macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

[algernonpule]

Hello,
I have tried with Tunneblick but I will not open the window to load the VPN configuration file and when clicked on VPN details it freezes.

Then when you click on add VPN, nothing happens. If a double click on vpn configuration file or select open with Tunnelblick, nothing happens.

Any idea to help me solve this? Thanks.

Don't know if this helps, but I had the same problem with the PrivadoVPN app. Eventually solved it by booting in Safe Mode, which let me launch the app, put in my credentials, and connect. I then rebooted in normal mode, and the app worked fine.

In the Pages application: when trying to import images by dragging from the desktop or using the Media menu item, the application crashes

Did you find a solution to this?

So I updated my used iMac 13,1 to Ventura 13.6.1 and all is going well.
However, I’m on Safari 16.6 instead of 17.1 or later. Do I download and install from Mr Macintosh’s site and simply install or will this create other problems or challenges?

As I was writing this I received an update for Safari….can this be updated as a stand alone? Do I have to install patches again?

Safari is supposed to upgrade without any action.
Look for software updates in system settings

It’s in the update try…do I simply hit “update”?

last thing to do is Avx2 instructions on Imac 13.2 PreHaswell they said they will include EMULATOR SO COMMON OCLp

this wil help solve like @shmasser user said

1. Import images to pages
2. Face recognition in photos
3. Live text (text recognition on images)
4. Apps download speed


Avx2 will fix these issue on older Macs Machines

Are you saying the OCLP team is on this? Doesn't seem to be integrated in the last version 1.2.1.

Try v.1.3.0n 🧐

Which of these commits in 1.3.0n includes the AVX2 emulation?

Although that model iMac is not cited specifically, it is likely included in
sys_patch: Expand 32023 patching for 14.2 Beta 2+. Won't know until tried? 🤷‍♂️

OK. I examined the commits and don't see it, but it will be interesting to see if 1.3.0n solves the OP's problem.

Slow as molasses, but still amazing that my MBP6,2 with Ventura 13.6.1 runs Visual Studio 2022 with Xamarin cross-platform development to build apps for iOS and Android. The entire build process is slow but flawless.

EDIT: Using Xcode 15.1 RC.

As far as I understand, this shortcoming will not be eliminated within Ventura. The developers are currently working on Sonoma. ...and are unlikely to return to Ventura

Where did you get your information regarding this?? 🤨 Please be specific.

Your supposition is illogical. Later versions of OCLP can effect more than one version of macOS since changes are hardware specific.

 

[shmasser]

Of course it can. But at the same time, later corrections may introduce some undesirable defects into Ventura, the negative consequences of which offset the positive effect.
I already installed OCLP 1.01 and was back to 0.68.
I think that it is optimal for Ventura, and later versions are intended for Sonoma...

 

[K two]

As a matter of fact, as seen in the sig, the lastest version of Ventura (13.6.3RC) runs perfectly on OCLP v.1.3.0n which contains significant changes effecting your specific iMac. Another fact, not a supposition. 😉 In addition, to dispel other suppositions, this Mini boots the current releases of three fully-supported macOS and two unsupported macOS versions with the OCLP v.1.3.0n EFI w/ absolutely NO issues, whatsoever.

 

[shmasser]

It seems like 13.6.3 is for the M1(?) processor, but I would be very happy if sleep mode, graphic artifacts and the mentioned defect in importing Pages and Notes images were fixed. Can you confirm this? As far as I see, you have different models.

 

[K two]

The comments reflect only the Mini7,1, 13.6.3RC came OTA atop 13.5.1. So again, you are mistaken.

 

[K two]

macOS 13.6.3 release full installer is now available via OTA, GIB and Discord. So is OCLP v.1.3.0 final from GITHUB.

You have won, O Galilean!

Not a zealot, nor live anywhere near Gallilee. Strange choice of words. Facts matter, my point. 🧐

macOS 13.6.3 OTA, OCLP v.1.3.0. Update installed normally, all apps intact, Mini runs as expected. 😎
👏

macOS 13.6.3 OTA

Excuse my ignorance regarding OTA, do you mean you installed via System Settings> General > Software Update?

Yes. Along with yet another Safari. A separate OTA.
