hackintosh

So, I am planning to build a custom hackintosh inside an old MacPro case, like many other people seem to have done. I haven't yet bought the MacPro case, or motherboard, but I am holding off temporarily until I can get more information on how to connect everything together, and the only bit I...

This thread will be dedicated to the discussion of running macOS 13.0 on Unsupported Macs Welcome to the new macOS Ventura on Unsupported Macs thread! We're eagerly awaiting for all our community developers and enthusiasts to test out the new version of macOS. Please play it by ear and only...

I have a bit of a strange situation.. I managed to get Snow Leopard working on my 2012 MacBook Pro Ivy Bridge (Unsupported i7 CPU) but I really want to get some basic video support (multiple resolutions) working. Even without GPU accelleration games etc. run really well but they either run in a...

I installed an app called Sketchy Bar on my computer, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the configuration shown in this picture, taken straight from the Sketchy Bar GitHub page. What commands should I put in, what colors to use, ect.

After days of bleeding hands and using the wrong screwdrivers, I finally finished a complete tear down of my Early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8) There were no parts left inside. Then it hit me. Mac Pro motherboards don’t use standard screw patterns! I am planning on buying a gigabyte micro atx motherboard...

Hey, I know this looks like a stupid question but it's something I've genuinely been curious about. I have several 17" MBPs from 2006 that are pretty much useless due to their internal hardware, but I really love the design, size, and keyboard of those pre-unibody Macs. I was thinking of...

FYI I'm running a hackintosh, but the Mac Pro forum seemed the closest match. I'm currently using a Radeon Pro card with 4 DisplayPort outputs to drive two UP2715K monitors. Each monitor requires two ports. It would be nice to upgrade to a mid-range 6000 series GPU without needing to pay the...

Hello I'm hoping that someone can help me solve this perplexing problem.... I've been running a VMWare Hackintosh for many years and iMessage works just fine. However, I created a 2nd Apple ID and I can't get it working on the same Hackintosh. Here is the breakdown: Apple ID #1 - My primary...

I thought it may be interesting to share a video from a guy I follow, who managed to fit the internals of a MacBook Air into the body of a Windows laptop with touch screen. This is more a proof of concept than a perfectly usable device, but it works (including the touch screen) and made me think...

Hey there! I recently have been pondering about switching to Ubuntu, or an Ubuntu based OS (Zorin/ElementaryOS). I enjoy the Mac ecosystem, but my main Mac is a Hackintosh (Similar specs to a low end 2013 Mac Pro but better GPU) and my MacBooks are a 13" and 17" from 2009 and 2010, respectively...

I got interested in the Hackintosh community, and I wanted to know if my gaming rig was Hackintosh-able. Here are the specs and some pictures: CPU: Intel Core i7-10700F @ 2.9 GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC-Y1 BIOS Version: F1 RAM: Crucial 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060...

I have been working over this for at least 3 weeks now. I have tried unibeast (uefi and legacy), the createinstaller method (uefi and legacy). Also tried MBR and GPT format options but still can't boot up High Sierra. If anyone can help me with the clover and efi to be used for this system, it...

Hi! So I am trying to install Mac Os X Yosemite on Virtual box,on my PC(Windows 10) using AMD,not Intel but using a special bootloader vmdk together with the OS one and a custom kernel for amd processors(basically a hackintosh setup for AMD). However when I boot it shows the Apple logo and gets...

A few months ago I successfully used the macOS Mojave patcher tool to install Mojave onto my mid2011 MacBook Pro. Inside I have new ram (16gb) and replaced the hard drive with a 1tb ssd. My machine has been working phenomenally and have only had an issue today. As per the site recommendation, I...

OK, so this is a crazy, off the wall idea... but what if it was possible to design and implement a replacement PCB that would fit the standard CPU tray and heat sink of a classic Mac Pro 5,1? If you don't mind me summarizing 557 pages and over a million page views from the "Waiting for Mac Pro...

Hey everyone, I just picked up a BCM943602CS Wireless card (PCI-e) for my 2009 Mac Pro that I updated to a 5.1. The card is advertised as Mac compatible and many people use it in the Hackintosh builds, but for some reason I can not get my Mac to recognize it. My OS is Mojave. Has anyone had any...

Hi all, I own a macpro (2012) currently running high sierra with the default Radeon HD 5770 (i think that's the card) I ordered the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 Special Edition and it requires a 8 pin and 6 pin power connectors. I did my research and the few people who posted about this special...

I built a hackintosh years ago then moved on to an official mac. I currently have a late 2013 iMac 27 inch. I want something similar so I will be looking for a nice screen. I basically use Logic pro x and I want to play x-plane 11. Can I get something powerful enough in an HTPC? I don't mind...

I have a deal on getting a Mac Pro Late 2013 Quad Core with 16gb ram for $900, is this worth it? I mean I could go hackintosh and all but I would like my Apple Experience to work seemlessly. I do edit 4K and I know lots of computers struggle in that area in general (we use proxies and etc), but...
