macOS 14 Sonoma on Unsupported Macs Thread

[killsapo]

Have you also tried deleting preferences altogether? It seems to be behavior caused by various corruptions in one's Home/Library/ (in Preferences, Containers, Containers Group folder, ecc…) than a System bug. And certainly these behaviors are never related to OCLP and whether a Mac is supported or unsupported.
But I would be happy to be wrong.
In cases like this, fortunately for me very rare for 24 years with Mac OS X and macOS, when a deletion of the preferences and perhaps also of respective folders in /Home/Library/Application Support/ doesn't work, I preferred to always remedy on a System clean reinstallation from scratch.

thanks for your reply... I’ll try that (I’m not into that deep cleaning thing on this mac… so I’ll just pass on a full reinstall ), the behavior started as soon as I upgraded to sonoma. Could it be a permission related problem?
anyway I’ll try with some preferences file to see how it works out

eh.. true.. but really too much of a hassle at this point. I'll just stay on Monterey till either that issue gets fixed or maybe a year or so after they drop patches for it.

In a couple months.

MBP13.3 OTA updates 14.5 ->14.6.1 via OCLP 1.6n

In a couple monts.

Are you expecting DRM to be fixed?

No, I mean Monterey will be out of support in a couple months. Anyway, be sure I will keep it in one of my Mac Pros 5,1.

I had Sonoma 14.5 with OCLP 1.5. Is it possible that after updating to 14.6.1 with OCLP 1.6n the system has fewer slowdowns, or is it just my impression? The system is the one in my signature.

 

[0134168]

After an upgrade big enough, you have to wait some hours for the system to stabilize. You don´t mention how long you have been running 14.6.1, that´s why I mention it.

Sorry for my English, what I meant is that now the system seems faster to me, whereas before, with 14.5 and oclp 1.5, I experienced more slowdowns, and the fan would often run at full speed. Now, the system seems more stable.
I wanted to know if it’s just my impression, or if it’s due to 14.6 or OCLP 1.6n?

My mistake, sir. You expressed perfect. I understood wrong.

I plan to hold onto a copy of Monterey as long as possible as well. I have one or two apps that just don't like Sonoma, and it's not an open core issue, it's the apps simply have issues with anything newer than Ventura it seems like I could use Ventura, but, if I can do what I need with Monterey and maybe a dual boot of Linux, I'd rather stay supported OS. This would affect me buying a new mac as well. So, for the time being, if I've learned anything from using and trying OCLP, it's that I am better off with an older Mac / macOS version for the stability and compatibility I'm looking for, or using a different platform.

 

[0134168]

For coding and apps that require a good GPU support, it´s unbeatable on Mac Pros 5,1 , as Monterey does not require any patch.

@******* Let us know when you have the latest Xcode running in Monterey and I'll stay there with you!

Can´t tell you. Don´t use it.

In my particular case, I mainly use XCode simply for the unix tools that would be natively package in a BSD, or Linux distribution, so that's why choosing that as an alternative makes more sense for me. Running Sonoma when I've tried it a few times, works well unless I need something specific, or in my situation as well, I just have older software that still works well for me, but in general doesn't always translate well into modern Apple vs older Apple.

Mac Pro 3,1:
Updated 14.6 -> 14.6.1 without any problems, OCLP root patches for metal (Nvidia) and connectivity (USB1.1, BT, Wifi) work fine.

I'm on a 11,4 14.5 and just updated to OCLP 1.50 a few days ago. I haven't posted or read this thread in a while and wanted to know if going to 14.6.1 causes problems. Right now all has been good---I rarely get panics anymore.

From all the reports I've read / seen, it seems safe to update.

I'm on a MacbookPro 8.1 (late 2011, non metal), upgraded to Sonoma 14.6.1 with OCLP 1.5. Everything seems to be working fine with the limitations of the non metal graphic card. With WhatsApp I have experienced that Video Calls dont work completely as I can see the image from my webcam but I can´t see the image from the other person in the call, black screen. Is this a limitation of my mac or could I do anything to solve it? Has anyone experienced this issue before? Thanks!

I ran it briefly but when I found out I couldn't watch my purchased content in TV app so I reloaded stock Monterey..

Installed with OCLP 1.50, no problem. Still usable after all these years.

Please forgive me if I'm not in the right post.

I'm ready to install Sonoma, 1.5.0 OpenCore. I know there' s a patch for 1.1 USB keyboard.

Is it possible it still might work?

You should try the OCLP discord for help with OCLP or the Sonoma on unsupported Macs thread. This thread is for manually configured OpenCore.

 

[MacinMan]

Hey all, anyone know why I would be seeing this on a supported configuration? I'm asking here because usually it's open core legacy patcher and an unsupported OS that makes Silent Knight put up a red X. However, I'm currently running Monterey as shown in screenshots, so not sure why I'm getting an X. If anyone knows how to fix this, pleas let me know. Thanks.

"Lack of internal mouse/keyboard" - External could work like in the previous versions i assume. At your on risk!

Nope. This is the Sonoma on Unsupported Macs thead, are you lost? 👀
