    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    Well that is beyond my knowledge... sounds like BIOS settings. Not sure.

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    I am not sure at what point you are talking about. If you installed Big Sur, did you finish setting up the user account and reach the Big Sur desktop? if yes, after you reboot use your login and PW. Then for auto login you can change it in the System Preferences under Users and Groups, Login...

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    You need to edit the config.plist file and put in your own SMBIOS information under PlatformInfo>Generic. Add your MLB, System SN and SystemUUID. Make sure you are generating and using numbers for iMac19,1.

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    I will take a stab at this... I created a clean new EFI I built on OpenCore 0.7.9 (current version) using the basics from what I see in his configuration, the official OC guide and what I know for Monterey. Give it a try.

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    Not sure but maybe bad install or something with OpenCore settings or bios settings. You should not be prompted about any Firmware. If the install went well, it should have re-booted and you would have been at the point of setting up Monterey and user account. Best thing to do is find someone...

    OK. So for Mojave you are using Clover and that is installed on your NVMe's EFI partition. You will want to keep that untouched for now. Important: I will stop here and note to you. If you are not seeing your internal SATA drive at all while your NVMe is also installed. Check your motherboards...

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    Which guide are you referring to? Also, your OpenCore version (the one you will use for Monterey)... is it the same as what you are using currently for Mojave?

    Help "Choosing startup disk"

    SATA should be fine with Monterey. You don't state which boot loader you are using. Clover or OpenCore? Are you not seeing Monterey as an option? During the install process you should see Macintosh when it is rebooting and working on the install. If you have completely finished installing...

    New MB, Boot Up Crash Loop

    regarding your keyboard. I did noticed in both efi files you uploaded it is not specified... do a command find in ProperTree and search for prev-lang:kbd This is under NVRAM>Add>7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82. Change prev-lang:kbd type to String and the value to en-US:0 (for english)...

    New MB, Boot Up Crash Loop

    Yes if that is the case, you should use the sample.plist file from the OC release you are using. I always start with that as good practice. Will leave this with UtterDisbellief since it is the exact mobo. Thanks

    New MB, Boot Up Crash Loop

    Gigabyte Z490 board using Comet Lake. This may fix some issues... (on my board it will not even boot with this on) (Critical) Under Booter>Quirks, change SetupVirtualMap to False. Fixes SetVirtualAddresses calls to virtual addresses, however broken due to Comet Lake's memory protections. ASUS...

    Well after some more searching, I found something here on tonymacx86 that I had seen over a year ago but had forgotten about... this post from CaseySJ from back in July 2020. Also, instructions from the liquidctl developer here. So now I am learning to use liquidctl and have a script working so...

    [GUIDE] How to use NZXT Kracken AIO Water Coolers on macOS

    Thanks for the tip iDrakus :thumbup: I just purchased and installed an NZXT Kraken x53. I am running Big Sur, VMware 12.x with Windows 10. And for now had to temporary use USBInjectAll.kext (will do new USB remap later). I can use the latest CAM software and I am able to control the RGB but not...

    How to stop Facebook and other sites from tracking you

    I found this thread far too late. I recently almost quit FaceBook because I was in FaceBook Jail for the 5th time this year. Then I thought, they must really love me. I give their employees and algorithms something to do.

    << Solved >> Question About Apple Progress Bar "Progress"

    I mostly get 1/3 of the bar on 1st stage, then right to the desktop. Sometimes I see the second stage, but not often. It is just loading up and the graphical bar either keeps up with it or not. If you have more extensions/drivers/audio plugins etc... to load it will be slower and thus you will...
