As a clean install fan, I can't believe how complicated Apple has now made this process. I had a different experience (that may help silicon users)with a 2021 M1 MB Pro...after erasing the drive I was prompted to connect back to WiFi to "Activate" my account. Once that was done I was brought back to Recovery Window given an option to Install OS Monterrey again or go back in Disk Utility. Without making a selection I clicked on the Apple icon at the top left and Shut Down my MacBook. I powered back on in Recovery Mode (holding down power button) a SECOND time. The Install Ventura USB appeared this time, and after reconnecting to Wifi again I clicked on the Installer USB and was able to Install Ventura.

@Iapfix please resolve this issue
the volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel)

Monterey worked for me, I installed it to my usb drive from my iMac and installed the Monterey to my MacBook Pro 17.

[MoinO-fihi]

does it work on 32-64 bit windows pc or do you have to have a mac? Does it work on both arm and intel macs?

[aminesprit]

I have done this, but I get the error 1008F. If it rejects the error, it stays at the same stage during the installation and does not move forward at all. What should I do, please guide me

[bradfordcox]

Didn't work - Several anomalies - Downloading Ventura from the Apple Store didn't give me the "Download" option. It always wanted me to install via update. Fortunately, I found the Install in the Applications folder and diligently followed the create bootable USB (32GB Sandisk) that seemed to work just fine. 2018 i9 MacBook Pro w/10.15.7 -connected to power the entire time. When attempting the clean install, booting from USB (holding OPT) I get the error - "A software update is required to use this startup disk. You can update now or select another startup disk" Pressing "UPDATE" renders an white apple logo, black field, progress bar. This fails and I get "An error occurred installing the update. Try again or select another startup disk". Click on Try Again puts me into a death loop, e.g. fail - try again. I've tried on several SanDisk drives same results.

Then I just try the update path - gets only so far then errors out to "Need an internet connection to continue" Internet connection is very plainly in place.

Totally frustrated with this crap.

what format should I use thumb drive on for macOS if I'm using a ssd for Monterey?

[nqah]

i keep on getting this message in the terminal (whats the fix):
Copying essential files...
Copying the macOS RecoveryOS...

[eddybobby]

I appreciate your video but every time I do this I get errors. It erases the disk, it goes through the motions of copying the macOS recoveryOS but after that, the following message comes up; Failed to extract from update bundle
The bless of the installer disk failed.

Any assistance would be helpful. When it erases it reformats it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I am using a 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro w/M2 Pro chip. Ventura 13.6.1

Quick question. Do you know how to do this with multiple drives? For instance, I would like to be able to create 10 bootable drives at once in terminal.

[jumpjumpholydiver]

Any idea why I keep getting this error when try to run this command? zsh: segmentation fault sudo --volume /Volumes/VENTURAUSB

[ahmedhakim]

Wifi is off and not turn on when i try to install Ventura mac book pro 2018 any solutions ???

[BoHonk]

Great job! After reading numerous help sites (including several Apple forum posts) and watching several videos, this was the one resource that helped me.

As I prepared my old Mac for trade-in, I used Disk Utility to erase the SSD. But I wanted to have MacOS installed to prove the machine was bootable. My old USB thumb drive installer (High Sierra! Those were the days....) didn't work. So I was forced to look for an alternative.

Following your very clear instructions, I was able to download Ventura to my new computer and create an installer on a spare drive. Then I was able to boot from that on the old machine and get it ready for shipping. Hooray! Thanks much.

Suggestion: Please edit this video to boost the audio from 3:59 - 9:24 (the screen recording section), because it's almost inaudible for that critical part of the video. I had to boost my gain to the max to understand what you were saying, and then lunge to crank it back down when you returned to the "live" recording.

When I select the "Instal Ventura MacOS" after turning on the computer while holding command it immediately goes to the grey screen of death, do you know how to fix this?

[DeepakKumar-pxbc]

When I tried to Erase the physical disk APPLE SSD AP0256Q Media it failed:

> The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel) > Couldn't open device. : (-69877)
