Install Mavericks On Unsupported Mac

Can i install mavericks on my mac

Attempting to install Catalina on an unsupported Mac is in no way supported by Apple, and you are doing so at your own risk. MacRumors cannot be held liable for any data loss or damage as a result. Installation of Mavericks from the USB-drive is very standard. To start the computer from the USB-drive, hold down the “alt”-key (not Apple-key, not ctrl-key) while starting the computer. Choose SFOTT and proceed normally. After about an hour you should have a clean 10.9.0 Mavericks with network/wifi working. Install Mavericks 10.9 to the system: Note that there are no USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel of the ECS motherboard. As needed add a header cable to bring out a USB 2.0 port to accept the USB installer device. As needed add the target hard drive to the system (and remove any other).

  1. Then ML Post Factor came and enabled installation of Mac OS 10.8 on unsupported, legacy Intel Mac's. The same guys are currently making MacPostFactor for Mavericks, but until it's out, here's copy/paste of a guide from Macrumors, together with links bellow!

  3. Yosemite / Mavericks / Mountain Lion on Unsupported Mac This page is dedicated to Sfott, this “little” piece of code I did to automate the creation of USB key with the boot.efi from Tiamo’s of MacRumors.
  4. I installed Mavericks on my Macbook 4,1 manually, without fspott. I have working kext(s) for audio but had to use 'sudo nvram boot-args='kext-dev-mode=1' and had to use graphics kext(s) from 10.6.2 Leopard. I still don't have QE. If I catch some working GMA X3100 kext(s), I'll either go to Mavericks, or replace my logic board.

Hi every one. I've never joined a forum, I usually find what I need from browsing, but I'm stuck.
I have an old Mac Pro, 2,1 late 2007 model running 2x quadcore 3.0 ghz Xeon processors. I'm using snowleopard and it has been my workstation for a long time.
Recently I had an issue with Python and couldn't get Django installed correctly for a course I'm taking, My advisor told me to upgrade to mavericks. So, I found that my machine wasn't supported because of 32bit efi. Not sure what that means. It runs 64 bit programs like Maya and Nuke like a champ, so apparently 64 bit and 64bit efi are different things. Anyways, I did some research and found the sfott 32 to 64 tool and used it to install mavericks on my machine. I found it at oemden.com
Because snowleopard was working fine, I decided to install mavericks In a brand new separate drive.
Mavericks works fine, other than some video card issues, I get some random, rgb pixels on my monitor now and my second display isn't detected at all. But I can do the python Django training so I'll live. I'm using a quadrofx 4500.
But now, when I boot into snowleopard on my other hd, it freezes almost every time. Most of the time it gets stuck on the white screen after the apple logo. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get it logged in but it freezes randomly. I always have to hard boot to get it back.
I tried using disk utility while in mavericks and after running repair permissions and repair disk it stated that the drive was in good shape. Because I can run things in mavericks I don't think it's a memory issue.
I thought because I installed mavericks on separate drive it wouldn't affect my snowleopard drive.
Any suggestions, thoughts?
