Nice to meet you all, have a question.

Did anybody have success with OCLP on external TB SSD enclosure, which connected to TB dock? I know about successful usage external TB enclosure, which connected directly to Mac, but what about docks?

Thanks!

I have OpenCore Legacy Patcher v2.1.2 running on a MacPro6,1 (aka the Late 2013 trashcan Mac Pro) allowing it to run Sequoia 15.1.1. Except for a few oddities, most related to the graphics 3D acceleration, everything runs very acceptably. Super kudos to the dev team maintaining this; love you all.

Every time I restart, when I get back to the desktop all the apps open at shutdown start up and generally try to return to their positions. Once the last app starts, they all hide, complete with genie effect as they swoop down to the dock, and I'm left with an empty desktop. I can click on all of them in the dock and they all pop back up where they are supposed to be like nothing happened. It's been like this for a while, through multiple updates to both MacOS and OCLP.

Am I the only one seeing this?
Did I flip a setting somewhere I don't know about?
Is there anything I can do to make it stop?

i have i3 10100f 16 gb ram rx 5700 xt and i dont know how to install mac os or even from where and i do not know what kind of macos i need and what i need other to install it , please help

I'm on Macos Monterey and my cursor can't click but can move tried everything I even reinstalled the operating system What should I do I'm thinking of now using Open core legacy patcher maybe it could fix the issue I'm on a MacBook air 2017 I've also tried a wireless mouse If anyone knows a fix please help

Hi, I'm currently attempting hackintoshing a HP 260 G1 mini , it has an Intel core i3 4030u with an HD4400, this hardware was dropped in ventura but I've seen that it is possible to patch it with OCLP, but when I installed the root patch and rebooting it would just get stuck at random during boot. My current SMBIOS is a MacbookPro14,1, the opencore guide suggested the Macmini7,1 smbios on NUCs but I couldn't get it to boot at first, I added the no_check_compat boot arg and it booted but the installar errored out saying that it couldn't retrieve info about the hardware I was using. I'll try my best to try every solution.

TL,DR : I tried patching an HD 4400 with OCLP in ventura but it gets stuck midboot without visible errors

Model Name: HP 260 G1 mini CPU: i3-4030U GPU: HD4400 Ethernet: Realtek GbE RAM: 8GB SMBIOS: MacBookPro14,1

Sorry for my bad English and explanation, it isn't my first language.

Anyway for the regular MBP 2012 with maximized specs (16 GB, SSD) Monterey is the last uncompromising OS in sense of performance.

I ran into a big problem.

Yesterday I did the hackintosh properly.

But I deleted one of the KEXT files and restarted again.

But when the device was turned on, the Hackintosh would not boot anymore.

I tried to reinstall, but when the setup came up, I went into Disk Utility, but it didn't show any drivers to install.

I tried to do this again, but this page comes up.

I don't even have Windows on this laptop right now.

What should I do? Is there a way to completely erase the Hackintosh now?

So, i want to hackintosh my not-so-shitty laptop just for fun. Is there way to install macOS on it? CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7730U iGPU: AMD Barcelo Touchpad: Elan Ethernet: No Wifi & Bluetooth: AMD MTRZ616 (with steps it possible)

When starting the installer from MacOS Montery or higher (tested montery, ventura and sequoia) with verbose boot, the system reboots at the AppleACPICPU step, if i don't enable verbose boot it just sits there at the apple logo with an empty progress bar

OpenCore version: 1.0.2
CPU: Intel Core i5-7200U
Ram: 8GB
SSD: 256GB
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce 940MX (disabled)
Secure Boot: Disabled
SMBIOS: MacBookPro14,2 (Montery to Ventura), MacBookPro15,4 (Sequoia)

Just to add, the installer does start on MacOS Big Sur (11.7.10) and older

Hi there! Before getting into the discussion, I wanna say I’m a fresh tyro to this subreddit. At first glance, cracking MacOS on devices other than Macbooks looks interesting. However, I wonder what are the reasons behind doing so. You may just run Windows or Linux-based OSes. As far as I am concerned, MacOS has good security features. But is it actually worth or what are the points of cracking it? I’m open to all discussion. Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi OCLP folks, I have a MacMini5,3, mid-2011 server, stock standard, non-metal Intel HD3000 graphics, 8GB RAM, no SSD. Running High Sierra.

Recently attempted to upgrade via OCLP to Sequoia, and while it installed - there were some issues that made it unusable. Even after installing the root patches etc.

My main issue is with my non-metal graphics. All the menus were laggy, and Apple Remote Desktop / Screen Sharing does not work (just get a black screen on client).

I'm OK with the spinning HDD speed issues (taking forever to boot and index etc). However, the lack of ARD is a show stopper for me.

Can anyone weigh in any experience on which would be the latest OS version for a non-metal machine of this vintage, which should run "OK"-ish, and most importantly, have functioning ARD/Screen Sharing support?

Any insight would be most appreciated.

Hello all,

I recently successfully patched Monterey onto my MacPro 3,1. Everything including the Nvidia metal and wifi works fine, however the bluetooth icon has a little cross through it, and I can't turn it on in settings. Is there any way of fixing this i'm unaware of? I've tried doing an NVRAM reset already, so I don't know what could be the problem. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the root patches.

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I can't do it on the iMac itself given the Wi-Fi issue, how do I do this on another mac to basically set the flash drive up?

Edit: I've note idea how it's just no longer seeing wifis nearby, I'm hoping an opencore install would fix it plus the whole system all got laggy anyway

Hi all,

What are peoples experiences of running OCLP and Sonoma or later on a 2017 MacBook Pro?

Currently my Mac runs supported Ventura and I am wondering when it is unsupported from 2025, what to do. I've run Sequoia on my 2014 MBP and it ran like a dogs dinner, so I downgraded to Sonoma which ran much better.

Thanks in advance!

Dear people of Reddit, as my old Monterey is finally out of support for updates 🥹🥹🥹,, I was wondering the path I should take from now on. I wanna know about your experiences on MacOS Sequoia with OCLP. Does it worth the hassle? Does it run smoothly? What problems should I expect and things that might not work well? My mac is bare minimum specs. Core i5 8GB ram. 1TB ssd ( upgraded).

I installed macOS ventora on my surface laptop go and I fix Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but battery didn’t show up What should I do for battery?

Basically its a hp notebook laptop with Windows 11 and admin accounts all have passwords, can access a user account but cannot edit group policy, use cmd prompt, powershell doesnt have enough permissions, lusrmgr is blocked among other things, its also on a domain, up till now I've succeeded with using the recovery mode and then the utilman cmd replacer but now the recovery cmd prompt loads into X:\boot drive and both c and d drives cant be accessed from recovery, even though they can be accessed in usual windows but cant be edited, additionally they are both in NTFS and suspiciously, whenever i go into F11 in safe mode a cmd runs (cant see what it does) and then the the recovery mode opens, I cant understand how to hack it.

(Note:There is no mouse for some reason but i get by with using tab, also I can access X:\ drive's registry editor but not the other's. Also there is no option to factory reset it either. USB's are blocked usually but can be used in X:\ Drive.)

is this common? done my first "openpatch" went all good. erased the sticks to do another one on a different mac, didn't managed to complete an install. deleted the first installer downloaded, tried again, tried to download another os. not working till i got a new usb. went fine this time. tried this stick on a 3rd mac. same issues. and temporarily run out of new ones lol

Today I installed macOS ventora on my surface laptop go, and battery Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is not working on it. How can I fix that?

Whenever I try to watch any Music Video on Apple Music it lags like crazy. I had to record this on my phone since Apple Music has DRM and it doesn't show the vid if you screen record.

After reading multiple threads about people seeing great improvements after upgrading to sequoia, I took the chance and I upgraded on my 2013 13 inch MacBook Pro i7 with 16 gigs of RAM (the max allowable) along with a 1TB SSD so trust my machine is mint.

The performance decreased. It was not faster for me on my machine. It was slower.right clicking on desktop appeared to be snappy but overall performance was not. Everything ran slowER. Still performed decent but definitely not better than Sonoma on my machine.

After about three days, it was unbearable compared to what I was used to. so I downgraded back to Sonoma.

I upgraded my MBP 2015 to Sequoia 15.1.1 and run all the post install. I used it for a day and powered off. However after powering on again I am experiencing flickering screen. Non of the regular solutions offered online has solved the issue. I want to return to 15.1 but I have no idea how to. Any direction would be helpful

So I want to install either Sonoma or Sequoia on a 2012 MacBook Pro with 4gb ram and 128gb of storage. It has an Intel core 15 processor.

How would I do this? It's my first time really thinking about doing it and I don't want to mess anything up and possibly break something.

It runs macOS High Sierra at the moment. I want something more modern hopefully good for daily use.

I bought a 2016 MAcbook pro with macOS Monterey installed. Monterey expired last month which means Microsoft word doesn’t work anymore unless I upgrade. . So, I installed MacOS Sonoma through OCLP. 1 day after installment, My MacBook cant survive without being continuously plugged in. 3 days after, my MacBook cant charge past 3%. 1 week after, My MacBook battery died. It cant charge anymore. What should I do.

Hi, is there a solution to the problem with switching graphics on mac book pro 8.2? Mac OS runs with discrete graphics, gSwitch doesn't help, maybe someone has encountered it?
