you need to format your drive as apfs (yes you will lose all of your files) install as normal go to post install pick your machine type ie for example 3,1 ect all the patches will show pick the named volume for install then click install then when its done click reboot
i forgot to add the post installer will also auto chose the patch type for you machine but you can manually select it
oh, and the discord server is public (for people asking when did it come out). > thecomputerclan.com/discord
try resetting the smc and the pram

@@lukejenkines449 r u ok?
Love that Cinema Display! Sad you couldn't use it.
#solution >>> Install "Post Intall Drivers" running the installer again and use the basic common USB pendrive!!! Format the disk, no only the partition, on disk utility is the first left icon to select the disk.
Yeah when he go to the 15 mins and just rebooted I went doh
yes!!!! i was really really annoyed by this ken skipped this part
J Alexandre how does installing the post-install work of the initial install never finished? Dosdude’s tutorial says to do post-install AFTER the initial install, but the install never finished.
박수민 I don’t get it. Dosdude’s tutorial says to run post-install AFTER the installation is complete, but my installation never finished.
Jay Koerner how does that make sense? Dosdude’s tutorial says to run post-install AFTER the installation is complete, but my installation never finished.
Installed catalina on my unsupported early 2011 mbp with an ssd. Works perfectly
Sharukh Bhoelan i already have patched mojave. Can I directly update?
Does AirPlay works for you? I have the same mac and its not working.
Halil Çelik Aykent if you’re already on an APFS format
Well your Mac is quite similar to a 2012 Mac, so of course it would work.
Awesome! Could you provide the link?
You know, the progress bar on take 1 on the install (after Ken partition the internal HDD to AFPS) actually moved slightly while he was talking.
It's not tech misadventures without problems. -Krazy Ken 2019
Just an update (11/3/19): After installing Catalina via dosdude1's patcher, you'll have a patcher update app. One cool update that just came out fixed the dark grey graphics on menus issue -- now my Catlina install on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro 17" has proper menu colors :D
Did ya all see that the progress bar moved when he said it doesn't? 19:09
Yep
Yep I have the same Mac
Yep...bug the hell out of me when he said it wasn't moving, but it clearly moved.

Literally had the exact same thing happen to me today with a 2009 iMac, glad I wasn't the only one having problems! But I finally got it to work, and here are a few thoughts:
1. What version of the patcher tool are you running? If you look at the changelog, just a couple days ago a new version was released that lists *Fixed an issue with the APFS booter implementation* so that might be a possible hangup. I was initially running an older version but got it to work when I went up to v1.1.19.
2. When the initial bootscreen comes up after pressing option key and external HDD isn't detected or listed, I found that I had to unplug and reinsert the USB cable into iMac to get it to detect the drive and run the installer. Weird thing but whatever, it worked, and got me past my roadblock. Best of luck!
I’ll try the new version in part 2!
@@ComputerClan have you released that and I just can’t find it?
@@ComputerClan can the patcher run on a 2011 imac
AFPS includes a ton of updated disk expectations, one of them being 4K support advanced format. Older disks sometimes will just not work, especially a 10 year old 160gb hard drive. Put in a $30 ssd!
you saying "derp" out loud sent me directly to 2012
11:50 I agree. that wall paper is amazing
5:20 meanwhile I hate when monitor and TV ports stick straight out the back; they just make the monitor effectively deeper than necessary. Even if you are blessed with a tons of desk space where you don't mind the monitor being bulkier, they still end up making cable management more hideous than necessary.
my god its like watching a voice actor install catalina patcher on a mac mini!
IKR?!
Love this. It's how things always seem to go when I'm doing this kinda thing. Best tutorial is like this and see half the things go wrong that could for someone else, then I don't have to spend quite so many hours doing all the same stuff later! :)
I almost had a heart attack when you opened the laptop that way! 😂
What laptop
This is why I always disliked Apple’s lack of hard drive lights / indicators. Plus, if you’re on a solid state drive and it’s stuck, well then you’re screwed and never know if it’s doing anything.
I would say since it was on Snow Leopard before the jump to Catalina, install the latest supported OS which was El Capitan. Then try installing Catalina. That would be my suggestion to you since I also owned a 2009 Mac Mini and done this with Mojave.
Maybe there’s some other hidden updates with the El Capitan installer that it does, I’m not 100% aware but that’s what made it work for me was updating the newest officially supported OS, and then going to the unsupported ones. Never would have any issues with it afterward.
Me: Oooh, I wonder how Ken is doing?
Walks in and finds Ken bashing his skull into the wall.
Me: Um, maybe I should come back later...
Finally .. this episode came out

Hi Mate, my daughter's laptop was hanging in the same spot until I when into the terminal and disable the SIP
"csrutil disable", rebooted and reinstalled the Catalina Patcher and it worked.
Do you delete the patcher after installation?

Sometimes a device can hate a drive. I just keep getting prohibited logo when using my Samsung 870 EVO on 2010 plastic MacBook, trying to patch to Catalina. But tried the same with a 2009 plastic macBook and it worked!
The USB drive having a such oddity can also f*ck everything!
Duuuuude! I just freaking love your sense of humour :D You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you : )
installed Catalina on my MacBook Pro 17" (Mid 2010) works perfectly.. upped memory to 8Gb swapped HDD & DVD drives with SSDs.. love it!

LMAOOOO
Being schooled about the wonders of optical media by Professor Ken was probably one of the best parts of this video 🤣
Wow, I'm actually watching this on a Catalina-running mid 2009 MacBook Pro (13") that I used dosdude1's patcher to upgrade past 10.11. My experience was much smoother ;-;
Every time Ken says conversion technology, he needs to stand up and wear the t-shirt
I should start doing that.
Yeah you should lol
You definitely highlight the reality of OS upgrades. Love it.
RUclips’s been showing your old vids in 2024
When Ken tries to teach me what an optical drive is, all I had to do is look to my left where my desktop has an optical drive. Glad I could learn what that was :P
Who needs a optical drive, my PC comes with a drink tray :p
oh guess what I'm watching this on macOS Catalina... but on a supported Mac
well I'm watching this on macOS Catalina... but on an unsupported Mac
I'm watching this on Catalina, on a Dell hackintosh, that's speced the same roughly as a dual procesor Mac 5,1 a unsupported Mac
@@jaykoerner how was your installation?
I am watching this on El Crapitan. :)
Oh guess what I'm watching this on macOS Catalina... on my pc with AMD ryzen. Lets ignore that its ryzen 1200. In config.plist its iMac Pro 2017
I am 68. Don’t forget about us old guys for used computers before we had screens and had to use punchcards, paper tape, teletypes and fight for space on the time shared computer in the computer lab.
From around 1968 to 1977 or so before personal computers.
Maybe format an external (usb) ssd to APFS bootdisk from your Macbook and use that to install Catalina on it. I've installed macOS like that on a samsung t5 ssd to use as a bootdisk for my 2010 Macbook as a temporary solution when the internal drive failed. It runs smoothly. When your external Catalina bootdisk runs ok you can copy that to the internal disk with a Time machine backup
Okay so I have my idea. I used this tool alot for my hackintosh sometimes. But i think you need to go back into the installer after you have installed the file on the system. Make sure you disk is GUID, APFS, then whatever name you want. Install Catalina half way. Then boot back off the patcher, this is the important part. Now in the patcher to go to mac os post install... then change the back at the bottom to the mac mini 3,1. Then it will select all the patches you need. (Make sure Volume is targeted to Catalina) after this click done then apply patches. This will install platform compatible and select the bottom IDE controller as well. Then make sure you rebuild cache. After this boot back into normal catalina and see what it does.
Mac OS: Whats the name of your partition?
Ken: 24!
And whats funnier? 25
Installed macOS Catalina using dosdude1 Patcher on an iMac 27" 2009 (SSD mod). Works great!
Same here, worked perfectly
Man, screw my 2008 Macbook 4,1 for not being incompatible. For having the wrong kind of integrated graphics. It's stuck with the "big cats" :(
I melted my table finish with my first gen MacBook Pro.
oop-
God, this is exactly what it was like when I tried dual booting linux and OSX
I had all the same dramas (especially with efi and the flashing question mark folder) until is discovered rEFInd. Solved all my problems. Took me the good part of a day to work it all out however.
i had this exact same issue as you on a late 2009 imac, turned out that after resetting the smc and pram fixed the issue, after doing that it booted up fine, i was also going from snow leopard to catalina so could be something to do with that
Could be, bet you the pram/nvram stores completely different values, probably confuses the hell out of Catalina to see Snow leopard crap, I also didn't see him run the post install so that's another issue, if he did he didn't show it
Jay Koerner the post install auto runs on the dosdude1 Catalina patcher, if it hadn’t run the post install then it wouldn’t of even attempted to boot apfs
Watching this at 12:30am... I died at the "guess it needs some meta bread" part
Watching this on my modded Mac Mini 2011 running Catalina on a 500gb ssd & 8 gb of ram. Unbelievable how much life is brought into the dead mini! Thanks internet community for getting me by this pandemic
Installing MacOs in unsupported macs with Dosdude1 resources is ridiculously easy. I have used it in four different Macs, included my Mac Mini early 2009. :P Dosdude1: respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just did this about a week ago on a late 2009 iMac. I left the house for two hours and came back and it was still installing. Upside, it runs beautifully!
Apple, stop prematurely obsoleting our computers!
They should bring back the 3-D dock like you have there in Snow Leopard!
You know what i didn't wanna do the bong noise anyways "it's tacky" lol you so wanted to do the bong noise.
Friggin hilarious the way you said it tho, I had to repeat that part a few times too funny :)

@@ComputerClan (: your welcome! Keep up the amazing work it's hard being a youtuber. I've been trying to rebuild my Jesseplayz channel (has over 1k). It got taken down by someone I trusted February 13th 2019. Got it back at the end of August. So alot of the people who where there watching my videos are now gone. So rebuilding is hard. I did start a new channel when my main got taken from me. I got that up to 200+. So idk what to do now. I'm stuck in a place where I'm like should I upload or not. Would love some advice (:
Ps This is the new Channel I'm replying on
No lie, I got a Linode ad before this video
The problem could be that the Mac Mini doesn't have enough RAM, I tried this on an old 2009 Polycarbobate MacBook with 2 gigs of ram and it did not work
The italian impersonation was well done 😁.
4 years later: we’re still nostalgic of this content.

Perfect video and definitely entertaining. Keep up the great work!
From using the Mojave patcher on my 2010 MacBook Pro, every minute it reports in the patcher (over USB 2.0) is actually about 7 minutes. However, I'm back on High Sierra because it's a lot snappier for this guy.
I would strongly recommend that you put an ssd on the Mac mini and also try to install form your MacBook to it's drive, boot up the Catalina installer and run post install on the Mac mini. I bet that it'll work
you cannot install macOS on a mac that is on target disk mode he needs to take out the drive
@@flyskyb737 the macOS install is done in two stages, if he does the first one on target disk mode and on the second one he patches the OS to work on that mac mini it would work, macs dont care how you installed the os since the ACPI drivers work more like OpenBSD. he just need to restart the mac into normal mode AFTER he installs the OS with the above method
you need to tell me more about these ‘see dee’ and ‘dee veedee’ things!
When are you going to make part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i honestly truied this some time ago and it Muckered up my Mac Mini.

When are you going to release the Discord Group I’m crazy for it
The Discord has been open for over a week : p
Bruh
ok
bruh moment
I am grateful they point down, or I'd have even more broken cables
Steps that should work
1. Install macOS Catalina 2.then boot back In the installer
3. Patch it using macOS Post Install
4.boot back in to the the main HDD.
It should work now.
But I can’t install the post stuff when the installation failed. Post needs to be run after the first install is complete, yes? My install never finishes; it hangs.
@drew better than I could explain.
I almost bought a Mac Mini a couple of years ago, cause the price wasn't crazy and it didn't take up so much space. But there were two deal-breakers. One, I love video games, and Apple is not the best with gaming (Yeah it has many Final Fantasy titles). Two, it doesn't work with Corel Paintshop Pro or Corel Video Studio. Which I sware by. Don't at me...
you need to format your drive as apfs (yes you will lose all of your files) install as normal go to post install pick your machine type ie for example 3,1 ect all the patches will show pick the named volume for install then click install then when its done click reboot
You need the MacOS version of a special surgeon from the Mayo Clinic who only does heart transplants on already dead people or something. The surgeon other surgeons bow to. Best of luck!!!
At 23:52 you need to force shut down the computer, then boot back into the usb and install the post-install patches and then boot back into the drive that Catalina is on. I know I’m late and you probably won’t see this, but that’s how you fix it.
On some macs it has the ghostbusters symbol there, but same thing as what you had.
Thanks for the funny and entertaining videos! 😊
The post-install is not needed. The process failed to install, so a "post" install won't work.
And I know for sure it won't work because I tried it in the follow-up (I think it was 'part 2') and it failed.
@@ComputerClan 24:20 what is this screensaver
@@NikoCubeRoot that’s Target Disk Mode (Command-T on boot)
I got Catalina on my MacBook Pro 2010. It works fine (on dark mode). I now have all my iPhone restrictions from my iPhone due to screen time. Apple needs to make a way to disable Screentime on Mac, without disabling on the iPhone. Having 2 user accounts is really super annoying.
"We don't like change" he says whilst changing an OS on a computer! 🤣🤣🤣
Me updating my windows laptop
Me: your at 100% just restart
what about part two I cant find it???
Lmao, I did the install on my Mac Pro 5,1, I just installed direct to the hard drive. You have made things so difficult when dosdude1 made it so easy. He’d be punching the screen right now.
Hmm... are you sure he'd be punching the screen? Are you sure I made things difficult? Many other people had similar issues. And did you even watch the video?! Dosdude was IN IT! There was no screen punching. ; )
Yup, watched the full video. You are funny, but the way you did things given you were using an old hard drive vs the SSD’s or fusion drives that Apple uses.

I have done this twice now, with 2 different machines incl a 2009 imac. Worked like a champ both times, although patience is *necessary* - I did not reformat either hard drive to APFS, just an FYI. YMMMV

I added (DosDude Patcher) to my old Macbook 2009, it worked ..
You should use a flash drive as the installation media, it's more reliable than a mechanical hard drive.
I never had an issue installing OS X versions on flash drives.
just get a faster SSD and then go wild with installing Catalina

and 8GB of DDR3 memory
The first Dark Mode implementation... DOS!
r/technicallythetruth
I believe it's your HDD in the Mini. Mine had similar issues. I reached one step ahead from yours, reached the second black screen Apple logo and it will just stall at 'one minute remaining'. El Capitan installed fine again and again, that explains your Snow Leopard and Windows running fine, but the patch just wouldn't until i threw in a ssd.
Me hearing ken talk about the optical drive like I don't know what it is lol
*_like, I've have the same drive that I had in my first machine years ago_*
Look at ken, teaching the kids the basics of obsolete hardware
I dunno why, but you're reminding me a lot of Joel Hodgson from the original MST3K. I find it... weirdly entertaining. Keep it up.
That man is my personal hero. Thank you ; )
Why must macOS Catalina be installed on APFS? Also, you forgot the post-install.
I thought the post-install was supposed to be installed after the installation. But the installation never succeeded.
17:08 he's a part of the xp illuminati XDXP
if you upgrade to mavericks then you can do the patcher again because you have to have mavericks or later in order to to get Catalina at all
Macs before 2010 had issues booting from USB. with Apple OS also have you done a PRAM or SMC reset
