How to Create a Bootable Install USB Drive of Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks using Diskmaker X

By -


Getting Mac OS on a DVD on Bluray disk is almost impossible. Today I will show you how you can install the Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or older versions using Diskmaker X, a utility that lets your convert your flash drive into a boot-able device.


Step 1: Download & Install DiskMaker X: download link
Step 2: Install DiskMaker X to your Applications folder. Also, make sure you already have the OS X Mavericks file there, too, and a properly formatted USB drive before continuing.
Step 3: Now open up DiskMaker X and choose Mavericks (10.9). It will find the installer file in your Applications folder. Select Use this copy, choose the USB thumb drive option (if that's what you're using), select the partition you want to erase (e.g. Untitled), and hit Erase then create the disk.


Then, enter your admin password and wait. Once it's done, you should see a notice saying your OS X boot disk is ready.

Using Your New Boot-able USB Drive
To use your boot-able Mavericks USB drive, simply plug in the drive to your Mac of choice and restart (or turn on) the computer while holding down the Option (Alt) key on your keyboard.
When the gray screen comes up, select "Install OS X Mavericks."
From there, you can choose to upgrade your current OS to Mavericks, or you can perform a clean install by erasing your main hard drive in Disk Utility, and then choosing "Install a new copy of OS X" instead.

If you got the steps right, you should have your Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks installed

Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers. Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly. Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach. Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook. This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored content
