This guide deals with 3 ways of making a boot disk from OSX 10.9 Mavericks the first one is the fastest and is done via the Terminal from a new command already in OSX Mavericks called createinstallmedia , the other 2 are older ways when Mavericks was in development and are done with a mixture of finder using Disk Utility and command line.

Quickest Way

Os X Dmg Terminal Permission Denied On Mac

• Feb 24, 2015  I am trying to make a new image with the disk utility and if I try to create a new image or convert an existing dmg I keep getting permission denied. Any help would be great. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways. When the OS X Utilities screen appears.
• I am trying to make a new image with the disk utility and if I try to create a new image or convert an existing dmg I keep getting permission denied. Any help would be great. Already tried using the repair permissions on the disk.
• The Terminal application allows you to use octal notation to set permissions for the owner, a group, and everyone else. To create a “write only” drop box folder, you could set directory permissions to 622 to give the owner read and write permissions, and the group and everyone else write only permissions. Mac OS X automatically sets.
• For no known reason I suddenly have to execute most terminal commands using sudo. For example, I have always been able to run 'git pull/push' etc. Without any trouble. Now, I get 'permission denied'. Is there any way of resetting the permissions to default? I'm using OS X Yosemite.
• Convert DMG to ISO options. When trying to convert a DMG to a ISO or CDR file for MacOS X, we have two options available. The first one is by using just Disk Utility, a preferred method if you don’t like working with Terminal. The second method is by using the command line by using Terminal.

If you still get a “Permission Denied” error, or are unable to use “sudo,” you may not have permission to do so labeled on your OS X account. Understanding OS X Commands The terminal window can be overwhelming the first couple times you use it — Unix commands are not always what you would expect, and different from commands you may be familiar with if you ever used Window’s command line prompt.

Download Mac OSX 10.9Mavericks but don’t install.

Attach your USB stick/drive.

Launch the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities and enter the command below and then your password when prompted, be sure to change the ‘Untitled‘ name in the below command to your external disk name:

Let it do its thing and there you have it, one bootable Mac OSX 9 drive.

This really is a super simple way – however if using the Terminal fills you with fear and dread, there are some GUI apps that can get the job done namely DiskMakerX and a new imaging tool that can clone a new disk very quickly – AutoDMG.

Alternative Ways of building a Bootable Mavericks OSX Disk.

To make a boot disk of OSX 10.9 Mavericks, first of all get the app or download via the App store, if downloaded it will file in the folder Applications.

Control / Left click Options, Show in Finder to get to the app, don’t install at this stage.

Located in the Applications Folder

Finding the InstallESD.dmg

To find the actual InstallESD.dmg file, control/left click the ‘Install OS X Mavericks’ app and choose show contents – then navigate to Shared Support folder.

Control/Right click to show contents

Navigate to Shared Support folder to see the InstallESD.dmg file

Mount InstallESD.dmg

Double click to mount the image.

Make Invisible Files Visible

We need to see the BaseSystem.dmg inside the InstallESD.dmg

Crank open Terminal and run:

This will show all invisible files have a look inside the mounted InstallESD.dmg

Mount an External Disk

Attach a USB/external drive – this guide uses the external drive name calledBootDisk, you need to make sure the format is correct, it needs to be Mac OSX Extended Journaled – it its not you can format that in Disk Utility.

Launch Disk Utility

Launch Disk Utility as found in Applications/Utilities and go to the Restore tab.

Drag BaseSystem.dmg to the Source field and your external disk to the Destination and click Restore.

This will mount your new OSX 10.9 external disk and name it OSX Base System – but we need to add the packages.

Fix the Packages

Couple of things to fix in the newly created boot disk, remove the Packagealias at System/Installation/ folder

Now from the previously mounted InstallESD.dmg copy over the Packages folder to the same location where we just removed the alias above.

Will take a while as it holds all the install packages.

Job done now you can boot from the OSX 10.9 disk.

Make the Visible back to Invisible

If you want all to return back to normal and hide the system files run a couple more commands in the Terminal

How to create the OSX 10.9 Mavericks Bootable Drive just via Terminal

Just for the crazy ones……after Mavericks is downloaded….and again this assumes you external disk is named BootDisk

Mount the InstallESD.dmg buried deep in the app

Swap to the newly mounted image

This puts you back in the Finder in front of the newly mounted InstallESD.dmg, go back to Terminal and clone the BaseSystem.dmg to the remote USB drive

This will change ‘BootDisk‘ to ‘OS X Base System‘

Remove the existing Packages alias link from the newly restored image
