Windows and Mac, they both are designed with different companies with a different file system. Because of their File system, it seems to us that we can’t create bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows. And the same goes for mac, where we are thinking we can’t create bootable USB for Windows 10 in mac. However, if you have used the Mac operating system, then you know that you can create bootable USB for Windows in mac with terminal and some other applications. But if you have used windows you will find out that you are not even able to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave using CMD or PowerShell. However, if we compare the Terminal and PowerShell, Terminal is built upon the Linux Codes and Infrastructure. but PowerShell is built by mixing all Unix, CMD, Scripts and other kinds of stuff. Jeffery Snover the founder of PowerShell said that anyone can work on PowerShell based on their platform. it means that if you are a Linux user you can use PowerShell, just like you are using the Linux terminal. This way PowerShell seems to be Powerful but yet no one has achieved to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows. I bet that for programmers it is not a hard thing but they are not interested in that. It is we, the basic users who wish to use a different operating system.

So, enough of talk and let’s dive into creating bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows with TransMac, I hope it will be helpful for you.

Mac Create Bootable Usb From Iso

Required Files:

• macOS Mojave Dmg File: In order to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave in windows 10, the first thing which is required is the macOS Mojave dmg File. If you have used a mac operating system, then you know that you can’t download macOS Mojave except for app store. I don’t know how, but programmers have decoded that from mac and uploaded the dmg file for windows users. Now windows user can download the macOS Mojave dmg file and they can use it to create bootable USB. And keep one more thing in your mind, if you visit any site download macOS Mojave iSO, then the flash won’t be bootable correctly. Because of those how are providing you the macOS Mojave ISO file, they have simply converted the macOS Mojave dmg file using PowerISO. Converting macOS Mojave dmg file to any other extensions requires a specific set of skills in the coding of an operating system. So, it is so rare that anyone put that much effort. However, I can’t predict if someone changes the macOS Mojave dmg to iSO in the future.
• 16 GB USB Flash: The macOS Mojave dmg file size is actually is 6.7 GB and at least it requires 8 GB of storage to extract the files. But since many users are facing errors, I would you recommend you to use a 16 GB USB Flash. And please make sure that the USB must be 3.0 because with USB 3.0 it takes 50 minutes to create bootable USB and I wonder How much time it would take for USB 2.0 to Create bootable USB.
• Transmac: TransMac is a software which is specifically built for windows users to mount, format, edit and create bootable for macOS. However there is also alternative software to TransMac but they are working best for Hackintosh file system (HFS), but since macOS high Sierra and macOS Mojave have Apple File system (APS), they can’t support it. Another thing which you must know about the TransMac, that TransMac is not free forever, it only provides you 15 days of trial. But After that, you have to purchase it.

Before creating bootable USB for macOS Mojave in windows 10 using TransMac, you have to download and Install TransMac. Installing TransMac is so simple and it does not require too much attention but in case if you don’t know How to Install. Follow the below procedures:

• Double click on the setup to launch the installation wizard.
• Click next, next, next, and next.
• Now click on the Install to copy the TransMac Files to your root drive.
• When the Installation is done, click Finish.

Step 1. Now Attach the USB Flash Drive to the Computer.

Step 2. Run TransMac as Administrator, if it is not given the full privileges it can’t create bootable USB for macOS Mojave.

Step 3. Right click on the USB and select format disk for mac.

Step 4. Once the disk is formatted for Mac, again right click and select Restore with Disk Image.

Step 5. Now the TransMac will warn that all files will be overwritten, so you have to click on the Yes and move to the next step.

Step 6. Now locate the macOS Mojave dmg file by clicking on the three dots.

Step 7. Once again it will warn you, that all the files will be overwritten, so you have to click yes.

Step 8. Have patients until the process of copying files should be complete, once it is done. Attach it to a computer and start installing macOS Mojave on PC.

Please keep in mind that the TransMac is only campable of creating a UEFI partition not legacy. If you are looing to create a legacy bootable USB Flash Drive you have to try using the Unibeast on Virtual Machine to create bootable USB.

Conclusion

Create A Bootable Usb From Iso

It’s autumn again; the leaves are starting to fall, a new version of macOS has just shipped, and the team at DiskMaker has just released the newest version of DiskMaker X. What’s so exciting about that? DiskMaker X 8 is a quick and easy way to create bootable install disks, and many Rocket Yard readers have used the free utility over the years so they have a flash or hard drive they can use for a clean install of macOS. In this article we’ll show you how to create a bootable install drive.

There are other ways to make a bootable installation disk that require familiarity with the Mac command line, but DiskMaker X just makes the process much more “Mac-like” and transparent.

Download DiskMaker X 8
Click the link above to download a copy of DiskMaker X 8 to your Mac. DiskMaker X is free of charge, but sending the developers a donation to support their work is always a good idea.

Install DiskMaker X 8
To install DiskMaker X 8, find the installer disk image file. By default, it should be in the Downloads folder. Once you’ve located the disk image file, double click it to mount the disk image and a screen similar to the one below appears:

Drag the DiskMaker X 8 icon to the Applications folder alias as shown by the gray arrow on the installer screen. The app is installed…but wait to launch it because there is more work to do first…

Download the macOS Mojave Installer
Perhaps you’ve already upgraded your Mac to macOS Mojave. If so, you probably won’t find the installer in your Applications folder. That’s not a problem since you can download it from the Mac App Store. Note that if you have already installed Mojave, clicking the “Get” button in the Mac App Store will launch System Preferences > Software Update and you’ll see the following dialog (see screenshot below).

Still running macOS 10.13 High Sierra or earlier?

Click the Download link (it’s shown as “Downloading” in the screenshot above) and the Mojave Installer is downloaded into the Applications folder on your Mac.

Have a USB Flash Drive, or USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire Drive Available
Creating your bootable install drive takes a drive with at least 8GB of capacity. USB flash drives are acceptable for this task, although quite slow. Some Mac owners purchase a new 8 or 16GB flash drive each year so they have a macOS installer archive for each version. The affordable OWC 16GB Dual USB Flash Drive works perfectly as an installer drive.

For faster installations, a USB 3.0 drive like the pocket-sized 1TB OWC Express works perfectly. If you’re going to be doing a clean install of Mojave on a bunch of Thunderbolt-equipped Macs, take a look at the 1TB LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt drive.

DiskMaker X erases what ever is on the drive when you create the bootable macOS Mojave install drive. If you want to use the same drive to carry other utilities or troubleshooting tools or want to use it as a backup drive, that needs to be set up after you’ve created the bootable install drive.

Already running macOS 10.14 Mojave? READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING!
macOS 10.14 Mojave has a new Privacy Control mechanism built into it that will cause multiple alerts to appear on the screen. To bypass a few of the alerts, it’s necessary to give Accessibility authorization. Here’s how to do that:

• Launch System Preferences from the Dock, the Applications folder, or from the Apple menu > System Preferences
• Click Security & Privacy
• Click the Privacy tab
• Click Accessibility
• Unlock the preference by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner of the System Preferences window, then enter your password or use Touch ID to continue
• Drag the DiskMaker X icon from the Finder to the right part of the window, or click the + button and select the DiskMaker X application in the Applications folder. DiskMaker X is added to the list of apps that can control your Mac (see screenshot below).

Be sure to remove this authorization after you’re done using DiskMaker X to create your bootable drive.

Also note that that there are alerts that appear when running DiskMaker X even though you’ve authorized this setting. Click OK when the alerts appear.

Launch DiskMaker X 8
Attach the drive to the Mac, make sure that the drive is visible from the Finder (in some cases a drive icon may appear on the Desktop), then launch DiskMaker X 8. Note that if you’ve kept macOS installers from the past in your Applications folder, DiskMaker X asks which version of the operating system you wish to use to make a boot disk from. Select the version — in the case, macOS Mojave (10.14) — and then the following dialog should appear:

Earlier we noted that the downloaded macOS installer should have ended up in the Applications folder. If DiskMaker X 8 selects the Applications folder and finds a copy of the installer software in it, click “Use this copy” — the button will be highlighted. The app then asks for the type of disk you’re using for your bootable disk (see image below).

Remember that whatever drive you use is completely erased by DiskMaker. If you’re thinking about making a single disk that can install Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave, use Disk Utility (found in the Applications/Utilities folder) and partition the drive into five separate volumes — one for each operating system version.

For this example a hard drive was erased and named “Mojave Installer” and is our target drive, so clicking “Another kind of disk” (rather than “An 8 GB USB thumb drive”) is appropriate. DiskMaker X then asks which drive you wish to erase (see image below).

In this case, select “MacOS Mojave 10.14 Install Disk – 10.14)” (or whatever you named your disk), then click “Choose this disk”.

You’re reminded one more time that the volume is going to be erased (see image above). Click “Erase then create the disk” and DiskMaker X 8 then reminds you that you’re required to type in the administrator user name and password (see screenshot below).

During the disk creation process, temporary windows open and close, files are copied, and you may be asked if you wish to use your disk as a Time Machine backup drive — if this happens (and it may occur more than once) click “Don’t use”. If you’re running a virus protection app, it may ask if you wish to scan the disk; be sure to tell it to leave your disk alone!

You’ll know that DiskMaker X 8 is done when you hear a lion roar, and a dialog is displayed to inform you of the completion.

Now (as seen in the screenshot above), it’s possible to reboot your Mac while holding down the Option (Alt) key to select your boot drive, or use System Preferences > Startup Disk to set the drive you just created as the boot drive.

Our thanks to Guillaume Gète and the rest of the DiskMaker X team.
