Acer Aspire 4730Z
 
i was wondering if anybody knew if the Acer Aspire 4730z is compatible to run Mac OS X? thanks

Tell us what hardware it has so we could tell anything. Need to know at least cpu, chipset, gfx card.

How do you install OS X on the Acer Aspire 4730Z
 
Can you simply load OS X on the Aspire? Or does this require a hack?

Any ideas on how to get the drivers to work?

thanks,

Rangerdon

Installing
 
I have iatkos v7 installed almost no issues. Only complication was I had to buy a dell 1505 wifi card which really wasn't that bad. Other than that have had no issues with OS X runs just as good if not better than a macbook pro. If you have any questions about drivers just reply to this post

Hi Stan,

How did you able to install the iatkos v7 on Aspire 4730z I need help. I have the same model and for a week i was trying to install iatkos_v7 and I could not get the installer to run.

The first attempt I tried I was getting "still waiting for root device" errors but I got pass that error using this boot flags rd=disk0. Right now I have CPU kernel Vodoo panic when using that boot flag rd=disk0 it says nfs_boot failed..

I am assuming that nfs is for network file system so I turned off the network boot on the bios but still got the same error.

what's your boot parameter when you installed the iatkos_v7 can you let me know please.

anyone please help.
