Suggestions?

1. Do nothing, be patient and wait for a fix.
2. Get an officially supported Mac.
3. Connect via Ethernet to a WiFi router (AirPort Express perhaps?) locally that can connect to that network until a fix is available.
4. Go offline and take holidays. ;)
Yeah, but in the second to latest commit, it says that WPA Enterprise networks were fixed.

The 24 Sept. version is now available, here. Have not installed, as yet. Thanks for the heads-up. :cool:
I don't understand the date & time difference in the OCLP versions we are seeing. I just checked today, on the 26th Japan time, and the latest Sonoma branch version is still 9-25-2023, 4:23 am, yet you said it was dated 9-24?
Maybe that is location dependent? Where are you you located?

yeah maybe it is already fix but I guess the patch for that issue still not implemented or mergeon the nightly build (im not sure). you have two options try to redownload it again the nightly build or wait until October 2 for the official release

Updated to the latest version of OCLP 0.6.9n, yet WPA Enterprise Wifi doesn't work still. Any suggestions?
Did you revert the root patches and reboot before re-applying the root patches? This did the trick for me (iMac 15,1). Just applying the root patches without reverting did not work.

in my opinion we shouldn’t be using nightlys as full releases of OCLP . Nightlys are exactly that , full releases are more detailed in what changes/fixes are listed when posted on the release page.

Not sure I agree. If the nightly has the feature you need to test, then not really much choice. I do agree that the nightly shouldn't be used in a production environment. I still use 0.6.8 in my production volumes (which are not Sonoma).

Then you do agree that is what I meant don’t treat it as a full version , test it yes don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work.

No, I don't agree. It's a full version. When I build OCLP from the latest source, it has full functionality.

I quote

Warning: Nightly builds (untagged builds built from the latest commit) are actively developed OpenCore Legacy Patcher builds. These builds have not been tested, are not guaranteed to work, and are not guaranteed to be safe. Do not use nightlies without a good reason to do so, and do not use them on your main machine. Additionally, these binaries should not be used without first consulting the CHANGELOG.

Which is what I refer to but each there own as I said my opinion got nothing else to do with it and the way I read it.

@TOM1211 Yup. Agree with everything you quoted. Still a full version. If any of us don't realize that we're taking risks and there are no guarantees, then we probably shouldn't be testing Beta macOS with Beta OCLP.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be difficult, but isn't it a little late in the game to be realizing that nightly changes still need to be tested?

Ventura is now the minimum requirement for Final Cut Pro...

I have never purchased Final Cut Pro... Is it worth upgrading MacBook Pro 2015 to Ventura/Sonoma using OCLP?

Personally I wouldn’t update beyond Monterey on my main device, as it is still perfectly supported by almost all software and will receive security updates for at least one more year. However, there is not really any other argument against that, Ventura is running very smooth on unsupported machines compared to supported ones, but in my experience Monterey is a bit more stable in general. But if you would update to Ventura on a supported machine anyway, then just do it on your MBP 2015. There really are no downsides compared to supported ones.

Agree with @macOS XP . I don't have a MBP2015 running Final Cut in Ventura/Sonoma, so I can't comment on specifics, but it should be noted that there are no guarantees that an app will run without issues on an unsupported Mac that has been upgraded to a newer macOS.

The only apps that force users to upgrade their OS are Apple ones when they decide to quickly drop OS support:
- FCPX
- Xcode
- all the apps that have deep iCloud integration (Photos, Notes ...)
Monterey is still perfectly fine, but if you want to use Apple updated apps, you need to upgrade.
To support iOS17/watchOS10, I need Xcode 15, so at least Ventura 13.5 ...

At first I didn't revert, so then I tried reverting first, it still doesn't work.

Heads up, Blender 3.6.4 released today, and works without issues. Just tested it on Ventura.
I'm sure it works on Monterey too.
EDIT: Yes, works in Monterey as well. So, I have found it to work on Ventura, and Monterey.

Out of curiosity, not a problem, but perhaps someone has a quick fix for this one:

Most widgets on this MBP show as completely blank. This is one exists since Ventura. Issue can be reproduced in freshly installed system and a new user, in both light and dark mode. Maybe it's unique to this MacBook 9,2?
this is happening to me on iMac 16,2 with Intel Broadwell. Has anyone found a solution on it?? I tried to revert root patches and install them again. But with no luck

What are your steps for reverting and re-applying OCLP post-install patches? How have you confirmed that your OCLP includes the required WPA Enterprise commit?

EDIT: Not doubting you - just want more detail to understand what's going on.
No worries. I basically open up OCLP, go to post install root patches, press revert root patches, then after it's finished, I restart. I made sure I have the latest commit from the date modified, which for me, is September 24, 2023 at 10:23 PM.
EDIT: It seems that there are several new commits being made to 0.6.9n at the moment. I'll have to check those out.

In the meanwhile it was noted as known issue which could be fixed in a future release.

I have actually never had problems with apps that have deep iCloud integration, like photos or notes. I'm currently using Catalina as my main system, everything works as it should, no problems at all. I also have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 (no downgrade, no jailbreak), almost all iCloud services are working there as well, like shared albums, Game Center or synced contacts across all devices (minus App Store and iTunes Store, which was sadly shut down a few months ago for iOS 6 and below).

I mean of course, Apple is trying to push users to update and refusing to let them downgrade their iPhones and iPads, but I really can't complain about how long they keep their services fully working on old OSs. Also, you can download older versions of all Apple software that requires newer versions, if you have previously downloaded them, which is enough for most normal users.

Updated macOS Sonoma 14.0 RC on MacBook Air 2012, we are still having problems with copying data to external HD in NTFS format using third-party tools for writing/reading, it is taking 4 days to transfer 11GB from the internal SSD to the external HDD.
