Tremendous work with so many different Macs. Many thanks for your excellent instructions. Great work!!. My IMac end 2015 and MBP mid 2015 flawlessly updated with the only issue of WIFI connectivity as mentioned. Easily solved. After installation I deleted many old KDKs versions in my application folder (developer) to save disk capacity. I only stored the actual and the version before. Looking forward to the next video, thanks again.
Hey, Mr. Mac! So pleased about your super in depth video here!! I am one of those 'gonna wait' folks, as I have a mid year 2011 imac. Interestingly, though, I had many of the problems listed for your test macs, just in upgrading to 14.3.1. No menu bar, no apps turning on, etc. It was a right mess. Wound up having to do the update to 14.3.1 with USB and that was still iffy. Required several NVRAM resets and manual root patching to get everything up and running. SO yeah, waiting on the hopeful arrival of OCLP update for non-metal MACs for use with 14.4 Many thanks again for the great detailed update videos! And OLCP for all the amazing work allowing so many of us to be able to keep using great old machines that are still kickin'!!
I have been unable to update over High Sierra on my 2011 imac 12,2...I tried Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma. Every time during the install and it reboots to continue the install it get's to 25 minutes left and then a screen pops up that says "An error occurred preparing that software update" (Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma). If anyone sees this and has some info or feedback, it would be greatly appreciated!
@@user-wh6ds2ck7z I don't know what you have on your mac. My mac had been wiped before. I reinstalled High Sierra (had all personal data saved on a back up external SSD) . I then partitioned the HD and kept the original High Sierra in the smaller partition. From there created the USB installer, as per previous Mr. Mac or Jerry Flying videos using OCLP downloaded onto the High Sierra partition. Then installing newer OS from USB installer onto the fresh new partition. Everything works well this way. Ventura is really the best performer for the mid year 2011 imac! and you should opt for the less new version, as per this video, the newest version of Ventura will have problems on old MACs. You will need a clean drive though. (at least a clean partition!) You can always add back your fav apps and data later from external backups...
@@lebluedragon3 thanks for the response. Yea everything was freshly installed. I wiped everything and put on High Sierra to use as a jumping off point but to no avail…I’m traveling now but when I get back I’ll keep at it
@@user-wh6ds2ck7z: I had the exact same problem with the exact same message appearing during the installation process. I finally decided to plug my old original Samsung 2x2Gb RAM sticks instead of the 2x4Gb « no name » sticks I had installed years ago as an upgrade. Thanks to this, I managed to install Ventura on my mid-2009 MBP 5,5. Then after install was complete, I plugged back my 2x4Gb sticks. Everything works fine ! I may do this swap every time I decide to install a big OS update. Hope it will help…
It truly AMAZES me how the OCP team does such a GREAT job in creating support for our older Mac products on Apples "latest and greatest"! As well as you, Mr. Macintosh with you in-depth and informative videos to lead us through the "Forbidden Garden" that is what most of us hope to keep doing with our favorite Mac products. My late 2012 went through the latest update without a hitch as usual with your videos. Thanks to all involved for this unbelievable work!!
Updated to OCLP 1.4.1 (from 1.3.0) on my iMac 10.1 (late 2009) running Sonoma 14.3, Great news - my legacy Bluetooth is now finally working - great job team :D
Hej, I just updated my MacBook Pro 10.2 (Retine 13 '' early 2013) to Sonoma 14.4 via System setting and for safety sake with LAN connection. Before updated OCLP 104.1; everything worked fine with my machine. Thank you Mr. Macintosh for this excellent video.
Mr. Macintosh, all the work you do for us to keep our older machines up and running is AMAZING ! Same thing with the OCLP developers. Many thanks to you all guys.
I have a 2012 macmini and a 2017 macbook air. I used OCLP 1.4.0 to upgrade to Sonoma 14.4. The macmini is connected to ethernet. The only problem I had with both is on the final boot I get a black screen. It even tells me I need to install the root patches. Once I do this all is well. I did have the wifi problem on the macbook air. That problem was easily resolved. I have now updated my OCLP to 1.4.1 on both computers with no issues. Thanks for all of the help you have given us.
Just dug out my old benchtop Macbook Pro 7,1 with Catalina, a core 2 duo CPU and 8GB of ram. did an in-place install of Monterey onto it w/ OCLP 1.4.2. ... everything works. Lol this is awesome
I just installed 1.4.1 while watching this on an iMac 2017 27" 5K. Followed through as you said, automated and seamless. Rebooted and everything is fine or better! I'll wait to reinstall the Sonoma update as all is good at this time on 14.3. Thanks so much for your dedication to helping others.
Thanks for the practical deep-dive on everything we need to know about OCLP 1.4.1, the new changes and proactive bug fixes. I have now upgraded successfully a late 2013 iMac, installing first the new OC 1.4.2 and then Sonoma 14.4 via system settings. So far, all is smooth sailing and boot time is faster by 50%. Big thanks, Mr Macintosh
My 2010 Mac Pro has no Internet after updating to the latest version of Monterey. Ethernet ports do not work either. First time it kills my wired connection with macOS update.
Many thanks for this update briefing - I held off with 14.4 until your video dropped! I can confirm success with OCLP 1.4.2 and Sonoma 14.4 when updating our Mid 2015 Retina MBP (11,5), Late 2012 27" iMac (13,2) and Late 2013 27" iMac (14,2). These are all working great! Thanks also to the OCLP team for making this happen 🙂
I installed on my MAcBook Pro 15'' with 10,1 with Opencore 1.4.0 and everything went ok, since then updated to 1.4.1 then to 1.4.2 and everything is working ok! Thank you for your videos! They are amazing and awesome! Keep up the good work!🙂
Macbook mid2012 here and had problems after installing patches. It got stuck on Apple Logo. I had to do the terminal stuff to go back to last sealed. Now i have no wifi cause i cant install the patches. Any solution?
I updated my mid 2012 MBP to Sonoma and it will turn on randomly from sleep, and stay on with black screenwhile lid closed or open, permanent sleep light, with fan on full speed. So I had to reinstall Ventura with oclp ands now it's normal. Lol.
After not paying attention to the instructions and installing Sonoma 14.4 in a iMac 10.1, after several days with the problems mentioned in here, today after the first failed enter into my account, the second time everything worked as expected and the only thing that still does not work is the WiFi (not a problem for me). I will maintain the computer on as I’m afraid that after restarting the problems reappear. Thank you all those involved in providing us, old mac users, to update our computers.
@@jiceel33 I already installed Opencore 1.4.2, but I think it only solves WiFi problems for Ventura and Monterey. And my computer has a LAN network connection that works even in Opencore 1.4.1.
I have a 2017 27" iMac 5K. I updated OCLP to 1.4.0 then upgraded to macOS 14.4. I then upgraded to OCLP 1.4.1. I then lost my WiFi all together. I could not connect through all available wifi options to us. I forgot all wifi connections and tried to reconnect and nothing. I did a NVRAM reset and nothing. I then uninstalled the post install patches, reinstalled the boot patches and reinstalled the post install patches with reboots in between each step. The wifi came back and is all well. My 2012 MacBook Pro is working great. My 2012 iMac is doing great - full production. I have a 2011 iMac with a Kepler M2100 GPU and that is working great. Finally, my 2012 MacMini is doing great. Thank you for the detailed explanation of the two OCLP updates. Looking forward to getting my 2007 20" iMac up to date! You guys rock! You are my only source for OCLP information.
Just upgraded my 2010 iMac with the Kepler K2100M and upgraded WiFi and it’s working very well. OCLP 1.4.1 and then macOS 14.4 - all with the OCLP automatic pop-ups.
Just installed Big Sur on my 14 year old unibody macbook 2010 with 8gb ram. A bit slower compared to older os versions but everything works! Not an issue since I can run apps faster with tmpdisk.
Sadly no early workaround to the Wifi issue. As I mentioned in the comments of your earier video, this is not a big deal for me as I have at least as many older Macs as you have ;-) so one of my four MacBook5,2 right now has no Wifi. But I need to say, that it also gets no useful Ethernet connection - but this I once more have to double check, as I had some Wifi issues with my whole in-house-Setup. Anyway, great and long video, step by step covering every possible situation. Thank you for the great job of testing it all out!
NO NO NO! GUYS wehave to give it up to this Gentleman. he stays on top of things and keeps us up to date also he is quick with dropping the fixes and videos. THANK YOU MR. MACINTOSH
I updated my iMac 27inch mid 2011, with upgraded wifi/bluetooth from OSX Wifi and upgraded metal card works with OCLP 1.4.1, with Mac os Sonoma 14.4 with no issues
Successfully installed Sonoma on my macbook air 2015 i5 and everything working smoothly with oclp 1.4.1. Very very thanks for that 🎉 ….but some of the sonoma features are not working …. Like the personal voice feature, universal control, facetime new features where screen sharing appears behind the subject any solution for that anyone?
you know the one thing that always irritated me is the lack of the apple logo on boot lol, I don't know why but it bothers me so much , I love everything you and the OCLP community do! thanks for all the hard work xxx
Hey, I miss read the update and I thought it said Mac’s from 2008-2012 should update but obviously I soon realised it said 2008-2011 and now I can’t get into my Mac. I put in my password and all that pops up is my Apple ID picture and a line underneath it and the line loads to a certain point and won’t go any further. If anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know. Thanks
Great work, as always! Thank you for all the hard work. I still have only one problem. My 2Qute DAC via USB doesn't automatically connects/is been seen after a restart. I always, after a restart, need to take the USB cable out and in again. Then it works fine. Minor inconvenience. But I have my mini as a music server on HD music. Well, you can't have it all, I reckon.
Wonderful and very complax video. Congratulations! After updating from Catalina on mid-2012 Macbook Pro to Ventura, I have a problem with the OCLP 1.5.0 which I used to install Ventura. Post Install Menu Patches available for my system show that: Graphics: NVidia Kepler and Graphics: Intel Ivy Bridge must be patched so the system can run programs such as iMovie and FCP X. After I started Root Patching, the OCLP patched it and advise to reboot the laptop to apply the patches. When I do a reboot/restart, the OCLP comes up telling me that patches still need to be installed and so forth. I really don't know what and how to do to overcome these issues and regain functionality of these two video editors: "Graphics configuration not supported. This graphics configuration does not support hardware acceleration, which is required to run Final Cut Pro." I tried installing filmora and other video editors, but the videos will not play in the preview window. Any advice you can provide? Thanks and continue your wonderful work! Bojan
First-timer and thanks for the helpful guide. Everything's working after updating Big Sur to Sonoma 14.4, but I'm confused on what Sonoma's Automatic Update settings should be (System Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates). There are five options with toggle buttons: 1. Check for updates (I toggled on) 2. Download new updates when available (I toggled on) 3. Install macOS updates (I toggled off) 4. Install application updates from the App Store (I toggled off) 5. Install Security Responses and system files (I toggled off) In summary, I only enabled the first two options. Do you recommend different settings? I have a MacBook Air 13-inch, Mid 2013 model. Again, thank you. Subbed and you'll be the first channel I visit when the next macOS update arrives.
Got it working now. Thanks. Had to delete the networks 3 times. Probably too many machines turned on & iCloud sync of the Wi-fi settings messing it up 👍🏻@@mercynik2019
I did install 12.7.4 on a Mac Pro with legacy wifi. That was not a problem, since the machine is hard wired. However, I did find that if I installed the root patches, it broke Bluetooth. Reverting the root patches returned Bluetooth functionality.
The Monterey wifi on my non-metal 5.1 pro broke when I tried to update it with 1.4.1 patches. The 1.4.2 patches didn't fix it. Maybe installing the KDK manually would have, but I gave up and installed Ventura on a new volume with 1.4.2, and it's OK. But I prefer Monterey. Please let me know when OCLP builds the correct KDK into the Monterey patches. In any case, this is not a good time to ask me to give them money. Edit: I fixed the wifi in my Monterey. Just had to figure out how to make it forget the preferred wifi network.
Mr Macintosh! As always - wonderful work. Have had the weirdest issue. Have successfully installed Sonoma on a 5,1 MacPro FIVE times. It works beautifully! But doing the migration from High Sierra causes a continuous loop of rebooting. I have Monterey and High Sierra on the other internal drives. The one time I didn't do the migration, Sonoma works great. Then tried the migration and once again continuous reboot. When I finally reboot into Monterey, the only thing in I can see in the Sonoma drive Application folder is an OCLP alias. I finally installed Ventura and had the same result. any suggestions?
I was the initial poster on the Sonoma 14.4 video about Ventura 13.6.5 breaking Wi-Fi. I kinda mentioned this in that comment, but wanted to re-share this bit because I didn’t see you mention this in today’s video: The Menu Bar Clock, Widgets & Control Center are all broken after updating to Ventura 13.6.5; my iMac has an AMD graphics card and I believe something in the 13.6.5 update killed the OCLP patches regarding those graphic features. If you could PLEASE pass that info on to the Devs that would be awesome. Thank you for all of your hard work! 🫶🏾
Hi. I have a late 2011, 13" non metal macbook pro that is currently running Ventura. I have zero tech skills and was only able to upgrade by watching Mr Macintosh's videos. Before I began the process, I also upgraded to 16GB and a 1TB SSD by watching UA-cam tutorials. I just watched this video, and to be honest, I'm not sure I understand. Should I update OCLP now, but wait to update Ventura, or should I wait for the next OCLP update and update both together? Thanks for any advice.
Always great videos from you guys. I do have a problem though. I updated OCLP before I updated Sonoma. All patches were updated. After updating Sonoma I still got the login crash and unusable desktop. Any thoughts?
Hey.I am running Ventura 12.2.1 on a 2021 i7 mac, based on your instructions . Guess there was just too much info in this video :). is there a simpler description of what I need to do to update OS ? thx !
Amazing job with these videos... I have a simple question What would be the quickest OS to run on a 2011 iMac nonmetal doesn't matter if it's older os. Just curious if you notice one of the older the Catalina running quicker than let's save Ventura..
On my stock 5.1 pro, I have High Sierra, Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura. Even without patches, High Sierra is the fastest all around. It won't run current Chrome or Acrobat Reader, and it doesn't have dark mode, but it will run Office for Mac 2011, which won't run on Monterey and higher. Big Sur is slower than HS, Monterey is slower than Big Sur, and Ventura is slower than Monterey. Monterey will run Acrobat Reader, but all the others won't. Ventura takes about 5 minutes to boot, but once it does, it's pretty past, at least using Chrome.
@Mr. Macintosh thanks for this educative extensive video. Had you heard about .png installation issues with oclp with the drivers installed? I have a mid 2012 mac pro cheese crater with Monterey installed. every time i try to install parallels and some other apps, it gives the message: "parallels desktop quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. click report to see more detailed information and send a report to apple." when removing drivers form oclp it let me install the apps and runs but laggy (i think because or gpu drivers). After installation if i do the oclp drivers, it gives the same message again. Any knowledge about this? any fix other than uninstall drivers? Much appreciate.
Thanks for the Video. It worked for me(IMac 17.1) fine with Sonoma 14.4 except that OpenCore delivered 1.4.2 and if I even install OpenCoreLagacyPatcher 1.4.2 and do rootpatch etc. after reboot an relaunch OpenCoreLegacy Patcher it Offers me wgain that a new Version(1.4.2) is available to download. Because my OCLP version stays still at 1.4.1. And I get a Popup telling that OCLP that I am booting up on an outdated OpenCore Build Booted 1.4.1 Installed 1.4.2
Hey Mr Mac, I made a mistake and upgraded my mac 2015 from venture to sonoma before downloading the new oclp and now after upgrading I’ve got no WiFi and graphics are huge seems like meant for a bigger screen
thanks! I have a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina (A1398) with Monterey installed via OpenCore Legacy. I'm wondering if it's advisable to do this upgrade since it's a non-metal MacBook?
It's neat that you can do this, But the OS isn't the only thing that has to run on a computer. I ran into a problem where the software was crashing because it was expecting an instruction that wasn't on my 2010 CPU. Every machine that Apple supports with Monterey also has that instruction, so apparently the programmer didn't do an independent CPU check. The same thing just happened with the Popcnt instruction that MS is making mandatory in the next Windows update. Time is marching on.
No Wifi Security pref panel error MacBook 5.2 Monterey 12.7.4. is the problem and it does not require metal or KDK downloads. This is why threw my G5 off the balcony and went back to oil painting
i reverted the root patch done by OCLP 0.6.8, the Post install root patch can not be applied successfully on OCLP 1.4.1, then i installed the OCLP 0.6.8 again and apply root patch. Therefore, I can not update the OCLP update successfully on my Mac pro 5,1 running OSX version 13.4
I’ve had the latest open core update on Mac 2010 with metal card (sapphire). But it’s stuck on boot screen now… I only updated Opencore and it’s root patches, I was not trying any OS update, as I’m keeping Monterey and disabled auto updates.. I tried the solutions online via selecting efi recovery and using Terminal to revert the snapshot, but the error message comes up “Cannot determine mount point”. Anything else I can do? I have a Time Machine backup and essential files backed up however I’m seeing contradictory information online regarding using that to recover my programmes etc. or if it will even stop the problem or not.. Hope someone can help 😊
Hey, I have experienced laggy Mission Control on my Mid MBP Pro 2014 Retina during photoshop,illustrator & aftereffects, Please let me know how to overcome with this issue. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this. It was very easy to follow but I am still having a problem with my 2012 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro. There is no sound and in the preferences, it only shows as a digital out on my system which is running Ventura. Sound works great when I boot into Windows 11 so I have no idea why I always have no sound on Mac OS. I hope you might be able to help.
Thank you for another great video. My iMac 11,3 from 2010 have been running Sonoma 14.3.1 without any issues (GPU has been changed to metal). It has the original HDD as well as a SSD drive installed. I am running Ventura on the original HHD and Sonoma on the SSD. Every time I upgrade, I run into the same problem for both drives. I can install and boot into safe mode and do the build and install OCLP (1.4.1) as well as doing to patches. When then rebooting it gets stuck at the classical 1/3 bar. I have tried reset VRAM several times, restarted several times, but so far no luck. Is there any tip for solving the issue?
Hi, the macos installer download option of the OCLP software 1.4.2 is not working right. On my macbook pro 2017 it shows insufficient space warning, but that is not the case.
Mr Mac man why does my mbp 2010 on Ventura not boot into anything except a black screen with mouse and trackpad icons with a frozen pointer in the top left I can’t get no help,IVE got 8 gig ram and it has no issues and is on high sierra I can’t use my Daws I desperately need help please help
Hi thanks for the video. I still have the same problem. Cannot connect to the AppStore. iMac late 2013 and on the latest version of OCLP. Had this problem since Updating Sonoma. Any idea?
PLEEEEEZE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT,MY MBP 13 inch 7;1 ,8 gig ram will not install any version of Ventura or Sonoma, all I see is a mouse and trackpad thing,I have been trying for weeks but it won’t boot into Ventura or Sonoma HOW DO I FIX THE MOUSE AND TRACKPAD BLACK SCREEN? HELP PLEASE 🙏
Hi Mr Macintosh, I updated OP to 1.4.2, and then downloaded to OS Mac 14.4, after the laptop restarted the computer froze and I could not use the mouse, I restated my Macbook Pro 2016, but it was still frozen, can you help? Thank you
Greetings. I have found an issue with (my two) Mac Pro 5,1 running Monterey 12.7.4 and OCLP 1.4.1 the root patches it wants to install (legacy WiFi), but neither has a WiFi card, the ethernet interfaces say the cable is disconnected, but they aren't and the switch interfaces is active/ connected, removing the post install root patches fixes the ethernet issue. No such issues on my MacBookPro 2012.
Hi Mr. Mac, any news about Sonoma 14.4.1 using patch core 1.4.2 MackBook Pro 8,1. Sonoma 14.4 kills completely my machine that are completely fully functional with 14.3.1. When I saw the advices ... was extremely late. Thanks
Hi, I upgraded with OCLP Sonoma 14.4.1 before I knew about the need to install the 1.4.2 patcher, and now I cannot get on wifi. Can uninstall and can I go back to BigSur or can I find a way to load OCLP patch 1.4.2. without wifi? thanks for any assistance.
So when you say install OCLP 1.4.1 before the update, you mean just install the application, not the patches because the update will wipe all patches anyway, right?
Can you please help me Mr M with why mu mid 2010 MacBook Pro 💻,8 gig ram it won’t boot into any version of Ventura or sonoma ,I DESPERATELY NEED HELP ,PLEASE HELP WITH THIS OCLPATCHER ITS NOT WORKING & I’ve updated OCLP to 1-4-2 but I have not tried it PLEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU YOU ALL I BOOT INTO IS A BLCK SCREEN WITH A FROZEN ARROW ON TOP LEFT CORNER AND A OUTLINE OF A MOUSE AND TRACKPAD THAT I HAVE NEVER USED USB OR BLUETOOTH MOUSE OR TRACKPAD USING O.C.LPATCHER PLEASE HELP ❤
I just am wondering if there are any plans or thoughts for the inevitable obsoleted Apple Silicon computers coming in the future as the Intel machines fade away.
macOS 14.4 does run pretty well for me on my 2015 13' MBP. The boot times are actually a lot faster on 14.4 compared to 14.3.1 and earlier on there. Of course, right after I updated to the betas, I noticed my keyboard and trackpad weren't working which quickly got fixed, as well as having to forget and reconnect to a wifi network to auto-join it. I also noticed (and this is still present btw) that unlocking with my Apple Watch doesn't work in 14.4, requiring me to enter my password to log in.
UPDATE: With OCLP 1.4.2n and PSP 1.4.8, they’ve been able to resolve auto-join, and I’m happy to report that unlocking my MacBook with my Apple Watch also works again as well with 1.4.2.
Tremendous work with so many different Macs. Many thanks for your excellent instructions. Great work!!.

Thanks also to the OCLP team for making this happen 🙂
watching on my Macbook Pro mid 2012 , 14,4 sonoma with opencore 1.4.1 thank you, Maacbook air 2013 okay as well
thx bro, gonna update my retina 2012 then
I installed on my MAcBook Pro 15'' with 10,1 with Opencore 1.4.0 and everything went ok, since then updated to 1.4.1 then to 1.4.2 and everything is working ok!
Thank you for your videos! They are amazing and awesome!
Keep up the good work!🙂
Macbook mid2012 here and had problems after installing patches. It got stuck on Apple Logo. I had to do the terminal stuff to go back to last sealed. Now i have no wifi cause i cant install the patches. Any solution?
OCLP 1.4.2 fixed my network issues on my Mid 2011 27" iMac running Ventura 13.6.5 with K4100M graphics. Thanks OCLP team for working quickly to fix!
How did you fix it
Wonderful explanation (as always), thank you for your dedication and hard work!
I just updated to the OCLP 1.4.2 on my LATE 2011 Macbook Pro and it actually solved the bluetooth issue. THANK YOU
I updated my mid 2012 MBP to Sonoma and it will turn on randomly from sleep, and stay on with black screenwhile lid closed or open, permanent sleep light, with fan on full speed. So I had to reinstall Ventura with oclp ands now it's normal. Lol.
After not paying attention to the instructions and installing Sonoma 14.4 in a iMac 10.1, after several days with the problems mentioned in here, today after the first failed enter into my account, the second time everything worked as expected and the only thing that still does not work is the WiFi (not a problem for me). I will maintain the computer on as I’m afraid that after restarting the problems reappear. Thank you all those involved in providing us, old mac users, to update our computers.
Update OCLP 1.4.2 fixes some wifi problems.
@@jiceel33 I already installed Opencore 1.4.2, but I think it only solves WiFi problems for Ventura and Monterey. And my computer has a LAN network connection that works even in Opencore 1.4.1.
@@pedromonteiro6043 Ventura, yes. Monterey, no. Edit: figured out how toforget my network in Ventura. Problem solved. Ventura wifi is working.
@@blackandwhitejazz Well I have a MacBook 5.1 with Monterey 12.7.4 installed and with Opencore 1.4.2 the WiFi works.
@@pedromonteiro6043 Nice to know, but it certainly doesn't work on my 5.1 Mac Pro. During the patching, did you notice a KDK download?
I have a 2017 27" iMac 5K. I updated OCLP to 1.4.0 then upgraded to macOS 14.4. I then upgraded to OCLP 1.4.1. I then lost my WiFi all together. I could not connect through all available wifi options to us. I forgot all wifi connections and tried to reconnect and nothing. I did a NVRAM reset and nothing. I then uninstalled the post install patches, reinstalled the boot patches and reinstalled the post install patches with reboots in between each step. The wifi came back and is all well. My 2012 MacBook Pro is working great. My 2012 iMac is doing great - full production. I have a 2011 iMac with a Kepler M2100 GPU and that is working great. Finally, my 2012 MacMini is doing great.
Thank you for the detailed explanation of the two OCLP updates. Looking forward to getting my 2007 20" iMac up to date! You guys rock! You are my only source for OCLP information.
Just upgraded my 2010 iMac with the Kepler K2100M and upgraded WiFi and it’s working very well. OCLP 1.4.1 and then macOS 14.4 - all with the OCLP automatic pop-ups.
Just installed Big Sur on my 14 year old unibody macbook 2010 with 8gb ram. A bit slower compared to older os versions but everything works! Not an issue since I can run apps faster with tmpdisk.
Sadly no early workaround to the Wifi issue. As I mentioned in the comments of your earier video, this is not a big deal for me as I have at least as many older Macs as you have ;-) so one of my four MacBook5,2 right now has no Wifi. But I need to say, that it also gets no useful Ethernet connection - but this I once more have to double check, as I had some Wifi issues with my whole in-house-Setup. Anyway, great and long video, step by step covering every possible situation. Thank you for the great job of testing it all out!
Mr. Mac I appreciate the in depth tutorial. I look forward to all your newest videos. Subscribed.
Well done Mr Mac. You are sooo thorough on these updates. Appreciate what you do!
Macbook pro mid 2014. Only problem my WiFi does not auto connect.
Same here with 13" Retina MBP - mid 2015
@@darrenmahaffy2582 Yeah not really big deal just more of an inconvenience hopefully an easy fix.
NO NO NO! GUYS wehave to give it up to this Gentleman. he stays on top of things and keeps us up to date also he is quick with dropping the fixes and videos. THANK YOU MR. MACINTOSH
Thank you so much @jaestreets751 😀
I updated my iMac 27inch mid 2011, with upgraded wifi/bluetooth from OSX Wifi and upgraded metal card works with OCLP 1.4.1, with Mac os Sonoma 14.4 with no issues
Macbook Pro 13 inch retina mid 2014, no wifi issues here. Everything works perfect.
Successfully installed Sonoma on my macbook air 2015 i5 and everything working smoothly with oclp 1.4.1. Very very thanks for that 🎉 ….but some of the sonoma features are not working …. Like the personal voice feature, universal control, facetime new features where screen sharing appears behind the subject any solution for that anyone?
you know the one thing that always irritated me is the lack of the apple logo on boot lol, I don't know why but it bothers me so much , I love everything you and the OCLP community do! thanks for all the hard work xxx
Excelent work!!!! thank you so much, I want to ask about a deeper explanation about de OCLP and all the functions!!!
OpenCore Patcher 1.4.2 is available downloading now!
Hey, I miss read the update and I thought it said Mac’s from 2008-2012 should update but obviously I soon realised it said 2008-2011 and now I can’t get into my Mac. I put in my password and all that pops up is my Apple ID picture and a line underneath it and the line loads to a certain point and won’t go any further. If anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know.
Thanks
Now my iMac Late 2013 connects automatically to Wifi Now On Sonoma 14.4, Great Thank You Mr. Macintosh
Great work, as always! Thank you for all the hard work.
I still have only one problem. My 2Qute DAC via USB doesn't automatically connects/is been seen after a restart. I always, after a restart, need to take the USB cable out and in again. Then it works fine. Minor inconvenience. But I have my mini as a music server on HD music. Well, you can't have it all, I reckon.
Amazing work Mr. Macintosh. 1.4.1 screwed up my legacy WiFi. I think now there's a fix on it on OCLP 1.4.2, not sure, I haven't tried it.
Wonderful and very complax video. Congratulations! After updating from Catalina on mid-2012 Macbook Pro to Ventura, I have a problem with the OCLP 1.5.0 which I used to install Ventura. Post Install Menu Patches available for my system show that: Graphics: NVidia Kepler and Graphics: Intel Ivy Bridge must be patched so the system can run programs such as iMovie and FCP X. After I started Root Patching, the OCLP patched it and advise to reboot the laptop to apply the patches. When I do a reboot/restart, the OCLP comes up telling me that patches still need to be installed and so forth.
I really don't know what and how to do to overcome these issues and regain functionality of these two video editors: "Graphics configuration not supported. This graphics configuration does not support hardware acceleration, which is required to run Final Cut Pro." I tried installing filmora and other video editors, but the videos will not play in the preview window.
Any advice you can provide? Thanks and continue your wonderful work! Bojan
Thank you. Your vids have helped me keep some old machines going with a purpose. I ran into some issues and sent you a private email. Thank you
First-timer and thanks for the helpful guide. Everything's working after updating Big Sur to Sonoma 14.4, but I'm confused on what Sonoma's Automatic Update settings should be (System Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates). There are five options with toggle buttons:
1. Check for updates (I toggled on)
2. Download new updates when available (I toggled on)
3. Install macOS updates (I toggled off)
4. Install application updates from the App Store (I toggled off)
5. Install Security Responses and system files (I toggled off)
In summary, I only enabled the first two options. Do you recommend different settings? I have a MacBook Air 13-inch, Mid 2013 model.
Again, thank you. Subbed and you'll be the first channel I visit when the next macOS update arrives.
Disable all automatic updates. If not you may run into big trouble when OCLP is not the correct version. App Store updates are OK.
The waiting ended, 1.4.2 is out and fixes (also mine) Wireless issue with 12.7.4 (and probably others).
Thanks for the great video. I would like to know how does it affect (or can) the Apple ID.
Ok so I’ll wait for OCLP 1.4.2 for my MacBook Pro mid-2009 5,5 running on Ventura because of the wifi legacy card patch. Thank you Mr Macintosh !
I have Wi-fi reconnect issues on all my machines after this update. Am I the only one?
Same here
Go to wifi settings and select forget this network for all your saved wifi’s and then reconnect from starting it works for me
Got it working now. Thanks. Had to delete the networks 3 times. Probably too many machines turned on & iCloud sync of the Wi-fi settings messing it up 👍🏻@@mercynik2019
I did install 12.7.4 on a Mac Pro with legacy wifi. That was not a problem, since the machine is hard wired. However, I did find that if I installed the root patches, it broke Bluetooth. Reverting the root patches returned Bluetooth functionality.
The Monterey wifi on my non-metal 5.1 pro broke when I tried to update it with 1.4.1 patches. The 1.4.2 patches didn't fix it. Maybe installing the KDK manually would have, but I gave up and installed Ventura on a new volume with 1.4.2, and it's OK. But I prefer Monterey. Please let me know when OCLP builds the correct KDK into the Monterey patches. In any case, this is not a good time to ask me to give them money. Edit: I fixed the wifi in my Monterey. Just had to figure out how to make it forget the preferred wifi network.
My 2013 mid iMac 21.5, i5 does not work with Unlock with Apple watch when the screen needs to be woken up. In other cases it works.
Mr Macintosh! As always - wonderful work. Have had the weirdest issue. Have successfully installed Sonoma on a 5,1 MacPro FIVE times. It works beautifully! But doing the migration from High Sierra causes a continuous loop of rebooting. I have Monterey and High Sierra on the other internal drives. The one time I didn't do the migration, Sonoma works great. Then tried the migration and once again continuous reboot. When I finally reboot into Monterey, the only thing in I can see in the Sonoma drive Application folder is an OCLP alias. I finally installed Ventura and had the same result. any suggestions?
I was the initial poster on the Sonoma 14.4 video about Ventura 13.6.5 breaking Wi-Fi. I kinda mentioned this in that comment, but wanted to re-share this bit because I didn’t see you mention this in today’s video: The Menu Bar Clock, Widgets & Control Center are all broken after updating to Ventura 13.6.5; my iMac has an AMD graphics card and I believe something in the 13.6.5 update killed the OCLP patches regarding those graphic features. If you could PLEASE pass that info on to the Devs that would be awesome. Thank you for all of your hard work! 🫶🏾
Hi. I have a late 2011, 13" non metal macbook pro that is currently running Ventura. I have zero tech skills and was only able to upgrade by watching Mr Macintosh's videos. Before I began the process, I also upgraded to 16GB and a 1TB SSD by watching UA-cam tutorials. I just watched this video, and to be honest, I'm not sure I understand. Should I update OCLP now, but wait to update Ventura, or should I wait for the next OCLP update and update both together? Thanks for any advice.
i have macos monterey installed on my early 2011 macbook i had no trouble with 1.4.1 after i got update 1.4.2
mid-2015 MBP, upgraded Sonoma 14.2 to 14.4. No issues!
Saw on Reddit, 1.4.2 mentioned as out now.
Always great videos from you guys. I do have a problem though. I updated OCLP before I updated Sonoma. All patches were updated. After updating Sonoma I still got the login crash and unusable desktop. Any thoughts?
Hey.I am running Ventura 12.2.1 on a 2021 i7 mac, based on your instructions . Guess there was just too much info in this video :). is there a simpler description of what I need to do to update OS ? thx !
Amazing job with these videos... I have a simple question What would be the quickest OS to run on a 2011 iMac nonmetal doesn't matter if it's older os. Just curious if you notice one of the older the Catalina running quicker than let's save Ventura..
On my stock 5.1 pro, I have High Sierra, Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura. Even without patches, High Sierra is the fastest all around. It won't run current Chrome or Acrobat Reader, and it doesn't have dark mode, but it will run Office for Mac 2011, which won't run on Monterey and higher. Big Sur is slower than HS, Monterey is slower than Big Sur, and Ventura is slower than Monterey. Monterey will run Acrobat Reader, but all the others won't. Ventura takes about 5 minutes to boot, but once it does, it's pretty past, at least using Chrome.
i have a 2011 macbook pro, whats the highest supported opencore os i can run on it? ventura?
I have the same model as you! Mine runs macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 very great!
@Mr. Macintosh thanks for this educative extensive video. Had you heard about .png installation issues with oclp with the drivers installed? I have a mid 2012 mac pro cheese crater with Monterey installed. every time i try to install parallels and some other apps, it gives the message: "parallels desktop quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. click report to see more detailed information and send a report to apple." when removing drivers form oclp it let me install the apps and runs but laggy (i think because or gpu drivers). After installation if i do the oclp drivers, it gives the same message again. Any knowledge about this? any fix other than uninstall drivers? Much appreciate.
After "forgetting" the WIFI network and reestablishing auto-reconnect upon reboot works. 2017 iMac 5k, 14.4 with 1.4.1.
Thanks for the Video. It worked for me(IMac 17.1) fine with Sonoma 14.4 except that OpenCore delivered 1.4.2 and if I even install OpenCoreLagacyPatcher 1.4.2 and do rootpatch etc. after reboot an relaunch OpenCoreLegacy Patcher it Offers me wgain that a new Version(1.4.2) is available to download. Because my OCLP version stays still at 1.4.1.
And I get a Popup telling that OCLP that I am booting up on an outdated OpenCore Build
Booted 1.4.1
Installed 1.4.2
Thanks!
Thank you for all these valuable informations !
Hey Mr Mac, I made a mistake and upgraded my mac 2015 from venture to sonoma before downloading the new oclp and now after upgrading I’ve got no WiFi and graphics are huge seems like meant for a bigger screen
My late 2013 13" MacBook Pro working fine after updates. Only forget the wifi and connect back.
thanks! I have a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina (A1398) with Monterey installed via OpenCore Legacy. I'm wondering if it's advisable to do this upgrade since it's a non-metal MacBook?
It's neat that you can do this,
But the OS isn't the only thing that has to run on a computer. I ran into a problem where the software was crashing because it was expecting an instruction that wasn't on my 2010 CPU. Every machine that Apple supports with Monterey also has that instruction, so apparently the programmer didn't do an independent CPU check.
The same thing just happened with the Popcnt instruction that MS is making mandatory in the next Windows update. Time is marching on.
Where was this video yesterday 😭
Now I had to wipe my disk clean 😭
Thank God I had a time machine backup
No Wifi Security pref panel error MacBook 5.2 Monterey 12.7.4. is the problem and it does not require metal or KDK downloads. This is why threw my G5 off the balcony and went back to oil painting
i reverted the root patch done by OCLP 0.6.8, the Post install root patch can not be applied successfully on OCLP 1.4.1, then i installed the OCLP 0.6.8 again and apply root patch. Therefore, I can not update the OCLP update successfully on my Mac pro 5,1 running OSX version 13.4
I’ve had the latest open core update on Mac 2010 with metal card (sapphire). But it’s stuck on boot screen now… I only updated Opencore and it’s root patches, I was not trying any OS update, as I’m keeping Monterey and disabled auto updates.. I tried the solutions online via selecting efi recovery and using Terminal to revert the snapshot, but the error message comes up “Cannot determine mount point”. Anything else I can do? I have a Time Machine backup and essential files backed up however I’m seeing contradictory information online regarding using that to recover my programmes etc. or if it will even stop the problem or not.. Hope someone can help 😊
Upgrade to 14.4 Sonoma from Ventura broke my Windows 10 video driver...I suspect it may be a parallels issue ?
Hey, I have experienced laggy Mission Control on my Mid MBP Pro 2014 Retina during photoshop,illustrator & aftereffects, Please let me know how to overcome with this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, I have a Macbook Pro from 2010 where I installed Ventura and I always have an OpenCore cache for the update.
How can we remove this?
Thank you.
THANK YOU! 🙏🙏
It’s the New OS update seemingly Monterey on wards has bricked the wi-fi for everyone. I’m waiting for a fix
Thank you for this. It was very easy to follow but I am still having a problem with my 2012 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro. There is no sound and in the preferences, it only shows as a digital out on my system which is running Ventura. Sound works great when I boot into Windows 11 so I have no idea why I always have no sound on Mac OS. I hope you might be able to help.
Thank you for another great video. My iMac 11,3 from 2010 have been running Sonoma 14.3.1 without any issues (GPU has been changed to metal). It has the original HDD as well as a SSD drive installed. I am running Ventura on the original HHD and Sonoma on the SSD. Every time I upgrade, I run into the same problem for both drives. I can install and boot into safe mode and do the build and install OCLP (1.4.1) as well as doing to patches. When then rebooting it gets stuck at the classical 1/3 bar. I have tried reset VRAM several times, restarted several times, but so far no luck. Is there any tip for solving the issue?

Greetings. I have found an issue with (my two) Mac Pro 5,1 running Monterey 12.7.4 and OCLP 1.4.1 the root patches it wants to install (legacy WiFi), but neither has a WiFi card, the ethernet interfaces say the cable is disconnected, but they aren't and the switch interfaces is active/ connected, removing the post install root patches fixes the ethernet issue. No such issues on my MacBookPro 2012.
Hi Mr. Mac, any news about Sonoma 14.4.1 using patch core 1.4.2 MackBook Pro 8,1. Sonoma 14.4 kills completely my machine that are completely fully functional with 14.3.1. When I saw the advices ... was extremely late. Thanks
OCLP 1.4.1 and Monterey 13.6.5 messed up my iMac lost WiFi….wish i had seen that note
Will Sonoma via OCLP disable my firewire on my Late 2010 Mac Pro Tower 5.1?
Unfortunately I found this after I updated. Is there a way to undo the patch 1.4.3 or what ever it is patch?
Hi, I upgraded with OCLP Sonoma 14.4.1 before I knew about the need to install the 1.4.2 patcher, and now I cannot get on wifi. Can uninstall and can I go back to BigSur or can I find a way to load OCLP patch 1.4.2. without wifi? thanks for any assistance.
So when you say install OCLP 1.4.1 before the update, you mean just install the application, not the patches because the update will wipe all patches anyway, right?
Can you please help me Mr M with why mu mid 2010 MacBook Pro 💻,8 gig ram it won’t boot into any version of Ventura or sonoma ,I DESPERATELY NEED HELP ,PLEASE HELP WITH THIS OCLPATCHER ITS NOT WORKING & I’ve updated OCLP to 1-4-2 but I have not tried it PLEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU YOU ALL I BOOT INTO IS A BLCK SCREEN WITH A FROZEN ARROW ON TOP LEFT CORNER AND A OUTLINE OF A MOUSE AND TRACKPAD THAT I HAVE NEVER USED USB OR BLUETOOTH MOUSE OR TRACKPAD USING O.C.LPATCHER PLEASE HELP ❤
Is it likely that OCLP 1.4.2 will resolve the auto-join network issue?
Thank you sir
I just am wondering if there are any plans or thoughts for the inevitable obsoleted Apple Silicon computers coming in the future as the Intel machines fade away.
macOS 14.4 does run pretty well for me on my 2015 13' MBP. The boot times are actually a lot faster on 14.4 compared to 14.3.1 and earlier on there. Of course, right after I updated to the betas, I noticed my keyboard and trackpad weren't working which quickly got fixed, as well as having to forget and reconnect to a wifi network to auto-join it. I also noticed (and this is still present btw) that unlocking with my Apple Watch doesn't work in 14.4, requiring me to enter my password to log in.
I also have an old Late 2009 White MacBook running Monterey, and wifi appears to work just fine after updating it to 12.7.4.
UPDATE: With OCLP 1.4.2n and PSP 1.4.8, they’ve been able to resolve auto-join, and I’m happy to report that unlocking my MacBook with my Apple Watch also works again as well with 1.4.2.
