Hey all, New to TonyMacx, just bought a Lenovo 14' Ideapad, looking to turn it into a Hackintosh. I have a friend whose built tons of Hackintoshes and he gave me his USB installer for Sierra. For some reason I can't get passed the security policy, tried a bunch of different options in the BIOS...

I was just reading up on High Sierra prior to updating. I found this article which noted a weekly security check on EFI that comes with the upgrade. I have seen a few mentions here and there in the forum about this topic, but no thread directly pointing to the topic. If there is already a...

Hi All -- First post ever! I've been reading this forum for many months and planning to dive into a hackintosh for a while. Will probably pull the trigger later this year after I see how High Sierra / X299 / iMac Pro shake out. In the meantime, I'm on my trusty 2008 Mac Pro that I swear has...

Hello, I've been having a very worrisome problem ever since I upgraded my OS to mac Sierra. So far 4 times out of 20-30 logins to my OS a security warning pops up saying that my icloud account has been locked for security reason and asking me to change my password. (I'm running out of new...

This morning I updated my hackintosh to the latest Yosemite Version (usually when I do this the only negative aspect is having to reinstall audio drivers with multibeast), On this occasion the web drivers I was using which are 346.02.03f08 for build 14F1909 have now become unsupported. My build...

Hi all, I'm considering coming back to OSX86 after a few years however one constraint for me is to have full disk encryption. I currently use Filevault (2) on my MBP and am wondering if it works with OSX86 builds? Thanks in advance.

I have a Mac Mini (L2012) and want to get a Samsung 850 SSD drive which Mex controller uses Trim. What are my best/safest options? I would rather not disable Apple Kext security and would prefer also not have any issues when updating OS (such as can't load OS) in case I forget or Yosemite...

If you haven't heard about WireLurker visit http://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2014/11/wirelurker-new-era-os-x-ios-malware/ I'm interested in the consensus regarding OS X anti-virus and anti-malware utilities. When I got my first rig up and running I installed ClamXav because I was...

Has anyone seen this and does anyone know what it is? I have a 13" MBA and 2 nearly identical hackintoshes. I cannot connect from the MBA to the hackintoshes or vice versa. The ports are all open, and I can connect from Linux machines, just not Macs/Hackintoshes. To reiterate, I can connect...

Hi guys, just sharing about the shellsock bug. I've been wondering when is Appel going to release a fix for that bug. In short for the peolple that don't know about that critical bug, it's a problem within the Bash interpreter program. What happens is that the interpreter still parses past the...

Hey everyone! I need some help and was hoping the community can help me out on my issue. For a while now, I have been trying to download some updates through the App Store on my Mountain Lion OSX version 10.8.5. There are 4 updates on my computer that needs to be downloaded but will not let...

File sharing between MacPro & Hackintosh - no authentication prompt when iCloud enabled One of the more puzzling issues I uncovered while testing my newly built Hackintosh has me a bit concerned regarding security. When I initiate Apple Share AFP connections from my 2008 Mac Pro to my newly...

I posted an article how to make your hackintosh secure despite not having access to FileVault2. http://frugalcomputing.blogspot.com/2012/09/securing-your-hackintosh.html let me know what you think

Macs are **% secure but I've been wondering if it's "technically" possible for a hackintosh distro maker or anybody out there to implement some sort of trojan or any other malicious software to the OS or even modify core files to steal personal info or passwords etc. Not accusing or blaming...

I had updated my operating system from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 and I lost my audio Drivers. I then updated to 10.8. I discovered the system prefs problem when my computer refused to let me run KextBEast because it was downloaded from the internet. Everything else in System Preferences is able to load...

This is weird, has anyone else run into this? Finished up my ML installation, got past the setup screen, and noticed I couldn't run MultiBeast because of security settings. I went to go change the security settings to allow non-App Store apps to run, but it wouldn't take my login as an...
