I've had a pretty stable build for some time now and I'm just getting around to hashing out all of the small quirks. 1) When I'm done for they day I never shut down but put it to sleep. 9/10 when I come back the next day it wakes up fine and all is well. That 1/10 though the computer will wake...

I've had a successful macOS Sierra unit for quite some time now. Like everyone else, after the rig is 99% working you go about tweaking some things to make it perfect. One thing I've been battling with is audio output over DisplayPort. Don't misunderstand, it works and does so beautifully...

I've been fighting with this for the past 2 days with the little free time I have. I followed the installation guide and apparently it's not as straight forward as that. I thought a config.plist could be configured post installation but that may not be the case? I'm attempting to install the...

Hey everyone. It's good to see this community not only up and running but thriving. It's been a while since I've built a hackintosh, as the build in my sig indicates. That sucker dates WAY back. I sold that rig quite a long time ago and since have gone through a few Macs (iMac 27", 2012...

It's great to see that this community is still thriving. I built my very first and only Hackintosh years ago with the help on this forum. It was a great experience. However, I have since sold that unit to a younger family member and because of the amount of time I've had on my hands haven't...

Hey all. It's been QUITE a while since I've been around. I've built 2 hack installations for personal use a few years back and have since moved on to first an iMac and now a MacBook Pro. I love my MacBook Pro for everything I use it for except one: Media Server. It's a mobile device so it...

So I'm finally going to bite the bullet and actually purchase an Apple iMac. I've been running with my Hack for a few years now and it has been great. However, considering it's a bit to keep up with and it is no where NEAR as asthetically pleasing as an iMac would be in my bedroom I'm getting...

I'm having an issue with my USB ports randomly not working. I first noticed when I came to my computer one time and the bluetooth connection screen was up and it said it couldn't find a usb connected keyboard. Then I noticed almost like clock work, on every other boot I do not have USB...

I can't remember the last time it did work completely. It still works every once in a while though. Blue moon rare though. I don't want to use a third party software like Pleasesleep. I've checked the logs (I think the right one) but I don't see anything of interest. Did something break...

I've been wanting to overclock my processor for the longest time but felt the task was too risky. I finally bit the bullet this weekend and dove in. Of course I did my research first and I ran across a guide over @ overclockers.com. I have an i3 560 @ 3.33GHz. The guide I followed had a...

So, I have a Western Digital External HDD that is powered by a power supply. The problem I've always had is that if I try to sleep the computer with it plugged in it wouldn't. It would immediately wake up. Since I've upgraded to 10.7.4 I have a different issue with it. Instead of going to...

Hey everyone. I've been having my hack for QUITE some time now. I'm still on the quite old P55M-UD2 mobo. Let the flaming begin. Anyways, as you might of guessed, I have been away from ins and outs of the hacking community. Mostly because of wife, kids and job but also because I had no need...

I just recently updated my graphics card (it's been updated on the left already). After installing it everything was fine. I had something go wrong with my rig a few days later (nothing graphics related) and ever since then my screen is staticy each time I boot up. Turning my screen off and...

How does one go about utilizing these plugins? I've installed the iStat widget but that doesn't give me any information for my graphics cards. What is the best/recommended?

So recently my graphics card went out. http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=43854 In that post I linked to a card on Newegg. It's a Zotac ZT-20309-10L GeForce 210. I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest in hackintoshing and it's very difficult to search on my phone, which...

So recently I booted up my machine only to find it freezing on the gray screen with the apple logo (boot screen). I booted in verbose and was about to post the picture in the forum asking for help. I then realized while the computer was booting and still in bios that when the gigabyte logo came...

I finally came over to the Lion side in preparation for iOS 5 and I'm loving it thus far. However, for the installation Tony had us create a separate 8gb partition to install Lion. Once Lion is installed how can I go about reclaiming that space? Meaning, how can I merge that back with the...

As the title says, I lost audio and can't get it back. I did the applehda rollback and still no go. It's been a while since I've been on here, am I missing something?

I recently upgraded to Lion. I used to custom beast that I had made for me when I was on Snow Leopard and everything was working fine. I upgraded and I realized that first off I couldn't use custombeast because it used chameleon instead of chimera. So with a redo I installed chimera first and...

I'm about to get a Dell Inspiron e1705 given to me in the next week or so. I already have a successful hacktosh desktop build so I am familiar with this process in some limited way. Has anyone had any experience installing OS X on this particular laptop and if so what are the details? I found...
