Install Mavericks On Unsupported Mac

Posted on |

I did some more digging searching for a real workaround of some kind, not just theory. I found the following: OS X Daily - Got an Older Mac? MLPostFactor Installs OS X 10.8.3 on Old Unsupported Macs. OS X Daily's article links to a series of forum posts at MacRumors - Guide Success! Install 10.8 on old unsupported Mac. It is a very long thread.

This update includes:

Install Os X Mavericks On Unsupported Mac

My suspicion is that the new installer will use it’s own boot.efi / PlatformSupport.plist file(s) preventing you to upgrade using the App Store. My reasoning is that I tried to download the Mavericks Install file from the App Store on the Mac Pro and the App Store prevented the download from happening since the Mac Pro is unsupported. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 that I upgraded to a 2x quad core Intel 5355 chipset. Oem’s script worked like a charm, but - though it doesn’t make to much sense to me, the Mavericks install wouldn’t booth with the stock Nvidia 256mb video card with Netkas’ firmware upgrade to a MacPro 2,1. So it booted into Mavericks fine with the MacPro 1,1 firmware and the stock.

  • Fixes adfly URL issues- Improves some error messages (makes them more explicit)
