I have been watching numerous YouTube videos about using OpenCore Legacy Patcher and attempting an installation on a 2010 Mac Mini. I am currently running High Sierra and wanted to know what is recommended to get installed. From my understanding the 2010 Mac Mini has USB 1.1 onboard and this makes it difficult to have the install process go smoothly. Does anyone have some recommendations or provide a detailed list of the things that need to be accomplished, as the content I have found seems like it isn't well documented. submitted by /u/Rock_Necessary [link] [comments] [► Source]

P.S.A. If you are running OCLP on a 3,1 (and possibly 5,1?) and have removed your BT card, or don't have one, OCLP wrongly activates BlueToolFixUp and BlueTooth-Spoof.kexts. This was causing bluetoothd (daemon) to constantly crash, producing several bluetoothd crashlogs per minute. Disabling both kexts in your config.plist fixed the bluetoothd crashes. Check your Console's crash logs if you don't have a Bluetooth module or non standard one. If you see several bt crashlogs, the aformentioned kexts are the likely culprit. (These kexts are for the BCM module which the 3,1 did not come with.) submitted by /u/FreQRiDeR [link] [comments] [► Source]

Has anyone here tried this? Has it worked well? Monterey UI kinda pisses me off lol submitted by /u/Specialist_Spring783 [link] [comments] [► Source]

I have a Late 2015 iMac 5K and patched with OCLP 2.4.1. My iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 26.1 does not appear in Finder. I could not connect on macOS 15.7. Upgraded to macOS 15.7.2, patched with OCLP, installed root patches, rebooted and I could connect my phone. After disconnecting, could not connect ever again. No prompts on my phone and the iPhone is showing in System Information and does charge, it just does not appear in Finder. submitted by /u/danfratamico [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hello, i am looking to install a linux distro on my mac mini 2010 since macOS Ventura is slow on the system and i am planning to get rid of OCLP and install linux for stability and peformance. Though there is one question i wanna ask: Is erasing a hard drive and the patched macos (and maybe OpenCore EFI) and installing linux gonna corrupt the system?

Found a 2012 MacMini - i7 quad core 16GB RAM, 500GB HDD for $75 after shipping on ebay. Upgraded to 1TB SSD. Interestingly enough I was actually trying to buy the late 2014 version and so when I received it I thought I had been scammed - but it turns out the post was accurate and apparently the 2014 i7 is only dual core, so - kinda stoked now. LOL, i opened the package and looked at the back panel and i just said, FIREWIRE?! anyway i'm using this as a Bluebubbles server, as my daily computer is Linux, and really the Messages was the only thing that I really missed from Apple computers. All good now! Gonna see how this fares when i need an iOS build for a Flutter app, and so i'm stoked to have those two additional cores Curious if there's some online db/repo that keeps track of a list of users old macs and what versions they install, and some details about usage submitted by /u/chikamakaleyley [link] [comments] [► Source]

MacBook Pro 15” mid 2015 I’m planning to swap the SSD with a new one. Can I use a OCLP installer to install macOS on this new disk? submitted by /u/Nessuno_87 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Running latest supported OS Monterrey on MacBook pro early 2015, using boot camp I managed to install win 10 then was able to upgrade to win 11 on a separate partition. I've just discovered OCLP can be installed and allow me to update Monterrey to Sequoia. If I was to follow the online tutorials will the windows 11 partition remain intact and available as an option on boot? Thanks submitted by /u/Professional-Emu-290 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hey guys, I’ve been using open core legacy patcher 2.4.1 on my macbook pro mid 2012 with retina to run Ventura for the past year. I now want to switch to Sonoma. Is there a good walkthrough that I can reference for this task? I specifically want one that takes into consideration that I already have open core installed on my laptop. Most walkthroughs seem to be geared for fresh open core installs. So far I’ve tried using chatgpt but its royally confused me. So far, It’s had me create the USB installer but booting from the USB hasn’t worked. When i click on either of the “EFI boot” options, am taken to the Ventura login screen and I don’t get the macOS Utilities screen. So far its troubleshooting has consisted of recreating the USB installer and trying it again and again. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Step 2: Boot from the USB 1. Turn on your Mac and immediately hold the Option (⌥) key. 2. You’ll see the boot menu. Look for something like “EFI Boot” – that’s your OpenCore US...

How can I make my macOS systems appear on the Apple boot picker and not the opencore one since it’s causing me trouble. submitted by /u/Mountain_Table_3632 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Someone told me to upgrade my macbook air 13 2014 with opencore the latest os i had was 11.7 so i only could use spotify web and i updated it to get apps to Ventura now after the update even the mouse is laggy :/ Everyone was telling me the system is very stable but it isn't the case for me, its there a way to downgrade again or should i change some settings to make it smoother,help submitted by /u/mivhus [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hey y'all, I have a Late 2012 Retina MacBook Pro running MacOS Sequoia with OLCP. It has HDMI 1.4 Port. Doesn't it support ultra wide resolutions? Neither settings nor software tweaks appear to help me with that. Maximum resolution is 1080p 16:9, no other ultra wide options present. Is it the specifics of a MacBook port, or something? Display is Mi Monitor 21:9 FullHD submitted by /u/kewuak [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hello! I am trying to upgrade my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) and I’m getting a com.apple.Buildinfo.pre-flight.error error 21 when I attempt to install to my 2 TB SSD. Has anybody run into this? Thank you! submitted by /u/jsb1964 [link] [comments] [► Source]

this is pretty big news, as it means they are probably finishing up development some of the commits are like "unblock Tahoe" " implement November 2025 patches" " implement modern wireless patches" so we could be in the final stretch but who knows really, id say a good guess is dec 8th they drop a pre-release but again, No one knows. have a good day/night y'all! submitted by /u/Sufficient_Bus_8302 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Bonjour à tous, J'avais migré mon iMac sur Sequoia avec OCLP et ça tournait plutôt bien. Mais depuis la 15.7.2 ça bug pas mal (bugs d'affichage). Même après réinstallation propre. Je crois que je vais rétrograder sur Sonoma. submitted by /u/maelbihan [link] [comments] [► Source]

I updated my pc using OCLP and everything works great my I just lost all my files applications, is there any way to recover my account and files? I tried Time Machine but there’s nothing there. Please help I’m freaking out. submitted by /u/thugnifixent_ [link] [comments] [► Source]

I’m wondering if my Mac could handle running macOS sequoia, most of what I read if recommending running Ventura. I’m not that tech savvy lol so I’m just wondering if my processor could handle it if anyone could help, thank you. submitted by /u/thugnifixent_ [link] [comments] [► Source]

I’m trying to install macOS Sonoma to my MacbookPro9,2 (mid 2012) with 16 GB RAM and 960 GB SSD, MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I am using an 64GB USB (as the guide explains) to build the installer and the builder. When I restart the computer, only “Install macOS Sonoma” and by computer’s SSD show up, never the EFI/OCPL Install. I’ve tried partitioning the USB (one where the Install Sonoma is and another where the EFI is) and it doesn’t show up. I have also created the builder in the SSD just in case, but it still doesn’t show up. Do I have to install an older macOS (Monterey, for example) BEFORE installing Sonoma? submitted by /u/gezcer [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hello, can anyone assist me? I am encountering an error when installing macOS Tahoe. Does anyone know how to resolve it? submitted by /u/Radiant_Ad_3169 [link] [comments] [► Source]

I tried installing MacOS 15.7.3 on a 2011 IMac. This went as well as it could go until I started fumbling around with the EFI partition, as I wanted it to automatically boot into macOS instead of having to choose the Macintosh HD everytime it boots. Now when holding Alt/Option when booting, it first shows a white screen then only shows “Install macOS Sequoia” or it shows an installer, when I choose “install macOS sequoia” it goes into the recovery, where I can delete partitions and install like you would normally. If I choose the installer, there is a black apple screen with the loading bar that shows “xx minutes until finished”, well it doesn’t finish anything and reboots again. The same happens when I try to reinstall macOS Sequoia, it loads, then when it’s about 2/3 done, it reboots and I’m back at 0. Although it does not finish, it does install something. When I remove the usb stick, the Mac remains at the white screen. Also the fans go wild while doing any of this. So does anyone ...

Hello, I have a Mac OS Catalina 2013 that I successfully upgraded to Sequoia about a year ago. Up until now, everything was fine, until I realized I had forgotten to disable automatic system updates. This has caused some lag for the past few days. So, I disabled this this morning and then ran the OCLP root patch. After more than an hour of installation, it got stuck for another 30 minutes at a step, and suddenly my Mac started making a terrible noise. I made a huge mistake by pressing the "shutdown" button in the top right corner of the keyboard... I haven't been able to start it since. I don't know what to do, especially since I no longer have the OCLP installer on my USB drive that I used to install Sequoia. How can I fix this, please? submitted by /u/Dependent-Remove6442 [link] [comments] [► Source]

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro, and I was trying to download Sonoma, I formatted the usb as a guid, and everything. but the usb doesn't show on o-encore bootpicker. I tried to install directly by the usb, but didnt work. btw, I'm using a usb to usb-c adapter, but it works fine, didn't have any problems submitted by /u/Living_Push_9751 [link] [comments] [► Source]

I don't know if the rules allow this, but if you're looking to buy one in the US, send me a DM/chat. I have one built in late 2017 (late 2013 Mac Pro model) with the original 6-core CPU, Apple 512GB SSD, 64GB RAM, and the D500's. It's working fine but I'm reaching the point of needing Apple Silicon for my Macs. I'm writing this on that Mac Pro, and it's running the latest Sequoia (with the help of OCLP). submitted by /u/Unwiredsoul [link] [comments] [► Source]

I’m having issues with logging in after upgrading my 2012 27” iMac to Tahoe. I didn’t get a chance to update the patch because once my iMac restarted and I tried logging in it said my password was incorrect even though I never changed the password and have had the same one for years, so I know what it is. I was able to get into Terminal and change the password and once again it says that it is incorrect when I know I’ve entered the password correctly. I tried a few other start up options which didn’t work, but now I only have the option to select MacOS start up, which brings me back to sign-in. Am I missing something? I have had a few minor issues similar to this before, but I was always able to fix it submitted by /u/dylantemperton [link] [comments] [► Source]

I'm looking at buying a computer that can run the new updates natively (goodbye oclp, you served me well) however with that being said, when i go to transfer the files across using whatever its called (im terrible with this stuff my bad 😅) to do so, will it also transfer across the EFI Boot and have OCLP running its manipulation even though the new machine won't need it?

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Right Choice Step 1: Understand Your Hardware Limitations Your MBP 13,2 (2016) has: 6th/7th generation Intel Core i5 processor Integrated Intel Iris Graphics Likely 8GB RAM (possibly 16GB) Older thermal design (fans, heat pipes) Key Insight: This model is officially compatible with Sonoma but is getting older. Each newer macOS version adds features optimized for Apple Silicon that may run less efficiently on Intel Macs. Step 2: Temperature & Performance Assessment Current Research Findings: Sonoma vs. Monterey: Generally, newer macOS versions include optimizations but also demand more resources. Many users report slightly higher temperatures on Sonoma due to: More background processes Visual effects (screen savers, widgets) Security features running continuously Mitigation Factors: Sonoma does include power management improvements, but these benefit Apple Silicon chips more than Intel. Recommendation: If temperatures are already high on Monte...
