You already know that Install OS X Mavericks.app is compressed. The createinstallmedia command is uncompressing the app contents the same as it would be from running the .app, that is the function of the installer app.

 

calling createinstallmedia, your instructions are --volume, --applicationpath and --nointeraction and can be whatever you tell it to be

Bugs, that command is creating the installer the same as if you ran the .app from desktop. It would be bootable from a mac or an efi boot like clover, osmosis or xpc. The command assumes the default locations, modify as needed.  

...or RevoBoot. In fact, it was RevoBoot that introduced this feature ;)

I don't know about the rest of you but I have the GM1 (13A598) installed and when I try to download the GM2 (13A603) from software update...all I get is a drop down message that says,

"OS X v10.9 is already installed on this computer. Use the Updates page
to install the 10.9 update or if you would like to download the full OS X
installer click Continue."

When I click continue...nothing happens...it won't download. Anybody else experience this? I'm signed into my App Store account and the updates page says nothing about updating the OS.

full instructions:

 

Your 8 GB GPT USB drive should be called Untitled and formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The installer should be called Install OS X Mavericks.app and should be in your Applications folder.

Run this in terminal and wait about 20 minutes:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction

You should see something like this:

Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 100%...
Copying installer files to disk...
Copy complete.
Making disk bootable...
Copying boot files...
Copy complete.
Done.

You can then boot up from the USB by holding down the option key, then install the GM from the USB.

This is probably going to be the same for the public release.

Note that this will also install a recovery partition.

hi
 
I had the same problem ( error (4) ), under SL or MV
 
I tried a billion solutions (remove all network .plist...) but nothing worked
 
but finally  I was able to manage to start downloading   ;)
 
I don't know if the 'Debug' menu is available by default in App Store application but if not, just open the Terminal and tape this:
 
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
 
then open App Store application and go to 'Debug' menu (from desktop menu bar) et then click on 'Clear Cookies' and 'Reset Application'
 
then open App Store, sign-in and then try to start downloading   ;)

GM v1    MD5: 279dca9e1c21de0c373cf2130184b789

 

GM v2    MD5: 19a73879bf7fff4070d18beed07016d9

@BugsB

That is for the GM v2  BaseSystem.dmg

 

GM 2 or known as Public Release

MD5 (Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg) = f222952400db8535c03697c3293e168e

@ rals2007

 

PS: those who have both, GM 13A598 AND GM2 13A603 on their HDD: would you please md5 or sfv the two basesystem.dmg files and share if they are the same, or not? Or at least share the md5 or sfv of the one you have on your HDD?

 

not about InstallESD.dmg

 

:)

i've to report, that for me, clicking the app result in clover not seeing the partition, i think the installer break the boot sector...

i'm trying to boot of a pen drive, if anyone knows a way to boot the installer directly from clover i'll be greatful :)

i have 10.9 GM installed over 10.8.5 and the FREE 10.9 installed on another partition of the same hdd...memory usage for kernel_task is fairly high on both, not sure if it's normal but, all else seems ok....as an aside ...when i open disk utility i get a delay as the app window pops open...

here's an example from activity monitor(nice new interface)

Do you have that one issue where you can't download OS X Mavericks and you get some message saying "OS X v10.9 is already installed on this computer. Use the Updates page to install the 10.9 update or if you would like to download the full OS X installer click Continue."

 

Thats easy to fix.

 

1. Open the App Store and leave it open.

2. Open terminal and type this: "sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist" without the quotes.

3. Where you see 10.9 strings, change it to "10.8". This will fool OS X into thinking you have Mountain Lion.

4. Save it by pressing ctrl+o but do not close the terminal window.

5. Go back to the App Store window and click on the Mavericks download button. It should work now.

6. Go back to the terminal window and change the 10.8 strings back to 10.9 strings and press ctrl+o to save. Exit terminal.

 

So yeah that's it.

hi  GR  ^_^

 

I already tried to do this before but it did not work for me (I say 'for me'  :)  )

 

I even tried to download it from 10.6.8 but I had the same message

 

:)


Guys, please... this is correct?:

"BaseSystem.dmg" SHA-1: "4f2cba5dec124b74ec53bf310528fca5b89503b0"

Thanks.
