macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
I might have missed if someone already asked this (I’m not looking through all 105 pages on an iPhone) but I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 13” and I have an SSD running in APFS. When I run the installer, it installs just fine but the post install doesn’t run. Does anyone know what’s going for on? Do I have to remake the usb drive? Or is this an issue with the hardware? I did wipe the drive before I installed it.

you don't have to when there's a search function.

can you provide additional details on how exactly the post install doesn't run?

I had the same issue on my 2011 17". I had to do HFS+. You might want to try that just to confirm the issue.

First of all whoops! I didn’t realize that! Thank you for letting me know!

Second, I install MacOS after reformatting the drive, as you’re supposed to, and it installs just fine. Then I reboot the Mac and I click on the Post Install, but no matter what, it doesn’t do anything. No new window pops up. It acts like I didn’t even click it. It isn’t frozen though.

Okay. I will give it a try.

Edit: if HFS+ doesn’t work, I’ll try to remake the drive. That may also be an issue.

I was searching on my phone yesterday and it was still really hard, because the search cuts off some of the posts that are returned as a result. I mean, it's only 105 pages 😉

I was having an issue sometimes where the post patch installer was opening behind the Install macOS window. Do you think that's what's happening to you?

You ran the patch on a USB drive, right? NOT on the volume you intended to install macOS onto? Those files are copied to the drive used as the installer. If those files are in the root of your hard disk, then yes, you can delete them.

Yes !

OK Merci.

I had similar issue, however have you tried highlight Post Install & Command O?
 
Sorry for interrupting you guys. My MacOS Mojave Patcher is crazy (probably lol) I tryed different USB and also external HDD and still i get issue Input/Output error on MID 2010 MB WHITE
 
I am buying an SSD before installing Mojave on my 2010 MacBook Pro, will APFS work, since it worked natively on macOS High Sierra?

Question, @dosdude1 , this should theoretically work on a mac mini 2009 correct?

If you think so I will give it a try on mine!

You guys are absolutly amazing! A big thanks to all of you

Give it a try. Mojave is running on two Mac minis that I have early and late 2009, very smooth.
 
I just my realized something funny, if we can't get AMD 6xxx graphics working for my 2011 Mac mini, I might just pull my slower 2010 mini out that does work with the 10.14 patch...just because I want a dark themed UI for my living room lol

Please, look at the OP. All compatible machines are listed there.

Can you please update the list of AMD Graphics supported and unsupported machines? I'm confused of what you mean by HD 4000 and below and such.

EDIT: I'm trying to see what iMacs I should be looking at but don't want to buy one without Mojave support.

I thought dosdude1 was able to get some iMacs with AMD Graphics to work with Mojave?

Yes but Apple list of "supported" Macs differs. With patch 2009 iMac's & up.

I just want to say to everyone that helped me, thank you. However, I’m biting then bullet and I’m remaking a usb drive. I think that my internet messed up and corrupted the file and that wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.
