Macbook late 2008 is back alive

I finally upgraded to MacOS Monterey my old Macbook late 2008 from MacOS X El captain. It did take a while to install the new software and access to my account in the first login even though I swapped the old HDD to a new samsung SSD. At first it was pretty slow and laggy, but after some time it became more stable and fluid. Now it runs very well and it’s perfect for searching around the internet and doing everyday stuff, don’t expect it to be like a brand new macbook but for an old machine it’s pretty good. I’m really happy that this mac came back to life, big W to the devs!!

problème AirDropBonjour, j'ai des problèmes d'AirDrop, peut-être avec OpenCore Legacy Patcher. J'aimerais que quelqu'un me réponde pour le problème ou est-ce que c'est normal via la bêta. Je voudrais bien parce que avant sur Sequoia, je n'avais pas de problème avec ça. Voilà, j'ai que ces problèmes-

Tahoe on a MBP 15" Mid 2010 because why not?

I already had a feeling that the experience wouldn't be all that pleasant,

but I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

Except for the mouse, most of the animations are laggy, but at least it starts up in Tahoe

Upgrading to 15.8.1 via USB through OCLP 2.5.1

Maybe I just have forgotten (highly possible), but I just downloaded the 15.8.1 installer via OCLP so as to put it on a USB so I could install it later when I had some free time.

Well I Selected download "Create macOS installer", selected and downloaded 15.8.1 and after down load it asked if I wanted to "Install macOS Sequoia:15.8.1 (24H32)", but no option to write it to a USB stick, maybe I have truly lost my mind, but the last time I did this was in the previous version of OCLP it prompted me to a USB, does this happen when I press the install, if so I'll just have to wait till I'm actually got plenty of time to complete the process.

My goal today was to just have the installer on the USB ready for when I was able to have some undisturbed time. Sorry for the "stupid question" in advance

Early 2013 MacBook Pro on Tahoe!

Setup Assistant was painfully slow (and took about a hour) but it does well for all my needs and performance is fine, albeit with a few stutters and slowdowns. Took about 4 hours from start to finish
tysm devs!

Mac Pro 3,1 + RX 570 on Monterey (OCLP): purple screen after updating OCLP to 2.5.1

Hi all,

I’m running into a purple screen on my Mac Pro 3,1 after updating OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and I’m out of ideas.

Setup:

  • Mac Pro 3,1 (Early 2008), dual Xeon Harpertown
  • 16 GB RAM
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570 Sapphire Nitro+ 8Gb
  • macOS Monterey 12.7.x installed with OCLP

What happened:

  1. Earlier today I installed Monterey using OCLP. Everything worked fine: OpenCore built and installed, root patches applied, normal boot and graphics.
  2. OCLP then offered an update to 2.5.1. I accepted it.
  3. I can log in but the screen is purple

What I’ve tried:

  • Root patch Revert, then re-patching: same purple screen
  • Fully reinstalled OCLP, rebuilt and reinstalled OpenCore to the EFI, re-applied root patches: no change

Questions:

  • Is this a known issue in OCLP 2.5.1 on the Mac Pro 3,1, or with the RX 570?
  • Since the RX 570 is natively supported on Monterey, could unnecessary root patches be conflicting with the GPU driver?

Thanks in advance!

2016 15" MBP (13,3) issues with root patches

Hi all, I've so far upgraded 7 of my intel mac collection without any major problems (1x 2012 15" MBP, 1x 2014 mini, 3x 2015 15" MBP, 1x 2015 13" MBP, and 1x 2017 15" MBP)

Got a 2016 15" MBP (13,3) which is being a bit more of a pain. After patches it won't boot properly, getting stuck ~1/3 of the way through decryption (after the password).

I've reverted to the last snapshot (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOT-MISC.html#stuck-on-boot-after-root-patching), but every time I apply the root patches and reboot it gets stuck again. And repeat.

Should I try copying the KDKs from a different machine or can they be downloaded again? Obviously I have no network connection but I do have other Macs available

Thanks for any help offered

Finally, can run Taho in the MacBook Pro 2015.

used OCLP 3.0.0 rc2. My MacBook display is damaged, so I'm using an iPad Air as a display :(

Is the iMac Pro (2017), iMacPro1,1 not support by OCLP?

Have a pair of iMac Pro (2017) sitting around that I'd like to get Tahoe installed on but don't see iMacPro1,1 listed as an available host.

Can I use the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) iMac18,3 host?
