App Store Issues - Need a Fix

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hi guys,

Need some help fixing the app store..

Currently cannot connect due to having a unsupported ethernet and wireless adapter..

I have internet connection using a usb wireless adaptor, and I also have PDANet installed to get internet over 3g using iphone, this shows as ethernet1 ...

Does anybody know how I can fix this appstore using clover ? Is there a ethernetbuiltin-yes flag for clover ?

Any tips would be much appreciated..

Thanks

I have just deleted Network Preferences and booted without USB adapter so PDANet is now showing as en0 but I still get app store unknow error when signing in..

have you tried this:

go to

Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration then delete

COM.APPLE.NETWORK.IDENTIFICATION.PLIST and NETWORKINTERFACE.PLIST

reboot

System builds these and you should then have EN0 (App Store needs this - EN1 does not work).
