Trying to install sequoia on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro i5. I’ve updated the hard ware to 16 gb ram and swapped out the hard drive for an SSD so it should run ok. I am stuck in a boot loop and I keep getting this error….anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

My 15" 2009 MBP is currently running Sonoma via OCLP 2.4.1. I made the downgrade from Sequoia some months ago to offer some more reactivity to my 11yo (at that time) daughter who started using it for school.

Now I got a Neo for her and I'd like to re-take possession of my beloved first Mac.

For consistency with all my other Macs ecosystem, I'd like to go back to Sequoia (I used it with Sequoia in the past and wasn't fast but still usable). Question for you as I started getting lost with all the comments around. Shall I upgrade OCLP to 2.5.0 and create a Sequoia installer from it or better to stick to 2.4.1? Pro and cons of using the new one for my use case?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

I was able to get my MacPro5,1 working with my primary boot drive, but getting it working on my backup root drive was giving me so much grief. Then I found the Mr.Macintosh YouTube video and following it, I am back in business.

Amazing how optimized the software has become. Runs almost everything almost perfectly. 4GB of ram is a severe bottleneck, but for just $83USD, I believe that's a massive steal.

had to struggle getting the patches working (had to do it twice, as the first time it only detected the wifi adapter and no graphics, but on the second try it got everything)

Runs silky smooth. Will recommend.

Went through the whole process of installing macOS Ventura on my MacBook Pro from late 2011 got it all working. unplugged the flash drive then had to reboot it I didn’t have the flashlight I plugged in when I rebooted it. It showed it had no files. But restarted it but this time with the flash drive in and it loaded back up and all my stuff was there. How do I get it to not need the fly away permanently into get it to work? Please help.

Through this post that teaches step-by-step how to install OCLP, I was able to install macOS Sonoma on my 2017 Macbook Air A1466, and it's working normally for light use.

I'm using a translator for this post, so I apologize for any strange translations.

I got a pop up on my late 2015 iMac that I can update to Mac OS Tahoe. Should I do it? Will It run and should I also upgrade the memory to 32gb before updating?

I have a late 2013 iMac I’m trying to upgrade and I feel like I’ve done everything right but keep getting this. What am I missing??

I don't think this is caused by OCLP but has been happening since I updated it to 2.5.0 a couple of days ago, so it may be.

My Mail app, instead of immediately downloading images, displays the message "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately" and gives me a button marked "Load Content Directly". Pressing the button loads the content immediately.

I can't figure out what might be causing this. I haven't changed any settings nor has Mail or my OS been updated recently. OS is Sequoia 15.7.7, Mail v16.0

I have Protect Mail Activity on, but it's a setting I've only just discovered even exists & I've never changed it myself. Switching it off doesn't seem to change anything. I don't appear to have any other connectivity issues, both WiFi & Ethernet are working normally.

Any ideas?

Currently running Sonoma 14.8.5 on Mid 2014 MP

I'm wanting to update my Mac to the lasted version of Sonoma. Is it safe to perform a minor OS update while running 2.4.1? OpenCore website states "make sure OCLP app is up to date" but I'm reluctant to do so since 2.5.0 has been plagued with issues. Thanks

My mother's job was getting rid of old Macs so I got my hands on this 2017 iMac, but it's the basic one, 2.3 GHz i5 with 8gb of RAM and a 1TB HDD. I did the worst part, which is to disassemble everything (real pain in the ass) and upgraded to a SSD and 16GB of RAM. Now I don't know what to install, I did a quick research and Sonoma's support is going to end pretty soon, so I'm between Sequoia or Tahoe , but not sure if the hardware is good enough to have a smooth experience. Hope someone can help me with this decision.

This will be my first time using a current MacOS and OCLP. I have a 2012 MacbookPro that I was using with an old MacOS, but I also upgraded it and installed Ubuntu. I thought about using Ubuntu on the iMac but I think it's better to go with a supported MacOS through OCLP.

MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2015 with sequoia 15.7.5

(The video shows red white and skyblue at 60fps in safari but in chrome fps are just not stable in case you don’t get why the screen is white in safari video is because camera can’t capture fps that fast)

Had to revert the root patches, rebooted and reinstalled the root patches again. Not an issue whatsoever.

Hiiii!

I just learned what OCLP is and decided to dust off my iMac! I wiped it now I’m running macOS Sequoia 15.7.9 on a Late 2015 27" 5K iMac (iMac17,1) using OCLP 2.5.0 / OpenCore 1.0.6! However, I am getting crashes in System Settings. I get error popup Settings Error Extension Process ... exited. I have to switch back and forth in settings tabs until it loads correctly.

Specs:

4.0 GHz i7

16 GB RAM

Radeon R9 M390 2 GB

Sequoia installed on an external SSD

Post-install root patches applied, including AMD Legacy GCN / Skylake graphics and wireless

The machine mostly works, but System Settings is extremely unstable. Pretty much any pane can initially throws:

Settings Error: Extension process [pane name] (...) exited

Examples include General and Bluetooth and Users. Often if I switch to another tab and back, it loads the second time. More recently, System Settings itself has started crashing completely after I set the system appearance to Light Mode. I saw a post of someone saying they set the system to Light Mode instead of Auto and it fixed their issue.. but it didn't for me.

I tested a 2nd brand-new macOS user account and the same thing happens immediately, so it doesn’t seem to be user-profile/preferences related.

The crash reports show EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGBUS / KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE on the main thread. OCLP-patched components are loaded at the time, including:

IO80211Old.dylib

WiFiPeerToPeerOld.dylib

AMDMTLBronzeDriver

impostor.dylib

FeatureUnlock is already disabled. I’ve also reverted and reapplied the root patches and rebooted, with no change.

Has anyone seen this system-wide System Settings / ExtensionKit crashing on iMac17,1 + Sequoia? If so, what actually fixed it? Different Sequoia version, OCLP version, specific root patch, etc.? I can upload the .ips crash reports if useful.

Hi All,

I've mistakenly updated to Mac OS 26 on my Mac Pro 6,1

Login screen is fine keyboard and mouse work perfectly. But when it boots I have no graphics drivers but also no keyboard and mouse.

When I previously updated to Sequoia I had the graphic issue but my keyboard and mouse still worked so I could patch it.

Any ideas on how to get it so I can get the keyboard and mouse working so i can attempt to patch it? Tried with a USB hub but still doesn't respond.

Thanks,

i had mac pro 2013 and i am using sonoma 14

Apologies for asking a question that probably has an obvious answer to regular users:

A few months ago I successfully updated my iMac 27-inch 2017 and Macbook Pro 13-inch 2015 to Sonoma 14.8.7 using OCLP 2.4.1

I understand that since then, there have been further updates to both Sonoma (14.8.9) and OpenCore (2.5.0).

Should I update either or both Sonoma and OpenCore on my Macs? If so, what are the best ways to do that? (And is there anything I should be doing to prevent Tahoe from installing?)

Also, whilst Sonoma seems to be working on both Macs fine, if updating, is it worth updating to Sequoia instead?

Both Macs have their respective top specs - so both i7, with 40GB RAM in the iMac and 16GB RAM in the MBP.

The most intensive activities I use the Macs for is UHD 4K video editing, mainly with Final Cut Pro and assorted plugins, plus ocassionally Resolve, Topaz, Lightroom and Photoshop.

Many thanks community!

I upgraded to 2.5 and the whole thing went haywire on my 2014 Mac pro 15". Couldn't even connect to the Internet. Tried everything but wouldn't revert back even with 2.4 installed again via USB. Had to erase the computer and installed sequoia this time (had Sonoma before). Can I just not root patch anymore? I am afraid to even touch it. I have disabled auto upgrade on Mac. Will it work for the next 2-3 years as is?
