Question:I read somewhere that it is possible to install the latest version of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion on my Mac, even though the official installer refuses to install.Can you give me any directions?Answer:Updated answer:MLPostFactor has been succeeded/replaced by, and is now being updated by a new crew of programmers. MacPostFactor also supports installing OSX versions up to OSX 10.10 Yosemite on older Macs. @Ahmed C.A.:Even though I’ve read about a “Special OSX-update routine” it seems like there’s no need to use that, as long as you stay within the same version of OSX.In your case, that would mean that (as long as you’ve used MLPostFactor to install OSX 10.8 Mountian Lion), you can just update to any new version of OSX 10.8.x using the Mac App Store.To my knowledge, all OSX 10.8.x updates have been tested to be compatible and run without problems.Just don’t try to upgrade to OSX 10.9 using the Mac App StoreThat’s it.Enjoy!

Hey there,i’m loving MLPF on my iMac late 2006it’s all working so smooth and great except of 2 issues i discovered directly after install itas first: the connection to any SMB-Clients in my Network failed so i can’t connect to themand as the bigger issue my System Preferences are crashing everytime directly after i click on bluetoothi’ve searched for hours & hours how i can resolve this but till no all steps which i found and tried were uselesscan you provide any tips, Tricks or suggestions what i can try to may make it work again?
@bjoern:Only OSX-versions supported by Apple can be installed directly onto any Mac. Macbook 2.1, 4gb ram, 128gb ssd, after installing vga kext file works “fine” but without smb and afp network support, and after updating to 10.8.5 thru command line i can’t connect to my home wifi, but i can connect to neighbor wifi or my test wifi, reconfiguration of router doesn’t help. 😀 internet thru LAN no problem, but still no networking almost the same with 24 inch iMac 6.1, 3gb Ram, 128gb SSd, Nvidia GT7300 128MB, but you don’t need install vga kext file.run “out of the box” for me is the big fail the networking, but i’m trying for solution the second fail is from apple side, that they disappear support for relatively efficiently computers, because i can always run any other modern OS without any problem,for almost “anything” PS: “Live long and prosper”.
Hi,I have macbook pro3.1 – A1226 mid 2007 (895) with 10.5.8 – I checked in terminal it has EFI64120gb, RAM 4GB, NVDA GForse8600, 124mb videoUsing my new iMac and MLPS v1.0.1 I make usb 8gb with Mountain lion 10.8.5and install that on a macbook pro, installation done well.After restarting I see logo on white screen and rolling wheel under,just before entering mac restarting, again and again, this process is looping.What can be wrong?I had already repacked it.- nothingI reinstall version 10.8.4 – nothingThanksArtem. @Freek:to be honest: your MacBook2,1 (a.k.a.
@macmanus.nlYes, i know he is a “bit” oudated 🙂 but i have chosen the macbook in favor of a newer model because of the stability. I’ve installed mountain lion 10.8.5 and i am pretty satisfied with him( i can watch online movies, mkv movie files, etc, etc, etc)I would install maverick just to see how it’s working(i don’t pay anyone to install it, i do it myself. A new (or newer one) is scheduled at the end of the year, for the mean time for what i am doing what i have is enough:). 10x for the reply(in the mean time i’ve learned how to uninstall and reinstall just safari:D). @Freek:do you mean you are going to move to Windows and away from OSX?just curious: why would you want spend (waist) time to get your MacBook running a newer version of OSX?if you’re planning on moving to Windows, and you have time to play, your time might be better spend by installing Windows on your MacBookif you install BootCamp you can run Windows 7 (the option to install Windows XP is no longer supported by Apple)and if you install VirtualBox (free) or an other Virtual Machine, you can even install Windows 10.
Now plugin your 8 GB USB drive,Decompress the win32diskimager folder. I was not forced to convert. IMG file anything like it, either. A 16 or 8gb gb flash disk; original store app (OS X 10,8.2 Install.dmg). USB devices no longer recognised on VMWare Fusion 10. Same here - Mac OS Mojave, VMware Fusion Professional Version 11.0.0 (10120384). 8.Install Fusion normally. 9.Once installed, Quit VMware Fusion. When I switch the camera from webcam to RAW video output in VMware library. Format a USB drive as eFAT with Disk Utility; Download CentOS 7 Full. The does a raw copy which is much faster than a block-by-block file copy. To test the bootable usb drive spin-up a Parallels virtual machine with a 10.
@macmanus.nl officialy yes, 10.7.5 it’s the last supported version, but santa rosa(my model at least) has 4gb ram, 2 fizic procesors(core 2 duo) so the hardware allows me to go further. First i used mlpostfactor but i had to edit the system plist to show me 10.8.5 as mlpostfactor knows only as far as 10.8.4. With the macpostfactor everything worked a lot smother and my macbook is on 10.8.5 from august 2015 i think. The battery stil last betwen 2 and 3 hours and i had no issue with the system so far(it’s working pretty good with vlc on playing a movie, 10-12 tabs of safari opened and one of them youtube and playing a movie, email app opend, calendar, some finder windows and utorrent app started with 50+ torrents started)I can say that the macpostfactor even detected when i messed up and before i could restart the macbook applyed the patch again so i can boot up 🙂And the maverick install would be just to see if you can install it and if my model runs ok for what i’m doing with him. @Freek:if you are sure your data are safe, you like to play around and don’t mind spending and maybe even waisting timego ahead do the experiment if you succeed it will make you happy for a while 😉on your MacBook Mavericks will probably run slower than Mountain Lion but than may still be acceptable by your standardsbut keep in mind that Apple never updated the drives for the Intel GMA Graphics Card for OSX 10.8 and upand no-one else will do that eitherso even MacPostfactor will have to use the old 10.7-drivers in OSX 10.9that is a ‘sub-optimal’ situation to put it mildlyenjoy 😉.
How i’ve managed to broke safari?i wanted to install a newer version(and installed a newer version but it wouldn’t open because my system did not meet the minimum req.)So i’ve deleted the safari app from application folder(after altered the permission), opened terminal and use it to download safari(with curl) and reinstall the right version for me(curl -o safari.pkg ‘also deleted a folder from system, can’t remember now but i’m looking and post the name of the folder. @Freek:Q = My Safari.app is broken, how do I reinstall just Safari?A = here’s a step-by-step guide:1. Get info for Safari.app (broken version) and alter permissions2. Delete Safari.app3. Delete this folder:osx/library/staged frameworks4.
Download the Safari installer-PKG:5. Install Safari using the installer-PKGIs that right?I have some questions:ad.3 would deleting Safari.app using an uninstaller-app also delete the Staged Frameworks folder?ad.4 where did you find the right download-URL for the desired version of Safari?Thanks!😉.
@Tom:I sympathize with your nostalgia 😉And I completely agree if you think that not all innovations introduced since Mountain Lion are improvementsbut, Mountain Lion is from 2012and that means that Apple will put no or nearly no effort in updating it’s security any longer that makes your Mac more and more vulnerable to the ‘threats of the Internet’ each daysimple advice: always update to the latest version of macOS your Mac can handle (even if you don’t like the improvements)and if the latest version of OSX that your Mac can handle is over ca. 6 years old: never connect your Mac to the internet again.sorry.
