Using this still imposes certain limitations, but at least makes it possible to install macOS High Sierra on the following Macs: A developer known as DOSDude1 has written a patch that works on Macs with the Penryn architecture. Though Apple doesn't support the above hardware officially, someone has thought about sharing the love for these older machines.

How To Install macOS High Sierra on Unsupported Macs Obsolete products are those discontinued more than seven years ago. The company defines vintage products as those that have not been manufactured for more than five years but less than seven years ago. These machines are considered obsolete and vintage by Apple.

One on one.While the yearly major macOS update system is free to install, it is still limited to Macs that Apple deems compatible, and every year a generation of Macs essentially becomes obsolete. AirPlay works with a native resolution that it can support from start to finish by the compounded effect of all it's parts.

Yet the internal resolution is also MAX 1080p which is why it did show the menu-bar icon on a 21,5" iMac, but not mine the 27" 2560 x 1440 MAX resolution (out of bounds of 1080p) natively to stream.īecause I just use Quicktime to stream certain content, your desktop will not since the content is on top of it, and thus is a much higher resolution to stream than your HDMI or AppleTV version can handle. The 21,5" has the same WiFi and Bluetooth specs as the 27", so it's capped by native resolution, not by actual display resolution set by the user agent. mov format, open them with Quicktime, stream them to your device, and see if my science sticks or makes you sick about Apple's practices, too.

So in short you can download a 1080p video clip, and a 2k video clip in.

Simply click the "share" icon in Quicktime when you're playing a movie, and you'll see that you can actually stream to your AppleTV if the resolution of the movie can actually fit on it. But it does detect AirPlay in Quicktime and other apps that use it's functionality natively. But Apple capped the 27" probably because that way you "need" a better device.Īirplay also doesn't show in the menu-bar, and I'm on an iMac 27" that has a resolution of 2560x1440. You change your monitor's resolution in the display settings right? Try that and match the resolution to your streaming devices and monitor's MAX resolution.īut I tried it and it doesn't yield the result you want to stream your desktop.įunny enough it does work on a 21,5" iMac 2011 or 2010 they both have a native-resolution of 1080p and will stream without problems. Done.īut it will not mirror my desktop to my TV, since it uses a higher resolution that the AppleTV or the TV itself will support. So my iMac 2010 can stream to a device, but only up to 1080p, which my TV will support since the Apple TV reaches it's MAX, and the TV too. These can only process certain bandwiths and speeds, like the wifi modules only pick up 2,5ghz, and use 300MB (I believe), not the 1200MB on 5ghz. If you see the obvious "out of bounds resolution" in either of these devices, this is why it can not make that bridge to steam the resolution to begin with. I have HDMI 1.0, and an Apple TV (2) that supports up to 1080p.Ĭheck what kind of resolution your monitor support, check the version of your HDMI cable, and check the resolution of your Mac's monitor. The point of HDMI versions is often overlooked, but describes the MAX-output your monitor can support. 1.0 can go up to 1080p, 1.1 can stream up to much higher, and I believe you need a HDMI 1.2 capable device to display 4k and such. The second factor that goes into play here is HDMI 1.0, 1.1 & 1.2 which are just versions. I have some insights on this subject I want to share, because many don't realize that older Macbooks and iMacs have alder bluetooth and wifi modules.
