    [Solved] No longer full installer image?

    When I downloaded Mojave last month I received a big 6gb plus download. But today when I pressed download it downloaded a 22mb file which is just the starter app. I'm guessing it restarts the Mac in recovery and downloads the image there and then, kinda makes making a USB drive complicated...

    Internal Blu-Ray drive?

    Currently, use my PS3 for playing Blu-Ray movies but would like to use my Hackintosh so only after one that plays discs, not burn them. I saw MacSales has some LG drives which all do Blu-Ray burning and hence cost a fair bit but looking at Amazon I see several drives half that cost but not...

    Nvidia or AMD? Looking for advice.

    I currently have a GTX 960 with 2GB of RAM which felt great, especially after coming from a 2011 iMac. But, a year in things feel like they could be better, plus I'm getting a bit tired of the endless cat and mouse game between Apple's updates and Nvidia's poorly performing web drivers. So...

    Choppy UI with Nvidia on 10.13.3?

    Running the latest 10.13.3 with the 156 nvidia web driver for my GTX960 but noticing weird UI lag. Like, have Minecrfat open and getting a solid 213fps yet playing netflix gives me dropped frames and likewise dragging windows around or resizing them feels choppy. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).

    I'm getting a lot of these -50 errors on a drive hanging off my hackintosh. At first, I thought my drive was toast but when I connect it to my imac it works just fine. Anyone got any suggestions?

    macOS 10.13.1 update, reboot at 70%

    Weird one this. I was putting off the update as I did not have the time to fix whatever the update might break but was not paying attention when switching off and it ran the update. Now I get the Apple logo, loads roughly 70% and then restarts so. I tried safe boot but no difference. Tried to...

    Radeon RX 570 and RX 580, how good is the native support?

    High Sierra is here but no updated drivers and I read online that the relationship between Apple and Nvidia has soured. On top of that, there have always been small bugs with the Nvidia web drivers. So, I'm now seriously considering the move to an AMD card as Apple has native support for those...

    Temporary slowness after sleep

    I noticed a weird lagg/slowness after my machine has gone to sleep. It will resume normal operation after roughly 1 minute. At first I thought it was just due to the whole system waking up but the last 2 days I have had the machine to stay awake and ONLY let the display go to sleep and it still...

    No sound on fresh install

    My board has a Realtek ALC892 on it, which is now available in multibeast 9.10 but I get no audio device. I previously installed my hacintosh with multibeast 9.0.1 and audio worked just fine. What am I doing wrong?

    Cheapest LEGAL way to get Windows 7-10?

    Yes yes, I know, yech, Windows. I only want it for 1 thing. Running Obduction from Cyan (the Myst guys). The game refuses to start and when I talked to support and they found i had a hackintosh they told me my computer is unsupported. I'm asking for LEGAL as I don't want activation hassle, I...

    Best System Definition?

    Just curious, what are peoples experiences with different system definitions? I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H with an i5, 32gb of ram and a GTX 960. So you would think maybe pick an iMac that has that CPU but the board is more fully featured so a MacPro? What differences does it make to...

    Native vs webdrivers (nvidia cards)

    Reading the comments on this ****** thread leave me confused: https://www.******.com/r/hackintosh/comments/2tpdfg/natively_supported_graphics_card/ I'm noticing some small glitches with the web drivers, both in OS (the menu bar flicker) and games so was thinking that maybe swapping to a card...

    Gaming on a hackintosh with a GTX 960

    So far I have noticed some games not running properly. Minecraft, game itself runs butter smooth but as soon as I enable the shaders it will screw up. Worked fine on my old iMac. This is an OS/Driver issue as it works fine on this machine under Linux. Steam, the payment window for paypal has...

    Keyboard mapping?

    I got myself a sweet Cherry MX keyboard and it works great apart from one mayor stumbling block. The Hackintosh does NOT see the left windows key. I tried both keyboard viewer and karabiner who both cant see key presses. At first I thought that the key was toast but when I boot into Mint Linux...

    M.2 SSD drives?

    My Gigabyte board has one of those new fancy M.2 slots and I was thinking of using it but not finding much online with regards to hackintosh compatibility. Does anyone have any experience with these?

    Sound problems after a few hours running

    I noticed that sometimes after a few hours (like 8 or more) the sound will go away. Switching between Line Out 1 and Line Out 2 sometimes brings it back but only for a few seconds. Using the volume up and down I hear clicks instead of my usual thuds. A restart will make everything work again...

    Ideal Nvidia machine?

    I noticed some graphic problems with games so started digging and noticed that the Nvidia web drivers are made for MacPro's. They only just added iMac support to their drivers which they state as being beta. I also noticed that my card is not in there, does that explain why I'm having small...

    Flashing a GPU?

    While googeling for a fan problem with my GTX 960 I stumbled upon a company called http://www.macvidcards.com/ and am now curious. On that page they talk about flashing cards which make them proper Mac cards? Saying it will make your card faster as well. What's the deal with this?
