With external 10.10.3 as active system (after rebooting), if ONLY I could create a new user and password that WAS accepted, I could then (seemingly) install Yosemite on the 2 TB external HD without further difficulties. I have "Install OS X Yosemite" on FBS 10.10.3 external HD desktop and when I reboot with that Yosemite active, that installer will allow me to install it on the 2TB external EXCEPT that that 10.10.3 system will not accept any User/password combinations which I enter.
It does not recognise the formatted 2TB external HD is connected either. With internal 10.11.4 active, DiskMaker will not allow me to even access 500GB external FatBoySlim (where 10.10.3 is already installed). Selecting "Another kind of disk" opens window "FatBoySlim10.10.3" with Cancel as the only active button ("Use this disk" button is dimmed.Ĭlicking "Cancel" button (only option) opens window "Sorry, I can’t find a disk to use… Please plug a disk, then relaunch DiskMaker V." Selecting "Use this copy" opens window "Which kind of disk.? Selecting "Yosemite (10.10) opens window "I found a copy in. El Capitan says this copy is "too old" to use.)ĭouble clicking "DiskMaker X 5" icon (in Apploications folder) opens window "Which version of OS X do you wish to make a boot disk of? (I also have a copy on the internal 10.11.4 desktop. Sorry.Ĭlick to expand.Hello honestone and oldscribe,Īfter downloading DiskMaker X 5(03) from site, I installed it in internal 10.11.4 "Applications" folder. The 2 jpg files (around 50kb each) which illustrate each failed attempt will not upload.

Until I can learn how to create and new admin user and new password on that 500GB Yosemite external HD that that system WILL accept, I will keep failing to circumvent the impediments both El Capitan (internal) and Yosemite (external 500GB) use to obstruct my installation efforts. This also prevents Yosemite being installed on 2TB external. The contents of “Users” folder and “External 500GB Get Info do not match. Upon opening that 2 TB HD icon and double clicking "Install OS X Yosemite" app, El Capitan prevents installation proceeding by warning "this copy of 'Install OS X' is too old.".Īfter rebooting with 10.10.3 external active, upon opening that 2 TB HD icon and double clicking "Install OS X Yosemite" app, Yosemite requires an administrator's name and password to be entered before installation can proceed. When Terminal instructions were complete, the 2 TB HD had been renamed from "Untitled" to "Install OS X Yosemite". With 10.11.4 internal active, I used Terminal to erase external 2TB and copy installer files etc. As this was before El Capitan arrived to create so much universal havoc, I think this may not advance the cause. Regarding the link, I notice the date (created?) as being June 2014. Which "data loss" and/or deletion of important system files" does the warning refer to, please? The target 2TB external is formatted but blank. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort." Or the deletion of important system files. "WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss ("Untitled" being the name of the formatted but blank 2TB external HD.)Īfter entering this text into "Terminal" and hitting "return", the following warning appears in the Terminal window: "sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/Untitled -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app -nointeraction" All parts of this exercise I carried out with the internal OS X 10.11.4 as active system.Īfter amending the text you supplied to read: Turn the power on, hold down the Option key, and select the drive from the list that appears on the screen.

To use it, simply connect the drive to the target Mac with the power off. It should say "Copy Complete" when it's done. The process of readying the disk as a bootable drive will begin.
Diskmaker x el capitan update#
You will be prompted to enter your system password the password you use to update apps on your Mac, or to login at boot.Paste that text into the Terminal application and hit the Return key.Copy the following text: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/Installer -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app -nointeraction It is important to remember what your hard drive was called? If you didn't call it "Installer," you'll need to change the pathname where it says /Volumes/Installer to the name of your drive.
Open the Utilities folder if it's closed.You may need a friend to down load Yosemite, if your purchased option is grey. I use three ways to create a boot-able OS X install drive, using the installer’s built-in createinstallmediatool, using Disk Utility, or performing the Disk Utility procedure using Terminal.
