So I ended up with a 2011 Mac Mini "Server" Core i7 2.0GHz, 750GB HDD, 128GB SSD, 16GB RAM. I was having some OSX issues out of the box, like it not recognising the Admin password in some parts of system preferences etc, small things.. Then it got stuck in an endless boot loop, which was frustrating. Managed to reset the PRAM & NVRAM & then nothing. Managed to get it into recovery mode so I could reinstalled OSX, it was offering Lion, that was fine, then it gave me the error "not all components could be downloaded" okay, so i'll just create a bootable copy of OSX like I have done in the past. This is where I run into issues, so the latest version of OSX I can run on this is High Sierra, no problems, i'll just get a USB drive & get the installer from Apple, nope, it doesn't exist in the Mac AppStore any more. Okay, my next step was to get the .DMG from Apple of High Sierra & create a bootable via terminal, that didn't work either. Now I have managed to create a bootabale USB drive from inside Windows, but whilst it is recognised on my MacBook Air, it's not recognised by the Mac Mini when I try & use it to boot from at start up by holding down option, and I can't get it to boot from it on my MacBook Air so I can install it on an external SSD, i've run out of ideas on how to get OSX back on this Mac Mini. I've run out of ideas. All I want to do is install High Sierra onto this damn thing so I can use it, it shouldn't be difficult but it turning out to be...

Here are the ones listed from Apple's doc: AMD Radeon RX 560 AMD Radeon RX 570 AMD Radeon RX 580 AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 AMD Radeon Frontier Edition Will they all work fine with Metal? There was a section that specifies a specific model, but I wonder if anything changed in the last decade I'm helping a co-worker due to Teradici (PcoIP) version 20.04 not working on his Mac Pro running on High Sierra.

I have a MacBook Pro (Early 2013) running macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.6) and my webcam is malfunctioning. When I turn it on, regardless of the program (ie. Zoom, Skype, PhotoBooth, etc.), there are green/white/black/red lines distorting the image (here's what it looks like). The problem started after I downloaded the "GoPro Webcam" driver. I uninstalled it but that didn't fix it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

I am having some weird issues with wifi connectivity on my 2015 Retina MBP 15". I moved to a new house and the wifi has been pretty poor so far- verizon had to reset our box and stuff because it couldn't hold a connection. It seems to be resolved now, though, and every other device in the house including my iPhone is connecting without issue. My mac, on the other hand, sees the SSID but times out trying to join it. I've tried all of the usual things- restarting the computer, restarting the router, etc. The weirdest part is that it's ONLY our new wifi- I went to a coffee shop and it hopped on just fine, so I know it's not an issue with the wifi chip or anything. I tried removing the network from iCloud keychain, running Mac Diagnostics, everything in the book and I can't seem to figure it out. All of my friends' windows machines and even my other roomatte's mac are working fine on the network.

Hi there, I recently discovered that my mouse sensitivity on hackintosh Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3 does not save after reboot, which is very annoying. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I'm using a MX Master on Hackintosh with the usb I got from it (which directly connects to the mouse). Thank you in advance!

Dear Sir / Madam, I'm trying to dual boot my pc with mac os high sierra 10.13 and windows 10. I managed to install mac os on a seperate drive. The issue I then ran into was not being able to boot without my mac install usb. I fixed this by copying the entire efi folder and replacing it with the efi folder on my boot drive. So now my pc can boot on it's own into mac os. The next issue is installing gpu drivers. I ran into many issues. One of them being getting a black screen. I tried to fix this using the following tutorial: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-failure-nvidia-web-driver-on-high-sierra-black-screen-panics.234390/ The thing is after messing with my RT-variables my pc cannot boot. It renders a bunch of text to the screen on boot and then the last line is attempting to reboot (see attachment). Does anyone have any idea? I tried to get some answers on tonymac but my post has been there for 2 weeks without any replies (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/reboot-while-booting-after-installing-gpu-drivers.269592/) Thank you in advance. My pc specs: * i7 8700k * MSI z370 gaming m5 * gtx 1080 ti

Hey, i installed a hackintosh on my windows machine as a virtual machine. I used this tutorial which was pretty easy. Unfortunately facetime isn't working which was the main reason i installed it. I don't really know what to do to get it running. If you need further information i'll happily provide it. Any help is much appreciated. I assumed that the Serial Number is the problem so i used clover to generate different ones. I tried a few. Nothing worked. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everyone, I've used my GF's 2011 MacBookPro to download an original copy of High Sierra. I'd like to make the corresponding .app file bootable so as to be able to use it in unRAID. I've followed this tutorial and it works fine, except for the part where my GF's Mac is running OS X Lion and therefore does not like/support newer MacOS images such as this one. It is on the desktop, but it seems I can't use the Install Disk Creator software because once I've selected the High Sierra .app file, the icon is crossed and clicking on the "Create Installer" nothing happens. In case this helps, I also have a laptop under Windows 10, should you know of any solution requiring Windows. Could someone please give me a hand in making this file bootable from unRAID (it's supposed to end up as a .img or .dmg file) Thanks a lot in advance. Oscar

I tried to change my username of my user and I accidentally clicked cancel instead of confirm, so i only have guest and standard users. Now I'm trying to give admin privileges back to my standard user and I need the password to the "superuser/root" user. Directory Utility and Terminal shows the password as a single character, shown as a *, and Directory Utility shows * with a data value of "2a".

Hello, I got my hands on a Macbook Air 2012 13" and I want to get a USB to ethernet adapter for it. I tried this one and it didn't work with latest OSX. https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-USB3GIG/ I recently found this one at around 20 dollars and it seems it has a driver for 10.13. Have you guys tried it? https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5523_TL-UE300.html Do you guys know any other USB to Ethernet (gigabit) adapter that works without problems and out of the box on OSX High Sierra (10.13) ? Thanks

I am the proud owner of a dual-boot MacOS and Windows system, and I recently got a new monitor. It's a Lenovo Y27G, and even though it has been panned as having horrible value, I bought it because the price dropped to half MSRP. Anyway, it's got all the bells and whistles. Among them is a 3-port USB 3.0 hub. Sick, right? Never had one on a monitor, so I was excited. I plugged my mouse, keyboard, and webcam into it and was ready to rock n' roll. I said, "Let's gooooo!" and fired her up, only to crash 20 seconds after boot. Boo. I think I saw something about MacOS having a hard cap of USB ports, but FR? a crash? If there's any way I can fix this, I'd love to be able to do so. It works just fine in Windows, so it's software, and it's MacOS's fault. EDIT: I forgot to attach the crash report. It's attached now. Also, the hub crashed my system only when it's plugged in during startup, with or without devices connected to it. MacOS USB Hub Crash Report.rtf EDIT 2: Apparently it was the USB port it was plugged into. MacOS must have beef with USB 3.1. The 3.0 port works fine. Case closed, ig. lol I have no idea why though. Perhaps someone could shed some light...

Am on my 2nd macbook 12 now. My first was a gold 2016 model and my current is 2017 model. On both laptops and on all versions of macos from Sierra to High Sierra have noticed that more often than not when you begin to type in any field in the safari browser, it glitches and constantly over types the first character until you physically click on the field you are typing in and then proceed to type. It doesn't happen in any other installed browsers and doesnt happen on the Macbook Pro either To summarise this seems to be an over Typing issue with Macbook 12 models within Safari. Anyone else observed this behaviour?

Hi! I’m using a 2010 MBP currently with Sierra again. I got the laptop without a hard drive. Thanks to my friend I was able to get a bootable USB with High Sierra on it. I put an SSD in and the installation went fine! After setting it up, I went through the settings and noticed that under “settings” the trackpad settings were not available. It says “connect trackpad” even though I’m using it and it works fine and is clicky. the laptop had a bloaded battery before, so several people online suggested that the inability to access trackpad settings is due to potential damage to trackpad ribbon cable. Because I didn’t like the performance on this 2010 machine, I downgraded to Sierra which I installed freshly, no backup used. After setting Sierra up, I did get into the trackpad settings and were able to customize the three and four finger gestures. Now I have 8gb of ram in it and thinking of upgrading to HS again through the app store this time though. Not via bootable usb. Will the trackpad settings be available after the upgrade to High Sierra? Why weren’t they in the first place? The ribbon cable seems fine, since it works under Sierra. anyone experienced a similar issue? Or would you even suggesting upgrading to HS or staying on Sierra? 2010 MBP, 248GB SSD, 2,4 GH, 8GB ram. Thanks very much!

Hello ya'll, Lets just say I recently got an Early 2008 Mac Pro at a E-Waste collection center for € 100, before I hear "It is broken". It isn't and works with its current install of Snow Leopard & Random Windows 10 HDD. Since Apple doesn't officially support this specific device anymore I used dosdude1's patcher. What I noticed is the Mac Pro refuses to detect the flash drive created on my Early 2015 MacBook Air running High Sierra. After trying multiple USB Flashdrives I decided to see if the MBA would find the USB & boot into the installer, sure enough it detects it (While holding alt right after POST) and boots into it. Installation is still not verified since I'm not replacing my current install on that machine, only fully updated Mac I have. Here is the TL;DR I have tried multiple USB Flashdrives with a patched High Sierra on it, all of them using the GUID Partition Table & HFS+ Journaled. I'm using this one from DOSDude1 All the ones I created work on another more recent Mac, but fail to even be recognized on my Mac Pro. Anyone who can help me out? When it turns out it just isn't possible I'd also be happy running Windows 10 on it, but I ain't giving up on it just yet. If you'd need all I did since I got my hands on it .. here .. you .. go : My personal guess is that this is a software problem and not something wrong with the Mac Pro's hardware.What I did before attempting this install, I traced back all my steps. Fully clean the machine before attempting this clean install, added an NVIDIA Quadro FX1800 (It works under Snow Leopard). What I didn't add is more RAM, but it seems like it has an extra 4GB's right of the getgo.What I also tried is running on the default 4x 512MB RAM, 1 HDD (WD Green Made in +-2012) with the AMD GPU that came with the thing. (It displays heavy artifact meaning it is on its last legs. Anyhow, I'm praying on the LTT community being the way it has always been towards me and hopefully finding my very obvious user error. - Sfekke Sidenote : I also posted this on MacRumors .. but thought it wouldn't hurt to post it here as well. If I get an answer over there, I'll make sure to let ya'll know what exactly did the trick

As the title suggests, anyone had a reason (or desire) to downgrade / dual boot to High Sierra? I work from home a lot myself and use MacBooks to conduct my work. After Apple upgraded the plugin security requirements in Safari 12, and as a result busted the Citrix plugin In a nutshell even with the latest Citrix Receiver (workspace) client, you can't launch certain Citrix sessions in the native client on Safari 12 / Mojave https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2018/08/03/npapi-support-is-being-removed-from-safari-12/ Basically I had to install High Sierra on my machines as a workaround for this and prevent automatic updates so the browser version was kept at 11 But back on topic, again... does anyone else have a requirement / need / desire to keep running High Sierra?
