Hey guys, I think this is my first non hackintosh related question on this forum. I own the first series of MacBook 12"s fully-loaded and on El Capitan which serves me well as a super portable low performance machine for on the go. Can anyone give me any insight onto whether or not my machine...

Background: I've finally gotten my dual boot behaving properly after a bit of work but I have one last wish. Problem: I can now use the Startup Disk pane in OS X to tell Clover to boot Win 7 and it works fine. When I'm in Windows, is there any way I can do the reverse to get back into El...

Solution: After solving my other issue with getting the right Clover entry to load up that would properly load my Windows in the first place, I am able to utilize the Startup Disk preference pane feature in OS X. Selecting and restarting with the install I want will pass off the default OS to...

Solution: I installed the UEFI BIOS upgrade for my originally legacy motherboard. I was able to get more boot entry flexibility and was able to choose the correct version of Clover that'd boot my Windows properly. That being said, I think my issue may have been mixed up, I think I had Clover in...

[Solved] NVIDIA Driver Won't Load Issue: New NVIDA card won't reboot the NVIDIA driver when toggling it on in the OS. It only has 1 display and is low res. Solution: Change system profile from 5,1 to 3,1. Background: I purchase a GTX 970 to replace my old AMD card so I can support VR. I...

[Solved partially] El Capitan and Windows 7 Legacy Dual Boot Broke Update: Despite 99% of the research I did suggesting the cause was a corrupt boot sector/MBR, the issue appears to be isolated to my Clover boot loader because upon attempting to boot with a Chimera USB Win 7 booted perfectly...

Hey! I got my El Capitan Clover installation working great but there are a few kinks I'm trying to work out. The bootloader resolution is low and the wrong aspect ration for my screen. I'm using an ATI card. Everything works fine in OS X. All the support I seem to be able to find on this...

I recently upgraded my machine to 10.9.4. from Mountain Lion and when I use GraphicsEnabler=Yes on my Gigabyte 6870 I only get 1 monitor working versus 2. I've been toying with some different boot.plist settings. It looks like it might be working right with GE=No and one of the ATI Configs but...

Folks, Okay so it all started when my ethernet died, not a new story for some of you. One day my girlfriend was annoying me about 4 months ago and I toggled my iMessage off in Messages. Womp womp. Broke with that usual annoying error message. With little time I tried to make some attempts at...

While I realize this isn't a new topic, I've read all there is about it but nothing has seemed to fix it. PROBLEM: My GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 on-board ethernet won't show up in Windows or OSX as a device AND Smart LAN in the BIOS yields no response at all. FIXES I'VE TRIED: Now I've...

I recently built a hackintosh with a GA-Z68XP-UD3 F10 board and I'm having a few different issues while booting: 1. It seems 50% of the time I reboot the BIOS startup process will start off slow and hang at different points while it is starting up or POSTing. It usually stops when the...

*Update: Well someone just told me about bytecontroller, http://bytetastic.com/, which is a basically a free and easier way to set up iTunes controls on your keyboard. I still recommend using ControllerMate in conjunction for the native volume controls as bytecontroller only controls the iTunes...

Some time ago I edited the IO80211Family.kext to run my WPN311 wifi card on Snow Leopard. This has always worked great. I recently built a new system and put this card in and now finally have a motherboard that will go to sleep and wake. The first thing I noticed when I tested this though is...

Hey, I am running a Gigabyte 6870 card and I am suspicious the fan is not budging from it's idle speed when it is under intensive conditions that would normally warrant it speeding up. (ie. World of Warcraft on it's highest performance setting) This is my second hackintosh and I am a little...

Is there any need for this? I recently set up a CustoMacPro and was going to set up a post of the installation but it went so smooth I figure I should do something more useful. I just set up volume and iTunes controls to mimic the apple keyboard F-key shortcuts using Controllermate and was...
