    Meltdown & Spectre Intel CPUs

    Does anybody know some realworld examples/dangers of Spectre and Meltdown ? Would the hacker have to attack my PC personaly or would it be a global attack program ? Let's say I don't really care about it, then posibly (and all the owners of older systems even have no choise): -When I do a...

    SOLVED Backup your working bootable SSD/HDD

    I guess it would be safer to use an empty external drive to try, not sure if it would boot then. Maybe like vulgo said, after copying with CCC, you could need to reinstall clover with the external drive as target. And if you're comfortable with using and it works, try with the external that...

    SOLVED Backup your working bootable SSD/HDD

    I'd like to share a simple way to backup your currently working installation (while using it!). Thus without booting from a rescue disk/usb! Handy for experimenting without completely re-installing everything. It took only 6 minutes to copy 50GB from (live)SSD to SSD! 1 You got a new empty...

    Reinstalling OS

    It's hard to say, maybe if you know the name of the file you downloaded and where you downloaded it, maybe somebody here knows what it is. Or googling on the name of your downloaded file could lead you to a possible solution.

    clover boot option dont show up

    Like Injury said, use Multibeast. When you boot into macOS (where you say you can boot into using your USB), run Multibeast to install clover bootloader and possibly some drivers (clover boot selector as you call it) to your Harddisk/SSD. Remove your USB and reboot.

    Reinstalling OS

    Have you tried booting in safe mode ? Have you tried booting from your Sierra USB installation stick and then booting into your Sierra drive ? I would be curious to find what is causing the problem and I would not expect a virus. If nothing seems to work and you really don't have a clue of the...

    Fix incorrect time in Windows + OSX dual boot

    Thanks Swampfox and Rehabman for sorting out the problem and doing the effort to make a reg file for windows. But i'm also curious if there is a fix to be applied to macOS instead of Windows. It would be more logical to me that my bios in my home shows me my local clock and not a GMT time. Not...

    Optical drive not found in Sierra

    Thanks crayonshin and bmoag. In system information there are 6 lines of "intel 20 series shipset". I guess that are all the six internal sata connections ? On 2 of them I can see my SSD's, 3 are empty and 1 has a "unknown" attachment. Mybe if the authentic iMac (ex imac17.1) has no internal...

    Stranger things going on on my hack

    3) SOLVED. A volume name does not have to be the same name as the device/source you want to mount. This random number was created by CloverThemeManager to work on the EFI partition. If I mount EFI with EFI Mounter before starting CTM, then there is nog random volume name, because CTM does not...

    Optical drive not found in Sierra

    What I checked already: -Cables connected correctly ? Yes, because when booting into win10 drive works, also shows in bios boot options. -In terminal: diskutil list only shows my 2 SSD's. Searching google learned me that there should be a apple_driver_atapi visible, but there is't. Where to...

    Stranger things going on on my hack

    1) No clue whatsoever 2) SOLVED. I was using clover instead of clover configuration tool. CloverThemeManager did change my theme :) 3) Still unclear. I think it's some protection for the EFI partition, or has got something to do with nvram.plist added to make my grapics work.

    Stranger things going on on my hack

    Hi all, Since I'm rather new to macos/hacking etc, stranger things are happening that I don't think are normal on my hackintosh. 1) One strange thing was when I don't use it for 10 min or so, screen goes black, but never wakes up. Only thing left is to power off manually. Rebooting as much as I...

    basic questions for config.plist

    Sorry if I posted in the wrong thread, this one seemed best to me. -Does the bootloader only read the "config.plist", so you can make a copy (config1.plist) inside EFI partition for recovery in case things go wrong ? So the bootloader don't mind or read the backup file. -I was looking at my...
