Read carefully, because i'm not answering questions i've already went over in the following... I used TransMac to make a bootable MAC OS X install USB and somehow it's not working. I've used DMGs and ISOs and nothing works. I've also burned them to DVD and it didn't work. I even tried a usb 2.0 flash drive and that didn't work either. El Capitan installer fails even though i disconnected wifi and set the date using terminal to January 1st 2017 at 12:15. Might have to settle with 10.8 but i want to use El Capitan (latest supported for this model) going to have to buy a bootable flash drive with an El Capitan install, they're as low as $16 + $4 shipping on ebay. Can't find a DVD for anything over v10.5 so that sucks. Niresh Mac OS X 10.8.2 worked (that's where i was on that yt video) but it won't shut down when i hit shut down, it just restarts with an error message and asks if i want to report it. I'll try a newer Niresh version. 8:30 am today, install success! Here's the video that helped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpTgVJoqH-M List of programs -Fans run at full blast all the time (even thought the smc and pram was reset the fan control app said the controler wasn't detected or something) -Claims supported Mac OS operating systems are "unsupported" (boot logo with a ✖️) when booting from USB -Weird power on effort (mentioned in the video) not sure if it's because the knock off magsafe ac adapter, i haven't heard many complaints about them Sub to my other channels -Remasters https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsGIGPJv9Wmph3bWSx0vJw -Cassette rips https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQhFFd6f2XYkZ7UzM3PlNAQ -Out of print country, pop country music: https://www.youtube.com/@outofprintcountrypopcountr8976 Digital tip jar https://paypal.me/CMcMahon151 My created playlists ☟ Where did my cassette rips go?
