If you decide to use APFS, a custom booting method will be installed by the post-install tool, as the firmware of these unsupported machines does not natively support booting from APFS volumes. If you use APFS, you will not have a bootable Recovery partition. If you have a machine that did NOT natively support High Sierra (and therefore cannot boot APFS volumes natively), please note the following:.Using APFS on Late-2009 and later machines will work no differently than it did with High Sierra.If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences.

If you have NOT previously installed High Sierra, you can download and install this package to install the latest BootROM version.

While it works and is fully usable, Mojave detects it as just a standard mouse, preventing you from changing some trackpad-oriented settings. The trackpad in the MacBook5,2 isn't fully supported in Mojave. It seems to be hit or miss, but when installing, expect your iSight camera to be non-functional. Built-in iSight cameras: Currently, built-in iSight cameras do not work correctly on some machines.To disable the AMD GPU on a 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 or 8,3, follow the guide found here. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an iMac.) Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled.

If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD GPU (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. This includes the 15' and 17' MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). Mojave will be almost UNUSABLE without graphics acceleration.
