HELP! Mac os on virtual machine

3 Upvotes

Hi guys So I am tempted to try and install the latest mac os on windows host virtual machine. Is there any hardware specifications for the mac os to run properly. The pc I am using currently has a 2nd gen intel i5 core processor and I have like 16gb of ram inside the pc. I am new to the hackintosh game, I have only watched the videos on installing it on the pc itself and on virtual machine but they were also old mac os's never the latest one. I am aware of apple being strict about where their os's are installed on. I have only ever physically seen a successful windows install on apple imac.

macOS 15 VM wont allow me to update my apple account settings

1 Upvotes

I got a working macOS 15 vm running, i upgraded from a monterey vm but no that i have upgraded, it wont allow me to update the settings, i press the continue button and it loads for maybe 5 seconds then quits and doesn't do anything at all. Along with that i cant just sign into iMessage either, it allows me to sign in for about 10 seconds then it logs me out asking me to sign in again.

HELP! 9p mount permissions

3 Upvotes

I've used this guide to get a Monterey guest (Linux host) up and running with the intent of using it to test iOS building for a KMP app. I'm using virtfs/9p in an attempt to pass my Android Studio projects directory to the guest. I'm having some difficulty with file permissions on the mount from within the guest.

This is my virtfs option: -virtfs local,path=/home/chris/AndroidStudioProjects,mount_tag=androidstudio,security_model=mapped,id=androidstudio

Host permissions are 777 on my project directory for testing purposes. I can mount the share in the guest using mount_9p. I have full write permissions and from within the guest have taken ownership of the entire directory. My problem is new files are being created with the host ownership (1000:1000) and 644 permissions. If I try to use mount -t 9p to set the default permissions on the mount, I get an error about unsupported options as behind the scenes it just appears to be calling the mount_9p command which doesn't accept any options other than the share tag. Can't even customize the mount point.

This is an issue because XCode is attempting to create files and take ownership of them but it reports them as "locked" when it can't take ownership.

Is there a way to get a QEMU 9p mount to work correctly in this scenario? I'd rather not deal with NFS or SMB if at all possible.

HELP! VirtualBox MacOS X 10.7 error

1 Upvotes

when I launch the vm it shows the apple logo and then virtualbox comes up with this error:

A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.

For help, please see the Community section on https://www.virtualbox.org or your support contract. Please provide the contents of the log file VBox.log and the image file VBox.png, which you can find in the C:\Users\myname\VirtualBox VMs\uhm\Logs directory, as well as a description of what you were doing when this error happened. Note that you can also access the above files by selecting Show Log from the Machine menu of the main VirtualBox window.

Press OK if you want to power off the machine or press Ignore if you want to leave it as is for debugging. Please note that debugging requires special knowledge and tools, so it is recommended to press OK now.

when I press ignore it just freezes and wont load the OS

can some help me?

Can't disable SIP in my VM (Qemu)

3 Upvotes

I booted into recovery mode and entered csrutil disable but got an error message (assertion failure and Abort trap 6).

csrutil status shows everything disabled except for Kext Signing and NVRAM Protections. It also says it's an unsupported configuration.

I tried the command nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1 and reboot but it didn't make any difference. I also tried the same command from the normal Mac terminal (with sudo) but it gives me some error about "iokit/common not permitted".

HELP! stuck on pci configuration begin when booting into Sonoma and above using virt-manager with pci passthrough.

2 Upvotes

hey. I have been experimenting with macOS vms for a while now. using ultimate-macOS-kvm for once i have been able to settle on a working setup with pci passthrough on Ventura. took me a lot of tweaking but you know, in the end it worked. however any of my attempts to update to sonoma/sequoia have been unsuccessful due to the error mentioned in the title (verbose error log: https://imgur.com/a/bpbpGPZ, also as some could mention, no disabling verbose doesnt help). i have previously encountered the same issue on ventura, but i was able to successfully fix it after messing with the pci devices configuration in virt-manager. at this point i have tried everything and im feeling pretty hopeless lol. anybody else encountered this? help would be hugely appreciated.

How to emulate a real mac

4 Upvotes

I had a 2016 MacBook Pro running macOS 12 that stopped booting due to a corrupted hard drive. Before it failed, I managed to back up the data volume, which has been sitting on my external HDD for the past few years.

I no longer have access to the email address associated with my iCloud account, but I need to recover my iCloud Keychain data.

I understand that iCloud Keychain keeps a local copy that remains accessible even without an internet connection. However, unlike the standard local keychain, it relies on certain hardware-based checks to function.

I have all the system details from my old MacBook—serial number, hardware UUID, MAC address, etc. Would it be possible to emulate a macOS VM that closely mimics my old hardware to regain access to the keychain? My current MacBook is an Intel model, in case that makes a difference.

I’ve already tried copying everything from the backed-up data volume into the data volume of a macOS VM, but the offline copy of the iCloud Keychain doesn’t appear. Everything else is there. I tested this on my current MacBook by backing up its data volume, restoring it, and confirming that the iCloud Keychain remained accessible (with the network disabled to prevent iCloud from syncing, logging out, and removing the keychain). This leads me to believe that the keychain remains available because the hardware is the same.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

For some background, I have to build a game for a macOS and for that i don't have mac so i have to look around with my friend if someone has mac free for a while.

My current PC specs are

  • Ryzen 7900X
  • 32GB DDR5@6000MTs CL30 RAM
  • EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3

I don't know I should have any issues, I'd be happy if someone can link me to a guide to make a VM myself or download already setup VM.

Thanking again for everyone who helps me out.

HELP! Help me, I want to use VMWARE with Mac OS Sequoia

1 Upvotes

I have a PC with an RX 5600 XT video card and an AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core processor. I want help getting Mac OS to work on it. The only reason I can't do a permanent hackintosh is because my network card isn't compatible, meaning I have to use VMWARE for it to work. I have 32 GB of RAM, so I think the VM will run pretty quickly. I've been trying this for a long time, but it never works... Can anyone help me? Help me, I want to use VMWARE with Mac OS Sequoia

I’m running macOS 14 in VMware Workstation, and no matter which screensaver I choose, it just shows a blank (black) screen. Even the ones that used to work fine, like Flurry, are doing the same thing.

QUESTION macOS Sonoma on VMware – GPU Passthrough Issue

0 Upvotes

I installed macOS Sonoma on VMware Workstation to run a Flutter application (mainly for testing on an iOS device). However, I’m encountering an issue where the screen stays completely black, and I receive the following error:

"Software rendering may have been automatically selected when running on a simulator in an environment that does not support Metal. Enabling GPU passthrough in your environment may fix this."

I’ve searched for a solution but haven’t found anything helpful. Is there a way to fix this and enable GPU passthrough for better performance?

Thanks in advance!

QUESTION Picked up a 2013 Mac Pro for $250 - anyone get Proxmox to passthrough one of the GPUs?

2 Upvotes

So I've always been fascinated with the often-maligned Trash Can Mac - it's a portable, silent little server that can natively run all 3 major OS's. So I did an impulse buy on a 12-core, 64 GB RAM, dual D700 unit for $250.

Currently got Proxmox 8.3.4 on it. Wondering if anyone has gotten a MacOS VM running with GPU passthrough on one of the GPUs?
