I've been running this on an old Mac Mini Late 2012 semi-successfully. However it seems some menus get blurry and some apps none of the art elements will load. Guessing it's things that try to call on Metal. Anyone seen or aware of a fix for these bugs?
It’s an normal behavior I would say. The graphics acceleration is still new and sometimes it can be unstable.
Hola ! No se si alguien me puede ayudar ? Cómo puedo introducir la contraseña para instalar OpenCore en el disco duro , después de instalar Sonoma ? No puedo introducirlo … estoy tecleando, pero no funciona sin embargo si voy en otra parte si que puedo escribir . No entiendo mucho de esto 😬 Solo quería actualizar la Mac de 2011 y no puedo terminar con el proceso.Me he quedado en el punto 14 . Por favor si hay alguien que me puede explicar le agradecería un montón .
Usa un teclado antiguo de mac, por cable, me ocurre lo mismo con los Bluetooth, aunque lo enchufe. En cualquier caso, si es de 2011 tendrá Sierra o posterior, mejor sería hacer actualizaciones progresivas, hasta lo que te deje, descargando cada instalador directamente de Apple.
Actualicé mi MacBook Pro de finales de 2.009 a Monterrey.
Tengo 4gb de memoria y lo veo lento. Si la subo a 8, ¿Mejorará?
Gracias
