Thank you, that was a fast reply... looks like its a common problem from the Photos app, related to the igpu... i will digg deeper and keep you updated:

anyway thank you for your great support and explications, i have never had a better hackintosh experience (now my third machine)

Weird. I don't sync my photos with iCloud... Please let us know if you find a fix.

Impressive

You can use a DW1560. It requires a few kexts but works fine and is about the same size as the stock Wi-Fi card. I use a DW1560 in my laptop.

I was thinking of finding an actual Apple wireless card, but not sure if there's one that fits.

None that I'm aware of. The three that I know of are all taller than the stock card.

Hey guys!
I installed HS on my setup a few weeks ago and everything is working very smooth including iMessages and FaceTime. I followed pastrychef’s guide for coffee lake. The only issue I am currently facing is, I bought a native support BCM94360CD from OSXWiFi a few days ago. WiFi and Bluetooth worked just fine with no hiccups. But I have been having the following problems:

1. When I am signed into my iCloud, I can't airDrop to my own devices. But, when I sign out of my iCloud account on the hackintosh, the airDrop starts detecting my devices.
2. Handoff and Continuity is showed as a option and also shows that its active, but none of the features work. I am on the same WiFi and everything is all set but even then it just doesn't work. I tried using CAT, and this is what the system diagnostics show:

I can't seem to find the problem here. Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you!

I have a serial which does NOT match a real iMac, I will also post up my EFI folder JIC.

A really dumb question, I've been trying to run VGtab-en.app I downloaded from the front page, I run the program, choose the setting for fans and voltage. I then click on generate control information, and nothing happens. it does not output anything.
The strange this is I got it to work yesterday night.

It's driving me batty..

Any ideas???

Hello guys

I followed this build and so far everything works but one mayor thing doesnt:
My UP2715K gets displayed as two seperate 2560x1440 Monitors. Does anybody know, how two activate the multispan Mode so I can get 5k resolution ?
I use a Vega64 nitro+.
Before it was working with a GTX 1080Ti and with the multispan Flag set in clover.

I really have no idea why you are experiencing this anomaly... I use AirDrop quite often and I'm always logged in to iCloud because I use Messages all day long.

I think you should start a thread in the Networking sub-forum and see if anyone has a solution.

Maybe a Safari extension is blocking it?

I've never tried 5K. Maybe the follow thread can be of some help for you:
