    Stuck at boot screen

    I've been thinking about this for a few days, and I've decided to just give up on the Hackintosh. The only thing I ever needed it for was Final Cut Pro 7 and, since Apple killed it and replaced it with iMovie Pro (aka Final Cut X, which no post houses use that I am aware of)... I guess I don't...

    Stuck at boot screen

    ...aaaand it's dead. I went into the mobo BIOS, set everything to defaults and tried booting off the UniBeast install USB. Still got the boot loop anyway. So, I decided to just go into my Snow Leopard install and do some work. Nope. Wouldn't load. I went back to the BIOS and...

    Stuck at boot screen

    "optimized default"? In your mobo BIOS? I guess I'll try that, since it's the only thing I didn't do on the guide. I'm nearly 100% certain that I have never changed my mobo BIOS settings from factory default anyway, but I'll try it and see if it solves the problem.

    Stuck at boot screen

    We can't be the only people who have experienced this. BTW, I am a freelance video editor and I have a project to do. I was hoping to upgrade to ML and edit the project in Adobe Premiere CC but I guess I'll do it in FCP7 in SL first, then nuke the system if there isn't a solution by then.

    Stuck at boot screen

    No, Mountain Lion has never booted on my system. I am currently running Snow Leopard. I am trying to run UniBeast from a USB stick at boot as detailed on the install guide page since I don't want to lose my current 10.6.8 install if I can avoid it. All relevant hardware is listed in my sig...

    Stuck at boot screen

    (bump) Nobody has had this issue? I'm stuck right now; if I can't get past this point, I'm either going to have to stay on Snow Leopard OR nuke the whole thing and start over, which I'd prefer not to do since I have tons of stuff installed that I'd have to re-install and authorize.

    Profile Build Signatures: Request Additional Components

    Can you please add this motherboard? I have been using an ASRock X58 Extreme motherboard in my build. It uses the INtel X86 chipset. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X58%20Extreme/

    Stuck at boot screen

    I successfully created a UniBeast USB stick for Mountain Lion. When I reboot the system, I get the "boot chooser" screen which shows my hard drives and the cute little cartoon mountian lion and snow leopard (which is my currently installed and fully-functioning OS). When I select the UniBeast...

    Do you own a real Mac?

    The only Mac thing I have owned is an iPod Classic 80gb. I also bought the Snow Leopard OS and the Final Cut suite (before Final Cut X was released). And I think I bought an album or two from iTunes. After using Macs (Mac Pros) at my last few jobs over the last 4 years, I have decided they...

    Migrate Hackintosh to new HDD

    Same issue as OP: I'm using MultiBeast 3.9.1. -I tried using the Disk Utility in Mac. Didn't produce a bootable disc. -I downloaded Carbon Copy and used it to copy old 320gb HD onto new 1TB HD. Tried to use MultiBeast on the 1TB after cloning was complete. I can't; MultiBeast won't let me...

    Final Cut Pro users here?

    Update: through sheer dumb luck, I discovered that it was my MBox 2 USB device that was causing the issues. Once I unplugged it and left it unplugged, all the application hangs stopped.

    iBoot + Multibeast problems [SOLVED]

    Re: iBoot + Multibeast = fail? Update: After having the hanging issue for quite a while, I randomly tried unplugging my MBox 2 when I wasn't using it for Pro Tools. Voila! No hangs! System runs smoothly in 32 bit mode now.

    Avid users?

    Update: I installed Windows 7 on the same machine and run MC5 on that. Turns out all my Mac problems seem to be related to having the MBox2 connected. Once stumbled on that solution, everything's been stable.

    Final Cut Pro users here?

    I tried to get a Mobo that some people here were using (Intel BOXDP55WB LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel), but it didn't work with the processor I wanted. And the video card I chose because it is supposedly close to what comes from Mac in a MacPro build. In retrospcect, I should have done...
