MacOS Extractor and MacPostFactor are apps that guide you through patching and installing macOS Sierra (10.12), OS X El Capitan (10.11), Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks (10.9), or Mountain Lion (10.8). Open the “macOS Sierra Patcher” tool, and browse for your copy of the macOS Sierra Installer App.Ensure that the tool successfully verifies the app. Next, select your USB drive in the Target Volume list, and click “Start Operation.” When the operation completes, boot your target unsupported Mac off the USB drive you just created.

Yosemite Patcher Tool For Unsupported Macs 11

• Using APFS is REQUIRED in Mojave in order to receive system updates via the normal Software Update method. If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences. If you are not using APFS, you can follow the 10.14.1 installation steps below.


• After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.

10.14.6 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.2 or later after installing.

10.14.5 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.1 or later after installing.

10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Then, update to 10.14.4, either by installing via Software Update, or by just using the installer volume you've created to install.

If you are currently running 10.14.1 or 10.14.2, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.3 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

If you are currently running 10.14.1, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.2 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, or are using a non-AFPS volume, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

The Mojave 10.14.1 update does NOT install properly on unsupported machines, and could result in an unbootable OS. If you want to install the 10.14.1 update (and are not currently running 10.14.1), perform the following steps:
• Download the latest version of Mojave Patcher
• Download the installer using the Tools menu of Mojave Patcher
• Create a patched USB installer
• Boot from that, and install 10.14.1 onto the volume containing an older release.
• Once done, apply the post-install patches, and you should now be on 10.14.1.

1. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was the first OS X version with optional support for a 64-bit kernel, allowing booting either with a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. However, Apple did not support booting the 64-bit kernel in Macs that shipped with EFI32 firmware, even if they had 64-bit processors capable of running the 64-bit kernel. When Apple dropped the 32-bit kernel entirely from OS X, starting with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, EFI32 Macs no longer had an Apple-supported mechanism to boot newer OS X versions.
2. Fortunately, we have found a work around for these version of OS X. Here we provide guides in Post 1 and 2 and support for Installing OS X Yosemite on your Unsupported Mac.
3. This first post is usually updated with recent summarized information, updates, and more solutions.
4. For those who have 2006/2007 Mac Pros, you may be best suited to using Mr. Zarniwoop's Guide here.
5. Prerequisites
6. Tested Macs listed below. Here are the minimum requirements:
7. - At least 2GB of RAM.
8. - A copy of Yosemite in Applications Folder (.app file preferred)
9. -MacBook3,x
10. -MacBookPro2,x
11. -MacMini1,x (C2D upgraded)
12. -iMac4,x (C2D can be upgraded)
13. We DON'T assist with Hackintosh. All private messages/emails involving installing OS X on non-Apple hardware will be redirected to another support team.

62. enter: sudo rm /Volumes/[Main Drive Name]/System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist
63. F: Install these 64 bit Kexts from OS X Hackers link below (These will better the graphics by a little but you will not have Graphics Acceleration. Still in beta so they may not work well)
64. 1f: open the KextUtility.app by dropping all of the files inside this attachment zip folder named “kexts. . .' to it. Don't forget to drop in the AppleHDA.kext
65. 2f: reboot
66. 3f: Boot into Single User Mode (Hold Command-S after hearing the bong sound)
67. 4f:enter: sudo nvram boot-args='kext-dev-mode=1'

74. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
75. Bugs (from multiple Mac Models)
76. 3. Video don’t play in iTunes, Safari, nor DVD Player (best use Quicktime and Google Chrome)
77. 4. Notification Center is sometimes a mess.
78. 5. Only one Screen Resolution available
79. 6. Some Apps will have artifacts if primary using Graphics Card.
80. 7. iMessage/FaceTime note:
81. Most users cannot initially login to iMessage or FaceTime using their Apple ID from their Macs after installing Yosemite as a security precaution. When trying to login, they receive an iMessage Registration validation code. The solution is to contact Apple support, provide the Mac's serial number, explain that Yosemite was installed using our guide and that iMessage isn't working and provide the validation code. Apple then unblocks the Mac, allowing iMessage and FaceTime login immediately and in the future OS updates.
82. OS X Software Updates
