Hi, I'd like my OS X to boot up with the same icon and background as on a real Mac, instead of that silver Apple icon that is very old. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.

Hi, I have installed Mavericks using the TonyMac method, and everything works fine except for iMessage. I cannot log into it, and I'm afraid that's because of the serial number that was generated for my installation, which is not found in Apple's database (so the serial is fake). How can...

Hi, I have two HDDs: one is an SSD that only has Mavericks installed in it. The other is a 2TB HDD that is called "Data", and is where I put my movies, music, photos, etc... No OS is installed on that drive. It is the drive where I'd like to install Windows 7 or 8.1 (doesn't really matter)...

Hi, I have a Logitech Keyboard Cover that I use with an iPad and a hackintosh. It worked fine with both until last night, but now it won't pair to the hackintosh. When I hit the "Pair" button, OS X says "passkey did not match", which is weird considering the fact that I wasn't even asked to...

Hi, My DeathAdder is no longer the mouse I used to love. The scroll wheel is driving me mad, so I need a new mouse. This time I don't need a gaming mouse so I'd like to go wireless. I read a few days ago that some wireless mice with USB receivers don't work well with OS X, especially in the...

Hi, It took me a few days and dozens of attempts to get my mouse and keyboard, both USB, to work in the Mavericks installation. This has to do with USB Legacy support in LGA 1156 CPUs. I have a GIGABYTE H55M-D2H motherboard, but this should work for all (GIGABYTE) motherboard of LGA 1156...

Hi, I made a Unibeast USB for 10.9 and I am able to boot the installer using no DSDT and by typing npci=0x3000. Once I get to the installer, the mouse and keyboard (both are USB connected) do not work. I have a 1156 chipset motherboard and I tried using Legacy USB and it didn't help. If I...

Hi, I created a UniBeast USB with Mavericks and all I see in the USB is this: a file called "Install OS X Mavericks" that is around 23mb. The Finder is configured to show all hidden files so I'm not sure why I'm not seeing the other stuff in the USB. When I try to create a folder named...

Hi, I've done many hackintosh installations to this date, and I always used a wired USB mouse. I want to sell my Razer DeathAdder and get a wireless Logitech mouse with a receiver (not a bluetooth model), and I wonder if that receiver works during hackintosh installations just like any wired...

[FIXED] ML won't boot after installing Win 7 Hi, I've had ML 10.8.4 installed for a few weeks, and yesterday I shrinked its partition to free some space for a Win 7 installation. After the Win 7 installation, the bootloader was gone of course, so I downloaded the latest iBoot version for ML...

Hi, I can get either a used 9800gt or a new 620 gt for roughly the same price. Which one would you recommend for ML? That is, do both work out of the box?

Hi, I made a UniBeast USB with 10.8.3 which works fine for my brother with a gtx 560 ti and a core i5 2500k. He used GraphicsEnabler=Yes and ncpi=0x3000. I have a core i5 661 and a GTX 660 (non-Ti) and use GraphicsEnabler=No because otherwise I don't get an image after the loading of...

Hi, I've installed ML 10.8.2 successfully, ethernet, sound and graphics all work. I have a socket 1156 mobo and I know that, if I'll restart my PC, now that I've installed EasyBeast, it will boot but I won't have access to my mouse and keyboard. So I ran MultiBeast 5.2.1 again and only...

Hi, I read that the Atheros AR9285 Half Mini PCI-e wifi card works on OSX (hackintosh) and can be installed in a laptop I'm getting (Lenovo U310). Thing is, it's 2.4 Ghz only, and I'd like to futureproof my hackbook a bit by adding 5Ghz support, and the Atheros AR 9382 supports 5Ghz, but no...

10.8.2 USB peripherals don't work Hi, I made a USB stick with a 10.8.2 installer using unibeast. It won't boot with a GTX 660 Non-Ti GPU, it gets stuck after loading the lnx2mac ethernet kext. I don't have a builtin GPU or another dedicated GPU, but I do have 10.6.8 working decently atm...

Hi, I have Lion and SL installed on a single hard drive (different partitions of course). Can I install Windows 7 into a new partition on the same hard drive, and will Chimera be able to recognize and boot it? Thanks.
