Now we have to wait for the process to finish and if it takes a little quiet, it is normal.

We start DiskMaker and click on the option install OS X Yosemite that we have previously downloaded to our Mac (in the applications folder) then it will ask us for the administrator password, we enter it and click on continue. This USB / SD will be permanently erased so it better be empty to avoid problems later. Now we connect to the Mac the USB or SD card of 8 GB or more to continue with the installation. Now we can create our installer in a very simple way by following the following steps. The current DiskMaker version is the one used for the Yosemite betas but it works the same for this final version. Once we have DiskMaker saved on the Mac and the download of OS X Yosemite 10.10 we can start the process.

While it is true that there are different ways to carry out this task we are going to use DiskMaker to perform the clean install of the new OS X Yosemite. Well, once the steps prior to the installation have been carried out, the next thing to do is to start downloading DiskMaker and once we have it on the Mac we leave it in the downloads folder and continue with OS X Yosemite 10.10. The backup is always positive to do it in updates or clean installations. While it is true that updates can be done without formatting the Mac and absolutely nothing happens, some users prefer to carry out a clean installation of the new OS X and this is what we are going to see in this small tutorial.Īpple makes it easy with the installer to carry out the installation of OS X, but if we want to perform a clean installation of OS X we have to be clear that everything we have on the Mac is going to be eliminated and therefore it is very important to carry out a backup of all our important documents and data, so as not to lose anything (it is best to follow a protocol before, watch this tutorial). When OS X Mavericks was released we conducted a tutorial to perform the installation of the operating system from scratch and for OS X Yosemite it will not be less.
