Slow FPS, white screen, and bootcamp problems

Slow FPS, white screen, and bootcamp problems

I started my laptop today and I I had white screen instead of wallpaper on macos, I tried to reinstall root patches but I couldn't because it says that my system is updating, then I boot to windows bootcamp and I faced not working Bluetooth, webcam doesn't work, usb microphone doesn't work too even though other USB devices work. What should I do? I tried to use recovery terminal to erase apfs snapshots but it didn't help at all

Error while installing Sequoia on mbp pro mid 2012

Error while installing Sequoia on mbp pro mid 2012

I am trying to install Sequoia on my mbp pro mid 2012. I have 16 gb RAM and 500 GB SSD. I used oclp to upgrade to Monterey and everything worked great. After I decided to upgrade again to Sequoia. I erased and installed Sequoia installer on the USB. And erased my hard drive to do clean install. I get this error message and then the second window pops up. I restarted the whole process including new install on the USB and clean install again on the MacBook but still got the same error. Please tell me what to do next? Chatgpt is not much help.

Monterey doesn’t want to see 13 mini on ios 15.2

No, I am not lazy, I’ve spent two evenings researching the problem and it seems like I do need help.

I got a brand new 13 mini but presumably made for OAE, MLJF3AH/A model. Yes, my setup is somewhat bizzare, it’s a white plastic macbook7.1 2009 running Monterey under OCLP 2.4.1. Yes, the system report tells me there's an iphone on usb port, the finder sometimes can detect my 13 mini for a few seconds, and it recognises a phone when I put it in DFU mode, but stil refuses to restore even with the right .ipsw file. Monterey once managed to download some extra software needed to operate my mini but it changed nothing. I don't want to upgrade ios since I plan to jailbreake the thing, so I have to stay on 15.2 which I got with the phone.

Anyone may have experienced something similar to give me some advice where to go from here, please ?

Mac Pro 2013 boot issue (non critical)

Mac Pro 2013 boot issue (non critical)

I have been delaying asking for help since over 1 year ago.

Attached you can see the error I get everytime I boot my Mac with the latest OCLP.

I thought this would have been fixed once I formated my Mac a few days ago but it keeps happening regardless.

I recall the first time I experienced this (I have installed OCLP twice in this machine every time after a clean install) I also experienced issues when setting up filevault.

I disabled file vault the first time thinking it was that causing the issue but apparently it isn't.

Of course I have tried several times searching for a solution but never got it. Since it was not a critical issue I delayed it till now after experiencing it a second time after a clean format.

Just to clarify it doesn't matter if I shut down the Mac properly or not, it always reports this restart issue.

What's the last MacOS I can safely install on a Mac Mini 2012?

I have a Mac Mini 2012 that I need to put to work, but the last update I can get on it via Apple is Mavericks. I have used Open Core in the past, but it never lasts for long. What is the last MacOS I can use in it that won't immediately crash?

2012 MBP becomes unusable every time an update is available

So I’ve noticed that at times my background disappears and turns white and the dock disappears but the tool bar stays. The entire computer grinds to a snails pace.

Every time this happens I notice there is a macOS update available (so can’t repatch with a pending update).

Updating and repatching does fix it but it’s very inconvenient because the computer is basically unusable till I do the update. And that’s not something that necessarily can be done quickly. Gotta download it and then wait for it to install.

Install GoodbyeBigSlow on OCLP machine

Hi all,

I have a machine running OCLP 2.4.1 and Ventura on which I wish to install GoodbyeBigSlow to disable the heat sensor error - the machine is stuck in 37% speed mode despite only 50C core temps

This appears to be actually impossible.

The Git instructions say to use the Recovery mode, however nothing is loaded. No Git, no Apt etc. Internet is connected but nothing usable available.

There is no longer a pre-built kext on Git

a) Any useful clues

b) Does anyone have the built kext they could give me?

How is Sequoia on a Macbook 12 2017 8GB in 2026?

Hi all,

How is Sequoia on a Macbook 12 2017 8GB in 2026? Old posts seemed to indicate it to be a bit slow and buggy, has it improved? Would Sonoma be better?

Recently picked up a relatively cheap macbook 12 inch and am toying between Sonoma and Sequoia.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

No Graphics acceleration, sometimes

Hi,

I have a early 2015 MacBook pro 13 inch where I installed Sequoia 15.7.2 with Open Core.

My issue is that, sometimes, I have to repatch graphics acceleration (or better yet, I have to do the post-install patch, to be more precise) because it looses them, rendering the laptop unusable until I redo the steps.

I'm not entirely sure what triggers it, but almost certain that is related to some energy thing, like if I leave it on battery it works, but not if it drains all, although not sure. I remember one time my battery went totally down, then went back after recharging and it was fine. Hence why I can't really tell what is clearing the patching.

I wonder if someone could help me understand or at least debug the issue somehow.

Thanks!

SMBIOS model spoofing leads to stop sign at boot

SMBIOS model spoofing leads to stop sign at boot

Hi everyone, I was trying to spoof my 2011 MBP as a 2012 (because this machine was originally a 2012, but i had to put a 2011 board in it and wanted to make it look like original as much as possible) but after selecting moderate spoof and macbook 9,1 as model, when building OpenCore it leads the machine at a stop sign.

I saw spoofing being successfully for other people and I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I dont wanna change serial (even tho i have my original mid 2012 one printed on the bottom of the machine, and I am scared of messing up something.

Help appreciated!

Cannot unmount volumes after running OLCP app

Below is the output of "diskutil list" after building a USB installer with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Unmounting these volumes with:

 sudo diskutil unmountdisk diskN 

reports success, but the volumes remain mounted.

Is this considered normal????

Why do I have to keep root patching?

I‘m on a 2012 MBP running Ventura thanks to OCLP. Everything is updated to the latest, and yes it’s an SSD.

I notice that if I restart my laptop for some reason, often I have to root patch again. The OS does that thing that looks like I opened it in safe mode - weird outlines on the menu bar, different color finder windows, and slow slow slow. I have to run Open Core and root patch again, restart, and then it‘s back to normal.

This is happening more and more. I suppose I could just never restart again, but come on.

Why is this happening?
