Rules

  • No profanity: We like to try and keep this subreddit clean. Please refrain from the use of profanity.
  • No torrent links or P2P of copyrighted material: Please refrain from advocating piracy in this subreddit. For legal reasons, we want to avoid such links.
  • Flag your posts: You are required to flag your post. If you do not, it is grounds for removal, or it will be left up to the moderators to decide how your post is flagged. Please flag your post.
  • Questions Must Have Adequate Information: You must provide the thread with information about your build, to know more on what you're required to share, check this post.
  • Search Before Posting: If your question has already been posted before (even if not by you), please make sure to read the other post before posting. In the event it doesn't answer your question/problem, please link prior post you read and then ask about what you don't understand. Low effort posts will be removed.
  • No distro/beast tools: We do not not support the use of tools such as UniBeast and Multibeast as well as distros such as iAtkos, Niresh, Olarila and such. The reason for this is that these tools do more damage than good as they neither teach you what you're doing and can also damage macOS itself with unneeded framework changes.

The Dortania guide provides ways to install macOS without a Mac device with macOS sourced from Apple directly.

  • No self-promotion: Please keep all paid services and advertisements off the subreddit. This community does not wish to be affiliated with such sources so all paid work and such should be kept private

  • No Mac or VM posts: Regardless of what methods were used for installing, we are a subreddit focused on PC hardware running macOS. Please keep macOS specific, virtual machines and Mac hardware posts to their respective subreddits.

  • Don't distribute EFIs: Do not share your EFI folders, instead point users to the subreddit's vanilla guides. If you would like to share your work, document the specific items required to build your Hackintosh that were not covered in the guide instead. Pre-baked EFI posts will be removed as they are not guaranteed to work and they spread a low-effort sentiment in the Hackintosh community.

  • Note: You can share your EFI in order to ask for help, but you cannot send EFIs to the requester as a way of helping.

  • No Youtube Videos: While we understand some users may be more visual learners, please understand that most(if not all) youtube guides either:

    • Steal the work of others and hide behind paywalls
    • Become easily outdated
    • Largely incorrect and spreading false info

    So we highly discourage uses of these videos, instead much preferring users follow the written guides in our FAQ and Sidebar. The main offenders of these types of videos are from TechNolli, Morgonaut, and TechTunerLife.

  • Alpha/Beta Software releases are unsupported: Because alpha/beta software is full of bugs, supporting beta software makes it difficult to troubleshoot issues. Please avoid posting about beta software help until it has reached GM.

  • Success posts of these softwares are welcomed with proper documentation and [IT BOOTS! (WIP)] flair. Help and question posts will be removed.

  • Unrelated Posts and Memes: Unrelated subjects and memes are not allowed in this subreddit. This sub is mainly for help and information sharing about hackintoshing. The mods reserve the right to remove any post that is of low quality or unrelated to the subreddit.

    What is a Hackintosh?

    A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS.

    • AMD USERS READ THIS: While it may be more work, the AMD hackintosh scene has gotten quite a bit easier. Do note we're primarily an intel subreddit but feel free to ask questions relating to AMD based systems. (AMD Laptops and AMD integrated GPUs are unsupported)
    • You can find the AMD OS X discord here
    • OpenCore Install Guide

    • macOS INSTALLERS NOTE: This sub is dedicated to legally obtained copies of macOS. Please do not ask, or post, about things like iAtkos, Niresh, or any other modified macOS installer that may have malicious code in it!

    • Pre-Built EFI NOTE: We provide minimal to no support for Pre-Built EFIs from GitHub, Hackintosher and such due to generally being heavily outdated, poorly made and users not knowing what their hackintoshes are doing. You may still ask for help but please be prepared to remake your EFI from scratch following the OpenCore Vanilla Guide

    • UniBeast and Multibeast NOTE: Unfortunately we do not support the use of beast tools due to being closed sourced, can modify MacOS files and users generally not know what these tools are doing(more info here). You will be requested to restart your installation following the OpenCore Vanilla guide to properly learn hackintoshing or face public humiliation and be stuck with your broken Hackintosh

    Check out the brand-new FAQ! Don't ask before you read it fully, twice.

    Make sure you post your Hackintosh's specifications when you ask questions. (Posting guidelines in the FAQ or further down the sidebar)

    Regarding info/guides posted to this subreddit, we reserve all right to remove posts we feel either break the rules, provide poor info or redirects to other poorly made guides. Please understand that we want to keep the subreddit clean and a place where people don't have to worry about getting false info

    I have installed macOS Sequoia on this configuration:

    • ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E Gaming
    • i5 10600k
    • 32GB RAM
    • AMD RX 6600 XT.

    However, I am not receiving software updates. Could you help me solve this issue?

    MacOS Mojave not booting, bootloop

    I finished Installing MacOS Mojave and my computer restarted. It booted into the Boot Menu and now whenever I try to boot into the installer again, it just boot loops. Going from the HP Startup Screen to the Boot Menu. Whenever I do select the installer to boot into, the Apple Logo appears then the screen turns off then goes back to the HP Logo

    2 gpu 1 monitor compat

    hi there. I have a1 monitor that takes in a hdmi and a vga, 2 graphics cards (both on my hwinfo cmd) and running windows right now. I am wondering whether instead of having to change my hdmi input and manually replug in the cable i could just run a kvm type of virtual machine that uses my intel gpu and run windows using the nvidia gpu?

    Black screen during bootup to recovery

    I am currently on i5-10400 Comet Lake CPU, and an RX6600XT, with 32GB RAM. I am trying to install sonoma, perhaps after i am done i could update to sequoia. I moved the plist through an oc sanity checker, and i am in the green, but afterwards it all goes to hell. In boot args i have: -v alcid=1 agdpmod=pikera. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

    I think this might sound dumb

    I have a laptop with a Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU with Radeon 660M iGPU. I learned from ChatGPT that both my GPU and CPU are unsupported. I know it is unsupported but still, any way i can install ANY version of MacOS on this laptop?

    Monterey on Lenovo ThinkPad E540

    Lenovo ThinkPad E540

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4210M 2.60Ghz ~ 3.20Ghz Turbo

    GPU: Intel HD 4600

    RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3

    Storage: 128 GB SSD

    WI-FI/BT Card: Onboard WIFI is not compatible so I am using TP-link Archer T2U Nano Ver: 1.0 connected to 5ghz WIFI

    Driver by  chris1111/Wireless-USB-Big-Sur-Adapter on GitHub. No Bluetooth unfortunately.

    Audio Codec: Conexant CX20751

    Ethernet Card: Using onboard Realtek ethernet

    OC Ver: 1.0.2

    Im now figuring out how to fix HDMI port not working. Hackintool says that I may need to spoof some audio device id. I am still figuring this one out, any link to some post to help will be very useful.

    There's something weird about the brightness control, I need to change to lower resolution first then go back to my original, to make the brightness slider work. If I don't, the brightness slider will just slide but no adjustment to backlight. If anyone have an idea to fix this please comment.

    Battery indication works, touchpad works with some gestures disabled same from my old Big Sur installation.

    Created the EFI by using the Dortania guide.

    PCIe Oculink to U.2

    Has anyone tried using PCIe Oculink on their Hackintosh? The single port Oculink PCIe card I am getting does not need any driver as long as my motherboard supports NVME. Thinking of connecting this to a relative cheap, enterprise SSD like the Intel P4510 Intel (apparently compatible).

    External HDDs work on Hack but not on macbook

    What the title says.

    They are mostly powerless HDD's or SATA-USB adapter with standard laptop drives

    My 2018-spec Hackintosh with Sequoia can see and mount the disks instantly even if they are NTFS, but my brand new M3 Air won't even recognize it. The macbook does load USB flashdrives though and the ports work fine but it's just these disks that won't work. Obviously I've checked disk utility.

    Any ideas?

    Ventura 13.7.1/OC 1.0.2 Dell Inspiron 580/Precision T1500s. LegacyBIOS Multi-Boot

    Ventura/Monterey/Catalina/Kubuntu/Win10 iMac11,2 multiboot VIA OpenCore/BootCamp.

    After a month of part-time tinkering with this recycle-bound hot pile of garbage (and other LegacyBIOS machines), surprisingly IT WORKS! All spare parts from other builds. It could actually usable.

    • Using emulated NVRAM, as mine seems to be worn/broken. Dells buit-in diagnostic confirms this. Wait, Dell makes something that actually works?

    • CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3470 @ 2.93GHz Turbo 3.6GHz

    • GPU: Dell/AMD Radeon RX460/560D 2GB Polaris/Baffin. Low-Power (45 Watts) low-profile

    • RAM: 28GB 16BG TeamGroup DDR3-1600 / PC3-12800 (11-11-11-28@800Mhz)

    • Motherboard: Dell/Foxconn 0C2KJT/Inspiron 580 (Intel H57). SMBios iMac 11,2. No advanced BIOS menu.

    • Storage: SATA II (yep), AHCI mode. Misc Samsung SATA 850EVO 512GB - Windows 10/Catalina/Monterey). SiliconPower 512GB (Ventura/Kubuntu) Samsung 950 EVO SATA (WinXP SATA Mode/Legacy MBR).

    • Storage #2: Dell/Alcor USB2 internal multi-function Card Reader (SD, MicroSD, CF, MemoryStick Pro). HL-DT-ST GH50N DVD+RW (yeah, it works!)

    • BIOS revision/Chipset: Dell A07. Intel H57/QPI Ibex "Peak"

    • Audio Codec: RealTek ALC887 Layout-ID 1 worked OOB. HDA/HDMI Audio also woks OOB

    • Ethernet Card: Broadcom BCM57788 Gigabit (chris1111's port of adlan's BCM5722D.kext)

    • WiFi/Bluetooth: Genuine Apple AirPort BCM943602 stacked on an AirPort to Mini-PCIe, and Mini-PCIe to PCIe1x 2 adapter, with a PCIe1x extension, turned around to fit a PCI slot opening! (belongs in techmacguyver or techsupportgore) *Hey, i wasn't gonna dump any money into this pile of trash!

    • Add-in Card(s): PCIe 1x Inateck/FrescoLogic/VIA 7 Port USB3.0 (5x2) card. All USB Ports worked without mapping using iMac11,1 but I did it anyways.

    • Display devices: Crappy ViewSonic and Acer 24" 1080p

    • Hardware notes (in layman's terms): A lot of stuff low-speed controllers are hidden behind the bridges in this pile of trash and lack "BIOS names", such as: EC/LPCB, the SMBus, EUSB/USBE.Tthe 1xPCIe slots are as well, so I had to build and name them. Luckily SSDTTime always makes this simple, thanks again CorpNewt!

    Which of the guides you used: Dortania, a bunch of Google, MacRumors, some InsanelyMac and studying the OCLP default.plist.

    What's working?: EVERYTHING works. iServices, AirDrop, AirPlay, Logic, Metal Apps, even Sidecar and even Universal Control (via FeatureUnlock). What's not?: Anything security chip related - Continuity Camera, Screen Mirroring, etc

    Any changes that were specific to your build: A few due to the lack of lack of AVX2, not explicitly covered in the guide (and for good reasons) - A CLEAN Ventura install using CryptexFixup, RestrictEvents, NoAVXFSCompressionTypeZlib-AVXpel.kext, skip board-id check and sbvmm=revpatch. CaseySJ's OCLP Ventura PCI patch for good measure, and OCLP to handle the graphics patching. Dell's botched firmware is full of bugs that require some quirks, namely FadtEnableReset. The system wouldn't boot past the installer without it. Shown here -

    2024-11-25 05:41:37.512472-0800 0x6f Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleACPIPlatform) ACPI BIOS Warning (bug):

    2024-11-25 05:41:37.513697-0800 0x6f Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleACPIPlatform) 32/64X length mismatch in FADT/Gpe0Block: 128/64

    2024-11-25 05:41:37.516043-0800 0x6f Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleACPIPlatform) (20160930/tbfadt-723)

    Add extra info...: I'll say that i disagree with the guide's suggestion of MacPro 6,1 for Lynnfield/Clarkdale, but I understand the reasoning (i.e., who in their right mind is putting Ventura/Sonoma on old garbage?). MP6,1 gave me major issues in Catalina/Monterey with hardware attaching in iOKit, namely Bluetooth and USB personalities. I couldn't get Ventura to install until switching to iMac11,1 or 11,2 worked.

    Oculink ? U.2 on hackintosh

    Has anyone tried oculink to a Mac compatible U.2 on a hackintosh? The PCIe Oculink card I am eyeing does not need any drivers. Some older Intel DC 4510 are Mac compatible based on whatever I could Googled.

    Is it possible I lose all of my data if I try to update my el Capitan hackintosh to Sierra or is Sierra not worth it either and need to go higher ?

    All of the programmed obsolescence is coming finally my hackintosh will be useless within a couple years. I've become accustomed to the setup and built it so long ago idk what update I can do that won't some how render all my programs useless .

    Trying to make good choices as a complete newbie: Power Mac G5

    Hello friends!

    A friend has recently offered me a Power Mac G5 and I was wondering what other things I would need to buy to make it a functional computer for my uses in 2024?

    I haven’t build a PC or anything before but I’m very good at reading instructions and following a video.

    I generally use my computer for surfing the internet, holding 10,000 cat pictures, word processing, and I don’t use it for gaming or video editing.

    They have clarified it’s pretty bare bones and doesn’t have a hard drive and has the original owner’s graphics card from 2006 (“but it is functional”).

    I’m trying to take advantage of the deals going on at Microcenter right now: would anyone be able to give me some pointers towards parts I could upgrade to help this run better in 2024?
