如果您想下载最新版本的 macOS,您只需前往Mac App Store下载即可。但是,如果您是在电脑维修店工作的 IT 极客,正在翻新需要重新安装MacOS的(MacOS)Mac(Macs) ,该怎么办?至少可以说,如果您所在的Internet连接不可靠怎么办?
那么,访问App Store以重新安装 macOS 将非常困难且非常耗时。如果您已经准备好USB记忆棒上的程序,您会发现重新安装 macOS 会更加容易和快捷。(USB)
将最新最好的 MacOS 放在 U 盘上(Putting
The Latest & Greatest MacOS On a USB Stick)
在进入专业人士之前,我应该先解决这个问题。如果您有很多Mac(Macs)需要使用,制作 macOS 安装程序无疑可以节省大量时间,但也有(is)一个缺点。
由于操作系统会不断更新以解决安全问题,因此您最终放入USB记忆棒的任何版本的操作系统都将不可避免地很快失效。因此,您必须定期掌握安全更新,并确保您还使用我将要概述的方法更新您的记忆棒上的操作系统版本。
为此,您需要使用Mac计算机和良好的Internet连接,以及至少 8GB的(with at least 8GB on it) USB记忆棒。确保您备份了存储棒上的所有内容,因为存储棒在被Disk Creator(Disk Creator)格式化时会被擦除。
如何使用 Disk Creator 创建 MacOS 安装程序(How
To Create a MacOS Installer Using Disk Creator)
在撰写本文时,当前的 macOS 是Mojave。因此,您需要做的第一件事是在联网的Mac上访问(Mac)Mac App Store并下载操作系统。
只需单击“获取”按钮即可完成此操作。
它会询问您是否确定要下载它(可能是因为您已经下载了它)。单击“是”(您可能必须使用您的管理员 ID 登录)然后它将开始。
根据您的Internet连接速度,估计需要 5-10 分钟才能下载完整文件。完成后,您将在Applications文件夹中找到它。
接下来,解压缩并打开Disk Creator。无需安装。因此,您将立即看到这一点。
首先,选择安装程序。在这种情况下,它是“ USB ”(显然要先确保空白U(USB)盘在计算机中,以便它显示在此菜单中)。
现在单击“选择 macOS 安装程序”。这将在您的计算机上打开一个窗口。导航(Navigate)到Applications文件夹中的(Applications)Mojave文件并选择它。
最后,单击“创建安装程序”并让它完成工作。系统将要求您使用管理员密码登录以进行授权。
大约需要 10 分钟才能正确格式化USB记忆棒并准备好安装程序。
但是当它完成后,你会看到这个小窗口告诉你如何使用它。
使用终端制作 USB 安装程序(Making
The USB Installer Using The Terminal)
由于Disk Creator是免费且易于使用的,因此没有理由不使用它。但是有些人在使用来自第三方开发人员的软件时有点前卫。如果这描述了您,您仍然可以使用Terminal而不是Disk Creator来制作(Disk Creator)USB安装程序。
像往常一样下载 Mojave(Download Mojave)并插入空白U(USB)盘并准备就绪。然后在终端(Terminal)中,键入以下内容:
sudo /Applications/Install macOS install macOS
mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia – volume /Volumes/Untitled –
applicationpath /Applications/Install macOS install macOS mojave.app
--nointeraction &&say Done
出现提示时输入您的密码,并等待它在终端(Terminal)中显示“完成”,然后再移除USB驱动器。享受!
How To Make a MacOS Installer On a USB Stick
If you want to download the latest vеrsion of macOS, you simply hаve tо go to the Mac App Store and download it. But what if you are an IT geek working in a computer repair shop, refurbishing Macs that need MacOS reinstalled? What if the Internet connection where you are is dodgy, to say the least?
Well then, accessing the App Store to reinstall macOS is going to be pretty difficult and very time-consuming. You are going to find it much easier and faster to reinstall macOS if you already have the program on a USB stick ready to go.
Putting
The Latest & Greatest MacOS On a USB Stick
I should get the con out of the way first before getting into the pros. While making a macOS installer is undoubtedly a great time-saver if you have lots of Macs to work on, there is a downside.
Since operating systems are continually updated to
stay on top of security issues, whatever version of the operating system you
end up putting on the USB stick will inevitably become invalid very soon. So
you will have to keep on top of security updates on a regular basis and make
sure you also update the OS version on your stick using the method I am about
to outline.
To make this, you will need access to a Mac computer and a good Internet connection, as well as a USB stick with at least 8GB on it. Make sure you have backups of everything on the stick because the stick will be wiped when it is formatted by Disk Creator.
How
To Create a MacOS Installer Using Disk Creator
At the time of writing, the current macOS is Mojave. So the first thing you need to do is go to the Mac App Store on an Internet-connected Mac and download the operating system.
This can be done simply by clicking the “Get” button.
It will ask you if you are sure you want to download
it (probably because you already have it downloaded). Click “Yes” (you may have
to sign in using your administrator ID) then it will begin.
Depending on the speed of your Internet connection,
reckon on between 5-10 minutes to download the full file. When it is done, you
will find it in the Applications folder.
Next, unzip and open up Disk Creator. No installation is necessary. Therefore you will immediately see this.
First, choose what the installer will be. In this
case, it is “USB” (obviously make sure the blank USB stick is in the computer
first for it to show up in this menu).
Now click “Choose a macOS Installer”. This will open up a window on your computer. Navigate to the Mojave file in the Applications folder and choose it.
Finally, click “Create Installer” and let it do its
work. You will be asked to log in with your administrator password to authorize
it.
It will take around 10 minutes for the USB stick to be
properly formatted and the installer to be ready to go.
But when it is finished, you will see this small
window which tells you how to use it.
Making
The USB Installer Using The Terminal
Since Disk Creator is free and easy to use, there is no reason not to use it. But some people are just a bit edgy using software that comes from third-party developers. If this describes you, you can still make a USB installer using the Terminal, instead of Disk Creator.
Download Mojave as usual and have your blank USB stick
inserted and ready. Then in Terminal, type the following :
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ install macOS
mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia – volume /Volumes/Untitled –
applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ install macOS mojave.app
--nointeraction &&say Done
Enter your password when prompted and wait for it to say “Done” in Terminal before you remove the USB drive. Enjoy!
