Hello, I'm trying to finish the installation of Snow Leopard but I'm facing a problem. I even finish the installation, the problem is when I try to update. I install the 10.6.8 Combo and before the reboot I install the Multibeast-Snow Leopard 3.10.1, so when I reboot, the computer gets stuck...

Intel dq77kb thin mini itx It seems to be the clear consensus that getting HD3000 to work in Snow Leopard is some 'holy grail' of impossibility. I just cannot understand why--- I have read in numerous threads in a variety of forums (this one, insanely etc...) that Intel HD3000 graphics are...

Hi, this is my first post here but I've been using this site's guides and software for a few years now. I successfully used a Mavericks/Yosemite Haswell machine without issue, but now I have decided to build a Snow Leopard machine and it is not going well. I am using a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3...

Hi, I am trying to get an Asus H81M-C with an Intel i3-4170 working on Snow Leopard. It works great, the only thing that doesn't work is the graphics card, which is a MSI GeForce GT 610. When I put the NVEnabler.kext in System/Library/Extensions, all the computer does is either throw up a kernel...

I would like to hot swap HDs between a hackintosh and mac pro. I'm not certain what this would be called or if there are articles on this. What system would be advised? Is this even possible? I figured maybe if I put the kexts and dsdt on a boot cd or boot thumb drive it might be possible...

I am installing Snow Leopard on an HP Pavilion computer with a wiped hard drive (wiped with DBan). I already configured the BIOS, and launched IBoot. I put in the Snow Leopard installation disk, and am using the boot flag GraphicsEnabler=No. Any other boot flag doesn't do anything and just puts...

I've been using a Hackintosh build on 10.8.2 Mountain Lion for the past few years and decided it was finally time to attempt upgrading to Sierra, but I'm running into issues at every turn. I'm using the hardware listed, and here is what I have attempted so far: Seeing that Sierra supposedly...

I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my Toshiba Satellite U505 (4GB RAM, Intel Pentium, Intel Mobile Chipset 4, I believe were the specs) But whenever I try to boot, it will get past the Mac logo but then only show a mouse on a grey screen.

Do newer versions of Mac OS have better compatibility in general? But are they "heavier"? I have a vaio notebook with a pretty weak processor (P6000) so I thought about installing snow leopard for better performance. Would I have more stuff working if I used mountain lion, for example? Computer...
