Hi, I am running Xcode 12.4 on Catalina 10.15.7. The app seems to be working well, quite smooth i must say. The problem i'm facing is that when i downloaded and installed additional simulators for iOS versions below 14 (which is the officially supported version in Xcode 12.4) e.g. iOS 12.4 for...

I'm currently transitioning to OpenCore. Soon after I will upgrade to BigSur. The OpenCore documentation is fabulous, the Hackintosh has never been so clear and precise for me. However, I can't get ProperTree to start. It crashes on startup. And I've exhausted many web solutions without getting...

I am having a problem with my WD MyPassport drives when running Time Machine, they start off at a reasonable pace then slow right down to a crawl, total back up size is 1.1TB and my drives are 4 and 5TB respectively, and the back ups slow down to almost stationary after about 800 to 900GB. I am...

Hi, I have a problem. Whenever I try to start the catalina installer from my usb over clover, it stops right after the loading bar with the apple logo and gives me a stop sign. I tried -v and -x and different nvidia options but had no luck with it, it's always the same. With -v and -x or without...

There's an issue in Catalina where in the keyboard locks out randomly (in my case, when pressing CAPS lock key) and no matter you unplugged and plugged in the USB keyboard it still locks out until I reboot my machine. Note: USB ports work. Mouse with USB receiver work. External HDD has power...

Just installed Catalina 10.15.7 a week ago on an LGA 755 C2D E8400 (SSE 4.1) Everything works great, except sleep and replaced com.apple.telemetry.plugin to the old telemetry from High Sierra and SMBIOS to iMac 14,1 (sleep doesn't work for me anyway in iMac 10,1 SMBIOS) Now, there is a pending...

Hello everyone, I’m really sorry but these times I’m a bit lost, as I started planning my CustoMac before the release of Big Sur - which seems to change some things about OS installation. I’m an IT newbie and I know that I’d probably have been more aware (in a way I got what I deserved) but...

Question is relative to my legacy EX58-UD3R with a Xeon 5650 rig. My best SMBIOS has always been MacPro 5,1. That was deemed unsupported in Catalina. I installed Catalina using Clover by switching to iMac14,2 SMBIOS. It works but does not function as well as MacPro 5,1 did. Especially in that...

Hi. I just installed Catalina 10.15.7 on my Lenovo Yoga C940(i5-1035g4). I found that the clock goes as almost twice faster as it does in real world. I think it’s rtc problem and tried fix rtc but no luck. This caused many problems related to rtc. For example, when I play a song on iTunes, it...

So I've finally taken the challenge to try Catalina (version 10.15.5). After some bios and bootflag tweaks, I've managed to install and boot it up, however, I can't seem to get graphics acceleration to work. I would greatly appreciate any help. Though I'm not sure if this is important, my...

Good morning everyone. I have a very strange problem, at least for me. I have an Asus X556uq Laptop and I had Catalina installed almost 100% working (except wifi and dedicated nvidia). So I have happily used it for a while with Windows, I even updated it to BigSur without problem, everything...
