Hi! At start I'm very sorry for my English. It's not my mother tounge. I'm quite new in this. All I wanted is cheap Mac device that is quite powerfull so I bought 2009 Mac Pro with HD 5870. All I did was to change graphics card so I bought RX 470 and Installed it. Beacuse I wanted to play some...

I used to use rEFInd as a boot loader, but with the upgrade to Big Sur there have apparently been changes to the firmware that interferes with rEFInd's operation. So I am back to holding down the option key. Yay. <--(sarcasm) If I tried to boot normally, rEFInd should kick in and take me to...

I went away for the Christmas holiday only to return to days later to see that my Mac mini head crashed and on the screen was displayed the boot loader screen for the clover efi. I believe clover is related to running macOS on a hackintosh. I don’t know much more about it than that. My internal...

I am trying to run Apple Hardware Test. When I try to boot into it I get sent to internet recovery, then after a while I get an error on a black screen: Error message: Cannot Load "EFI/DRIVERS/TESTSUPPORT.EFI This thread on the Apple forum suggests it's broken now for older systems. I did...

I have a 2011 iMac with Bluetooth 2.1, and recently purchased a Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle required for my new wireless mouse. The dongle works great - I paired my mouse and keyboard to it without issue and used the following terminal command to ensure macOS uses the dongle instead of the...

Hello! I hope this is the right place. I tried to post to the Netkas forums but it's not sending me an activation email for some reason. I have an iMac 4,1 I picked up from a garage sale that I'm trying to install Linux to, but can't. I believe the core issue is that I cannot update the boot...

I am using a Mac Pro 2013 6-Core 3.5GHz 64GB RAM Dual D500 machine with a fresh install of macOS Catalina 10.5.3 which was working like a charm (flawlessly) until I tried to install Windows 10 Pro (64 bits) using BootCamp, everything went fine until macOS asked to reboot the machine to continue...

I recently used an old HP with UEFI to install Windows 10 x64 onto a pre-made Boot Camp partition on the hard drive in my MP. Everything went surprisingly well with it, except I'm surprised to find that the RAM only shows 32GB usable, even though Windows detected all 64GB in my MP. I know the MP...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forums. Since Saturday, I've been fiddling with a Late 2008 MacBook Pro (15"). For whatever reason, it just does not want Windows installed on it. I've tried about 5 different Windows XP ISOs (booting from both CDs and flash drives) and none of them are...

I have a non EFI flashed 1080TI(11G-P4-6798-KR) using the SATA ports for power (2x 6in SATA Power to 1x 8 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter) alongside the default gpu power cable i believe to prevent the unexpected shutdown crash (still happens on high load). I was having an issue...

Besides switching back to the OEM SSD just to update the EFI firmware. Are there other workarounds? Opening the iMac for each OS Update that requires an updated BootROM will be a pain. If my boot drive is an External NVMe SSD (ex: Samsung X5) will I ever have problems with the BootROM when...

From reading several threads, I am sure the AMD GPU is failing on my 2011 MacBook Pro. I have seen the instructions to boot in safe mode and use commands to eventually turn off the AMD GPU and turn on the integrated Intel GPU. Here's what I did (using the AppleMacFinder procedure...

Hi all. I have a mac pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) and am looking to beef up the GPU a little (and get mojave/metal compatibility). I know Windows cards can and do work out of the box in later OSX revisions with the caveat that the boot screen won't work. I use filevault and would like a boot screen...
