Attempting to create an exterior USB thumb drive to run macOS Monterey from however first must be APFS, utilizing macOS 10.12.6 Sierra; I haven’t got an possibility from Disk Utility to format with APFS. I adopted directions utilizing this code:
diskutil apfs createContainer /dev/nameofmydisk
however I bought an error:
diskutil: didn't acknowledge APFS verb "createContainer"; kind "diskutil apfs" for an inventory
I did kind record and bought:
Utilization: diskutil [quiet] ap[fs] the place is as follows: record (Present standing of all present APFS Containers) deleteContainer (Delete an APFS Container and reformat previous disks to HFS) deleteVolume (Take away an APFS Quantity from its APFS Container) unlockVolume (Unlock an encrypted APFS Quantity which is locked) diskutil apfs with no choices will present assistance on that verb I’m not certain what to do from then on and what this all means.
Mainly, I don’t need to replace my OS on my pc, I need to run Monterey from an exterior drive USB thumb since it would be simpler to move, and principally, as a result of that is what I’ve in the meanwhile as a result of I do not really care about having a brand new model of OS aside from the truth that there are some duties I am unable to carry out on my Mac due to the OS is just too previous, and people duties usually are not as related to me as it’s to preserver my present system as it’s.
For instance, I am unable to join/switch recordsdata to my new iPhone 13 by the Mac as a result of the iPhone 13 requires to have at the very least a particular model of iTunes that I am unable to set up on Sierra and some different ones.
My machine is a MacBook Professional 2016 15″.
