I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 on 10.12.6. It has a Broadcom wifi/bluetooth combo card, BCM94352, this card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JY6X9HM/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 . Wifi and bluetooth both work fine. iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime all work fine. I've never fully gotten handoff to...

I'm running 10.12.6 at the moment, everything works right now except USB. I'm currently using GenericUSBXHCI.kext to get USB 3.0 functionality, but I'd like to actually fix both USB 2 and 3 correctly and not have to rely on GenericUSBXHCI.kext. I'm sure it's just a matter of renaming the ECHI...

I have a machine that I was using as a whitebox ESXi host that I'm trying to hackintosh now. it's an MSI H87-G43 motherboard with an i5-4670 (3.40GHz) quad core. I was able to install Sierra without any problems, just needed kexts for the onboard Realtec 1GB NIC, but other than that everything...

I'm trying to get the nVidia GPU (Quadro 1000M) working, which is supposed to be supported. I have a 99% working hackintosh Lenovo W520 (with the exception of USB 3 which is a no-go on 6 series chipset, and of course Nvidia GPU). I've patched my own DSDT to get battery status and Intel HD3000...

I have a Thinkpad T440 that I have running 10.11.4 flawlessly (except for wifi and bluetooth because I can't risk bricking the BIOS chip with a bad flash like what happened to my X220). Everything else works either out of the box or with DSDT edits, including power management, sleep...

I've been looking for a solution for a while. I have one laptop, a thinkpad T440 that the trackpad functions properly in the clover bootloader (this is before boot when you select which partition to boot) On my other laptop, and MOST laptops I've tried for that matter -- the trackpad does not...

I've seen dozens of articles online about people having success with the Lenovo T410, with various hardware configurations. For the most part, all iterations of this laptop come with one of two Graphics setups, either Switchable Graphics with First Gen IntelHD integrated (does not work)/nVidia...

I have a very strange problem. I can edit the smbios.plist on my laptop and it changes the way that the system looks in System Profiler just fine. Since it is a black laptop, I set the model in smbios.plist to MacBook4,1,Black and it has the correct icon in Finder. However, my AFP shares are...

Preface: In past versions of Mac OS X, the built in backup tool, Time Machine was a lot less picky about where you back up your files to. You could even back up to a Samba file share if you enabled the "unsupported volumes" hack. defaults write com.apple.systempreferences...

I can easily set up dual monitors on my hack without any issues. As a matter of fact, I can get up to three monitors working on my card without any problems. My question is this; does any third party software exist that can enable horizontal spanning on dual monitors? I have a pair of 21"...

As flash drives are getting bigger and cheaper all the time, i picked up a 16GB USB thumb drive for $8 the other day. And then a wicked thought occurred to me; I have install/Live disks for Windows, MacOS X, and Linux and I use all of the above with some regularity. I prefer to use USB to...
