ultimateon Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi everyone my name is ultimateon, and i'm here to seek some advice (Hold on to your eyeballs i'm gonna rant hard!). So after a FEW 10-11 tries(?) i have googled far and wide and failed miserably at trying to install OSX snow leopard on my pc, don't know if it was either the hardware that was incompatible or if its my lack of experience at mac and mac related software, but anyways , the closest i got to getting mac installed was with an iaktos ml2 usb drive and after instaling said drive it got stuck on the apple loading logo (forgive my ineptitude i still have this instaled if somone is willing to help me troubleshoot this).And after many hard and boring trys and endless hours of rage and googling this and that i decided to post on the varius forums.TL;DR i failed miserably and need help My build Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (uefi bios updated, not sure if latest) Intel i5 2500 3.30 ghz (not unlocked version) Powercolor Radeon 6870 RipjawsZ F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL Samsung HM321HI 320 GB hard drive Currently i only have a VBox with a snow leopard image running, i can't use to burn dvd's because it crashes so i can only instal via usb i have 2 16 gb generic Usb's (one is totaly generic and the second is from grixx).Also i still have the iatkos ml2 image instaled in the hardrive stuck at the loader anyone who wishes to help me... just say so.

Rampage Dev Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Follow my retail install guide here: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/os-x-10-8-mountain-lion Boot with: -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes Post install you only need FakeSMC and NullCPU for basic functionality which you can work off of for the rest.

Pimentel Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hello Yes, we give support for Myhack, but we don't give support for tonymac's tools, check my signature to know why. Follow the guide created by Rampage Dev. Other thing, NullCPUPM is good, but isn't best choice... like Rampage Dev said it's "for basic functionality". So if you want get a full power management read in here to know how: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295587-power-management-for-sandy-and-ivy-bridger/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
