    So long and thanks for all the fish!

    Just a hail and farewell here. I've been on this forum for over a decade now. As for myself, I was the first thirdparty developer ever hired by Apple Computer, back in 1978, so I've been around the block. I'm 75 now, and my body-parts are suffering a bit of wear and tear. But I still love...

    Solved: ROG Max II Hero vs OpenCore 0.68 boots exactly 1/2 the time.

    Been running Catalina under Clover for a long time now. Decided that it was time for OpenCore, so yesterday I installed it. Everything works: USB, AppleStore, Parallels, Final Cut, ethernet and so on. BUT every other time I boot, I get a BIOS crash/"Post failure". So I press the reset button on...

    use my previous machine IDs with a new Big Sur installation?

    I've got a running Catalina system I want to move to Big Sur by replacing the EFI folder with one set up for OC and Big Sur. Everything here says I need iMac19,1, and a new serial number and UUID and other machine fingerprints to install Big Sur. That will mess up some pretty expensive...

    No Updates. All your apps are up to date.

    I've been getting that message for over 30 days now, when I check for updates on the App Store. It is obviously wrong, but I don't seem to be able to make it go away and get my updates back. Any suggestions? I did update to Catalina at about the same time it started, but I'm not positive...

    mojave to Catalina won't go past Universal NO

    Using Clover 5102 with emulated NVRAM, I'm trying to install Catalina. I get the first black screen/white apple thermometer to about 3/4 full and then get the black screen with a "universal NO" mark (circle with line thru it). Have disconnected my USB devices; rebooted; powered off and so on...

    Clover versions: should I update

    I have a fairly new Mobo etc (see config) and am running Clover 5045. The latest stable version seems to be 5071. I have no major problems with 5045, altho sometimes it will spontaneously reboot. I suspect an app I'm using... But given that at least a few months ago, my hardware/cpu was cutting...

    USB 3 Drives Disconnecting Spontaneously

    I have a bit of a problem with my external USB 3 drives. They spontaneously fall off the bus, and a second or two later, re-appear. They will stay up for 5 or 6 or so hours, and then disconnect/reconnect. More specifically, this seems to happen with my multiple-drive enclosures. I have so far...

    FCPX graphic card question

    I have a GA-Z77X-UD5H. I know that FCPX will NOT run well with this board and the Radeon 560-580 cards. Does anyone know if FCPX will run on this mobo with a -VEGA- card ? Specifically the XFX AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56? (I can't upgrade to Mojave with my Nvidia card, nor can I run the current...

    one person asked "why would anyone NOT want APFS?" Here's why

    1) as of this date, a drive with APFS cannot be repaired. Not Apple; not DiskWarrior; not Drive Genius; not TechTool Pro - well, you get it. All you can do to protect yourself is to make LOTS of clones. 2) If you install APFS (which you get if you install Mojave) on a spinner (traditional HDD...

    [Solved] 10.13.1 update not possible: clover does not show install volume

    (This is a repost from the 10.13.1 thread, since this seems a more appropriate place.) OK: this is weird. on 10.13 and tried the store update. Did its "installing update..." thing and rebooted as expected... but Clover does NOT show the "Install macOS from (drive name)" volume. So I downloaded...

    safeboot not working - cannot safe boot

    Hi I've got 10.11.6, and a Clover installation. Everything else is working fine except that I cannot perform a safeboot. (Searching the forum finds literally thousands of "safeboot" entires, all about it working, instead of not working.) I click on options, and add -x to the end of the boot...

    Can't Boot UniBeast USB Thumb Drive - Wants to Boot the Hard Drive

    Took me over an hour to figure this out, and YMMV, but selecting the stick via F12 (boot choice) didn't work - it always just booted from the hard drive. Finally, I went into the BIOS and set the default boot to be the stick, and restarted. Success!

    GA-Z77X-UD5H tips for Yosemite vs USB 3.0

    1) do NOT install the "universal USB 3.0" in Multibeast. Check About This Mac/ full report/ usb to see that the driver is AppleUSBXHCI, and NOT GenericUSBXHCI. If you have GenericUSBXHCI installed, remove it. (edit: this still works, but see below.) 1a) contrary to the info in Multibeast...

    GA-Z77X no ethernet cable connected after Yosemite

    I tried the atherosL1cEthernet 1.2.3 driver that worked under Mavericks, but it makes no difference. Looking in the networking prefs, it refuses to even see that a cable is plugged in. I have tried both ports. I've tried Multibeast 7 with no plugin as well. Nothing I can do gets me past the "no...
