Today Apple released 10.6.3, the 3rd major update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. To update from 10.6.2, simply run Software Update or download the 10.6.3 Delta Update from Apple.
Remember to do a full backup of your data before running the update- you never know what will happen. Also do a full backup of your /Extra folder and your /System/Library/Extensions folder before installing the update. You may need some of those kexts, especially if you have made changes to device ids, modified AppleHDA.kext, etc... To back up, simply drag your /System/Library/Extensions folder to desktop, and rename the folder 10.6.2 System-Library-Extensions, or whatever will reference it best for you.
If you're worried about borking your install, don't feel like you have to update right away- wait a week and see if it breaks anything. If I hear of any updates or workarounds needed for graphics, ethernet, sound, or any other component, I will add them to this post.
Please post your results with the update in the forum! It will help others with similar hardware! See you in 10.6.3!
-tonymacx86
PS: I'm finishing up a brand new installation guide based on iBoot + MultiBeast. After a day or two of feedback regarding this update, it will be posted here. It represents a new universal Boot CD method for any Intel Core i3/i5/i7. It is completely terminal-free and the easiest yet. And the Boot CD enables full graphics acceleration, audio, and ethernet by default. Open to testing!
10.6.3 ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
About This Mac
Still says Intel Quad-Core Xeon for i5/i7 by default. However, you can inject i5/i7 info into About this Mac by inserting SMcputype into smbios.plist. This functionality is included in the latest MultiBeast.
For i5, use 1537. For i7, use 1793 . Thanks to Lightspeed and zoleg!
USB
Some users are reporting lack of USB support upon update to 10.6.3. In order to be 100% functional, USB needs DTGP + UHCI/EHCI fix applied in a modified DSDT. Otherwise USB keyboard/mouse will not work. If you do not have a DSDT, you may end up with no USB keyboard/mouse support.
USB Wake from Sleep
If waking from sleep with current DSDT edits and 10.6.3 IOUSBFamily.kext, you will have to re-plug any devices that require power. There is no official fix besides rolling back to 10.6.2 for now. We're working on new DSDT edits that will solve this issue.
The 10.6.3 update will break the current audio solution for LegacyHDA + DSDT for ALC 888/888b/889. The good news is that 889a is still supported- you can use the same solution as before. Bad news is that we'll have to come up with a better solution for these 3 codecs.
Non-Vanilla Audio Solutions

- UPDATE: Use the Power Button on your case to wake from sleep instead of USB. There will be no USB issues, and even better, you do not have to change the IOUSBFamily.kext.
- 10.6.2 IOUSBFamily.kext Rollback will alleviate all issues, including trouble with iPhone/iPod Touch syncing. This will included in the next MultiBeast.
- USBFamilyMOD 9.9.9 is now included in the latest MultiBeast. This allows full USB support without DSDT with the exception of syncing iPhone/iPod touch.
The 10.6.3 update will break the current audio solution for LegacyHDA + DSDT for ALC 888/888b/889. The good news is that 889a is still supported- you can use the same solution as before. Bad news is that we'll have to come up with a better solution for these 3 codecs.
Non-Vanilla Audio Solutions
- One less vanilla approach is to install the 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext. Your system will work exactly as before. I've rolled up a package installer that will do the job automatically. This functionality is available in the latest MultiBeast..
Download the 10.6.2-AppleHDAInstaller
Vanilla Audio Solution
- Forget about LegacyHDA.kext and the DSDT edits and just use VoodooHDA.kext. It works fine with the 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext in initial testing. Available in MultiBeast.
SATA Hard Drives
You may notice that upon 10.6.3 and reboot, all of your SATA drives are orange, hot swappable, and show up as External. However, your drives will behave 100% normally.
- If you're bugged by this, you can install IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector or JMicronSATA in /Extra. Available in MultiBeast.
- Check out netkas.org for solutions and a new 10.6.3 QE/CI Exotic.pkg.
10.6.3 SleepEnabler.kext
If you're using SleepEnabler.kext remove it before the update and update to this new version. "Remove SleepEnabler.kext if you use it, this is very important step, old sleepenabler + new kernel = panic." netkas.org

Good stuff tony, thanks!
Hey Tony (and friends)....I built my Hackintosh with a GA-EX58A-UD3R motherboard, a Intel i7-930 processor, Ati Readeon HD 4870 video card, and 12GB 1600 DDR3 memory. Everything seem to be fine when booting with the EFI. How do I get it to work booting from the hard drive? Can you tell me exactly what to use in Multiblast for audio and the rest of the components on the motherboard? Thank you.
I confirm that 10.6.3 works with:
Intel Core i5 750
4 GB Ram
HD4870 (full working)
WD 640 HDD
Linksys WUSB600N (Wireless-N :P )
I did update with my dp55wg all good so far everything is working !
Tony,
I need help... Posted in the forums, please forgive posting here. I'm freaked!
[b]I'm a assclown[/b]. I installed the update and now my machine won't boot. Errors on the NV Enabler, I think. I tried to boot from my backup and it doesn't work.
Herb
Keyboard and Mouse don't work after update.
Thank you so much Tony, you are the man! :)
Only problem I have is that I have orange icons of my HDDs now :(
is i5 650 supported now???
waiting for DSMOS...
and comp wont boot past this error.
Yeah, bring it on!
You're the man, Tony!
All good !! Dp55WG I7 860
All seems to be working great for me (GA-P55-UD3R i7 860). Two things I noticed though. First AppleAHCIPort.kext has been changed, hence why the orange HD icons. Secondly, audio of course it does not work anymore however unlike before, all of the device/jack info is retained in system profiler (10.6-10.6.2 it would state No Audio Info) and as well, the sound icon remains in my menu bar. This looks rather promising in regards to using the vanilla 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext. I will report back if I find anything promising. :P
I have the same problem with GA-P55A-UD3 Mobo, audio it doesn't work even with your patch, is there any other solution?
Thanx.
Tony,
You are amazing, thanks for doing all this work.
A
Tony, same audio issue here, patch included. Icon appears in menu bar greyed out.
hey tony works great. I actually use multibeast a lot to fix issues on my X58A UD3R. It was the only thing tha got sound working. I did get it working again on 10.6.3 by installing the supplied apple HDA. and running my old from 10.6.2. good stuff man, keep up the good work.
Working, with audio patch and orange drives. Gigabyte P55A-UD4p, i5 750, nvenabler works
I'm having the same problem as Anonymous @ 2:38pm:
Mac WILL NOT recognize my keyboard and mouse. They both work/light up during the BIOS and both still work on another computer, but as soon as my Hack Pro boots into OSX 10.6.3, the mouse optical light immediately goes out and the keyboard becomes worthless.
What really sucks is that I started to update yesterday, but ran out of time and only installed a couple of things. Today without even seeing that 10.6.3 was released, I downloaded and installed what I figured was the rest of what I didn't get yesterday. Ouch!
installing patch now - thanks :)
I was hoping that, with 10.6.3, About This Mac would show the correct core i7 processor but it still shows Quad-Core Intel Xeon :(
P55M-UD2 and still no sound after installing patch.
Jeff
tony to the rescue again.
everything working, including the sound thanks to your audio installer for the 888.
Before I checked here, I found the AppleHDA to be the offender by looking in kernel.log. But even when i tried to manully put my 10.6.2 from backup in play, it would not work.
Thanks a bunch!:)
Tony,
Thanks for jumping on this so soon after 10.6.3 is released. Very impressive and a huge service to the community.
1.
Once you do get a definitive guide if you could start a new thread in the forum rather than editing the existing thread I think it would make things much clearer so that users don't have to wade through 30 plus pages, most of it related to 10.6.2
2.
Ideally the new guide will have everything in it rather than linking to old guides for parts of the install method. Having everything in one place makes things so much clearer for everyone, reduces confusion, and hopefully will reduce the number of people who have problems because they did not follow your guide properly.
Once again, thanks for all the good work you are doing.
Nick
FYI for anyone who has a GA-P55-UD3R and no luck with audio my old patched AppleHDA.kext still works fine (S/PDIF out, line in/ out, mic, and headphones) from Kexts.com.
Just installed the update. Everything works except one. When I move windows around, they lag behind the cursor. Does anyone else have this problem?
In order for you to see i5 or i7 in About This Mac or System Profiler, the bootloader you use needs to be patched to return the proper value for those cpu types. Once the authors get around to it, you'll see i5 or i7. I recompiled AsereBLN 1.1.9 with the proper value for the i7 and it's recognized by OS X.
@Lightspeed-
Share it with us! :)
I sort of did on the forum. I don't really want to post a binary of boot. I would except that if I do it right, I have no way of testing that the i5 works as well. In my case I just stuck the value in the right place since I don't need to test for the i5.
Another comment on the audio not working with P55A-UD3.
USB ports work but keyboard and mice don't. GA-H55M-UD2H board used, worked great until this update using your guide with iBoot + MultiBeast.
Hi Tony - update went fine however sound is the issue - I am slightly wary of using the 10.6.2 AudioHda file as Apple did an upgrade to the MacPro some weeks ago which replaced the Apple HDA kext file. The reason for the update was that in a 2009 MacPro calling any function involved audio caused the processor temp to rise by 10-20 degrees Celsius and power requirement to go up from 73 watts to over 150 watts.
I would love to hear of another solution as I am forcrd to use a USB sound device (Griffin iMic) which works fine.
MB is an MSI GD80.
I dont have orange icons after update to 10.6.3 , my audio is ok with appleHDA.kext from 10.6.2
On a positive note 10.6.3 boots much faster on my system and memory usage seems a little bit improved. Working to see if this update will fix my wireless woes, fingers crossed. Thanks Tony for the easy to use audio fix, much appreciated!
Ran 10.6.3, everything went ok except audio. Used Tony's installer to revert to 10.6.2 appleHDA.kext, reboot, got audio back.
E/E has fakesmc, JMicron36xSATA, JMicronATA.kext and LegacyHDA...i5 750, Gigabyte P55A-UD4P 4gb
Cheers!
Interestingly, my Geekbench 64bit scores rose by 400 points to 7800 with 10.6.3...running stock Bios settings with speedstep. Temps are unchanged at 42c.
Sleep/wake is now broken. I tried using the new SleepEnabler.kext and even reinstalled NullCPUPowerManagement.kext linked from the netkas.org post linked above but it refuses to wake. Sounds works after reverting to 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext as promised. No other problem. Any suggestion? I am not using any DSDT. Thanks!

________________________________________________
Any ideas? I did delete the SleepEnabler.kext, but I may have forgotten to replace it with the 10.6.3 version. What can I do? Thanks!
works good for me over here, apart from the cosmetic issue of Disk Drives showing up as removing (they are technically removable, hot-swap AHCI :D). I only use FakeSMC & a custom build of voodoohda.
asus p7p55d, core i5 750, 8gb.
drives didn't go orange for me, sound went but patch fixed it. WIFI is NOW BROKEN, no card detected, and no obvious wifi kext change, I hav gone back to 10.6.2 till I can work out how to fix this.
Upgraded to 10.6.3 so far all looks good except for the sound. I have 889a, and was using the delivered AppleHDA with Voodoo. Voodoo is still in the Extensions folder but no longer working. Need to get that going.
Will report back once I get further
Tony, you mentioned above that the 889A audio is supported natively now? I am assuming that means I don't need any additional kexts etc, but do I need to make any changes to the DSDT file again to remove some lines etc? Thx
Never mind re: SleepEnabler.kext. I rebooted with the Snow Leopard retail DVD and used the terminal to manually delete the .kext files from both the /Extra/Extensions and /System/Extensions folders. Booted up and ready to go.
Interested in the same thing 'ElvenTanis' was asking about. 889a supported natively? Meaning I can remove legacyhda.kext & hdaenabler.kext ?
If that is what Tony meant that is good news.
Now just waiting in the SATA fix before I update.
GA-EP45-DS3
Sound is there, but it's bugged sometimes — buzzes ans hisses on sound effects. iTunes is fine so far.
MKV support in Quicktime X is now dead! Seriously, my 1080P FLAC audio MKV files (or any) can no longer be played in QTX. This is very bad because it was the ONLY OS X program that could decode FLAC audio (with plug-in). I have found NOTHING in W7 either that can play FLAC MKV. Boooo....!!!!
News about ATI 5xx0 support ?
Many thanks.
@Bansaku
Did you try xACT? Also Toast Titanium can play FLAC besides QTX
I have installed 10.6.3 by software update aand the system reboot correctly but the graphic card don't work correctly. The resolution screen work only at 1024x768. I install the same kext that I find on insanely mac for ati 4650 that on 10.6.2 work fine...but at the restart the system don't display correctly the desktop, the system is enable to work correctly
what can I do?
fotomodello
For i5/i7 in "About this mac"
use 1537 value in SMcputype
(in smbios.plist)
GA-P55m-UD2, Tony's audio fix still not working. Any ideas? Thx

@ Anonymous:
I have the same board and its working for me! I have DSDT from tony and installed the AppleHDA Fix that is available on the top of this page. I only had a problem with some permissions which I fixed with:
sudo chown root:admin /
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
Now my system.log is clear from errors and everything is working great! I love it! :)
No luck. The big difference here is that I did a upgrade from 10.6.0 -> straight to 10.6.3 and skipped the 10.6.2 upgrade. Tried Philipp's suggestion. Still getting the errors. I'm wondering if 10.6.2 has something that I need that wasn't included in the 10.6.3 combo updated.

Hey on Windows 7 to play mkv files and flac, have you tried vlc (www.videolan.org) or the Splash Lite program (www.mirillis.com)? Unless I misunderstood your response.
Also, the vlc program is available for OS X as well. So far these 2 programs have played everything for me.
It seems as if the 10.6.3 kernel still does not support core i3's natively...
tested with i3-530, system reboots the same way as before :(
audio fix patch example, replace audio codec id ALC885 to ALC662 in AppleHDA.kext.
・ALC662
sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x85\x08\xec\x10|\x62\x06\xec\x10|g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleHDA
Thanks for the headsup Tony! Copied the old IOUSBFamily.kext to /Extra/Extensions, ran the updater, removed the new AppleHDA.kext and rebooted. Everything seems to be in order!
(GA-P55-UD3R w/i7 860)
The sleepenabler works with 10.6.3 in combination with the P55A-UD3, thanks! :)
I used my 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext and that worked as well. Can't wait for a fix for the orange disk icons. :)
@mfbernstein
What option are you using for audio? Since 10.6.2 DTS/AC3 output no longer works with my hacked AppleHDA.kext (S/PDIF still works great though). Using DSDT from db and LegacyHDA+10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext has never worked for me.
Restart before applying the Tony's USB fix. Now, I don't have access to the screen via the mouse or keyboard. What can I do? Thx
@Anonymous (post on 3/30 at 5:41PM)
I took out my SATA hard drive, put it into an enclosure, ran his installer for the USB fix on another Mac I had, and now it works. Some other people should be able to help you if you're unable to do that.
Tony... thank you so much, your guides and support are amazing.
I've been trying a couple of things, but I cannot get back QE/CI on my GTX 260. NVenabler problem?
Anybody else having this issue after 10.6.3?
When I move Windows around, they lag behind the mouse cursor, for me also, after updating to 10.6.3. Haven't done any troubleshooting yet.
GA-P55M-UD2 i5 750
Still no sound, updated bios and used multibeast for LegacyHDA+DSDT board specific, ran the patch for 10.6.2 AppleHDA to no such luck.
Hmm...
ok, so I got my Sound working better than before by using a LegacyHDA.kext created by someone on Insanely Mac. Sound is great, however, the volume icon on the main screen is not enabled so I cannot change the output volume from there. Any ideas why that would not be enabled? When I go into System Preferences and Audio, the aggregate device that I created says that is does not have any output controls available either. Thx
Tony, I have a GA-P55m-UD2 with an I5 the USB wake issue is only with the port that wakes and if you unplug and replug it works fine, I changed it up so that I use my mouse to wake and have it plugged into a monitor port not the keyboard.
the sound issue,it Still shows in System Profiler, as being present, but not in the system preferences, so there is a disconnect between the kexts loaded and the system Preferances.
just my 2 pennies, not that they are worth the copper with Obama in charge.
HBP112358
i have a GA-H55m S2H w/ i5 750, like "hbp112358" i have the USB wake issue only with the port that wakes and if you unplug and replug it works fine, everything else is working (but not auto sleep)
thanks you tony
Waiting for DSMOS" P35-ds4
Fakesmc installed. No DSMOS , but waiting for DSmos.
Help!!! Always use pfix....... Why waiting for dsmos
p55-ud3 everything works except audio. patch does not help :(
I tried MultiBeast to get my sound working. Now my system doens't boot up :(.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?uid=76&f=7&t=286&start=130
Ok, this is going to sound strange but the USB wake issue doesn't occur for me if I uncheck "Allow power button to put the computer to sleep"
I'm on the UD2 using a modified DSDT (changes for my graphics card).
Hope that helps!

re: does'nt work here ):
how does one install the fix if the mouse does'nt work?
if the mouse does not work then how does one install the fix?
Chris if you have another Mac and have screen sharing turned on you could use it or a windows computer with RealVNC installed.
@Chris
Once you have installed 10.6.3 you can install Tony's USB fix before rebooting.
Just edited the top- there are a few more vanilla solutions for the issues that we've come up with today. Check it out! ;)
typo under audio:
Vanilla USB Solution
should be Vanilla Audio Solution
nevermind it's fixed
Anyone else's DDR3 RAM showing as "DDR2 SDRAM" under "About This Mac"? It shows fine under System Profiler. Finally got it to display the "Intel Core i7" though :)
Everything else working same as before on my P55-UD4P, audio, usb, graphics, ect.
Thanks Tony for all this amazing work. I tried using Voodoo for my UD2 and 10.6.3 AppleHDA with no luck. I removed the LegacyHDA kext but left my dsdt file from your database. Do I need to remove the the 888b code in the dsdt to get this to work? Thanks
Did anyone else's Flash break on the 10.6.3 update? flash videos stop after 3 seconds or so. not sure if it's hackintOsh related since my macbook pro is fried from the NVIDIA melt down issue ( won't honor recall for unknown reasons ).
Still working out that sound issue.
GA-P55M-UD2 i5
It works fine with 10.6.2's AppleHDA.kext. Thank you, Tony !
i5 750 on GA-P55A-UD3R , Gigabyte GVN250ZL-1GI
10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext in S/L/E, and then Six 3.5mm LegacyHDA in E/E using MultiBeast. Outputs look funky, but analog worked right away!
Thanks Tony!
GA-P55M-UD2 i5
Flash is back after fixing the audio !?
I too noticed that whatever USB devices wakes the computer will go dead until unplugged and reconnected. Reverted to the IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.6.2.
@Bansaku
I've added this to the post. We'll have to change up the USB edits- I'm pretty sure all of this is very fixable. ;)
@Chasing_Cars
What audio solution are you using for your build. I have a similar setup to yours with the P55-UD4P and the i7. I am currently using a LegacyHDA and audio is working but not sure if it is optimal.
Hello Tony,
i have an identical ud2 setup as yourself using your dsdt solution. Thanks for the guide! after the update to 10.6.3 my sleep function will not wake, only restarts the computer. This is really the only issue i'm having after applying the update fixes. Thanks for any help
simple solution for usb wake issue is wake your system using power button, works for my GA H55m-s2h + core i5 750 vanilla speedstep,,
Hello, sorry for my english I'm Russian
GB GA-P55-UD3 (usb working DSDT)
core i5 750 (speedstep dsdt)
9800GTX + 1024mb (included in 10.6.3 TV output through DSDT)
My geekbench shows 7432 points, is good?
Everything okay with the work in everything except sleep.
The computer just restarts when I push sleep, help turn the switch of sleep does not help having the same problem, by the way the windows 7 too sleep problems
help ?!!!!
Hello Tony,
ASRock P55 Pro (your DSDT for this mobo)
Core i5 750
everything ok, but alc890 sound only works with HDAEnabler and I should use another jack socket than in Windows to have sound and I cant use mic at all :(
Do you know how can I solve it?
I have a P5Q Pro Turbo Motherboard and the update ran smoothly. All i had to do was delete my SleepEnabler.kext and that was it. for some reason my boot time is slower tho =[. Thanks
Hello Tony and thank you very much.
I little post that might help.
I was able to install USBFamilyMod without keyboard using a terminal from install USB drive (you might use DVD install as well).
the command is:
installer -target /Volumes/nameOfOSXHDD -pkg USBFamilyMod.pkg
Hi Tony I made a backup of a working 10.6. 3 update after that tried to restore and boot from a clone hard drive. It does not boot from the clone HD with Chameleon R2. How to fix and can boot from that Clone HD? Please let me know.
@Anonymous-
Thanks for the terminal trick with USBFamilyMOD.pkg. I've added it to the post. ;)
Nice!
I'm happy if it can help!
But I forgot a detail:
Command installer is located in :
/INSERT-DRIVE-NAME-HERE/usr/sbin
So you have to be in that folder to use it or type:
/INSERT-DRIVE-NAME-HERE/usr/sbin/installer -target /Volumes/INSERT-DRIVE-NAME-HERE -pkg USBFamilyMod.pkg
Hi Tony, I want to buy a new pcie card and replace my ati 4650 1GB. I see that your build confog use a sparkle 1GB passive....this is ok? work fine and I have no problem with hackintosh?
gt250 work fine?
I think nvidia is better than ati for hackintosh.
Thank you for your help

I updated to 10.6.3, and now I don't have USB mouse or keyboard support. I tried installing the USBFamilyMod package using the boot CD, but I don't think my USB drive with the package installer is getting mounted correctly (as I can't find it). Any ideas?
installed usb fix rite before did update 10.6.3 worked perfect just had to reinstall audio kexts
core i7 860
p55-ud3r
nvidia 9800 gt
daul boot windows 7
Okay, I got the mouse + keyboard USB fix to work. I had to format the USB drive to "Mac OS X Extended" so that I could mount it.
By the way I think the path to the 'installer' utility should be (just prefix with /Volumes):
/Volumes/INSERT-DRIVE-NAME-HERE/usr/sbin/installer
Everything working on P55 UD3R, i5 750, Nvidia GTS 250 as before with
dual screen with full QE CI enabled. Only thing i had to do was install
APPLE HDA Kext and HDAEnabler kext through kext helper and drag
system/library/extensions through kext utility and everything working
exactly how it was. No orange drives or USB issues as some users have
been having.
Hey everyone, I just installed osx 10.6.3 and it's running amazing. I have a ud2 i5 750. I had some help from SD. I used multibeast. I was also able to put the i5 in About this Mac. The only issue I had was with the sound. Even after installing tony's patch, it wouldn't work. I quickly realized that I could be because I hadn't updated my mobo to F8. Mine is a revision 1.0. After I flashed it, I booted back into osx 10.6.3 and voila, sound! So for all you guys with UD2's who tried tony's patch, and sound doesn't work, make sure u flash your bios with F8 for revision 1.0 or 1.1. Make sure to check which revision it is. It's written on your board.
Encore CS4 won't startup after I upgraded.
Hi, Mr.Russian guy !
My score is

Besides myself, anyone notice since the update that Geekbench(/64) is scoring 500 pts higher? Also, iStat reports cpu temp 5'c lower on all 4 cores, both at idle and throttling.
I can confirm my Geekbench scores have shot up after the update. I have an overclocked 860 i7 at 4ghz, and I'm averaging around 13250. Here are my results http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/235593.

As expected USB KB/Mouse didn't work. SSH'd in and copied the kext across from 10.6.2 and rebooted. Everything seems to be working mint, perhaps even a bit snappier?

anyone have success on getting the digital coax output working? The analog works, but that coax gets me to my theater :-)
All the outputs that don't work show up as DevShortNameLino

@Stew-
Try some of the new VoodooHDA edits for digital outs. Check out the posts on the forum in the audio section. ;)

Hi,
I loose my USB Keyboard & Mouse after an update from X.6.2 to X.6.3.
I tried different solutions from this web site/forum without success. At the end, I reinstall from my X.6.2 Backup the following Kext: IOUSBMassStorageClass, AppleAHCIPort und IOUSBFamily with Kext Utility.
Rebuild cache -> it work's!!

Hi All,
Did a fresh install using the Iboot + Multibeast.
All was working fine - now after updating to 10.6.3 my USB Wireless keyboard wont work - mouse works.
Downloaded and installed the 2 USB mods above - no change.
Running a P5K-E motherboard.
Any help would be great!
Many thanks,
Muzzy
The VoodooHDA kexts seem to activate only HDMI outputs, looking for Digital coax work arounds. analog works, but both analog and coax choices would be awesome... it worked in 10.6.2 w/ legacy.
even if I have to re-kext to activate digital would be a joy.
UD2/i5
Hey I have a GA-P55M-UD2 with intel core i5 750, nvidia GTX 260 and when I'm done installing multi beast and shut down then boot up I always get "error0" when trying to boot up and it does this every time but I can launch it from the iboot DVD every time and I'm selecting the right things in multibeast after installing 10.6.3
For those who are having issues with getting sound after the 10.6.3 upgrade on ud2 mobo....make sure you remove the hdaenbler.kext before installing back the older 10.6.2 applehda.kext, you may have installed it into s/l/e trying to get sound to work by installing other install packages using multibeast.

a dsdt fix for the usb wake up issue with 10.6.3
bye
I am about to attempt this today. One question though regarding i7 and multithreading. The OSX will be reading my i7 as a xenon- does this mean the mac OSX will or will NOT take advantage of the i7 multithreading?
Also, I understand i must boot up with 4gb of ram, however I have 6. once i install OSX with 4gb then add the extra 2 (to complete my 6gb) will the mac OSX take advantage of the triple Channel ram?
Many thanks.
I have a i3 530 and asus p7p55d pro motherboard but no mather what bootloader or use a dsdt all i get is the mac boot screen i cannot get pass it, it is stuck there i don't event see the litle wheel spining
Please Help!!!
So I'm kind of a newb to hackintosh. Let me tell you what my set-up is first:
P55A-UD4P Motherboard
i7 2.8 GHz Processor
PNY GeForce 9800 GT Video Card
Everything works just fine, I used iBoot to install Mac OS and updated using Multibeast (Gigabeast).
My only problem is trying to connect my set-up to my LG HDTV via HDMI to DVI adapter. The screen just goes blank and my hackintosh inoperable!
Also, does anyone know how I can dual boot Mac OS and Windows 7 on a separate hard drive?
Please help me!
saya punya mobo asus P7P55D-core i3 530-Vga 9500GT pixelview 1 Gb, kenapa tidak bisa install mac osx snowleopard ver.10.6.2. pada saat booting awal selalu muncul "system config '/com.apple.boot.plist' not found".
saya uda coba pk cara lain dengan boot dari tonymacosx, pk cd ataupun usb..tetap hasilnya sama.

Please, help me...can you?
I tried the 10.6.2 audi kext on a dell mini 10v (some guys over at mydellmini.com said it would work. My system kernel panicked at every boot with the kext. By booting safe mode and running NBI I'm able to boot normally againg, but now without sound. Any ideas how to get sound back. What did your installer do to the system since NBI can't get sound back?
@anyone with usb keyboard/mouse issues
I'm using an intel x38 / ich9 board. my mouse/keyboard worked during setup and stopped working after booting as well. I was ripping my hair out, because i couldn't 'identify' my keyboard without my usb mouse -- well, i found a solution. whenever they stop working, i do the following (extremely complex) procedure to re-initialize them:
step 1)
unplug mouse
step 2)
unplug keyboard
step 3)
plug them both back in
also, experiment with moving them to different ports, but don't go crazy with it. i'm not proclaiming to be a mac expert or anything, but i'd be willing to bet that too many port changes might make the OS angry..
hope this helps some people.
@adrian
i'm a newb too. i'm not sure about your video issue, but i'd make sure you've got it plugged into the first port (closest to motherboard).
as far as your boot question, i accomplished it using my bios's boot menu. if you want to use chameleon to do it, there's a line somewhere in one of the files (sorry it's not more specific, but i've lost the link to the forum post where i originally found this info) that lets you select which device to boot... i believe it's in one of the boot.plist files, but i'm not certain.
@ anonymous

OSX doesn't like large drives, split the drive or get it under 750Gb at least, then it should boot just fine

Hi all
i need help
I have a 980X with a X58A UD7
and big pb i cannot pass the logo apple
:(
if some have infos about how to modify the boot list or else
i will be thankful
Big Tone,
A sterling job with the iBoot Multibeast thingybob. All installed okay on my Acer Aspire 7720g 172 Laptop, but for one thing and one thing only... your iboot disk loads ALPS glide bad drivers which make my touchpad go bloody mental (the cursor flies about really fast and jumps all over the place). Is there a way of unloading this driver manually, and if so, how? I am a complete beginner with Mac/Hack OS X and would just like a point in the right direction. Thanks in advance and a lot respect for your work
Emperor BumLeg
thanks for such a great package and so much good info on the mac.
I did the upgrade and then ran your s/w.
got everything working.
just one small problem.
The USB ports on the left side of my Laptop will not work. So no USB and NO external USB drives.
Funny thing is sometimes it works sometimes it wont. Will try your solution posted above.
Familly USB.
Wow...Thanks for the great write up. I went from 10.6.2 with no Audio no matter what I tried to upgrading to 10.6.3 and installing AppleHDA and VoodooHDA and having everything work. BTW I had to using the earlier release of VoodooHDA to work, the later version crashed me and had to boot with -x flag to delete it and get back into OSX. Thanks again.
Thanks for this post, just done a fresh 10.6.0 retail install on my Gigabyte 945GCM-S2L to get my GTX 260 working (was on 9500GT before, couldn't be bothered removing kexts). Once I got my GigabyteALC6626Ch.kext in /E/E, along with HDAEnabler.kext and my custom IONetworkingFamily.kext, everything was working fine! (Well, apart from my GTX 260 only showing with 512MB RAM, but meh)
Anyways, just installed the 10.6.3 combo update and rebooted to find broken audio. Patched AppleHDA.kext back to the 10.6.2 version with MultiBeast and it's all working again XD
Hi! Im getting a bit frustrated, tried most of all different options but after trying to get sound there is no way to go back to not have kernel panic at boot without -x. Is it because I have a retail 10.6.3 DVD and do not do the upgrade? p55m-UD2 and checked the bios 10 times so should be ok. It worked fine before with just adding busratio=20 in com.apple.Boot.plist Newbie...
@ Fredrik Persson, myself that is. Found that there were multiple sound solutions in /extensions that was conflicting. VoodooHDA.kext and AppleHDA.kext were both there, deleted both and rerun multibeast with 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext and it now works fine :D Does multibeast not remove files from /extensions?
The system seems a little bit unstable though, does not always shutdown properly and sometimes get stucked on music cds and dvds, does not eject discs... Anyone has an idea of why?
Great site and work done with iboot and multibeast, it is actullay easier than windows install!
by the way i stayed on 10.6.2
the os installed and my keyboard an mouse work but i cant my iloks to work? They show in the system profiler but they wont show up at ilok.com or when i open protools it cant find them any ideas???
Updating to 10.6.3 from .6.2 on my GA-H55M-S2H resulted in not being able to boot. iBoot still worked though ( :D ).
I installed a DSDT before rebooting as well as usb, audio patches.
Booting using iBoot, removing AppleHDA.kext (and using VoodoHDA), and removing the DSDT as well as upgrading to the 10.3.1 supported kernel and installing NVEnabler too made everything good again.
Specs: i5-750, 9600gt and GA-H55M-S2H
What your has been your experience when installing iBoot and Multibeast with a Retail Version of Snow Leopard 10.6.3? They only sell the 10.6.3 disc at the store now.
I'm going to try it on my Dell Laptop Isnpirion 1520 (Core Duo 2, nVidia 8600, 4 GB Ram, 500GB SATA HDD).
Quanta TW7A laptop with T7200. Installed from "iBoot Supported" CD. Restart work doesn't, power button is not active. Built-in keyboard and trackpad work _if_ iBoot CD is present at startup. USB works. Audio works, network ok (RTL8187 USB net adapter).
Any ideas about how to get the keyboard and trackpad to work without the CD?
Thanks for the hard work...
Installation on EP45-UD3 @ 8400 + 9800GT + 4Gig went fine but performance seems to be an issue. at the first look its all nice and dandy (graphic acceleration...) but comparing it with my MacBook Pro (realmac) I can just not understand why the Hackintosh (4 Core + faster GPU) is slower than my 2 core MacBook Pro @ 9400M GT...
Apps where I see issues:
- VM Ware (CPU goes just wild)
- Guitar Pro (Audio tics)
- Logic Pro (Audio & CPU issues)
Using XBench (I know crappy App) I get:
User Interface test = 288 (Hack) vs. 348 (MacBookPro)
Thread Test = 199 (Hack)vs. 309 (MacBookPro)
Quartz Graphic Test = 176 (Hack) vs. 210 (MacBookPro)
BUT apart from that, GREAT work ;-) would be just interesting to understand where the perf. shortfall comes from.
(still running on min kext + std kernel - no DSDT)
10.6.4 AUDIO
used multibeast to go back to 10.6.2 for AppleHDA, then sound worked (go to sound and change the output if only front works / viceversa, both dont work at the same time right now)
Sorry for asking that noobish question: how can I fix the issue with no usb if my usb ports arent working in the OS?
Please help me...
I have a P7P55D w/ Intel i5 750, 8 gb ram, 1.5tb sata hd. Purchased SL disc.
Choice of 4 vid cards:
Nvidia GTS250
Nvidia 8600 GTS
ATI RX800
ATI HD5670
Questions are: What vid to use? I do not have access to a MAC for the instructions. Is this totally necessary? Any other way to do it?
This is my first attempt at doing this. Any help would be much appretiated :)
I have an ASUS P5B, installed 10.6.3 using iBoot supported and 10.6.3 Retail Disk. Almost everything works, sound cards, eGalax touch screen, usb WIFI, Bluetooth, I can see extra drive on JMicron controller. Downlaoded a PS/2 Keyboard fix for my trackpad to work. Only problem is every time I boot have to unplug my USB keyboard for 20 sec then plug it back in for it to work. In system profiler it show vendor specific device when not working; composite device after I unplug and replug it. Is there anyway to get it to see it as a USB keyboard without me having to unplug every time?
