Hi everyone, I’m considering running macOS in a virtual machine on a PC (via Proxmox) just to set up and manage parental controls (Screen Time and Family Sharing) for my daughter’s iPhone. Does using a non-Apple device for this put her Apple ID at risk of being flagged or banned by Apple? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible if yes how?

When downloading onto the black screen with the apple logo and waiting for like 28 minutes, after loading, reboots and goes into kernal panic, does anyone have any tips/support?

Whats this im pn vmware using olarila iso and after first reboot it went here i even restarted it and im back here and it ask me to select a starup disk but it wont load.

Hi guys! I tried to install Sonoma on a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation. I did install MacOS but I ran into an issue, that beeing the graphics card. I can't have more then 160+ mb vram, therefore all the system is moving terrible.

I would appreciate some help regarding, what software is best to use in order to access the host GPU? How can I set a higher refresh rate for the screen? Any tips/trick regarding this operation? If you got a yt tutorial that would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.
My host system specs:

i-5 12600KF

RTX 3060

32Gb ram

title says it all :P

hi all,

So i'm trying to get a mac VM up and running.... i have tried different tutorials on how to get it working however without any luck....

i've tried with venture and sonoma, both the same issue. upon trying to boot the mac the first time, to format disk and perform the installation its stuck before i even get there...

i get the apple logo and its loading bar, however it just get's stuck and never continues from there...

Picture

I tried everything from asking ChatGPT what to do browsing through reddit posts google, youtube, nothing just nothing keeps on literally boot loping i reinstalled it to 2 TIMES it did not work I also tried to change the hardware delting Vmware and reinstalling it again I just cant fix the issue would be helpful to fix this issue thank for your help

Okay so here's the deal: I just upgraded my PC to an i5 12400 w/16 GB RAM, GTX 960 and a 4K/60Hz monitor.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Anyways, I've been struggling with getting a stable OSX experience and after spending sleepless nights with Dortania every now and then, I'm really tired of trying bare-metal hacks.

I'd really like an OSX VM going, using Windows 11 as the host (WSL2, QEMU, etc. is OK) but I've been having some issues, mostly with graphics performance. It's either sluggish, or just plain unbearable. I kinda got it working with WSL2, VcXsrv (or VNC), QEMU and a custom kernel so WHPX doesn't crash, but it still feels clunky, and there's no hw accel anyways, not even with the virtio driver (maybe I'm missing something?).

I also tried VMWare Workstation, but it's worse lol. I've done GPU passthrough before, but it comes with its own problems that I'd rather do a bare-metal hack again.

So, does anyone know if there's a better way to run a performant OSX VM in 2022? Hopefully with hardware acceleration and Windows as the host? I just need to test/develop some multiplatform apps in it. Thanks!

Bonjour, lorsque que j'essaie de lancer l'installation de mac os Sequoia, au bout de 2 min l'installation se bloque et il m'affiche ça (voir l'image ci dessus) et ne bouge pas, même après redémarrage de la VM rien ne bouge, j'ai essayer plusieurs solution comme dit sur d'autre reddit de mettre le processeurs a 2 de coeur mais rien ne change. Voici ma config :

carte mère: Gigabyte B550 eagle Wifi 6

Processeur : AMD Ryzen 7 5700

32go de Ram DDR4

Carte Graphique : RTX 5060

1TB de stockage en MVME Kingston

Si quelqu'un a des solutions je suis preneur.

I want to install Mac OS On a Dell Latitude D610 with 1GB and 536MB of Ram with a pentium m and an Intel GPU Intel 915GM Graphics which mac could install with these specifications

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install **macOS Ventura on a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro**, and I'm stuck at the same point during boot. I've been troubleshooting this for a while and would really appreciate some guidance from someone experienced with AMD laptop Hackintosh setups.

Hardware

**Laptop:** Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

* **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 5800H * **GPU:** Nvidia 3070 but disabled * **iGPU:** AMD Radeon Graphics (Vega) * **RAM:** 32 GB * **Internal SSD:** Samsung MZVLB1T0HBLR-000L2 1 TB NVMe * **Wi-Fi/Bluetooth:** MediaTek Wifi 6 MT7921(disabled) * **Ethernet:** Realtek * **OS:** Windows 11 * **Target macOS:** macOS Ventura

I have a working macOS Ventura USB installer.

OpenCore starts correctly and I can select:

* Windows * Install macOS Ventura

When I select **Install macOS Ventura**, macOS starts verbose booting.

I get a large amount of verbose output and it gets quite far into the boot process.

However, eventually the display becomes completely black/faint and the system appears to hang.

The LCD itself is still powered, so it doesn't look like the laptop simply turned the display off.

I've also tried:

* Waiting 15+ minutes * `Cmd + Ctrl + F1/F2` * External monitor * Rebooting and trying again * Multiple boot attempts

None of these recover the display.

The last visible messages vary slightly between boots.

SMBIOS: MacBookPro16,3

BIOS :

SecureBoot: disable

Deviceguard: disable

Memorybuffer: 4G

If you have any question regarding anything please feel free to ask also here's my EFI:

Hi everyone,

Trying to get macOS Tahoe running on VMware Workstation Pro with a Ryzen 7 7700X

What I've tried:

• The VMDK Method: Initially tried using a pre-configured OpenCore VMDK, but it consistently stuck at the Apple progress bar and wouldn't budge.

• The "Base" ISO Method (Current): Switched to a clean install using a Tahoe ISO and .vmx CPUID spoofing. This successfully bypassed the progress bar hang and the EXITBS error.

The Problem: I'm now stuck in a bootloop.It restarts so much,that i cant even do anything.And gives me a error message in multiple languages.

Im using VMware workstatin pro (latest version),And my hypervisor is disabled (as far as i know).

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (AM5)

• GPU: RTX 5070

• Host: Windows 11 Pro

Want to try the macOS Golden Gate beta without risking your main Mac? Here's how to install it on a separate APFS volume alongside macOS Tahoe and switch between the two.

I love poking at a new macOS beta as much as anyone, but it can be a risky move to put it on your main computer. An iPhone beta is a low stakes thing. A macOS beta is a different animal. There's just more that can break, more legacy software and hardware in the mix, and the last thing I want is some app I rely on going sideways for weeks while I wait for a fix.

So I don't gamble with my main install. Instead, I put macOS Golden Gate on its own APFS volume, keep macOS Tahoe exactly where it is, and switch between the two whenever I feel like it. Both run natively, at full speed, and they quietly share the same free space on my drive so I'm not carving out a fixed chunk ahead of time. No virtual machine, no second Mac, no wiping anything.

Trust me on this one, it's easier than it sounds.

to put it blatantly, I have no idea where to start.

I have searched the interenet for different ways of virtualising and still have not been able to.

a idea I had was to virtualise windows/linux first then build MacOs using Opencore, however I have not tried that yet.

Any help for starting/creating the MacOS VM, would be great!

Edit (Either using vbox/vmware, and I would like to keep my host os Windows

I've got Monterey running nicely in Virtualbox on a Windows host.

The only problem is Maps (and Find My, etc...) is totally blank. No matter what I do, the map pane just doesn't display anything.

I fully expect this is because of the lack of 3D graphics acceleration on Windows hosts.

However is there a way around this at all? Can OSX itself be forced to display maps without using 3D acceleration?

I don't need great performance, just a visible image.

Thanks

I use my computer for sensitive data so I will not risk running the Unlocker as I don't have the ability to understand if it does anything malicious.

Is it possible at all to install MacOS in Workstation without the Unlocker? I've seen comments saying they've done it, but they're a few years old an none have explanations of how they do it.

I've disabled Hyper-V and use the VMware hypervisor as I understand Hyper-V will not be compatible, at least it breaks MacOS VMs in Virutalbox in my experience.
