macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

[davidlv]

good evening I installed 13.4.1 on a mac pro 4.1 flashed in 5.1 with open core 0.6.7 and since then I no longer have a keyboard no mouse that works how can I redo them function. THANKS

Try connecting a USB 2 hub, and a wired keyboard and mouse.
After running the post install root patches, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard should be functional.
You might want to search this forum for bluetooth mouse and keyboard , as there have been many posts about that.

Finally gave up on Ventura 13.4.1 at the weekend and rolled back to Monterey, Ventura just doesn't play nice with my Nvidia 780 in my late 2013 iMac. I found my Nest camera video would only work in Safari but garbled in chrome and firefox. FaceTime would frequently cause havoc with the dreaded triangle with exclamation mark, despite the machine being hardwired to gigabit. I guess I'll be saving up for a new machine in the future. No complaints about OCLP though, it has definitely extended the lifespan of a decade old machine but it's just struggling with the basics now.

Just to add everything now functions as it should under Monterey.

No problems with old episodes on my MM7,1 and Ventura 13,5 beta. With vpn connection to USA also new episodes will be played - so no MORE restrictions on Apple TV.

Much thanks for your observation but I prefer that Mr. Grymalyuk and team fix the bugs in their hack, rather than a user having to add a new monthly charge into their budget. FWIW

Thanks for sharing this.

As I’ve posted you don’t need to use a vpn if you just change the region in the config.plist works for me just have to change it everytime you update opencore.

Question - I've looked around for the answer but haven't found it - is it ok to install Apple update 13.4.1 as would usually? Any extra steps to ensure smooth update, or just let it get on with it? Apols if this is a dumb question.

V impressed to be running Ventura so well on a MBP 9,2 i7 very smoothly for a couple of months now.

Couple of hiccups at first with stalled boot, resetting NVRAM was necessary for the first few boots to work. Running High Sierra on 2nd hd seemed to create these issues, but they soon vanished as did running a little warmer than usual - 65-75C - but settled back to usual 50.

If OCLP works on your present hardware and Ventura 13.4 now, the update to 13.4.1 should be easy, but you will most likely need to run the post install root patches again.
You didn't say what OS you were currently running, or the OCLP version, "couple of months ago" could be 13.2.1 or even older. Are you aware of the AMFIPass beta?

Hello everybody! I have a question. Is that possible to have Monterey and Ventura on a single ssd. I have 13-inch MBP 2015, it supports Monterey, but not Ventura. How I can do that? any instructions? thank you in advance!

First, do you have enough space say 60GB, free on your SSD? You can use Disk Utility to make another volume in order to install Ventura.
Then get the Ventura Installer;

Looking to some file creation dates, it's more like a month ago and it's running 13.4 (beautifully!)

That's very helpful, thanks for the fast reply.

...worked very smoothly, the oclp reminder popped up that the OS was running without the patches, so downloaded them, advised restart - all sorted.

#6,415?

Yes .
Mount efi.
Edit config.plist with OpenCore Configurator
Click device properties
Change region e.g. USA
Save
Reboot.
Try Apple TV.
Keep your working config just in case so you can just copy back if things go wrong.
Repeat process when you update Opencore several people I messaged on the forum to test for me had zero issues with Apple TV after this , obviously Opencore team would be better to see if there’s a more permanent fix but only matters when you update really and have to do it again.

hello, how can I completely disable SIP on Mac with OCLP? I need to run some apps like diskdrill which now seems to stop working… from csrutil status I see that SIP is not completely deactivated and some entries are active… obviously the Mac does not start in recovery mode because there is no partition, with command+r so launch recovery from web. is there no problem if a Mac with OCLP disables all SIP ?

 

[StormLord]

Anyone knows why on Ventura 13.4 (OCLP 0.67) my GFX HD7970 (R9-280x) pumping the fans when I'm just browsing? Especially if I play a YouTube video?
on GPU monitor it shows activity on the GPU core

Basically you go into Opencore Patcher app -> Settings -> Security and check the boxes at the bottom, rebuild and install.

Are you sure there is no recovery partition? I have OCLP installed on an iMac 15,1 from 2014 and it has a recovery partition (come to think of it I haven't tried to boot from that for years).
You can disable SIP in the settings in OCLP and reBuild and Install to disk.

ok it works going to setting > security and checking the boxes and then reinstalling opencore...

yes I'm sure there is no recovery partition... I reinstalled Ventura starting from the formatted disk about 1 month ago and starting my iMac with the alt key I see 2 partitions, iMac (the name of my startup disk) and EFI... clicking on efi immediately starts all macos... I don't have a recovery partition... I don't know

I attempted an update of my 2011 Mac mini i7 with High Sierra installed. I followed the instructions for downloading and preparing an install of Monterey. I elected to leave High Sierra in place and not do a clean install.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. It spent most of the time on a black screen with the Apple logo and the "Time remaining..." in white text. After the countdown completed and it rebooted from this, it seems to be stuck in a reboot loop now. It did not try to boot from the drive with Monterey installed, it keeps trying to boot from USB stick instead.

When I select to correct drive using the boot menu, I am then greeted with white circle with a line through it. . I trust something simply went wrong or perhaps it did not like that an old system was installed.

I could try a clean install next but wanted to see if this is a known issue. I am using OCLP 0.6.7.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. Please delete.

Finally!!! I had this too, and wondered that nobody else is having those issues. However it resolved magically „by itself“ recently. Things the might help: NVRAM reset during OCLP boot, install latest OCLP and macOS releases. Do you also have two volumes (Monterey/Ventura) on one Partition?

No, I erased the drive and did a clean install

From the OCLP instructions:

How to Boot Recovery through OpenCore Legacy Patcher​

By default, the patcher will try to hide extra boot options such as recovery from the user. To make them appear, simply press the Spacebar key while inside OpenCore's Picker to list all boot options.

General troubleshooting | OpenCore Legacy Patcher

So you may actually have a recovery partition, but you will rarely need to use it.

MBP4,1 Early 2008 on Ventura 13.3.1 by OCLP 0.6.7.
Out of nowhere, the optical drive started spinning and does not stop.
How can this be solved?
