At the time that Apple published that it had launched almost by surprise the OS X Mountain Lion, OSX Lion users who had a lot of problems with that operating system or who felt that I had always needed a twist they thought it was time to change the Lion. What was their surprise, when for issues of minimum requirements imposed by Apple in terms of hardware, they were excluded from a possible update to the new and renovated Mountain Lion. In this way, many computers that were running Lion could not have Mountain Lion installed.
If you are one of those users, you are in luck, because in this post we are going to introduce you to MLPostFactor, an application that lifts this impediment by allowing OSX Mountain Lion to be run on all Macs capable of running OSX Lion.
All users who were caught up to Apple's whim until now had only two possibilities, either to return to Snow Leopard or to stay in the hell of the Lion and its failures. MLPostFactor for its part, will allow us install the latest OS X 10.8.3 on unsupported Macs officially by Apple.
Until now, the daring users who dared to install the OSX Mountain Lion on an unsupported Macs, they had to follow long tutorials to do it, but thanks to MLPostFactor the process has been simplified to the extreme of a few clicks. To do this we will create a new partition in the system. Then we install MLPF on that partition and later the new OSX as we normally would. Finally we patch the MLPostFactor partition and after we reboot, the new OSX Mountain Lion will already be running on our unsupported Mac.
The list of supported Macs is as follows:
- MacBook beats 2006, 2007 and 2008
- MacBook Air, mid 2007
- MacBook Pro late 2007 and mid 2007
- iMac 2006
- Macs released between 2007 and 2008 with a Core 2 Duo processor.
- PowerPC, Core Duo, and Core Solo are not supported.
- Mac Mini 2006
- Mac Pro 2006, 2007
- Xserve 2006 and early 2008
The requirements that have been taken into account to make the above list is that if you can install OSX Lion, you can install OSX Mountain Lion in this way. It should also be noted that some older Mac Pro and Xserve had special graphics and are not well supported, so there may be some incompatibilities.
