Failed To Create Macos Installer
Edilma Howard
Two things spring to mind and neither are good. The Sierra Installer is corrupt and needs to re-downloaded a fresh with notation to use Safari as Other may not work. Further to Sierra on link supplied is " Safari downloads the following older installers as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It installs an app named Install [Version Name]. Open that app from your Applications folder to begin installing the operating system." Then try the Bootable Installer via Terminal
On the safe side - Reformat the problematic drive HFS Journaled and GUID Partition Map. Have used this Terminal Command many times and has worked - below - Give the Destination Drive Name Untitled
AFAIK the macOS 10.12 Sierra installer is broken when it comes to creating a bootable macOS 10.12 USB installer since Apple decided to hide the download link for the last year or two instead of actually fixing the installer. There is a simple fix that needs to be performed in order to create a bootable macOS 10.12 USB installer, but I don't recall the exact details. I know the fix has been mentioned on these forums a few times over the last year or two.
1- downloaded macOS High Sierra using Safari instead of my favourite browser. Infact, when I tried to download it from another browser, it failed to connect to the App Store and the download didn't start.
Thanks for your reply. I solved the issue by downloading Mac Os High Sierra using Safari instead of the browser I normally use. This allowed me to download it from the App Store very quickly. Any other browser failed to create a connection with the app store and the download couldn't start, that's why at first I opted for Mac Os Sierra, because the download started directly, without passing from the App Store. I guess that that copy of Sierra was corrupt because I eventually managed to create a bootable USB with my flash drive.
Try to install CMake cmake-2.8.12.2-Darwin64-universal.dmg on OS X 10.9.3I removed the old version from Application folder and delete ccmake, cmake, cmake-gui etc in usr/bin.But get "Failed create symlink installation may be incomplete: /usr/bin/cpack" and other error messages.
CMake 3.0 does not seem to come with an installer any longer. So I ran into a similar issue. Like @ComicSansMS said you need to first remove the symlinks using sudo rm. Then you can run the gui withsudo /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/MacOS/CMake and use the Tools -> Install For Command Line Use menu item.
The easiest fix here is to manually remove those links from /usr/bin and re-run the installer. IIRC it's at least cmake, ccmake, cmake-gui, cpack and ctest that need removing. Best way is to do a ls -l /usr/bin from the console and grep for all the links pointing to the old CMake installation directory.
If this is the only Java Version you have installed you should be fine and Eclipse should open up. If that is not the case and you have another Java Version installed. You have to tell Eclipse which Version of Java it should be using (see Step 2).
Tell Eclipse which Version to use by editing the /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist file as described by Juan Ignacio Barisich and Brad Parks. That being the version you installed in step 1.
Disclaimer: Please bare in mind that those were the steps I took to get eclipse running again. Because I'm nowhere qualified to give a precise answer about this please take a look at the comments in case I got something wrong.
If the Eclipse Installer.app file is in a DMG, right click on it, and copy it, then paste it into another folder. Then right click on that app file, and choose "Show Package Contents", to get into the files inside the application.
Eclipse - say Eclipse 2020-03 - runs with Java 11, Java 12, Java 13, but does not run with Java 14. It fails with the message "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine". This happens for the installer and for Eclipse itself.
If you like to have JDK 14 installed, start the installer with a different JDK via the command line open Path-to-Eclipse-Installer/Eclipse\ Installer.app --args -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/NAMEOFJDK/Contents/Home/bin
I started facing the same problem in mac suddenly after updating to macOS Monterey, So I just did the following steps:Then go to Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini file and open it with any text editor and you will see the following:Add below line before -vmargs as shown in above image:
Now you have to change the options, go to Preferences (command + ,) > Java > Compiler and search the version 14. Before this step you need to install jdk 14 (link) Perhaps eclipse would suggest you to change to the correct JREs, for this you need to go to Java > Installed JREs and add the correct version. When you click add you need to choose he JRE type, in my case I use a MacOS X VM and Standard VM, then you have to choose the directory (/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachine/jdk-14/Contents/Home and click open you could give a JRE Name and finish eclipse will be restart and now you can use eclipse with java 14.
I mounted eclipse dmg file and copied eclipse inside Applications. Then I tried to modify file Info.plist located inside Contents as below, but was getting that this file Info.plist is readonly error. I noticed that I already have read and write permission but still it was giving me that read only error. Then I moved the contents of Eclipse to some other local folder and then edited Info.plist, it did not give me readonly error.
This means macOS has detected an SMBIOS it does not support. To resolve this, ensure you're booting OpenCore before the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder that the option will be called EFI Boot.
However, if the ? Symbol only appears after the boot process has already started (the bootscreen appears/verbose boot starts), it could mean that your USB drive has failed to pass macOS' integrity checks. To resolve this, create a new installer using a different USB drive (preferably of a different model.)
After installing macOS, OpenCore Legacy Patcher should automatically prompt you to install OpenCore onto the internal drive. However, if it doesn't show the prompt, you'll need to either manually transfer (opens new window) OpenCore to the internal drive's EFI or Build and Install again and select your internal drive.
With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we rely on Apple Secure Boot to ensure OS updates work correctly and reliably with Big Sur. However this installs NVRAM variables that will confuse your Mac if not running with OpenCore. To resolve this, simply uninstall OpenCore and reset NVRAM (opens new window).
If you have FileVault 2 enabled, you will need to mount the Data volume first. This can be done in Disk Utility by locating your macOS volume name, selecting its Data volume, and selecting the Mount option in the toolbar.
This error occurs when macOS determines that the current firmware does not have full APFS support. To resolve this, when installing OpenCore, head to "Patcher Settings" and enable "Moderate SMBIOS Patching" or higher. This will ensure that the firmware reported will show support for full APFS capabilities.
In macOS, GPU drivers are often dropped from the OS with each major release of it. With macOS Big Sur, currently, all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler graphics processors.
If you're using OCLP v0.4.4, you should have been prompted to install Root Volume patches after the first boot from installation of macOS. If you need to do this manually, you can do so within the patcher app. Once rebooted, acceleration will be re-enabled as well as brightness control for laptops.
Due to Apple dropping NVIDIA Kepler support in macOS Monterey, MacBookPro11,3's GMUX has difficulties switching back to the iGPU to display macOS correctly. (opens new window) To work-around this issue, boot the MacBookPro11,3 in Safe Mode and once macOS is installed, run OCLP's Post Install Root Patches to enable GPU Acceleration for the NVIDIA dGPU.
If you're having trouble with DisplayPort output on Mac Pros, try enabling Minimal Spoofing in Settings -> SMBIOS Settings and rebuild/install OpenCore. This will trick macOS drivers into thinking you have a newer MacPro7,1 and resolve the issue.
What this error signifies is that the OS detects that the boot volume's hash does not match what the OS is expecting, this error is generally cosmetic and can be ignored. However if your system starts to crash spontaneously shortly after, you'll want to reinstall macOS fresh without importing any data at first.
With OCLP, the patcher will always overwrite the current SIP value on boot to ensure that users don't brick an installation after an NVRAM reset. However, for users wanting to disable SIP entirely, this can be done easily.
For those experiencing issues with USB 1.1 devices (such as mice, keyboards and bluetooth chipsets), macOS Big Sur and newer have weakened OS-side reliability for the UHCI controller in older Mac Pros.
Because of this, we recommend placing a USB 2.0/3.0 hub between your devices and the port on the Mac Pro. UHCI and EHCI cannot both be used at once, so using a USB hub will always force the EHCI controller on.
