Micky1979 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Today, 03/20/13 marks an extraordinary event that's been in the making for some time. The staff of InsanelyMac are proud to present to you : "Pandora's Box" Pandora's Box application is a new "Tool" that can be used to create your own installer for Lion 10.7 or Mountain Lion 10.8 with the option to use either the retail app version or it's dmg image file. Also included is a post installation utility to apply additional fixes after install or after a OSx software update. So those features are great, but you will see "PANDORA'S BOX" also adds some additional functionality to the installation process. With the option for you to configure and choose much of the customization during the OSx installation process, once complete, you can immediately boot into your new working install without requiring any further setup.

WhatTheTech Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm very excited about this, a big "thank you" to everyone who spent hours slaving away to make this a reality! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex009988 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think there is super good project. It is so to be regretted that I hadn't found it in when I was installing my hackintosh one year ago. I would have tormented less during installing MacOSX. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKerz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Awesome! And also it comes with a perfect timing. About to start my first Hackintosh installation in a few days. Very cool that it's also in Italian, that is my first language. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xj0hnx Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hello, could this tool be used to upgrade Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion? Or is it only for new clean install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniHack Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Like it. Nice and easy install for 10.8.3 on my probook. Many thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKerz Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Tested and... worked perfectly! Hands down the best tool to install ML quickly and without problems. This is my first Hackintosh I built, and I tried iAktos, Tony's things, but this beats them all. Just had to install a pair of kexts for my system and my Hackintosh is perfect now. The only little issue was that the AppleIntel1000 Ethernet kext apparently was missing from the archive. When I tried to install it the program said it was missing. I even tried to re-download pandora a couple of times. Not really an issue, btw! I just went ahead and downloaded it from another site. The last thing I have to do now is enabling HDMI/DisplayPort audio... I'll try to figure it out later... :S Kudos to the creators of this!! Keep it up. (Ragazzi, siete grandi!) PS: Now that I think about it... I could use my newly created beast to make a videotutorial for this wonderful tool (it's pretty straightforward, btw). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hello, could this tool be used to upgrade Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion? Or is it only for new clean install? At the moment there is a problem using Pandora in Snow Leopard (confirm?).The problem will be fixed in the next release, but I think you can do upgrade, as if you were using a normal Retail instalation. This has worked for me from 10.7 to 10.8. Micky The only little issue was that the AppleIntel1000 Ethernet kext apparently was missing from the archive. When I tried to install it the program said it was missing. I even tried to re-download pandora a couple of times. Not really an issue, btw! You're right. I saw a new version with a different name by the same developer ...I see to fix in the next release. Micky Like it. Nice and easy install for 10.8.3 on my probook. Many thanks. ProBook? ...Ivy or Sandy Bridge??IDT audio is working for Probook Ivy Bridge with Pandora, he he! Micky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKerz Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Can I also suggest to add the kext for ALC 898 codec? As far as I know many users now have boards with it. Only one problem with GUI interface builded in 10.8 whit "only 10.7" compatibility....and we received this bug, would like to know if it still happens with everyone. However, it will not damage your system! Micky If you mean that you can't run Pandora on SL yes, I've had this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapikere Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Honestly , this "Pandora's Box" USB Stick /DVD "installer maker" utility is the best "Installer Maker" if compared with another Installer Maker Utility out there. I tried this tools with my USB stick and External HDD with NO FAIL and Installer run smooth till the end without any KP Thanks Micky1979 and InsanelyMac Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
