Thanks. Can'y use for my MacBook Peo i7 late 2011. So as soon as it is available for my Mac will install. That said I love that you produced a walk thorough video for the newer machines. Thank you Mr Macintosh.. You and the other developers are out super hero's.
Monterey works well ok on the10,1 imac. I tried Ventura but after running the post install patch it will gets stuck on boot. I will stick with Monterey as I only upgraded from Catalina to get MS office to work. Might try again later this year.
Thank you. Very informative video. According to your list, my iMac will support an upgrade (iMac High Sierra, Retina 5K, 27 inch, 2017) to Ventura. However, I cannot find the link you referenced which addressed compatible software. I'd like to check that first before upgrading. How does an upgrade affect cloud-based software or does it? Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Wow. Great video. Thanks a bunch. I was able to install on my macbook pro 2012. (1) However, apps like Google Meet, zoom and Microsoft Team couldn't access my microphone and camera. I tried everything possible yet not working even in system preference ->privacy... the apps are not showing up there. (2) I could not install Ventura Security updates too. Got an error not supported. What could be the possible fix? Any help. Thanks a bunch, once more.
Can someone please help me my MacBook is not working I'm trying to update it but it's not updating, I installed the update but it says " switch to and log out each other user before continuing " Please tell me what to do because I have no idea what's going on with this and we do not have any Apple Store's nearby... Please tell me what to do if anyone has any idea

Hello, would this work on an early 2015 macbook pro with the 12.3.1 monterey version and would this be needed for work done in safari or google chrome?
What do I need to do If I have done everything but when it comes time to select the startup disk, its faded and won't let me click it, and it says I need to select which start-up disk I want to use.
Thank God I was able to install Ventura from Mojave & it is now running okay. I could not upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur so almost gave up.Now apart from some issues that came with the upgrade, some letters on my Bluetooth keyboard is not working! Not sure why! Can’t type in my password.
I have successfully updated my Late 2014 5K iMac to Ventura, my M1 Max 16' mbP is also on Ventura now. But I can't use the iMac as a display - just the mbP is enabled as a display for the iMac. I'd much rather it worked both ways or the other way around. Is this even possible? Currently my only option is to 'Link keyboard and mouse to iMac' - the iMac doesn't show on 'Mirror or extend to' option. I would love to share a window from the mbP over to the 5k iMac display! Thank you
Just updated to 13.0.1, I have a 2011 2GHZ Quad-Core Intel Core I7, iPad mini 5.3 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD OS drive, 4 TB Data drive. After install root patches were applied, rebooted mouse and keyboard quit after 60 seconds. Removed root patches. Every thing seems to run fine.
This is truly amazing. I did a full clean install and everything worked perfectly except I get the dreaded Beach ball at the login screen and I can't login. Any ideas please?
Hi I have 2011 Imac upgrade from high to monterey 12.6.1 everting works great except no sound on internal speakers input its fine i plug my headphone it works not able to swish to output only for headphones any solution ?
12:34 does this chart mean that if you're 12.3 or newer, the full installer CAN'T be used, or just that is doesn't HAVE to be used? Currently version 14 is already out, but I want to upgrade only to 13. If I use the delta upgrade in settings, it would put me on 14. Can I use the 13 installer on 12.7?
I try to upgrade to Ventura Os on unsupported Mac. Ventura won't start. Could make a video about : Post Install Patch OpenCore Monterey Os Apps won't launch they stay trying but never do. And the mouse appear frozen. Please I Want to know what to do. Monterey Os Works great but to minimize a page last for ever . Thank you for your help.
i am getting error " You can't use this version of the application OpenCore-Patcher with this version of Mac OS X." You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.10 or later. Please help
hey MrMac, really appreciate these videos. I was always a windows guy up to 4 months ago when i switched to mac. It was a process relearning the OS system, and then of course i quickly learned the version of mac wasnt supported with the later versions of os. thanks to your easy to follow steps of how to bypass the system via open core patcher, I have been able to use my mac as a normal mac ever since. I now need to upgrade to Ventura. Will I still need to follow the Opencore patch route or can I just upgrade from system preferences? huge thanks
Hello Celtic Distortion! I'm glad to hear that! I grew up on windows and it will always hold a place for me, but I've moved on 100% to macOS. For your upgrade, OCLP supports updates in system preferences ie. 12.6 to 12.6.2 but does not support upgrades ie 12.6 to 13.0+. To upgrade you need to create a OCLP Ventura USB Boot disk and boot to it. Once in recovery click on upgrade to ventura. This will retain all your info and apps, don't forget to backup your files first before upgrading.
@@Mr.Macintoshhuge thanks for the reply!!! ok, no problem. So the usual steps will work to install Ventura 13? Load onto the flash drive then follow the steps via the opencore?
Hi! How do I downgrade from big sur to catalina or mojave for old macbook pro 2011? I upgraded from high sierra to big sur by watching one of your videos. Thanks!
Hello Tosca, to downgrade to catalina you will need to create a macOS Catalina usb installer. Backup all your data then boot to that Catalina USB installer so you can erase and reinstall Catalina.
VERY IMPORTANT - Mr Machintosh, I don't know what else to do I've tried everything I've spent more than 5 hours trying to solve the problem with bluetooth. I have Mac Pro 2008 and I installed MacOS Monterey version 12.6.1 and I can't connect the blutooth, I can't even turn it on, I already downloaded the blutooth explorer and even then I don't see any controller. When I say I've done everything, it's everything. I also bought a USB Hideez USB Bluetooth Adapter for macOS and it still doesn't work. Another question how can I downgrade to BigSur using opencore, remember that I use Mac Pro 2008, if you can help me I will be grateful, thanks
Hey what must I do, I preparing to install Monterey on MBP 2011. But when I install (clean install) and selecting location drive to install, I am facing error that make me unable to finish the process. Thank you
Hey Mr. Macintosh! I have tried looking around but I can’t get a concrete answer. Some of my Mac’s are running Monterrey and they’ve been updated using OpenCore patcher. To upgrade to Ventura, do I have to go through the entire process all over again creating the Ventura bootable drive and the installation that way, or can I just update the OS from the Mac’s update window? I really appreciate your help!
Btw i also tried to upgrade High Sierra to Big Sur, but then my old Mac says he could not install it! It was the official download from Apple ! I did all the instructions from the site, also the program could not install to my usb drive ! So this programs are full of bugs !😮
My mac came with High Sierra, first i upgraded to montery, fine that worked but then in the updates there was a message saying i could upgrade to Ventura, i did that and then things really got bad, at restart i had two partitions wiith Montery and Ventura, in Ventura everything was slow as heck ! My mouse freezed all the time…….some functions did not work anymore like my Wifi……….so i erased my mac and went back to High Sierra ! Why should you upgrade an old Mac to a modern system ? 😂
Respectfully ik a rare thing right, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. You installed Monterey natively or not but you missed Ventura is a hack for every Mac not officially supported via Apple. Which means if you put Ventura on an unsupported Mac that OCLP does not support then you are on your own. Apple did not by happen chance omit virtually every Mac pre- 2015 with Ventura, they changed so much its literally remarkable that we still have method to install it on our defunct devices at all. You smartly did a dual install but Ventura is not be optimized and thats the problem, OCLP at this time can't change that.
Totally worked for me! Thanks a lot, nonetheless I've been having an issue since I updated to Monterey with OpenCore and still have it now that my Mac is running Ventura; iMessage and Facetime are not working, I can't log in. App Store and iCloud work just fine. Any ideas on how to make them work again?
Lol just waited 4 hours for 12.6.2 to download only for it to tell me the installer cannot be copied to the the USB as its not the correct installer. OMG now to risk another 4 hours downloaded another installer version?
You can just use a backup to downgrade, no? How to downgrade macOS Ventura to Monterey with Time Machine? This approach is only available for the users that have the complete backup of the previous macOS Monterey. With Time Machine backup, you can perform this reinstallation without effort. Connect your Time Machine drive to your Mac. Restart your Mac. For Apple Silicon Mac: press and hold the Power button until you see the startup screen. Then, choose Options > Continue. For Intel-based Mac: press and hold Command + R until you see the Apple logo. Choose Restore from Time Machine Backup, and then tap the Continue button. Select your Restore Source, and then click Continue. Select the backup you want to restore from. Follow the prompts to complete the reinstallation, then restore your files from your backup drive.
An dont do it if you play Mac games, a lot games didn’t come over other Mac OS. Every time apple kill a OS. It hurt Mac OS gaming world. I don’t understand apple need to release new os every year
Bought a 4,000+ US$ Mac Pro in 2018. Max CPU (12 core Xeon), max GPU (2xD700), max RAM (64 GB). It isn't even supported anymore by apple software updates... I have to resort now to hacks to be able to use Ventura (OpenCore Legacy Patcher)... I will NEVER again buy an Apple PC again. Apple just screwed me!
The only error that has happened to me in Ventura is that UA-cam occasionally gives me an error, right now I don't remember what that error is but it appears several times and does not allow me to see the video I have to empty the cookie and restart the computer to work normally in Monterrey that never happened to me
