**THIS POST IS OUTDATED PLEASE REFER TO THE SNOW LEOPARD GUIDE**

I’ve created this page to solve a lot of the common problems that people have had throughout the duration of this site.

To start, I’m going to write this using osx86tools created by pcwiz, you can download it here

http://pcwizcomputer.com/osx86tools/

It’s important to remember to check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks” in OSX86tools on a lot of these steps.

You Have No Wi-Fi: To get your wifi going run this patch broadcom patch and if that doesn’t work download this broadcom-script and open up terminal and type “sudo -s” without the quotes and drop the broadcom script into the terminal and press enter and go through the prompt. After this open up osx86tools and check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks”

You Have No Sound: To get sound download sound_fix and then open “osx86tools” and install both AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext and then check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks”

If this doesn’t work you can download this dailyblogged_fix which was posted over at http://www.dailyblogged.com/275/near-perfect-audio-with-latest-applehda/ To run it you have to open the AppleHDAPatcherv1.20 and drag the 1525_codec onto it. After this open osx86tools and check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks”

My Sleep Doesn’t Work: To get your sleep working download this sleep_fix (Made by Slice and the Voodoo team) and then open osx86tools and install both kexts and then check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks” and shutdown and boot with “-f” without the quotation marks.

My Shutdown Doesn’t Work: This is a problem when booting on battery power that I have yet to figure out. Two possible solutions that might work are as follow

You can open osx86tools and install OpenhaltRestart.kext made by Psystar.

Or you can try and follow the You Have No Sound part of this post and try both of them see if those fix it.

My Card Reader Doesn’t Work: To get your card reader working download IOPCIFamily.kext made by Slice and then open osx86tools and install the kext and then check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks” and shutdown and boot with “-f” without the quotation marks.

My Bluetooth Isn’t Recognized/Won’t turn off and on: To Get your bluetooth recognized and with the ability to turn it off and on. Download bluetooth_fix the IOBluetoothFamily.kext was modified by Zoharxero to get turn on/off capability and the applesmbios is by anV. To install open osx86tools and install the kexts and then check “Repair Permissions” “Set Extension Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache” and press “Run Selected Tasks” and shutdown and boot with “-f” without the quotation marks.

Please Post other Common Problems that should be addressed and I will do my best to get around to them.
