OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389) bootable USB for Intel PCs

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.

Perna, preciso de ajuda e gostaria de saber se consegue ajudar.

tenho um HP Pavilion DV6000 e estou querendo fazer ele de cobaia para a instalação o OS X.

Li diversos posts e tutoriais, inclusive baixei os seus arquivos, porem, estou com duas duvidas que nao consegui realizar:

1- Não consigo colocar minha BIOS em modo AHCI, não ha essa opção e,

2- O arquivo do do USB bootloader é so colocar no pendrive, precisa de alguma modificação?

Abrços

When will you release 10.10.2 ?

pernacabeluda · February 3, 2015

I won't.

This image is intended for people who don't have a working OS X. Once you have any version running you can easily create an updated installer, there are guides all over the internet, even in this forum.
