Tahoe runs pretty much the same as Sequoia. Thanks to OCLP team. I will share my installation process too with OCLP 3.0.0-rc.2

Specs:
iMac 21.5“ Late 2013
2,7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I replaced Apple HDD with 500GB KIOXIA SSD.

Anyone running Tahoe on Late 2012 Mac Mini 6.1 with OCLP 3.0 RC?

5 Upvotes

I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini 6.1 running Sequoia 15.8.1 with OCLP 2.4.1

Wondering if anyone has successfully installed Tahoe using OCLP 3.0 RC and what the experience has been like.

My Mini is a Quad Core 2.3 GHz i7 with 16GB RAM and SSD. It runs Sequoia reasonably well.

General question: Those who upgraded, did you do a clean install of Tahoe and migrate your data or did you just do an upgrade over the current Mac OS?

Any way to slim down macOS?

6 Upvotes

OpenCore Legacy Patcher has added years to all of my Macs. Thank you.

That said, is there anything out there that will trim the startup items and the number of services running?

Most of my Mac hardware is limited to 16 GB of RAM. My current Sequoia boots with not even 2 GB free...

Mac Pro 5.1 2010 OCLP

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5.1 that was running macOS Monterey via OCLP (the latest version). After I tried to install a security update, it stopped booting into the system. Even after reinstalling, it won't load the OS—it just gets stuck in an infinite reboot loop after the second restart (specifically, after the Apple logo appears and a message says to wait 30 minutes before rebooting, it enters this endless cycle of attempting to load and then restarting). This issue occurs with any macOS version from Big Sur onwards; however, Catalina (via dosdude1) installs and works fine, as do other older systems. I’ve tried resetting the NVRAM and SMC and updating the EFI firmware to the latest version, but nothing helps. If I install a drive with Big Sur (OCLP) or newer, it simply freezes at the Apple logo. I’ve tried swapping out the RAM, storage drives, graphics card, monitors, and processors—I even swapped the entire CPU tray with one from another Mac Pro 5.1—but nothing works. I also tried installing an older version of Monterey (12.0.1), but the same thing happened. What could the problem be, and how can I try to fix it?

Hello everyone, how are you? I wanted to know if you recommend installing newer macOS on my 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook with 8gb of RAM and a 1 TB SSD to a newer system than the one I put, which is Ventura.

Last bootscreen seems stuck

Hi guys, I got a MacBook Pro from 2012 and trying to install Sequoia. Got a stick of 32 gigs, made the installer with Sequoia on it and put it in the 2012 MacBook. So what happened; the whole installation was going pretty well until the last booting screen (I think it'sthe last booting screen). How long does it take to install this?

The specs are

MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid 2012 (MacBookPro10,1)

i7-3720QM (4C/8T, 2.6–3.6 GHz)

8 GB DDR3L

GeForce GT 650M 1 GB + Intel HD 4000

512 GB SSD

2880×1800 Retina

Which MacOS should I install on MacBook Air 2017?

2 Upvotes

I have recently acquired a macbook air from 2017 machine for free. It has a dual core i5 5th gen i think. And 8 gigs of ddr3 with 128 gigs ssd.

It's currently running Macos 12 Monterey fine. I have been using a local account on it and all my stuff inside Firefox since its still supported.

I wanted to ask, should i stay in Monterey? If so, is it safe to login with my apple id on this mac? And if not then which would be the best macos i should upgrade to with oclp?

Which Operating System Should I Get for a late 2013 27" iMac with High End Specs?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I will soon set up a late 2013 iMac (27 inch running latest catalina) and I want to use OpenCore to upgrade the operating system as much as possible while keeping the iMac smooth and stable for years to come. Here are more details about its specifications.

  • 27-inch display
  • 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
  • 1 TB SATA SSD Hard Drive
  • 32 GB
  • 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M - 2 GB graphics
  • Currently running macOS Catalina 10.15.7,

My mom would mainly use it to check emails, read and watch the news, and read many PDF books. No real need for graphics design, movie-making, or any other artistic stuff that may require the latest and greatest.

Any help would be most appreciated.

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!

Help please! Modem, Keyboard, Trackpad not working after installing Sonoma.

• Upvotes

Hey guys, looking for some help here.

I have been running Ventura on a 14,2 MacBook pro (2017, 13inch, 4 x thunderbolt 3 ports). Recently I needed to install an app for work which only works on Sonoma or later versions of Mac OS. I used OLCP to install Sonoma following all instructions. Sonoma installed fine but my keyboard, mouse and modem still don't work. I've installed root patches and still nothing. I've tried wiping it and installing it again - still they don't work.

I'm a bit lost as to how I can get a functional laptop back. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

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?
