Jessie, great work again. In Germany all Server running hot because of massive traffic so I will wait a while before I do my work. After your video I’m confident I will work. I keep you updated. Tschüss aus Hamburg Update: MBP and IMac 2015 flawlessy updated without any ussues.
🙏 Thank you, Jessie, for your precise and detailed guide. Today I successfully updated my cheese grater, and everything went smoothly without any issues. In my case, I encountered two differences compared to your explanations. The first one is that even though I had installed KDK and Metal before initiating the update from the system settings, during the download of the new macOS version, OCLP automatically opened with a window that, after detecting the macOS version being installed, prompted me to install KDK again. For extra security, I did so, and this ensured that upon reboot, I did not experience a white screen, and the graphics were already functioning normally. The second difference is that after the successful update, the system was very slow. So, I opened OCLP and ran the “Post-install Root Patch” procedure. After rebooting, everything worked perfectly. 🖥 I followed the update procedure to macOS Sequoia 15.1 build 24B83 on a Mid 2012 Mac Pro Model: MacPro5,1, supported by OCLP version 2.1.2, starting from macOS Sonoma 14.4 and OCLP 1.4.3.
Mid 2014 Macbook Pro. 16gb ram 500gb ssd was on Sonoma. Sequoia install was flawless. It also has no running issues that I have discovered. Seems faster that Sonoma for sure. Very happy with this OS Thanks for the great instructions and those ever so important tips.
I wanted to say thank you so much this work very well on my old 2014 mac mini with 8 gig of ram now I am able to used this mac for school without needing buying another computer
Thanks for the great videos. Macbook Pro 2015 here working happily. One tip I'd pass on (you mentioned it last year sometime) - if the apple logo and loading bar freezes, power it down and reboot. hold the shift key to load in safe mode. then completes without a problem.
Hi Jessie, I have an iMac 27" from late 2014. I did everything as you suggested and it worked great. Thank you very much for your videos. They are an invaluable help for anyone who is not so professional with MacOS.
Hi Jessie Another brilliant video from you! Highly interesting and very informative and educational! Today, after updating the OpenCore patcher from 1.5 to 2.0.1, I set up Sequoia on my Late 2015 on Sonoma without any problems! Absolutely without any problem!!! SUPER! My conclusion: If the previous MacOS (in my case Sonoma) is already running flawlessly under OpenCore Patcher, updating to the successor OS is absolutely no problem. At least in my case! Thanks again Jessie for your huge commitment! BTW are you German? 🙂
Thank you for providing the method. I bought a Macbook Pro in 2012 and will try it when I have time. I saw an article on the preview screen of RUclips, a video about hacking Apple, and then after seeing your video, I thought about it carefully and found that the real goal of Microsoft's push for AI PC is to have one more button and the MacOS keyboard button below Shift FN, Control, Option, and Command are the same. Secondly, the Apple M series is an ARM architecture. Assuming that future desktop hosts will be structured in line with Microsoft's AI PC definition, that is, Apple's MacOS can be installed.
Things change fast when you’re Flying (Jessie’s). It wasn’t long ago at all that unsupported installs were individual science projects that required me to make a detailed tutorial for myself before diving in. Today, the crew at OCLP, along with you, Jessie - testing, summarizing, proving - have made unsupported installs pretty much exactly as easy as supported installs, but oh so much more satisfying! All that’s missing is some OCLP theme music once your Mac is ready. I’m joking about the theme music. Please don’t mention it. Really, no theme music is just fine.
I installed Sequoia on my retina mbp 2012-2013 model with 16gb ram i7 processor, nvidea gpu and I think it works just the same as Sonoma did. It was the same as to update it as when I installed sonoma so no issues at all. Thanks
Thanks for everything Jessie! Waiting for the iMac 27" 2011 video to keep my beloved one working on Sequoia. (Sonoma with OCLP 2.0.0 on that iMac runs flawlesly, even better than 1.5.0)
@@JessiesFlying I think so. iMac 2011 27" core i5 2.7Ghz, AMD Radeon HD6770M, 1Tb ssd, 16Gb Ram. Stock, no mods whatsoever. Didnt know I can upgrade to a Metal GPU (im really quite new in OCLP, but I love this iMac and want to keep it alive)
@@robertowespi8599 Hello, could you give me the steps to follow so that everything works with Sonoma or Monterey, I have almost the same model as you, a 27-inch iMac from mid-2011 with an Intel i7 32 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6970 M graphics card of 2 GB, thank you cordially
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.
@@Aubal Im running it on 8gb of ram, SSD and the original 512mb video card just fine! And of course as an extended monitor for the first time! 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! yes recommended!
Installation went smooth on a MC Pro 2014. But so far I have massive problems with battery run time. According to Coconut I have even lost 10% battery capacity in one day since installing Sequoia. One of the problems was the bluetoothd process that spike the CPU and thus the fans running full speed. I managed to disbale BT, reset SMC and NVRAM and it seems to work now. Silent and battery usage seems normal.
Installed OS 15 on a few macs, as long as it has an SSD, 8Gb RAM minimum and a 2.5Ghz CPU or above all good. I tested a 1.4Ghz 8Gb RAM and SSD 2014 Mac mini today, it runs, but eventually crashed. So you need at least 2.5Ghz CPU, 8Gb RAM and an SSD then all good. 2017 iMac with 8Gb RAM, 1TB SSD and 2.7 GHz CPU runs fantastic
Hi Jessie, (or anyone else that can help with this) First off, many thanks for your great videos. I just got Sequoia set up on my Mac Pro and it's working almost perfectly so far, and much of that success is due to your great vids. I'll give my specs: 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to a 5,1 and full upgrades. Most powerful Xeons, 96 GB RAM etc. Metal GTX680 GPU I stayed on Big Sur until now so did my upgrade with the USB load method. Anyway, it all went well except for 2 things I'm aware of so far. First and most importantly, something happened to all my USB 2.0 ports. When I try to use a USB music midi interface box (kind of like a audio interface) they don't work anymore. It was plugged in under Big Sur and was fine. The ports still open USB sticks so I'm guessing it's something to do with lack of power? But when I plug the interface box in through my Mac Keyboard (like you have there), it then works fine. Second is my Wifi. It's not a huge deal because I have a wired connection for internet, but I'm pretty sure the wifi was available with Big Sur, but now with Sequoia it's not showing anywhere that my wifi card even exists. System info, or via Terminal search. I installed the KDK as you mentioned here so I think that should be OK, but not sure. Any help anyone could give would be great! Thanks
@@JessiesFlying No, I've never done anything to the Wifi. The second question is a good one. I'm not sure...lol. I just ran the process as described by you, the opencore website etc...I'm not sure how to find that information. Let me dig into it to see if I can find that out. Any idea about the USB problem? Thanks for your help!
@@JessiesFlying OK, I had a look through the root patcher and no I didn't see anything saying legacy Wifi. There was legacy bluetooth Monterey but that was it. I just updated to Legacy Patcher 2.1.2 today. Nothing changed.
Thank you so much again for your wonderul work Jessy! I have couple questions here: 1. I think from previous Ventura, the OCLP used to be automatically detect the required KDK when upgrading to newer macOS. Does this mean now we need to download manually for Sequoia? 2. What if I prefer to just install from scratch to a new separated SSD? Will I just need to update OCPLP from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, then manually download and install the required KDK support package & MetalLib support package, then create macOS Sequoia Installer via OCLP 2.0.1? Thank you in advance.
Jessie thanks for update.look forward for many videos as the developments keep progressing every day, also can you share the link of met lib file,kdk package and other ones which you talked
I freshly installed macOS Sequoia on two of my mid 2011 iMacs 27 inch with the upgraded metal card & upgraded bluetooth/wifi card, SSD 32GB Ram, and both work flawlessly, infact I found macOS Sonoma buggy even with my supported 2020 iMac 27 inch & 2019 16inch MacBook Pro, all freshley installed and so far found the operating system more responsive then Sonoma
Great informative video. I take it the instructions for the Mac Pro 2012 also work for 2010 5,1. How’s the performance on the Mac Pro compared to Monterey?
Great Work Jessie. Iphone mirroring is not working on my intel macbook pro (9,2), 2013. I did some reading online, Iphone mirroring only supports silicon and T2 chips. Any luck if this can be achieved on unsupported mac. Thank you very much and keep doing the great work. You are helping many save $.
Thank you! Great work. I have however been unable to get HDCP content, specifically from Amazon Prime video, playing in HD through a web browser (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox have been tried). I have two 2012 mac minis plugged directly into different TVs. I've tried various HDMI cables and different browsers, still no joy. I've not tried an OS without OCLP yet, but at this point I am speculating that it is because of the OCLP driver that is being injected. On my 2012 and 2015 Macbook pros running OCLP, HDCP content is fine on the laptop screen, but can't get HDCP content playing on external screens either using these devices. Given my experiences, I was expecting to find lots about it online, but there is surprisingly nothing I can find about this issue.
Thanks for your videos, Jessie. I successfully upgraded to Sequoia with OLP v2.0.1. All seems good except for iPhone Mirroring. Looks like it only works with iMacs M1 and higher and iMacs with T2 chips. Do you think there will be an OLP version that will address this? All the best!
Hey Jessie, thanks for making this video. I’m actually have totally different question, I see you connected your 2012 Mac Pro to apple monitor. Is that Thunderbolt Display? If yes how do you connect it?
Hi Jessie, your video made me think why my iMac16,2 (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015) doesn't boot after I tried to update from Sonoma to Sequoia. Previously, I'd successfully used OCLP to update from High Sierra to Big Sur and then to Sonoma. Trying to update to Sequoia, I first downloaded the latest version of OCLP on 2nd Oct, I think and then chose to update to Sequoia. When I start my iMac now, all I see is the Apple logo and a progress bar that sticks at around one fifth of the way across. I can boot into recovery mode but Time machine backups don't work, nor any of the other options. On a newer M2 MacBook Air I made a USB OCLP installer for Sequoia and chose its EFI to boot from on the iMac but, get the same result. The idea your video gave was, in the iMac Recovery mode's Terminal, should I try to download and install the KDK you talked about? Not being an expert, might you be able to suggest the appropriate curl and other commands please?
Got the wee red dot in the settings icon in the dock, but no sign of the update in the actual settings panel, might just be to many others getting their update, might need to wait a few more days. Interesting about downloading the Metal.lib and the KDK prior to doing the install, think I will be all good on my late 2012 iMac running Sonoma when I finally get the update.
I got sequoia running on my iMac11,2 and its working great... but since I need to use Final Cut Pro 10.4.6 non metal... is here anything I can do to have this version to run into my Sequoia? right now I have high Sierra running on another partition and I was planing to use Parallels to back and forth versions when I need to use FCP.. it if you have any suggestion its really appreciated. thanks ; )
Hi Jessie, great videos, as always, thanks. I had an issue trying to upgrade my 2009 imac 9,1 with 8Gb RAM. Basically it would not recognise a mouse or keyboard. I tried wired, wireless via USB and an official Bluetooth magic set by Apple. I was stuck at the mouse/keyboard screen. There was a warning when I selected sequoia or sonomo or ventura about possible keyboard /mouse issues, so eventually I chose montery which worked. Have you had any issues with imacs and keyboards/mice? Maybe you could mention this in a video?
Jessie I have seen your video. So should I install 15.0 KDK and Metalib while I am on sonoma then when I will update to sequoia then should I install both the kdk and metalib for root patching?
@@JessiesFlying I have a request for you bro. Can you make a separate video for 3802 that how to install MacOS Sequoia on 3802 based macs. Because in your current video the instructions are unclear
I followed these instructions, saw Sequoia as “installed” in Settings, used the Mace for the rest of the day, so she’s off with sleep and next time I tried to login got the black screen of death and the Apple support address. Had to go to a Genius Bar to restore the Monterey I originally had
Jessie, fantastic video and great tips! However, I run in a problem with a iMac 27" 17,1 Model. All installation went ok but the System will not boot by itself again, Always need to use the USB Stick to boot again. Also tried the KDK for 18.0.1 version of Sequoia. Does not help. Could it be because of the hybrid HDD which is originally installed? BTW. I also the the Terminal commands with the Mount command.
@@JessiesFlying Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I did - started with the clean supported OS (Monterey - works very well!) on the 17,1 iMac, then followed the process step by step which starting OpenCore Install first then MemoryStick with Sequoia 18.0.1. All Installations when through as described in the video. When I did not start by itself as I should after removing the MemoryStick I used the trick with the Mount process in terminal - and as last resort installed the KDK manually. I have the feeling it might be the HDD from Apple with was this hybrid version. While reading about OpenCore and boot issues I saw that I eventually need to reset NVRAM - did you had this case too?
@@aeschbi9945 so the only problem is that it boots from USB but not from hard disk? Then it should be fixed by installing OpenCore to the SSD EFI partition, keep option pressed for the boot selector screen and select EFI boot there

Hi, thanks for the video! I have a problem when I installed sequoia on my MacBook Pro mid 2010. The thing is that as much as I try OpenCore can’t root patch my Mac. The messages that appears is that there is an error with the patching
Hi Jessie, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just wanted to let you know that all models of machines are working fine. However, I’m still struggling with MacBook pro 2017, with Touch Bar and Finger Print. ( the Touch Bar and Fingerprint doesn’t work). Except those issues everything looks fine.
You need to update from Ventura to keep the Touch Bar firmware. If you erase the disk and install Sonoma or sequoia from scratch it won’t work any more
@@JessiesFlyingthank you so much for your advice. I was actually used the same idea. I first installed Ventura and upgraded to Sequoia without formatting.
Thanks a lot for the information! Just a question: if I want to install Sequoia on a blank SSD how would it be the process? Maybe can I download KDK and Metal Lib on another USB and install from it once OCLP is installed? Thank you in advance!
@@Jhn_Freeman on a blank SSD I recommend the USB method: Easiest Tutorial to instal macOS Sonoma on UNSUPPORTED MACs! ruclips.net/video/gmwneF_YsCA/видео.html
Great video. I updated my 2014 iMac 5K (late 2014) and all went smoothly except no steam games work, even after root patched. Some games show black screen (with audio), others just hang. I know this is still early days but are things likely to improve?
Ive installed 15.0 via Legacy Core Patcher and I noticed in your video you mentioned needing the metallib support pkg for the mac pro 2013 model however after installation I did not encounter a white screen or have issues with graphic acceleration. After testing a game everything seemed to run fine. What have I missed? Thanks for any help.
Jessie I understood. I have to install both kdk and metalib before updating and extract the auto pkg then after update oclp will locate the files I downloaded and root patch according to that. If I am not wrong 😅?
@@JessiesFlying Jessie I have seen the video of Mr Macintosh and also a person who has haswell have installed without metalib package as oclp app have already the option
after I installed a opencore patcher on my MacBook Air 2013 with hope to install macOS sinoma which came like a normal recognised supporting update notification on my software update, unfortunately the update got stuck on the preparing to install for almost 2 hours till i got tired of waiting for it to start the installation process and i cancelled it. this morning i noticed a notification for macOS 15 sequoia with 14.22 gb on my software update. Should i go ahead and click update the normal way or I create the installer on the new open core patcher. And also why did the senoma fail to install and got stuck on downloading for 2 hours after the 13.18gb got downloaded but could not show signs of installation.
Hi Jessie, thanks for another great video. I'm running a 27 inch 2011 iMac which booted from an external SSD drive. A few days ago I tried to upgrade to OS Sonoma using the Open Core Legacy Patcher and it didn't go too well. I'm back using my internal drive as the boot drive and the External Samsung SSD isn't working properly. I've tried fixing it using Disk Utility and Terminal but I can't erase it to install Sonoma, so I need another External drive. When I get the new external drive, do I install Sonoma or Sequoia on it before I set it as my Start up disk or do I set it as my start up disk first ? Should I install straight to the External SSD or should I create a USB installer ? Should I erase it first using Disk Utility or should I allow OCLP to erase it during installation ? Thanks for your help.
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, before I do the MacOS installation onto the external disk using OCLP, do I set the disk format to MacOS extended Journalled or APFS (this is going to become my Boot Startup disk) ? Thanks again.
Hi! I have a macbook pro 13" 2015 running sequoia with oclp 2.0.1 just discovered that extended monitor via airplay does NOT work, it connects, but just shows black screen on airplay monitor. Also, iphone mirrorring does not work (needs a t2 chip handshake apparently, and the 2015 mbp does not have a t2). Everything else apparently works. Hope this helps anyone interested. Great videos by the way!
Hello Jessie Thank you for your help. I have installed MacOS Sequoia from 14.6.1 via OTA. I had installed the metalib packages so I wanted to ask that when in October when 15.1 will come out of beta so will I have to install metalib for 1.51 too? As I check Library/Application Support/Dortania/Metalib Support and it had 15.0 file so when I will install 15.1 in October so should I install metalib 15.1 version and then after updating should I delete 15.0 Metalib? Because I don't have ethernet Jessie is there any option that internet could be accessed after update and then oclp could install metalib automatically Like should I root patch twice One time for WiFi and Second time for Metalib Latest version for 3802 graphics? Does Oclp 2.0.1 have option as now internet is required for MetalibSupport Package
@@thegamingtech3795 yes as I said in the video just install root patch twice. MetalLib has to be the same as macOS, so wait a little bit before updating
Bro,I just update from Sonoma to Sequoia after that run open core patcher,My procedure is ok or I should delete hard disk and upgrade freshly ?MacBook Pro 2016
Hello, thank you for your videos ! A question : I have an iMac late 2015 with Sonoma and OCLP. To update to Sequoia : is it better to do it through update in system settings or through an installation from an external USB drive ? Thank you for help
@@danielvetter2415 you can simply do it via system settings after updating OCLP to v2.0.2 👍 USB method has root patches already installed but is more preparation
Hi again! I made the installation on a blank SSD as you suggested me and it was a success! Now the only problem that I have is that when I specifically open Logic Pro the screen starts glitching and after that all the apps have the same problem. I also installed the Metallib support package but it didn’t work. With the rest of the apps I don’t have this issue, only when I open Logic Pro. Do you know about this issue? Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello Jessie! Thanks for the Manual. I have the IMac 18,3 2017 with Fusion Drive. I installed everything like you explained and Sequoia is running, but I can only boot from the USB-Stick. If I try to boot from the EFI in the bootpicker, the apple logo will stay a while and the the Windows from boot-drive will start. If I will choose the Harddisk in the bootpicker, the Forbidden sign for unsupported Os will appear. If I choose the USB, Sequoia will start fine. I tried to write the EFI with the OPCL-menue, which will pop up after the start over USB-Stick, which is asking if it should change the EFI so that I can boot without the USB-Stick, then it shows, that the EFI is changed, but after a restart of the IMac it is behaving the same like before, only starting from USB-Stick.
@@JessiesFlying thanks for the info. That is my problem, if I choose the EFI boot selector, the apple logo appears for about 15 seconds an then the mac boots Windows. if I choose the Windows boot selector the mac boots Windows directly. If I choose the mac OS harddisk, it get the not supported sign and it boots again and starts Windows. only with the USB-stick it will boot Sequoia. I used OCLP many tines before with my 2011 macbook pro, but I never experienced this problem before. It always started perfectly.
@@JessiesFlying Yes, believe it is like that. I tried several times with OCLP to install, but I always get the same problem. OLCP is installing it to the EFI and when I reboot then in the bootpicker I always find the EFI without the OCLP sign it. By the way, OCLP is never asking me for the password when it is installing to the EFI, can this be the problem?
@@unglaubiger6663 no that’s correct since version 1.5.0 as it has the privileged helper tool installed. But maybe uninstall OCLP (the uninstaller can be also downloaded on their GitHub) and install it again, then install OpenCore again to EFI
I have a Macbook PRO 13'' Early 2015 8gb RAM and 256 SSD. Guys, don't even think about it. I tried Ventura, Sonoma and the brand new Sequoia (all fresh installs). The Mac turn into a bric: slow, glitchy, scrolling is a nightmare, etc. I don't know, maybe is my Mac, but recently I came back to Monterey and it's like having a new machine. I really don't know why people say their machine improves with opencore. Maybe some kind of interest? The views? Otherwise, I don't get it...
just one simple question what has probably been asked already: wouldn't it be enough to connect the mac via Lan-Cable in case of not working wifi? this workaround is much simplier than preparing the kdk package and the library during the installation process?

@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jessie. So I just plug a 2.0 hub into the USB hub and use a wired keyboard and mouse on the 2010 MacPro? When I updated to Sonoma, I just restarted after the OCLP update and was able to update root patches after restart. Can I just use the same technique?
Hi Jessie, I'm still on Monterey with my MacPro 5,1, can i upgrade straight to Sequoia? Am I still going to lose usb 1.1 or whatever is standard on these machines? I do have a usb 3.0 4 port card installed already. Thanks for your videos!!

Hello dear, I upgraded my 2013 MBP from Sonoma to Sequoia using the normal method through System Preferences software update. I had installed OpenCore patcher V2.1.2. Sequoia is now installed but have a problem with the root patcher that seems not installing hardware drives. When I run it I got the return to main menu option instead of reboot as it used to be before if I still remember well. Everything on screen is too small, no WiFi… Any idea how to solve this problem?
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, thanks for your prompt reply! On the internet I found an article addressing this issue, the solution someone suggested was to delete some files from the extensions folder. I did that and sure enough the root patch worked and now my MBP is running Sequoia as well and smoothly as my M4 Max ! Thanks again guys for doing all this effort to always guide us through the amazing OpenLegacy world. :-)
What ai have noticed so far is that sequoia is running way smoother than Senoma. On Senoma, fans were almost always on, now the computer is dead silent.

Schön zu hören! 🚀
Does the continuity camera work on imac 2015 after updating to Sequoia?
🙏 Thank you, Jessie, for your precise and detailed guide. Today I successfully updated my cheese grater, and everything went smoothly without any issues. In my case, I encountered two differences compared to your explanations. The first one is that even though I had installed KDK and Metal before initiating the update from the system settings, during the download of the new macOS version, OCLP automatically opened with a window that, after detecting the macOS version being installed, prompted me to install KDK again. For extra security, I did so, and this ensured that upon reboot, I did not experience a white screen, and the graphics were already functioning normally. The second difference is that after the successful update, the system was very slow. So, I opened OCLP and ran the “Post-install Root Patch” procedure. After rebooting, everything worked perfectly.
🖥 I followed the update procedure to macOS Sequoia 15.1 build 24B83 on a Mid 2012 Mac Pro Model: MacPro5,1, supported by OCLP version 2.1.2, starting from macOS Sonoma 14.4 and OCLP 1.4.3.

Hi Jessie
Another brilliant video from you! Highly interesting and very informative and educational!
Today, after updating the OpenCore patcher from 1.5 to 2.0.1, I set up Sequoia on my Late 2015 on Sonoma without any problems! Absolutely without any problem!!! SUPER!
My conclusion:
If the previous MacOS (in my case Sonoma) is already running flawlessly under OpenCore Patcher, updating to the successor OS is absolutely no problem. At least in my case!
Thanks again Jessie for your huge commitment!
BTW are you German? 🙂
@@ruggeroaebi thx! Ja bin ich 😉
Thank you for providing the method. I bought a Macbook Pro in 2012 and will try it when I have time.
I saw an article on the preview screen of RUclips, a video about hacking Apple, and then after seeing your video, I thought about it carefully and found that the real goal of Microsoft's push for AI PC is to have one more button and the MacOS keyboard button below Shift FN, Control, Option, and Command are the same. Secondly, the Apple M series is an ARM architecture. Assuming that future desktop hosts will be structured in line with Microsoft's AI PC definition, that is, Apple's MacOS can be installed.
Things change fast when you’re Flying (Jessie’s). It wasn’t long ago at all that unsupported installs were individual science projects that required me to make a detailed tutorial for myself before diving in. Today, the crew at OCLP, along with you, Jessie - testing, summarizing, proving - have made unsupported installs pretty much exactly as easy as supported installs, but oh so much more satisfying! All that’s missing is some OCLP theme music once your Mac is ready.
I’m joking about the theme music. Please don’t mention it. Really, no theme music is just fine.
@@artysanmobile ok, just noted we need theme music… 😈

Thanks, Jessie. You are very necessary. Thank you man.
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.
Nice! I have an iMac 2011 27" 32gb Ram and k3100m gddr5 4gb. Do you recommend the upgrade?

How is the performance on your iMac 2017?
Work perfectly!, thanks for sharing
Installation went smooth on a MC Pro 2014. But so far I have massive problems with battery run time. According to Coconut I have even lost 10% battery capacity in one day since installing Sequoia. One of the problems was the bluetoothd process that spike the CPU and thus the fans running full speed. I managed to disbale BT, reset SMC and NVRAM and it seems to work now. Silent and battery usage seems normal.
Installed OS 15 on a few macs, as long as it has an SSD, 8Gb RAM minimum and a 2.5Ghz CPU or above all good. I tested a 1.4Ghz 8Gb RAM and SSD 2014 Mac mini today, it runs, but eventually crashed. So you need at least 2.5Ghz CPU, 8Gb RAM and an SSD then all good. 2017 iMac with 8Gb RAM, 1TB SSD and 2.7 GHz CPU runs fantastic
@@BorisaComputers it might be the number of cores instead of GHz
@@JessiesFlying every one of those 1.4Ghz macs ive used wether it be a Macbook, iMac or Mini have all been crappy
Hi Jessie, (or anyone else that can help with this)
First off, many thanks for your great videos. I just got Sequoia set up on my Mac Pro and it's working almost perfectly so far, and much of that success is due to your great vids. I'll give my specs:
2009 Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to a 5,1 and full upgrades. Most powerful Xeons, 96 GB RAM etc. Metal GTX680 GPU
I stayed on Big Sur until now so did my upgrade with the USB load method.
Anyway, it all went well except for 2 things I'm aware of so far.
First and most importantly, something happened to all my USB 2.0 ports. When I try to use a USB music midi interface box (kind of like a audio interface) they don't work anymore. It was plugged in under Big Sur and was fine. The ports still open USB sticks so I'm guessing it's something to do with lack of power? But when I plug the interface box in through my Mac Keyboard (like you have there), it then works fine.
Second is my Wifi. It's not a huge deal because I have a wired connection for internet, but I'm pretty sure the wifi was available with Big Sur, but now with Sequoia it's not showing anywhere that my wifi card even exists. System info, or via Terminal search. I installed the KDK as you mentioned here so I think that should be OK, but not sure.
Any help anyone could give would be great!
Thanks
@@mb7196 did you update the WiFi card sometime? Did the root patch show legacy WiFi?
@@JessiesFlying No, I've never done anything to the Wifi. The second question is a good one. I'm not sure...lol. I just ran the process as described by you, the opencore website etc...I'm not sure how to find that information. Let me dig into it to see if I can find that out.
Any idea about the USB problem?
Thanks for your help!
@@mb7196 do the root patch of OCLP and before starting it shows what patches will be applied at the top
@@JessiesFlying OK, I had a look through the root patcher and no I didn't see anything saying legacy Wifi. There was legacy bluetooth Monterey but that was it. I just updated to Legacy Patcher 2.1.2 today. Nothing changed.
@@mb7196 maybe ask that on Discord if anyone has the same issue?
Thank you so much again for your wonderul work Jessy! I have couple questions here:
1. I think from previous Ventura, the OCLP used to be automatically detect the required KDK when upgrading to newer macOS. Does this mean now we need to download manually for Sequoia?
2. What if I prefer to just install from scratch to a new separated SSD? Will I just need to update OCPLP from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, then manually download and install the required KDK support package & MetalLib support package, then create macOS Sequoia Installer via OCLP 2.0.1?
Thank you in advance.
1. It will automatically download everything it needs
2. No need to download KDK or MetalLib for creating USB installer
👍

Great Work Jessie. Iphone mirroring is not working on my intel macbook pro (9,2), 2013. I did some reading online, Iphone mirroring only supports silicon and T2 chips. Any luck if this can be achieved on unsupported mac. Thank you very much and keep doing the great work. You are helping many save $.
@@FriedStory-i4f I don’t think so, only T2 Macs will be able to do that
Thank you! Great work. I have however been unable to get HDCP content, specifically from Amazon Prime video, playing in HD through a web browser (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox have been tried). I have two 2012 mac minis plugged directly into different TVs. I've tried various HDMI cables and different browsers, still no joy. I've not tried an OS without OCLP yet, but at this point I am speculating that it is because of the OCLP driver that is being injected. On my 2012 and 2015 Macbook pros running OCLP, HDCP content is fine on the laptop screen, but can't get HDCP content playing on external screens either using these devices. Given my experiences, I was expecting to find lots about it online, but there is surprisingly nothing I can find about this issue.
Maybe ask on Discord…?
@@JessiesFlying I thought that too :) It looks like it's not just me. Thanks!
Thanks for your videos, Jessie. I successfully upgraded to Sequoia with OLP v2.0.1. All seems good except for iPhone Mirroring. Looks like it only works with iMacs M1 and higher and iMacs with T2 chips. Do you think there will be an OLP version that will address this? All the best!

Hi Jessie, your video made me think why my iMac16,2 (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015) doesn't boot after I tried to update from Sonoma to Sequoia.
Previously, I'd successfully used OCLP to update from High Sierra to Big Sur and then to Sonoma.
Trying to update to Sequoia, I first downloaded the latest version of OCLP on 2nd Oct, I think and then chose to update to Sequoia.
When I start my iMac now, all I see is the Apple logo and a progress bar that sticks at around one fifth of the way across.
I can boot into recovery mode but Time machine backups don't work, nor any of the other options.
On a newer M2 MacBook Air I made a USB OCLP installer for Sequoia and chose its EFI to boot from on the iMac but, get the same result.
The idea your video gave was, in the iMac Recovery mode's Terminal, should I try to download and install the KDK you talked about? Not being an expert, might you be able to suggest the appropriate curl and other commands please?
Did you try safe mode?
Got the wee red dot in the settings icon in the dock, but no sign of the update in the actual settings panel, might just be to many others getting their update, might need to wait a few more days. Interesting about downloading the Metal.lib and the KDK prior to doing the install, think I will be all good on my late 2012 iMac running Sonoma when I finally get the update.
Out just Download the installer via OCLP
I got sequoia running on my iMac11,2 and its working great... but since I need to use Final Cut Pro 10.4.6 non metal... is here anything I can do to have this version to run into my Sequoia? right now I have high Sierra running on another partition and I was planing to use Parallels to back and forth versions when I need to use FCP.. it if you have any suggestion its really appreciated. thanks ; )

Could it be because of the hybrid HDD which is originally installed? BTW. I also the the Terminal commands with the Mount command.
@@aeschbi9945 did you install OpenCore to the boot disk? Which did you choose, SSD or HDD part?
@@JessiesFlying Thanks for the quick reply.

All Installations when through as described in the video. When I did not start by itself as I should after removing the MemoryStick I used the trick with the Mount process in terminal - and as last resort installed the KDK manually. I have the feeling it might be the HDD from Apple with was this hybrid version. While reading about OpenCore and boot issues I saw that I eventually need to reset NVRAM - did you had this case too?

That is my problem, if I choose the EFI boot selector, the apple logo appears for about 15 seconds an then the mac boots Windows. if I choose the Windows boot selector the mac boots Windows directly. If I choose the mac OS harddisk, it get the not supported sign and it boots again and starts Windows. only with the USB-stick it will boot Sequoia. I used OCLP many tines before with my 2011 macbook pro, but I never experienced this problem before. It always started perfectly.
@@unglaubiger6663 then OpenCore is not installed correctly to your EFI partition….
@@JessiesFlying Yes, believe it is like that. I tried several times with OCLP to install, but I always get the same problem. OLCP is installing it to the EFI and when I reboot then in the bootpicker I always find the EFI without the OCLP sign it. By the way, OCLP is never asking me for the password when it is installing to the EFI, can this be the problem?
@@unglaubiger6663 no that’s correct since version 1.5.0 as it has the privileged helper tool installed. But maybe uninstall OCLP (the uninstaller can be also downloaded on their GitHub) and install it again, then install OpenCore again to EFI
I have a Macbook PRO 13'' Early 2015 8gb RAM and 256 SSD. Guys, don't even think about it. I tried Ventura, Sonoma and the brand new Sequoia (all fresh installs). The Mac turn into a bric: slow, glitchy, scrolling is a nightmare, etc. I don't know, maybe is my Mac, but recently I came back to Monterey and it's like having a new machine. I really don't know why people say their machine improves with opencore. Maybe some kind of interest? The views? Otherwise, I don't get it...
@@D4aniB are you sure the root patches installed correctly?
just one simple question what has probably been asked already: wouldn't it be enough to connect the mac via Lan-Cable in case of not working wifi? this workaround is much simplier than preparing the kdk package and the library during the installation process?
if you have one you can do it, but you need to install KDK or MetalLib anyway if you have such a MAC...
I get this warning on my Mid 2010 5.1 Mac Pro:
Your model (MacPro5,1) may not be fully supported by this installer. You may encounter the following issues:
Lack of internal Keyboard/Mouse in macOS installer.
For more information, see associated page. Otherwise, we recommend using macOS Monterey
Here is my machine:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro5,1
Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3.33 GHz
Can you please address this? Thank you for all you do, Jessie!
As I said in the video you need a wired keyboard and a USB 2.0 hub to be able to control it while there are no root patches upstairs
@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jessie. So I just plug a 2.0 hub into the USB hub and use a wired keyboard and mouse on the 2010 MacPro? When I updated to Sonoma, I just restarted after the OCLP update and was able to update root patches after restart. Can I just use the same technique?
@@adamhutton4165 👍
Hi Jessie, I'm still on Monterey with my MacPro 5,1, can i upgrade straight to Sequoia? Am I still going to lose usb 1.1 or whatever is standard on these machines? I do have a usb 3.0 4 port card installed already. Thanks for your videos!!
@@EddieMagana yes and yes 😬
I have used an old mobile phone (no SIM needed) as a WiFi to USB bridge to provide the internet connection required to download WiFi drivers in Linux. It worked very well. Would this be of any help here? Or not?
@@frankfriedlos3721 thx for the info! Good idea 👍🚀
Great, is the KDK and Metal Package also needed for an iMac Late 2015 ?
Maybe the KDK for the graphic card… 🤔
Hi Jessi. I have noticed that my MacBook has problems mounting external hard drives under Sequioa. It is the Mid 2015 15" model.
@@thomasromeni8063 what problems exactly?
@@JessiesFlying
Hi. After logging in, the loading bar remains. Do the Time Machine backups also have to be done without root patch?
@@thomasromeni8063 yes, root patches should be reverted before doing TimeMachine restores
hi Jessies , I installed sequoia in my mbp mid 2012 and i rooted with oclp 2.0.1.
Evrything works fine, the only bug is that at every boot I had to reconnect manually the wifi.
Someone has the same issue ?

My late iMac 2013 with 16GB of RAM didn't accept Sequoia too.

The computer said it was not compatibel with my system hardware, but sorry, I can’t remember the text exactly. I installed Ubuntu afterwards.

Hello dear, I upgraded my 2013 MBP from Sonoma to Sequoia using the normal method through System Preferences software update. I had installed OpenCore patcher V2.1.2.
Sequoia is now installed but have a problem with the root patcher that seems not installing hardware drives. When I run it I got the return to main menu option instead of reboot as it used to be before if I still remember well.
Everything on screen is too small, no WiFi…
Any idea how to solve this problem?
@@rodriguezahr can you check if there are any errors mentioned in the log after root patching?
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, thanks for your prompt reply!
On the internet I found an article addressing this issue, the solution someone suggested was to delete some files from the extensions folder. I did that and sure enough the root patch worked and now my MBP is running Sequoia as well and smoothly as my M4 Max !
Thanks again guys for doing all this effort to always guide us through the amazing OpenLegacy world. :-)
What ai have noticed so far is that sequoia is running way smoother than Senoma. On Senoma, fans were almost always on, now the computer is dead silent.
@@rodriguezahr yes, that’s also my impression
Dang, mine is 8.1 2018 i hope there is a way to install it

Hey, great vid. I have a 27" retina iMac late 2017 (running Sonoma), I installed OCLP 2.0.1 and all root partching. Can I safely click to upgrade to Sequoia via the System settings update or do I need to make a USB boot key, install on it, etc... ?
You can simply install it via system settings update 👍
@@JessiesFlying Great quick answer 👍.
I guess I don’t need any of these kdk, metal or libraries stuff to dl & install prior

Hi Jessie ... I was wondering have you played around with MacOS 15.0 FileVault yet? I managed to install the official version at last on a blank Mac (had to install 14.7 first and then running upgrade) but in the end - although every seems fine at first look - FileVault does not want to enable and returns an internal error 🤷♂️

OCLP disabled VT-x on my IMacs. How to enable VMX back? I need it for work.
@@wiktoro2604 if OCLP disables it, it needs it disabled to enable the newer macOS on your Mac…
@@JessiesFlying
Thank You for response :)
So why in config.plist Quirks > EnableVMX is present?
"Enable Intel virtual machine extensions
Required to allow virtualization in Windows on some Mac hardware. VMX is enabled or disabled and locked by BIOS before OpenCore starts on most firmware. Use BIOS to enable virtualization where possible"
My IMac27 11.3 (Mid2010) is upgraded with Intel i7 870 (Nehalem) and 32GB Ram.
I hoped that will be reliable machine.

@@JessiesFlying thx for your help
I got it installed and running sequoia 15.0 everything works fine but when I rebooted a white screen appears then goes to white apple logo then after 3-5 secs it keeps on rebooting..
I’m using MacBook Pro 13 mid 2012. What am I missing here? OCLP 2.0.1 was installed and root patch were applied.
I can only bring sequoia 15.0 up and login when I’m in recovery mode. Everything works fine tested everything no issues in wifi Bluetooth.
I reinstalled OCLP 2.0.1 and installed root patches. I hope if when I rebooted again it will continue and without looping to boot. I think it has something to do the EFI boot loader.
Check the log during root patch if it’s missing KDK or something like that
Hello Jessie,
I have a problem with macOS Sequoia 15.0 and OCLP 2.0.1.
On the whole, the computer, an iMac 27" ultimo 2014, works well, but all programs for communicating with a scanner don't work. They still worked under macOS Sonoma. My question now is whether other subscribers to your channel have already described this problem. Thanks for an answer and greetings from Germany.
