Toshiba a500-02f
 

Toshiba Satellite a500.....Hi there. I see that you don't have my model but since this is the Toshiba laptop shack i figured i could come here to post my results and ask for any help I need. So far I got everything working except Webcam, mic, Wifi and Graphics card, MY wifi is Realtek-RTL8191SE and my graphics are Nvidia GeForce G210M. Ive got Qe/Ci enabled but after a few minutes or opening certain things i get graphic glitches and artifacts and such. any help would be appreciated!

I'll check into the wifi, I need to know what interface the webcam is in order to help you with that, I assume its built in USB WEB cam, I also will have to look into the Graphics card, I am surprised to see quartz enabled on a Toshiba contrats on that. Will get back to you shortly.

Webcam is Built in USB WEB cam. Quartz is enabled but bugs out every once and a while. Still a work in progress

I think there is a kext for the webcam.

So those are the specs...I tried to be a thorough as I could to make it easier... i hope.

What would be the best OSX to install? iPC, SnowOSX Universal, ect... I REALLY want osx on this thing but i just dont know if any with install and if all kexts are available for this machine.

I forgot WiFi and Blutooth as well.

Well I like to use either SnowOSX Universal 3.6 or a retail install with the Empire EFI CD.

As for the kexts I'll have to look into those, the DVD-RW should work, the screen should at-least get native resolution and the keyboard and trackpad will need the latest edition of VoodooPS2.kext with trackpad support, the network interfaces I would have to look into.

Alright, I was wondering if you could link me for the Kext file for the webcam. its worth a shot! thanks :)

can you send me your kext for the wifi? I have everything else working except that.
Used apple azalia for the sound.

Thanks

"WIFI: Realtek RTL8187B Working with Modified Kext"

How does one do that?

Well I downloaded the original kext from Realtek and it did not work, so I patched the kext by changing the Device ID to the Device ID of the internal RTL8187B that I have.

You can download it here : http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/official-patched-realtek-usb-rtl8187b-wifi-kext-release-t5472/

Can't Find Toshiba Satellite L300d-1ar drivers kexts
 

some one help by posting TOSHIBA SATELLITE L300D-1AR drivers kexts for this laptop

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6015
 

I just purchased this yesterday with my main goal to dual boot MacOX X. I have a 5-license copy of Mac OS X that I plan to use to install.

I sort of decided to buy then dive into this and should have done my research first because i am not 100% sure that I will be able to install Mac OS X SL on it now based on what I am reading.

Here are the specs;

I thought I did my homework, I did not, now I realize that you have to know the EFI String, and resolutions to set before booting a "132" CD Image. :-)

Any ideas? Should I just return this notebook and get myself a used Macbook Pro?

What happens is when I boot with the (I believe it is Chameleon compiled into a .iso) I get to the point where the Snow Leopard disc is found properly but when I select it to continue, there is some text that scrolls on the screen and the laptop reboots. The text scrolls by so quickly that I don't really notice any errors.

I've got a very good *nix background and Mac OS background. Just wanted to try and save about $2k by NOT buying a Macbook Pro.

I ran CPUID-Z (I believe that is what it is called, and there was no further detail on the Intel graphics chipset.... odd I thought.

Some more searches pulled out that Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD = GMA 5700M HD ??

Well you need to get a little more spec info like who makes the WiFi card and what model, and also I suggest iAtkos v7 Leopard or a retail instal of Snow Leopard using the Empire EFI CD.

00010

I tried Empire EFI CD and the laptop reboots when it gets ready to use my SL Retail DVD. The last messages that I see are:

[laptop reboots]

No Hackintosh will be as reliable and easy to use as a true Macintosh. At best, it'll work as well as (or perhaps even better than, in some respects) a real Mac, but there will always be the potential for software upgrades to completely hose the system, and in most cases there's a steep learning curve to get it installed in the first place. You may get it 90% working without too much trouble, but then you'll have issues getting that final 10% (WiFi, optimum graphics, getting sleep working, etc.). Thus, if you've got the extra cash and want something that Just Works, buy the real Mac. If not, either abandon plans to run OS X or plan to spend many hours researching and debugging.

As to your specific system, it probably uses a recent enough Intel video chipset that you won't get optimum video performance -- it'll be missing QE/CI support, which means that some advanced games and video players won't work with it. AFAIK, this is true of the vast majority of current commodity laptops. My understanding is that Apple has switched to nVidia graphics on its recent models, so the current line of Intel graphics chipsets may never be fully supported. WiFi issues can be worked around via a USB WiFi dongle, so I wouldn't worry too much about them just yet.

If Empire EFI doesn't work, you could try a distribution, such as the iAtkos that 00010 suggests; however, iAtkos is a 10.5.x distribution. There's a 10.6.x distribution floating around under the name "Hazard," and I think there are one or two other 10.6.x distributions, but there are nowhere near the number of 10.6.x distributions that there were of 10.5.x distributions.

On a Satellite 350D
 

Hi
I would like to get started with Hackintoshing my Toshiba Satellite a350D and this place seemed to be the obvious choice for guidance.
Current system is a multi-boot of Vista / Ubuntu / Fedora12 using the Vista bootloader in MBR and GRUB in boot partitions for fedora and Ubuntu.
Seek guidance as to what would be the distribution i should download


Hardware config is as under:
CPU: Intel C2D 7350 @ 2 GHz
MB: Intel PM45 + ICH9M
IDE: Intel 82801IB 4 Port AHCI SATA controller
BIOS: Phoenix v2.20

ATI HD Audio over HDMI
Wifi : Intel 5100AGN
LAN ; Realtek RTL8168C/8111C PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Bluetooth: Toshiba Bluetooth (Generic Bluetooth adapter)
Hard Drive: 2 * 250 GB Internal Disk Drives

Integrated Card Reader (intel based)
Optical Drive: DVD RW
Ports: USB (3), USB eSATA combo (1), HDMi (1), firewire (1), HDMI (1), VGA (1), Svideo(1)

I tried the latest Empire EFI iso.
After booting as expected I insert the Snow Leopard DVD (retail 5-license version) I get to a point where I am asked to "press any key" and when I do that, the Toshiba reboots.

I have not tried the other method yet with iAtkos. I am at a point where I don't want to spend ages on this, I have decided to purchase a refurbished Macbook Pro 17" 2.23GHz for $999, which was a steal I thought.

I most likely will take this Winblows 7 machine back to Staples and get refunded.

Normally (almost never) do I give up on something, but it appears that the hardware may be too new to install Mac OSX on it.

When I was rebooting the Winblows 7 a couple of times, after changing one of the partitions, I got the BSOD pop up with some kind of crazy Windows memory error. LOL.. I'll be glad to take it back.

unless there is still hope to change this thing into a Mac...

No go

Hello! I've recently become really fond of the Mac OS, since we have an iMac at school.

I have three computers, but I want Mac OS X to run on my new laptop, which is a Toshiba Qosmio X500-10Z.

Since I'm new to all of this, all I've managed to do is install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on the laptop. I couldn't boot with the CD, my laptop would just reboot itself after "Starting Darwin x86" or something like that (I tried various busratios and cpus=1 stuff, nothing worked). Anyways, I have a desktop with Core i7 920 and a HD5870 so I was able to install Mac through that computer. Now, however, to start the OS I have to enter in -x (Safemode?) and then it'll boot up properly.

Nothing works though, LAN, WiFi, graphics, sound... it's all "dead".
It has an Atheros AR8131 for LAN, the WiFi is a Realtek RTL8191SE, the graphics is a nVIDIA GTS 250M, and the sound is a conexant pebble HD smartaudio thingie. Oh, also, the processor is a Core i7 720QM. I believe the chipset is PM55.

Is this computer simply too new for the Mac OS? Or is its components perhaps never going to be supported?

If only I could get the graphics card working and either LAN or WiFi... plus sound... :(

i have a toshiba L455 and it has almost the same specs as your laptop but it has a pentium dual core processor. The only distro I've gotten to work is the snowosx distro. I tried all of the different kexts for wifi and sound but none of them work!

Hi,got me an old Toshiba L30 113 celron laptop and iatikos 5 and ipc 10.5.6,what should i install in customize section of installers and which distro is better to use,i currently have iatikos installed but have a root device error and cant get it to run,thanks.

Well, I tried iPC as-well I could not even get the DVD to boot-up, let alone install, but if it works I suggest iPC, but if you want to use iAtkos ( which I like better) then after installtion type:

rd=disk0

0r

rd=disk0s1

0r

rd=disk0s2

0r

rd=disk0s3

and if you find one that boots properly edit you apple.com.boot.plist with that entry.


00010

IPC wouldnt boot for me either its iAtikos that installed,what about the customization part, what drivers will i install for the L30 toshiba?

Well, I am not familiar with all Toshiba L series Laptops, but all I selected was the USB fix and there are some network kexts but I tried those and they did not work, It can run any kernel on that DVD so take your pick, I suggest the latest Voodoo kernel, or the Vanilla kernel( to choose the vanilla kernel just don't select anything), I suggest installing the network interface and video kexts after the install, The Toshiba series does well with Snow Leopard as-well, so if you want I would suggest doing a retail install of Snow Leopard using the last edition of Empire EFI, thats only if you have an intel CPU.

00010

Hi there,
I just wanted to update that I have successfully installed Mac OSX on my Toshiba with the help of countless threads on this forum (and some others) and wanted to offer my gratitude to the users of this forum.
I was able to install iAtkos v.7 on my Satellite A205-S7464 with fairly minimal headaches and plan to post a tutorial on the web as time permits.
Nearly everything worked on my initial install, however I have a few issues to address, if anybody is able to assist.
1.) Wireless networking not working [Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection]. From my investigating thus far, this might not be possible and I'm okay with that.
2.) Wired networking not working [Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller]. I have yet to find a working driver for this adapter.
I do however have bluetooth working on the Mac and on my Desktop PC and was planning on trying to set up a bluetooth PAN for internet connection sharing if anybody can guide me in the right direction.
3.) Power Management. I installed a power management pkg that I found on the web and now when I boot into Mac OS it boots into a grey screen with a power icon in the middle and the text "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." in four languages. I'm not sure how to contend with this.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again to all who frequent this forum.

Well the last subject you brought up is a kernel panic, which is not good, take a look at your console log and see what happened.

Any ideas about getting wifi and sound working on a Satellite L550 (or general L500 range) installed with the snow osx and it went fine, no probs, boots without a problem.. but now i havent got a clue where to start looking for and how to install the other files i need :S

would appreciate any help you may be able to give me :)

Trouble with SnowOSX_Universal_10.6(432)GM_v3.5 on Toshiba A505 S6960
 

Hello. I was wondering if you have a process to help me out. I recently put SnowOSX_Universal_10.6(432)GM_v3.5 on my Toshiba A505-S6960 Computer. It installed fine. But my USB, Webcam, Sound, Ethernet, etc. did not work. So I tried to add some .kexts but I just furthered the problem and now the computer is stuck in a boot loop. It says "Your computer needs to restart" every time I try to boot into Snow Leopard. So if you could help me through the process that would be great. My computer specs. are as follows:

Just to let everyone know. I am bringing the Toshiba L305 project back. I had abandoned it at one time. So any news on the Toshiba L305 series would be most appreciated, Also as a side note I may be forming a Toshiba Laptop group, so if you know your way around a Toshiba laptop, Drop me an email at : [email protected]

i need help. i can boot Windows 7. I used EasyBCD 2.0 and I made another boot thing for Mac. I then turn off computer than it tells me what i want to boot in i pick mac. Chameleon comes up I press F8 then choose the drive where Mac OS X is installed. This message appears"Hibernate Image is too old by xxxxx seconds. ForceWake=y to override." I don't know what to do. I typed it and it it still doesnt work. Please help me. I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872. I used iPC to install Mac. It installed Mac OS X 10.5.6. Please help me.

Have you tried any boot flags?




00010

Yes. It didn't work. If you have AIM MSN anything can you please PM me it so I can talk to you. I'm on my iPod since the laptop isn't working. Please tell me so you can help me thank you very much.

I'm running Kalyway 10.5.2 on my L305-S5907. I installed Kalyway and had everything working fine (besides QE/CI and DVD playback) on my old A105-S2231 before I transferred my 80GB hard drive to my L305. Everything runs great except the graphics are stuck with native resolution, mic and headset jacks aren't working and the Atheros wifi card isn't detected. I'm not sure which model the Atheros card is because it doesn't have the model number in the detailed product specifications and I don't want to open her up to find out and possibly cause some internal damage to the laptop. If anyone can offer some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core
Chipset: Mobile Intel GL40 Express
Memory: 4GB DDR2 SDRAM
Storage: 80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
Graphics: Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelrator 4500M
Wireless: Atheros (Model unknown)

I am running a fully working L305 myself, It's a Realtek WIFI card for sure (unless you swapped it out) And VoodooHDA.kext works for the audio, Also I have the graphics kext you need to get native Resolution and OpenGL.

Contact me @ [email protected] if you need further assistance.

Peace out,

I haven't replaced any hardware at all. I just checked the hardware info using the iATKOS v7 dvd, and it is an Atheros AR928X wireless card (168c:002a). I followed your installation method and reinstalled osx86 using iATKOS v7. I tried adding my device id to the AirPortAtheros.kext and repaired permissions but that didn't work. Are the any other kexts that might be compatible with this particular card?

These kexts are for the Toshiba L305-S5955, The Toshiba L305-S5955 has a realtek based Wifi card.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 Laptop. What flavor of Mac should I use? iPC, iAkatos, iDneb Ect.? Thanks. Also if you know how please PM me how I would do this on an external hard drive and which one I should use.
