    macOS Monterey Patches Released

    Hi I am a little confused. I am downloading right now Monterey stable release 12.0.1 via the normal update method in Big Sur. I am using OC 0.74 and the SecureBootModel is set to default. Should I set it to "disabled" before the PC restarts? Also my SmBios is iMacPro1,1. Is this OK for...

    [Pre-Release] macOS Monterey

    I had the same problem. I downloaded the update from Mr Macintosh website and run the installer.

    This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform!

    Also keep in mind that GTX 970 is supported up to High Sierra and you need to install the nvidia web drivers.

    Gaming Performance?

    My audio seems fine. Maybe for some GPUs there is no downside...?

    Gaming Performance?

    Saw a big difference too! Almost double score difference. See a test I tried in Unigene Heaven comparing Algrey's and Shaneee's patches. Is there any downside to this?

    Intermittent Slow Boots [SOLVED]

    So I think I found what the problem was. My main two drives (I have dual boot win10 and macOS) are two SSDs. I had an old and slow M.2 drive lying around so I said why not use it just as storage, so I installed same on the M.2 slot of my motherboard. This is when the problems started. I took it...

    Hello to all of you. Details of my built can be found in my signature below. I am getting intermittently slow boot times, more frequently at cold boots. It does not happen all the time. Some times it boots very fast, and some other times it needs 5 minutes to boot. I have got a boot log from...

    Weird power issue.

    It is a weird issue. Maybe it has nothing to do with software or hardware. Maybe it has to do with static electricity etc.... Anyway, thanks. I will keep looking into the matter.

    Weird power issue.

    It hangs for ever. Never boots. I tried the -v parameter but could not make out what the problem was. However, if indeed this is a problem with opencore or config.plist, why does it boot without any problem after I force it to power down? And then I have no problem when I reboot or boot again...

    Weird power issue.

    I am experiencing a very strange bug. The specs of my system can be found at my signature. When I leave the PC shut down for some time (i.e. for more than an hour), next time I boot it up, it freezes half way the apple logo boot screen. I have to close the PC by either holding down the power...

    i can't get macOS. :( (I can pay a fee.)

    Since you have a GTX1050ti you can only install up to High Sierra. Nvidia drivers were dropped by apple after High Sierra, so only a small selection of kepler Nvidia cards work with Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. GTX1050ti is not one of them, so unless you change GPU, you are stuck to High Sierra.

    Big Sur Public Beta - iCloud error

    This is the message I get when trying to connect to iCloud with my Apple ID. Anyone else experiencing the same thing in Public Beta? I believe it must be a bug. Other than that, I can connect normally to the app store and to my apple ID. It is just the iCloud that has the problem. And it just...
