DiskMaker X

Is it posible with DiskMaker to create a bootable drive to install Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6 in a iMac 2020? Could I have that downgrade?

Does exactly what I need. I had a MacBook Pro with a corrupted startup and needed to reinstall the El Capitan OS. I found the installer app and the correct version of DiskMaker X, created a startup USB from my High Sierra iMac, and successfully reinstalled El Capitan on the MacBook Pro for it to now startup and function again.

lors de la mise en oeuvre de diskmaker version catalina j'ai un message d'erreur "logiciel de chargement corrompu " j'ai retelechargé le logiciel sans succes pour sa mise en oeuvre . Ou se trouve l'erreur?

impossible de creer un disque bootable .J' ai essayé de faire ce disque et j'ai utilisé le disque crée apres changement de mon ssd sur macbook air sans resultat

Needs a Catalina Update Please

Seems to have been broken by 10.14.3 :( Bounces in Dock & then silently dies.

The Developer's website offers version 8.0.3, but I found that its 8.0.3 download has both the same Creation and Modification times as does the version 8.0.2 available here at MacUpdate. Nevertheless, the size of those apps are different (by about 5K bytes): I found that v8.0.2's Finder Info Size is 4,925,291 bytes (5 MB on disk), and v8.0.3's Finder Info size is 4,930,149 bytes (5 MB on disk).

Hey all, I wanted to leave a note fro the Developer here, there seems to be an issue with 8.0.2, where even after a fresh download and install of the App still reports a new version, even with the posted version here being the latest. By the way I downloaded DiskMakerX directly from the developer's site and it still reports a new version, even with the latest download. there doesn't seem to be anything newer then what was released today.

I had an unusual issue when using DiskMakerX version 8 to create a Mojave install disk. While the process completed correctly, the issues came up after booting from the USB drive. Apparently as of 10.14.1, the wireless Mouse / Keyboard assistant pops up. I have the Magic Mouse 2, and Apple Aluminum USB keyboard with the hub. On the USB stick, the system was never able to link with the magic mouse, even though it was on, and pressing the button / holding the button didn't seem to work. The keyboard worked fine. Oddly enough the Restore partition on the hard drive brought up the same assistant, but was able to link with the mouse just fine. Also the restore partition seems to remember the setup, so I haven't been asked again if I have to use it again. I used a clean 8GB SanDisk USB stick, and a fresh download of the Mojave install app. I haven't tried making a disk from version 8.0.1. System is a late 2015 iMac 27" Did Apple Change the OS install? I've never been asked about keyboard / mouse prior to the 10.14.1 installer, nor has the USB installer ever had issues with the magic mouse.

This is such a convenient way of being able to install macOS on multiple machines. It allows me to do a fresh install of the OS and then restore Users and Applications from backups.

downloaded, launched and it will only make a bootable disk capable of only installation Mac OS Majave ( my macos is high sierra 10.13.6 ). I have other USB drives with MacOS systems from Snow Leopard to High Sierra . Therefore not sure how I actually use this application.

Just made a fresh install of macOS Mojave on 2 Macs from USB disk created with DiskMaker X v8. Have used the app before multiple times and never had a problem. Thank you for a very handy tool!

Is this current version ready for Mojave?

Since DiskMaker is broken for High Sierra, there is another app you can use to do the same thing. It is called macOS High Sierra Patcher. I used it to make a High Sierra thumb drive and also it works with Mojave beta 1, but will not boot off of the Mojave thumb drive. http://dosdude1.com/highsierra/

If you have TotalFinder installed, you'll get different errors, with both X6 and X 7. I'm pretty sure you can ignore the errors and it'll work just fine, since I've done that before, but quitting TotalFinder and Relaunching Finder.app will result in no errors for X 6... X 7 still gets an error or two on High Sierra.

Unfortunately this is not working as well as before. I'm in El Capitan and tried versions 0.5 and 0.6 on a PNY Keychain USB stick that usually works great. DiskmakerX fails and fails again at simple stuff like ejecting or renaming the disk.

At the same time, the Terminal method described here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 is mostly a question of copy and paste and changing to the current name of the disk at "--volume /Volumes/MyVolume". Answer one question and the work is done for you.

I'll try 0.7 as well.

If you want to make a 10.12 Sierra installer, don't bother with version 7.0, it seems to be high Sierra only. Use 6.0rc 5, downloaded from the developer's web site. Otherwise a great product.

Seems to be very broken with the update to High Sierra. I got the application as far as prepping the thumb drive, typing in my admin password, then it errors out: "Sorry, your OS X install app or DMG may be incomplete. Delete your install application, then download it again from the App Store."

The developer seems to be very good about updates, and this app is very much worth it. I recommend it to everyone.

The easiest way to create a system installer stick. It takes a bit of time, but has worked every time I have used it.

Version 7, which is compatible with High Sierra, is available to download from the developers webpage: http://diskmakerx.com. This is a great, free app that I use with each new version of macOS.
