macjedimatt Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The provided DSDT is designed for AMD Radeon 5450 Series. I'm not really sure of this but I think the AMD Radeon 6450 Series works OOB and don't need any DSDT patch. Please, run this in a teminal window and post report.spx here (it's on your Desktop) : system_profiler -detailLevel mini -xml > ~/Desktop/report.spx Meanwhile, you can try this Generic DSDT. The generic DSDT worked a treat! Thank you so much. The only thing I don't have working now is audio. But I'm going to jump straight to 10.11 before I try getting that working. Thanks again for all of your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBSER66 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 hallo everyone, first of all thanks for your guide, I have been able to install YOSEMITE on my dell optiplex 780 with a 120Gb SSD and a sapphire Radeon 5450 graphic card. I have WI-FI working on a €2 usb adapter (with dwa-140 system) only problem at every reboot have to go on it and reconnet (but stay connected if wake from sleep mode) only 2 little problems... with an €1 bluetooth adapter have been able to connect the Apple Wireless Keyboard but it seems there is a problem due that it does not work always.... but on bluetooth preferences there are 2 devices (one as adman's keyboard and the other as c8-e0-eb-12-99-73) but both devices are the same keyboard... and anywise it doesn't work. Second problem , I bought a monitor LG 25UM57 (with maximum resolution 2560x1080) but I am not able to switch to this resolution, it works at 1920x1080, I tried to use SwitchResX but .... no result.. hope you can help me... and hope I am not posting on the wrong place... Regards HI, anyone read this and can help me ?? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bienvenidos Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I found this guide and was excited to repurpose an old computer for my nieces to use FaceTime and iMessage with family, but ran into some issues. Has anyone had any issues with YouTube videos/ certain pages not loading? Once in a blue moon a YouTube video will load. Majority of the time, I just get a spinning wheel ontop of a black screen. Funny thing is that the YouTube ads will load without any hesitation at all. I've tried different browsers, updating the Flash Player, as well as fiddling around with MTU on my network settings, but nothing seems to fix it. I did do the El Capitan build and YouTube videos and all pages load perfectly fine, but I was never able to get audio working properly even after following the provided instructions, which is why I reverted back to Yosemite. I am currently running a Core 2 Quad Optiplex 780 with a HD5450 512mb video card. Everything works great except the YouTube and loading of web pages. I have no special firewall rules or anything. I'm inclined to think it's some type of network issue causing it to act funny. Any help would be as I've been scouring the forums for several weeks trying to perfect this build for the girls. Thanks. EDIT: I noticed with my USB wifi, I didn't have this problem, so it had to be something with the network. I installed the AppleIntelE1000 v3.2.4.2 kext and it fixed it. All my pages load properly and YouTube videos pop up instantly. Edited January 17, 2016 by bienvenidos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPeet Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 delete AppleIntelE1000 and take this here: Intel82566MM.kext.zip runs perfectly with my 780 MT Youtube no longer works with Flash Player! Currently running Youtube with HTML5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocajoe Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 EDIT: Cancel below I used the link from post #2 and it unzipped just fine Thanks for the lovely guide! I downloaded the Clover_780.zip file and tried to unzip it using Apple Unarchive Utility on an actual Mac but It gives me this error: Unable to expand Error 2 - No such file or directory Any ideas? Or does anybody have the files they can post? I'd sure appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've just noticed there's a problem with terminal commands at the end of the step 5. Instead of this : 5. Prepare Bootable USB Drive This step extracts the OS X Installer contents, then installs clover bootloader to the USB stick. Make sure to backup the files that are already on your USB flash drive: Insert the USB drive. Open up /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Highlight the USB drive in the left column. Click on the partion tab. Click Current and choose 1 Partition. Click Options... Choose GUID Partition Table. Under Name: type USB (you can rename it later) Under Format : choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) Click Apply then Partition. Go to Applications and find the OS X Yosemite installer. Right click on the installer and choose show package contents Navigate to Contents/Shared Support and double click on the InstallESD.dmg, the .dmg should now mount and appear on your desktop. Open Terminal and type the following command: open /Volumes/"OS X Install ESD"/BaseSystem.dmg Now, open the disk utility and restore the volume you previously named "USB" with the mounted BaseSystem. Once done, you will end up with two "OS X BaseSystem". Rename your USB drive to Yosemite. (not the dmg) You can tell which drive is the USB from the size. Type the following commands in Terminal: -cp "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.dmg" /Volumes/Yosemite/ - cp -a "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.chunklist" /Volumes/Yosemite/ - rm /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages - cp -a /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages You should read this : cp "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.dmg" /Volumes/Yosemite/ cp -a "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.chunklist" /Volumes/Yosemite/ rm /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages cp -a /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages There's no '-' before each command.

porcupike17 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I've got a 760 (also tried on a 780) that I've been trying to get working. When I get to the disk utility for setting the computer hd, the only thing listed is the flash drive. I've tried another hd and it did the same thing. I've formatted the drive as ntfs and also exfat and neither show up. Drives are: Seagate Barracuda 80gb 7200 WD 160gb 7200 Any ideas?

morpheousman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Check your bios settings. If you start the computer, press F2, go into bios settings. Is the Hard Drive listed in the bios? Did you change the Drive settings from Sata to AHCI? Hard drive checked as a boot device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupike17 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes. I ended up making an installer for El Capitan and left all the bios settings the same and was able to see the hdd in disk utility and got it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogdangepe Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi, I need a little help. I managed to install Yosemite, Dell 790 i5 2400, gtx 1060. Everything works, except the gtx1060 video card. I installed nvidia web driver, it loads it but it has no graphics acceleration. El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra do not manage to install them. I have attached the EFI file, maybe someone can help me make my DSDT. The files are extracted to the origin folder. https://mega.nz/#!k9JHHIaZ!JmuzVfcB6I5QPsbq1FBTUKYZycMBTR2lEXKxv1naw3Y https://mega.nz/#F!lwAxVAoJ!XckwbahrS71yXIxxTpUZTQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
