Hi everybody! I have been using iMac 14,2 for over a year, but could never generate an SSDT because Piker Alpha's ssdtPRGen script gave me a "board-id not supported by Sandy Bridge" error. Recently, when helping me troubleshoot Bluetooth issues, Edhawk suggested that I was using the wrong...

Hi Edhawk, I am astonished by your kindness in taking your time to provide such a thorough look at my system, and the corresponding advices for my messy config. Thank you very much for your patience. The second CLOVER folder apparently belonged to a failed Clover update, I have deleted it now...

Hi there! I still haven't managed to make it work, so I guess I'll be returning this adapater. ¿Could anybody recommend me what to look out for to buy another adapter? Considering that this CSR adapter did not work out of the box for me (or at all), and I also had tried another BT 4.0 that also...

Just to let you all know, I have also tried adding the product and vendor ID to both the CSRBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext and CSRHIDTransitionDriver.kext whitin IOBluetoothFamily.kext in S/L/E but the Bluetooth wasn't recognized either.

Hi Edhawk, thanks for your kind reply! I hadn't realized CSR stood for Cambridge Silicon Radio (facepalm). I hadn't created a custom USBPorts.kext but I have now, following UtterDisbelief's guide. I have also removed the GenericUSBXHCI.kext I was using to make USB3 work just in case. I...

Hi there! I am trying to make a generic Bluetooth adapater work under Catalina. The bluetooth adapters recommended in the buyer's guide are not available in my country, so instead I bought this one which was advertised to work on macs. When I plugged it without any modifications, nothing...

Hi skiarte! My temporal and quite unorthodox fix for USB 3.0 is plugging devices in both ports, and then they work. So, if I need to connect a USB 3.0 hard drive, I plug it first and nothing happens, then I plug a regular USB 2 pendrive in the other (USB 3.0) port, and both devices show up...

Hi there! Sadly, nope. I just set a reminder that I should take care of this and then I never did. The system has been quite stable since then, not completely though. I get full on system freezes every now and then. I don't even remeber if this was related, but most of the times USB3 devices...

Hi there! I've recently upgraded my system to Catalina and I have arrived to a very stable result. In my past systems I never fiddled with SSDTs myself, although I think I did choose the Sandy Bridge i7 SSDT in Multibeast for my High Sierra install. This time, I came across the concept in the...

Perfect, I'll definitely go the AMD route then. For maximum comptability with today's versions of OSX, should I just pick a model from the buyer's guide or are there specific models or features I should look out for? (Like Kepler-based with nVidia cards?) Thanks again!

Hi there! So, I've been reading you carefully but I am a little confused now. First of all, thanks for the processor replacement tip but sadly that Intel Xeon is not available in my country. I'm understanding that getting an Ivy Bridge one would be an option, but I'm thinking that would be too...

Excellent, I will try all this out. I am very grateful for your support, happy new year to you and all the community.

This sounds great. I mostly use Adobe Premiere, occasionally After Effects. I am seeing very good deals in GT 710, and the 730 and 740 are also available. I sometimes game on windows (so far I been doing it succesfully with my HD3000, so you can guess my expectations are low), so I guess...

One further question: what should I look for in the search for compatible graphic cards? That they are Kepler based? The options you posted are not available in my local ebay, but there are other quadro cards with similar numbers.

Thank you very much for your reply! I will certainly consider this, I know my system is on borrowed time, but so far I am still very succesfully using it for video editing (via proxys), so I was planning on buying a capable video card maybe next year to extend it's lifetime a little more. Thanks...
