After fighting with it a while, I plugged in a cheap mouse I had lying around and it moved on. After a while, it rebooted, took a while, and eventually gave me the 'trying to find bluetooth mouse' screen. I booted into it, reformatted my SSD (APFS, case sensitive) and let the installer go. Today I backed up all my data and attempted installing High Sierra from a flash drive I made (I've done this many times before) to my main system (late 09 iMac with beyond maxed out hardware*). I was wondering if anyone else had tried to create an install USB, and if they had the same issues with bluetooth keyboard/trackpad as me? I wonder if it is because I am using bluetooth 2.1 rather than the bluetooth 4.0 that is in new iMacs? It looks like the only time the computer forgot it's keyboard/trackpad (and would not find them) is if I use the USB install drive I created. When I rebooted into my external SSD thunderbolt drive with High Sierra, there was no issues recognizing the keyboard or trackpad.Īs an additional test, I then booted into recovery software (Command R upon powering up) and the keyboard/trackpad worked normally there. I didn't actually start the install process as this was just a test to see if I had correctly made the boot USB installer. The only way I was able to proceed with the install process was to hook up a generic USB wired keyboard and mouse.Īnyway, I thought it was odd, and have never had an installer forget my keyboard and trackpad before. The 2011 iMac was not able to find my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2AA version A1314) or my Magic Trackpad 1 (A1339.) Even trying to put the devices into pair mode (holding the power button until the green light flashed) didn't work. The USB booted, and then I ran into a problem. I then booted to the USB drive to check and make sure everything worked. This time I used the app Install Disk Creator: When I tried to make a bootable installer of High Sierra (with DiskMaker X).it failed.Ĭould give DiskMaker X a try.it makes the process very easy (hopefully with better luck than me).After installing High Sierra today, I made a Flash Drive USB install disk, like I normally have with all the previous macOS releases on my 2011 21.5" iMac. It has always worked great for me when making bootable installers (before High Sierra). It makes creating a bootable USB thumb drive VERY easy.
There's an app called DiskMaker X (free/30 day trial).

The 3rd or 4th procedure I tried (I think it was from Engadget).worked fine.Īlso be aware.if High Sierra has never been installed on a computer previously.a firmware update may be needed first. The first 2-3 procedures I tried didn't work (not sure if there was a typo in the statement in the procedure online or what). The unfortunate part is some of them don't work properly.Īll of them include the long statement you need to copy & paste into Terminal to create the bootable USB installer.
#MACDADDY INSTALL DISK CREATOR REVIEW HOW TO#
There are many DIY procedures on the internet how to do this (for High Sierra).all of them use the Terminal app as part of the procedure. The biggest hassle was creating the bootable USB thumb drive installer for High Sierra.

I recently did a clean install of High Sierra on a 2010 Mac Pro (brand new had no previous macOS installed).
