So, finally I'm getting ready to embark on this adventure. I have a question however regarding the ability to read / access the various drives that comprise my media server. In order to have access to these will I need to use Migration Assistant to copy settings from my existing boot drive? Or...

Well, the migration worked - eventually! Had a couple of false starts but finally managed to get everything across to the new machine.

Thanks. I've ordered a USB-C to USB-A (female) connector from Amazon. I'm hoping that this will allow me to connect the USB external drive that holds the TM backups of the old machine since Migration Assistant can apparent copy the files from the TM backup set. I'll let you know if this works!

I'm hoping that someone may be so kind as to provide a little advice regarding how I might best migrate files (user accounts, apps, settings, etc.) from an existing hack which uses Ethernet only for network access (I never installed Wi-Fi as the machine was sitting next to the router). The...

As you will see from my signature, my processor/motherboard are fairly old (Haswell vintage). Is this combo likely to be able to run Catalina successfully using integrated graphics (HD4400)? Are there any specific issues that I ought to be considering before moving ahead with a Catalina upgrade...

I have a machine based around an ASRock H97M-ITX/AC motherboard that currently runs Sierra. I'd like to upgrade to Catalina but I'm very wary of breaking my hack if I update. What's the best and most foolproof way to update my system?

I have a machine based around an ASRock H97M-ITX/AC motherboard that currently runs Sierra. I'd like to upgrade to Catalina but I'm vert wary of breaking the machine in attempting to through the update process. Is it feasible to configure a new (Catalina) boot drive on my existing machine...

Stork Appreciate your response to my original query. As a clarification, does step 3 above "Install Mojave over your Sierra" simply replace the system files, leaving all of my existing user configurations, applications, etc. in place or does it delete all of those and require them to be...

So basically you are suggesting that rather than updating from the existing Sierra install that I should start from scratch and follow the steps in this post (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-install-macos-mojave-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.259381/). One thought I had was to buy...

I'm presently running MacOS Sierra (10.12.6) on an i3-4170 installed in a ASRock H97M-ITX/AC motherboard. I have no external graphics card and instead simply use the Intel HD4400 graphics. I've never updated the original Sierra installation on the basis of "don't break what's already working"...

Finally going to update to High Sierra. I downloaded the latest version of Clover Bootloader (2.4k_r4658) which seems, unsurprisingly, to supersede the version Post #1. Can you please confirm that I am able to update to HS using this latest version of Clover. Thanks

Pilgrim......thanks for the quick response. For my own education I have a couple of follow-up questions. Does the SuperDuper clone process copy Clover to the new SSD? Is a EFI partition present on ever drive that is formatted as HFS+ on a Mac? Would you advise that I disable the conversion...

I have a Sierra build running on an ASrock H97M-itx board with a spinning HDD as the boot / storage drive (there is a 64GB partition on the drive for the OS). I'm getting ready to update to High Sierra and as part of this process would like to install a SSD as a new boot drive. I'm thinking...

I currently have a MacOS Sierra build that runs on an H97M-itx motherboard with a spinning HDD as the boot/storage drive. As part of an update to High Sierra I'd like to install an SSD for the OS and storage of frequently used files (apps, etc.). The H97M-itx board does not natively support...

As a point of reference, I followed this guide to get iMessage up and running on my Skylake hack that runs High Sierra today. Working with a system id of iMac14,2. It seems that if you follow each of the steps carefully that the process will be successful. Note that for the ROM and MLB...

It turns out that the fix was as simple as going to Sound in the control panel and turning up the output volume (slider at the bottom of the dialog box). So just to clarify, the following are the steps that I took: Installed High Sierra as described in the guide. Ran Multibeast specifying...

Toleda.......thanks for all the hard work that you have put in on creating this thread. I apologize but after having read through your guide multiple times I'm still a little confused regarding the process to enable audio with my ASRock H170m-itx board. I ran MultiBeast post the initial...

I'm hoping someone might point me in the right direction with regard to configuring iMessage on High Sierra. I previously had iMessage working fine under Sierra with a system specification of iMac17,1 (ASRock H170M-ITX board and i5 6500 processor). After upgrading to Sierra I found that...

I have an i5 6500 system that is now running High Sierra. The system is configured with an ASRock H170M-ITX motherboard and Intel HD530 graphics. When I initially built the system I used the iMac17,1 identifier however having recently updated to Hugh Sierra I see that MultiBeast has set the...

OK, so the problem was in changing the system id from 14,2 to 17,1. When I specified 14,2 using the clover boot options I am able to successfully boot the machine from the High Sierra drive. I guess this also explains why I was unable to boot from the clone. According to Everymac.com ID iMac...
