JahStories Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 create a small ntfs partition, even 512mb, format it to hfs+ via disc utility from osx installer and install Clover on it, that will give you a sort of "bootloader partition" that could fix your problems Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292645-guide-surfacepro-1-2-osx-android-windows-multiboot/page/66/#findComment-2019148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleidosCope Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The problem is that I cannot get to the OSX installer! A crazy test (before backup as i sugested as 3rd mantra). Wipe the disk! From my point of view you did everything right - try to mess around with a clean disk , (or even try another laptop... just for the booting to check) - i think there is confusion between efi partitions... but check on a pc or different laptop!!!

I just tried booting the USB stick in an Lenovo Yoga 13 (i5 processor) and a desktop with EUFI support on and no go. How can I wipe the SSD without getting into the OSX installer? Thanks for the help!

JahStories Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 you are probably doing something wrong preparing the stick... or maybe a damaged (edit: unsupported) usb drive, use another one.

The Yoga 13 is one of our machines at work. I have been thinking of picking up the 11 inch i5 version if the Surface doesn't work out. i guess that too... try a different usb-stick or else... dont do nothing to your drive its not involved. I found an older 8GB pen drive and it seems to be working. I'm installing OSX now.

JahStories Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 no, it works even with the driver, but just under display preferences, i've tried fn+end and fn+backspace (surface pro windows brightness shortcuts) but those don't work.

counter5th Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 @ JahStories, I'm not sure what you mean in display settings. I thought the brightness adjust was via the windows key + volume buttons The f keys adjust keyboard brightness on my typecover 2 An alternative that has been working for me is an apple keyboard in an origami case. Full native brightness and audio control from keyboard Also brightness slider app from the App Store is a good alternative. You can map a combination of keys for shortcut and allows for finer degree of brightness control.

JahStories Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Please, hamido this could cause confusion, this brightness slider under monitor means that brightness is working.

counter5th Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 @ hamido123, Interesting. Maybe I'll update the efi folder. How do you change your keyboard brightness the ? @ JahStories Got it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292645-guide-surfacepro-1-2-osx-android-windows-multiboot/page/66/#findComment-2019514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamido123 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 keyboard brightness works like before by pressing fn + F1 or fn + F2. i swiched fn and F buttons a while ago u can do this by a shortcut but i cannot remember which one. edit : here u got Lock Function Keys - The top row of keys on Touch and Type Cover (1 or 2) are shortcut keys by default. Pressing Fn + Caps will swap the functionality to the F1-F12 keys 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292645-guide-surfacepro-1-2-osx-android-windows-multiboot/page/66/#findComment-2019518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
