Everytime when Apple releases new software, I can’t help it to format my computer. I just don’t seem to trust an update of a operating system. I like to create a bootable USB drive because it’s blazing fast to install an OS. For Yosemite, it took me +- 15 minutes with a USB3 stick.
Luckily it is fairly easy to create a bootable USB drive for OSX 10.10 Yosemite!
These are the steps you have to take
1. Download Yosemite installer via de AppStore
2. Have a formatted (Mac OS Extended journaled) USB stick ready and name it Untitled
3. Open Terminal Window
4. Execute the following statement
|
1 |
sudo /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled/ --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/ --nointeraction |
5. Hit enter
6. Fill in your password
7. When it’s ready, just reboot your mac and hold the alt key
8. Select the bootable usb drive from the menu]
9. There is no step 9 🙂
Hope this helps you guys out 🙂
