Apple released the new Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in the Mac App Store for everyone to download and install for free on October 16th, 2014, but downloading a 5+ GB file for each of your computers will take some serious time. The best thing to do is download it once and create a bootable install USB drive from the file for all of your Macs. Maybe you’ve decided to install Windows 8.1 on Mac without Boot Camp; or maybe your PC is unbootable and you want to prepare a bootable USB using the ISO file that you have on your external hard drive; or you want to easily create bootable Windows 8.1 USB without installing new tools.

Here are the 5 most useful Linux distributions for installing on a USB drive. There are a few ways to get a create live USB sticks that will boot on your Mac. You can go the freeware route for an easy option, or put a little bit of time into creating the drive yourself using Terminal. Today we’ll cover both these methods! First: Prepare Your USB Drive Make sure you choose the right USB drive for the job, and that it’s formatted correctly to avoid any problems. Some Linux variants may require larger volumes, so pay attention to the requirements when downloading. Others don’t have any strict requirements, but formatting to FAT beforehand is a good idea: Warning: Everything on your drive will be erased if you do this! • Insert your USB drive into your Mac and launch Disk Utility (under Applications > Utilities, or Today we're going to share our favourite good Mac habits, while desperately trying to forget the bad ones.).

• Select your USB device in the menu on the left, then click Erase. • Give it a name (or not) and choose MS-DOS (FAT) under “Format” and GUID Partition Map under “Scheme.” • Hit Erase to apply the changes. If it fails, try again — sometimes the system doesn’t unmount the volume in time and the process will be unable to complete. Generally speaking anything above 4GB will do the job (I used an 8GB Lexar for this tutorial).

If you have persistent problems, try another USB drive. Method 1: Create a Live USB Using Etcher (Easy) is a free open source tool for burning disc images onto USB and SD drives.

It’s a relatively recent addition to the When most people think open source, they think Linux. But Mac OS X has its share of quality open source programs as well — and a bunch of them aren't available for Linux or Windows., and it makes creating bootable devices completely foolproof: • Grab your desired Linux image, then and install it. • Insert your USB stick, then launch Etcher. • Click Select image and find the Linux image you downloaded — Etcher supports.IMG,.ISO and.ZIP among others. • Ensure the correct USB device is selected — hit Change to see a list of connected devices.

Your bootable Linux USB drive is now ready, you can now skip to the Booting Your USB Drive section below. Method 2: Create a Live USB Using the Terminal (Moderate) If for some reason you don’t want to use Etcher (maybe you’re on an incompatible version of macOS), you can accomplish this task using the command line. This is possible using Terminal, your Mac’s built-in command line interface. While this method requires a little more thought and patience on your part, it’s actually pretty straightforward. You might even learn a thing or two, plus you’ll feel smart afterwards.

Assuming you’ve formatted your drive as per the instructions at the start of this tutorial, here’s how it works: 1. Convert Your.ISO Launch Terminal and take note of where your Linux disc image is stored in Finder. Convert your image (usually an.ISO) to an.IMG file using the hdiutil convert command: hdiutil convert /path/to/downloaded.iso -format UDRW -o /path/to/newimage Replace /path/to/downloaded.iso with the location of your own.ISO (you can drag and drop directly into the Terminal window if you want) and /path/to/newimage to wherever you want the new image file to be created. You’ll likely be able to identify the drive by its name, it’s format, and its size using a process of elimination. Take a note of the listing under the IDENTIFIER column, then unmount the drive using the following command: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX You’ll need to replace diskX with the corresponding number, e.g. Disk3 — if successful Terminal will report that the disk was unmounted. If you’re having trouble unmounting a drive, you can launch Disk Utility, right click on a drive, then choose Unmount (don’t eject the drive, though).
