Downgrade from El Capitan back to Yosemite

[dwayne00]

Hello,
I'm trying to downgrade from El Capitan to Yosemite. I've down a lot of research and have tried the code below to create a bootable disk but when I enter the code I get the message "/Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there an easier way to do this?

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

You need to substitute the "Untitled" in /Volumes/Untitled with the actual name of the disk you're trying to make the bootable installer.

The name of the disk is untitled. Do I need to give it an actual name?

No, but "untitled" and "Untitled" are not the same thing in the command line.

Nice great catch. Thanks I'm going to check it out now.

I went back and checked it and everything pertaining to the name untitled matches. The disk is name "Untitled" as the same in the command line but I still got the error.

Maybe a shot in the dark, but give it a different name, something like Bootup, or whatever. See if that helps.

Great news, so I renamed it Yosemite and configured the command for it and it worked. Go figure... But it worked. Thank you all so much for the help!
