How To Install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on a PC: Part 2 (How to Build a Hackintosh)

[kjama93]

Ok my bios options are blocked how Iam suppost to open it ot get in there I have compaq Cq35 can I hackintosh it

[iHackUrMac]

@kjama93 did you watch part 1?

[MegaSpyroFan]

Is this to dual boot or just to load mac. If you know how to dual boot can you give me the link.

[iHackUrMac]

@MegaSpyroFan In this video, I install on a blank hard drive, dual booting is better on separate hard drives, which is what i do.

[drumsTJ]

@MegaSpyroFan u just partion your hard drive or make it smaller

[xXmintedmaddogXx]

@iHackUrMac i have it working with the correct vram 512 and it is nvidia 9800 gt

[xXmintedmaddogXx]

@iHackUrMac can u upload ur one and send me the link plz

[iHackUrMac]

@xXmintedmaddogXx Link is in the description...

[xXmintedmaddogXx]

Hi what version do u have of multibeast

[xXmintedmaddogXx]

Hi what version of multibeast did u use

[iHackUrMac]

@xXmintedmaddogXx Doesn't matter, use the newest one.

[xXmintedmaddogXx]

@iHackUrMac i tryed that and it does not have the nivida drivers for the graphics card

[iHackUrMac]

@xXmintedmaddogXx You don't always need drivers for GPU's, I don't. What's your gpu?

[yoavzx11]

and can i use VPN ?

[iHackUrMac]

@yoavzx11 Don't know what that is.

[yoavzx11]

can I download all multi-beast downloads because i'm not realy know how to use it.........



[iHackUrMac]

@yoavzx11 NO! Do you have compatible hardware?

[mreetswaa]

???

[mreetswaa]

My computer reboots just as the apple logo comes up what do I do ?

[iHackUrMac]

@mreetswaa You have compatible hardware?

[misterblackopsful]

insint a another way

[misterblackopsful]

well i am geting a new computer with a amd pros and more i just need a cheep os

[iHackUrMac]

@misterblackopsful AMD doesn't work.

[MinecraftGamerzss]

@iHackUrMac But is it really really really possible to install Mac OS X Using a different method besides iBoot + Multi-Beast¿

[iHackUrMac]

@MinecraftGamerzss This method is the best, laptops are a PITA.

[MinecraftGamerzss]

@iHackUrMac Whats a "PITA"?

[iHackUrMac]

@MinecraftGamerzss Pain in the *ss

[TheDnAVlogs]

i downloaded drivers and stuff in multibeast and then i restarted it. it loaded up fine until its up to the part with the apple logo and then it just stays on that screen with the loading sign spinning. what could be the problem?

[iHackUrMac]

@TheDnAVlogs What are your specs?

[misterblackopsful]

It is cool but I don't want to mess up my computer

[iHackUrMac]

@misterblackopsful You won't mess it up as long as you have compatible hardware.

[MinecraftGamerzss]

What can I do if I get "[ PCI Configuration Begin ]" Thing? it shows up when I use iBoot and type -v And when I just click enter on the retail DVD The apple logo shows up but... The spiny wheel does not show up? Any fixes? DSDT? Video Card? I Has NVIDIA® GeForce® 310M / GT 425M (Laptop) IS it compatible? NoteBook Settings? Any ideas what might help?

[iHackUrMac]

@MinecraftGamerzss its because your on a laptop.

[floopy312]

Should I get any issue if I try to install Mac OS X on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR385D?

It seems that it has an Intel Chipset because lots of basic drivers start with "Intel Corporation"

Is there any known issue with this kind of laptop.

[iHackUrMac]

@floopy312 Don't install on laptops.

[floopy312]

@iHackUrMac Could you tell me why you say that plz? I'd like to install it in both my laptop and my desktop, but my desktop doesn't have an intel chipset :(

[iHackUrMac]

@floopy312 Trust me, i'll be making a video in the future saying why.

[myerslamski]

My specs are Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) Processor Main Circuit Board b 3.00 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 945 512 kilobyte primary memory cache 2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache 6144 kilobyte tertiary memory cache 64-bit ready Multi-core (4 total) Not hyper-threaded AMD Radeon HD 6450 video card 1TB HD I have 14 Gigs of ddr3 ram

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Amd processors are not compatible, so you won't be able to install mac os x on it.

[myerslamski]

How can I find out if I have compatible hardware?

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski What are your computer specs?

[myerslamski]

Thank you so much for the help! Really! Thanks.

[myerslamski]

Will I use the iboot disc each time I want to run mac?

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Nope, just install a bootloader. Do you have compatible hardware?

[myerslamski]

@iHackUrMac I do not know if I have compatible hardware? How would I find this out?

[myerslamski]

I can buy the snow leopard disk at apple store for how much? Or can I just download it from net? How do I get the snow leopard disc?

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Well I bought mine from the store, you can buy it from amazon as well. But since OS lion came out, i dont know if they still sell it in the store.

[myerslamski]

Dude u are the awesomest. Thanks so much. If I do install externally do I still have to change my bios and do I have to change the bios each time I switch back and forth from windows to pc? Thanks.

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Yep the bios settings are extremely important, but you won't have to change them each time you want to switch from windows and mac.

[myerslamski]

sorry for all of my questions. You responded that I will need compatible Hardware what do u mean by compatible hardware? Thanks...

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Booting externally should work. By compatible hardware I mean you need to have a compatible Motherboard, Processor and Graphics Card. Installing Mac on pc's is best when you have a custom build computer, but some OEM's work as well.

[myerslamski]

Dude U are awesome! Thanks so much. Can I use an external HD For the mac install and use my comp hd for windows?

[myerslamski]

If I install the snow leopard os the exact way you have shown in these vids will I lose my windows stuff? Can I switch back and forth from mac and windows? Thanks...

[iHackUrMac]

@myerslamski Well for one, you need compatible hardware to do this, partitioning your hard drive will erase anything on it, if you have 2 hard drives then you can install mac on one and windows can stay on the other and you will be able to switch.

[Wonderwaffle1569]

Of*

[Wonderwaffle1569]

Please answer my question can I install more the 4gb if ram and it will work

[iHackUrMac]

@Wonderwaffle1569 What?

[CreativeFXX]

i making sure because im afraid that my computer is broke.

[CreativeFXX]

When install window 7 over will the internet and sound come back on.

[iHackUrMac]

@CreativeFXX you would have to install the proper drivers for your computer if windows 7 doesn't but yes they will.

[CreativeFXX]

I allready install mac, but there noway i could unstall mac off of my computer.

[iHackUrMac]

@CreativeFXX you can install windows 7 over it.

[CreativeFXX]

I really catious about this, ook so you saying installing the multibeast files, it would make your internet and sound work. Or if i just download the driver that support my computer.

[iHackUrMac]

@CreativeFXX well intel celeron isn't supported, installing multibeast only works if you have compatible hardware, building a hackintosh is recommended for custom built computers, windows drives don't work in mac os x.

[CreativeFXX]

window 7 ultimate 32 bit

intel celeron cpu

[Iphone1176]

audio is working great!!!!

[Iphone1176]

I have one more question! would it work if i just install the net work drivers from multibeast and forget the rest and just boot from the iboot cd?

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 try running easybeast and voodohda for audio everything else leave. I don't think that's going to give you network though.

[iHackUrMac]

@iHackUrMac oh and macbook book pro 8 for the smbios

[Iphone1176]

The internet is not working can any one help?

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 what motherboard do you have?

[Iphone1176]

@iHackUrMac im not sure how can i find out?

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 what computer do you have?

[Iphone1176]

@iHackUrMac toshiba satellite. Its working great just no internet.

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 does wired work or is it just wireless.

[Iphone1176]

@iHackUrMac i cant get any thing wired or wireless. I have been trying to find some kind of driver or something im not sure what to do.

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 the best advice i could give you is to ask a question on the forum as it's a laptop, and laptops are more complicated. If you get it working let me know as it may be another compatible laptop!!!!

[Iphone1176]

@iHackUrMac Well every thing works fine up till the part were you list all the stuff to install from multibeast it installs ok but when i reboot the apple sign comes up then a bunch of letters come up and it says to restart now but nothing happens when i do. I think maybe im not installing the right stuff for mine!

[iHackUrMac]

@Iphone1176 Yea, your settings are going to be different than mine.

[CreativeFXX]

If my graphic card on my pc does not say none of those choose on the multibeast list then what do i do

[iHackUrMac]

@CreativeFXX what's your gpu?

[shellion23]

i have ATI DRIVER



[skater6293]

Can you use this for snow leopard

[iHackUrMac]

@skater6293 this is snow leopard...

[nikee456123]

@iHackUrMac if you bought Mac os x lion of the app store when upgraded to 10.6.8 would it install and then run or would you need to fresh install it with a retail bootable disk

[iHackUrMac]

@nikee456123 i have a video covering lion installation.

[eraythecomputerguy]

can i do 10.6.8?

[hdo172]

Srry i juz need to ask you a question..When installing the drivers from multibeast, do i have to install the same divers as you did in the video? Plz reply.

[iHackUrMac]

@hdo172 NO...you need to install the ones compatible for your hardware.

[karimkarim187]

I like this video



[TheDJReviewz]

Wow. Not going to do it but looks pretty awesome.

[clcarter39]

hey i followed the steps but after the combo update a grey popup came up and said that I must restart. i couldn't use my keyboard or mouse so i manually turned off and restarted. i booted to the hard drive from iboot and it took me to the desktop. everything seems to work. im just confused as what I should do since I never ran update helper (sandy bridge cpu) or multibeast before i had to restart. what do you think? ps. already posted on tonymac forums, no replys yet, thought i would ask u also

[iHackUrMac]

@clcarter39 do you have compatible hardware?

[MasterX14y]

[iHackUrMac]

[Cambuddy10]

One more question I can't get my wireless card to work any ideas?

[Cambuddy10]

Do I have to eject iBoot before restarting?

[iHackUrMac]

@Cambuddy10 yea

[gbeugenio]

What happen's if i select all options in MultiBeast?

[iHackUrMac]

@gbeugenio it wont be pretty

[TravisBaker007]

I installed everything like you said and now i have an problem booting up SL. I tried it with the shortkey "-v" and i saw that it stops loading at: PushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed

[iHackUrMac]

@TravisBaker007 do you have compatible hardware?

[RAINxFeVeR]

Can you make a video on how to update to OSX Lion?

[iHackUrMac]

@RAINxFeVeR i already have one

[rosarinoennaples]

i install snow leopard following the tutorial...have some problem w/ beast 3.8 and 3.9...so 3.6 works ...the issue is the boot...does not start w/o the i boot ...everything else work like a charm...issues w/ audio but im using blue tooth as output

my specs i3 3100 gigabyte GA-H67M-D2 B3 PNY 8400 GS 500GB HDD

[iHackUrMac]

@rosarinoennaples hmm how did u install lion?

[tcartproductions]

could i install this on an external hdd instead of the hdd on my pc because i still want to use windows as well as mac osx

[iHackUrMac]

@tcartproductions no, you cant do that

[Popeyee24]

hey, sorry if somebody else asked you this before, but if i want to install osx lion on a pc running windows 7, should i follow the same steps?

[iHackUrMac]

@Popeyee24 no, there are different steps,

[hanoschi]

Can I run Windows on another partition?

[iHackUrMac]

@hanoschi yea, but its a bit different install process

[defi46]

can i use the new version Mac OS X 10.7.2 combo update instead of Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update?

[iHackUrMac]

@defi46 nope, u need to be running lion for that

[ViggyTheBear]

Sorry about that.

Specs:

Dell Inc. 021CN3 A13 Motherboard

2.27 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 350 (btw, this is not the new 2nd generation, it was the previous one)

500 GB HDD

Intel(R) HD Graphics [Display adapter]

[iHackUrMac]

@ViggyTheBear hmmm, well in your case you'll probably have to go to SL first, and im not so sure about your graphics card, so you may want to invest in a new one

[ViggyTheBear]

@iHackUrMac Yeah, I think is should get ATI or nVidia. Anyway, thanks for your help!

[RockOff1999]

Thanks

[RockOff1999]

Can u select which operating system u want to run when u boot

[iHackUrMac]

@RockOff1999 yep, at the cimera or chameleon screen (thats how i boot into windows

[ViggyTheBear]

Am I able to do this same steps to install Mac OS X Lion instead of Snow Leopard?

[iHackUrMac]

@ViggyTheBear no

[ViggyTheBear]

@iHackUrMac So you have to have Snow Leopard in order to get Lion?

[iHackUrMac]

@ViggyTheBear not necessarily, what are your specs?

[ViggyTheBear]

@iHackUrMac Same one as yours. Except it is Intel Core i3 not i5.

[henk376]

my hackintosh won't read my usb.. and won't connect to internet

[iHackUrMac]

@henk376 What are your specs?

[henk376]

@henk376 hmmm, wat did u install for your multi beast settings?

[henk376]

@iHackUrMac i don't remember.... can u please tell what version of multibeast to use and what to install...

[iHackUrMac]

@henk376 well you can use whichever multibeast, as for your settings, you should ask on tonymac or search and see if anyone has your hardware.

[henk376]

@iHackUrMac hey buddy where are you from?...

[henk376]

my hackintosh won't read my usb.. and won't connect to internet

[johnson1095]

so what brand computer is this?

[iHackUrMac]

@johnson1095 its a custom built

[aderbs7]

yes



[iHackUrMac]

@aderbs7 well its prob not going to work

[aderbs7]

Wat other things shud I do? By the way thanks for the help so far

[iHackUrMac]

@aderbs7 follow this guide tonymacx86.blogspot[dot]com/20­09/11/dual-boot-windows-7-and-­os-x-snow[dot]html Are u on a laptop?

[aderbs7]

I understand that I shouldn't do it but could it work if I split my hard drive into two partitions one for Mac .. Then if it failed I would still have my windows hard drive

[iHackUrMac]

@aderbs7 you can do that but ir takes longer and there's specific things you have to do

[aderbs7]

Would a Dell inspiron 15r intel i3 work?

[iHackUrMac]

@aderbs7 watch my what you'll need video.

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

No I mean a link to a turorial of how to go directly to Lion ;)

[German4Games]

@iHavkUrMac

Would you be so kind and tell me ahout this or give me a link ;) (directly to Lion)

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games i dont any, and i would buy it just to be safe

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

I know so if 10.6 will work I will update immediately to Lion which supports the 500 Nvidia Series ;)

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

AsRock Z68 Pro3

Intel Core i5-2400

GtX 560 Ti

WD 500GB Internal

Toshiba 1TB external

I asked but nobody seems to know exactly so I think I have to try ;D

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games your gpu isnt supported

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games well good luck, let me know how it goes!!! there are ways of updating to lion without having to install SL

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

Coz I have a 1TB external HDD and (normally) dont want to buy a new internal drive ;)

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games i think your best bet would be to go and ask a question on tonymacx86...what are your specs?

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

And will Chimera/Chameleon recognize the ext HDD with Mac on it? or does it only recognize internal sata connected drives?

Thx

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games u idk dont think you can, why dont you just install another internal hd?

[German4Games]

@iHackUrMac

I mean can you do the hole process with an external hard drive? Coz I want to leave my internal Windows Drive like it is

[German4Games]

Does this work on an external HDD?

Thx

[iHackUrMac]

@German4Games what do you mean?

[breakdancer3404]

Would this work with a Dell OptiPlex GX280?

[iHackUrMac]

@breakdancer3404 nope, doesn't have compatible hardware
