Hi Jessie. I have a MacBook Air 2012, working macOS Big Sur and Windows 11 24H2. Performance is very good from a hardware vintage. Thank you. Video is amazing.
@@webg3brasil mine’s also 2012 air (4gb ram) with macos monterey. Works good, but some apps stutters alot like Musics app and sometimes the trackpad got unresponsive and I have to shutdown using the keyboard. If the trackpad problem is resolved, then the macbook air 2012 would be perfect (almost)
Thanks for taking the time to test and share! When presenting the benchmark results, it would be more effective to show the actual results on screen while you talk, rather than showing shots of you and the Macs.
Hi Jessie, had the same problem with my beloved trash can (nuclear reactor for some of us) running Chrome. After at least one hour of digging the net, I found the solution - disable the hardware acceleration in Chrome, Settings, System and relaunch Chrome. My workaround was to install Chrome Canary (it's working somehow), open the Settings - System, then open the normal Chrome, and blindly open the same Settings, System and finally click (blindly again, but you can see the cursor changing) disable and relaunch. I had to make both windows exactly the same size on the screen, for "precision". Maybe is not the best solution, but it worked for me and I'm very happy with Chrome, as before. Didn't try to re-enable the hardware acceleration, might be working again(???). And for everybody's info, my D700s are feeling very well! Even when running games in Bootcamp. Thank you so much for all your effort in helping us with our old Apple stuff.
Great Job and many thanks for testing and sharing your Knowledge with us. I will not update from 15.0 to 15.0.1 because there is no benefit. Waiting for the next release and - that’s for sure- update after your advise. Dankeschön!!
The cheesegrater cold boot time is hugely affected by the amount of RAM! When I cranked mine up to 96gb from (16?) the time shot through the roof. Everything after that is awesome though.
Hi there ! You might wanna try different sticks at different places, my 2010 dual cpu was doing the same thing, I swap some sticks around and it boots (on nvme) quite fast now. cheers
@@williamlafrance2514 - I'm running 3 in each side (dual Xeons), and pretty sure I stacked them in the right order. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it takes a LONG time to boot. Just that it takes LONGER to boot from when I only 16g's, so that factors in.
After a mistake with Ventura (stable and efficient), I had to reinstall the operating system using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.2. I thought Sequoia might work on my Mac Pro 6,1 (Trash) - 3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 - AMD FirePro D500 3 GB - 64 GB RAM. After a clean installation without issues, I followed the instructions up to the post-install root patch. The Mac seemed to function well, at least for the first reboot. I also installed some utilities and enjoyed exploring new features. Everything seemed stable. However, on the next reboot, after a few minutes, the Mac would freeze, displaying the spinning globe cursor until it completely locked up. After several attempts, where the same problem occurred (stable during installation but crashing in subsequent reboots), I tried installing Sonoma, but the result was the same.
The 2013 and 2014 MBAs works just fine when they have 8GB of ram... the i7 versions handle many tasks faster than 2015 13" MBPs because it pushes way less pixels with the non-retina display. That said the i5 versions are significantly more sluggish than the i7s. Another thing to remember is that the SSDs in the air are slower and there is a difference from 2013 to 2015, so for testing how they compare properly, you need to upgrade the air SSDs. An i7 MBA 2013 with a fast 4K NVME ssd can boot Sequoia to the login screen in less than 50 seconds.
Oclp Ventura with the new Safari works really well on my Mac mini 2014 . As the 4gb ram is soldered in , it struggles with anything newer , but thats Ok .
MBA i7 6,2 8GB updating to Sequoia now, I'm hoping the additional 4gb and I7 might provide a slightly better experience than the i5, let's see. Thanks so much for your testing and presentation. It's really helpful. 👍
Issue with the Chrome is from OCLP 2.0.2. I'm still on Sonoma and after OCLP update I got the problem with Brave and Chrome you've described in the video. Hope they gonna fix it in the next update.
Running Sequoia 15.0.1 on a Late 2014 Mac mini 2.6 GHz. i5 16 gb ram, 500 gb SSD, no problems as far as I can see all is working well, CPU is running a little hot so installed fan control.
Only semi related to the topic (but that's never stopped anyone else before!) - Have you noticed that Fusion has stated that after March 2025, it will no longer work on essentially any of our OCLP machines?! Paraphrasing: If Mac OS didn't come out for your hardware, we won't let you run it. 🤨🤬
The 2013 trashcan mac pro had the Chrome issue since Sonoma 14.6 I think. It does freeze but is not totally unusable. I usually have to quit all the chrome processes and wait a bit to get Chrome to work. The graphics acceleration setting in Chrome doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Once I have it working I make sure not to quit HAHA
...and me again ;) Jessie, I downloaded the 15.0.1 installer as well as the new matching(!) metallib package, which I installed first. After updating to Sequoia 15.0.1. I patched with OCLP 2.0.2 but it seemed to still use the metallib package for 15.0. So I deleted that from the Dortania directory and patched again. This time it used the correct and only one available on my machine. I wonder whether this was the correct procedure and if you can please tell us something about this next time i.e. if and when to delete the previous metallib packge, etc. Thank you so much for you extraordinary efforts.
12:49 I had the same issue with macOS Sonoma on a 2013 Mac Pro, what happened is when I launched the app for the 1st time nothing happened, I used it like normal, and after I closed the app and turned off the Mac Pro it started to glitch like that, I couldn’t force quit the system at all so the best way I could get out is a force shutdown
As you indicated, my MacBook Pro 2009 (5,2) is pretty much stuck at Ventura. Beyond the graphics and app issues you highlighted, the external keyboard and mouse trick doesn’t seem to work on this old machine.
Hi Jessie - an fantastic good video full of information !!! My solution with my iMac 2017: I places a Crusial 4TB SSD EXTERN as the "system SSD" an the iMac works faster in all points. Hope to see mor... 👍👍👍👍👍 from ""a German fanboy"
Hi Jessie, It just so happens that I spent the last two days with your videos. In fact, for 1.5ys I run smoothly and efficiently Big Sur on a macbook pro 6,2 15" mi-2010 intel core i7 2,66GHz 8Gb ram with intel HD graphic and nvidia gt-330m gpu. I know from you the non-metal issue but I wanted to try again with Sequoia and also Sonoma with OCLP latest version. Why not😅Unfortunately I have never even been able to test it as it is impossible to reach the desktop without repetitive crashes after installation. I tried all your tips and the only way to reach the desktop was to follow your instructions with your terminal commands "mount -uw …bless…-last-sealed-snapshot etc.". But even after the DKP installation etc. No improvement. I assume there is a link with some features inside the OCLP that doesn’t work with this model😢. Do you think there would be in the future a robust solution for all the old macbook pro pre-2012 with non metal graphic cards to run at least ventura or sonoma? Thx
@JessiesFlying: Can you include the macbook 12" 2016 or 2015 models 8,1 and 9,1 n your testing for Sonoma please ?. To share my experience, I was successful in upgrading all MBA 2015 to Sequoia so 100%. But I have a lot of problems upgrading to Sequoia from Same Os 14.7 in half of Macbooks 2016, 9,1 so only 50% successful with lastest OCLP 2.0.2 in Macbooks 2016. Even after so many ways of trouble shooting, Among Macbooks, the worst is Macbook 2015 had to restore to El Capitan to get normal function of Macbook 12". Macbook 2015 is the worst to upgrade to Sequoia, it was in 14.7 but I had to restore to 11.10 which is El Capitan. The thing is MBA doesn't have ethernet but they can be upgraded to 15.0 from 14.7 using OCLP 2.0.2. Macbooks has ethernet connected via adapter to USB-C and I have downloaded correct KDK and metallib versions but they couldn't save the macbook to upgrade to 15.0. Can you give me a possible reason please if you can figure it out. I have it upgraded to Big Sur after restoring to El Capitan which is the original Os when I bought the macbook and it has stock metal GPU from apple and it is eligible for support by OCLP per dorotonia website. May be a poor luck or because of slow mobile CPU of the macbook ?
Hi Jessie. Can you please do a tutorial on how to clone an OPLC drive to a new drive? Of course I can easily install OCLP on a new drive but i want to switch my ssd pci boot to an nvme pci boot drive and copy all my working files and programs. For example, I don’t want to have to reinstall MS Office or recreate all my preferences and safari bookmarks. Thank so much if you can do this for us. There are many people who want to do this clone process and there is no info on it.
Looks like newest version of Chrome is not working on Open Core patched Ventura on Mac Pro 2013 either; nor does the newest Brave Work. So it is a Chromium issue
With Sequoia (15.0 and 15.0.1) the only glitch I have on my 14,2 Mac (27" late 2013 - OCLP 2.0.2) is that "objects" such as Airtags in the Find My App don't get updated at all (devices and people work). On my iPhone (iOS 18.0.1) all fine. Jessi, do you have same issue on your 2013 MacBook Air? Impossible to say for me is this is a MacOS or OCLP issue...
The Macbook Pro 2013 cannot play UA-cam DRM videos on safari; in chrome the image stays black under the default windows size, the video is plays well in full screen including DRMs. Preview is super lagging when opening PDFs. Interestingly, Windows 11 works perfectly fine on these old Macs. Also, Windows worked better on these macs ever since Bootcamp was a thing (volume control over mini-port).
A while ago, I tried twice to install Sonoma on my iMac 2017 5K with Ventura. I installed an internal SSD, so with merged NVME is 1.03TB, and as you said no wifi. I did the reinstall root patcher. Nothing worked. Wiped drive I am running latest Ventura. A bit scared to try again.
Hi, I upgraded my Sonoma to Sequoia on my Macpro 2012 5,1 it's heavy and slow, i try it for few days, I think the reason every year we apdate we need GPU so i think AMD 580-590 it's become slow for new tech resolution, I don't understand why the OCLP does not update the GPU drive so we can use the new AMD 6900 or 7900 !!!!! now i go back with Sonoma much better and faster.
@@binomair9326Drivers for newer gpu in macos 13 or later requires AVX2 capable cpu which the mac pro does not support, it is a hardware limitation ,not fixable.
I’ve got macOS Sequoia on my computer a 2017 MacBook Air, the only issue is it doesn’t like my USB C cable for my iPhone I’m connecting it via an adapter
Hi Jesse. Love your show. I installed Sequoia 15.0.1 on external NVME 27inch iMac, all is fine except must always loggin after screen saver. Apple tech says it's because the external SSD? This isn't live threatening but annoying, any ideas?
Thank you for this video, the think is I have macbookpro 2015 but 8Gb and i5 processor. It is not the same you use in this test, do you think it is OK? Less ram, less processor.....
I updated my unsupported imac 27' and mbp 2012 from ventura to sonoma & even tried sequoia... And what a mistake!!!! ..... Issues with WiFi, Bluetooth and sluggishness..... I have to painstakingly install it back to ventura.... Never again
You dont need to test because we already know that once you update your old mac it will surely slow down so that you may buy a new one. Good for business. My desktop pc no slow down since windows 11 started. Save your money and buy a pc.
Omg I had a Mac mini and updated 2.0.2 and it literally froze the whole computer so tryed to delete off ssd now I don’t know how to fix it with regular Mac OS 🙄
I am finding after some time with sequoia that my mbp retina mid 2012/ early 2013 is a little slower with sequoia. It’s 16GB with sata not nvme. It’s useable but i am thinking sonoma or lower maybe better for me.
Did you test being able to play Apple purchased movies in the TV app with an external monitor attached on mid 2015 15" MBP?.. I'm guessing not.. Try it. It won't work!. I'm guessing no model works..
Hi Jessie, what update do you recommend for iMac 13,1 with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD (rest standard) specs? I updated to Sonoma, but after a week it started freezing so I turned back to Catalina (the last supported OS). Thanks in advance.
Hi! I have an iMac 27" from 2015 Fusion Drive 1TB (120GB SSD) with 24GB of RAM and 4GB Skylake Video. I would like to know if macOS Sequoia works 100%, including all native apps. Thank you!
Hello, what can you tell me about the Mac Mini 2014, I have a friend who has not been able to install Sequoia is frizzy when he is installing the Root Patcher
I find that the iPhone Mirroring app that came with Sequioa will not work on unsupported iMac 2017 running on OCLP 2.02. It appears the app requires M1 processor or higher.
I have a question, I have a 2015 Macbook Air with 4GB of ram would you tell me which OCLP Mac OS you think would be best to use on it, I have the last supported Mac OS Monterey running on it now. I had OCLP Mac OS Sonoma running on it at one time but it just seem to run so slow. So I am asking you what should I do leave Montery or try OCLP again?
Jessie: I have difficulty updating 2012 iMac to 15.0.1 from 15.0. Update is very difficult to brought up and when it appears I cannot update by clicking the update button. Any thoughts or similar experience ? I have the issue with iMac 2011 with upgrded metal GPU 4GB and I cannot update to 15.0.1 yet for several days. Any advice to stay or update from 15.0 ?. Also MBP 13,3 15" is having battery issues when I tries to update to 15.0.1. Any possibility of buying a new battery and DIY replacement. Battery cycle is less than 150 but I think the MBP is showing

Hello Jessie, I am already with 15.0 Sequoia on Macbook pro 2015, 12,1", as with open core 2.0.2 is it possible to update without creating an installation file and on an external drive?

I updated my unsupported imac 27' and mbp 2012 from ventura to sonoma & even tried sequoia... And what a mistake!!!! ..... Issues with WiFi, Bluetooth and sluggishness..... I have to painstakingly install it back to ventura.... Never again
You dont need to test because we already know that once you update your old mac it will surely slow down so that you may buy a new one. Good for business. My desktop pc no slow down since windows 11 started. Save your money and buy a pc.
Omg I had a Mac mini and updated 2.0.2 and it literally froze the whole computer so tryed to delete off ssd now I don’t know how to fix it with regular Mac OS 🙄
no mac mini on display so im guessing they not suported
I am getting no sound in your video. not sure why.
i tried 15 on mb air 2011 and it kept crashing the desktop...i had to go back to sonoma
I am finding after some time with sequoia that my mbp retina mid 2012/ early 2013 is a little slower with sequoia. It’s 16GB with sata not nvme. It’s useable but i am thinking sonoma or lower maybe better for me.
Is not all unsupported devices because there is no 2010 MacBook and older
Did you test being able to play Apple purchased movies in the TV app with an external monitor attached on mid 2015 15" MBP?.. I'm guessing not.. Try it. It won't work!. I'm guessing no model works..
Hi Jessie, what update do you recommend for iMac 13,1 with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD (rest standard) specs? I updated to Sonoma, but after a week it started freezing so I turned back to Catalina (the last supported OS). Thanks in advance.
Hi! I have an iMac 27" from 2015 Fusion Drive 1TB (120GB SSD) with 24GB of RAM and 4GB Skylake Video. I would like to know if macOS Sequoia works 100%, including all native apps. Thank you!
Hello, what can you tell me about the Mac Mini 2014, I have a friend who has not been able to install Sequoia is frizzy when he is installing the Root Patcher
My 4,1 Mac Pro can’t be upgraded to 5,1. Whats the best OS for this computer ?
Any idea why I have to restart MacBook Pro mid 2014 more than twice sometimes tree times ? Sequoia
I find that the iPhone Mirroring app that came with Sequioa will not work on unsupported iMac 2017 running on OCLP 2.02. It appears the app requires M1 processor or higher.

I have a question, I have a 2015 Macbook Air with 4GB of ram would you tell me which OCLP Mac OS you think would be best to use on it, I have the last supported Mac OS Monterey running on it now. I had OCLP Mac OS Sonoma running on it at one time but it just seem to run so slow. So I am asking you what should I do leave Montery or try OCLP again?
Does the current Version of Final Cut Pro work reliably on the trashcan Mac Pro with macOS Sequoia? Or is the program crashing or having other issues?
Jessie: I have difficulty updating 2012 iMac to 15.0.1 from 15.0. Update is very difficult to brought up and when it appears I cannot update by clicking the update button. Any thoughts or similar experience ? I have the issue with iMac 2011 with upgrded metal GPU 4GB and I cannot update to 15.0.1 yet for several days. Any advice to stay or update from 15.0 ?. Also MBP 13,3 15" is having battery issues when I tries to update to 15.0.1. Any possibility of buying a new battery and DIY replacement. Battery cycle is less than 150 but I think the MBP is showing
Hi Jessie , I have Macbook Air 2015. and I installed Sequoia, I'm not the happiest , and double efi icons appeared at the start (macintosh and windows) , also when I switch to bootcamp I have double icons (mecintosh and windows) , then I click on the desired one, it gives me two again (macintosh and windows ) and I have to choose again, I've never had that and I don't have it on the Macbook Pro 2012 ( Sequoia ) , I don't know how to solve it, I can send you a video, pictures if you want? Is it ok to return it to Sonoma?
@@srdjanjovanovic2524 returning would mean to wipe the hard disk… then you could also try to make a clean install of sequoia
@@JessiesFlying I had a problem with bootcamp installation in sequoia, I solved it by installing sonoma and doing the upgrade. It's not a problem for me to pass the same, I'm wondering if my M.Air 2015 ( ram 8gb ) might work better on sonoma, it slowed me down a bit on sequoia.
@@srdjanjovanovic2524 I had the feeling that Sonia was a little snappier on my MacBook Air (4GB) so that might be the case
so as ive seen in real life if you dont care about the latest crap the machine runs perfectly
