Hi there people! I’m having an issue with my MacOS Sierra installation. I’m having a MacBook Pro 2017. Every time I try to te-install the Os it fails. I hope someone has a solution for me.
Also, don't quote me on this tho, but I'm pretty sure that 2017 MBP's came with High Sierra from the factory, and not Sierra? Macs don't let you run operating systems older than what they came from the factory with. One thing you can do tho is to use this tool: https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS

MacOS Virtualization using VMware
I needed to install an unlocker from GitHub to enable options in the main screen.

[question] iPod Touch 3G stuck in recovery mode and unable to restore. Anyone knows what's wrong? I turned it off and on one day and now it's stuck on recovery mode and i can't restore it
Or a VM (Virtiual Machine here are examples: VirtualBox and VMware) to install older windows versions. Maybe even macOS,but for that you need a patcher.

I am trying to make a macOS 13 virtual machine by following the tutorial from techrechhard. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work.
So in other words, you did it wrong. First of all, avoid .VDMK's, you never know what's in them, use an .ISO. Preferably one created on a MAC. As for your choice of VM, VirtualBox is total shit for running MAC on, use VMware instead. You'll need to install it, then run the unlocker tool found here: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker After that is done, create your virtual machine, but before booting, edit the .VMX file by adding the following lines at the bottom:
- MacOS in VMware?
- MacOS on VMware Workstation without Unlocker?

Is unlocked 3.0.4 from Paolo projects safe?
I au install macOS in VMware. I am following tutorial from makeusof and it says me to install the VMware patch tool from this website. Is the unlocked from this person safe?

Best VM for running macOS
For me, Vmware Player ran the smoothest. For this you need the following, because virtualization of MacOS on non-MacOs devices is not supported by Vmware: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker.
- Battletech Pod Version 3.0 Server Software Archive

macOS Big Sur or macOS Monterey on AMD laptop?
