    Sierra: Unable to eject USB, mapped drives

    After a somewhat rocky install of Sierra, I have got things running now. But a few glitches still: - Ejecting a USB key won't work - Ejecting a mapped drive (to my NAS) won't work) The icon just gets lighter colored and sits there. No message, nothing. Clicking on it to open it does nothing...

    New build - Not getting very far

    I stopped using Unibeast, I rebuilt a new USB key with a basic OS copy and clover installed and i got further.

    New build - Not getting very far

    New problem... I was getting the AppleUSBLegacyRoot message and it would sit there. Found this fix and I'm going further... https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/000000-841844-appleusblegacyroot-appleusblegacyroot-init-enabling-legacy-matching-while-trying.185464/ Wow! It's installing :)

    New build - Not getting very far

    Ok... I added -v to the boot process to see what's going on. Stuck on "Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</String><key>IOResourceMatch</key><String ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>" So... after some research, seems like Unibeast might be the...

    New build - Not getting very far

    This is my 3rd build but this time I'm completely at a loss... Here's the setup (what matters I guess): Z170MX-Gaming-5 M.2 SSD Samsung 850 I used Unibeast to create a USB key installation. I boot off of it, and get the Clover menu. I select boot off of the USB key and I get the Apple logo and...

    Sierra running too slow. Guess it's upgrade time. Suggestions?

    I have ordered the Gigabyte Z170MX-Gaming 5 and the EVGA GTX 950 SC, as well as a Core i5 6600K. Thanks for the feedback! A few more questions: Is the m.2 SATA drive support on the Z170MX compatible with macOS? I ordered the wrong case by mistake (Fractal Design Nano S which is very nice but...

    Sierra running too slow. Guess it's upgrade time. Suggestions?

    Sorry, I responded quickly, my phone rang :) So yeah, I always have a 2nd partition (clone of the "working" setup) before upgrading. However, this upgrade required a change of "MAC Model/Type i.e. Macpro3,1" which the previous versions didn't ask for. I found a post here that recommended a...

    Sierra running too slow. Guess it's upgrade time. Suggestions?

    Not quite what I asked. I know I can revert. It's my prerogative if I want to use the latest version/update and I'm simply asking for advice. In any case, I have ordered the material already (hopefully I didn't screw up). I'll rebuild this "old" PC with something that works.

    Proper Model number for older motherboard with Sierra

    Took a chance and changed it to MacMini 2011 and Geekbench score doubled... Wow... Such a minor change for such an impact. Still don't know if it's the right one but it's an improvement. Let's hope it's stable.

    Proper Model number for older motherboard with Sierra

    When I did the install, I read somewhere here that I had to change the model type to iMac 14,2 - I was able to install Sierra with this setting. But since the upgrade, everything is sluggish. I have a feeling that by setting Clover with this model I caused some problems. My motherboard is an...

    Sierra running too slow. Guess it's upgrade time. Suggestions?

    I am running an H55M-UD2H with a 2.8Ghz i5 and 16GB RAM, SSD and ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024mb (3 displays) And it's been so sluggish that it's unworkable since I upgraded to Sierra. It's about 5 years old I think, so I'm ok with upgrading, got my money's worth :) I'm looking at the Buyer's Guide...

    GA-P55A-UD3, HD 5770, 10.6.6, Powerbuild 3/2 - No Sleep?

    How did you get your 'batmobile' video card to work? I get no video at all with mine (I do in iBoot but after I lost picture).

    CustoMac GA-H55M-UD2H problems

    Ok after a lot of research I got it working (sort of). PCIRootUI=1 allowed me to hear it boot but I get no display. So I swapped the video card (a Gigabyte HD 5770) for my old XFX GeForce 8800GT and I was able to boot fine and have video. I do need some assistance now to get the video running...

    CustoMac GA-H55M-UD2H problems

    I had an EP35-DS3L system that worked well but didn't support 16GB so I upgraded to one of the recommended configurations listed here. I am having some issues... First, the config: MB: GA-H55M-UD2H CPU: i5 760 RAM: 16GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3 HD: 80GB OCZ Vertex SSD Video: ATI Radeon HD 5770 Case...
