Make sure the El Capitan installer (or at least a copy of it), called Install OS X El Capitan.app, is in its default location in your main Applications folder (/Applications). Select the text of. I downloaded El Capitan from the 'App Store' and then used 'DiskMaker X 5' to make a bootable usb. Restarted my laptop and booted from USB, and onto the El Capitan installation. From there I formatted the new SSD (MacOS Extended (Journaled) with a single GUID partition). Once downloaded, I was prompted to install El Capitan, I clicked yes, and it installed. Note: For detailed instructions on installing OS X to a new drive, click HERE. In this example’s instructions, a newer Mac was used, and it would and did call “Home” for the latest available OS which was then downloaded and installed. 1) First of all, open Disk Utility on a Mac. 2) Then, select the SSD disk icon and move to the Erase tab. 3) Pick a name and decide on the preferred format or leave the default values – OS X Extended (Journaled) and Partition map. 4) Visit the AppStore to download OS X El Capitan package for installation.
I am using Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13' with 128GB SSD. The latest installed version of OS X was El Capitan which crashed during a Sierra upgrade.
Internet recovery mode worked somehow to land me to install download and install a new OS but it's Mountain Lion, which came installed when I bought the Macbook few years back However, it's rejecting to install on current SSD drive as shown in pic.
I have another 320GB HDD, so is this the only way to reinstall? First I do a fresh install of Lion on the external HDD? What I should I do?
What is a step by step procedure as all I want to do is run OSX on SSD drive but keeping all my older data. I can not afford to wipe it.
However, I did back up some of its backup onto my PC. If I install Lion the HDD can I then download Sierra and create an install disk to update/fix/install corrupted OS X on SSD?
I have a Macbook Pro Medio 2012, 15 Inch Non Retina.
It was running on a normal 750G HDD, but i wanted an upgrade, so i bought the Samsung V-Nand 850 EVO SSD 1TB.
I created a Bootable El-Capitan USB Stick, so i could do a clean install.
After i swapped the HDD with the Samsung SSD, i plugged in my Bootable USB stick and turned on my macbook.
First it shows the apple logo with a loading line.
after that i gives me a 'stop sign'. A circle with a line running through it.
I also tried pressing the Command button while it starts up, but that didn't work.
