The system fails to boot but I have no idea why Boot with the flag -v and carefully watch to determine at which point the system stalls and eventually fails System hangs at “PCI Configuration Began” If this happens then you should try installing the patched kext IOPCIFamily.kext. You can download this here . Make sure to read the Readme file supplied with package. My screen goes black (or grey) at boot Open the file org.chameleon.Boot.plist (found in /Extra of your USB disk or harddrive) in a text editor. Change: GraphicsEnabler=Yes to GraphicsEnabler=No (or the other way around) Save Reboot and try again Incorrect processor or memory speed is displayed. More than likely this is completely cosmetic, but it can be changed by using an appropriate /Extra/smbios.plist or editing one yourself. My audio/USB/Ethernet was working but I updated OSX and now it’s not This is a very common issue.  Usually this doesn’t take too long. If you’re in a hurry to upgrade you can search the forum for...

Download Kexts You need to patch the AppleRTC.kext. Open your Terminal and follow these easy steps: 1. First backup the original kext: mkdir ~/Desktop/BackupRTC sudo cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext ~/Desktop/BackupRTC/ 2. Copy the original kext to your desktop for patching: sudo cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext ~/Desktop/ 3. Patch it: sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x75\x30\x89\xd8|\xeb\x30\x89\xd8|' ~/Desktop/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleRTC 4. Delete the original version: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext 5. Copy the patched version in the place using Kext Wizard, rebuild the permissions and the system cache. 6. Reboot.

OPTION 1:   This error manifests itself on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion only if you boot your Hackintosh with UseKernelCache=Yes, as booting with “-f” results in a normal boot sequence. The reason is believed to be due to a timing change Apple has introduced in the IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext, results in a bug on Hackintosh builds: the system enumerates the disk partitions too fast and the boot partition gets skipped. The fix involves patching the IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext and adding a slight delay that allows enough time for disk enumeration. The shell script patcher is available from the  author’s Dropbox , but if you prefer to do everything by hand yourself, here is the list of the commands: cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS sudo mv IOAHCIBlockStorage IOAHCIBlockStorage.orig sudo cp IOAHCIBlockStorage.orig IOAHCIBlockStorage sudo /usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's|\xeb\x4c\x00\x00\xea\x03|\xeb\x4c\x00\x00\xe8\x01|g'...

This is an easy way about how to fix Migration Assistant to transfer your Account from Hackintosh to Mac, you will notice that your hackintosh won’t be able to boot after it. This happens due to OSX messing up some file so bootloader can’t boot it. So, if it happened you need to fix it, with help of another OSX copy on your PC. A fix for single file with name “filename” is: sudo su cd folder_of_file rm .SM.gul.filename cp filename filename_ rm filename mv filename_ filename And the files you need to fix are(* is a wild card): /*.aml /mach_kernel /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist source 

It is recommended to have a clean hackintosh without  unstable  applications in the system. AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps. Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily. AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them. Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window.  It will find for the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button. Source:

If you use multiple GT2xx core and newer nVidia VGA cards on your computer, then do not use VGA sensor plugin (GPUSensors.kext in this example) of the FakeSMC.kext. It may cause IOGraphicsFamily.kext related random kernel panics before the GUI starts.  It runs good on single GPUs.

We've seen many users ask about the best backup solution for their CustoMac. Doing regular system backups of important files and documents can help ensure that you can recover from an unforeseen disaster.  Aside from Apple's iCloud based cloud storage, some still like to do regular backups locally; either to an external USB drive or a local hard disk. I want to highlight a few of the 3rd party backup solutions as well as Apple's own solution that many of our members have stated as working solutions. Let's start with Apple's own built-in back-up solution, Time Machine.   "Time Machine is the built-in backup that works with your Mac and an external drive (sold separately) or Time Capsule. Connect the drive, assign it to Time Machine, and start enjoying some peace of mind. Time Machine automatically backs up your entire Mac, including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, music, photos, movies, and documents. But what makes Time Machine different from...

10.7.5/mbp2012 drivers run opencl on Fermi just fine out of box, no more need to enable it binpatching, but.. If you have a card with more than 2 gb of video memory, opencl suddenly gets disabled, wtf? Here is why: (warning, assembler skills needed for the pic) basicaly, if your video  ram  amount > 2GB by at least 1 byte, then you are screwed. Funny Apple, they decided to control it themselves instead of putting check in the nvidia driver. But, we can just disable the check and enjoy. The file you wanna patch is /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenCL.framework/Versions/A/OpenCL Just do these two simple patches you can do with any hex editor and you are good to go: 1) for 32-bit part: find 3d 01 00 00 80 73 e7 replace with 3d 01 00 00 80 90 90 yes, its just last two bytes to disable the check 2) for 64-bit part, for  lion find ff 50 68 48 39 d8 73 e5 replace with ff 50 68 48 39 d8 90 90 for  mountain lion find ff 50 68 4c 39 e0 73 e7 replace with ff 50 68 4c 39 e0 90 9...
