Hackintosh iServices not working
Image
I recently set up my hackintosh with Mac OS catalina 10.15.4 and everything works fine except iMessage and FaceTime. I followed the OpenCore guide and I have tried all the fixes like changing Mac serial numbers, snUUID etc. I also inserted my MAC address in my config and fixing en0. Is there any way I can get them to work? (Ps. app store and icloud work fine but airdrop keeps crashing) My specs are : Amd ryzen 2700 16 gb ram (3000 mhz) Asus b450-m mobo RX 590 gpu submitted by /u/panosgv [link] [comments] [► Source]
Can I use an SSDT USB .aml patch file from Clover in OpenCore?
Image
I'm running a Gigabyte Aorus z390 Ultra on OpenCore 0.6.1with Catalina. I've been trying to get my head into USB mapping and have been battling along with USBmap to create a new USBports.kext but have yet to succeed. When I restart to map the second set of ports they don't appear even though NVRAM appears to be working ok. I do however have a .aml for the USB ports from when I used Clover and Mojave. Can I use this with OpenCore and Catalina? I worked great under the old system. Don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to! Thanks. Edit: (I have read through the Clover conversion guide, but I didn't make this clear and I'm unsure where to add it in my config.plist to just try it!) submitted by /u/graphnic123 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Headset microphone
Image
I want to use the (old) Apple in ears with my Hackintosh. Or basically any headphones with an integrated mic. I‘m on a Z390 Designare and I have two separate plugs for mic input and audio output. So I got an adapter merging both into a single „4 pin“ cable but I can’t get the Microphone to work. I don’t know what the problem is, maybe I didn’t get the config.plist or maybe this is a common issue that can be solved with different settings or third party programms. I only know, the microphone is in fact working. How do I go about solving this? submitted by /u/da_fabulous_dude [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hackintosh vs Mac Mini 2020 for iOS Development?
Image
I have been developing Android apps on my Windows i5 4th gen 8GB machine and it runs fine. Now, I am thinking to dive into iOS development. And for that I need a Mac machine. I was thinking of going with Mac Mini 2020 i5 model but the only thing that concerns me is the lack of graphics card in it. I have read somewhere that Hackintosh is not very reliable in terms of XCode and all. I've never used an apple product before so can't decide which one to go for. Is a hackintosh (same price segment as mac mini) better or should I go with Mac Mini 2020 i5 for iOS dev mainly? submitted by /u/Nested_If [link] [comments] [► Source]
About SMBIOS, serial numbers and models
Image
As of right now I have a pretty comfortable install. MacOS itself is completely vanilla and about 70% of my work has been done in the ACPI space of my laptop where I've been creating my own SSDT's to take care of the legwork. I'm actually working on a fork of rehabman's HP Envy patches to convert the whole process to OpenCore and to use tools and extensions that are being maintained. With this in mind, I figured I should get my shit together and ask some questions that could save me the headache later. In the original patch, the SMBIOS used was for the MacBookPro11,1. While this was fine and all for most cases, back in 2015 I decided to become stupid as fuck and drop big cash on a CTO laptop from HP. The processor in my system is an i7-4720HQ. Looking at the models on EveryMac I saw that the 11,1 CPU's were a little below my spec, so I decided to opt for the MacBookPro11,2 SMBIOS as the i7-4870HQ is close enough to my configuration. But, when generating the ser...
Z490: High Sierra installer stuck at "end randomseed"
Image
Hello! I recently built a Z490 computer with the following specs: - Intel i7-10700 with an iGPU - MSI Z490-A PRO - 2x Corsair 8GB 3200Mhz RAM I created the High Sierra installer with Unibeast using the guide on tonymacx86, but when booting the installer from the USB, it gets stuck at "end randomseed+++++++". When booting the same USB on a H97 computer, it works fine and the install is successful. Things I've already tried: - Configuring BIOS according to MSI hackintosh guides online - Applying all the possible Aptio fixes separately - Applying the Free2000 fix - Shuffling RAM sticks around in the computer (Both in either As or Bs or one stick in either the first or the second slot) - The KALSR fix in the Dortania guide, got a slide value of 128, but didn't work. I read online that this is a memory problem, but none of the proposed fixes or .efi files seem to work. Has anyone had this problem on an MSI Z490 system, and if so, what was the fix? Any help would be gr...

Hackintosh kernal task running high
Image
hi all, i paid someone to build a hackintosh for me and have had some problems since i started to use it but can't seem to get any help from the guy who built it. Kernal Task seems to be running very high and it’s causing the PC to lag. Each time i restart the computer it seems to clear it up only to come up after 5-10mins of reopening the same apps. As you can see, the apps are not intensive and shouldn't cause any lag. I'm also having issues with bluetooth (external dongle) where it keeps searching but not finding any devices and audio output is not detected when i plug a headphone in. has anyone experienced similar issues or is able to help?

Oddly slow boot sequence
Image
Hello there, So, I recently built a Ryzentosh, and I’m pretty glad I nailed it without any major trouble. It features a R5 3600 and a Gigabyte Radeon 5500 XT OC on a x570 ASUS Prime-P mobo. I handle my dual boot using 2 NVME M.2 SSDs, and the whole system is boosted with 16Go (2x8) of 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX. While this puppy is crazy fast booting on Windows, such is not the case when booting MacOS. I use Catalina with OpenCore 5.9, and I can’t help thinking it should boot up faster. First, I have to wait an excessive amount of time before the OpenCore GUI appears. Then, the OpenCore verbose takes well over a minute to get done before I can finally access my MacOS desktop.. I thought of turning off the “verbose” mode in the config.plist (which I finally didn’t do by fear I’d lose control upon what’s going on) and looked around for any “delay” setting or something. Without success. Could you guys help me out with this ? It will probably not appear like a big issue for some...

HP elitebook 840 G1 Hackintosh Catalonia. Convert Clover efi to OpenCore

I have a HP elitebook 840 G1 running MacOS X Catalina smoothly on Clover efi with triple boot to Windows 10 and Linux. Now I want to convert over to OpenCore as it has better reliability issues but there is one thing. I don't know how to configure OpenCore.

Everything works as expected except OpenCore. Sidenote: linux not detected on OpenCore but I couldn't find if OpenCore doesn't support linux or if it is a misconfiguration.

HEVC transcoding app
Image
Hi, I've been using Handbrake so far and it works relatively well. However, when transcoding, it only uses the GPU (RX580 in this case) for the encoding portion only but the decoding, filtering and all the workflow before encoding is done by CPU. Anyone knows of a transcoding app that does use GPU to decode and encode? For example, converting h264 to h265 videos. I do have support for videotoolbox and I have set my IGPU to headless. I did need to use iMacPro1,1 SMBios to get thing properly working though. Thanks. submitted by /u/f80_n00b [link] [comments] [► Source]
AppleALC causing high cpu usage of kernel_task and no output on some reboots
Image
I am currently running macOS Catalina on OpenCore on my HP Pavillion X360 11-u112tu with the ALC 288 and layout-id 13. I've tried the two other layout-ids, and only the microphone works and the outputs show up, but there is no sound through the speakers or headphone jack. The sound output was previously working fine, but suddenly has stopped working and along with that, kernel_task CPU usage has jumped from >5% to around 80% with AppleALC enabled. I have tried many different things from using SSDTTime to disable native HPET as well as the AppleALC delay without any solution. The HDMI Audio still works fine though, and the iGPU is the HD 620 is using device-id 1659. According to some sites that I've found, it could be an ACPI issue, but disabling native HPET has supposedly been the fix for that. Currently, the only clue that I've found is that when looking up HDEF in IORegistryExplorer, the first line says "acpi-device" = "IOACPIPlatformDevice is not seria...
Kernel panics/freezes with OC 0.6.1/Catalina 10.5.7

This is my 2nd hackintosh after a 4 year break. So I got back in the game and built a hack after getting back into this sub and reading for several weeks and picking a parts list.

Solved: Wake issues on AMD dGPUs with Radeon Freesync
Image
So I've been struggling with wake issues on my Hackintosh (two Hackintosh's actually) that had everything working except for wake issues. It sleeps just fine but waking from a standby or hibernate state would lead to a blank screen. It looks like things start up ok but for some reason the screen doesn't wake. Turns out that if you have a 4K monitor with Radeon Freesync turned on, the monitor fails to reinitialize after sleep (standby or hibernate). After much debugging, this was my last idea and it worked! Disabling Freesync on the monitor solved the wake issue. I had this same issue on an Asus H470-itx as well as a Gigabyte Vision D. Given it was happening on both mobos I felt it was either my monitor or my dGPU. ​ Anyways, I thought I'd share in case others were facing similar issues.
