Hackintosh, What is Hackintosh? Using hackintosh?


What is Hackintosh?
Basically, the Hackintosh is to make operating system made ​​by Apple, working on computers (Desktop, Laptop and Netbook) that are not manufactured by Apple. That is running the operating system facilities that are not Apple-branded.

Is hackintosh legal ?
Let's see the "SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MAC OS X".
Single Use, Family Pack and Leopard Upgrade Licenses for use on Apple-branded Systems

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you have purchased a Family Pack or Upgrade license for the Apple Software, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.


We can make a backup of Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail ?
Yes, we can. Let's see the "SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MAC OS X".
Single Use, Family Pack and Leopard Upgrade Licenses for use on Apple-branded Systems
F. You may make one copy of the Apple Software (excluding the Boot ROM code and other Apple firmware that is embedded or otherwise contained in Apple- branded hardware) in machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the original. Apple Boot ROM code and firmware is provided only for use on Apple-branded hardware and you may not copy, modify or redistribute the Apple Boot ROM code or firmware, or any portions thereof.

One important note. We only have acquired the software, is not our. Only rented the Apple software. It is true and there are other companies doing the same thing, which is Sony Playstation.

What is needed to use/make/work with hackintosh ?

  1. A computer whit a Intel Processor. AMD is not compatible. Unless you use a hacked kernel. The google is our friend (sometimes).
  2. Original Retail Mac OS X (Please don't use pirate). An original version gives less trouble in the updates and installations. If you use a version of a team, always have to update with the update version of that team. Due to the changed files for it, such as kernel.
  3. Boot loader emulator CD. Use Iboot plus MultiBeast
  4. Patience and humility. Because not all hardware is compatible. And you can not run well the first time. It is a more try error.
Now I will not explain how to proceed with the installation. I'll explain in the following post.

The level of the question of illegality. I'm not using a copy but an original. So I'm not stealing anything Apple. And that's how everyone should do. Because it's a reasonably cheap price compared to the various versions of Microsoft operating systems.
 
Buy the original and do not use any copy.
