A tip for working with hackintosh smbios: Save all of your info in RTvariables and SMBIOS so when you switch SMBIOS, you don't run into apple signin problem. THe fact that you have to call apple when you switch SMBIOS signified that there's something wrong in apple authentication on your account due to SMBIOS info mismatched. @AudioGod With netflix taken care of, there's nothing wrong with iGPU or DRM issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get it working I tend to use the same SMBIOS info between installs. I've only changed it once when I moved my install from a Gigabyte Z390M + 9600K to my current build. What instructions moving forward do you recommend I follow when generating this information? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Personally I have two EFI’s with two sets of serials and info in them and I keep them separate so I don’t mess up my iMessage and iCloud info. So When I move from 1,1 to 19,1 I log out of 1,1 and then remove it from my iCloud info via my iPad or iPhone and then log in as my 19,1 EFI. That way Apple sees it as me with two different systems with two different sets of info and done. no need to ever get in touch with Apple about anything what so ever and if you do your taking a risk!

Just realize with Apple File System, time machine works significantly faster than before. I most of the time use migrate assistant if that's 2 different SMBIOS. Just telling Apple: Hey, I'm moving my stuff onto another mac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please go to this guide: Scroll down to the Part 6 where you see the iMessage setup. Follow the instruction there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown1221 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Does anyone know how to get a Windows 10 installation on a separate disk to show up under 'Startup Disk' of System Preferences? I only have my MacOS install showing up there currently. I read somewhere that with the Opencore boot loader you can change default boot disks via 'Startup Disk'.

AudioGod Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) @hungrywallet I think I might of worked out what your problem is with Apple TV, I noticed when I was repairing your EFI that your not using the Airportfixup.kext and if I remove it from my system everything works as normally or so you think until you online game and then you notice how bad your ping and stutter really is. this also effects players that stream so I just tried now without airportfixup.kext to play a stream via appletv and I got all sorts of trouble like hanging and massive pauses where you think its not playing or a black flash instead of playback but as soon as I put the kext back and reboot its perfect again so in conclusion drop the airportfixup.kext back into your Kexts folder in clover and reboot and try it again (make sure the EFI is as I sent it to you plus your details and no extra flags then what I added) I bet you it works buddy Edited November 14, 2019 by AudioGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to restart into windows without choosing at clover. A novelty i guess. I always use UEFI boot selection from bios to boot to windows. Less headache.

Depends on your needs but @larabee is right. if you don’t use thunderbolt and have no need for it then get the master. One thing about the designare is that is has a lot of trouble working correctly with aptiomemoryfix.efi and you probably end up having to use the naughty free2000 driver instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungrywallet Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Lol, not sure which to go with then. I don't have any thunderbolt devices but that's because I don't have any thunderbolt ports on anything. Nor can I think of a good use case in my scenario for TB ports. I'm also tired of pulling the battery out of my current board so I'd like to go with whatever is more Hackintosh friendly and has better community support.

If you want to stop pulling the battery or hitting f11 at startup then swap out aptiomemoryfix for free2000 and it will end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
