Mojave -> Catalina upgrade - discouraged!

Trying to update from Mojave to Catalina and feeling very discouraged. I originally built this machine in Dec 2013 with MacOS 10.9 Mavericks. I've upgraded through every OS version through Mojave. I paused at Catalina because it's my music production machine and I didn't want to lose some old 32-bit apps, but now I'm ready to move forward and it's not cooperating at all.

Here are the steps I've taken, please help if you can!

Good plan for dual boot hackingtosh mojave and Windows 10?

Hi hackintoshers! I already own a mojave hackintosh, put togheter by my dad(fyi im 14). He put a lot of work in it and was extremely happy with it. I use it almost daily for gaming and watching youtube or netflix. I also like programming/coding a lot(which is one of the reasons for choosing hackintosh). But now i keep running into some games, or other software that want to install, but is only available for windows. So I go searching on the internet for ways to get windows runnig on my computer, dual booting with my hackintosh. Talked with my dad about it, at first he wasn't too happy to hear that i wanted "more", but that is not my point. We figured out a way on how we could do it and i want your opinion on if it is a good one.

At first we would disconnect the drives with the hackintosh on it, for safety(that it surely won't get wiped)

The we would get a hard disk from somewhere(probably 500gb or so). And install windows on it the regular way. That shouldn't be too hard.

When windows is completely setup, we are going to try dualbooting it with the help of clover. I watched a video(https://youtu.be/-6z0KBJqOJU), which shows me how to add that seperate drives to the clover menu, along with some tips for clover in general.

If im not wrong, the dual booting should perfectly work at this point, right?

(Idk if u need it but here are my specs of my mac: Motherboard: gigabyte GA-H55-UD3H Gpu: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB RAM: 12GB Storage: 1 ssd, 500GB. 1 HHD only for storage and backups, 1TB CPU: Intel i7 first generation 860, not sure about this one, im on vacation rn.)

Monterey iGPU DP setup via nvidia output

I am trying to configure Monterey to use iGPU but output signal via dGPU. Is this somehow possible ? What to google for ?

My setup is asus z490-i and gtx1080 and the screen is a samsung g9. I have DP and HDMI connected to dGPU outputs. The mac boots now using hdmi (though the installation process was using DP). In the end I'd like to force DP and disable hdmi. and of course pass the signal via dGPU output. Worst case scenario is I will use second DP and connect it to mobo

I enabled iGPU multi-monitor but then I could not boot anymore.

Trusty ol' X58A-UD3R and OpenCore woes

with the new mainframe working stellarly on OpenCore, thought I'd blow the dust off the old X58a-UD3R Xeon W3680 and set her up as a backup/archive server. Even have an XRAID I've attacked with the grinder to use as a case.

But no matter what I do, I can't get it to boot the Catalina installer on OpenCore.

Went through the whole OpenCore guide for Nehalem, and it always KP's with:

CPU 11 has no HPET assigned to it.

Anyone got this old workhorse going with OpenCore?

TP Link UB400 on USB 3.0

Hey All,

I have installed Big Sur on Asus B360MA MB which got 3 USB 2.0 and 3 USB 3.0 ports. Till date i was using one of the 2.0 port to connect TP Link UB400 bluetooth dongle which is supported out of box but recently I connected Logitech wireless mouse with its own dongle that only operates on USB 2.0.

All other USB 2.0 ports are occupied with keyboard and Camera.

When i connected UB400 to USB 3 its not been reconised while as USB 3.0 pendrives are working correctly. Anyone knows how to fix this? As per TP link website, this can be used on 3.0 and 2.0 ports on Windows.

PS: I have done USB mapping couple of times but still issue persists!

Open Core 0.7.6, Catalina, Install doesn’t complete

I made a USB installer using Open Core for the first time, most current version at the moment which I think is .76. I’m able to boot from USB, partition my NVME as APFS, GUID and begin installing Catalina.

During the install process, I expect the machine to reboot several times before completion. However, when the PC reboots, installation does not continue. The PC boots up from the USB stick again and arrives at macOS utilities again.

After BIOS Update, OpenCore (0.7.6) won't boot

Hi, hope you’re doing well.

I updated my BIOS (Gigabyte Vision G F21), and now my OpenCore (0.7.6) EFI does not boot. I am not able to reach the picker stage — OpenCore doesn’t appear at all. Everything was working just fine before the BIOS update, so I’ve obviously broken something during the BIOS update.

I have two separate NVMe drives: one with Windows, one with Mac / OpenCore. When I startup, my computer boots straight into Windows. When I enter the BIOS to select a boot device, only my Windows drive appears. There is no OpenCore option.

I am still able to boot into OpenCore/Mac by plugging in an external USB and booting it from BIOS, but I cannot get my native OpenCore EFI to appear at all. My EFI folder still contains all the appropriate files (same as the working USB), so I’m not 100% sure what’s gone wrong.

I’ve tried resetting NVRAM a few times via the USB. I’ve tried changing my Startup Disk to Mac (in System Preferences.) I’ve tried replacing all my EFI files with known working ones. OpenCore will not appear.

One option I haven’t yet tried is removing the Windows NVMe and trying to boot using only Mac, but I’m hoping there’s another solution I can try first, as removing hardware is a bit of a pain. Would re-installing Mac help? Or is there another way I can force my OC EFI to boot?

How can I get my OpenCore EFI back?

Thanks.

Did a clean install of Windows, now OC won't go to the picker screen?

Hey guys. So I built my hackintosh earlier this year and it has been working great. I had a dual boot setup with macos and windows on their own dedicated drive. I was able to dual boot and everything was fine.

Couple days ago, I decided to do a clean install of Windows because it was being a little buggy the past few weeks (nothing to do with hackintosh). However, I kept getting errors during the clean install and the only solution I had was to unplug my macos drives and sure enough I was able to install Windows finally.

However, since then, it has only been possible to boot into Windows. I can't get into the OC picker screen. The only way to boot into my macOS drive is to use a bootable opencore USB. Before, in my BIOS boot options, the option of UEFI OS would bring me to the OC picker screen, but now that option just goes straight to Windows. If I pick any other boot option besides the Windows ones, I get this screen. Also, here's what my boot options looks like.

Let me know if there's any more information you guys need. Thanks.

EDIT: I reset the NVRAM which put a second "UEFI OS" option into my boot options which was able to bring me into the OC picker screen once again.

Hello guys

If you have a bluetooth and wifi Intel AX200 card and the wifi doesn't work but not the bluetooth on macos monterey there is a very simple solution:

You have to ACTIVATE in your BIOS the 4G decoding option and delete in the boot argument of your EFI : npci=0x2000

Once that made you must make as the tuto for monterey and here all should work without problem :)

Monterey stuck at "Less than a minute remaining"

  • Hardware: Self-build desktop
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
  • GPU: Sapphire Radion RX 580
  • RAM: Kingston HyperX Predator 32 GB
  • Motherboard model: Gigabyte Z390 Designare
  • Audio Codec: Intel
  • Ethernet Card: Intel
  • What guide/tool followed: Dortania

I initially installed Catalina on this machine using OC 0.5.8 a year or more ago. I now want to update to Monterey. This morning I updated my OC to 0.7.6 with updated packages and a new config.plist re-created using the guide. The config passed validation and was able to boot my existing Catalina installation and the Monterey installer which I'm trying to use to install Monterey to a second hard disk.

The problem is that after the first reboot during installation, I get through to the black screen with the apple logo and progress bar. It goes through to the end and says "less than a minute remaining" but it never completes. I've left it an hour (it just stayed stuck there) and also tried restarting (it did the same thing), and erasing/reinstalling from scratch (did the same thing again). Is there anything else I should do?

MacOS Catalina wont idle like it did before on XPS 15 7590

Im having some issues with power management on my XPS 15 7590 even with a motherboard replacement and cfg being unlocked as it wont idle correctly to 0.5 watts doing absolutely nothing after waking it like it did before, and it only drops to 0.6 watts for a very short time but wont maintain it, and Ive noticed the battery drain is very similar to the external SSD I had months ago which makes me believe maybe MacOS is treating the WD SN550 abnormally as an external drive. Ive already tried to update the nvmefix kext and it didnt help, every settings in the BIOS didnt help either nor did unlocking CFG. I really need help and would appreciate answers
