    "Failed to prepare the software update" during upgrade attempt

    This is a first for me, I've had my system running fine for several years and always gone through minor & major updates without an issue. Until today. After ensuring my OpenCore was current (0.8.5) along with kexts, I backed up my machine to Time Machine and attempted to upgrade from Monterey...

    << Solved >> Long delay during boot (USB related?)

    To try and resolve my issues with having no audio (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-audio-or-bluetooth-after-monterey-upgrade.316571/) I decided to create an entirely fresh OC 0.7.4 EFI / config.plistby working through the OpenCore docs. This resolved my issue with audio, not Bluetooth but...

    No audio or Bluetooth after Monterey upgrade

    Hi, My upgrade went ahead fine in so much as the new OS has installed OK - but, I no longer have audio or Bluetooth which were working fine in Big Sur. Nothing else has changed on my system except for updating to the OS, the latest version of Lilu, WhateverGreen and other kexts I have...

    Intel WiFi 8265, 200, 3xxx 9xxx and others now working

    I found this information by accident so in case it's news to others: "Itlwm" is a kext to enable a range of Intel "on board" WiFi hardware. Such hardware might be embedded into laptops or plugged in via M.2 cards on desktop motherboards, such as the ASRock Z490M I'm using...

    What is the correct recipe for hardware sensors in 2020?

    I'd like to get my temperature and fan sensors reporting data to HWMonitor / Temp Monitor etc again. I used to have this working ok on my previous build but tbh I've forgotten the magic sauce and in any case I'm now running an OpenCore based system which may be different. Does anyone know the...

    Easiest way to add a new kext into OpenCore?

    Hi, If I want to add a new kext into my EFI > OC > Kexts - is the easiest way to place the kext into EFI > OC > Kexts and then use Propertree to perform a File > OC Snapshot ? It feels right but I wondered if this would duplicate all my existing Kexts found in the snaphot process or it would...

    GPU to drive three monitors?

    Hi, I have a need to drive three independent screens from a single PCIe GPU. Is that possible? If so would someone be able to recommend a card that plays nicely in the Hackintosh world please? I currently have a Saphire Pulse Radeon RX580 with two screens attached to it via its 2 x DVI...

    Cheapest, basic, entry-level natively supported PCIe GPU?

    This is one of those posts where the title pretty much says it all. ;-0 I'm looking for the cheapest, basic spec PCIe GPU that will be natively recognised my macOS with no clover work on config changes. It's for general desktop use. Suggestions much appreciated. Obviously older cards are...

    Unable to boot to Catalina unless the USB installer is present

    I know this has happened to lots of people over the years but it's the first time it's happened for me and I'm out of ideas for things to try next. I've done lots of searching here & elsewhere without success. Summary: We had a perfectly happy hackintosh, based on a Gigabyte H170N-WiFi. It...

    Bizarre networking-related issue since Catalina

    This is driving me crazy and I can't begin to imagine what it relates to. Asus ROG-Z370-G i7 8700K AMD RX580 Catalina 10.15.1 500GB Samsung SSD Onboard Ethernet I'm running a @pastrychef build with the above spec and have been for some, perfectly hapily. Until Catalina. I've ensured that ny...

    Grey backgrounds look white

    Wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what this issue might be? My Hackintosh setup works great and in terms of displays, each monitor looks fine to me. However, just recently something has changed such that very light grey backgrounds become indistinguishable from white. I'd never have...

    << Solved >> Setting default boot volume seems to be ignored....

    I have the config.plist DefaultVoume set to Macintosh SSD (the name of my internal drive). Yet whenever I restart, Clover defaults to trying to boot from an "Macintosh Install" volume. The strange thing is that this has only recently started happening, after about a year of trouble-free...

    Four DIMMs or Two?

    I'll be building with an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G socket 1151 motherboard and an Intel 8700K which I plan to overclock (https://goo.gl/4wn3Vr) . I'm at the RAM-buying stage and need a total of 32GB DDR4. To get the maximum speed benefit from the RAM, am I better buying 2 x 16GB DIMMS and...

    A big thank you to Rehabman (again)

    There's no specific point to this post except to say thanks to @RehabMan for everything you do. Today's project was to get a 3rd party BCM94352Z WiFi + bluetooth card up & running on our Gigabyte GA-H170N. The recipe: OSX BrcmPatchRAM by RehabMan BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM2.kext...

    No system sleep option in Energy Saver after Mojave update?

    Since updating to Mojave from High Sierra, the Energy Saver option in System Preferences only presents me with a "Turn display off after:" slider. There's no similar option beneath it for setting the sleep time of the system itself (as opposed to the display) This has never happened to me...

    Intel i7 6700 Gigabyte HA-170N, ALC1150 audio and HD530 IGPU working on Mojave

    It's fair to say I had a nightmare upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave, more problems than I can ever remember in eight years! :) Somehow though on the shoulders of others, I have managed to achieve audio (native ALC), HD530 internal graphics and Nvidia GTX760 all in harmony with each other and...

    How can I tell if Lilu and Whatevergreen are active / loaded?

    I'm pulling my hair out trying to get the HD530 IGFX DVI socket to work on my i6700 / Gigabyte HA-170N. Never before has it been a problem until Mojave. I'm beginning to wonder if, for whatever reason, Lilu and Whatevergreen aren't being enabled / loaded at boot. I've installed them into...

    Understanding Kext install locations

    Despite being here since 2010 I have yet to grasp a good understanding of the different locations that kexts can exist in and whether there's a "right" place for them to be. Back in the Chameleon days before Clover it may have been different, but keeping things relevant for the current macOS...
