My Catalina Opencore build isn't recognizing Thunderbolt devices via Thunderbolt port on my Z390 Designare MB. I currently have a TB3 > TB2 adapter connected to my LaCie Drive and nothing. It recognizes USB-C but not Thunderbolt. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently did a full reinstall of High Sierra because I was having an issue with deleted files not freeing up space on my working High Sierra system. I have done one other full reinstall without issues in the past. This time however I am unable to boot into macOS after the install. The apple...

Oh boy here we go again. Deleting files from the trash bin doesn't free up space on my machine. I've been through this before and I basically had to do a clean install to free up space. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/deleting-files-doesnt-free-up-space.251978/#post-1746338 If this an APFS...

I would like to upgrade to my motherboard to one with a thunderbolt port. Can someone please recommend a motherboard that will work with my current CPU and RAM. I prefer it to be a Gigabyte motherboard since that is what I have been using. Current build: Motherboard: GA-Z77-DS3H OSX 10.11 CPU...

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherbaord and I am wondering if the Gigabyte Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Card will work with my motherboard. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722SV69N/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 I have never gotten my USB 3 working properly on my build. Even when I get a drive to show...

I upgraded to High Sierra recently and noticed my hard drive was close to full (6gigs available). I moved about about 30 gigs in my trash and emptied but no space has been reclaimed. The files I trashed are gone and aren't hidden either. It's a very strange and problematic issue because my OS...

I've been having these random restarts. I'll be working and all of sudden my computer shuts down and restarts. Once OSX reboots I get an error message. This happens a couple of times a week. Super frustrating!! It seems to do it more when I'm working in Premiere Pro and After Effects when the...

I just upgraded to El Capitan coming from Mountain Lion and it went surpassingly well. It was my first upgrade since building my Hackintosh over two years ago. The last thing left to do set it to auto boot from the El Capitan drive. Right now I'm manually having to select it. I remember doing...

Can someone recommend a good CPU upgrade from my Intel Core i7-3770.

I just got a EVGA GeForce GTX770 graphics card and I am pretty excited to use it. I'm upgrading from a dinky 8600GT, which did nothing more than give me extra outputs. I don't recall having to do anything when I installed the 8600GT. Now that I have the GTX770 I can't get past the apple logo...

Can someone please recommend a graphics card that works well in both Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6. I work with a lot 1080p, color correction, dynamic linking between PP & AE, lots of effects, etc. I've got an old GeForce 8600GT that my girlfriend's dad gave me, but it does nothing more...

My hackintosh has been up and running smoothly for about 3 weeks now. There's still a few things that need to be addressed but nothing major at the moment. This was my first computer build, and since it was a hackintosh, a lot of it was over my head. Thanks to this site and people's replies to...

I've been having some issues with installing programs since I got my hackintosh up and working. I often get Installation Failed when running an installer. I Verified my disc permissions and I got a huge string of text. This list goes on and on. Nothing in red though. Should I repair the...

My build is pretty much complete. Mountain Lion is up and running and it's running great. The one issue left is booting. I have to type in PCIRootUID=0 and dart=0. I don't mind doing this for a little while, but I need to restore my system to earlier yesterday. I was trying to get some old...

I followed this article. http://www.tonymacx86.com/99-quick-guide-configuring-uefi-gigabyte-s-7-series-lga-1155-boards.html The guide was extremely helpful because I wasn't getting past the apple logo. The wheel just kept spinning. I did all the BIOS settings and did the dart=0 boot flAG and...
