I was having some trouble with El Capitan running properly with my graphics set up when switching to Clover and updating to 10.11 at the same time. I was on the verge of getting it running, but now I have nothing. I can get a full progress bar, but it won't boot. If I try safe boot -x, I get...

I had my system up and running again last night, but when I started it today, it decides it doesn't like me again. When booting, I see the progress bar, and just when it would normally go to the desktop, the video signal is cut. The HDD light seems as if it is running normally, just no video. On...

I've been through several of the no boot threads, but all state that you should correct something in the kernel or other boot options. I can't even get that far. Here's the run down: Decided to update to El Capitan and downloaded as directed and created boot USB with Unibeast. The only files on...

This has been covered before in older posts, but this is a new issue for me. I vividly recall seeing the "Eject" button in the upper menu before updating to 10.10.1. I just went to watch and rip a DVD and I get the dreaded "not recognized" error with DVD Player. My system seems to recognize the...

I recently ran into an issue with Yosemite and needed to trouble shoot it. It's been forever since I had to use a boot flag to get the system running. After rereading the install instructions, I noticed it listed "-f" as a boot flag to get the system going. I can't seem to find the definition...

I'm sure there's a million threads on here (and the internet in general) about hatred for the Windows OS. I recently decided to run Windows 7 on a machine that was running Ubuntu for a change of pace and more compatibility. As expected, this was a painful and slow process. After installing the...

So I'm working on a VERY large Illustrator file and I know it's chewing through RAM as fast as it can get it, but it's bogging down my Apple Pi. So I take a look at Activity Monitor to see what's up. There appears to be a kext running that's taking almost a GB of RAM. Even at 16GB in my...

I'm seriously contemplating getting a GTX760 since I'm not currently running a graphics card. But with the recent release of the GTX750 and speculation about the 800 series, I'm wondering if I should wait. Perhaps the GTX800 series will kick ass at the same current price point as the GTX760 or...

A local Craigslist ad led me to a collection of 3 G3 iMacs. None are in particularly good condition, but they will serve my needs. The reason I started looking for an old G3 was that I want to build some kind of sound system that aesthetically matches my Power Mac G3 Hack. Here's what I picked...

So I'm sitting here listening to music on my beautiful G3 Hackintosh (Apple Pi) and I'm wanting more from my audio. So I decide to check out what 2.1 systems are available. Most are plain grey and black boxes that would look very out of place next to my G3. "Well, what did Apple do back when the...

I was trolling around looking for ideas and came upon this.

Z77X-UD5H i5 3570K HD4000 2x8GB 1600MHz RAM 10.8.3 I had my system up and running well and decided I wanted a bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse. I had those up and running fine without any issues. Then the bluetooth keyboard disconnected and was being difficult, so I plugged my Apple wired USB...

I feel as though this question has probably been asked and answered, but I don't seem to find it on the forums. I'm looking to build my first Hackintosh and want to know if I can load an image of my current Mac onto an external drive and copy it to a Hack drive. I know there will be some setup...

Apple Pi I'd rather not start a build post off without some pics, but I need to lay out my plan and see if anyone has some advice. Obviously I'm building a G3 and I would like to keep it as stock and clean from the outside as possible. I'll be using this mostly for Photoshop, design work, and...
