I can't really test it if it won't let me install OC the button is greyed out, same thing also on my Probook which I already have OCLP 0.6.6
@chris1111 - not sure if this helps you, could it be that you are choosing an SMBIOS model that OCLP doesn't think needs to be patched (OCLP is detecting your hack as iMac18,3)? When I run OCLP 0.6.6, I don't see any SMBIOS models after iMac17,1. Just to test, if you choose iMac17,1, is the button still greyed out?

Has anybody successfully done an OTA upgrade to 13.4 on a MacBook Air 7,2 currently running Ventura 13.2.1 with OCLP 0.6.6?

Not yet but I have an i7 MBA 6,1 running 13.2.1 and I've been waiting for 13.4 and the OCLP 0.6.6 release. Now that we're here, building my flash drive with a previously downloaded 13.4 installer (via OCLP) has failed a few times (with different 16/32GB sticks, including one I recently successfully used to install Linux on a 2008 MBP).

So, next I will try building and installing Open Core with 0.6.6 and using the local full installer or doing an OTA update to 13.4. Unless somebody stops me before then ;-)

UPDATE: I'm back, running 13.4! I used the full installer placed into the Applications folder (acquired from an earlier OCLP download on a different supported computer) and ran post-install patches to restore my external monitor. So far so good, the latest Photoshop update launched and ran, audio editing works, etc.

I decided not to mess with VMs on this computer any more, so VMWare and VirtualBox have not been tested. I have Linux running on a 2008 MBP and if I need Windows I will use some PC... I have one in my office ;-)

AppleTV+ issues with OCLP 0.6.6 and Ventura 13.4 on macbookpro9,1 15"
New titles don't play. some of the olds playing normal.
Thanks @izfernando! This is one of the reasons why I still stay on Ventura 13.2.1 with my iMac 14,2
Can you please try again after installing OCLP 0.6.6 official and then "AMFI PASS" Beta? Maybe it solves the problem… Hopefully…
Let us know, thanks

I can't really test it if it won't let me install OC the button is greyed out, same thing also on my Probook which I already have OCLP 0.6.6

Press “settings
In “Target Model” select MacBookPro11,1
In “SMBIOS” section set SMBIOS Spoof Level as “Advanced”
Set SMBIOS Spoof Model as MacBookPro14,1
Press “Generate S/N MacBookPro11,1 and then return main page
Now you can see “Build and Install OpenCore” is active.
 
Macbook Mid 2014 15 inch with Nvidia 750m , MacOS 13.3.1(a)

updating from 0.6.5 to 0.6.6 made a big difference in the stability of the system for me.

I see big improvement in handling the dynamic switch between the gpus and the work of the dgpu , I had problems until 0.6.6.
this update looks very promising.

I didn't find anything in the change log that explain this big improvement.

the new gui is very nice also .

I'm having a original ssd and the S.M.A.R.T status says its falling , so I'm gonna replace it soon with NVME ssd and I'm looking forward to patch the system with opencore when the new ssd arrive .

I've to give a huge respect to the developers behind this project , thank you very much .
 
0.6.6 + AMFI PASS beta seems to have solved the repeated sudden rebooting while MBA 7,2 (running 13.2.1) sleeping with top closed and when waking from sleep. Thank you.
MBA7,2 should have a broadwell chip set so never need checked disable AMFI.
 
Finally now also "Continuity Camera" works perfectly and stably in my iMac!
I specify that I am deliberately stuck on macOS Ventura 13.2.1 as my iMac has been stable for months and everything was working except the "Continuity Camera" so far.

HERE'S HOW I PROCEEDED by following these directions from the great @dhinakg ->
https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/tag/amfipass-beta-test
1) I have installed OCLP 0.6.7 Nightly
I rebooted to press Option on Going and activate EFIBoot
2) I have installed the Post Install Patch
I rebooted
3) I have installed OCLP 0.6.7 AMFI PASS BETA2
I rebooted to press Option on Going and activate EFIBoot
Enjoy

[Note: obviously to activate also "Live Text" and "Remove Background" I always have to resort to the trick I explained in my previous posts, even with attached images]

Also congratulate the OCLP developers by making a small request to them: if possible, when in the new OCLP interface an option to enter "auto" or "none" in NVRAM settings, instead of "media", will be added to be enable "Live Text" and "Remove Background " on Macs where this causes no problems? For example my iMac 14,2 27" late 2013 CPU i7 and nVidia GTX780M 4GB that works perfectly and almost like an a iMac Intel 2020-2021... (hardware limitations aside, of course)
Thank you

Before upgrading to Ventura 13.4 , I'm waiting for other users to confirm that all AppleTV+ Series, old and new, work in and not just the old ones. Thanks if some friend will give this confirmation about macOS 13.4 with OCLP 0.6.7N (or 0.6.6) + OCLP AMFIPASS Beta and AppleTV+

Don't know about that but 13.2.1 with 0.6.5 in default settings was a disaster on MBA 7,2 with continuing rebooting/ Updating to 0.6.6, root patching and AMFI PASS beta fixed it. But maybe 0.6.6 alone would have done the job too.

I have already test this it does not work
thanks anyway
 
MBP11,3: everything works, with the latest 0.6.7 AMFIPass Public Beta Test version (great GUI, BTW: very much improved!); Apple Hypervisor and macOS guest VMs work again, both in Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion (haven’t yet tried VirtualBox: but of course it, too, should work). A great advancement! And if we could eventually run also Ventura with a 0x800 SIP setting (only SSV disabled) or even 0x0 (everything enabled), that would be absolutely great: in due time, of course… :cool::)

(Edit: AppleTV+ movies don’t seem to work reliably: the movie starts, sometimes plays a little, but then returns to the initial screen; the same if you retry. Don’t know the cause… And Continuity Camera still freezes in FaceTime: I have an iPhone XS Max, so in theory it should work; but in practice, it doesn’t.)

(Edit 2: AppleTV+ shows now start and work correctly: I only rebooted, so perhaps that cured the problem. Continuity Camera still freezes in FaceTime, however.)

(Edit 3: Forgot to say that dragging and dropping documents such as PDFs and JPGs into a Pages window works correctly…)

Strange. I, too, have a hack. When I select my SMBIOS model on the Settings screen (don't leave as "Host Model")

The button is no longer gray for me

Going with the readme first point on the beta test
•You must be building OpenCore on the host (so you cannot be building the EFI for another device)
So it may be disabled when picking yourself on purpose for the test being in beta creating to many issues or at least that’s how I read it as OCLP will automatically pick for you.
Update : this is not correct see a few posts below for explanation.

ATV new series crash on my broadwell MBA 7,2 oclp 0.67n and haswell MM 7,1 late 2014 oclp amfib2. Both with 13.5b1. Old series work.

In some hack's the smbios is displayed correctly. In others is the name of motherboard or OEM name.
In my Probook 4540s, Ventura 13.5, patch rooted, AMFI and Library Validation are enabled! Thanx a lot, dev's! I'll report about other 3 legacy MBP and a few legacy hack's.
