How does 0.6.5 "play" with 13.4?
 
via OCLP as well:

Hey all, this question isn't Ventura, or OCLP specific. When I applied the 12.6.6 and Safari 16.5 updates today to my Late 2015, 27" iMac, the Safari icon was removed from my Dock. I was just curious if this was supposed to happen as it's never happened before. I was able to put safari back in the dock easy enough, and it hasn't disappeared again. I was just wondering why it did after the update. I didn't remove it, and after it was removed, the App itself was in /Applications.

Just thought I'd throw that out there, in case anyone else had that happen as well.

Apple has now fixed the error and now 22F66 is offered. It's only my third download...🙈

Did you actually get 22F66? I downloaded the installer pkg file from Mr. ... just now and when trying to use it with OCLP to create a USB installer it says "22F59" in the Use existing Installer window.
Not sure if that info is correct or a glitch in the build info reporting.
 
My upgrade from 13.3.1 (not RSR 13.3.1a) to 13.4 on my MBP6,2 (NVidia Tesla) using OTA was flawless. I started with 13.3.1 patched with OCLP 0.6.6n (17 May 2023) and was notified automatically about the existing 13.4 upgrade. I downloaded the upgrade through normal Apple OTA channels (didn't need a separate website or download link). The only minor issue was that Open Core 0.9.2 did not automatically choose "Install macOS" to boot after the first macOS installer reboot. I needed to manually select "Install macOS" from the OC boot picker. After the installation, OCLP automatically prompted me to re-install root patches. So far, 13.4 seems to run as well as 13.3.1 on my MBP6,2.

Upgrade also from Ventura 13.3.1 to 13.4 on a MacMini 2012 quad-core running OCLP 0.6.5 performed without a hitch.

Using OEM 256 GB Apple SSD.

On reboot, OCLP immediately notified that boot patches were necessary, they were installed and machine rebooted and worked perfectly.

First, tried downloading the installer.pkg file from Mr. Macintosh's site, but when trying to use it with OCLP 0.6.6n to create a USB installer it says "22F59" (the real 13.4 version is build 22F66) in the Use Existing Installer window. Still not sure if that info is correct or a glitch in the build info reporting. Next tried using OCLP to download the install macOS, and I get the same "22F59"! Apple's servers are in error or the OCLP app doesn't read the build # correctly.
In either case, that makes for uncertainty!

OCLP066n/13.4 has serious issues with AppleTV. :oops:
Click to expand...
I can confirm AppleTV on OCLP 0.6.6n May 18 on macOS 13.3.1(a) hung my MP 6,1. The good news, Power Management appears to be working much better. Core 1 is not running 100% anymore.

BIG Thanks. I do as what you told me but it won't work. Still couldn't boot the machine. I'm afraid it's because the OCLP 0.5.xx version postpatcher installed on the Ventura drive and got problems when I try to boot it. HOW can I uninstall these patchers from the drive with my machine can't booting. Or is there any way that I can install OCLP 0.6.5 post-patchers to the Ventura drive?

I'm kinda lost the context because our conversation seemed to be merged to a big thread.

Make sure you have a backup before trying:

  1. create a USB Ventura installer, the Ventura version shall be the same or newer
  2. install OCLP to the same USB drive
  3. boot with holding option key, select OpenCore on the USB drive (not the one on your Mac), then select Ventura installer on the USB
  4. install Ventura to your Macintosh HD, that should overwrite any existing system data, effectively reverting the patch
 
I installed MacOS 13.4 and made OCLP 0.6.5 post patches as automatically requested. No obvious issues so far. Youtube videos play, AppleTV trailers and my purchased movies work, Parallels 18 and my W10 VM work. Looks promising...

Still 22F59 after tried 3 different sources including OCLP, gibMacOS, and Apple. It seems some caches on the server / Internet have not been updated: will wait for a day or so.

Just to make things even more mysterious, I used that "22F59" download to install Ventura on an empty SSD I had, and after the install, the installed Ventura version was 22F66. So I assume that the OCLP app is misreading the build version or the Apple installer file has mistaken info in the build.
In any case, your idea of waiting a while may be the best indeed.
My two Macs have 22F66 installed anyway (actually RC3), I just need a Ventura USB installer for the iMac 15,1, which is OCLP dependent, in case the system goes south.
 
I dropped out of this thread for a while as it looked like Ventura wasn't quite ready for my old late 2011 MBA 4,2 currently doing fabulous on Monterey. Non-Metal

Wondering if anyone has the same machine on Monterey and how the experience is now?

Can you confirm if AMFI is enable? Because I read that the problem with Parallels was if AMFI is enable
 
I would like to report my success in updating both rMBP 2014 and mid-2011 iMac to 13.4 using OCLP 0.6.5. But Im still unable to connect my AirPods Pro 2 to my iMac... no such problem with rMBP. Anyone here who encounters such issue and possible fix, if there are any. Thanks!

I tried booting to High Sierra with and without OCLP, no connection issue. This shows that this is not an OCLP issue but an issue with Ventura. I have not tested in Mojave-Monterey.
