Mac OS installed on MacBook. First steps on Mac: newbies about OS X Chi can install mac os on a computer

Walk a little, scho put MacOS on the best PC "difficult and not easy".
Really lay everything in the spring :) In the spring and in the air.
In my opinion, installing MacOS X was three times more expensive than installing Windows 7.

Shlyakhiv installation - kupa. I will describe the simplest and the worst. Folding options - not for me. Just because it didn't work, it doesn't mean that you can't install MacOS anyway. Possibly possible, but with folding paths. For laptops, you can find ready-made images of exciting disks (modified by smart people).

The rest of the Makiv line is the ultimate PC. We change the bios for the original PC. І MacOS may have less firewood for surroundings, recruiting outbuildings, like going with poppies.

Reflash bios is not required (if you want it is one of the possible ways). I have MacOS X, Win XP, Win 7 spinning on the same shaft at once.

Short: "Alternately, a special enchanting disc, changing from a new one, inserting the original MacOS X DVD, installing it, upgrading, joking and installing the driver. That's all."

0. Custom bios

Neobov'yazkova, ale bazhana part.

1. The SATA controller can be switched to AHCI mode (I have the AHCI code).
2. Turn on ACPI
3. Switch HPET (timer) to 64-bit mode (I don't know about this).
4. Turn off all the cores of one crimson processor (do not know this).
5. Turn off SpeedStep.

Everything works for me regardless of how ACPI and SpeedStep are adjusted.

1. What varto vzagalі try?

Burn .iso to CD-RW. Interestingly enough, now the disk selection menu has appeared - hooray, your PC is now more than a Mac. If it doesn't work, try something else. I've got the first one, for a great show: empireEFIv1085.iso.

If all the .iso's didn't work, you can try an older version of EmpireEFI. If nothing happened, then the simple option is not for you. There is a bunch of folding installation options ( Google, forum and vіkі for help), or buy a sum of money with a Mac installed (list), or buy a PC with already installed and installed MacOS (є firms, how to do it), or know quietly, who to install MacOS, or buy a right Mac ( having overpaid twice).

2. The original MacOS X installation DVD is required

Now your PC is maybe a Mac. You can insert an exciting MacOS X DVD and install yoga.
For iPhone SDK 4.0, version 10.6 or older is required. I installed 10.6.3, auto update upgraded me to 10.6.4.

Where can I get such a disc?
1. From a well-known poppy.
2. Buy from the store.
3. Get the image from the Internet and record it on a DVD-R DL (double layer) which is 8Gb.
4. Capture an image from the Internet and capture a flash drive.

Even if you know a poppy guide from an exciting DVD - this is the best way. Win and help install and upgrade MacOS.

As a guest, often come to you "to fight against evils in the sphere of high technologies" - buy an official disk. Installing MacOS on a PC violates the Apple license, otherwise the license is not valid for the Russian Federation, because. violating the laws of the Russian Federation (specifically, article 1280 of the Central Committee). Also, this license violates the law and is not valid in Europe, but not in the USA.

You can capture the image, for example, zvіdsi.
Vin in Mac format.dmg.
Which format under Windows to write (and convert to iso): PowerISO, UltraISO.
You can just convert to iso with the help of dmg2img .

You need to write on a two-ball DVD-R DL blank, on the least possible speed and with a re-recording. If the installer cannot read from the disk, write down that the disk can be thrown into the box.

In order to create an exciting flash drive - it is necessary before installing MacOS (to start running under VMWare) that flash drive is 8Gb in size or larger.

3. Where do we put the time?

I don't know how to put on one MacOS physical disk without erasing Windows installations. Paragon Partition Manager can work to partition MacOS on the same Windows drive, MacOS installer can download this partition, or you can install it on a new one. If you want the GUID of the entire disk, it should be installed on the MBR.

And the axis, install MacOS, and then Windows is already possible (for the help of BootCamp).
I made it simple - by buying a new disk specifically for MacOS.

4. Installed

Starting from EmpireEFI CD, if the disk selection menu is displayed, then the CD and the MacOS DVD (or the flash drive) are inserted, the disk is selected, from which installation is possible. I all.
For extended diagnostics of the installation: at the menu for selecting disks, press Tab (which will be done before switching to text mode), select the disk (up/down arrows) and type "-v".

If you choose a menu to choose a movie - then you were spared by a sudden :)

If the usb keyboard or the mouse does not work, then try viimati and inserting them into the docks will not work. I had such a trap only once, every other time everything worked out without overthinking.

Switch Movie: Win+Space.

The installation does not differ in any way from the installation on a Mac.

If you ask to select the disk where to put it, go to the menu (like a beast): Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the disk, go to the Erase tab, Format, set it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click on Erase. After formatting, it seems that the utility has a bachimo that a new disk has appeared, which is attached to be installed.

On a MacOS disk, borrow 7 GB.

5. After installation

After the installation, I immediately requested the merezhev card and the Internet. Updating the system to 10.6.4 via the Internet was successful (Apple -> Software Update), it downloaded more than a gigabyte. As a driver for a merezhі not pіdіyshov - you can always fix it again.

I turned on all sleep modes (System Preferences -> Energy Saver). The stench I have and in Windows is turned on, and they wrote on the forums - what can be a problem: either you can’t fall asleep, or you can’t slip. I try to try without becoming. Restart and Shut Down - work.

You won't be able to get involved with MacOS on your own. To get started, you need to get started from the EmpireEFI CD and select the disk where MacOS was installed. To get started on our own, we need myHack or Chameleon, the stench is on CD EmpireEFI (Empire EFI/Post-Installation). We put myHack on the back, if you don't want to get MacOS - put Chameleon. І do not forget to insert the first exciting disk from MacOS in bios.

If MacOS does not vanish (wrong vantazhuvach or the driver is not correct), you can still zavanazhitsya from the EmpireEFI CD.

I have a new myHack, I don’t want to get up on the Internet. Chameleon - getting up, old myHack from CD Empire vіn zavantazhuє MacOS without zayvih push.

MyHack and Chameleon prompt you to select a disk for capture at startup - this is how you can capture from Windows (it's worth it). You can also select the drive for the capture when you start the computer Shift + F8 (my bios is the same).

6. Drivers

Drivers in MacOS can be expanded.
The main (system) drivers are located here: /System/Library/Extensions/
PC Drivers: /Extra/Extensions/

Basic set of drivers on the EmpireEFI CD: /EmpireEFI/Extra/Preboot.dmg/Extra/Extensions/
Copy all qi.kext to /Extra/Extensions/

Information about how to download MacOS: Apple -> About This Mac -> More Info.

If the memory card did not get up, you can search for drivers under Windows. MacOS can read NTFS and FAT drives. I have MacOS to bat all WinXP and Win7 drives in read-only mode. You can also download the driver to a flash drive.

Drop drivers in /Extra/Extensions. It is necessary to put another driver into /System/Library/Extensions replacing the system one (it is written in the description of the driver). Sometimes you need to delete the system driver.

After changing the drivers - you need to update the driver cache.
Zrobititse just for help pfix. Start yoga, ask the password for the system and the disk number, destoy the system. Pratsiyu vіn dovgo, khvilin 15. If the password is empty in the task system, pfix still does not understand, I need a 1-letter password (change the password here: System Preferences -> Accounts).

The driver for NVidia is right up, I tried the first-stupest one: NVEnabler 64.kext
After the driver cache was updated and the mode was changed from 1024x768 to 1920x1080, new modes appeared in System Preferences -> Displays.

I don't know the driver for my matir. Everything worked and so, let's surround the sound. On the forums, I read that my mother needs a universal sound driver VoodooHDA.kext. Having changed different drivers: sometimes there was no sound, sometimes not working volume, sometimes working volume, but also noise at maximum. Having earned with a bang the axis of the driver with the erased system AppleHDA.kext.

At the same time, there are many copy-pastes, in fact, one and the same article, about the installation of MacOS X on a hackintosh with approximately the same heading. Well, I'll tell you how to install Mac OS X from a flash drive on a mac itself.

There is nothing collapsible here, but not all are pros, that and reinstalling the system on a mac is a good idea to do it, if you don’t have Windows. When is it necessary? My mind needed to upgrade from an old version of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).

Select format and enter disk name. Press the "Security settings" button. Here you will see how to erase the data, how to find it on the disk at once. Choose one from the list, and it will take more than an hour to format the disk - in some cases it can take a lot of time.

The system offers a few options for the secure removal of data from the disk. This croc will efficiently format your disk. Look over your settings and change what you need. Press the "Erase" button at the bottom of the "Disk Utility" interface. Seems like a confirmation. If you are convinced that you want to continue, press "Erase". See the progress at the lower right corner.

Keep on writing about such an old thing, if you are on OS X 10.9, the topic of novelty is calm today, the essence of food does not change. disk image OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD 10.6.3 Retail I took it from the inmac.org torrent.

You can also install OS X Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8) from a flash drive. You can legally get OS X Mountain Lion in the App Store (the price of food is less than 625 rubles).
After the completion of the acquisition, the "Programs" folder will have a utility Mac OS X Mountain Lion installed.
Right-click on the mouse on the installer and select "Show package instead". Dali a copy of the "SharedSupport" folder in any other place of the OS image InstallESD.dmg.

The creation of an exciting flash drive or a Mac OS X disk

To burn the image of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you need a DVD disc with a free space (6.3 Gb per primary disc is not available), but there was no drive for burning the state. I didn't hesitate. At that hour, if the spaceships are plodding, victorious CDs are bad manners.

Shards of computers of the Mac family are recognizing their superiority and vibrancy, richly corystuvachiv will not change their attachments through the Retina screen, or a harder processor. However, far from such an “old” skin one can install new software security, including the OS X Mountain Lion operating system – here Apple itself introduces the software. How can you be in such a situation?

Luckily, no one is blocking us for a little trick, so that Mac knows a friend's mind. The installed OS X version 10.8.3 can be seen in the application of the special utility MLPostFactor. Well, obviously, they did it even if not in Cupertino, it is necessary to remember one simple and good rule.

All the next steps with your computer you spend only on your own fear and risk!

We have sorted out the three, so let's get down to the procedure of installing the operating system. We need to point out that MLPostFactor does not support all generations of Mac computers, but the list is quite different.

• MacBook late 2006, 2007 and 2008
• Macbook Air mid 2007
• MacBook Pro late 2007 to mid 2007
• iMac 2006 roku
• Mac mini 2006 roku
• Mac Pro 2006 and 2007
• Xserve 2006 and early 2008

Not supported

Mac, presented from 2006 to 2008 with PowerPC processors, Core Duo and Core Solo.

Minimum systemic help

• Mac with Core 2 Duo processor and Lion operating system
• Two gigabytes of RAM
• A copy of Mountain Lion (about the same three things)
• Zovnіshnіy hoarding vіsіm gigabytes (optional)
• Vіlniy razdіl pid Mountain Lion (minіmum 20 GB)

As soon as your computer is able to respond to the most important helpers, you can boldly collapse far away.

Get a copy of Mountain Lion

You can do it in a number of ways. The first is to buy an operating system from a new Mac from the App Store, copy it to your current storage, and transfer it to your old Mac. The other one is to get the Parallels Desktop program (download the original version), install Lion for help, and then buy Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store legally. Copy the language into the Programs folder.

Breaking hard disc

Vіdkrivaєmo "Disk Utility" and svoryuєmo two new parts on hard drive. The first one is called "Install" and it should be given to you a large gigabyte of free space, and the other (ML) should be given no less than 20 gigabytes.

Zavantazhuemo and run MLPostFactor

For a long time, global software updates were being made on the old Mac, but it was not possible to show them that they upgraded the computer's operating system to the remaining version of macOS Sierra. It's a great pity, after the update, instead of Apple's announced productivity optimization, your machine has become more comfortable, and OS X chips, apparently, don't sound choked up with such robotic bugs. What work? Can you see, for example, OS X El Capitan (macOS Sierra) on OS X Mavericks?

Luckily, you can. Apple does not advertise ways to downgrade macOS, but at the same time does not hinder it, as if you were falling into iOS.

After installing OS X Mavericks on your old Mac, you are glad to change that the computer has become "light".

Galmuє Mac after upgrading to macOS Sierra (OS X El Capitan)? Install a clean OS X Mavericks

Note that you may not be able to upgrade to OS X Mavericks on all Macs. For example, if you bought a Macbook with OS X Yosemite pre-installed, then you can't afford to download OS X Mavericks for confirmation, since the OS version was released earlier. The best system to install into any environment will be OS X Yosemite.

Video instruction:

Save your personal data

In this case, it is NOT RECOMMENDED to go to the backup copy for the help of Time Machine. Since the backup will be created on the new version of OS X, it’s not a fact that it will burn correctly on a larger old system and it will burn up in the fire.

Ideally, copy the necessary files and folders to an external hard drive.

To hide the power behind the Know Mac and Activation Blocks, see from the iCloud public record in System Settings. Vimknennya functions become automatic. I will add a report on the process of visualization from the oblіkovogo record of iCloud descriptions.

IMPORTANT: Before the cob diy obov'yazkovo pereverte:

• Chi bindings Mac itself to yours, and not be-anything else.

5 . Start the process of installing OS X Mavericks. Check out the vkazіvki on the screen.

In this article, we will install macOS Sierra on the computer using the additional BDU (Boot Disk Utility) program and a special image for this utility. Finding the image for BDU and the utility itself is easy on Google.

The easiest way to install macOS Sierra on your computer. True, this way will be simple only for those who may not be able to do it for these purposes. Zocrema, you can have a motherboard with chipsets: H61, B85, Z77, H77, Z87, H87, Z97, H97, Z170. The processor is to blame but not the lowest for the Intel Core i3. A video card can be worthwhile. For example, Intel HD 4000/4600, AMD 7850, 7870, Nvidia 640, 650, 660 and so on (Kepler) or Nvidia GT 210.

If you see Fermi video cards (GTX 5XX, 710, 720, 730), then, above all, you don't see anything with the installation. Qi video cards work even more unstable. About Nvidia 730 video cards I will say this: this video card can be either Fermi or Kepler. So, if it's a Kepler video card, then it's okay with web drivers. Video cards GTX 9XX, 1XXX work only from web drivers.

Respect! If you have an NVidia graphics card, then mask under iMac 13.1 or 14.2, on other devices there may be problems with interference, shards in most cases with Apple's AMD video cards.

Remember that the smarter you will be filled, it will be easier to install it. If you don't have an Intel Core processor, and if you have a Pentium or a Celeron, then you have to mask the Intel Core, and if you have an AMD processor, then you have to patch the core.

Earlier, I showed the installation behind the help of a virtual machine with installed OS X and Windows. At once we install for the additional Boot Disk Utility (BDU) program, and also try to tweak the standard Clover config. Let the zavantazhuvach himself appoint our salary. I'll just add a cake to the merezh.

After installing macOS Sierra, you can put your power in the comments, but describe your computer configuration as fully as possible, for example, I will install the axis on the following configuration:

• Gigabyte GA-Z87m-HD3
• Intel Core i3-4330
• 8 GB RAM (2 x 4 GB, 1600 MHz. Samsung)
• Intel HD 4600 + Gainward GTX 660 Ti
• 2 monitors (DVI + DVI), as well as an HDMI TV.
• 120 GB SSD from SanDisk.

I also want to guess what you have about every kind of change, you can have a flash drive with usma kexts and the Windows operating system, in that case, it’s not like that and you have to download files or programs. Well, otherwise wink for someone else.

The Boot Disk Utility program works under Windows. My guess is, I'll tweak Windows 10. We also need an image for macOS Sierra.

Run the BDU and format the flash drive:

Once the flash drive is formatted, it will contain the rest of Clover. And we don’t have to burn our image from the macOS Sierra operating system onto a USB flash drive:

Since we have written our image from the operating system to the flash card, I will throw the cake on the border. It is more necessary for my computer and you may also need a cake, everything should be laid out in your lace pattern. Speaking of which, when using BootDiskUtility, the FakeSMC kext is already in the kexts/other folder, so you don’t need to insert anything else.

Just like a flash card with macOS Sierra is recorded, it is reloaded by the computer and it is captured from our flash drive (F12). Zavantazhuvatisya I will be in UEFI mode. And I will also show the key -v to start the operating system in text mode.

If you are using a non-Kepler NVidia video card, use the nv_disable=1 key. If you have a system to stop for an hour of capture, try to capture with the -x switch (safety mode).

If you choose a movie, you need to format a hard drive or an SSD:

Continue installing macOS Sierra in normal mode:

After installing macOS Sierra, you need to save anonymous data:

All basic installations completed. How to get on macOS Sierra out of the box, I ordered a GTX 660 Ti video card. So, the best video card is as quiet as I tried for a hackintosh. Looking ahead, the axis is a picture for you to "seed", but it's true, cost El Capitan OS:

How long does it take to install MacOS Sierra?

After installing macOS Sierra, we’ll immediately install Clover on our SSD and install config.plist, the config for the skin computer is your own responsibility, the config file for Ivy Bridge / Haswel and laptops is already very windy, it is recommended that you read the book . As soon as your system stops getting bogged down, you can start zawanting from a flash drive and fix config.plist.

Installing Clover I axis іz with the following parameters:

Install the config on a hard drive, not a flash drive. In principle, you only have one wine - then, for the Clover lock, choose yoga. Also remember, the config example is higher for a UEFI system, for Bios Legacy such a Clover installation is not possible.

After installing Clover, setting up config.plist and reloading, we will have the system working again.

Briefly, what I have done in config.plist:

• by installing 32MB of memory for Intel graphics in UEFI and setting ig-platform-id 0x04120004
• adding P-states
• having opened the SSDT table entry, I did not use SpeedStep through the yak
• by entering iMac 14.2

Keksty, as I vikoristovuvav when installing and nalashtuvanni hackintosha:

• FakeSMC.kext
• RealtekRTL8111.kext - merging
• HDMIAudio.kext - sound on TV

Reshta works out of the box. Let's surround the sound on the motherboard. I didn’t start yoga on purpose, to the vicorous sound on TV. You can start the sound for the help of a patched AppleHDA or VoodooHDA.

Remember, what is the "correct" you have for the hackintosh, it will be easier to install it. Installing a hack on my computer doesn't work for me, even reinstalling Windows. And if you have an axis that is specific to you, for example, a PCI Wi-Fi adapter, a sound card, or else, then in most cases it will not work on the hack.

This is the entire installation of macOS Sierra on a standard PC computer.
