Updating Your Hackintosh to 10.7.3 Hi all! This should bring your hackintosh all the way to 10.7.3, with all base system updates perfectly fine to do (minus 10.7.4, of course.) The only problems I’ve had with the build are sound on occasion and sleep. Hopefully, though, all goes well for you. :) Well, before I […]

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 […]

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.

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.
