This may already be obvious to you, but I always get nervous when someone talks about deleting a working system without also mentioning backing it up first. Always backup anything and everything which you may destroy before you start experimenting. Since you say you have never tried this before...

Depends on how deeply you care about the details and want to dig into this. The first place to start is with the assumption that any performance specs the manufacturer highlights almost certainly put their product in its best possible light. They will emphasize what looks good and either not...

I don't know about Haswell, but the Bronze Corsair CX430 I got back in 2011 works fine with my Skylake board. I once thought my Corsair PSU had failed, but I was wrong. No, literally. The system refused to power up. The problem was that I was trying to bring up a motherboard with CPU and...

As was already correctly pointed out, the software is not relevant. What matters is if the PSU works with your motherboard and will fit into the case you want to install that motherboard in. What hardware do you want to find a PSU for? I am not familiar with the "Sentey" brand. You might...

What is meant by "Profiles need to contain at least your primary system" is that you should edit the "Personal Details" section of your user profile for this forum to include your primary system information. In particular, you should update the "Mobo", "CPU", "Graphics", and possibly "Other...

It is hard to create install instructions which are that complete. The best way to discover this for yourself is to attempt to write your own set of install instructions. Typically folks can write instructions that will work well for the person who wrote them. It's much harder to create...

I'm not clear on what you mean by "it will not boot". Are you attempting to boot from the USB so you can then use it to boot your install drive, only this does not work? If so, how does it not work? Or are you saying that your install drive now boots fine on its own, but, if you have the...

While it may feel as though you have completely described your problem, it seems to me that there are still a number of questions which are not addressed. In particular, which mode are you attempting to boot Clover? UEFI or legacy BIOS? I'm also curious which mode you used when installing...

Not sure if this is the sort of thing which may be of use to you or not, but ... You should be able to get some idea of whether or not your system recognizes a connected device as either USB 3.0 (superspeed) or as only capable of USB 2.0 speeds (HiSpeed) by looking at the entry for the speed...

Bumping this up again because it still sounds to me to be a helpfully good tweak to the SOP. Every month when the Customac section is updated the first thing I wonder about is what may have changed. My second question is then "But how can I find out what changed other than by comparing old &...

I truly do believe you. But what is your point? o_O I have an early 2008 MacBook4,1. Any version of OS X beyond 10.7 Lion can not be installed on it. My MacBook hardware has been pretty much dead to Apple ever since Mountain Lion was released. Consequently, I stopped paying attention to OS X...

Uh, perhaps Google for Kext Wizard? o_O

Ooops! It appears that I am (yet again) an idiot. :oops: The ability to download Lion was only hidden, not deleted from my App Store account. I'm not sure how I was expected to know that this is how things work in App Store land but ... oh, well. o_O The Apple support article linked...

<posted by mistake and I don't know how to delete a post>

Interesting. The progression of "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F" corresponding to 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5 is hard to ignore. Of course, it's apparently not always going to match up that well. I noticed that the Build Version for my copy of Lion 10.7.5 is 11G64. Apparently some "point updates"...

Thank you! That seems much more obvious to me in hindsight. :oops: Is there a way to tell from the content of the Install OS X El Capitan.app (for example) what updated version of OS X it would install?

I think your point may be that I should download the El Capitan install file again because it may have changed since I downloaded it about 2 days ago on May 28. I would try that but at the moment I am unable to get ethernet working in my El Capitan installs. So, no, I cannot do that. (Of...

I am not quite sure what you saying. On the one hand, you state: But then you seem to turn that around by saying: In other words, you seem to say you bought a Mac Pro in May 2016? o_O So before trying to respond further, would you clarify just what hardware you do or do not have? What PC...

Yes. That's what I described doing in my original post. What confuses me is that I get 15F31, not 15F34. Because of the mismatch I assumed that I was doing something wrong and/or not looking at the correct field or file. More specifically, my Info.plist file contains...

Sorry. I did not explain my question well. Suppose you just have the file "Install OS X El Capitan.app" and that you have not installed it. How do you tell what version of El Capitan it would install? (I'm looking for a method that is somewhat faster than installing OS X from the install file...
