    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    The difference is the type of file in those two screenshots. The first is the result of running the download .dmg file, which is an installer package (a .pkg file) The package contents are not viewable. If you launch that .pkg file, it will output the installer app that you show in your second...

    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    Sorry we couldn't get you going. But, I think you came to a wrong conclusion. If you downloaded the dmg for El Capitan, opened that and ran the file inside to complete the installer app for El Capitan, then you did NOT get an updater. It was, in fact, a full installer, 6.22GB in size. Full...

    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    You can't do the installer setup install on the M2, because the M2 is not compatible/not bootable with El Capitan. So, won't allow copying the installer to a Mac that can't boot from that system version. But, you could do it on the Mac Pro that you told me is at work. Keep in mind that when you...

    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    If you want to change the format (actually, the "scheme") to GUID, you have to erase the drive (the device), not just the partition. You should see that the topmost item in the list for your drive in Disk Utility, will be the device (which shows the manufacturer's info/model number/etc, not just...

    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    Sorry, I though, from your first post, that you already have a bootable USB installer made. This will be a long post, as I want to post the steps to make your USB installer, and get past those "evil" terminal commands, too! (Important question here), Does your MacPro boot successfully, so you...

    Firefox Won't Open

    I think that your settings/bookmarks for Firefox might be lost. But, as your system installation is very recent, and that your Firefox setup is important to you, that you might consider wiping the drive, reinstalling Ventura again, and (again) migrating from your existing Time Machine backup...

    Using M2 Mini to create El Capitan boot disk

    You can make a bootable installer on your M2 mini, which is a simple task through the terminal. All you need is a copy of the installer app for the system version that you want to use. But, that will just give you a bootable installer, which you cannot use from your M2 mini (it is not...

    Firefox Won't Open

    You could drag and drop a fresh download of Firefox, to replace the app where you are keeping it. You can make sure about that location by right-clicking on the Firefox icon in your Dock. You will get a dropdown menu. Choose Options, then "Show in Finder". Open your Force Quit window--It's under...

    Firefox Won't Open

    "...the icon moves as if it were going to launch..." Do you mean the Firefox icon in your Dock? Or, are you double-clicking the app itself? What happens if you click on the Firefox app (just single-click to select it), then type Cmd+o ?

    What Mac are you using now? You recently updated to Monterey... What system were you using before that upgrade to Monterey?

    Installation of OS (12 and 13) stops in the middle and never gets completed

    Don't get your macOS versions confused.... The version 10.12, known as Sierra, from about 2016-2017 era--is the last version before the APFS drive format. Then, 10.13 (known as High Sierra) was the beginning of that change to APFS. Then 10.14 Mojave, 10.15 Catalina, which was the last macOS...

    Disk Locked; cannot Re-install Osx

    Looks like you have a fusion drive. If you are offered Mountain Lion as an installer when you boot to internet recovery, the newest iMac that shipped with that, is the Late 2013 iMac, which cannot update beyond Catalina (macOS 10.15.7) You can only go to Big Sur or later, with a patched system...

    That software is used to mount cloud storage, so it appears to be a local drive. How does that help the OP?
