I can't access my macbook and I'm afraid I'll lose all the data I don't have a backup of. This is what happens to me after trying to update Sequoia. I have sequoia installed on an external SSD which is what I want to access. Press alt to choose the external drive and the reboot loop begins on the screen where you see the apple and the loading bar. I have tried patching the sequoia image and reinstalling but I don't have enough free space. I can't clear space because it won't let me copy or delete files from the external SSD. I don't understand why. Then opencore now tells me that the version does not correspond to the one installed and it installs it over and over again and doesn't let me click anything else. Where could I find the solution.

Is it safe to use OCLP for my mac mini 2014 2.6Ghz model, officially at Monterey, need Sequoia.

iCloud has purchased Logic and Final cut, shouldn't get my iCloud flagged post install.

(Heard somehow apple recognizes it, EULA violation)

OLCP 2.4.0 and Sequoia 15.5 updates are here! I just finished my video going over the update and testing on 19 different Mac models! I also added older operating systems Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey and good ole Big Sur. Link below!

As I've done in the past with previous OCLP updates, I will answer every question in this thread!

With open core legacy patches I have Installed Sonoma on mac Book Pro late 2013 11.2 , and it works well , has no other issue than ,the only when I startup after choosing the botin partition with Sonoma, is get stuck on boot bar, than I hard reset and restart, again the same thing and the tthjirs time , always the third time , boots normally, how can I be ? - note that i tryed already to format and reinstall all 4 times, alway the same issue.

OPCL version 2.4.0

I updated my mac to whatever the latest macos sonoma is. After updating, the Macbook restarted into MacOS but there is no display. I don't even get a display in the foot picker and macos recovery. I also shined light through the apple cutout to check if it's an issue with the backlight but the display isn't even on. The Mac turns on and I was able boot to macos and everything seems to work but I can't test it on an external display because I don't have a mini-DP to HDMI adaptor

I created my bootable USB with sequoia from the terminal since it gave me trouble when creating it in the normal option, at the end of the download, download the patch and proceed to boot it with the USB, it appeared and I clicked on it but it only showed 🚫 and I started normally, I turned it off to try again and now it doesn't give me an image, I already tried in recovery mode and nothing even started with an option.

Has this happened to anyone else or how do I solve it? 😩

I just picked up a late 2012 Mac mini (Came up as server?) machine and, have been trying to upgrade the OS. It has a core I7 / 256 GB SSD which seems to run pretty good, beside it having Mavericks. Tried to do a regular upgrade in the apple store, as people say it will let you install Catalina but, it doesn't show up. First tried to follow a video on installing OCLP but, it was saying I needed to install an OS I can't remember the name of, before it would work.

Then tried to use the 'macOS Catalina Patcher' but soon realized it says it's not compatible with my mac mini. Has anyone been able to get OCLP to work properly on Mavericks? The website says it's working with the Macmini6,2 but I can't figure out what to do. I tried the latest version of the program. Should I maybe try an older version of the OCLP installer? This is my first time trying this on an actual mac and it's very frustrating, and I can't figure it out. Don't want to give up on it, just don't know what else to do.

Hello I am trying to update OCLP from 2.2.0 to 2.4.0 and it just won't update. I tried through the program and it just doesn't update. I tried downloading it from GitHub and nothing appears. I have no idea why it's just not updating. I am currently running sequoia 15.5 on a mid 2015 MacBook pro. I haven't had any problems with updating OCLP before so I am not sure what is going on. Please help

I ran the following commands: nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version REL-104-2025-03-04

so how do you check for compatibility?

I don't want to upgrade if I have to update OCLP first.

HELP

Hey guys, I currently own a Macbook Pro mid-2012 13 inch model with the following specs:

- 2.5gHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
- 500 GB SSD SATA disk
- RAM: 16GB DDR3
- manufacturing date: mid 2015

I've been running it on macOS mojave and with the support from apple being finished, a lot of apps aren't compatible and I want to update to a newer operating system using OpenCore. From the limited research I've done, it seems like macOS monterey is the best option. All i'm looking for is to have a more updated operating system that I can forget about and not have to tweak little things to make it run smoothly and efficiently without lag. I've seen mixed reviews on macOS sonoma with some people saying it works like a charm and others saying its laggy and slow. For those of you that have used OpenCore on this particular model, which version of macOS would suit my needs best? I don't intend on being a heavy user and will only use this machine for web browsing, watching videos and netflix and also trading as a side hustle. Also if there's little things that NEED to be done in the installation process because issues have come up when y'all tried it and had to do trial and error to figure out what the issue is, please tell me too. The most frustrating thing is when there's one little step that NEEDS to be done but is easy to miss and can mess up the whole process.

The second concern I have after watching multiple videos on how to install OpenCore is that the main internal drive needs to be erased before downloading the OS onto it and rebooting not from the USB stick. Is there any way to avoid that and install it WITHOUT having to erase everything on my drive? I do intend on making a Time Machine backup first but I'm worried i won't be able to restore everything if I wipe the drive. I'm not too concerned about the files, but mainly the Notes app where i have notes from over 5 years ago and you can see the date on each note and its more of just sentimental value that i'd rather not lose all of that.

I'd appreciate any advice and recommendations with these two concerns of mine, either comment down below or send me a DM.

Hey I lost the original usb stick that I had used to update my 2015 MacBook Pro and I would like to update it again to the most current version and was wondering if I can update it without a usb stick or with a new one.

On a Mac mini with a 1 TB SSD and 16 GB of RAM:

I opened OCLP before doing the system update to 15.5. It took about an hour to do the complete install. After final reboot the background of my screen was white and I had to apply post install patches to get the wifi working again. No big deal. Works great so far on 15.5.

I have a Windows 10 running mid 2012 15 inch MBP. My idea here is to hackintosh Ventura on it but the most far I've gotten was the EFI boot and it crashed. Any tutorials?

I have a MacBook Pro 2011 15" and GPU is disabled hardware level. I installed Monterey with Software demux and Disable Firmware Throttling options. On root patches, if patched with Legacy GMUX, there is a 20 second delay in keyboard and mouse. I only want the graphics driver to be patched. How can I do it?

I’m curious. Why do we have to use a USB drive/stick instead of a small partition on an existing (e.g. internal) drive?
I don’t think enabling firewire, XHCI or NVMe booting changes things? (Normally, I have a stick laying around, just not where I am now.)

Is there a technical reason or is it just a simplification in the GUI?

my m1 pro 14 screen died so I pulled out my 13 year old 2012 macbook pro i5 (macbookpro10,2) while I decide what to do with my broken 4 year old macbook.

With only 8gb ram and with a 250gb NVME SSD (with adapter) I had my doubts but I went ahead and used OCLP to install 15.4.2 (didn't want to go bleeding edge yet in case there were issues)

It is surprisingly still useable! I've been using it mostly for emails and youtube -- mostly browsing stuff. One big help was to install h264ify (or enhanced) plug-in. The CPU really burns with the newer codecs (vp9) and lags a lot with you are jumping around in a video. With the plug-in, it's as snappy as normal, you'll just be limited to 1080p which is adequate for me. I forgot how horrible the speakers were though!

Last night I used it for a 2 hour zoom call. every now and then the audio would flake out but I reniced the zoom process to the highest priority and then it started working smoothly. Just don't expect to do anything else alongside the zoom meeting.

It's still on the original battery which has been saying "service required" for the last three years but it lasted the whole 2 hour zoom call! (with 5 percent left! haha)

I also cleaned out the thermal goop what was getting dry and put on conductonaut liquid metal. I figure why not, if it dies it dies. just a tiny bit is sufficient, coating a thin layer on both the cpu and the copper heatsink. my temps before (I think it was artic silver 4) were around 75-85c while browsing and with liquid metal it was 65-75c which is pretty awesome.

TLDR - Sequoia on a 2012 8gb macbook pro retina runs great for general browsing and youtube. install h264ify to keep video playback snappy

Guys, Anyone Have Same Issues On Ventura With OCLP 2.4.0 ? (Overheating)

How do I install hackintosh on VMware? I have a 4060 ti 8 gb which isn't supported so there's no way I can do it on real hardware :(

I've been thinking, maybe I haven't read it but it doesn't say in capital letters that OpenCore legacy patcher can brick your Macintosh, maybe legal action should be taken.

Hey guys, I have a Late 2008 Aluminium MacBook and I use it for Logic Pro and Photoshop (Sometimes Adobe Premiere), im using currently MacOS Lion, but this is TOO old, last week i was using MacOS Mojave, and was runing VERY nice. I would like to use something like Big Sur or Catalina, but I dont know.

My Mac Specs:

2 GHz Core 2 duo

4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GEFORCE 9400M 256 MB

btw: my mac dont work wifi, so I use an USB wifi adapter.

on a MacBookPro 11,2 (2013) I had Sequoia 15.4 working smoothly, until the OCLP updated from 2.3.2 to 2.4.0 and began stalling on every reboot, no wifi anymore and rooting patches would not complete.

Attempting to update to 15.5 didn't help, neither did using recovery boot, safe boot, retuning root patches, reverting root patches... I even attempted to revert to 15.4 of Sequoia built with OCLP 2.3.2 and it did not help - same error of stalling on reboot and no wifi.

Today I decided to go back to OS 11 and start over, and it proved to be THE SOLUTION:

1. using a second Mac I created a bootable install drive of OS 11 (the latest the MBP ‘13 can natively install) - see apple support page for downloading OS 11 and using terminal to make a bootable drive. Cannot download OS 11 on Mac Mini App store so use Apple Support page.

2. booted OS 11 on the MBP using my external drive and installed it successfully from the Recovery mode (Command, Option, R), it would only work by also first erasing my HD from the Disk Utility option, and then choosing Install Big Sur (since it currently had 15.4 installed).

3. Once Big Sur was operating normal with a clean instalI (I did NOT use Migrate to transfer files yet) I began the process for upgrading to Sequoia from the start, downloading OLCP 2.4 and using it to create a bootable installer of 15.5 (used Anson Alexander’s tutorial).

4. There were no stalls on the install of 15.5. I was then able to use Open Core to move the installer to the HD, restart with no stall, and complete root patches and restart ALL WITH NO STALLS! Wifi works just fine, the OS seems to be as smooth as 15.4 had been before the glitch.

5. Using Migrate Assistant I transferred my saved files back to the MBP.

It took all day for the above trial and error. but was only a few hours once I made the decision to revert to OS 11 and do all the steps again to upgrade to OS 15. I will keep my OS 11 bootable drive handy in case a future update has the same glitch.

I have a iMac 27" Late 2014 running 15.5. I did a clean update and everything was working flawlessly, just as expected. Screen saver was working as well as sleep. However, once I signed in to iCloud, they system will crash when the screen saver is activated. I get a loop at the lock screen where I see the sign in screen then it goes dark, then the sign in screen and dark again. It does this loop and won't let me log back in to the system. Even after a restart, it will continue to do the same at the login screen and wont let me log in. The only possible way to log in is using safe mode.

Hallo i am trying to instal macos Monterey to my 2009 15inch macbook pro and i getting eror after like 3 minutes of install. its crossed circle. i tried using usb2 hub. i am instaling target ,model macbookpro 5,3.

Any ideas why is that? i tried many things and i am getting desperate!

Thanks for any respawns.

Mac Pro 2012 - should I be spoofing a Mac Pro 2019? Seems to default to this? Or should I be spoofing iMac Pro? I see people doing both. Not sure why I should spoof either or whether I should spoof at all.

I am finding the Finder windows opening on a new drive to be very slow and unusual on 15.1/2.4.0 and I am wondering if this might be because I am spoofing an iMac Pro.
