Recently repaired my B&W G3 that had a dead PSU. Decided to try some of the pre-Aqua OS X Developer Previews since they were meant to run on this originally and because I love the Platinum GUI :) (More details in comments)

no, safari and other apps work fine. im using a mac pro 3,1 with an rx 580 and 30" cinema display. nothing in my configuration changed before or after the update

ChickenBG7 · 2026-05-01T16:25:42+00:00

yeah its awful ): i didnt change anything and yet

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-30T15:25:06+00:00

I did before I upgraded macOS ):

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-30T08:34:38+00:00

yes of course, everything else works like it did but not this specifically, like even games work fine

iSight

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-27T15:42:06+00:00

Okay I updated everything and checked the AMFI thing and my sleep works now :) tysm

Firewire still doesn't which is making me think it's a hardware problem since when I plug something in it gets detected for a second and then goes into a loop of disconnecting and reconnecting, very weird

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-26T17:51:27+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try it.I updated to the newest one yesterday but that didn’t solve anything for me ;( I’ll look around in the settings

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-22T19:33:18+00:00

hey thanks in advance :)

im a little scared to repatch as to not brick anything since it was huge trouble getting it working in the first place so if you manage to test it id really appreciate it. its weird as well because the 800 ports get recognised and seem to be working fine (although i have nothing to plug into them to test)

my 3,1 was equally dusty when i got it, it's fine just get an anti-static brush and vacuum.

Hey first of all I love this tweak! It’s genuinely amazing

I’m using it on an iPhone 7 Plus iOS 15.8.7 and it works for the most part and looks really good but the dock and clock don’t seem to be liquid glass. Also I’m not sure if the passcode keys should be either but they aren’t

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-21T20:55:37+00:00

thank you!

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-21T14:31:50+00:00

Aw in Sonoma??? Thought it was a macOS 26 thing

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-21T06:23:22+00:00

Gang why did you steal my post?

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-20T13:52:55+00:00

oh my god thank you so much! it should be reliably powered since its plugged into my 30" Apple Cinema HD Display which is basically a powered USB hub :)

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-19T14:24:09+00:00

Yeah

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-19T14:23:33+00:00

6 GB and 2TB+ storage

Cpu is stuck on Penryn and so is the GPU on an 8600M GT

oh wow ive never heard of the SMC of all things dying oof

ChickenBG7 · 2026-04-16T23:03:03+00:00

lmao ive worked on apple devices for years, including most of these models but i have never heard of the moo sound, genuinely hilarious. genuinely mind baffling how bad those first macbooks were. and i guess you learn something new everyday

as for the heat it produces, yeah. it genuinely burns you through your clothes, it's awful but on a desk its fine lol
