    Issues unmounting my EFI since updating to Ventura

    Me, too. It requires me to click the "Cancel" button a few more times, but doesn't bother me much as I'm not constantly mounting/unmounting my EFI folder now that everything works.

    Mojave to Ventura Wi-fi Unstable

    Well, there were no suggestions, so I ended up replacing my trusty Archer T9E wi-fi card with a Fenvi 919, which resolved my bluetooth issues as well.

    Mojave to Ventura Wi-fi Unstable

    Hello. Has there been a fundamental change in how macOS supports wi-fi adapters in versions higher than Mojave (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura)? I've been using the TP-Link Archer T9E wi-fi PCI card that was recommended in the Buyer's Guide when I built this hack. It uses the...

    [Solved] Slow WiFi after Ventura update!

    @theruck , I'm also having slow/intermittent wi-fi after upgrading from Monterey to Ventura 13.0.1; wifi worked fine in Monterey. I'm using a TP-Link Archer AC1900 WiFi Card PCIe Adapter (T9E), which has a Broadcom BCM4360 chipset. The Dortania link you provided says, "Currently BCM943224...

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    Got to testing it more tonight. Bluetooth was working in Monterey but is borked for now. I've read that it's not specific to my configuration and that Bluetooth still hasn't been fully worked out in the BrcmPatchRAM releases, so no big surprise. I can wait. :) Update: After further testing...

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    @Feartech : I'm a happy pup. Received and installed a new Western Digital NVMe drive last night and used Carbon Copy Cloner's "Legacy" bootable option to clone my Monterey startup drive, then copied the EFI folder from my startup drive and applied your suggested fixes. Reset CMOS and NVRAM...

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    I found a handful of posts but nothing definitive on why I have SSDT-USB-Reset.aml in my ACPI folder. I'll take the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach and leave it in when I try the migration. I don't have "SSDT-UIAC.aml" so I'm good on that front. I'm less than a week into upgrading...

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    I'm sorry to impose further upon you, Feartech. I didn't realize that I had followed UtterDisbelief's original "A Beginner's Guide to Creating a Custom USB SSDT" and not the new beginner's guide until I saw that my EFI folder contains a "USBMap.kext" that the original guide generated, and not...

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    Wow. Thank you! I'll have to brush up on @UtterDisbelief 's guide, but I already have a hand-drawn map from my first go-around so it should go more smoothly this time. I'll give this a go when my other work slows down a bit. Thanks so much for your help!

    Problem with Updating the System (since Big-Sur 11.2).

    Hi, Feartech: I just got my hack running smoothly on Monterey and was contemplating upgrading to Ventura once the initial bugs are ferreted out. Until I read your reply, I didn't know that Ventura doesn't support Skylake processors like mine. I did some searching and it seems that Ventura...

    [HOW TO] OpenCore 0.7.1 > 0.7.2 differences

    [tl;dr] Although it's late, I just wanted to express my appreciation for your post. Last week I updated OC from 0.6.4 to 0.7.5 and was immediately unable to boot from my NVMe and SATA SSDs. I followed many rabbit trails thinking that it was some combination of OC updates and the well-known...

    << Solved >> Boot Menu Loop with OpenCore 0.6.4 on Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 (Skylake)

    To be honest, I didn't try any other Ethernet kext combinations once I confirmed that the Realtek kext was working with my system. Maybe this is due to a difference between our motherboards (my Z170 and your Z170X). Fortunately, my sound kept working when I switched from OC 0.6.3 -> 0.6.4...

    << Solved >> Boot Menu Loop with OpenCore 0.6.4 on Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 (Skylake)

    Hello. I finally got things going and posted a follow-up message, but I guess the moderators decided not to approve it. I'm attaching my working OpenCore 0.6.4 EFI folder in case it helps someone (with "x"s in place of my actual MLB, SystemSerialNumber, and SystemUUID). As for the zipped...

    iMovie crashes when starting // what's causing this?

    Thank you! I just did some major upgrades (Clover -> OpenCore, and then High Sierra -> Mojave) and ran across this same problem. In my case, iMovie started working when I changed the IGPU setting from "Enabled" to "Automatic." I figured I'd go half-way in case there are apps that would...
