View Allweird screen after trying to upgrade my iMac 15 and failing, don’t know what to do and need urgent help
| Hey, I tried to upgrade my iMac 15 to sequoia and fucked up. It didn’t work because the hard drive showed an error (.10) and then I couldn’t leave the menu so I pressed command, r and p and now I’m stuck here and don’t know what to do. I’m new to this whole thing so I‘d be great if someone could “simplify” it for me how to get out of this mess. I’m really scared that I fucked up big time. Help is greatly appreciated and needed!!!

Forcing MacOS to use both GPUs in macpro6,1: a theoretical opportunity or just a crazy idea?
Hi Guys,
Let me admit that my knowledge on MacOS structure is by far not advanced so, please, be clement and don't undervote me should this be a dumb question.
I have a macpro6,1 wonderfully running Sequoia 15.7.4 - thanks OCLP!!! :)
I recently read that Windows uses both GPUs natively, while MacOS leave the use of the second GPU to the app programmers.
I was wandering if it would be feasible to build a patch or something else that would enable the second GPU also on MacOS, and therefore to all apps... I understand this is a niche need and OCLP guys might never see that as a priority! Just wondering if it would be technically possible or if this would require to re-compile the whole OS or something like that.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

finally decided to permanently stay on oclp
| im running on a very slow wd nvme i got 2nd hand online and while monterey was very usable, sequoia wasn’t. it made me think that oclp is unreliable for a year until my friend suggested sonoma as he said sequloia also ran poorly on her macbook and sonoma ran best… but youtube said sequoia is fine and there wasnt much difference anyway so i just sticked with monterey until i just wanted the wallpaper and widgets so i got sonoma and ITS LITERALLY JUST AS FAST AS MONTEREY, fans didnt get luder, and emssd speed is still on 500mb unlike the 66mb i got on sequoia back then. if oclp tahoe gets released, i might upgrade when i get a better ssd. tl:dr: if sequoia runs ass on your macbook, try sonoma [link] [comments] |

Best OCLP version for MacBook Air 3013 4gb 128ssd?
I tried installing sequoia but with the latest one in GitHub. 2.4.1 I think it is. But when it’s almost done installing (fresh install) it says an error and that update couldn’t be completed. The window in the background shows startup disks either nothing in it
So I’m wondering what’s the best compatible oclp version for my MacBook Pro to install either Sonoma or sequoia with?

Are these temps safe for a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 running Ventura?

I use iMac 2017 5k 16gb of ram and 500gb of ssd, I did use opencore patch legacy to update macOS sequoia. but after check to see if my iMac can update to new version of macOS tohoe I see this one saying that I can install it so what is your recommendation???
Macbook Pro 13 Mid 2012
Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade to Ventura and just wanted to double check i'm doing everything in the right order.
I'm going to move the HDD to the optical bay and use an SSD for the main hard drive. Once I format the new SSD, do I install Catalina on to it and then go ahead with using OCLP? am I ok to leave Catalina on my HDD for a while as a back up just in case I run in to any hiccups on the SSD OCLP install?
I don't really have any many files to move except for The Sims 4 with just under 1GB of mods, and some Logic Pro X instrument files.
Thanks everyone.

Probably not the right place ask this but - I’m set up to meet someone and purchase this iMac tomorrow. Is the grayed out background shown in this photo any cause for concern? Like a graphics issue maybe? The price seems great so I’m a bit concerned. In seattle area
Any recommendations after installing Ventura on MacBook Pro Mid 2012?
| So I successfully installed macOS Ventura in my MacBook Pro Mid 2012. Performance is great. What makes me worry is temperature and that the fans do not make their work. Did anyone touch any settings in Macs fan controls or stick with the stock settings? Apart from that, any other recommendations regarding configuration or something else? I already disable auto updates. still I wanted to ask if there is any way to block new updates pop up like I did with my iPhone. [link] [comments] |
Sequoia 15.7.4 - Login Screen Restarting/Flickering
| Hi everyone! I'm using a Mac Mini 7,1 (2014). Everything was working fine. I updated to Sequoia 15.7.4 and now I'm having this problem. The login screen keeps restarting. The cursor and what was typed is reset constantly (it's not just the screen flickering). I've already tried entering safe mode, but the problem persists and I can't reinstall the root patch. I've tried entering recovery mode to remove the file (launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.wallpaper.plist) but it doesn't exist there. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions other than reinstalling Sequoia? [link] [comments] |

Mousepad/ keyboard not working manhood pro A1278 after update .plz help
| Hey everyone. I wasn’t focus while attempting to update (kids/wife around 😖😂) I believe I was on Catalina. And I pressed the update directly from the home screen(never read the full instructions on how to update prior ) 😣 now when I turn it on the mouse and key pad are non functional. I did the external 3.0 usb hub as mentioned here and still nothing . If there isn’t a work around, is it possible to downgrade / reinstall via usb? Also will I be able to download a previous version on my pc and then transfer it via usb to my Mac . Thanks guys [link] [comments] |
An option for blocking Tahoe upgrades (for 90 days anyway)
Just came across this -- it's a "user experience" post with some software that can install a controlled-by-you device management policy that tells MacOS to not show you Tahoe upgrade alerts at all...for 90 days. Which is a little better, anyway.
https://robservatory.com/block-the-upgrade-to-tahoe-alerts-and-system-settings-indicator/
His version adds a notahoecommand that you can run periodically to push the 90-day block out further.

question about macos
| hi everyone, which macOS do you recommend installing on mbp 13 2017? [link] [comments] |
Slightly off topic...Windows 11 on Bootcamp
I've been using OCLP for several years now, very successfully. Very happy.
Anyhow, recently, I needed access to Windows 11 for a remote gig. I learned how to install Windows 11, even though my older Lenovo Windows gaming laptop and my iMac in bootcamp are unsupported. I followed a YouTube video and it took me like 20 minutes.
But for some reason, whatever requirements the remote gig's proprietary software required, my Lenovo wouldn't pass their tests, and my Mac did.
So I've been successfully using their software in Bootcamp on Windows 11 for several weeks now.
I had even been able to install Windows 11 updates in Bootcamp with no issues.
Last week, I got a failed Windows 11 update. It said something about Windows 11, version 25H2, and that my PC failed the requirements.
What's confusing is that I already have that version installed, but I haven't been able to install any Windows 11 updates ever since.
Meanwhile, the proprietary software still worked all week, but I know it's only a matter of time because the software requires the security updates.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I could do? I was thinking of reinstalling, like doing a fresh install of Windows 11, but I wonder if the iso disk that's downloadable from Microsoft's site is updated? or is it the same iso from when Windows 11 first launched, and it's the updates that bring you up-to-date?

Universal Control cursor freeze every ~1 min
I'm wondering if this is something anyone else has dealt with.
I'm using a macbook pro with universal control enabled through OCLP to control a new mac mini. About every 55 seconds, the the cursor movement will freeze for about a 1 or 2 seconds. I tried connecting both machines to ethernet but it didn't help.
I am trying to use a 2015 MBP but even with a non-"blacklisted" machine like my mid 2012 mbp it does the same thing.

Wort getting a 2019 MacBook air?
I was wondering if it's worth it getting a 2019 MacBook air with an i5 dual core, 8gb ram, and 128gb ssd. I know this is like the lowest specs one but i only see myself watching media, doing college work, running some logic pro projects, and perhaps some light work 1080p caput work load.
I have put into consideration that i would need to upgrade my iCloud plan to at least 200gb which im fine with since i already use my *cough cough* desktop mac pro with i5 11400f, 16gb ram ddr4, and 400gb ssd, which gets me all of my needs for education, entertainment, and music production.
so y'all think its worth 290 bucks? (its the cheapest offer i could find) other than a 2015 MacBook pro (i7 16gb ram 256gb ssd) and a lower end 2017 one.
