directions to clean install MacOS Sierra

I'll install MacOS Sierra like many of you, but I won't update or upgrade, I want to do a 'Clean Install' on my iMac to the retina. There are several small, painful on ranging from the questions that no ONE at Apple was able to help with. I'm sped to start again and I hope after a month or two AFTER Sierra is released and immediate bugs will be crushed and then I can make the trip. Since Sierra is a new file system, I hope that everything will be good in the rim. This way my two hundred concerts (or almost) of music plays without hiccup and my huge photo library will play too nice!

There are several "how to" out in WEB land, but honestly, each of them is a little confusing. I do not understand why Apple insists on not to put an accurate Concise Guide, step by step. My burlap as 1st Sergeant used to explain in the body when something needed to explain. We said, ' Let explain me it like Barney. Referring to Barney Fife. In other words, super easy. I was going to buy an eBook take control books Scholle McFarland. I wonder what any of you think of the great guru?

Yes I use Time Machine. Yes, I have backed up Photos and iTunes separately. I'll do the same thing to my documents and email (not sure one).

Appreciate some guidance.

This isn't a bad guide... http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan-Mac/

Just replace the name of 'El Capitan' with 'macOS Sierra.

FWIW, the upgrade can not get rid of your "hard" problems, according to what they are.

I have never had this with the previous updates and research of these discussions and more generally on Google pulls a vacuum.

  • Downloaded the new MacOS Sierra, but cannot install it

    Hello!

    The morning I downloaded the new OS Sierra from AppStore. The download is complete, I started to install. Amidst this, a message appeared and he said I don't have enough hard disk space. Well, fortunately I managed to start the previous operating system and everything works normally.

    The problem is the following- I always update the operating system more recent. I open AppStore, OS Sierra search and it says downloaded. But I can not start the installation process in any case .

    In the finder, I noticed that there are new 'macOS Install Data' folder under Macintosh HD. Should I delete this, so I can re-download from AppStore new OS and then install? Or how can I start the installation again process?

    Thank you!

    Look in your Applications folder for "Install macOS Sierra." This is where the installer is placed when it is downloaded. It is normally deleted once the update is complete, but may still be there.

    I would also say that you look through the problems on this forum other users have experienced so you can decide if you want to join them.

  • macOS Sierra - calendar Agent Crash

    I installed macOS Sierra on my MBP 8.3 (17 "end 2011) - 16 GB of RAM. 1 TB SSD.

    After you have identified a problem with a Logitech mouse driver (and delete) I stopped for a few days to attend to other things.

    Restart today, I had a few problems:

  • macOS Sierra upgrade questions

    Problems of bad battery life updated since El Capitan with macOS Sierra. "100% charged drains battery fast on Sierra for 2-3 hours only. Before the mac update OS Sierra, he could stay for 8-9 hours,". If we installed macOS Sierra and noticed that the battery life is empty very quickly on MacBook Air/Pro, iMac etc, please help me to solve the problem of this problems.

    Hey there,

    Nothing but hurt. It is a common problem in the Sierra. One of the reasons, you must take off the coast about obtaining the latest software. It can be a bit much. If I remember correctly, they do not have the issues of EL CAP battery until le.3 ou.4 updated. (this is the solution that allowed the 8-9) I would recommend just downgrading to El Cap, as I can't imagine that the loss in the life of the battery is useful for siri.   Just my 2 cents.
