Unfortunately this didn’t work for me I’m still stuck with the status bar about half way… 😢 Any other tips to get me out of this are greatly appreciated🙏

No need to buy MS Office of any version, just download and install the free Libre Office suite, or use Pages, etc but “export” your document in MS format rather than ‘save’ in Apple format.

I grew up an apple hater in the '90s. I bought my first mac around 2011/2012 with the MacBook Air. I loved it and loved macs ever since. I didn't fully switch right away as I was more of a PC gamer but over the years thanks to Vista, many windows failures and Apple silicone has turned me completely to a Apple user across the board and console gamer. Even though I was already primarily a mac user before M1 released, I felt like Apple was missing something to make the products even better. Come Nov 2020 and I got the answer. Intel was holding them back. M1 changed everything. I do have a MSI laptop from 2020 plus several old desktops but my M1 MBP with 16GB of that great unified memory and 2TB SSD is far superior in every way compared to the MSI with 32GB memory and I think 2 TB SSD. VS Code runs smooth in the MBP while freezes on the MSI. I love messing around with Xcode. Nothing in tech is perfect but Apple's hardware and software along with their customer service which thanks to their great quality rarely have to utilize, can't match anything on the PC side of things.

Val Kilmer transitioned from acting to youtubing? Amazing! His channel is awesome!

closed captioning with your accent is absolutely hilarious...

After resetting the nvram i booted into my disk but it's stuck in the setup and the same is happening even with safe mode

why use anything cloud, just share via ssh or smb. You can always change the ssh port to make it more secure

I use Google Drive also, but Microsoft 1TB cloud storage I also use as part of the 365 package, as it's less expensive than Google.

you can get previous versions of office for Mac. that come with outlook. office 2021. not 2024.

Thank you so much - even I already have had this problems 😂 But now I change from Win to OS completely. 😊 Ok, still on the way to the 🍏 😅

I use Wavelab Pro by Steinberg! A German company. Been using Wavelab Pro since Version 5 on Windows. Now Wavelab Pro Is both Windows and Mac.

The ability to Export a .pages file into .docx file, while annoying, is the incredibly important feature that makes it a viable word replacement for a new Mac owner. Just as long as they remember to export.

Hello i got an issue about opencore My macbookpro mid 2012 has 8gb from ram and intel core i7 3 generation and macos seqoia and my problem is The problem is: it frezzes every time on the macos seqoia and i need to reinstall all the operative sistem but in the windows bootcamp is really fast so... How can i fix that problem (Sorry for my poor grammar i am learning english)

LibreOffice instead of the other “office” programs.

I would always take the pay version instead of the subscription and look for a dealer who offers an OEM license. In other words, don't buy directly from Microsoft, as they charge significantly higher prices. I paid just under 30 dollars (~25 € in Europe) for my legal Office 2021 license linked to my Microsoft account. For the current version, however, you would pay around 60-80 dollars. The only question is, do you really need it? In any case, I wouldn't spend that much on Office, let alone sign up for a subscription.

I find the Mac version of Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) has missing important (to me) features compared to the Windows version.

I bought standalone versions of Word and Excel for my Mac for about $15 each. I bought them so I could quickly open/edit my Office files without having to launch Parallels and my Windows VM first. But during work hours, I only use the Windows versions of Excel and Word because I use custom toolbars and complex macros. The Mac versions don't have these features, or let's say they have some limitations compared to the Windows versions. That's one of the main reasons I still use Windows on my Mac.

I updated my 2015 iMac and it won’t allow me to put the EFI boot-loader on my internal SSD. So I have to keep the USB in order to login. It recognized the internal drive but won’t allow me to select it. It’s not a problem at this point because I have enough available ports. I was just wondering if this was a common issue.

Hi Jessie. Thanks for a good video. I have a MacBook Pro 15 mid 2012 with 1 TB SSD, 16 GM ram and the 1 GB Nvidia graphics. I prioritize reliability and no lag. Which is would you recommend for that? Monterey, Ventuta, Sonoma or Sequoia? Thanks 👏🏻

So I upgraded to Big Sur using the the lightweight tool for MacOS download and bootable USB creation. All went well with Big Sur upgrade, i then saw 15.2 Sequoia is available for download through updates which I did. I’m now experiencing some strange texturing and lag on the display. I know it was working fine as I got it with Sequoia installed when I bought it second hand. However i’ve formatted for safety and was totally ignorant to Sequoia unsupported then. Any help on the laggy display and textures issues would be super

I have a 24” iMac from 2009 with 8gb RAM and a SSD instead of the old HDD, and I was thinking on upgrading it to Sequoia. I only use it to work at the office, so word processing, spreadsheets and internet browsing. For this use scenario, the cons you pointed on older than 2011 macs doesn’t seem very important. Do you recommend it? Or should I install Big Sur instead? Thanks

I have a 2010 17" MBP 6.1. Would I be safe upgrading to Ventura (13)?

Hi Jessie! I just watch the video but you didn’t try all the apps viewing if the work perfectly. I always have the problem With the photos app, after installation 😢

Hello Jessie thanks for the video! Was great. Much friend I did to a friend the installation of OpenCore, in a a1278 2012, of Monterrey. Everything is working fine, but in the moment she opens the photos app, she clicks the photo to see it full size, and gets stuck, it shows in black.

I switched to PC and got rid of all these stupid problems.

Very useful! Thank you!

Hello! I have an MacBook Air from 2014. its Running macOS 14.7 and i am Programming over an usb Drive with Unity. Today was my MacBook always freezing and bevor it boots I get a Message in different Languages That my MacBook got an error and Tap or wait for the boot.

I have connectivity issue with my log K380 keyboard and a wifi mouse although my bluetooth speaker works fine!

I recently ran into a problem on my early 2015 MacBook Pro with open core legacy patcher OS sequoia 15.1.1 and ran into the do not enter issue when I tried to run a new root patch on the system I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong I tried to change some settings within the new root patch when installing it but when I tried to turn it on after the root patch it ran into the do not enter circle with a line threw it and ran all the script but then came up with an abort issue problem installing when I put into the boot loader the recovery option for sequoia also didn’t work, in trying to reinstall the latest version of os for my MacBook now with the online recovery mode. I just have 1 major concern if I do this will I lose any data from my MacBook? I produce music and a lot of it isn’t backed up anywhere els other then a time machine back up from almost a year ago with a lot of the new projects I have created not there will reinstalling the latest os delete any of the files I have due to having open core on my laptop?

I booted my 5,1 up again today for the first time in a while and was surprised to see a root patch for USB 1.1 support in Sonoma. You still would need a hub to apply the patches but I'm glad I don't need to have my mouse plugged into my keyboard all the time. I wonder when they added it, I haven't booted into MacOS for quite some time.

For everyone having problems with bootcamp installation crashing windows after the imstall , do not install drivers from bootcamp but instead get internet connection from lan or usb tether and install a software called snappy driver installer and this will get all correct drivers just install them one by one and you will be good I am currently running Windows X lite neon 23h2 on Macbook pro 9,2

Hi Jessie, I'm running Sonoma 14.5 and Sequoia 15.2 is available. Can I simply download and install 2.2.0. I'm using a 2017 mabook.

I got my daughter a 2012 Mac Pro, with no OS on it. Can I install OCLP and Sonoma on a new SSD with no Mac OS?

I can boot into the safe mode of my previous OS but not into Sonoma... I can't seem to get out of the freeze... no matter what I have done safe mode, NVRAM nothing worked . I previous had a old SSD that I was able to upgrade the OS to Sequioa but it was to smalll , I installed a new one and cant only get High Sierra to work ...

Hi, I really appreciate your video because I was looking for exactly this since I have the same mid 2011 Imac with non-metal gpu. I wanted to know if you tried the OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.2.0 version. Which supposedly fixes bugs for non-metal versions. How about anger? Thanks and cheers from Santiago de Chile

So I got my MBP 8.1 late 2011 upgraded via OCP 2.2.0 to Ventura 13.7.2 in a shop after installing a new SSD (256GB) and expanding RAM (8GB). Before the light worked just fine both with High Sierra (already with the new hardware) and after a try of installing Sonoma last week (with the old, original hardware). The keys are responsive, the sensor reacts aka when I move my hand the bar in the settings goes up and down. I also disabled the adjust feature, still nothing. Did the NVRAM and SMD reset, too. So far I tried: Installing root patches again and got this info: "Root Patching will patch the following: Graphics: Intel Sandy Bridge Miscallaneous: Legacy Keyboard Backlight". After rebooting it stays the same though. Installing Labticker, as Dortania recommends, still nothing. Tried Touche, as some folks on OCP githib sugessted, also nothing. 

 Any idea what else can I do?

Good morning brother. I m from India love your content. Macbook pro i9 2019 video's are required because people are very much confused weather to buy that model in 2024/ 2025. I recently bought this model not issues with it but felt little slower. Latest mac OS really required to operate this model? Please try to give lot more clarity on this particular model. Battery efficiency is my priority and also performance too 😁 not expecting like m1

Jessie, I need KDK help. I'm trying to do a clean install (not update) of Sequoia 15.2 on a MacPro 5,1. I did the USB install method, but the root patches don't automatically come with it. At least not the all-important Legacy USB 1.1. OCLP doesn't look for KDK files when I click Post Install Root Patches. It also doesn't ask for a password to install as Root like in your video. It just proceeds with the patch, including all the Metallib stuff. OCLP says that it is patching the Legacy USB 1.1, but it doesn't actually happen. I've gone over all the text that scrolls by during the root patching, and there is no mention of KDK. Nothing like your screen that shows it's checking for KDK files, or skipping because it found a local copy. And the folder /Library/Developer is empty. So I try downloading and installing the KDK package manually and run the Root Patch again, but the result is the same. It's like OCLP just ignores the installed KDK. I've been at this for a week. I've rebooted a billion times, including SMC and NVRAM resets. Please help.

All the usb-c on apple silicon MacBooks can be used to charge. So if pass usb-c cable with power to your adapter it should work. They are only rated to certain wattage so might not be as much as power brick.

Good luck on your journey. I have worked with Windows and Mac for a long time and have really only found a couple instances where I HAD to use windows for niche software, usually configuration and control software. I also am not a big gamer, only retro gaming which has many options on both platforms, as well as Rasberry Pi. I use a Logitech wireless Mouse (I use a trackball and always have back to my Amiga days) and keyboard using a single unify USB A receiver. Clears up wires and frees up a port. You can always use a hub like the Anker USB-C hub which has a bunch of ports (including sound and Ethernet, SDHC and HDMI) which leaves 3 ports on the MacBook available and will do all you need. I use an external monitor with the lid on the MacBook Pro closed so only one screen. But it works a charm and is only 1 cable connection to the MacBook Pro. All else is connected via the hub and monitor ports.

Welcome to the future

I am stuck on apple logo with bar at 1/3 after trying to install sequoia on 2015 pro 13 inch i5 any tips
