Hi... I have 2 disks with Sierra 10.12.6 running (gtx560ti can't run on more recent OSs). Disk 1 Filevault on, and uses an old version of Clover. There are bugs. Mainly Finder's Quick Look preview (when you press space bar on a file). It fails to preview the file, and I get the spinning...

So GPUs are just becoming affordable again and Apple now support the RX6600XT! So, should I get an RX 6600 XT? I was going to get the RX 5700 XT but it's a little bit pricier for not that much more performance by the looks of it. I have an Asus Prime z490-a MB, and an i7 10700 chip that I want...

I recently bought an Asus Prime Z490-a mb and an i7-10700K cpu, 32mb of Crucial Ballistics ram. I intend on getting an RX 5700 XT gpu when the prices are a bit more rational (ideally Sapphire, but maybe MSI or Gigabyte). If prices remain high for a while I may opt for a 5600/5500/580... time...

Hello! So I have an old hackintosh with a GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard for which I want to upgrade the graphics card... and separately I'm planning my own first hackintosh build with an Asus Prime Z490-A. I want to put both on Big Sur. I have never bought a GPU before, my old hackintosh was built...

There is a well known guide to Hackintoshing and installing High Sierra on the x220 by McDonnellTech. The only problem is that it doesn't allow for FileVault encryption of the hard disk. And for many encryption is a must. The problem is revealed after following the guide and then encrypting...

I had just gotten Sierra working. I went to bed and left the machine to sleep. Woke up this morning to wake my Hack, and it wouldn't wake. The fans came on, but the displays wouldn't. So instead of moving the mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard I tried tapping (not holding) the power button...

Sierra has been almost effortless and a dream to set up to previous upgrades on my rig. The only problem was getting hold of a copy of Sierra as it seems Apple have completely removed it from the App Store. In this guide, I first install El Capitan onto a new SSD. This is because I hadn't...

As Apple has killed Sierra (10.12) from the App Store before I got round to downloading it, I'm looking at going from El Capitan straight to High Sierra. I've followed these guides which are fairly similar (El Capitan to Sierra direct via Clover, Sierra to High Sierra direct via Clover) to see...

This blog is claiming it's gone! https://www.imore.com/macos-sierra-disappears-mac-app-store A few people noting this here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/downloading-sierra-from-the-app-store.232827/ So what am I to do as someone with El Capitan but wants to upgrade? Instead of...

It has taken a week, and large portion of my sanity... and at this stage I'm getting 80-90% successful boots... which is good enough. Hopefully that will improve. I feel it takes time for a Hackintosh to warm-up to it's new set up, it takes a bit of use for everything to settle down. Previously...

Hi there, I'm a noob but have spent the last 2 days devouring the forum and learning alot. If I phrase things wrongly or show signs of misunderstanding please correct me. I have been running 10.8.5 for ages so recently decided to use a spare SSD to try El Capitan 10.11.3. At first I think I...
