Split View: already present in Microsoft's Windows 7, it allows us to run two applications simultaneously on a full screen. Design: there aren't too many design changes regarding Yosemite except for a few typography modifications, switching from Helvetica to San Francisco. What's new in OS X El Capitan?Įvery new version of Apple's operating system comes along with changes and modifications regarding the previous edition, so these are the most important new features introduced this time around: Now they've turned to singular places in California such as Mavericks, Yosemite or Sierra, which is the name given to the new version 10.12 of the operating system. Its name refers to El Capitan, the iconic mountain located in the Yosemite National Park in California and has to do with the range of names chosen by the Cupertino-based company after exhausting all the options of large felines. It's version 10.11, the twelfth edition of OS X. MacOS El Capitan, the replacement of Yosemite, was announced during the WWDC of June of 2015. In other words, the operating system based on Unix and developed by Apple that's installed on its range of Macintosh laptop and desktop computers.
I am not sure if this is the proper way at all, as I was a bit lost after creating the bootable USB, but it all seemed to work so I wanted to share my steps.MacOS is the current name of the former OS X, previously known as Mac OS X. The computer reset itself once more, and when it loaded back up, I was able to install OS High Sierra. Then I was able to select the USB as my startup disk.
When it rebooted after this, it asked for my language again which was something I had not seen before.
Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time. Press and hold the ⌘ + Option + P + R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. Whenever I went to startup disks it was blank. However, even when I plugged the USB into my computer, I couldnt seem to select the USB as the startup disk. I thought it wasnt working when I ran this code because it took so long running in the terminal, but when I woke up this morning it had completed.
Replace MyVolume with the name of your properly formatted USB name. Sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/ MyVolume -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app You can use my code if you want to download High Sierra from a computer running El Capitan: Since I was only running El Capitan on my other Mac, you have to add in an extra few lines of code (See Asterisk on the apple page). I followed this link on Apple site to create the bootable USB. *Disclaimer* This was my first time working with Terminal, so if I can do it you can do it too! haha
