Airplay hangs up on MacBook Pro 11,1

Hello, i have a problem with my MacBook, i want to play CoD Mobile with my friends and i dont want to buy a iPad just to get a bigger screen.

So what i do is just to mirror my iPhone 13 Pro to my Macbook via lightning cable. Sometimes i works flawlessly for a whole session like 30min or so and sometimes it just hangs up every 10 seconds, means the picture freezes the sound is still there and if you close the game the picture is still frozen but i recognizes that the picture turned.

Is there a fix for this or is the machine just to slow to do this.

Running OpenCore 2.0.2 with Sequoia 15.0 but the issue was also present in earlier versions.

Thx for your help in advance.

Sonoma not showing in boot options

Sonoma not showing in boot options

Hi all, I know this has been posted and beaten to a pulp before but I’m honestly at my whit‘s end. I spent about 5 hours perfecting my EFI and config plist to eventually get Sonoma to boot up on my 6700xt and 5800x. I was able to successfully get to the installer, wipe the partition I chose with apfs, and reboot. The installer rebooted into the screen with the apple logo, finished installing for ~20 mins or so, and rebooted again. This is where the fun begins. I clicked macOS installer again thinking I’d be fine, but unfortunately it just spat out a crap ton of code and rebooted. I tried this 3-4 more times before I realized I’m likely missing something. I have tried changing my config file (UEFI min and max date to -1, adding my spoofed modal MacPro7,1 in secure boot, and following the steps listed in the OpenCore documentation). Does anyone have anymore suggestions? My only thought is that OpenCore is throughly confused due to me having windows and Linux both installed as well… for the record, Linux doesn’t show up on that page, I have to take out the USB and boot into grub. Windows shows up though.

nvme shows as external?

I just ripped though a EFI creation for a Lenovo m910q, after some hang ups (like choosing the recommended iMac 18,1 smbios, which isn’t supported by sequoia 😣 and not including my usb map) i finally reached the installer.. to see my SN770 Black showing as an external drive?

It’s installing now.. but why is that?

VM? (Already works on host machine)

I’ve saved a copy of my hackintosh setup that works on my computer, but i’m wondering what the process is to use those files to spin up a VM instead, preferably on VMWARE workstation. I already have all the config files and confirms it works for my hardware. I looked it up and I couldn’t find much info on using a preexisting hackintosh install.

Thank you guys!

MacBook Pro Mid 2015 running Sequoia 15.0.1

Sequoia running smoothly on a 2012 iMac

Sequoia running smoothly on a 2012 iMac

It runs like Catalina, it is very smooth, the only one bug that I’ve seen in Sequoia is the video background becoming laggy with a different screen saver (doesn’t happen if the background is also set as screen saver)

Upgraded directly from Monterey and reinstalled patches.

Mind blowing how Apple just decided to leave a perfectly capable machine of running a 2024 operating system in a 2019 operating system.

Randomly shut down web browser (Brave)

Currently running Ventura 13.6.9 on OCLP 2.0.2 on mid 2024 MBP i5, 8gig ram.

I had 1.5 OCLP and this never happened to me until I updated to 2.0.2 (the promp told me to). There are random times where my Brave Browser (Only one tab, YouTube or whatever). just crashes out of nowhere whenever I press space bar to pause a video or when I use sticky note, I used cmd+C to copy something and it crashes.

No other application used. Anyone else got this issue after updating to 2.0.2?

Switching from hackintosh to Linux

Basically I can’t get past an issue to get macOS stable and it’s not worth the hassle for me any more I’m just gonna use my mad mini.

At the moment I have windows and macOS installed and open core asks which OS to boot. I want to switch the 2tb macOS partition to Linux, is it as simple as just instal Linux over what I have? I’m really conscious of breaking windows bc I’ve got a lot of software on there I don’t feel like reinstalling.

Any help appreciated!!

For anyone wondering, the issue with macOS (Sonoma 14.4) is randomly the screen will go black and the only way to reboot is to remove the battery, I spent weeks troubleshooting but I gave up

I used Jessie’s recommended process for the 2017 5K iMac 18,3 in the video below to get my machine up to date tonight. I’ve had a lot of issues updating it using a bootable USB thumb drive, but pushing the update through the normal Mac update process worked like a charm!

Black screen while using Mac native Screen Sharing?

I used OpenCore to install Sequoia to my old Mac Mini and since then, whenever my laptop accesses the Mac Mini through Screen Sharing, it only displays a black screen - though I can still control it.

Sequoia just got a recent update and when I installed that - but before OpenCore was "fetching kdk database" to patch that update - I got picture working again on my laptop.

But after OC finished the process, I get a black screen only again.

Can anyone offer any insight as to what might be going on? I can provide further details if needed

Thanks in advance!

OpenCore freezing during installation boot-up - 0.9.1

OpenCore freezing during installation boot-up - 0.9.1

I’ve been trying to get the installation media to work, and recently, I have. It’s been freezing on this last message, otherwise if I have ethernet hooked up, that’d be the last message before freezing. I’ve tried to patch the iGPU mostly, as I think that’s the culprit, but definitely not. I’m using VGA, but with the WhateverGreen patching guide, it said that my Intel HD 2500 Graphics is natively supported, and as DisplayPort connecters, and HDMI only. I disabled the second and third one (which within the identifying the iGPU, it has 2, 3, and 4 only. ???). Sorry if I’m not saying enough information.

Best Way to Upgrade to next OS OpenCore Mac Pro 5,1: App Store vs. USB Boot?

I’m currently running OpenCore with Big Sur, and I’m considering upgrading to Sonoma or Sequoia. Is there any difference between:

1. Downloading and installing the update through the Mac App Store, then using Post-Root Patcher to fix anything missing, or 2. Using the OpenCore USB maker and installing through the boot selector? 

I’m asking because I’ve had issues in the past with my mid-2012 Mac Pro (5,1), where the USB keyboard or mouse wouldn’t work when going through the usb is taller

New build configuration suggestion

New build configuration suggestion

Hello Everyone, Trying to build a new hackintosh. Going with RX 6600 now with intel 12900K. May put additional nvidia card for gaming in windows. I've done my part of research and picked these components. Please let me know for incompatibilities.

I believe internal wifi might not work(As of now, planning to go with tethering from mobile) in future may upgrade to Fenvi T919( still I am not sure where will I get this in India)

Looking for your suggestions/recommendation. Mainly on better gpu cards in budget (RX 6900 is way too costly with my budget).

Disabling “Built in Smart Card Ability”

Recently upgraded my 2011 MBP to Monterey 12.7.6, on El Capitan OS I was able to use a common access card to access necessary websites. But since updating I haven’t been able to access those websites because of the built in smart card reading ability. I was reading that there may be no way to disable on OS 10.15.xx and above. Is this true? Is there some root patch I can install to disable the smart card reading ability?

How Can I Check for Malware or Trojans on macOS Big Sur?

I’m using a MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur, which I downloaded from a third-party site. Everything was fine until recently, when I noticed the Photos app (along with a few others) opening on their own, even though I’m pretty sure I didn’t touch them. Now, I’m starting to feel a bit concerned that there could be some kind of malware or trojan lurking around on my system.

What is the most STABLE OS for MacPro 5,1

I've been using OpenCore for years on my MacPro 5,1 with a Kingston SSD and an RX580 (8GB RAM). Recently, I upgraded to macOS Sonoma using OCLP 2.0.2, but it’s been a nightmare. The live wallpaper in Sonoma was so corrupted that it crashed my entire desktop environment. I even tried upgrading to Sequoia, but that didn’t help, so I did a full factory reset. Unfortunately, every OS I’ve tried has been buggy. I need Monterey or later for work-related software, but here are the issues I’ve faced so far:

  • Monterey: Major Wi-Fi issues, couldn’t get it to work at all (seems to be a common problem). Strangely, Wi-Fi works perfectly fine on Mojave.
  • Ventura: Bluetooth was unstable and unusable. Again, no issues with Bluetooth on Mojave.
  • Sonoma: Desktop issues caused by live wallpaper corruption, wouldn’t wake from sleep, and overall poor performance.
  • Sequoia: Similar problems to Sonoma, plus Wi-Fi issues.

Any suggestions?

Side note: during my fresh install I needed to use both High Sierra and Mojave. WOW I am feeling like the new OS have been a downgrade. The Older OS felt cleaner, simpler, and higher quality

Returning to Hackintosh - Got Problems

I'm trying to hackintosh a machine that I know is a known good machine because I used it as a Hackintosh between 2021-2022. However I can't seem to get it running. In fact, I can't even get video out on the OC boot screen. The USB boots but there's nothing there. Just blank. The weird thing is, the monitor doesn't go to sleep for lack of output. It just stays blank.

Radeon 7800xt

x570 MEG ACE

AMD 5800x

Like I said, I know this works because I ran it almost a year on MacOS with zero problems. I'm just kind of out of touch with how things may have changed on the OC side of things but I think I did I this right? Although I guess I didn't because the MFer would boot if I did lol.

Don't worry about the serial, MLB, etc - I generated them at random with GenSMBIOS to just see if I could even get it to boot. These aren't anybodies real digits and I don't intend to use them.

Stuck on Prebooter -

Hello, this is my first hackintosh I'm trying to make. I made the EFI folder following the dortania documentation.

This is the log file: https://pastebin.com/tgyQwdHS

And this is my config.plist: https://pastebin.com/GQr611ug

At the end of the logs it says:

I guessed that may be because of the graphics card and I tried several stuff, adding a SSDT-GPU-SPOOF.aml to ACPI didn't worked

Those are my specs by the way:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU - Kaby Lake

RMISMBus.kext Not Being Loaded

VoodooSMBus is just for the i801 SMBus controller in the PCH and won't talk to the touchpad on its own, so I'm not surprised that it is attaching. I am surprised that the version can't be found though. I am guessing it might be an older device which is not supported by the driver unfortunately. I don't have a good way to test that though.
