Is there anything to be done if Clover won't boot the OS X installer? From verbose mode, it looks like it never even tries to boot. (I left it for 20 minutes or so as per instructions to wait.) My mobo is an old/crappy Z68XP-UD3 with a half-assed beta UEFI implementation, if that might be the root cause. (Right now I am booting System 10.9.5 using Chimera.)

enMTW posted:Check Gigabyte's website for a newer bios. Make sure you followed all the configuration steps correctly. No dice I'm afraid; UEFI BIOS on these mobos was an afterthought. By legacy mode, do you mean boot the USB stick in legacy mode from the BIOS menu or to try a different Clover installer? To be exact; my Clover USB stick will boot to Clover dark green theme in UEFI mode but not legacy mode. I select the El Cap USB stick in the dark green theme, choose verbose mode, but then it stalls entirely.

enMTW posted:In the Clover installer, there is an option to install in Legacy Mode. Try that option. Thanks very much, that got it going. I was able to boot into the installer, format my SSD, then start installing El Cap. Unfortunately, when the installer "finished" and rebooted my machine it had not actually done it. If I mount the volume I can see a volume called OS X Install Data with ~340MB of stuff in it. Something went wrong obviously, is it worth trying again? Cheers!

enMTW posted:Interesting. I don't have a quick answer, sounds like something I haven't seen before. I'd like to do an install with you live, on Skype, if you have some time tonight/tomorrow night. You do things, I ask questions, together we figure it out, I get to add the solution to my guide. I'd be happy to, but I live in GMT+8 so it might be tricky to catch each other. Perhaps if I install Skype and we see whether we can catch each other at a time is mutually convenient? And if not, try to organise something? skype: coxymla

OK I think I worked it out. The El Cap installer did some stuff on my SSD then restarted. Because it went back into Clover drive select and was not yet able to enumerate the disk I tried to install it on, I assumed that something went wrong. Instead it looks like this was intentional. After booting back into the El Cap installer, the installation automatically continued and finished successfully. Oddly, after installing Clover onto the SSD, I was able to UEFI boot into that disk from my BIOS and then boot the installed El Cap from there! Success! ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Oct 22, 2015 |

Sorry, that would have been a good idea. I get the spinner for about 20 seconds, then an error dialog: Could not sign in to iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Try again. The login window has a red message saying: An error occurred during authentication. For background, I do have a credit card and about $10 balance on my iTunes account, iCloud works OK on my Mac, FaceTime does not work on my Mac, iMessage/FaceTime works on my iPhone. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Oct 29, 2015 |

~Coxy posted:Thanks, but no change I'm afraid. It turned out that my Clover was fine, which is why my NVRAM seemed to be working except for ROM value. The problem was an oddity in Clover, where it will look for a NVRAM.plist file on all volumes, even non-boot ones. Inside /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/misc/debug.log 1:694 0:025 Loading nvram.plist from Vol 'Macintosh SSD' - loaded, size=795 1:698 0:004 PutNvramPlistToRtVars ... (Macintosh SSD is my System 10.9 disk.) I junked that nvram.plist file and rebooted. 1:635 0:024 PutNvramPlistToRtVars: nvram.plist not found Now my ROM is being populated and iMessage works!

The old Mac Pro was also significantly more expensive than the old Power Mac G5s which is weird. Back in the G4 days a tower was something that a prosumer or enthusiast could and would buy but they've been moving further and further away from that.

On another computer I have, after installing El Cap and booting into it, I get a black screen with a SBOD. I'm thinking this is the post-installation finalisation, but I've left it for hours and nothing happens except the SBOD. Any ideas for a way to fix this?

If you already have Windows installed on another drive you don't need to run Boot Camp. Just install VMware Fusion and it can create a VM using that disk.

It's not legal but nobody is going to come after you for it and there is no copy protection, activation or other DRM inside Mac OS X itself (apart from DSMOS, I suppose, which is what FakeSMC is for.)

To be exact, I have a fresh install with a GTX 670 which has DVI-D and DVI-I ports. The DVI monitor works fine but the VGA monitor (using a DVI-VGA adaptor) cannot be detected. Edit: duh, the SMBIOS was set to iMac. I set it to MacPro3,1 and it worked fine.

I'm all for people doing crazy hacks on their Macs Pro, but at some point you're so far from any supported configuration that you might as well have built a Hackintosh for the same money that will be 10x faster.

Craptacular! posted:Basically it looks like Windows-only for now, but that was going to be the case with a Polaris or Vega. Unless you're one of those weirdos paying over-inflated prices for 9x0 hardware you're going to have issues. With everyone from enthusiasts to mainstream press slamming Macs right now for being so far behind the tech curve, something will give before I stop using this card. (shrug) Second hand 980s and 980Tis seem to be selling for reasonably prices on the PC forums that I see. 10x0s still don't work well under Sierra do they?

WinClone is good but I see it's $40 now. You could try digging up an older version but I'm not sure it would be OK with Win8/10.

Craptacular! posted:I replaced a power supply recently and while I was at it removed an old mechanical drive that was being used for backups of old legacy files. As far as I know, I had Clover installed one of my SSDs, both of which remain in use. Occam's razor suggests that Clover was only ever installed onto that mech drive all along, and you used that to boot into OS X on your SSD.

Funny you mention that since now we have NVMe drives we can't disconnect them anymore! Heck I can't even physically unplug mine without removing my CPU HSF (i.e. a huge pain in the rear end.) I installed Mac OS X first onto the NVMe and Windows second onto a HDD. The Windows installer did create a bootloader on the NVMe but luckily in this EFI/GPT world it didn't kill my Clover.
