Hi good people of tonymaxc86,

Hi to all! I just finished building my Hackintosh, but I need your help. It's my first time and I'm so excited But I have a strange problem (for now, i hope it will be the only one) when installing High Sierra:
I have done all the steps in the installation guide, configured BIOS and boot the USB. When I format the SSD and return to installation menu to select in which drive I want to install macOS, the keyboard don't mark any disk and do anything. I can only go back. So I can't continue...

macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

Native macOS power management delivers the best combination of processor and graphics performance and efficiency. The ingredients are an installed processor XCPM enabling ssdt or correctly configured Clover setting, a compatible system definition and the native power management kext. Native power management does not require specific BIOS settings or anything more than installing one power management ssdt or setting Clover...

Hello folks,

When I finally built my first hackintosh was 8 years ago with i7-920 with a great help from you guys here. Now I am trying to create another one with the below specs:
- i7-5820k
- x99 Sabertooth
- 560ti Twin Frozr
- Ripjaws DDR4 16g
- Kingston V300 250gb
- Seagate Barracuda 1tb
- Corsair CX750

The thing is my current spec seems quite unfriendly with common hackintosh builds and also it looks like there has been so much change in method and patches - it is honestly challenging...

Overview

The purpose of this guide is to explain how to use the class-code spoof technique to keep un-patched IONVMeFamily.kext (incompatible with most PC NVMe SSDs) from loading such that HackrNVMeFamily can be used along side it in EFI/Clover/kexts or installed to the system volume (/Library/Extensions, /System/Library/Extensions).

I first published the technique on insanelymac:...

Preliminary testing shows GenericUSBXHCI.kext now working in 10.11.2 with no kernel panics.

The kext, which was unstable and caused kernel panics on 10.11.0 and 10.11.1 is now working for 3rd Party ASMedia and VIA USB 3.0 hubs (Intel ports are native) as well as ASMedia USB 3.1 hubs on 100 series motherboards.

Unfortunately this kext is loading but not working for NEC/Renesas 3rd Party USB 3.0 on H67N and X58, although it does load without...

Introduction

I managed to install MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 on this ultrabook, and I plan to keep it for a long time (min 2 years) and use it as my daily-driver machine.




LTS - Long-Term Support

My commitment is to keep this thread organised for a long time (thus the "LTS" tag), and to report on the first post every community finding that further improves system functionality, reliability and performance.

Hi Guys,

I have installed macOS 10.13 High Sierra on my Lenovo ideapad 100-15IBD.

CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500 + Nvidia Geforce 920M(Disabled it with nv_disable=1 as Optimus is not comaptible with macOS)

Background Information:
My install of High Sierra is Successful so far as it is very stable and everything seems to work except for sleep.

At first, sleep did not worked at all as my laptop immediately turned on after I put my computer to sleep.
After I patched...

Hardware
- CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz
- GPU build-in Intel HD Graphics 520. Works for me. HDMI video works out of the box, I attached a Full HD monitor (1920x1080) and it works just fine. GPU consumes 1.5Gb of memory, I found no way to reduce this amount so far. Later I attached one more monitor using VGA slot, all the three monitors are working fine...

Hi, I am trying to install MAC OS on my Latitude 6410 Laptop but am having trouble with installing High Sierra. It is having trouble with USB controllers as it is stopping at "Still waiting for root device". I want to try and use Yosemite instead but cant find how to download the image. I have High Sierra installed on another Laptop but can find Yosemite in the app store. Is there anyway to get the image anther way that will work with Unibeast?

I upgraded my MSI low profile 4GB RX 560 to a Gigabyte GV-RX580AORUS-8GD. No software changes required but the card failed less than a week after installation. The card was a little long for my needs so I returned it and purchased the MSI RX 580 8G V1. As far as I know this is the shortest RX 580 card one can buy that isn't in an external firewire case. I've been using the MSI card for several weeks now with heavy graphics use. Seems to work without a hitch.

Overview

In order to make many OS X features work well on a laptop, you will always need a properly patched DSDT (and maybe some of the SSDTs). The purpose of this guide is to provide a foundation for proper patching of your OEM DSDT/SSDTs.

Advanced users may wish to implement hotpatching via Clover. See guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-using-clover-to-hotpatch-acpi.200137/

Although you may be tempted to use a DSDT from another computer, it will...

Hello... was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue on 10.13.5 (17F77) with NVIDIA Web Driver 387.10.10.10.35.106. It's the only remaining glitch with my system.

Problem: if the displays are allowed to sleep overnight with Safari left open with a video fullscreened... then they refuse to wake up the next morning. Hibernate and system sleep are both disabled but I have set the displays to sleep after 15min in System Preferences. As far as I can tell, the system is still...
