Hello just wanted to know if Mac os Monterey would run well on this MacBookpro and if the Nvidia drivers would work and are there any compromises to the GT 650m drivers ?

I have a 21.5 inch late 2013 iMac which I installed Sequoia on today, and when I enter my iCloud password it always says it is wrong, but I know I have my password right as I have Catalina installed on the same machine and is fine with iCloud. Any ideas?

Model: MacBook Air 2017
Graphics: Intel
Memory: 8 GB

I was running the official Apple Monterey update when my system suddenly became extremely slow. I attempted to resolve the issue by erasing the drive and reinstalling Monterey with “cmd + opt + R,” but that failed.

After several attempts, I finally managed to reinstall it on the third try, but unfortunately, the speed issue persisted.

I then decided to try installing macOS Sequoia using OCLP. The process was straightforward, and it worked well for some time. However, I experienced unexpected shutdowns and faced long boot times.

Thinking that Sequoia might be too demanding for my MacBook, I opted to reinstall Monterey, this time with OCLP. The experience was seamless, and for a while, my machine felt brand new. Sadly, after just a few hours of work, it encountered sudden shutdowns again and returned to being extremely slow.

I’m looking to find a solution. What could be causing these issues, and should I consider downgrading to another OS? I'm feeling quite frustrated with my system and would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed.

Kindly share your views, opinions 🙏🏻

Trying to upgrade from MacOS Big Sur to MacOS Sequioa on a 2012 Macbook Pro. Everything went fine until after choosing EFI boot, and then going through the steps to install and clicked install, an error popped up saying that "couldn't be installed, please restart application". I need this update to happen at any cost. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

So i heard a lot of stories of how 4chan hackers attacked government websites, but do they get caught for that? For example i watched a video about Aaron Swartz, who wanted to create a free source of info by stealing MIT journals. So the main question, do they got caught for crimes like hacking a government websites?

Boa! Estou enfrentando um problema ao conectar dois monitores no meu hackintosh onde um conectei através do adaptador DP-DVI e o outro através do cabo DVI, porém, assim que o sistema carrega mostram barras pretas e estremece a imagem. Hackintool mostra nos conectores ambos como DP. De referir que VRAM é de 2048mb.

Desde já agradeço por qualquer ajuda.

Merry Christmas everyone :) Just wanted to share a quick story of how I ended up "saving" my faulty 2015 MBP 13" with OCLP.

I was on Big Sur and I wanted to update to Monterey, but I would keep getting "An Error Occurred Loading the Update" at around 14 minutes (like this). I tried everything including the Monterey Installer from the App Store, Internet Recovery (cmd+option+R), resetting NVRAM and SMC, bootable USB installer, and safe mode, but nothing worked. It turns out I had a faulty memory module (PPM001) according to Apple diagnostics.

The solution was to place the SSD into the another 2015 MBP and install Ventura (or later) normally using OCLP and then transfer it back to the main MBP after it finished installing everything. I know I could technically install Sequoia but I just randomly chose Ventura and stuck with it. It is currently running buttery smooth so far! Here are some pics (Dropover link). It might crash soon due to the RAM, but hey, I get to use the latest OS's 🙏🏻

P.S. does anyone know what faulty RAM has to do with the installer halting at "14 minutes remaining"? I was able to install and run Big Sur without any problems before this. What exactly about the transition from Big Sur to Monterey causes the issue?

I have an iPad and I can’t find anything that works

Hey!

So I decided to jump from big sur to sequoia. The main reason is that I have an ipad mini and I want to be able to see my handwritten notes and also the latest note features. My notes say unsupported.

I made the upgrade I ran into a bunch of hiccups where the kernel_Task and MTL would use like 80% of CPU. I would reboot and patch a few times and things now work smoother. I also opened up the PC and put some new thermal paste and cleaned out my fans. I am not sure how well it has helped the PC but both were in rough condition.

My concerns/ Issues:
- Is there is anyway to make the computer snappier? ( Or is the the cost of the OS)
- Is there anyway I can speed up start up?
- Any settings or things I can change to really
- Anyway around being able to see hand drawn notes on lower OS?

THANK YOU!

With macOS no longer supporting AMD 7000 series GPUs since Apple stopped using them, and the complete transition from Intel to M-series CPUs, does this mean that newer versions of macOS can no longer be installed on non-Apple hardware using Dortania OpenCore?

Very interested in hearing and looking to make an x600 desk mini system to go head-to-head with the m4 Mac mini and see how it goes. I'm trying to use the integrated GPU.

I like the upgradeability. and I can always turn it back to a Windows machine if I don't end up enjoying it

Hello,

I have been running BigSur successfully for a long time, but I would like to attempt to update my OS to something newer.

I purchased an M.2 drive and have it installed. What I would like to do is once again attempt to upgrade using OpenCore.

My current OS is running (the install method that shall not be named) as it was the only way at the time I could get my OS up and running quickly after losing a week to failed OpenCore install.

However, I don't have time to dedicate days to this project alone, plus I have to keep my current OS running for work.

What would be the order of operations to allow me to work on upgrading when I have time, but avoid any downtime with my current OS, or risks of it not booting.

I also dual-boot to Windows.

Thank you!

my specs i5-4590 32gb ram 1tb ssd 500hdd igpu intel hd 4600 using the vga port rn, can switch to dvi dual link via a display port to dvi cable (my system has display port and my monitor has dvi)

so i installed ventura a few days ago and i got stuck with 4mb vram, upon patching with oclp the hackintosh did not boot and i had to revert the changes to when it was not patched. upon asking here someone said thay its not natively supported so i ended up erasing everything and started fresh with catalina.

i made the efi again by following dortania and some reddit posts and added these to my display properties settings

AAPL,ig-platform-idat 0300220D device-id at 12040000 disable-external -gpu at 01000000 disable-hdmi-patches at 01000000 <-- maybe don't use this if you're using HDMI? framebuf fer-patch-enable at 01000000 framebuffer-fbmem at 00000003 framebuffer-stolenmem at 00000004 framebuffer-uni fiedmem at 00000080

but now even in catalina i got booted with a 4mb vram and after changing the setting to the above mentioned, im getting stuck at a verbose screen with last line IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3

Hi guys, after the update i start to have fan problem. I'm using mac fans control for monitoring cpu heat it usually between 50-90. whenever turn it automatic or not use it at all, fan going crazy and making very disturbing noise. when i use the app for stabileze the fan work to 3000 rpm no noise but whenever i shake macbook air, fan turning to over run mode on again. idk what to do and what is the problem?

Hi, after the Upgrade to 2.2.0 the graphics are not accelerated any more. Logs says:

How can I install metallib manually?

For some reason even though my Bluetooth adapter works fine on the last supposed OS which is big sur, it's not working on Sonoma and then sequoia, if there's a fix or work around this would be very helpful

I did a clean install of Sequoia 15.2 on a 2014 Mac mini with 2.8 GHz Intel i5 CPU with Iris 5100 GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB NVME SSD. Everyone is saying that Sequoia performs better than Sonoma, but in my experience, the performance is noticeablely worse than on Sonoma 14.7. Boot times take 50 seconds on Sequoia compared to 30 seconds on Sonoma, and apps in Sequoia just take longer to open and feels less responsive. Does anyone else also feel Sequoia is slower?

I updated OCLP and then updated to the latest 15.1 update. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but now when I reboot the login screen appears for one second and the goes blank. I can’t get logged in as what I do get typed in of my password gets cleared out when it goes to the black screen.

Any ideas?

Cycle count is 986 cycles.

im kinda expecting this to get deleted, but oh well.

Performance: Ive personally had better performance on Monterey than: mountain lion, Sierra and Catalina. This is more than likely gonna be the case for every version, since they are simply more optimized Keep in mind I have a mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro.

"It runs terribly, what do I do!?!!?", try running post-install, it will fetch stuff like drivers, which can be crucial for remotely good performance.

"what if something goes wrong??" on startup, hold command and/or option + r to enter recovery, from here, you can reinstall the version of macOS that came with your system.

"how do I do this without usb??" set the smbios to advanced, then select any spoof model, then, fully install open-core and ignore the reboot. Now, download the installer. make a 16-gb partition of any disk and name it "MyVolume" with the format "OS X Extended (Journaled)", next, open terminal and paste the following:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ OS.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

now, replace "OS" in "OS.app" with the version of macOS your installing (e.g. Monterey), and if it has a space, do it like Big\ Sur, now, press enter. Restart your machine, then hold down option/alt, now, enter the EFI boot that has the open core logo. Then, click on "Install macOS ___" now, its pretty straight forward, in fact so straight forward you can do it without any help. Once your in the os, open open core, then click "post-install root patch".

If you have any other questions, leave them in the replies, I will help.
