Download mavericks and do it with disk maker x version 3.4 -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Holton Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2014 2:36 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: clean install with disc maker x?
Hi. I am still having major issues creating a Mavericks startup disk. I have tried Disk X both with an 8 gig stick and an 80 gig usb drive. I have both formatted to Mac OS Extended, journaling. I have tried them one at a time. Both are named untitled Using Disk X I wind up with a no windows screen. I caught these terminal commands to create a startup disk. sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction When I paste these lines into the terminal and press enter, I do get prompted for my system password, but after entering it the terminal merely repeats the commands with a brief description of what each command does. I must be missing something here. Any suggestions much appreciated. Ih have also tried this with both the stick and the USB drive. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kliphton ------- Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 6:08 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: clean install with disc maker x? Yes, you need a 8GB thumb drive, or a partition on a external USB formated to mac extended journaled, and named untitled. also, you do not need to put disc maker x in the applications folder, I ran it from the downloads folder and it worked just fine Kliphton ~Email&iMessage~ kliphton....@outlook.com ~Twitter,Instagram,Foursquare&Skype~ kliphton72 (Text only) 914-820-2298 (Personal blog-Read at your own risk) http://kliphskorner.wordpress.com Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 28, 2014, at 2:58 PM, "Bill Holton" <bill32...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi. > I have downloaded the Mavericks install app, it is in my apps > directory I Nextel loaded disk maker ex, I have put it into my apps folder as well.

Lion, mountain lion, or mavericks. I chose mavericks. Next it will tell you what versions of lion or mavircks it found on your system. Then it will ask you are you sure, ask for your admin password, and then do its thing. It will first say disc maker has no windows, that will go on for about 1 minut or so. Then disc maker will continue to say busy for about 10 to 12 minutes. It will then tell you that it is completing copying final files, and in about another 2 minutes, your bootible thumb drive of mavericks is complete. These are the steps I did, don't know if anyone else will have to change something, but this is what worked for me. >>> Sent from my iPhone >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, >> send an email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send > an email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
