I use a fenvi t919 and macOS Big Sur. Computer specs below and to the left. The bluetooth chipset is still supported. I have noticed many users posting about losing Bluetooth when going from 11.6.5 to 11.6.6. Initially, an nvram reset fixes the problem and bluetooth is restored. Then, the next cold boot after that Bluetooth is gone again. Attached is the EFI I'm using if anyone has any ideas. I've tried re-mapping the USB ports and also swapped out USBports kext with the old USBinjectall... Read more Author: LoveAppleTimmu [► Source]

Hi Everyone, I have an old nuc that wasnt being used for anything. I installed High Sierra on it and then direct upgrade to Catalina. When I open up the app store, the machine freezes. It boots quickly has sound and network working (wired, I dont have a wireless card installed yet). I was curious of any thought on why that would happen? The specs are: i5-4250U 8gb of ram (playing on upgrading to 16) Intel HD-5000 graphics Crucial 240gb SSD Author: JustGeeGz [► Source]

Hi, let's start with the device config: CPU: i3-4160 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3V plus No display card.

Hello Folks, I searched several Threads through google and found probably the same issue at other users, but none of their solutions were satisifying. My Clover installtion is stuck at the boot logo with the error shown in the file. Does anybody recall a solution for this kernel related issue. I remember, that when I installed Catalina on VMWare I had to add the following parameter to the vmx file: cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101" Do I have to add the same value...

Hi, I'm trying to get my hackOSX going again after I broke it a few years back... been lasy and running on windows as well as a straight MBP. I'm thinking to put it on Catalina as that's what I'm currenty on on my MBP.. separate question - should I just skip Catalina and go straight to Big Sur, Monteray or Ventura? I'm on a (pretty old now) Haswell set up with a 4770k processor. I have "csrutil" disable and checked the status to confirm that. I've run Unibeast several times now using...

Hi everyone. I have a working dual-monitor setup with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. Until short my monitors consisted of 1) some AOC 21,5" (1920x1080) monitor and 2) an quite old Acer 22" (1680x1050). "Until short" means, the second monitor (the Acer) died a couple of days ago and I replaced it with an PB Viseo243D (still had this somewhere in storage). Now, my issue is: MacOS does not seem to recognize the new monitor but thinks that the Acer is still connected and thus I cannot change the... Read more Author: sodom76 [► 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).

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]

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.
