Mavericks On Unsupported Mac

I've spent the last 2 days trying to install Mavericks on my MacBook 4,1. It is from Early 2008. It is unsupported, but I would like to install Mavericks on it. Is there a workaround for bypassing the system check or just generally getting it to install?

  • Install Mavericks on Unsupported. Mac Os On Unsupported Mac 'Thirty two sixty four for Mac OS X' search that in Google, you can run Mavericks and Yosemite on any unsupported mac with at least a core duo processor, just down load the software and follow the directions. And FYI you can install windows 10 on any Intel mac.
  • 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!

I've tried:

Mavericks does not believe it can run on this hardware. As I understand it SFOTT installs a little program that 32 bit EFI is capable of starting, and that in turn is capable of staring a 64 bit system. Also, SFOTT patches a few files so Mavericks feels comfortable running on the unsupported hardware. You can do all of this on your own without SFOTT. Apr 20, 2013 - 28 Comments. Many older Macs lost out on the ability to run OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3!), but some hard working fellows have created a free third party tool called MLPostFactor that allows for the newest version of OS X to be installed on older, officially unsupported Macs. The process used to be quite complicated, but with. Hi, I was just wondering, is there a way to install Mavericks on a MacBook that is not officially supported? I have an old 13' MacBook from 2007 with a Core2Duo and Intel 950 graphics.

  • SFOTT (found out it's for Macs that have 32-bit EFI and/or processors; I have 64-bit versions of both)
  • Making a plain USB installer by using DiskMaker X (fails at the prohibitary (⊘) symbol when booting)
  • Doing SFOTT on a partition on the internal HD (same result as SFOTT)
