Then, I will continue to use my iMac, noting that it has never worked so wonderfully well since I bought it. ![]() Now, however, since the hinge has been repaired perfectly, I have stopped considering the purchase of the new iMac. Therefore it is legitimate to suspect that someone from the Marketing has deliberately ordered to plan the failure after a few years from the expiry of the guarantee. If there had been Steve Jobs, in this case, this person would have stopped working all over the world. Instead, two plastic washers were intentionally designed and made, at the cost of making the fabrication more complicated and a little more expensive.įrom my point of view it is either pure nastiness or some bad Engineer may have acted in bad faith, despite being very good at knowing how to design this splendid hinge. Nothing would have been simpler, therefore, to use either two metal washers or, better still, a single metal bar (with two holes for the two screws), as I maked. The hinge, in fact, is wonderfully engineered, which means that it has been calculated based on weight and function. But if you saw the two plastic washers that have given way and how thin they are, you would understand that have been purposely designed to fail after a number of years. Well, I repaired it by replacing the two PLASTIC washers with a metal rod that could never, ever give way under the pressure of the two springs. Regarding planned aging, my iMac was just dead, some days ago, since the hinge broke. I was about to do it, until a few minutes ago. This means that Apple shouldn't have ruled out my iMac from Big Sur and laters.Įven in what I add below, apparently O.T., it suggests that many aspects have been overlooked in Big Sur to entice many of us to switch to the new iMacs. ![]() ![]() )Īs soon as I installed Monterey, instead, my iMac started working completely fine, as if macOS Catalina had been installed and not a Beta of two successive Systems. With Big Sur I have never been able to get Photo Booth to work and it took several changes to the OpenCore Legacy Patcher before my films were working in Apple TV. Who says Apple has ruled out nVidia cards in macOS 12?. In my 27 '' late 2013 iMac (i7 CPU - 24GB RAM - nVidia GTX 780M 4GB) Monterey works better than Big Sur! The picture is the same external USB SSD installed Monterey plugged to a MacBookPro9,1, booting currently without OpenCore. On dualGPUs IntelHD4000 IGPU Nvidia Kepler dGPU the Big Sur AppleIntelGraphicsHD4000* kext and its AppleIntelFramebufferCapri provide the Brightness control, GPU power management and switching, Ethernet also works without kext patching. Weirdly if manually installed the IntelHD4000 Big Sur drivers currently only works on a dualGPUs Nvidia Kepler GPU, while on a single GPU IntelHD4000 produces a similar loginwindow crash as non Metal (non framebuffer patched) GPUs. I tried to replace some patched Wifi kext but kmutil refuses to rebuild kc correctly, because they rely on many dependency symbols on AppleBCMWLAN* and IOSkywalkFamily.kext so eventually an OpenCore kc patch would fix the AirPort43 drivers while keeping the stock Monterey Wifi driver.Ībout the minimum unsupported Metal Mac that are Ivy bridge, as many already wrote what surely works without efforts (just with -no_compat_check) on unsupported Metal acceleration OOB is any Nvidia Kepler based GPU because those drivers are present on stock monterey kernel collection (and its Extensions folder). IO80211FamilyV2.kext in IO80211Family.kext IO80211Family.kext in IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext I also noticed that apple changed and renamed the Wifi kext in this way: Now the weird part, while installation completed smoothly, on MacBook7,1 the welcome screen worked even if is very slow, after create the admin user there is a kind of loginwindow or skylight crash so can't log to desktop, let's say only the "setup assistant" graphical environment showed correctly, I'd attempt some AGC kext and plugins replacements. I used MacBook7,1 and installation completed correctly on external USB SSD with less efforts than I had on Big Sur, then using my previous BigSurBaseSystemfix (based on a patched hybrid BigSur beta3 beta9 BaseSystem), through "BigSurFixes delete snapshot" I still can even delete the ".update" of Monterey resulting in a working "mount -uw /" (hence I removed telemetry plugin for C2D kp and ist from Preboot) In my case to install Monterey I used a modified BigSurBaseSystemfix making a new patched Monterey BaseSystem, through the ASentientBot HaxLib, IOHIDFamily and patched boot.efi ![]() Hello everyone, I made some attempts to install and boot Monterey either on unsupported non metal and unsupported metal Mac, I'd share my insights.Īll the known installing method are nearly identical to Big Sur, some main examples: HaxLib.dylib, OpenCore, OCLP
