Mavericks will not work properly, so you're better off sticking to Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi, great tutorial. Could you pls do one to install Yosemite on this kind of macs, I've got a 2,1 MacBook from 2006 and I love tipping on it. It would be awesome. Thank you in advance

[@nelizmastr]

Yosemite is not supported or possible via this method. The Intel graphics can’t be made to work.

It’ll boot, yes, but without graphics acceleration macOS is not usable. So it’s not worth it.

[@AlexandrTVOfficialChannel]

I have a very bad problem on my Mac Pro 1,1 where I blindly (and stupidly) installed one of the things from the nexpostfacto folder and later I restarted my Mac Pro it would no longer start up and would instead go to the Apple logo than shut down and go back to the Apple logo again over and over. I have no clue what I have done and no clue how to fix this

You’ll need to repair your macOS install using the recovery. Select reinstall OS without formatting the drive if you don’t have a backup.

[@Txm_Dxr_Bxss]

How did you install the installer? I got the free and legal version from apple and it won't let me install it.

[@__1st]

First... Nice ONE, thanks for that !!! But I have still two questions :) Can I go directly from 10.5 to 10.8 or do i need 10.6 first? 2nd is it possible to watch KZbin on 10.8 with Waterfox Classic? I will appreciat your answer.

[@nelizmastr]

KZbin works fine on waterfox classic, yes. 720p should work well. I don’t think you can create the installer on OS X 10.5, so you’ll need 10.6 to create the installer. If you have another Mac that runs 10.6-10.15 you should be able to create it on that and just plug it into the 4,1 regardless of OS.

[@nelizmastr]

Depends on the error. Could also be that you need to redownload the program and ML app file.

[@sixteenbitify]

@@nelizmastr You can definitely create the installer under 10.5. I just tried it on my Intel iMac 2006 running 10.5 Leopard and I am now on 10.8. Thanks for the video instructions by the way.

[@nelizmastr]

Hi, You can’t install a new macOS by just checking for updates on these old Macs. Follow the tutorial if you’d like mountain lion. You will have to obtain your own copy. If your Mac has an ATI HD2000 or Nvidia 8000 series GPU or newer, you can run up to at least El Capitan, and this guide doesn’t apply to you.

Very nice tuto ! ML is still a very old system and we can't use much program on it. Does it work for installing more modern versions of macos on a 4,1 ?

NexPostFacto doesn’t support newer versions, no. The reason is that the Intel graphics can’t work in Maverick and newer. With Waterfox Classic, ML is perfectly usable as a web browsing machine.

Mountain Lion was not a free system, you can still buy it if you google it, or obtain it “elsewhere”. The DMG cannot be converted to an app file so it’s useless here, sadly.

Friend , do you know if I patched Yosemite with this and it switched the kernel for 32 bit , would it work . thanks so much. C.f.

Yes, Yosemite could work, but you won’t have working graphics. No fix for that because the Intel X3100 is too slow.

[@rickprescott9403]

Why do we need to erase the destination disk. What if the drive you want to upgrade already has a functioning 10.7.5 and you don't want to kill everything on it? As I remember it, back when, we didn't need to erase the drive to upgrade the OS. Is this a requirement of the special tool? My older Mac Pro (2007, 1.1 model) with upgraded video, Radeon 5770.

[@nelizmastr]

I would never recommend using this tool for an upgrade on an unsupported Mac, because this is an unofficial method and the potential for data loss is very real. Ideally, you should either erase or partition the drive and install this next to the existing Lion install and migrating data over once you’ve found everything works well.

[@rickprescott9403]

@@nelizmastr That's why I didn't do it on the Mac Pro in question way back when. Now it is backed up in Time Machine except for one folder. So if things go south I can restore, thus that's not a problem. But I go back to the original question - am I required to erase the drive to install the update (it's like my 3rd old Mac running iTunes as a media server)?

Not required, no. Highly recommended, though.

Can you tell me how to skip the password by 6:50 in the terminal. I tryed to just klick in the empty space above that or use CMD/ALT/ctrl/... but nothing works (Yes I have no idea what I m doing). Also I tryed to google first before I ask you ....but ....well.... now I m here and need help from the boss (; (I tryed it on Catalina and Mavericks )

[@nelizmastr]

You can’t skip the password. You need to supply a password there from a user with admin rights. The password cannot be blank.

[@marieyougangpene7380]

Please the link to the site !! Its not very clear

[@nelizmastr]

Which site? Nextpostfacto is at the parrotgeek website, you’re on your own to obtain a macOS installer as mountain lion was a system you needed to buy for $20.

how to install microsoft on old mac os?

[@nelizmastr]

Microsoft what? Windows? Office? Something else?

[@vidiosantuy8504]

@@nelizmastr microsoft office

[@nelizmastr]

In that case you can’t use any workarounds, you simply need to install a compatible version. For OS X 10.6 through 10.9 the newest supported version is Office 2011. For Office 2016 you need at least 10.10 Yosemite.

Pls create video ^Installing el capitan on unsupported core 2 dua macbook^ Pls!!!!

[@nelizmastr]

I’m afraid I can’t do that. Most unsupported Macs don’t have graphics acceleration on El Capitan (except the Mac Pro 2006/2007 with upgraded gpu) and that makes the system unusable and the video a waste of time.

[@nelizmastr]

Hi. That means there’s a typo in your command as it can’t find the installer file or disk. Make sure the paths are correct.

[@BrasilieroMan]

@@nelizmastr same error and the path is obv correct clicking and draging ... :|

[@Dutch_100db]

pls, make the video tutorial how you updating 10.7.5 to mountain lion, thx :)

[@nelizmastr]

If your Mac supports Mountain Lion, just install it as usual. Make sure to set the clock to any year before 2019, ideally 2012 or so to make the installer work. If it doesn’t this tutorial covers Snow Leopard and Lion if you’re upgrading as well. Run the installer from the OS rather than booting from a USB

[@roholdt]

Good totorial. :)

[@nelizmastr]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dreyyy1]

Thanks 🙏

i only have a dmg image os mountain lion

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Launch the DMG then you can use the file it launches. It’ll be the lion in a circle

Now my Macbook2.1 run 10.8 ML ...VEEL DANK!!!

[@georgesapasquinel2402]

Booting from the USB Boot stick gives me the Apple Logo and than it stays there 🤔

[@glovestech]

thanks

[@chriskalkman3815]

Oh BOY that's a yellowed MacBook. Not to worry, I speak from experience.

[@nelizmastr]

It’s not that bad in person, but the light I use has a warm tint to it, which makes it appear worse

[@Leon-thewonky]

never mind

[@nelizmastr]

If you don’t have a back-up of your files and another way to reload the original software, the failure is entirely on you, though.

[@Leon-thewonky]

@@nelizmastr The failure was on the first installation, of the actual software. It made it go into a kernel panic when trying to find the driver

NexPostFactor.

well I've patched my own computer and ill try again.

[@Leon-thewonky]

after reevaluation I installed the wrong version, possibly making it unbootable.

where did you get installer? doin this on a 2,1 macbook

[@nelizmastr]

Got it from Apple. Mind you, you need a Mac that natively supports ML before you can unpack it to install it to another Mac.

[@davejnathan10]

Hey is it possible to install on top of old lion and keep all data and settings?

[@nelizmastr]

In theory, yes. But make a time machine if there is any data of importance.

[@davejnathan10]

@@nelizmastr Thanks for the answer! I will make a backup first and try it

[@davejnathan10]

@@nelizmastr i’ve done it, yes you can install it on top of a existing lion, no poblem at all
