macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

[Riot Nrrrd]

I've never ever used Bluetooth mice and/or keyboards since 2008 starting using the Mac Pro 3.1. I'm really attached to any of my hardwired connections, even for my home network (UniFi) my Call of Duty is: can it be wired, just do it.

Just to be clear, my keyboard & mouse are wired.

Last night as a test, on another machine (Late 2012 Mac mini running Sonoma 14.7 via OCLP) I tried to “discover” a Bluetooth Magic Keyboard with fresh batteries installed.

Despite being right next to the computer the Bluetooth discovery in System Settings just sat there spinning and spinning … and eventually the system froze! I power-cycled it and it came back up saying it had panicked … guess it’s a good thing I got my wired keyboard working, it looks like Bluetooth is broken with this combo of system, Sonoma and OCLP. 🤷‍♂️

Apologies, misread / -interpreted your posts.

+1 for the wired (FTW) combo!

On my Mac Pro 5.1, Sonoma 14.7.3 updated to the Final Release 14.7.3 (Build 23H417) at last, patched with OCLP 1.5.0. For me, macOS Sonoma and OCLP 2.2.0 hasn't been a pleasant ride either.

Seems there is no KDK for this latest build, at least it did not download it. Perhaps an OCLP 1.5.0 / 2.2.0 issue as mentioned above in this thread?

See all the crashes of Bluetooth / WindowServer in my Console after final reboot into PRE-patched macOS Sonoma 14.7.3 Build 23H417 at 18H04:

This resulted in a constant re-login screen after each WindowServer crash and stalled mouse/keyboard, even hard wired:

After a 'few' re-login windows and crashes of WindowsServer (13) I was able to patch the new update with OCLP 1.5.0. Final result after patching macOS Sonoma 14.7.3 (Build 23H417)

Now I need to iron out the mismatch of the OCLP build:

Thanks for your input/remarks, and good luck mastering your macOS Sonoma 14.7.3!

Cheers

m4v3r1ck Yikes!!! That's a lot of crashes ...

I'm typing this on my 2012 Mac mini still running Sonoma 14.7 atm, I don't see any bluetoothd crashes even though the system panicked last night after trying to search for Bluetooth devices for awhile.

What do you mean by "mismatch of the OCLP build"? Do you mean the commit info being for 1.5.0 but your Booted Patcher Version is 2.2.0? Yeah, all of mine in the App -> Statistics window say 2.2.0.

Needless to say, I am nervous about touching this 2012 Mac mini after my experience with the Sonoma 14.7.3 update on the 2013 Mac Pro. I don't want to upgrade and have my keyboard & mouse stop working, and need to go buy another USB hub ...

Does anyone know when the next 2.30 build is going to be released?

I have a MacBook 2015 and the 2.30 night beta’s graphic performance is the best I have seen so far on Sonoma, but on occasion, power management still needs a little work (see spikes on CPU temps. on occasion (a second spike high every once in a while). Other than that, running well on the beta. Tempted to try Sequoia again as 2.2.0 and older versions did not do well.

Thanks Team for your hard work!!!

Absolute, the worst anomaly I encountered using OCLP since macOS Monterey.

Yes, exactly. I first noticed the difference after checking the tab App, after watching Mr. Macintosh latest OCLP video.

Needless to say, I am nervous about touching this 2012 Mac mini after my experience with the Sonoma 14.7.3 update on the 2013 Mac Pro. I don't want to upgrade and have my keyboard & mouse stop working, and need to go by another USB hub ...

I feel for you. Being nervous about any update is a no-go mood. I have had the same after my endeavor updating OCLP to 2.2.0 before updating macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 to 14.7.2. Specially now with the WindowsServer / Bluetooth crashes PRE-patching, this will be my last update for a while for now.

Again, thanks for your replies and enjoy your weekend.

I tried to update my 2012MBP from 15.2 to 15.3 inside Settings/standard "OTA" method, but that would just NOT work. I'd click on the Update Now button and it would just sit there. Went to work and came home and tried to click in more info and it would proceed to next screen I think then would start to download but just sit there all day. Really bad. I finally got tired of messing with it and just built a 15.3 stick and did it that way. Not sure what the issue is. Oh well. I might actually load Sonoma back on this thing. That seemed to be more responsive system wise. I repasted my 2015 MBP yesterday. Gonna do the 2012 now..

Well, after the 2012 15.3 update I noticed the BT had disabled itself. I enabled it on the menu bar and eventually it came back on and I connected my AirPods Pro 2 and used them fine. It kinda scared me cuz the first time I updated this thing OCLP1.5/Sequoia 15.0 I think, the BT disabled and would never come back, even after a Catalina reload. I ended up replacing the Airport card back then. Anyway this morning I then turned if off and re-pasted the CPU/GPU and fired it back up. BT disabled again in menu bar. Turned back on and the switch went blue but the symbol never did. I shut down. I'm gonna load Catalina back on it to see if that works. If it does, I might put Sonoma back on it and NOT Sequoia. If it still doesn't work, I'm not replacing the Airport card again.Wifi works so who cares I guess. This is just basically a desktop at this point anyway that only I play with.
