Help please!! Snow Leopard Installed on i7 Laptop

[kenny223]

In my previous thread, I asked for help because I got stuck on Choose Language Menu (because my mouse and keyboard couldn't move and do anything. I have spent at least 2 days searching, reading, and talking to many people about the issue. I finally was able to get my keyboard working except my mouse. I still can't move it even with the external USB mouse. I solve the problem by using iBoot Legacy 2.7.2 and original DVD Mac Os X. Then I saw this video today which has similar method but his method is working """"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTGxjsCIwjc"""". So I decided to follow his method but I get no happy result. Any tip guys???? Thanks. Intel Core i7-4700HQ Quad Core Processor RAM: 12GB (4+8GB) DDR3 1600MHz (1.35V) Hard Drive:250 Samsung ssd Graphics: nVIDIA Geforce GTX 760M 2GB GDDR5

What is your plan with the Haswell machine and Snow Leopard? Snow Leopard does not have support for Haswell CPUs.

hey what zup!
I have followed what you've suggested me earlier about the unibeast and mavericks but I couldn't get it work so I gave up.

So no possible solution to get it work??? Would Mountain Lion work? or mavericks is only my solution

OK. I see now. Thank you so much man. I should have listened to your first comment.....that snow leopard doesn't support haswell machine. I just found this thread
http://www.tonymacx86.com/snow-leop...os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-haswell-based-pcs.html (very informative)

Again thanks for changing my mind DD I will let you know my progress.....

Only 10.8.5 ML would work. And there is little reason to do that. The support is better in Mavericks.

Hey I successfully create a bootable USB mavricks but when I hit enter to boot from that USB I receive this error message: ......can't find mach_kernal and sometimes I see a quick flash and then it restarts my computer. Any suggestion? Thank

Did you use the latest Unibeast to create your USB?

I didn't use Unibeast to create my bootable usb but I manually create it by using disk utility > restore
drag file then I use terminal > default....true > killfinder and last I copy the package to my usb and then
terminal > default....false > killfinder ...That is it. Sorry if I confuse you because I don't remember my steps correctly but that is what I did


Btw unibeast doesn't work for me. I attempt 5 times and I fail again 5 times with similar error "Installation Failed"

Clearly, you did not create you USB correctly. Use the latest Unibeast. There is a separate forum for Unibeast troubleshooting. Please read the sticky posts there if you have issues.

Quick response thanks I will give it 2 more shots after work today
if it doesn't work, I am going to stick with window 7 forever because you know I have spent 3 full days for this and may be other people too...
