Thanks again Jessie. Great job. My early morning work is done. Grüße aus Hamburg. Update: Somoma 14.4.1 flawlessly updated on both Macs. OCLP updated to the latest version 1.4.3 although there was no real need. All works fine.
Just upgraded my iMac 15.1 (retina 5k, late 2014, Intel i7, 32Gb Ram, 1,12 Gb SSD fusion drive, running Sonoma 14.3.1) without any problem. First installed OCLP 1.4.1, then root patched and rebooted. Installed Sonoma 14.4 via regular update function, root patched after last reboot and everything is fine. Thank you @JessiesFlying for your videos and support.
Jessie u r a Legend! Thanks for all ur info and time spent sharing it with us. I updated my early 2008 Mac Pro 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon w AMD RX570 8GB, 56 GB of ram, on my 2TB ssd. Everything works fine. Used OCLP 1.4.2 to download the 14.4.1 of Sonoma to my applications folder. And to update my 2TB drive. Then double clicked the 'Install Sonoma' app to open it and start the install. Took almost an hour of time in total. So you can safely assume it works on this old workhorse and other cheese grater models. Enjoy your Easter weekend!
Great video and information Jessie! I just finished installing OS X Sonoma 14.4 on my 2012 5,1 Mac Pro using the latest version of OCLP thanks to your video's, and it even automatically root patched my EVGA Nvidia GTX 680 video card.
Iam trying to the the same here, however am not quite sure if graphics acceleration works in Sonama with latest OPEN core!!!!? So have you checked if the graphics acceleration works please ?
@@capitanknightfilms3986 What video card are you using? It does work on a Metal supported video card, in my case it uses the Monterey beta Kepler video driver when it is root patched.

Hi Jessie, I have just found your page after buying refurbished MacBook Air 2014 - Just wanted a basic laptop after using very annoying Chromebook for years. I have followed your older video and updated to macOS Monterey and it worked perfectly - thank you! Question though, is it worth installing macOS Sonoma? My MacBook Air is only 4GB ram, and I don't want to compromise the performance speed. What do you think? (Hope my question makes sense, I am new to all this!)
If Monterey is running fine and you don’t need the new features of Ventura or Sonoma I would stay with Monterey. Maybe check if you can update the RAM?
I rely didn't want update my Mac Mini late 2012 with os Sonoma 14.3 since it run very well. But the newer version has security updates so I took the plunge! It took a long time to update my mac about 1,5 hours. But all went well. It did stuck at 35 minutes left so I got a little nervous but I just waited and lo and behold It rebooted and I had only a white background. But OCLP stepped in and asked me if I would install the root patches I said Yes rebooted again and the colors came back 🙂
@JessiesFlying - For stability and daily use, which macOS would you recommend for a Mac Pro 2012 cheese grater? It has a maxed out spec. Keep up the good work!
sir thank you for your detailed videos , may i request a dedicated video where you in detail expand on the "settings" in open core legacy patcher , i have noticed you talking about that in your videos , but a dedicated video on settings and what all they do , please :) Thanks
I installed Sonoma on my late 2016 Macbook Pro (8GB, touchbar, Intel i5, no dedicated GPU), it works fine but while browsing the System Settings menu each submenu takes 2 seconds to appear. A minimized app may sometimes restore with some delay. Other than these problems I didn't notice any errors.
Thanks for the video walkthrough. With a Mac Pro 5,1 / RX 580, is it required that you download and install the full installer, or can you use the Software Update build into macOS?
Hi Jessie, I'm running a mid 2011 27 inch imac. I can't upgrade naturally beyond High Sierra 10.13.6 . What's the most resent OS that I can upgrade to using the OpenCore Legacy Patcher ? Thanks for your help.
Update to MacMini6,2 is okay. Same as the previous update, the first time the login screen appears, keyboard and touchpad are sluggish. But after login and apply Post-Install Root Patch, restart, then everything is normal. Alternatively, as you mentioned, boot into Safe Mode to fix it. I was just lazy.
Hi Jessie, THANKS for all the work you're doing, and The OCLP team. I have a Mac Pro 5.1, upgrade to Sonoma 14.4 (with KDK 14.4), with OCLP 1.4.2 no problem other than Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 are working, but not fully recognized in System Information. I have High Sierra on another disk that show all the details of the installed card BCM94360CDP. Do you have a suggestion?
Hi Jessie. Thanks again for this video. I wanted to ask you a question. I've downloaded the very last version of OCLP (1.4.2) and I was wondering about one thing. Is it still necessary to deactivate the auto-updates for the Macs running on Sonoma (mine is a MacBook Air 7.2 from 2017) or is it useless ? Of course I bet that the auto-updates for app store won't cause any troubles with unsupported macs running on Sonoma 14.4, but would you recommend to disable all of the others auto updates ?
Hey mate, thanks again for your good information for the update. I had a little problem that I didn't have before. I first updated legacy patcher. then the Macos update. Everything went smoothly, no problems. But after complete startup, it turned out that my WiFi would not connect. After rooting again, update drivers with legacy. Everything worked fine again. Mabook Air late 2017 i5 500GB. Maybe something for your listeners.
I am pleasantly surprised at how smoothly this install went. No need to make USB installer etc. The OpenCore team are absolutely amazing to have done this. Quite weird how Ventura was such a pain in the behind. Pity that we cant install the latest versions of After Effects and Premiere though. The hardware architecture just wont allow it...or is there a way?
I installed macOS Sonoma using Open Core legacy patcher on my 2012 Mac mini. Now, without thinking, I did the software update conventionally to 14.4. Now it won’t boot and gets stuck halfway through loading. I tried updating the patcher on another Mac and installing 14.4 with Open Core via a USB stick, but it didn’t change anything. It also doesn’t work with 14.3 because you can’t revert the hard drive to older versions. You, as an expert, got any advise? Thanks for the in depth video!
@@JessiesFlying I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON MY IMAC 2013 WITH 16GB RAM AND 500GBSSD , I HAD TO UNINSTALL OPENCORE LEGACY PATCHER AND REBOOT USING USB BOOTABLE DRIVE TO MACOS CATALINA
Hi jessy thank yo for the time you spend doing these videos There is one more thing that isnt clear to me, !!!!?? Does graphics accelelation work on Sonoma with the latest open core on a mac pro 5, 1 with metal compatible card !???????? Thank you
Yep on my MacBook Pro, and had no mouse or trackpad. I added an external keyboard and mouse to update to 1.4.1 on my usbc 15”. Safe mode did not resolve the issue.
Hallo Jessie. Ich hab einen großen Fehler gemacht. Habe über Systemupdate auf Sanoma 14.4 gemacht ohne !!! Vorher den Route Patcher 1.4.1 zu installieren. Jetzt komm ich nicht mehr ins Internet weder mit Lan noch mit WLAN um den neuesten Route Patcher zu laden. Was kann ich tun?
My macbook pro mid 2014 running Oclp 1.3.0 with ventura 13.6.5 running flawlessly... Update app comes up after updating and applying patches system gets stuck on boot screen 50% got into recovery tried the bless method system booted without patches tried a couple of things reapplying patches downgrading to 1.3.0 nothing worked... Finally, this is my work machine so I couldn't spend more time on troubleshooting so reinstalled ventura via Oclp and restored from timemachine so I just need the update to 1.4.1 nag screen to go away for the moment 😀is there a way?
Great videos - always very helpful! I’ve got a Mac Pro 5,1 with an RX 5500 (not XT) that runs great on Monterrey OCLP. But, no matter what I do, when I install Sonoma 14.4, at the end the bar stops about 1/3 of the way (which is the screen prior to the login screen). My understanding is that this is video driver related. Booting into efi and holding shift while clicking the Sonoma drive does the same - doesn’t seem to be going into safe mode. I followed your steps exactly, but OCLP never brings up the option to download the KDK when beginning the Sonoma install (as it does for you). I even downloaded it and tried installing it at the end of the Sonoma install (before rebooting). Am I correct in assuming the RX 5500 is just not supported? I’ve spent a lot of hours reinstalling Monterrey and trying different upgrade methods.
Hello for whose who updated to 14.4 before updating OC to 1.4.1 and they get no networks on reboot there is a way around. Download the OC 1.4.1 zip on a USB key and install it over your previous version. Launch it and rebuild opencore. On reboot ethernet should be back. Install the root patch for wifi, on reboot forget your network and rejoin and you're good to go
I updated my 27" late 2013 iMac 14.2 directly from Catalina 10.15.7 to Sonoma 14.4 using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.4.2. It all worked smoothly but it did require a wired keyboard and a wired mouse during the upgrade.
Beware! OCLP 1.4.1 hangs my iMAC18,3 on macOS 14.3 with external Startup SSD Drive - Samsung T7 4TB. (The previous OCLP 1.3.0 was stable.) Once User Account selection screen appears, both keyboard and touchpad (tried both bluetooth and wired) have no response at all. Thus, there's no way to enter a password. I used the internal Fusion Drive to Startup and reinstall OCLP 1.3.1 to the external SSD. No luck. The external SSD is still unable to start up.
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, Finally it works on the External SSD Startup disk. 1) Same as the update to macOS 13 and OCLP 1.3.0, the internal Fusion Drive has to be updated to OCLP 1.4.1 and macOS 14.4. Then I re-run the OCLP 1.4.1 on the External SSD Startup Drive, the user selection and password login page resumes normal again. And then Re-boot to EFI, and select external SSD 4TB becomes normal and the macOS Update to 14.4 is smooth. I suspect that some of the OCLP update process tasks may look back to the EFI of the Internet Fusion Drive though the boot up starts from the external SSD's EFI. 2) When I tested it on a 2TB Samsung T7 Startup drive, there's no problem. But the 4TB Samsung T7 has real-life data and is already 3TB occupied with over 200,000 photos in the Photos app. I guess that the OCLP doesn't take care of some time-out issues.
Hi Jessie! I thank you for all your great videos about open core legacy patcher. I have one question about installing the Sonoma on Macbook Pro 17' late 2011 with model identifier 8,3. The installation process was ok, I did a clean installation and after sign in I don't get the open core patcher pop up "OpenCore Legacy Patcher has detected that you are booting OpenCore form a USB or External drive" How can I fix this issue. Thank you
Jessie, thanks for all the videos!! One question, to see if you experienced the same issue, i have MacBook Air 2014 6,2 with 16 RAM upgrade from Collin @ DosDude and 1 TB SSD. Sonoma 14.3, latest OCLP. Everything works perfect, the only issue that i have is with the USB ports, for eg to hook up my external SSD for backup, it works perfectly, i connect my phone and connects/disconnects continuously, if i put a cheap 3.0 USB hub in the middle, the phone works perfect, and with my Gopro, it doesn't work with or without hub, but it charges it. Everything was tested with and without the computer on external power. Do you had any similar problem with all your computers that you tested? Thanks in advance for your time! Christian
@@JessiesFlying Thanks!!! i'll continue testing, and will let you know if i find what is making trouble. Printers also work perfectly OK with both USB's!!
Jessie, i think that i found the problem, had to use the oem cable that came with the Gopro, and problem solved, otherwise, if i use a cable with adapters ( for eg from usb to usb-c ) with that, the machine will not recognize it, thanks!!!
Hello Jessie… Since you have a mac pro 2013 and a thunderbolt display, auto brightness works on Monterrey, but if i install Sonoma with oclp from a usb drive that function it is not showed anymore. If we use oclp to update monterrey to Sonoma, the auto brightness exists? Do you know any solution to use it?
Jessie great video. Unfortunately I could not make it. When I open the open Core legacy patcher releases Apps, going to 1.0.1 or any other then down to assett it shows the number of assets then start spinning a clock Nothing happen My Mac is iMac 27 late 2012 Any ideas as how to proceed >? Any body Beforehand Thank you
MacBook Pro 2015 and I didn't even think I upgraded... but I did. I was able to boot into safemode and reinstall the patches but now I'm stuck at the loading bar screen. I have no internet at all in safemode so can't download a new install (the WiFi screen won't even pull up in system settings). This is my last hope before I pop it into the microwave on max power before using it as a frisbee into the backyard. Any idea? - thanks!!!
mistakenly updated to sonoma 14.4.1 automatically, and had 1.3.0. OC version. Getting black screen now after login. I can boot in safe, but unable to download new OC or access usb drive. Of course no back up. What are my options? Am I totally screwed? mid 2012 MBP.
Thank you so much for your presentation. I managed to upgrade using my MacBook from 2015. The only thing I’m noticing is the batteries draining quickly… is there a remedy for that? Please advise thank you.
Hello, the installation of Sonoma 14.4 worked on both my MacBook Air 2013 and the IMac 27" 5K 2017. However, the Spotlight search does not work with the IMac. Reindexing didn't work. I had already placed the question on the Discord server, but so far I haven't received an answer - too bad....
Successfully installed Sonoma for the first time on my Mac Pro 6,1. First time using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Everything went smoothly and appears to be working fine. Should I now turn off Apple's automatic updates for MacOS?
Hello Jessie, I ran into a problem i cant fix. I have a Imac late 2013 which i upgraded to Ventura using the open core patcher. Everything went well until i tried to start the mac again. The fan blows immediately and after login to Ventura (after it started up), the Imac freezes directly. Can you please help me so i can fix this problem or is it that bad, it cant be fixed at all?
Just updated my late iMac 14.2 , After 14.4 installation with OCLP 1.3.0(1.4 and 1.4.1 released later), No wifi or Ethernet ,cannot turn on, need support how to get back
A bit confused. So I know I am not really supposed to but my iMac 10,1 Late 2009 iMac works great with Sonoma. It has NVidia GEForce 9400 256 MB video card. Am I good to update or no? I have this on 14.0 for a while, now but we are now at 14.4 so I thought I should upgrade. Can I update until 14.3 with latest OCLP?
thanks for this educative extensive video. Had you heard about .png installation issues with oclp with the drivers installed? I have a mid 2012 mac pro cheese crater with Monterey installed. every time i try to install parallels and some other apps, it gives the message: "parallels desktop quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. click report to see more detailed information and send a report to apple." when removing drivers form oclp it let me install the apps and runs but laggy (i think because or gpu drivers). After installation if i do the oclp drivers, it gives the same message again. Any knowledge about this? any fix other than uninstall drivers? Much appreciated.
I always wait for you to say it's ok to update Jessie, and I followed your advice, it went perfectly on my mac mini 2012. Thank you so much!

Hi Jessie, I updated my iMac mid 2011 27inch with metal card Nividia with 14.1 OPCL patcher and the 14.4 update all works with no issues
I have the same, but Desk Manager is on but does not work. 🤔
very well explained, amazing how much effort you put in here.
Thanks! 😊
Excellent as always. Any issues with non Apple M.2 cards (plus adaptor)?
Maybe ask that on Discord
I rely didn't want update my Mac Mini late 2012 with os Sonoma 14.3 since it run very well. But the newer version has security updates so I took the plunge! It took a long time to update my mac about 1,5 hours. But all went well. It did stuck at 35 minutes left so I got a little nervous but I just waited and lo and behold It rebooted and I had only a white background. But OCLP stepped in and asked me if I would install the root patches I said Yes rebooted again and the colors came back 🙂
👍
Perfect. Will try this today on 2012 12 Core 5.,1 and leave my thoughts
🚀
@JessiesFlying - For stability and daily use, which macOS would you recommend for a Mac Pro 2012 cheese grater? It has a maxed out spec. Keep up the good work!
Thx! Depends on GPU: RX580 Sonoma is fine, anything newer: Monterey
Excellent presentation! Question: Which 2015 MacBook Pro model did you test for this video? By chance, would it be the 11,5 that I happen to have?
It’s a 12,2
sir thank you for your detailed videos , may i request a dedicated video where you in detail expand on the "settings" in open core legacy patcher , i have noticed you talking about that in your videos , but a dedicated video on settings and what all they do , please :) Thanks
Let me think about that
I installed Sonoma on my late 2016 Macbook Pro (8GB, touchbar, Intel i5, no dedicated GPU), it works fine but while browsing the System Settings menu each submenu takes 2 seconds to appear. A minimized app may sometimes restore with some delay. Other than these problems I didn't notice any errors.
Thanks for the video walkthrough. With a Mac Pro 5,1 / RX 580, is it required that you download and install the full installer, or can you use the Software Update build into macOS?
It’s the same as the update also downloads the full installer
First reason on my 2016 MacBook Pro when I go to update the Sonoma 14.4 it stops when it says about 30 minutes remaining. Someone please help.
Also, I am already here on an open core version not a legit version
@@Spikzzz why OpenCore? What version?
Hi Jessie, I'm running a mid 2011 27 inch imac.
I can't upgrade naturally beyond High Sierra 10.13.6 .
What's the most resent OS that I can upgrade to using the OpenCore Legacy Patcher ?
Thanks for your help.
Most recent is macOS 14.3.1, but I recommend Big Sur
@@JessiesFlying Thanks
Update to MacMini6,2 is okay. Same as the previous update, the first time the login screen appears, keyboard and touchpad are sluggish. But after login and apply Post-Install Root Patch, restart, then everything is normal. Alternatively, as you mentioned, boot into Safe Mode to fix it. I was just lazy.
Which MacOs do you recommend to run on a 27" iMac mid-2011 non-metal card?
High Sierra or Big Sur
Hi Jessie, THANKS for all the work you're doing, and The OCLP team. I have a Mac Pro 5.1, upgrade to Sonoma 14.4 (with KDK 14.4), with OCLP 1.4.2 no problem other than Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 are working, but not fully recognized in System Information. I have High Sierra on another disk that show all the details of the installed card BCM94360CDP. Do you have a suggestion?
But it’s fully up and working?
Hi Jessie. Thanks again for this video. I wanted to ask you a question. I've downloaded the very last version of OCLP (1.4.2) and I was wondering about one thing. Is it still necessary to deactivate the auto-updates for the Macs running on Sonoma (mine is a MacBook Air 7.2 from 2017) or is it useless ?
Of course I bet that the auto-updates for app store won't cause any troubles with unsupported macs running on Sonoma 14.4, but would you recommend to disable all of the others auto updates ?
I recommend to disable all macOS updates including security updates. App updates shouldn’t be problematic
@@JessiesFlying Thank you very much Jessie for your advice and your quick answer, I've just disabled those and left only the auto app updates.
@@zackfair5756 👍
Hey mate, thanks again for your good information for the update. I had a little problem that I didn't have before. I first updated legacy patcher. then the Macos update. Everything went smoothly, no problems. But after complete startup, it turned out that my WiFi would not connect. After rooting again, update drivers with legacy. Everything worked fine again. Mabook Air late 2017 i5 500GB.
Maybe something for your listeners.
Thx for the info!
I am pleasantly surprised at how smoothly this install went. No need to make USB installer etc. The OpenCore team are absolutely amazing to have done this. Quite weird how Ventura was such a pain in the behind. Pity that we cant install the latest versions of After Effects and Premiere though. The hardware architecture just wont allow it...or is there a way?
Maybe ask that on my discord server…?
@@JessiesFlying Send me the link bro
@@MohamedMoolla Video Description
I installed macOS Sonoma using Open Core legacy patcher on my 2012 Mac mini. Now, without thinking, I did the software update conventionally to 14.4. Now it won’t boot and gets stuck halfway through loading. I tried updating the patcher on another Mac and installing 14.4 with Open Core via a USB stick, but it didn’t change anything. It also doesn’t work with 14.3 because you can’t revert the hard drive to older versions. You, as an expert, got any advise? Thanks for the in depth video!

@@JessiesFlying I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON MY IMAC 2013 WITH 16GB RAM AND 500GBSSD , I HAD TO UNINSTALL OPENCORE LEGACY PATCHER AND REBOOT USING USB BOOTABLE DRIVE TO MACOS CATALINA
Hi jessy thank yo for the time you spend doing these videos
There is one more thing that isnt clear to me, !!!!??
Does graphics accelelation work on Sonoma with the latest open core on a mac pro 5, 1 with metal compatible card !????????
Thank you
@@capitanknightfilms3986 yes, I have full acceleration with RX580 👍
Yep on my MacBook Pro, and had no mouse or trackpad. I added an external keyboard and mouse to update to 1.4.1 on my usbc 15”. Safe mode did not resolve the issue.
Thank you very much for the info. Does Sonoma & OCLP now works in a Mac Pro 5,1 with an USB 3 card installed?
@@filipr6070 absolutely 👍
Hallo Jessie. Ich hab einen großen Fehler gemacht. Habe über Systemupdate auf Sanoma 14.4 gemacht ohne !!! Vorher den Route Patcher 1.4.1 zu installieren. Jetzt komm ich nicht mehr ins Internet weder mit Lan noch mit WLAN um den neuesten Route Patcher zu laden. Was kann ich tun?
Download OCLP 1.4.1 mit anderem Computer und per USB kopieren
Dankeschön 🙏
My macbook pro mid 2014 running Oclp 1.3.0 with ventura 13.6.5 running flawlessly... Update app comes up after updating and applying patches system gets stuck on boot screen 50% got into recovery tried the bless method system booted without patches tried a couple of things reapplying patches downgrading to 1.3.0 nothing worked... Finally, this is my work machine so I couldn't spend more time on troubleshooting so reinstalled ventura via Oclp and restored from timemachine so I just need the update to 1.4.1 nag screen to go away for the moment 😀is there a way?
I think there is a terminal command you can google
Great videos - always very helpful! I’ve got a Mac Pro 5,1 with an RX 5500 (not XT) that runs great on Monterrey OCLP. But, no matter what I do, when I install Sonoma 14.4, at the end the bar stops about 1/3 of the way (which is the screen prior to the login screen). My understanding is that this is video driver related. Booting into efi and holding shift while clicking the Sonoma drive does the same - doesn’t seem to be going into safe mode. I followed your steps exactly, but OCLP never brings up the option to download the KDK when beginning the Sonoma install (as it does for you). I even downloaded it and tried installing it at the end of the Sonoma install (before rebooting). Am I correct in assuming the RX 5500 is just not supported? I’ve spent a lot of hours reinstalling Monterrey and trying different upgrade methods.
Yes, RX580 and Vega64 are last supported GPUs in Ventura or Sonoma
Ok, thank you! I’ll either go back to Monterrey or see if I can find a deal on an RX580.
I took a job at SpaceX instead. Tho, I would like to thank you for all the work. 💙
👍
Works on my white MacBook the first one
Hello, thanks for your work. Can tell me what key combination you're using with "Control + ?" for booting to the installer please ?
I just press control to set it as standard boot option and then hit return
thanks for these vids very helpful
please help - i update first the sonoma 14.4 and i forgot to insta the ne opencorre legac patcher, what will i do?
Try safe mode 🤔
Vielen danke, Jessie!
😊
Hello for whose who updated to 14.4 before updating OC to 1.4.1 and they get no networks on reboot there is a way around. Download the OC 1.4.1 zip on a USB key and install it over your previous version. Launch it and rebuild opencore. On reboot ethernet should be back. Install the root patch for wifi, on reboot forget your network and rejoin and you're good to go
👍🚀
I updated my 27" late 2013 iMac 14.2 directly from Catalina 10.15.7 to Sonoma 14.4 using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.4.2. It all worked smoothly but it did require a wired keyboard and a wired mouse during the upgrade.
Beware! OCLP 1.4.1 hangs my iMAC18,3 on macOS 14.3 with external Startup SSD Drive - Samsung T7 4TB. (The previous OCLP 1.3.0 was stable.) Once User Account selection screen appears, both keyboard and touchpad (tried both bluetooth and wired) have no response at all. Thus, there's no way to enter a password.
I used the internal Fusion Drive to Startup and reinstall OCLP 1.3.1 to the external SSD. No luck. The external SSD is still unable to start up.
Are you sure you didn’t tweak something else in the 1.3.0 setup?
@@JessiesFlying Hi Jessie, Finally it works on the External SSD Startup disk. 1) Same as the update to macOS 13 and OCLP 1.3.0, the internal Fusion Drive has to be updated to OCLP 1.4.1 and macOS 14.4. Then I re-run the OCLP 1.4.1 on the External SSD Startup Drive, the user selection and password login page resumes normal again. And then Re-boot to EFI, and select external SSD 4TB becomes normal and the macOS Update to 14.4 is smooth. I suspect that some of the OCLP update process tasks may look back to the EFI of the Internet Fusion Drive though the boot up starts from the external SSD's EFI. 2) When I tested it on a 2TB Samsung T7 Startup drive, there's no problem. But the 4TB Samsung T7 has real-life data and is already 3TB occupied with over 200,000 photos in the Photos app. I guess that the OCLP doesn't take care of some time-out issues.
Hi Jessie, are there any experiences or recommendations for updating to Sonoma 14.4.1?
Not yet unfortunately, maybe ask on Discord
Hi Jessie! I thank you for all your great videos about open core legacy patcher. I have one question about installing the Sonoma on Macbook Pro 17' late 2011 with model identifier 8,3. The installation process was ok, I did a clean installation and after sign in I don't get the open core patcher pop up "OpenCore Legacy Patcher has detected that you are booting OpenCore form a USB or External drive" How can I fix this issue. Thank you
Just install it to your system disk and choose its EFI boot
Jessie thank you for your support and quick reply. I will do it later on today and I will keep you posted.
Jessie, thanks for all the videos!! One question, to see if you experienced the same issue, i have MacBook Air 2014 6,2 with 16 RAM upgrade from Collin @ DosDude and 1 TB SSD. Sonoma 14.3, latest OCLP. Everything works perfect, the only issue that i have is with the USB ports, for eg to hook up my external SSD for backup, it works perfectly, i connect my phone and connects/disconnects continuously, if i put a cheap 3.0 USB hub in the middle, the phone works perfect, and with my Gopro, it doesn't work with or without hub, but it charges it. Everything was tested with and without the computer on external power. Do you had any similar problem with all your computers that you tested? Thanks in advance for your time! Christian
Not yet experienced, but it might be because of the amount of power drawn… 🤔
@@JessiesFlying Thanks!!! i'll continue testing, and will let you know if i find what is making trouble. Printers also work perfectly OK with both USB's!!
Jessie, i think that i found the problem, had to use the oem cable that came with the Gopro, and problem solved, otherwise, if i use a cable with adapters ( for eg from usb to usb-c ) with that, the machine will not recognize it, thanks!!!

Dear Jessie, MacBook Air 11 2015 Sonoma 14.3.1 internal mic is recognized but I cannot record audio: no audio levels. Any ideas.
That’s quite specific, maybe ask on Discord
Will do. Thank you.
Found the solution: Restart Audio Driver: Go to Activity Monitor (All Processes) > Search: coreaudiod > Stop/X coreaudiod. Restart.
Hello Jessie… Since you have a mac pro 2013 and a thunderbolt display, auto brightness works on Monterrey, but if i install Sonoma with oclp from a usb drive that function it is not showed anymore. If we use oclp to update monterrey to Sonoma, the auto brightness exists? Do you know any solution to use it?
I do not have the Thunderbolt Display but the DVI version. Maybe ask that on Discord…?
Jessie great video. Unfortunately I could not make it. When I open the open Core legacy patcher releases Apps, going to 1.0.1 or any other then down to assett it shows the number of assets then start spinning a clock Nothing happen My Mac is iMac 27 late 2012 Any ideas as how to proceed >? Any body
Beforehand Thank you
Did you try another browser?
My 2013 mid iMac 21.5, i5 does not work with Unlock with Apple watch when the screen needs to be woken up. In other cases it works.
MacBook Pro 2015 and I didn't even think I upgraded... but I did. I was able to boot into safemode and reinstall the patches but now I'm stuck at the loading bar screen. I have no internet at all in safemode so can't download a new install (the WiFi screen won't even pull up in system settings). This is my last hope before I pop it into the microwave on max power before using it as a frisbee into the backyard. Any idea? - thanks!!!
You can always do recovery to install latest official macOS and then try to upgrade again
mistakenly updated to sonoma 14.4.1 automatically, and had 1.3.0. OC version. Getting black screen now after login. I can boot in safe, but unable to download new OC or access usb drive. Of course no back up. What are my options? Am I totally screwed? mid 2012 MBP.
Just download OCLP on another Mac or PC and copy it via USB
Thank you so much for your presentation. I managed to upgrade using my MacBook from 2015. The only thing I’m noticing is the batteries draining quickly… is there a remedy for that? Please advise thank you.

@@JessiesFlying no. I will check into that. Thanks!
Hello, the installation of Sonoma 14.4 worked on both my MacBook Air 2013 and the IMac 27" 5K 2017. However, the Spotlight search does not work with the IMac. Reindexing didn't work. I had already placed the question on the Discord server, but so far I haven't received an answer - too bad....

Successfully installed Sonoma for the first time on my Mac Pro 6,1. First time using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Everything went smoothly and appears to be working fine. Should I now turn off Apple's automatic updates for MacOS?
Absolutely ☝️
Hello Jessie,
I ran into a problem i cant fix.
I have a Imac late 2013 which i upgraded to Ventura using the open core patcher.
Everything went well until i tried to start the mac again.
The fan blows immediately and after login to Ventura (after it started up), the Imac freezes directly.
Can you please help me so i can fix this problem or is it that bad, it cant be fixed at all?
Never mind --> i was able to fix it. I did reset the SMC. I think the problem was caused due to a heater which was attached to the sam power unit
Just updated my late iMac 14.2 , After 14.4 installation with OCLP 1.3.0(1.4 and 1.4.1 released later), No wifi or Ethernet ,cannot turn on, need support how to get back
Download OCLP 1.4.1 on another computer and copy it via USB
Thank You@@JessiesFlying
A bit confused. So I know I am not really supposed to but my iMac 10,1 Late 2009 iMac works great with Sonoma. It has NVidia GEForce 9400 256 MB video card. Am I good to update or no? I have this on 14.0 for a while, now but we are now at 14.4 so I thought I should upgrade. Can I update until 14.3 with latest OCLP?
14.3.1 should work if 14.0 works fine
thanks for this educative extensive video. Had you heard about .png installation issues with oclp with the drivers installed? I have a mid 2012 mac pro cheese crater with Monterey installed. every time i try to install parallels and some other apps, it gives the message: "parallels desktop quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. click report to see more detailed information and send a report to apple." when removing drivers form oclp it let me install the apps and runs but laggy (i think because or gpu drivers). After installation if i do the oclp drivers, it gives the same message again. Any knowledge about this? any fix other than uninstall drivers? Much appreciated.
I don’t know about parallels. Maybe ask on discord…?
Great Video, However I Am Wanting To Know If My 2013 27" iMac Should Be Good To Update, Now ??? It's The iMac 14,2 !!
Why not?
