I also have an acrylic ADC 23" Cinema Display I still use because of its looks and it still works perfectly :) The kext replacement worked fine on Yosemite and I recently upgraded to Mojave and discovered the kext replacement has no effect in Mojave. If anyone has found a solution to get the...

UPDATE: I fixed this by doing a fresh install then applying the update. Which really isn't a fix I guess because I never found what caused the problem. My system will randomly hang on startup every now and then and when it does, it seems to have something to do with power management...

Reinstall did not fix it. I didn't do a full-on erase and install because I don't want to lose all my files. When I tried to repair permissions, this message popped up: "System/library/CoreS... has been modified and will not be repaired." So now I'm trying to make a bootable USB drive loaded...

jnkstuff yea I usually wait to see how new versions play out too -- it's the smart thing to do -- but I gambled with this one and lost lol. I'll post my solution here if I find one. In the meantime, anyone have any ideas about what I should try? It does boot in safe mode. Yosemite was...

I solved this a long time ago and am posting here in case if anyone has the same question. The answer I've found is if an IDE card is recognized by the PC BIOS, it will natively show up in OS X under "ATA" in System Profiler. I've been running an IDE card with 10.8 and 10.10 and both...

Hi guys, My Yosemite install has been pretty stable, then I installed Security Update 2015-003 yesterday and my system hangs halfway through startup. :crazy: I can get around this only by booting in safe mode. Any advice or hints would be very valued and much appreciated! :thumbup: I have...

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2 on a Gigabyte Z77x-ud5h mobo w/ Intel 3570k i5 processor. My internal SATA drive kept having the same error when DVD Player was launched. The Lion DVD framework file did not work, and the "patched DVD framework" did not work either. The DVD Drive Switcher script...

I tried everything again. This time I went into BOIS and pressed F7 (load optimized defaults) and F10 (save and exit) and I got past the apple boot screen! :clap: SOLVED and I'm sorry for the needless post

Hi, I my rig's been running very stable on ML and I tried upgrading to Yosemite doing a clean install. At the Chimera boot screen, it allows me to select Yosemite or Mountain Lion. If I select ML it boots up fine no problem. But when I select Yosemite, it hangs on the Apple boot screen. If I...

A different question: If a PCI expansion card is plug-n-play for Windows (no drivers needed, recognized natively) and it's recognized in BIOS, is it more likely it will be recognized by the Mac OS? I tested my old IDE Superdisk drive on a MDD G4 tower on its internal ATA bus and the OS...

Anyone have recommendations for a PCI IDE ATA/133 card? I have an old IDE device with the 40-pin ribbon cable and would like to get it talking to my system. I've tried two SATA - IDE adapters (one no-name ebay unit a SYBA SD-ADA50016 adapter) in all sorts of configurations (master, slave...

Anyone had this message before? The weird thing is I don't have anything hooked up to my USB ports other than my Apple ADC - DVI adapter. I'm running a 2003 Apple Cinema HD 23" display and one part hooks up to my DVI connector and another plugs into a USB port but it plugs into the wall...

Solved!!! SOLVED!!! I did another fresh installation of ML, then ran the terminal command BEFORE attempting to boot ML on its own without Multibeast, and it worked this time!! Thanks baller 1308 and Adrian B!!!!!!!! :D

Thanks Adrian B, I'm almost 100% sure I have rev. 1.1 because I have the F14 revision of the BIOS/UEFI for the ud5h board, which is the latest. Boot priority used to be 1: P0 [HDD name] 2: UEFI [HDD name] then I changed the settings to "legacy only" so now the boot priority only says 1: P0...

Thank you baller 1308 and Adrian B! Unfortunately the terminal command or the OSX86 program didn't work. It doesn't say "boot0" anymore; now it says: Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key. Could it be that my hard drive needs a...
