Hi all.

As the subject suggests, I have a mid2014 15" Retina MBP that I'm thinking about pushing to Monterey, and I wonder if anyone has successfully done this. The reason for this is that updates to software I use are only supporting macOS 12 now. I work in music production, so it's (fairly) important to stay up-to-date with these things. That being said, it's obviously critical that there are no possible issues with CoreAudio or with the Thunderbolt functionality.

Importantly, does installing this update require reinstalling the whole machine, or would it install "over" the current OS?

I notice on the OpenCore github site that it lists the mid-2014 15" Retina MBP as model 11,3. However my model number is 11,2. I have confirmed that my model is indeed mid-2014 by running the serial number. Apple's website lists BOTH these model numbers for the late-2013 and mid-2014 15". Not sure then which OpenCore installer would be best to use.

I appreciate any advice I can get, thanks

2017 MacBook Air 13 inch, 8GB Ram,

I have been following youtube tutorials on how to install macOS Sequaia and all of them used the download macOS installer option on opencore patcher, but I have to Use existing MacOS installer because downloading from the macOS installer always does not finish and results in an error. I copied the link for macos Sequoia by the download macOS installer option and pasted to Safari to download the package. I then used existing macOS installer on Opencore patcher after unpacking the package. Then instead of verifying the package first like how the tutorials show, it takes me straight to select macOS installer and select local disk with no verification. I have been struggling to install Sequaia for the past 3 days because it does not want to download from download macos installer and I am suffering a mental breakdown, please please please help

Hi everybody,

I have 20 Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017 iMacs at my school that I need to upgrade as adobe photoshop told me it was recommended to use a later OS than my iMac can support. Is there a way to upgrade those iMacs without erasing the hard drive as it's full of students files? Thanks in advance

Hello, I am running Mac OS Monterey in Proxmox VE. The VM has 15GB of RAM and the host CPU an Intel N95 with integrated graphics.

I have Open Core configured as a Mac Pro and in the memory tab I get an alert about improper RAM configuration. Is it possible to trick it into thinking that RAM is optimally installed?

I have an odd one. When I have been doing the OCLP install, and other Options selection, the screen will remain black until I close the lid, then when I reopen it, it springs to life. Can anyone shed any light on this? FYI - it doesn't do this with no OCLP installed, just Monterey, it is a Macbook Pro Retina 2015.

Good day Imac15.1 OSX 15

Will not wake from sleep, have to restart machine

Any ideas?

First time using Open core and not sure what would be best for my situation. Want something that will run smoothly and still be up to date. Seems like sequoia is a hit or miss with a lot of people so not sure if I want to go straight to that and risk having a bad experience. If possible lmk what you would recommend.

I have 2 MacBook Pros mid 2012 both varies in specs non retina has a sandisk 500gb SSD and 4gb Ram. Retina MacBook Pro has 240gb sandisk SSD 8 gb of ram. Both are running Ventura. Updated OCLP to 2.3.1. Retina MacBook Pro lost sound as the non retina MacBook Pro did not. Currently moving files to usb to reinstall operating system. I’ll be updating post as soon as I get OS reinstalled.

I'm asking because oclp 2.2.0 made the mac unbootable, I had to reinstall. So is this the case with root patching big sur on 2.3.1 ?

Hi OCLP redditors - I am hoping someone can help me here. I had this iMac running 15.3.2 without issue. I took the 15.4 update - and that is where things went wrong. I have the latest OCLP (2.3.1) and root patches are installed - and the Opencore booter is installed on the fusion drive without issue. No matter what I have tried - my UI locks up within a few seconds after logging in - it sure feels like a graphics issue - but I am not sure. Things I have tried so far:

Regenerate installer USB using OCLP 2.3.1. Re-install MacOS. Tried booting from the USB as well as the MacHDD. I have tried resetting PRAM. Safe boot DOES work ok - allowing me to at least get in and run OCLP changes as needed. However, every time my UI locks up right after logging in no matter what I have tried. I would hate to be forced to clean-install - as I have several licensed programs that I depend on.

Is this a known issue right now? Any ideas on what I can try to get the iMac running 15.4 properly? Thanks!

I have a nice late 2015 27" mac running opencore with sequoia. Works great! I would like a little more preformance out of the old girl by moving to a SSD drive. So far I have tried many canned methods to clone the drive, but no luck. I am thinking my issue is trying to clone a 1TB(with only 140gb used) and force into a 500gb drive. Thoughts or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Apparently it's a known issue. Loading the OS stops after a while.
Don't know if it has been fixed with version 2.3.1 but I need help going back to a previous state.
No backups.
Didn't find a fix for it yet and the OCLP troubleshooting guide doesn't help.

Thanks.

Hello! I will try to explain this as simply as possible, I bought a MacBook Pro 15inch 2014. As you can imagine it won’t let me download anything or update anything. How can I update it to the latest update? (If that’s a thing). I don’t have lots of money so don’t want it to be a waste. Also as mentioned I am dyslexic and do best with lists, so I’d really love if someone could explain in steps :) thanks for reading!!!

do i just apply update in sys.settings or do i have to install from oclp?

Hi,

I have updated my opencore legacy patcher to version 2.3.1 and I am trying to update my Imac 2013 (14,2) from Sequoia 14.2 to 14.4 but there is a loop downloading the update.

Sometimes the download completes, but machine does not restart to install updates. If I manually restart the computer it does not show any progress of installation, it just come back to screen to login and I have to download update again and it keeps going on and on.

Since yesterday I am trying to update this machine.

I have another machine, a macbook pro retina display 2015, and the update when fine.

anyone else having issues with the Passwords app after updating? Safari also crashes when the Passwords prompt shows up to autofill my password. I have a MacBook Pro 14.2 (2017 model). please help!

today i successfully installed my first hackintosh on a ryzen 5 3600 + 1050ti (+1030 technically but that card is not even connected to the monitor). everything worked "fine" until i decided to finally get the oclp patches for gpu acceleration. the patch installed without any issue, however upon reboot system became unbearably slow. i could see that instead of the generic NVIDIA (0x10de) placeholders the gpus were actually recognized, i could change the display refresh rate, transparency appeared and animations worked "fine". however despite that, the actual system feels as if its running at 5 fps. everything is EXTREMELY slow and outright unusable. reverting the patch made system actually responsive again, however obviously all the previously mentioned benefits went away. if needed, i can provide a video. have anybody else experienced this? any help appreciated!!

I still have a great Running MacBook Pro 17’ from 2010. I use OpenCore and have macOS Monterey Version 12.7.4 running. I wanted to Upgrade OpenCore, but the Root Patch doesn’t renew because somehow a minor Security Update to 12.7.6 is pending in the background.

Question: Can I do this minor Security Update without F…in up the whole Install?

(Monterey seems the best stable system for this old Laptop, am I right? Or would you scrap the small Update and jump to Sonoma right away?)

I’d appreciate your opinion and thank you in advance.

I’ve installed Sequoia on my mid 2010 iMac; It works fine after it loads everything but I have to reset the PRAM every time I turn it on otherwise it won’t boot. Any ideas on what’s the issue? Hardware is: i3-530; Quadro K2100m (flashed); 1TB ssd I have two other partitions with mountain lion and high sierra.
