HELP! Wo sind hier die Opencore Legacy Patch-Expert*innen. iMac 2012 mit Opencore Legacy Patche bootet nicht mehr und der Stick ist natürlich nicht mehr auffindbar. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Ideen wie man das fixen könnte? iMac müsste bald hier eintreffen. #FediHelp #FediHilfe #FollowerPower #OldTech #OpenCoreLegacy #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

Homebrew now needs to build apps/tools from source on my 12-old macOS laptop... 😓

$ brew doctor

Swinging back to MacPorts, but my CPU is going to heat up, anyway! 🤓

OpenCore Legacy Patcher travaille toujours sur macOS 26 mais (évidemment) pas sur macOS 27 http://dlvr.it/TT6xfR #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher #macOS26

This weekend I did some tinkering with the 2015 #iMac.  Running #Sequoia via #OpencoreLegacyPatcher started to make the #Mac chug hard.

I attempted installing a few different #linux based distros but the ones I tried (that I was interested in) all failed/crashed after installing.

So I went with my favorite “newish” #macOS, Monterey.   Now all my old #intel macs run good ol’ Monty and I am very okay with that.

After many many many hours, both #Macbookpro now dual boots with a a “classic” OSX and a “modern” OSX.

MBP11 boots #Snow #MacOSXsnowleopard  and #macOS12.

MBP13 boots #macOSMavericks and macOS 12 (Monterey)

#OpencoreLegacyPatcher is f’n awesome.

Now why the hell would I no longer be able to log into an iMac?!

It's just great that there is no way to see the typed password, to rule out keyboard language issues.

Tried several keyboard language options

Recovery key also not accepted.

Using a password manager to store both informations. Oh boy, here goes my TODO list for today... 🙄

Well I might be fucked... This is after successfully booting into 15.7.2 (at least once).

@mlbiche @mloyat @florimond #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher ?

So this is the beginning of the end of the full usefulness of my late 2013 27" iMac. With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, Ventura runs quite well, but:

- The latest version of Davinci Resolve requires at least Sonoma and
- Sonoma support for OpenCore Legacy patcher has some weird deficiencies, such as: "Cannot edit photos in Portrait mode in Apple Photos on nvidia Kepler graphics hardware."

Oddly specific, but a showstopper for me.

So I cannot use both Photos and the latest Davinci Resolve version. Photos has always had the right balance of simplicity and power for me. It's there and it "just works".

12 years was a pretty good run.

Today I managed to update a 2011 macbook air from El Capitan to Sonoma!

Its faster, and it can safely browse the web again!

@ctietze Yes, there are some graphic glitches in Light Mode, similar to what you see with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher installed machines.
I suppose the VM graphical rendering in not 100% ready for #macOS #Tahoe (probably due to the new #Metal version).

@rjfaas having just used #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher on my old iMac I found this part amusing: "It’d also keep iMacs useful even when their specs inevitably become outdated". Unfortunately that is not something Apple cares about.

Very impressed so far with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher. I installed it on my old 2015 iMac who's internal drive struggled to boot, giving the spinning rainbow cursor constantly.

I've just put Sequoia on an external SSD and it runs nearly as well as my M3 iMac.

Only downside so far is despite following all instructions for getting Universal Control working, I can't 🙁 and it's a really neat feature.

Alt und trotzdem gut: Mac Pro 6,1 mit neuestem macOS ausstatten
Der Mac Pro aus dem Jahr 2013 ist ohne Zweifel ein besonderer Mac. Sein zylindrisches Design erinnert an einen Champagner-Kühler, oder - eher despektierlich - an einen Mülleimer. Damals war das Gerät ein Top-Computer, aber natürlich ist auch er in Jahre geko

Hey #linux folk, I have an old 2015 iMac that stopped working a while ago. I think the internal drive crapped out.

I was thinking of putting #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher on an external SSD but I've heard it can get slow so then I started looking at Linux instead.

I'd be using it as a media/Jellyfin server mainly, but wanted to see if it'd be possible to run Linux on an external drive (media on another separate drive) and bypass the internal drive completely?

Also it would have to be pretty lightweight, I looked at Debian but don't have experience with that.

One Weird Trick For Running Modern macOS On Ancient Macs

@erik Vielleicht zuerst ein aktuelles macOS via #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher aufspielen, dann forschen, was es an ebenso aktueller Kinderschutzsoftware gibt?

I'm thinking of running #Pop_OS on a #MacbookPro mid 2015. Latest compatible macOS version is no more supported by Apple. I thought of using #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher but the only feedback I have is not successful (thanks @gmembre). Today, the laptop is running #Ubuntu. I have installed an M.2 NVMe adapter for the new system. I've kept the old SSD with the old system. Any feedback to share?

Je réfléchis à utiliser #Pop_OS sur un MacBook Pro mid 2015. La dernière version de macOS compatible n’est plus supportée par Apple. J’ai réfléchi à utiliser #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher mais le seul retour d’expérience que j’ai (celui de @gmembre) n’est pas concluant. Aujourd’hui la machine tourne sur #Ubuntu. J’ai installé un adaptateur M.2 NVMe pour installer le nouveau système et lui donner une nouvelle jeunesse. J’ai conservé l’ancien SSD avec l’ancien système dessus. Un retour d’xp à partager ?

I love #OCLP #opencorelegacypatcher

But the fact most upates need at least two attemps is slightly annoying.

@codemonkeymike You max be able to run a current #macOS in this using #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

I have just been #rickrolled! 😄
#OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

@cbo9 Alternatively if you just want to run a more modern macOS, that is also possible with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher.

I had this running macOS 13 Ventura before I switched to Linux. That is also was relatively straightforward and you need do nothing special to make the Camera work:

One of my colleagues works remotely and used to do occasional testing on a #Mac. However the Mac he had was left lying around since it was stuck on 10.13 and hence has not been getting security updates since November 12, 2020 and has not even been usable with Vivaldi for a long while also.

We are sending him a newer Apple Silicon based Mac (since that would also allow easier testing of internal builds using iOS simulator) but in the mean time I pointed out that he could upgrade his current machine with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher, despite Apple preventing upgraded via the regular method.

He went all the way from #macOS #HighSierra 10.13, right up to macOS 15 #Sequoia without any obvious issues. Once again, it is silly that Apple is letting these working machines just be wasted.
