 3. How To Install Mavericks On Unsupported Mac

Hi guys, Can I install Mavericks on unsupported 2 x 2,66 GHz Dual-Core 2006
MacPro Intel Xeon? One important thing: I'm already running OSX LION, thanks to
a relatively new graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) that allows that. In
this video, we're going to install Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) on an unsupported
Core 2 Duo MacBook. This guide applies to the MacBook 2,1 through 4,1 and c.

Update 2019-05-02: For those of you who want to install macOS 10.14 on an
unsupported Mac,check this post.

 1. Developed by Kelian Dumarais (MLforAll) Verison 2.0.1. MacOS Extractor is a
    legacy Application that assists you in install OS X 10.8-10.11 on your
    Unsupported Mac. By using this patching software on your Unsupported Mac,
    you can enjoy the various features and added security that modern Macs have.
 2. Macworld also has bootable-install-drive instructions for: mac OS High
    Sierra (10.13) El Capitan (OS X 10.11) Yosemite (OS X 10.10) Mavericks (OS X
    10.9). Here’s how to install macOS High Sierra on Unsupported Macs. Download
    macOS High Sierra VMware & VirtualBox Image; That’s was for installing High
    Sierra on Mac.

I have a MacBook Mid 2007 (more technically named MacBook2,1) that officially
can not be upgraded beyond Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). It is however possible to
install Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) on it with quite good success and not too much
effort.

I want to first write what does not work:

 1. Sleep mode – not working at all – leave on or shut down
 2. The build-in web camera – “works” but not as it did in 10.7, I think
 3. YouTube-video (etc), works occationally (now worse than in 10.7, my
    experience)

I suggest you read the user comments to this post. A few helpful readers have
shared their experiences.

What you need:

 1. A USB Memory, 8GB or larger
 2. Mac OS X Mavericks (i had the install/upgrade Application that I had myself
    downloaded on another Mac, from App Store, when I upgraded it from 10.8 to
    10.9. I always keep these for possible future use.)
 3. SFOTT: I used version 1.4.4 which is currently the latest stable
 4. Audio/Video-drivers from (not here anymore, se comments below).
    Warning, this is one of these horrible download pages where you don’t know
    where to click to get the right thing, and what gives you spyware. You
    should get the file mac-mini-mavericks.7z. Discard anything else without
    opening. The 7z-file can be opened with StuffitExpander, that already
    comes with Maverick

Making a bootable USB-drive
You first need to use SFOTT to create your bootable USB-drive (it is called
“key” in SFOTT). You simply double-click on SFOTT on a Mac where you both have
your Mavericks Install App and your USB-drive. SFOTT is a self guiding
menu-driven application. It will take some time to make all the settings in
SFOTT (it took me perhaps 15 minutes), but it was self-explanatory and not very
difficult. Use the autorun mode to create the drive.

Recovery Scenario
When you install a Mac OS upgrade there is a risk your Mavericks system will not
boot. When upgrading from 10.9.0 to 10.9.5 like I did, it will not boot. My
impression (after reading different sources) is that this recovery is needed
when upgrading from 10.9.0 (or 10.9.1 / 10.9.2) but not later. Nobody knows
about 10.9.6 of course, because it is not out. Minor upgrades to applications or
security upgrades should not cause need to recovery.

When Mavericks fails to start you need to “re-Patch” using SFOTT. I installed
Mavericks on a separate partition, side-by-side with Lion, so when Mavericks
failed to start my computer automatically started Lion instead and I could run
SFOTT in Lion to re-Patch my Mavericks system.

If you can not do side-by-side you can start from your SFOTT-key (which you
still have) and instead of installing Maverick you start the Terminal
application. Find the SFOTT.app on the key, and find SFOTT.sh inside SFOTT.app.
Run SFOTT.sh and you can re-Patch your broken Mavericks system. I did the entire
procedure on my working Mavericks just to test it, and it seems fine.

There is if course no true guarantee that a future Apple upgrade will not break
everything completely.

Installing Mavericks
Installation of Mavericks from the USB-drive is very standard. To start the
computer from the USB-drive, hold down the “alt”-key (not Apple-key, not
ctrl-key) while starting the computer. Choose SFOTT and proceed normally. After
about an hour you should have a clean 10.9.0 Mavericks with network/wifi
working. Video will work, but with problems (try Safari, and you will see), and
Audio will not work.

Upgrade Mavericks
I used App Store to upgrade Mavericks to 10.9.5. That works just fine, until
Mavericks fails to start (I ended up in my old Lion system on a reboot, if you
have no other system installed your computer with probably just not start). This
is where you need to recover your system using SFOTT.

Fixing Audio and Video
The 7z-file I referred to above contains Audio and Video drivers. You run the
application “Kext Utility” and the you drag the contents of the folder
Extensions into the Kext Utility, and it will install the drivers. There is a
folder with “optional wifi drivers”, I have not installed those because wifi has
been fine all the time for me.

The MacBook2,1 has Intel GMA950 Video, and there are no supported 64-bit-drivers
for Mavericks. The drivers I suggest you to install are supposed to be drivers
from a public beta of 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that Apple once released. They seem to
work quite fine for me though. And not installing them is worse.

I suggest you upgrade to 10.9.5 before fixing Audio and Video. I guess a later
Apple-upgrade could break Audio and Video and require you to reinstall drivers.

Problems booting the SFOTT key
I first created the SFOTT key using the SFOTT beta (that is also supposed to
work with Yosemite), and I used System Preferences/Startup Disk (in Lion) to
start the installion. This failed and my computer just started up in Lion.

I then created the SFOTT key using 1.4.4, AND i restarted the computer holding
down the alt-key. This worked. This key also later worked when I used System
Preferences/Startup Disk (in Mavericks) to choose startup drive.

Driver Problems
There are open source Audio drivers called VoodooHDA. I installed those ones
with success, but audio volume was low. I tried to fix with no success. Later I
found the drivers I referred to above and that I recommend.

I found another download for what was supposed to be the same Video Drivers. But
the Kext-utility did not work, and I installed the drivers by copying them
directly into /System/Library/Extensions and this gave me a broken unbootable
system. I don’t know what went wrong, but I recommend the drivers I linked to.

Video/YouTube Performance
Some videos seem to play perfectly, others dont. I had problems with 10.7 too.

Background and about SFOTT
There are several Apple computers that can run 10.7, that have a 64-bit
processor, but that can not officially run 10.8 or later. There are a few
issues:

 1. Video Drivers – and in the case of my MacBook2,1 the unofficial ones
    mentioned
    above may be good enough
 2. 32 bit EFI. Even though the computer has a 64 bit processor, the EFI, the
    software that runs before the Installer/Operating system, is 32 bit, and not
    capable of starting a 64-bit system.
 3. Mavericks does not believe it can run on this hardware.

As I understand it SFOTT installs a little program that 32 bit EFI is capable of
starting, and that in turn is capable of staring a 64 bit system. Also, SFOTT
patches a few files so Mavericks feels comfortable running on the unsupported
hardware.

You can do all of this on your own without SFOTT. SFOTT “just” makes this
reasonably easy.

There are plenty of forums, tools and information about running Mac OS X on
unsupported hardware (also non-Apple-hardware: a Hackintosh). Those forums of
course focus a lot on problems people have.

Yosemite
It is supposed to be possible to install Yosemite in a similar way. SFOTT has a
beta release for Yosemite. For my purposes going to Mavericks gave me virtually
all advantages of an upgrade (supported version of OS X, able to install latest
Xcode, etc).

Conclusion
In the beginning of 2015, it is not that hard to install Mavericks on a MacBook
Mid 2007, with a quite good result. I have pointed out the tools and downloads
you need and that will work.

Macworld also has bootable-install-drive instructions for: mac OS High Sierra
(10.13) El Capitan (OS X 10.11) Yosemite (OS X 10.10) Mavericks (OS X 10.9).

Here’s how to install macOS High Sierra on Unsupported Macs. Download macOS High
Sierra VMware & VirtualBox Image; That’s was for installing High Sierra on Mac.
But for installing macOS High Sierra on Windows, which you definitely can, there
are two ways to do it. In the first procedure, we can install macOS High Sierra
with High Sierra. Jan 30, 2018 I began to figure out what was going on and found
out the following. Attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App
Store I found that a small 19 MB version of the “Install macOS High Sierra.app”
file downloads to the “Applications” folder, rather than the complete 5.2 GB
installer file. That’s the problem.

While the yearly major macOS update system is free to install, it is still
limited to Macs that Apple deems compatible, and every year a generation of Macs
essentially becomes obsolete. This is despite the fact that Apple is eager to
emphasize that macOS is a widely compatible operating system.

As it happens, there are still people with close to ten-year-old Apple desktop
computers still in use on a daily basis, likely performing a range of lighter
tasks.

Download CleanMyMac X from MacPaw’s website and clean up to 500MB of junk data
from your computer while enjoying all the features of the software without major
limitations.


WHICH MACS DON'T SUPPORT HIGH SIERRA

For some reason Apple doesn't want to allow these Macs to run its latest
operating system, currently macOS 10.13 High Sierra. This leaves the following
Macs on macOS 10.11 El Capitan:

 * MacBook Pro – late-2009 or earlier models
 * MacBook – late-2008 or earlier models
 * MacBook Air – 2009 or earlier models
 * iMac – late-2008 or earlier models
 * Mac Mini – 2009 or earlier models
 * Mac Pro – 2009 or earlier models.

These machines are considered obsolete and vintage by Apple. The company defines
vintage products as those that have not been manufactured for more than five
years but less than seven years ago. Obsolete products are those discontinued
more than seven years ago.


HOW TO INSTALL MACOS HIGH SIERRA ON UNSUPPORTED MACS

Though Apple doesn't support the above hardware officially, someone has thought
about sharing the love for these older machines. A developer known as DOSDude1
has written a patch that works on Macs with the Penryn architecture. Using this
still imposes certain limitations, but at least makes it possible to install
macOS High Sierra on the following Macs:

 * Early-2008 or newer Mac Pro, iMac, or MacBook Pro (MacPro 3,1 and 4,1, iMac
   8,1 and 9,1, MacBook Pro 4,1, 5,1, 5,2, 5,3, 5,4, and 5,5).
 * Late-2008 or newer MacBook Air or Aluminum Unibody MacBook (MacBook Air 2,1,
   MacBook 5,1).
 * Early-2009 or newer Mac Mini or white MacBook (Mac Mini 3,1, MacBook 5,2)
 * Early-2008 or newer Xserve (Xserve 2,1, Xserve 3,1).

If you happen to own any of the Penryn Macs mentioned above, the macOS High
Sierra Patch Tool written by DOSDude1 will make running the latest software
possible. But remember, with High Sierra you will also migrate to the Apple File
System, and it is highly recommended that you first disable SIP because it may
prevent the patch from working at all.


MAC HIGH SIERRA INSTALL ERROR

Installing the operating system on any of these Macs will require some technical
knowledge, so it is not recommended for novice users. Also, a backup of your
data is always a good idea in case anything goes wrong.

While there is a full step-by-step tutorial and video tutorial available on
DOSDude1's website, it’s good to get a summary of the basics, which start with
downloading the macOS High Sierra Installer app from the Mac App Store:

 1. Format a USB drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) via Disk Utility.
 2. Open the macOS High Sierra Patcher tool, navigate to the High Sierra
    Installer App, then select your pen drive and click “Start Operation”.
 3. Boot from the USB drive by holding down the option key after reboot.
 4. Install macOS normally, reboot back on the installer drive, and then open
    the “macOS Post Install” application.
 5. From the options, select the Mac model you own. This step is important,
    because it contains the optimal patch for that specific model.
 6. Click the “Patch” button, and after the process has finished, click
    “Reboot”.


THE REASON NOT TO INSTALL MACOS HIGH SIERRA ON AN UNSUPPORTED MAC

As you may have already experienced with other types of officially unsupported
machines, the probability of having issues is much higher. The same applies in
this case, too, since the macOS High Sierra Patcher will render your iMac 8.1
Broadcom Wi-Fi chip useless for certain models.

Macs that use the Broadcom BCM4321 Wi-Fi module will not have functional Wi-Fi
when running High Sierra. Another issue that has been highlighted by the
developer is that the trackpad in the MacBook 5,2 isn't fully supported in this
version of OS.

These are just a few of the possible issues that could arise, and this is before
even mentioning the various potential software errors that you can run into by
using out-of-date hardware. Without getting the proper knowledge beforehand,
you'll need to revert back to the previous state of the Mac, which won't be an
easy process, especially not without a Time Machine backup.
