After 3 years of using my Hackintosh for music production with Logic Pro, I'm having a serious problem I don't know how to address. I can't even boot up with with my cloned backup drives.
After booting up I see the Gigabyte screen and then I get this screen (see the attached picture).
I assume...
Hey @hughythomas ,
I appreciate your help. Unfortunately I don't have Windows installed so I can't do these tests. I did Memtest though (it passed the test) when I suspected that it was my memory that was bad. When the memory on my 2008 Mac Pro went bad it just froze randomly similar to what...
Hi @CaseySJ
Thanks so much for taking the time to write the detailed instructions. I just finished cloning the main drive, and I didn't have any problems. It booted right up. I'm so glad to have CCC and your help, what a lifesaver!
Hi @CaseySJ,
I'm having a problem (I'm the guy with the random freeze problem unless I use Logic Pro X then it won't freeze, since I use mainly Logic Pro I gave up on trying to figure out the issue).
Over night my computer woke up (for whatever reason) and crashed hard. Rebooted and it seemed...
Thanks @CaseySJ
I got the iMacPro 1,1 working on my backup drive after I changed the Boot order. I wasn't brave enough to sign in
to iCloud but I used Safari. It crashed once and the crash report looked similar to what I've seen with iMac20,2.
I didn't do an extensive test but it seems better...
Thanks for your continued help @CaseySJ
Here is an update on my issue. I turned off iCloud and stopped using Safari and let it run for about for 4 days
and there was no freeze. No problem whatsoever. When I turned on iCloud and used Safari again the crashes were happening again.
After that I...
Thanks for your suggestions @CaseySJ
I first tried the never sleep option and it still kept crashing mostly after leaving it idle.
After 2 days I restored my Energy Saver Preferences and I logged out of iCloud to use it.
The crashing seemed a little less frequent but it still happened 3 or...
Thanks @CaseySJ
I don't have problems entering and staying asleep as well as waking up as long as I turn off my MOTU 828 MK3 Firwire audio interface before.
I'll try to put it into never sleep mode and see if this helps.
A freeze can occur sometimes after only using it for 2 minutes or...
Hi @CaseySJ
I still haven't resolved the random freeze/crash problem. I did the memtest86 and it there were 0 errors
so that wasn't it.
A couple of things I noticed: It never crashes when Logic Pro X is running and I have tons of plugins
and instruments that I use. The random freeze seems to...
Thanks for responding. I just finished the memtest86 and it produced 0 errors for both sticks.
Any other suggestions as to what the random lock up/freeze problem could be?
First of all thanks to @CaseySJ for his excellent guide and help.
I was one of the people who had trouble installing Catalina with a USB stick a while back. @CaseySJ suggested installing Catalina on a external SSD with a Macbook Pro. I did that and it worked great, no problems. Sleep and waking...
Thanks for all your help @CaseySJ
I have a ssd drive and enclosure on the way and I will try to install Catalina the way mentioned above.
I created the open core EFI folder with a 2015 MacBook Pro. Hopefully this will do the trick. I'll report back.
Hi @CaseySJ
I'm having exactly the same problem as @detoxunit . I get the same message in Open Configurator 2.12.1.0
After a couple tries I was finally able to boot into Disk Utility and format the drive (Sabrent).
I was able to start the macOS install but it just hangs at some point and I...
