macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

I might have missed if someone already asked this (I’m not looking through all 105 pages on an iPhone) but I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 13” and I have an SSD running in APFS. When I run the installer, it installs just fine but the post install doesn’t run. Does anyone know what’s going for on? Do I have to remake the usb drive? Or is this an issue with the hardware? I did wipe the drive before I installed it.
you don't have to when there's a search function.
can you provide additional details on how exactly the post install doesn't run?
I had the same issue on my 2011 17". I had to do HFS+. You might want to try that just to confirm the issue.
First of all whoops! I didn’t realize that! Thank you for letting me know!
Second, I install MacOS after reformatting the drive, as you’re supposed to, and it installs just fine. Then I reboot the Mac and I click on the Post Install, but no matter what, it doesn’t do anything. No new window pops up. It acts like I didn’t even click it. It isn’t frozen though.

Okay. I will give it a try.
Edit: if HFS+ doesn’t work, I’ll try to remake the drive. That may also be an issue.
I was searching on my phone yesterday and it was still really hard, because the search cuts off some of the posts that are returned as a result. I mean, it's only 105 pages

I was having an issue sometimes where the post patch installer was opening behind the Install macOS window. Do you think that's what's happening to you?

Maybe...let me check!
I do... Which is why I'm not sure why this issue is happening.
I had similar issue, however have you tried highlight Post Install & Command O?
Sorry for interrupting you guys. My MacOS Mojave Patcher is crazy (probably lol) I tryed different USB and also external HDD and still i get issue Input/Output error on MID 2010 MB WHITE
I am buying an SSD before installing Mojave on my 2010 MacBook Pro, will APFS work, since it worked natively on macOS High Sierra?
Give it a try. Mojave is running on two Mac minis that I have early and late 2009, very smooth.
Do you think its possible that the issue is not formatting the usb or formatting to may times before using the Mojave patcher
I just my realized something funny, if we can't get AMD 6xxx graphics working for my 2011 Mac mini, I might just pull my slower 2010 mini out that does work with the 10.14 patch...just because I want a dark themed UI for my living room lol
Please, look at the OP. All compatible machines are listed there.
Yes. Apple stopped supporting a lot of Macs that are in reality capable of running the OS.
Can you please update the list of AMD Graphics supported and unsupported machines? I'm confused of what you mean by HD 4000 and below and such.
EDIT: I'm trying to see what iMacs I should be looking at but don't want to buy one without Mojave support.
I thought dosdude1 was able to get some iMacs with AMD Graphics to work with Mojave?
Yes but Apple list of "supported" Macs differs. With patch 2009 iMac's & up.
MacOS Mojave Compatible Macs List
- MacBook Pro (mid 2012 and newer)
- MacBook Air (mid 2012 and newer)
- MacBook (early 2015 and later)
- iMac (late 2012 or newer)
- iMac Pro (2017 or newer)
- Mac Pro (late 2013 or newer, or mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with Metal capable GPU)
- Mac Mini (late 2012 or newer)
Yeah I'm wondering what iMacs dosdude was able to get Mojave on. Since I did read somewhere newer ones were still not working.
EDIT: I'm not wondering what Apple Supports, I'm wondering what Dosdude1's Patches support.

I just want to say to everyone that helped me, thank you. However, I’m biting then bullet and I’m remaking a usb drive. I think that my internet messed up and corrupted the file and that wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.
