Sadly if you want a Mac, buy one, stuff it at purchase with all the possible upgrades as that is the only opportunity you will have, to upgrade your mac. I do not like how Apple is completely removing the user's ability to add system ram, a non apple SSD, swap CPUs or customize Mac Systems. I do not like being forced to buy apple hardware, nor being unable to install OS X (full working install) on essentially the same hardware Apple sells. I have several Genuine Macs and really enjoy the stability of OS X on these systems. I am suspending Hackintosh work until a fix appears for the myriad of problems. I suspect booting with Intel Graphics and installation of the Nvidia web driver, then and only then installing Geforce 980 might work but Time is Money! Have a GA Geforce 980 w/4GB video ram and couldn't get install to boot with Geforce card installed. Update - Using new HDCP compliant monitor on GA Z97 Haswell i7-4790k & Mac OS X Yosemite with onboard Intel Graphics.

I had everything working except iMessages and iTunes Protected video content.

I will be re-approaching my Haswell GA Z97 Mackintosh and report back if the NEW HDCP monitor did the trick. The SandyBridge system above had a monitor that had a HDCP compliant DVI interface.įood for thought. Apparently your computer, monitor and connecting cable have to support HDCP compliance or pass through to enable handshaking between the CPU and the Monitor. I connect two computers via a Gefen DVI Switch supporting KVM and audio with HDCP Pass Through. I purchased a new HDCP compliant monitor and the Mini now plays HD video content. I discovered that my monitor was NOT HDCP compliant and is at least part of the problem. I Purchased a 2012 Quad core i7 Mac Mini and it would not play HD video content. I built Haswell system on a GA Z97 board using a different monitor and iTunes 12 (64Bit) would not play purchased TV or movies. Built SandyBridge i7 2600K on GA H67A and iTunes 12 (64bit) worked playing purchased TV and Movies on my wife's desktop computer. Something to check - HDCP Compliant Hardware.
