I've been Hackintosh since 2012, mainly due to economics. I simply can't afford a Mac Pro, especially the latest model! As you suggest, I would indeed be interested to move back to the legit Apple desktop systems if they come down in price and still perform. It's funny how Apple uses the word...

Managed to solve the problem (at least based on initial field tests). The solution, it seems, was very simple. Back to basics — I referred back to the original article which inspired this build, and reloaded my motherboard settings. Then, I hopped back into Clover Configurator and unchecked...

Thanks for the reply, @P1LGRIM — I made the updates: Acpi > ✅FixShutdown SMBIOS > ✅Trust Drivers > Drivers UEFI64 > ✅EmuVariableUefi (now installed) ... but the same problem persists. Can't wake the system from sleep, or it restarts itself. Any ideas? Should I delete some old stuff no longer...

Hi gang. I'm posting a help request after lots of research on the existing threads. Like many others, I'm having Sleep and Wake issues. Thanks in advance for helping a fellow Hackintosher. Same hardware since January 2019, but recently updated to macOS 10.14.6 after several weeks of ignoring...

The solution, at least, the fix that seems to work presently, is to uninstall all network kexts from /Library/Extensions, and then use Multibeast to install IntelMausiEthernet v2.3.0. The other versions didn't work, nor did switching to AppleIntelE1000e.

Hate to bump my own thread, but this problem is back. ... Like a dumbass, I updated my system to 10.14.5. Solved numerous problems in the immediate aftermath, but this symptom returns. In the previous iteration, the fix was to update Clover and download the latest version of all extensions...

After some further research, it seems this is a wider Mojave problem. Folks have complained about this problem, usually after an upgrade from High Sierra, and have solved it by rolling back. There doesn't seem to be a fix as such. Rolling back isn't an option — I'm still getting set up and...

Hi friends, I recently built a new system and it works 99% as desired, with some small lingering issues. I've tried searching the forums but these issues seem to be tough to describe. Hopefully, your immense knowledge can help. The main issue is that several apps hang upon launch. That is...

I agree. There's some serious knowledge on offer here, but the bedside manner is often lacking. Even a simple phrase like "... within your Home folder ..." can go miles.

@cmn699 Thank you for such a detailed reply above (#4). This was helpful for me to get passed a blockage in my own effort.

Discovered a Power Supply Calculator on New Egg's site, and with my configuration it recommends 620+W so I'm going to stick with my existing 650W, which has worked fine and isn't very noisy. We'll see how it all comes together in practice — I can upgrade later both for power output and for...

Hi folks, The time has come to build a new main desktop Hackintosh — still rocking my August 2012 machine! I'm basing my hardware configuration on @pastrychef's configuration, as described here, and as introduced to me through the Snazzy Labs video with a similar build. My aim is to build a...

That worked! I removed AppleIntelInfo.kext from within my /System/Library/Extensions folder, and restarted. Boot to desktop with no problems. Thank you P1LGRIM for the eagle eyes in spotting my mistake. How did you recognize this, by the way? Clearly, this was a self-inflicted gunshot wound...

OK — let's see where this goes.

At some point I was probably testing power management, and/or trying to troubleshoot some sleep/wake issues. I guess I should remove it? Or just boot without kext injection? Help me out if I'm about to make things even worse! Thank you for responding. I'm sure you have many hapless folks like...
