Please correct me if I am mistaken, but there seems to be one important distinction you fail to mention in either your description or the video. Following your instructions does NOT create "a Bootable MAC OS X El Capitan USB Flash Drive". Instead, following your instructions creates a Bootable USB Flash Drive MAC OS X El Capitan INSTALLER. In other words, once your instructions are applied to a flash drive the drive can then be used to install El Capitan, but that's the only thing you can do with the drive when you start from it. You cannot use it as you would a normal startup disk. You cannot run apps or save documents to it, etc. The flash drive is good for only one thing which is to _install_ El Capitan. It's an excellent video to make an El Capitan Installer, but does not show somebody how to make a flash drive into a startup drive. Am I mistaken?

I accidentally wiped out my old iMac 2015, I downloaded the El Capitan OS, but this machine is running Sonoma and will not allow me to extract the OS software to create a bootable disk. Would you happen to have any other suggestions on getting my hands on El capitan OS past the .dmg file, Is something already extracted?

Dear Sir, I hope you don't mind me contacting you after I saw your KZitem video about downloading El Capitan using a USB Flash Drive. At the moment I am using a macOS 10.6.8 which is quite old and is giving me so many problems as nothing seem to be compatible with this old version anymore. So, I wanted to install a copy of El capitan but the problem I have is that I don't seem to be able to use the App Store in order to download and install El Capitan and I think its all due to my macOS version. Even though I have an App Stored account ID and security questions set up I still seem to have problems every time when I click the button GET in the App Stored and it does not respond. But after watching your video I thought about asking a friend and using his Mac computer and a USB Flash Drive to download and install El Capitan. My question to you is this. Would I be able to install El Capitan into my macOS using his USB Flash Drive. If you can please be kind enough to share any advice for me on this matter I would be truly grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message. Kind Regards John e-mail: discosoulexplosion@yahoo.co.uk

Ok... I followed these steps down to a "T." Here is the issue I am running into while trying to complete the last step. Keep in mind this is the second video I have visited where it has lead me to the very last step and then I am prompted with this message. "Warning : Improper use of sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files, Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information." What am I doing wrong? I have spent the last few hours making sure that the copy link is correct and making sure that every single step has been properly completed.

I did everything you said and put startup USB in iMac that had its memory erased so previous owner could sell it. I bought it because it has one of those bad video cards in it that puts thick bands down the screen, but before I drop $500 on a new video card I would like to reinstall os to make sure computer is ok. it seems to load fine, but when it goes to restart it comes with "OS X could not be installed on your computer" then under that (although I cant read all of it because of bad video card) it says "volume contains an ?? llation which may be damaged, Quit installer ??? your computer again. the ?? are the part I cant read. Please help if you can, a local store told me the main board is probably bad and the machine is junk, but i can open utilities and see the system and do first aid on the disks. Thanks in advance for any heip. AL
