Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
hello there,
I've been trying to make a bootable backup of high sierra in order to do a clean install on my Macbook. I have read different websites ans all of them tell me to do it with Terminal. I've tried several times to put in the exact right command but it keeps coming back as : command not found
Help please....
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

if you want a bootable backup clone the drive using disk utility use macOS recovery

Have done this many times using below. Note: make sure the USB is formatted HFS+ with GUID and USB Named Untitled
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app --nointeraction
Okay
I used your second link and then another in that text.
I going to try to install directly with the Option-Command-R way.
Apparently I will install the latest version directly and I gives you the opportunity to do a new installation
Thanks
In the end it did not solve anything.
After a 3hr installation it stil had all my old settings, so still no "new" pc, no clean install.
And still no bootable disk.
Any one advise what goes wrong here??
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/HighSierraInstall
You write

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/HighSierraInstall
You are missing some instructions in your command syntax. Should be
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction &&say Done
create bootable usb backup
