The Hackintosh Guide, Part 15. Updating OSX .

Part 15 of my Hackintosh guide.

In this part I'll show you how you update your Hackintosh.
We'll update OSX by running Software Update.
Note. This is a unmodified installation, also called Vanilla install.
It means that I've installed OSX from a retail DVD, not a hacked distro.
If you didn't install OSX from a retail DVD, updating OSX may cause it to crash.

Needed files:

Kext Utility 2.4.2:
http://tinyurl.com/yh69sw9

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Kexts.
(Contains Kexts for Audio and LAN)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ntmutd11e35

Step by step:
- Start Software Update.
- Select the Max OSX Update and run it.
- Reboot when it is done.
- Start Software Update again. Install any updates that are available.
- Reboot when it is done.
- Start Software Update again. Verify that there are no more updates.
- If there are any more updates, install them.
- If your audio isn't working after the updates, go to the next step.
- Install Kext for Audio. (AppleHDA.kext + HDAEnabler.kext).
- Reboot.

Now your Hackintosh is good to go.
Congrats!

@kagangulenc:

It is true that updates are easier when you use a custom DSDT-file.

Because no kexts are needed if you do it right, therefore you'll not have the problem with sound like I did.

The disadvantage with DSDT is that if you do it wrong you might end up damaging/frying your hardware.

I haven't had the time to do all the research on DSDT to start using it my self, so I'm still going the "noob" way with kexts. ;)

Hello dude!

Remember I had problems installing on my mobo the hackintosh? That was a bad revision of it, so I made a bold move - bought MacBook pro (mid 2010 in july 2010).

Kinda sick, huh? Cheers!

@EvidentIncredible:

Nah, it doesn't suck. :)

You got a nice computer now. Big touchpad, magsafe charger connector, 5-6 hours of batterylife, OSX etc.

If I didn't have a Thinkpad (given to me by my employer) I'd buy my self a 13" MBP.

Congrats! :)

Hey sn0le why dont you make a part 16 showing how to build our own airport card?

[sn0le]

@Pro9070:

Well, building a WiFi-card requires a bit more skill than I have. :)

Besides, I use Cat5-cable for my Hackintosh. Gigabit is nice when you copy alot of (huge) files between computers at home.

@Snole

Hey Snole, you haven't made any new videos at this most recent time and was wondering if you would be doing so in the near future?

Will you ever trying to upgrade to the OSX Lion?

Thanks enjoyed all your videos...!
