On other videos that mention installing macos on Unsupported macs that show how to use OCLP I always mention your channel since they never go into any possible issues that might happen.
Experience on a Late 2009 27“ iMac (11,1 / AMD 4850 non-metal graphics / 16 GB RAM / i7 2.8 GHz CPU): updated OCLP to v1.2.1 and then used the system update function for Sonoma 14.1.1 - everything up and running, fast and stable, no issues found so far. 👌🏼👌🏼💪🏼
Excellent as always. Ignoring 14.1.1 as previously advised waiting for 14.2 on MBP 11.3, sticking to 13.6.1 on workhorse mini 2012, till you advise otherwise.
First of all thanks for all the great video's. On my iMac Late 2014 I run OCLP 1.2.0 with Sonoma 14.0 without any issues. If I want to upgrade Sonoma to 14.1.1, can I use the upgrade process through Setting/General/Software Update or should I ga through another OCLP install build process? (or forget and wait for 14.2)? (excuse me in case this is a silly question, I am rather new to all this)
Great update, thank you. It’s so good to be able to understand in layman’s terms the processes behind the OCLP updates as well as the different OS versions and their respective problems. This educates me but also provides a level of confidence in OCLP that no other developers provide. Really great work!
Here‘s how it worked on both my Late 2012 Mac Minis 6,1 (i5) and 6,2 (i7): 1. Prepare backups. You know the game. 2. Update OCLP and get all available root patches as shown in this video. Thanks to Mr. Macintosh! 3. Initiate Update to Sonoma macOS 14.1.1 after that. Will take about 1 hrs+ and most probable will get stuck during the last reboot process at about 40 %. Wait at least 20 minutes to be sure it got stuck. Force shutdown by press+hold the power switch. 4. Have a cable bond keyboard at hand, in vase BlueTooth might cause troubles. Restart the machine while pressing and holding the SHIFT-key to get the machine booting in safe mode. ATTENTION: this can mean holding that SHIFT button for a minute or even longer (!) untill the Apple logo appears and the note that it will take another 4 minutes (or less). Release the button and let the Mac boot into safe mode. 5. Keyboard reactions and over-all performance will be ultra-slow. Don’t be alerted by that. Log-in window comes up, log in. Open OCLP and manually start searching for root patches. It will show graphics and wireless root patches available. Get them, follow OCLP‘s instruction process and eventually reboot the machine. 6. Everything then should be up and running again. 💪🏼
to whom it may concern: Geekbench 5 shows 715 single core and 2826 multi core 💪🏼 Kingston 240 GB SSD tested on AJA app: 453 write / 432 read 💪🏼 What a neat old machine that 6,2 i7 Mac Mini still is! 😊
Also, Jessie’s Flying, who does the same stuff you do, gave you a “shout-out” - he recommended people watch your videos as well as his. In the spirit of co-operative open working you might like to do the same for his videos, which are as excellent as yours. You guys should co-operate on who presents what - your slightly different styles mean that both are useful and informative. I watch both.
Thanks for your comment. I fully agree and also watch both. Maybe for many of non native speakers is Jessie‘s language speed ( he is German) much better to understand, because Mr. Macintosh is talking very fast. This was mentioned in one of my previous comments as well. Both are doing an excellent Job and I am very thankful having them.
@@deerstalker9882I agree - Mr Mac talks very fast, i often want to say “slow down”. I suspect coding/testing-induced adhd-style (I get myself if I work too many hours without break).
Hello, as a french , I also sometime have difficulty to catch up all words of Mr Macintosh flow. I found out that I can fix this by slowing down the video on RUclips player at 0.8 at it is much understandable for me. This can help non English native audience . 😀
iMac 2015 - updated to 1.2.1 automatically. Started download of 14.1.1. Patcher pops up and wants to prepare. Yes!! Patcher download fails (as sometimes happens) and there is no way to restart it. Fortunately 14.1.1 download also failed (as sometimes happens) but now I have a previously downloaded 14.1.1 installer but no way to trigger OCLP to do the preparatory download. Fingers crossed but it would be great if there were a way to trigger that preparatory pre-install download manually. Sorry to have to use comments to report but that's what I've got.
If you updated to 14.1 before OCLP 1.2.0 and you got stuck during boot then here’s how to get out of that (at least how I did it). Make a macOS 14.1 installer drive with OCLP 1.2.0. Install like normal. When you get stuck again, shut the computer off and boot into safe mode. This allowed the installer to finish and then boot fine. This was done on a 2014 15” MBP.
Thank you for updating us every time! This really means a lot to us having to use our legacy machines up to date to latest operating system available. This is not possible without your relentless help. Thank you once again.
As always, and I know I sound like a broken record, let that machine take the time it needs. You'll be surprised to find out that what seems to be a hung-up just was processing. In most cases, your waiting time is done only if your Mac shows the user log-in screen again. Good luck! Keep em old Mac on the track! :)
Hello Brother can you tell me how do I fix slowness in Sonoma wallpapers if I put Dubai wallpapers it doesn’t lag its smooth but putting underwater or even Los Angeles pass it lags too much on my oclp Sonoma 14.0 and also 14.1.1 I am on MacBook Pro Late 2013 13 Inch running Sonoma Is there any fix for lag or slowness in wallpapers
I want to add 2 points for those MBP2016 (MBP13,2) with only 256GB internal SSD. 1) The Sonoma is big and a 64GB USB may not be big enough to use as an Installer. Try a bigger USB. 2) While Mr Macintosh is using test machines thus there is no concern for any macOS upgrade. But for those who want to upgrade the Mac-in-Use may have much fewer storage capacity for macOS upgrade. In that case, you need to use Migration Assistant to move everything to an external SSD Startup disk before doing macOS and OCLP upgrades. Hope it help some of you.
I am running 1.2 with Sonoma on my Late 2012 Mac Mini (6.2 - i7) and it works great. The MTL* program crashes I had on Ventura and older OLCP versions are gone.
Today I updated my iMac 27' end 2015 from Sonoma 14.1 to 14.1.1 using OCLP 1.2.0. Under the given circumstances I restarted, installed root patch again and all works flawlessly. As reported my MBP 15' mid 2015 was already updated three days before. So I am happy and hope it's useful for the community. Small update: Norton 360 was not working and has to be re-installed. Then it was OK..
Can you get yourself a 2011 iMac 12,1 21.5" or 12,2 27" to test on because I regularly experience problems that you never cover and that aren't getting fixed. Both are cheap as chips these days but solid as a rock with an SSD and 12+GB RAM. Not all suffered from dying GPU issues, as the HDD dies first. ;)
Got both a 21.5" mid 2011 i5 Quad-Core with 20 GB RAM and a 27" late 2009 i7 Quad Core on Sonoma. The 21.5" grounded after updating to 14.1 on OCLP 1.20. All the known work-arounds (like clearing VRAM, getting ethernet connection to update KDKs, safe mode booting, reverse root patches to the last working snapshot, starting in recovery mode) did not work out. Eventually, I had to use my Sonoma 14.0 USB boot stick with OCLP 1.0.1 on it and do a fresh install after deleting the SSD. I really thought I was ready to figure out a way of any of these problems meanwhile. But it taught me better. :) Fortunately I got a few Macs and can try around a bit. But still, it hurts my ego having to erase a drive and do a fresh install because of a problem. But hey, I took one for the team! So, if you are not into trial and fault and get nervous when your Mac doesn't respond, better stick closely to Mr. Macintosh's advice and wait for his Green Light for your explicit Mac model. Highly recommended. Thanks to everybody who's keeping them old Macs in the game. That's sustainability!
Thank you for the tips around minute 22 on reducing the stagnation in Sonoma! I am running a mid year 2011 i mac with 32 GB RAM but the processor is quite challenged by Sonoma. Little glitches and freezing up happening, so I decided to back down to Ventura till the Sonoma situation irons itself out a bit more.
Hi, thank you so much for your huge efforts. I just want to know if my MacBook Pro 13inch mid 2014 needs KDK because when the system starts downloading the Sonoma 14.1.1 update nothing pops-up to cache the KDK?
Just found an issue with OCLP 1.2.0. When I start up a Mac from an external SSD, I would expect to change the default booting up EFI and SSD by press-and-hold the control key, then select the external SSD, once-and-for-all, the Mac will start up with the new default in the future. But with OCLP 1.2.0 on MBP13,2 it's not the case. Everytime it still starts up from the internal Macintosh HD.
Yayyy🎉 it’s literally 5:38am when I’m looking at this video. I’m on my way home from work and can’t wait to jump on my MacBook Air 2015 To update n fix. Thank SIR for the video.
btw: referring to my comment on my 2012MBP - there are no Dortainia entries in /var/log. Since the post-root patches (note 14.0) are installed I think there should be (according to LaunchAgents/…auto-patch.plist)
I have the same question (for Ventura 13.6.1): do we update the regular way or download the latest OS through OLPC and go through the whole spiel again?
A note to music producers: if you have a Mac with a non-metal GPU, the whole grid and locators and play head is missing in Logic Pro 10.8. This cannot be resolved via root patching.
How is logic pro 10.8 performance , I have 2016 MBP it doesn't support 10.8, so I am planning to use oclp to install 10.8 update. Will there be any issues.
This is great, thank you. I DO want the detail to understand so keep it coming. On my 2012MBP running 14.0 with oclp 1.2.0 I have tried the system update (not with usb). During the download the OCLP kdk pre-fetch does not run. I know that when the patches are removed the wireless does not work (or does not work well - not totally-exhaustively tested). I have therefore interrupted the download. Which machines need this to run ? The launchdaemon plist is present in /Library/LaunchDaemons. When I read that plist with what MacOS thinks I should read it it starts Xcode, which demands I accept licenses and talks about fetching cmdline tools which I havent done - I mention this because it may be an issue, i would expect your Xcode to be up to date but on that machine mine may not be - are there dependencies here?
Thank you for another great video Mr Macintosh. One note of caution for users. I had an error when downloading the KDK prior to the OS update, which resulted in the patcher running the post install patcher with the old KDK, and of course the black screen issue. So I would advise users to not be a fool like I was and make sure they supervise all steps of their update. This is NOT something that can be left to update without keeping an eye on it.
I updated to OCLP 1.2.1 on my Mac Mini 2012 running 14.0. After the reboot it’s now stuck on the Progress Bar. The recovery results in an Black Screen. What can I do?
pdate: I got my system running again. The Solution was plugging in my USB-Drive that still had the Sonoma Installer Files on it and booting into install macOS Sonoma. Then I opened the terminal and removed the kext Files. Now I rebooted into the Normal Macintosh HD and Sonoma Booted fine (just without drivers. Then I used the old 1.0.1 OCLP Application that was still on my install USB-Drive and installed the old root patches again. One reboot and everything worked perfectly again. I think I will stay on Sonoma 14.0 and OCLP 1.0.1 for a little longer...
Here‘s how it worked on both my Late 2012 Mac Minis 6,1 (i5) and 6,2 (i7): 1. Prepare backups. You know the game. 2. Update OCLP and get all available root patches as shown in this video. Thanks to Mr. Macintosh! 3. Initiate Update to Sonoma macOS 14.1.1 after that. Will take about 1 hrs+ and most probable will get stuck during the last reboot process at about 40 %.

Open OCLP and manually start searching for root patches. It will show graphics and wireless root patches available. Get them, follow OCLP‘s instruction process and eventually reboot the machine. 6. Everything then should be up and running again. 💪🏼
At 16.25 what I do if I don't have that .plist? I came directly from Monterey, format the drive and install from USB drive, but everything is white screen and there is nothing in the Launch agents folder. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to prevent Open Core from always popping up and and telling you to install the latest version of it? I can't find an option to manually check when opening the app rather than it always checking automatically and always bugging you about installing the newest updated. Thanks.
Anyone having issue in MacPro 5,1 + Ventura 13.6.1 + OCLP 1.2.1 loading Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) USB MIDI driver version 1.6 (91217) and MOTU USB interface recognized and shown as active in Audio MIDI Setup?
Still have manageable issues on iMac 2017 5K 27--inch (iMac18,3) with OCLP 1.2.1 and Sonoma 14.1.1 with external SSD Startup drive on usb-c. EFI Boot must be chosen from Internal Fusion Drive, not the external SSD. Both keyboard and touchpad must be connected to the iMac till after user logged in, or password cannot be entered. Hold down option key to set default and select the mentioned combination every time the iMac starts up works more reliably than let go to start up default from previous control-option selection (30-50% chance). From power on to logged in takes 15 minutes on a 4TB Samsung T7 SSD (50% full).
Experience on a Mid 2011 21.5“ iMac i5 Quad-Core: update failed, all my known rescue trials failed Had to erase the deive and did a clean install on Sonoma 14.0 from the USB stick, OCLP v1.0.1 As meanwhile v1.2.1 wqs released, I gave it another try. And it worked out fine! Updated the machine while running Sonoma 14.0 to OCLP v1.2.1 and then updated (no boot stick but plain system settings uodste function) to Sonoma 14.1.1 - up and running! Fast and stable. Two issues so far: Maps is not showing any map and photo app is only showing blackouts when fotos are enlarged inside the app. But I guess, this will be fixed with the next update on OCLP. 💪🏼
Hello, I'm having a problem after the Sonoma 12.4 update, I can't access the desktop. /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SkyLight. framework/Versions/A/Resources/WindowServer. This message appeared when entering safe mode Can I get a benefit from the people of the experience?😓
I have a problem. Can anyone help? I have a Mac Pro mid2010. When I upgrade to Monterey for example, Metal required apps like Affinity suite, Final Cut Pro etc, crash and don't work. When I use a Metal video cards (Radeon RX560), I have to uninstall root patch and everything works great but WiFi missing and for some reason CPU's temperaute goes higher (before it was 38C to 40C, after removing root patch it is 48C to 50C). Any suggestion?
Hello. I have a macbook pro 2012 (9.1) on which I successfully changed the hard drive and now has an SSD with Sonoma 14.0 OCLP installed. Everything works perfectly. I recently purchased an iMac 27" 2013 (14.2, 8 GB RAM 1 TB HDD). I installed the Monterey OCLP version on the iMac, it works fine. I also bought another SSD (Kingston 500 gb) and first installed it in a Macbook Pro and installed the Sonoma version on the SSD for iMac 14.2). After the installation was completed, took out the SSD from the Macbook Pro and using a USB 3.0 cable, connected the SSD to the iMac and started the iMac in boot mode from the external SSD. 1 minute after the start of booting from the SSD, the boot process stops and it is impossible to enable boot operating system from an external hard drive (SSD). I won’t risk disassembling the iMac and installing the SSD inside the iMac. Does anyone know what could be wrong or how to do it correctly? I will be sincerely grateful for any answer
How do you open a bug/issue with with 1.2.1? I upgraded my MBPr (11.3) to Sonoma. When I start the new Microsoft Teams it breaks Sonoma. Safari stops working. Firefox crashes on launch. Reboot solves this. Classic Teams works. New Teams fails to connect, just says to try a restart and that loop is endless.
What OS should I run if I have a 2012 Mac Pro 5,1? I've heard rumors that Sonoma and Ventura aren't very friendly for the 6000XT series of video cards. I currently have an RX580, but might upgrade to one of those sometime in the future. Monterey seems to have no issues with that, but I want to ensure that my OS is compatible with my video editing softwares (Adobe Creative Cloud and DaVinci Resolve). Adobe's newest updates to their software doesn't work on Big Sur which is what my Mac Pro is running right now.
I had tried Sonoma 14.1 on my early 2013 15” retina MacBook Pro (10,1) and had completely given up and reverted to Ventura, but now watching your in-depth explanation of what was broken and how it’s been fixed has me wanting to try again. Super informative and very helpful video! Thanks for taking the time to make this ❤
The "/System/Volumes/Update/Update.plist" is missing for me hence am not getting the expected behaviour when attempting to upgrade to 14.1.1. Am currently on OCLP 1.2.0 and Sonoma 14.1. Any idea. Is there any where i can get the Update.plist file so i can place in the expected location?
I'm grateful for this application because I spend about $3k on a customized MacBook Pro which I need to last longer than 10 years. To have a machine that is only supported for 7 years while a PC from 2006 is able to run OS 10 but a MacBook Pro from the same year can only run Snow Leopard is most offensive.
Something weird over here. I have an old MBP, mid 2012, and a new MBA 15inch. I can't manage to create the USB stick on the MBA. Tried several times, but no luck. After that I took my old MBP and had no problems to make the stick. What could be the problem?
I updated the oclp on my mid 2012 mbp (not Sonoma yet, still on 14.0) this morning after reading in the updates appeared to have fixed what was causing computers to crash. After I installed everything, it asked for a reboot. Now it’s just stuck rebooting at like 1/3rd. What’s the best thing for me to do? Thanks
I been hoping these new versions would have h264 encode/decoding enabled for the 2011 macbook pro 13 with intel HD3000 ... h264/hevc Encode/decode is working fine on mac pro 5,1 all the way thru sonoma but I wish it were working on this old laptop which after high sierra,all other systems ive tried its Not enabled..
I will just add to the others. Much thanks to the OCLP Developers and also to you Mr. Macintosh. I am typing this on a late 2013 27in iMac running 14.1.1. and that would not have been possible without the efforts of OCLP and you. Thanks!
I wondering if someone could point in a right direction for help with a problem Im running a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 12 core, 128 gigs of ram and an Apple metal graphics card, up until now I have had no issues running OCLP I did a fresh install of Ventura yesterday so I can run Logic Pro 10.8 but ran into a problem with the timeline of logic not displaying beats and bars at the top and the timeline of the tracks way off screen to the right, it's an odd thing and I imagine its a graphics issue as Im having no problem on a MacBook Pro running Ventura and Logic 10.8... TIA...
Please please, folks.. if you use this, then please please send a buck or five to the developers! Please please stop focusing on the “It’s FREE!!” Bandwagon… Help support the developers, so they can continue their work. And come on, honestly, who cannot afford to donate $1 or even $5?
Please Help - I installed Ventura on my iMac 27 late 2013, but mire firewire interface is only supported to catalina. So I need to install Catalina over Ventura to get my hardware working again. Unfortunatly with the patcher the oldest version showing up to install is Big Sur. How can I install Catalina on an older iMac late 2013 with the Patcher? Thanks and best wishes from Berlin
I installed Sonoma 14.1.1 with OCPL 1.2.1 on a late 2012 Mac mini and everything went fine. The only thing is that it still needs my USB Drive to boot. Even that it is creating an EFI partition on my hard drive for some reason i can t see it keeping my option key pressed but only the USB Drives EFI partition. Funny is it not??? Some help here?
I installed Sonoma on my mid 2017 Macbook Pro and it developed overhating issues. The screen started having lines across the dock section with OCLP 1.1.0. I suspended further testing and reverted to Ventura
Mr. Macintosh thank you and DEV team for hard work but I have an issue with MacBook Pro 2017 after I upgraded to Sonoma using OCLP or with clean installation with photo App the Mac crash completely and not responding anymore when I try to open it so what I have to do how I can solve the problem THX
I have open core legacy patcher 1.2.1 - I have Sonoma 14.1.1 running on a 2014 mid 13inch MacBook Pro - wifi and everything is working fine - But the display is effed it in like high contrast or something very hard to see the screen and the dock is white behind not transparent- how do I fix this? All the best
Thank you so much for the incredible information and update. It is very useful and I’m happy I can still use my 2016 MacBook Pro with the latest software My only issue and I do not know if it is an issue with the OLCP or just my machine, but my FaceTime camera has not worked since installing this last year for the first time. Any thoughts on that?
Yup, for good measure it's best to update the OpenCore and Root Patches first before updating or upgrading macOS but it's best to create a new installer with the latest macOS and the latest OpenCore-Patcher then test if the installer boots find with Wifi. God bless, Rev. 21:4
Monterey is the best operating system runs smoothly on my mid 2009 macbook pro, I have tried Ventura and Sonoma but they are slow, thank you for the OCLP and everything you are doing to keep old macs alive, it's better for the environment and better for our pockets :)
….. wait I’m kind of lost. After updating to 1.2 and running the new root patches I can then update to 14.2 Sonoma And run the root patches manually from the GUI? Or do I have to do the text/code editing after updating to 14.2 so that WiFi can work? I got kind of lost at the end 😅
Is there a way for me to turn off the notifications that the OpenCore Patcher shows when there's a new version? Some of the older OpenCore Patchers work better on say 2014 Mac mini. Installing the new version seems to slow down and make things worse as far as seeing RUclips videos for the 2014 Mac mini and I had to reset it all back to the previous version and having this update message when using the OpenCore Patcher pop up every time doesn't make things better when I want to keep the version I have. I would like to turn off any update messages to keep the current version of the OPLP. Thanks!
mr mac, is there a way for the oclp team to override whatever software prevents 08-12 macbook pros from running >16gb? because there are 16gb ddr3 ram that fit and would work but when people try this it just doesnt allow the machine to work.
Good morning! I will like to know if anyone was been able to install Sonoma on a Macbook Pro 7,1 mid 2010? If so, please share how to overcome the USB 1.1 issue.
I have a MacBook Air 2017, the problem is that when I go to raise or lower the volume while I'm watching a video on QuickTime , the screen makes a white flash, which I can't solve.
Hello should i download the latest version of OCLP even if I have no intention of updating my iMac from Monterey. I just wondered if it would fix Apple TV that quits as soon as it opens. Thanks
Hello. Is the OCLP installation and using a fresh MacOS safe for users ? Can i log in to my Icloud and sleep safe ? What about any possible backdoors ? Thanks
Can anyone advise how I can easily erase my user data but keep Sonoma using OCLP ? I just want to erase all the info and gift this old Mac to someone without having to go through the install process again if there is a way, otherwise that’s what I will do , no biggie . Thanks !!!!
You see the new update on the legacy patcher it's more stable but lot of people's going to have a lot of problems with a new Apple software if you've got anything below 2014 think you're going to struggle Remember this new software needs a lot of ram remember Apple rips everything out and we've got to put it back in getting little bit more harder on Intel processor. You want to start looking away from the Intel processor because it's got one more major update and it's finished You need to move over to the m chip The Intel processors to old and it's got too many issues issues with the metal iMac there's no point haveing new software and having the Intel processor because you can't do anything on them I guarantee your Mac MacBook will slow down running the open clegacy patcher You were better off moving to the mchip bet a lot of people's got a lot of graphic problems with a new software. It's a ram eater It runs very well on a MacBook when you come to an iMac is a different story If you get stuck in a boot or upgrade boot power down restart in safemode force it on
Well I updated the computer useing the build in software update and updating to 121 and just waited a while to let the machine do its thing then I ran open core patcher everything went thru smoothly finally after head aches from now on I will wait and watch ur vids on updates thx u
I tried to upgrade afrom ventura to sonoma and god stuck had to revert back to mountain lion 10.8 and now need hands on help to upgrade back to ventura
I have an update with Sonoma but, everytime the update gets so far, like when it restarts the laptop at the end of the update, it gets stuck and does nothing else. i've tried to update it 3 times and every time, it does this. Can somebody please tell me what to do about this please? Do i have to update?>
I did the update it took a while around 1/2 hour and it rebooted a couple of times The first time it when it booted normal I had no wi fi so I did the post update and rebooted 20 minutes later it seems to be normal with wi fi etc
Have a MacBookPro 9,2. After I updated to Sonoma 14.2 from 14.1.1 I can't even login after I applied the root-patch. I have to login into safeboot and revert the rootpatch to be able to login again, and so I'm stuck with the whitescreen, I'm fucked. the opencore 1.2.1 version fucked it all up for me with the mid 2012 macbookpro
Everything worked fine on each update, installed, rootpatched, restarted and it was fine up until the MAC OS 14.2 and Opencore 1.2.1. It will not let me get into the login screen from loading after starting it up. If anyone know what I can do to fix it, I'm grateful for advice. I wish I never updated from 14.1.1 now
When I use Activity Monitor and open RUclips within Safari, AM jumps to 60 while trying to load, sometimes up to 95, then renders for a while before the RUclips page finishes loading, then won't load any previews or play any videos. When I quit and reopen Safari, Safari can jump to 13 or so. Open and Safe Panel Surface Service jumps up to about 30. I still can't load videos from RUclips in Safari. Nothing I try works. It's a weird rendering issue and it hangs no matter what I do, eventually gives me a playback ID error. All other browsers work fine (no playback error) and it works (loads previews, plays vids, etc) no problem in safe mode. This computer is a 2014 MacBook Air 7,2 with 4 GB DDR3 of memory. I don't have this issue on my 2008 3,1 with RX560 and 38 GB DDR1 with Sonoma at all as that machine seems flawless so far.
thanks for your effort. I have installed/upgraded Sonoma 14.1.1 on macbook pro 2013 13", macbook pro 2015 both 13 and 15" without any problems after installing opencore patcher 1.2.0
My upgraded 2007 iMac 20-inch was at Sonoma 14.0. I chose to wait until OCLP 1.2.0 can out. I installed 1.2.0 then ran the Sonoma 14.1.1 update through system preferences. It smoothly installed without any interactions - only requiring me to reinstall the patches. (Explained in this video) This was the snootiest OS update ever for this old machine. All my other machines got up to 14.1.1 via 1.1.0 with various hands on techniques. I was just tinkering so it was OK. But I should have waited. Saved the toughest for last. OCLP 1.2.0 is a great achievement. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! Saved my 2017 mbp with Touch Bar from antiquity according to Apple. Running Sonoma now and even upgraded my 2011 mba to Sonoma from High Sierra. Works great thanks again.
Unfortunately after updating to OCLP 1.2.0 and Sonoma 14.1.1 issues with my displays. 1) My iMac Retine 5K - 27-inch Late 2014 now suddenly has an unknown 81.5- inch display. 2) And my secondary screen is not recognized anymore. 3) mousepointer is moving arrond with delay 4) black screen instead of a wallpaper. 5) selecting text area in MS Word results in a grey area without showing the text. Moving back to 14.0......
Sticking with Monterey at this time. I'm finding some instability with Ventura and Sonoma. MTLCompiler is "unexpectedly quitting." Also photoanalysisd is "unexpectedly quitting" and is really annoying, although I understand it is indexing at the start of an install.

This truly means so much to this community. Thank you so much to all involved in this amazing project!!
Amazing work from the developers. Big thanks to you as as well. You do a great job describing the issues and how to handle them.
On other videos that mention installing macos on Unsupported macs that show how to use OCLP I always mention your channel since they never go into any possible issues that might happen.
Experience on a Late 2009 27“ iMac (11,1 / AMD 4850 non-metal graphics / 16 GB RAM / i7 2.8 GHz CPU): updated OCLP to v1.2.1 and then used the system update function for Sonoma 14.1.1 - everything up and running, fast and stable, no issues found so far. 👌🏼👌🏼💪🏼
you are definitely a genius. Thank you so much for taking your time for all of us.
Excellent as always. Ignoring 14.1.1 as previously advised waiting for 14.2 on MBP 11.3, sticking to 13.6.1 on workhorse mini 2012, till you advise otherwise.
First of all thanks for all the great video's. On my iMac Late 2014 I run OCLP 1.2.0 with Sonoma 14.0 without any issues. If I want to upgrade Sonoma to 14.1.1, can I use the upgrade process through Setting/General/Software Update or should I ga through another OCLP install build process? (or forget and wait for 14.2)? (excuse me in case this is a silly question, I am rather new to all this)
Great update, thank you. It’s so good to be able to understand in layman’s terms the processes behind the OCLP updates as well as the different OS versions and their respective problems. This educates me but also provides a level of confidence in OCLP that no other developers provide. Really great work!
WindowServer issues happened again in Sonoma 14.2 beta 2 with OCLP 1.2.0.
Here‘s how it worked on both my Late 2012 Mac Minis 6,1 (i5) and 6,2 (i7):
1. Prepare backups. You know the game.
2. Update OCLP and get all available root patches as shown in this video. Thanks to Mr. Macintosh!
3. Initiate Update to Sonoma macOS 14.1.1 after that. Will take about 1 hrs+ and most probable will get stuck during the last reboot process at about 40 %. Wait at least 20 minutes to be sure it got stuck. Force shutdown by press+hold the power switch.
4. Have a cable bond keyboard at hand, in vase BlueTooth might cause troubles.
Restart the machine while pressing and holding the SHIFT-key to get the machine booting in safe mode. ATTENTION: this can mean holding that SHIFT button for a minute or even longer (!) untill the Apple logo appears and the note that it will take another 4 minutes (or less). Release the button and let the Mac boot into safe mode.
5. Keyboard reactions and over-all performance will be ultra-slow. Don’t be alerted by that. Log-in window comes up, log in. Open OCLP and manually start searching for root patches. It will show graphics and wireless root patches available. Get them, follow OCLP‘s instruction process and eventually reboot the machine.
6. Everything then should be up and running again. 💪🏼
to whom it may concern:
Geekbench 5 shows 715 single core and 2826 multi core 💪🏼
Kingston 240 GB SSD tested on AJA app: 453 write / 432 read 💪🏼
What a neat old machine that 6,2 i7 Mac Mini still is! 😊
Also, Jessie’s Flying, who does the same stuff you do, gave you a “shout-out” - he recommended people watch your videos as well as his. In the spirit of co-operative open working you might like to do the same for his videos, which are as excellent as yours. You guys should co-operate on who presents what - your slightly different styles mean that both are useful and informative. I watch both.
Thanks for your comment. I fully agree and also watch both. Maybe for many of non native speakers is Jessie‘s language speed ( he is German) much better to understand, because Mr. Macintosh is talking very fast. This was mentioned in one of my previous comments as well. Both are doing an excellent Job and I am very thankful having them.
@@deerstalker9882I agree - Mr Mac talks very fast, i often want to say “slow down”. I suspect coding/testing-induced adhd-style (I get myself if I work too many hours without break).
Hello, as a french , I also sometime have difficulty to catch up all words of Mr Macintosh flow. I found out that I can fix this by slowing down the video on RUclips player at 0.8 at it is much understandable for me. This can help non English native audience . 😀
@@anandine10 what a great idea. My work is developing technical standards for accessibility - I will use this idea :-). Thank you.
@@anandine10 This is a great comment and very useful for the community. Merci and best regards from Hamburg/Germany
iMac 2015 - updated to 1.2.1 automatically. Started download of 14.1.1. Patcher pops up and wants to prepare. Yes!! Patcher download fails (as sometimes happens) and there is no way to restart it. Fortunately 14.1.1 download also failed (as sometimes happens) but now I have a previously downloaded 14.1.1 installer but no way to trigger OCLP to do the preparatory download. Fingers crossed but it would be great if there were a way to trigger that preparatory pre-install download manually. Sorry to have to use comments to report but that's what I've got.
If you updated to 14.1 before OCLP 1.2.0 and you got stuck during boot then here’s how to get out of that (at least how I did it). Make a macOS 14.1 installer drive with OCLP 1.2.0. Install like normal. When you get stuck again, shut the computer off and boot into safe mode. This allowed the installer to finish and then boot fine. This was done on a 2014 15” MBP.
Thank you for updating us every time! This really means a lot to us having to use our legacy machines up to date to latest operating system available. This is not possible without your relentless help. Thank you once again.
As always, and I know I sound like a broken record, let that machine take the time it needs. You'll be surprised to find out that what seems to be a hung-up just was processing. In most cases, your waiting time is done only if your Mac shows the user log-in screen again.
Good luck! Keep em old Mac on the track! :)
And ALSO thank you for taking the time to make this video for us ASAP. and breaking everything down. 🤞🏽
Hello Brother can you tell me how do I fix slowness in Sonoma wallpapers if I put Dubai wallpapers it doesn’t lag its smooth but putting underwater or even Los Angeles pass it lags too much on my oclp Sonoma 14.0 and also 14.1.1 I am on MacBook Pro Late 2013 13 Inch running Sonoma
Is there any fix for lag or slowness in wallpapers
I want to add 2 points for those MBP2016 (MBP13,2) with only 256GB internal SSD. 1) The Sonoma is big and a 64GB USB may not be big enough to use as an Installer. Try a bigger USB. 2) While Mr Macintosh is using test machines thus there is no concern for any macOS upgrade. But for those who want to upgrade the Mac-in-Use may have much fewer storage capacity for macOS upgrade. In that case, you need to use Migration Assistant to move everything to an external SSD Startup disk before doing macOS and OCLP upgrades. Hope it help some of you.
LLDB fix was big! Thanks to the team!
I am running 1.2 with Sonoma on my Late 2012 Mac Mini (6.2 - i7) and it works great. The MTL* program crashes I had on Ventura and older OLCP versions are gone.
Today I updated my iMac 27' end 2015 from Sonoma 14.1 to 14.1.1 using OCLP 1.2.0. Under the given circumstances I restarted, installed root patch again and all works flawlessly. As reported my MBP 15' mid 2015 was already updated three days before. So I am happy and hope it's useful for the community. Small update: Norton 360 was not working and has to be re-installed. Then it was OK..
Awesome in-depth video! Thank you for everything you do for the legacy Mac community!
Can you get yourself a 2011 iMac 12,1 21.5" or 12,2 27" to test on because I regularly experience problems that you never cover and that aren't getting fixed. Both are cheap as chips these days but solid as a rock with an SSD and 12+GB RAM. Not all suffered from dying GPU issues, as the HDD dies first. ;)
Got both a 21.5" mid 2011 i5 Quad-Core with 20 GB RAM and a 27" late 2009 i7 Quad Core on Sonoma. The 21.5" grounded after updating to 14.1 on OCLP 1.20. All the known work-arounds (like clearing VRAM, getting ethernet connection to update KDKs, safe mode booting, reverse root patches to the last working snapshot, starting in recovery mode) did not work out.
Eventually, I had to use my Sonoma 14.0 USB boot stick with OCLP 1.0.1 on it and do a fresh install after deleting the SSD. I really thought I was ready to figure out a way of any of these problems meanwhile. But it taught me better. :) Fortunately I got a few Macs and can try around a bit. But still, it hurts my ego having to erase a drive and do a fresh install because of a problem.
But hey, I took one for the team! So, if you are not into trial and fault and get nervous when your Mac doesn't respond, better stick closely to Mr. Macintosh's advice and wait for his Green Light for your explicit Mac model. Highly recommended. Thanks to everybody who's keeping them old Macs in the game. That's sustainability!
Thank you for the tips around minute 22 on reducing the stagnation in Sonoma! I am running a mid year 2011 i mac with 32 GB RAM but the processor is quite challenged by Sonoma. Little glitches and freezing up happening, so I decided to back down to Ventura till the Sonoma situation irons itself out a bit more.
I've got the same iMac that you have but haven't moved up from Monterey yet because I'm nervous. Is Ventura glitch free for you?
yes! no problems. It was a bit slow with my original 8 GB RAM but usually works fine! 16 GB RAM is enough to run it smoothly. @@mrtrevormjohnson
Hi, thank you so much for your huge efforts. I just want to know if my MacBook Pro 13inch mid 2014 needs KDK because when the system starts downloading the Sonoma 14.1.1 update nothing pops-up to cache the KDK?
Just found an issue with OCLP 1.2.0. When I start up a Mac from an external SSD, I would expect to change the default booting up EFI and SSD by press-and-hold the control key, then select the external SSD, once-and-for-all, the Mac will start up with the new default in the future. But with OCLP 1.2.0 on MBP13,2 it's not the case. Everytime it still starts up from the internal Macintosh HD.
Yayyy🎉 it’s literally 5:38am when I’m looking at this video. I’m on my way home from work and can’t wait to jump on my MacBook Air 2015
To update n fix.
Thank SIR for the video.
btw: referring to my comment on my 2012MBP - there are no Dortainia entries in /var/log. Since the post-root patches (note 14.0) are installed I think there should be (according to LaunchAgents/…auto-patch.plist)
I have a question : I’m on 14.1 I want to update to 14.2 beta
Do I have to do it thru oplc
Or thru regular settings>generally>update ?
I have the same question (for Ventura 13.6.1): do we update the regular way or download the latest OS through OLPC and go through the whole spiel again?
@@mwarnas I think in your case I would do a clean install since you’re going from 13.x to 14.x
I’m going from 14.1 to 14.2
A note to music producers: if you have a Mac with a non-metal GPU, the whole grid and locators and play head is missing in Logic Pro 10.8. This cannot be resolved via root patching.
How is logic pro 10.8 performance , I have 2016 MBP it doesn't support 10.8, so I am planning to use oclp to install 10.8 update. Will there be any issues.
@@Sandeep-jx5gclogic pro 10.8 works fine on my 2012 imac.
looking good on my macbook pro 2015 too
This is great, thank you. I DO want the detail to understand so keep it coming. On my 2012MBP running 14.0 with oclp 1.2.0 I have tried the system update (not with usb). During the download the OCLP kdk pre-fetch does not run. I know that when the patches are removed the wireless does not work (or does not work well - not totally-exhaustively tested). I have therefore interrupted the download. Which machines need this to run ? The launchdaemon plist is present in /Library/LaunchDaemons. When I read that plist with what MacOS thinks I should read it it starts Xcode, which demands I accept licenses and talks about fetching cmdline tools which I havent done - I mention this because it may be an issue, i would expect your Xcode to be up to date but on that machine mine may not be - are there dependencies here?
Bro Can you make a video on Installation Process of Xcode in MacOS 12. & also how i can use Xcode in MacOS 12 ?
thank you for all the info & effort - OCLP keeps even my trusty old MBpro 13" mid 2009 running with Monterey
Thanks so much to you Mr. Macintosh and to all the OCLP developers for your amazing work. You guys rock! ❤
Thank you for another great video Mr Macintosh. One note of caution for users. I had an error when downloading the KDK prior to the OS update, which resulted in the patcher running the post install patcher with the old KDK, and of course the black screen issue. So I would advise users to not be a fool like I was and make sure they supervise all steps of their update. This is NOT something that can be left to update without keeping an eye on it.
I updated to OCLP 1.2.1 on my Mac Mini 2012 running 14.0. After the reboot it’s now stuck on the Progress Bar. The recovery results in an Black Screen. What can I do?
pdate: I got my system running again. The Solution was plugging in my USB-Drive that still had the Sonoma Installer Files on it and booting into install macOS Sonoma. Then I opened the terminal and removed the kext Files. Now I rebooted into the Normal Macintosh HD and Sonoma Booted fine (just without drivers. Then I used the old 1.0.1 OCLP Application that was still on my install USB-Drive and installed the old root patches again. One reboot and everything worked perfectly again. I think I will stay on Sonoma 14.0 and OCLP 1.0.1 for a little longer...
Here‘s how it worked on both my Late 2012 Mac Minis 6,1 (i5) and 6,2 (i7):
1. Prepare backups. You know the game.
2. Update OCLP and get all available root patches as shown in this video. Thanks to Mr. Macintosh!

It will show graphics and wireless root patches available. Get them, follow OCLP‘s instruction process and eventually reboot the machine.
6. Everything then should be up and running again. 💪🏼
Well done everyone, done a great job with everything!!!!
At 16.25 what I do if I don't have that .plist? I came directly from Monterey, format the drive and install from USB drive, but everything is white screen and there is nothing in the Launch agents folder. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to prevent Open Core from always popping up and and telling you to install the latest version of it? I can't find an option to manually check when opening the app rather than it always checking automatically and always bugging you about installing the newest updated. Thanks.
☠BLACK BARON☠ C'mon developer folks ... OCLP 1.3.1 with "Resume OSX Installer download" feature.
so how do we update to the latest sonoma thru the setting update or what im not understandfing ????
So after updating all I have is a black screen

Still have manageable issues on iMac 2017 5K 27--inch (iMac18,3) with OCLP 1.2.1 and Sonoma 14.1.1 with external SSD Startup drive on usb-c. EFI Boot must be chosen from Internal Fusion Drive, not the external SSD. Both keyboard and touchpad must be connected to the iMac till after user logged in, or password cannot be entered. Hold down option key to set default and select the mentioned combination every time the iMac starts up works more reliably than let go to start up default from previous control-option selection (30-50% chance). From power on to logged in takes 15 minutes on a 4TB Samsung T7 SSD (50% full).
Experience on a Mid 2011 21.5“ iMac i5 Quad-Core: update failed, all my known rescue trials failed Had to erase the deive and did a clean install on Sonoma 14.0 from the USB stick, OCLP v1.0.1
As meanwhile v1.2.1 wqs released, I gave it another try. And it worked out fine!
Updated the machine while running Sonoma 14.0 to OCLP v1.2.1 and then updated (no boot stick but plain system settings uodste function) to Sonoma 14.1.1 - up and running! Fast and stable.
Two issues so far: Maps is not showing any map and photo app is only showing blackouts when fotos are enlarged inside the app. But I guess, this will be fixed with the next update on OCLP. 💪🏼

I have a Mac Pro mid2010. When I upgrade to Monterey for example, Metal required apps like Affinity suite, Final Cut Pro etc, crash and don't work. When I use a Metal video cards (Radeon RX560), I have to uninstall root patch and everything works great but WiFi missing and for some reason CPU's temperaute goes higher (before it was 38C to 40C, after removing root patch it is 48C to 50C). Any suggestion?
Hello. I have a macbook pro 2012 (9.1) on which I successfully changed the hard drive and now has an SSD with Sonoma 14.0 OCLP installed. Everything works perfectly. I recently purchased an iMac 27" 2013 (14.2, 8 GB RAM 1 TB HDD). I installed the Monterey OCLP version on the iMac, it works fine. I also bought another SSD (Kingston 500 gb) and first installed it in a Macbook Pro and installed the Sonoma version on the SSD for iMac 14.2). After the installation was completed, took out the SSD from the Macbook Pro and using a USB 3.0 cable, connected the SSD to the iMac and started the iMac in boot mode from the external SSD. 1 minute after the start of booting from the SSD, the boot process stops and it is impossible to enable boot operating system from an external hard drive (SSD). I won’t risk disassembling the iMac and installing the SSD inside the iMac. Does anyone know what could be wrong or how to do it correctly? I will be sincerely grateful for any answer
How do you open a bug/issue with with 1.2.1? I upgraded my MBPr (11.3) to Sonoma. When I start the new Microsoft Teams it breaks Sonoma. Safari stops working. Firefox crashes on launch. Reboot solves this. Classic Teams works. New Teams fails to connect, just says to try a restart and that loop is endless.
What OS should I run if I have a 2012 Mac Pro 5,1? I've heard rumors that Sonoma and Ventura aren't very friendly for the 6000XT series of video cards. I currently have an RX580, but might upgrade to one of those sometime in the future. Monterey seems to have no issues with that, but I want to ensure that my OS is compatible with my video editing softwares (Adobe Creative Cloud and DaVinci Resolve). Adobe's newest updates to their software doesn't work on Big Sur which is what my Mac Pro is running right now.
I had tried Sonoma 14.1 on my early 2013 15” retina MacBook Pro (10,1) and had completely given up and reverted to Ventura, but now watching your in-depth explanation of what was broken and how it’s been fixed has me wanting to try again. Super informative and very helpful video! Thanks for taking the time to make this ❤
The "/System/Volumes/Update/Update.plist" is missing for me hence am not getting the expected behaviour when attempting to upgrade to 14.1.1. Am currently on OCLP 1.2.0 and Sonoma 14.1. Any idea. Is there any where i can get the Update.plist file so i can place in the expected location?
I have macbook pro 2016 A1708 with OLCP 1.2.0 on Ventura 13.6.1. But the performance is terrible after all these updates. How do I fix this slowness?
I'm grateful for this application because I spend about $3k on a customized MacBook Pro which I need to last longer than 10 years. To have a machine that is only supported for 7 years while a PC from 2006 is able to run OS 10 but a MacBook Pro from the same year can only run Snow Leopard is most offensive.
Something weird over here. I have an old MBP, mid 2012, and a new MBA 15inch. I can't manage to create the USB stick on the MBA. Tried several times, but no luck. After that I took my old MBP and had no problems to make the stick. What could be the problem?
I updated the oclp on my mid 2012 mbp (not Sonoma yet, still on 14.0) this morning after reading in the updates appeared to have fixed what was causing computers to crash. After I installed everything, it asked for a reboot. Now it’s just stuck rebooting at like 1/3rd. What’s the best thing for me to do? Thanks
I been hoping these new versions would have h264 encode/decoding enabled for the 2011 macbook pro 13 with intel HD3000 ... h264/hevc Encode/decode is working fine on mac pro 5,1 all the way thru sonoma but I wish it were working on this old laptop which after high sierra,all other systems ive tried its Not enabled..
I will just add to the others. Much thanks to the OCLP Developers and also to you Mr. Macintosh. I am typing this on a late 2013 27in iMac running 14.1.1. and that would not have been possible without the efforts of OCLP and you. Thanks!
I wondering if someone could point in a right direction for help with a problem
Im running a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 12 core, 128 gigs of ram and an Apple metal graphics card, up until now I have had no issues running OCLP
I did a fresh install of Ventura yesterday so I can run Logic Pro 10.8 but ran into a problem with the timeline of logic not displaying beats and bars at the top and the timeline of the tracks way off screen to the right, it's an odd thing and I imagine its a graphics issue as Im having no problem on a MacBook Pro running Ventura and Logic 10.8... TIA...
Please please, folks.. if you use this, then please please send a buck or five to the developers!
Please please stop focusing on the “It’s FREE!!” Bandwagon…
Help support the developers, so they can continue their work.
And come on, honestly, who cannot afford to donate $1 or even $5?
Please Help - I installed Ventura on my iMac 27 late 2013, but mire firewire interface is only supported to catalina. So I need to install Catalina over Ventura to get my hardware working again.
Unfortunatly with the patcher the oldest version showing up to install is Big Sur. How can I install Catalina on an older iMac late 2013 with the Patcher? Thanks and best wishes from Berlin
I installed Sonoma 14.1.1 with OCPL 1.2.1 on a late 2012 Mac mini and everything went fine. The only thing is that it still needs my USB Drive to boot. Even that it is creating an EFI partition on my hard drive for some reason i can t see it keeping my option key pressed but only the USB Drives EFI partition. Funny is it not??? Some help here?
I installed Sonoma on my mid 2017 Macbook Pro and it developed overhating issues. The screen started having lines across the dock section with OCLP 1.1.0. I suspended further testing and reverted to Ventura
Mr. Macintosh thank you and DEV team for hard work but I have an issue with MacBook Pro 2017 after I upgraded to Sonoma using OCLP or with clean installation with photo App the Mac crash completely and not responding anymore when I try to open it so what I have to do how I can solve the problem THX
I have open core legacy patcher 1.2.1 - I have Sonoma 14.1.1 running on a 2014 mid 13inch MacBook Pro - wifi and everything is working fine - But the display is effed it in like high contrast or something very hard to see the screen and the dock is white behind not transparent- how do I fix this? All the best
Thank you so much for the incredible information and update. It is very useful and I’m happy I can still use my 2016 MacBook Pro with the latest software
My only issue and I do not know if it is an issue with the OLCP or just my machine, but my FaceTime camera has not worked since installing this last year for the first time. Any thoughts on that?
Yup, for good measure it's best to update the OpenCore and Root Patches first before updating or upgrading macOS but it's best to create a new installer with the latest macOS and the latest OpenCore-Patcher then test if the installer boots find with Wifi.
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Monterey is the best operating system runs smoothly on my mid 2009 macbook pro, I have tried Ventura and Sonoma but they are slow, thank you for the OCLP and everything you are doing to keep old macs alive, it's better for the environment and better for our pockets :)
….. wait I’m kind of lost.
After updating to 1.2 and running the new root patches
I can then update to 14.2 Sonoma
And run the root patches manually from the GUI?
Or do I have to do the text/code editing after updating to 14.2 so that WiFi can work?
I got kind of lost at the end 😅
Is there a way for me to turn off the notifications that the OpenCore Patcher shows when there's a new version? Some of the older OpenCore Patchers work better on say 2014 Mac mini. Installing the new version seems to slow down and make things worse as far as seeing RUclips videos for the 2014 Mac mini and I had to reset it all back to the previous version and having this update message when using the OpenCore Patcher pop up every time doesn't make things better when I want to keep the version I have. I would like to turn off any update messages to keep the current version of the OPLP. Thanks!
Mr. Macintosh community kindly help.who has his touch bar restored after oclp 1.2.0 update on 2017 mbp?
mr mac, is there a way for the oclp team to override whatever software prevents 08-12 macbook pros from running >16gb? because there are 16gb ddr3 ram that fit and would work but when people try this it just doesnt allow the machine to work.
Good morning! I will like to know if anyone was been able to install Sonoma on a Macbook Pro 7,1 mid 2010? If so, please share how to overcome the USB 1.1 issue.

Hello should i download the latest version of OCLP even if I have no intention of updating my iMac from Monterey. I just wondered if it would fix Apple TV that quits as soon as it opens. Thanks
Hello. Is the OCLP installation and using a fresh MacOS safe for users ? Can i log in to my Icloud and sleep safe ? What about any possible backdoors ? Thanks
Can anyone advise how I can easily erase my user data but keep Sonoma using OCLP ? I just want to erase all the info and gift this old Mac to someone without having to go through the install process again if there is a way, otherwise that’s what I will do , no biggie . Thanks !!!!
macOS Sonoma 14.2 Beta 2 (23C5041e
) OpenCore-Patcher 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 Not work all
Excellent as always! Thank you and the team for such a gr8 app!
everything went perfect. Installed the patches for the drivers but it seems like my menu bar doesn't look transparent. Any ideas what's wrong?
You see the new update on the legacy patcher it's more stable but lot of people's going to have a lot of problems with a new Apple software if you've got anything below 2014 think you're going to struggle
Remember this new software needs a lot of ram remember Apple rips everything out and we've got to put it back in getting little bit more harder on Intel processor. You want to start looking away from the Intel processor because it's got one more major update and it's finished
You need to move over to the m chip
The Intel processors to old and it's got too many issues issues with the metal iMac there's no point haveing new software and having the Intel processor because you can't do anything on them I guarantee your Mac MacBook will slow down running the open clegacy patcher
You were better off moving to the mchip bet a lot of people's got a lot of graphic problems with a new software. It's a ram eater
It runs very well on a MacBook when you come to an iMac is a different story
If you get stuck in a boot or upgrade boot power down restart in safemode force it on
I have MacBook Pro 13 inch, Mid 2012, can I upgrade os to latest os version with this installer ?

I have an update with Sonoma but, everytime the update gets so far, like when it restarts the laptop at the end of the update, it gets stuck and does nothing else. i've tried to update it 3 times and every time, it does this.
Can somebody please tell me what to do about this please? Do i have to update?>
I did the update it took a while around 1/2 hour and it rebooted a couple of times
The first time it when it booted normal I had no wi fi so I did the post update and rebooted 20 minutes later it seems to be normal with wi fi etc
I’m having issues with airplay, Bluetooth and stage manager
When i restore my mac in recovery, it still says “this volume is not formatted as APFS”
Bought myself a used iMac 2013 to run Big Sur on it for years.
And when I try to download any macOS, it’s giving me errors 😅
hello, it won’t let me patch it at the end it says because the amfi is enabled? im on 1.2.1
Have a MacBookPro 9,2. After I updated to Sonoma 14.2 from 14.1.1 I can't even login after I applied the root-patch. I have to login into safeboot and revert the rootpatch to be able to login again, and so I'm stuck with the whitescreen, I'm fucked. the opencore 1.2.1 version fucked it all up for me with the mid 2012 macbookpro
Everything worked fine on each update, installed, rootpatched, restarted and it was fine up until the MAC OS 14.2 and Opencore 1.2.1. It will not let me get into the login screen from loading after starting it up. If anyone know what I can do to fix it, I'm grateful for advice. I wish I never updated from 14.1.1 now
When I use Activity Monitor and open RUclips within Safari, AM jumps to 60 while trying to load, sometimes up to 95, then renders for a while before the RUclips page finishes loading, then won't load any previews or play any videos. When I quit and reopen Safari, Safari can jump to 13 or so. Open and Safe Panel Surface Service jumps up to about 30. I still can't load videos from RUclips in Safari. Nothing I try works. It's a weird rendering issue and it hangs no matter what I do, eventually gives me a playback ID error. All other browsers work fine (no playback error) and it works (loads previews, plays vids, etc) no problem in safe mode. This computer is a 2014 MacBook Air 7,2 with 4 GB DDR3 of memory. I don't have this issue on my 2008 3,1 with RX560 and 38 GB DDR1 with Sonoma at all as that machine seems flawless so far.
thanks for your effort. I have installed/upgraded Sonoma 14.1.1 on macbook pro 2013 13", macbook pro 2015 both 13 and 15" without any problems after installing opencore patcher 1.2.0
My upgraded 2007 iMac 20-inch was at Sonoma 14.0. I chose to wait until OCLP 1.2.0 can out. I installed 1.2.0 then ran the Sonoma 14.1.1 update through system preferences.
It smoothly installed without any interactions - only requiring me to reinstall the patches. (Explained in this video)
This was the snootiest OS update ever for this old machine.
All my other machines got up to 14.1.1 via 1.1.0 with various hands on techniques. I was just tinkering so it was OK. But I should have waited. Saved the toughest for last.
OCLP 1.2.0 is a great achievement. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! Saved my 2017 mbp with Touch Bar from antiquity according to Apple. Running Sonoma now and even upgraded my 2011 mba to Sonoma from High Sierra. Works great thanks again.
Unfortunately after updating to OCLP 1.2.0 and Sonoma 14.1.1 issues with my displays.
1) My iMac Retine 5K - 27-inch Late 2014 now suddenly has an unknown 81.5- inch display.
2) And my secondary screen is not recognized anymore.
3) mousepointer is moving arrond with delay
4) black screen instead of a wallpaper.
5) selecting text area in MS Word results in a grey area without showing the text.
Moving back to 14.0......
UPDATE: update to OCLP 1.2.1 resolved all issues 🙂
Sticking with Monterey at this time. I'm finding some instability with Ventura and Sonoma. MTLCompiler is "unexpectedly quitting." Also photoanalysisd is "unexpectedly quitting" and is really annoying, although I understand it is indexing at the start of an install.
