macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

@deeveedee even sleeping and hibernation?

@brennovich I am emulating an MBP6,2 on a PC and sleep works perfectly and I don't hibernate. We have different devices. You should add an APFS volume and test it. The OCLP experience with one SMBIOS model cannot in any way predict the experience on another.

Easy OTA upgrade from Ventura 13.7.7 -> 13.7.8. Applying non-metal Nvidia Tesla post-install patches with OCLP 2.4.0.

Spoiler

EDIT: Posting this with Safari 18.1.1. Won't test later versions of Safari until I create another Ventura test volume.

macOS 13.7.8 installed atop 13.7.7 OTA, OCLP 2.4.0, runs as expected.
👏

Can someone please share a link to Safari18.1.1VenturaAuto.pkg?

Update:

I've managed to get the installer from the Web Archive!

1. You can download the biggest file here.
2. Install the warcat utility
3. Then extract the warm file

Inside all the folders you will find the Safari18.1.1VenturaAuto.pkg file.

Thanks a lot.

This helped me to find Safari 18.1.1 for Sonoma.

Can also download it without 'curl' .

Finally instead of warcart utility is simply to use The Unarchiver app

Recently updated my Mac Pro 5,1 to 13.7.8 and OCLP to 2.4.1. Now Safari won't load any webpages (A problem repeatedly occurred with ...) and Chrome causing the mac to freeze up.

In trying to sort through the responses here, is the solution to install a previous version of Safari? I'm running 18.6

And is there any solution to the Chrome issue? I'm assuming they are related.

Thanks

So I just download Safari 18.1.1. (I think its posted above) and install? And this overwrites the current version I have installed? Because I don't think you can uninstall Safari its part of the OS.

 

[ericmix]

Yes for all

You can't uninstall Safari, just overwrite it with version 18.1.1.

thanks. Did you solve the Chrome issue?

 

[ericmix]

I haven't tried it. I just installed Safari and it worked again.

Then I got tired and reinstalled Ventura again and safari 18.1.1

In my Ventura test volume, I upgraded to 13.7.8 (22H730) and Safari 18.6. Safari 18.6 does not work for me on any of the websites that I visited, including this one. I re-installed Safari Version 18.1.1 (18619.2.8.111.7, 18619) and website functionality that I tested is restored. For non-metal Nvidia, it appears to me that Safari 18.1.1 is the latest Safari version that runs reasonably well in Ventura. Note that I am applying Nvidia Tesla post-install patches with OCLP 2.4.0 for this test.

macOS 13.7.8 installed atop 13.7.7 OTA, OCLP 2.4.0, now my device is. running so so slow.

Yes.. it's same to Sonoma

..now my device is. running so so slow.

I always do complete installations. Even if it takes more time.

I'm using Safaria 26.0.1 with Sonoma 14.8.1. I only use it to visit this website and the InsanelyMac website and don't have any issues. Same for Sequoia. It is only with Ventura that I need to remain with Safari 18.1.1.

macOS 13.7.8 installed atop 13.7.7 OTA, OCLP 2.4.0, now my device is. running so so slow.

I perform all of my updates via OTA (which always downloads the full installer since OCLP breaks the APFS seal), so there's no difference between applying the full installer and updating via OTA. I don't see any performance difference between 13.7.7 and 13.7.8 after allowing 13.7.8 to run its post-install processes for a while. If the slowness persists, you could always try to re-apply OCLP post-install patches.
