Bootable Yosemite USB/SD Card

Is recommended to install OS X Yosemite Beta on a secondary Mac. And be sure to back up your Mac using Time Machine before you install this beta.

1. Open Disk Utility to format the USB/SD Card. Plug the drive (min 8GB) and select it, then from the tab menu, chose Erase. Make sure the filesystem is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click Erase.

2. Open Terminal windows and type the following code (replace your username):

sudo /Users/NAME/Downloads/Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Users/NAME/Downloads/Yosemite.app --nointeraction

Enter the password to start the process. It may take a while. That’s all now you have a Yosemite Bootable Usb/SD Card.
