Hey, Mr. Macintosh, thanks so much, again! for getting these videos out so promptly. My midyear 2011 imac was in the shop till just recently after a screen black out, failure to start up. Apparently my 32 GB Ram upgrade last year blew half the Ram slots out, so after a good clean including one fan that was blocked with years of dust, she is back and running both high sierra and Ventura 13.7 on a partitioned hard drive AND yesterday, successful and not quite seamless install of Sequoia on an external ssd with OCLP 2.0.2! Sequoia is running well on 16GB ram. I skipped Sonoma after multiple attempts due to constant glitching and went back to Ventura as the stable basis of the OCLP attempts on the old imac. Fortunately, while she was in the shop, i acquired a 2021 m1 imac and have the luxury of the ease of a direct update now on that system. Great work OCLP team!! This latest Sequoia ugrade was the most easy yet on the old mid year 2011 imac! Thanks so much for all your persistent ceaseless work!
I just updated Sequoia from Big Sur on my Mac Pro 2009 5,1. I was hesitant because Sur was running smooth for the most part. I wanted to get back into the supported side of things at the very least. I thought to go to monterey first but said screw it go all the way. So far its been running real smooth. Im happy I made the move. Thanks so much for your videos huge help
On a mid 2014 15 inch MacBook Pro Haswell with Iris Graphics and I am SHOCKED by how well Sequoia runs on it (Sonoma seemed to ramp up the fan more). Huge thanks to the OCLP team
My Macbook Pro 2014 13 inch somehow have Sequoia Update in the Setting when i'm currently on Big Sur so i updated through it. And it run like hell. I have to Factory Reset and install Ventura. Felt great. I don't need Sequoia . Just need Ventura to run Office 365.
A1502 Macbook Pro Retina early 2015, working well. Upgraded the m.2 ssd to 1TB and fresh installed Sequoia from a 32GB USB. Went from 10.10.5 to Catalina to Monterey on original drive, then switched out to the Crucial P3 1TB for the Sequoia. We'll keep you posted if any problems crop up.
Thanks for your wonderful support. My MBP 2015 and two iMac 27’ mid 2015 flawlessly updated. On all three machines I got an download error and with the second try it worked perfectly. Maybe I was too fast in downloading my files. Anyway I now wait for the next Sequoia release. CU and you know: no action without your advice… Regards from Germany
Just a heads up for Sonoma 14.6.7 - The USB Hub I was using on my older MBP before the patches loaded no longer allows an external mouse and keyboard to enable legacy USB support. This USB hub had worked previously for every other upgrade - but for some reason this is no longer the case. Just a warning for others thinking about attempting the latest Sonoma upgrade.
I have a 2012 13" MacBook Pro, I made the mistake of erasing the hard drive while having Sonoma installed and upgrading to Sequoia, I made the installer properly, BUT my rookie mistake in hindsight was erasing the hard drive w the view all option and erasing the toppest option and not just the volume. This clean install of sequoia could not be installed (i have all my files backed up on a 128gb usb stick) an error message kept coming up. You have to reinstall (for me, Mountain Lion, 2012 MacBook pro) to fix this potentially expensive issue, I did not know at the time, open core legacy cannot be downloaded in that version of operating system(mountain lion). I was mortified, almost defeated, I was on eBay looking for something that had Yosemite as its base (to download Opencore), at least a $230 endeavor. I digress, AFTER installing Mountain Lion, plug in your sequoia installer/booter stick you created, hold option, erase the volume(not the toppest option w view all), close disk utility, and resume with the sequoia installer, 5 reboots later you will be at the set up page. What a headache, took me like 7-9 hours to figure this out.
Hey Mr. McIntosh, good video as always. I have an iMac late 2000 1527 inch 5K and I have chosen to stick with Monterey as a primary OS with Mojave installed as a dual boot and Linux. My reason is because I require graphical functions that do not work in open core patched systems that are known. limitations for legacy GCN graphics. I have the latest open core Legacy patcher installed, and still plan to create an APFS volume for it. However, there is not a large need at this time. my family in Florida did go through the hurricane, but everyone is OK and their power has been restored. and there was minimal damage where they live.
I clicked on ‘Dowload and install’ when OCLP 2.0.1 offered me to upgrade. This is on. mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13” with Sonoma 14.7. However, at the end of the Root patch install, there we some error messages. Sorry, I didn’t write them down. So I reinstalled 2.0.1.
Updated iMac 2013 from sonoma. Installed the root patches with OCLP 2.0.1 and had the white background issue. I had updated OCLP from the last 1.x.x version. But, didn’t realise 2.0.1 defaulted to a base model imac. So I changed it to the correct one, reinstalled correct root patches rebooted and it fixed the background issue and program responses.
How were you able to fix it? I am having the same issue on Sonoma. I updated to OCLP 2.1.2 and my imac now have white background and white border on the dock and moving slow
Holding on to Ventura for 2012 MacBook Pro and 2015 27" iMac for the reason that both Sonoma and Sequoia, neither will work with streaming services with Safari. If anyone knows a workaround, I would be all ears for it!
Anyone have issues with FaceTime, iMessage, Calendars... essentially iCloud dependent apps not working after upgrading to Sequoia using OCLP on a 2016 MacBook Pro? FaceTime and iMessage won't even open. The rest open but don't sync. I tried signing out of iCloud in system settings and that just freezes and says it's signing out of iCloud but never does. Any ideas?
Hi, Thank you very much for the latest updates. Sequoia was unstable at the beginning , I formatted the SSD and reinstall it on an empty partition resulting with a deformed monster os, running OCLP corrected every thing having a stable and Wonderfull OS on mid 2014 MacBook Pro. thanks
I have a mid-2012 MBP (9,1) with 16GB RAM, 2TB Samsung SSD, 1GB VRAM, upgraded 3rd party Bluetooth card. I am running a legacy version of Photoshop because of the VRAM limit otherwise Sequoia running well.
mid-2012 MBP 15" logic board housed in a Late 2011 MBP shell, 16DB Ram, and 1 TB Samsung SSD here. what's the 3rd party Bluetooth card you're using? and is it useful to with mirroring features like the iphone and ipad connectivity?
Have Mac Pro 4.1/5.1 with dual Xeon 5680, RX 580 8GB and 80 GB of Ram. After installing OCLP 2.0.0 it only boots into Recovery Mode and won't boot from USB or anything. Supposedly supported Kingston NVMe SSD.
the boot manager Sonoma can't see the OpenCore Sequoia boot disk also? I have this issue, the hardware is a Late 2015 5K iMac and I used OpenCore 2.0.2 (I wonder if I installed a Beta version of 2.0.2 but it doesn't say that on the version info)? What could be the fix?
@ What happened is that once I upgraded OCLP to 2.0.0 my machine wouldn’t boot. I hade to make a new bootable USB and do a reinstall. Went with Sequoia and that works great now. Let’s hope it survives 15.1 that was released a few days ago.
@ I’d suggest ypu make a new USB installer and make sure you didn’t, by mistake, made it for other hardware than what you are installing on. I made a new installer with OCLP 2.0.2 and Sequoia 15.01 and that worked like a charm. I have a spare cMP 5.1 that is almost identical to my production my machine. Today I tried installing OCLP 2.1.0 and it broke the installation of 15.01 on that machine. I guess there is something with blessing the boot volume that doesn’t work, and that’s why this happens. cMP have a less restricted boot ROM than other machines and also root patched to allow installing and running without AVX support in hardware. I suggest upgrading to OCLP 2.1.0 and MacOS 15.1 by building a new USB installer and installing from it. If you can’t boot from USB I’d suggest using a USB-2.0 hub between keyboard and computer and also zap NvRAM.
Currently using OCLP Ventura for my 2011 Air i7. While it is somewhat useable, I do wish that the OCLP team would create a strip-down OS mostly focusing on browser certificates and app requirements. Creating app compatibility to the best it can and not more on the added features that can take a toll on the cpu or ram computing.
Updated to 2.0.2 on my late 2013 iMac sequoia. Still same problem. No Wi-Fi and wallpaper not updating. White screen/wallpaper which does not change even by selecting a different one
Try rebooting your router and don’t launch a web browser then try the screensavers, they need to download and the problem is the internet connection which is very buggy with Sequoia disconnecting from the internet. I reverted to Sonoma because safari would not load websites at all.
@@MacSoundSolutions Hi thanks for advice, tried but made no difference still the same Wi-Fi not connecting and the wallpaper not showing. The root patch recognises modern wireless but not patch as usually requires reboot after patch but it hangs and says return to main menu rather than reboot to apply changes.
This has finally fixed desktop widgets! I was having issues with battery status and weather widgets not displaying anything but that seems to be fixed now.
Have Sequoia 15.1 successfully installed on a late 2015 Mac. I need to know how to erase and restore to factory sittings. The Mac/OS gives an error when I try to use erase assistant and gives the error cannot perform this function because the Mac/os has been modified. Is there a provision to erase and restore in the OCLP Sequoia 15.1 build?
Hi Mr. Macintosh (or anyone who knows the answer!). I have followed the steps and successfully upgraded a 2012 MB Pro to Ventura. I decided to upgrade my 2016 MB Pro to Ventura as well. The difference between two two systems is that I have a Windows 10 partition installed on the 2016 MB Pro. I have successfully installed Ventura onto the machine, but I must use the USB drive to boot each time (regardless how many times I have followed the open core prompt to install the patches so I can boot it normally). I'm wondering if the Windows partition is the problem. Do you have any suggestions so I can boot into Ventura or Windows without using the USB drive? If I must get rid of the Windows partition, I would be OK to take that step. Thank you!
Hi my macOS Sonoma Boot Manager, the OpenCore 2.0.2 made Sequoia USB external drive boot disk- it doesn't appear even when you press 'Option' and the EFI boot' too. I'm using a Late 2015 5K iMac which has Metal. I wonder what's the fix, my external USD drive setup was successful in the past OpenCore macOS upgrades.
Mr Macintosh, Are you aware of any issues with a iMac (27 inch, Late 2012) not being able to connect to MS OneDrive App. I have installed OCLP 2.02 and Sequoia 15.0. I was able to do the same OCLP and OS install on my MBP (Retina, 15inch Mid-2015) with no issues connecting to OneDrive. I appreciate any insight you may have. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. Supper Helpful!!
Al actualizar ya no se pudo cargar desde disco se tiene que poner el usb para arrancar, me pide open core que instale en disco se hace y nada no arranca que se puede hacer ??
@Mr. Macintosh, I have been trying to achieve something for 3 days now without success, I have a MacBook Pro early 2015 and it has Monterrey, I want to get Universal Control working but I dont want to update to Sequoia. Your video was somewhat helpful but you did it on an old version of open core legacy patcher. Can you help me with this?
2010 5,1 updated flawlessly. My only issue still stems from losing USB cameras. I'm on the macOS Sequoia Developer Beta so, it may strictly be a function of being on the Developer Beta...yes, I know it's stupid to be on the Developer Beta but like Austin Powers, Danger is my middle name...
Im using mac mini 2014 and i have problems with the incoming email not in sync using the mail app. The incoming email notify me on my watch and iphone but not on my mac Viber also the incoming messages is not sync real time, i have to close the app and open it again to see the new messages
I've heard that there was an issue with the wifi on the 2017 27" imac with the sequoia install. Can you tell me if they have that resolved with the OCLP 2.0.2?
I installed this on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Air and when it was done I had slow running and a total white screen. I fixed it by running the open core software install again and reinstalling the root patches again and it came back up with the Tree Background on the page and now runs fast and perfect. I did also install it on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro. It did the same thing on the Pro machine. I did the same fix and that machine runs great now also. I installed the software from within the Mac OS system as if it was a new type machine allowed to have this software on both of these also.
Have you experienced any issues with the iCloud account and iMessage with this new update on your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro? I have mostly everything running decently and fast but I cannot make iMessage to work and cannot modify anything on my iCloud account since the information is kind of read only. Thanks for any tips
It appears that OCLP2.0.2 does not allow to "Create macOS Installer" on an empty partition of the external SSD, a process I used when installing Sonoma 14.6. When selecting this external drive, it warns that it erases it all (the current Sonoma is on it!). Is this a feature or a bug?
I just updated my MacBook from sonoma to the latest one (sonoma was done with opencore but the latest one by official update) and my mouse and keyboard are not responding much how to fix this. I searched the internet it said I have to apply the root patches, now how do I do that
Quick question. Is there a way to set my imac to do auto mac updates or at least when I push through an update, open core legacy patcher will basically auto update the software and or download the root patches automatically? Or does the root patching always have to be initially manually after mac os updates are installed? And I'm not talking about a full operating system upgrade just within the same os x but an update to it. Can't find a direct answer on this. Thank you
Since 2.0.2 been having rampant issue with my MP 5,1. Long story short Sonoma and Sequoia booth have wallpaper corruption and desktop lockup. And this is with RX580 8GB which has been dead nuts reliable. Trying to go back to Monterey thinking it was my computer being older, but now wifi and Bluetooth issue. Ventura issues with Bluetooth and also wifi too. But I know for a fact over the last 2 years the computer has been stable but since 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 I have been having issue.
So, I'm in the middle of trying to install Monterey on a MacBook5,1 Unibody. I cannot seem to get past the installer portion. A bit of an issue I suppose.
Any suggestions to resolve a non-working super drive under a dual system on a Mac Pro 3,1 - macOS El Capitan recognizes the drive, and it works? macOS Sonoma under OCLP 2.02 doesn't recognize the drive, and the eject button seems to have been nullified. Thank you.
can someone explain how he got the dual socket mac pro to work? it says on the OpenCore page that it automatically disables more than 1 CPU socket due to issues with multiple CPUs.
On iMac 2015 running Sequoia I updated OCLP to 2.0.2, ran fine. Now upon restarting I get the firmware padlock. Never seen it before and I did not set a firmware password. Machine is bricked.
Thanks for this. Updated and can confirm that my early 2015 MBP 13 works mostly great. Still not able to use iPad as extended screen (using ipad as an additional monitor) even with spoofing activated. I was able to get the ability to extend the keyboard and mouse to work on the on the ipad but only if a turned spoofing on as an Macbook Pro 16, 2
How do I revert back to 2.0.1? Having some odd issues under Ventura 13.7. I'm able to login to the OS, so I have access to revert the patches from the app.
Early 2015 Mac book air says I need to have high sierra before I can continue any download, any ideas for help ? I don’t want to use a USB installer for high sierra but if I have to and there’s not other way I may have to.
Thank you for this. However, when updating the latest OpenCore Legacy patcher it keeps on telling me that I am booting from an outdated OpenCore build: Booted 2.0.1 and Installed 2.0.2. It is asking me if I wish to updated it and I keep on saying yes but no changes. Anyone experienced this before? My machine is a iMac 27 late 2015. Thx
I updated my 4GB Mid 2011 to Sequoia as an experiment. It works, but it's slow and runs hot as expected. I will downgrade later to something more stable, like Ventura. Still, the fact it even works shows how amazing the OCLP team is!
If you haven't upgraded the HDD to an SSD, I highly recommend it as it will make a big difference. Also, upgrade your ram to the max to can. Its not too expensive, and well worth it
Finally waved goodbye to my favourite Mac Os : Monterey . Installed Oclp Ventura , inc 18.0 Safari , fresh installed with backup migration ( shame about the system settings layout ) This version runs really well on the Mac mini 2014 , performance is equal with the added bonus of support updates . Highly reccomended to all fussy Mac users . Thankyou .
OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.2 not so good on my mid 2011 I mac non metal AMD video card. Lost visual on all photos in photo viewer. Click on a blank page where photos are supposed to be, photo pops up then reduces back to blank page.
From the update 2.0.2. my macbookair7,2, after some hours start to crash any applications until i reboot. On boot after login the wallpaper take long time to load with a blackscreen. It hadn't happened to me before...
Great video Mr. Mac! I've instaled OCLP 2.0.2 and MacOS Sequoia on MBP 8.2 2011 early. Only issue I have is maps not working. Only black screen. Can you help, advice? Thanks in advance!
on my 2012 Macbook Pro 13, 2017 Macbook Air 13", 2010 iMac 27", 2011 iMac 27" all are running fine with OCLP Sequoia. Still having issues with updating from Monterey to higher on OCLP on 2008 Macbook 13" 5,1 and 2009 Macbook 5,2.
I recognized that with MacOS 15.0 Sequoia the "FindMy Objects" on my 14,2 Mac don't update. People and devices update. OCLP 2.0.2 did not solve this issue. On my iPhone (iOS 18) all works fine.
After upgrading t o Sequoia some applications not working, It is showing some error, this application is incompatible with this version of OS, how to fix this???
Having the same issue with this update as I had with 2.01. During root patching it says I have an update in progress and after unmounting my root volume it says "failed sanity checks, cannot continue". What am I doing wrong? I'm on Monterey on an iMac 13.1.
I kept my 27-inch, Late 2013 on Sonoma but upgraded to OCLP 2.0.2 and today I decided to sync the photo's app with iCloud but my photo's app doesn't work. The library file is in the bin although I didn't delete it and when I try to create a new library file so that I can sync with my iCloud Photos it just hangs and wont create. And when I empty the bin the photos library reappears in the bin a short while later. I wonder if I am the only one with this problem.
2.0.2 fixed the problem I was having with Steam (video card issue, I suppose), but my webcam issue remains (My USB-A camera(s) stopped working after updating to Sequoia (I've actually tried two different cameras that have been working since 2020.). Progress, I guess.
it works fine in my 2015 macbook pro, the only issue I have is whenever i go to watch a video on fullscreen, the tool bar always appears at the top, can't change the options and its not that bad, but just kinda annoying...
First of all, thank you for the fantastic work you are doing. Today I installed the latest version of Sonoma 14.7 on my MacBookPro11.3 based on the current Patcher 2.0.2. The installation worked perfectly without any problems. I started from the latest version Big Sur. The only problem is that the "touchpad click" function doesn't work. This was already the case after installing the version of Big Sur still supported by Apple on my Mac. The hardware diagnosis could not find any errors. My question, is my trackpad no longer supported by MacOS? Or is there a solution (firmware patch)? Either way, I have mapped everything on the pad to gestures. Thanks again, and keep the good work.
unfortunately 2.0.2 hangs when after build and installing to EFI partition. Fails to mount and load. I'm successfully running 15.1 beta on a Mac Pro 6,1
I'm running a 2011 iMac 27 with Sequoia and OpenCore 2.02. The video keeps shutting down, randomly, like the screen gone to sleep, but the sound is still running. Pressing the on button repeatedly the video comes back on. I'm also running Windows 11 in Bootcamp and the problem does not occur, so I know it's not a hardware problem with the graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro K1100M) evrything working fine up to Ventura and Sonoma. The problems started when OpenCore upgraded to 2.0.
Thank you for your videos ! A question : I have an iMac late 2015 with Sonoma and OCLP. To update to Sequoia : with update in system settings or with an external USB drive ? Thank you
Yes, but note that is where you initiate from the mac and can control the iphone. You can still airplay from the iphone to the mac screen, at least on many models if you just want to show the screen.
What USB hubs are you guys using on the older Mac to get keyboard and mouse working? The one I'm using now is no longer working and ive tried 3 other hubs with no success. Is there a specific sort of hub I should be purchasing to be able to get past the logon screen? Thanks for any help you can offer
I was having problems with installing OCP on my iMac7,1; on the system itself, if I try and open OCP in El Capitan it doesn’t even launch. If I prepare an install disk for it on another Mac, I get as far as a black screen with an Apple logo but no progress bar (just hangs). Any ideas?
I've copied this tut step by step and it keeps popping up saying I've installed it on my USB and not the HDD? dunno how thats worked and can't seem to get it onto the HDD

@ I’d suggest ypu make a new USB installer and make sure you didn’t, by mistake, made it for other hardware than what you are installing on.
I made a new installer with OCLP 2.0.2 and Sequoia 15.01 and that worked like a charm.
I have a spare cMP 5.1 that is almost identical to my production my machine. Today I tried installing OCLP 2.1.0 and it broke the installation of 15.01 on that machine. I guess there is something with blessing the boot volume that doesn’t work, and that’s why this happens. cMP have a less restricted boot ROM than other machines and also root patched to allow installing and running without AVX support in hardware.
I suggest upgrading to OCLP 2.1.0 and MacOS 15.1 by building a new USB installer and installing from it. If you can’t boot from USB I’d suggest using a USB-2.0 hub between keyboard and computer and also zap NvRAM.
Thanks. Working well on MacBookPro 8,1 late 2011 running Sequoia 15.0
Thank you for the update and for the great work you do!
Currently using OCLP Ventura for my 2011 Air i7. While it is somewhat useable, I do wish that the OCLP team would create a strip-down OS mostly focusing on browser certificates and app requirements. Creating app compatibility to the best it can and not more on the added features that can take a toll on the cpu or ram computing.
Updated to 2.0.2 on my late 2013 iMac sequoia. Still same problem. No Wi-Fi and wallpaper not updating. White screen/wallpaper which does not change even by selecting a different one
Try rebooting your router and don’t launch a web browser then try the screensavers, they need to download and the problem is the internet connection which is very buggy with Sequoia disconnecting from the internet. I reverted to Sonoma because safari would not load websites at all.
@@MacSoundSolutions thanks, will give that a try.
@@MacSoundSolutions Hi thanks for advice, tried but made no difference still the same Wi-Fi not connecting and the wallpaper not showing. The root patch recognises modern wireless but not patch as usually requires reboot after patch but it hangs and says return to main menu rather than reboot to apply changes.
@@arazzak4979 did you try deleting your saved wifi connection, connecting again and entering password?
I am having the same issue on my iMac 27 late 2015 white screen Ethernet shows local IP but cannot surf white screen
This has finally fixed desktop widgets! I was having issues with battery status and weather widgets not displaying anything but that seems to be fixed now.
Mine got stuck on 1.5.0 and didn’t let me complete the root patch as it said there was already an update happening
Have Sequoia 15.1 successfully installed on a late 2015 Mac. I need to know how to erase and restore to factory sittings. The Mac/OS gives an error when I try to use erase assistant and gives the error cannot perform this function because the Mac/os has been modified. Is there a provision to erase and restore in the OCLP Sequoia 15.1 build?
Hi Mr. Macintosh (or anyone who knows the answer!). I have followed the steps and successfully upgraded a 2012 MB Pro to Ventura. I decided to upgrade my 2016 MB Pro to Ventura as well. The difference between two two systems is that I have a Windows 10 partition installed on the 2016 MB Pro. I have successfully installed Ventura onto the machine, but I must use the USB drive to boot each time (regardless how many times I have followed the open core prompt to install the patches so I can boot it normally). I'm wondering if the Windows partition is the problem. Do you have any suggestions so I can boot into Ventura or Windows without using the USB drive? If I must get rid of the Windows partition, I would be OK to take that step. Thank you!
Hi my macOS Sonoma Boot Manager, the OpenCore 2.0.2 made Sequoia USB external drive boot disk- it doesn't appear even when you press 'Option' and the EFI boot' too. I'm using a Late 2015 5K iMac which has Metal.
I wonder what's the fix, my external USD drive setup was successful in the past OpenCore macOS upgrades.
Mr Macintosh, Are you aware of any issues with a iMac (27 inch, Late 2012) not being able to connect to MS OneDrive App. I have installed OCLP 2.02 and Sequoia 15.0. I was able to do the same OCLP and OS install on my MBP (Retina, 15inch Mid-2015) with no issues connecting to OneDrive. I appreciate any insight you may have. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. Supper Helpful!!

2010 5,1 updated flawlessly. My only issue still stems from losing USB cameras. I'm on the macOS Sequoia Developer Beta so, it may strictly be a function of being on the Developer Beta...yes, I know it's stupid to be on the Developer Beta but like Austin Powers, Danger is my middle name...

I've heard that there was an issue with the wifi on the 2017 27" imac with the sequoia install. Can you tell me if they have that resolved with the OCLP 2.0.2?
after installed Sequoia 15.0 do I need to update command line tools for XCODE
Do you have a video on how to change advanced OCLP settings, e.g. making partial features? It seems to always go back to original settings for me.
I installed this on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Air and when it was done I had slow running and a total white screen. I fixed it by running the open core software install again and reinstalling the root patches again and it came back up with the Tree Background on the page and now runs fast and perfect. I did also install it on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro. It did the same thing on the Pro machine. I did the same fix and that machine runs great now also. I installed the software from within the Mac OS system as if it was a new type machine allowed to have this software on both of these also.
Have you experienced any issues with the iCloud account and iMessage with this new update on your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro? I have mostly everything running decently and fast but I cannot make iMessage to work and cannot modify anything on my iCloud account since the information is kind of read only.
Thanks for any tips
It appears that OCLP2.0.2 does not allow to "Create macOS Installer" on an empty partition of the external SSD, a process I used when installing Sonoma 14.6. When selecting this external drive, it warns that it erases it all (the current Sonoma is on it!). Is this a feature or a bug?
Has the Photos app been fixed in this update?
I have a MBA 2015 and I just updated to Sequoia and it works about as well as Monterey did.
Does the OC patcher installer notify people that the Mac that the patch to be installed onto is too old or may experience severe performance issues?
I just updated my MacBook from sonoma to the latest one (sonoma was done with opencore but the latest one by official update) and my mouse and keyboard are not responding much how to fix this. I searched the internet it said I have to apply the root patches, now how do I do that
I need help, I cannot install root patches or kdk on iMac 2013.
Quick question. Is there a way to set my imac to do auto mac updates or at least when I push through an update, open core legacy patcher will basically auto update the software and or download the root patches automatically? Or does the root patching always have to be initially manually after mac os updates are installed? And I'm not talking about a full operating system upgrade just within the same os x but an update to it. Can't find a direct answer on this. Thank you
The shortcuts to enter recovery mode (Cmd+R/Cmd+Shift+R) doesn't work after update to Sequoia via OCLP. Someone could help?
Since 2.0.2 been having rampant issue with my MP 5,1. Long story short Sonoma and Sequoia booth have wallpaper corruption and desktop lockup. And this is with RX580 8GB which has been dead nuts reliable. Trying to go back to Monterey thinking it was my computer being older, but now wifi and Bluetooth issue. Ventura issues with Bluetooth and also wifi too. But I know for a fact over the last 2 years the computer has been stable but since 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 I have been having issue.
So, I'm in the middle of trying to install Monterey on a MacBook5,1 Unibody. I cannot seem to get past the installer portion. A bit of an issue I suppose.
hey im struggling with adding the airplay function on my 2017 4k imac is it possible with this new update?
Any suggestions to resolve a non-working super drive under a dual system on a Mac Pro 3,1 - macOS El Capitan recognizes the drive, and it works? macOS Sonoma under OCLP 2.02 doesn't recognize the drive, and the eject button seems to have been nullified. Thank you.
can someone explain how he got the dual socket mac pro to work? it says on the OpenCore page that it automatically disables more than 1 CPU socket due to issues with multiple CPUs.
After update the OCLP 2.0.2 on MacBook Pro 2017, Facetime/Camera not working on Sequoia 15.1 OS. How I can fix it?
On iMac 2015 running Sequoia I updated OCLP to 2.0.2, ran fine. Now upon restarting I get the firmware padlock. Never seen it before and I did not set a firmware password. Machine is bricked.
Thanks for this. Updated and can confirm that my early 2015 MBP 13 works mostly great. Still not able to use iPad as extended screen (using ipad as an additional monitor) even with spoofing activated. I was able to get the ability to extend the keyboard and mouse to work on the on the ipad but only if a turned spoofing on as an Macbook Pro 16, 2
So what's the consensus? Is Ventura the best OS to stay on for stability on an older MBP? (2014)
Some how I'm not getting RUclips to work on Ventura
How do I revert back to 2.0.1? Having some odd issues under Ventura 13.7. I'm able to login to the OS, so I have access to revert the patches from the app.
Early 2015 Mac book air says I need to have high sierra before I can continue any download, any ideas for help ? I don’t want to use a USB installer for high sierra but if I have to and there’s not other way I may have to.
Can you delete the older OS once you’ve completed the oclp os update to sequoia ?
Thank you for this. However, when updating the latest OpenCore Legacy patcher it keeps on telling me that I am booting from an outdated OpenCore build: Booted 2.0.1 and Installed 2.0.2. It is asking me if I wish to updated it and I keep on saying yes but no changes. Anyone experienced this before? My machine is a iMac 27 late 2015. Thx
I updated my 4GB Mid 2011 to Sequoia as an experiment. It works, but it's slow and runs hot as expected. I will downgrade later to something more stable, like Ventura. Still, the fact it even works shows how amazing the OCLP team is!
If you haven't upgraded the HDD to an SSD, I highly recommend it as it will make a big difference. Also, upgrade your ram to the max to can. Its not too expensive, and well worth it
Finally waved goodbye to my favourite Mac Os : Monterey . Installed Oclp Ventura , inc 18.0 Safari , fresh installed with backup migration ( shame about the system settings layout ) This version runs really well on the Mac mini 2014 , performance is equal with the added bonus of support updates . Highly reccomended to all fussy Mac users .
Thankyou .
I happen to be a big fan of System Settings. I actually decide what I prefer instead of following the trends.

on my 2012 Macbook Pro 13, 2017 Macbook Air 13", 2010 iMac 27", 2011 iMac 27" all are running fine with OCLP Sequoia. Still having issues with updating from Monterey to higher on OCLP on 2008 Macbook 13" 5,1 and 2009 Macbook 5,2.
I recognized that with MacOS 15.0 Sequoia the "FindMy Objects" on my 14,2 Mac don't update. People and devices update. OCLP 2.0.2 did not solve this issue. On my iPhone (iOS 18) all works fine.
On my Macbook 2008 is still running OLP Monteray. Had problems upgrading to something higher.

Have they fixed the artifact issues of the AMD drivers in MacPro 2013?
Having the same issue with this update as I had with 2.01. During root patching it says I have an update in progress and after unmounting my root volume it says "failed sanity checks, cannot continue". What am I doing wrong? I'm on Monterey on an iMac 13.1.
I kept my 27-inch, Late 2013 on Sonoma but upgraded to OCLP 2.0.2 and today I decided to sync the photo's app with iCloud but my photo's app doesn't work. The library file is in the bin although I didn't delete it and when I try to create a new library file so that I can sync with my iCloud Photos it just hangs and wont create. And when I empty the bin the photos library reappears in the bin a short while later. I wonder if I am the only one with this problem.

So far everything is working fine except there’s one issue which is the wifi 🛜 doesn’t come on when you restart your Mac until you hit the wifi signal
2.0.2 fixed the problem I was having with Steam (video card issue, I suppose), but my webcam issue remains (My USB-A camera(s) stopped working after updating to Sequoia (I've actually tried two different cameras that have been working since 2020.).
Progress, I guess.

Will it be possible for OCLP to continue once Apple ceases support for Intel-based Macs?
First of all, thank you for the fantastic work you are doing.
Today I installed the latest version of Sonoma 14.7 on my MacBookPro11.3 based on the current Patcher 2.0.2. The installation worked perfectly without any problems. I started from the latest version Big Sur. The only problem is that the "touchpad click" function doesn't work. This was already the case after installing the version of Big Sur still supported by Apple on my Mac. The hardware diagnosis could not find any errors. My question, is my trackpad no longer supported by MacOS? Or is there a solution (firmware patch)? Either way, I have mapped everything on the pad to gestures. Thanks again, and keep the good work.
unfortunately 2.0.2 hangs when after build and installing to EFI partition. Fails to mount and load. I'm successfully running 15.1 beta on a Mac Pro 6,1
running this with macOS 15.1 beta 5 on the 2017 MacBook Pro with the infamous touch bar. a single issue is the messaging app that keeps crashing.
I'm running a 2011 iMac 27 with Sequoia and OpenCore 2.02. The video keeps shutting down, randomly, like the screen gone to sleep, but the sound is still running. Pressing the on button repeatedly the video comes back on. I'm also running Windows 11 in Bootcamp and the problem does not occur, so I know it's not a hardware problem with the graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro K1100M) evrything working fine up to Ventura and Sonoma. The problems started when OpenCore upgraded to 2.0.
Thank you for your videos ! A question : I have an iMac late 2015 with Sonoma and OCLP. To update to Sequoia : with update in system settings or with an external USB drive ? Thank you
I read that iPhone Mirroring will not work because it needs M1 chip or T2 Security.
Yes, but note that is where you initiate from the mac and can control the iphone. You can still airplay from the iphone to the mac screen, at least on many models if you just want to show the screen.
