Does your Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard work without problems in Ventura on the iMac 2010?

For me Bluetooth issues are there with Ventura on Macbook Air mid 2011 model 4,2.
You see other devices in bluetooth pane but you cannot add them or pair them. Crazy i cant pair my iphone 13 which says this is not supported with this device that is my mac. Havenot had any luck, lets hope the developers solve this in next update of OCLP.

I used OCLP 0.6.1 to install Ventura 13.1 and the black boxes disappeared after the root patches. I didn't have to change anything on the display section of the settings menu.
With 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 for me with mini 5,1 root patches didn't fix the black box. I had to change display to unknown to fix that.

yes, the black areas disappeared only with the new OCLP version. No display workaround and no uninstallation of OCLP 0.6.1. That's why I replied to you.
I really have done nothing with this machine until then: not installed anything, not browsed, ... just did the installation some days ago and then applied the OCLP v0.6.2 nightly version.
Maybe the attached screen is relevant for the different experiences ?!
I must say that Ventura runs extremely well on my MacPro 3,1 (specs below). I would like to take the opportunity to thank the developers involved!
Nevertheless, there are points to mention that don't work so well yet (no reproach at all, just FYI):
So far my first experiences. Maybe someone involved in the further development of the OpenCore Legacy Patcher will read this.
Nevertheless, there are points to mention that don't work so well yet (no reproach at all, just FYI):
- A clean install or upgrading over an existing installation with a USB stick is not possible here so far. An upgrade from Monterey to Ventura via Software Update in Preferences worked flawlessly here.
- Two internal SuperDrives connected via PATA are no longer recognized. In Monterey they still worked, if I remember correctly.
- I get WiFi and Bluetooth via a PCIe card (Fenvi FV-T919). I had installed an original Mini PCIe card from an iMac before (BCM94360CD 802.11ac/Bluetooth 4.0) that was supposed to work. But no matter how I connected the Mac's internal antennas, I never had success getting this card to work properly.
The Fenvi card works out of the box (Handoff, Continuity, AirDrop, Universal Control), but after waking from sleep, WiFi is off (without being able to turn it on) and the Magic Mouse shows as connected in Bluetooth, but it doesn't respond to motion.
In Monterey, WiFi worked even after waking up, Bluetooth could be "reanimated" by opening Bluetooth in System Preferences (here with a wired keyboard and Spotlight) and waiting a moment.
Unfortunately, this no longer works in Ventura, so I have to restart the computer every time. After that, everything works again as usual. Of course, it could be that this is a bug in Ventura and also natively supported Macs have problems with it, I can't judge.
So far my first experiences. Maybe someone involved in the further development of the OpenCore Legacy Patcher will read this.

So to follow up on my previous posts - having seent a good while attempting to get 13.2 installed on my iMac 10,1 - here are the updates
Installed onto a Clean SSD- done
Boots into Venura find from patched Efi volume on SSD- done
Installing root patches- not good
Gets all the way to the end then fails with the error below as before.
Any idea's folks ?

Have a look at Library/Extensions and remove the corresponding .kext on a test basis. Try then to re-apply the root patches ...
OK - so I have nothing in there except those kext files
What's next ?
I remember when I installed this on my MacPro it downloaded some KDK ? (maybe) file during the post patch install ?
I have same issue on Mac mini Late 2012 , macOS 13.2 installer with OCLP 0.6.1 on separate partition from Catalina via the new USB3 Kingston , any idea ?Clean or conventional installation of macOS 13.2 with OCLP 0.6.1 via USB3 card reader on a native USB 2 port or a card reader in my display (actually a USB 3 hub ...) doesn't work here. With about remaining 12 minutes of the installation procedure this error suddenly appears:

An offered restart always brings me back to this point.
Can this be fixed or circumvented?
Thanks in advance for useful hints!

So it seems get a different missing file each time I run the post patch installer..
weird - anyway just so you, I'm using my iMac to write these posts with an ethernet cable stretched across the floor while the missus is at work and keyboard and mouse connected via a USB-C hub and adapter to the back of the iMac
so the iMac is working basically- just no acceleration wifi or bluetooth which I'd taken note of this mysterious KDK file the patcher downloaded from my MacPro 5,1 -maybe this holds the key ?
Keep helping me guys -want to try and get this working before the missus gets In from work or else the ethernet cable may be used for other things by her lol
castration springs to mind after my last venture into having cables all over the floor lol

What about System/Library/Extensions/ ?
Maybe the hint in this post helps, haven't tried yet ...
Ohh I'll try later tonight and let you know - hope I can get this sorted, its the last piece of the puzzle....
Super chuffed my MacPro 5,1 is working perfectly though - as previously mentioned by other members, seems to run as good, if not better on Ventura than previously on Monterey.
Lucky you!! I've got a MacPro 4.1 to 5.1 firmware upgraded with 12 GB RAM, Radeon RX580 Nitro 8 GB. First I had some issues installing Ventura because, after a fresh install, the screen flashed all the time when getting to the logging screen. I was able ( I don't know how ) to introduce the password in one of those flashes, get to the Desktop, update the patchers for AMD Polaris and finally get an usable computer again. But after 3 days, the MacPro started to freeze every x minutes ( around 15-20 minutes ). And then the computer didn't come back. I'm trying to reinstall Monterey with an external USB but when it gets to 13 minutes the computer hangs again. I'm afraid Ventura has mess with the hardware somehow. Fist time I have to regret for using OCLP. I think it isn't mature enough for the release, at least for the older MacPros. Yes, I know it's always a risk, and may be I have been too lucky during the last 6-7 years using Open Core. Thankfully I bought a MacStudio few months ago in anticipation for this to happen.
You have to do a fresh install. Even though Catalina may be in different partition it clashes with the opencore efi folder firmware inputs , so you will get this error as per image you posted.
Nothing "mysterious" about it, the KDKs reside in Library/Developer/KDKs/KDK_13.2_22D49.kdk <--- this is what you should see. Delete that KDK and try the Post Install Root Patch again (after checking that the Library/Extensions folder only has those 3 files mentioned above). This KDK subject has been mentioned several times on previous pages, maybe a search is suggested?OK - so I have nothing in there except those kext files

Make sure you chose the disk containing the 0.6.2 EFI partition in the Boot Picker first and then the disk containing Ventura.
I have a Late 2009 iMac 27" 11,1 with a K2100M. I use OCLP 0.6.1 and am running 12.6.3. It is very stable for me.
Is the current version of OCLP stable enough for this Mac to consider upgrading to Ventura? Although it's not a work-critical machine, it's for my son - so stability is most important here.

There is a very real difference in the complexity involved in getting Ventura to work on older Macs without Metal capable GPUs. I have an old MBP 2011 that runs Big Sur fine using OCLP 0.6.1 but even Monterey is difficult on that machine. If you need stability, stay with Monterey or Big Sur. Ventura will work, with some iffy areas, but I think that hardware is simply too old to run the latest OS (my opinion only, others may think differently).
I do have a Metal-capable GPU (NVIDIA K2100M).
Are you speculating/generalizing that the 'hardware is too old', or is there something specific with the i7-860 Lynnfield CPU that OCLP can't specifically fix via for Ventura?
You certainly can't go wrong with a fresh installation. But even that doesn't always mean a good result.
I have jumped from Catalina to Monterey as well as from Monterey to Ventura via software update. This worked just as good here and from Monterey to Ventura even better than with a USB installation stick (clean or over an existing installation).
What I want to say is that from my point of view there is no general rule for a clean installation ...
