macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

Even after running sudo /bin/launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.softwareupdated attached is what I got. :rolleyes:

I just changed Macs from one that had the full up-to-date OS14 Sonoma beta installation to one with OS13 Ventura, and frankly can't see any worthwhile reason to 'upgrade' to Sonoma - the most recent Ventura version seems to have all the functions I need ... what am I missing?

MBP5,2: 13.6RC (22G109) installed OTA over 13.5.1 on internal SSD. Using latest OCLP main 069n (20Aug) for EFI and post-install patching. KDK from 13.5.1 is used as best match.
Resulting system works very well.
As always for USB1.1 machines, need external keyboard/mouse connected to USB via USB2 hub until post-install patches are applied which then enable internal keyboard and trackpad - this is for Ventura and Sonoma.

Thank you developers!

I can confirm that with OCLP 0.6.8, macOS Ventura 13.5 and the LED Cinema Display, in closed lid mode, also the MBP11,1 freezes after a while (never happened before) and must be forcedly shut down; while fortunately it still works connected to the display with the lid open: let’s hope this problem will be fixed soon…

I forgot to say that the problem is present on the MBP11,1 also with the lid open (as @iPlasm also previously said, for his machine), when the Cinema Display goes black (after the screensaver, with the default settings): a rather serious issue.

A temporary workaround is to disable display sleep (set to “Never”).

I've got macos 13.5.1 running on a late 2012 mac mini using the Opencore Legacy Patcher 0.6.8 and the issue I'm having is with the TV app. I can't get AppleTV+ to play programs or download them. Is this a known issue?

I’m using the patch over ( something) patch software to install Ventura on my MacBook Pro mid-2013 which is supported. It installs but gets stuck at Mac Updating Assistant. Gives me an error in downloading updates.
 
When you run Opencore Legacy Patcher 0.6.8 and choose "Create macOS installer," 13.6 was the only choice on my machine. It did work. I tried clicking on official telephone support and got Rickrolled though.

You need to provide actual details about your problem. Nobody can help you with what you’ve provided here.

Only kernel panics are fixed, not playing AppleTV+ content still persists…

My AppleTV+ was fixed with the installation of macOS 13.6 using 0.6.8 for what it's worth. Before installing 13.6 go to TV, Settings, Advanced, then Reset Warnings, Reset Cache, Clear Play History, Confirm Clear Play History and exit the program. That advice was what Apple Support said to try while I was still having the issue. It didn't work. But the TV app did work after the full install of 13.6.

This is expected, my last test system without upgraded WiFi/BT needs AMFI disabled or has to use the lastest AMFIPass. But you need BT4.x and the WiFi AC for most AirPlay features, at least AirPlay to Mac does only work this way.

AirPlay needs some more reverse engineering ... unfortunately the HD3000 with macOS drivers has been used to provide full functionality with High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina, but those drivers are completely incompatible with later macOS versions, in particular other metal GPU drivers - only once I was able to patch it back on Big Sur using a stock GPU.

Followed your advice, upgraded the wifi card to a BCM 94360CS on a 2011 27 inch Polaris iMac , upgraded to Ventura. So far Airplay - Video and Audio - works great, can even use an ATV3 as extended display. Very happy to finally move from Catalina

Hi!

This question is not exclusive for Ventura but for OCLP generally: Macs that had video acceleration (H264 etc) in High Sierra, seems to have lost it in OCLP that which increases the CPU a lot when watching videos. Is there a way to activate the video acceleration on these macs? I’m using a white Macbook 2010.
 
Hello,
I have an easy question. Does VMware Fusion (player) work with Ventura running thanks to OCLP on a Mid 2014 MacBook Pro?

Thanks for advising,
Daniele

Can you test if GPU based H.264 worked with dosdude1 patches Mojave or Catalina on your particular system?
The foundation for OCLP non metal patches has been created back in this time. If it did not work back with Mojave it will unlikely work on Big Sur and later.
