Here's the real key to the boot picker dilemma: don't let go of the option key until you get past the second selection. In other words, hold it down while selecting the EFI boot option, hit enter while still holding option, and then pick the Sequoia installer, and THEN let go of the option key.
Thanks you helped me give it another few years of use to my MacbookPro 16inch - mid 2014. It works flawlessly. Faster than some windows laptops I've use recently.
I have done this twice now. First with a “Trash” can Mac Pro. That worked great! Good speed, very usable. Today worked on an iMac 2012…it worked, but it is horribly slow. I would say almost unusable. Probably the spinning drive being the culprit. Maybe one has to be selective with which computer can benefit. If time is money, trash the 2012, and get a Mac mini……..or a new iMac. The time wasted is not worth it. But on a positive note, your instructions, 6 easy steps, are perfect! If you would be so kind to answer me this. I built the first installer on a memory stick for the Trash can mac…and I thought I could use that same memory stick for the iMac. Somewhere in the process, i got a message saying, this memory stick was built for a different mac…….so i started whole process from your step one and eventually got there.
Awesome video series! I had to check blogs and yt for how to update from the too old yosemite 10.10 to a newer one that opencore could start from.. that was the only step outside of your vids then it all went well. So far the performance and experience on sequoia seems quite reasonable and its just fun to see new life in an 'old' machine. Thanks! Your enthusiasm helped me decide its worth trying, and it was!
I recently followed your video tutorial on installing an unsupported macOS on my unsupported laptop, and I must say, it was incredibly helpful! Despite some features not being supported, I believe the upgrade is absolutely worth it. My laptop was previously running macOS 12, but after installing this new version, even though it’s still in its early stages, I noticed a significant boost in performance. All my applications are now supported and everything runs perfectly. The speed of my internet has increased, and overall, it’s like a breath of fresh air for my laptop. If anyone is still on the fence about whether to install this update or not, I highly recommend giving it a try. Just make sure to back up your data and go for it. I’m 99% sure you’ll love it and won’t want to go back! Thank you for the fantastic guide! 😊
i've just installed MacOs Sequoia on my early 2015 Macbook Pro after i watched your tutorial video and I have to say it's awesome so far. everything works smoothly, thanks bro.
For those who are having a freezing issue with Chrome, wait for a few minutes, then select Chrome Menu > Preferences > System > Use graphic acceleration when available > OFF. Re-run Chrome and it works normally.
Upgraded my 2014 MacMini with an already upgraded 500GB SSD Drive. Installation went flawlessly, and so far everything is working as expected. Thanks for the tutorial.
Updated my 2015 Mac yesterday as I was no longer able to sync photos. This is working great and all of my photos synced overnight. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
Thanks for the video Anson! Thought I’d post my experience. So I have a iMac late 2014 was running Yosemite, first upgrade to big sur and then jump led to Sequoia, unfortunately this upgrade did not work as expected with freezing and lagging! So I followed your downgrade to previous version. And I’m back to big sur for the moment and may update one Mac OS at a time!
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate your video! I just tried my 2012 Macbook pro and 2015 Macbook air and all work great! Very helpful and thanks again!
So happy I found your videos. I just want to know before I begin, if Messages, Mail, Photos, and Notes work as they should? I got iMac Late 2015 27" 5K , Fusion Drive with latest Monterey OS. Thanks!
iMac 2015 and MacBook Pro 2017. Absolutely smoother performance and much more easier to install than Sonoma. Unsupported iMac was running on Sonoma and I upgraded it from the software upgrade menu. On the MacBook I jumped from Ventura to Sequoyah and presented a couple of hiccups but the post installation KDKs update fixed the issues. Thank you for your informative information and instructions.
If more videos (tech or otherwise) could be made with the sane, unsensational, and crystal-clear approach of Mr. Alexander's -- what a vastly improved viewing experience there would be. And as someone hearing-impaired (even with hearing aids) I very much appreciate the clarity of speech throughout. I successfully updated an early-2015 MB Air and MB Pro to Sonoma with help largely from here and will decide about Sequoia. At age 84 it's perhaps a bit more difficult than, say, twenty years ago... ;-)
I have early 2011 MBP and it's running smoothly! Absolutely worth the upgrade considering it's a 13y/o machine. Just make sure you upgraded your ssd and ram to support it.
Just installed Sequoia on my 2012 MBP 9,2 running 16 GB of RAM with a core duo i5. It's a little sluggish compared to the Monterey install, which ran smooth as silk, but it's still acceptably quick. Overall, pretty happy with it.
I had a smooth installation of sequoia on my late 2011 MBP even without wiping clean my hard drive. But since my mac only has Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB, maps and find my still doesnt work. Only getting a black screen in the map area which is totally expected given my current hardware setup. Running the post -install root patch fixed the wifi and keyboard backlight issue that I had.
Hello There Bro...i have the same machine like yours i have a macbook pro late 2013 and did exactly like you said 1 week ago and boom everything works perfectly just like you said in the video with pros and cons apart from that everything is awesome and smoothly working... thanks to you for uploading the sonoma coz i learnt all the detail work from that video and that was my first video that i watched of yours.... Again thanks alot from the Core of my Heart love from Sikandar(Pakistan)......❤
Thank Anson. I installed OS 15 Sequonia in my 2013 iMac which has 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD, 2GB NVidia and i5 processor. Installation completed correctly as per your last video mad on same. However my iMac becomes very slow.
Thank you Anson, the part where Wifi issues and buggy graphics I had to follow, but in the end didn't need them, I just had a buggy install first go, so went right back to the beginning and now all great my Late 2104 iMac 27inch 5k is now running a smooth Sequoia.
I have a 2014 MacBook Pro with 16GB ram. Installation went smoothly. On the plus side the sleep modus works which was not the case with Big Sur. Even the hibernation mode works. So far I think it is not worth it. Battery drain is enormous and I even lost 10%(!) of battery capacity within one day. Within a day I had to charge the battery twice with less then an hour browsing as workload. Fans running full speed without any app running. I discovered that the bluetoothd proces was spiking the cpu and had some difficulties disabling bluetooth. In an effort to tackle this problem I have reset SMC and NVRAM. If this doesn't work, I'll downgrade to Sonoma
Well said my friend. I installed Sequoia on an external SSD. Runs without any issues so far. I run a 2013 Intel i5 27inch iMac, 3TB Fusion drive, with 32gb of memory, running Catalina. Thanks for the update.👍🦘
I don't know a lot of computer stuff, so this question might sound dumb, but if you erase your hard drive before or doing the Sequoia deal, will you lose everything you have on you computer like files and stuff, or do you get that stuff back when you sign into your iCloud?
Used your videos to successfully install macOS sonoma on MBP retina Late 2013 8gb Ram 256SSD. In my experience the macbook is running slow than catalina macOS. So probably it’s because the 8gb ram, but is working great and now is up to date
There is a Boot Picker Timeout In OCLP Settings which can be changed from the default 5 seconds up to 60 seconds. It will save a lot of time and frustration!
Hi Anson, I recently started following you on youtube and for the very 1st time I installed Mac OS 15 using openlegacy patch (on my Late 2011 Macbook pro), after watching your tutotrial as it was very well explained and simple to follow. All the apps and everything works perfect, except my USD2 devices don't show up or work, like 1 of my external monitor is connected through Displaylink (the other monitor is connected via thunderbolt). If I connect a USB Flash Driver it doesn't show up either on my home screen or in locations. Anything connected to USB still shows up in the disk utility. I would highly appreciate it if you could address this issue and a fix in one of your forthcoming videos, please. Thanks
Thank you for the detailed videos and guidance from you side on these topics. I have upgraded my 2012 iMac to Ventura with OpenCore years ago and waited for the right moment to upgrade again to a new version. Now I like to have the iMac 2012 on Sequoia. Can I just follow the regular Apple update of should I follow the OpenCore process from scratch again? Hope you can help
I installed Sequoia in a Mac mini late 2014 and performance was awful, the fan was almost always on, so I returned to ventura which seems to be the best update that this kind of Macs can handle.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing. Do you know if Boot Camp will work on a late 12 or a late 13 MacBook Pro with Sequoia? If not what would be the latest operating system I could put that's unsupported thanks.
I followed your vid on upgrading to Sequoia yesterday and this morning have re-done Root patching, but Pages still crashes. interesting though as my iMac did not have Pages on it before I did the update, so I had to get it from App Store, but alas it doesn't seem to like being on my mid2010 iMac
Early 2013 MacBook pro did not work my option reboot menu showed the EFI box and one other and on the next page only showed my hard drive not the sequoia install box i am stuck please help
I got sequoia running on my iMac11,2 and its working great... but since I need to use Final Cut Pro 10.4.6 non metal... is here anything I can do to have this version to run into my Sequoia? right now I have high Sierra running on another partition and I was planing to use Parallels to back and forth versions when I need to use FCP.. if you have any suggestion its really appreciated. thanks ; )
I just installed Sequoia on my 2012 Mac Pro. 64 gigs of RAM and don’t have audio on my audio interface nor Midi on my midi interface. Is because Sequoia doesn’t like my 3.1 PCI card? It also boots slow.
Hi Anson. Thanks very much for doing these videos. I have a 2014 MacBook Pro. The installation of Sequoia is freezing. I have tried 3 times to install it from scratch without success. I had the same problem installing Sonoma but eventually it did work. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Anson.
I just tried to install Sequoia and Sonoma onto a Late 2012 iMac with a 3tb Fusion Drive and 32gb Ram. I tried three times but it failed to install at the same point , 14 minutes remaining on the first installation part before you select which type of installation to select. Any idea?
Hi, I had successfully installed sequoia on my 27" iMac late 2013 with 8gb ram & 1tb HD. Thanks for your detailed & clear tutorial. However, I need help to the following issues: 1) operation is slow. 2) At login the display is grey for 1-2mins then the desktop appear. 3) The update apple account cannot be done. When I click continue, the cursor keep circling forever. Look forward to hear from you. Once again thank you.
I tried to install Sonoma to a MacBook Pro late 2008 but when I’m rebooting it & holding down the options button, it doesn’t seem to run properly the installation because it stopes just before the screen with the deleting the whole hard drive or installing as it is
if you go with the format option such that your mac is wiped clean make sure to download the open core patcher application on your phone so you can later transfer it to your mac via a cable connection as you will need it later for the root patching
@ through usb/usb-c cable connection to your macbook you can access your downloaded files and simply drag it from the files on your phone to your macbook
@@dennisayensah9033 hmmm, clever that. Must try it. However I did the wipe clean install on my Late 2012 MacMini 6,2 and OCLP and was thinking “hmmm where will I get OCLP from?” when it came up automatically as I had the USB still connected.
I am on a MacBook Pro 13, 2016 with Touch Bar. Suddenly it started not to get charged, although it is plugged in! The battery is new and hardly used! Cables and charger working properly. Is there any chance that OpenCore messed something up?
Boot camp (Windows 10) not working anymore (in sequoia). I installed Sequoia easily on my MacBook pro 13in mid 2012 and iMac 21in mid 2013. I erased SSDs before installation. Formatted - GUID. Trying to install Windows 10 and observing "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disc has MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can be installed to GPT disk." I didn't have this trouble on macos Sonoma.
Hey I have an old MacBook Pro from 2012 an I was wondering if the Open Core Legacy Patcher is Safe or are their any safety risks involved whit the Download?
my wifes imac from 2011 swopped out the hhd to ssd was stuck on high sierra all she dose is craft on it though cricut app its stop working one day out of date software. so i put ventura works mint but my 2011 macbook pro i7 runs like poop might try a different os
Is it worth trying this on MacBook Pro Mid 2010 or Early 2011 with 16gb of ram or will it be the same issue with Sonoma where the background does not work after running post install patches?
Hello @anson, i have updated to OS Sequoia on my Mac Pro 13" Early 2015 running i5 and 8 GB RAM, the initial is working fine but a little laggy probably due to 8 GB RAM. My question is after update i had enrolled to Beta Updates and it is showing update to 15.1 Beta 2. Is it ok to update or should i wait for a more stable update on the same.
Tried to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2015 with Samsung SSD and ran into a firmware issue when first upgading to the lates OS release. Will this be an issue with Sequoia as well?
I upgraded my 2014 iMac to Sequoia. I didn’t erase the hard drive. Sequoia is on there, but i get a white screen. When I restart it seems like its in recovery mode. What’s going on ?
I use a 64 GB flash drive, however when I try to install macos on it, it always gives me this error "failed to create macos installer" i tried to erase and reformat the flash drive without success. I've tried multiple flash drives without results. What do I do? I can't get past this step. I have a Macbook Air early 2015 currently using Monterey.
Hey Anson , should I upgrade my 2016 13 inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro to unsupported Sequoia ? I heard that if you do a clean install , it will break the t1 chip responsible for Touch Bar and Touch ID . Im still on Monterey , the last officially supported macOS version . Anyone here also has a 2016 Touch Bar / both 13 and 15 is welcome to share . Clean install or upgrade?
i have plenty of space to install (1tb). can i install ona separate partition just in case so i can dual boot and still use catalina. last time i followed one of your videos i did sonona on my 2012 macbook pro and it ran very slow and buggy.
hey Anson, I using IMAC2017 with 32gb Ram but I want to install sequoia, it's running well because i using many app like photoshop, Microsoft office, keynote and DaVinci resolve, it's working or not and it's stable if I want to install sequoia, know opencore it 2.0.2 the new version. thank
Bro, i am using INTEL macbook pro 16 2019 model. I understand apple wont be supporting INTEL macbooks in future. My question is , will INTEL macbooks will be completely unusable in future ? I am using it for normal day-to-day browsing using safari, youtube, apps like Notion , CRAFT , logseq etc. Will these apps support will be completely stopped in future ?
Can someone please help me, everything went smoothly but I cannot install apps store or third party it just gets stuck on the installer. Even when I go to privacy and click open anyway , it will not allow me to install any apps.
Yeah I updated to Sonoma twice and Sequoia once on my mid 2015 15" MBP. They both work, but playing Apple purchased video content will not play with an external monitor of any kind attached, by Thunderbolt 2 dock or direct HDMI attached.. It will play on native monitor only. Really a deal breaker for me so I'm back on Monterey again until someone confirms a fix!..everyone doing these reviews of OCLP/macos on unsupported Mac's is not going thru basic Apple app functionality..use at your own risk..make sure you have everything backed up somehow!!
I’ve got a 2012 MacBook Pro and I attempted to install patched version of Monterey and I got it done, and then migrated all of my files from Time Machine to it but after they were done it just kept bottling up then rebooting. It never booted up to the Home Screen desktop. Was there an issue with that patched OS and if so, would you recommend just downloading the Sequoia as opposed to any of the other ones on OCLP? I am currently running this MacBook Pro with patched version of Big Sur. Thank you in advance.
I am getting error while i am about to install macos sequoia "an error occurred while preparing the installation. try running this application again " I am using 32gb usb for macos installer and i followed each step of yours. Everything goes well but when i select disk to install macos then this error pops up.
Hi have a Mac mini late 2012 with new ssd hdd and when install Macos sequoia it stops half way in the last step i think before it start up. I have update on macbook pro 2017 without problem, do you have some tips. I also tried to install Sonoma and the same problem. Can it be some hardware foult?
I dunno guys, it’s freezing when I start the system and Netflix is not working on safari, I had to install a chrome browser for that. It doesn’t work smooth in the settings, there’s a delay when you click on something on the settings window. If you need some special features like photos on MacBook, yeah it’s probably worth the problem, but if you just an average dude who use Mac to browse internet and watch Netflix and RUclips, I’d recommend to stay on your last system. I have MacBook Pro 2015 and Monterey works so much better and faster, I don’t know who’s those people that says Sequioia works faster than older macOS. I’ve tried Venture, Sonoma and Sequoia and it’s all the same working good, but not smooth as the original version macOS
I recently updated my MacBook Pro (2020) to macOS 15 Sequoia, and now my sound isn't working at all. I've tried restarting, checking audio settings, and resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, but nothing seems to help. Anyone else facing this issue or have any fixes? Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks

I just tried to install Sequoia and Sonoma onto a Late 2012 iMac with a 3tb Fusion Drive and 32gb Ram. I tried three times but it failed to install at the same point , 14 minutes remaining on the first installation part before you select which type of installation to select. Any idea?
Excelente! Muchas gracias!
I have Mac osx sequoia running pretty well on my 2014 Mac book air
Any idea of how to fix red screens on chrome and Spotify app’s with Sonoma and sequoia on a trash can?
Definitely easier install than Sonoma. But I’m kinda bummed that we can’t use the iPhone mirroring because of a lack of t2 chip
Thanks for the video
I have a problem with m iCloud account I'm unable to connect into Apple music or app store
Hi, I had successfully installed sequoia on my 27" iMac late 2013 with 8gb ram & 1tb HD. Thanks for your detailed & clear tutorial. However, I need help to the following issues:
1) operation is slow.
2) At login the display is grey for 1-2mins then the desktop appear.
3) The update apple account cannot be done. When I click continue, the cursor keep circling forever.
Look forward to hear from you. Once again thank you.
Does iPhone mirroring work on unsupported mac? On my 2012 mbp it does not work

Hi sir , kindly make a video on “how to use NTFS usb on mac for read and write”
I tried to install Sonoma to a MacBook Pro late 2008 but when I’m rebooting it & holding down the options button, it doesn’t seem to run properly the installation because it stopes just before the screen with the deleting the whole hard drive or installing as it is
I installed sequoia on my MacBook pro but the fans are always on and it became totally slow
if you go with the format option such that your mac is wiped clean make sure to download the open core patcher application on your phone so you can later transfer it to your mac via a cable connection as you will need it later for the root patching
How would you transfer from phone to Mac?
@ through usb/usb-c cable connection to your macbook you can access your downloaded files and simply drag it from the files on your phone to your macbook
@@dennisayensah9033 hmmm, clever that. Must try it. However I did the wipe clean install on my Late 2012 MacMini 6,2 and OCLP and was thinking “hmmm where will I get OCLP from?” when it came up automatically as I had the USB still connected.
@ You were fortunate it was able to open automatically. I wasn’t as lucky so i had to think outside the box on how to get oclp back on my macbook
I am on a MacBook Pro 13, 2016 with Touch Bar. Suddenly it started not to get charged, although it is plugged in!
The battery is new and hardly used! Cables and charger working properly.
Is there any chance that OpenCore messed something up?
Boot camp (Windows 10) not working anymore (in sequoia).
I installed Sequoia easily on my MacBook pro 13in mid 2012 and iMac 21in mid 2013. I erased SSDs before installation. Formatted - GUID. Trying to install Windows 10 and observing "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disc has MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can be installed to GPT disk."
I didn't have this trouble on macos Sonoma.

Hello @anson, i have updated to OS Sequoia on my Mac Pro 13" Early 2015 running i5 and 8 GB RAM, the initial is working fine but a little laggy probably due to 8 GB RAM. My question is after update i had enrolled to Beta Updates and it is showing update to 15.1 Beta 2. Is it ok to update or should i wait for a more stable update on the same.
Hello, is there a way to install the pre-downloaded operating system file through open core? Or should it be downloaded online?

I use a 64 GB flash drive, however when I try to install macos on it, it always gives me this error "failed to create macos installer" i tried to erase and reformat the flash drive without success. I've tried multiple flash drives without results. What do I do? I can't get past this step. I have a Macbook Air early 2015 currently using Monterey.
Hey Anson , should I upgrade my 2016 13 inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro to unsupported Sequoia ? I heard that if you do a clean install , it will break the t1 chip responsible for Touch Bar and Touch ID . Im still on Monterey , the last officially supported macOS version . Anyone here also has a 2016 Touch Bar / both 13 and 15 is welcome to share . Clean install or upgrade?

Bro, i am using INTEL macbook pro 16 2019 model. I understand apple wont be supporting INTEL macbooks in future.
My question is , will INTEL macbooks will be completely unusable in future ? I am using it for normal day-to-day browsing using safari, youtube, apps like Notion , CRAFT , logseq etc.
Will these apps support will be completely stopped in future ?
Getting screen graphics errors after using a while on iMac late 2012. Back to old supported macOS for me
Can someone please help me, everything went smoothly but I cannot install apps store or third party it just gets stuck on the installer. Even when I go to privacy and click open anyway , it will not allow me to install any apps.
Yeah I updated to Sonoma twice and Sequoia once on my mid 2015 15" MBP. They both work, but playing Apple purchased video content will not play with an external monitor of any kind attached, by Thunderbolt 2 dock or direct HDMI attached.. It will play on native monitor only. Really a deal breaker for me so I'm back on Monterey again until someone confirms a fix!..everyone doing these reviews of OCLP/macos on unsupported Mac's is not going thru basic Apple app functionality..use at your own risk..make sure you have everything backed up somehow!!
I have an MacBook Air early 2014 with 4GB RAM and some RUclipsrs said, That it is Not so realy Good on this model. What do you thing?
I’ve got a 2012 MacBook Pro and I attempted to install patched version of Monterey and I got it done, and then migrated all of my files from Time Machine to it but after they were done it just kept bottling up then rebooting. It never booted up to the Home Screen desktop. Was there an issue with that patched OS and if so, would you recommend just downloading the Sequoia as opposed to any of the other ones on OCLP? I am currently running this MacBook Pro with patched version of Big Sur. Thank you in advance.
Can you still access the App Store?

Hi have a Mac mini late 2012 with new ssd hdd and when install Macos sequoia it stops half way in the last step i think before it start up. I have update on macbook pro 2017 without problem, do you have some tips. I also tried to install Sonoma and the same problem. Can it be some hardware foult?
I dunno guys, it’s freezing when I start the system and Netflix is not working on safari, I had to install a chrome browser for that. It doesn’t work smooth in the settings, there’s a delay when you click on something on the settings window. If you need some special features like photos on MacBook, yeah it’s probably worth the problem, but if you just an average dude who use Mac to browse internet and watch Netflix and RUclips, I’d recommend to stay on your last system. I have MacBook Pro 2015 and Monterey works so much better and faster, I don’t know who’s those people that says Sequioia works faster than older macOS. I’ve tried Venture, Sonoma and Sequoia and it’s all the same working good, but not smooth as the original version macOS
is it okay to not have a flash drive while installing it?
Has anyone run into any issues while using it for heavy tasks like programming (e.g. Flutter Developement)? I'd like to know how smooth it is.
I have lost the opportunity to watch RUclips videos in 4K and I can’t find any answers to fix this. Anyone know how to fix it?

Hey Anson, I`m stuck into the boot loop. How to resolve this??
I recently updated my MacBook Pro (2020) to macOS 15 Sequoia, and now my sound isn't working at all. I've tried restarting, checking audio settings, and resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, but nothing seems to help. Anyone else facing this issue or have any fixes? Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks
Hi has anyone figured out why Bluetooth doesn’t work on some of the 2015 MacBook Pro after installing Sequoia?
