Is there any requirement or benefit from a similar cleanup of system/library/extensions, or any need/way to remove old, unused or out of date kexts? In particular, I notice that there's a copy of FakeSMC.kext in my S/L/E. Any issue?

For anyone coming here after a search, Bob's solution works for Yosemite as well, 10.10.1. :thumbup: Details for the less advanced Start the Terminal application, and copy and paste the following: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64 Press enter Enter your admin password, press...

I have a USB bluetooth dongle, and it works fine.

After a few abortive tries encountering pretty much every error described in this thread, I now have a happy Hackintosh with a rocky OSX. :headbang:Wifi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB3, Trim, iCloud, App store all go. I learnt a few things that may help folks having trouble. 1) Pay attention to the...

Article: UniBeast: Install OS X Yosemite on Any Supported Intel-based PC I believe there may be a BIOS setting missing from the guide - on my Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP, you must also select AHCI under Peripherals / SATA Mode Selection. Maybe one of the more senior members can confirm? (I have...

There is a very simple solution to this as log as (a) you have your iLife / iWork install disk and have access to a genuine Mac, or (b) have already installed iLife/iWork on a real Mac using your Apple ID. Situation 1: Install Disk and access to a real Mac 1) If necessary, create a User...

Happy to report (if I'm not tempting fate) that since the update to 10.8.2, plus the new NVIDIA GPU and CUDA drivers, my 660Ti seems to be working perfectly all round. Pixlmator and FCPX have (so far at least) lost the pauses and the occasional full OS hang in FCPX. Note: Installing 10.8.2 plus...

Used combo update, had to re-enable TRIM with Trim Enabler, then perfect. Looking like at least some of the Geforce 660Ti problems have gone too. Happy days.

For folks who want to test the compatibility of their rig for Final Cut Pro X without spending the cash, it appears that Pixelmator suffers a similar issue: 5-10 second hangs, then recovers, at least on my Hack. Demo is available for free at http://www.pixelmator.com/try/ Edit: any editing...

I have a dual monitor setup with a 23" Cinema display on one DVI port, and 23" ASUS on the other. Works lovely. You don't need an adapter as the 660ti has 2xDVI. One trick you will find is that the Cinema display will not display the boot screen resolution properly, so (a) your BIOS splash...

I have a related issue and a question for anyone who has a working blu-ray burner. I've installed a Pioneer BDR207 internal blu ray burner into my Hackmac. Out of the box it sees CDs, DVDs, recorded Blu rays and blank DVDs fine. However, if I put in a blank blu ray DL disk, it just spits the...

Ta. :thumbup: Unfortunately, all I have access to is iMovie, FCPX, Compressor and Motion - no Adobe. All I have tested is FCPX and Compressor. I added the CPU+GPU in Luxmark and got 1125, which I guess is comparable to what you're talking about. Compressor, oddly won't start a render from...

Here's a really stupid question. How do you know if FCPX is actually using the GPU? What performance would you expect? Having installed the 660Ti, GraphicsEnabler=No, the new NVIDIA CUDA drivers installed, but not using the Multibeast NVIDIA 6xx series tweak as it ran OpenCl fine without it. I...

Sweet - nailed it. Thanks Raygan. :thumbup: (for others having slow startup / boot after installing a 660Ti on a Gigabyte Motherboard, hold DEL during startup to access the BIOS configuration screen, press right arrow to get to Peripherals, scroll down to Internal Graphics, press enter then set...

Question: I've installed a 660 Ti, and apart from Final Cut Pro, it functions well. But there is an odd annoyance: it takes forever to boot up. As I'm running from SSDs, if I remove the GPU the system boots in 20-30 seconds. Insert the GPU, the initial Apple + white screen with rotating clock...

I'm afraid there are problems with the 660Ti and FCPX. The odd thing is that everything *else* seems to run fine. Luxmark, Cinebench and Portal 2 all run beautifully on my rig. FCPX stutters and hangs, and Compressor just Force Closes (FCPX ran flawlessly before the GPU went in just using the...

I've just built a Hackmac with Core i7 3770K, 8Gb 1600 RAM on a Gigabyte Z77-D3H-MVP board, 2 x 128Gb SSD (OS, Scratch) and several HDDs for bulk storage. Apart from minor hassles, it built, installed and ran like a dream from day 1. For medium advanced FCPX 1080p editing (multi camera...
