I do not know if faking the cpu Id is necessary.......(But you could always try it later) even If so, you would want to fake the id to match a similar chip set/dual core processor With your processor, Mac Pro 3,1 is the smbios that is widely used (at least to start with) it seems to be the...

Your smbios is usually dictated by the processor/chipset of your system, and you try to match it to a similar mac system (ivy bridge, sandy bridge, etc....) the program chameleon wizard is excellent for picking/giving you chip set info for a smbios and It can create a smbios for you...

These guys have been working on this model.......So have others in the forum with the different OS X's A lot of info in their posts.......... http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-support/151083-yosemite-optiplex-755-a-5.html The AHCI bios setting seems to cause kernel panics in...

I had random freezes on Yosemite until I installed the Nvidia Web Drivers for my 650 TI video card. -freezes in both 10.10.4 and 10.10.5 until using Web drivers -my smbios is imac 13.1 and changing it did not help me -I have a DSDT -I change/tried several options with no help -I am using...

when i used this system with snow leopard I changed the Bios setting for SATA emulation to RAID ----Enter the bios cursor over to storage cursor down to storage options and enter here you can enable/disable removable media boot and legacy diskette write as well as change SATA...

I do not believe your system is supported by AirPlay (must have internal graphics like the HD 3000 or 4000) You would, therefore, have to use a different program (check around) AirParrot has been mentioned in this Fourm a Demo is available, but cost $10 otherwise

I am assuming you got Airplay to work with your set-up. There is at least 1 post in this forum on how to use airplay with a dedicated GPU-like your system. Looking through the Apple discussion forums there seems to be many possible solutions for your other problem. Here are two that...

My first guess is to say that Mac Mini's do not have a dedicated GPU and can cause problems when playing back videos Change your system definition to something else (I use iMac 13.1 for my Ivy Bridge system) (As always - Back up your system first) Chameleon Wizard can help you decide...

The program Chameleon Wizard can edit/create a SMBios.plist for you It is in the downloads --> community software section This is a great program for many things.

Here is a list of things to try 1) You-Tube/Flash player can have problems if you allow hardware acceleration (you can right click a video and turn off acceleration - you then need to restart your browser) 2) Change system definition (mac mini does not have a dedicated GPU) - (I use iMac...

I had a system that would freeze up using flash video because I did not have audio working properly. (the 2 seemed to be related) I ended up using a cheap USB sound stick/dongel to fix both problems. Your system definition could also cause problems with your video (Mac Mini causes...

Here is my check list for problems with video *(Flash seems to always be the first thing to check) 1) Change system definition (mac mini does not have a dedicated GPU) - I use iMac 13.1 2) Turn off the internal graphics in your bios if it is on 3) You-Tube/Flash player can have problems if...

I am not fully sure this is possible, but it sounds like your boot.plist in your extras folder or whatever bootloader you are using has the safe boot flag in it (-x) use chameleon wizard (this is a great app found in this forum) or manually edit the file and remove the flag

Here is my check list for problems with video *(Flash seems to always be the first thing to check) 1) Change system definition (mac mini does not have a dedicated GPU) 2) Turn off the internal graphics in your bios if it is on *3) You-Tube/Flash player can have problems if you allow...

The most common solutions for freezing video (some from using a dedicated GPU) 1) Change system definition (mac mini does not have a dedicated GPU) 2) Turn off the internal graphics in your bios if it is on 3) You-Tube/Flash player can have a problem if you allow hardware acceleration...
