Mr.Macintosh and the developers are saving not only our macs but the world's sources. This is the best hitech enviromentalist movement by far. Thank you for all your efforts.
Happy birthday to my iMac 14.3🎉 up for another 10 years. Sonoma is running fine. After replacing the hdd with sata ssd and upping memory to 16Gbyte in 2018 it is even faster than when i bought it new! Thanks to guys who do this intensive oclp work for a beer or coffee!🎉🎉🎉 I play my Civ 5 and Rome Total games for a decade now, next to some office work. That machine just won't stop.
Great video, as always. The thorough explanation is greatly appreciated. My Mac Mini is on the latest Ventura (before yesterday’s update) and OCLP 1.2.1, so I followed the advice and updated to 1.3.0 before doing the Ventura update. Something has gone wrong though as after the OCLP install to disk, and subsequent root patching, the restart has now failed with the white progress bar stuck at about a third of the way across.
Hey Mr.Macintosh, this was the first time I caught one of your videos (saw it as already have OCP and looking for something else) and wanted to tell you how amazed and impressed at the clarity and relative simplicity you brought to what many may feel is all smoke and mirrors! Wow! How brilliant the OCP developers are to come up with such a slick, foolproof system. Your explanation of it made me appreciate what I probably would not have noticed. Subscribed on the basis that, if your other contents is even half as good it’s worth watching. Thank you man 🙌
I installed OCLP 1.3.0 and then installed Sonoma 14.2 on my mid-2011 iMac. The installation seemed to be proceeding well, then it took me to a screen that showed a mouse, but without Bluetooth support. I used a USB mouse to continue, and then was taken to the Restore options. I closed that without making a selection, rebooted, and held down Command-Option-P-R on startup to reset NVRAM. Upon rebooting Bluetooth was restored and the installation proceeded to a successful conclusion.
Thanks to Mr. Macintosh for this great video and to all the developers at Dortania for their fantastic efforts and achievements. I updated from MacOS 14.1.2 / OCLP 1.2.1 and all runs so far perfectly with MacOS 14.2 / OCLP 1.3.0. late 2013 27" iMac (14,2) 3.5 GHz 4Core Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB, 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - MacOS 14.2 / OCLP 1.3.0 - Parallels 18 (W10 VM)

Thank you Mr Macintosh and the OCLP dev team. Another great video, as always. Successfully updated to OCLP 1.3.0 and Sonoma 14.2 on my MBP 8,1 2011 8Gb RAM and on my iMac 11,1 2009 16Gb RAM. No issue at all during install. Didn't notice any major change in speed, latency or crashes compared to 14.1.2. Everything working like a charm on both machines.
No issues installing on my setup. On a 2014 Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.1.2 and OCLP 1.2.1, I had zero issues upgrading OCLP to 1.3.0, updating OpenCore, applying the root patches and rebooting. A day later, I upgraded to Sonoma 14.2, rebooted, reapplied the root patches, and rebooted, again without issue.
So here's a important note. On my Mac Pro 2010 5,1 I did the initial updating through system settings and software update. It got the new KDK and everything downloaded and ready to go with the upgrade to 14.2. But once installing during that method on this Mac Pro, it stalled and just did not go through properly where I had to go into my Ventura SSD and create a USB installer for the 14.2 update. Once that was created and a bootable USB was made the process went through no problems with the 14.2 update. All patches were on. Them once in Sonoma 14.2, Bluetooth and Air drop did not work. So ad to reapply the root patches again and after reboot Bluetooth and Air drop were working once again. My suggestion is just to make a USB installer rather than doing the update via settings.
I followed the instructions with my 5.1 Mac and also had problems with the update after it completed. The screen would go to black every few second or so then turn back on. I can try again following your information and create a 14.2 bootable USB installer. Thanks for the advice.
Updated oclp to the latest version on a 2012 Mac Mini, but not it hangs on boot. Any suggestions on how I can get back up and running? I'm running Ventura. Thanks.
Is it infinite spinning during login screen after entering password? I have this issue right now :( applied and followed everything in the oclp update app, it has always worked flawlessly, im on Ventura too!
@@PhilipClouds I get through the login screen fine. After that, the white progress bar stops at about 1/3 loading. The only way I was able to get my system up and running was to do a fresh install, however I'm not on the latest version of OCLP at this time. I'm worried it will happen again as I have not seen a fix or this really being addressed anywhere whether I look here in the comments of this video or on the OCLP discord server...
tried to update to 14.2 went slow but at restart I got 3 beeps. so just killed 2 ram slots of my 2013 iMac 27". don't know the reason but now I only have 16gb instead of 32! not nice. tried everything thinking it was just 1 ram stick or something but both slots are fried. ( upper two slots )
One of the things I've learned about upgrading MacOS on an iMac 2013 and white Macbook 2009 is that programs like Numbers and Pages need to be installed on Ventura I had an old HDD for the Macbook which still had an old version of Numbers, and when I tried to upgrade Numbers I got the message from the App Store that I needed MacOS 13 (Ventura) before I could do the upgrade. The furthest MacOS I could go was High Sierra which is where I am now. Lots of gotcha's to this process.
Many thanks again Mr.Macintosh for your indispensible and timely videos guiding us! Happy to report Late 2012 27" iMac updated to Ventura 13.6.3 using OCLP 1.3.0 without incident. Haven't tried to see if recovery mode works yet.
These videos are really great. I couldn't have made my Macs run so well. I did the update of OpenCore before updating. After, both OPLP and Sonaoma, Safrai was eating up all my CPU cycles. I deleted history ( hate doing that now I have to find all my passwords). Turns out I had my only tab group with Instagram and Facebook causing this. I deleted the tab group, and it returned to normal. Activity monitor was showing when a Safari window was open the former tab group was cosnuming all CPU cycles. After deleting this, the separate URLs run as expected. I haven't yet tried a new tab group.
This version rendered it impossible to ever boot above Catalina on my 5,1 Mac Pro. All the work arounds I’ve tried don’t work yet it was perfectly fine dual booting Catalina and 14.1 under the previous OCLP. I’m convinced it’s done something to the NVRAM.
Thanks again Mr. M. for the excellent videos and support you give so many of us. I updated my late 2013 iMac 27" to OCLP 1.3.0 without a hitch. I downloaded Sonoma 14.2 via Settings and updated without any problems (once downloaded the update took about 20 minutes). So far the system is running quite smooth and has all its bits!
I don't use them as a rule but just tried. If I Ctr+click on a message bubble and choose 'Stickers...' the stickers menu pops up for a few seconds and then disappears :/ If I send a new message then I have full access to stickers, photos, etc. @@rinysnoeren6283
I am one of those affected by the recovery system not working, but the problem may be bigger. Details: - Macbook Pro early 2015 16Gb Ram, Intel i7, MacBook 12,1. - Was running OCLP 1.6.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 quite happily. - Wanted to update uo 14.1.2, decided to update to OCLP 1.6.2 first. - OCLP installed ok, did the EFI and kernel patch ok, went into its reboot cycle. Or so I thought- just as the Mac was rebooting, a dialog briefly popped up warning me that the EFI and kernel patches were a mismatch between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2. I couldn't stop the reboot that OCLP initiated. - on reboot, got to the Apple logo but the boot progress bar stopped at about 40%. Nothing I could do. - after I tried everything including EFI boot and reinstall Sonoma from the boot picker thats. no progress. - I created a new install USB on another iMac using OCLP 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 to both Sonoma 14.1.1 (which was what was installed, and then 14.1.2, no progress- Installl appears to run ok, but fails to boot during the second auto reboot during install. That is despite the USB installer being targeted at MacBook 12,1 and had fresh installer downloads from Apple through OCLP. That is weird- a seemingly successful Sonoma reinstall, but won't fully reboot afterwards. - Atempts to carry out a Time machine recovery after an internet recovery reboot failed because the time machine could not mount that MacBook's backup (see below) - online (via internet data recovery / terminal) data recovery tools from 2 different data recovery tools both showed that my data was intact on the SSD Macintosh HD container, but that there was no OS, but a second disc name UPDATE was now present and contained a pile of directories msutargetcontroller-mount XXX, a few empty to nearly empty folders and a few files eg nvram.plist and log files. Weirdly the Update drive mounts as a separate drive the full size as Mackintosh HD. /dev mount funnies? My drastic solution so far is to: - remove the MacBook SSD and insert it into a new OCW Envoy Pro 1A and examine it on another Mac. The data and structure is intact, so can be recovered. As explained below, the time machine backups were not available, so this original copy is vital. The Envoy drive also mounts the UPDATE drive which Disc utility reports as the full SSD as well as the Mackintosj HD partition. - I will install an M.2 SSD mounted via a Sintech adapter on the MacBook (I've used them before- recommended!), and install everything afresh. - Bought a newer MacBook Pro Silicon ver, but it could not recover the older MacBook Time Machine backups (see below). ! Ventura and Sonoma have turned on Time Machine encryption by default in the Time Machine settings. This means that if you lose your Mac, you cannot restore to a new Mac. I use a 3Tb Apple Airport Extreme Time machine and its been bombproof as a way to recover a crashed MacBook/iMac over the years. Knowing your Time Machine device passwords is not enough- the backup is most likely double encrypted- once by the Mac, and again by the Time Machine. As far as I can find, and tried many ways, only the original Mac can get the data. Dunno what happens when the original MacBook is eventually restored with a fresh SSD and OS- I have yet to find out. Lessons learned: - OCLP does glitch. This has been my worst experience since I started using it about 3 years ago. Be cautious even though OCLP is now much easier to use and understand. - Turn time machine encryption at the Mac- it's now enabled by default. A stupid idea to only make a backup set available to the original Mac. Once turned off, I understand that Time then goes your backup set and decrypts the encrypted whole set which will make those backups available is you need to recover to another Mac. - Dont trust anything. - I probably missed another recovery option? A different question to put to the OCLP community: has the APFS driver in OCLP been updated to a version that supports a Fusion drive? I'd like to update my iMac to a new MacOS so I can run software that after recent year's OS updates won't run the latest versions of software that require a newer OS. I've asked this question before and even on the latest OCLP, the EFI/disk selector still shows both the fusion drive's SSD and HD, but not the fusion drive itself. Deciding which EFI to update with OCLP, or both, is unclear- forums, Reddit etc provide no clarity or certainty. OCLP 1.2.2 still hashes 'problemm". If I get it wrong on either drive, the synthesised fusion drive is toast. Any authoritative ideas?
I need the original graphics card to install it on my 2010 mac pro, it supports multiple video monitors, for better work flexibility I need two monitors. My most sincere congratulations for your work, I am very impressed by your knowledge and skills, I love my computer and I don't want to get rid of it !!!! millions of thanks !!!!
To whom it may concern: I updated my late 2012 Mac Mini (was running OCLP 1.3.0 already) successfully to Sonoma 14.2.1 - as usual, it needed a manually started root patching via OCLP and another reboot before everything was up and going again. But now it‘s fine. ✌🏻
Are these issues normal with previous macOS releases before 14, or are they occurring more frequently this year? Feels like Apple is intentionally trying to cause as many problems as possible.
Hi, could you ask Dortania if it can alert that there is a new OCLP even if the app is not open? It can alert it perhaps by checking its servers everyday (it can be set, the time to check even in the OCLP setting). Thank you. God bless.
Not just the Recovery, but also USB installation disk is not booting if made with the OCLP v1.2.0 or later. I had to reinstall OpenCore on the USB disk from OCLP v1.1.0 to be able to boot from the USB installation disk.
How to revert the boot legacy patcher update back because I was waiting for the video and since it comes a little late in the evening yesterday i did as usual going first on updating my legacy patcher before updating the new version of macos but my mac mini got stuck there in the apple logo with half bar since yesterday.How can I solve it please☹️🙏🏾
12:29 After listening to you saying no problem with 2012 mac mini, I tried it on mine. Installing OCLP 1.3.0 was fine. Then I tried updating Sonoma from 14.0 to 14.2 and eventually got a black screen. From Disk Utility the Startup SSD disappeared. What left was the Macintosh HD. I need to take out the SSD from the MacMini Server 6,2 and use another Mac to First Aid the partition and Erase it, put it back and restore from Time Machine backup. I found something strange! TM used to back up both internal drive. But now obviously OCLP EFI booted up drive did not have TM backup. Only the non-Oclp drive in the TM backup. It could be a big issue if my observation is confirmed.
iMac 21,5" 2011 with Ventura and latest patches : still not working : any app like Apple TV, Netflix etc ( only via webbrowsers ) google maps or Apple Maps ( dark screen instead of map ) , photos in native Photos app : preview photos not possible after while .
I'm glad you keeping us informed about these updates. But where can I suggest a fix for iMovie in the next update? I have a iMac 7.1 with Sonoma and the OpenCore Legacy has somehow cause iMovie to crash every time I try to create a new movie. Any suggestions?
Seeing that Sonoma background running at a skippy 10 frames a second, in this video, has convinced me that “I’m good”. I’ll keep my 2012 on its old operating system. Proper retro style. I’ll just use a proper M1 for newer OSs. 😂
Thanks for the great video! Question - do you have a video that covers how to make bootable backups of OCLP macOS installs on unsupported macs using something like SuperDuper or CCC? Is there some trick to get this to work? Is it even possible do you know?
Warning OCLP 1.3.0 (only OCLP update) made my macOS Ventura crash (on MBP retina 15 mid-2012) when trying to login, infinite spinning. And on top of that macOS recovery is bust. So i did a fresh install, first to Catalina, then to Sonoma, now works great🎉 always have your important stuff backed up people!
Mr. Macintosh, like your videos, IMHO, you group too many fixes in one video, it would be nice if you broke a couple out as independent videos (such as a simple install/upgrade), would cause less confusion. As for myself, I'm sticking with OCLP 1.2.1 and Sonoma 14.0. It works just fine and since it is installed on a secondary iMac 2015 I see no need to risk upsetting the current work flow.
Hey Mr. Macintosh, did you test if the firewire connection is working after this upgrade was installed on a Macbook Pro Mid 2012? I am using an audio interface based on firewire and I don't want to miss that.
Thanks for this useful informative video. OS 14.2 was working flawlessly on my early 2013 map until I shut it down. Turning it on again I noticed that it was slow and too discovered graphics were missing. I reinstalled the PDK again, rebooted and now it's working flawlessly again. Will I have to install the PDK each time after I turn the computer OFF?
When I get to installing from the boot usb installer I created I get a message saying “this installer is damaged”. I reformatted and created it repeatedly, it says verifying and says it’s been created every time but when it gets to installing Sonoma it says the installer “is damaged”. I used opencore 1.3.0 2014 MacBook Pro A-1278
Updated OCLP to 1.3.0 then tried applying the latest Ventura and Safari update (didn't want to risk Sonoma just yet). On reboot iMac 15.1 doesn't see keyboard or mouse and keeps jumping from on sign screen to another. Wish I hadn't done it now!
I don't think correcting someone's grammar is helping anyone in the way you might be intending. Maybe you could help with a solution to their tech problem?@@alvallac2171
Downloaded OCLP 1.3.0 onto my 2007 iMac but it will not run. Tried different unzip utilities thinking it didn’t unpack properly but it just crashes on startup attempt.
Ouch. So if we didn’t watch this video until after trying to go to 1.3 without doing the Sonoma update thick and now at 1/3 white loading bar any fix? I have access to a hard drive on my Mac if that helps
Thx again for the detailed upgrade video. I've been trying to follow the steps, but unfortunetaly it didn't work for me.. I've this MacPro5,1, upgraded with NVMe drives and I can't to seem it get it to boot from the NVMe since I upgraded from OLCP 0.6.8 to 1.0.0 Every update I hope it get fixed, but without success so far. I looks like I'm missing the drivers at boot time, so Iguess it's a matter of getting them included in the EFI build, but I couldn't figure out how yet. If you know of some handy resource online I could check out to get this resolved, that would be awesome. For now, I keep booting from my external USB install disk, which isn't great, but at least it works :)
Mr. Macintosh, I'm stuck on bootloader 0.6.5 and I can't seem to get an update to stick. Running big sur with open core on my mac mini 6,2 2012. I've reset NVRAM and then reinstalled with an installer created with 1.4.3 and still no success. Hoping you might be able to help? Thanks in advance for any advice.
This is what I'm running iMac 12,2 - 32GB of RAM - SSD 1Tb - Nvidia Quadro K4000M - Sonoma 14.2.1 - i7 3.4GHZ Quad Core - OCLP 1.3.0. And I'm experiencing video glitches when streaming video from a friend on Discord, this weird purple filter on photo booth over the recording image as well in Zoom. Though UA-cam through Google Chrome seems fine. Anyone experience this?.
I created the USB with Sonoma, restarted the mac with option key and all I get is a black screen so I cannot select boot options. Any ideas? Running CMP 2012 with RX580.
Having just spent 3 days scrambling to recover from this "update", I will suggest anyone considering performing this, back up your data and prepare for the worst. I have no idea what happened, but upon rebooting subsequent to updating OCLP from 1.2 to 1.3, my 2012 MacBook Pro Ventura 13.6.1 hung 1/3 of the way through the boot process and refused all methods suggested to proceed. Tried all command line tricks and KDK insertion. OS recovery failed with "OS major version unrecognized" error. Attempting updating OS to 13.6.2 failed also, "The volume cannot be downgraded" error. Swapped SSD, clean install 13.6.2 failed Migration Assistant refused to allow migration to an older OS. But it wasn't. It was only through swapping SSDs and clean installing Sonoma 14.2 that boot was restored and Migration assistant allowed migration from prior disk. Lesson learned for me - again. NEVER trust ANY update/upgrade, seemingly trivial or not, OS or OCLP.
I am new to this and I plan to upgrade my Air 2011 to OCLP Monterey. Are there any new changes or post-install I have to do in the current OCLP 1.3.0? Also, Do I need to bother with the KDK issue? I do not know what it is or what system it affects. Thank you
I seem to be stuck on 1.1.0, MBP Mid 2012, and the OS is now 14.2. It wants to update to 1.3 and says it is successful every time I do it, but it is still at 1.1.0. Any help appreciated.
Thank you for another excellent video. I need some help with my MacBookPro 11,5 from 2015. Ventura 13.6.1 was running well including Parallels 19.2.0 for Windows 11. After OCLP 1.3.0 I decided to update to Sonoma 14.2. The update using USB went well and Sonoma is running as expected without any major issues. However Parallels is now only working partially. The start menu of Windows 11 only shows icons without any text. Dropdown menus also icons without text. EDGE is black screen. However one old Windows 7 program is running ok. I guess it has to do with the drivers for the GPU´s ? Do you have any suggestions? For info I have tried installing fresh copy of Sonoma 14.2 on an external SSD, installed fresh Parallels 19.2 and with same negative result. Also tried reinstalling Parallels on the internal drive as well as installing again Windows 11. No luck. Is it possible to transfer drivers working in Ventura to the Sonoma OS? And how?
I have an iMac 12,1 (21" 2011) and after successfully installed Sonoma 14.2.1, bluetooth and ethernet aren't working. I've run the Post-install Root Patch, but no-go. Any clue, please, on how to solve it? Thank you!
Sir need your information, I did successfully patch my 2010 MBP (upgrade SSD and 16GB) to Ventura,, I tried to install steam, the steam does not work fully normal but I can install FM24 through it,, somehow I can running FM24, it's stuck at black screen and not loading any further....
Hey! I upgraded to Sonoma via OpenCore Legacy Patcher and now trying to downgrade back to Ventura. Is there a video about that, because I’m facing some problems with that
Thank you for great tutorial. My PRO 5.1 works fine with Monterey installed with one "problem". OCLP is updated on version 1.3.0. When turned on, after few minutes there is one OCLP POPup with warning that is version 1.3.0 installed, but boot version is 0.6.8. Did I make something wrong? How can I fix this? Second question is that Monterey is giving me upgrade on 12.7.2 version. Can I make this without OCLP or not?
Think I followed everything in order for 2013 Mac Pro and it all installs OK but at the login screen can only type 2 chars of the password before it restarts the login screen. A fresh install for Sonoma 14.2 worked fine. Anyone met this so I know what to do next time? Thanks
Hello, I updated OCL to 1.3.0 and now my imac 14.3 does not have audio, do you know how to solve it? I have not found information about it, greetings from Toluca México
Hi, I need help. I run my wifes mid 2012 MBP 13inch on OCLP and got a promp to update to 1.3.0. I did it and followed all the steps like on you video (only 1.3.0 update not Mac OS) (still on first Sonoma public version (not beta)) and now the machine is stuck on boot. Apple logo and progress bar stuck at 1/5... What to do now? I tried recovery, safe mode, it's as if nothing works... Please help if possible. Thank you in advance.
If it’s ok with you wondered if you could clarify a couple of points for me (and anyone else wondering too) First, are you saying the latest OCLP allows legacy AMD GPU’s to work ? And if so on all or which OSX versions? Am just upgrading an old mid 2011 iMac with some new hardware, including the highest spec GPU natively supported (without extra work) which is AMD HD6790M 2GB - So if it won’t work and defaults over to CPU for graphics it’s not worth me doing that upgrade, or leave it stuck on High Sierra. Second, do you know if OCLP can provide a route to install software which check to see if your Mac has an M1 CPU or later? There’s no reason the software in question should not work on an Intel CPU but site won’t let me download it without 🤬 Any help much appreciated 👍
I have a 2012 Mac Pro and installed Mac OS 14 using Open Core 1.0 on a separate internal HD. It worked fine. I recently wanted to update so I downloaded the latest Sonoma updater and Open Core Legacy Patcher 1.3. I started over and built the patcher to a reformatted USB installer drive and everything was normal. When I attempt a reboot to the EFI boot loader on my USB stick, it will not show any boot options, just a black screen. Any ideas why I can't get the boot loader to mount?
Yesterday (Dec 12, 2024), I followed your video for installing Sonoma 14.2 on my late 2013 i5 MBP. I don't understand this video. Was my install no good? Aside from not playing UA-cam TV in Safari, all seems fine. What is this video for? Where do I get the update? How do I begin the update? There's lots of jargon here that is over my head.
Question: I keep having an issue where after I do a mac update opencore legacy keeps deleting itself from my computer. it not in the trash and the icon in the menu goes blank. I reinstall it and the copy of the app that should be in the library isn't there anymore. Why is it doing that? I did a build and install on my macs hard drive and once it rebooted the app is gone.
for some reason my 2012 mbp hung up on the reboot in the apple loading screen with zero activity from the hdd.....yes i have the 1.3 update. so rebooted into safe mode and there it said 14.2 so i ran the root patcher then rebooted again and now it works fine.
Since the update to Sonoma, keynote keeps crashing. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have a MacBook pro 15" mid 2015. I reformatted the hard drive, freshly installed the operating system from a USB drive using OCLP and then freshly installed Keynote. Is there anything else I can do?
i had the 1.3.0 update fail so i have sense installed another install to try and get my system back up and running off my primary install --- its a 2017 15” mbp with AMD -- Is there a way to go in and manually install whats needed to the primary volume to sucessfully boot?
Hi there, sorry if this is not the correct place, just installed Sonoma 14.3 on a Macbook Pro 17" 2010 6,1.. all good except Keynote 13.2, numbers and pages are ok... when you create a presentation all ok, when you run it, it just crashes with a non-spinning beachball... have also tried on an iMac 24" early 2008 running Ventura 13.6.1 - exactly the same issue... Please let me know where to post this if it needs to be posted elsewhere..... Many Thanks....
hello, I have a problem during the installation I have a black screen with the Apple logo, a loading bar but which remains stuck at "one more minute" and it does not move it remains stuck there you have any idea i have a macbook pro mid 2009 can you help me please ?
Hi @Mr.Macintosh, i updated macmini 6,1 to sonoma 14.2 with OCLP 1.3.0 , when i lock and unlock my mac is restarting and also on sleep wake, can you suggest any fix for this issue.
I need help. I have installed 14.2 with my 27” iMac 2017. Installation worked perfectly and i can use it. My problem is when it goes to sleep, I cant wake it up. Its like the system freezes and I cant do anything. I have to do a hard reboot to restart my iMac. This happens frequently so i have to do a hard reboot every time. Please help how can I fix this? I have installed the kdk prior to upgrading from ventura. I also have OPLC 1.3.0 and have the root patches installed. Thank you.
Hiiii, can you help me with my problem in 2016 late macbook pro?? I installed Sonoma and the touchbar didn't work and also I can't login to apple ID helpp meeee😢😢😢
hello mr.mcintosh i hope this comment find you well. why is oclp do not detect or show up a pop up window when im updating my macbook via system settings? im using macbook pro 13" early 2015.
If you want to update the OS, do this through OCLP "Create Mac OS Installer" button. Download the OS version you are after, then use OCLP to flash it to USB stick. Back up your data 3 different locations before attempting update. System Settings is unaware of OCLP.
Hey Mr. Macintosh, I was downloading the KDK and my internet stopped. Now it will not give the prompt when I click on install for Sonoma 14.2. How do I get the KDK 14.2 build now?
I update from 14.0 to 14.2 with open core legacy patcher 1.30 I am getting an error when logging in the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the wall paper back the keyboard does not function the same. am using a Mac air 2015. 14.0 was working fine

Happy birthday to my iMac 14.3🎉 up for another 10 years.
Sonoma is running fine.
After replacing the hdd with sata ssd and upping memory to 16Gbyte in 2018 it is even faster than when i bought it new!
Thanks to guys who do this intensive oclp work for a beer or coffee!🎉🎉🎉
I play my Civ 5 and Rome Total games for a decade now, next to some office work. That machine just won't stop.
This is feeling like Apple is giving still support for our old devices! Really great your continuous work on this Mr.Macintosh!
Great video, as always. The thorough explanation is greatly appreciated. My Mac Mini is on the latest Ventura (before yesterday’s update) and OCLP 1.2.1, so I followed the advice and updated to 1.3.0 before doing the Ventura update. Something has gone wrong though as after the OCLP install to disk, and subsequent root patching, the restart has now failed with the white progress bar stuck at about a third of the way across.
Mine too 😔 Any workaround for this?
Make that 3, has anyone tried to go back using Time Machine?
I learned the hard way too.
Always prep a bootable usb with oclp and have time machine updated. Or, wait for others to confirm it's working...
Guess I’ll be sticking to 14.1.1 and oclp 1.0.1. This happened to me when trying to go to 1.2.0 without even updating macOS
Same here Macmini7,1 from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0
Hey Mr.Macintosh, this was the first time I caught one of your videos (saw it as already have OCP and looking for something else) and wanted to tell you how amazed and impressed at the clarity and relative simplicity you brought to what many may feel is all smoke and mirrors! Wow! How brilliant the OCP developers are to come up with such a slick, foolproof system. Your explanation of it made me appreciate what I probably would not have noticed. Subscribed on the basis that, if your other contents is even half as good it’s worth watching. Thank you man 🙌
I installed OCLP 1.3.0 and then installed Sonoma 14.2 on my mid-2011 iMac. The installation seemed to be proceeding well, then it took me to a screen that showed a mouse, but without Bluetooth support. I used a USB mouse to continue, and then was taken to the Restore options. I closed that without making a selection, rebooted, and held down Command-Option-P-R on startup to reset NVRAM. Upon rebooting Bluetooth was restored and the installation proceeded to a successful conclusion.
Thanks to Mr. Macintosh for this great video and to all the developers at Dortania for their fantastic efforts and achievements. I updated from MacOS 14.1.2 / OCLP 1.2.1 and all runs so far perfectly with MacOS 14.2 / OCLP 1.3.0.

don’t you have any problems with stickers in the messaging app?
@@rinysnoeren6283 ...I rarely use iMessage and if, I don't use stickers. But I tested it for you and can confirm that stickers don't work. 😮 Sticker menu opens and shuts down immediately again before I can select a sticker...
Thank you Mr Macintosh and the OCLP dev team. Another great video, as always. Successfully updated to OCLP 1.3.0 and Sonoma 14.2 on my MBP 8,1 2011 8Gb RAM and on my iMac 11,1 2009 16Gb RAM. No issue at all during install. Didn't notice any major change in speed, latency or crashes compared to 14.1.2. Everything working like a charm on both machines.
No issues installing on my setup.
On a 2014 Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.1.2 and OCLP 1.2.1, I had zero issues upgrading OCLP to 1.3.0, updating OpenCore, applying the root patches and rebooting. A day later, I upgraded to Sonoma 14.2, rebooted, reapplied the root patches, and rebooted, again without issue.
how about parallels 19
iMac 27´ end 2015 as well as MBP 15´ mid 2015 are running flawlessly. Thanks for the video.
Have the same MBP. Keynote keeps crushing. Is it working on yours?
Although I don’t use keynote, it works fine.
So here's a important note. On my Mac Pro 2010 5,1 I did the initial updating through system settings and software update. It got the new KDK and everything downloaded and ready to go with the upgrade to 14.2. But once installing during that method on this Mac Pro, it stalled and just did not go through properly where I had to go into my Ventura SSD and create a USB installer for the 14.2 update. Once that was created and a bootable USB was made the process went through no problems with the 14.2 update. All patches were on. Them once in Sonoma 14.2, Bluetooth and Air drop did not work. So ad to reapply the root patches again and after reboot Bluetooth and Air drop were working once again. My suggestion is just to make a USB installer rather than doing the update via settings.
I followed the instructions with my 5.1 Mac and also had problems with the update after it completed. The screen would go to black every few second or so then turn back on. I can try again following your information and create a 14.2 bootable USB installer. Thanks for the advice.
Updated oclp to the latest version on a 2012 Mac Mini, but not it hangs on boot. Any suggestions on how I can get back up and running? I'm running Ventura. Thanks.
Is it infinite spinning during login screen after entering password? I have this issue right now :( applied and followed everything in the oclp update app, it has always worked flawlessly, im on Ventura too!
@@PhilipClouds I get through the login screen fine. After that, the white progress bar stops at about 1/3 loading. The only way I was able to get my system up and running was to do a fresh install, however I'm not on the latest version of OCLP at this time. I'm worried it will happen again as I have not seen a fix or this really being addressed anywhere whether I look here in the comments of this video or on the OCLP discord server...
tried to update to 14.2 went slow but at restart I got 3 beeps. so just killed 2 ram slots of my 2013 iMac 27". don't know the reason but now I only have 16gb instead of 32! not nice. tried everything thinking it was just 1 ram stick or something but both slots are fried. ( upper two slots )
One of the things I've learned about upgrading MacOS on an iMac 2013 and white Macbook 2009 is that programs like Numbers and Pages need to be installed on Ventura I had an old HDD for the Macbook which still had an old version of Numbers, and when I tried to upgrade Numbers I got the message from the App Store that I needed MacOS 13 (Ventura) before I could do the upgrade. The furthest MacOS I could go was High Sierra which is where I am now. Lots of gotcha's to this process.
works fine also on Mac mini Late 2012 with Ventura 13.6.3, and MacBook Pro 15" Late 2012 with MacOS 13.6.3
Many thanks again Mr.Macintosh for your indispensible and timely videos guiding us! Happy to report Late 2012 27" iMac updated to Ventura 13.6.3 using OCLP 1.3.0 without incident. Haven't tried to see if recovery mode works yet.
These videos are really great. I couldn't have made my Macs run so well. I did the update of OpenCore before updating. After, both OPLP and Sonaoma, Safrai was eating up all my CPU cycles. I deleted history ( hate doing that now I have to find all my passwords). Turns out I had my only tab group with Instagram and Facebook causing this. I deleted the tab group, and it returned to normal. Activity monitor was showing when a Safari window was open the former tab group was cosnuming all CPU cycles. After deleting this, the separate URLs run as expected. I haven't yet tried a new tab group.
This version rendered it impossible to ever boot above Catalina on my 5,1 Mac Pro. All the work arounds I’ve tried don’t work yet it was perfectly fine dual booting Catalina and 14.1 under the previous OCLP. I’m convinced it’s done something to the NVRAM.
Thanks again Mr. M. for the excellent videos and support you give so many of us. I updated my late 2013 iMac 27" to OCLP 1.3.0 without a hitch. I downloaded Sonoma 14.2 via Settings and updated without any problems (once downloaded the update took about 20 minutes). So far the system is running quite smooth and has all its bits!
No troubles with using stickers in messaging?
I don't use them as a rule but just tried. If I Ctr+click on a message bubble and choose 'Stickers...' the stickers menu pops up for a few seconds and then disappears :/ If I send a new message then I have full access to stickers, photos, etc.
@@rinysnoeren6283
It takes a lot of time to reboot?
@@maripimentel About 2 minutes.
I am one of those affected by the recovery system not working, but the problem may be bigger. Details:
- Macbook Pro early 2015 16Gb Ram, Intel i7, MacBook 12,1.
- Was running OCLP 1.6.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 quite happily.
- Wanted to update uo 14.1.2, decided to update to OCLP 1.6.2 first.
- OCLP installed ok, did the EFI and kernel patch ok, went into its reboot cycle. Or so I thought- just as the Mac was rebooting, a dialog briefly popped up warning me that the EFI and kernel patches were a mismatch between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2. I couldn't stop the reboot that OCLP initiated.
- on reboot, got to the Apple logo but the boot progress bar stopped at about 40%. Nothing I could do.
- after I tried everything including EFI boot and reinstall Sonoma from the boot picker thats. no progress.
- I created a new install USB on another iMac using OCLP 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 to both Sonoma 14.1.1 (which was what was installed, and then 14.1.2, no progress- Installl appears to run ok, but fails to boot during the second auto reboot during install. That is despite the USB installer being targeted at MacBook 12,1 and had fresh installer downloads from Apple through OCLP. That is weird- a seemingly successful Sonoma reinstall, but won't fully reboot afterwards.
- Atempts to carry out a Time machine recovery after an internet recovery reboot failed because the time machine could not mount that MacBook's backup (see below)
- online (via internet data recovery / terminal) data recovery tools from 2 different data recovery tools both showed that my data was intact on the SSD Macintosh HD container, but that there was no OS, but a second disc name UPDATE was now present and contained a pile of directories msutargetcontroller-mount XXX, a few empty to nearly empty folders and a few files eg nvram.plist and log files. Weirdly the Update drive mounts as a separate drive the full size as Mackintosh HD. /dev mount funnies?
My drastic solution so far is to:
- remove the MacBook SSD and insert it into a new OCW Envoy Pro 1A and examine it on another Mac. The data and structure is intact, so can be recovered. As explained below, the time machine backups were not available, so this original copy is vital. The Envoy drive also mounts the UPDATE drive which Disc utility reports as the full SSD as well as the Mackintosj HD partition.
- I will install an M.2 SSD mounted via a Sintech adapter on the MacBook (I've used them before- recommended!), and install everything afresh.
- Bought a newer MacBook Pro Silicon ver, but it could not recover the older MacBook Time Machine backups (see below).
! Ventura and Sonoma have turned on Time Machine encryption by default in the Time Machine settings. This means that if you lose your Mac, you cannot restore to a new Mac. I use a 3Tb Apple Airport Extreme Time machine and its been bombproof as a way to recover a crashed MacBook/iMac over the years. Knowing your Time Machine device passwords is not enough- the backup is most likely double encrypted- once by the Mac, and again by the Time Machine. As far as I can find, and tried many ways, only the original Mac can get the data. Dunno what happens when the original MacBook is eventually restored with a fresh SSD and OS- I have yet to find out.
Lessons learned:
- OCLP does glitch. This has been my worst experience since I started using it about 3 years ago. Be cautious even though OCLP is now much easier to use and understand.
- Turn time machine encryption at the Mac- it's now enabled by default. A stupid idea to only make a backup set available to the original Mac. Once turned off, I understand that Time then goes your backup set and decrypts the encrypted whole set which will make those backups available is you need to recover to another Mac.
- Dont trust anything.
- I probably missed another recovery option?
A different question to put to the OCLP community: has the APFS driver in OCLP been updated to a version that supports a Fusion drive? I'd like to update my iMac to a new MacOS so I can run software that after recent year's OS updates won't run the latest versions of software that require a newer OS. I've asked this question before and even on the latest OCLP, the EFI/disk selector still shows both the fusion drive's SSD and HD, but not the fusion drive itself. Deciding which EFI to update with OCLP, or both, is unclear- forums, Reddit etc provide no clarity or certainty. OCLP 1.2.2 still hashes 'problemm". If I get it wrong on either drive, the synthesised fusion drive is toast. Any authoritative ideas?
tested on iMac 27" 3,3 GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core AMD Radeon R9 M290 2 GB mid 2015, Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81); all good.
I need the original graphics card to install it on my 2010 mac pro, it supports multiple video monitors, for better work flexibility I need two monitors. My most sincere congratulations for your work, I am very impressed by your knowledge and skills, I love my computer and I don't want to get rid of it !!!! millions of thanks !!!!
To whom it may concern: I updated my late 2012 Mac Mini (was running OCLP 1.3.0 already) successfully to Sonoma 14.2.1 - as usual, it needed a manually started root patching via OCLP and another reboot before everything was up and going again. But now it‘s fine. ✌🏻
Are these issues normal with previous macOS releases before 14, or are they occurring more frequently this year? Feels like Apple is intentionally trying to cause as many problems as possible.
Hi, could you ask Dortania if it can alert that there is a new OCLP even if the app is not open? It can alert it perhaps by checking its servers everyday (it can be set, the time to check even in the OCLP setting). Thank you. God bless.
Thank you for the very informative video.
Not just the Recovery, but also USB installation disk is not booting if made with the OCLP v1.2.0 or later. I had to reinstall OpenCore on the USB disk from OCLP v1.1.0 to be able to boot from the USB installation disk.
How to revert the boot legacy patcher update back because I was waiting for the video and since it comes a little late in the evening yesterday i did as usual going first on updating my legacy patcher before updating the new version of macos but my mac mini got stuck there in the apple logo with half bar since yesterday.How can I solve it please☹️🙏🏾
wipe the drive, clean install OS.
12:29 After listening to you saying no problem with 2012 mac mini, I tried it on mine. Installing OCLP 1.3.0 was fine. Then I tried updating Sonoma from 14.0 to 14.2 and eventually got a black screen. From Disk Utility the Startup SSD disappeared. What left was the Macintosh HD. I need to take out the SSD from the MacMini Server 6,2 and use another Mac to First Aid the partition and Erase it, put it back and restore from Time Machine backup. I found something strange! TM used to back up both internal drive. But now obviously OCLP EFI booted up drive did not have TM backup. Only the non-Oclp drive in the TM backup. It could be a big issue if my observation is confirmed.
iMac 21,5" 2011 with Ventura and latest patches : still not working : any app like Apple TV, Netflix etc ( only via webbrowsers ) google maps or Apple Maps ( dark screen instead of map ) , photos in native Photos app : preview photos not possible after while .
I'm glad you keeping us informed about these updates.
But where can I suggest a fix for iMovie in the next update?
I have a iMac 7.1 with Sonoma and the OpenCore Legacy has somehow cause iMovie to crash every time I try to create a new movie.
Any suggestions?
Seeing that Sonoma background running at a skippy 10 frames a second, in this video, has convinced me that “I’m good”. I’ll keep my 2012 on its old operating system. Proper retro style. I’ll just use a proper M1 for newer OSs. 😂
Thanks for the great video! Question - do you have a video that covers how to make bootable backups of OCLP macOS installs on unsupported macs using something like SuperDuper or CCC? Is there some trick to get this to work? Is it even possible do you know?
Hi, Sonoma working fine on an old 2011 mac. Needed to clear the NVRAM to restore Bt connectivity.
Warning OCLP 1.3.0 (only OCLP update) made my macOS Ventura crash (on MBP retina 15 mid-2012) when trying to login, infinite spinning. And on top of that macOS recovery is bust. So i did a fresh install, first to Catalina, then to Sonoma, now works great🎉 always have your important stuff backed up people!
Mr. Macintosh, like your videos, IMHO, you group too many fixes in one video, it would be nice if you broke a couple out as independent videos (such as a simple install/upgrade), would cause less confusion. As for myself, I'm sticking with OCLP 1.2.1 and Sonoma 14.0. It works just fine and since it is installed on a secondary iMac 2015 I see no need to risk upsetting the current work flow.
Hey Mr. Macintosh, did you test if the firewire connection is working after this upgrade was installed on a Macbook Pro Mid 2012? I am using an audio interface based on firewire and I don't want to miss that.
Thanks for this useful informative video. OS 14.2 was working flawlessly on my early 2013 map until I shut it down. Turning it on again I noticed that it was slow and too discovered graphics were missing. I reinstalled the PDK again, rebooted and now it's working flawlessly again. Will I have to install the PDK each time after I turn the computer OFF?
Excellent work, thanks
When I get to installing from the boot usb installer I created I get a message saying “this installer is damaged”. I reformatted and created it repeatedly, it says verifying and says it’s been created every time but when it gets to installing Sonoma it says the installer “is damaged”. I used opencore 1.3.0 2014 MacBook Pro A-1278
Updated OCLP to 1.3.0 then tried applying the latest Ventura and Safari update (didn't want to risk Sonoma just yet). On reboot iMac 15.1 doesn't see keyboard or mouse and keeps jumping from on sign screen to another. Wish I hadn't done it now!
The new update made my macbook pro mid 2015 run more smoother and quiter than ventura and early upgrade of Sonoma.
*run smoother (because the -er suffix in "smoother" already means "more")
*quieter
Alternatively, you could also say "run more smoothly and quietly."
I don't think correcting someone's grammar is helping anyone in the way you might be intending. Maybe you could help with a solution to their tech problem?@@alvallac2171
Downloaded OCLP 1.3.0 onto my 2007 iMac but it will not run. Tried different unzip utilities thinking it didn’t unpack properly but it just crashes on startup attempt.
Ouch. So if we didn’t watch this video until after trying to go to 1.3 without doing the Sonoma update thick and now at 1/3 white loading bar any fix? I have access to a hard drive on my Mac if that helps
After updating Ventura, DMG and Zip files do not work. File damaged. Some help?
I've already run commands in the terminal and the problem continues
Thx again for the detailed upgrade video. I've been trying to follow the steps, but unfortunetaly it didn't work for me.. I've this MacPro5,1, upgraded with NVMe drives and I can't to seem it get it to boot from the NVMe since I upgraded from OLCP 0.6.8 to 1.0.0 Every update I hope it get fixed, but without success so far. I looks like I'm missing the drivers at boot time, so Iguess it's a matter of getting them included in the EFI build, but I couldn't figure out how yet. If you know of some handy resource online I could check out to get this resolved, that would be awesome. For now, I keep booting from my external USB install disk, which isn't great, but at least it works :)
Mr. Macintosh, I'm stuck on bootloader 0.6.5 and I can't seem to get an update to stick. Running big sur with open core on my mac mini 6,2 2012. I've reset NVRAM and then reinstalled with an installer created with 1.4.3 and still no success. Hoping you might be able to help? Thanks in advance for any advice.
This is what I'm running iMac 12,2 - 32GB of RAM - SSD 1Tb - Nvidia Quadro K4000M - Sonoma 14.2.1 - i7 3.4GHZ Quad Core - OCLP 1.3.0. And I'm experiencing video glitches when streaming video from a friend on Discord, this weird purple filter on photo booth over the recording image as well in Zoom. Though UA-cam through Google Chrome seems fine. Anyone experience this?.
Do you know if the OCLP team has added support for target display mode? It worked in Ventura but not in Sonoma.
I created the USB with Sonoma, restarted the mac with option key and all I get is a black screen so I cannot select boot options. Any ideas? Running CMP 2012 with RX580.
Having just spent 3 days scrambling to recover from this "update", I will suggest anyone considering performing this, back up your data and prepare for the worst. I have no idea what happened, but upon rebooting subsequent to updating OCLP from 1.2 to 1.3, my 2012 MacBook Pro Ventura 13.6.1 hung 1/3 of the way through the boot process and refused all methods suggested to proceed. Tried all command line tricks and KDK insertion. OS recovery failed with "OS major version unrecognized" error. Attempting updating OS to 13.6.2 failed also, "The volume cannot be downgraded" error. Swapped SSD, clean install 13.6.2 failed Migration Assistant refused to allow migration to an older OS. But it wasn't. It was only through swapping SSDs and clean installing Sonoma 14.2 that boot was restored and Migration assistant allowed migration from prior disk.
Lesson learned for me - again. NEVER trust ANY update/upgrade, seemingly trivial or not, OS or OCLP.
I am new to this and I plan to upgrade my Air 2011 to OCLP Monterey. Are there any new changes or post-install I have to do in the current OCLP 1.3.0? Also, Do I need to bother with the KDK issue? I do not know what it is or what system it affects. Thank you
I tried to make it, but no sucess. I got black screen after the process. I have no idea whats happening. Any ideas?
I seem to be stuck on 1.1.0, MBP Mid 2012, and the OS is now 14.2. It wants to update to 1.3 and says it is successful every time I do it, but it is still at 1.1.0. Any help appreciated.
another great video thanks❤
Thank you for another excellent video. I need some help with my MacBookPro 11,5 from 2015. Ventura 13.6.1 was running well including Parallels 19.2.0 for Windows 11. After OCLP 1.3.0 I decided to update to Sonoma 14.2. The update using USB went well and Sonoma is running as expected without any major issues. However Parallels is now only working partially. The start menu of Windows 11 only shows icons without any text. Dropdown menus also icons without text. EDGE is black screen. However one old Windows 7 program is running ok. I guess it has to do with the drivers for the GPU´s ? Do you have any suggestions?
For info I have tried installing fresh copy of Sonoma 14.2 on an external SSD, installed fresh Parallels 19.2 and with same negative result. Also tried reinstalling Parallels on the internal drive as well as installing again Windows 11. No luck. Is it possible to transfer drivers working in Ventura to the Sonoma OS? And how?
I have an iMac 12,1 (21" 2011) and after successfully installed Sonoma 14.2.1, bluetooth and ethernet aren't working. I've run the Post-install Root Patch, but no-go. Any clue, please, on how to solve it? Thank you!
On MacBook Air A1466 I'm stuck on the log in page , charging bar ... Any idea on how I can repair ? thx !
Hey Mr. Macintosh! Any news on 14.2.1 running well with OCLP?
Sir need your information, I did successfully patch my 2010 MBP (upgrade SSD and 16GB) to Ventura,, I tried to install steam, the steam does not work fully normal but I can install FM24 through it,, somehow I can running FM24, it's stuck at black screen and not loading any further....
My mac pro 2012 is stuck on apple logo for hours after sanoma upgrade from ventura
Hey! I upgraded to Sonoma via OpenCore Legacy Patcher and now trying to downgrade back to Ventura.
Is there a video about that, because I’m facing some problems with that
Thank you for great tutorial. My PRO 5.1 works fine with Monterey installed with one "problem". OCLP is updated on version 1.3.0. When turned on, after few minutes there is one OCLP POPup with warning that is version 1.3.0 installed, but boot version is 0.6.8. Did I make something wrong? How can I fix this?
Second question is that Monterey is giving me upgrade on 12.7.2 version. Can I make this without OCLP or not?
Thanks once again Mr. Macintosh. I am successfully running 14.2 on my Late 2013 27 in iMac. Your work is very much appreciated!
Think I followed everything in order for 2013 Mac Pro and it all installs OK but at the login screen can only type 2 chars of the password before it restarts the login screen. A fresh install for Sonoma 14.2 worked fine. Anyone met this so I know what to do next time? Thanks
I had a similar problem with my 5,1 Mac Pro. Another user above suggests a clean install with a bootable USB installer.

Hi, I need help. I run my wifes mid 2012 MBP 13inch on OCLP and got a promp to update to 1.3.0. I did it and followed all the steps like on you video (only 1.3.0 update not Mac OS) (still on first Sonoma public version (not beta)) and now the machine is stuck on boot. Apple logo and progress bar stuck at 1/5... What to do now? I tried recovery, safe mode, it's as if nothing works...
Please help if possible.
Thank you in advance.
I was wondering why i keep getting an error when trying to open Garage band. (unable to initialize Graphics)
If it’s ok with you wondered if you could clarify a couple of points for me (and anyone else wondering too)
First, are you saying the latest OCLP allows legacy AMD GPU’s to work ? And if so on all or which OSX versions? Am just upgrading an old mid 2011 iMac with some new hardware, including the highest spec GPU natively supported (without extra work) which is AMD HD6790M 2GB - So if it won’t work and defaults over to CPU for graphics it’s not worth me doing that upgrade, or leave it stuck on High Sierra.
Second, do you know if OCLP can provide a route to install software which check to see if your Mac has an M1 CPU or later? There’s no reason the software in question should not work on an Intel CPU but site won’t let me download it without 🤬 Any help much appreciated 👍
I can not find a way to download the open core legacy patcher.... under assets where its suppose to be found... the circle is just spinning.....
anyone know how to get Monterey onto a 2010 MBP 7,1 that has a blank formated apfs guid SSD inside it?
It broke my Mac 😢 have to reinstall Mac OS from scratch
I have a 2012 Mac Pro and installed Mac OS 14 using Open Core 1.0 on a separate internal HD. It worked fine. I recently wanted to update so I downloaded the latest Sonoma updater and Open Core Legacy Patcher 1.3. I started over and built the patcher to a reformatted USB installer drive and everything was normal. When I attempt a reboot to the EFI boot loader on my USB stick, it will not show any boot options, just a black screen. Any ideas why I can't get the boot loader to mount?
I Have a Macbook pro Mid 2014 and I cant make it boot from the HD, I need the USB to boot, Can someone help me to fix this? Thank you.
Hey Mr. Macintosh, when I load 1.3 it isn't allowing me to choose a new build. I fixed it before but I can't remember what to do.
Yesterday (Dec 12, 2024), I followed your video for installing Sonoma 14.2 on my late 2013 i5 MBP.
I don't understand this video. Was my install no good? Aside from not playing UA-cam TV in Safari, all seems fine.
What is this video for? Where do I get the update? How do I begin the update? There's lots of jargon here that is over my head.
Question: I keep having an issue where after I do a mac update opencore legacy keeps deleting itself from my computer. it not in the trash and the icon in the menu goes blank. I reinstall it and the copy of the app that should be in the library isn't there anymore. Why is it doing that? I did a build and install on my macs hard drive and once it rebooted the app is gone.
Updated my MBP 17 8,3 and just wondering if there’s a fix for Bluetooth not working.

I have 2017 macbook pro touchBar 15 inch and when try to make a instaler iit failed it says corrupted installer and i cant install macos Sonoma...😩
Should this be done for the 2015 dual graphics MacBook Pro 15 ?
for some reason my 2012 mbp hung up on the reboot in the apple loading screen with zero activity from the hdd.....yes i have the 1.3 update. so rebooted into safe mode and there it said 14.2 so i ran the root patcher then rebooted again and now it works fine.
Since the update to Sonoma, keynote keeps crashing. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have a MacBook pro 15" mid 2015. I reformatted the hard drive, freshly installed the operating system from a USB drive using OCLP and then freshly installed Keynote. Is there anything else I can do?
i had the 1.3.0 update fail so i have sense installed another install to try and get my system back up and running off my primary install --- its a 2017 15” mbp with AMD -- Is there a way to go in and manually install whats needed to the primary volume to sucessfully boot?
Hi there, sorry if this is not the correct place, just installed Sonoma 14.3 on a Macbook Pro 17" 2010 6,1.. all good except Keynote 13.2, numbers and pages are ok... when you create a presentation all ok, when you run it, it just crashes with a non-spinning beachball... have also tried on an iMac 24" early 2008 running Ventura 13.6.1 - exactly the same issue... Please let me know where to post this if it needs to be posted elsewhere..... Many Thanks....

Its like the system freezes and I cant do anything. I have to do a hard reboot to restart my iMac. This happens frequently so i have to do a hard reboot every time. Please help how can I fix this? I have installed the kdk prior to upgrading from ventura. I also have OPLC 1.3.0 and have the root patches installed. Thank you.

hello mr.mcintosh i hope this comment find you well. why is oclp do not detect or show up a pop up window when im updating my macbook via system settings? im using macbook pro 13" early 2015.
If you want to update the OS, do this through OCLP "Create Mac OS Installer" button. Download the OS version you are after, then use OCLP to flash it to USB stick.
Back up your data 3 different locations before attempting update.
System Settings is unaware of OCLP.
