Mid 2012 Macbook Pro w 15 inch screen and Intel i7-core (1 GB SSD; 16 GB Ram) came through the upgrade process “Ok” with OCLP 1.50 and Sonoma 14.6.0 … I am assuming version 14.6.1 has now been tested at your lab … I can then simply allow the Apple installer to take over and perform the update from 14.6.0 to 14.6.1 the only caveat being an additional run of the patching software’s “update driver” feature thereafter a successful upgrade from 14.6.0 to 14.6.1 😊 0:38

You have best MacOS Supported & Unsupported installation videos. Luv what your doing. I take your advice very seriously and it has benefited my business very well. Thank you for all you do and the developers its really helping saving old MacBooks & iMacs from the landfills. Keep up the great work!.

[rustyp]

I successfully installed 14.6.1 on my 2013 27” iMac, however, I have been unsuccessful with this on my 2011 27” iMac. I have upgraded both to 32GB of RAM, I mean, it is SO SO cheap to do so since it is so old. The 2013 runs like a dream! Thank you for all you and the developers do for the community and for providing these EXCELLENT tutorials!

[thisisagtv]

I'm thankful for the chapter notes, great work

[yusynthman]

Hi I have successfully installed sonoma 14.6.1.0 on an external SSD 1Tb drive for my iMac 21"" (late 2013). So now I have a dual boot system, Catalina on the internal hard-drive and sonoma on the external drive. It works seamlessly. Many thanks.

[GeorgePyles]

I watch the whole video because I want/need to know whats up as a just in case, but I do appreciate the chapter notes as in the case with your 2010 Mac pro. I was able to refer to a point and grab a decent cheap video card to get updated from High Sierra for mine. Thanks for helping keeping us in the know.

[Eklund-ywog]

I can confirm that Sonoma 14.6.1 & OCLP 1.5.0 works perfectly fine on a mid 2010 iMac 27" without any mods.
Love your work you put in to this and to make sure all things work out before us regular Joes go ahead and install these updates to our old systems.

[tqxngrb]

2012 iMac up and running with 14.6.1, update was smooth and quick, as usual Thank you very much

[frankwoolsey]

You are the bomb. The only issue I ran across was trying to figure out the option button. I know it sounds simple but I had to wait for the chime before I held the option button. have a late 2013 27" and thought I was just looking to upgrade to Monterey. Oh silly me. I needed to upgrade to Sonoma for app design into the new IOS'. Sonoma 14.6.1 with eyes pretty much closed. No issues. Thanks for all your help.

[jacare]

If the separate videos work for you then keep doing it. I liked that the supported Sonoma one came out so quickly. Also love the chapters, even though I usually watch all the way through.

[mvrck-pbpk]

Always the unwritten truth from Mr. Macintosh. Thanks you sir and cheers.

[RheneFelipe]

mine is old MacBook 13in late 2009 8gig ram with SSD 500g dual core. Thanks it works in oclp 1.5.0 in os Monterey now it's updating to os Sonoma. Thanks to you and core legacy.

[tadeusz]

2010 27" IMAC 11.3. 1TB SSD + 16GB RAM now running 14.6.1.with KDK update. I now have some additional useful life. thanks so much.

[avss]

Mr Macintosh, thank you for all the work you do for us and for helping to keep good machines out of eWaste. Your work combined with the OCLP developers is just above and beyond. I wont’t even upgrade my supported iMac M3 without first checking your videos. I now have an iMac 27” late 2012 and a 2013 MBP running 14.6 plus a Bootcamp partition thanks to your channel. One question if I may….can you clarify that I can move forward with MacOS updates via the system settings in the way you would with a supported Mac provided of course I always have the latest OCLP onboard? It really is a very long process to do it the long way each time although a small price to pay if that is the safest route. Thanks again for all you do for us 😊
Cheers from Down Under

[MrJbipes]

Just updated my 'aging' 2010 Mac Pro 5, 1 to 14.6.1. Flawless as usual. Think I'll keep it

[lecramluoar]

Macbook pro mid 2012 13" 2.9GHz 16 GB ram has been updated successfully without any issues so far to 14.6.1 using Software Updated.

[irestinhim]

Early 2008 Mac Pro up and running with 14.6.1. Updates for 14.6 & 14.6.1 went smoothly and only required re-patching with OCLP.

[jasm]

Oh yeah 😎👍 Thanks for all your update videos 🖥️

2009 and 2011 imac 27" is working well with 14.6.1 with open core legacy patcher 1.5.0

[francisclaveau]

Works finely on my iMac late 2013 27 inch updated from 14.6 to 14.6.1 :)

[ennev]

I just updated from Sonoma 14.5 to Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Imac 11.3 (late 2010). Everything went well except the first login where entering the password was difficult due to the extremely slow system. Once I logged in and installed the Root Patches, everything went back to normal. Now the system is usable again with the updated OS.
