Thank you for a great video. I had a Mac Mini that a neighbor had from her son. It did not have the recovery partition or a supervisor account. I formatted the drive but was unable to install a new OS. Your video allowed me to clone my Mac to a usb drive and then boot into the Mini. Success, not to clean it up as if to sell and let her set it up as she needs to. Thanks again, I learned a few things about the issues with newer OS and Carbon Copy and SuperDuper.
Sir !!! You are the man!!! I have been stuck for the last few days... with a ton of errors on install. Your date change trick worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much!
"Thank you so much for your tutorial, it solved my issue. I had been trying to fix my laptop problem for a week with no success. Best of luck to your channel. You've gained a new subscriber."
Really appreciate this video. I've done tons of installs over the years using CCC and / or TimeCasule on my own machines, but never a clean install on a new drive for someone else's machine. Trying to help a friend install new SSD and this will help me get the job done.
Thank you for your tip on changing the date and time. I was struggling to install High Sierra onto my 17" Macbook Pro (A1297). The install process stopped with the error Install "MacOS Application is Damaged...". I learned that this was due to an expired certificate. So I used your information to change the Macbook date and time to something shortly after High Sierra, disabled WiFi and tried again. This time the install worked. Thanks again and I hope my information helps someone else with the same problem.
4 year old video and I am going to do this today! I installed a new SSD in my 2017 iMac 5k Retina. I have a Macbook Pro M2 now, but would still love to use my iMac as a secondary. It absolutely will not install Sierra using wifi. So FINALLY ordered a bootable USB and it get's delivered tonight. So glad I saw the date change info...
I had been struggling for several days trying to install el capitain with no success. The tip about the error and changing the date via terminal worked great. Install done very quickly after that. Great video and advise. A big thank you.
This is so extremely helpful and the cloning method may work for me. It seems that I cannot even access or have removed the base os tools for recovery, and my drive needs disk utility or terminal to be formatted
Thanks very much, am trying to do a clean install on new SSD in an old MacBook (install CD roms are lost) and was having a lot of trouble making a thumb drive work. Your cloning method with the software worked great. Many thanks!
thank you very much - this is one of the clearest explanation videos I have seen ( and no annoying music in the b/g gives you extra points!!) appreciate your help
Method 1 implemented successfully. After struggling 15+ hours with multiple bootable usb downloads, working in terminal changing the date, cutting the internet connection, multiple attempts using both Recovery methods ... I finally said "I've exhausted all possible solutions with this approach. I need a better idea, something more efficient." And there it was. Here, I found it. It took me more than 2 days to realize I had all the equipment needed to solve the problem. Thank you very much. For the record: My late 2011 MacBook Pro will stay with El Capitan until the day it dies. Have a blessed day. 🙏🏽
Had a 2012 MacBook Pro which had a hdd puke out on me and could not extract info...Installled a new blank SSD thanks to this video and so far works great...
Thanks man. I just wish you had the ability to explain every other thing else technically as you are very clear and precise. Even an armature would actually understand. Ive watched many vids trying to repir my macbook but your is the one that helped me. Thanks alot!
@HARSH TYMEZ that's sad mate. I tried many times, without a hurry, and it worked, finally. Sometimes you have to force shut down and so... but it should work. I installed it from zero on a new SSD drive, then installed all the stuff I had on the original HD drive.
@HARSH TYMEZ I was thinking on your answer and I just remembered something VERY IMPORTANT. Somehow, the SSD drive couldn't be formated into the new formatting system of Mac OS; but after some tries it's possible. You must format your disk to APFS format instead of the HFS+. Can't remember if related with your problem but I just remembered that. Hope it helps!
Thank you, had just the information I needed. I forgot to format my blank drive before putting installing it into my mac book, luckily your video reminded me that I can access disk utility from the bootable installation media.
you are a complete legend mate, had been struggling getting a new MacOSX onto my MBP when disk util would consistently fail to see HDD when using usb installer. Fired up my MBP in target disk mode and cloned my iMac HDD onto it with Carbon Clone Copy software. Bingo, worked beautifully. Thanks again.
I personally use it for every installation, I only suggest things that I personally use in the field. I want every viewer of @SaveAppleDollars to learn something useful that saves time and money. I’m glad that it worked for you. Thanks for the supportive comment :)
I wished I'd come across this video a week ago. I had this exact problem which took me multiples attempts to fix. This would have saved a lot of time (and cussing!)
Excellent tutorial! From now on I will send the moochers (the friends that wont pay my consulting fe because are "friends" LOL) to this video so they can migrate to a new drive themselves. Well done!
All have sinned and so all are worthy of death and deserve hell, for God’s standard is perfection and none of us could meet it by doing good deeds. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” But God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die in our place as a substitutionary atonement for our sins. He is the only way to Heaven that God has provided. If you believe in Him, then you will be saved. John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
@@GRIBSOFT you don't need a clone app to do this. Your disk utility in your Mac can do everything. Just connect the new HDD to the Mac via sata cable. Drag the original HDD to source, drag the new HDD to destination,,, click restore,, if there is error, u then unmount both HDD.... You do it by restarting the system and doing it in recovery
i need help please! i hava an macbook pro 2007 A1226 I replaced my hard drive because the original one died. how can i install macos on it now? i do not have access to another mac
Thank you so much for a very Professional, clean and to the point video. I usually do not write a comment but you have helped me a lot with this useful video. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
thank you kind sir for the lenghty and meaningful explanation.. I'm basically a new mac user coming from windows pc and currently wanting to upgrade my late 2012 mac mini using ssd but not wanting to do dual drive yet because I don't have the kit. this video helps a lot for me to understand the how to process for doing fresh install os from bootable drive..
I tried doing this but got an error saying “An internal error occurred while preflighting your volume for APFS conversion” is there a way to fix this issue?
Thank you very much, I needed the command+option+R command and I didnt find it anywhere but your site.I am a dj and I was trying to mirror my 2 laptops, but migration assistant doesnt work if you try to migrate to an earlier software and both MAC's are monterey compatible but the backup had high sierra after i erased the drive as part of the recovery mode. Thank YOU !!!
Recently my macbook air has not been recognizing my external hard drive with my os on it and has just been opening the os on the macbook itself. Do you know how I solve this?
thanks your video was helpful i searched many others and none could help me with my problem but your video had the exact solution i needed, the second key commands on downloading from the web is what did the trick for me.God bless you for your help brother you have a blessed life.🙏

I can't install Mac os Catalina, I've created a booteable Catalina Usb, taken off the original 128gb SSD on MacBook air 2017 and installed a WD Blue sn550 NVMe SSD using a M.2 PCI-E AHCI SSD adapter, booted from the USB and tried to install onto the new SSD but after a selecting install Mac os it shows a prohibited or "do not" sing, what could be happening? By the way, the disc are being recognized because it shows in disk utility and also i've deactivated firmware password to allow booting from external devices
In step 2: so ONE partition? I thought Mac split the drive into two sections. The one being a place to just hold the recovery software in case you ever had to do this again (and the drive failed or something).
Is internet recovery (3rd option) working on macbook pro mid 2009? I've been try it but the spinning globe is not showing... the apple logo is the one shown even I press down the correct button.
So I have a Mac Book Air , that as I was trying to factory reset the whole computer I accidentally deleted he Mac OS Sierra Drive , now it’s with out a drive; any way I can fix this ? I do have another Mac book if that helps ; hope you can help , thank you , great Video BTW keep up the great work
Well you can create a usb drive but Apple made me take down the video for that, you can also watch this data recovery video ua-cam.com/video/rb19xM4egzQ/v-deo.html maybe it can help.
Help please! When I put my usb (with the osx) to the mac mini and holding the option key, it didn’t recognise anything, still the only option is the internet. Internet recovery is not working, loading for like 30minutes in 24:00 then says apple/support and -2106F
best tutorial ive seen on this (ive seen 50 + by now). Mojave is killing me with SSD mid 2011. i had an ssd in there but new replacement is exact same and won't boot. How can I test my internal SATA ribbon?
I'm trying to install a downloaded os onto an old 20" imac (mid 2007) mainly just to see if I can do it, I'm using transmac on Windows 10 to make a bootable USB drive.. I've followed the instructions but with no success as of yet, however I'm trying again , this time trying the GPT partition option, I'm not sure it's going to work but I'm still giving it a shot
If i don't have the admin password and can't get in recovery mode on an old mac from 2008 (10.6.8) would putting a new hard drive solve the old admin password requirement?
(Internet recovery method) when I go to download the OS X El Capitan, I get (this item is temporarily unavailable.) I’m not sure what to do next. Help!!
Trying to make a bootable el capitan usb to fix an old laptop....none of the instructions above work sadly. I get "command not found" when i try to do it on my m1 mac studio to make the usb.....grrrr. Why must it be so difficult
What does it mean when you get a White screen after booting from DVD? Takes a heck of a long time to load from DVD but when it finishes the system goes to a white screen. Give it more time? Or is there a problem?
I will take a hard drive from an existing system and use it to clone onto the internal drive of a new system,, because it seems difficult to install a DMG or iso and have it pass the integrity check that takes hours- only to get the message that the image is corrupt.
SIR, by far the best info i got to reinstall a 2007 and 2009 macbook with leopard and high sierra on ssd + 4 gb ram each made them usable for my mom and niece, thx so much, ps. as a pc user i am surprised how a dual core from 2007 and 2009 hold up so good combined with those upgrades.
i sure wish this worked on the 3 mac pro's im trying to refurb for a family member. command r simply does nothing on all 3 of the units, and all 3 were fully running units. due to hippa compliance, the drives had to be removed and wiped, so im trying to install from a mojave usb that i made (in windows, no other option) but all i get is the flashing folder icon. nothing works on all sites that i search.
Help!! I have a 2013 air book with empty hard drive . I also have a 2012 air book that works great!! I’d like to clone one drive exactly and keep word and excel, and clone it to the newer 2013?
Swapped hard disks, and then when macos tries to boot in recovery, it won't let me type anything for the password for wifi. The keyboard only seems to recognize caps lock and enter. I tried 2 wired mac keyboards, one bluetooth keyboard, and 1 logitech wireless keyboard. I guess I'll have to remove the HDD and buy a SATA-USB cable and install that way...
I’m trying to get a mid 2011 MacBook Pro back up and running. Where I’m running into an issue is that Mac OS X Lion is not able to be installed via the Internet Recovery option. This is apparently due to it not being supported by Apple due to its age. Has anyone here been in this situation and knows what to do? I’m not married to the idea of having Mac OS X Lion on the laptop. I’m perfectly fine with installing the maximum compatible version of OS X/macOS on the laptop. I’m also attempting to install the OS on a new SSD if that happens to make a difference. Thanks in advance for the helpful recommendations ya geniuses! Have a great day!

hi guys, the best info that ive had was by following the Mels Speed Method (i found it on google) definately the no.1 treatment that I've tried.
All have sinned and so all are worthy of death and deserve hell, for God’s standard is perfection and none of us could meet it by doing good deeds.

But God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die in our place as a substitutionary atonement for our sins. He is the only way to Heaven that God has provided. If you believe in Him, then you will be saved.

What does it mean when you get a White screen after booting from DVD? Takes a heck of a long time to load from DVD but when it finishes the system goes to a white screen. Give it more time? Or is there a problem?
I will take a hard drive from an existing system and use it to clone onto the internal drive of a new system,, because it seems difficult to install a DMG or iso and have it pass the integrity check that takes hours- only to get the message that the image is corrupt.

i sure wish this worked on the 3 mac pro's im trying to refurb for a family member. command r simply does nothing on all 3 of the units, and all 3 were fully running units. due to hippa compliance, the drives had to be removed and wiped, so im trying to install from a mojave usb that i made (in windows, no other option) but all i get is the flashing folder icon. nothing works on all sites that i search.
Help!! I have a 2013 air book with empty hard drive . I also have a 2012 air book that works great!! I’d like to clone one drive exactly and keep word and excel, and clone it to the newer 2013?
I bought a Mac Pro off ebay and it doesn't have a GPU. How would I go about finding a compatible GPU to install a new OSX?
Swapped hard disks, and then when macos tries to boot in recovery, it won't let me type anything for the password for wifi. The keyboard only seems to recognize caps lock and enter. I tried 2 wired mac keyboards, one bluetooth keyboard, and 1 logitech wireless keyboard.
I guess I'll have to remove the HDD and buy a SATA-USB cable and install that way...
I’m trying to get a mid 2011 MacBook Pro back up and running. Where I’m running into an issue is that Mac OS X Lion is not able to be installed via the Internet Recovery option. This is apparently due to it not being supported by Apple due to its age. Has anyone here been in this situation and knows what to do? I’m not married to the idea of having Mac OS X Lion on the laptop. I’m perfectly fine with installing the maximum compatible version of OS X/macOS on the laptop. I’m also attempting to install the OS on a new SSD if that happens to make a difference. Thanks in advance for the helpful recommendations ya geniuses! Have a great day!
