After running KextBeast, did you look for those two files in /S/L/E? They should have been there.
Also, you can check System Information again - look for the item "Extensions" under Software. You should also find these Extensions there. It won't tell you a lot though - except that they're present, and where the files are.
No, they were not there. I attached a screenshot of the extensions I saw after I ran KextBeast
When you check for the IP address, click on "Advanced" and look at the "TCP/IP" tab. Does the self-assigned address begin with "169"? If it does, then it's not getting its IP address from the server - it's making it up itself because it's not successfully receiving one from the server.
Yes, it does. How do I fix this?
Your headphones, plugged into the green socket at the back, should work - if the AppleHDA extension is working properly. Have you checked out the Sound preferences - and tried the different output devices you find there?
No there aren't any outputs. I tried running KextBeasts but it did not work.
It would be helpful to everyone who reads your posts if you list your hardware in your profile. Ilearned this lesson myself recently - as soon as I started to ask shilohh for help - so compare with mine if you like.
Sure thing, great idea.
You have taken on quite a task with this build. And while Clover is certainly very good - and shilohh's instructions are great - it's a bit complex, especially if it's your first installation. You might find a UniBeast/MultiBeast install a bit easier to complete successfully. I keep separate copies of my "org.chameleon.boot.plist" and "smbios.plist" files, whenever i make changes.
Yes, I know this is ambitious. but I really needed a computer for editing. Everything has been going fine so far for the most part, so I guess it was worth it. Just Ethernet and sound is messed up.
Great suggestion. Do you keep copies of those files alone? Where can I find these?
Once you've done that, and you're happy with it, make a bootable disk image with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, and keep it safe. If you have the disk space, keep generational disk images as you make changes over time. Better still, put a cloned copy onto an external USB drive, and boot from it when you get into trouble. Using an SSD to do your test setups is a good idea, as it boots and reboots nice and fast.
I have already made a Time Machine back up. Do you think those you suggested would be better? I will try the other programs you have suggested. Are you speaking of just keeping the bare bones of the bootdrive on a USB? Because I already have the entire back up on my external hard drive. I'm a bit afraid of erasing this disk and starting all over with UniBeast and MultiBeast because everything is working so well.
Do you think I could keep my bootdrive on my SSD and create another on the 2TB hard disk? Just to try out
I have a bootdrive of Clover and UniBeast, so don't you think keeping back up external hard drives running both would be good?
Difficult to say if my machines are 'exceptional'. But overclocked to 4.4GHz, I'd say it's as good as an 8-core Mac Pro (tower or cylinder) at doing transcodes for Avid.
My latest one - OS X 10.9.4, CUDA 6.5.14, the 334.02f02 Nvidia web drivers, Blackmagic Desktop Video 10.1.4, Resolve Lite 11 (release version) and Media Composer 8.1 (dongle activated) - it does the jobs I need it to.
I use it for transcoding mostly, so I don't need to push the performance as an edit or grading system - though I do need to see and play back 4K footage (sometimes 5K RED Epic or 6K RED Dragon footage too) through Resolve.
That's why I need fast storage and 6 CPU cores. A 4-core Z77/Z87/Z97 system won't be fast enough, even though the Thunderbolt connectivity would have been useful. The extra PCI lanes that Socket 2011 gives you is also useful for addiing additional PCIExpress cards.
Exchanging personal messages with regard to help on builds is against forum rules, I believe. But if you want to chat on the general topic of DIT work and the production business, then it probably isn't of relevance to most of the people who lurk here. So I suppose that would be OK - unless this is also against the rules, in which case I'll defer to the administrators to tell us so if they're monitoring.
Sure.
I have another question. Earlier you had said my bootdrive was trying to start, but was unable. Do you think I should get a replacement?
Also, if anyone has any tips of where I can learn all of these terms and how to read code, that would be great
