I do not use CastoMac often, only occasionally when I do sound design. But today when I booted to MacOS, the DVD drive opened and it remains open. If I close it, it waits few seconds and then reopens. How can I fix this? Thank you. By the way- I mean- repeatedly- don't know how to edit the title.

Hey there It has been a while since I installed OS X 10.9.1 Update- it was original installation and everything works so far. But the system constantly prompts me to update to 10.9.2 and now- 10.9.3. It says in the guide, "Updated Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD graphics drivers If you use patched...

Ok, I probably ask too much from it, but... I installed Maverick OS on Asus Z87 motherboard-based computer with Haswell processor, and it works fine. Have not tried to update it after the 10.9.1 version but that would be topic of another thread. I was hoping that if I take the hard drive out...

I am not sure how it happens, but after I boot to the OSX, and then restart computer in Windows, the tile is shown 6-10 hours off. It is frustrating when I find my child playing videogames at 6 in the morning. Why does it change the time and how do I make it not to? Thank you.

I have several paid apps installed on my iPad such as Pages and others. Is there a way to transport them to OSX? Or- do I have to buy it again? Thank you.

I was informed that Asus Z77 motherboards are locked and have issue with power management and need patching or modification. What exactly would happen if I attempt to install OSX without patching on Asus P8-Z77-V Pro motherboard?

Somebody said earlier- the Garage band was included in to one of OSXs- is it part of maverick? What do you use Mavericks for? There is a lot of peer pressure to use Mac, especially in the Audio/Video industry, but I do not see so far what can Macs can do that Windows can't. Any cool aps? Did...

I am wondering what would happen if we take working OSX SSD and "how swap" it (or perhaps- cold swap) it in to another system? Would it boot another system if it has similar specs?

R9 270X works out of the box. Are there any drivers needed to be installed for it? Such as Catalyst? Thank you.

As was established earlier, Asus Motherboards have issue with bootloader. Without intervention, the Maverick installation can only boot when Unibeast is in the USB drive. Without it, it boots from BIOS in to UEFI. It was suggested to Install Bootloader and Extra to EFI Partition...

I have read available resources on this forum and at first I thought- it was great idea to try OSX on PC. I am happy with Windows, and have no immediate need to have MacOS other than occasional design projects, but I can work with Windows. I bought Snow Leopard DVD from the Apple store, but when...

I followed the steps in the guide, formatted the USB drive and attempted to run Unibeast. It went trough the entire cycle and after I click "install" it failed. I had to download and unzip this UniBeast on Windows and copy it to the desktop, because Safari could not load TonyMac site. What can...

Hey there I have issue I did not read about yet: I am not able to load Tonymacx86 site on my build- it starts loading but almost at the end turns in to "thinking" cursor and Safari freezes. So can not download Unibeast for Maverick. I have Mavericks downloaded. Should I download Unibeast on PC...

Is the 10.9.1 a full OS or update only? It says "Software update"- I do not see any 10.9.0. in the app store. I am trying to make new installation for Snow Leopard. Thank you.

The guide takes me to the download page http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=3 and there is no Unibeast for Snow Leopard- I am at the stage of updating to the 10.6.8 to get an app store. The guide is here...

I am getting ready to install Snow Leopard with iBoot for Haswell on Asus Z87- Pro, V-Edition motherboard. I was advised to set Secure Boot = Disabled in BIOS. I don't know how. It shows Secure Boot = Enabled but it is grayed out- no option to change it. Under Secure Boot section, Platform Key...

Hey there! I am getting ready to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD on Haswell computer. I just noted that it says- legacy iBoot will not work and I will need Haswell iBoot. Ok. I have Asus Z87 Pro V Edition motherboard. I understand- V Edition is for some advanced video functions. I...

Hey there I am confused again and pointed toward this article again. The article talks about some partition and gives no straight answers. This is what I am getting again from respected folks here: Asus Z87 boards can be used to install OS X. The standard 10.9 guide does not work however...

Hey, guys! In the buying guide, I see the only graphics recommended are the NVidia. I am wondering, how about the new AMD graphics: AMD Radeon R9 and R7 series. Radeon R7 250 under $100.Radeon R7 260X for $139.Radeon R9 270X. Fastest card under $200. $199 price.Radeon R9 280X. 3GB of memory...

I know that it is recommended to build with Gigabyte motherboards. But I have been reading horror stories about all USB 3.0 failing due to Renesas and USB 3.0. chipset. I have experience with Asus boards, and with Z77, they required a patch for the power management, but with Z87, they do not...
