macOS High Sierra (10.13) Unsupported Macs Thread

[seanmccoye]

Update:

For grins I did a time machine reinstall. Slightly unsmooth but it worked.
As for macports xcode 9.4.1 seems to play nicer than 10.1.

Or go forward and use a Magic Trackpad (BT) or a mouse instead.

Good thing I stopped over here, as I'm now on Mojave.

But last year I was on HS, on a mid-2009 Macbook5,2, like you. And my trackpad worked (mostly).

As I recall it, rather late in the game @dosdude1 backported a Mojave trackpad patch for HS. It doesn't appear on his boot installer usb, but as long as you installed the Patch Updater app, the trackpad patch should show up in the Updater app so it can be installed. (The app should be in /Applications/Utilities.)

Like the patch for Mojave, it's not perfect. You can move the mouse cursor, and tap-to-click, but two-finger-tap-to-right-click doesn't work, so you need to ctrl-tap. The 5,2 trackpad hardware never supported swipes or three-finger-taps, btw.

Still, it's better than nothing. Think of the trackpad as an old-fashioned one-button mouse. (Yes, I'm old.)

hi, anyone else experienced high fan speeds and high temperature after the install? I just did a clean SSD install on Mid-2009 MBP, and right after it boots up - the fans go crazy and laptop gets really hot. Tried restarting, SMC/PRAM resets, nothing seems to work...

You may find the cause in your Activity Monitor.

You may find the cause in your Activity Monitor.

nothing stands out there, keeps showing different apps running high CPU (firefox, once i force quit it, something else pops up (some random spotlight, MRT, Calendar or other system process)

Check Apple Hardware Test to make sure one of the sensors is not defective/unplugged.

There are a few issues that I have , maybe someone can help .
I did a lot of research to figure it out , but to no avail .

Namely my High Sierra Install on an MP 3.1 with a Radeon 5770 GPU shows partly red pages in Preview, and it doesn't wake up from sleep ( HHD spins up , screen stays black ).
Thats been discussed before, I know, but what baffles me is that when I start and run the Mac in Safe Mode - both issues are gone !

Here's what I did :

- Cloned the High Sierra system from my MP 5.1 to an HDD#1 , using CCC ( Carbon Copy Cloner )
- created a macOS High Sierra Patcher (2.7.0) disk on a partition on that same HDD#1
- installed that HDD in my MP 3.1
- started from the High Sierra Patcher disk partition and patched the High Sierra system disk .
- the patched High Sierra system I then cloned with CCC to a different HDD#2 on that MP 3.1 .
- removed the original disk HDD#1, booted from HDD#2

It all worked without any trouble, apart from the above mentioned sleep and preview red rendering issues .

I also did SMC and Pram resets, patched HDD#2 again, with and without forded cache rebuild, did the 'sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel' thing in Terminal , and reloaded the AMD fix with the patch updater .

But as I said, only in safe mode do I not have the sleep and preview red color issue - so in general my install can work fine despite the often mentioned Radeon 5770 troubles .

The one thing I didn't do - I didn't use the High Sierra Patcher to actually install High Sierra , I only patched an existing clone of my system from the MP 5.1 .

Should I do a new install with High Sierra Patcher over the existing sytem - if that's even possible, or do a clean intall with High Sierra Patcher and use migration assistant for the rest of the files etc. from my old HS system ?

Any ideas ?

 

[barmann]

Well, I think I went through all the possible ways to install , tweak and repair the High Sierra install on my MP 3.1 .

Which confirmed what all the postings said which I managed to find , in this thread and elsewhere - the Radeon 5770/MP 3.1/HS combo doesn't fully work ... It doesn't wake from sleep and preview is showing a lot of red .

Apart from that, in the end it was pretty smooth sailing .
I eventually ended up with my original configuration, simply using the patcher on a CCC clone copied from my MP 5.1 HS system .
No real testing was done yet, the old MP 3.1 is just a backup , but no issues so far apart from the above mentioned .

Many thanks to dosdude for his work, it's a great tool .

Yes there is. Parrotgeek found the fix over a year ago, I helped him out a bit testing the 10.11 trackpadprefpane in highsierra and mojave. You have to reopen it in settings every time you reboot. there was a permanent fix but I've forgotten, I had to fish this file out of ancient discord dms. Just launch it, install it in settings, and hooray you get the good trackpad like two finger right click and scrolling (set sensitivity to minimum) in 10.13/10.14 and I think 10.15.

This is for the Macbook 5,2 early-mid 2009. I recently board swapped mine into a pristine 2006 black casing so I had lots of motivation to research and find the old fix. Here you go. Attached is the coveted fix.

 

[jackoverfull]

Great to know, thanks.

 

[zeratul75]

thanks, I installed it in catalina, and it is almost fully working like in El capitan.
Here is what I get:
1 as you already said, you lost the setting on reboot. if you will remember in the future how to have it permanently please post the solution
2 secondary click: in El capitan you simply need to press the trackpad with 2 fingers and you get the secondary click. In catalina with the prefpanel you posted you need to press with 2 fingers the trackpad but it is not enought to have the secondary click. You need to keep the 2 fingers on the pad and press the trackpad phisical button.
Please confirm me, is this behaviour as it should be? Or did I mess something with in the trackpad preferences? I am asking because the macos original trackpad preference is still in its place, so now basically I have 2 of them involving the trackpad, the original one and the one you posted.

Anyway thanks again

Hello

using DosDude tool, I installed High Sierra on my Mac Pro 3.1 (HD as Mac OS journaled). I installed System Updates too, so now it is macOS 10.13.6 (17G14042).

The only problems I get are sudden logouts using various app. I tried some suggestions found on forums like to disable iCloud or using Onyx, but it still logout.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, in Console I see a lot of messages like these:

Failed entitlement check 'com.apple.private.secure-apsclient' for <private>

Failed entitlement check 'com.apple.private.aps-client-cert-access' for <private>

Failed entitlement check 'com.apple.private.dark-wake-push' for <private>

They are random logouts, so sometimes I can work for hours without problem, sometimes it logout after a few minutes.

Please, have you suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Try this:

Start: Read the whole guide plus faq to make sure something he wrote covers your issue. if not:

1) Enable recovery mode if you don't have it.

2) Boot into recovery mode

3) open terminal and ensure SIP is off with "csrutil disable"

4) reboot but now boot into the USB patching tool you used to install High Sierra (patched)

5) reinstall patches

6) reboot normally and check to see if you still have issues.

I think there is a way to check the ram with a apple hardware test. Maybe it's that? If not, it could be a monitor or something you have connected to it. As crazy as it sounds, every instance of sleep, kernel crashes, and random logouts I have seen ended up falling back to a thing connected to a Mac which the Mac didn't jive with for reasons unknown.

Also, other people have had those same errors and nothing happened. I am not as worried about the log as I am what it is that happens. Normally, the log points to clues and it may. What I wonder is if the circumstances are repeatable. Maybe check your power settings. Maybe this is a sleep/power nap log out bug. Maybe its a rogue piece of equipment. Maybe you reinstall but skip upgrades and leave it alone. After all, you ARE using hacks to run HS on a 3,1 right?

Hi, I'm on El capitan 10.11.6 and I'm trying to upgrade to High Sierra but when I boot the pendrive I got black screen and the macbook reboot immediately and gave me the message "your computer restarted because of error...." When I remove the pendrive, the computer start normaliy so I can post the report the error... Seems like some library caused this... any idea? Thanks in advance!

Ok forget it, I installed catalina with the patcher.... and all is fine now!

Which method is currently the best for installing High Sierra on a late 2008 MacBook: Opencore Legacy Patcher or dosdude1's Patcher Tool?

Nevermind. Figured it out.

The best way probably depends on the Mac you are using. Got an iMac9,1 with GT130 and used OCLP with manually enabled settings (iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS and moderate spoofing), built and installed OpenCore to the internal EFI and was able to install High Sierra completely. Used an unpatched and unmodified USB installer created using the official method.

The latest updates were applied using the Apple 2020 security update package. No post install patching necessary, not APFS driver added, it ran simply out of the box like using a supported Apple Mac.

From this experiment I would assume you can apply the same recipe to all early Intel Macs supported with El Capitan. The OCLP team added drivers to support Mojave and later to their great software, same parts can be used to install and run Sierra and High Sierra.

I have a similar question –
How to install macOS High Sierra Security Update 2020-006 on iMac9,1, 2009 ?

Using the patcher (great work, dosdude1!), I've already installed High Sierra up to 10.13.6, and its on a bootable USB too.
After an Apple alert, I downloaded their SecUpd2020-006HighSierra.dmg. It won't work from my desktop, giving a message like "Computer too old".
Is there some other way to install it?

Use Opencore.
