Re: How to install OS X Mountain Lion in Virtualbox with iAtkos


Unfortunately, Virtualbox doesn't officially support Mac OS X, meaning that graphics support is infeasible. I believe that VMWare Workstation does include graphics acceleration with its OS X virtual machines, but I'm unfamiliar with those installation methods.

I wouldn't recommend it. AMD processors have very poor Mac OS X support (and AMD integrated graphics don't work at any level).

If you have a compatible graphics card with working graphics acceleration, Logic should work fine on a Hackintosh.

I wouldn't recommend it. AMD processors have really bad Mac OS X support.

Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it. The 4752z only seems to use the Intel Pentium B960 processor, which doesn't include compatible integrated graphics. Also, there don't seem to be any relevant guides for Hackintoshing that laptop.

Does the built-in WiFi card work, or does it need to be replaced?

Virtualbox hasn't officially supported Mac OS X in years. However, it still "works" (unofficially, at least-- no need for a VMWare unlocker equivalent yet). I'm not sure what's causing your kernel panic. Have you tried using the iAtkos Virtualbox method instead? http://www.macbreaker.com/2013...

It's possible, but probably not. The 7741G-374G50Mnkk uses a first-generation Intel processor and an incompatible discrete graphics card from the AMD Radeon 5400 series-- so even if you can install Mac OS X on it, you may not be able to get graphics working properly.

Mountain Lion won't be compatible with that computer. The integrated graphics on the Core 2 Duo don't work in Mac OS X, and Mountain Lion requires at least 2 GB of RAM to operate. Sorry!

There are lot of things that might be causing that error. Make sure that AHCI mode is turned on in your BIOS. If that doesn't work, try using the boot flag "USBBusFix=Yes" (without quotation marks). If that doesn't work, try re-making your Niresh DVD.

View Only Unread Messages in a Gmail Inbox with 2 Simple Tricks #Mac





Gmail logo Gmail is an excellent mail client, but one feature that has always felt missing was a simple sorting ability to view only the unread email messages residing in an inbox. It turns out you can show only the unread messages with Gmail though, you just have to use either a simple search operator to reveal only unread messages, or use a different Inbox sorting method that displays unread emails first regardless of the message age. Using either method is very simple, so pick whichever is best for your situation.




Show Only Unread Messages in the Gmail Inbox with Search




This uses a search function, making it temporary, and it does not change how the inbox functions or sorts messages beyond this task:







  • Click into the Gmail Search box and type the following exactly:





  • is:unread



    Show only unread email messages in Gmail inbox






  • Hit Return to sort the inbox by unread messages






The Gmail inbox will be sorted to only display messages that haven’t been read yet, this search operator is practically instantaneous regardless of how giant (or small) your unread mail count is.




View unread email only in Gmail




Yes, this search tricks works on the web in addition to the common mobile Gmail apps for iPhone and Android.




This is another significant advantage to webmail, since the task of sorting giant inboxes is handled by a remote server, it relieves the local machine of the disk and CPU intensive activity of sorting through potentially hundreds of thousands of past messages to find the 9000+ unread emails residing in the inbox. This screen shot example may be a bit extreme, but even my personal email has over 200+ unread messages at any given moment.




To reveal the normal inbox again with all read and unread messages together, either remove the search operator from the search box and hit return again, or just click the “Inbox” item from the left side menu.




Despite being such a simple feature, it doesn’t seem like common knowledge. I’ve been using Gmail for many years and didn’t know about this trick, and its as only in a passing conversation with a friend that I learned about it.




Change Gmail Inbox to Display Unread Email First




Another option goes beyond sorting and searching the inbox and actually prioritizes your Gmail inbox by message type, in this case, unread emails. With this enabled, all unread messages will appear on top of read messages, regardless of when either was sent. For example, an unread message from two weeks ago would appear above a read message from 10 minutes ago. Enabling this is really easy:







  • Go to Gmail Settings (Gear icon > Settings)



  • Choose the “Inbox” tab, then pull down the “Inbox type” menu and select “Unread First”






Show unread email first in Gmail




Unread messages will instantly sort to the top of the inbox, and the search operator will no longer be necessary unless you don’t want to see the read messages at all.




Either of these tricks are incredibly helpful for those of us who manage large inboxes, where new unread messages routinely get pushed off the front pages of the inbox, and inevitably end up buried several screens back with a bunch of already read mail. As we all know, once an email message ends up off the primary inbox screen, it’s pretty easy to forget about them, which only adds to the feeling of inbox overload when the unread count is reaching into the high numbers.




If Gmail is your primary email service too, don’t forget to set Gmail as the default web mail client for your web browser too.
