Trying to get Yosemite on my Early 2008 White A1181 MacBook!

Edit: RMC Mac OS X Patcher worked!

You should NOT do Unibeast/Clover on a real Mac. I used RMC OS X Patcher and Yosemite worked 🤪

Really? The RMC patcher just made my computer have a kernal panic with Yosemite. However, with El Cap, it didn't even let me use my mouse or keyboard on the install screen.

That’s weird. It worked for me, I tried various Mac OS X versions

What Mac were you trying to install on?

I’m using a MacBookAir1,1 with 2GB of ram with the stock hard drive.

I’ve tried formatting the usb and installing it again with no luck.

Take a picture or add a video of what it does. OS X or macOS patcher?

I’m not using either due to Catalina not letting me install it. It says that there isn’t anything to install.

macOS patcher only supports MacBook Air 2,2 and up.

So that is basically why you’re getting kernel panics, and it not letting you install.

No I mean the app won’t install.

You can’t download the Catalina installer from the Mac App store on an older Mac.

No I’m talking about installing the macOS Patcher on another Mac with Catalina on it 😂

You don’t install anything. You just download it off their site, open terminal, chmod +x and drag the .sh file and then sudo and drag the .sh file.

Then it opens up the OS X patcher.

Oh sorry I’m got confused by a different patcher program lol. Everything installs fine on USB, but when I plug it in and boot it from my MacBook Air, it won’t let me use the built-in keyboard or mouse.

Idk if it supports graphics acceleration for a Mac that old.

I don’t have my 08’ MacBook anymore though.
