OS 12.6.3 - Photos app not opening at all.

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.

Hello! I follow the Olarila Guide, my laptop is fully working Laptop Lenovo 310

- i3 6006u, HD 520, OS 12.6.3., SMBIOS MacBook Pro 13,1

When I click the Photos app i get this message.

This is whats in inside Photos app in Finder (show package Content)

Everything else is working fine. I got accelerated support working, opencore bootloader updated. All other iCloud apps working and syncing fine. Even FaceTime calls.

Any idea how to fix it? Please.

I even tried a clean install again. The problem persists.

Hello! No updates. I’ve been trying to think what’s going on. And no idea. Everything else works great. Only Photos app refuses to open at all.

could be something related to my SMBIOS? I’m currently on MacBookPro13,1
