Frequently Asked Questions


Can I use my Nvidia RTX card in macOS?

No, check the Supported GPUs list.
Apple left Nvidia a decade ago, so no workaround to it.


My macOS VM went into sleep mode, how can I wake it?

Sleep isn't currently working through Proxmox, we've included an App called KeepingYouAwake in the Tools folder.


How can I make Host/Proxmox shut down when I shut down macOS?

Alternative one - Shut down macOS, when it's done, press, don't hold, the power button on your machine.
Alaternative two - Just press the power button to perform a safe shut down of both your VM(s) and Proxmox.


Can I use my iGPU?

Yes, sort of.
But we can't really help you get it working due to various factors. Through Proxmox you won't get any direct output to your display, you'd have to access you macOS instance through VNC or other remote desktop alternatives.


Can I use my macOS headless?

Yes.
If you've passed through a supported GPU, make sure to have a HDMI or DisplayPort dummy plugged into your GPU to keep it accelerated.


Can I sign into my iCloud?

Yes.
Just make sure you've regenerated your own SMBIOS and that the VM has it's network driver set to VirtIO. NVRAM reset might be necessary after.


How can I disable verbose mode?

  • Open your config.plist file in the EFI partition.
    • NVRAM -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82
      • Remove the -v from the boot-args, save and reboot.

Sonoma gives me this; Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged.

It's a macOS Sonoma issue, nothing we can solve as for now.
Install Monterey or Ventura instead.

Yes.
We're only supporting Hackintosh installs through Proxmox - the New-Way.
