My test:

I have tried both ways.

The first way: use iBoysoft DiskGeeker:

After installing iBoysoft DiskGeeker, I followed the on-screen guide to create a bootable installer for macOS Ventura, which required me to purchase a license key to unlock this functionality. And I did.

Then, within an hour, I got the bootable USB installer and used it to successfully start up my MacBook Pro.

The second way: use Terminal.

I prepared a 32 GB USB drive, downloaded the macOS Ventura .app installer from the App Store, and ran the specific commands on my Mac to create the bootable installer. However, when I ran the command, Terminal alerted me that the command was incorrect. After troubleshooting, I found I didn't type the command right — I didn't replace MyVolume with my volume's name.

After about 3 hours, including fixing the issues I encountered with Terminal, I created the macOS 13 bootable installer.

Here, I summarized the detailed steps for the two ways below.

Way 1. Create a macOS Ventura bootable installer with iBoysoft DiskGeeker (without Terminal)

Can't download macOS Ventura on your Mac?

The most common reasons for this issue are probably incompatibility between your Mac and Ventura, an unstable or broken internet connection, insufficient free space, and a paused Apple Server.

To tackle the culprits that block you from downloading macOS Ventura, try the four tricks below. Dive into them and then drive away the snags on your way to downloading macOS Ventura.

1. Check your Mac model

Not all Mac machines support macOS 13. Usually, if your Mac device isn't compatible with macOS 13, you'll see a warning when downloading Ventura from the App Store.

If you don't download Ventura for installation on your Mac, you can get the macOS 13 installer via the link above.

2. Check the Wi-Fi

The macOS Ventura download process takes a relatively long time, and the final time consumption depends on the network conditions. More importantly, it is easily interrupted by unstable or broken networks.

So, if your macOS Ventura download process hangs even for half a day or longer, check your Wi-Fi. You can turn Wi-Fi off and then on or change to another network.

3. Check if the Apple Server is down

The macOS Ventura installer is stored on the Apple Server, and all Mac users download it from there. If the Apple Server is suddenly down, you can't download macOS Ventura.

So, you can check the current condition of the Apple Server. If the lights next to the App Store, macOS Software Update, and Mac App Store are yellow or red, it shows that the Apple Server is unstable or down. Wait until they turn green.

4. Free up more storage space on your Mac

Enough free space is required on your Mac's hard drive to store the macOS Ventura installer. If your Mac almost runs out of available storage, you can't download Ventura onto it.

Therefore, tidy up files on your Mac to release space for the incoming macOS Ventura installer.

Then, you can try to download macOS Ventura again.
