Since its move to online purchasing and distribution of its operating system software, Apple has no longer included gray recovery DVDs with its Mac systems. Instead, if you wish to reinstall OS X you simply reboot to the OS X Recovery HD and use the tools there to format your hard drive (should you choose to), then run the installer to download OS X from Apple's servers.

While convenient for those with fast broadband connections, sometimes you may find yourself in a location without fast Internet and would benefit from having a way to reinstall OS X from scratch. Granted, the use of Time Machine makes restoring from backup relatively easy, but if for some reason you need to repartition the hard drive or install a new one on your system, you will first need to install OS X again.

One easy option (which I have discussed before) is to purchase OS X from the App Store, then create a boot drive from its contents. However, this requires you to purchase a separate license of OS X. The copy of OS X that is included with your Mac is not considered a retail purchase, so unfortunately you will be able to access it only through Apple's installer. However, there is a small workaround that you can use to capture this copy and put it on a USB drive for use offline.

Apple Discussion Communities member 'keg55' outlines the method for doing this, which involves installing OS X to an external drive, then removing the drive before the installer can complete, thereby preserving the installation image.

  1. Get an 8GB or higher USB drive and plug it into your Mac.
  2. Restart to Recovery mode by holding Command-R at startup. (Internet Recovery by including the Option key here will also work.)
  3. Choose the option to Install OS X and select the USB drive as the destination.
  4. Proceed with the installation and monitor the download. When your Mac automatically restarts, it will display a black screen with no video output for a second or two. At this point, unplug the USB drive.

With the drive unplugged, your Mac will boot normally to its internal drive. Now you can reattach the external drive, on which you should see a folder called 'OS X Install Data' that contains a disk image file called InstallESD.dmg. (If this is missing, then you likely waited too long to unplug the drive.) Copy this file to your computer, then use Disk Utility along with the standard instructions for creating an OS X installation drive to restore the contents of this image to your USB drive.

Once finished, you should be able to reboot your system with the Option key held down, then choose the USB drive which will load the OS X installer and allow you to reinstall OS X without the need for connection to the Internet.

Apple's latest version of its OS X operating system is now available as a free download for iMac and MacBook owners. OS X Yosemite delivers a more modern look to Apple's desktop operating system, with a redesigned dock, improved Notification Center and better integration with iOS, among other new features. Here's what you need to know before installing OS X Yosemite:

System requirements

All Macs that are capable of running OS X Mavericks will be able to update to OS X Yosemite. Meaning if your Mac has at least 2GB of RAM, 8GB of available storage, and is running at least at least OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, you should be good to go. You can find a complete list of Macs compatible with OS X Yosemite below:

  • iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
  • MacBook (13-inch, late 2008 aluminum, early 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid/late 2007 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (17-inch, late 2007 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
  • Xserve (Early 2009)

Not all features will be available to all compatible devices, however. Apple has said that to take full advantage of all of the features in Yosemite, such as the new Handoff feature, Macs must include support for Bluetooth 4.0.

Updating

As mentioned above, OS X Yosemite is free and updating to it is quite simple. I recommend that your computer is connected to the charger. Open the Mac App Store, you should see a large banner advertising the new operating system, but if you are having trouble finding it, search for 'OS X Yosemite' or click this link.

The file is relatively big (it's larger than 5GB) and could take a long time to download. It all depends on your Internet connection. Once the it has finished downloading, the OS X Yosemite installer will launch. Tap Continue and agree to Apple's licensing agreement. Select the hard drive you would like to install the operating system to (usually it's the default Macintosh HD) and click Install.
