This is the message I get when trying to connect to iCloud with my Apple ID. Efi folder link is provided in the description of the Youtube video (in my 1st post).

Successful installation of Public Beta on Ivy bridge (i5-3470) with Nvidia GT740 Everything runs great. The only problem I have is that I cannot connect to my Apple ID (iCloud). I can connect without any problem to my App Store, but when I try to connect to my iCloud I get a message saying "cannot connect to Apple server". Do you experience this too? I made a short video.

Does anyone know how to get into safe mode (or insert any other boot args) from the opencore bootloader menu screen? I know I can add boot args when I have already booted into the desktop (using opencore configurator or propertree etc), but how can I add any boot args at the boot menu? I tried holding shift when booting but nothing happens. Fyi I am using OC 0.5.9

I also made a video. Link:

I added a link to download my EFI file on the first post!?

Managed to successfully install Macos Big Sur Beta 3 in my compact Cooler Master Elite 120 PC box, even if Ivy Bridge CPU is not officially supported by Apple. Specs: CPU: Ivy Bridge i5-3470 GPU: Nvidia GT 740 2gb Ram: 8gb (2x4) DDR3 1600ghz Mobo: Asrock H61M Mini ITX Storage: 120gb Proton SSD Kexts: FakeSMC, Lilu, AppleALC, GenericUSBXHCI, RealtekRTL8111, USBInjectAll, WhateverGreen. I previously had successfully installed Catalina in this PC. I restored a Big Sur BETA 1 dmg image on an 120gb SSD and used my Catalina EFI, with some modifications, mainly updating all my Kexts to the latest/dev ones, updating OpenCore to 0.6.0 and changing the SMBios to iMacPro1,1.I booted successfully to Big Sur Beta1 and then I updated to Beta3 without any problem. What works: Sound, GPU acceleration, USB ports, Ethernet, CD Player, sleep, boot, shutdown. The Motherboard does not have BT or wifi so I cannot test. Even though I used for some time a USB dongle of Archer together with Chris1111 wireless usb adapter software (updated for Big Sur) and it was working fine. Guides I used: From Dortania and dmg image from Olarila Efi folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OsdCX8S25QkYLm6gfvAZftq63L5PmrKu?usp=sharing

So, just as an update about this matter, I did get a new 1600mhz ram stick (of different brand) and it was still not working. I could not boot. I searched through forums etc. and I have found that when you get this problem, you should enter the details of the memory sticks inside the smbios in config.plist. So I booted using only one ram stick, mounted the efi partition, completed all the details of the ram sticks inside the SMBIOS category, saved and shut down. I installed the 2nd ram stick, booted and voila! The system booted with 8gb of ram.

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean "you have it in your hacks?" You have what? 2 ram sticks of different frequency or 2 ram sticks of different size? I have not edited the dsdt.

Hello guys. I would like your kind advise on the following. I have successfully completed another hackintosh built. I used an HP 4300 pro with an Nvidia 1050ti and installed High Sierra (so as to have full acceleration with Nvidia drivers). My problem is the following. The prebuilt HP came with a 4gb DDR3 ram clocked at 1600mhz. I have another 4gb DDR3 ram stick, but is clocked at 1333Mhz. Whilst both ram sticks work without any problem with Win10 (I am dual-booting), I cannot boot into High Sierra if I use both of them. The only way to boot into High Sierra is to use only one of them (either the 1333mhz stick or the 1600mhz stick at any slot). So there is no problem with any of the ram slots, and no problem with the sticks (since both are recognized and working in win10). Is this a problem with Macos and Hackintosh? Do I need to use ram sticks of same frequency? P.S.: Also do I need to use same GB ram sticks? (i.e. 4+4), or can I also use 4+8? Thanx in advance!

Thank you for your reply. I checked the forums and I think that this card works on Sierra (not high sierra) by doing the following: Inject ATI, LoadVBios, FB=Eulemur, tried Cedar as well, FakeID=68E01002 I am trying to install Sierra now on the laptop, but unfortunately I get stuck at an error during first boot saying something like: "service exited with abnormal code 1" and I don't know what to do. I am using the Olarila image for sierra. When I use the Olarila image for High Sierra I did not have this error. Can you please assist?

Hello to you all. I am new in the hackintosh world, therefore I kindly ask for your patience and understanding. I have a, i3 Dell 1564 laptop with an ATI mobility Radeon 5450 GPU with 1024mb memory. I have managed to install High Sierra on it. I also managed to get the sound working. The wifi card I think is not compatible, so I use internet via a netgear usb stick). I have been trying to get the GPU to work for the last 3 days without any success. I cannot get the resolution to 1366x768 and it only says that it has 3mb memory I have searched this forum and many others, and from what I understand I need to use something like backport kexts of Sierra (or DSDT ? etc.) Can someone help me please on a step by step basis? I attach herewith information of my hardware (using dpci manager). Trust this is helpful. Any other assistance for getting the battery indicator to work and generally any other tips to get all things working (power management etc) will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! list.zip
