    macOS can't repair the disk => Okay to reformat HHD with Home Folder on it?

    I have a 120 GB SSD with OS 10.14 and all my applications on it, and then a 1TB HDD for all my data. I recently got the following scary message: Tried to repair drive in Disk Utility - didn't work. I have a Time Machine backup of my 1TB HDD data drive and I want to reformat my 1TB HDD per...

    << Solved >> Jpgs won't open in Preview Mojave!

    I just did this (using EFI agent to mount my EFI partition), and upon my next boot up I immediately got this error message: "macOS can't repair the disk "1TB HDD"." I have my OS and Apps on a 120 GB SSD, and my home folder and all my data on my 1TB HDD. Is there anyway that putting this...

    Software update is required to connect to your iOS device

    Hello, I'm replying to a few-years' old thread in the hope for some guidance, as I am getting this message too but with a newer iOS. I am running the latest version of Mojave (10.14.7 or .8 I believe) - I need to stay on Mojave to run my 32 bit apps. iTunes is 12.9. iOS is 14.3. I'm getting...

    Does Carbon Copy Cloner Copy the EFI Partition?

    Thanks Jay, I’ll definitely replace EFI mounter with EFI Agent as my mount/unmount tool. Are you able to tell from looking at the clover boot loader screens in my post which option is my backup? I got into clover from booting off my USB drive’s uefi partition so I think my backup worked . . ...

    Does Carbon Copy Cloner Copy the EFI Partition?

    I believe I correctly followed these steps (used Super Duper), but when I open EFI Mounter, it does not give me an option to mount my target drive's EFI partition - the app doesn't see it? Target drive is 1 of 3 partitions on a 2TB External USB SSD. The partition container disk is an APFS...

    Safe to remove random folder from EFI partition?

    There is a folder titled "ubuntu" on my EFI partition (EFI/ubuntu): Can I safely remove this folder? (Not important to the question but interesting to me, and maybe others?): . . . Some years ago when I couldn't get my Hackintosh working, I installed and used Ubuntu for a number of months. I...

    Does Carbon Copy Cloner Copy the EFI Partition?

    I too am looking to backup my main drive which hosts OS and Applications - I've found this thread very helpful and am looking forward to making a bootable drive with SuperDuper and manually copying the EFI partition's contents. The idea is that if anything goes haywire, I can 1) boot off the...

    [Solved] Dell DW1515 aka AR9280 Mojave issues

    I just want to say thank you to the posters on this thread. After not having my hackintosh working for nearly 9 months, I got it up and running again on Mojave and nearly everything was working except ethernet and wifi. I followed this thread and the directions on this thread re how to install...

    BitterMelon's "Chip" build: GA-Z77N-WIFI - i5-3570K - HD 6870

    Amazingly the graphics fixed themselves! I just rebooted and I had a lot of options and resolution looks great. I'm using "AppleALC" from MultiBeast v. 11.3 I replaced the stock wifi card with a DELL DW1515 Dual band 2.4GHz 5GHz Half-height Mini-PCIe Wireless Card. This worked OOB for all...

    BitterMelon's "Chip" build: GA-Z77N-WIFI - i5-3570K - HD 6870

    Dear @Stork, Thank you!! My computer now boots into Clover and into Mojave without the USB stick! I can't really express how grateful I am, thank you and happy new year. . . . Unfortunately I still have no audio, no wifi, and can't choose a different screen resolution than 1024 x 768. I was...

    BitterMelon's "Chip" build: GA-Z77N-WIFI - i5-3570K - HD 6870

    . . . I have had pretty much this configuration and it worked perfectly for years, and then I'm not sure what happened / what I did. Now, I can only get as far as a fresh install, but cannot get post-installation to work with MultiBeast. I tried a fresh install (wiped the SSD) of 10.13 High...

    How do I get rid of lingering boot drives from old installs?

    Thanks for this tip. I followed the guide and successfully removed all non-physical drives . . . but I still can't boot into MacOS without the USB stick. There are some 420 posts on that thread, so I will try going through all of them to see if there is more I can glean.

    [GUIDE] Remove extra Clover BIOS boot entries & prevent further problems

    Hello, thank you for this guide. I was able to follow it and successfully remove some of the 'ghost' bootloaders from my machine. Unfortunately, I still cannot boot into my machine without the USB drive (I can't find a configuration of MultiBeast that works). Here was what my boot drive...

    How do I get rid of lingering boot drives from old installs?

    I've had my Hackintosh since 2012 and during one time when it broke and I couldn't fix it, I installed Linux as the OS. I got it running 10.13 after that (in 2017) and it was running great until February 2020. I haven't been able to get my Hack fully back since (almost a year). In a recent...

    Mojave on Gigabyte Z77N Wifi, will it work?

    I am also having trouble getting to the installer trying to install Mojave an an older hackintosh with a GA-z77n-wifi motherboard. I've made a Mojave USB drive with Unibeast, but when I boot off of the external 'Boot OS X From Install macOS Mojave" I get the white apple logo on the black...

    UniBeast: Install macOS Sierra on Any Supported Intel-based PC

    My Hackintosh was running OSX Sierra great, but then I stupidly plugged in an external USB hard drive while the system was still booting up and now I can no longer get into the bootloader screen. I thought I had a fully bootable backup on an external HD, but when I tried to boot off of it, I...

    Old Linux EFI relics lingering

    Every time I turn on my Hackintosh, I see a grub bootloader screen leftover from a previous linux install. I get around this simply by typing "exit" and hitting enter, and then the Clover boot screen appears and I can select and boot into Mac OS. One of the other options on the clover bootloader...

    Sierra on GA-Z77N-WiFi

    That's fantastic - is everything, or most everything, working? I have the same motherboard and processor. Could you post your bios settings and step by step instructions of what you did? Did you use Clover or Multibeast? If the latter, could you upload or screenshot your settings? Thank you...
