JaredP Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi there! I'm Jared. I'm trying to install OS X on my Toshiba laptop, but I'm having some issues, most likely due to the generic hardware on my laptop. Here's the specs: Model: Toshiba L505-S5971 Motherboard: Toshiba Base -- North Bridge: Intel GM45/GM47 Revision 07 -- South Bridge: Intel 82801IM (ICH9-M) Revision 03 Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz -- MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, ET64, XD, EST Memory: 4GB DDR2 Wireless: Intel® WiFi Link 5100 AGN (believe it is incompatible) Wired: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Video: Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Internal) -- 128MB Dedicated Memory & 1631MB Shared Memory Sound: Realtek High Definition Audio More details here.. Now, I have tried using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + Retail OS X and the only issues with it are that it only has one resolution (no display enabled?), wireless or wired does not work, USB does not work (devices are powered but OS X doesn't recognize), and the system fan is bipolar. I have tried the enablers and kexts that come with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and have been unsuccessful. I'm trying iATKOS next, and then the other flavors of OSx86 if necessary. However, I'm hoping for someone to be able to tell me if my hardware is even compatible before I go through all the steps. If you need any more information, feel free to ask. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
