Hello everyone, This is actually great forum, i learn on this forum to get understand about running MacOS on Intel-based system, so i really wonder 'can i do it myself'. And yes, finally i can install MacOs Sierra 10.12.6 on my Asus S451LB (Vivobook). But the problem is i'm not really good to understanding about machine language (ACPI). So i created this post to ask about DSDT and SSDT for my laptop and get the Mac Os running well. How to patch many issue that don't work after install that OS, can anyone explain and help me to patch the dsdt and ssdt effectively, so my laptop can stable to running that OS ? I'm very gratefull. Thanks in advance, Anyway sorry for my bad english.

Hello everyone! I'm running OS Sierra 10.12.6 on Asus UX360u. Everything works, except for WiFi card (Intel) but I need help with some DSDT edits: -I use AsusFnKeys.kext but some Fn keys (brightness, backlight) don't work. -I want use Fn Keys but without typping Fn (Fn keys as functional keys patch doesn't work) -Also, my touchpad is Elan1200 i2c, so I don't use SmartTouchpad.kext (I use voodooi2c). -I use also USB WiFi (DWA-131 E) and can't get working iMessages, because this USB is not listed as BuiltIn (nullethernet works but doesn't make my USB WiFi act as built-in device). -When I turn off the machine, which is plugged on AC adapter, machine gets restarted, also machine can't go to sleep. So, I'll be really grateful if someone can help me with my DSDT, I don't know whitch patches I need and when I apply some patches, I get KP or some non-functional kexts (like audio).

Hey guys, I've got this Beast (ASUS G73JW) laying around for the past 2 years and I don't want to really sell it off since it's been helping me out in my audio production over the years. I'd like to install OSx on it but really don't know why every time I time I try, I keep failing. I've tried NIRESH's....worked till the desktop but can't boot into the OS without the USB. Another thing is I get NO WIFI,AUDIO,GRAPHICS. Can anyone help out with a Step-by-Step guide on how to install on it. I'm trying to run LOGIC PRO as my main DAW after FL STUDIO. Cheers, MXPYNE

I was able to find an older "G75VW" posting, https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6182-asus-g75vw/, that is for 10.9 and not to mention his system has different hardware.

And if read thoroughly no one should be referring me to the above referenced G75VW post. Also, this isn't my first osx86 build. Been doing this since @2002. -Semper Fi

Friends'm installing OS X El Capitan, download the installer again, prepare the USB over and over again, tried many "boot flags" but during installation 16 minutes after me out this error: "An error occurred while extracting files from the package "Essentials.pkg" is no longer what else to do if anyone knows of this error please let me know how I can fix.

Hi This is my notebook: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N56DP/specifications/ Asus N56DP A10 4600M 2.3Ghz 4GB Ram AMD Radeon HD 7730M & AMD Radeon HD 7660G 500GB HDD USB 3.0 And a installed windows 7 on it. I used myHack 3.3.1 and Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and made a bootable USB. Every thing is ok and i can see installation with GraphicsEnabler=No flag. I want to install OS X on a partition, without losing any data and without format whole Hard Disk and without installing windows 7 again. Now, i format a partition to HFS+ type. What should i do now?

Hi, I did a pretty successful installation of Yosemite on the laptop in my signature. Yet, I have some problems, especially with the touchpad, some small problems with my audio (no sound after sleep, mic loop on start, output device not changing to headphones and back when plugging and unplugging the headphones). Specifications: Processor : Intel Core i5 3337U Graphics Processor(GPU) : Intel HD4000 and Nvidia Optimus GT710M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM Hard disk : SSD Kingston HyperX 128GB RAM : 4GB DDR3 / bus 1600 Wifi : Original AR9485 not work (Replaced by:BCM94322HM8L) LAN : Realtek (will update the model later) Audio : Realtek ALC270 USB 3.0 : Intel 7series/210 USB 3.0 Touchpad : Elan Touchpad v4 Webcam : HD Web Camera Card reader : Monitor: 15.6" 16:9 HD (1366x768) LED Backlight Optical Drive: Super-Multi DVD (Optional) Working List: Graphics (Intel HD4000) - Full Audio - (with some problems) WIFI (Replaced) LAN HDMI Sleep, Processor Speedsteps and Native power management. Fn Hotkeys USB works Disable turbo boost on battery Not working: Trackpad Multitouch (works but detected as mouse so no settings like accidental palm detection which really irritates me) GT630M Graphics Realtek CardReader Webcam I used various sources/guides when installing the system and I want to prepare a clean guide and also dsdt for my future installs. Now the system is very stable but I want to get rid of all unnecessary patches / kexts or tweaks I did and have a very clean system and also a guide for other people. I will post the way I installed together with the sources and I will also post a clean DSDT (exported from Linux) and my patched DSDT (from another similar system and which works great but I think it has some issues). 1. Install Niresh's Yosemite with "Backup Graphics" option enabled and with no boot loader. 2. Install Clover with UEFI and add the boot path option in BIOS. 3. Installed Elan Touchpad - Detected as trackpad 4. Installed kexts and DSDT from this archive http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/4332-efi-k46cb-i5-3337u-yosemite-10101/ 5. Now almost everything works due to the patched DSDT (fan not at full speed all time, full graphics, correct battery status, cpu states, sleep) 6. After the patched DSDT my trackpad doesn't work anymore (even if I edited it to look exactly like the original one for the PS2M device.) 7. Also problems with no sound after sleep, microphone input on startup, no switch when plugging headphones. PS. Please help me organizing everything so any moderator feel free to edit my post and organize it better because I'm not good at this. I am looking for help,and I'm ready to help with any requirements experienced people have in order to make this ready for EDP. So let's start with the trackpad, the problem is that my kext is not loaded. I used the latest Elan + FocalTech kexts available here.

good afternoon kindly request your cooperation I managed to install yosemite on my laptop with the method of unifail without even configure the keys but works perfect except that if I want to install windows 8 tells me that is not possible in the installation of windows 8 that is not partition ON GPT when in the yosemite installer i select the GUID option and if I try to do the opposite way first install windows 8 on GPT is blocking the disk utility to create a new partition. I would like if someone could give me a help want to install yosemite UEFI mode with windows 8 in the same way if someone can give me some pointers.

Hello everyone! I'm Italian and I'm new to this forum, so I'm sorry for my English. I recently replaced the optical drive of my Asus N550JV-CM149H Notebook with a HDD caddy to put a second HDD and I wanted to try installing OSX Yosemite in that HDD in dual boot with Windows 8.1 64-bit installed in the primary HDD (upgraded from Windows 8 64-bit through the Windows Store with all Asus factory defaults). So I have a few questions for you: 1) What are the differences between installing OSX Yosemite trough Chameleon or Clover? Is Clover better for UEFI Motherboards? 2) I tried to follow some Clover OSX Installation guides (this and this https://applelife.ru/threads/asus-n550jv-n750jv-na-haswell.41594/) for my Notebook in order to set the correct BIOS settings and OSX kexts. Are the kexts for OSX Mavericks compatible with OSX Yosemite? Are the UEFI settings in the attached images correct? 3) If I install OS X Yosemite on the second HDD (which by the way is installed in the SATA port 0 as the primary HDD is installed in SATA port 1 as you can see in the attached image), I might have problems of HDD priority or problems with the Windows Boot Manager for launching Windows? There are little specs of my Notebook: NOTEBOOK: Asus N550JV-CM149H MOTHERBOARD CHIPSET: Intel Lynx Point HM86, Intel Haswell BIOS: American Megatrends Inc.

hello guys, i am new here and in computer stuffs dont understand a thing, please help me to find out how is possible to install mavericks onto asus k95vb(quad-core intel core i7-3630qm, 2600Mhz chipset intel panther point hm76, intel ivy bridge, ram 8gb ddr3 1600 nvidia geforce gt740m 2 gb, bios dmi america megatrends version 206. thanks to all who will answer!!

I Followed the guide for the G750jx on the Rog forums but i think the hardware is just different enough to not boot correctly. I have been able to boot with a Niresh distro of maverick and the Mach_kernel from the G750jx guide. To get it to boot i had to remove the Nvidia kexts, Pretty sure that is because no apple products have the 800 series graphics yet. My Specs are: Intel-4700HQ 2.4 Ghz/ IntelHD 4600 graphics GTX 860m Bios version is 207 latest. Realtek high definition audio. I'd like to be able to install vanilla OS X. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, this is to be part of my fixes to add a brightness slider for my Asus g750JX with 3D screen. i can only start it up with an EFI string and nvidia drivers. can some one just check this SSDT-7 Fixed.dsl.txt, compile it and reopen the compiled aml? (extension .txt only added so i can attach it here) (original extracted file attached also in acpi_ssdt8.zip) i cleared the errors already and most warnings and can compile it. But when i reopen the .aml the _ROM method errors are back. thanks. SSDT-7 Fixed.dsl.txt acpi_ssdt8.zip

Hi, after a few KP's i managed to get my fresh Mavericks 10.9.4 system working relatively smoothly, but i'm not really sure about Power Management, Speedstep, C-States,P-States etc and also Wake from Sleep is broken. (No video signal on wake). I don't really know about patching my motherboard etc. Couldn't find any pre-made patches. Also i don't really understand whether i need SSDT or DSDT (apparently not the latter for UEFI Mobo?) and I don't know how i test eg C-States, P-States etc or what I need them for. One thing that's a possible "issue" is the Corsair H80i, attached to the Mobo via mini-usb. there's no controller software for OSX obviously. When I had a 10.9 Mavericks working with Sleep, it would wake itself up immediately with GLAN EHC2. This may have been the USB connection on the fan forcing it to wake up but not sure. Currently though Wake is broken as mentioned, so I can't just test that issue by unplugging the USB at the moment) any advice & links would be gratefully appreciated. Presumably first step would be to fix the system to be able to remove NullCPUPowerManagement? thanks J Mavericks 10.9.4 (from App Store) myHack installer myHack AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement patch NullCPUPowerManagement.kext myHack TRIM patch kernel flags: npci=0x2000 dart=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes Realtek81xx kext for ethernet (or might be using EthernetBuiltIn=Yes... not sure, as both present) Envy24 audio drivers for m-audio Audiophile2496 Chameleon NVFileRam kext for iMessage fix --- Motherboard: Asus P8B75-V (UEFI) CPU: i7 3770 GPU: Zotac GT210 Cooler: Corsair H80i SSD: Samsung EVO840 250GB

Hi, i installed OSX MAVERICKS 10.9 (niresh) on my laptop and it works, but touchpad, wifi and audio doesn't works (if i put on audio i can hear a loud beep).

Expand Mac-C3EC7CD22292981F (mbp 10,1) or 5. Add a new dictionary called: Vendor10deDevice1213 6. In this new dictionary, add a new number titled: control-id 7. Give it a value of 17 8. Add a new dictionary called: Heuristic 9. In this new dictionary, add a new number titled: ID 10. Give it a value of 0 11. Navigate back to GFX0 under the smbios 12. expand heuristic under it and change the value of ID to 0 (0 is for fermi cards and 4 is for kepler) 13. To create ssdt: i. After downloading ssdtPRGen, open terminal and type: ~/ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3 * This will generate an ssdt with the ivy bridge work arounds. Without the work arounds, you're cpus will be stuck at "x8.0" all of the time. Mavericks Only: 1. Change smbios from iMac 13,2 to iMac 12,1 2. AGPM patching same as above except apply these fixes to iMac 12,1 smbios instead 3. Under gfx0, delete "BoostPState", "BoostTime", and everything under the "Heuristic" dictionary except the "ID" number 4. Go back into S/L/E and copy AppleGraphicsControl to your desktop 5. Open it and go to Contents -> Plugins -> AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy -> Contents 6. Open the info.plist and navigate to: IOKitPersonalities -> AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy -> ConfigMap 7. Create a new string and name it: Mac-942B5BF58194151B 8. Make its value: none * This will prevent booting to a black screen 9. A special ssdt must be generated to get proper cpu power management: i. After downloading ssdtPRGen, open terminal and type: ./ssdtPRGen.sh -c 0 * This will generate an ssdt for sandy bridge smbioses (like the iMac 12,1) to get proper cpu power management Explanation for using iMac 12,1 Smbios in Mavericks For unknown reasons, using the iMac 12,1 smbios (with proper smbios and graphics kext patches outlined above) is the only one we've found to work well. Macbook pro and mac mini smbioses both lead to complete system lockups when running flash or quicktime videos and the iMac 13,2/1 smbioses work most of the time, but will lead to random and unpredictable system freezes. According to Intel, ivy bridge is backwardly compatible with sandy bridge which is why this works well. Ivy bridge is only a smaller, slightly more power efficient/slightly more powerful version of sandy bridge. There's not much of a difference between them. Credits to asusG75 for discovering this coveted freeze fix VGA After the system is booted, plugging a monitor in via VGA doesn't work.
