Jessie // Do you know some Browser available to use with Snow Leopard in order to have the OS Installed ? The problem is Snow Leopard is the best Mac OS X System but I cannot use it because there is not any available browser working properly with this system . I have tried many of them and they are not working at all !! Any solution about this please ???? Thanks
Jessie...15:17 literally saved me from throwing my cMP into the Chesapeake Bay! I have been wracking my brains trying to get the Hardware Acceleration to work on this cMP. I gave up on my old Nvidia Quadros and upgraded to an AMC Radeon (Pixlas Mod) 6900XT and while faster and stronger, still, no HWA for H264, but yes for HEVC. And I could never get my DRM content to play, so I lived with it for a very long time. The last several hours I played with the new OCLP and tried some settings, even adjusted my spoof level to none and bricked my installation. I had to start all over. So after getting back up with Monterey 12.6.6, I started looking into Martin Lo's OCP to solve this issue. and sure enough, nothing worked. Nothing against them, I was trying to "cross pollinate" MLOCP with OCLP. It just doesn't work. After leaving the Mac Rumor forums, I'd just about given up for the night. I watched a great video from Joerg Hennignes of Open Core, and his great great videos on using MLOCP, and I was preparing to do a full MLOCP, already missing my wonderful experience with the OCLP, and then...I saw this guide up next on the YT queue Jessie's Flying for Unsupported Macs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial and I landed on 15:17. It was too good to be true. I said, well, why not. I had just given up for the night, but rebooted my cMP, and tried 'Revert Root Patches'. Well, wouldn't you know it. It worked!!! I now have H264 and HEVC Hardware Acceleration and FINALLY DRM content that actually works! So Jessie, keep flying, my friend! Thank you very much for your work and making my night, and my work day tomorrow, even better! All the best to you and yours! God Bless! ~ MJ
I watched a handful of videos before this that were WAY too much information. This presentation is the most straightforward and to the point while still offering the necessary information. Thank you.
This is a n excellent guide. Thank you for taking the time to make it insightful but pretty simple for beginners. EVERYONE who needs to install an OS on an unsupported Mac should watch this. Waiting on news to see how the guys hopefully find a workaround for Ventura and the cheesegrater. and YES YES YES a live session will be awesome
This is THE BEST video so far I've seen around this topic (and I've seen plenty, gone into the rabbit hole of mac forums). ALL my questions and doubts were answered, like if you were reading my mind! 🤯. The only question I would have is sometimes when I'm on the bootloader menu and click on EFI, it doesn't "enter" to the "sub-menu" where the installer is, it just shows again the whole bootloader menu. Any idea in what would be happening? I have saved this video already and FOR SURE will come back again and use it as my Bible. Again, THANKS SO MUCH for putting this video!! 🙌🏼
Thank you for your kind words - that means a lot to me! Sharing is appreciated ;-) But I never heard about your error that OpenCore doesn't load when you click on EFI Boot. Maybe do a NRAM reset and see if that happens again...
@@JessiesFlying I did all the process as you describe in this video, and after weeks (literally) of searching everywhere, trying everything, now my Mac Pro 5.1 is running the latest version of Monterey! 🙌🏼 Everything's working perfectly (so far). Just two quick questions. I checked on System Report that SIP is disabled (I used the "lowered" option when creating the boot as you mentioned), so my question is if I should enable it back and if I should do it on terminal on recovery mode or if there's a way to do it through OCLP? Another quick question, do you know why if I have two monitors connected to a Radeon RX 560 (DVI & HDMI) I can't see the boot loader menu, but if I have just one connected (DVI) I can see it? 🤔 Thanks again for everything! I'm following you know for your brilliantly simple but powerful advice!
@@javmb you have to enable SIP in the settings of the OpenCore Legacy patcher and reinstall it to your boot disk, otherwise if you enable it via terminal it will automatically being disabled next boot again. When your Mac boots try pressing arrow left and right, this should disable the automatic selection of your macOS and show the OpenCore Boot selector (it’s normally just because it waits only 1 second and your screen doesn’t show it). 👍🚀
So delighted to come across this channel. I have been stuck on the floor with my 5,1 Mac Pro trying to get it to start. Now I know why I could not do it. Great channel.
Thank you to the Hackintosh developers and the Hackintosh community for making this possible over the years. Opencore was first developed for Hackintosh. Later for real Macs, too. Without Hackintosh on Intel PC and AMD PC - no Opencore. This is the state of affairs! Best regards from my Hackintosh
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. Yesterday I finally upgraded my Mac Pro 5,1 from Mojave (RX580) to Monterey with OCLP 1.2.1 and it was a joy. Took quite some time but all went well. Thank you so much for the detailed guides, and great advices on the channel 🙏💪🔥
This is an important video, and I thank you for it, but I do need make one correction. If I understood you correctly, you said that RAM cannot be upgraded on a 2010 Mac mini. Actually there is socketed RAM on all Mac minis, other than the 2014 and the M1. Specifically with the 2010 through 2012 Minis, the upgrade is very easy, and the machines can address as much as 16 GB.
You’re right, I was not clear enough in my video: Apple didn’t plan that you change the RAM and it needs a little bit of technical knowledge, but it is possible!
I installed Monterey on a 2011 21.5 iMac two days ago and I'm a first timer Mac user and I'm impressed, if I would try to install win10 or 11 on a 10 year old pc that wouldn't even boot😆 I do a lot off CAD in work and I do a lot of it home as well for 3D printing so I needed a "new" all in one computer in my garage that could handle it and the iMac was so cheap that I thought why not test it and so far it have handle everything very well☺️ I do most off my Cads on my new iPad but it have always bean a hassle to get the files to the pc for slicing but not now☺️
@@JessiesFlying yeah,I don't know why it took so long to get a Mac😂 I've bean using windows since win3.11😆 I have "everything" els from apple so😆 but shouldn't the iMac snap up if I play a song or so on my iPhone like my iPad dose?🤔 Apple Music? Apple TV+ doesn't work but I guess it's because I have the ATI 6750m gpu
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well): I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey). Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video) Here’s my questions: 1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever... 2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "? 3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again? Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically… Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly. Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Hey I was asking about since I have upgraded to Monterey or bigsur or Catalina my wifi card doesn’t work I mean it works but it doesn’t connect to any networks and when I try to connect to any network it says it was unable to I was using macOS Monterey 12.2 my Mac is a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and an early 2009 iMac and for the oclp I always use the latest version any help would be appreciated
I want you to know. I was stuck on the upgrade. Your video was able to help me work around so I could upgrade Ventura with my late 2014 Macbook Pro 15". It seems to be working fine. many thanks!!
8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP. I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Thank you so very much. Because of your videos on how to install Mac OS Monterey on my old 2010 Mac Pro, I have been able to resurrect that old beast and keep using it. It has been my favorite computer for a long time, and I missed it when I was forced to upgrade my OS by some 3rd party app developer. The videos are wonderful. Thanks again!! 👍
Jesse ROXS. Yes I also jumped from Mojave to Monterey. Weird thing is I held down the option key down forever and never booted. Tried three times on restart and never boot the EFI boot screen. Then I just restarted without holding the option key and the darn EFI boot screet popped ??, anyhow thank you Jesse.
At just before 10:00 on the video, I was able to select the upwards arrow for EFI Boot, then I saw the 'Install MacOS Monterey' icon, but no upwards arrow. It appeared for a second then there was a white circle with a backslash, then the Mac turned off.
Just wiggle left and right arrow during boot, this interrupts auto-selection of OpenCore. But make sure you keep OPTION pressed and select EFI Boot first!
@@JessiesFlying OK, so now I got further. I was able to select the 'Install macOS Monterey' icon. I then see the Apple logo, but instead of getting the screen where I can select to upgrade, it takes me straight to the first screen of agreeing to the license. Then on the second screen, it freezes when attempting to pair the bluetooth keyboard.
@@kieranwright6346 that’s weird, it should bring you directly to the recovery menu where you can select either harddisk utility or installing Monterey… 🤔
Dankeschön, perfekte Anleitung, besser geht es nicht, ich bin begeistert, mein „altes MacBook Pro Late 2014“ auf Ventura geupdatet und danach das kleine Problem mit der Grafikkarte auch noch gelöst…..
I struggled to update or upgrade my iMac for many many years because of Apple's obsoletism. Now this is the real ultimate tutorial that will make me stand on, my two feet and get into D.I.Y t and "beat up" Apple!!! Thanks.
great tutorial but I am missing a step I do not understand so = Off to purchase a used new model.......I cannot risk losing my music files and video files.... thanks for the help
Thanks a lot Jessie! I now can use my MacPro 4,1 (2009 ex 4,1) with OCLP 0.6.8 and Ventura 13.6 and it works perfect from a NVME-Drive and a Radeon RX 590 RX. USB-3-PCI is working, had to reset some rights on the other Harddrives, but bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, not a lot difference in speed coming from Catalina. Could also change the Icons in dock to my favorites and im really happy. Never could use Handoff, Airdrop and now I can use all the features from my watch also. Thanks for all the good advice and also the boot-trick with my PC-GPU. 🧡🙏🙌

Brilliant and helpful video on how to give our brilliant but ageing Mac's a few more years of useful life. Otherwise have to convert them all to running Unix!
Great channel! Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!
Am trying to connect to smart tv The cable I used was “1 side thunderbolt &the other side is hdmi” not detected. Is there any process that I need to activate thunderbolt drive or …
I saw little bit old this great video didn’t reply to me. I stuck in the middle since once I updated to Ventura, I don’t see OS X Yosemite which he follows in the step. 🙏 again
Thank you so much, this works for my 2015 Macbook, I have Ventura working with almost no problems *knock on wood*. The only problem is that my toolbars and most text is WAY TOO SMALL. I put on some reading glasses and still it is tiny. I was able to make the folders on my desktop larger, but not the upper toolbar and the dock. Any way to fix this please? Or is my only option to go back to an older version of OS?
Thanks a lot you helped me install monterey on my mac pro 2012 without the official mac display card,I'm just having the wifi problem and I spent hours trying to fix it with no luck,the open core patch twice method didn't work I can see the wifi is on and when try to join manually and enter the ssid and password it also refuses to connect .

@@JessiesFlying Thanks a lot for the reply , I'm using the default broadcom module that came with my 5.1 mid 2012 . I don't know if this info is usefull but the bluetooth is working fine
@@uncleswing4046 maybe try a core keyboard? You have to get into some boot selector to be able to select OpenCore… 🤔 or remove all harddisks and see if it boots OpenCore from a prepared USB drive…
Hi Jessie I installed Monterey on my 2012 Mac Pro and sometimes my wired mouse won’t work but the biggest problem is that my iLok is not recognized…the light on it seems to be flashing and not solid.
Great video Marcus and very easy to understand your explanations and instructions. I have a 2009 iMac which I upgraded last year using Dos-Dude Catalina tool, and assume I can now use Open Core to get me to Monterey and beyond -- thanks in advance for the help. Also a you-tube session sounds interesting to further the conversation of unsupported Macs.
Help!! My old apps such as Final cut pro, garage band, etc won't run on upgraded Os Ventura, even if I install newest versions, the system won't support them and they'll crash 😭😭😭😭
@@JessiesFlying Ok, I tested it now and it says that I don't have H264 hardware acceleration. I did Revert Root Patches and reset NVRAM. Any ideas what I should try next? I do have HEVC hardware acceleration available though. My setup is Mac Pro 5,1, Monterey 12.6.3 and AMD RX580. It's not your problem and you don't have to help me more than you already did but if you have any tips, I would like to hear them.
@@Frank72364 if you plan to use RX580 in a MacPro 5,1 don’t do a root patch! I would recommend a clean install of Monterey with OCLP and you should have both accelerations… you can also try Martin Lo’s MacPro package
@@JessiesFlying tried that. It shows everything enabled. Watching the gpu usage while working in premiere shows little to no gpu usage. Radeon rx580 in 5,1 Mac w/ big sur.
Also the problem with the display port on NVidea metal cards (MacPro 5.1) which stops the picture put through after going to sleep and doesn’t come back when waken up? The patcher doesn’t solve this problem.
Great video, but I can’t get the boot picker so I can do the efi boot. I have tried with every key combination I could find, never happened. Any ideas thanks. Mine has ssd and 16 ram upgrades on Catalina
Ah @ 14:21 there is the info on WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity I was hoping for. The Hashwell is a must for Ventura but not for Monterey then. MB pro 2012 not good but MB 2013 is good.
@@JessiesFlying I want to do a uefi win 10 install on single nvme boot drive that already has high sierra and also monterey done via OCLP... is it Safe to install windows on the nvme as long as its booted Thru the opencore booter? does this prevent any certificate issues from corrupting bootrom? i want windows on that nvme and cant seem to get a legacy install possible unless i do it as UEFI... any help appreciated...the whole 4,1-5,1 bootrom corruption threads had me worried...I would think open core with secureboot option OFF should prevent this..what are ur thoughts?
@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jesse! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for ur latest vids....Have you had any experience with martin lo's premade efi for the 5,1? supposedly, its all set ready to roll and has a Ton of extra perks added in including windows uefi install protection for bootrom against secure boot certificates... ive done the OCLP monterey on my 5,1 and monterey works incredibly good.. However, i wanted to try martins EFI and swapped out the OCLP efi of the usb installer with his efi.. it booted high sierra no issue but the boot screen froze when trying to boot monterey.. do u know if its compatible?
Hi Jessie Sorry for such a long message. I have an early 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 with 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, Sapphire Radeon RX580, 8gb GPU, MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6. I have tried upgrading Mojave to Monterey using OpenCore Legacy Patcher version 0.6.4. I had to remove the Sapphire Radeon RX580 and install the legacy Mac graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT120) 512 MB in order to see the ‘Boot screen’. OpenCore Legacy Patcher installed the drivers for the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ during the upgrade/installation of Monterey. I can boot up and login to Monterey using the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ however, when I shutdown the machine and install Sapphire Radeon RX580 card, It starts as normal showing the loading screen with apple logo and about 30% during the progress bar, the fans on the RX580 card stop and the screen goes black. If I shut down and install the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ it then boots in to Monterey without any issues. I presume the issue is that ‘OpenCore Legacy Patcher’ has not installed the drives for the RX580 card and therefore is preventing graphic acceleration. In ‘OpenCore Legacy Patcher’ I click on ‘Revert Root Patches’, shutdown, install the RX580 card and booted, however, the screen still goes black. I have also tried to adjust the ‘SMBIOS Spoof Level’ to ‘Minimal’ shutdown, install the RX580 card and boot, however, the screen still goes black. When I revert to the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ the ‘SMBIOS Spoof Level’ is back to Normal. I have also tried the reinstall / upgrade to Monterey several times. I think the ‘Revert Root Patches’ seems the logical thing to solve the problem, however, I am worried I am not doing something correctly. Are you able to describe the process in a little more detail as to how you ‘Revert Root Patches’ and at what stage you swop the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ and install the RX580 card?
Ok, no problem 😂 try the following: Install Mac GPU and only the system harddisk and the boot USB drive. Make sure you keep ctrl pressed when selecting EFI Boot in apple boot selector to make it standard boot (logo changes to a circle). Start Monterey installer, delete harddisk and restarts. Make sure it automatically boots into OpenCore. Then shut it down and swap GPU. Then it should automatically boot into OpenCore again, but with RX580. Then install Monterey…. 👍
@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jessie. In the end, I installed 'RefindPlus Boot Manager' which allowed me to boot into the OpenCore Patcher USB with the RX580 card and then install Monterey. All works fine.

In my new m1 macbook pro, although I don't have an application called mcafee on my computer, the system started sending virus notifications with the prefereences icon! I don't recommend it to anyone. If you're going to install it, I suggest you get a new Apple ID that you'll just use for it.
@@neosupperolddesigner I never had any problems or warnings about viruses. Unfortunately you cannot go back, but you can do recovery to an older macOS (with wiping harddisk first)…
I have followed all of the steps. First, changed the SMBIOS level to moderate. Next, select EFI boot, Select the drive, and then I receive the following.

hey , thanks a lot , man, this tutorial really helped, after installing macOS ventura using open core , everything looks fine and working , except that my Mac is a little bit slow , specially when using internet /TH-cam ... the main reason for this update was to download Logic Pro x , because apple requires at least macOS ventura to use ... do you recommend using different macOS's , one supported and one not in my two SSDs ? if yes , how should I operate this ? thanks
I’ve tried a free install of Monterey 4 times now. I still get “ Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged. Redownload the installer and try again.” I have a Late 2013 MBP 15inch full specs. Please help. Don’t know what else’s to do
I've gotten my 5,1 macpro update to Monterey using your tips. But now my legit version of Final Cut Pro isn't working and I can't seem to update it without updating OS to 13.4 or higher

Very helpful video I just installed Big Sur on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro using OCLP and it’s working great. Devs have done an amazing job How can I check if need to remove root patch to confirm whether or not my hardware acceleration is on? It had the Nvidia 9400M graphics card
Hi, congratulations for the tutorials, very clear and well done. I have a question to ask. I have successfully installed Monterey on a Mac Pro 5.1 2010 with its original card (GT 120), and then ask how can I connect multiple monitors to the mac? I tried with a Radeon Pulse 580 but it is not compatible with Monterey. how to solve the problem? Thank you Ugo
very helpful video! but i have problem. I install ventura to unsupported mac (mac mini) but the graphics are very slow. Is it possible to roll back with clean install of Monterey latest version? (I want to remove all settings from OpenCore Legacy too)
Having trouble with boot loader, for some reason when i take out the usb drive it will enter , however when i try to load off the usb drive it wont enter the load screen. Any ideas?
I created the USB Installer disk, disconnected all other drives accept my 1TB NVME SSD drive, start the install, but it keeps starting back at the "Install OS Monteray". Like it keeps starting over.

Thank You for your replay. I did usb installer creation through opencore legacy. But used disk utility to format usb before. Regarding administrator’s right I am using gui and not terminal, so I guess so because it is asking my administrator password to proceed.
What if i am outside of tha mac (not signed in because i just bought it 2nd hand and was factory reset ,2015 imac) not accepting bootable usb ahowing up but not installing at all
I have a 2013 14,1 iMac. When I select the open core from the boot loader selection, I get a 🚫 symbol. And then the Mac shuts off. The iMac has had a factory reset and it is currently running Yosemite. It is journaled. I don't know what I am doing wrong
I would recommend updating it as high as officially possible (at least High Sierra) to get all firmware updates done. Yosemite might be too old for OpenCore🤔 Did you try NVRAM reset?
@@JessiesFlying Thank you. So you are suggesting that I start with High Sierra and move up from there? Yes, I performed a NVRAM reset. The iMac was unable to see the links to the "Assets" on GitHub so I airdropped the link from my MacBook Air. (I didn't have a flashdrive on hand.)
Great tutorial. Many thanks. One question though. I did a clean installation of Monterey successfully onto my Apple HDD, but the 'upgrade' installation onto an external Samsung SSD failed. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your great tutorial. I have an iMac (early 2009) running El Capitan. I tried to instal Monterey following your instructions (UNSUPPORTED MACs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial!). First I installed Open Core. As the option for updating didn't show, a modified the SMBIOS as you said. Now I got the prohibitory symbol when I try to boot. I have already tried all combinations Key to access Recovery without success. What can I do? Do you think I lost my iMac?
Hello, have you tried to boot with NVRAM reset? Hold cntrl or alt+cmd+R+P while you power on. Wait for two chimes and then release the keys. As annoying as it is it works on my 5,1 cheese grater.

Jessie...15:17 literally saved me from throwing my cMP into the Chesapeake Bay! I have been wracking my brains trying to get the Hardware Acceleration to work on this cMP. I gave up on my old Nvidia Quadros and upgraded to an AMC Radeon (Pixlas Mod) 6900XT and while faster and stronger, still, no HWA for H264, but yes for HEVC. And I could never get my DRM content to play, so I lived with it for a very long time. The last several hours I played with the new OCLP and tried some settings, even adjusted my spoof level to none and bricked my installation. I had to start all over. So after getting back up with Monterey 12.6.6, I started looking into Martin Lo's OCP to solve this issue. and sure enough, nothing worked. Nothing against them, I was trying to "cross pollinate" MLOCP with OCLP. It just doesn't work. After leaving the Mac Rumor forums, I'd just about given up for the night. I watched a great video from Joerg Hennignes of Open Core, and his great great videos on using MLOCP, and I was preparing to do a full MLOCP, already missing my wonderful experience with the OCLP, and then...I saw this guide up next on the YT queue Jessie's Flying for Unsupported Macs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial and I landed on 15:17. It was too good to be true. I said, well, why not. I had just given up for the night, but rebooted my cMP, and tried 'Revert Root Patches'. Well, wouldn't you know it. It worked!!! I now have H264 and HEVC Hardware Acceleration and FINALLY DRM content that actually works! So Jessie, keep flying, my friend! Thank you very much for your work and making my night, and my work day tomorrow, even better! All the best to you and yours! God Bless! ~ MJ
Great to be able to help! I would really appreciate if you can advertise my video / channel on all your communities to help me grow 😊
I watched a handful of videos before this that were WAY too much information. This presentation is the most straightforward and to the point while still offering the necessary information. Thank you.
Thank you, you’re welcome! Sharing appreciated😬
Thanks
Thank you so much for your donation (and sorry for the late reply - I didn't see it yet).
This is a n excellent guide. Thank you for taking the time to make it insightful but pretty simple for beginners. EVERYONE who needs to install an OS on an unsupported Mac should watch this. Waiting on news to see how the guys hopefully find a workaround for Ventura and the cheesegrater. and YES YES YES a live session will be awesome
We’ll see😬
Thank you for the time you put into helping the rest of us. I couldn’t have done it without your detailed explanation .
You’re very welcome ☺️
Congratulations on your channel, it’s neat, clear thoughts 💭 and very precise.
Thx! 😬
Amazing tutorial, just what I needed to give my 2010 Mac Pro a new lease of life. Thanks for the great work !
Thx!
This is THE BEST video so far I've seen around this topic (and I've seen plenty, gone into the rabbit hole of mac forums). ALL my questions and doubts were answered, like if you were reading my mind! 🤯. The only question I would have is sometimes when I'm on the bootloader menu and click on EFI, it doesn't "enter" to the "sub-menu" where the installer is, it just shows again the whole bootloader menu. Any idea in what would be happening? I have saved this video already and FOR SURE will come back again and use it as my Bible. Again, THANKS SO MUCH for putting this video!! 🙌🏼
Thank you for your kind words - that means a lot to me! Sharing is appreciated ;-) But I never heard about your error that OpenCore doesn't load when you click on EFI Boot. Maybe do a NRAM reset and see if that happens again...
@@JessiesFlying I did all the process as you describe in this video, and after weeks (literally) of searching everywhere, trying everything, now my Mac Pro 5.1 is running the latest version of Monterey! 🙌🏼 Everything's working perfectly (so far). Just two quick questions. I checked on System Report that SIP is disabled (I used the "lowered" option when creating the boot as you mentioned), so my question is if I should enable it back and if I should do it on terminal on recovery mode or if there's a way to do it through OCLP?
Another quick question, do you know why if I have two monitors connected to a Radeon RX 560 (DVI & HDMI) I can't see the boot loader menu, but if I have just one connected (DVI) I can see it? 🤔
Thanks again for everything! I'm following you know for your brilliantly simple but powerful advice!
@@javmb you have to enable SIP in the settings of the OpenCore Legacy patcher and reinstall it to your boot disk, otherwise if you enable it via terminal it will automatically being disabled next boot again.
When your Mac boots try pressing arrow left and right, this should disable the automatic selection of your macOS and show the OpenCore Boot selector (it’s normally just because it waits only 1 second and your screen doesn’t show it). 👍🚀
So delighted to come across this channel. I have been stuck on the floor with my 5,1 Mac Pro trying to get it to start. Now I know why I could not do it. Great channel.
thx!
Thank you to the Hackintosh developers and the Hackintosh community for making this possible over the years. Opencore was first developed for Hackintosh. Later for real Macs, too. Without Hackintosh on Intel PC and AMD PC - no Opencore. This is the state of affairs! Best regards from my Hackintosh
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. Yesterday I finally upgraded my Mac Pro 5,1 from Mojave (RX580) to Monterey with OCLP 1.2.1 and it was a joy. Took quite some time but all went well.
Thank you so much for the detailed guides, and great advices on the channel 🙏💪🔥
Thx, you’re welcome!
This is an important video, and I thank you for it, but I do need make one correction. If I understood you correctly, you said that RAM cannot be upgraded on a 2010 Mac mini. Actually there is socketed RAM on all Mac minis, other than the 2014 and the M1. Specifically with the 2010 through 2012 Minis, the upgrade is very easy, and the machines can address as much as 16 GB.
You’re right, I was not clear enough in my video: Apple didn’t plan that you change the RAM and it needs a little bit of technical knowledge, but it is possible!
Even tho i have done this a few times on different computers i always play this video. thank you for teaching me this skill.
You’re very welcome!
I installed Monterey on a 2011 21.5 iMac two days ago and I'm a first timer Mac user and I'm impressed, if I would try to install win10 or 11 on a 10 year old pc that wouldn't even boot😆
I do a lot off CAD in work and I do a lot of it home as well for 3D printing so I needed a "new" all in one computer in my garage that could handle it and the iMac was so cheap that I thought why not test it and so far it have handle everything very well☺️ I do most off my Cads on my new iPad but it have always bean a hassle to get the files to the pc for slicing but not now☺️
Great to hear, bringing this old hardware to a use...!
@@JessiesFlying yeah,I don't know why it took so long to get a Mac😂 I've bean using windows since win3.11😆
I have "everything" els from apple so😆 but shouldn't the iMac snap up if I play a song or so on my iPhone like my iPad dose?🤔 Apple Music? Apple TV+ doesn't work but I guess it's because I have the ATI 6750m gpu
you have to search the forums for that, that is too specific for me....
do you see a decline in speed and performance?
@@makovitchkonda3960 just wait for today’s video😬
I’ve watched a lot of tutorials on how to install through opencore and this is by far the best tutorial. Good detail and thankyou.
Thank you so much! Sharing appreciated 😬
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well):
I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey).
Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video)
Here’s my questions:
1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever...
2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "?
3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again?
Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically…
Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
@@JessiesFlying Thanks bro!
For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Great to hear! That’s why I’m doing it! 🚀

8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP.
I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Yes, the installer wipes the whole drive where it is installed on… 😖
Thank you so very much. Because of your videos on how to install Mac OS Monterey on my old 2010 Mac Pro, I have been able to resurrect that old beast and keep using it. It has been my favorite computer for a long time, and I missed it when I was forced to upgrade my OS by some 3rd party app developer. The videos are wonderful. Thanks again!! 👍

Perfect and easy description about using open core legacy patcher.
With my Mac mini 7,1 ( Late 2014) still waiting for Ventura public release.
Keep me updated about your success! 👍😬
Jesse ROXS. Yes I also jumped from Mojave to Monterey. Weird thing is I held down the option key down forever and never booted. Tried three times on restart and never boot the EFI boot screen. Then I just restarted without holding the option key and the darn EFI boot screet popped ??, anyhow thank you Jesse.
You guys are amazing ! My late 2014 iMac retina 27” can be modern again!
😬
Thank-you. my 2010 ,21.5" was easy to upgrade ,...but on wake up, display is scrambled as soon as mouse is movedt
That’s weird, did you try to do root patch twice and then reboot?
At just before 10:00 on the video, I was able to select the upwards arrow for EFI Boot, then I saw the 'Install MacOS Monterey' icon, but no upwards arrow. It appeared for a second then there was a white circle with a backslash, then the Mac turned off.
Just wiggle left and right arrow during boot, this interrupts auto-selection of OpenCore. But make sure you keep OPTION pressed and select EFI Boot first!
@@JessiesFlying OK, so now I got further. I was able to select the 'Install macOS Monterey' icon. I then see the Apple logo, but instead of getting the screen where I can select to upgrade, it takes me straight to the first screen of agreeing to the license. Then on the second screen, it freezes when attempting to pair the bluetooth keyboard.
@@kieranwright6346 that’s weird, it should bring you directly to the recovery menu where you can select either harddisk utility or installing Monterey… 🤔
@@JessiesFlying Maybe it's something to do with holding down the Option key? Should I still be holding it down at this point?
@@kieranwright6346 hold it down until you see the first apple boot selector, then release it and select EFI Boot

Great channel!
Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!

Hi Jessie
Sorry for such a long message.
I have an early 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 with 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, Sapphire Radeon RX580, 8gb GPU, MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6.
I have tried upgrading Mojave to Monterey using OpenCore Legacy Patcher version 0.6.4.
I had to remove the Sapphire Radeon RX580 and install the legacy Mac graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT120) 512 MB in order to see the ‘Boot screen’.
OpenCore Legacy Patcher installed the drivers for the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ during the upgrade/installation of Monterey.
I can boot up and login to Monterey using the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ however, when I shutdown the machine and install Sapphire Radeon RX580 card, It starts as normal showing the loading screen with apple logo and about 30% during the progress bar, the fans on the RX580 card stop and the screen goes black.
If I shut down and install the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ it then boots in to Monterey without any issues.
I presume the issue is that ‘OpenCore Legacy Patcher’ has not installed the drives for the RX580 card and therefore is preventing graphic acceleration.
In ‘OpenCore Legacy Patcher’ I click on ‘Revert Root Patches’, shutdown, install the RX580 card and booted, however, the screen still goes black.
I have also tried to adjust the ‘SMBIOS Spoof Level’ to ‘Minimal’ shutdown, install the RX580 card and boot, however, the screen still goes black. When I revert to the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ the ‘SMBIOS Spoof Level’ is back to Normal.
I have also tried the reinstall / upgrade to Monterey several times.
I think the ‘Revert Root Patches’ seems the logical thing to solve the problem, however, I am worried I am not doing something correctly.
Are you able to describe the process in a little more detail as to how you ‘Revert Root Patches’ and at what stage you swop the ‘legacy Mac graphics card’ and install the RX580 card?
Ok, no problem 😂 try the following: Install Mac GPU and only the system harddisk and the boot USB drive. Make sure you keep ctrl pressed when selecting EFI Boot in apple boot selector to make it standard boot (logo changes to a circle). Start Monterey installer, delete harddisk and restarts. Make sure it automatically boots into OpenCore. Then shut it down and swap GPU. Then it should automatically boot into OpenCore again, but with RX580. Then install Monterey…. 👍
@@JessiesFlying Thanks Jessie. In the end, I installed 'RefindPlus Boot Manager' which allowed me to boot into the OpenCore Patcher USB with the RX580 card and then install Monterey. All works fine.

The patcher is for 2012 and newer models, for older models there are no drivers yet…
for chapter one:
I have 2012 macbook pro retina 8GB. Question on my mind Ventura or Monterey? Monterey is ok but what about Ventura?
My MacBook Pro 2012 (non-retina) runs fine with Ventura👍
@@JessiesFlying
It's nice, but on my new macs I get virus warnings, some glicths on the profile picture on the login screen (on all macs) How can I completely remove this? Or is it too late now?
In my new m1 macbook pro, although I don't have an application called mcafee on my computer, the system started sending virus notifications with the prefereences icon!
I don't recommend it to anyone. If you're going to install it, I suggest you get a new Apple ID that you'll just use for it.
@@neosupperolddesigner I never had any problems or warnings about viruses. Unfortunately you cannot go back, but you can do recovery to an older macOS (with wiping harddisk first)…
@@JessiesFlying what if i format the disk and reinstall it in catalina?
@@neosupperolddesigner should be no problem
I have followed all of the steps. First, changed the SMBIOS level to moderate. Next, select EFI boot, Select the drive, and then I receive the following.
"A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use."
I currently have macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6. Please advise
Which Mac model do you use?

Sorry for the late answer - I was on a military training this week.... You need the ROM 144 for the MacPro, so that might be the problem.
killer video this really helped me!
Great! 😬
hey , thanks a lot , man, this tutorial really helped, after installing macOS ventura using open core , everything looks fine and working , except that my Mac is a little bit slow , specially when using internet /TH-cam ... the main reason for this update was to download Logic Pro x , because apple requires at least macOS ventura to use ... do you recommend using different macOS's , one supported and one not in my two SSDs ? if yes , how should I operate this ? thanks
You can install a different macOS onto a different SSD and just choose in the OpenCore which to boot... 👍
I’ve tried a free install of Monterey 4 times now. I still get “ Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged.
Redownload the installer and try again.” I have a Late 2013 MBP 15inch full specs. Please help. Don’t know what else’s to do
Try a different machine for downloading maybe… 🤔
yay my mid 2014 iMac can support Ventura
I've gotten my 5,1 macpro update to Monterey using your tips. But now my legit version of Final Cut Pro isn't working and I can't seem to update it without updating OS to 13.4 or higher
You would need an older version of Final Cut maybe… check out the procedure here with my iMac 2011:

Very helpful video
I just installed Big Sur on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro using OCLP and it’s working great.
Devs have done an amazing job
How can I check if need to remove root patch to confirm whether or not my hardware acceleration is on?
It had the Nvidia 9400M graphics card
Check out my video for that (look for VideoProc - download link in description: th-cam.com/video/1ndbt6evw54/w-d-xo.html
Hi, congratulations for the tutorials, very clear and well done. I have a question to ask. I have successfully installed Monterey on a Mac Pro 5.1 2010 with its original card (GT 120), and then ask how can I connect multiple monitors to the mac? I tried with a Radeon Pulse 580 but it is not compatible with Monterey. how to solve the problem? Thank you
Ugo
Radeon RX580 is compatible, only apple boot selector is not visible (I myself use it). 👍 details here: th-cam.com/video/mtN8zxGVNwQ/w-d-xo.html
Grazie
very helpful video! but i have problem. I install ventura to unsupported mac (mac mini) but the graphics are very slow. Is it possible to roll back with clean install of Monterey latest version? (I want to remove all settings from OpenCore Legacy too)
Yes, create USB installer of Monterey and boot from it. Then wipe harddisk and install, but data will be lost
Having trouble with boot loader, for some reason when i take out the usb drive it will enter , however when i try to load off the usb drive it wont enter the load screen. Any ideas?
@@tiamontoya8563 maybe not set up the USB drive correctly (no OpenCore installed?)
I created the USB Installer disk, disconnected all other drives accept my 1TB NVME SSD drive, start the install, but it keeps starting back at the "Install OS Monteray". Like it keeps starting over. It doesn't show up like I see in the video. It's not doing the subsequent restart & installs to complete the installation 😢
So how many restarts did it do? It may take 4-5 restarts… and try NVRAM reset. It also might be the NVMe, maybe try installing on a SSD…?
For the chapter 3 section, installing MacOS onto an USB when I select any of the MacOS version that show up to download, the download will go on till around 10% and just freeze and stop responding. Im using a Macbook pro 7,1 from 2010 running OS X
Do you have enough disk space (around 15Gb)? I know that there is a pause in the beginning, after a few minutes it should continue….
@@JessiesFlying I have changed to the newest 0.4.10 opencore and the download has reached 65% so far it hasn’t stopped but when I tried the 1st method of building and installing opencore then rebooting through EFI I got a white circle no entry circle. Im also using a 32gb san disk usb and the macbook was recently reset.
@@sourzebra9289 make sure it really boots OpenCore ☝️ do you see the version number and the afterwards the circle?
@@JessiesFlying Finally got Monterey installed now all i have to do is install opencore onto the hdd and always boot opencore.
@@sourzebra9289 great!
Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorials, they helped me a lot to get some more live out of my 5.1. I still have a problem. Apps do not seem to be able to ask for privacy permissions like microphone, camera, etc... is any option on the patcher to solve that?
Not on macOS 13.3 or newer as SIP has to be disabled
My Macbook Pro late 2011 (8.1) does not support the installation of macOS Monterey
My MacBook Pro 2012 runs Ventura, so Monterey should be possible with OpenCore legacy patcher… 🤔
Thanks man!❤
This is a n excellent guide, i will try it
Thx!
Can I update my opencore hackintosh Monterey to Ventura safely over Settings? Because, the Clover for example is not allowed do that.
Nope, Hackintosh is a totally different story and way to various as if I could give you advice…
awesome. good intro I knew you would find it....
😬
Great video! but, you can upgrade the ram on the mac mini from 2010 to 2014 to 16Gb, th e 2018 till 64Gb.
That’s right 👍
Great video, Thank You very much. I have meet this problem
when installing opencore on usb disk efi, i get an error ocurred! 0:188: execution error: Vplume on disk3s1 failed to mount. If you think the volume is supported but damaged, try the "readOnly" option (1) Please help
Thanks! Did you do the USB installer creation through OpenCore legacy patcher before as well? Maybe redo it and try again or try another usb port or another USB drive… 🤔 do you have administrator rights?
Thank You for your replay. I did usb installer creation through opencore legacy. But used disk utility to format usb before. Regarding administrator’s right I am using gui and not terminal, so I guess so because it is asking my administrator password to proceed.
@@frederiklikaj did you try another USB port or drive?
I tried just one more time and it worked. Thank you
@@frederiklikaj great to hear!
What if i am outside of tha mac (not signed in because i just bought it 2nd hand and was factory reset ,2015 imac) not accepting bootable usb ahowing up but not installing at all
use recovery mode to install latest official macOS, then update
I have a 2013 14,1 iMac. When I select the open core from the boot loader selection, I get a 🚫 symbol.
And then the Mac shuts off. The iMac has had a factory reset and it is currently running Yosemite. It is journaled. I don't know what I am doing wrong
I would recommend updating it as high as officially possible (at least High Sierra) to get all firmware updates done. Yosemite might be too old for OpenCore🤔 Did you try NVRAM reset?
@@JessiesFlying
Thank you.
So you are suggesting that I start with High Sierra and move up from there?
Yes, I performed a NVRAM reset. The iMac was unable to see the links to the "Assets" on GitHub so I airdropped the link from my MacBook Air. (I didn't have a flashdrive on hand.)
@@JessiesFlying from what I understood, I should be able to download directly to the iMac and install it from there, correct.
Again, thank you.
@@jasongarcia4830 yes, you can download Legacy patcher, install on your harddisk and then update macOS 👍
Great tutorial. Many thanks. One question though. I did a clean installation of Monterey successfully onto my Apple HDD, but the 'upgrade' installation onto an external Samsung SSD failed. Any suggestions?
External is always complicated and dependent of the USB controller. Maybe try different USB ports…? 🤔
@@JessiesFlying Thanks. I'll give it a go.
Thanks for your great tutorial. I have an iMac (early 2009) running El Capitan. I tried to instal Monterey following your instructions (UNSUPPORTED MACs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial!). First I installed Open Core. As the option for updating didn't show, a modified the SMBIOS as you said. Now I got the prohibitory symbol when I try to boot. I have already tried all combinations Key to access Recovery without success. What can I do? Do you think I lost my iMac?
But you get to OpenCore boot selector (by selecting EFI boot in apple boot selector)?
@@JessiesFlying Yes, and when I elect it, the signal appears. If I don't click, the computer initializes again and again.
@@mlmalard if you have a USB drive with OCLP you can boot from there and reset SMBIOS settings…
Hello, have you tried to boot with NVRAM reset? Hold cntrl or alt+cmd+R+P while you power on. Wait for two chimes and then release the keys.
As annoying as it is it works on my 5,1 cheese grater.
I just got a free 2008 Mac Pro that I’m trying to fix up. It has dual 4-core 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon CPUs. I’m sure it can run even sonoma using OLCP? I will be putting a RX 570 in it for metal support
With a RX570 for sure 👍
How do I go back to my previous macOS?
You have to do a clean install as Apple has no „way back“… 😩
