Hey guys! I'm having trouble logging into Apple ID on my Tahoe. I installed it on my Ryzen 5 7500F, and I installed it on a friend's 7800x3D, and they didn't have this problem. I've just tried installing it on three other people with Intel i5 12400s, and they're all getting errors. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Mac OS install on AMD Ryzen/INTEL (VMWare) Opencore - Improved Performance - Works with Tahoe / Sequoia / Sonoma / etc
- Thread starter tucano2000
- Start date
Yes I have, I even disable HyperV and all that, also disable lateral chanel mitigation in VMware, but it remains slow. I have a ryzen 5600U laptop (lenovo) and no dedicated virtual card. I disabled all animations and set a solid color BG, but even so, Tahoe performs slower than Bigsur that I manage to install before. Not that Bigsur was a lot faster, only a little better.
I dedicated 16GB of ram and 8 cores, also the VM is hosted in the local M2 ssd in the laptop.
I dont know what else I can do.
It seems to be like when windows is missing the viddeo driver or something like that:
PD: Iam updating to Tahoe 26.2 currently, but the performance is the same, whenever the is some image or icon on screen.

The macOS VM acting like Windows does when it is missing a video driver is exactly how it is expected to work. As the VM doesn't have any graphics acceleration, as the graphics capabilities aren't passed through to the guest OS. So it will feel slow, Tahoe especially as it requires more graphics processing to manage the display's flashier properties.
If you had Sequoia running as a VM and it worked well, you would be better served reverting to the previous OS.
Latest and greatest always sounds good, but not if the host won't drive it correctly, no matter what the limitation. This is the same for a Bare Metal installation of macOS as it is for a VM. Just because you can doesn't mean you should!

Links updated to Tahoe 26.3 (working on VMware as mentioned in the post)
Good news!!!
Tahoe is now working on VMWare!!!
I finally got Tahoe working on VMWare, and if you want to download here are the necessary files:
Tahoe.iso (Tahoe 26.3)
The first file is a WinRAR executable to automatically extract all files. You do not need to have WinRAR installed.

Not sure what I was using before. I recreated the VM and it magically started working.
Quick lazy overview of what made this really fast and usable for me, too lazy to type / screenshot:
