Absolutely the clearest instructions I've come across. I got things wrong trying to follow two other sets of written but ambiguous instructions elsewhere before coming across Jeff's video. Nailed it in one. Very grateful. Truly excellent job.
I did it! It worked. I'm so exited, I know nothing about computers, accidentally erased my harddisk completely and needed to get it working again. Bought an USB drive and followed these instructions and it worked!!
Thanks a million for these good to follow and clear instructions!! My Mac mini has a new lease on life. Thank you!!!
Perfect tutorial! very easy to follow, perfect speed, very clear sound and very good video quality. Very appreciate for making this video
This is by far, the best tutorial for doing this. The speech is clear and concise, knowledgeable and the video is easily referred to when confirming that you are doing it right. Thank you!
I am a former computer tech, and I must say, this is truly PERFECT video tutorial. Apple's protocol failed, and after 2 hours, I gave up and found your video that walked me through the process with ease. Thank you so much! I'm subscribing to support your channel as a hat's off thank you :)
Very easy to follow. I agree with the comments below. I did this on a Mac Book Air about 4 years old. Like he says be patient it took over an hour to do this.
As many others have said, super easy tutorial with easy to follow steps. This will be my go-to when recommending these instructions to others!
I have just followed your instruction and have created a bootable Monterey USB. Your tutorial is quite clear and easy to follow. Thanks.
A clear tutorial without unnecessary information, thanks!
Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise and well articulated and presented. Thank you very much.
Wow, this is the most helpful tutorial! I am in Ethiopia helping a friend who had a 2015 Macbook air running on Mavericks (10.9). Ethiopia has no relationship with Apple, so there was no way for her to use an Apple ID. Plus, Mavericks is so old that no MacOS was showing up in the App store. Her machine can run on Big Sur, but she had no way of getting there without help. Your tutorial solved the problem! I have no technical skills to speak of but I was able to use your tutorial to install Big Sur so that she can download new apps and stay on a supported version of Apple's OS. She is now able to login with her apple ID, etc. THANK YOU! This would have cost her $100 USD at a shop to do, which is 1/3 of the average young college grad's monthly salary.
Never saw better explanation and clarity. I am a IT pro and this is the best video I saw on bootable creation.
After I watched tons of ways to create a bootable usb for Mac with no success, yours is definitely the simple and most effective way to do it, thanks a lot
Incredible! This is the way! there are so many other videos, none of those get to the point this easy!
Brilliant sorted my Mac book air 2015 that was stuck with high sierra. Could not update. But followed your tutorial and Boom. I feel alive again!!!!!!!
Thank you so much😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You helped save a trip to the Store for my cousin. Her M1 Mac Mini was having issues, thankfully I was able to get a bootable disc made for her and it got her back up and running.
really nice tutorial that still holds up two years later. Thanks a lot!
Superb job. This is how instruction videos should be done. Nio annoying music. No begging. Straight to the point. Every step clearly explained. Thanks. again.
Perfect, Precise, To The Point. No Need For Third Party Software When Mac OS Is Capable Itself. Nothing Can Be More Perfect Than This Video For The Topic. Thank You So Much. You Earned An Honest Follower And A Subscriber Too. Stay Blessed.
Jeff, you're awesome. I love the way you go through instructions. Best on the internet. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Jeff. Terrific tutorial. Clear and concise.
Just loved the explanation, easy to follow and high quality.
Thanks so much! Definitely the easiest and clearest explanation on TH-cam!
Upgraded from late 2011 MacBook Pro to mid 2015 MacBook Pro. Will be putting in 2tb SSD in tomorrow. Then restoring from my backups from 2011 post install of Monterey. Thank you for posting this video, working out great...
After attempting to fix my wife’s MacBook Pro, which wouldn’t reload Big Sur, wouldn’t reload Sierra and would load from Internet options this was my 4th attempt at trying to get anything installed. Thank you SO much, you saved me from having to buy another laptop or at least from sleeping on the couch for a week.
For anyone else with this issue, I just plugged the flash drive into the MacBook and restarted it. The Apple logo finally showed up and then immediately went to recovery mode and gave me the chance to load a fresh copy of Monterey. Nothing to it
this is a lifesaver mate! was getting rough time finding the correct path names through terminal :)
Thank you so much. You saved me after several failed attempts to install from the internet., God bless you. Keep up the good work
you've really fine tuned your directions -- excellent
easy to follow, clear voice, and great instructions, thanks man.
I have been going crazy try to figure out the installation of ios monterey. Nothing was working for me at all until I saw your video. Huge thakns to you!!!!!
Perfect tutorial, straight to the point, user friendly, right speed, and overall working😂. Thanks!
How were you able to download the OS from the app
Store?
@@2tmdavid226 I first went to a supported mac, downloaded the boot file form the App Store, put it on a usb stick and then booted on my old MacBook.
Thanks. I love your simplicity style of video. Very simple and easy.
Thanks again.
This was super clear and easy! Thanks so much 🙌
The BEST tutorial. Never comment but felt the need to! THANKS~~
Simple and to the point! Great video!
Thank You!!! This was great. Very clear. Made it easy. Worked first time.
Thank you so much for the perfect easy instructions that worked like a charm and first time using terminal! I've used DiskMaker X to create bootable disk drives starting with El Capitan, I believe and support has ended with Catalina. ):
This is a great tutorial. I got an "old" Macbook from a friend and it was completely empty and online reinstall didn't work either. I just reinstalled Macos Monterey on a 2015 Mabook Air. This video is a life saver. Thank you.
Thank You!!! You are awesome. Love your channel.
Very clear and straight to the point. Thank you
Great walkthrough. Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect and clearest tutorial. Thanks!
Perfect and easy to use! Thanks, Jeff!
Thanks a ton! Well explained and easy to follow instructions :)
Excellent video! I had issues reinstalling on my MacBook Pro and once I did the boot drive, all is well. Thanks!
I love you. Made it super simple. Subscribed. Thanks
my friend you are a life saver. I am at the making the usb stick bootable. will follow up when done and installed
great drag and drop terminal tip!! thank you
thanks brother you saved my life its work using you method . I tries other people on youtube none of them work I struck at volume nothing boot or work keep saying must use root or argument value lol. your more detail and explains well thanks again keep up to good work help people need help like me
Thank you for this high quality presentation. I will do a fresh install of Monterey onto my Early 2015 MBP, which is at the tail end of making the cut for this OS; I am running Mojave now. My 14-inch 2021 MBP is scheduled to arrive in a month, during which I will deliberate whether to use the Migration Assistant utility or start fresh and selectively copy items as needed. In either case, wiping my existing laptop via this newly-created bootable USB will not occur until I am comfortable my workflow is in tact on the new unit.
im in a similar boat, did with a 2015 mbp, did you stay on Mojave or did you go Monterey?
This really helped me out, I accidentally deleted all my mac through FIND MY IPHONE app. i had to use another mac to download the file onto USB and in Terminal had to remember to put the spaces in after Sudo and volume, it was just so relieving, didn't have to take it to a professional, thank you so much
Good clear tutorial, thanks
Wonderful....just straight to the point, thanks
This was a perfect video, well explained, nice to watch. THANKS
you rock! thanks for a great tutorial!!🙌
Thanks! Really straightforward
took a while to get the correct google key search words for this to populate - thank you so much !!
These are the best instructions ever!
Amazing tutorial, highly appreciate.
Super instructional! thank you! One thing I needed to do was to remain APFS containers via the terminal of older Mac OS Mojave before I could install on the new drive: From Terminal, "diskutil list". find the container name you need to delete that is APFS (HD needs to be GUID Partition). Then type: "diskutil apfs deleteContainer /dev/[nameofdisk itentifier, eg: “disk0s2”] then you can make a clean install. Just be warned this will delete eveything on the partition / container selected. Choose wisely!
Simple tutorial, particularly the use of the direct resources and achieving the goal alone with on-board resources of macOS itself I find exceptionally good, many German tutorials fall back on third-party providers, which ultimately breaks the chain of trust. So: Thank you for this video! Incredibly helpful!
can't download monetary from apple store on m1, says get but then installation fails, any ideas ?
@@mikehunt576 happened to me as well. I went to the AppStore downloaded it and at the and it said it was unable to open it or something. I think the problem is that my Mac runs OS Ventura (I need Monterey for another Mac). So I tried my luck and opened applications and look at that 'install macOS Monterey' is there.
Maybe it's the same for you.
Good luck!
@@lucasfwe I am now using an external drive- user to have more space, you simply create an admin account, within this account you never trash in your internal drive you make a second user, then drag that folder to the ext SSD, go to your prefs users etc, redirect the new ext SS folder using the right click advance (Monterey r Ventura) trash the internal SSD copy...then log in.
from time to time I had accidents, such as kids disconnecting my etc ssd, you then see errors like your home folder is corrupt, you simply return to the internal admin folder, prefs, advance area to re direct to the ext SSD home folder and all works.
the only things that don't work are legacy extensions, sneaky apps only booting from int drive such as AVID pro tools plugins, WAVES,, but nothing and I mean nothing else showed issues,
Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
Thanks for useful tips man!
Very clear tutorial. Thank you very much
Thanks for the help!
Awesome video. Thanks a lot. Working 100%.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! this was so easy to follow, pause and play! better than the apple instructions on their website!!! bravo, sir!!! BRAVO!!!
Great! Simple and Clear!!
Thanks so much. Your instructions were so helpful. I have a 13 Macbook Pro 2015 that I had installed a new 256GB SSD. When I would boot into Recovery and try to use Disk Utilities to initialize & format it would not work because it Disk Utilities did not have the option to change the View to "All".
So using your video I made a bootable installer and booted to it. Then opened Disk Utilities which was a newer version and it had the option to change view to "All devices" and my new SSD showed up. Was able to successfully initialize, format and install MacOD Big Sur.
Thanks again.
Hi, I ran into an error while trying to reinstall MacOS, after I erased my macbook Macintosh HD-Data Disk.
Its showing to install the Sierra OS, when I click on continue, it displays a msg "your computer eligibility will be verified". I clicked on continue then it shows a msg. " the installer information on the recovery server is damaged"..... The wifi is connected on the MacBook during this entire process...
I don't know what to do now.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
appreciate you big dawg, way easier to follow than the instructions on apples website!
Great explanation. You made something practical, that Apple made unnecessarily complicated
Thank you!!! What a great help!
Excellent summary for this boot task, thanks for putting this together, very clear
thank you ,you have a best Chanel in the world.
I used this method to boot Big Sur on my old 2014 mac-mini that was painfully slow in booting, running and opening apps. I bought a Samsung T7 Portable SSD - 1 TB for $110(Amazon). It is now much much faster than when I bought it new. Some things feel 2+ times faster. Everything pops up instantly so instead of junking my old mac mini I have a useable machine that I love again. Thank you
I am planning on doing the same thing. Question, I have the Monterey boot USB done. I understand holding down OPTION key to get to the right place. If the new SSD is connected and formatted properly (APFS/GUID, I think), do you then install it onto that drive?
@@leslieknowles3657 yes, the OS X file must be downloaded onto the ssd. Once done you will see a reboot option to start from the ssd. Good luck. If I can help further please let me know
@@Greguk444 Hi Greg, I have a question. I have 2 macbooks, one for my wife, one for me. I want to download monterey on my mac and install monterey on my wifes computer. Who's password do I use after the installation, mine or my wife?
@@peters1613 as far as I am aware you have to download the operating system onto each separate Mac, so you need to do it for each machine onto a ssd or hard drive, so the login should stay the same for each machine.
easily one of the best tutorials :D
Thanks a lot. I had done this a couple of years ago, but had forgotten how to do it, but found your video and it is now installing. Apple really ought to make it easier to make install disks without the need to using Terminal. it should also automatically wipe the ssd you want to install it on instead of using Disk Utility.
Very to-the-point and helpful.
Beautiful tutorial :) You are the guru :)
Thank you this helped out a lot !
Thank you very much, for the tutorial, I was able to install Monterey on the Mac.
Thanks, going to hopefully get my 2017 iMac working with this
Very clear, thank you!
Great video. You saved my life - haha! Thanks much.
Excellent and concise.
very helpful, thanks!
This sets the standard for instructional videos. If people could see the dislike button still, they'd see this video with no dislikes.
Nah ; there’s Always someone who dislikes …
Great Video and instructions, I was able to creat a boot usb the first time I tried. 5 stars
I always do a fresh install of on my macs and even sometime after a few years of use will do one too. The awesome thing now is that macOS Monterey has a built in “Erase all contents and Settings” similar to iOS where instead of going through this process it will just wipe everything and put a clean copy of macOS just like a fresh install just without the hassle of booting from drive etc. maybe you should do a video on that! Pros and cons etc
MacOS has become read only, so there is pretty much no need to “reinstall macOS” as the system partition is not writable on normal operations anymore. I cant even mount the system partition inside macOS.
One thing he should’ve mentioned is external boot option will NOT work if internal drive is dead. There is no viable way to extract data from it after the effect without some extremely sophisticated procedures and advanced tools.
Only with T2 chips sadly, 2018 and up. So 2017 not supported :((
Intel with T2 chip. Followed the instructions EXACTLY from Apple support website. After "clean" install - still junk PHP files. It does NOT do a clean install by this method.
doesnt work on a 2015 mac book pro
Very useful steps!
Thanks! you are a hero!
perfect! clear, direct, accurate.
I cannot thank you enough for this video!
Thanks homie! Great video!
Super easy! Step by step. Used an old ps4 drive.
Thanks a lot Jeff.
This was super helpful to me
great vid!
Fantastic. Thank you!
Still helpful Thanks a lot Bro!
