I have GA Z77 D3H rev 1.1 and had that issue; ironically, I don't recall having that issue with OS X before. I'm not sure if this is the actual fix or not, but I went to System Preferences and turned off everything under Energy Saver so that there is no waking up on Ethernet or hard disk...

Yes, I know, but I found it weird. I spent several hours trying to get it to work. I was determined to not reinstall again after my experience with the previous upgrade. I have only had this problem with updating to the last two updates: 10.9.3-4. With the next update, I will use another...

Using a 10.9.2 USB UniBeast install drive, I couldn't boot to get my 10.9.3 update to work for the same issue with kernel panic; so, I ended up reinstalling it with a newly created 10.9.3 USB UniBeast install and had no problem. Now, with 10.9.4, I faced the same issue with updating from a...

You should check your bios and see if there are settings for legacy devices. Enable USB legacy support and disable USB backwards compatibility if those options are available on your MB. Make sure that you added legacy support in UniBeast installation option.

I personally use Comodo AV. It does a decent job, IMO, and doesn't cause any significant CPU/resource load issues. To be fair, the issue that the OP has is often computer specific. There is likely something on the computer that just doesn't get along with your AV. I've seen this over the years...

External USB wifi units are notorious for breaking sleep and causing system freezes and other complications. If possible, just get a compatible internal card and save yourself the trouble. I only used the external units until I got my replacement. After that, all it does is sit on my desk...

I was able to get an LG BlueRay Burner to work using a hex editor on the DVDPlayback file. It was quite simple to do and worked right away.

You can do multi-booting depending how you want to set things up. Specify your desired setup.

Seagate GoFlex NAS works quite well. I have a 1TB single drive for network storage. Seagate includes files to install onto the formatted NTFS drive to allow read/write access from Macs, and backs up Time Machine without any problems. I haven't had any issue with file losses, corruption, etc...

Be more specific and list the make and model of the board and the CPU. We need to know what generation is the i5.

What were the specs of the other computer that you tried it on? Updating the bios wouldn't hurt since your board is quite old.

There is an outright possibility that this old board won't work with 10.9. I have that feeling that it won't; but, I could be proven wrong.

You said you followed the guide. Are you sure that you used relevant flags such as IGPlatformID and IGPEnabler? Did you check your BIOS to see if you have the proper settings? I do know that not turning off virtualization can cause a hangup. I am a bit confused. Your profile says that you...

OP by Astralv Personal preference and affordability come to mind. If you already have a Mac, it makes sense to just buy the hardware to run ProTools. I'm sure it will be less expensive than buying a PC and then buying the hardware to run it or vice versa. Makes sense? Also consider that the...

You can also use a NAS in NTFS format and then add write access for Macs with software such as Paragon NTFS for Mac. I am currently using this scheme to copy files from OS X 10.9 to my NAS. I am using a GoFlex NAS and it is working great! I also use a FAT 32 drive for Linux, Windows, and Mac...

It's your choice. Probably it is best to use a larger SSD (256 GB) to allow plenty of room for all of your programs and perhaps ample room for other files that your either create or download. You can then use the 500 GB drive to offload data as your SSD gets full. I don't know if hybrids are...

This is just a suggestion to make things a little bit more simple in the last two steps of DerGoliHerr's post. You can copy the boot1h file to the root directory on your USB installer drive and issue these shortened commands: 1) cd /Volumes/"USB Drive" --- you need the...

I think you mean the boot loader or OS selctor screen, not the UniBeast screen. The black and white screens are part of the boot-up process. As far as I know, there is no way to get rid of them, unless there is a boot loader out there that bypasses them. I don't know for sure since I have...

I have Atheros AR5B195 - combo WiFi/Blutooth 3.0 (AR9285/AR3011) I don't use the Blutooth but will need it when I acquire Blutooth devices. I really want to get an ac standard card when they are more mature in the market.

What are the specs of your laptop? I assume you have a ProBook. If you have switchable graphics, you should make sure that it is turned off while in OS X. I experimented with it and found that it caused my system to increase at least 10 degrees C before I even opened any applications.
