I had a MacBook pro 2015 spoofed as an 2016 MacBook pro. I went to go un spoof it and before I did signed out of the apple account. Now for some reason the old spoofed device still appears and the “remove from account” does nothing. Its sitting there like a dead terd how can I remove it.

Hi everyone,

I’m posting this because I haven’t found any existing post describing this exact issue, and I’ve already tried a lot of things before writing this post.

I’m trying to create a macOS Mojave (10.14.6) installer USB using OpenCore Legacy Patcher, but the process always fails with Killed: 9, no matter what I do.

I’ll attach a screenshot of the error.

Target Mac (the one I want to install Mojave on)

MacBook Pro 17-inch Mid 2009

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT and 9400 m

RAM: 8 GB (upgraded)

Storage: 256 GB SATA SSD (upgraded)

Original HDD removed, and there was no macos installation on it because i ve kinda messed up in the past with, ending up installing windows 10 then linux mint on it, with no macos leftovers, but that was years ago.

Machine is fully functional (USB boot, disk detection, etc.)

My goal OS:

macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (tried to install high sierra with high sierra patcher but got an error too will trying to create it)

Host Mac (used to create the installer)

MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon M1)

macOS Tahoe (latest)

USB-C only (using USB-C → USB-A adapter, tested with different adapters and different USB Disks)

What I’m trying to do

Create a bootable Mojave USB installer

Using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (latest version)

Then boot the 2009 MBP via OpenCore and install Mojave

What i ve tried

Firstly, created a bootable OS X El Capitan USB successfully after downloading .app file with Mist

Installer launches correctly on the target Mac

Installation fails with “This copy of the installer cannot be verified”

Tried all known date workarounds from Recovery:Setting system date back to 2016 / 2017 / 2018 Installing completely offline Disabling SIP

Even with the correct date and no network, El Capitan still refuses to install

Then, while using High Sierra Patcher (failed) :

Installer image is restored correctly to the USB key

During the next step (copying System/Installation/Packages), the process fails

Errors encountered:

cp: /Volumes/USB/... No such file or directory

This happens consistently, even after:

Fully erasing the USB (GPT + HFS+) multiple times, with terminal and disk utility

Launching the patcher from /Applications (not from the DMG)

Ejecting all mounted images

Rebooting the host Mac

Finally, with OCLP :

Using gibMacOS to download and build the Mojave installer (.app)

Installer download and creation attempts (chronological)

First, I tried downloading macOS Mojave using Mist on my Apple Silicon Mac.

The Mojave download failed and never completed successfully.

I then tried OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP).

Mojave did not appear in the installer list, even with “Show older versions” enabled.

After that, I used gibMacOS to download macOS Mojave.

gibMacOS successfully downloaded the full macOS Mojave 10.14.6 installer

A valid Install macOS Mojave.app (~6 GB) was created.

I then used this installer with OpenCore Legacy Patcher:

Selected Create macOS Installer

Chose Use existing macOS installer

Selected the Mojave .app

Selected the USB drive

During installer creation, the USB drive is erased and prepared correctly, but when createinstallmedia starts, the process always fails with the same error:

Killed: 9

This error happens consistently, regardless of the installer source, the usb drive, the USB A to USB C, adaptater or the USB C port used.

At this point, I’m out of ideas. I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance for your help.

YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING LIERS LIKE YOU SAID IN WINTER TAHOE SUPPORT WILL BE RELEASED WITH VERSION 3.0.0 GTA SIX WILL COME OUT BEFORE SO GET YOUR FUCKING VERSION RELEASED OR I AM REPORTING YOU TO DCMA GROUP

I have a 2009 iMac with Ventura installed via OpenCore. I'm having trouble selecting text in Word. A large, completely black selection appears, making it impossible to see what's underneath or the surrounding text. Is there a setting I can fix this?

I'm refurbishing a Mac Pro 5,1 right now, which obviously has a lot of space to add drives. My plan right now is to try triple booting:

• MacOS 12 on an NVMe/PCI SSD
• Fedora 43 on a SATA SSD in Bay-1
• Windows 10 on another SATA SSD in Bay-2

Is there anything special I need in order to do this? I feel like most of the guides I've seen have revolved around trying to dual-boot multiple OSes on the same drive—which sounds like more of a pain in the ass—but if I'm installing these other OSes on separate drives then it's pretty straight forward, yeah?

Boa tarde, até postei em outra thread, porém acabei enxergando a oportunidade de pegar (comprar) um iMac 2013 i5 quad core funcionando normalmente. Como criar uma mídia de recuperação do atual OS (Catalina) caso ocorra algum erro de aplicação do OCLP (pretendo atualizar para o Sequoia 15.7 para poder publicar na App Store quando entrarem as novas regras em abril)? No caso de lentidão, desempenho etc., estou ciente (caso funcione), porém vou usar bem pouco (3 a 4 vezes no mês, chutando bem alto), basicamente mesmo para publicar, então não seria algo para o dia a dia.

Good afternoon, I even posted in another thread, but I ended up seeing the opportunity to get (buy) a 2013 iMac i5 quad core working normally. How do I create a recovery media of the current OS (Catalina) in case there's an error when applying OCLP (I intend to update to Sequoia 15.7 to be able to publish on the App Store when the new rules come into effect in April)? Regarding slowness, performance, etc., I'm aware (if it works), but I'll use it very little (3 to 4 times a month, at most), basically just for publishing, so it wouldn't be something for daily use.

Im wondering about experiences on the new final cut version on Opencore macs. Please share if you can!

is it possible to bypass icloud with oclp? mbair 13 2018

Fresh install (21.5 iMac, late 2011, 32Gb RAM, SSD), I start from Mavericks then OCLP to move to Sequoia. I follow the instructions, create the USB installer, add the OCLP patch to the USB drive... then it won't show the EFI option at start.

I am trying with bluetooth Mac keyboard (Alt pressed) and also a PC wired one, also Alt pressed upon restart. No result...

Any idea?

Just did a (semi-)successful hackintosh install which included OCLP. I have one drive with windows, the other with macOS. Ran the app to do the root patches, and rebooted.

Windows partition, which is the first drive listed in BIOS, is damaged, and won't boot. I haven't verified it yet, but I'm 99% sure that the boot partition was damaged by the root patches, since it was working fine prior to the install.

So my question is, does the app always just install root patches on the first drive it finds? If that's the case, is there a way to have it install on the drive with macOS on it instead?

When running OCLP on all my Macs is there any way to make Safari perform faster and not feel so sluggish when compared to using Edge or Chrome?

Alright… this one’s on me.

I had automatic updates turned on and my mid-2014 MacBook Pro decided it was cool to jump from Sequoia to “Tahoe” (??). End result: full-on “white screen of death.”

Did a reset, brought the machine back to Monterey, then installed Big Sur > OCLP> Sequioa and everything was 👌 smooth sailing.

…and then I forgot to turn off automatic updates.

So here I am again. Same boat. Same ocean. Same idiot at the helm.

I’ve got the installer on a USB drive already. My question is:

Do I need to:

• Roll it all the way back to Monterey again,
• Then Big Sur
• Then reinstall Sequoia cleanly?

I swear I saw the answer buried somewhere deep in another thread, but I’m hoping for a quick resolve before I lose my mind (or this laptop).

Any advice appreciated — and yes, I’ve learned nothing apparently

I found this old MacBook and I have problems installing the legacy patcher I tried with a second computer and an USB but in the app says I need an older version of the open core legacy patcher (older than 10.10)

TLDR: I've mostly fixed it by disabling the dGPU but now my brightness keys don't work. And when the screen goes black from idling, it won't turn back on.

I got a hard freeze on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro running Sequoia 15.5, then got caught in boot loops. Could get in via safe mode.

Nuked everything to stock and started over when I couldn't figure it out but still got boot loops. Eventually figured out the dGPU shit the bed.

I ran sudo nvram FA4CE28D-B62F-4C99-9CC3-6815686E30F9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00 per this link which let me boot normally but would crash shortly after getting to desktop.

I ran sudo nvram GfxMode=4 from safe mode which actually worked. I can boot normally and the dGPU doesn't show up in system info.

I applied OCLP and bumped up macOS from Big Sur to Sequoia 15.7.3 without issues.

The only problem now is the brightness keys don't work, and if the screen goes black from idle I can't get it on again. I suspect sleep is affected too based on some reading around.

Resetting the SMC didn't solve it.

ChatGPT is recommending Lilu + WhateverGreen kexts but I'm skeptical because I think its pulling this info from regular opencore and I don't understand the full implications of adding them.

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Could I flash with a version of OCLP that is meant for the same laptop without the dGPU?

Thanks!

I have a 2013 iMac 27 inch. It has 32 gigs of memory and a ssd in it. Should put Ventura or Sonoma? it’s for my aunts so they’ll mainly do recipes, maybe listen to some Apple Music and just surf the web. Thank for your help

Fully functional EFI file for thinkstation p520 100% legit dm for price.

Does anyone know if you can add the Tahoe icons, disks, and folders theme to older macs like Monterey? I know a lot of people don't like the look of Tahoe but I'm kinda used to it on my Mac Mini and would like my 2010 MacBook to look the same.

Sounds like an ad for...amphetamines! Apple has brainwashed us, particularly in the post-Jobs era, that those are just the Macs we need to make our lives perfect.

I'm new to OCLP. While I appreciate the effort and the results, are the newer OSs 'better'? How, exactly? What new features can't you live without?

I'm really happy with my 2015 MBP. It's running Ventura now but, in many ways, I was happier on High Sierra. I liked 32-bits that devs put a lot of heart into. Ahem, before the AppStore.

I hear a lot of paranoia about not getting 'security' updates. I get it. It's like TSA at airports protecting us from people sparking their shoes. Do you even know what those security updates do? I sure don't.

If my oldMac™ fucks up, I'll fix it. But I'm boycotting any new Apples until Cook stops sucking Trump's dick.

My 2015 MBP will only take Monterey so I OCLPed to Ventura. It's annoyingly wonky.

Opening a folder or doc or image takes forever and has a square growing in slow-mo before opening. Meanwhile, all other apps & functions are frozen, including Force Quit.

Hitting that red button is even worse. Good 2 minutes before whatever closes, again freezing the machine.

My tech buddy tells me to reinstall OCLP and restart. Done that three times. Normal for a short while, then back to frustration.

Anybody else seeing this? Workaround??? TIA! Or, how to remove OCLP? Bummer...

I have a mid 2012 9,2 MBP running Ventura 13.7.8 via OCLP. I’ve been on Ventura for about a year and for most part has been running great with exception of few settings lost. Before upgrading to Ventura I installed SSD and upgraded to 16GB RAM. Can I safely upgrade to newer OS since Ventura isn’t getting any more security updates? Or should I stay on Ventura? I mainly use MBP for coding on VS Code, iterm2, and web browsing. Thanks!

Hello, I need some help. I have been running “legacy patcher now on my unsupported MacBook Air mid 2013 or a few years now I started on Big Sur and bypassed all the way to Sequoia. Originally it brought me to Sonoma, which I preferred. I forgot to turn off automatic updates it updated to Sequoia. Then updated to Tahoe. At that time “legacy patch didn’t have root patches installed I believe for Tahoe and I really do not like Tahoe. I did not back up my data beforehand. I am able to make it to the home screen where my password needs to be entered, but I cannot get the mouse or be able to put in my password to get into the computer. I have tried the external keyboard external mouse. Sometimes this works, but if anyone has any other options that I can do without a full factory, reset I would greatly appreciate it!

I know that if I can get into my computer and run the root patches on Car legacy now that there is root patches for Tahoe, then I can at least get my keyboard and my trackpad in my mouse working. And then I can go backwards and downgrade to Sonoma or Sequoia. I didn’t really like Sequoia either. I feel like it’s slowed my computer down a lot. If anyone has any tricks up there leave certain codes I can bypass via the terminal. I am all ears. I am asking for help, please and thank you!

I have 16GB RAM and an SSD on an early 2011, 13” MacBook Pro. It was running High Sierra and now runs OCLP Monterey. It’s not the smoothest, bit slower than it probably should be, and the fan comes on every start up, or if you even breathe on it, but YouTube videos are the worst for fans. The battery is disappointing, and wonder if the newer OS will make much of a difference.

Question being, anyone else with the same model, and recommend a better experience with any of the newer 4 x OS, or just leaving well alone?

I just ran the Sonoma .3 update on my 6,1 and re-ran root patch but system still says it’s on .1 and .3 update available. Any idea?

So I bought a $100 used Late 2014 Mac Mini (with an Intel i5-4278U, 8GB RAM, and a 1TB 5400RPM hard drive) on eBay and want to install a unsupported version on said Mac Mini, that OpenCore Legacy Patcher supports. I have trouble deciding between versions 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma), and 15 (Sequoia). Version 26 (Tahoe) is out of the question because it's not supported by OLP.

macOS Sequoia already runs very slow and laggy on my Late 2015 iMac 21-inch (with an Intel i5-5575R, 8GB RAM, and a 1TB 5400RPM drive.) The issue is that i5-4278U has half the cores the 5575R has, so I can already imagine Sequoia would be even slower and agonizing.

That being said, please let me know in the comments which one of the three unsupported versions I should install!

Everything seems to be perfectly fine, except the Touch ID and the random screen flickering.

Pretty confident i did everything that i was supposed to do correctly.

- Touch ID isn’t working, nor is it giving me the scan my fingerprint to make a new one after inserting my password, i did try my apple id password but all to no difference.

- Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if i can download apps that didn’t support Monterey now that i’ve downloaded sequoia.

21.5 iMac end of 2011, 32Gb RAM, SSD... I just updated to Ventura .3 and now I cannot login. I enter the password, it will show the desktop, then back to login. any solution?

please help me 😔

If, like me, you are tired of the red dot in the settings app, and the nags to update to Tahoe, especially as updating by mistake will cause no end of headaches, I suggest you follow the simple instructions on this site to remove the option to update to a new major version.

Cheers

I watched a video and it says that when you launch the app it should show a dialog that asks if you want to update. But whenever I launch the app it never does this. I also looked through all the menus and settings but I don't see any option to update.

How do I do it?

Sorry if it's a silly question or the answer is widely available but I wasn't sure where to clarify . My mac is a 21.5-inch, Late 2012 with a max os of catlina updated to Sequoia through OCLP and i want to know if it'll work ? My mac is probably fast enough for it to work...

I got into my hands on a MacBook Pro of end 2011 a1268, i7 2,5GHz intel CPU and 16GB RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GB/Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512Mb GPU’s

I installed Ventura on it, having troubles to even just load youtube but it still feels a little bit too slow in my opinion.

Should i try to downgrade it to Monterey and maybe see some improvements or i should just cope with the fact that the GPU is ass and i should use this PC only for strict productivity?
