Ventura on the Mac Pro 4,1 and 5,1

Excellent, Jens!

Another question, Can I make the installer of Ventura on the current macOS high sierra?

I have apple ATI 5770 card but it doesn’t work on Mojave, I am curious how can you make it working?

Sir r9 270x show 7 mb till me how to solve

riddle me this I’m trying to upgrade my 2009(early)Mac Pro 4,1 to a 5,1. I did the EFI update and the firmware update when I restart it goes into a short flash mode and crashes then restarts back into El Capitan’s

im very glad i found out about this as i just bought a 2011 macbook pro and would like to keep it around as long as i can :)

Thanks! I saw you still have an old firmware so no nvme support? I just got a 2010 5,1 and have 5770 an 7950 but it won't install mojave. Haven't touched opencore yet but thinking about going this road to Ventura you showed. Are you going to make a video about the firware upgrade to 144? That would be great! Thank you!

thank you for this video. Did you use the standard wifi+bt Modul or did you upgrade a newer one?

Bought a 5,1 after brain surgery, but then realized the guy sold me a 4,1.

This messed up my wifi. cant do anything kept getting error mesh missing 23

i have a gt120 card hehe would it work with that to install monterey? good video by the way.

Hey man nice video. I've been trying to install Ventura following along to this for 7 days now and I always get stuck when installing Ventura. Instead of the orange screen appearing so the finishing touches (wi fi time zones etc) can be applied, it just goes back to reinstall Ventura. Any idea what could be causing this?

My Mac Pro 5,1 was originally a 4,1 but I flashed the firmware years ago to be a 5,1. I was also using an older version of Open core initially (before the legacy patcher came out). I was struggling to see the boot picker with my RX580 card so I put in the the old GT120 and it shows things fine.

Any advice would be appreciated as its driving me mad that at the last step, it won't load Ventura. Many thanks

friend, I have a gpu just like yours, but when I installed it, the video driver did not appear, your amd hd5770 has a different firmware, thank you very much for your attention

Can oclp only do a clean install? I want to avoid having to re install all my applcations and rebuild my current mojave system……

I am running Monterey which I installed last week but I’m thinking of putting Ventura in .

Very helpful, thanks! Could you someday create a tutorial for installing Windows on a separate/dedicated hard drive on an OpenCore Mac Pro?

But if you have USB 2.0 in Mac Pro 2012, is the USB going to have issues as well?

Sir when I boot it shows mouse and keyboard on boot how to fix it??

thanks

HI Jens , thanks for the perfect tutorial, have installed on my Mac Pro 4,1 flash 5,1 2x3,46 intelxeon 12core gpu Nvidia GeForce GTX770 4GB 64GB RAM 1333MHZ, VENTURA
13.3.1 - used open core 6.5 - all moved smooth and easy - ventura was installed on additional pic card nvme ssd 970evoplus - regdds and thanks again - Mario dp

Nice video but let me say that the graphic glitches can be fixed by enabling the option "Enable beta blur" in OCPL settings and after install opencore again, I had the same problem on my mid 2010 iMac with a similar GPU

Based on the description, I prepared the installation USB. After selecting EFI, the Mac Pro asks for a keyboard and mouse. There is a 2.0 USB HUB, but the keyboard and mouse do not work. I can't even start the installation. Do you have any idea what I should do?

Do I need to have a native graphics card to go to the loader? I will be very grateful if you answer

For everything to go smoothly, is it necessary to have a native graphics card?

Hi Jens. I have a 4,1 flashed to 5,1 running High Sierra on a HD5770 graphics card. I have followed all the OCLP instructions to upgrade to Big Sur and yet I can't get a boot screen to select EFI boot. Have you experienced this or suspect what may be going wrong? Thanks

This Mac can run Mojave natively is you use the right videocard!! I run the latest Open Core Monterey on my MacPro 5.1and it works excellent!😊 It is a shame that some old software I used under Mojave, doesn't.😢

Dear sir，I have a late 2008 macbook. After installation of Ventura, the trackpad doesn't work, there's no driver for the trackpad. Neither does the airdrop function.

I have applied post patches so many times, but the problems still exist.

Do you have the same experience as I do? How to solve the problem? Would you pls be kind enough to give me a reply?

Don't forget with the new edition to the operating system of runningboardd in Monterey and Ventura to control iOS app's it will prevent the Computer from sleeping all the way and it can not be turned off or none of the apps will work( but the sleep works) and you will have to reinstall the operating system,

I have a 2009 Mac Pro with Mojave. It presents the following problem. While I want to download, for example, an update of some program, for example Firefox, some file or something else, the process stops. What could be wrong? my connection is optical and the relevant check has been done by OTE and everything was fine since the pages on the internet open very quickly. Do I need to change anything in the hardware? Do you suggest I get a new network card? I've tried everything but I don't know what else I need to do. Thanks

Thanks for the video, its great to see whats happening at the bleeding edge of Hackintosh

Your Ventura install went very smoothly. Slightly off topic, but I’ve recently installed OS Monterey 12.6.3 oil a 5,1 Mac Pro using Opencore Legacy Patcher 0.6.1 and everything boots fine without the USB installer connected.
Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I tried to play some music via Airplay and realised that none of my Airplay devices (Airport Express or Bluesound Node) were showing in my sound options. All I can see is “Digital Out”, “Line Out” or “Internal Speakers”. And ... Apple Music says “The Airplay device cannot be found on your network. Please verify your network settings and Airplay configuration …”.
If I boot from my Mojave back-up drive all the Airplay options re-appear but when I boot into Monterey they are no longer available. So .. the Airport Expresses are working.
Do you have any suggestions??

I have a macoro3,1. Followed the exact same steps, I don’t get a UEFI BOOT option.

I have an original Wifi and Bluetooth card in the Mac Pro 4.1. Unfortunately, since the update, Bluetooth is not working. Roth Patch is installed. I've tried several times, but Buetooth doesn't work under Ventura.

I just acquired a mac pro 4,1 and for years i wanted one. I am currently undergoing the upgrade process of this system. I have already flash it to a 5,1. I will be upgrading the CPU among many other things very soon on this system. And i am even considering replacing my current daily driver, that is a much new Ryzen build with DDR4. I have started to come to terms with the fact i no longer game like i used too.

I have a problem with my installation on 5.1 mac pro, when it does the reboot after copying everything to the ssd it hangs indicating that there is a problem that says "a problem occurred preparing the software update" any advice? I have the hd5770btw, this video is awesome

i think this video you did had a great explanation, thanks man i'm considering bought used mac pro in the future

What gpu would you need for Ventura?

After kicking around my custom debloated Windows 11 it's difficult to be enthused with using my Mac Pro running the Ventura OS. Much love to the Github devotees for their unwavering effort. But in reality if you do not have a newer device running M1 or M2 architecture this will likely be the last OS upgrade for your device, the sooner you accept this the better. Apple annual OSes mandate you buy a newer device just to be replaced by the next device because of the newer OS in a few years. Microsoft on the other hand doesn't really care about what you use and will offer OS support for a ridiculous amount of years to come. Js.

I like your videos, just installed Ventura on my macmini 2012 following your instructions and it worked without any issues. I have a question - what if I have unflashed RX580 with no boot screen? When I reboot machine, how do I select OC EFI as boot option? I am sure many of us are having the same problem. Thanks!!

I finaly figure out how to use opencore on a chinese Xeon board 😳

Specs
Intel xeon 2670 V3 12cores, 24threads
GTX 1650
64 gb ddr4

After 2 months fixing issue’s i got it 🥺

I have a 5.1 Mac Pro with a Radeon RX580, which is good, but it also means I won't be able to see the boot options by holding down the option key. It looks like this is necessary to complete the install, do you have any suggestions on how to handle this?

hi, thank you for all your work of research and documentation. i may still have a problem and i think it's due to a EFi upgrade in a previously tentative of upgrade OS, following your steps in a previous video BIGSUR on mac PRO 4,1,
Now my mac is on 5,1 do i have to use opencore built for 4,1 or 5,1 ?

I just used OCLP to put Ventura onto a MacBook Pro i7 2011, it was not very responsive, slow boot even with SSD that delivers close to 650MB/s write. I’d be interested to hear others experience but I’m unlikely to upgrade past Monty on the 5.1. In video above safari does not open fast, mine does not bounce more than once.

Could you try to see if the current latest Xcode would run on this? Does sound work? Thanks.

Hey jensd_be, it's been a whole while!

I was wondering, are you able to do a hacintosh tutorial? 😅
I'm trying to install macOS Monterey on Windows 11 dual boot, but I can't figure the available videos out, since they are mostly complicated and some of the links are invalid or paid.
I'd appreciate it!

I have tried to install Ventura on my 2010 5,1 from Monterey, using OCLP 0.6.1. Just hangs on the boot loader screen after installation.I assume it’s my Radeon RX5700 xt. As I do not want to downgrade my GPU to get Ventura. I’ll wait until either the new macs are cheaper or there is a breakthrough with OCLP before I upgrade to Ventura again. Right now, I’m sticking with Monterey as it’s rocksolid.

firstly thank you very much for useful video,I have aMacPro 5.1 and osx Monterey running now and I'm using RX580 graphic card. I have a little English and I want to ask you; can I upgrade to Ventura using this RX580 graphic card and can I use this card when I upgrade to ventura? thanks for your help.

Can you help me figure out why my Wi-Fi or Bluetooth isn’t working? I have a Mac Pro 4,1. I’ve run the post install. Installed open core again to the main drive. Nothing seems to work.

July 2023 I will try this.

Does anyone know if you can still boot into 10.7? On the Mac Pro 4,1/5,1? I use 10.7 and don’t want to loose that ability but would also like to have the use of Ventura.
