Agreed @glenfiddich7635 ! I like to joke that the small non-metal team is like a little skunkworks group that does everything they can to keep the oldest Macs still running 😅
@@Mr.Macintosh Please, please, PLEASE help to enable hardware-acceleration and wifi in MacOS Mojave on stock 2009-2011 "silverback" iMacs. (BTW, note that an alternate source for DMGs will have to be found if wayback-machine remains down.) Mojave is the last OS for 32bit apps, and the last that can run inside a fast HFS+ partition, and the community should be trying to fork Mojave by this point to facilitate running it on everything. (Its ability to run Parallels Desktop 18 also means that Windows11 and many current Linux distros can be run in hypervirtualization while sharing common drive areas, meaning it's even better than APFS at preventing wasted partition space.)
I upgrade my mbp 10,1 first with OCLP 1.4.3. and then Sonoma from 14.4 to 14.4.1 without issues. Everything seems to be working. Thank you Mr. Macintosh for all your videos, and the devs of OCLP, it is much appreciated.
Great to hear @CosmicHiccup11 Thank you for sharing your install experience. I'm glad to hear about a successful install on an iMac! Plus good old trusty ventura is still the rock 👍
I use my early 2009 imac (9,1) as secondary computer for surfing the internet. This mac still has the original HD so updating is very slow. But I had no problems installing 14.4.1 after following the steps you recommended with the OCLP. It seems to hang when installing but, in fact, it is just slow. Amazing how this computer is still usable in 2024! Thanks OCLP team and to you, Mr.Macintosh.
The early-2009 was the last "blackback" iMac model. The ones that still have problems are the mid-2009-to-late-2011 "silverbacks" (the last DVD models).
21:39 Always great to hear even that little eureka moment from an gifted and very experienced Apple Engineer. Great moment to share Mr. Macintosh! Thanks for the videos that are always easy to follow. Cheers
Thanks @mvrck-pb5pk not going to lie, it was a great time trying to troubleshoot that disabled system. Normally I do this behind the scenes but it is fun and interesting to share the steps and thought process taken. Thank you very much for your comments ❤️
@@Mr.Macintosh Mr. Macintosh, could you please consider creating an easy how to video for swapping to another GPU in OCLP installs? I have an issue with this (GTX 680 macEFI to RX 580 with new reconstructed BootRom with EnableGOP 1,4 injected) as well, but I see MacRumors flooding with this issues lately. Thanks and would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Running perfectly on Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008 Dual 3.2, GTX 760 (Metal), 'OWC' SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 & OCLP 1.4.3. A very big thank-you to all involved in keeping our old Macs relevant 🙂
Mac Pro 6.1 working perfect with OpenCore 1.4.3 on MacOS 14.4.1 and the iMac 12.2 that we spoke about on X is now working as normal on macOS 14.4.1 with OpenCore 1.4.3. Thank you so much to you and all the developers. You guys ROCK!
While I was on OCLP 1.4.2 I was having a hard time updating my MacBookPro9,2 to Sonoma and Ventura. I had an SSD installer and my hard drive cable ripped slightly so I had to order a new one, I ended up being able to install Monterey via USB, then use the Ventura installer app to update, and then after I installed 1.4.3 I managed to use OTA updates to get Sonoma installed. It runs pretty smoothly with 4GB RAM but I do plan on upgrading to 16GB of RAM.
I upgrade to somoma 14.4.1 before upgrade to OCLP 1.4.2 accidentally last weeken. Now all the problems cause by loging window were fixed ! Thanks for the tips by use command + spacebar to let me input my PWD and copy while doing version upgrade to OPLC 1.4.2 . The rest of the upgrade steps are as show in this video. Great to have seen this video save me a lot of time !
2012 MBP 9,1 OS 14.4.1 OCLP 1.4.2 thought this update was fine - no problem, done and dusted in less than 5 minutes. 2012 Mini 6,1 OS 13.6.6 OCLP 1.4.2 hated it. Many hours later, finished migrating user data from backup after complete clean install of the OS, and back to 1.4.2. *Always* have multiple backups and a USB OCLP and OS installer before hitting go on these updates - be it OS or OCLP. That said, Thank you OCLP team, Dortania, Mr. Macintosh and community for all this incredible work. Amazing expertise and focus.
Running my mid-2009 15” MacBook Pro on Monterey 12.7.4, working well and got wifi back working thanks to your very useful video 🎉 many thanks for your great work, it really makes a difference !
Nous avons le même Macbook Pro version 5,5 ;) Tentant maintenant d’installer Sonoma… Avez-vous déjà essayé sur votre machine ? Je tourne sous la dernière version de Ventura. J’ai optimisé le mac avec un SSD et 8Gb de RAM. Avez-vous tenté 16Gb ?
MacBook Pro9.2 13-inch mid-2012 with 16GB RAM running Sonoma 14.4.1. Just updated OCLP to 1.4.3 and everything is running great. Only problem was back with the non-metal issue but since last two OCLP updates all has been well.
This is exactly my thought, here we are installing the latest Mac operating system on a 14 year old computer that otherwise would have been thrown in the dumpster. 👍
2 unfixed problems 1- no shutdown sleep and restart buttons , these are selected in settings under Lock Screen. 2- Apple TV does not opec and play movies in stead it quits the movie window when click play. Question will Pro Logic X operate if purchased and installed ? updated to Mac OS 14.4.1 as soon as it was released and shortly afterwards OLP from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3 Running Mac pro mid 2012 2 x3.0.3 Ghz 12 cores 128 GB ram And Radio Pro WX 9100 16 Gb modified Power supply outputs. Thank you Mr Macintosh for your excellent videos
Macbook Air mid 2011 running 1.4.3 and 14.4.1 no issues so far. Previously tried Sonoma on 1.4.2 and kept getting white screen so went with Ventura with no issues. Updated to 1.4.3 and did a standard MacOS Software Update to Sonoma and it worked like a champ. Didn't know OpenCore would detect the Software Update and automatically prepare for it. Thanks for your help!
Sonoma 14.4.1 update was A-OK using OCLP 1.4.3 on my MacBook Pro 8.1 (early 2011). But I found that the dictation function was disabled and not working at all. I can only use the voice search function built in the browser.
Thank you for doing all these videos! Because of your videos (and all the work of those at OpenCore Legacy Patcher), my MacBook Pro 8,1 (late 2011 non-Metal) is now running Sonoma 14.4.1 flawlessly.
🤔 I have a late 2011 too. Might need to go ahead and upgrade to sonoma. A lil scared cuz i have been using it for awhile with monterey and have slot of stuff installed. Would hate for everything to get wiped out or would hate to get to sonoma and then eant to downgrade and cant and then my stuff is gone!
hola!! been waiting for this - i foolishly ignored the warnings, and 1.4.2 broke my dad's iMac with non-metal - it'll be great to get him back up and running! thxu openCore patchers - very much appreciated. 🙏
My 2007 iMac 20” is fully updated and working well. At a max of 6Gb of memory, it takes a bit to boot - but not bad. If you leave it running - it comes back to life very quickly. I use it for running no more than 2 or 3 apps at a time. I rarely go into swap drive. It runs well enough for web browsing and the iWork apps. I haven’t tested the coming back from sleep. That’s the only place it’s been weak in the past. I have a 2012 iMac 21.5”. This machine is a heavily worked machine. The only problem is the graphics goes bonkers if the screen saver goes dark.
I’m using Ventura 13.6.6 on late 2013 iMac 21.5” (integrated graphics). I upgraded straight from Catalina (the last supported OS) a few months ago. No major issues encountered-just the occasional Bluetooth weirdness. I could have gone to Sonoma but hesitated because it’s still having the kinks worked out, I think. Overall great experience getting this 10+ year old iMac up to a supported macOS version. Only the Intel graphics need patching.
Great work again!! Best iMac tutorials to be found on the web! Update iMac Mid 2011 21,5' to OCLP 1.4.3 running Ventura 13.6.5. Thanks so much for all the work and positive energy. One Question, an APP like Photomater can not be opened, even after the OCPL 1.4.3 update for non-metal cards? The message is "Photomator can´t be opened because your device does not support the Metal graphics technology" ??
iMac end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 flawlessly updated although there was no urge to do it. All works fine. Again many thanks for your help and high quality work in this video.
In case interesting... I just updated a late 2013 27 inch iMac to 14.4.1 in one step (from Max OS 10) with no issues at all I'm delighted thanks. 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4 GB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I upgraded to Ventura 13.6 yesterday on my Macbook Air 6,2 (Early 2014, 8GB/256GB) coming from Catalina. Everything went well on the first try and fresh install. I still had a bootcamp partition with Windows 10 on it before using OCLP but it kept that partition safe. Now the EFI has both OCLP macOS disk boot and Windows 10 :) Thanks for your detailed guide! Edit: After 1 day usage, i can say this OS is really fast, no lags or whatsoever. I did not expect this :) Also, everything works fine like Control Center, widgets and even the animations are smooth.
@@blackandwhitejazzI see.. Well i'm using Sonoma 14.6 right now and everything is still smooth and fast. Even Stage-Manager animations are smooth and switching between windows as well. Only booting is a bit slower which takes like 30 seconds-ish to boot up.
I upgraded my late 2011 MacBook Pro to 16Gb, and to an SSD. It is running Monterey and H Sierra. H Sierra wireless mouse works fine, but not on Monterey. I upgraded to 1.4.3, but Bluetooth is still connecting to the mouse. Bluetooth discoverable is off on System Report.
Great News, Great work! 🧼👍🏻 I am on my modded Mac‘s: 11“ Air i7 2.2 GHz 8GB 1TB 15“ mid 2012 MBP i7 2.7GHz + 16GB + 768GB 17“ late 2011 MBP i7 2.4GHz + 16GB + 1TB + BluRay And all 3 run great on Sonoma 14.4.1 after installing 1.4.3 !
When one user has accessibility zoom On, pointer bigger, text magnifying and picture-in-picture turn On, then Fast User Switching would make the second user login paralysed and pointer not able to open anything. Hard reboot is required. sonoma 14.4.1 & OCLP 1.4.2 on iMac 5K 27-inch 2017.
Thanx for all the great videos. My MacPro 5,1 WiFi/BlueTooth board stopped working quite some time ago after the an OCLP upgrade. WiFi was working fine but BlueTooth was nonfunctional. I tried installing root patches again, no change. I was hoping this upgrade might revivie it but no change. I found a post recommending an NVRAM reset. I opted for the Terminal command and rebooted. Success…My BlueTooth came alive and I was to pair my MagicKeyboard and MagicTrackpad. I don’t know if my BT issue was a fluke but I’ve seen very few references to BT issues and a NVRAM reset as a solution. I went thru numerous OCLP and MacOS upgrades finally ending on Sonoma after the OCLP 1.4.3 upgrade. I ‘d like to hear your thoughts.
I use an Imac end 2012 and it is the first time that after the upgrade with 1.4.3 I got an installation that didn't worked. Its stopped after booting. That was the end and I had to restore Sonoma with a backup.
A problem with MacBook Pro 2014, made an updated USB to 1.4.1, for upgrade 14.4.1 and used it to upgrade an external SSD with no problems. Then used it to upgrade the laptop listed above. All went well but hung up at 25% of the restart. Tried a couple of times with no good results. Put into safe mode and restarted. It finished went into a normal restart and opened up to the home page. Opened up Open Core and went into Post-install root patches. They needed to be reinstalled. Everything is up and running fine. You ask why I did not just do a normal apple upgrade. I have had problems with them in the past, along with twice losing my hard drive on a clean install. Another related or unrelated problem with Chrome and Yahoo mail. Yahoo mail will lock up and freeze up the entire computer. Does the same thing on the 2014 and 2020 m1 in 14.4.0. Thanks for all you do and Open Core.
Hi, on my 15" MacBook pro mid 2015 works Ventura works perfect, beside reboot, tried PR and SMC no success. Only switching off and on helps. Thanks for helping.
I have a 2015 iMac with Sonoma 14.3.1 no problems at the outset but a couple of times the dock didn't show until a reboot, watching your latest update Ive installed OCLP 1.4.3 and seeing if there are any issues with my mac
iMac 14,1 and I STILL have a white background after logging in. I have all of the OCLP updates. even tried wiping, installing Ventura, then Sonoma and still having the same issues.
Used OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.4.3 on my iMac Mid2010 running on High Sierra 10.13.6. Installed Ventura 13.6.6. Instalation went OK, no problems. All seems to be working good BUT GarageBand is not working. It sucks because I was hoping to be working. Few weeks ago I installed OCLP 1.4.2 and garage band won't run because of unsupported GPU. Now it doesn't show this message but it just won't run. I have this iMac just for making music but men this sucks big time. How many times I will be installing OCLP and then going back to High Sierra again? Men im so tired of this.☹🙁🙁
I had High Sierra on the same HDD as Big Sur and later systems. Even though I'd converted HS to APFS, its file system is still very different from BigSur and later. They don't play well together. In fact, every time I opened HS I got a warning to that effect. For example, HS was always sticking its own icon into the bootloader for BigSur and later. I finally deleted it. Good riddance.
Updating to OCLP 1.4.3 from within the older version 1.4.2 of OCLP did not work on my MacBook5,1 (the pro-ish model); MacBook Pro 2008 17" HiRes; and MacBook5,2 2,13 GHz 800 MHz Memory Model. I had to download OCLP manually. However, it did update properly on my MacBook Pro mid 2014 13".
my mid 2011 iMac was running OCLP Sonoma without issues until OCLP 1.4.3 update. now when it boots it does not load with display wallpaper but a blank screen, it then comes up with the wallpaper and the programs in the dock. system also does not sleep; screen goes off but fan still keeps running.
17 inch MacBook Pro late 2011, running Ventura 13.6.6 like a dream here. Had to manually enable Terrascale 2 in Opencore, after that runs smooth. Only issue I have is, it plays all video without issues except UA-cam on all browsers, picture stays black and gives a error. Hoping to fix that, then it would be 100%!
Just updated to this new Opencore version, my problems with UA-cam in any browser are gone! Awesome work again! If I may also note, I am so glad this project came along. My (pretty expensive back then) MacBook Pro was rendered useless, when the updates stopped and was left with (I think it was) High Siërra, all apps stopped working because of incompattibily, battery also died after 45min use. Left the MacBook on the shelf for over 3 years and now its back and works like a charme. Also the battery works almost 5 hours now … Donated to this awesome project, because it deserves the credits! Again thanks
Superb! I have a Mac Pro 6.1 and a MacBook Pro 15 2015 (with amd r9 m370x) now running with latest OCLP and Sonoma. I also have a thunderbolt display. On Monterrey i has abble to get auto brightness adjustment, but with OCLP and Sonoma i lost that. I can adjust brightness (and sound) manually. Is there a chance that could bring the auto brightness option?
Mid 2011 iMac - a little squirrely but now everything is fine. The 2009 MacBook Pro 5,5 ....... not good. Updated patcher, let it download Sonoma update (it was running fine on a previous version of Sonoma) and at the end of all the downloading and preparing and updating I had no keyboard or mouse. USB 1.1 hub didn't work this time for me. Fortunately, I also had Ventura installed on another volume so I could boot and confirm there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Just finished erasing the sonoma volume, downloading an earlier version, building and installer and I'll install it and recover from Time Machine. What a PITA though. I think I'll hold off on my other non-metal machines until the dust settles a bit. They are all running earlier Sonoma just fine.
I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 card and I have several boot drives/volumes - mostly SSDs for booting. I can get Monterey, Ventura, High Sierra, and even Snow Leopard to work with latest OS versions and OCLP 1.4.3 but can't get BIg Sur to do the same. For some reason, the menu bar won't load/Metal video driver won't load (when I check system report or iStat Menus) despite it being "built-in" to Big Sur. The funny thing is when install an Apple ATI 5770 card and root patch, Big Sur does work. I am downfounded. Somehow Big Sur broke with the 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3 OCLP cycle. I also tried reverting to OCLP 1.3 but that doesn't seem to work either (when it used to). Mr. Macintosh or anyone - what do you think is causing BIg Sur to not work anymore in my configuration.
Firstly great work folks and a huge thank you. I have never used any mac until picking up a mid 2010 iMac 6 weeks ago. (£20) It took me 4 days to get in after the previous user didn't log out. With a bit more RAM and a few incremental updates I am stable on Venturer. 1.4.1 took out my WiFi and it isn't back yet. When I go to settings to switch the wifi on the whole details section goes completely blank. Is it just me or did I miss something. Thanks for any help
If I could request, would it be possible in a future video to see the devices themselves rather than a screen recording? That way it could perhaps look more distinguishable….. Nevertheless I really like the video, thank you for the OCLP tutorials! I’m actually an unsupported Mac user myself, and these tutorials have been very helpful 👍
Hello @JonathanJChua thank you for the suggestion. I want you to know that I've really thought about this a lot. I totally understand that while the screen recording is very easy to see, sometimes it is very static and does not have very much life to it. I try to split the time between setting up all the devices, installing and testing + filming and then editing along with getting the information out there as soon as possible. I have done camera over videos in the past and many commented that they could not see what is on the screen. Maybe I can find a way to split between the 2 so you can actually see the computer & then switch to screen when I start going over some of the details. Thank you again for watching!
@@Mr.Macintosh Ah okay gotcha. Nevertheless I really enjoy watching your videos! I actually have two unsupported Macs that I am using OCLP with: one of them is my 2017 MacBook Air, the other being my late 2015 27” 5K iMac. I have Sonoma installed on both of them and it’s really cool to see them both running as if they were natively supported! Thank you again for all the tutorials!
Hello Doc! Thank you very much for all this work ;-) Question: Can you please tell me if the problem with the operation of the Ethernet network with the "Sonnet McFiver PCIe Card" has been corrected in this latest OpenCore version (Marvel Aquantia AQtion AQC107), under macOS Monterey and + ? Thanks in advance
OCLP 1.4.3 killt wifi on the Mac Mini 7,1. It was completely unavailable. After reverting to OCLP 1.4.2 wifi was fully functional again (Sonoma 14.4.1).
This was great info. I have a 2012 Mac Pro 64 gb Ram, MSI Radeon RX580 gpu, Monterey 12.7.4 and OCLP 1.4.3 installed it’s seems to be a little unstable. I used my computer for recording. My Presonus Studio 192 has audio coming in but the Universal Control app isn’t detecting the audio interface. I’m kinda stuck on what to do.
Anyone with iMac Mid2010 tried to update and run Garageband? I have my iMac just for music and when i upgraded with OCLP 1.4.2 it didnt run because of non metal graphic card issue. Thanks a bunch for any feedback.
That you for all your superb videos. Here are my experiences: I have five macs running on Sonoma 14.4.1, one MacBook pro, one Macbook Air and one MacBook are working flawless. Just with two iMacs which are upgraded with modern wireless cards and metal compatible graphic cards there are always problems. The Macbook pro late 2014 updated to OCLP 1.4.3 with any issue. The iMac 12,1 (mid 2011) which ran without problems on 14.4.1 and OCLP 1.4.2 did not boot after updating OCLP but showed a kernel panic and this 🚫 on a white screen. I restarted with my OCLP 1.4.2 installer disk changed the refi boot back to 1.4.2a nd it ran again. The root patches worked and are now on 1.4.3, so the efi boot file from 1.4.3 is to blame. Similar problem on my iMac 11,3 (mid 2010) which is also updated with modern wireless and a metal-compatible card. Since early Sonoma days the Open Core boot never worked when I did create it on this very machine, It always stuck at one third of the boot bar. I then made a boot version on another iMac and ported it to the 11,3 iMac. It started without Wifi but it made the full boot. I then entered the necessary kexts manually via OCAuxiliaryTools because in this boot section would be the standard configuration (the old wifi card) and not my new one. Everything worked as long as I didn’t update the OCLP boot. But since 14,4 & 14.4.1 I lost Wifi, I cannot activate the wifi switch. What is amazing: With my working alternative boot build I can boot up but then cannot activate wifi. And with the original boot build by OCLP 1.4.2 I cannot boot, but when I boot in safe mode I have wifi. In safe mode it also tells me that the Windowserver had a kernel panic. Still unsure whether I should try 1.4.3 on this machine at all! Can you tell me what is wrong or lead me to somebody who has an idea? This would be really appreciated.
Hello @walterkohler9035 thank you for your well detailed and thoughtful reply on your install experiences. This is exactly why I need to bring some iMacs into the testing fold. The problem is they are just so damn big! At least with all the laptops, mini and small 2013 Mac Pro I can manage the space. Not to say I can't figure out a way to make this work. I am defiantly thinking about it now. What I would like to find out is what is actually preventing boot and what is causing the Mac to get stuck on boot. I've been able to figure out issues like this in the past but I needed a unit that had the problem to help reproduce it and again is why I need some iMacs. I'm not totally sure what your issues are just yet. Do both the 2010 and 2011 have upgraded wifi?
Yes both have it. I can send you the crash report of the 11,3 and I will try to redo the boot with oclp 1.4.3 on the 12,1 and try to make a screen shot.
Can I install Big Sur or one later on my nonmetal iMac mid 2011? If so I will try and donate to the team. Thank you for maintaining where Apple doesn’t.
How can you tell if a Macbook Pro is non-metal or not? I keep hearing about it when watching these videos about the different versions of the Open Core Legacy Patcher. I have a Mac Pro 8,1 from early 2011.
I installed Sonoma OS version 14.3.1 with Open-Core Patch 1.3.0. MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 Model 1278 worked perfectly. But after downloading/installing Open-Core Patch 1.4.3 my MacBook Pro 13" got stuck and the Apple logo screen. even after resetting the NV Ram and attempting to log in to safe mode. can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks, Mr Macintosh for sharing your knowledge,Its pleasant to learn from you.Thank you for your time and dedication to help us .
Hello. I have a Imac 2011 and I have installed Sonoma through the Legacy 1.4.3 patcher I think what you and all the others have done is great job for older users like myself. I have installed Logic Pro 10.7.9 on my machine and when playing or recording the playhead is not there, on one forum somebody mentions it may have something to do with metal or nonmetal. Do you know if there is a fix for this? Regards Pete.
I use Macbook Pro Mid 2015 15" and OCLP 1.4.3, macOS 14.4. When I upgraded to 14.4.1, the boot logo hung for a long time and I had to reinstall it like new. However, according to some comments, It seems like it's just for a long time, not just hanging. I wonder if that's true? :))))
After updating to 1.4.3, it installed the root patcher and now my Ventura 13.6.1 won't boot anymore, the progress bar stops at around 15% or so. I have to go back to snapshot to boot, but open core complains the root is not patched again. Running MBP 13" early 2015
I have iMac Mid2010 with 10.13.6 High Sierra. I used OCLP few weeks ago, downloaded and installed Ventura. It worked OK but there was a problem when opening GarageBand. I got message that there is a problem with graphic card because it runs on unsuported system. Is OCLP 1.4.3 fixed this problem? I have ATI Radeon 5750 1GB graphic card. I just do not want to go with this procedure and be disappointed in the end.
Mr Macintosh Is it safe now to install MacOS Sonoma as I updated it before but messed up with a beta update 2 months ago and then had to reset to normal Big Sur which is native supported version MacBook Pro Late 2013 Is it safe to update it with Settings without USB Like installing MacOS Sonoma from App store and then isbatll it directly using oclp without USB Please guide me about latest issues on Sonoma right now 😊
MacBook Air 3,2 I think, running v14.2 and was waiting for the fixes for 14.4. The only issue is that a) 4GB is not enough, and b) the calculator app doesn't work (always prints "Not a Number" on any calculation). I have updated to OCP 1.4.3 and will build my boot USB for booting v14.4.1. My biggest question is whether I can let the OS update itself or if I need to initiate an install from booting up the install USB drive.
You bet! with OCLP 1.4.3 installed you can upgrade or update to Sonoma 14.4.1. IF you need to upgrade from a previous os like Monterey or Ventura you need to create a OCLP Sonoma boot disk. Upgrading through software update is not supported.
I’m my late 2011 MBP 13 inch I’m running Ventura but there are issues to use zoom apps properly. There is no way I can make it work with the annotation tools! So I’m using windows in boot camp
Hello, I recently updated my late 2012 MacBook Pro to Big Sur with your tutorial, do you think that I can have a problem updating to Sonoma directly from the settings menu or it’s okay?
I’ve got an iMac mid 2011 running Monterey 12.7.4. Works well expect WiFi drops out occasionally and it isn’t clear to me whether I should try Sonoma or just live with it. Any thoughts.
Hi Mr. Mac! 🙂What about MacBook Pro 5.5 Mid 2009 / Keyboard & Trackpad?? Will there be an Update?? When I upgrade nothing works.... Got a clue? I think the journey with my Mac is coming to an end at the end of the year (Monterey)....? Well... Found an Info on Github. No way at the moment. Let's wait for a solution! By the way...... A Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad is possible? Thanks mate!
It seems that the OCLP 1.4.3 +MacOS 14.4.1 combination broke the dynamic wallpaper. it's stuck on dark regardless of the selected option (dynamic, light, dark). Was working correctly on OCLP1.4.2+MacOS 14.4. MBP 13" Mid2014 I'm guessing reverting back to OCLP 1.4.2 is not worth the hassle?
I have a 2012 macbook air, I did the update and now my screen goes black. If I am not using my touch pad or keyboard. It’s very odd. Its a little a little slower than what I’d like, its at the end of its life for sure.
My iMac 14.3 (23D56) doesn't update to 14.4.1, it stays on the Install MacOs screen and just keeps restarting, the update size is just over 2GB but it won't
My MacBook Pro 9,2 CPU is almost always around 100% with sonoma and the previous OCP version. Will this OCP version fix that or is the sonoma os just too power hungry? Should I just downgrade back to Ventura and settle for that?
Imac 2013 with i7 27" running Sonoma 14.3 with olcp 1.4.1. Updated olcp to 1.4.3, installed to efi, updated root patches, reboot. Now stuck on boot screen, progress bar at 25%. Suggestions?

I upgrade my mbp 10,1 first with OCLP 1.4.3. and then Sonoma from 14.4 to 14.4.1 without issues. Everything seems to be working. Thank you Mr. Macintosh for all your videos, and the devs of OCLP, it is much appreciated.
Can you provide some tips I can't get it too work. Running Monterey with ease on my 5,1 and 7,1
Ventura 13.6.6 update SUCCESS using OCLP 1.4.3! No issues on Late 2012 27" iMac. Thanks as always Mr. Macintosh for your thorough videos!! 🙂
Great to hear @CosmicHiccup11 Thank you for sharing your install experience. I'm glad to hear about a successful install on an iMac! Plus good old trusty ventura is still the rock 👍
I use my early 2009 imac (9,1) as secondary computer for surfing the internet. This mac still has the original HD so updating is very slow. But I had no problems installing 14.4.1 after following the steps you recommended with the OCLP. It seems to hang when installing but, in fact, it is just slow. Amazing how this computer is still usable in 2024! Thanks OCLP team and to you, Mr.Macintosh.
Comments like this are what caused me to jump on the bandwagon.
an SSD would light that up for you and quite affordable these days.
The early-2009 was the last "blackback" iMac model. The ones that still have problems are the mid-2009-to-late-2011 "silverbacks" (the last DVD models).
21:39 Always great to hear even that little eureka moment from an gifted and very experienced Apple Engineer. Great moment to share Mr. Macintosh! Thanks for the videos that are always easy to follow. Cheers
Thanks @mvrck-pb5pk not going to lie, it was a great time trying to troubleshoot that disabled system. Normally I do this behind the scenes but it is fun and interesting to share the steps and thought process taken. Thank you very much for your comments ❤️
the Spotlight Hack just came too late for me ;) Reinstalled 14.4.1 on my MacBookPro8,3 via a patched USB stick; but nice to know for the next time...
@@Mr.Macintosh Mr. Macintosh, could you please consider creating an easy how to video for swapping to another GPU in OCLP installs? I have an issue with this (GTX 680 macEFI to RX 580 with new reconstructed BootRom with EnableGOP 1,4 injected) as well, but I see MacRumors flooding with this issues lately. Thanks and would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Running perfectly on Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008 Dual 3.2, GTX 760 (Metal), 'OWC' SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 & OCLP 1.4.3. A very big thank-you to all involved in keeping our old Macs relevant 🙂
Mac Pro 6.1 working perfect with OpenCore 1.4.3 on MacOS 14.4.1 and the iMac 12.2 that we spoke about on X is now working as normal on macOS 14.4.1 with OpenCore 1.4.3. Thank you so much to you and all the developers. You guys ROCK!
Just upgraded OCLP from 1.4..2 to 1.4.3 on my 2013-2019 MacPro with latest Sonoma 14.4.1. Took about 5-minutes, with no issues. Thanks!
While I was on OCLP 1.4.2 I was having a hard time updating my MacBookPro9,2 to Sonoma and Ventura. I had an SSD installer and my hard drive cable ripped slightly so I had to order a new one, I ended up being able to install Monterey via USB, then use the Ventura installer app to update, and then after I installed 1.4.3 I managed to use OTA updates to get Sonoma installed. It runs pretty smoothly with 4GB RAM but I do plan on upgrading to 16GB of RAM.
Nice! Oh for sure, 4GB does work but 16GB will really open it up for sure especially from swapping to the hard drive
I upgrade to somoma 14.4.1 before upgrade to OCLP 1.4.2 accidentally last weeken. Now all the problems cause by loging window were fixed ! Thanks for the tips by use command + spacebar to let me input my PWD and copy while doing version upgrade to OPLC 1.4.2 . The rest of the upgrade steps are as show in this video.
Great to have seen this video save me a lot of time !
2012 MBP 9,1 OS 14.4.1 OCLP 1.4.2 thought this update was fine - no problem, done and dusted in less than 5 minutes.
2012 Mini 6,1 OS 13.6.6 OCLP 1.4.2 hated it. Many hours later, finished migrating user data from backup after complete clean install of the OS, and back to 1.4.2.
*Always* have multiple backups and a USB OCLP and OS installer before hitting go on these updates - be it OS or OCLP.
That said, Thank you OCLP team, Dortania, Mr. Macintosh and community for all this incredible work. Amazing expertise and focus.
Running my mid-2009 15” MacBook Pro on Monterey 12.7.4, working well and got wifi back working thanks to your very useful video 🎉 many thanks for your great work, it really makes a difference !
Nous avons le même Macbook Pro version 5,5 ;) Tentant maintenant d’installer Sonoma… Avez-vous déjà essayé sur votre machine ? Je tourne sous la dernière version de Ventura. J’ai optimisé le mac avec un SSD et 8Gb de RAM. Avez-vous tenté 16Gb ?
MacBook Pro9.2 13-inch mid-2012 with 16GB RAM running Sonoma 14.4.1. Just updated OCLP to 1.4.3 and everything is running great. Only problem was back with the non-metal issue but since last two OCLP updates all has been well.
MacBook Air 6,2 from 2013 with i7 Core Duo running well with OCLP 1.4.3 and Sonoma 14.4.1. The Devs make great things !!
Nice @michameller !! Keep that MacBook Air flying 👍
Amazing work ! So many Mac users and the planet 🌎 thank you so much ! 🍃 🌳
This is exactly my thought, here we are installing the latest Mac operating system on a 14 year old computer that otherwise would have been thrown in the dumpster. 👍
2 unfixed problems 1- no shutdown sleep and restart buttons , these are selected in settings under Lock Screen.
2- Apple TV does not opec and play movies in stead it quits the movie window when click play.
Question will Pro Logic X operate if purchased and installed ?
updated to Mac OS 14.4.1 as soon as it was released and shortly afterwards OLP from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3
Running Mac pro mid 2012 2 x3.0.3 Ghz 12 cores 128 GB ram And Radio Pro WX 9100 16 Gb modified Power supply outputs. Thank you Mr Macintosh for your excellent videos
Macbook Air mid 2011 running 1.4.3 and 14.4.1 no issues so far. Previously tried Sonoma on 1.4.2 and kept getting white screen so went with Ventura with no issues. Updated to 1.4.3 and did a standard MacOS Software Update to Sonoma and it worked like a champ. Didn't know OpenCore would detect the Software Update and automatically prepare for it. Thanks for your help!
14.4.1 on iMac 17,1 using OCLP 1.4.3 working perfectly. Many thanks for your videos.
Imac 2009 with i7 870 27” update to ventura 3.6.6 no problems 🎉 thank Mr. Macintosh! And Open Core for making all of this happen!
Sonoma 14.4.1 update was A-OK using OCLP 1.4.3 on my MacBook Pro 8.1 (early 2011). But I found that the dictation function was disabled and not working at all. I can only use the voice search function built in the browser.
Please, how long did it take to update and what was the total Gigabits?
Thank you for doing all these videos! Because of your videos (and all the work of those at OpenCore Legacy Patcher), my MacBook Pro 8,1 (late 2011 non-Metal) is now running Sonoma 14.4.1 flawlessly.
🤔 I have a late 2011 too. Might need to go ahead and upgrade to sonoma. A lil scared cuz i have been using it for awhile with monterey and have slot of stuff installed. Would hate for everything to get wiped out or would hate to get to sonoma and then eant to downgrade and cant and then my stuff is gone!
Thanks Mr. Macintosh. Thanks to the OCLP team!
i installed ventura 13.6.5 on a macbook pro 13" late 2011 with no issue at all , thx Mr. Macintosh !!
hola!! been waiting for this - i foolishly ignored the warnings, and 1.4.2 broke my dad's iMac with non-metal - it'll be great to get him back up and running! thxu openCore patchers - very much appreciated. 🙏
My 2007 iMac 20” is fully updated and working well. At a max of 6Gb of memory, it takes a bit to boot - but not bad. If you leave it running - it comes back to life very quickly. I use it for running no more than 2 or 3 apps at a time. I rarely go into swap drive. It runs well enough for web browsing and the iWork apps. I haven’t tested the coming back from sleep. That’s the only place it’s been weak in the past.
I have a 2012 iMac 21.5”. This machine is a heavily worked machine. The only problem is the graphics goes bonkers if the screen saver goes dark.
Great, informative and well structured video. also good quality. thanks for your work!! :)
Mac Pro 6,1 running OCLP 1.4.3 and Sonoma 14.4.1. All good, with only a minor issue of login items not executing on startup. Easily done manually.
I’m using Ventura 13.6.6 on late 2013 iMac 21.5” (integrated graphics). I upgraded straight from Catalina (the last supported OS) a few months ago. No major issues encountered-just the occasional Bluetooth weirdness. I could have gone to Sonoma but hesitated because it’s still having the kinks worked out, I think. Overall great experience getting this 10+ year old iMac up to a supported macOS version. Only the Intel graphics need patching.
Great work again!! Best iMac tutorials to be found on the web! Update iMac Mid 2011 21,5' to OCLP 1.4.3 running Ventura 13.6.5. Thanks so much for all the work and positive energy.
One Question, an APP like Photomater can not be opened, even after the OCPL 1.4.3 update for non-metal cards? The message is "Photomator can´t be opened because your device does not support the Metal graphics technology" ??
iMac end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 flawlessly updated although there was no urge to do it. All works fine. Again many thanks for your help and high quality work in this video.
MBP mid 2015 is what i've got. Thanks for the info
You welcome
In case interesting... I just updated a late 2013 27 inch iMac to 14.4.1 in one step (from Max OS 10) with no issues at all I'm delighted thanks. 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4 GB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Thank you for the great work you are doing…
I upgraded to Ventura 13.6 yesterday on my Macbook Air 6,2 (Early 2014, 8GB/256GB) coming from Catalina. Everything went well on the first try and fresh install.
I still had a bootcamp partition with Windows 10 on it before using OCLP but it kept that partition safe. Now the EFI has both OCLP macOS disk boot and Windows 10 :)
Thanks for your detailed guide!
Edit: After 1 day usage, i can say this OS is really fast, no lags or whatsoever. I did not expect this :)
Also, everything works fine like Control Center, widgets and even the animations are smooth.
Tried connecting a magic trackpad? Took me about a dozen tries.
@@blackandwhitejazzI'm afraid not, because i don't have one 😅
If you had only 3GB RAM, you'd see how slow Ventura is compared to Monterey. Especially booting and system settings.
@@blackandwhitejazzI see.. Well i'm using Sonoma 14.6 right now and everything is still smooth and fast. Even Stage-Manager animations are smooth and switching between windows as well.
Only booting is a bit slower which takes like 30 seconds-ish to boot up.
I upgraded my late 2011 MacBook Pro to 16Gb, and to an SSD. It is running Monterey and H Sierra. H Sierra wireless mouse works fine, but not on Monterey. I upgraded to 1.4.3, but Bluetooth is still connecting to the mouse. Bluetooth discoverable is off on System Report.
Great News, Great work! 🧼👍🏻
I am on my modded Mac‘s:
11“ Air i7 2.2 GHz 8GB 1TB
15“ mid 2012 MBP i7 2.7GHz + 16GB + 768GB
17“ late 2011 MBP i7 2.4GHz + 16GB + 1TB + BluRay
And all 3 run great on Sonoma 14.4.1 after installing 1.4.3 !
I got rickrolled so bad with OCLP 1.4.3. Well played.
When one user has accessibility zoom On, pointer bigger, text magnifying and picture-in-picture turn On, then Fast User Switching would make the second user login paralysed and pointer not able to open anything. Hard reboot is required. sonoma 14.4.1 & OCLP 1.4.2 on iMac 5K 27-inch 2017.
Really great work, made my Macbook pro 2011 usable again!
Thanx for all the great videos. My MacPro 5,1 WiFi/BlueTooth board stopped working quite some time ago after the an OCLP upgrade. WiFi was working fine but BlueTooth was nonfunctional. I tried installing root patches again, no change. I was hoping this upgrade might revivie it but no change. I found a post recommending an NVRAM reset. I opted for the Terminal command and rebooted. Success…My BlueTooth came alive and I was to pair my MagicKeyboard and MagicTrackpad. I don’t know if my BT issue was a fluke but I’ve seen very few references to BT issues and a NVRAM reset as a solution. I went thru numerous OCLP and MacOS upgrades finally ending on Sonoma after the OCLP 1.4.3 upgrade. I ‘d like to hear your thoughts.
I use an Imac end 2012 and it is the first time that after the upgrade with 1.4.3 I got an installation that didn't worked. Its stopped after booting. That was the end and I had to restore Sonoma with a backup.
I had problems with the new update, I needed to install it complete new. Now it's working fine. Macbook Air 2015
I had problems with my early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro using Sonoma 14.4.1. WiFi problems, booting problems, now fixed.
A problem with MacBook Pro 2014, made an updated USB to 1.4.1, for upgrade 14.4.1 and used it to upgrade an external SSD with no problems. Then used it to upgrade the laptop listed above. All went well but hung up at 25% of the restart. Tried a couple of times with no good results. Put into safe mode and restarted. It finished went into a normal restart and opened up to the home page. Opened up Open Core and went into Post-install root patches. They needed to be reinstalled. Everything is up and running fine. You ask why I did not just do a normal apple upgrade. I have had problems with them in the past, along with twice losing my hard drive on a clean install. Another related or unrelated problem with Chrome and Yahoo mail. Yahoo mail will lock up and freeze up the entire computer. Does the same thing on the 2014 and 2020 m1 in 14.4.0. Thanks for all you do and Open Core.
Hi, on my 15" MacBook pro mid 2015 works Ventura works perfect, beside reboot, tried PR and SMC no success. Only switching off and on helps. Thanks for helping.
fixed my issue on MacBook Pro 2010. upgraded to 14.4.
This is great news @misterkalyanr I'm glad you are back up and running on the classic 5,1
I have a 2015 iMac with Sonoma 14.3.1 no problems at the outset but a couple of times the dock didn't show until a reboot, watching your latest update Ive installed OCLP 1.4.3 and seeing if there are any issues with my mac
Mac Pro 2013 running 14.4.1. Working wonderfully
iMac 14,1 and I STILL have a white background after logging in. I have all of the OCLP updates. even tried wiping, installing Ventura, then Sonoma and still having the same issues.
Used OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.4.3 on my iMac Mid2010 running on High Sierra 10.13.6. Installed Ventura 13.6.6. Instalation went OK, no problems. All seems to be working good BUT GarageBand is not working. It sucks because I was hoping to be working. Few weeks ago I installed OCLP 1.4.2 and garage band won't run because of unsupported GPU. Now it doesn't show this message but it just won't run. I have this iMac just for making music but men this sucks big time. How many times I will be installing OCLP and then going back to High Sierra again? Men im so tired of this.☹🙁🙁
I had High Sierra on the same HDD as Big Sur and later systems. Even though I'd converted HS to APFS, its file system is still very different from BigSur and later. They don't play well together. In fact, every time I opened HS I got a warning to that effect. For example, HS was always sticking its own icon into the bootloader for BigSur and later. I finally deleted it. Good riddance.
fantastic work once again
mac pro 5,1 only problem i got was no keyboard and mouse at log in ive gone back to Monterey
Updating to OCLP 1.4.3 from within the older version 1.4.2 of OCLP did not work on my MacBook5,1 (the pro-ish model); MacBook Pro 2008 17" HiRes; and MacBook5,2 2,13 GHz 800 MHz Memory Model. I had to download OCLP manually. However, it did update properly on my MacBook Pro mid 2014 13".
my mid 2011 iMac was running OCLP Sonoma without issues until OCLP 1.4.3 update. now when it boots it does not load with display wallpaper but a blank screen, it then comes up with the wallpaper and the programs in the dock. system also does not sleep; screen goes off but fan still keeps running.
17 inch MacBook Pro late 2011, running Ventura 13.6.6 like a dream here. Had to manually enable Terrascale 2 in Opencore, after that runs smooth. Only issue I have is, it plays all video without issues except UA-cam on all browsers, picture stays black and gives a error. Hoping to fix that, then it would be 100%!
Just updated to this new Opencore version, my problems with UA-cam in any browser are gone! Awesome work again! If I may also note, I am so glad this project came along. My (pretty expensive back then) MacBook Pro was rendered useless, when the updates stopped and was left with (I think it was) High Siërra, all apps stopped working because of incompattibily, battery also died after 45min use. Left the MacBook on the shelf for over 3 years and now its back and works like a charme. Also the battery works almost 5 hours now …
Donated to this awesome project, because it deserves the credits! Again thanks
Superb! I have a Mac Pro 6.1 and a MacBook Pro 15 2015 (with amd r9 m370x) now running with latest OCLP and Sonoma. I also have a thunderbolt display. On Monterrey i has abble to get auto brightness adjustment, but with OCLP and Sonoma i lost that. I can adjust brightness (and sound) manually. Is there a chance that could bring the auto brightness option?
What screen share app are you using
Mid 2011 iMac - a little squirrely but now everything is fine. The 2009 MacBook Pro 5,5 ....... not good. Updated patcher, let it download Sonoma update (it was running fine on a previous version of Sonoma) and at the end of all the downloading and preparing and updating I had no keyboard or mouse. USB 1.1 hub didn't work this time for me. Fortunately, I also had Ventura installed on another volume so I could boot and confirm there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Just finished erasing the sonoma volume, downloading an earlier version, building and installer and I'll install it and recover from Time Machine. What a PITA though. I think I'll hold off on my other non-metal machines until the dust settles a bit. They are all running earlier Sonoma just fine.
Still have Touch Bar problem on my 2017 MBP. And I've checked the T1 controller always in Recovery mode caused the Touch Bar cannot function
I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 card and I have several boot drives/volumes - mostly SSDs for booting. I can get Monterey, Ventura, High Sierra, and even Snow Leopard to work with latest OS versions and OCLP 1.4.3 but can't get BIg Sur to do the same. For some reason, the menu bar won't load/Metal video driver won't load (when I check system report or iStat Menus) despite it being "built-in" to Big Sur. The funny thing is when install an Apple ATI 5770 card and root patch, Big Sur does work. I am downfounded. Somehow Big Sur broke with the 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3 OCLP cycle. I also tried reverting to OCLP 1.3 but that doesn't seem to work either (when it used to). Mr. Macintosh or anyone - what do you think is causing BIg Sur to not work anymore in my configuration.
Firstly great work folks and a huge thank you.
I have never used any mac until picking up a mid 2010 iMac 6 weeks ago. (£20) It took me 4 days to get in after the previous user didn't log out. With a bit more RAM and a few incremental updates I am stable on Venturer. 1.4.1 took out my WiFi and it isn't back yet. When I go to settings to switch the wifi on the whole details section goes completely blank. Is it just me or did I miss something.
Thanks for any help
If I could request, would it be possible in a future video to see the devices themselves rather than a screen recording? That way it could perhaps look more distinguishable….. Nevertheless I really like the video, thank you for the OCLP tutorials! I’m actually an unsupported Mac user myself, and these tutorials have been very helpful 👍
Hello @JonathanJChua thank you for the suggestion. I want you to know that I've really thought about this a lot. I totally understand that while the screen recording is very easy to see, sometimes it is very static and does not have very much life to it. I try to split the time between setting up all the devices, installing and testing + filming and then editing along with getting the information out there as soon as possible. I have done camera over videos in the past and many commented that they could not see what is on the screen. Maybe I can find a way to split between the 2 so you can actually see the computer & then switch to screen when I start going over some of the details. Thank you again for watching!
@@Mr.Macintosh Ah okay gotcha. Nevertheless I really enjoy watching your videos! I actually have two unsupported Macs that I am using OCLP with: one of them is my 2017 MacBook Air, the other being my late 2015 27” 5K iMac. I have Sonoma installed on both of them and it’s really cool to see them both running as if they were natively supported! Thank you again for all the tutorials!
Hello Doc!
Thank you very much for all this work ;-)
Question: Can you please tell me if the problem with the operation of the Ethernet network with the "Sonnet McFiver PCIe Card" has been corrected in this latest OpenCore version (Marvel Aquantia AQtion AQC107), under macOS Monterey and + ?
Thanks in advance
Installed 14.4.1 on an Late-2012 iMac (i7 @ 3.4GHz) using OCLP 1.4.3 with no problems.
OCLP 1.4.3 killt wifi on the Mac Mini 7,1. It was completely unavailable. After reverting to OCLP 1.4.2 wifi was fully functional again (Sonoma 14.4.1).
This was great info. I have a 2012 Mac Pro 64 gb Ram, MSI Radeon RX580 gpu, Monterey 12.7.4 and OCLP 1.4.3 installed it’s seems to be a little unstable. I used my computer for recording. My Presonus Studio 192 has audio coming in but the Universal Control app isn’t detecting the audio interface.
I’m kinda stuck on what to do.
Anyone with iMac Mid2010 tried to update and run Garageband? I have my iMac just for music and when i upgraded with OCLP 1.4.2 it didnt run because of non metal graphic card issue. Thanks a bunch for any feedback.
That you for all your superb videos. Here are my experiences:
I have five macs running on Sonoma 14.4.1, one MacBook pro, one Macbook Air and one MacBook are working flawless. Just with two iMacs which are upgraded with modern wireless cards and metal compatible graphic cards there are always problems. The Macbook pro late 2014 updated to OCLP 1.4.3 with any issue. The iMac 12,1 (mid 2011) which ran without problems on 14.4.1 and OCLP 1.4.2 did not boot after updating OCLP but showed a kernel panic and this 🚫 on a white screen. I restarted with my OCLP 1.4.2 installer disk changed the refi boot back to 1.4.2a nd it ran again. The root patches worked and are now on 1.4.3, so the efi boot file from 1.4.3 is to blame.
Similar problem on my iMac 11,3 (mid 2010) which is also updated with modern wireless and a metal-compatible card. Since early Sonoma days the Open Core boot never worked when I did create it on this very machine, It always stuck at one third of the boot bar. I then made a boot version on another iMac and ported it to the 11,3 iMac. It started without Wifi but it made the full boot. I then entered the necessary kexts manually via OCAuxiliaryTools because in this boot section would be the standard configuration (the old wifi card) and not my new one. Everything worked as long as I didn’t update the OCLP boot. But since 14,4 & 14.4.1 I lost Wifi, I cannot activate the wifi switch. What is amazing: With my working alternative boot build I can boot up but then cannot activate wifi. And with the original boot build by OCLP 1.4.2 I cannot boot, but when I boot in safe mode I have wifi. In safe mode it also tells me that the Windowserver had a kernel panic. Still unsure whether I should try 1.4.3 on this machine at all!
Can you tell me what is wrong or lead me to somebody who has an idea? This would be really appreciated.
Hello @walterkohler9035 thank you for your well detailed and thoughtful reply on your install experiences. This is exactly why I need to bring some iMacs into the testing fold. The problem is they are just so damn big! At least with all the laptops, mini and small 2013 Mac Pro I can manage the space. Not to say I can't figure out a way to make this work. I am defiantly thinking about it now. What I would like to find out is what is actually preventing boot and what is causing the Mac to get stuck on boot. I've been able to figure out issues like this in the past but I needed a unit that had the problem to help reproduce it and again is why I need some iMacs. I'm not totally sure what your issues are just yet. Do both the 2010 and 2011 have upgraded wifi?
Yes both have it. I can send you the crash report of the 11,3 and I will try to redo the boot with oclp 1.4.3 on the 12,1 and try to make a screen shot.
Where should I send the files?
Can I install Big Sur or one later on my nonmetal iMac mid 2011? If so I will try and donate to the team. Thank you for maintaining where Apple doesn’t.
How can you tell if a Macbook Pro is non-metal or not? I keep hearing about it when watching these videos about the different versions of the Open Core Legacy Patcher. I have a Mac Pro 8,1 from early 2011.
I'm on iMac 11,3 (27 inch mid 2010) I've installed 1.4.3 but lost wifi: it only show Status: Off - button 'Turn Wi-Fi On' not working. Any help ?
I'm Running Monterey 12.7.4
I installed Sonoma OS version 14.3.1 with Open-Core Patch 1.3.0. MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 Model 1278 worked perfectly. But after downloading/installing Open-Core Patch 1.4.3 my MacBook Pro 13" got stuck and the Apple logo screen. even after resetting the NV Ram and attempting to log in to safe mode. can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Thanks, Mr Macintosh for sharing your knowledge,Its pleasant to learn from you.Thank you for your time and dedication to help us .
Excellent, what more can I say. Thank you
I have a 2012 iMac for sure... probably have a 2014 as well... I have a number of 'em lol! where are you located roughly?
Hello. I have a Imac 2011 and I have installed Sonoma through the Legacy 1.4.3 patcher I think what you and all the others have done is great job for older users like myself. I have installed Logic Pro 10.7.9 on my machine and when playing or recording the playhead is not there, on one forum somebody mentions it may have something to do with metal or nonmetal. Do you know if there is a fix for this?
Regards Pete.
I use Macbook Pro Mid 2015 15" and OCLP 1.4.3, macOS 14.4. When I upgraded to 14.4.1, the boot logo hung for a long time and I had to reinstall it like new. However, according to some comments, It seems like it's just for a long time, not just hanging. I wonder if that's true? :))))
After updating to 1.4.3, it installed the root patcher and now my Ventura 13.6.1 won't boot anymore, the progress bar stops at around 15% or so. I have to go back to snapshot to boot, but open core complains the root is not patched again. Running MBP 13" early 2015
I have iMac Mid2010 with 10.13.6 High Sierra. I used OCLP few weeks ago, downloaded and installed Ventura. It worked OK but there was a problem when opening GarageBand. I got message that there is a problem with graphic card because it runs on unsuported system. Is OCLP 1.4.3 fixed this problem? I have ATI Radeon 5750 1GB graphic card. I just do not want to go with this procedure and be disappointed in the end.
Mr Macintosh Is it safe now to install MacOS Sonoma as I updated it before but messed up with a beta update 2 months ago and then had to reset to normal Big Sur which is native supported version MacBook Pro Late 2013
Is it safe to update it with Settings without USB
Like installing MacOS Sonoma from App store and then isbatll it directly using oclp without USB
Please guide me about latest issues on Sonoma right now 😊
OCP 1.4.3 doesn’t work for me on macos 14.4.1 (Macbook pro 13'' early 2015) please help @Mr.Macintosh🙏🏾
Same issue with me, were you able to get this fixed?

OC 1.4.3 MacBook 2017, my wifi is broken, OC loops on a patching freezy and no WiFI, already remove Wifi etc.
MacBook Air 3,2 I think, running v14.2 and was waiting for the fixes for 14.4. The only issue is that a) 4GB is not enough, and b) the calculator app doesn't work (always prints "Not a Number" on any calculation). I have updated to OCP 1.4.3 and will build my boot USB for booting v14.4.1.
My biggest question is whether I can let the OS update itself or if I need to initiate an install from booting up the install USB drive.
I'm running Big Sur on a mid-2014 iMac but the computer is very slow.
Gave up on the constant battle to keep up and some things not working, bought a new 16" MacBook Pro and 27" monitor instead, ahh the relief.
Running Monterey 12.7.4 with OCLP 1.4.3 patches on my non-metal MacPro, Google stock charts work in Safari and Firefox, but not Chrome. Why?
The big question is, does this mean it's safe to go ahead and upgrade to Sonoma on a 2009 Mac Pro?
You bet! with OCLP 1.4.3 installed you can upgrade or update to Sonoma 14.4.1. IF you need to upgrade from a previous os like Monterey or Ventura you need to create a OCLP Sonoma boot disk. Upgrading through software update is not supported.
Tried several times on Mac book 5,1, and mac book pro 7,1. No go :(
My iMac 2014 keeps randomly freezing… I’m not sure if it’s a hardware or software problem 🤨
Hi,
Is the hibernation issue fixed in the latest update? Or is the mac still randomly shutting down a while after the lid is closed?
I’m my late 2011 MBP 13 inch I’m running Ventura but there are issues to use zoom apps properly. There is no way I can make it work with the annotation tools! So I’m using windows in boot camp
Hello, I recently updated my late 2012 MacBook Pro to Big Sur with your tutorial, do you think that I can have a problem updating to Sonoma directly from the settings menu or it’s okay?
I’ve got an iMac mid 2011 running Monterey 12.7.4. Works well expect WiFi drops out occasionally and it isn’t clear to me whether I should try Sonoma or just live with it. Any thoughts.
Hi Mr. Mac! 🙂What about MacBook Pro 5.5 Mid 2009 / Keyboard & Trackpad?? Will there be an Update?? When I upgrade nothing works.... Got a clue? I think the journey with my Mac is coming to an end at the end of the year (Monterey)....? Well... Found an Info on Github. No way at the moment. Let's wait for a solution! By the way...... A Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad is possible? Thanks mate!
It seems that the OCLP 1.4.3 +MacOS 14.4.1 combination broke the dynamic wallpaper. it's stuck on dark regardless of the selected option (dynamic, light, dark).
Was working correctly on OCLP1.4.2+MacOS 14.4.
MBP 13" Mid2014
I'm guessing reverting back to OCLP 1.4.2 is not worth the hassle?
I have a 2012 macbook air, I did the update and now my screen goes black. If I am not using my touch pad or keyboard. It’s very odd. Its a little a little slower than what I’d like, its at the end of its life for sure.
My iMac 14.3 (23D56) doesn't update to 14.4.1, it stays on the Install MacOs screen and just keeps restarting, the update size is just over 2GB but it won't
Just to get things straight, does this mean that we can install Ventura and Sonoma on non-metal macs like a 2010-11 Macbook Air?
My MacBook Pro 9,2 CPU is almost always around 100% with sonoma and the previous OCP version. Will this OCP version fix that or is the sonoma os just too power hungry? Should I just downgrade back to Ventura and settle for that?
Hello @RyanR3CON Open up activity monitor and sort it by CPU. What process is at the top?
Would be amazing to return CUDA support for 2012-2015 macbook pros.
Imac 2013 with i7 27" running Sonoma 14.3 with olcp 1.4.1. Updated olcp to 1.4.3, installed to efi, updated root patches, reboot. Now stuck on boot screen, progress bar at 25%. Suggestions?
15:31 Late 2017? Did you misspeak here?
