macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

[ksec]

The only solution found (Firefox) to bypass CloudFlare verification with an extra eye candy: Neptune Firefox >

Ran into CloudFlare verification issues. It seems as it currently stands after fair amount of testing.

CloudFlare verification does not work on Patched macOS with OpenCore Patcher. Orion, Safari Technology Preview, Safari Beta, and Safari itself wont work. All of these are on Webkit engine. I am on MBP Early 2015.

Chrome and Firefox works fine.

I cant seems to find much information on the internet. I assume because people are using Chrome on Desktop macOS? But if others could confirm I think this issue should be better known.

I can confirm that my non-metal macs (iMac12,1 and MBP8,2) have the Cloudflare verification issue, while my metal MBP14,2 works flawlessly. All run Safari 18.4.

Due to the problems I have described in my previous posts, I have now permanently returned to Sonoma in my internal 2TB SSD and have resumed working with my late 2013 27” i7 iMac (see my signature) as smoothly and stably in everything, as if it were a new Mac.

However, out of seriousness and intellectual honesty towards everyone and myself, I'm using an external drive with Sequoia to check if the new Sequoia’s 15.5 Beta and/or OCLP updates will allow me to achieve the same stability and proper functioning of everything as with Sonoma 14.7.5

So far, instead, even with the 15.5 beta, Preview doesn't work properly, AirPlay doesn't work properly, the fan starts up often and/or for a long time, the conversion of file graphics or CODEC manifest various issue and, in general, one feels that one is using a complex system that Apple now only conceives of as a function of Silicon CPUs and for the new and complex AI developments.

So, I wonder, what is the point of agreeing to act as a guinea pig?..., I am not a hamster.... 😂😂😂

Thank You. I was suspicious they are detecting some sort of WebGL / Graphics features. Wondering if you could also test https://world.org. ( A World Crypto started by OpenAI founder Sam Altman ) It is resulting in

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

And on Dev Console it is showing WebGL error.

I am trying my way to get this reported to Cloudflare.

P.S - Safari 18.4 is surprisingly fast on Sequoia compared to 17 on Monterey.

I've already received this warning with my MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur (without OCLP). I waited for the next application update (Amazon Prime Video) and the problem was gone...

yep. that's what I'm going to do as well. Wait for the next update. Prime video isn't something I use a lot on the computer, nor is any other streaming service, other than YouTube, but nice to have around if needed.

Sequoia runs very well on my MBP12,1 (early 2015 13" MBP), even the recent update to 15.4.1 went well. I can however not log in to my Apple /iCloud Account in System Preferences (I get an "unknown error"). Anyone else experiencing this?

I've seen that type of error on a couple of occasions on a 2012 rMBP10,1. Each time I rebooted and/or waited for a while before trying to log in to iCloud again. That worked for me.

I too have gone back to Sonoma 14.7.5 .

I will maybe try Sequoia again when the final version with security updates are added several months after Sequoia’s successor has been released???
