MacBook Pro 2012 disabled gpu booted!

Change graphics

Can I change graphics setting like I have UhD 620 graphics But mac os showing 615 and I think that is the reason macos lagging a little bit

Can I change it to 630, or 620? Without creating a new EFI

Upgrading iMac Late 2013 Catalina

My iMac Late 2013 with SSD, 32GB RAM, Intel i5 with GTX675MX graphics card, installed and running Catalina. It's running super creamy smooth despite being a decade old.

As I just stumbled on OCLP and obviously excited about it and wanted to upgrade to Sonoma.

I have not been able to find answers on OCLP site.

Can I install OCLP Sonoma and restore data / apps from my Catalina Time Machine backup? Or I have to crawl through every iteration of Mac OS from Catalina to Sonoma?

Steam not running on Sonoma

Steam not running on Sonoma

Hi, is anyone having trouble running Steam installation to the finish and managed to get it working?

I have a fresh installed Sonoma and updated to 14.1 (23B74) using OpenCore 0.9.5 and after that patching my Fenvi WiFi card using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.1.0.

System is running with no issues and I have not observed any instability. Everything seems to be working so far.

So I wanted to try some Steam games. I downloaded steam.dmg and run the install. It managed to update the Steam client but then when I expect some Steam GUI window to show, nothing. It is running in the Dock (not bouncing like it is lunching). It just sits there and nothing is happening. Even Network and disc activity is at idle speeds.

These are the only windows presented to me during the install process of Steam app:

Downloading update

Extracting package

Installing update

After that it runs the Steam app. Steam icon bounces a few times on the Dock, then it seems to be running (I can see a dot under the Steam app icon), but I can see no GUI window even when I right click to Show all the Windows.

I am not able to Quit the app from the Dock, I need to Force Quit it.

When I run it again after Force Quit, verifying window show for a second, then the app bounces on the Dock like for ever. After some time it stops bouncing and the dot appears under the Stream app icon (like it's running). Following window appears on the screen, but it is not usable. When I Show all the windows, caption of that window says Steamwebhelper is not responding.

Steamwebhelper is not responding

I obviously tried to delete Steam app including files found at this location /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/ and install it again. I restarted the OS a few times and reset NVRAM as well.

I have reported it to Steam support, they replied that Sonoma 14.1 is supported.

What am I missing?

My HW spec

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz
  • GPU: Saphire Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB
  • RAM: 16GB (2x8GB stick) 3200
  • Motherboard Make and Model: ASUS PRIME Z390-P
  • Audio Codec: Realtek ALC887
  • Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8111H
  • Wi-Fi/BT Card: PCI-e Fenvi FV-T919 (BCM4360)
  • Touchpad and touch display devices: No
  • BIOS revision: Latest according to BIOS online update

Appreciate any help, thanks.

Fully working hackintosh on the Thinkpad X260!

Fully working Big Sur Hackintosh with Native AirPlay/Airdrop etc… support! I found out that the WiFi whitelist for this laptop removed FOR ME when I updated it to the latest BIOS. So I bought a second hand BCM94360NG off of my local marketplace, and it worked! First time making my own EFI and somehow it worked!

Synchronization with iCloud paused - Photos

Hey there!

So far I am very happy with my Hackintosh.

I got through the guide well and was able to sort out all the major problems.Unfortunately, there remains one problem that I can't quite explain.In the Photos app, the sync with iCloud is always paused due to "Bad network connection".

I currently still have an Intel Wifi card with the appropriate kexts installed but would probably soon switch to a supported Broadcom for AirDrop and co.

However, it would be cool to be able to solve the problem first - are there perhaps settings for the config.plist?I haven't found a native solution yet to tell macOS to ignore this, so currently I can only continue syncing for an hour at a time....

Anybody knows anything about it?

PC Stats:

  • Intel Core i5 13400F
  • AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
  • 32 GB Kingston Fury DDR5-4800
  • 2x 1 TB WD Blue (1x Windows, 1x MacOS)
  • Gigabyte B760I AORUS Pro DDR5

How good would Sonoma be with these specs?

I'm thinking about doing a Hackintosh in order to finally enjoy the Apple ecosystem without having to buy a non-upgradable future eWaste that has to be replaced once Apple says "No"

I've managed to build quite a respectable PC for only 500 euros, which has:

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X

RAM: 16GB DDR5-4800

SSD: Gigabyte B650 DS3H

GPU: PowerColor RX 5700

SSDs: Crucial P3, Samsung 980 Pro which I currently use for Linux Mint

And a 2TB HDD, along with a 500GB one. Case has three case fans installed, if that is important.

Would this hardware be capable of making a good Hackintosh, and how good would the performance in Sonoma be?

Laptop LCD extremely dim when booting

Intel i5 8th Gen (Coffee Lake)

Intel UHD 620 Graphics

16gb ram

I used Dortania to set up the EFI.

Everything works during booting, but on the installation screen (where you see disk utility) my laptop LCD just becomes extremely dim.

I have added the following to my boot args (-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1 -igfxblr igfxonln=1 enable-backlight-registers-fix) and I have also put the ACPI SSDT-PNLF.aml.

Is there any kexts I should install at this current moment?

I also don't think trackpad and keyboard works as nothing seems to be happening when I use both (using a USB mouse and keyboard, I can see changes)

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Can't update late Macbook pro 2011 13"

I've tried to install Big Sur using the latest patcher and every time it would go all the way to the installer, it would install up until "About 10 minutes remaining" and would pause. The computer would reset and then start with the next process, then it would go to the update assistant. I've tried with Monterey and would get to the same point.

It has an new SSD installed if that's any problem, I'm creating the installer from Catalina Patcher by DosDude. I have tried most things and nothing has worked

EFI

I have learnt the hard way that prebuilt EFI's lead to all sort of problems, knowing this I followed Dortania's guide for my CPU and GPU taking note of all the important information. My EFI does not even work now and actually works worse than before. Could I upload my EFI here and get some help with it as this is my first time making an EFI?

Rebuilding Mac Mini Mid 2011

Hi All,
First time using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to install macOS on a newly installed SSD.
Instlaled OpenCore Legacy Patcher on a new macbook pro, first selecting "MacMini5,2" in settings, then clicked to "Create macOS Installer" on a thumb drive, then clicked "Build and Install OpenCore" onto the thumbdrive.
The thumb drive boots on the mini and seemingly installs macos, but upon reboot i just get the speaker making strange noises.
What am I missing?
How do i install the "Post-Install Root Patch" on the mini from the bootable thumb drive?
Many thanks!

Highpoint ssd7204 raid not working

Hi,

Got an Asus Z270WS with Opencore 0.8 and a Highpoint SSD7204 that works with the Windows side of things but cant get the driver to recognize the card. At bootup each of the 4 nvme drives comes up but I choose to ignore them. Wonder what I have to do to get it working? Noticed that the 1.1.25 highpointnvme kext is loaded in kextstat. Maybe its the DSDT?

Thanks

Sonoma 14.1 on the MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15'' Retina 10,1 via OCLP --- I do not recommend it. Use Ventura or earlier!

Various issues: Unable to wake from sleep and freezing. I tried some fixes however decided to ''roll back'' to Ventura which solved my stability issues. The issue seemed to be related to graphics however Time Machine back ups to a SMB network drive seemed to be problematic as well.

Ventura is running mighty fine.

As an aside -- I have encountered zero issues with 14.1 Sonoma on a Late 2016 15'' TB MBP!

Happy OCLP'ing ya'll

Help Please – How do I revert 1.1.0 update back to 1.0.1 (Have not updated root patches) 13.6 Ventura on Late-2012 MBPr

Help Please – How do I revert 1.1.0 update back to 1.0.1 (Have not updated root patches) 13.6 Ventura on Late-2012 MBPr

I accidentally updated OCLP to 1.1.0 from a very stable install of Ventura 13.6 running OpenCore build 1.0.1

I caught my error quickly and did not install root patches along with the build update

My mac is working normal, still running Ventura 13.6. I can log-in and have lost no functionality that I'm aware of, but my system is running very slow and beach balling on minor tasks.

On a restart I am greeted with the message below asking to Update the bootloader

What process should I follow to revert back to 1.0.1? I've been searching since yesterday, I've watched a number of videos from Mr. Macintosh and others going into recovery at login, then reverting the root patches in Terminal after mounting the drive.... but I'm not sure if I should do that since I didn't update my root patches

Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Enabled secure boot and add back SSDT to disable other GPU in plist
  • Restart to BIOS and enable Secure Boot
  • Reboot and Done.

Mac Pro 3,1 OCLP GPU?

I have an old Mac Pro 3,1 running 10.11 that I haven't used in years. I'd like to give it to a family member to replace their old core 2 duo desktop that they're somehow still using.

I'd like to put it on Sonoma or Ventura or one of the other fairly recent MacOS versions to get some better software support. They're not particularly computer literate though, so I'd like for it to be as seamless as possible.... What's the best GPU option that's known to work well with a 3,1 and Sonoma/Ventura/Etc? I was thinking about grabbing an RX460 2gb for like $20? Preferably whatever the cheapest compatible option is on eBay, since performance doesn't matter because it'll basically just be a web browsing and Spotify machine

Unsuccessful at trying to enable iServices/Wifi/Bluetooth with BCM94360CD (Open Core)

After a happy debut with Open Core and eventually getting 14.1 on my hack i still havent been able to get wifi to work. I have iCloud finally working, it didnt let me accept Terms and Conditions at 14.0 but 14.1 update enabled me to pass that step and now iCloud folder does indeed work properly. But iMessage and WIFI/Bluetooth and possibly other iServices are not working yet. It is not crucial with wifi as i use ethernet but i would like to get iMessage to function.

Is Sonoma stable or better to stick to Ventura?

Hello, I saw many topics here about problems with Sonoma on different devices. Is Sonoma actually stable or it’s better to stick to Ventura and wait a bit longer?
