Bootable Installer for iMac 2012
I have an old iMac (2012) that was completely wiped. When turned on it only shows a white screen with a "🚫". After entering internet recovery mode I was unable to reinstall MacOS as I am getting an error that says my system does not support this version of OS. After some researching on how to get around this error, as I am very new to this level of administration and using Terminal, I am trying to create a bootable installer on a USB drive. I am trying to use a 2021 Mac book Pro to do this, running Ventura. I have treid with Sierra, El Capitain, and Yosemite, but cannot seem to get the installer drive to open, so that i can access the installer application (in order to run the command in terminal provided by apple, example ;;; sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app)
I have tried manually opening the pkg. with terminal and creating a file for it in applications, but to no avail. Not entirely sure how to progress so i can reinstall macOS and get this computer working. Any ideas..
