DieterKoblenz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You only need to patch it So you managed to get OSX installed to the Y500? I am still struggling getting to the installer, I now have a Maverick usb stick but even with some of the patches the screen turns black and the fan starts spinning up. I am using -X -F -V GraphicsEnabler=no PCI How did you manage it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommac Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Can you tell us how you got this file. Did you download it, use a piece of software to extract it, What OS (if any ) were you running to extract it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intruder Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's not that difficult to install OS X in y500. In my y510p it's running flawless without any probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srock61 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It's not that difficult to install OS X in y500. In my y510p it's running flawless without any probs.in y510p, when you remove sli card, you can use intel hd graphics. But in lenovo y500 you cant. So install fails. Laptop shut downs instantly.

intruder Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 in y510p, when you remove sli card, you can use intel hd graphics. But in lenovo y500 you cant. So install fails. Laptop shut downs instantly.Can't you choose "UMA" from BIOS instead of "Discrete"?FYI You can boot into OS X with or without Ultrabay. The actual problem comes with enabling Graphics Acceleration. Switchable graphics WILL NOT work with OS X.One more thing, using DSDT from another computer is a very bad idea even if its the same model/pc. A small change in ACPI can result in unexplained behaviors. I would advice anyone not to download or use DSDT from internet.PS. Its pretty easy to extract your ACPI tables (DSDT, SSDT etc) from any OS. RW-everything in windows for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty easy to extract your ACPI tables (DSDT, SSDT etc) from any OS. RW-everything in windows for example.Before, I installed hackintosh to several machines. But I fail on y500. I tried with my own patched DSDT, with combinations of boot flags, clover - chamelon, w/w-o ultrabay. Removed Intel - Nvidia etc kexts, patched mach_kernel etc etc. Nothing works. Best way is installing it to vmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnman Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Best way is installing it to vmware.Even without graphics supports it still lags far less than using VMware. Though I have a different ideapad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakara Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's not that difficult to install OS X in y500. In my y510p it's running flawless without any probs.its because y510 have igp and can be used to run the installer, the y500 doesnt have the disable nvidia card in the bios menu,the osx installer just freeze and restart the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intruder Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 its because y510 have igp and can be used to run the installer, the y500 doesnt have the disable nvidia card in the bios menu,the osx installer just freeze and restart the systemI didn't know about the IGPU problem. But there's still a chance to get it working. Atleast you should be able to install OS X. QE/CI is a diff matter of course. In Y510p, some progress has been made with using using the system in SLI mode. Of course, the SLI is not supported in OS X and no QE/CI yet, but you may have a look here.I don't have much idea about SLI, since i don't have one.If you need any help, create a thread in there and I and others will take a look. Hope you succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakara Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 i also try to install in another onboard compatible igp and swap the hdd but when back in y500 the same problem, fans spin ups and shut down before start, also keep triyng all variety of flags and kernel options but not lucky yet, in y500 even if you put out the ultrabay egpthe system only uses the 650m igp, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
