Introducción

No dejes que tu Mac envejezca y quede obsoleto. Instala la versión compatible de macOS Mojave.

Por favor, ten en cuenta que si instalas cualquier actualización de Mojave de Apple en tu Mac, "bloquearás" tu máquina y se te pedirá que borres tu HDD / SSHD / SSD y comiences de nuevo.

    • Descárgate directamente una copia de la herramienta de compatibilización de Mojave aquí:

    • macOS herramienta parcheadora de Mojave

    • Asegúrate de que tu Mac sea compatible (en "Requisitos") antes de comenzar.

    • Es necesario disponer de una memoria flash (USB) de, al menos, 16 GB y una copia del programa para poder seguir con el proceso.

    my mac got brick after update. i try to reinstall os high sierra. but cant choose the original harddisk. what should i do?

    Dennis Hanani Production -

    do your disk appear in disk utility ?

    Antoine Moreau -

    my problem is another one. I bought a new MacBook pro retina in late 2013 that supports Mojave but no way I can install it. app store pushed me only Big Sur since it works on this model but it slows down and don’t need it. Right now I have 10.9.5 macOS and I only get errors where download a Mojave version from the internet. Since its new computer cleans no need for any time machine or backup just a basic Mojave update. How to fix that?

    Vlad Movila -

    Same thing happened to me. after update. got bricked. having trouble re-installing system.

    Iain Cunynghame -

    i have another problem and i don’t know if i can solved with this post. i bought a macbook pro 16, 2019, and only this model can’t support Mojave, so i don’t know if i use this Mojave Patched, i can downgrade my IOS form Monterey to Mojave.

    • Cuando la app ya se haya descargado completamente, abre el archivo .dmg y espera a que se monte.

    • Dentro del archivo .dmg verás una aplicación llamada macOS Mojave Pathcher. Ábrelo pulsando dos veces sobre él.

    • Si te saltara un mensaje de error como el de la segunda imagen puedes solucionarlo pulsando con el botón derecho del ratón y dándole a abrir (3ª imagen)

    What should i do if it says i can’t open it because it doesn’t answer?

    • Ahora formatearemos la memoria flash para que la podamos usar con la herramienta de compatibilización.

    • Inserta tu pen drive en el Mac

    • Abre el gestor de dispositivos (Disk Utility)

    • Escribe "disk utility" en la búsqueda de Spotlight y debería de aparecer enseguida.

    • Borra todo lo que esté en el dispositivo flash (pen drive) y a continuación formatea macOS Extended (Journaled). El nombre del dispositivo no importa.

    Instead of macOS Extended (Journaled), I have OS X Extended (Journaled). What does this mean?

    • Si tu Mac no está soportada por esta herramienta de parche, ésta te hará saber que tu computadora no soporta el parche Mojave. Si este error se muestra, es el fin del camino para tu Mac. :-(

    • Vuelve a la ventana de la herramienta de parche y ve a la barra de menú.

    • Los pasos siguientes son necesarios solamente si no tienes una copia del programa de instalación de Mojave.

    • Haz clic en "Tools" (Herramientas), y luego clic en "Download macOS Mojave" (Descargar macOS Mojave) en el menú desplegable que aparece.

    • Cliquea en continuar, y luego selecciona donde guardarás el instalador.

    • Yo guardé el instalador en mi escritorio. Guárdalo donde quieras, solo recuerda dónde lo has dejado.

  5. TCUSglXVaYpqg2ys

    • Cuando el instalador de Mojave se haya descargado, selecciona el icono de Mojave en la ventana de macOS Mojave Patcher.

    • Selecciona tu instalador de Mojave y cliquea "abrir".

    • Ahora, selecciona tu volumen haciendo clic en el menú desplegable debajo de la imagen de un disco duro. Querrás seleccionar el nombre de tu unidad USB.

    • Mi unidad USB no es Macintosh HD. No selecciones tu unidad de disco duro/unidad de estado sólido/unidad de estado sólido-híbrido. En lugar de eso, selecciona el nombre de tu unidad USB.

    • Cliquea en "Start Operation" (iniciar operación). Esto podría tardar un rato, basado en la velocidad de tu unidad.

    It is saying that it is unable to restore image ps I am using external hd

    Crowns Deckays -

    A chaque fois, on m’indique que le patcher était une version non valide

    Khalid -

    Même chose, version non valide.

    Une solution ???

    Xavier Van de Meersche -

    Avez vous bien la dernière version du patcher ? Car sinon vous ne pouvez pas installer les dernières versions de Mojave

    Antoine Moreau -

    I am stuck on “restoring image…” its been like this for about 3-5 minutes

    ziyad alyousif -

    Out of curiousity how long does it take to copy the files to a USB if I am using Ethernet? It seems stalled after it remounts the target volume during copying?

    • Cuando el proceso esté completo, desconecta tu unidad USB y apaga tu Mac.

    • Presiona el botón de encendido en tu Mac y mantén presionada la tecla Opción en el teclado tan pronto cuando veas la pantalla de inicio gris o el logotipo de Apple.

    • Si solamente tienes un teclado de Windows, conseguirás el mismo efecto que con la tecla Opción si mantienes pulsado ALT.

    • Mantén pulsada la tecla Opción hasta que veas una pantalla que se vea similar a la imagen que añadí.

    You don’t need an Apple Keyboard for this part - any USB keyboard will do, just hold down the ALT key, it does the same thing!

    Si Bob -

    above is correct

    tr121 -

    You dont need a wired keyboard. A wireless one would do. Just hold on to the option key.

    Jon May -

    no me deja hacer la usb me manda error

    cobain2001que -

    Dice: Cuando el proceso esté completo, desconecta tu unidad USB y apaga tu Mac.

    Luego dice: Presiona el botón de encendido en tu Mac y mantén presionada la tecla Opción en el teclado tan pronto cuando veas la pantalla de inicio gris o el logotipo de Apple.

    Desconecto la unidad USB y apago el MAC, luego enciendo el MAC pero en ningún lado pone que tengo que insertar la unidad USB.

    No tiene sentido. Aun así, deje la unidad USB insertada y encendí el MAC en el modo Startup Manager (Power Button + Option) pero no me aparece la unidad USB, solo un disco duro y uno del modo recovery.

    Alguien sabe por que?

    Cristian Udrea -

    I only got a prohibition sign on the white screen at this point after it restarts. Anybody knows why?

    firehuntress -

    i have the same problem y select my usb and charge until the prohibition sign comes out

    cgyc1990 -

    no deja instala, sale un icono en pantalla de que no hay nada en el usb.

    andresfernandezgomez83 -

    After holding the Option key, I get a screen similar to the example, but only 2 options show up. ‘Master’ and ‘Recovery- 10.12’. How can I proceed?

    Kelci Ptak -

    That’s because your patched USB isn’t recognized, retry from step 3 or try with another USB or SD card

    Antoine Moreau -

    My USB isn’t being recognized and I repeated Step 3 three times. Help! And it’s a brand new USB drive.

    Emanuel C. -

    Ciao, probabilmente non hai aspettato che finisca la copia di tutti i files: l'apparizione della finestra con i nomi dei files può indurre a chiudere l'app, perciò chiudila e verifica la fine del processo di copia.

    I do not see the yellow USB icon, only my hard disk and another icon named Recuperation. My USB stick with the Mojave installer is still in its socket but was ejected before the reboot. Thank you for your help.

    I have a MacBook Pro 6.2 so compatible. The system starts on the USB key, the apple appears; the cursor travels half of its line and appears as a crossed out circle. Nothing afterwards. Thank you for your opinions

    Noël Dubau -

    Bonjour Noel,

    As -tu Pensé comme demandé à étape 1 : à vérifier si ton Mac est compatible (dans "Requirements") avant de te lancer.

    Et ta clef est-elle bien une clef comme recommandé : 16GB USB 3.0 USB Drive laquelle doit être effacée puis formatée en macOS étendu (étapes 3 et 4).


    Pour l'instant je ne vois pas quoi d'autre pourrait empecher la copie du patch sur la clef.


    J'ai fait toute la manip étape par étape sur un Mac Pro 5.1 début 2009 avec Sierra, et tout a bien marché.


    Le tuto me semble pourtant très clair.

    A+

    • Solo realiza los pasos 8 y 9 si intentas hacer una instalación limpia. O simplemente, puedes saltarte estos pasos e instalar en tu volumen que contiene una versión anterior de OS X, y hará una actualización en la unidad.

    • Abre la Utilidad de Discos yendo a "Utilidades" en la barra de menú.

    I can’t get any further than this screen. My cursor moves but it won’t click. Any ideas?

    en réponse à Maurizio Mosctelli je dis :

    • Cliquea en tu HDD/SSHD/SSD en la barra de menú lateral y cliquea Borrar en la parte superior de la ventana.

    • Selecciona Mac OS Extended (registrado) o APFS y nombra tu HDD/SSHD/SSD con cualquier nombre que quieras que tenga.

    • Se requiere el formato APFS en Mojave para obtener las actualizaciones habituales del sistema de software. Si prefieres seleccionar Mac OS Extended (registrado), no recibirás ninguna actualización del sistema.

    • APFS trabajará en los modelos de finales de 2009 y posteriores como con High Sierra. Si tu dispositivo no admite originalmente High Sierra (y, por lo tanto, no puedes comenzar con APFS), no tendrás particiones de recuperación y la pantalla de reinicio será diferente.

    • Cuando hayas borrado tu unidad correctamente, haz clic en "Utilidad de Discos" en la barra de menú. Cliquea "cerrar" y Utilidad de Discos debería cerrarse.

  10. kotryRXyVcOoZJpA

    • Cliquea Continuar en este menú.

  11. LwHvJokLsdHpHSOk

    • Haz clic en tu HDD/SSHD/SSD que quieras que se instale Mojave. Cliquea Continuar después de haber seleccionado tu unidad.

    At this step I get the comment “There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD to install.” I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air with 136 GB free on a 500 GB drive ( I upgraded from the original 250 GB). What could be the problem?

    cshop -

    I had the same issue. Even deleted more files to make more space.

    Turned out i had to deactivate FileVault (took two days to decrypt), afterwards the installation went smooth, just as described here.

    Peterchen -

    You have to create a volume in the disk utility

    Naeem Green -

    Hi there. I’ve MBP 13 2010 mid and installed High Sierra with the latest updates. I’d made all that steps and I’ve standing on at the progress bar loading stage. It’s moving up to the end and nothing happen. I don’t know how to be in this case. Can you help me? I don’t know what’s wrong. I’d tried this about 5-7 times and each times are same results. Also I’d made NVRAM and PRAM reset ⌥Option(Alt) + ⌘Cmd + P + R but it’s also nothing happen. I can’t start Mojave installation process

    Rustam Rakhimov -

    Not sure if it's why I have an issue at this point but my icons look like external drives not the hardrive icons you have. My main disk has the hard rive.

    Ian Braz -

    At this step my progress bar appears but never proceeds. Shows "About 19 minutes remaining" forever and then times-out. Tried it a couple times with the same result. Any ideas? Much appreciated!

    • Siéntate y relájate mientras Mojave se instala en tu Mac.

    • Pro tip: si quieres ver que está pasando "detrás de cámara" de la ventana del instalador, puedes presionar Command + L para ver el registro de instalación.

    Salut et merci pour toutes ces descriptions. L’installation s’arrête à 16% puis erreur signalée. Pourtant j’ai tout suivi à la lettre j’ai un MacBook Pro 5.5 mi 2009 donc normalement compatible… une solution ?

    Bonjour,

    Suite à cette étape j'obtiens juste un rond barré et le MacBook (mi-2010) s'éteint tout seul. Le processus d'installation a été jusqu'à la fin et s'est éteint tout seul.

    Comment récupérer ou réparer ce dysfonctionnement svp?

    Dom -

    Sorry pour le post, je pensais avoir mis le doigt dans une faille mais il faut refaire la phase 6 et pour l'instant (étape 15) cela suit son cours.

    • Cuando el instalador haya terminado, apaga tu computadora.

    • Sigue el paso 6 de nuevo para reiniciar en tu unidad de instalación de Mojave.

    • Esta vez, en lugar de instalar Mojave de nuevo, necesitaremos instalar los parches necesarios para que Mojave se ejecute con normalidad.

    • Haz clic en macOS Post Install en el menú lateral o en el menú desplegable en utilidades.

    Bleibt noch zu erwähnen, das nach dem Install ein Fehlerlogo erscheint, dann wie beschrieben runterfahren und starten.

    • Selecciona tu tipo de Mac en el menú desplegable.

    • La herramienta de parche automáticamente detecta tu modelo de Mac y muestra cuál tienes. Si estás inseguro sobre cuál Mac tienes, selecciona el modelo de la imagen.

    • Mi sugerencia es que selecciones TODAS las casillas de verificación que puedas. No hace daño y puede ser de ayuda después. Muchas de las casillas de verificación son necesarias para que Mojave se ejecute correctamente.

    • No todas las casillas estarán seleccionadas al principio. Asegúrate de seleccionarlas todas.

    • Elije la unidad para los parches (el que acaba de instalar Mojave). Haz clic en el parche después de hacer todas las cosas necesarias anteriores.

    MacbookPro late 2011. RAM 10Gb. Patcher has stoped installing at about 65%. The wheel bellow stopped to rotate itself as well.

    When you select the type of machine you are installing this on inside the Red Box, and the actual partition you’re installing on, the check boxes below will change to suit your machine. Some options will or won’t in available for your model. So wait until you choose the machine type then select below. Also there are newer patches that are not in this installer that will present themselves when restarted up and you have survived the initial system setup, the first time, and get to the new Desktop. Install those, when the process is done, it will ask if you want to reboot or not. “Reboot!” When you get back to the desktop, “Welcome to your new install of moʊˈhɑːvi!’

    FarmerBob -

    Deregard the above diatribe. . . . This version has changes that I was not allow to made above.

    When you select the type of machine you are installing this on inside the Red Box, and the actual partition you’re installing on at the bottom of the panel, the check boxes below will change to suit your machine. Some options will (checked and greyed out so you can’t change it) or won’t be available for your model. So wait until you choose the machine type and the partition it’s going on then select all the available check boxes that you can. If your machine doesn’t need it, it won’t be installed.

    Also there are newer patches that are not in this installer that will present themselves when started up and you have survived the initial system setup and get to the new Desktop. Install those, when the process is done, it will ask if you want to reboot or not. “Reboot!” When you get back to the desktop, “Welcome to your new install of moʊˈhɑːvi!’

    • Cliquea en Reiniciar cuando todos los parches se hayan completado.

    • El parche podría reconstruir la caché luego de presionar Reiniciar, así que sé paciente y espera que tu Mac se reinicie por sí misma.

    Remounting your new Mojave partition might be necessary.

    • Deberías haber reiniciado en una copia completamente funcional de Mojave. Felicitaciones!

    • Si el reinicio no es exitoso, inicia nuevamente la herramienta de parche para reinstalar los parches y selecciona la casilla "Forzar reconstrucción de caché" antes del reinicio.

    Completed all steps successfully, will not reboot into Mojave. Get blinking file. Internal drive is seen in disk utility.

    Same hare, exactly the same disapponting result.

    I have, as it seems, succeeded in installing Mojave on my MacMini 5.2 (mid 2012) following the instructions above.

    But: after the reboot (Stap 15) and removing theinstaller USB stick, al I get is the blinking folder icon with a question mark!

    Does anyone have a succession to solve this problem?

    Jaap van der Veen -

    Addition:

    When booting into the MacMini startup manager the only choices I have is internet recovery or choosing a WiFi network.

    In target disk mode the MacMino does mount as an external drive and does seem to contain al usual suspects when it come to folders and files.

    Did not work for me as an update from el Capitan , it keeps "rebooting loop" (after multiple time "force cache" pach) .

    As "clean" install work's on external drive, but after "migration assistant" my files, again keeps "rebooting loop" .

    Now i stuck with a Mac doing nothing,

    I can run only the installer from "Startup Manager" ("option key" on rebooting)

    (MacBook pro 4,1 the same as video) - (formatted disks "mac os extended journaled")

    Can anyone help? Thanks

    For those that had an issue… I have a 2010 MBP that I tried this on.

    On Step 14: “Choose the drive for the patches (the one where you just installed Mojave). Click patch after doing all of the necessary things above.”, my drive wasn’t displayed, my only option was the thumb drive. If I rebooted to my HD, I got a circle with a line through it, indicating no OS.

    I was able to complete the install by re-booting to the thumb drive, opening Disc Utility, and “Mounting” the hard drive (click on your HD then click Mount).

    Once the hard drive was mounted, my HD showed up in the MacOS Post Install, and the installation completed successfully.

    Hope that helps!

    OMG! This worked! I had older versions of the Adobe Creative Cloud software downloaded on my MBP early 2009. After sluggish performance for quite sometime, I did a total HD wipe and reset the laptop like brand new. However, when I went to download the Adobe Creative Cloud, ALL SOFTWARE WAS INCOMPATIBLE! I almost had a heart attack because I only use my laptop when traveling, to work! I’m a graphic designer! My laptop only goes as high as El Capitan OS. So anytime my Adobe software updated over the years, it would install newer versions until they were no longer compatible. But those last compatible versions were still on my hard drive. But of course, with a system reset, all that was gone! Thank God I stumbled on this tutorial. I had many headaches and hiccups following the instructions and after several days of missteps, I FINALLY got it right! Hallelujah! My Adobe apps are downloading to my system now. Phew! I’m about to leave a donation because this saved my mobility working life! ????

    Soweit Alles geklappt (iMac 11,2). Jedoch stimmen die Farben z.B. der Icons oder der Punkte in jedem Fenster nicht. Der rote Punkt zum Schliessen ist blau statt rot, der orange Punkt zum Minimieren ist statt orange hellblau. Auch das Google-Logo sieht komisch auch. Woran kann das liegen?

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro. I’ve gone through this process. Everything has worked great, till I reboot. It gets most of the way through then it hangs up. I’ve let it set for hours and nothing. You have any suggestions?

jetjock256 -

After initial install, the computer cannot complete reboot without the patch “MacOS Post install” (see step 13 above). This will require a hard shut down (hold down the power button if it is stuck) and restart holding down the alt/option key until you can select the installer again. This time, do not reinstall the OS but click on the button on the side (or double click it), or select in the pull down menu.

This will need to be repeated for updates, if new updates also get stuck.

Hope this helps.

I have a Macbook 2008 with 10.7.5 on it and am being told that is the end of the line. Will this work on my Macbook?

Bill Hines -

If it’s a white MacBook you can hack Mountain Lion and maybe even later with the OS X Hackers tools (which I’ve never used.) If it’s an aluminum 2008 MacBook, it is compatible with the Mojave patcher.

Replying to my own question. Yes it work . Today I tried. Thing is now after post patch. My keyboard won’t work. Guess I need a original Apple wired keyboard . Tomorrow I go office and try if that is so valuable maybe should buy from my boss

Alex -

can this be installed on a 2011 with an already faulty GPU or does the GPU have to be working for the first boot?

lewis Barker -

yep it can work on a faulty GPU. I run it on a MacBook Pro 2011 17inch with a faulty GPU and it runs like a dream.

Anthony Kaisaris -

After I finished installing everything, My keyboard doesn’t work properly. I can press shortcuts, but I can’t type in Safari or other applications, but I can type in spotlight. I’m using 2009 iMac.

When I installed it first, the keyboard works well, but after installing Onyx and used the Onyx maintenance tool. After restarting then the keyboard shortcuts works, and I can only type in spotlight.

One thing I love about this patch, is the fact that I now have Siri.

So how can I resolve that keyboard issue?

Sarki Amada -

Hi Sarki, I think I may have found the solution to your bluetooth device not working. Read this article here’s the link:https://blog.macsales.com/46143-macos-10.... You have to delete the Bluetooth P-list heres the steps:To delete the Bluetooth plist file, follow these steps:

Open a Finder window, and browse to /Library/Preferences.

Locate the file named: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.

Select the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file and drag it to the trash.

Empty the trash.

The com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file will be recreated.

Go ahead and try using or connecting a Bluetooth device

I really hope that helps! If you have more trouble be sure to let us know and if you have sucess.

Marshall WahlstromHelgren -

Hello everyone,

does anybody knows if the bluetooth keyboard is working after installing the patched mojave?

Are there any issues with software that will not work on the patched mojave?

Thank you in advance for the replies

how can I uninstall the patches if necessary?

Subhy Omar -

Hi,

I installed the patch on a Mac Pro 2008 3.1 and I’m experiencing a lot of issues… Graphic issues even if my graphic card is in the list of compatible cards (Nvidia), Logic Pro crashing all the time. Wifi not working, airport card not recognized. What should I do ? Also, know that I installed the High Sierra patch before and it worked perfectly, I just had to change my airport card. I wondered if I can downgrade to High Sierra.

I must also give the information that I took out the SSD of the Mac Pro (where the system is installed) and brought it home to do install the patch and Moyave from my MacBook Pro. When I had the window asking me the model, I choose Mac Pro 3.1. Maybe this have an incidence on the issues I have.

Thanks for your help.

Innacity Man -

I installed MacOS Mojavi on an unsupported 2011 Mac Mini to 10.14.2. Previously, I had upgraded the HD with an 256 SSD, and I am happy with the ability to upgrade. I even used the Apple upgrade to 10.14.3, without bricking it!

David Petersen -

Trying this, but the tool won’t download Mojave - always High Sierra? Any ideas? I’m running a Macbook 5,1 with El Capitan.

Cho -

Upgrade to High Sierra first.

rynousa -

Just to let you guys know if you have a working hard drive and you dont want to loose your data skip step 9. Theres no need to format the HDD the patch will work as an update.

Aron Jones -

The article claims that you will have installed a fully working copy of macOS Mojave. That isn’t quite accurate. There are two important functions that are not working Quartz Extreme and Metal. You cannot used iMovie for one because of this deficiency.

John Donahue -

That’s not true. I was able to run iMovie 10.1.12 (highest version for High Sierra) on Mojave on MacBook late 2008. Version 10.1.13 was closing when I was creating a project or importing media. Fortunately I had another MacBook with natively supported High Sierra and I just copied version 10.1.12 from there and it’s working!!!

Mariusz Kozłowski -

Hi! This is an original Mojave os? When i install it, i got an original Apple Mojave os?

Balazs Bota -

Thank you for this great guide!

Can I just ask for clarification about the statement at the beginning: “Please do note that if you install any Mojave update from Apple on your Mac you will "brick" your machine and you will be required to do erase your HDD/SSHD/SSD and start over.” Does this mean that if Mojave is placed on an unsupported Mac, then things like automatic updates or future security updates released by Apple should NOT be installed on the device?

jlepawsky -

I just installed Mojave on a 2011 iMac. It is running 10.14.3 and has taken an Apple update without bricking. Websites/internet/wifi/bluetooth/USB all run smoothly. HOWEVER, the system is VERY slow now compared to when it was running High Sierra. Objects moved across the screen create acid trail duplicates that persist for some time. Any idea what could be gimping the system? Please advise.

J Kanter -

Received error message (macOS could not be installed on your computer) during installation on my disk that had apple installed MacOs High Sierra. I decided to do a clean install as the partition with the MacOs High Sierra wasn’t booting again. I keep getting the same error message after some time during installation. What do I do?

joerichlad -

Installed Mojave on my aluminum 2008 MacBook 2.4ghz professor with no issues and it is running it perfectly! I upgraded to a 250gb SSD and that really gave it a boost.

My isight and facetime work work with no issues, in addition to the other onboard apple appps. 3rd party apps are working like a dream and it actually runs faster that El Capitan IMO. What an amazing different and I would like to thank the developers of this for giving our older macs some new life and features!

Todd Bates -

I have updated my Mac and it is now running 10.14.2. many thanks.

I see that 10.14.3 is now available but cannot update to it as it is “not compatible” with my machine.

Any ideas what the issue may be?

Martin Dalgleish -

It worked flawlessly on my macbook air 11” mid 2011, on my macmini mid 2010 and even on my macbook white unibody!!!! All of them with SSD and memory upgrade (except for the macbook air, which runs on 4Gb RAM). Running smooth and no problems until now! Thanks for this patch, it gave new life to those old, but great machines!

Rodrigo Del Monaco -

Encountering App Store sign-in problem. It appeared to keep on ‘un-sign-in’ although I had signed-in successfully. Purposely tried with wrong password and it appeared incorrect password error message. HELP HELP! WHY CAN NOT SIGN IN ?

Derick Chua -

1. If App Store is running, quit the app.

2. Open the Terminal (you can search for it using Command-Space).

3. Copy and paste this: defaults delete com.apple.appstore.commerce

4. Run the command.

5. Open App Store, sign in, and hit retry a few times.

László Jóni -

After performing final patch, an error popped up saying the volume of Mojave is not a valid copy and rebooting the original HD does not boot succssfully. I downloaded the patch tool from the link provided. Any suggestions on the fix? I feel that my HD is unrecoverable at this point…

drummerboy -

Installation went well on my macbook8,1. Late 2011 13” pro.

However, I had to go to disk utility to mount the ssd drive, then go back and install the patch.

And……the camera does not work nor does the screen brightness buttons. After multiple tries with terminal and terminating vcd and appleassistant, etc etc, I reverted back to High Sierra. No fix possible.

But, the guide above is very good and made my job easy. Thanks!

ted melville -

Bei Schritt 7 nach der Auswahl des USB Sticks und der Enter Taste, komme ich in einen grauen Apple Start Screen der sehr lange läd und am Ende gar nichts mehr macht… was ist passiert? Was habe ich falsch gemacht?

I get stuck on a white screen with the apple mac logo after loading data from the USB, any advice

thanks in advance

Rabih Ibrahim -

my macbook pro late 2011 do not display the boxes when turning on .

Mimi Tasani -

NOTE: This will look absolutely terrible if your Mac uses a pre-Metal graphics card. If that is the case, you may be able to patch it with this: https://github.com/SpiraMira/HybridMode-...

However, I haven’t got it to work yet on an iMac 7, 1

Caleb Hester -

Not worked with 10.14.5

Edgars Sējējs -

Hello I’m pretty sure ive followed every step correctly but when rebooting the start up screen goes from white and loading to grey then it restarts saying there was an error…. any Ideas on how to fix this?

Nick Cochran -

Hi guys! Followed every step on my macbook pro 8.2 late 2011, also followed dosdude1 steps to disable the dedicated gpu but when the laptop boots after the bar fills until half a circle shows and after it rotates for a while nothing happens. Also repeated the patch procedure but nothing happens. Im completely stuck and the laptop is unusable. Please help me!

Rimi -

I’m having the same problem! Could someone help?

Perm Sauce -

If anyone’s boot screen stops halfway. Go to the maker of the patch’s website. http://dosdude1.com/mojave/ He has the most recent patch. It should boot normally after installing using the patch from his website.

Perm Sauce -

This happened to me with the updated installer I’ve been trying this all day today. Crazy thing is, i’m trying it right now and i’m not sitting at the spinning icon. It’s just slowly progressing and I have my fingers crossed because like an idiot I clean installed this stuff so without access to another Mac I cannot get high sierra back lmao.

Cody Goodling -

So I have been unable to get this to boot correctly. I’ve followed all the steps I have a mid 2010 13 MacBook Pro. Idk what’s wrong.. I’ve tried this so many times…

Cody Goodling -

Cannot get step 14 to work please help

Alan Grayson -

@ iFixit You guys need to update the download link for the Mojave patcher with the original link from Dosdude or close this thread completely because you are messing people’s macs with the old link. Thats what happened in my case. My macbook pro was stuck in boot and I had to redo the entire process with link from dosdude to get my mac working again.

Rimi -

Dont do it it nearly bricked my iMac. Its shift option command + R to fix their unless guide.

Neon Jay -

How long the patch takes to do the final reboot?

essam osman -

Huge thanks for the tutorial, worked like a charm on MacBook Pro 8,1 late 2011 model.

Daniel Busey -

Make sure everyone here uses the latest version of the Mojave patcher for 10.14.5 from dosdude’s website. Don’t use any old links posted in this guide. (I just updated the link in the guide to the latest version as of now.)

Luke L -

While running the post patch, my he doesn’t show up in the ‘select volume ‘ option. Can someone please help?

rynousa -

I have installed on MacMini (Early 2009) successfully.

During the process I had face off with 2 problems:

1. The patcher app wasn’t capable to download the Mojave image file…after a couple of seconds the download has canceled. So, I have to download it from elsewhere.

2. After the successfull install I have realised Mojave couldn’t connect to AppStore.

Solution:

If App Store is running, quit the app.

Open the Terminal (you can search for it using Command-Space).

Copy and paste this: defaults delete com.apple.appstore.commerce

Run the command.

Open App Store, sign in, and hit retry a few times.

Hi, I'm using MacBook Pro late 2011 will operate well

In”bricked” the iMac and can’t find Disk Utility whenever I select “Command +R” at start-up.

Seamus Warren -

I tried to install on MacBook Pro 2012. Patcher recognized version 8.2, so I chave chosen that.

As result after restart OS has stopped installing patches at about 80 percent of progress strip.

NO SUCCESS :-(

How long it should take?

Andrzej Gawron -

You don’t need to patch the installer for a 2012, the 2012 MacBook Pro supports Mojave natively and will support Catalina this fall.

Jonah Aragon -

I tried to install on AirMac 2.1. I looked to complete the procedure. Now, I’m rebooting the machine and it is taking very long time. Is something wrong?

Yoiichi Yamada -

I was able to install Mojave on a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. HOWEVER, the audio doesn’t work and I also can’t increase or decrease the screen brightness. Anyone else having this problem? Please share if you know how to fix.

Xavier -

Hey Y’all,

Just wanted to let you know the version of the patcher contained in this article is deprecated. The patcher downloads the 10.14.4 version of Mojave, but the version of the Patcher you have linked in this article can’t install the Post Install Patches resulting in a permanent hang on first boot. Totally fixable, I’d update the link to point at Dosdude’s most current version which installs and works like a dream! Just thought I’d let you know, spent awhile backtracking and fixing this after downloading the patcher from this article lol.

Cheers!

Quinten Larsen -

hi,

i was wondering if this would work on both my Mid 2011 AMD Radeon HD 6770M, and my mid 2011 macbook air 11” i7. reading the notes and from what i read online it would be a bad idea to try on my 2011 due to the graphics but would this issue be fixed? would this issue update benefit my macbook air 2011 with the right click issue (you have to keep tapping the right side and magicly the option appears. thanks for the heads up in advance.

Hello I have done this with my MacbookPro8,1(Late2011) there is no problem I see since 2 weeks. There is a update for Catalina on settings. If when I click update it starts to download but I didnt finish it because I have scared about may I will have problems. Is someone tried it update to Catalina after this Mojave patch?

Bravo guida perfetta. Aggiungerei che con una chiavetta usb 3 sul mio mac mini 2011 non faceva il boot. Ma usando una chiavetta usb 2 tutto ok come da tue istruzioni.

I installed it on my iMac mid 2010 (graphic card ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB) but now I have troubles with colors (orange is blue for example) and when I drag the windows. Is the graphics card the problem?

albe -

Did you get this resolved? I have the exact same imac and was about to use this patch to update for my son.

mandispring -

Will this also work for an MacBook Pro 16 (2019) MacBookPro16,1 ?

Gerard Dirks -

A couple of things that I noticed: After the install (before the patcher, the screen on my MBA mid-2011 went white (since it could not reboot without the patcher). I did a hard shutdown and restarted holding the option key to get back to the installer for the post install patch.

Second, updates from both the patcher (for mitigating known update issues) required a restart which worked but the second time through with Mojave updates got stuck similar to the original install and required a re-post-install patching like before. This could be disturbing for folks who don’t realize this.

Douglas Lee -

I tried to install the Mojave on an SD Card. Alle ist working finde until the Patch try to personalize the volume.

Error: “asr: Couldn´t personalize volume /Volumes/macOS Base System“

Sonia Yassa -

I have El Capitan on my macbook late 2008 (2.4ghz). Are people upgrading to mojave for security reasons or added features in the Mojave update? Because I would assume that updating the Macos to a newer version will only slower your computers performance. Am I missing something?

Hi there.

I need to have Lion installed on iMac 14,2. Since the machine was manufactured prior to Lion release, they are not quite in good terms, and iMac insists on not having Lion in :)

So I used another Mac to have Lion installed on an external and copied it into the non-cooperative one - no luck either, for it banned Lion from booting anyway …

Any idea on how to cheat them into some sort of liaison?

anka4400 -

È il mio stesso problema.

Sembra che Apple non consente di installare un sistema operativo precedente alla versione installata al momento della vendita della macchina.

It's my own problem.

It appears that Apple does not allow you to install an operating system older than the version installed at the time of the sale of the machine.

Well, actually we seem to have the same problem.

It’s a pity the developer included this limited number of OSX’s in the Patcher.

Paa -

Hello All,

BE CAREFUL

I did the last security update of Mojave (2020-004 I think) on my MacBook pro 17” (Early 2009) and now its restarts in loop. Any information about this?

PIC -

My Bad !

Everything is explained in the section called “Additional Info” of Dosdude1 tutorial:

“After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.”

My problem is solved.

Great job Dosdude1 and thanks to Ifixit! I am so happy to give a second life to such a beautiful machine!

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe nun den 5. Macmini 2009 mit dem Mojave Patcher bespielt - bisher lief es immer einwandfrei. Bei diesem mal aber funktionieren aber bei Starten die USB-Treiber nicht mehr.

Wenn ich vorher mit OPTION den Start unterbreche, dann ist noch alles in Ordnung, sobald aber die SSD das gepatchte Mojave startet kann ich das Land nicht auswählen. Mit Auswahl der SSD oder mit Neustart ohne OPTION werden alle 5 USB sofort ausser Betrieb genommen.

Ich habe die festplatte nochmal gelöscht und neu formatiert und wieder neu installiert und anschließend gepatcht, aber es taucht der selve Fehler auf. Hat jemand ein Lösung?

Heya. I managed to install 10.14.6 on a SSD in a Mac Pro (early 2008). I followed through with the post install, installed security updates, repatched with the post install and everything is working… more or less.

The only issue I have is that the Mac Pro won’t boot on the first go. The Apple logo appears and looks like like it’s booting but then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I have to do a cold shutdown, wait a couple of seconds and the fire up the Mac again. Then the boot process works.

Did I miss something with installing dosdude’s patch?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

It’s really weird, the other colors are correct ? try command, option and F5 at the same time to show the accessibility menu, I had the colors inverted once and I struggled to change it. Or I find something similar to your problem on the internet, I hope it will help you !

Vielleicht kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

I’ve now successfully updated an old 2011 Powerbook and Macbook Air with this patcher. As mentioned already, if you do a software update with Apple be sure to re-apply the patcher. I’m heading over to donate. The developer of the patch deserves it.

Actualice mi Os de mi MacBook Pro 2009 sin problema , lo único que e notado es que al abrir Spotify se queda la app en negro y lo mismo con chrome, a que se debe o que debo hacer para que se puedan visualizar ? Así mismo me pide actualizaciónes de aplicaciones sin embargo cuando actualizo hay un error que indica que no se pudo completar la actualización por error en el disco y se reinicia, hasta que de nuevo hago el proceso de activar el parche de Mojave de nuevo

Steff Em -

Al final todo ha ido estupendamente en mi Imac de 27” late 2009. Si que es importante copiar las extensiones de la gráfica de Radeon que tengamos en High Sierra y pegarlas en la misma carpeta dentro de Mojave. Esto es sencillo y soluciona el problema con la gráfica ya que cuando comienzas a correr el Mojave los colores se invierten y las carpetas al moverlas, cuando están abiertas, generan fallos. Así que lo dicho. Aquí dejo enlace de vídeo donde se explica muy bien qué hacer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ql6q_q...

Sólo me planteo una duda, una vez con el Mojave funcionando a la perfección, debemos actualizar a otras versiones como la Monterey? Yo he desactivado la opción de buscar actualizaciones, pero dejo ahí esa pregunta.

Felicidades por el tutorial y gracias.

Just a hint: at step 13 the button "MacOS post install" wasn't available instantly, neither in the side menu nor in the top menu. I could see it but I couldn't click it. After I clicked the "Continue" button like to install Mojave the next screen with the Apple conditions occured and the buttons "MacOS post install" were available both.

I upgraded my iMac 2011’s graphic card to a NVIDIA Quadro K3100M by nikey22 4096 MB. Will I have issues with this Mojave install? This is a metal compatible card. I wonder if I will need to install the “legacy video card” patch or more importantly, I don’t wanna hose my computer.

bonjour,

merci pour votre réponse qui me permet de vous féliciter pour la clarté et l'efficacité, très pédagogique, de votre tutoriel concernant "macOS Mojave pour mac non supportés par apple" . je me permets néanmoins de vous adresser une remarque qui, de mon point de vue de personne encore peu habituée aux process informatiques, mériterait plus de précision. je m'explique : à l'étape 5 vous écrivez "Sélectionnez le volume formaté précédemment en cliquant sur le menu déroulant sous l'image du disque dur".

Et là, à cause de ce "précédemment" j'ai compris qu'il s'agissait de la clef USB formatée précédemment (à l'étape 3) or ceci s'est avéré erroné j'ai donc recommencé l'étape 5 en choisissant un des volumes formaté (macOS étendu journalisé) de l'HD de mon Mac Pro début 2009 - Mais sans retoucher à la clef dont je ne comprenais plus le rôle après l'étape 6 (éjection). Puis j'ai continué jusqu'à l'étape 9 où j'ai sélectionné un autre DDI. J'ai donc maintenant 2 OS Mojave sur 2 volumes différents. préciser donc si vous le désirez ce précédemment; Avec encore mes remerciements et félicitations.

Bonjour Marc,

Merci encore de nous faire parvenir votre retour, fort utile. En fait, la traduction française n'était plus à jour. Je l'ai mise à jour. iFixit étant un wiki, la prochaine fois que vous remarquez une imprécision ou une erreur, vous pouvez aussi effectuer directement le changement dans le texte. Merci encore et bien du plaisir avec votre Mac dans sa nouvelle jeunesse !

Bonjour,

Le lien sur dosdude1.com ne fonctionne plus. D'autre part, j'avais sauvegardé ce patch sur un disque dur il y a 4 ans, et mon Mac que j'ai reformaté m'indique que ce patch est incompatible avec lui (alors qu'il a fonctionné pendant plus de 4 ans...).

Avez-vous une autre solution ? Sinon, je vais rester bloqué à Snow Leopard de nouveau...

Ho un mac book pro fine 2009 ed ho seguito i vari passi fino al 7; quando riavvio vedo solo il disco interno. Non ho usato una chiavetta USB ma un disco USB SSD in cui ho creato una partizione da 8GB (come se fosse una chiavetta). Ho provato diversi modi di formattazione ma non c'è nulla da fare. Il problema può essere la partizione del disco fisso al posto della comune chiavetta?

Merci pour ce tuto que je m'apprête de réaliser. Mais avant de me lancer, j'ai cru comprendre que cela effaçait tout le disque, donc de tout perdre!. Est-ce exact?

Merci

Yes, dear Walter

Si le disque choisi pour l'installation est le même que celui qui contient ton précédent OS et tes données il est très recommandé de sauvegarder ( c'est à dire de copier l'intégralité de son contenu ou, mieux encore, d'en faire un clone sur un disque dur externe pour prévenir tout risque d'éventuel incident lors de l'installation du nouvel Osx . Ainsi tu pourras toujours redémarrer sur ton ancien systeme en cas de pépin.

It worked fine with my early 2008 Mac Pro, possibly due to upgrading my Graphics Card. It also lets me upgrade to Vetura, has anyone tried it?

Bonjour Noel Dubau,

As -tu Pensé comme demandé à étape 1 : à vérifier si ton Mac est compatible (dans "Requirements") avant de te lancer.

Et ta clef est-elle bien une clef comme recommandé : 16GB USB 3.0 USB Drive laquelle doit être effacée puis formatée en macOS étendu (étapes 3 et 4).


Pour l'instant je ne vois pas quoi d'autre pourrait empecher la copie du patch sur la clef.


J'ai fait toute la manip étape par étape sur un Mac Pro 5.1 début 2009 avec Sierra, et tout a bien marché.


Le tuto me semble pourtant très clair.

A+

I am planning to do this, since I don,t want to change my portable, but Adobe Creative Suite does not work like before and the Adobe Creative Cloud only runs on Mojave. Did anyone install the Mojave patch on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and tried working with the Adobe Creative Cloud. Any issue after installating. I am afraid I wont be able to go back and reinstall all my stand alone sofware I bought in the past. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premioere, etc. So It's a big move. The suite might even work after installation, if I dont perform a clean install. Thank you, any of you tried the move

I was gifted a mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It is in great condition and the previous owner did a couple of upgrades including two 4 GB DDR3 memory cards and a 1TB SSD Hybrid drive. There is literally nothing on this computer as far as files, photos, music, all of the things that usually take up hard drive space and memory. Only the operating system -- High Sierra 10.13.6 and any apps that came along with that. Of the 1Tb there is 998.9 of unused space, lol! I was hoping to upgrade to Mojave. Mostly because I have an autistic teen and wanted to be able to download some apps for him to use. When I read the physical requirements for Mojave it seems like my MB pro has it. I have searched countless websites and some say mid 2010 some say mid 2012 are the requirements. IF it is mid 2010 then I have everything one needs to upgrade to Mojave so I don't understand why I can't. I'm here because I tried following the steps to do it on this webpage and it didn't work. I tried saving to an external drive. There must be a way!
