***Update*** My friend decided to call Apple directly 1st rep was clueless and said to create another admin account and restart. And that was it.End of the call Apple called my friend after maybe 10 mins and a much more knowledgeable rep took the time to check things on their end and as well...

Thank you. All the SSDTs are accounted for :). It boggles my mind

Hello I have upgraded one of my friends Catalina rig to BigSur with OC 0.63. I pretty much gathered all the up to date files(drivers,kexts) and made sure the config.plist matches the 0.63 requirements Everything went well and everything is working perfectly with the exception of...

Tried first with OC 0.62 which I have been using successfully for a while.Nope. Spawned all kinds of errors.Tried with a test USB with 0.63 Nope different errors. Fiddled with it for some time but after I read from various sources it seems to be in the very early stages. Some things are broken...

@jaymonkey Appreciate the input. I can continue the tshooting :) I did follow the guides(including the eth0 piece) and I am probably missing something. I will start from scratch and see how it goes. The only part that I might have done wrong was to do all the steps in one shot without...

Hello, I know this subject has been beaten to death but I'm only interested to know if Imessage will work only on Ethernet. Don't need Airdrop etc I am trying to build a new computer for a friend and it doesn't have WIFI or Btooth Followed to the dot the Imessge guides from here with no success...

I am on OC not Clover.And mine was not successful It keeps looping. Picked the update installer from the menu, goes to install ETA 20mins then reboots then I chose again the installer....and.... I kept going like this until I gave up and it finally booted back into the OS with nothing done.

I have posted in the catalina desktop support section and my post was removed and mentioned "create a new thread in the desktop support " I am confused as THAT is the desktop support Kindly check it and advise. I cannot see any other "desktop support" PS: If I follow the link from the "Desktop...

@esafeddie I always wanted to try OpenCore and with the new 10.15.3 update I bit the bullet and did a fresh reinstall. I can afford to bork it because I have a spare machine. It works now flawlessly with SMS and all.

Thank you for all your advice, really appreciate it :). Kinda ran out of options here, I am positive is a little thing that either got corrupted (somehow) or it is simple one of those weird Apple quirks. I have tried everything you have suggested. Removed my Mac from the Icloud signed off on...

The serial number appears to be ok and consistent across the board. The only thing that I'm not sure of is the way that everymac shows the info (see below) . Doesn't appear to recognize it fully as it doesn't show the specs Not sure if it's relevant. What drives me nuts is that I had working...

I just did a fresh install of Catalina. Took a while :) but I have everything working well.I think.... Got a Fenvi T919 WIFI card that was listed as being compatible and it worked out of the box with Imessage and the rest. I was able to send Imessages and non Imessages directly from the...

Went all smooth. Updated as recommended WG to 1.3.4 Everything working. Don't care much about Siri and all the iMessages updates as I don't have an iPhone and don't use that feature.

Went smooth. Everything working well. Upgraded from Mojave.

So far it's been working perfectly and like everyone said it seems more responsive and stable (could be placebo :)). The only kink is that I have discovered I lost 2 USB3 from the front of the case.
