  5. I have been using OCLP for quite some time now on my 12,2 iMac from mid 2011 and so far everything works fine, except for Maps that doesn't want to load the map. Any idea how this can be solved? Another minor issue I am having is that although I uncheck "Show OpenCore Boot Locker" the bootpicker keeps showing up when booting.

  6. I tried to install from 13.4.1 (c) to 13.5.1 and it fails installing after downloading and trying to install. I have everything unplugged and nothing else running. It installs for about 10 minutes and then says it can't install. Tried over and over. No luck. 2019 iMac Any suggestions? Plenty of hard drive space and Ram. 3TB and 40GB.

  9. I have OCLP 0.6.8 but I still get a popup that claims I am using 0.6.7 and asks me to update to 0.6.8. Is there a way to fix that? I searched for a duplicate OCLP app and didn't find one.

  10. hello, I have a Mac mini 2018 with Ventura 13.5.1 and I want to enable the Airplay receiver function with the new OCLP. but I can not, can you point me where I have to touch? (if this is possible) I will appreciate, thank you so much for the help!- Noel from Argentina

  13. Is it possible for you to test Geekbench scores of a supported intel mac. I am always afraid that they might slowdown the intel devices. Especially when new macos is just around the corner.

  18. @Mr. Macintosh I have another question. I had previously updated my macbook pro 2016 to ventura using openlegacy patcher, following your videos offcourse. later on i was able to receive 13.5.1 update normally. my question is, when the macOS sonoma officially rolls out, will i get the update to it directly just like i had received 13.5.1 or since its a new OS, i will have to do a complete new installation again for OS 14. and in that case, do i have to completely erase everything from MAC or can i just reinstall but with a new OS? need your opinion.

  19. Great video! Do you know if OCLP can support booting an NVME drive through an Apple Thunderbolt 2 to 4 adaptor? I tried it and the drive does not power up.

  21. is anyone having trouble mounting exfat drives?? my gf uses big sur and her samsung T7 (that was originally formatted exfat with a windows computer, i think)
    shows up just fine on her older intel mac.

    but on my m2 work laptop with ventura 13.5.1, it appears for like 2 seconds, then disappears.
    so goddamn annoying. what is causing this? I am aware exfat is shit b/c it doesn't have journaling.

  26. I AM stuck. Things were fine with 13.5 on my 2011 5,1 Mac mini. I installed the update, it booted up. Prompted me to reinstall Opencore on my internal SSD. I rebooted, the Apple Logo/progress bar fills a 1/3 up, then my screen goes blank/black. Left it overnight hoping it was still working and no change. Subsequent restarts get me the same results. Any help is appreciated.

  27. Just an update for those old MacBook pro users (2011). Since 13.5 update something happened with the bluetooth driver (?) and it just stopped working. Every time you could turn it on from its icon on the bar, but it was not working. 1 out of 10 you could also turn it on from the bluetooth settings, but also with no luck
    I just booted on my old catalina (patched also) and it was working fine. After i rebooted in Ventura, voila! It is working just fine again…
