^ I Followed this tutorial above ^

 

I was able to create a bootable 8 gig thumb drive using the instructions above.

 

I booted from it and installed Mac OS X 10.7.4, fully updated.

 

I was able to boot to the desktop using the thumb drive after installation and I am very impressed, everything is fast, elegant and my Ethernet works before I even run ######.

 

I don't have a DSDT file for my x58 chipset, so I did not use one. I searched for it but there is none.

 

It seems to be working file!

 

 

 

It seem I only have a few very tiny problems to work.

 

When I open Safari and try to play an ad on Apple.com, the video doesn't load or play when I click play.

 

I installed Mozilla firefox, the newest one, 13 and the intro video seemed to load but would not play, I tried to skip through but it didn't help.

 

I installed Google Chrome and went to youtube.com with the same results, buffering forever, keep in mind the internet does work, and very well. I have a high-speed connection. I was after all able to download Mozilla and Chrome to my Hackintosh.

 

Also, I tried opening one of my mp3's and it opens iTunes but iTunes keeps crashing when I try to play the song.

 

My Audio is missing, I need to install my audio driver, I think it might be related. Videos not playing and music crashing iTunes. When iTunes does not crash, and the play button is hit. It shows Play but the progress of the song stays still and does not move and you can see that the seconds of the song playing stays at zero.

 

And the last problem I encountered is, after installing ######, also NOTE: that I am certain that I made mistakes installing drivers, bootloaders etc. I haven't done this before until now after all but I did take my time and do my best. Remember to keep in mind that I did not use a DSDT as suggested by lifehacker.com, not because I do not want to but because it doesn't exist and I am not capable of doing this myself.

 

Please tell me what to do, to overcome these minnor issues or tests to do to discover what my next move should me. I will be monitoring this thread, checking it for new posts every ten minutes for the next few days or longer or until I get this working 100%. Be assured that I am committed and you do not need to go far as I will answer you to help you help me as fast, as I can.

 

p.s. it is very pleasant typing on my Hackintosh, I am very happy and excited.

 

Also, I forgot to mention, I installed a bootloader but when I try to boot Mac OS X all I get it the white screen with the half eaten Apple and the spinning wheel forever. it doesn't get to the desktop on its own. It only boots-up if I get help from the thumb drive to boot it up,

 

I attached a picture of my Device Manager before I formatted my drive but I don't know why it didn't appear, so here is my drivers list.
