Successful install on my 2013 iMac. So far I’m finding issues with Zoom and Wakelet. Safari doesn’t work for these even after resetting password, etc. Other apps are fine. I ended up downloading Chrome for the two. Works fine now. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

17:20 Do we need to must erase the HD before installing the MacOS Ventura ?Anyone confirm ?

[@afroborilafemme]

FYI: Solve for a Problem I Had Near the End First, thanks Matt. Even five months later I was able to use this comprehensive tutorial to upload Ventura on my mid-2011 iMac. I ran into one problem which I think was a tiny oversight or just part of one of the more recent updates maybe. The Problem: At the very end I got a second pop up for moving the open core to the hard disk, the same way it happens here 24:22. Any restart would happen from the flash and prompt that pop up again. If I removed the flash a restart would go to my hard disk without the EFI and I’d have to do a hard reset because it wasn’t recognizing any operating system on the hard disk. Here’s the fix: Put the flash back in and restart, letting the Mac restart to the EFI on the flash. Then follow the steps as Matt prompts at 21:58 to 23:18. THIS TIME, hold down option on the reboot. (If you read the reboot screen it tells you to do that, you won’t believe how many times I couldn’t get this because I just never read it 🤦🏾‍♀️) Now pick the EFI that’s on your hard disk (make sure you don’t confuse it with the EFI from your flash or the hard disk itself). Then that’s it. It’ll start up as normal and you shouldn’t get the pop up again. Then you can safely remove your flash and you’ll never need it to start up again. You will not need to press option on the next restart either, it’ll automatically start up on the EFI from the hard disk. I hope this helps anyone having the same issue. Sorry if someone else already explained this, I couldn’t find a comment that did. But either way, it’s engagement for Matt. 😂 Thanks again for this tutorial Matt. Open Core can be intimidating for a layman if you venture on your own. I thought my mid-2011 was a paperweight but it’s almost like brand new! ❤

[@MassageGrottoSF]

Thanks for this. I am having a similar problem. However, at the end of supposedly moving the open core to the hard disk a pop up appeared for just a moment and before I could do anything with it, the screen started to load again. I am an absolute layman. But, it seems like it just automatically rebooted. So, I didn't have an option to hold option during the second reboot. If it happens again I may remove the USB and try again - but holding the option key when rebooting from the efi on the hard disk (hopefully its there). thanks.

I have MacBook Pro (Mid 2015) and this video was very helpful. For those of you who have same laptop I suggest follow same steps and install first latest version of the Monterey OS, then after you finish the installation, your laptop should detect that there is a Ventura macOS update, so just install it naturally through the update. Thanks for the video, Matt, it was very helpful.

[@ThePeter567]

Then your laptop is officially supported, meaning there is no need to do any of these steps. Weird though, since I thought Ventura couldn't officially be supported on devices released before 2017

Amazing Tutorial... Thank you so much, you helped me a lot. Just one question: After I installed the Ventura, in the end, should I run "Post Install OpenCore" ???

[@peteherrmann9956]

Great instructions. I successfully installed Ventura on my late 2015 iMac, but for some reason, it will not boot up without the USB installer stick inserted in one of the USB ports. Is this normal? Once I put the stick in, it gives me the option to boot up either from the internal HD, or the USB stick. It boots completely normal into Ventura on the internal drive, and once booted up, I can remove the stick. It just seems to need the stick in there. Just wondering if this is normal behavior, or I screwed something up when trying do the installation??

[@TheVideojuan]

Booting without USB drive Download OpenCore Legacy Patcher Change Patcher settings as you'd like •Build OpenCore again •Install OpenCore to internal drive instead of the USB Reboot holding Option, and select the internal EFI

[@steve6rocks11]

Hope this is useful, at 21:55 he gets the pop up to install the patches that allow you to boot up without usb stick. I never got that pop up, so I had to open the OpenCore app again. Once at the main menu, click Build and Install OpenCore - the same thing you did to install it on the USB originally, but this time on the hard drive: Then go back to the video where Matt left off after he clicks OK on the pop up - and you should be at the same spot where you can follow exactly what he does.

[@ThePeter567]

Maybe you might want to reinstall it from the USB stick. The USB stick contains necessary boot files that aren't on your computer yet. When you first installed Ventura, there should have been a windows that showed up that would install those files from the USB stick to the computer, but maybe you closed the window by accident. There might be a way to get these files onto the Mac from the USB stick without reinstalling, but I don't know how to do that yet.

[@janko.9513]

It's the same for me. At the very end, the last step was omitted, the window that should pop up does not pop up by itself, and therefore the booting is not good. I don't know what the solution could be.

This is exactly what’s going on with mine, no pop up came up after the install

[@enriquesanchez2001]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT explanation! Plus your distinct speaking voice was soothing and gave me the confidence I needed to understand everything you explained. Definitely going to subscribe now! Thank you, MATT! ♥♥♥♥

Quick question. I tried building the Ventura OS onto the usb but it failed so I did Monterey instead. Now that I have the latest Monterey installed now I’m receiving the notification that Ventura is available to install from Apple. Should I try it or would it screw up since Monterey is from OpenCore and not Apple themselves? I have the MacBook Pro mid 2012 i7

[@gianmariamastroianni1497]

Did you ended up trying? I'm running into the same scenario here :)

[@franknuninga]

Worked like a charm, thank you very much! (MacBook Pro late 2013, i7, 8GB,256 GB).

[@liamjukes856]

Hey there’s I’ve done everything in the video however I did not get the last pop up at the very end of this install with open legacy icon and I don’t know what to do now?? any pointers would be greatly appreciated

[@santiagogarzon5228]

SAME HERE, please help

[@genemcloud4114]

Hey Matt, I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I have Ventura loading from my USB but have failed to get it on my SSD. Do you mind walking me through what to do at this point? Thanks, Gene

[@tonywright8342]

I have the same issue, have tried reinstalling still not working. I don't get the popup at the end that asks about booting from your computer hard drive.

So cool. Thankfully my iMac Late 2015 (17,1 identifier) is fully compatible with everything macOS Ventura with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP). God bless macOS for old Macs hackers and KZbinrs.

[@dhplap9455]

after i install open core with Ventura onto Usb flash drive can I use that to install it on another supported device or do I have to start from scratch for the second computer? Thank you.

[@eren7yavuz]

Thank you, I installed Sonoma 14.3.1 on my Mac mini 2014.

[@turkergencoglu8056]

Merhaba @eren7yavuz.. ben de 2 ay önce macmini 2012 de bu yöntemi kullanarak ventura yükledim. Sonoma 14.3.1 güncellemesine uygun görünüyor fakat hata verir diye sonoma yükseltmesinden vazgeçtim.. Sonoma ya yükselttiğinizde herhangi bir sıkıntı ya da hata karşınıza çıktı mı? (I installed Ventura on Macmini 2012 using this method 2 months ago. It seems to be compatible with Sonoma 14.3.1 Update, but I was afraid that it would work incorrectly and I gave up on the Sonoma upgrade. Did you experience any incompatibilities or malfunctions when you upgraded to Sonoma?)

Thanks Matt..i upgraded my mac mini 2012(late, İ7).everything worked great

[@charley6307]

Hello buddy i have the same mac,Is it possible to upgrade from High Sierra to ventura directly.Happy to hear your feedback

[@turkergencoglu8056]

hi@@charley6307.. my operating system was catalina...first it was mountain lion and i upgraded it to catalina..i think you must upgrade to catalina..If your macmini doesn't allow upgrading, you can try the upgrade process explained by Matt..It's worth trying..Because when you use Matt's method, you trick the computer into making it upgradeable..If you dont have important information in your macmini, it is useful to try this method..

[@andrewyu5198]

This is great! i just did it.

On which model?

[@MattTalkTech]

Awesome! What Mac do you have?

[@gushilin]

I appreciate your video, it cleared up a bunch of uncertainty I had. Because all I had to do was follow your video.

[@dcpose]

Hey guys! I've noticed that Ventura is a bit slower than Monterey when it comes to opening folders, apps, and other tasks. Additionally, I've had some issues with the Wi-Fi tab in the system settings - sometimes it appears, and other times it doesn't. However, overall the system is working well on my mid-2010 Mac Pro."
