OCLP macOS Sequoia Beta Status Update & WARNING!!!

Everyone has been asking if the new macOS Sequoia Beta is compatible with older Macs using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I'll give you a quick status update on the current situation. Let me know if you have any questions!

I want to thank both Mykola Grymalyuk (khronokernel) & Dhinak G (dhinakg) for your work on OpenCore Legacy Patcher + all of the contributing developers that help maintain the patcher. OCLP brings new life to thousands of Macs and saves them from the recycler!

DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Big Sur on your unsupported Mac is a best effort by the community. A ton of work went into getting the patcher to work! Some things might not work exactly right but it's really really close. I would not recommend installing on a system that you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! The good news is that you are getting the latest security fixes from Apple. Some might argue that upgrading to Patched Monterey makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.13 and below.

This very sensible down to earth cautionary update from Mr. McIntosh is exactly why he is one of the best on YouTube. I say one of the best because I have to give a shout out to Jessie‘s Flying for being another fantastic presenter of helping us with our old max and OCLP. Both of these guys deserve so much credit and appreciation for the work they’re doing helping all of us other goofballs.😄😄

Glad you chimed in. I was going to play tonight. I appreciate your guidance.

All I can say is my many thanks to the open core team. My 2014 Mac Mini went from Monterey, with its many annoying bugs to Somano thanks again team amazing.

I'm definitely not one to jump on each new release. With my Mac 5, 1 I held the line at Snow Leopard for ages. I eventually moved to Mavericks, skipping the intervening releases. That was followed by High Sierra, and then finally Mojave -- the last release with 32-bit application support, and the last supported OS. Over the past year I dabbled with OCLP and later macOS releases, but always on a separate "playground" drive. Last week I wiped that drive and installed Monterey via OCLP 1.5.0. I then added a Mojave VM under Parallels for my handful of 32-bit apps, and am endeavoring to do all my work with that configuration. So far, no real issues.

I took the same risk by installing macOS 15 beta on my MacBook Pro 2015 just to see the difference. Just the root patches were not able to update. It was great to see OpenCore do its work though. Played around for a while and then reloaded macOS 14.5. I will now wait for the official release. It was good fun though.

Thank you for your help and your videos

I keep getting a "Installation failed, an error occurred while installing the selected updates". I have a MacBook pro M2 and I looked it up google says my MacBook is compatible.

I am happy that they are working on window snapping.

I have the 2012 macbook pro running the Sonoma with the patcher but its telling me to update to sequoia what do i do or how to do it, and my macbook pro is running a little slow.

[spacefortechmex]

Hey man, I have an important question!! Do you have a video where you explain hot to fix the “the conexion network could not be found error” for MacOS Catalina?? I only have found the one for macOS High Sierra video here in your channel. I would really appreciate your answer. Thank you so much. Great videos!

[totallyworksperfectly]

Thanks for this video, I was wondering about that!! I have the current latest on my 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.8Hz i7 16GB ram 1TB 2014

[megatronskneecap]

It is a beta one for macOS and I had a horrible experience with trying to beta load Sonoma onto my Intel Mac. It was slow and barely worked.

[herewegoagain]

someone on reddit just tried to install it and is stuck on loading screen lmao

[AlienFactor]

I am running a 2014 MacBook Pro 💻 OWC Aura Pro X2 512GB SSD/16 GB of ram using open core patcher using Sonoma 14.5 and I have a Software Update which is Sequoia 14.65 soooo after watching your video I won’t be downloading yet lol Thanks for your videos and knowledge! 🙏🏻ℹ️💻🧠

[blaah]

Did you remove 2GB of RAM or is it just a Sequoia Beta issue with unsupported Mac?

[DEMONTIMING]

I have a question how do you install macOS Sequoia on a unsupported MacBook Pro 2012 made 13 inch on opencore Legacy patcher

[Jant-uk]

I have a mackintosh and I tried dual booting Sonoma and sequoia and it doesn't work

[Phredreeke]

I think that if your Mac is old enough to need OCLP to run the current MacOS, then it's a really bad idea to run a beta version of the next version on it, unless you're willing to wipe the system clean if it breaks
