Thank you. I'll try that and let you know.

If I eject the usb, the message is "Operation not permitted" If I mount the usb, the message is "Resource Busy" Could you help please. Thanks

Got it booting. Changing sound out to line out caused a kp, so have to live with headphone out. I have tried every single driver on MB without success. Please help

I am having an issue with my Sierra install. First I have a Mountain Lion install which has been running solidly until recently (random freezes, hangs etc - which began when I tried to go from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5, I downgraded). With my boot sad (120 gb filling up), I decided to get a new 250 gb...

Anything that I should try that I haven't? Any help at all? Please. After years on OS X, every other OS is not just terribly annoying, I am about half as productive!

Hi everyone, I got my hands on a DellXPS8300. The configuration is: Core i5 2320 (HD2000) H67 MB (make not known) 8 GB RAM Zotac GT730 (I think 1 GB, not sure) I have tried installing (with the appropriate Unibeast): Sierra (Clover, UB 7.1.1) El Capitan (Clover, UB 6.2.0) Mavericks (Chameleon...

Hi, I hope you have your hack up and running. I've been running hacks almost ever since it was possible. Some of the experiments - specially on cheap pc hardware - ended up in catastrophic crashes, so here's what I've learnt: 1. Blindly follow the tonymacx86 recommendation on hardware specs...

My machine at home runs Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Extremely stable, except that once in a while I lose the keyboard/mouse. Unplug, replug and it works again. Would update, except that we may not be able to use cs6. Also Mail is terrible in Yosemite and El-C and I honestly prefer ML's interface...

Thanks to both of you for your advice. I know that they weren't the most outstanding looking macs, let alone today! But it just so happens that I have one in my possession and it is just gathering dust! I did a little more research and I think that the big issue is going to be not space...

Dear All, I built my first hack over a year ago and so far it has been very stable: thanks to all the help I got at TonyMac - and by following their recommended parts list. Great experience. I now want to try something more unconventional. I have an old PowerMac 8600 sitting at home -...

Going Bald and mate94, Thanks (if that's ok with mate94 ;-)). I have been looking around for those two cards at dealers here. I can't find a 5770 anywhere - dealers in India only seem to have the newest or the cheapest, never older mid range cards! I could find a gtx 650 (about 30% more...

Hi, I'm running FCX (trial) with a 3770 - which uses an hd 4000. No problems so far, though I haven't stretched it too much. A

Hi everyone. A big thank you to the the people who started this site and to the people moderate it and populate it. It has been wonderful in getting my first build up and running (I'll do a proper write up using the template this weekend). Right now, I am writing this from my hack, built...

Hi, It seems that Snow Leopard won't work with Ivy Bridge processors/mb unless you have a hacked kernel. I don't feel confident enough to do that (besides, it's against tonymac forum rules to discuss that). Would suggest that you go straight to Lion/ML. Don't know how that will work either...
