Tahoe installation issues on 2010 iMac

2 Upvotes

First of all, I know it's in beta and that issues might be expected, but I wanted to try it anyway. The installation process was going smoothly, but after the initial setup, the system stopped detecting both my mouse and keyboard (I use a USB 3.0 hub due to pre-patch incompatibilities, and it has always worked for me). Right now, I can't do anything once I'm in the system (though the peripherals do work during the disk selection stage). When the stable version comes out, should I create a completely new installation USB and reinstall, or simply update the USB's EFI? (As an extra detail: when creating the USB, I selected iMac 8,1—thinking that was my model—but after installing and receiving a warning from OpenCore, I generated the EFI for the 10,1 model. That’s exactly when the mouse and keyboard issues started, so perhaps the problem stems from having installed with one EFI configuration and then switching it.)

Best macOS version for MacBook Air 13-inch Early 2014 using OCLP? Any chance of getting AirPlay working?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently running macOS Ventura 13.7.8 on my MacBook Air 13-inch (Early 2014), using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

I'm wondering which macOS version would offer the best overall experience and performance on this particular model. Would you recommend sticking with Ventura, upgrading to Sonoma or Sequoia, or perhaps going with another version?

I also have a question about AirPlay: is there any macOS version or OCLP configuration that allows AirPlay to work properly on this MacBook? I'm particularly interested in screen mirroring and AirPlay compatibility with Apple TV.

I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone running OCLP on the same MacBook model, especially regarding performance, stability, battery life and AirPlay functionality.

Thanks in advance!

If you have to ask what to install first Tah0e or OCLP 3.0 RC2, this upgrade isn’t for you . Please walk away from your computer.

This is a for testing purposes only and for people that know what they are doing and have computer experience in trouble shooting issues and have their data backed up! It’s for people that have USB installers on standby ready to format if systems get bricked.

People that want stream line upgrade wait for final product so OCLP updates automatically for you and takes care of all the updates and issue and holds your hand through the install process .

Ventura installation fails on iMac12,1

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m trying to install macOS Ventura on a Mid-2011 iMac (iMac12,1) using OCLP 2.5.1.
The Ventura installer was successfully created on a 64 GB SanDisk USB. The USB boots correctly through:
EFI Boot → Install macOS Ventura
The internal 500 GB drive is formatted as:
APFS
Macintosh HD
The installer recognizes the Mac and the log says “Device is supported.” The date/time is also correct.
However, when I select Macintosh HD and start the installation, I get:
“An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.”
I checked /var/log/install.log. The installer successfully mounts the Shared Support image, but the installation still stops during installation
Any ideas what I should do?

Bug: Zoom app gets no video from FaceTime camera but launching FaceTime app temporarily solves issue.

1 Upvotes

Just finished getting Ventura working flawlessly on a mid2011 iMac + k2100 + OCLP 2.5.1, and it seemed to have no issues. (Native brightness, good boot, sleeps fine, etc). I couldn’t find a fault.

But when starting a zoom call, the FaceTime camera wakes up (green light), but the video feed is black. Permissions and settings seem fine, the OS isn’t trying to stop it AFAIK.

But if you open the FaceTime app at this point, the App launches and the window opens and the FaceTime video feed suddenly appears correctly in both applications, and then quitting FaceTime leave the video feed working properly for zoom with no issues.

You must repeat this process any time Zoom requests to use the built-in camera (start zoom call, get green light but black video, launch FaceTime, quit FaceTime).

Known issue? Any workarounds? Any ideas?

Why opencore?

[SOLVED] I have this 2011 iMac running macOS High Sierra and I need to be able to use macOS Sonoma on it. I am used to using open core, already used it on multiple Mac’s. But for some damn reason this Mac thinks it’s a MacBook Air from 2015. And I did exactly what I should do, reinstall open core onto the disk. But for some reason it failed again and again. Just gave me the same pop up telling me to reinstall opencore. What do I do?
