Update 2019-05-02: For those of you who want to install macOS 10.14 on an unsupported Mac,check this post.

I have a MacBook Mid 2007 (more technically named MacBook2,1) that officially can not be upgraded beyond Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). It is however possible to install Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) on it with quite good success and not too much effort.

I want to first write what does not work:

1. Sleep mode – not working at all – leave on or shut down
2. The build-in web camera – “works” but not as it did in 10.7, I think
3. YouTube-video (etc), works occationally (now worse than in 10.7, my experience)

So, that’s all about Download Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.15 Original – All Versions. Therefore, all versions of Mac OS X are valid up to date and don’t contain any virus or problems. I hope this article was helpful for you while installing the New Mac OS. Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Requisitos para actualizar a OS X Mavericks Sistema operativo: OS X 10.6.8 o posterior.

I suggest you read the user comments to this post. A few helpful readers have shared their experiences.

What you need:

1. A USB Memory, 8GB or larger
2. Mac OS X Mavericks (i had the install/upgrade Application that I had myself
   downloaded on another Mac, from App Store, when I upgraded it from 10.8 to
   10.9. I always keep these for possible future use.)
3. SFOTT: I used version 1.4.4 which is currently the latest stable
4. Audio/Video-drivers from (not here anymore, se comments below).
   Warning, this is one of these horrible download pages where you don’t know
   where to click to get the right thing, and what gives you spyware. You
   should get the file mac-mini-mavericks.7z. Discard anything else without
   opening. The 7z-file can be opened with StuffitExpander, that already
   comes with Maverick

Making a bootable USB-drive
You first need to use SFOTT to create your bootable USB-drive (it is called “key” in SFOTT). You simply double-click on SFOTT on a Mac where you both have your Mavericks Install App and your USB-drive. SFOTT is a self guiding menu-driven application. It will take some time to make all the settings in SFOTT (it took me perhaps 15 minutes), but it was self-explanatory and not very difficult. Use the autorun mode to create the drive.

Recovery Scenario
When you install a Mac OS upgrade there is a risk your Mavericks system will not boot. When upgrading from 10.9.0 to 10.9.5 like I did, it will not boot. My impression (after reading different sources) is that this recovery is needed when upgrading from 10.9.0 (or 10.9.1 / 10.9.2) but not later. Nobody knows about 10.9.6 of course, because it is not out. Minor upgrades to applications or security upgrades should not cause need to recovery.

When Mavericks fails to start you need to “re-Patch” using SFOTT. I installed Mavericks on a separate partition, side-by-side with Lion, so when Mavericks failed to start my computer automatically started Lion instead and I could run SFOTT in Lion to re-Patch my Mavericks system.

If you can not do side-by-side you can start from your SFOTT-key (which you still have) and instead of installing Maverick you start the Terminal application. Find the SFOTT.app on the key, and find SFOTT.sh inside SFOTT.app. Run SFOTT.sh and you can re-Patch your broken Mavericks system. I did the entire procedure on my working Mavericks just to test it, and it seems fine.

There is if course no true guarantee that a future Apple upgrade will not break everything completely.

Installing Mavericks
Installation of Mavericks from the USB-drive is very standard. To start the computer from the USB-drive, hold down the “alt”-key (not Apple-key, not ctrl-key) while starting the computer. Choose SFOTT and proceed normally. After about an hour you should have a clean 10.9.0 Mavericks with network/wifi working. Video will work, but with problems (try Safari, and you will see), and Audio will not work.

Upgrade Mavericks
I used App Store to upgrade Mavericks to 10.9.5. That works just fine, until Mavericks fails to start (I ended up in my old Lion system on a reboot, if you have no other system installed your computer with probably just not start). This is where you need to recover your system using SFOTT.

Fixing Audio and Video
The 7z-file I referred to above contains Audio and Video drivers. You run the application “Kext Utility” and the you drag the contents of the folder Extensions into the Kext Utility, and it will install the drivers. There is a folder with “optional wifi drivers”, I have not installed those because wifi has been fine all the time for me.

The MacBook2,1 has Intel GMA950 Video, and there are no supported 64-bit-drivers for Mavericks. The drivers I suggest you to install are supposed to be drivers from a public beta of 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that Apple once released. They seem to work quite fine for me though. And not installing them is worse.

I suggest you upgrade to 10.9.5 before fixing Audio and Video. I guess a later Apple-upgrade could break Audio and Video and require you to reinstall drivers.

Problems booting the SFOTT key
I first created the SFOTT key using the SFOTT beta (that is also supposed to work with Yosemite), and I used System Preferences/Startup Disk (in Lion) to start the installion. This failed and my computer just started up in Lion.

I then created the SFOTT key using 1.4.4, AND i restarted the computer holding down the alt-key. This worked. This key also later worked when I used System Preferences/Startup Disk (in Mavericks) to choose startup drive.

Driver Problems
There are open source Audio drivers called VoodooHDA. I installed those ones with success, but audio volume was low. I tried to fix with no success. Later I found the drivers I referred to above and that I recommend.

I found another download for what was supposed to be the same Video Drivers. But the Kext-utility did not work, and I installed the drivers by copying them directly into /System/Library/Extensions and this gave me a broken unbootable system. I don’t know what went wrong, but I recommend the drivers I linked to.

Video/YouTube Performance
Some videos seem to play perfectly, others dont. I had problems with 10.7 too.

Background and about SFOTT
There are several Apple computers that can run 10.7, that have a 64-bit processor, but that can not officially run 10.8 or later. There are a few issues:

1. Video Drivers – and in the case of my MacBook2,1 the unofficial ones mentioned
   above may be good enough
2. 32 bit EFI. Even though the computer has a 64 bit processor, the EFI, the
   software that runs before the Installer/Operating system, is 32 bit, and not
   capable of starting a 64-bit system.
3. Mavericks does not believe it can run on this hardware.

As I understand it SFOTT installs a little program that 32 bit EFI is capable of starting, and that in turn is capable of staring a 64 bit system. Also, SFOTT patches a few files so Mavericks feels comfortable running on the unsupported hardware.

You can do all of this on your own without SFOTT. SFOTT “just” makes this reasonably easy.

There are plenty of forums, tools and information about running Mac OS X on unsupported hardware (also non-Apple-hardware: a Hackintosh). Those forums of course focus a lot on problems people have.

Yosemite
It is supposed to be possible to install Yosemite in a similar way. SFOTT has a beta release for Yosemite. For my purposes going to Mavericks gave me virtually all advantages of an upgrade (supported version of OS X, able to install latest Xcode, etc).

Conclusion
In the beginning of 2015, it is not that hard to install Mavericks on a MacBook Mid 2007, with a quite good result. I have pointed out the tools and downloads you need and that will work.

OS X Mavericks download is the 9th major release of the Mac OS X versions history. It was the most powerful operating system in 2013 for Macintosh computers. The OS X Mavericks download version 10.9.1 released in December 2013 after two months from releasing the OS X Mavericks original version. This update made a number of changes to the operating system and fixed out some issues on the previous version.

You can use two methods for installing the OS X Mavericks on your Mac PC

#1. Install the OS X Mavericks with Mac Apps Store

• First, you need to sign in to the Mac Apps Store using the Apple ID
• Then search for the OS X Mavericks using the search bar on the Apps store.
• After searching, you will get some links according to the search keyword. Select the appropriate link to download the Mavericks and click it. (You just need to sign in to the Mac Apps store for download the file)
• After download completed a window will pop up asking to install the Mavericks automatically.
• You are welcome to proceed with the process. But, before doing that you must need to keep a backup of your previous OS’ data and application. If you do not need any files or applications from previous one, it doesn’t matter, you do not need to keep a backup.

Otherwise, you can close the window which is popped up and create a Bootable USB installer to install the OS X Mavericks download by booting the Mac computer.

01. Clean Install the OS in startup drive

Here you are going to install the OS X Mavericks on existing hard drive which is keep the previous OS X Version. Please keep a backup of your files and data if you are going to use this method. Because the OS X will install on the drive that the previous OS X runs.

Clean install on an empty volume

This method is much easier than installing on the startup volume. Because you do not need to keep any backup. Empty volume means a volume which is not contained on it. You can use the normal installation process with a bootable installer for the OS X Mavericks with this installation method.
