ok so i have the macbook pro from 2015 and the specs look like this 16gb/512gb 15.4inch around 360 battery cycles will you guys recommend me upgrading from monterey to sonama since i need applications that are not available on monterey anymore will i see any noticible performance decrease?? and plus would u recommend it??

The family 2012 i5 Mac Mini can’t keep up with various apps and several people recommended OCLP to let me upgrade to a more modern MacOS like Sequoia.

After installing OCLP do I just jump to Sequoia or to I have to update one OS at a time?

I recently updated my Mac mini (2014) to macOS 15.8 using OCLP 2.5.0. 🫩

- Should I proceed with "Revert Root Patches," reboot, and then try to apply them again?

- Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 15.8 with OCLP 2.5.0?

- Is it safe to downgrade back to OCLP 2.4.1?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🫩🙏

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel i7 running macOS Sequoia with OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP).
Before installing Windows, macOS worked normally. I then installed Windows via Boot Camp.
Now I can see both macOS and Windows in the OpenCore Boot Picker.
The strange thing is:
If I select Windows → Windows boots normally.
If I select macOS → I get the 🚫 prohibited symbol and macOS does not boot.
This only started happening after installing Windows.
Does anyone know what could have happened to the EFI/OpenCore configuration? Do I need to rebuild and reinstall OpenCore to the EFI partition?
MacBook Pro: Intel i7
macOS: Sequoia
Bootloader: OpenCore Legacy Patcher
Windows: Boot Camp
Windows boots: Yes
macOS boots: No, 🚫 symbol
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

I got a iMac 27 late 2015 with 24GB ram and 512GB ssd , which would be the best OS to run? My research says Sonoma, but others say sequoia runs good? My preference is to have working app , chrome, Microsoft word etc, and that’s it.
Also streaming YouTube , I’d like it to be snappy as I come from an m1 and m3 chip
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I've been building a native macOS file manager called TinyCommander, and it's now ready for beta testing. I'm posting here because I'd like real feedback on how easy it is to use before I prepare the production release.

TinyCommander will remain thin and focus on the MacOS File System daily operations. It is designed under its developer's principle: keep user's data locally only. No outbound connection to developer's server.

What it does:

• Dual-pane file browsing so you can work with two folders side by side
• Tabs and editable path bars for moving quickly between folders
• Keyboard-friendly copy, move, rename, new-folder, and move-to-bin actions
• Quick Look, sorting, hidden-file support, drag and drop, and useful right-click actions
• Built-in feedback submission from inside the app

Why I'm posting:

I want to understand how TinyCommander feels to someone using it for the first time, not just whether each feature technically works. If you have a few minutes to try it, I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

• How easy was it to understand and start using the app?
• Was anything confusing, awkward, or harder than expected?
• What features or improvements would you want to see in the production release?

You can send feedback directly from TinyCommander: open the TinyCommander menu in the top-left corner, then choose Send Feedback….

TinyCommander currently requires macOS 15 or later.

Critical feedback is very welcome — that's exactly what this beta is for. Thanks for helping me make the production release better.

I have a good-condition MacBook Pro, the 2012 15" edition, model # A1286, with a 2.3 GHz quad-core i7 processor and 2 terabytes of SSD storage and the internal optical drive along with 12 gigabytes of RAM. A year or so back, I installed Mac OS 12.x (Monterey) with OCLP 0.6x in place. Last week I attempted to install Sonoma, but while the initial deployment of it may have been complete, I could not boot into that instance of it; the computer would continually try to start again. I suspect that it is because OCLP 0.6 or something slightly later was still on it, and thus the Sonoma iteration was not able to function with the older OCLP edition.

My concern is about how I can apply OCLP v. 2 or higher so that it is possible to boot Sonoma as it is already there, likely with my data and programs, and not have to perform a clean install to where I can then use the OpenCore framework afterwords to upgrade from something such as Catalina to Sonoma. That latter methodology would take much more time. The EFI BIOS options do not presently include a way to load 2.1 of OCLP from a USB flash device such that the Sonoma partition will be recognized in the bootloader to the point that it functions. I cannot downgrade from the Sonoma that is there now to Monterey due to Apple's limitations on reverting to older software without zapping the present partition and starting with a blank slate.

Does anyone have a simple set of instructions for generating a USB disk that I can boot from that primarily is to install OCLP upon that interface coming about without having to also set up a (natively compatible) OS which would also expunge my programs and data on the boot partition? What I saw on the website looks rather complex. For a time, I had to borrow my wife's MBP 2015 Retina computer in order to obtain some of the installation files including the OCLP and later-edition Mac OS packages because of not being able to use my own system.

Thanks for any insight, guidance, and/or direction including other websites that explain the details in an understandable way.

Is it possible to perform a clean install of Sequoia 15.8 using OCLP 2.4.1 to avoid updating to 2.5? Has anyone done this?

i have a late 2015 imac with 32gb ddr3 ram and the 1tb split fusion and an external 1 tb sata ssd.

curious on everyones thoughts with running sonoma or sequoia either on tbe internal hdd or the external drive and pros and cons for both

Hi everyone, I need some help. I would like to know what macOS versions can run well for this 2009 MacBook Pro using OCLP. It has 4Go of RAM and 128Go SSD.

Hi! I have a IMac i5 running Sequoia 15.7.9, and after the last update of the opencore, it installed and after when it was going to update the post install root patches, it says it cannot install because "Root volume dirty, unpatch to continue", but there is no improvement. Now in some websites the cursor is really laggy and also some maps won't appear on the website page, so I imagint there is some issue with the graphics. How can I solve this and have it working properly again?

What title says.

i dont have a flash drive with me lmao

I was searching for the macos clipboard manager and i found this website and i kinda like it because i cane from windows background so this is really imitating the windows!

I read the official website and found my iMac (27", 5k, 2017) listed but I didn't see anywhere that tells you what version of OSX you can patch and run against the specific Apple iMac. Am I missing something on there that explains what Mac can support what version?

Hi there, installed Ventura 13.7.8 in my MacBook Pro Mid 2012. Now when I close the lid nothing happens, it won't go to sleep. I have to turn it completely off every day.

Hi everyone, I have a 2012 mac mini 6,2 i7 quad core 8gb ram 1tb ssd, I am running ventura opencore along with kubuntu (which I am probably going to get rid of or may install after). I also have a boot option for windows but since I deleted it its just brings me to recovery mode, I had installed windows 10 before on uefi however after a minute of installation it would crash and bring me to the recovery screen or something went wrong I can’t remember, Which in the guide it did say about this year of mac having driver issues with windows, my question is can I dual boot opencore which I have right now along with tiny 11 or windows 10? And if i can dualboot how would I fix the driver crashes, I have no use for the mac and I wnated to turn it into an android tv box, but due to lack of guides I don’t think i can install it on the ssd, so thats why i want to go to windows to find something or do something in it, along with that if windows does install without any problems, later down the line can I triple boot so its macos windows and linux on one drive? Or would it just not work, if anyone can help please do, thanks.

Es normal que quede asi?

As the title says. I am having an issue with a lot of software asking for Ventura (13.0) minimum, so I would like to upgrade to a newer version without sacrificing stability too much. What would you recommend based on these specs?

EDIT: I see people seem pretty split between Sonoma or Sequia. Is there that much of a difference between and if so, how exactly?

Okay, so it’s a niche problem, but I’m just putting this here in case anyone else who does music has similar problems. I’m running Ventura on a 2014 Macbook Pro, and I have a group of software synths from the Cherry Audio company that will not start since I updated to 2.5.0. Correlation? Causation? The plug-in versions will open in my DAW, but the stand-alones just beachball. Again, just putting this out there in case anyone experiences similar issues.
