Anyone got a disc for Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra? Neighbor has a MacBook Air. Won’t boot. Needs drive wiped and reinstalled. She doesn’t have any discs. Email in profile. Thx — Pissed off beats scared every time… - Frank Castle | ||

Will it boot to recovery mode? You can repair or reinstall the OS from recovery mode. Apple makes it difficult to screw up the recovery partition, if reinstalling from physical media would work, reinstalling from recovery mode should work. https://www.macworld.com/artic...c-recovery-mode.html | |||

Try here: https://archive.org/details/in...-high-sierra-10.13.1 or this one: https://archive.org/details/MacOSXHighSierra10.13 I have used this website for other versions (mostly older MACs). PC | |||

You can download the .dmg image directly from Apple. https://support.apple.com/kb/D...e=en_US&locale=en_US Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

I have these on a thumb drive but it won’t see to boot from. I’ll try the file at the link and burn to a disc and see what happens. Thanks! — Pissed off beats scared every time… - Frank Castle | |||

Think it’s too old and does not have the recovery partition.I can option boot to the tools. I had to format the internal to fix the file issues. — Pissed off beats scared every time… - Frank Castle | |||

You need to make a bootable disk. A USB drive won’t be bootable simply because you copied the dmg to it. From the terminal: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume The bigger question is why not just boot to internet recovery mode using Command + Option + Shift + R (to install the original OS), or Command + Option + R to install the last OS the computer supports? It takes awhile to boot from the internet, but it will allow an OS restore even if the local recovery partition is corrupt. It’s still faster to go this route then it is to create bootable media locally. Unless the computer cannot access the internet for some reason. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||
