Which driver did you use for ethernet ? On my 790 I used AppleIntelE1000e.kext and found the newer version on http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx86drivers/files/Kext/Snow_or_Above/to resolve my network problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 But once again, don't get me wrong ! Chris's Installer is a quick and easy one that also works great . Of course, I tried MyHack once for Mavericks and Chris' installer once here when you guys started yelling at me... I've learned this by heart, but i understand that for some guys Chris' method is a real gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't laugh , but I actually looked at the installer's applescript to see what it did and executed by hand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheousman Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 That's why I said this : The method available here works for every OS X version (post Snow Leopard) . But once again, don't get me wrong ! Chris's Installer is a quick and easy one that also works great . Guide updated to address issue. I keep telling you guys, it's not my Guide, it's yours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1111 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hello DELL Optiplex User maybe some people here wants trying to enable the SATA 6 gig on her computer ? This is not guarantee for any DELL but maybe yes on the 755? Thats possible this is working OOB for me on my DELL Precision 690 Take a look here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307920-guide-clover-dell-precision-690-workstation/?p=2203668 Or you can enable the USB 3.0 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307920-guide-clover-dell-precision-690-workstation/?p=2209574 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke9511 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Would this guide work on a dell optiplex 760 usff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Would this guide work on a dell optiplex 760 usff? Hmm… No PCI-e slot in those models if I'm correct. Unfortunately, the integrated Intel GMA chipset is not compatible with OS X so I'd say no. Well, actually it will install but you won't ever had any graphics acceleration… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Reaper Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I updated from 10.11.2 to 10.11.3 which caused USB 2 and Bluetooth to stop working. I removed the DSDT and used Clover's USB injection which has fixed it, somewhat. Sometimes after booting, the USB 2 and Bluetooth loads properly and works, other times they don't. Also, wake from sleep for any graphics card other than the HD 5450 used with its related DSDT wasn't fixed with the 10.11.3 update. If you have a working 10.11.2 installation, stay away from 10.11.3.

Deanor30 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 hey ppl, I have dell 755 sff and dell 760 sff, both running OS X 10.11.3 using a Evga gt 610 graphics card and both using a tp link wireless USB adapter. I have run these using the guides above since 10.9.0 and they have worked seamlessly without any issue. Because I have never had any real issue I have never looked into the troubleshooting side of things. Since the upgrade to EL capitan the dell 760 Sff is randomly experiencing an issue where it locks for about 5 secs and then reboots and when i check the console entries pre reboot it does not show anything that reoccurs or kernel panics. The only thing i have noticed is the reboots do not occur when the Wireless USB is not connected. I have checked with alternative usb wi fi adapters and the issue occurs. Being a relative noob to this can anyone give me a few more pointers to help me trouble shoot this problem. Advise about any tools or apps that might give me more info on the reboots would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPeet Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The 8400 should work OOB. But I think it does not go with the DSDT from 780. Would be worth a try. You can do it but without DSDT try with the most important fixes in Clover's config.plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPeet Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Then you buy but the Snow Leopard retail DVD in the AppStore and try the installation with example nawcom-ModeCD. Then you later composing your Stick for El Capitan. That is the normal way for all users here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed version 2.6.2 and I have sound but the volume control does not work. Why the hell would you want to do that ??? There's everything you need in post #1 to enable native AppleHDA. Not to mention that it's update-proof, has better sound quality and fully suports HDMI audio ! VoodooHDA should only be used when there's no other options . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
