This is the amazing tool for those who wants to edit or create an APP for MAC Pacifist 2.6.4 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .xar file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X. Pacifist is also able to verify existing installations and find missing or altered files*, and Pacifist can also examine the kernel extensions installed in your system to let you see what installer installed them, and whether the installer was made by Apple or a third-party. Pacifist is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 or higher, including Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”. It is also compiled as a Universal Binary for maximum performance on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. Pacifist is  not yet compatible...

MBR, GPT, and APM. (These are the ones Apple's Disk Utility can create.)   MBR (Master Boot Record) is used historically by Windows (and, therefore, by most computer manufacturers). I'm not certain if you can boot a Mac from an MBR disk; I don't think so. GPT (GUID Partition Table) is generally used in conjunction with Intel's EFI BIOS replacement. As such, it is mostly used by Apple currently in their Intel Macs. Any Mac running 10.4 or above can read a GPT disk; only Intel Macs can boot from them. If a computer has EFI, you can boot Windows on a GPT disk. APM (Apple Partition Map) is what Apple used before the Intel switch. It's been used since 1989 in the Macintosh SE. Intel Macs can boot from and read APM disks. I'd say the assertion you made in the question ("GPT is more useful than MBR") is incorrect: you can certainly boot more computers with an MBR disk than one using GPT. GPT is the way of the future, but it may take a...

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 

This article describes an issue about Apple’s FileVault 2 technology and  Mac OS X 10.7.2 update. Prior versions of FileVault 2 in Mac OS X 10.7.1 and 10.7.0 do not exhibit this behavior. - Here is compiled (from sources) 10.7.2  kernel  and a source  patch  - By default this kernel forbids booting into single-user-mode for everyone, if firevault 2  protection is enabled. - But you can allow one user (e.g. admin or yourself) to boot system to single-user-mode. to do this, boot into osx typing password for that account at efi login screen. Then run this command: ioreg -l -w0 -p IODeviceTree | grep efilogin-unlock-ident you will get result like: | | “efilogin-unlock-ident” = <"4B012BC6-A948-2893-3454-B345307B8234"> copy the value – 4B012BC6-A948-2893-3454-B345307B8234 And insert it into /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist under name suallow, just like in example bellow: Kernel Flags suallow=4B012BC6-A948-2893-3454-B345307B8234 ...

I've tried using EmpireEFI as well as installing OS X from a USB CD drive, but was screwed over by the infamous "still waiting for root device" error, I'd imagine this is because of the 435MT model I have using Jmicron; though I am not sure. On my fantastic and terrible journey to get OS X working on my 435MT I have realized that the parts Dell used in this series greatly varied; so this guide is meant for people who can't get Empire EFI working, and have the Radeon 4850 435MT model. What you need: - An 8G USB stick - Retail Snow Leopard (10A432) - Myhack installer - VoodooHDA.kext (for sound.) - Modded Radeon4800controller.kext - Netkas Radeon drivers - EVOenabler.kext - OSX 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 update - An already working hackintosh - iAtkosv7i / Working Hackintosh or regular Mac.

This is how to create a booting usb from windows without installers or anything else. 1) You will need: Bootsector files (this files are taken from chameleonb build, they are respectivly - Mbr.bin - boot0 and bs32.bin - boot1f32). Preferably latest build of chameleon. Download the tar.gz file and unpack with 7z . 2) Lets begin: BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT ON THE FLASH DRIVE. - You have to have a some form of partition on your USB, so windows can assign a letter to it. If its empty format in FAT32 - Unpack the bootsector arhive and run through CMD this command: "makeusb X:" (WHERE X IS THE LETTER ASSIGNED TO YOUR USB) - Unplug the drive and put it back in - Now you should have a fresh (empty) partition. All you have to do is unpack the trunk build you downloaded in the root of the USB drive. - You should copy boot from /usr/standalone/boot to the root folder of your USB. So that there are atleast 2 folders - Extra/usr and 1 file - boot (not extension). - You're set, ...
