Updating your Hackintosh/Hackbook to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 + 10.6.7 SleepEnabler.kext

Thomas — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 23:31:00 +0000

Earlier today, Apple released the 7th update to its Snow Leopard operating system. The update boasts a few minor bugs that most are likely unaffected by, though it’s worth updating, even if only for the satisfaction of running the latest version of the OS. Much like the previous Snow Leopard update, 10.6.6, the update is [...]

Thomas — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:10:24 +0000

Update: A few users have reported the App Store becoming unresponsive when attempting to install apps. I was able to install the Twitter app without issue, as have a few other users. Feel free to report any issues in the comments below. Hackintosh users rejoice! 10.6.6 was released for Snow Leopard users earlier today (Kernel 10.6.0), adding [...]

Updating your Hackintosh to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 + 10.6.5 SleepEnabler.kext

Thomas — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 04:30:29 +0000

As the fifth update to Snow Leopard, 10.6.5 was released earlier today. 10.6.5 doesn't really bring any noteworthy changes, though it's wise to run the latest version of the OS. Apple also often requires the latest version to run certain software, so an upgrade should be performed for compatibility reasons.

Perfecting Your Snow Leopard Hackintosh

Thomas — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:45:05 +0000

Note: As of June 17, 2010, the Retail Snow Leopard Installation Guide includes these updates. If you followed that guide after June 17, 2010, you will already have these updated kexts and therefore should ignore this guide. With much excitement, I bring you this update guide to finally resolve the audio issues in Snow Leopard. [...]

Updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.4

Thomas — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:48:21 +0000

Note: If you require the legacy kernel you must follow step 4a. Otherwise, you should skip that step. Just one day after Snow Leopard 10.6.4 was released to the public, it’s up and running on the 1525 with practically no effort. The USB ports now work at USB 2.0 speeds, even without the removal of [...]

Note2: DO NOT update if you have a Celeron Processor, or any other processor that required you to use a special kernel when updating to 10.6.2. Simply follow step 4a to install the legacy kernel for [...]

Have you updated your little Atom-based hackintosh to 10.6.2 and now are stuck with an unusable lump of plastic? Well, there’s an easy fix: downgrade your kernel. These simple instructions (courtesy of meklort) should get you back on your feet: Boot from whatever medium you used to install OS X. Go to Utilities -> Terminal. [...]

Chameleon RC3 is out- Now with Snow Leopard support

Thomas — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 06:16:26 +0000

Without gaining much attention, another update was released for the widely popular Chameleon bootloader. This time, it was updated to RC3 (still no final release yet). This update doesn’t bring too many enhancements although one that it does bring is important. The main change is support for Snow Leopard. This means that users no longer [...]

Snow Leopard, Apple’s next OS in their lineup after Leopard, was recently released. Thanks to the widespread hackintosh development of Leopard, Snow Leopard can also be installed on your PC. Fortunately, this OS is quite easy to install (much easier than Leopard) and, for the first time on the 1525, we will be booting a [...]

OS X 10.5.8 Installation Guide

Alex — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:23:02 +0000

The first time I tried installing 10.5.8, my keyboard and trackpad didn’t work. I reinstalled OS X, and tried again. My keyboard and trackpad worked fine after the update. When Thomas updated, he kept getting kernel panics until he booted into safe-mode (-x) and installed the audio drivers. Just goes to show that this can be [...]

Chameleon RC2… It’s here

Thomas — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:17:55 +0000

As you can probably guess from the title of this post, Chameleon RC2 was released as an update to the previously released Chameleon RC1 (No sh*t?). Because the RC2 doesn’t boast that many new features, just a couple on important bug fixes and a couple additions that the average user won’t notice or use, we [...]

Drivers Galore! (The Master Drivers Guide)

Thomas — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:18:56 +0000

Over the past couple of months, many Leopard drivers have been released, updated, killed with OS updates, etc. To keep up with all of these changes, one must refer to 12 different posts, two encyclopedias, and a lawyer to go through all the fine. I figured “If people have to look in so many places, [...]

10.5.7 Download

Thomas — Tue, 12 May 2009 21:32:31 +0000

***Instructions for installing 10.5.7 are up and can be found here*** Just wanted to make a quick note and say that if you are going to be so kind and help out testing 10.5.7, go to the download page on apple.com instead of through Software Update. Software Update and Apple.com use different servers and right [...]
