[Guide] How to patch DSDT for working battery status

Background

Because the battery hardware in PCs is not compatible with Apple SMbus hardware, we use ACPI to access battery state when running OS X on laptops. Generally I recommend you use ACPIBatteryManager.kext, available here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Battery-Driver

Later releases of AppleACPIPlatform are unable to correctly access fields within the EC (embedded controller). This causes problems for ACPIBatteryManager as the various ACPI methods for...

I followed TonyMac's guide on how to generate an SSDT but no matter what I do, even deleting all the SSDT's from the folder prior to running the script, I get 5 SSDT's written to '~/Library/ssdtPRGen/'...named SSDT.aml, SSDT-1.aml etc. Some of them are 23kb in size, others 2kb and no idea which one to use.

I have recently started getting into basic app development for Android and Windows. Although I will probably never release anything, I wanted to start messing around iOS app development however this requires a mac which is something I can't afford. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1545 that I have seen people posting about online supposedly getting OSX working. Those posts seem old and the hardware configuration is different to mine.

So would it be possible to install any version of OSX on this...

Fix incorrect time in Windows + OSX dual boot

I just thought I'd give people an easy to find guide for this information. Hope the mods are alright with that, and that this doesn't violate any posting guidelines.

1. Why does this happen?


The simple explanation is; Windows uses Greenwhich time, and OSX uses Universal Time. It's as simple as that. Every time the other OS boots up - it changes around your BIOS settings in-order to 'correct' the CPU clock timer - which is essential for any computer to calculate...

I've had my hackintosh running smoothly with that motherboard, a bunch of drives, 16 gigs of ram, and an I7-2600K. Years. Now I just cannot get it updated to El Capitan. It starts the first time but once I use Multibeast I get a boot loop.

Anyone want to help? I am not sure what to do at this point. It would be great to do it over Skype, something like that.

I have a Hackintosh running Clover and Yosemite fine without any issues (the site helped a lot - cheers).
I also now want to be able to run Windows on it also, but I'm not sure the easiest way (or how) to do it.

I have a legit Windows 10 on a USB and a separate internal SSD drive and I assume the easiest method is to install Windows on this SSD and boot into it when needed - or is virtualisation easier?

Does anybody have the step by step instructions of how to do either? This was my first...

Hello, everyone.
I have a bit of an issue that is really getting on my nerves. I haven't been able to find what causes it so I seek your help here.

Every time I hit the right mouse button on the desktop or in Finder window, whether it's clean space of a folder or some file, it hangs completely! By completely I mean, I can't do anything with Finder until I at least log out and log back in.

I have just installed the system, nothing else is there, except Clover (provided by MultiBeast...
