The wifi is the onboard Intel, and I use those exact kexts (Intel BT disabled) for the TP-Link. I’ll run it for a while, and if no issues, will post my EFI.

Hi Middleman, I tried the 12.3+, and I lost wifi and bluetooth (I use a TP-Link Dongle) , so not sure it's the go for me. At this stage, with a 10850k, I have VDA, Wifi, Bluetooth and a working Intel 2.5GB Lan, and all iCloud services inc FaceTime/iMessage. Interestingly, your EFI gave me both...

Oooh, totally agree, I actually spent quite a bit of time getting my latest rig up and running, and did not hit the very helpful Middleman up for assistance during that time (despite what I wrote above, I was just giving Middleman the credit he was due).I took what Middleman had provided,and...

Haha, thanks for that, I shall dive in and learn from the master! I find I'm fairly time poor at the moment for this, and getting pointed i the right direction is a huge help, so thanks again!

Middleman, can I ask how you determined this to be the problem? I'd like to understand the troubleshooting process for the future. Seeing as how I shamelessly copied your basic hardware and EFI's to get a working system with barely any effort, I have absolutely no clue on how to go about this...

Thanks for that!! Um, well, the news from this afternoon is that I now have 12.3 running, still with OC 7.6. It was one of the onboard LAN ports that froze it as it came through to desktop. Basically seems to be Onboard Lan Controller #2. Onboard 1 is enabled, but does not appear. Wifi takes...

I used iMac 20,2 which seemed to work well till now. I'll post everything inc EFI when I get it running again (maybe this weekend) Going to do an OC upgrade to 8.0. I've got a backup image of the pre 12.3 upgrade, so if worst comes to worst, I'll just copy back, get it working with OC 8.0 and...

Hi Middleman, using your EFI's, I built a dual-boot Gigabyte z490 Extreme / i9 10850K desktop over Christmas, with an RX 6600 XT (Monterey) / GTX 1070 (Win 11 / Machine Learning using WSL) using OpenCore 7.5. It's been running happily (it's an absolute beast!) up until last weekend when I...

So my experience so far just as a data point. Since I got logged out in November 2014, I thought that I must have messed up my config as I continually got an Activation Error with iMessage rather than a customer code. FaceTime logged in but wanted to allow access to a non-existent IDS -...

This is a trap for people who are fiddling with ROM address. If you use Clover Configurator, and have selected "Use EthernetX" in the ROM under RTVariables, it uses a <string></string> pair with <string>UseMacAddrX</string>. If you then manually edit the config file and add in the ROM address...

Hi, I've just upgraded Motherboard and CPU from z68 and sb to z77 and ib. 1. Remove DSDT.ami from /Extra directory 2. Go to /System/Library/Extensions, search "HDA", and delete anything that shows up. Then you can reinstall some audio kexts with Multibeast. 3. Connect up new MB and CPU 4...

You're welcome!

Depends on how much data and how badly the ACL's have been mucked up!

Actually, go ahead with the User permissions fix. I just re-read the first post. If its happening to other application preferences other than just safari, then it's almost got to be a permissions issue. Don't do the safari plist removal just yet. If the user home permissions doesn't fix, then...

To repair user permissions, tick "Rest home directory permissions and ACL's" from the Maintenance / Permissions tab. It sounds like your Safari Prefs plist is not writeable, this should repair permissions. This problem is consistent with a permissions issue, but repairing system...
