macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
I updated to MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 with the OCLP nightly 0.6.2n on a 2012 MacBook Air 11", i.e., MacBookAir,5.2. The key was to hold option key on every reboot to boot info OCLP EFI every time before choosing the MacOS install.

Everything seems to work fine so far. Previously this MacBook was on Catalina and the icloud support was buggy. Now it seems fine.

Yep, I have the same problem. Since this codec is increasingly used everywhere (including on the iPhone) it is very disabling. Hopefully the smart people behind OpenCore Legacy Patcher will come up with a solution. In the mean time, macOS Monterey remains my main OS (which plays the files without any problems).

Still no luck with HEVC? I am running the same setup on a 13,3. Did you ever try changing the SMBios to 14,3? Curious if mimicking a Kaby Lake CPU would address the issue as they are very close in architecture.

The last activity on RSR in this thread and in OCLP Github was on 10 Jan. The result at the time was that OCLP supports it for root-patched systems Haswell and newer, not before Haswell.

Just tried it nevertheless on my Penryn MBP5,2. It finds the update, loads it (in two portions) then can't install it, as was the case at earlier occasions. The system is patched with 062n (10 Feb).

Same with patches reverted.

Fair enough! The security response will be part of the next beta instead.

Hi, new to his group but I have ask this question on another tread I created looking for some help but I didn't get much of a response, probably because I posted in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to explain what my problem is and how or if it can be fixed.

Anyways, I have an iMac, 2011, i7, 8gb ram, 500gb ssd and an ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB. I installed Ventura with no issues, everything worked as it should, that is until I opened Safari and YouTube. When I open YT in normal window mode it works fine but when I expand it into fullscreen my graphics go crazy, so much so that the machine is unusable. I have ran the OpenCore patcher and patched the OS. I have run it a second time to make sure I have all the patches installed and it says I have. I used OCLP 0.6.1 initially for the installation but I encountered a KDK issue so I ran OCLP 0.6.2 which fixed that issue. Since I installed Ventura I have also done fresh installs of Monterey and Big Sur but I encounter the same issue with graphics freaking out on each install. I have tried FireFox to see if the browser was the issue but I have the same issue with that browser too.

Here is a link to the original post with a video showing the problem, hopefully I have done something wrong and it's an issue that I can fix.

Change your color settings of your display to unknown display or just display in the drop down list And try.

No luck unfortunately, tried them all and still having the same problem. Strange because it only happens in full screen mode. Going to try and install OCLP 0.4.11 and see if that works. I see some people posting that works perfect for Monterey and if I can get it working thats more than good enough for me. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll post an update here if it works.

Hello, with the same config and OCLP, I haven't this problem, full screen video is correct on Monterey And Ventura. I have just a pb, after a screen saver, the system freeze.
Test an other screen resolution , with

SwitchResX​

I do it to resolve pb ơn Catalina.

Just tried SwitchResX on a few different resolutions and no joy. Freaks out when I change resolution, exact same thing is happening as what is happening when I go to full screen mode on YT. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm willing to try anything within my capabilities to get it working. I have even reinstalled the Monterey using OCLP 0.4.11 but the problem still persists. My problem is I can't find anyone with the same problem, have searched google inside out with no joy.

Sorry for this, I think you have to change your graphic card.

No need to be sorry, was thinking the same thing myself. Something is telling me that my graphics card is faulty, it's the only explanation I can think of. Not to worry I had planed on upgrading it anyways so I suppose it's not a major problem. Only problem is I will have to upgrade to a 3 pipe heatsink as mine is only 2 so if I want to get anything half decent it looks like a will have to spend a few bucks.
 
Hi everyone!

Anyway, I have an old Macbook Pro 13 (mid-2012 model A1278), and I'm planning to upgrade everything to SSD 512 GB and RAM of 16 GB. I'm torn about updating the MacOS to Monterey or Ventura.

For my daily use, I'm looking forward to the ff:

1.) Office works (Hubspot, Slack, Viber, Google sheets)
2.) Internet Browsing
3.) A little bit of light gaming (Settlement Survival from Steam)

Also, I care a lot about the aesthetics of the desktop layout. I'm currently using a 2020 Acer Laptop which is very fast and efficient but I want to use my old macbook pro just to feel again the "premium" side of it.

Any recommendation is much appreciated!

Hi, I use the same computer with macOS Monterey and OCLP. You need to make sure that you always do post install patches after your first install and whenever you do any kind of update through system settings, but comparatively speaking, it runs macOS Monterey impeccably. This computer with OCLP runs macOS Monterey as well as my 2020 Intel MacBook Air.

The first year of Ventura‘s existence, there are a lot of teething and growing pains for both natively supported systems and systems using Ventura with OCLP. More likely than not, after about a year I’ll update our computer to Ventura, but I think that Monterey is the sweet spot for now.

first of all just want to give a shoutout to the MR community for being helpful over the years. I don't have a lot of time to visit these days with family, work, housework side hustle & now startup. and this is where my question comes in.

Fusion360 (which I use heavily for side hustles & startup) dropped support for Catalina. I am running a MP 4,1 -> 5,1 on Catalina, 5690s, a 580 card installed & NVMe SSD setup on the way.

Wanting to do this upgrade in one fell swoop (&maybe fix the broken USB port on the front depending on how hard that is) and looking into this OpenCore tweak to get whatever the most up-to-date OS feasible running on my early '09. By "feasible" I guess I mean "stable", as I mentioned, I am using this rig to get my startup off the ground and want to, of course, minimize issues.

The specific question I have is, since I am running the DosDude1 patcher for Catalina, is there any issue with going forward with Open Core to be able to install Big Sur, Monterey, or whatever the best, most stable option happens to be. From what I've read, DosDude1 has contributed to OpenCore, and since I am transitioning to a new, SSD startup disc I feel like it should be fine, but since I am more or less a novice at this I just wanted to double check with some peeps who know way more about this stuff than I do if there are any compatibility issues between the two.

If I should ask in a different thread please advise!

and wonder why OP got suspended? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The graphic card you have is non metal and though OCLP has allowed to make newer Os run on unsupported mac please realize the graphic card has very low memory and metal apps and graphics will not run well. You will get pixilation effects. So do not use in full screen mode if you still want to use newer OS. Cheers

Tonight I joined the Ventura 13.2.1 club! I had been running unsupported Monterey latest on this MacBook Air 6,1 (2013, i7) for some time now using OCLP, most recently 0.6.1.

The main Monterey weirdness I experienced was the Dock occasionally becoming unresponsive, which just needed a kickstart via Terminal. And Safari being a piece of crap overall, but I moved to the Technology Preview months ago to avoid using the regular version and it's been great.

Lately though, I'd been having trouble restarting (the process would stop at the background photo and sit there until a force restart). I also just started getting kernel panics today which pointed to some legacy software extension, so I manually deleted 3 gigs of old cruft extensions, prefs, support files, etc.

The last straw before I pulled the plug on Monterey was the Clock beginning to disappear from the menu bar repeatedly, and especially the infamous Hash Mismatch warning which popped up today (I hadn't seen that for a very long time) – seemingly invoked by my checking the Bluetooth status, as described elsewhere in these forums as a probable cause.

I had already downloaded the latest OCLP 0.6.2n so I first built it to my existing internal SSD, created the flash drive with it on this same system, and did the deed.

I only had to do one manual selection of the boot option (picking the installer) along the way, but without having to start over (the screen waited for my input). About 45 minutes all told, here I am, no root patching required ;-)

I'm already good with firmware updates due to booting into Big Sur awhile back from an external drive for that very purpose (I had otherwise only gone to Catalina on this system before jumping to Monterey).

I'll update this post if anything *bad* happens from here on out. OCLP makes this so easy...

(I'm a Mac admin in higher ed so I know supporting even official Macs is not always fun – the M series are even more difficult than usual in enterprise. Don't get me started about JAMF! I live by ARD as much as possible.)

Can install 13. 3 beta 1 and 2 and Rapid Security Response 13.3a on mid 2014 MacBook Pro just no graphic acceleration so not really any point to try but will install.

My 2009 Mac mini 3,1 is working fine with OCLP and Monterey. All hardware features are working. Wifi, ethernet, bluetooth. Can play H.265 movies on VLC player.

I have upgraded the old Hard disk with a crucial 250 SSD. It gets decent speed with 130MBps read, and 100 MBps write. Somehow it is not working at the supposed full speed of 1.5 Gbit.

Only issue I have is sometimes, a few hours after starting the system, it can't launch any apps. I have to log out and log in to launch apps.

I will wait for Ventura to get more support from OCLP before testing it out. Right now Monterey is working great.

The greate mistake using this SSD to upgrade MacMini 3.1. You should use Kingston A400 series SSD, that based on Phison chips and works on full speed 3gbit, also you can use Adata SU650 series SSD or other SSD based om SM2258XT chips.

Totally understand, even though I think I may have a faulty graphics card as I see other people with the same system specs and they claim it is working for them. I have the same problem in Ventura, Monterey and Big Sur so I fairly confident it's a hardware fault. Going to look into getting a higher spec card with Metal support and hopeful that should fix the issue. Thanks for you input though and I reckon you are right about my card, even though it may work, it's probably right on the limit for what I what it for so I'm probably better off replacing it instead of repeatedly beating my head of a wall.

Any recommendations on what I should be looking for, preferably as cheap and cheerful as possible. Btw I only have a 2 pipe heatsink and if possible I don't really want to go with the cost of replacing the heatsink as well.
