It can be quite easy making an update to the OSX 10.10 Yosemite from the Mac App store for one computer, but when it comes to making updates for several Macs, or even doing a fresh install, you might find it really stressful having to make those updates separately. One way to save yourself the hassle is grabbing the Mac update on a USB thumb drive and installing the update using same drive on all your Macs.

It is important to note that running the Yosemite update on your Mac before following the below procedures would erase the installer from your Applications folder. So it is necessary you firstly perform this tutorial using any of the below methods, unless you wish to download a fresh copy of the update again from the app store. Let’s move on to the tutorial.

Things You’ll Need

• A Mac
• An 8GB USB Flash Drive or larger where you would be burning the OSX Yosemite copy to.
• The OS X 10.10 Yosemite installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder
• An Administrator account on your Mac

Method 1: Using DiskMaker X

Using Diskmaker X is the easiest way to burn or make a bootable USB Flash drive. Here is how to go about it.

1. You need to download the Yosemite installer as stated above from the Mac App Store and DiskMaker X .

2. Insert your 8GB (or larger) flash drive into your MAC. Make sure you must have backed up all important stuff, as you will loose them in this process from the flash drive.

3. Launch DiskMaker X. The app will offer to make installers for OS X 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10. Since we wish to install Yosemite, you will have to select 10.10 and let DiskMaker X handle the rest. DiskMaker X would find the Yosemite Installer and have it installed on your thumb drive. If it doesn’t find it, you can click on “Select an Install File” so you can easily navigate to the installer.

After the whole process must have been completed, you can now use this flash drive to install OSX Yosemite to any MAC. It’s actually that simple.

Method 2: Using Terminal

If for some reasons you couldn’t get DiskMaker X working for you, you might want to follow this geeky steps using Terminal to achieve same result.

1. Firstly Download the Yosemite installer.

2. Insert your 8GB (or larger) flash drive (make sure you assign a name to it – I’ll be using Untitled as my drive name for this tutorial). Make sure you format your USB flash drive in OS X Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility.

3. Launch the Terminal application on your MAC. Then type (or copy and paste) the following command into your Terminal window. Make sure you replace Untitled with the name of your drive. Then hit Enter on your keyboard.

sudo /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app --nointeraction

4. Now you would be prompted to type in your password, then press Enter again.

Allow terminal to complete the process (this could take close to half an hour). You can take out your USB Flash when you get the Done prompt. After it’s done, you should be able to use your USB Flash drive as a bootable disk to install OSX 10.10 Yosemite on any MAC computer.

Note: The Bootable USB Flash drive would not only be used to install Yosemite on Mac computers, but would also have utilities like Disk Utility and Time Machine recovery.

While this may be a convenient way to upgrade your Mac, it doesn’t leave you with a fallback solution as there is no bootable USB for you to do a clean install (in case your Mac gets corrupted).

Keep the Installer From Being Deleted Automatically

Similar to previous OS X versions, when you download Yosemite from the Mac App Store, it’ll automatically be downloaded to your Applications folder. And if you leave it there, the installer will delete itself after Yosemite finishes installing on your Mac.

Mac app store for developer. So, if you plan to use the same installer file on different Macs in the future, or as in this case, you plan on creating a bootable drive, be sure to copy the installer to another location, such as an external drive, before you install Yosemite.

Now there are two different methods to create a bootable USB drive for Yosemite. You can either use a simple graphical interface, or you can use OS X’s built-in Terminal utility. We’ve described both methods below.

Before you get started, make sure you have the following stuff with you:

• An 8GB or larger USB drive or external hard drive (this can be a partition on a larger drive as well)
• The OS X Yosemite installer – this should be ideally placed inside your Applications folder.
• DiskMaker X for your Mac – you can download it from here

Using Diskmaker

1. Once you have Diskmaker downloaded, connect your USB to your Mac and open up DiskMaker X.

2. You’ll be presented with options to make installers for either OS X 10.8, 10.9 or 10.10. Click on OS X Yosemite (10.10).

3. Diskmaker should automatically search your system for the OS X 10.10 Installer and should present the file with its location to you. If this is the right installer, click on “Use this copy.”

If it doesn’t detect the installer, click on “Use Another Copy” to navigate to the installer you want to use. Once located, click on Done.

4. Diskmaker will then ask you to select the drive you want to use as a Yosemite bootable drive. Once you select it, it will proceed to format the drive/partition and create a bootable disk. Depending on your Mac and USB type, this process can take from two to thirty minutes. It took around sixteen minutes to create a bootable disk on my USB 2.0 drive on my iMac (Mid-2012).

Once DiskMaker is finished, you’ll have a bootable Yosemite installation drive.

And that’s it! You can now use this bootable drive to easily install Yosemite onto multiple computers, or you can use it as a recovery drive for use in the future.

Using Terminal

If the above method didn’t work for you for some reason, you can easily create a bootable USB using Terminal. Here’s how:

1. Connect your USB to your Mac, and open Disk Utility on your Mac.

2. Select the drive from the left-hand pane and click on the Erase tab.

Note: This step will erase all data on the USB/drive, so be sure to backup any valuable data you have on your drive.

3. Select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” from the Format menu, enter “Untitled” in the Name field and click on “Erase”.

4. Make sure your Yosemite install file is located in the main Applications folder (/Applications) before proceeding.

Open Terminal on your OS X system using Spotlight or by navigating to “Applications -> Utilities.”
