- If you get a disk locked error on your mac when installing a new OS these are the steps you need to take. Catalina high sierra mountain lion operating system.I went through this process on a 2009 Macbook Pro so it should be easier on more modern systems.
You saved me, I felt hopeless for 5 hours straight at night but you saved me with this fix. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you so much my grandpa was stuck on this for 7 hours in my MacBook but I tryed finding a video like this And NO WAY YOU SAVED MY MAC SOO MUCH!!! It came back to me!
Great video! I spent hours trying to figure out how to get the High Sierra OS on my 2011 iMac because I couldn't get the drive unlocked. This video nailed it. Straight to the point and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
I went through the same thing and got lucky so I decided to record it lol
Mas
Thank you so much! I have watched lots of video clips about this topic but yours is far the best! Excellent! 👍👍👍
Thank you thank you thank you I’ve watched hundreds of videos and this is the one that fixed it!!
Thanks for the info! I was curious if you can remove partitions after the system was set up.
What if you have another external hard drive available? do you still have to partition the main SSD you want the operating system on?
Am having a similar problem.
If I partition the drive and reinstall Mac OS on that partition, will I lose all the info I have on the locked side of the partition drive. I have a lot of music on there that I don’t want to lose.
THANK YOU! I'd been banging my head against the wall for hours. Your video did the trick.
After making the partition, and holding option to boot under two different drives, either drive I boot under gives me ONLY apple logo with no loading symbol. Any ideas of what to do?
Thank you sir you saved me a lot of trouble i have been fighting for 3 days trying to figure it out 🙏
I know the feeling lol that's why I had to make the video
I am trying to boot Catalina from flash drive and just like you my flash drive was locked when I tried to do the install on the boot flash drive. I did partition my flash like you said but think my flash drive partitions are too small now. Do you have to have the install Catalina on the same drive your wanting to do the install on? May have to get a larger flash drive if that is the case. Using a 16GB but may need a 32 or 64GB,
Hi, I have partitioned it but it is saying that the App Store is currently unavailable. I’m not sure what’s going wrong. Please let me know, thank you in advance.
How did u split partition
Dear sir, thank you for explaining this for us because I'm trying for days to do this update...I'll keep you posted on the result, Big thank you from Patrick, Europe, Belgium 😊
This worked for me. Even on my Sierra version. Thanks a ton!
Hi buddy! I need you help, when try I to create partition it fails and only shows the boot disk. I indtall windows 10 and HD show up but looked, please help me out
Why would you want to split your hard drive size in half to install the OS? So what happens to the other 250GB of hard drive space? Does anyone have a better way?
I don't understand. How did you fix it?
No effing way… I guess I’ll join the gang… took me 4 hours on many different t sources but you did it man… you’re awesome!
so How do You go back to login from factory restar on mac os?
Theirs an extra hard drive on mine and but it just loads when it hits sign in to Apple takes a very long time
How do i transfer the locked files to my new partition tho
I have a 2012 iMac and updating to a 2T SSD!
It won’t let me partition for AFTS format. It keeps giving me an error. If anyone has pointers, please I’m SO stuck.
i dont speek english greatly, so i didnt get how you split the base system. someone can explain it to me?
What do you do if it says can’t unmount
hey imperfect guide -- u have helped - i thank u ----------however i am naive but when i have a problem i search---0k so i did separate not the external one but the internal one cos i couldnot separe the internal disk as not able to partition. however u may have wanted to something different but i might have understood otherwise,, anyway thanks
thanks very helpful i fixed my laptop by you
When I try to create the partition it says petition failed with the air couldn't unmount disc
hi but still doestnt solve the problem of unlocking the hard drive I was installing new update and it froze since then my original hard drive is locked and I instal old os on the other disk which I use as storage but I want my original disk to be unlocked and be able to instal on it that I can use my Mac as before do you know how to do it ?
Did you ever figure it out I had the same problem
THANK YOU!!! FINALLYYYYY something useful!!!
Someone help I did all the steps but my applications and everything deleted my Logic Pro X etc is there any way I can get this stuff back???
Why This doesn't work to MBA 2020 ?
But how do you split it?
It won’t let me partition the HDD: „Invalid request“. 2TB, tried to create a 500GB volume as well as 1TB (which is totally oversized for the system install). So there’s a 2TB HDD which can’t be partitioned and „this disk is locked“... 🤔
So what did you do? Did you find a solution?
smart move. thank you so much for sharing this
Hey how do I update to mocintosh hd
I messed mine up it will not boot I keep getting dos prompts and reboots can’t even use Apple r ???? I’m stuck
That’s an easy fix just partition it
It will fail then click erase then set as Mac OS extended journal
Then go back and try the reinstall works for me every time
You saved my life 😃 thank you so much
I created a partition like you suggested now my computer wont turn on. The apple icon will appear, itll load halfway then crash. My original MacHD used to load up. Now after I did the partition the only Hard Drive I see when I turn on the computer and hold down option is Recovery. Any suggestions?
I created this solution because that's what was happening to me so you probably have to go back and delete that partition in settings
There is a problem because when I go on option it shows Internet recovery. 😔
You are 100% correct this worked perfect for me...
Thank so much you saved me !!
You are the best

@@hamedhumaid576 I had the same problem. Thank you!
thank you
you didnt even show anyone how to unlock a locked disk smh
It worked for most. I'm not a computer genius I just showed what I accomplished.sorry if it didn't work for you.
@@rdarden81 yea but if your going to do a tutorial show ppl how to unlock it you dint show anybody you just talked the whole time... and theres ppl in the comments who said the same I'm not the only one smmfh
It works for some and doesn't for others. Good luck in your search. There is also plenty of people it worked for. I'm sure people eat different you foodss than you too. Should we close the restaurants you don't eat at?
exactly like wtf
@@aanaimone I had to purchase a new copy on amazon on a usb only like 10 bucks
I’m stuck on the same thing
The fix to the locked drive is that one partition has to be APFS
But what if you’re iMac won’t turn on only goes into recovery mode 😩😭
It goes to recovery mode without a hard drive? You can repartition your hd from recovery mode with disk utility.
IMPERFECT AUDIO do you have a email or something that I can contact you on please
@@musicmusic4801 did he help you? I have the same issue
RubenShaym Brutus Na he didn’t 🤣
@@musicmusic4801 unfortunately guys I am not an expert but I did find a solution to this specific issue. I'm not understanding what you are trying to do from recovery mode. You can access disk utility from recovery mode and fix the disk that way.
this makes no sense are you using 2 Macs? install from 1 to the other?
2 hrs
Hey I need help
Me to
Me three
Hi, could you please help me. This is the exact problem that I have with my Mac. I want to reinstall the OS but the hard drive is locked. This video is helpful, but being a complete Mac noob, I am lost. Could you do a step by step on how you did the partion please 🙏🙏🙏 I don't want to mess up my computer further by making a mistake. I literally need to know every single thing I need to click. And I can't find any online information on this. This is the only video on unlocking the har drive. Please and thank you.
Contact *binary_tools11* on IG he got mine perfectly fixed few days ago try him and thank me later
@@adamlallana1358 I will do that, thank you so much. ❤️
Can’t open safari or chrome so I tried to reset the whole computer and erase everything, then I couldn’t install the disc like you did in this video, and when I tried to open the disc utility things I couldn’t even click continue so now I’m sitting here with a computer that won’t let me click continue, but now I can’t even open or click on anything. I just clicked shutdown and now it won’t turn in Jesus the Christ that’s wild, I guess I’ll throw away my new computer
Turn in
Not helpful whatsoever. The drive is locked? It can't be partitioned? That doesn't make sense.
Sorry I couldn't help. Hopefully there is a video addressing your issue.
I didnt even understand anything
It worked for me thanks heaps a it was starting to sh$t me lol
My disk has to include a password!!
😊
I keep having to sign in to App Store and El Capitan isn’t available from them even though I have El Capitan in usb
Someone help I did all the steps but my applications and everything deleted my Logic Pro X etc is there any way I can get this stuff back???
