my 4,1 mac pro, does not have a wifi card installed...

I really hate the new system preference pane within MacOS, I really have to get used to it..

Hold command and drag it out. (or move it)

The new system preference is a mess!

Hey everyone, is live text working on a MacBook Air mid 2013?
I read on GitHub it's an issue but this Intel GPU wasn't listed, I am a noob so I am a bit confused.

https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1008

Screenshot 2023-10-27 at 02.34.32.png

Thank you for any help!🙏


Edit:
I found this GPU is a Haswell one and it says in the 0.6.7 change-log the issue is solved?

https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/tag/0.6.7

Re-enable mediaanalysisd on Ventura
  • Allows for Live Text support on systems with3802 GPUs
    • ie. Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell, Nvidia Kepler

But I don't know if my GPU is a 3802 GPU? can someone knowledgeable give an answer?
Thank you in advance!

As stated earlier, I installed Ventura to an empty High Sierra partition, while keeping my HS intact. Ventura now installed to disk.

Question: want to make a bootable backup using Super Duper where the target backup volume will be an empty APFS formatted volume located in HS. Is this doable, will this cause any problems?

Successfully installed Ventura to 21.5 iMac 12.2 (2011) with OPCL v1.1.0 - Super great!
iMac NOT refitted with Metal capable gfx card.

a) In Photos app after root patching, full screen pictures are displayed with a blank screen. Without root paching, the Picture shows normally. Any way to revert this behaviour? Tried to revert and reinstallering root matches, which did nothing.

b) Is it possible to disable/block the Sonoma update Notification? Im not gonna further update this particular machine.
There's a "Disable app update" feature in OCLP, but I suppose thats for the OPCL app. Or..?

Thanks for any help in advance.

You might try @jowaju 's suggestion starting here. You would need to manually modify the Open Core config.plist, which means you would need to manually re-apply the change any time you use OCLP to "Build and Install Open Core."

EDIT: Read the initial post and then my subsequent questions and the responses.

Help needed: Right now in deep ****. Ran the 13.6.1 update which appeared to finish successfully, was next brought to screen asking to install several root patches - but as bluetooth mouse wasn't working properly at that moment, needed to get wired mouse, and after short delay getting mouse, lost opportunity to apply the patches.

Now when I get to the lock screen, which appears normal, after selecting user and being prompted for password, key presses from USB keyboard, which works fine elsewhere, do absolutely nothing. Have done any number of restarts, including safe boot + PRAM and SMC resets to no avail. So completely unable to login.

If it's an issue with the root patches, is there some way to apply them from the USB installer? Or if not the root patches, any suggestions?

Keyboard connected directly to USB 2.0 port on iMac 10,1. Was working fine until update.

EDIT: thanks, that was actually the solution. Didn't realize that the 4 port USB hub which I've been using for ages is in fact a 2.0. Connected the KB to it and voila, was able to login. Next ran the needed patches, and now everything seems to be back to normal. ...

Except that for the time when I was running the patches, and before the needed restart, I actually had a normal looking menubar. White, reasonably thick and separated quite distinctly from the Desktop background. I thought that was going to last. Unfortunately, after the restart it's back to the thin, undifferentiated greyed out menubar I've been complaining about since I started this project. Wish I could find some way to get that back again.

My early 2013 mbp (10,1) cannot properly Airplay video and/or screen mirror/extend to any generation 4k Apple TV. Wireless or ethernet: no joy.

However, it works perfectly with my 2016 Roku Premiere+ box.

Other than that quirk, my laptop works beautifully.

Just a thought: Have you tried changing the menu settings under "Non-Metal Configuration" (->"Root Patching")?

For macOS Sonoma, is Safari Version 17.1 included in the full-installer (InstallAssistant.pkg)


Which build is the latest Safari Sonoma Version 17.1 (?) ?

Thanks

Hi @camelia

You are not on the right thread to post your question...
To answer your question I confirm what @INK1 said,
Safari 17.1 is contained in the installation package, after checking its contents it seems to be version 19616.2.9.11.7

Thanks. What would you suggest trying there?


(Apologies for the blurry screenshot -- original looks sharp enough)

EDIT: just tried a number of them. Only one that has any effect is dark menubar, which helps a little for visibility.
