In the section on the question You need to put a new one HDD from OSX to macbook specified by the author Masterjke the best answer is Hello,
Installing Mac OS X is difficult.
In fact, it’s no more difficult than installing Windows XP; I think it’s even easier if you choose the right kexts and fixes. There are 2 options:
- Windows bootloader + chain0
- Acronis OS Selector
If on the same physical disk where you are going to install Mac OS, there are partitions in NTFS format, then it is better to convert them to FAT32 (We work with a hard drive without a pre-installed OS), because when creating a new partition, an error may occur and the FS will become unreadable, but there is another, more easy way- transfer your data to another physical disk or flash drive.
Next you need to download the installation disk image.
After selecting versions of OS X If the downloaded file is in ISO format, then you can easily burn it to disk, and if it is in DMG format, you will also have to download the DMG2ISO application (download DMG2ISO (12.29 Kb)) and convert the downloaded file into an ISO image.
You will need a DVD-R or DVD+R disc. You can write through third-party programs. After burning a disc with Windows, several documents of about 150 KB in size will be “visible” on the disk, or maybe nothing will be “visible” at all, this is how it should be.
Insert the disc you freshly burned into the drive and restart the computer. When the message about starting installation from disk appears on the monitor, press F8 or wait a few seconds and enter the “-v” parameter (without quotes). If you press any other key or continue the installation without this action, then the graphic mode will turn on instead of the text mode - this is beautiful, but you can only find out about errors in the text mode.
There are two most common mistakes:
“system config file ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ not found” - there is a problem with the Mac OS X distribution (you will have to download another one)
"Still waiting for root device" - most likely there is a problem with the hardware, perhaps some kind of incompatibility.
If the initial boot went without problems, then a blue display (not BSOD) with a wait cursor will open in front of you. Next you will be asked to select a language. Choose Russian (or English, if not). Click on the arrow, after which a menu will appear at the top, select Utilities -> Disk Utility and format the partition in which you are going to install Mac OS X in the Mac OS Extended journaled format.
Sometimes it happens that Disk Utility cannot format this partition in HFS or mount it, then this can be fixed with Acronis. To do this, select the manual mode for changing partitions in Acronis Disk Director Suite and create a partition in FAT32 format. Next, in its context menu, select the item to change the partition type and set the value to 0xAFh (Shag OS Swap). Acronis, of course, will complain that all the data on this partition may be lost and become unreadable, but we have nothing there anyway. 🙂 Apply the changes and reboot.
After the disk has been successfully formatted, click Continue, read and accept the license agreement, and select the partition you prepared for installation. Next, click Continue. Next, click Settings (Customize) and select the components that you need to install. Particular attention to patches and kexts: you need to install only those patches that are necessary specifically for your system, and nothing unnecessary. Do not install patches for SSE2 and SSE3 at the same time! Install only the one that matches your processor. Click Continue. Then the installation will be prepared and the disk will be checked. The installation will complete by restarting the computer.

Sooner or later the day comes when you need to reinstall the Mac OS operating system on your MacBook PC. This task is no more difficult than reinstalling Windows. This is what we will talk about.
operating system on MacBook
Reasons for reinstallation operating system MacOS on a Mac computer are:
- Damage or wear of the built-in storage device (HDD);
- selling or donating a MacBook to another person;
- “moving” to another MacBook (a newer model, but maintaining the previous version of the MacOS system);
- transferring data to Apple gadgets or to another computer.
What happens when reinstalling MacOS:
- “from scratch”, including formatting the built-in disk;
- reinstallation “on top”, preserving personal data and applications (macOS update).
For example, using the MacAppStore, you can upgrade your version of OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion to a newer version - OS X Mavericks.
Here are the steps to follow when selling or transferring your Mac to someone else. It deserves special mention.
- Backup personal data from a MacBook to a separate storage device or cloud service.
- Disabling special services and functionality that manage data copying and transfer.
- Erase all personal information from the disk.
Attention! Before you start reinstalling MacOS on your MacBook PC, take the trouble to save all your data on an external drive! This will be discussed first.
Backing Up Data Using Time Machine
The Time Machine application is designed to backup personal files from a MacBook and restore them back to it. But it requires external USB drives (HDD, SDD drives) formatted in MacOS Extended or Xsan - FAT/NTFS file systems designed for Windows and Android are not supported. If the disk was previously formatted in FAT/NTFS formats, the MacBook will not accept it if you refuse to reformat it “for yourself.”
The Time Machine application is launched from the MacOS system preferences in the Apple menu. When you connect an external hard drive, a corresponding notification will appear.
Do you really want to destroy all data recorded on this drive in a different format?
If the external drive has already been formatted, the Time Machine application will give the go-ahead for its use. Confirm your request.
Do you really want to copy your data to this drive?
If Time Machine does not show disk selection, do the following.
Interestingly, backups in the Time Machine program are fully automated - the backup copy is “refreshed” hourly, and their storage is organized, so you won’t get lost in them. In addition, copying is also possible to an Apple server (like iCloud) and in storage local network, supporting Apple File Protocol. All this often helps, if you need to reinstall MacOS, to avoid losing precious working time.
After copying all your data, you can start reinstalling MacOS.
Reinstalling MacOS on Mac
There are several ways to reinstall the MacOS operating system on a MacBook: a “clean” installation from a flash drive, installation “over” a previous version (updating from MacAppStore) and restoring MacOS from a backup.
How to reinstall Mac OS from an installation flash drive
The preliminary steps are as follows.
- Download the Mac OS X installation image from the Mac App Store or third-party sites.
- Once the download is complete, right-click on the downloaded file and select “Show package contents.”
- Go to the /Contents/SharedSupport/ folder, copy the InstallESD.dmg file to a safe location on your disk, and mount it to your MacOS desktop.
We will need the Disk Utility application included with MacOS. The next steps are as follows.
- Launch MacOS Utilities and select Disk Utility.
Select MacOS Disk Utility
- Insert the USB flash drive that is intended to be installed.
- Launch the “Our media” component (the name of the flash drive will appear in the title) - the “Partition the disk” tab will open.
Give the drive a name that makes it easy to find
- Select the partition layout and under the Options button, check “GUID Partition Scheme.”
Click OK button
- Open the "Recover" tab. Make the MacOS image the source, and the flash drive the “destination”, and click on the “Restore” button.
Specify what and where to copy
Disk Utility will create an installation flash drive automatically, and it does this operation quite reliably. When copying is complete, Disk Utility will notify you.
Congratulations! The MacOS installation flash drive has been created! You can restart your MacBook. Preparing to install MacOS is as follows.
All! MacOS installation has started. The MacOS operating system will install automatically - this will take 30-100 minutes, depending on the performance of your MacBook. After it, your PC will be immediately ready for use.
How to install the system without formatting the internal drive
Installing MacOS without erasing the disk means downloading and installing MacOS updates directly from the MacAppStore. An installation flash drive is not needed here. This is reminiscent of updating iOS on smartphones and tablets over the air. This method is good for those who once bought a MacBook - and are not going to change it, but, on the contrary, will work on it for many years, because MacBook computers, like Apple iDevice gadgets, are very high quality, reliable and convenient.
Before updating, check if your MacBook meets the hardware requirements new version MacOS - otherwise it will slow down.
Not every previous version of MacOS can be updated to the desired version. So, if your MacBook is running macOS Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and your MacBook will run macOS Sierra, first upgrade to macOS X El Capitan.
The version of MacOS Sierra is taken as an example. Other copies are searched for and “installed” in exactly the same way. Your actions are as follows.
If you have OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 (or more recent), the macOS Sierra version downloads silently. You will then be prompted to install this version.
Click on the install button
During the installation of MacOS, the PC restarts several times. If this version does not suit you (the performance of the MacBook has dropped), “roll back” to the previous one (for example, OS X El Capitan), with which the PC performance was very satisfactory.
Restoring MacOS from a backup
For example, we take a “rollback” from MacOS Sierra (10.12) back to OS X El Capitan (10.11) or OS X Yosemite (10.10). Let's say there are backups made in the Time Machine application before installing MacOS Sierra.
Important! You can only restore a MacOS system from a backup to the same MacBook. Trying to transfer your copy of the MacOS system with data to another PC in this way is useless. Use other methods.
- Connect your external drive to your MacBook and save your existing files to Time Machine, naming the new copy MacOS Sierra.
- Open your previous copy of OS X Yosemite with Time Machine on a different drive after connecting it to your MacBook.
- Restart your MacBook while holding Command+R on your keyboard. The familiar MacOS recovery menu will open.
- From the OS X Utilities menu, select Restore from Time Machine Backup.
- Once in the “Recover from Time Machine” recovery window, click on “Continue”, and then specify the source - the disk with the OS X El Capitan “backup”.
- The saved copy should be: In the case of OS X El Capitan, the MacOS version should be 10.11.x. Click the Continue button. Specify the installation disk to restore from a copy, click on “Restore”.
Ready! The OS X El Capitan version will be reinstalled.
Transferring a copy of the operating system and your data to another MacBook
Go to Programs/Utilities and open Migration Assistant. The structure of your files and folders will be preserved.
Click to continue
When running, the application requires closing all other running programs.
If both computers are working, but you still want to duplicate your version of MacOS and all data on the second computer, connect the computers to each other using a LAN cable, wirelessly Wi-Fi networks. Connecting directly using a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable will require running your previous Mac in backup mode, which will make the Assistant experience a little more complicated. However, both methods work clearly. You can connect an external disk with a backup copy to the new PC instead of the previous PC - in this case, the operation of the Assistant on the new PC will not change significantly.
So, the procedure is as follows. As an example, we take the normal operating mode of a previous PC with “Assistant”.
All! The copy session has started. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the amount of data and the performance of both Macs.
Problems encountered when reinstalling MacOS
Problems when updating or “rolling back” may be as follows.
- No recent backups. You once disabled backup yourself. Copy your files now to avoid losing them by starting the process manually. Enable backup.
- An error occurred during the next backup or when restoring personal data from a previous copy. The external drive that was previously recorded is unsuitable for further use. Contact an Apple service center or certified computer repair shop to restore your data. This procedure is not free.
- Error during the next MacOS update. Your Mac PC may no longer be supported. This happens once every few years. You will continue to use the current version of MacOS until you replace your Apple PC.
- The computer began to work noticeably slower than before the update. Minimum system requirements next new version equal or exceeded specifications your PC. “Roll back” to any previous version of MacOS. Typically, Apple tries to prevent this from happening - it simply stops supporting older computers, just as it is no longer possible to install iOS 10.x on iPhone 4x devices.
- After several active years, your PC suddenly began to freeze despite the fact that you did not update MacOS. Maybe it's time to replace the internal HDD/SSD drive? Try to back up your important data before replacing the internal drive - while something is still being read from it.
- It is impossible to “roll back” to one of the previously installed versions of MacOS. The “rollback” must be done gradually. If there are no previous backups, download a new “image” and “rollback” first to this version, and then repeat the “rollback” to an even higher one earlier version MacOS.

Reinstalling MacOS - “on top” or “from scratch” - is not difficult. It is only important to secure your data. This is a real way to extend the life of your beloved MacBook for another number of years. You will succeed!
With its own pre-installed operating system Mac OS. Like all the company's products, it claims to be of exclusive quality and the use of advanced technologies. The following varieties are currently on sale:
- MacBook;
- MacBook Air;
- MacBook Pro.
Find out how to update your Mac's OS in the article below.
MacBook Pro is available in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes and in different specifications. All Mac models are equipped with Intel processors, the battery life without recharging is up to 10 or up to 12 hours.
The newest operating system currently used on Mac computers is Mac OS Sierra. Older versions of the OS can be updated for free via the Internet. The company's main advantage of the system is that it was created specifically for Mac equipment. Unlike Windows, which is installed on computers from a variety of manufacturers. By the way, now MacBook Pro and other models support the ability to install Windows.
MacBook Pro and others are sold with the system already installed. However, in some cases, you may need to install or reinstall Mac OS on your MacBook. It is necessary to distinguish between the terms:
- The installation is otherwise called a “clean” installation, which is performed on a blank (formatted) hard drive or on a new one.
- Reinstallation is when a new system is installed over the old one without full formatting and preserving user data.
The need to install and reinstall the Mac OS arises when there are serious problems with its operation or an unsuccessful update. Like Windows, it still leaves behind garbage, which over time leads to slowdowns, freezes and other troubles. We will consider these processes using the example of the latest operating system, namely Mac OS Sierra. For previous versions, for example Mac OS X, there will be essentially no differences, but it is still recommended to upgrade to latest version, if your device supports it.
Operating system installation
A clean installation may be necessary if you decide to sell your laptop and need to permanently remove all data and Apple ID from it, or if there is a serious system problem. The installation algorithm on a MakBook Pro looks like this:
- Data backup.
- Creating a bootable USB flash drive.
- System installation.
To back up your data, use external storage and the Time Machine program, which automatically launches when you connect a removable storage device. The utility will ask whether to use an external drive for backup, click “Use.” as a backup drive."
After the backup is complete, you need to do bootable USB flash drive using disk utility:
The MacBook Pro itself will find the desired image on the flash drive and begin installing the Mac operating system. You just need to follow the instructions on the screen.
Reinstalling the operating system
You can reinstall the system from the OS recovery menu on Mac OS, which is called up by a key combination during boot:
- Command+R - reinstalls the latest version of the OS installed on the Mac, without updating to the latest.
- Option+Command+R - update to the latest compatible Mac OS.
- Shift+Option+Command+R - if macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or a newer version is already installed on your Mac, then pressing the combination will allow you to reinstall the OS that came with your Mac laptop.
After pressing these key combinations, a menu will appear in which you need to select “Reinstall Mac OS”. Next, do the following:
- When the name Mac OS Sierra is displayed, click Next.
- Select the drive on which you will install the system (usually called Macintosh HD).
- The system reinstallation will begin, after which the Mac laptop will boot as usual.
All data, including passwords and Apple IDs, will be saved, as well as user data. But still create a backup copy before reinstalling, just in case. Reinstallation is also sometimes called recovery, as it often helps solve performance and performance problems. If the problems have not been corrected, then you can already try installing a system with formatting the boot disk on your MacBook, not forgetting to copy all the data to an external drive, because after this procedure they will all be deleted.
Upgrading from OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite is easy with built-in tools. Like or iMac after repair and replacing hard disk, or complete cleaning. You can install the OS X Yosemite operating system on a blank disk according to the instructions.
1. Download the OS X Yosemite image from the Mac App Store. After downloading, refuse the update.
2. Make a bootable OS X Yosemite disk for Mac. If you don’t know how, then read the instructions: .
3. Insert a bootable USB flash drive and restart your Mac while holding down the Option (ALT) button.
4. When you turn on your computer, select from the boot menu "Mac OS X Installer".
5. Open Disk Utility and specify the hard drive that you will format before installation. Open the tab Erase, in the Format menu in the drop-down list, find Mac OS Extended (Journaled), specify the disk name.
6. Click the button Erase to start formatting the drive.
7. After formatting is complete, close Disk Utility and select from the top menu "Install Mac OS X".
8. Specify a formatted drive and install OS X Yosemite.
There is no further action to take, wait until OS X Yosemite installs on your Mac. You can restore a user profile with documents from a Time Machine backup or configure OS X from scratch.
