    Can't upgrade from Beta 8 (19A558D) to Beta 9 (19A573a)

    Selecting the Data volume was indeed the issue. Thank you! So what is the proper or optimum setting for Clover Default Boot Volume? LastBootedVolume? Mine was set to the NVME volume.

    Can't upgrade from Beta 8 (19A558D) to Beta 9 (19A573a)

    I installed Catalina beta 8 from Mojave yesterday just fine. Then got the notice that Beta 9 was out and I've run that upgrade. Goes thru the upgrade process and everything seems to have worked but upon reboot it's still Beta 8. Even installed completely from the Recovery partition where the...

    How to Fix iMessage

    Considering that my machine has been fine for more than half a year this is odd. How do I confirm that NVRAM is working?

    How to Fix iMessage

    My machine has been working flawlessly up until a week ago when iMessage requested my credentials again. Then I get the "An error occurred during activation. Try again" message. Also noticed that FaceTime is reporting the same error condition. I'm running 10.14.6 and from what I can discern I've...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    It would be nice if they offered the UltraFine displays with DP 1.4 inputs. Unfortunately the LG 34WK95U-W is 34" wide with only a 5120 x 2160 display. Not the same pixel density as the UltraFine variants. The 5K UF is 5120 x 2880 which is the same horizontal resolution and more vertical all...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    Specs show that the iGPU is HDMI only and only 4096x2160@30 Hz. SSDT for USB I/O mapping? I'm using a USB mapping injector KEXT I created from USBMap in lieu of an SSDT.

    Hot plug... Don't believe the Aorus Ultra MOBO USBC port carries video... Thinking the only second monitor option would be DisplayPort...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    So I swapped out the Designare MOBO for my original Aorus. Now I have both the TB and USB header plugged in and the camera, brightness controls and speaker are now working. And SwitchResX indicates I'm at full 5K goodness! The only caveat is that if I plug in my second display which is a LG UF...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    Yep! That's what I freaking had before and I should have stuck with it. Guess I'll swap back! I don't need the 5K but I have it and it's little brother LG UF 4K next to it. Nice to have the camera and sound all built in.

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    If all I need is the TB header connection the MOBO I'll swap my Designare for the Auros. The Auros has the TB header connection on the MOBO... So how are you setup?

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    So the Titan Ridge adapter arrived, installed and the LG 5K is indeed working at full 5K. The downside with this configuration is the loss of the camera, speakers and brightness controls in the LG 5K. I believe this is because the Titan Ridge adapter Thunderbolt header isn't connected. So this...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    Yes those are screenshots of the LG 5K on my Hackintosh and yes to my surprise it's only 4k. I'll give the Titan Ridge a shot with my Designare this evening. Worked in my Auros build.

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    No worries bro. Appreciate you getting me on the right track! What's ironic is my original build was an Aorus with Titan Ridge controller but switched to the Designare because Titan Ridge was built in. It's been quite the learning journey! I'll have a Titan Ridge this evening. Doesn't show...

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    I was wrong @tonyarnold! Your reply got me to digging deeper and you're right. Guess the only way to get 5K is with Alpine & Titan ridge controllers that have 2 DisplayPort in ports. Now I can't *not* see the difference between my MacBook Pro and Hackintosh with the 5k display. Arg!

    LG UltraFine 5K Build

    My display is identical when connected to my 2018 MBP... The onboard Intel graphics (removed my RX580) can drive this 5K monitor as native 5k resolution as well. I've done that too. BTW, I'm running the via the Titan Ridge built into my Designare MOBO... I was wrong... Just want to ensure I'm...
