I haven't read of it being mentioned, but I think Apple usually releases point releases when releasing new hardware
I've had a weird thing happen to me that has me worried/spooked a bit. Last night I wasn't home, so the only Apple device I've used all day yesterday has been my iPhone. Other than that the night before last I used my hackintosh to download Xcode as I'm trying to compile a kext that I found/problem I'm working on.
Now today, I got home early morning after staying at a friends place, upon walking inside my house and my iPhone activating via wifi, I'm now being asked for my apple password.
I entered the password... Fail... I try opening my MacBook... Same thing... I try the iforget website and it says I've entered my birthday wrong.
I then enter it three times and it locks me out, I've now tried ringing Apple and they've reset my password but I have to wait for 24hrs to get the email... Wonder why this long...
Is there anyway way my hackintosh has borked my Apple ID. Or even worse do you think it could be compromised?
Has anyone heard of this happening before??

I just made another Hack with the help of another forum member. Last time I was really 'in the game' Chameleon was the stuff. I had a copy of Hazard working on my Athlon x64 laptop. Anyway. Its an old Shuttle SX48P2, with a very quick Core2Quad. 8GB of RAM later (4x2GB), I have a nice system running off of a spare SSD. My other SSD will run Windows 10 for when I need Gaming stuff done. The GTX 650 isn't terrible 
The BCM94360CD and its variants are the preferred card to use. There is another one, I believe from TP-Link, that is compatible with Handoff but it lacks bluetooth so you will need a separate USB bluetooth adaptor.
Yeah, the 4360 broadcom chipset is the go-to for sure, I don't think there are a ton of PCIe variants that aren't half mini or m.2. I haven't purchased a TP link WiFi card in a while - I know the old variants (the Wireless N ones that were so popular for working OOTB with OS X) run on an Atheros chipset, which is incompatible with Handoff. Handoff needs a Broadcom card, but I don't know the minimum spec for it. Wireless N broadcom cards should work fine, as my 2011 MBP with a 2012 MBP wireless card works fine and is Wireless N, just needed that BT 4.0 bump. Haven't tried with a 4.0 dongle, though I do own one. It's just in the same tower as that TP link card, so obviously doesn't work.
That's correct. Continuity (cellular phone calls and SMS) works fine with the Atheros chipset, but Handoff (transferring docs, emails, webpages) require a newer Broadcom card. An Atheros card will also require you to "Search for an older Mac" in Airdrop (and you can't use Airdrop to or from iOS devices at all).
I'm currently using a wireless-N Atheros-based TP-Link card.
The reason I asked is that this guy used a BCM94352Z (Dell OEM, from his description) with working Handoff. I had hoped that there was a full-sized PCIe card that used a supported Broadcom chipset. Maybe I'll try the BCM94360 again.
The BCM94352Z works very well. I use that in my main tower (X99 board with m.2 slot). Requires a few patches here and there and a FakePCIID device spoof, but I've yet to have any issues with it. From what I've seen, the "combo cards" are usually just one of those or a mPCIe version in an adapter. I've bought a few of those adapters over the years and have never found them to be particularly reliable.
I've used the mPCIe variation in many machines (including the M6600 I'm typing on) and it works great with the same patches, etc.

I'm thinking this was the issue, thanks for pointing me towards it, I'd never know, can't believe they haven't sent any emails to users about this rant rant rant annoyed
Apple released 10.11.6. See my Post #2 for the update procedure. TRIM and audio survived the update.

HI , can i check for mac os x El Capitan can support desktop pc ( i7-6700/asus mb z170 pro gaming/corsair ddr4 gaming ram/nvidia GT960 4gb/kingston SSD harddrive ) ?
So is everybody finally up on Sierra??
I hadn't booted my OS X drive in a while so I just updated. I gotta buy those clover guy some beer and hookers.

not me, can't get it to boot. El cap is running ok but have tried several distros and the inplace upgrade and none will boot the installer for sierra. x99 5820K
havent tried that yet. should clarify the in place upgrader ran the first steps from el cap and i'm trying to get the Install sierra to boot now from clover to finish the install thats the part that won't boot up.
Yes. I upgraded the first day Sierra was made available. Was messing around with Siri earlier today. lol
Yep up and working with PB7 I'm in another state at the moment but will reinstall fresh with 10.12.1
Gigabyte X99P-SLI
Intel i7 Broadwell-e 6800k
32GB ram (haven't figured out how to run it past 2133mhz, it's rated at 3200mhz)
Nvidia 710 (until the new drivers for 1070 or 1060 come out...)
Samsung NVME 512gb SSD
Full speedstep, native power management
Minimal kexts
Took me about 2 months to get going properly, but I know a lot more about hackintoshing now, thanks to some really smart guys floating around the net

I am not touching Sierra until Karabiner is fixed, so that should be enough time for TonyMac website to be updated and everybody else to have the problems El Cap is working 99% perfect now, except for sleep which is a motherboard problem and Sierra won't fix it.

I have to chuckle when I read this (or groan) because my update ended in kernel panics. And mine isn't a Hackintosh!
Everything went well on my cMP 4,1 (with 5,1 firmware) until I migrated my El Capitan User Folder into the new Sierra install. Kernel panics early in the boot cycle from then on.
I can wait. Glad you folks are up and running though.
Glad, and a bit jealous.
