WARNING 1: Do not upgrade to macOS 14.4 if you have a non-Metal Mac
macOS 14.4 is currently unsupported with Macs equipped with non-Metal Graphics Cards, see macOS 14.4 non-Metal sessions bug #1125 for more information. Affected Macs:
- MacBook5,1 - MacBook7,1 (Early 2008 - Mid 2010)
- MacBookAir2,1 - MacBookAir4,x (Mid 2008 - Mid 2011)
- MacBookPro4,1 - MacBookPro8,x (Late 2008 - Late 2011)
- iMac7,1 - iMac12,x (Mid 2007 - Mid 2011)
- Macmini3,1 - Macmini5,x (Early 2009 - Mid 2011)
- MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1 (Early 2008 - Mid 2012)
Affected GPU Models (click to expand)
| Vendor | Architecture | Generation |
|---|---|---|
| AMD | TeraScale 1 and 2 | 2000 - 6000 series |
| Nvidia | Tesla | 8000 - 200 series |
| Nvidia | Maxwell and Pascal | 900 - 1000 series |
| Intel | Iron Lake | HD series |
| Intel | Sandy Bridge | HD 3000 series |
WARNING 2: If upgrading to macOS 14.4, you MUST install OCLP 1.4.2 beforehand.
A lot of hardware, including Metal GPUs, WiFi cards, T1 chipsets, etc have new patches made for macOS 14.4. We highly recommend installing OCLP 1.4.2 beforehand to ensure a smooth update.
WARNING 3: Upgrading to 12.7.4, 13.6.5 or 14.4 may break Auto Joining WiFi Networks on legacy Wireless Cards
To restore Auto-Join support, forget the network and re-add it.
This only applies for legacy WiFi cards, included with the following models:
- MacBook5,x (Early 2008 - Early 2009)
- MacBookAir2,1 - MacBookAir3,x (Mid 2008 - Late 2010)
- MacBookPro4,1 - MacBookPro7,1 (Late 2008 - Mid 2010)
- iMac7,1 - iMac12,x (Mid 2007 - Mid 2011)
- Macmini3,1 (Early 2009 - Late 2009)
- MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1 (Early 2008 - Mid 2012)
With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher v1.4.2, this build is primarily targeted for macOS 14.4 and all Macs to ensure proper functionality. Over 1.4.0 and 1.4.1, 1.4.2 resolves Auto Join for WiFi on modern Wireless Cards, legacy WiFi support for 12.7.4 and 13.6.5 and a USB 1.1 regression for macOS Ventura.
We hope everyone enjoys the new release!
As to be expected, macOS Sonoma support is still in active development. This is a community-driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use older OSes if you encounter issues that affect you.
