My not so trusty HP4530 was given the ultimate hard reboot the other day. After years of the random not starting /charging orange flashing light power issue, - and the 'tricks' to re boot it, the other day nothing would work. So now on the lookout for a new laptop to 'hackintosh' Always...

Well after a few years of this issue happening, more and more regularly, the other day after repeated attempts, even removing keyboard ribbon, as that was another suggestion, trying to boot without RAM or HDD's , powering off for days on end, putting a weight on the power button and leaving for...

Back on page one, post no.7 , there is a drawing of the front original Mac Pro power switch and its three pin connector I have a complete Mac Pro here..2009 ish..so i am told. My mate salvaged the Mobo and all the wiring, fans, RAM Risers, RAM etc etc.. the owners wanted the case cut up and...

OK, thanks, so reading throughout he first page of that , that seems to mean that a straight Apple Update will not work..that is all I needed to know. Thanks.. I have no need of the update, just wondered if it was a straight forward 'In OS ' update..if it is not..I have a working system...I'll...

I am no expert or regular hacintosh installer . I just do an instal, get it working and that is it. So HP4530s with Clover latest 3330 I know on pre Clover we could not do Mac OS X system upgrades, but I seem to remember reading that with Clover we could now upgrade I have an HP4530s...

Ah yes, the Option Key . I'd seen advice on this forum about having to 'Detect Display' , I said as much in para 8 of my initial question. I looked but did not see it. The Option Key never occurred to me . Apple have been removing so much useful functionality recently, like the iSync app...

I had not even considered that there maybe more than one way. just plugged in direct to the VGA port on the LH side. But I did go back and edit my original post. I guess you maybe replied as i was editing. I slved it by the age old method , of leaving it plugged in and doing a re boot...

Edit: I leave this here to show I am not afraid of showing myself up to be an idiot, and leave it so others that follow may not make the same stupid mistake. Problem solved by booting with the monitor connected :oops: Doh !! So I followed the guide and it the system works fine. But the...

worrying..... Maybe hardware issues. Thought never occured to me before. but now I think about it, umm ethernet port always takes two or three insertions to make contact. Only other thought I'd forhotten about. I don't have a CD drive. That is replaced with a HDD carrier.

The peripherals I refer to were a USB Mouse and a Keyboard..because on the first few attempts the built in mouse and keyboard on the HP45302 did not work. I would not have had anything connected at all , I had to go and dig the mouse and keyboard out of the attic spares box. The working...

Umm OK,, it is not an Apple issue though from my little understanding , all my other devices can connect to all 'i" accounts . and this machine used to connect perfectly with the old loader and 10.8.4 Definitely related to this new installation Trouble with a new iCloud account is that I...

But then all the purchases etc from the App store all the synchronisation between the other mac and iPad, iPhone etc is lost. Have to get my original one running, no use just creating a new one

Oh hell Oh hell !! I just found this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/110471-how-fix-imessage.html#TOP7.1 Looks very much like getting the App store/ iCloud/ iMessage etc is far far harder than getting the OS installed and running by a massive magnitudeMy Clover Configurator...

Anyone get this resolved using Clover and Yosemite? Seen lots of threads about other bot loaders and this issue, but none so far with Clover.

Thanks, sorry I never said that earlier, I just got it on with the install. All working perfectly with a few false starts. Seems that it is impossible to get to the Installation screen when first booting from the created (2b method) USB boot stick , if ANY peripherals are connected to the...

OK, thanks Well it is a factory fresh install from the Recovery disk, not sure which it is set for by default Factory restore done. Just running the BIOS F50 upgrade then will do a fresh Yosemite install on the main SSD and go from there. Thanks for the info at least now I know it is a...

At present, if I need to run Win7 I pop the old Win 7 HDD in to the CD carrier/ upgrade bay, and use F9 to select that bay as the place to start the boot from I have just installed Clover and Yosemite on the main HDD. Although it is no issue to use F9, just wondered if it is possible to set...

I am so glad that when I built my 4530s I kept the original HDD and fitted a new SSD. Just popped the old HDD back in and thought it would be a simple re boot..but no :( the HP recovery manager has launched...I seem to remember rebuilding the original disk, including the hidden recovery...

I am about to do an instal with Yosemite and Clover, on a HP4530s . It already has 10.8.4 running and WiFi works. So i'd assume that WiFi will still work, but assumptions are a dangerous thing, so a question. Under 'About this Mac/ Sys Info More Info, I can find that the firmware is...
