I have followed the Great Guide on my ebay Z820 sufficient to get to the screen that says "macOS Utilities" and shows a selection of Restore from Time Machine Backup, Install macOS, Get Help Online, or Disk Utility.

I would so love to click Disk Utility but my mouse cursor is in the upper left hand corner and won't move...

I am using an old (hp) PS2 mouse plugged into the green mouse controller (on the back of the Z820).

What is the solution?  Anybody have a guess?

this happen after a panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff801ef8a611...

here is the link for my efi folder.

please help me

EFI.zip

I was able to install macOS Sierra 10.12.6 a few months ago successfully with working audio, internet, etc.

But now I want to upgrade to High Sierra and am not sure whether or not it will be compatible with my system. (Tried to do it using a High Sierra USB. Wouldn't boot into installer, showed "+++++++++++++" or something.)

My specs are:

Dell Optiplex 3010

Intel Core i3-3240 @ 3.40GHz (HD2500 Integrated Graphics)

4GB of RAM

NVIDIA Quadro FX1800 (Want to use this GPU, have an extra Radeon HD7470 somewhere that I can also use in this if needed)

Conexant CX20641 Audio

Realtek RTL8111E Ethernet

So, can I upgrade to High Sierra? Please let me know.

EDIT: I kept getting this error: (See attached image)

Thanks

-Discount_Mac

everyone, I have a Lenovo Thinkcentre M73 Tiny mini pc that has the following specifications:

I3-4130T CPU

Ram 12 Gb

HDD 500GB

Wi-Fi / Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM4352HMB

and looking on the internet I saw that someone was able to install High Sierra.

I would therefore like to ask for help in this regard, I used the EFI folder posted in the discussion that illustrates the success of the installation but if I go to start the key the clover screen shows me only the Windows partitions.

I created the key using the vanilla method and the coamandi line of the terminal and the key came along well.

Does anyone have any idea where I may have gotten it wrong?

Thanks for everything.

I am also not be able to install Mac Os High Sierra.

My PC specs:

Intel Core i5 2nd Generation

10GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 2000

Mac Installation stuck at 15 Minutes remaining and then it says:

“Mac os Couldn’t be Installed on your computer.

An Error Occurred installing MacOS. To use Apple Diagnostics to check your Mac hardware, shutdown, press the power button, and immediately hold the ‘D’ key until diagnostics begins.

Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.”

Please help me out to fix this issue. 

Thanks.

It is HS Recovery image - FireWolf OS X PE 9

• Enter BIOS
• Load defaults (F6)
• Expert mode (F7)
• OC  and then CPU Features (last item)
• Disable "CFG Lock".
• Save and reboot (F10)

• Install for UEFI booting only
• Install Clover in the ESP
• drivers64UEFI all selected (more on this below)
• all rest is off

• Navigate to <USB ESP partition>/EFI/CLOVER
• Create a folder called drivers_disabled
• Move the following drivers from drivers64UEFI to drivers_disabled:
  • OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi
  • OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi
• You will have to add an extra driver from here:
  https://nickwoodhams.com/x99-hackintosh-osxaptiofixdrv-allocaterelocblock-error-update/
  Download Test2-2016.efi and save it in drivers64UEFI.
  Without this fix, you'll have the memory allocation problems described in the link above.
  If you still get that problem, don't just reboot but really turn the computer off and then on between tries.
• I also had to install apfs.efi.

• ACPI: disable everything.
• Boot: npci=0x2000. I also added -v.
• SMBIOS: iMac18,3
  Any iMac18 should work (I tried with 18,1 and 18,3). I also tried with iMac14 and iMac17, and they gave me problems. For example, iMac17,1 could not initialize the graphic screen properly.
• Leave all the rest as default. Save.

• FakeSMC.kext. I used the one from Rehabman, but I think the official one will work as well.
• VoodooTSCSync.kext. This is mandatory, otherwise the system does not boot properly. It needs to be configured as follows: open VoodooTSCSync.kext/Contents/Info.plist and change the line under
  <key>IOCPUNumber</key>
  to:
  <integer>15</integer>
  This is the number of threads of your CPU minus 1.

• Fix USB3.
• Fix audio.
• CPU ID recognition, although this might be fixed by Apple on a new iteration of the OS.
• Confirm that the CPU is working properly with all cores and different power states.
• Install NVIDI's Web Drivers for the Asus GTX 1070.

GTX 570

So OS X is installed but I can't boot from my system drive. It only boots through the USB. I searched and tried a lot of things but the issue remains. What I tried:
- replacing EFI partition from USB to my drive

- change boot drive to my drive's name in config.plist

- updated my bios to UEFI

- messed around with BIOS options

- reinstalled HS 5-6 times.

*Funny/weird thing is that in the beginning it worked! Booted fine! but then something was wrong with my mac account so I decided to reinstall. And then the issue came up. Also in the very first install it seemed like NVIDIA drivers were working fine but after I reinstalled they don't seem to work anymore. Makes me thing if something goes wrong with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url].

**I am using Legacy in clover but now I updated my BIOS to UEFI. Could this be an issue ? My motherboard is a 6 series.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Typical Causes and Solutions:
After searching google for couple of days and with the help of @PMheart I found Alext James (@TheRacerMaster)'s article : http://alextjam.es/debugging-appleacpiplatform/

Because signed char become negative when bigger than 0x7f, Apple rewrote isprint method but seems to forget to cast char to unsigned. Thus, if OemId, Signature、OemId、OemTableId or AslCompilerId in any ACPI table contains a char greater than 0x7f, it will cause a memory overflow.

Most people can solve by:

• dropping MATS/BGRT table( or other table )
• add FixHeaders_20000000 in clover ACPI patch
• Modify MATS/BGRT/other table and change that char to lower than 0x80

But sadly none worked for me

1. I dropped all of my ACPI tables except DSDT and APIC, cuz I cannot boot without these two
2. I searched for APIC and DSDT, none of their OemId, Signature、OemId、OemTableId or AslCompilerId contains char greater than 0x7f

Untypical Situation:
I took a video of my boot process using -verbose, debug=0x100, keepsyms=1 :
see online : https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4eztglltdtqxyb/boot.mp4?dl=0
In the trace, the boot process stuck at isspace other than isprint.
Out to curiosity, I decompiled AppleACPIPlatform and saw isspace looks like this:

                     _isspace:
000000000001f5cf         push       rbp                                         ; CODE XREF=_AcpiUtStrtoul64+71, _AcpiUtStrtoul64+89
000000000001f5d0         mov        rbp, rsp
000000000001f5d3         lea        rax, qword [__ctype]
000000000001f5da         mov        al, byte [rdi+rax]
000000000001f5dd         and        al, 0x20
000000000001f5df         shr        al, 0x5
000000000001f5e2         pop        rbp
000000000001f5e3         ret

And in C language it looks like this:

int _isspace(int arg0) {
    rax = (int)__ctype[arg0];
    return (rax & 0x20) >> 5;
} 

It uses __ctype as an array and rdi, which acts as argument in assembly language, as a pointer to find some char and put it into al. 
I checked the length of __ctype is 256, thus any normal byte, which is 16 bits, won't caus overflow.
However, Apple didn't cast arg0 to unsigned char. Thus, any char that's greater than 0x7f will also cause an overflow.
 
Follw the trace, I found _AcpiUtStrtoul64 the source code is here. Looks like it just uses a loop to judge whether it's a space. No other useful information were found during further dig.
 

New Discovery and Dilemma

Occasionally, i decompiled two programs written to test signed and unsigned char, and were surprised to find,

the only difference between 'cast to unsigned' and 'stay signed' in assembly language is that when delivering argument, unsigned used 'movzx' and singed used 'movsx'.

In assembly language, arguments are delivered by register rdi. So, I think, if I change 'movsx' to 'movzx' then this problem can be solved. Here's where isspace is called inside _AcpiUtStrtoul64:

0000000000001153         mov        qword [r14], 0x0
000000000000115a         movsx      edi, byte [r15]
000000000000115e         test       edi, edi
0000000000001160         je         loc_12b5

0000000000001166         mov        dword [rbp+var_2C], esi
0000000000001169         xor        eax, eax
000000000000116b         call       _isspace
0000000000001170         lea        rbx, qword [r15+1]
0000000000001174         test       eax, eax
0000000000001176         je         loc_118d

                     loc_1178:
0000000000001178         movsx      edi, byte [rbx]                             ; argument #1 for method _isspace, CODE XREF=_AcpiUtStrtoul64+99
000000000000117b         xor        eax, eax
000000000000117d         call       _isspace
0000000000001182         inc        rbx
0000000000001185         test       eax, eax 

Note that edi is the lower 32 bit of rdi .

However, after patching in Clover, it stucks that line 0000000000001178 . And checking the register printed, register edi is empty. That means something's wrong when executing movzx .

If I do not change movsx to movzx, at the panic scene we can see in the above video that register rdi is 0x00000000 ffffffa4 , thus edi is 0xffff ffa4 .

Obviously, the char that caused the problem should be A4. However, I searched APIC but didn't find A4. There is a A4 in DSDT but I have no idea how to modify.

Need Someone's Help

So, here I'm at a very embarrassed stage don't know where's wrong even what to do next... Maybe something's wrong with one of my ACPI tables? Or with AppleACPIPlatform? Or with AppleSMCRTC?

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone with this question, someone willing to dig into it please check my raw ACPI tables, BIOS ROM, modified DSDT/SSDT and my current EFI folder. Thanks very much.

I hope you can help me solve a mystery.
Even the amazing Mald0n has been working hard to help me find a solution, but now were are both stuck.
Creative thinking or maybe just help to see the forest for the trees would be highly appreciated.

PROBLEM:
Mac will not sleep.
Monitors sleep fine, and come back on with touch of keyboard.
GPU and CPU coolers are constantly running on idle to low load and will not go on standby no matter what we have tried.
Even when using full “Shut down” via apple menu the lights from the MoBo or GPU are pulsing slowly, which they normally dont as far as I recall.
(This specific issue could possibly be solved by using ErP Ready in BIOS. Haven´t tested this since that´s a smaller issue ATM)
 

Everything else seems to be working fine.
This problem started appr a week ago, and I have no idea why.
No major installs, updates or changes that I can think of.
 

GOALS:
• To be able to activate sleep via apple menu.
• To have it sleep within 15-30 secs and wake up quickly (like it did before) via push on Power button

TECH SPEC:
• Running 10.13.6
• Asus Maximus X Hero Wifi
• Gtx 1080 Ti
• 32 GB Corsair RAM
• Intel i7 8700K
• 2 monitors via Displayport
• 6 internal disks (2 HDD, 4 SSD)
• 1 external backup
• 1 internal USB hub/SD reader
• 3rd party Bluetooth and Wifi (Asus MB not compatible)
• No Blutooth mouse, KB etc

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:
• Used Mald0n’s custom DSDT with latest config
• IUpdated to latest Security Update
• Updated to latest BIOS
• Updated NVIDIA webdriver and CUDA to latest
• Disconnected LED monitors and tested with old Mac monitor via DVI to see if Displayports were the issue
• Disabled Adobe CC Sync
• Run CleanMyMac

• No start-up apps or extensions in System Prefs
• Disk Utility: checked all disks
• Terminal: no info on wake reason at all. (Possibly because it doesn´t sleep, hence nothing is interrupting it).
• Blutooth allowed to wake sleep: set to OFF
• Power manager: only setting is “never switch off monitors”. The rest are off/unchecked
• BIOS: Tested by setting "ErP ready" to S5 > no difference

• DSDT and EFI folder screenshot attached.

I think that’s it - otherwise just ask

I have read a lot of articles on this type of issue, but none with a clear answer.
So if anyone can solve this mystery, it would be amazing!
Thank you in advance!
 

Bauermac DSDT.aml.zip

UPDATE:
Of course it was something seemingly insignificant and stupid that prevented sleep: An unfinished PRINTER job.... 
After clearing the printer queue, it went to sleep but woke up immediately after due to a USB power issue. Possibly an internal USB/SD hub.
Mald0n used his magic and made a new DSDT file to fix that, and now the machine is running almost perfectly apart from a fickle Bluetooth (fingers crossed).

Hope this can help others out there with issues.

 

I set language prefs, get into recovery ok, format the drive as HFS+ (spinning drive, not SSD).

Install completes the first phase ok, (countdown is accurate).

Once the installer does the first restart it doesn't resume though.

• I tried letting it restart automatically (black screen).
• I tried manually selecting the USB drive in Clover screen (starts installation all over again). 

Is there a step I am missing perhaps? Or maybe a GPU patch needed?

Build specs in my signature.

Thanks!

This is my first hackintosh. To be completely honest there's still a lot I'm trying to figure out... And considering I can't even get the installer to begin, seems like there's something I'm just not understanding. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I've specced the machine based on a multiple successful builds I've seen in various vanilla forums.

I've set the recommended BIOS, double-checked, but can't even get to an installer screen despite following a Vanilla guide from a popular hackintosh youtuber.

(Not sure if her links can be mentioned, posted etc... Just playing it safe since this is my 1st post...)

THE BUILD:

Gigabyte Z390 Designare

i9 9900k

Sapphire Radeon RX580 Pulse - 8 GB

G.Skill TridentZ 3200 - 64 GB

Samsung EVO 840 (This is a scrap drive. Planned on using it to get the build running first, then cloning my MP 5,1 HS image after.)

Other Stuff: Bluetooth, USB, iGPU, etc not important yet... Current goal is just to get the machine booting... I'll focus on WIFI/BT etc after...

I've tried multiple SMBIOS profiles, (listed below). All of them prevent me from even booting the installer with the message below.

At this point I'm wondering if the issue is HS related, or if there's a step that, although obvious to some, isn't obvious to me and overlooking somehow.

Message returned when attempting to boot the installer. (Pic attached):

This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform!
Reason: Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95

I also get an error when I click update in Clover saying: Package is incompatible with this version of OS X and may fail to install
^ Seems like this indicates I've missed a step or done something wrong?

Here's a list of the complete steps I've taken so far:

Double-checked BIOS settings according to each build.

Built a vanilla installer based on the video I mentioned above, steps listed below... (I've done this twice now, confirming I followed the steps in the guide.)

Vanilla Installer Steps:

• Wiped and formatted my thumb drive with GUID Partition, HFS Extended (Journaled)
• Used terminal to create a bootable installer from a 10.13.6 installer I downloaded last june/july.
• Installed Clover Bootloader onto the Install macOS High Sierra partition of the thumb drive, and ticked:
• Clover for UEFI booting only, Install Clover into the ESP, VBox HFS-64, APFSDriverLoader-64, AptioMemoryFix-64 (leaving everything else unticked.)

Clover Configurator Steps:

• Mounted the Thumb Drive's EFI folder, opened C.C. and "downloaded" Lilu, WhateverGreen, & FakeSMC to the Other folder, & installed sensors.
• Deleted the default plist and manually created one using the Coffee Lake 'sample plist' from r/Vanilla Hackintosh Desktop Guide.
• Copy plist to the mounted EFI folder.

Open the plist with CC and did the following:

• Confirmed the following flags were set in CC's Boot section - Verbose (-v), dart=0, debug=0x100, & keepsyms=1
• Tried 5 different SMBIOS profiles - iMac 18,1 ,  iMac 18,3 ,  iMac 19,1 , iMacPro 1,1 , and MacBookPro 15,1.

All result in the same Mac OS X is not supported on this platform message. The one suggestion I've found so far that seemed like it might work was to add the boot argument:

 -no_compat_check

Same results, installer won't start and I get the same message...

Seems like there must be something I've missed or I've done something wrong... I've spent the weekend searching, reading, etc, no luck so far...

A few questions:

• I made the installer on my MacBook, not the build I'm trying to hack. Could this be related to the issue?  

         (I.e. - Does the vanilla method mean you need to create your SMBIOS profile on the actual machine you'll be Hackintoshing?)

• Is there a 9900k or Sapphire RX580 compatibility patch needed for 10.13 I haven't seen mentioned in the Mojave builds?

• Does the Clover update message package is incompatible with this version of OS X and may fail to install indicate something isn't right with my installer setup?

Please excuse me if anything above isn't clear, I'm brand new to all this and frankly I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a lot of it!

i have some trouble setting up my hackintosh.

problems

when i want to boot the high sierra installer i get a bunch of verbose output. it seems to go all fine...

however i get stuck after 'failedclui' not a text, 'failedimage' not a kext, and after it goes to a acpi error
ACPI RSOP 0X00000000000000000 000024 (V02 HP )
after that i get a lot of panic information and the system tries to a mach reboot but it does nothing.

if anyone could get me towards this sytem getting to work i would be very thankful.

i already tried to {censored} around with a lot of settings but nothing could get me further than i've been now.
