    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...

    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...

    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...

    Graphics Issue with DVI (not with HDMI) - overlapping screens - HD 4000

    When I use HDMI, the graphics come through fine. However, when I connect through DVI (the monitor is actually connected via VGA, and I use a DVI to VGA adaptor - my motherboard has no VGA out), I get this problem in the picture with three overlapping screens. It's not a huge deal, but I would...

    Dual booting 10.8.5 and 10.6.8 - is it possible?

    I have 10.8.5 up and running great on my hackintosh. I would like to be able to partition my 120GB SSD to be able to also run 10.6.8 (I have some older audio production software that I paid good money for and won't run on 10.8). Is this possible with my hardware? I haven't seen many...

    Apple iSight (external, firewire 400) - Audio not working

    I bought a used Apple iSight model no. A1023 firewire 400 from circa 2003 (wow, ten years ago!) to serve as the camera and microphone for my hackintosh (10.8.2, i5 3570k, GA z77n wifi, HD 4000). The video comes in fine, but i can't get the audio to work. I have plugged this into my 2006...

    SLOW Wifi speeds using Dell 1515 half mini PCI card

    EDIT 2/26/2013: Since posting this my download speeds have gotten much quicker. Still not as quick as on my old laptop, but I'm thinking it may not be the card now. I will see how speeds average over the next few weeks, sorry for a possibly premature post. I just built my first Hackintosh and...

    Unibeast Fail

    I'm trying to make a 10.8.2 bootable drive with unibeast 1.7.0, and it has now failed four times after going for about 15-20 minutes. My "install.log" file is extremely short. All it says is "Feb 8 09:30:34 Dylan-Kaufman-Obstlers-MacBook-Pro newsyslog[2451]: logfile turned over due to...

    Hello, I am determined to build a mini hackintosh, but almost all of the motherboards i've found only have one PCI slot and no firwire . . . thus leaving me with a choice between using the PCI slot for a wifi card or firewire. I want to get the GIGABYTE GA-Z77N, which is recommended for both...
