Thanks. Can'y use for my MacBook Peo i7 late 2011. So as soon as it is available for my Mac will install. That said I love that you produced a walk thorough video for the newer machines. Thank you Mr Macintosh.. You and the other developers are out super hero's.

Monterey works well ok on the10, 1 imac.

I tried Ventura but after running the post install patch it will gets stuck on boot. I will stick with Monterey as I only upgraded from Catalina to get MS office to work. Might try again later this year.

Thank you. Very informative video. According to your list, my iMac will support an upgrade (iMac High Sierra, Retina 5K, 27 inch, 2017) to Ventura. However, I cannot find the link you referenced which addressed compatible software. I'd like to check that first before upgrading. How does an upgrade affect cloud-based software or does it? Thank you for sharing your expertise.

This is truly amazing. I did a full clean install and everything worked perfectly except I get the dreaded Beach ball at the login screen and I can't login. Any ideas please?

Thank God I was able to install Ventura from Mojave & it is now running okay. I could not upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur so almost gave up.Now apart from some issues that came with the upgrade, some letters on my Bluetooth keyboard is not working! Not sure why! Can’t type in my password.

As always a great video, one question can you clean install Ventura on Mac mini M1 or MacBook Pro M1?

[rogerkirkpatrick]

Just updated to 13.0.1, I have a 2011 2GHZ Quad-Core Intel Core I7, iPad mini 5.3 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD OS drive, 4 TB Data drive. After install root patches were applied, rebooted mouse and keyboard quit after 60 seconds. Removed root patches. Every thing seems to run fine.

Wow. Great video. Thanks a bunch. I was able to install on my macbook pro 2012. (1) However, apps like Google Meet, zoom and Microsoft Team couldn't access my microphone and camera. I tried everything possible yet not working even in system preference ->privacy... the apps are not showing up there. (2) I could not install Ventura Security updates too. Got an error not supported. What could be the possible fix? Any help. Thanks a bunch, once more.

Hello Mr Mac. Hold off on the open core leg as iv updated to 0.5.3 my Mac comes up optimising system however after 30 mins nothing I am not able to log in due to the system hanging As I ran the patch system to check all was well it’s not well at all. I don’t recommend installing iv got 13.2 to install This hole thing is a mess I think I’ll go back to Big Ser I’m sick of reinstalling all the time

What do I need to do If I have done everything but when it comes time to select the startup disk, its faded and won't let me click it, and it says I need to select which start-up disk I want to use.

In 10:18 where you are putting the name and password in place of that it says switch user and cancel

I assume you can't use this method to upgrade a MacBook pro mid-2012 from Monterey?

Hi, I can't install ventura 13.1 on my macbook pro 2012 retina, why? I was able to install ventura version 13.0 before. what is not?

[janniian]

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) not able to upgrade to Ventura!

[Luna_moonchild]

Can someone please help me my MacBook is not working I'm trying to update it but it's not updating, I installed the update but it says " switch to and log out each other user before continuing "

Please tell me what to do because I have no idea what's going on with this and we do not have any Apple Store's nearby...

Please tell me what to do if anyone has any idea

I always wait 1 year before upgrade. If your work depends on stability. Safari is still OS dependent, that's insane!

[laurabraun]

Hello, would this work on an early 2015 macbook pro with the 12.3.1 monterey version and would this be needed for work done in safari or google chrome?

[celticdistortion]

hey MrMac, really appreciate these videos. I was always a windows guy up to 4 months ago when i switched to mac. It was a process relearning the OS system, and then of course i quickly learned the version of mac wasnt supported with the later versions of os. thanks to your easy to follow steps of how to bypass the system via open core patcher, I have been able to use my mac as a normal mac ever since. I now need to upgrade to Ventura. Will I still need to follow the Opencore patch route or can I just upgrade from system preferences? huge thanks

I have successfully updated my Late 2014 5K iMac to Ventura, my M1 Max 16' mbP is also on Ventura now. But I can't use the iMac as a display - just the mbP is enabled as a display for the iMac. I'd much rather it worked both ways or the other way around. Is this even possible? Currently my only option is to 'Link keyboard and mouse to iMac' - the iMac doesn't show on 'Mirror or extend to' option. I would love to share a window from the mbP over to the 5k iMac display!

Thank you
