Hello - is anyone using Clover with GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0 ? My system has been great for a long time. Except for sleep issues (that is, the never-ending-sleep) and, more recently, iMessage not working. Am getting ready to move to Yosemite and would really like to get the iCloud integration...

Hi there - I haven't posted or been trolling in ages because everything just works! This is a question for folks rocking a similar build to my own which is the grandfather: GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0 (FH) | i7-970. Anyone able to get it to "sleep" and "wakeup"? I can put it to sleep, but my old...

Hello - so, I'm what you'd call a very Happy Hackintosh user. My system works. And because it works, I'm loathe to update anything. I'm at 10.8.3 right now. And because it's been so long I need help! I want to get iMessage working and to do that, I understand I need to upgrade Chimera (I...

Hey everyone - recently got around to installing ML and with it a new SSD (Intel 510 120GB) that I had in another laptop. Since it's a brand new install I did want to make sure everything was flying as fast as it could but when I checked my SSD read/write speeds I was left a little sad ... but...

Been quiet on the forums lately because everything just works so well! Smile. I bought a BD SONY OPTIARC 5300S for my CustomMac. Swapped out my other DVD drive, plugged it in - worked great! DVDs, Blu-Rays. Awesome. But then, after a bit of use, the drive became unresponsive. Disc icon...

I have spent a lot of time on this site trying to learn from the experiences of others; there is a wealth of great and useful information here that is really terrific. And: folks are really nice to one another. But I have a hard time with navigating all this information in the forum-style...

In my quest to upgrade, I thought of this: do I need to upgrade the bootloader to the newest version (chimera 1.4.x) from MultiBeast on my *boot* drive before I can successfully test an upgrade on my cloned hard drive? I assume that the bootloader is written somewhere on the first hard drive...

Hey everyone - I have been using my Hackintosh successfully since April - beautiful machine! Thank you! Last few days I have been trying to upgrade to 10.6.8 ... gotta love SuperDuper! (have been testing on cloned hard drives so far while my main HD is still up and running). I downloaded the...

Hello everyone - First, let me say: SuperDuper! is a blessing. I am working on a cloned partition, for the time being, trying to finagle a successful update to 10.6.8 from 10.6.7. I have tried a few things but no success yet: [1] Software Update (fail - on reboot goes to black screen) [2]...

Am close now! Wanted some feedback on this setup if you please: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R $184.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128423 Seems like the gold standard around here - why not! Intel i7-970 $594.99...

This is not really a Hackintosh specific question, I think, but I am curious: how do you choose which RAM to use in your system? I used to (back in the day when I built my last machines) just go to crucial.com and take what they recommended me -- but I am thinking there are a lot more options...

So - I have lurked in the build-your-own Mac shadows for (literally) years. Probably since the first Intel Macs were released and I sat glaring with disdain at my G5 PowerMac sucking wind in the corner (it's still sucking wind). Anyhow - the time is come and I am going to need a new machine...
