Bought the hardware for a Catalina build almost 2 years ago and never got around to doing it. My current machine is still running El Capitan so it's definitely time for the upgrade. Needless to say, it's been a while since I have played around with installs. Big thanks to nottooshabby, flavioalves, nathanh0, and G5Heaven for their posts on Gigabyte Z390 builds. Have gone through the whole Dortania guide and played around with various entries but can't seem to get things to the install... Read more Author: machsurfer [► Source]

Apologies if this subject has already been addressed. My Goolge-fu has not been able to turn up any substantial results. I recently built a new machine that wasn't initially intended as a Hackintosh (specs below). It was an upgrade to a OBS capture PC running Windows (which works fine naturally). When I realized how much extra "oomph" I could potentially get out of this machine as compare to my Late 2014 Mac Mini (I5-4278U 8GB RAM, with hack to run eGPU on Thunderbolt 2), I though well...

I just upgraded to Mojave from High Sierra. I had to weed out some old kexts to get sound to work. The system worked fine for a week until today. Now when I start the boot of OSX from Clover, the Apple progress bar proceeds half way across and the system re-boots. The only thing I did differently today was I left a USB drive inserted in one of the reports when I was booting the system. I don't think that should have changed any thing. I can work around the boot problem by using the -x... Read more Author: rcverlato [► Source]

So I have this ThinkCentre M93p Tiny that I did successfully install Big Sur on like 2 years ago. I then installed another OS on this machine and saved the OC folder with the working configuration just in case. I am now trying to install it again.

Since it did not show me a black screen after the verbose output, I thought trying the old Big Sur configuration that used to work and I got the same problem. Since I upgraded the CPU from an...

Hi all: I'm planning to build a machine that will be running 10.13 High Sierra. I do use a couple WinDOS programs, but not very often. So I ask: should I make my machine a dual-boot with two drives (one macOS and one WinDOS 7), or just one drive with macOS and use Parallels to run the stuff that I sometimes need? I do have a couple of concerns: I've seen that Dell machines all have a blue SATA port ("SATA 0" on each and every one) and that's always where the boot drive gets plugged in... Read more [► Source]

My install routine say “not enough disk space to install” I’ve discovered that there is an extra volume on the boot drive that almost fills the drive.

I don’t want to loose all my installed applications. Author: michaelbp [► Source]

The OpenCore Install Guide, under USB Creation suggests USBToolBox - BUT then the toolbox info says when working from MacOS to use USBMap instead. (USBToolBox is for use on Windows) USBMap has a nice Quick STart guide along with the download. After running step 1. Discover Ports and 2.

I want to upgrade my Mojave 10.14.4 machine to Catalina. While running under a normal boot, I started up the Catalina install file and it started up just fine, then counted down remaining minutes from about 26 to maybe 3 minutes, then wanted to reboot. So I rebooted. When it came back, it didn't apparently realize it was in the middle of an install so it did nothing else, and it still shows running Mojave 10.14.4. Is there a way to kickstart the install back to finish up? Author: pizzaguy [► Source]

Hello! Long time lurker, small time poster. TL;DR I cannot seem to create a bootable Clover USB stick with my Catalina 10.14.7 Disk Utilities. I'm basically trying to get a latest version of Clover (r5151) onto a stick to boot and test update Big Sur on to a cloned Catalina drive, so as not to pollute my stable Catalina build.

Guide Step by Step: Understanding the Error : The [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] is a common error in the Hackintosh process, often related to misconfigurations in EFI or issues with the hardware compatibility. Given your hardware specs, particularly the 12th Gen Intel Core i5 and NVIDIA GPU, there are specific considerations to address. Verify BIOS Settings : Ensure that your BIOS is set up correctly for a Hackintosh. Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and VT-d (if not needed). Set SATA to AHCI mode. Enable XHCI Hand-Off. If available, disable CFG-Lock or alternatively use the AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock quirks in OpenCore. Review EFI Folder : Ensure that your EFI folder is correctly structured for an Intel 12th Gen CPU. Your EFI should include necessary kexts like VirtualSMC, Lilu, WhateverGreen, and appropriate network kexts for Intel Wi-Fi and Ethernet. CPU and GPU Compatibility : The 12th Gen Intel CPUs require specific configurations. Ensure you are following the guide for Alde...
