I hope you like the new walkthrough format! Give me your honest thoughts if you like it or not. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your support THANK YOU!!! 😀
Hi Mr Macintosh, this walk-through is much better, fast and quick as we all know the steps we have been doing in the last couple of years. This is much better and saves time. Thanks a lot again for the hard work you have put in. It keeps my 2012 Mac mini alive.
I think that the GPU on the Trash Can is only showing one... and any heavy graphics work is pegging the GPU. I know that software has to be written to use both GPUs.... and Davinci Resolve Stuidio that I have... it written for it.... but still only one GPU. I see that this was an issue in past versions.... which they fixed for some MacOS veersion isntallation.... so hopefully they will fix this too ;-) I agree though.... this rocks !!!!
@@TheMactrix I actually see 2 GPUs on my trashcan, and in fact it seems that apps are sharing load on them both that I had never seen before... however, this actually seems to have causing some issues when simple things like Chrome's GPU Helper or other GPU-friendly apps are trying to leverage it, I see the impacted app just stall/froze. The OS still running stable with other apps though.
Your videos are perfect. No nonsense, clear & concise. Couple that with new OCLP and what used to be a bit nerve wracking is now basically a pretty normal update. Thanks for all the help.
Just clean-installed a 2017 MBA and it went like silk. The only caveat is for people who are hoping for iPhone mirroring - if you don't have a T2 chip, you are out of luck. Thanks for your continued work in this field, it's immensely helpful.
Hey….how much ram are you using on your macbook pro 2012?I also have the same one and thinking of upgrading….how is it running?are there any battery issues?Is it hanging?
@@kushagredagar5347 I found mine in electronics recycle bin at work.. it had a bad 2gb ram stick is all, had 4gb in it. I found the owner and he said keep it.. I installed 16gb ram and 1TB SSD. Runs great on stock Catalina. Also seems to run fine on OCLP/Sonoma. Doing Sequoia now.
So glad I came across this video because my Mid 2014 MBP 13 was so sluggish with both Sonoma and Ventura and I was considering buy an M3 pro MBP 14 this week, but after installing Sequoia its been running like new again. Even the battery life improved a bit. Hopefully I can get another 3-4 years out of it. Thank you so much.
I felt the same with sonoma and went back to big sur where it is running smooth. I also have Mid 2014 MBP 13 (i5 - 16 -512). Now you made me want to try again.
I made a post yesterday (see below for detail) After messing around in OCLP setting I now appear to have full function of my Late 2011 MacBook Pro. I say appear because there are other functions to try yet but things are looking so much better now. The slow lag is gone, can watch videos now. Studio One 6 is good and so forth. Thank you and the other developers for what you guys are doing with these old / older Macs. What Apple as done to their customers in last several years is perfect Karma. Thank you guys again.
Mr Macintosh, I cannot thank you enough. I literally just followed your video and now my Mac Pro 6,1 is running Sequoia without a hitch. It was as smooth and simple as you stated. Glad I took the chance. All the best to you and your channel!
I‘ll do i5 & i7 Mac Minis Late 2012, i5 & i7 iMacs 2009 and 2011 tonight. Will keep you guys informed about how it went. Most important think learned from three years of using OCLP: don‘ panic! Mostly the machine just needs time. Let it do it’s magic and wait for it to finish the process. If stuck, kill it, restart in safe mode (loooooooong holding of the Shift button during boot until the login screen appears again - can be up to one minute or longer), run Root Patches manually on that very laggy system, restart and: there you go! Worked all the time. Even without Ethernet attached (since newer OCLP versions). 🫶🏻
@@joebonsaipoland This I don’t know as I don’t own such a machine. But you can stick with Mr. Macintosh‘s trusty step-by-step tutorials and his basic advise to NOT try it on you „daily driver“. OCLP and old Mac hardware running the latest macOS versions is still a project and failures can happen. So always make sure you did a backup (or two, on different disks) before you try installing latest macOS on an unsupported machine. Good luck - and: don’t panic! 👍🏼
@@Mr.Macintosh Thanks! Here are my findings on 4 devices: MacMini 6,1 I had to repeat the installation as it just straight up failed for whatever reason but 2nd attempt went very smooth with good performance MacBookPro 9,2 installation was pretty slow and I had to manually install opencore on the ssd afterwards because oclp didn’t trigger the usb message, performance seems good MacBookPro 11,3 quick easy installation no issues and good performance iMac 15,1 also very easy simple installation very good performance as well All in all no major issues or anything and happy with the result!
Thx Mr Macintosh. Just Updated my Mac Pro 6.1 3GHz 10-Core Intel Xenon E5; AMD FirePro D300 2GB; 64GB 1866MHz DDR3; Aura Pro X2 1TB & 2 Mac Studio Displays (2023). All is working. No Problems found right now. Performance is excellent.
Another excellent tutorial on an OCLP MacOS install from Mr. Macintosh. 💯 Note to Tim Cook and the Apple software engineers: It’s unfortunate you couldn’t (or didn’t want to) make Sequoia 15 supported on my late 2012 iMac. Umm, apparently it is possible! Thanks to the OCLP team’s hard work and Mr. Macintosh’s easy walkthrough of the OCLP installation, MacOS Sequoia 15 is working fast and flawlessly on my “unsupported 2012 Mac.” 👏 👍
Mine failed to install past the 14 minute point, no idea why. I tried Sequoia and Sonoma with no success. I am trying to go from Catalina to either Sonoma or Sequoia.
@@peterlooper7956 I also have an imac 2012 21.5 inch with NVIDIA graphics card - no success with sonoma and ventura, not sure I should even attempt Sequoia...
FINALLY UPDATED!!!! :) Running a 1T 15” 2012 Mackbookpro 9,1 with a 16g ram i7 - Been on Catalina forever! Just updated to Sequoia and the download was seamless. Thank you so much for this walkthrough!! 😊 It’s been 3 years since I’ve been able to run an updated version of excel and 100% looking forward to being able to actually download Chat GPT and other programs I’ve not been able to use. 🎉
Thank You so much Mr.Macintosh!! Followed this video, instructions were straight to the point. Just Installed macOS Sequoia 15.2 on my unsupported MacBook Pro (Retina, 15", Mid 2015) which was running macOS Monterey v12.7.6. Being a developer i needed the xcode15 which was incompatible with my MacBook Pro. You're video saved me from spending on another Mac. Thank You!!! God Bless.
Upgraded my late 2013 iMac 3.5 Quad Core i7 with no problems!! Thank u very much Mr Macintosh for your efforts. The new walkthrough format was inspiring.
My buddy showed me this tutorial and we did it on my Macbook pro 2009 that I had. It stopped working with google, firefox, couldn't do anything on it. Imessage was down, facetime. Literally became a useless brick. So we decided to try this on the laptop and it works. Just like a regular updated mac. This is amazing and shows that really hardware can last if you take care of it and keep it up and running. Big tech trying to get systems to stop so you buy the next best thing. I just need a laptop for maybe music and traveling with band doing tracks or simple email. Finally nice to have working system. I'm going to do this on my parents imac back at home and get them a working computer again since they just need it for zoom and internet. Maybe some photo storage.
Thank you for this, just installed it on my mid 2011 imac, no problems at all, will now be able to use some of my unsupported apps again. I am very grateful, thank you again🙌🙌🙏🙏
This is certainly a more personable format because it shows a bit of a human and a nice clean desktop, and I'm glad you'll have the other lengthy format.
Posting success on 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 6 core X2 Processor to Sequoia 15.0.1 I did the way where you keep apps and files. This went very fast compared to my 2011 8,3 MacBook Pro. It's getting late so I have not been able to check everything. I did get some sort of Keyboard warning but It did not seem to matter :)) Thank you guys for what you are doing. Totally Awesome putting new life into these old Macs!!
Good morning, I'm trying to install Monterey and Sequoia on MACPRO 5.1 using the procedure indicated OCLP 2.0.2. At the end of the installations, when I have to restart, I hold down the ALT key to launch EFI, it freezes and nothing happens. Even for a long time. I tried and tried again many times, with Monterey and with Sequoia. Nothing to do. Thanks if you want to answer me with some indications. MacPro 4.1>5.1 - AMD RX580 Pulse - 64 GB 1333MHz OSX High Sierra 10.13.6
@@tompittman3683 Mojave installed. Repeated the procedure as in the video. No useful results. Black screen and unable to continue. No EFI boot window to start the Monterey or Sequoia installation. Thanks
Can I upgrade to Sequioa without making an installer disk? 2017 iMac 27" 5K, 4.2 GHz Intel i7 Kaby Lake, 24 GB RAM, 1TB internal SSPOLARIS 4x NVMe SSD as boot volume, 4TB internal Crucial SATA SSD, Radeon Pro 580 with 8 GB vram, MacOS Monterey 12.x latest
Thanks for this video and the new format, Mr. Macintosh - I love the deep-dives you do (please keep them coming!) but appreciate this streamlined version and how quick it came out. I’m glad to say that after taking your sound advice to backup my system via Time Machine and preparing 2 USB installers (1 for Sonoma, the current MacOS that works fine, and another for new MacOS 15.0), I successfully upgraded to Sequoia on my late 2013 iMac (27-inch) with 16mb of ram. So far, everything is running smoothly and I’m enjoying the new tools and ride. (Note: In this case I upgraded via Settings rather than using an external USB installer, though I did this with some confidence having prepared a USB MacOS installer via Open-Core 2.0.1 in case the first attempt went south.) Huge thanks to you and the Open-Core developers that have given older Macs years of new life (and counting).
@@Jaime.Guzman Hi, I've regularly updated my iMac (late 2013, 16gb ram, 480gb SSD drive, 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5) via OCLP for a few years now. While there have been a few hiccups along the way, none have been showstoppers and the current config of Sequoia 15.0 with Open Core 2.0.1 has been the smoothest setup so far. Having said that, the usual caveats apply of backing up your data with Time Machine, and creating an external usb thumb drive installer for Catalina, in case things go south, are highly recommended. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this. It is very easy to follow. You've saved our mum's Macbook and provided her a couple more years with the machine. 10/10 would recommend.
I had my 2013 Mac Pro "Trash Can" and was sad it was stuck on MacOS Monterey. This is what I had been looking for! I followed everything...and it worked great! Thank you so much! I did some comparison benchmarking...and the machine runs a bit slower under Sequoia but that is to be expected the way other code is patched in... I am 1000% satisfied!!! Way to keep using older hardware that won't quit !!! ;-)
@@Mr.Macintosh I have an older iMac 2015 (iMac 15,1)... is the new 2.02 Open Core Legacy Patcher fit for purpose? I saw some o fhe things that supposedly don't work well. Just wanted your thoughts ;_)
As always FLAWLESS installation, thanks to OCLP and your AMAZING instructional videos! My late 2012 MacBook Pro is running like it was meant for this update! Thank you and all to OCLP!
Updated my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, 9,1) to Sequoia 15.0.1 with OCLP - seamless update and all running smoothly! Thanks so much for your very clear guidance, really appreciated!!
Hi Mr. Mac! I successfully upgraded from Monterey to Sequioa on 2010 MBP 7.1. I just don’t have keyboard and mouse function. However you did warn that that will happen. You also provided the work around. Thank you very much!
Amazing at what OCLP can do. Is there info on what OS version is best for a a particular Mac? That is, for example, running Sequoia on a 2012 Mac mini a good idea or should I use a previous version of mac OS?
Just a heads up, I have Sequoia running on my m1 imac and my 2011 27 inch imac. I am now able to successfully mirror both ways receiver and sender with zero hardware upgrades or cables. I think it maxes out at 1080p on one or both screens, ill have to do more testing, but this was not available to me before. Kind of a big deal for those wanting to save their older macs and still use the screen real estate. The 2011 does run excellent though with the ssd upgrade.
@@georgwor8955 Most welcome! I have airplay working both ways, and can max out the sender m1 imac at whatever resolution I want, airplay to the 27 inch is capped at a buttery smooth 1080p with little lag. 51'' of screen real estate!
Finally then, is it not necessary to update the GPU graphics card in the imac 2011? Can I update with Open Core with peace of mind? Any experience there?
Mac mini 3,1 from 2009 working ! with Sequoia 15.0 and OCLP 2.0.2 . Then I updated OS to 15.0.1. wifi, bluetooth, usb all are working. Only for simple tasks like browsing, email, word processing etc.
Thank you Mr Macintosh. New format of video is perfect to go quick for new installation (already knew the standard procedure to install but it is good to follow your instructions). Successfully updated to Sequoia on my MBP 8,1 late 2011 - fresh install. Had to reboot (power button 3s) one more time after system install as cursor frozen on screen after initial launch of Sequoia. Now running perfect.
thank you very much for this video, my MacAir 20212, gained a new life, and I was about to buy a new one (a lot of money saved) thank you and greetings from Poland ;-)
Today's OCLP 2.0.2 update fixed my problem that caused apps to crash when opening a H265/HEVC video file. I'm on MacPro 5.1 Radeon RX 580. Thank you to the developpers for the fix.
Hi. I have the same as you: 5,1 and RX580. I get a black screen after rebooting and holding alt to choose booting to the USB stick. Did you experience this when installing with your RX580 installed? Thanks.
Thank you for all your help as usual. I have a 2012 MacBook pro (10,1) and got Sequoia easily installed. I did notice it was a little sluggish compared to Sonoma. I did an SMC reset and now my Mac is flying again. I hope this helps someone
Bravo! These instructions were clear, worked very well. A few important notes: Use a fast disk drive for the installer. I tried with a 30 gb flash drive and it was error prone When it’s installing, it’ll reboot a few times and you have to choose EFI boot until you get to the sequoia screen. I had to manually power down once during the reboots because it got stuck. But be patient… I’m thankful for this guide, because now I can install the latest Xcode and use Swift 6+
I tried with my excellent late 2009 iMac, but I had to erase everything and go back. It got all so sluggish and gittery it was unusable. I tried many fixes, butI guess I tried to stretch it too much 😅
Once I get to the reboot step 10 and select sequoia it comes up with a 🚫 and won’t go further and then just restarts. iMac late 2015 with Mac OS Monterey latest update.
2015 iMac (17,1) issues with Sequoia 15.0.1 using OCLP 2.0.2 I have a late 2015 iMac (17,1) with a 4TB SSD and a 512GB SSD. It was a fusion drive but I replaced the HDD with the 4TB SSD and set it up as two separate drives. I did a clean install of Monterey (last supported version for this iMac) onto the 4TB SSD. Once installed, I ran OCLP 2.0.2 to prepare it. Then a OCLP USB upgrade to Sequoia 15.0.1 without doing anything to the Monterey install except basic set up (no application installs, no restores, etc). When I did this, it will not boot off the 4TB SSD but shows the Apple logo, chimes, then pauses and does the same over and over. I then did the same thing to the 512GB SSD to determine if this was an SSD problem with the other drive. The exact same thing happens with that drive. If I select either SSD as the boot drive and leave the USB Sequoia OCLP installer (I used 2.0.2 to create this) in the USB slot, it boots successfully and thinks it's booted from the USB despite me explicitally booting from one of the SSDs). I've repeated the steps of building and installing OLCP to the SSDs but the same behavior still happens. Does anyone have a similar problem and can offer some guidance?
Fantastic overview Mr Macintosh! Still looking for a video to show upgrading my iMac with OCLP Ventura to OCLP Sequoia. Not sure if i can just do the upgrade through Apple settings. Thanks for all the great videos.
Thanks very much! I was successful updating my Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) from Big Sur directly to this. Everything seems to be great except one thing... Any idea why my USB 2 ports on the computer would stop being able to power a MIDI interface box that worked fine directly plugged in under Big Sur? I did find a workaround as I plugged the box into the other port on my apple keyboard and it works, even though it's the whole keyboard/mouse rig is plugged into the same ports that don't work with the box by themselves. Anyway, thanks again. Great vid!
Excellent video brother. My mac book pro 2008/9 with unsupported OS Monterey not able to turn on wifi. Hard wire with ethernet work. Is there a setting i need to adjust. Thank you again.
You've shown the options to upgrade to Sequoia in place, as well as an erase and install, but I don't want neither. Both leave no room for errors, I would like to keep the existing Ventura, create a new partition, clone Ventura, and finally use OCLP to upgrade this copy in place. At the end there should be a dual-boot system for both Ventura and Sequoia.
Hi, Everything went fine till step 12,where when where u click continue and install on the drive,u click it and nothing happens,the continue button gets grayed out and i don’t know if it’s even doing anything.
So far the update is working well , just doing one at a time , great work on the tutorial , a big shout of to all ocpl developers and Mr Macintosh for doing a great job and sharing this tutorial video with us and keeping us with the updates Thanks to your videos I'm able to keep all my older macs up to date 👍
MacBook Pro 2016, apparently stuck in an infinite loop. The upgrade process has already restarted for the fifth time. Each time I have to give my password, agree with the license, choose the type of installation etc. The panels I see are very very tiny, almost unreadable, and I noticed the word "recovery" on the first of them.
I just can't believe the work these folks put in to do this. My 2011 MBP is still going strong, and 15.0 seems to run even better than Sonoma. Absolutely incredible! One question: anyone have issues with Photos? All my photos and videos are just black, nothing seems to show. I can see the time lengths of the videos, but the thumbnails are still blacked out. Just wondering if it is just me or a known bug? Thanks in advance.
@@JTECH7766 Thanks, but I couldn't figure out what you mean. I don't see show view options in Photos. I see it in the finder, but then again nothing about backgrounds so I don't think I was in the right place. Can you be a little more specific?
@@JordYulK if you right click in an open folder for example photos, in the drop down menu at the bottom is show more options where you can change icon spacing, folder background and other variables.
Thx Mr, Macintosh, I jut updated my macbook pro A1278 , 13" late 2011, with mac os , Sonoma 14.7.1 . My laptop had 2.4 ghz duel core ,Intel i5 , HPgraphics 3000 , 512 mb , memory 8gb DDR 3 mac hd .. All is working good, but it's temperature is increasing very fast and it's going up to 30° to 35°, degrees , I am in worry, please give me any remedies or clue for it .. or it's just a normal case.. please respond..
Thank you for the comprehensive guide! But my process stopped at the step 6:52 for whole night, is there any possible cause you can think of? I also erased the disk.
Mr.Macintosh - big fan of your channel ! Thx for the great work!! I've upgraded to 15.0 for over a month on my Mac Pro (Late 2013) running OCLP 2.0.1 , and everything seems perfect. Recently, after upgraded to OCLP 2.0.2 I found that it's giving me issues when GPU intensive apps are running, I wonder if you have experienced same problem... The Apps will stall but the OS is still handling other apps just fine. I am wondering if the OLCP2.0.2 is the reason for this, just want to FYI.
I just updated my Macbook pro 13 " from early 2013 (10.2) directly from system settings. Everything is up and running. I updated without USB stick, althougt I prepared one before and made a time machine backup for safety sake. (So far no issues detected)
Thank you Mr. Macintosh. May The Mighty God Bless You ! It worked on my Macbook Pro 2015 15-inch Mid 2015. But I install macOs Sonoma 14.7 instead of Sequoia with absolutely the same steps in your video.
Thank you kindly!!! I did encounter one issue when I got to installing Sequoia in recovery all the graphics and lettering shrunk, I have the MacBook pro 2014 500gb drive , this is great cause I saw no reason to just dump a perfectly working Maschine. It was getting real ugly when I couldn't use newer apps etc, so many thanks! Let me know about that issue, I am sure it will come up again when there is an update. Thank you
I found this format to be much better then your previous formats; your older versions had too many moving parts and caused a bit of confusion in having to stop your video, back the video up a bit and then forward the video to gain a clear understanding. Thx
@Mr.Macintosh, the only issue I’m having is that WiFi is set as “no connection” and the background stays white even though all applications pop-up. I don’t know if I clicked something wrong, but OpenCore app doesn’t seem to be on the computer either. USB still connected.
A genius man makes other geniuses. Thank you for reviving my 2014 MacBook Air after the Big Sur update. If I find any issues, I will post them. I just realized that yesterday, I could not share files with my Bluetooth. If there is a solution, please let me know.
Runs ok on my 13,2 2012 iMac. couple of issues though. Had a few problems with browsers until I turned off Stage Manger. Not enough time has passed to see if that fixes it. iPhone Mirroring does not work. I was having some Handoff issues in Sonoma, so maybe it's hardware related. 13 Pro, iOS 18.
Thank you for your video. I'm wanting to upgrade my mid 2010 mac Pro tower. I'm currently running Mohave 10.14.6. I briefly ran Monterey and found that some of my older software was incompatible. I have a Radeon RX580 graphics card, 2 x 3.46 GHZ 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, and 96 gigs of memory. I use this Mac and Adobe Creative Suite for my work. I can't afford a catastrophic failure trying to push my Mac too far so what would be your recommendation for the best OS to try and install. Thanks.
Thank you very much for sharing this great video. I have a MacBook Pro (2016 Two Bolt 8G Mem running on Monterey 12.7.6). I tried the approach outlined in this video to upgrade to Sequoia. I had no problem getting to step 10 (EFI boot). However, I cannot go past this step as I get "Recovery Assistant". What would cause this error?
This worked a treat. Once I found an external drive to use (the only flash drives I had were too small), everything was pretty smooth. What a fun thing to be able to do. I have a 2013 iMac that was basically on the block to return to Apple for recycling and I thought I'd run through this for a lark. Really fun. Seems to work just fine now. Maybe it'll have some use 🙂 Very much appreciate this information and walkthrough.
Thank you to the open core team, I am running sanoma on older but capable machines which let me run the latest adobe products/office suite without having to buy new hardware , mainly editing and processing camera raw files,and running office crap. the increase in speed with newer hardware is just not faster enough to justify any spend at the moment, I gather the same doesn't apply to video editing, and as more AI features get added to software I will eventually have to update hardware, but you have stopped at-least 3 devices going to landfill. cheers
I see that you suggest to disable also standard updates, not only automatic os upgrades. Is that right? Would it be possible to keep at least security updates for sequoia, for security purposes?
Hi, I followed step by step the process and all went perfectly well, thanks. However I encountered a few problems, basically with updating account settings on my macbook pro 2017. Many functions i cannot use because they dont recognize my logins or password settings. For instance I cannot login into the fingerprints, passwords, time machines etc. Is there anything I can do to update the update the account settings? Thanks
Hello, First of, thanks a lot for your great effort and brilliant video. I followed the steps and it installed successfully on my iMac late 2013, but I believe there is some sort of a problem with the graphic card being not read properly because photos are pixeled, and also the screen savers are showing in very strange colours. The device also loads so slow though it has 32 Giga Ram, and I changed the hard drive to SSD. Could you please help me with that.
Hello, I have question Thank you for your amazing guide It's ok I'm running sequoia on a unsupported iMac,and there is no external drive plugged in,but always in the startup I see 2 partitions,l for 4 or 5 sec and automatically start as sequoia,how can I fix the this bios?
That's great, thank you! Works like a charm. It only worked for me (mid-2015 MacBook Pro) after I deleted another partition I had. Automatic reboot was thrown off by that.
Thank you for this precious tutorial. Unfortunately after the 12th step my Mac doesn't automatically restart with the Mac os installer. I don't know why though I choose to do a clean install. This means , I clean up the entire internal hard drive. Please, can somebody help in such a case? I will really appreciate.
First of all, very good explanation and simple, loved it the video! Secondly, I installed the Sequoia but I feel that now my late 2015 iMac is way slower. How do I uninstall this one and go to Sonoma? Is it possible?
Hello, help me please! I’m having issues with the installation of Sequoia using OpenCore Legacy Patcher on my unsupported Mac Pro (MacPro6,1). I prepared the USB drive with OpenCore Legacy Patcher and successfully installed Sequoia on my Mac Pro. The installation appeared to go smoothly, so I proceeded to install it on the internal drive and ran the root patcher. After restarting, everything seemed fine, but after the third restart the next day, regardless of whether I'm actively using the system or not, the mouse pointer turns into a spinning beach ball and eventually the Mac freezes. This occurs on subsequent restarts as well. Installing Sonoma I have the same problem.
Which model of macbook pro do you have exactly? I use the mid-2010 17inch laptop. Sometimes it has issues, then others it's fine after oclp updates and configuring. Did you disable SIP from recovery mode? If not, do so by running the command 'csrutil disable' from the terminal window once in recovery mode. Then reboot and see if you can boot ok.
@@Ink_and_Motion_Studio I think the problems are coming from disabling SIP. Disabling SIP from recovery mode gives me this status which does not seem correct to me: csrutil status System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration). Configuration: Apple Internal: disabled Kext Signing: disabled Filesystem Protections: disabled Debugging Restrictions: enabled DTrace Restrictions: enabled NVRAM Protections: enabled BaseSystem Verification: enabled This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state. Can you help me understand?
I'm a total newb and tried to do this on my mid 2011 iMac. It's very sluggish and I can't get wifi connection or change users. Would you suggest I switch to an older OS or update the HD to SSD?
I have a question you may be able to answer. I used the new patcher of OCLP to put MacOS 15 on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. The instal went fine and everything appeared to work at that time. Today I fired up Safari and it played RUclips videos fine but I could not get a single streaming service to work. Is there a workaround I have not found for this issue?
MR. Macintosh, 1 question. Jessie's flying recommends one have MORE than 4GB Ram to install Sequoia. Since you didn't mention this in your video, wondering if you have an opinion. I'm currently using a 2012 MacAir with 4GB Ram.
Thank you for the informative video. Your insights have been incredibly helpful. I have a question regarding the upgrade process: I'm encountering an error when trying to upgrade my iMac from Catalina to Big Sur. (iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2012). I’ve read that it might not be compatible since my iMac has an HDD instead of an SSD. Can I still upgrade to Big Sur on an HDD, or is it not possible?
Hello Mr Macintosh. How are you? I am planning to upgrade to MacOS Sequoia from Sonoma. Right now I am running MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my MacBook Pro Late 2013, so I will install this Friday. But the thing I don’t understand is about metalib Packages. Should I follow this instruction you gave and normally install sequoia then when I would be installing root patches will oclp app install the metalib packages for haswell itself or I have to do it before installation?
Thank you really brought my iMac back to life, just one thing though, Numbers, Keynote and Pages don't work just keep crashing, any help? Once again thank you 👍

@@TheMactrix I actually see 2 GPUs on my trashcan, and in fact it seems that apps are sharing load on them both that I had never seen before... however, this actually seems to have causing some issues when simple things like Chrome's GPU Helper or other GPU-friendly apps are trying to leverage it, I see the impacted app just stall/froze. The OS still running stable with other apps though.
Your videos are perfect. No nonsense, clear & concise. Couple that with new OCLP and what used to be a bit nerve wracking is now basically a pretty normal update. Thanks for all the help.
Thanks! Another successful macOS update!
Just clean-installed a 2017 MBA and it went like silk. The only caveat is for people who are hoping for iPhone mirroring - if you don't have a T2 chip, you are out of luck. Thanks for your continued work in this field, it's immensely helpful.
NICE I'm glad it worked well for you! Yes this is a bummer since OCLP has in the past been able to unlock features like this. 😢
My M3 MBA isn't seeing my iPhone for mirroring and from what I've read there's a lot of people in the same boat. It needs some work.
I too have a 2017 non touch mbp will I get mirroring
@@Mr.Macintoshis there a form of work around to enable that feature? If not, do you think in future it will be something OCLP can unlock?

Nice concise video that's straight to the point. Thanks!
So glad I came across this video because my Mid 2014 MBP 13 was so sluggish with both Sonoma and Ventura and I was considering buy an M3 pro MBP 14 this week, but after installing Sequoia its been running like new again. Even the battery life improved a bit. Hopefully I can get another 3-4 years out of it. Thank you so much.
This is really great news! I’ve been hearing from viewers that the performance is pretty good on Sequoia! 🥲
I felt the same with sonoma and went back to big sur where it is running smooth. I also have Mid 2014 MBP 13 (i5 - 16 -512). Now you made me want to try again.
I have an iMac 2010 and now have Sequoia installed. It's seems slow, would installing a solid state drive improve this?
@@kianaleilaniYES!
Most likely it will! @@kianaleilani
I made a post yesterday (see below for detail) After messing around in OCLP setting I now appear to have full function of my Late 2011 MacBook Pro. I say appear because there are other functions to try yet but things are looking so much better now. The slow lag is gone, can watch videos now. Studio One 6 is good and so forth. Thank you and the other developers for what you
guys are doing with these old / older Macs. What Apple as done to their customers in last several years is perfect Karma. Thank you guys again.
Mr Macintosh, I cannot thank you enough. I literally just followed your video and now my Mac Pro 6,1 is running Sequoia without a hitch. It was as smooth and simple as you stated. Glad I took the chance. All the best to you and your channel!

Got 3 Mac models in progress right now, I know the procedure already but I always listen along for any last minute tips! Thanks!
You are one of the veteran installers that I like to reference! 😀 Let me know how the installations go!
I‘ll do i5 & i7 Mac Minis Late 2012, i5 & i7 iMacs 2009 and 2011 tonight. Will keep you guys informed about how it went.
Most important think learned from three years of using OCLP: don‘ panic! Mostly the machine just needs time. Let it do it’s magic and wait for it to finish the process. If stuck, kill it, restart in safe mode (loooooooong holding of the Shift button during boot until the login screen appears again - can be up to one minute or longer), run Root
Patches manually on that very laggy system, restart and: there you go! Worked all the time. Even without Ethernet attached (since newer OCLP versions). 🫶🏻
@@georgwor8955let us know I have a 2011 “17 MBP should I even consider this upgrade?
@@joebonsaipoland This I don’t know as I don’t own such a machine. But you can stick with Mr. Macintosh‘s trusty step-by-step tutorials and his basic advise to NOT try it on you „daily driver“. OCLP and old Mac hardware running the latest macOS versions is still a project and failures can happen. So always make sure you did a backup (or two, on different disks) before you try installing latest macOS on an unsupported machine. Good luck - and: don’t panic! 👍🏼
@@Mr.Macintosh Thanks! Here are my findings on 4 devices:
MacMini 6,1 I had to repeat the installation as it just straight up failed for whatever reason but 2nd attempt went very smooth with good performance
MacBookPro 9,2 installation was pretty slow and I had to manually install opencore on the ssd afterwards because oclp didn’t trigger the usb message, performance seems good
MacBookPro 11,3 quick easy installation no issues and good performance
iMac 15,1 also very easy simple installation very good performance as well
All in all no major issues or anything and happy with the result!
Thank you SO much for your videos! I found you by accident today and am SO glad I did! This 17,1 Mac is now running Sequioa! Thank you!
Thank you @EricaNelson-Powell !!!! I'm glad you found the channel, how is your iMac running?

This is fantastic news! That 6,1 is a powerhouse!
Another excellent tutorial on an OCLP MacOS install from Mr. Macintosh. 💯 Note to Tim Cook and the Apple software engineers: It’s unfortunate you couldn’t (or didn’t want to) make Sequoia 15 supported on my late 2012 iMac. Umm, apparently it is possible! Thanks to the OCLP team’s hard work and Mr. Macintosh’s easy walkthrough of the OCLP installation, MacOS Sequoia 15 is working fast and flawlessly on my “unsupported 2012 Mac.” 👏 👍
Mine failed to install past the 14 minute point, no idea why. I tried Sequoia and Sonoma with no success. I am trying to go from Catalina to either Sonoma or Sequoia.

FINALLY UPDATED!!!! :)
Running a 1T 15” 2012 Mackbookpro 9,1 with a 16g ram i7 - Been on Catalina forever! Just updated to Sequoia and the download was seamless.

Great to hear! This is a wonderful testimonial, and is why OCLP is so awesome 😀
Thank You so much Mr.Macintosh!! Followed this video, instructions were straight to the point. Just Installed macOS Sequoia 15.2 on my unsupported MacBook Pro (Retina, 15", Mid 2015) which was running macOS Monterey v12.7.6. Being a developer i needed the xcode15 which was incompatible with my MacBook Pro. You're video saved me from spending on another Mac. Thank You!!! God Bless.
Upgraded my late 2013 iMac 3.5 Quad Core i7 with no problems!! Thank u very much Mr Macintosh for your efforts. The new walkthrough format was inspiring.
My buddy showed me this tutorial and we did it on my Macbook pro 2009 that I had. It stopped working with google, firefox, couldn't do anything on it. Imessage was down, facetime. Literally became a useless brick. So we decided to try this on the laptop and it works. Just like a regular updated mac. This is amazing and shows that really hardware can last if you take care of it and keep it up and running. Big tech trying to get systems to stop so you buy the next best thing. I just need a laptop for maybe music and traveling with band doing tracks or simple email. Finally nice to have working system. I'm going to do this on my parents imac back at home and get them a working computer again since they just need it for zoom and internet. Maybe some photo storage.
Thank you for this, just installed it on my mid 2011 imac, no problems at all, will now be able to use some of my unsupported apps again. I am very grateful, thank you again🙌🙌🙏🙏
Great to hear! Thanks for letting us know how well it is running on your iMac. That 2011 is still a fantastic machine 😎
This is certainly a more personable format because it shows a bit of a human and a nice clean desktop, and I'm glad you'll have the other lengthy format.

Thank you for creating this wonderful tool, I used it and successfully installed Mac OS 15 Sequoia on my 2015 iMac.
Can I upgrade to Sequioa without making an installer disk?

Thanks for this video and the new format, Mr. Macintosh - I love the deep-dives you do (please keep them coming!) but appreciate this streamlined version and how quick it came out. I’m glad to say that after taking your sound advice to backup my system via Time Machine and preparing 2 USB installers (1 for Sonoma, the current MacOS that works fine, and another for new MacOS 15.0), I successfully upgraded to Sequoia on my late 2013 iMac (27-inch) with 16mb of ram. So far, everything is running smoothly and I’m enjoying the new tools and ride. (Note: In this case I upgraded via Settings rather than using an external USB installer, though I did this with some confidence having prepared a USB MacOS installer via Open-Core 2.0.1 in case the first attempt went south.) Huge thanks to you and the Open-Core developers that have given older Macs years of new life (and counting).
Did you have any issues? I have the same IMC as you with Catalina. Do you recommend upgrading to Sequoia?
@@Jaime.Guzman Hi, I've regularly updated my iMac (late 2013, 16gb ram, 480gb SSD drive, 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5) via OCLP for a few years now. While there have been a few hiccups along the way, none have been showstoppers and the current config of Sequoia 15.0 with Open Core 2.0.1 has been the smoothest setup so far. Having said that, the usual caveats apply of backing up your data with Time Machine, and creating an external usb thumb drive installer for Catalina, in case things go south, are highly recommended. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this. It is very easy to follow. You've saved our mum's Macbook and provided her a couple more years with the machine. 10/10 would recommend.
I had my 2013 Mac Pro "Trash Can" and was sad it was stuck on MacOS Monterey. This is what I had been looking for! I followed everything...and it worked great! Thank you so much! I did some comparison benchmarking...and the machine runs a bit slower under Sequoia but that is to be expected the way other code is patched in... I am 1000% satisfied!!! Way to keep using older hardware that won't quit !!! ;-)
Glad I could help! This is wonderful, after apple gave Monterey the boot this year, OCLP is the way 👍

Thank you @K_ArtRider 👍
Saw your video the other day and my Sequoia install went seamlessly on my 2013 Mac Pro which came in today!
Does iPhone mirroring work?
Amazing at what OCLP can do.
Is there info on what OS version is best for a a particular Mac? That is, for example, running Sequoia on a 2012 Mac mini a good idea or should I use a previous version of mac OS?
You could have mentioned KDK and Metal Libraries. I ran into problems because of them missing. Esp KDK because I have an AMD in my 2013 PBPro.
Just a heads up, I have Sequoia running on my m1 imac and my 2011 27 inch imac. I am now able to successfully mirror both ways receiver and sender with zero hardware upgrades or cables. I think it maxes out at 1080p on one or both screens, ill have to do more testing, but this was not available to me before. Kind of a big deal for those wanting to save their older macs and still use the screen real estate. The 2011 does run excellent though with the ssd upgrade.
Wow! I have to try that. 😮 Thanks!
@@georgwor8955 Most welcome! I have airplay working both ways, and can max out the sender m1 imac at whatever resolution I want, airplay to the 27 inch is capped at a buttery smooth 1080p with little lag. 51'' of screen real estate!

what's a smc reset?
Bravo! These instructions were clear, worked very well. A few important notes:
Use a fast disk drive for the installer. I tried with a 30 gb flash drive and it was error prone
When it’s installing, it’ll reboot a few times and you have to choose EFI boot until you get to the sequoia screen. I had to manually power down once during the reboots because it got stuck. But be patient…
I’m thankful for this guide, because now I can install the latest Xcode and use Swift 6+
I tried with my excellent late 2009 iMac, but I had to erase everything and go back. It got all so sluggish and gittery it was unusable. I tried many fixes, butI guess I tried to stretch it too much 😅
Thank you a lot. I was able to install successfully on mac air 2015 following your video. It gives a new life to my old MacBook ❤
Once I get to the reboot step 10 and select sequoia it comes up with a 🚫 and won’t go further and then just restarts. iMac late 2015 with Mac OS Monterey latest update.
Man, you really are a passionate person and you pass it on to us well.
2015 iMac (17,1) issues with Sequoia 15.0.1 using OCLP 2.0.2
I have a late 2015 iMac (17,1) with a 4TB SSD and a 512GB SSD. It was a fusion drive but I replaced the HDD with the 4TB SSD and set it up as two separate drives.
I did a clean install of Monterey (last supported version for this iMac) onto the 4TB SSD. Once installed, I ran OCLP 2.0.2 to prepare it. Then a OCLP USB upgrade to Sequoia 15.0.1 without doing anything to the Monterey install except basic set up (no application installs, no restores, etc). When I did this, it will not boot off the 4TB SSD but shows the Apple logo, chimes, then pauses and does the same over and over.
I then did the same thing to the 512GB SSD to determine if this was an SSD problem with the other drive. The exact same thing happens with that drive.
If I select either SSD as the boot drive and leave the USB Sequoia OCLP installer (I used 2.0.2 to create this) in the USB slot, it boots successfully and thinks it's booted from the USB despite me explicitally booting from one of the SSDs). I've repeated the steps of building and installing OLCP to the SSDs but the same behavior still happens.
Does anyone have a similar problem and can offer some guidance?
Fantastic overview Mr Macintosh! Still looking for a video to show upgrading my iMac with OCLP Ventura to OCLP Sequoia. Not sure if i can just do the upgrade through Apple settings. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thanks very much! I was successful updating my Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) from Big Sur directly to this. Everything seems to be great except one thing...
Any idea why my USB 2 ports on the computer would stop being able to power a MIDI interface box that worked fine directly plugged in under Big Sur? I did find a workaround as I plugged the box into the other port on my apple keyboard and it works, even though it's the whole keyboard/mouse rig is plugged into the same ports that don't work with the box by themselves.
Anyway, thanks again. Great vid!
Excellent video brother. My mac book pro 2008/9 with unsupported OS Monterey not able to turn on wifi. Hard wire with ethernet work. Is there a setting i need to adjust. Thank you again.
You've shown the options to upgrade to Sequoia in place, as well as an erase and install, but I don't want neither. Both leave no room for errors, I would like to keep the existing Ventura, create a new partition, clone Ventura, and finally use OCLP to upgrade this copy in place. At the end there should be a dual-boot system for both Ventura and Sequoia.

I found this format to be much better then your previous formats; your older versions had too many moving parts and caused a bit of confusion in having to stop your video, back the video up a bit and then forward the video to gain a clear understanding. Thx
@Mr.Macintosh, the only issue I’m having is that WiFi is set as “no connection” and the background stays white even though all applications pop-up. I don’t know if I clicked something wrong, but OpenCore app doesn’t seem to be on the computer either. USB still connected.
A genius man makes other geniuses. Thank you for reviving my 2014 MacBook Air after the Big Sur update. If I find any issues, I will post them.

You are a star man. Just did A Fresh Install on MacBook Pro late 2012, its running soooooo smooth 😀
Runs ok on my 13,2 2012 iMac. couple of issues though. Had a few problems with browsers until I turned off Stage Manger. Not enough time has passed to see if that fixes it. iPhone Mirroring does not work. I was having some Handoff issues in Sonoma, so maybe it's hardware related. 13 Pro, iOS 18.
Thank you for your video. I'm wanting to upgrade my mid 2010 mac Pro tower. I'm currently running Mohave 10.14.6. I briefly ran Monterey and found that some of my older software was incompatible. I have a Radeon RX580 graphics card, 2 x 3.46 GHZ 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, and 96 gigs of memory. I use this Mac and Adobe Creative Suite for my work. I can't afford a catastrophic failure trying to push my Mac too far so what would be your recommendation for the best OS to try and install. Thanks.
Thank you very much for sharing this great video. I have a MacBook Pro (2016 Two Bolt 8G Mem running on Monterey 12.7.6). I tried the approach outlined in this video to upgrade to Sequoia. I had no problem getting to step 10 (EFI boot). However, I cannot go past this step as I get "Recovery Assistant". What would cause this error?
Installed Sequoia on my mid-2015 15inch macbook pro using OCLP, and it runs better than Sonoma!
This worked a treat. Once I found an external drive to use (the only flash drives I had were too small), everything was pretty smooth. What a fun thing to be able to do. I have a 2013 iMac that was basically on the block to return to Apple for recycling and I thought I'd run through this for a lark. Really fun. Seems to work just fine now. Maybe it'll have some use 🙂 Very much appreciate this information and walkthrough.
How long did it take for it to update? For me, it looks like I might be stuck on one of the reboots.
Thank you to the open core team, I am running sanoma on older but capable machines which let me run the latest adobe products/office suite without having to buy new hardware , mainly editing and processing camera raw files,and running office crap. the increase in speed with newer hardware is just not faster enough to justify any spend at the moment, I gather the same doesn't apply to video editing, and as more AI features get added to software I will eventually have to update hardware, but you have stopped at-least 3 devices going to landfill. cheers

I see that you suggest to disable also standard updates, not only automatic os upgrades. Is that right? Would it be possible to keep at least security updates for sequoia, for security purposes?
Hi, I followed step by step the process and all went perfectly well, thanks. However I encountered a few problems, basically with updating account settings on my macbook pro 2017. Many functions i cannot use because they dont recognize my logins or password settings. For instance I cannot login into the fingerprints, passwords, time machines etc. Is there anything I can do to update the update the account settings? Thanks
Hello,
First of, thanks a lot for your great effort and brilliant video. I followed the steps and it installed successfully on my iMac late 2013, but I believe there is some sort of a problem with the graphic card being not read properly because photos are pixeled, and also the screen savers are showing in very strange colours. The device also loads so slow though it has 32 Giga Ram, and I changed the hard drive to SSD. Could you please help me with that.
I wonder if mbp8,1 will have bluetooth after I update it.
Hello, I have question
Thank you for your amazing guide
It's ok I'm running sequoia on a unsupported iMac,and there is no external drive plugged in,but always in the startup I see 2 partitions,l for 4 or 5 sec and automatically start as sequoia,how can I fix the this bios?
That's great, thank you! Works like a charm. It only worked for me (mid-2015 MacBook Pro) after I deleted another partition I had. Automatic reboot was thrown off by that.
Oh glad you figured that out and thanks for letting others know!
Thank you for this precious tutorial.
Unfortunately after the 12th step my Mac doesn't automatically restart with the Mac os installer. I don't know why though I choose to do a clean install. This means , I clean up the entire internal hard drive.
Please, can somebody help in such a case? I will really appreciate.
my 12,1 MBP 13" is now working- slightly different install path but we got there in the end ...woooohoo. thankyou for the vid!!!
Glad it’s working, keep that MBP going😀
First of all, very good explanation and simple, loved it the video! Secondly, I installed the Sequoia but I feel that now my late 2015 iMac is way slower. How do I uninstall this one and go to Sonoma? Is it possible?
Hello, help me please! I’m having issues with the installation of Sequoia using OpenCore Legacy Patcher on my unsupported Mac Pro (MacPro6,1). I prepared the USB drive with OpenCore Legacy Patcher and successfully installed Sequoia on my Mac Pro. The installation appeared to go smoothly, so I proceeded to install it on the internal drive and ran the root patcher. After restarting, everything seemed fine, but after the third restart the next day, regardless of whether I'm actively using the system or not, the mouse pointer turns into a spinning beach ball and eventually the Mac freezes. This occurs on subsequent restarts as well. Installing Sonoma I have the same problem.
Which model of macbook pro do you have exactly? I use the mid-2010 17inch laptop. Sometimes it has issues, then others it's fine after oclp updates and configuring. Did you disable SIP from recovery mode? If not, do so by running the command 'csrutil disable' from the terminal window once in recovery mode. Then reboot and see if you can boot ok.
@@Ink_and_Motion_Studio I think the problems are coming from disabling SIP. Disabling SIP from recovery mode gives me this status which does not seem correct to me:
csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: unknown (Custom Configuration).
Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: disabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: enabled
DTrace Restrictions: enabled
NVRAM Protections: enabled
BaseSystem Verification: enabled
This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.
Can you help me understand?
I'm a total newb and tried to do this on my mid 2011 iMac. It's very sluggish and I can't get wifi connection or change users. Would you suggest I switch to an older OS or update the HD to SSD?
I have a question you may be able to answer. I used the new patcher of OCLP to put MacOS 15 on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. The instal went fine and everything appeared to work at that time. Today I fired up Safari and it played RUclips videos fine but I could not get a single streaming service to work. Is there a workaround I have not found for this issue?
Same issue with the same MBP set up
Great job, installed on macbook pro 13,3 2017. Thanks a lot.
just installed on a 2014 Mac mini - flawless install and presentation. Many thanks!
MR. Macintosh, 1 question. Jessie's flying recommends one have MORE than 4GB Ram to install Sequoia. Since you didn't mention this in your video, wondering if you have an opinion. I'm currently using a 2012 MacAir with 4GB Ram.
Thank you for the informative video. Your insights have been incredibly helpful. I have a question regarding the upgrade process: I'm encountering an error when trying to upgrade my iMac from Catalina to Big Sur. (iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2012). I’ve read that it might not be compatible since my iMac has an HDD instead of an SSD. Can I still upgrade to Big Sur on an HDD, or is it not possible?
Hello Mr Macintosh. How are you? I am planning to upgrade to MacOS Sequoia from Sonoma. Right now I am running MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my MacBook Pro Late 2013, so I will install this Friday. But the thing I don’t understand is about metalib Packages. Should I follow this instruction you gave and normally install sequoia then when I would be installing root patches will oclp app install the metalib packages for haswell itself or I have to do it before installation?
Thank you really brought my iMac back to life, just one thing though, Numbers, Keynote and Pages don't work just keep crashing, any help? Once again thank you 👍
