Install mac osx on lenovo s10-3?

Question

I want to install mac osx on my lenovo s10-3 and i have heard that it is quite doable. has anyone got a guide that they know works. (i have a legitimate osx snow leopard disk that i can make an ISO from)

thanks for any help

Answer 1

To install OSX on any computer with an Intel Core processor or newer is quite doable, although somewhat tricky and potentially illegal. The most pertinent thing is knowledge in your components. New distro's of OSX 10.7 work quite well. I agree with other answerers but specific answers for you may lie in more of a gray area. Start with some of the well known forums and go from there.

Answer 2

Lenovo S10 Hackintosh

Answer 3

www.osx86.com says the following:



Ideapad S10e



Used a 16GB USB flash drive for installation.

Formatted flash drive as Mac OS X Journaled Extended and at the same time copied contents of original Snow Leopard retail DVD to flash drive.

Also a must: after formatting device and copying contents, must install the latest S10 Enabler to ensure proper bootup for installing Snow Leopard.

When setting up installation, must have Enabler checked in the Customize area.

After that, installed the same latest S10 Enabler to Snow Leopard hard drive, then rebooted.

Then was able to safely update everything available in Software Update, including 10.6 directly to 10.6.2.

Ethernet doesn't work.

Wi-Fi works well.

Sound works well.

In System Preferences, under Security, must uncheck Use virtual system memory, or the system won't wake up from sleep mode.

Used application CamTwist as a workaround for getting Lenovo EasyCamera webcam to work, though it's initially out of sync with real-life movement.

Answer 4

Tony Mac X86 has a rather good run through of how it works. You need to create a login, but it works.



However, you do need an INTEL processor, and at least 2GB RAM to run 10.6.

Best of luck. Of note, I have been told that installing Mac OS onto non-Apple notebook computers can lead to initial decreased battery life. This will level off, and then the health will remain at that level. It's just a quirk.



Best of luck!
