Hi all, It looks like I'll be getting an iMac, and I want to transfer everything from my Hack to the new iMac. Obviously I'm talking about my applications (paid ones) and files. My current Hack has a separate SSD for the OS/Apps, and a HDD for all of my files. What's the best and fastest way...

Some systems are having issues with the 3rd party SATA kext, which for me prevents my system to boot. I know it's not essential to use this kext, as I haven't been since updating, but an updated version would be great. If that's possible.

It seems that all of the threads for iMessage not working in Yosemite all get hijacked by using Clover to get iMessage working. There are still a large number of people who, for whatever reason, aren't ready or willing to switch over to Clover. I thought it may be useful to put together a...

Hey all, I followed TonyMac's Update Guide found here, and I was able to install Yosemite over my Mavericks drive. I rebooted from UniBeast and ran MultiBeast on my new Yosemite drive. After that I could not reboot normally through my Yosemite drive, nor could I boot with the UniBeast drive. I...

Hi All, No matter what method/App I try, I cannot get my Hack to show (and then subsequently hide) hidden files. I never had this problem until I upgraded to Mavericks. Anyone else having this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks, the shiv

Hi all, I'm not sure which version of this driver cracked it, but my USB 3.0 ports are finally working! Better yet, they're working at 3.0 speeds! So far I've only tried the built in ports. Does anyone know if Zenith432's Universal USB 3.0 allows function of the hub on the motherboard? I...

Hi all, I just upgraded to Mavericks, and I have a SSD for my OS/Applications and a 1tb HDD for my user drive. My system has been like this since day one (over two years ago). After installing Mavericks I signed into my account, and none of my stuff was there. It was like a brand new account...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has tried purchasing an Apple branded AC wireless/bluetooth card (off of eBay, for example) for use in their Hack. iFixIt just did a teardown of the new iMacs, found here, and the new iMacs are using the same cards found in the MacBooks. It is the...

Hi all, I'm looking for a wireless-N router that I can plug an external hard drive in via USB and use that hard drive to keep a Time Machine back-up with a MacBook. This is going to be for a family member who is very non-techy, so I don't want to get into other types of backup software and...

Hi all, Since I built my Hack a couple of years ago I've been using a Microsoft mouse with a USB dongle. A couple of weeks ago I finally got around to grabbing an Apple Magic Mouse to pair with my IOGEAR bluetooth 4.0 dongle (as recommended on this site). For the most part it works, but it...

Hi all, A while ago my Finder window started showing a question mark on the top. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? The fact that AirDrop is in this picture is irrelevant. That's just where I was when I took a screenshot. It doesn't seem to be doing any harm, but I...

It would be great if we could have a thread for specific motherboards. I don't know if it would need to be an entirely new subsection, or if each thread could become a sticky, but this could be really helpful when people are trying to figure out problems or ask questions. Rather than ask a...

Hi all, I've got a GAZ68MX-UD2H-B3 (U1E), and sleep works fine using "darkwake=8." The problem is that when I wake from sleep I need to unplug and then replug the keyboard for it to work. (I have a USB mouse plugged into my keyboard, so unplugging/plugging the keyboard kills two birds with one...

Hi all, I've tried putting TRIM back through MultiBeast, and it did not work. I also tried the following method, and it did not work (http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/). I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time with this. It's always worked like a champ in the...

Hi all, Gigabyte recently released a new UEFI BIOS update, U1E. The site doesn't list the changes, and I couldn't find any through Google. Does anyone know what changes were made with this update? Thanks, Mike

10.8.3 is supposed to allow, among other things: Has anyone been able to get this to work with a third party camera?

Hi all, I just downloaded the "10.8.3 Combo Update," installed, ran MultiBeast for audio and trim, and then restarted. Right after the boot loader kicks in, my screen goes black. I can boot fine using the UniBeast USB stick, but I can't figure out what's causing this problem. I've gone...

Hi all, Since updating to UEFI on my GA-Z68MX board, disk0 & disk1 switch intermittently upon restart. Up until I switched over to UEFI disk0 was always my SSD and disk1 was always my HDD (user drive). Before and after updating the BIOS to UEFI my SATA ports were and are configured like this...

Hey all, This is definitely not Hack related, but this is something probably important to most all of us here in the USA. Check out this video posted on Gizmodo, and then sign the petition if you feel motivated. Gizmodo Video Gizmodo Text Sing the petition here. rock, Shiv

Hi all, So I just updated to UEFI (U1d), and all seemed fine. I had to run MultiBeast to get audio working again (no big deal), but I've noticed a couple random problems. 1) HWMonitor only displays the SSD/HDD temperatures, and nothing else. I reinstalled FaskeSMC/FakeSMC Plugins, and that...
