Hey guys,
In today’s video I will demonstrate how to install a fresh, clean version of macOS High Sierra on your Mac.
This video will demonstrate how to:
1. Create a backup of your files.
2. Download macOS High Sierra.
3. Download and Install Disk Creator.
4. How to create a bootable USB Flash Drive with macOS High Sierra.
5. How to use the Flash Drive to Install macOS High Sierra on your Mac.
The process isn’t very tough, but it is time consuming. So make sure that you aren’t in a hurry, and won’t need your computer for the day.
Time Stamps:
Introduction - 0:05
Boot Time (Prior to Restore) - 1:17
Creating A Backup - 3:01
Downloading macOS High Sierra Installer - 6:04
Download Disk Creator - 7:00
Creating the Bootable Flash Drive - 7:50
Installing High Sierra onto Your Mac - 10:47
Boot Time (After the Restore) - 15:42
Conclusion - 17:20
COMMENT DOWN BELOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OR SETUP PROCESS! I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.
I CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH: PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL OF YOUR FILES/DATA.
Once you go through with this process you will not be able to recover them.
The items you’ll need for this install are:
1. A Mac
2. A Flash Drive - 8 GB or larger (USB 3.0 recommended)
3. Disk Creator (Application)

Hello, I had a lot of trouble getting a clean hard drive and clean install, with many many dead ends. Then I did a secure erase with disk utility, the second option with 2 passes, took a couple of hours but by following this excellent tutorial and enlightening comments a working "install thumb drive" was created and installed as a going operating system. (almost never been able to do that before) The 2010 iMac was my Dads and had what seemed like a bad graphics card, even to the Apple store, I started to muck around a bit and sometimes there was a perfect screen so about 60 restarts etc etc. and three weeks later, within an hour and a half, and in the words of Ace Ventura ... "It's Alive" ... It's Alive" Thank you all so much. Phil.

Auto Technica just to add some details. maybe it helps someone. I bought a second hand 27 inch mid 2011 iMac 3 days ago. tried to reinstall the latest OS via recovery, High Sierra - did not work, it had remote management on it (some German company). Tried to reset it to factory settings and install the OS it came with, Lion - did not work, got the “can’t download the additional components” message. Tried your tutorial, installed High Sierra via USB, still got the remote management window...was a little bit dissapointend, thought it would not work. After some mins got back, clicked everywhere and chosed the option “my mashine does not use internet” or something like this and I was able to continue the installation. Finally I have admin rights on the iMac, checked the profiles, there is no MDM profile on it. Thanks again! Stay safe!!!!

I don't see how. The App Store no longer allows downloading an older OS. You can't even find them via a search. The only way I see is to enter Recovery Mode on the target computer, connect to the App Store during that process and then enter the ORIGINAL OWNER's user name and password to get the ORIGINAL OS that came with the machine. If I enter my own user name and password, which are registered for Mac Minis I bought with Sierra on them, it says "Currently Unavailable" even for Catalina, which is the original OS on the laptop I was donated. There is no OS on the laptop, only a recovery partition and an erased OS partition.

I think it's theoretically possible but I haven't tried it. You will probably have to create two partitions on your hard drive and then install both using separate installers. It's quite simple if you want Windows and Mac because you can use Bootcamp. However it will be a lot harder if you want anything else.

@Auto-Technica 6 жыл бұрын
Hey Joe, Glad you found this useful. The issue you are having is that when you are erasing your hard drive in Disk Utility (13:46), in the format section your computer probably has GUID Partition or some other type of partition selected. What you need to do is select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and you shouldn't have this issue any longer. Let me know if this works!
@gabyu 5 жыл бұрын
By default, Disk Utility only displays the volumes. Click on the View icon (first left icon on the icon bar) then select "Show all devices". You'll then be able to see the whole set of containers and partitions. You'll then be able to erase or verify your drives' partition maps.

Can I do this on a MacBook that didn’t have an OS on it already?

I’m having problems getting through the Mac Installer. I formatted my SSD by Mac OS extended journaled and GUID... then when I click download and install High Sierra it prompts me select the SSD Drive, so I did that, then it asks for me to say Agree, then it looks like It will begin installing but doesn’t and jumps back to the previous menu box. Anyone know what’s up? I hope it’s not the SSD cable?

macOS High Sierra is not available for download anymore. I'm currently on macOS High Sierra, where else could I download macOS High Sierra? Or should I upgrade to Mojave before I do a clean install? Will you instruction work for MOjave? Thanks
@Auto-Technica 5 жыл бұрын
The same instructions will work for Mojave, but I did make an updated video if you'd prefer to follow that. Here's the link to that video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ir6KabaossDbYmQ.html
