Install os x 10.12 on unsupported mac

Planned obsolescence or just a push for you to make an upgrade? It doesn't matter, actually, as there are still ways to use the newest OS on older Apple computers, such as:

OS X El Capitan (10.11) on Unsupported Macs macOS Extractor and MacPostFactor are apps that guide you through patching and installing OS X El Capitan (10.11), Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks (10.9), or Mountain Lion (10.8) on your older Mac. This thread focuses on OS X El Capitan. In this video, I go over the process of installing macOS High Sierra on an unsupported Mac. This process involves the use of 'macOS High Sierra Patcher', whi. Update 2019-05-02: For those of you who want to install macOS 10.14 on an unsupported Mac, check this post. I have a MacBook Mid 2007 (more technically named MacBook2,1) that officially can not be upgraded beyond Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). It is however possible to install Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) on it with quite good success and not too much effort. Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V. Anagh September 25, 2018 at 10:49 AM Reply. I did that before and what happened to you happened to me.

What do you need?

1. An 8Gb or bigger USB memory stick2. MacOS Sierra Patcher for Mac - it will create a custom USB installation3. MacOS Sierra installation App4. AUSEnabler - it will help you get future software updates on your installation.

For known issues, read here.

Steps:

1. Go to Spotlight - System Information - Hardware Overview - Model Identifier and note the value. In my case was MacBook5,1

2. You need Install macOS Sierra.app in your Applications Folder.

You can get this from a newer (supported system), from a friend or if you have a supported computer.

3. Run MacOS Sierra Patcher for Mac and, using the 8Gb+ USB memory stick, create a custom bootable installation kit.

4. When the creation of the tool is finished, reboot the computer, keep ALT/OPT key pressed, and select the USB device on boot.

5. Install MacOS as usual and wait for the process to finish.It will restart, but will not work, so you need to repeat the step 4 and boot from the USB drive, to run post installation tweaks.

In the first interface after boot, select from the top menu: Utilities - MacOS Post Install

Now, you must select the correct Model Identifier for your hardware (see Step 1) and apply the suggested tweaks and reboot!

Select your mac model Identifier

6. Use AUSEnabler to get software updates.
