The 2014 Mac Mini is no longer supported in the latest version of MacOS. However, thanks to Open Core Legacy Patcher (OCLP) we can install it. Let's take a look at a 2014 Mac Mini with Ventura!

Some things work great and some things not so much. Have you upgraded yours yet? If so, how's it working for you?

Just installed a 2 Tb SSD in my (16 Gb) non-fusion drive 2014 MacMini and also did the Open Core Legacy Patcher install of Ventura. I'm a happy camper indeed. Prior to this--with the spinning drive--the CPU would max out at around 80% idle. Now when it's working it can put the CPU at 0% idle but mostly 40-ish % when working hard--MUCH more throughput through the system. My only hickup is that there is no Post-Install root patch application visible in Fiinder. I'll leave good enough alone as it seems solid, boots fast, and is responsive. AND I can use the Ventura feature of combining two 'family' photo libraries on this machine now--sort of my server for photos and music. THANK YOU for what you research and present--well organized and logically presented.

I no longer have a mini, but I installed Ventura on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13 and everything works fine except the same issues that you described on your 2014 mini.

@Eevnos Жыл бұрын

Try it with an updated version of the legacy patcher and install 13.1 (just do the normal upgrade through the app store). It works much better now. At least it does on the 2012 MBP, haven't tried it on the mini yet.

Thank you for the awesome guide. I bought an Mac Mini 2014 cheaper and update to Ventura. Do you know how to patch the display to be properly recognized as 4k hdr display. I can''t see hdr settings and don't have scale options when I tried to switch to 4k resolution.

what about Apple Motion? i use FCP intensely and it doesnt even open on my current OS (12.73 Monterrey) but i think i want to take that plunge into doing the Opencore. i want to utilize Motion more into my edits as well.

upgraded the exact same mac mini, most things worked except for memoji no longer worked on the login screen nor was editing memoji possible, the weather app crashes if you tried to scroll down, and there was problems if you try to delete files from eternal drives for some reason. lastly my bootcamp didnt work anymore, I could see it on the selection screen but when selected it just booted to macos regardless. all in all ventura is 99% the same as monterey so I just went back

Mac Minis from 2014 are cheap, because support run out. My plan is to get one and upgrade it with OpenCore Legacy Patcher and then use it as a build server to build and publish Android and iOS apps, so I need to use bleeding edge gradle tools as well as Xcode. Will this work or will I face problems?

I swear when I checked a few weeks ago, this mac was listed as supported. It's been changed. Similarly, looking at Ventura in the App Store, it says "Works on this Mac mini". Very annoying

Many thanks for this, very helpful and insightful. Does the egpu work after the upgrade to ventura? I use sonnet box and followed the exact steps in one of your earlier videos and it works great on monterey, but not sure if it will function properly under ventura. Any thoughts?

@norskradiofabrikk Жыл бұрын

Short answer - no. The eGPU team is rumoured to be working on patches, but video over Thunderbolt 2 is AFAIK deprecated and poses a major problem. The eGPU cards ARE recognised, but the drivers do not load. So you have this weird situation where you get a warning when you unplug it, that your eGPU should be switched off in software before unplugging, but doesn't actually have a video driver installed.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but using my iPad m1 as a external monitor doesn’t work properly on my MacBook Pro 16 inch m1. It connects then freezes for a while. I could be wrong but this might just be a general bug that apple could fix

I tried to install Ventura with OpenCore on my Mac mini server 2012 which has 2 SSDs, but it didn't finish successfully. It hung in the middle of the installation where it is supposed to reboot several times. I am wondering if this is because of the 2 SSDs.. I am thinking about disconnecting one of the SSDs and try it again..

@marik_hadare 11 ай бұрын

Did taking out one of SSDs fix the problem? I also have 2 drives and I don't want to break the mac..

My 2014 Mac mini runs Monterey just fine. Not giving me an option to upgrade to Ventura. I have the 8gb, 1 TB 5400!!!!???? hard drive. Imagine that. Apple is peak of innovation and yet they used 5400 rpm hard drives. 7200 rpm was the norm. SSD's were just starting to put on higher end laptops.
