My Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H motherboard died after 8 years and I'm looking for a replacement that will hopefully work for a couple of years…my plan being to buy an appropriate Mac at that time. I'm thinking that moving everything onto another full-size ATX LGA 1150 motherboard should be pretty...

I redid the thermal paste on my CPU and GPU and when I restarted all hell broke loose. I got most everything back to normal (had to reconfigure my BIOS) but there are two side-by-side USB ports that are screwing things up if I have anything plugged into either of them. What happens when...

I have this other thread going: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/ntfs-and-fat-drives-not-mounting.319082/ and I'm wondering if anyone could let me know if they are dual booting Monterey and Windows like me and if their Windows drive mounts in macOS. My two system drives are both 2.5"...

Is this an OpenCore/Hackintosh issue? I can see my Windows SSD in Disk Utility but it won't mount. I get this error: Also, I've got a USB drive formatted FAT by that Windows system that also won't mount: What the heck is going on?

I've got a working installation of macOS 12.2 using OpenCore 0.7.7 but I have a question about an error that shows using OCAuxiliaryTools. Everything seems to be working well. I've tried to research but can't find anything that makes any sense to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Does anyone know if the AMD RX 460 works with Apple Music's lossless audio? I just got one and haven't upgraded beyond Mojave. I cancelled my yearly AM subscription last month.

Is there a source that shows compatibility of GPUs (listed as compatible on the Dortania Guide) and Apple Music's "Spatial Audio"/Lossless? I did a trial install of Big Sur a couple of months ago using the built-in HD4600 graphics on my CPU and at that point found out that it didn't support the...

Is Lossless and/or Spatial Audio working for anyone? My rig is running Big Sur with the onboard, Intel 4600 graphics so I'm pretty sure the DRM limitations that result from that are preventing either from working. Would any Big Sur compatible graphics card be able to utilize these new...

My Mojave build has been working fine but suddenly the computer freezes on the BIOS splash screen now when a particular one of the (previously OK) hard drives is connected to any SATA port. Yesterday, I connected it via USB and it mounted fine. I ran Disk Utility on both partitions and then...

I've got a solid Mojave build but for certain software I'm thinking I'll need to move to Big Sur or beyond for particular software compatibility. My NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti will have to be abandoned. I'll get a new graphics card if I have to but I'm wondering about the abilities of the...

Does anyone have any good real-world read/write speeds, as well as general performance obwervations, for any 4 or 5-bay USB hard drive enclosure? I'm currently rocking along fine with my 2014 build on Mojave but I'm thinking about the future…which is starting to look like an Apple silicon mini...

I've just successfully upgraded my High Sierra installation (on an SSD, formatted APFS) to Mojave. I've been cloning, via Carbon Copy Cloner, that High Sierra installation to an HFS+ partition (named "HS Clone") on a 2TB spinner drive "Samsung HD" that contains a second partition (named "Data...

Had a working 10.6.2 Snow Leopard installation and forgot to run Kext Utility after editing the com.apple.Boot.plist file. Would not restart. Hanging on bootup. I have another drive now with installed so I can access the Snow Leopard drive. Anyone got an idea as to what I can do to get back...

I've followed the DSDT guide and after fixing a couple of errors got a working, successful DSDT.aml file...on my first installation attempt. Down the line I hosed something and had to start over on the install. This time, the same procedure doesn't prevent the CMOS reset. I've done the...
