macOS Sonoma 14.1 Update! What’s new? + Apple Event & OCLP 1.1.0



Monterey 14.1 & OCLP 1.1.0 ISSUE UPDATE IN THE DESCRIPTION! Apple just released the first major update to macOS Sonoma 14.1! I’ll go over all the details behind this update including new features, bug fixes, security updates & enterprise changes. Plus I’ll cover OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.1.0 support for macOS Sonoma 14.1 on Unsupported Macs. CHAPTERS BELOW!

WARNING! I recommend NOT installing the Sonoma 14.1 Update on Unsupported Macs right now! The 14.1 Update is causing issues on certain Unsupported Macs that require the 14.1 KDK! After the Sonoma 14.1 update it will get stuck at a black screen or progress bar. My OLCP update test demo worked but ONLY because it was connected to the internet via an ethernet connection! If it would have been connected to wifi it would have failed to download the kdk and would be unable to boot. Check out my latest video on the issue and how to recover if this happened to you –

  1. One thing they removed with sonoma is the possibility to scroll without end in the "recently added" part of you music library. They also don't have the "sort by date added" feature for albums sorting unlike aplle music on iOS 16.1. Little but it makes looking up older music so much more tedious and annoying.

  2. My Mac Pro 5,1 gets stuck on the Apple logo after installing root patches. Nothing I’ve tried has fixed it so I’m trying to do a reinstall of macOS in recovery mode
    Update: this fixed it. I reinstalled the root patches and now everything is working haha

  3. Hi there, so long story short I download the 14.1 and I am in the final installer phase it works and it reboots and tries to boot up it get to 30-45% and once it reaches that point it stops I left it all night still nothing. So I try to do what you showed and the commands worked but it still won’t boot up which I’m booting up from a drive first and then switching later to hard drive after full completion but back to what I was saying the commands themselves worked in the terminal but did not work in the load and is still stuck. So if the problem is the KDK files how to I load them without access to my system or how do I fix this situation pls help thank you 😊

  4. Updated to OCLP 1.1.0 and Monterey 12.7.1 without issues. Thanks to the OCLP Team! People, if you've managed to resurrect your old Mac PLEASE CONSIDER donating to the OCLP team, even if it's a dollar.

  5. One more thing that was fixed in 14.1 is the USB audio devices that were broken. Almost nobody is talking about this but a lot of DJs, music producers and content creators got pissed off because of this issue after installing 14.0.

    Edit: This only affected Intel machines for some reason.

  6. Hello Mr.Hakintosh I installed Sonoma on a 2009 core 2 duo everything is ok but when I my garangeband it gave a message that there is an issue with not being able to initiate graphics for this app .
    Any tip to fix this.
    I need it for my music production .
    If I can't I will downgrade to Mojave .
    Thanks a lot .
    Thumbs up you 're the boss.

  7. Ya updated with no hesitation to OCLP 1.1.0 but still staying with latest Ventura. If i find the time i will try the Sonoma on a new SSD with clean installation (MBP 13 – i7 late 2011)

  8. MacBook Pro 15" 2017 with Touch Bar, lots of restarts. Mouse was jerky initially, deleted the 14.0 in developer then redid patching it pulled the newer patches and all seems ok now. 2013 MacBook Pro 13", everything was ok about from some fault message which is gone after using onyx to clear things up. All working fine. Have noticed the wifi symbol on bar is light grey and only shows connected wifi and not all in vicinity, but working ok.

  9. I'm using a 2017 15" macbook pro. I'm still on Ventura. Do you think it's a good idea to upgrade using oclp? Would you please post a video to upgrade to sonoma on said device? That would be helpful.

  10. MacBook Pro 13, 2015 I started update to Sonoma 14.1 and before that I had OCP 1.1.0, it rebooted twice and then it can't boot the OS! Any advice on what to do?

  11. I am trying to install Mac OS Sonoma in my mid
    2014 MacBook Pro using open core legacy patcher 1.1.0 while installing the Mac OS Sonoma Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it I tried to install Mac OS
    Ventura using open core legacy (0.6.8) also tried again Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it and I tried installing Ventura using OPCLP
    0.5.1 in the last minute of installation I got stuck in black screen my MacBook Pro model is 11,1
    Mid 2014 with Retina display I reinstalled clean Mac os big sur using internet recovery mode and could please help me through this install Mac OS
    Ventura or Sonoma

  12. Sonoma completely messed up my iCloud data.
    Constantly synching but thats Not the Problem.
    It made several copies of different Folders, contents spread seemingly arbitrarily between These copies.
    Now i still dont know if a Future Update is going to Reverse/fix this but more importantly i dont know what data is lost.
    I have a timemachine Backup, but Paying monthly for Apple plus thinking my stuff would be Save and then for this to Happen sucks big time.

  13. Updated to OCLP v1.1.0 on my late 2009 iMac 11,1 (2.8 GHz i7 with AMD radeon 4850 GPU) and the photo app crashes when I try to open it. Tried a few things but downgraded to v1.0.1 and re-set the root patches to that state to get the app running again. Seems there is a bug in the v1.1.0 for my kind of iMac model. 😮

  14. Updated to Somona 14.0 2 weeks ago. Works fine but only 1 small problem hope it gets fixed with the 14.1 update. Somona won’t run the clean my mac software

  15. Please, please can you do an in depth video about updating the OS on an unsupported Mac using opencore. I have tried many times, update done and then everything fails because I don’t know the correct procedure to re-install patches etc. your videos seem to show the update, the after, but not actually doing it and what problems you could face and what to do if it fails to re-boot. Many thanks
