macOS Sonoma 14.2 Update! BIG CHANGES + OCLP 1.3.0 IMPORTANT NOTE!

41 Comments

1. before Christmas i done a trade and got a mac mini 2011. updated it to big sur with the patcher and then to Monterey. when i checked for update it gave me the Sonoma 14.2.1 update. it works great. i am very new to mac os.

2. Is it just me who has the Bluetooth-disconnecting glitch which isn't yet solved in 14.2.1?

3. Can a 1TB fusion drive do all this properly? cos that's what I have and it's as fast as my other imac with 256gb SSD drive

4. To whom it may concern: I updated my late 2012 Mac Mini (was running OCLP 1.3.0 already) successfully to Sonoma 14.2.1 – as usual, it needed a manually started root patching via OCLP and another reboot before everything was up and going again. But now it‘s fine. ✌🏻

5. Hey Mr. Macintosh
   Thank you and the OCLP-Team for your hard work. Very much appreciated. My MacBook Pro 15" mid 2015 works great with Sonoma 14.2.1 with the help of OCLP 1.3.0. except for Apple Keynote. Keynote (both 12.2.1 and13.2) crushes every time I start the presentation or view an animation in the preview. Keynote did work fine under Ventura on this machine. Is this a known problem and is there a fix for it?

6. I updated to Sonoma 14.2, but the touchbar is now different. I mean the touchbar won’t change when i open a different app. I use excel a lot and the touchbar won’t give my excel tools, it stays the same with its original tools as if i had no app open.

7. No one talks about OPCL not usable on macbook pro 7,1 mid 2010

8. I updated my 2015 iMac to 14.2 and after installing patches I don't see the dock transparency? The Open Core patcher is the latest 1.3.0

9. after installing the update, about 50% of my needed professional programs were removed from my macbook pro, and when i tried to reinstall, they either did not install at all or they run with corruption and crashes, when i called and did a screen share with an apple professional i received no help in fixing my issues and when they said it would take time for the system to restore and they would call me back, they did not, or maybe i should say i am still waiting they did not say they would call me back so a few days later i guess they are still correct that a "call back" is coming. For me in my work flow need, this was the worst update ever, just giving you "MY" side of this update

10. I’m new to Mac’s but I was wondering is there a way to get the favorites tab in Apple Music on your iPhone

11. My macbook pro 2017(14,1) was updated Sonoma(from Vantura to14.1 to 14.2 ) . When I closed the screen(Not shutdown), the next day I lifted the screen and the system restarted. It never appeared before.

12. Hi mate, would you be able to make a video on how to uninstall OCLP? I have it on my old Macbook Air and can't find an easy guide on how to uninstall anywhere.

13. InDesign still isn't fully compatible with Sonoma (or, to be more accurate, Apple still didn't fix their bugs that prevent InDesign from working properly on Sonoma under some conditions). Although if you're an InDesign user you already know this anyway.

14. It was working great than 14.2 happened. Im on Mac mini 2012 later version. Wifi would not connect. Something happened, had to restore to mountain lion. Mountain lion works BUT safari doesnt. Even on LAN google search shows results but clicking on anything from the results does not connect. I just spent 3 days trying to restore with open core but no luck. Im at a stand still.

15. I have a mac mini 6,2 with dual ssd's, was running very well with Ventura, Failed twice installing the Sonoma. It seems to be setup but suddenly apps stop responding and then keyboard doesn't get a reaction. Wondering if dual SSD is confusing the OCLP setup process. I tried installing when first available and got same symptoms. I always dedicate the second ssd for carbon copy cloning of the other ssd.

16. Does anyone experience bugs with all recent macOS versions with the mouse cursor? Seems to do it on all desktop macs. When I use Photoshop and then use a web browser I no longer get the hand cursor when I hover over links. In Finder I get the side stretch mouse cursor rather than the pointer. Really wish they’d fix this. Also find there’s no way to change the font size in open / save dialogues. Minor things but I really wish they’d solve.

17. Great video

18. Hi sir! im trying to upgrade my old Macbook air late 2009 2gb ram (El capitan 10.11.6 update). I trying so hard install BigSur 11 with no success. Can u give some suggestion please or recommended OS for this old Macbook air? Thanks! you are the best on yt by far!!

19. I updated and now none of my admin passwords will work. Ya, great update apple.

20. So I installed OCLP 1.3. Downloaded 14.2. Started installing. Rebooted a couple of times. Now I am staring at blank screen for 30 minutes, with my keyboard lit. This is on MacBook Air 2014. I will let it stay overnight FWIW, but looks like it is botched right now.

21. I have installed OCLP 1.3.0 on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro running MacOs Monterey 12.7.1. Then I have asked MacOs update service to download v12.7.2. 12Gb later, I immediately have an error message saying that the update failed installing. I tried then the manual installation with the proper v12.7.2 14Gb file. The installation goes right but lasts 10 seconds. Like if Safari was the only update to be done. No system restart asked and still on 12.7.1 🤷🏼‍♂️. Anybody experienced the same issue ? Any advice to make in run ? Merci !

22. Macbook pro 10,2 early 2013
    I was running Sonoma 14.1.2 with OCLP 1.3.0
    I created a bootable installer of Sonoma 14.2 with OCLP 1.3.0 just in case OTA update didnt work.
    I also downloaded KDK manually.
    I did the OTA update and I get stuck with progress bar at 40%.
    Then I tried to reinstall 14.2 using the usb I had created. The same result.
    Entering 14.2 in Recovery mode stucks also.
    I entered in 14.2 Recovery Mode using the usb and I was able to. Then I mounted my disk and blessed last snapshot. No errors. But when I restart again the stuck progress bar.
    I have a Time Machine with my system and data when I was using 14.1.2 and I have also a Catalina USB installer, but this later option would make me completely erase the HD first.
    Could anyone help me?
    I don’t know what to do.

23. Yeah, this one is well worth doing. Also the new Ventura update fixed a lot of my slow down issues I was having in my Dolby ATMOS Music studio here. Thanks for your great reviews, which are the best I've found!!

24. Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch late 2011 with High Sierra OS, and I tried to upgrade to Sonoma via opencore 1.2.1 and 1.0.1 but unfortunately it stuck so can you please tell me which opencore should I use for my upgrade considering that it’s a 17 inch late 2011.
    Thank you.

25. Why maps won't display

26. Im using Macbook air 2017 and I uninstalled opencore since I can't use my tplink ethernet usb dongle. Is it working in this update now?

27. Thank you for the detailed video
    Have a late 2013 iMac and 2012
    Mac mini. Pre installed the new KDK’s first then updated both machines. Both machines updated to 14.2 flawlessly

28. On a MacBook Air M2 with 14.1.2 the download size of 14.2 was about 850 MB only

29. 💡Tip: Before updating Sonoma, I recommend disabling the live wallpaper & screen saver. On my iMac 17,1, if the screen saver kicks in after the update but before installing the root patches, my system will hang with a black screen, beach ball, and fans blaring. Although holding down the power button to hard-reboot, recovers the system, I rather avoid. I'm not always there on the final restart to catch it before the screen saver kicks in.

30. NOTE: For unsupported macs before updating, make sure you have the latest version of OCLP AND uninstall root patches to prevent to download a huge size for the update.

31. M1 mini, 2011 mini, 2017 iMac, 2014 mac mini, macbook pro 2017 all good on 14.2

39. Hello, Mr. Macintosh.
    Thank you for an update. For those who are on Monterey 12.7.1. and OPLC 1.3.0: is it safe to update to 12.7.2 via Apple Software Update?
