There are similar problems with GPU on 15 inch early 2011 MBPs with discrete Radeon GPU.

Do not show SIP detection window if mac is not compatible.

Title says all, it would be useful to be able to choose which graphics mode is fixed.

Many thanks

The update of the MBP erases the modification to AppleGraphicsPowerManagement .
Find a way to detect the update of the mac and suggest update to user.

The application doesn't even start.
It is complaining about compability with the OS.

This is the error:

Hi.

I Have a question about the operating system. Does it work for any OS X version? I Had Sierra and I return to Maverick version thinking it was the problem but it wasn't.

I've run this program and all work perfectly, so I ask myself if I update to some later version and run this program again, will it work?

Please, Help. Thanks.

For easier development, a warning pop-up was disabled.
It has not been re-enabled for release :

        //int answer = QMessageBox::question(this, "Warning", "This will patch the kernel configuration file.\nAre you sure you want to procede ?", QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No);

        //if (answer == QMessageBox::Yes)
        if(1)

Hello. I have this issue AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext not found when update sierra os 10.12.5

Check on GitHub repo if there is any new release of the application.
Here's a list of auto update tools :

• https://github.com/Skycoder42/QtAutoUpdater

To simplify issue resolving, add OS version to log.

Multiple crashes during reboot, stand-by and normal working session. Looks like the fix is not effective on OSX High Sierra. The kernel panic during reboot happens with OSX El Capitan too (SIP Disabled, system patched with MBPMid2010_GPUFix 5.0 before and then 6.0). Any solution?

It has happened plenty of times in the past two weeks, as soon as I put my MBP in sleep mode it crashes due to a kernel panic(same error log as one prior to the fix)..

have experienced no crashes while the MB is awake

macOS Sierra, MacBook Pro 2010

Hello,
How does one 'install' this fix? Maybe I am not seeing the instructions?
Thanks for putting this out here.
Pete

I had to disable kext signing on Yosemite. It didn't load modified Kext otherwise.

to do it, execute:

sudo nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1

Cannot find a good solution for mid-2012 MBP ... ;-( ;-( ;-(
Try gfxCardStatus (even with the updated version for Sierra) but some applications will still trigger the GPU usage...

Hey julian thank you for this patch, but when i try to patch my MBP, its failed.I'm on yosemite and use the latest patch v0.6.0. Ive try to clear /tmp/ too but the patch still fail. Could you help me?

My password is being rejected when I run the MBPmid2010 fix but I can log in with it on the website without problems. What can I do? Please help, urgent.

Add detection to see if file was patched correctly and avoid loading when patching failed

Will contribute to pay the website hosting for futur application updates.

Following fabioroberto comments add the following changes to void patchKernelExtensionFile(QFile* kernelFile); function :

• Modify LogControl value from 0 to 1
• Modify IdleInterval value from 100 to 10
• Delete P3HistoryLenght setting
• Modify SensorSampleRate from 10 to 10.000

Hi Julian;
First of all thanks for your effort about this program.
I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15”, and the problem started after I upgraded to sierra.
It unexpectedly shuts down.
I also upgraded to high sierra always the same problem.
Than I found your program but the patch button was always greyed out.
Now I went back to El Capitan. My computer still shuts down and your patch is still greyed out.

Although I get this message;

" | Checking compatibility
MBPModelVersion : MacBookPro6,2 ➔ Compatibility : OK ✓
| Checking SIP Status
SIP Enabled “

I can not patch.
Can u please help.
Thanks
Regards

Julian,

Thank you very much for sharing this. Like many, I've been suffering the crashes resulting from a bad GPU in my system. I found this solution today while googling further after three crashes interrupting my productivity -- my source: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/gpu-kernel-panic-in-mid-2010-whats-the-best-fix.1890097/#post-23312990

I backed up the original kext and ran MBPMid2010-GPU-Fix, version 0.3.0.

To my surprise it complains that System Integrity Protection is on -- I'm almost sure this is a feature of newer versions of the operating system, not present on Mavericks.

Could this be an edge case failure? Could you please help me diagnose this further?

Thanks again for your efforts. I'm eager to test this out and available to diagnose further.
Regards.

Now that the application is correctly working, do refactoring on code to facilitate maintenance.

Dear Julian,
I tryed to install your app for the first time (I used the latest version you uploaded) on my Macbook pro Mid 2010 with Yosemite 10.10.5,
I thought it went well so, reading others discussions, I tryed to test it with cinebench, unfortunately the mac crashed even before I ran it. After it restart this was the kernel panic message.
I hope you can help me
thank you!

Following this news (in french) : https://www.macg.co/os-x/2017/06/macos-high-sierra-va-bloquer-par-defaut-les-fichiers-kext-98876

Update FAQ or README to inform users of this new limitation and the way of overriding it.

Application UI is basic. Modify stylesheet to add a nicer look to the app

At the right bottom next to GitHub button.

I downloaded the dmg v0.50 and screen shutting off. Eventually error screen then restart. Is there anyway to check the kext file to verify change. Also, how would I compile the code on your site? I only have gnumake and make but it returns the message nothing to do. Thanks for your wisdom in addressing this annoying problem on a great old machine.

Hello,

Does this patch work on a MBPMid2010 running Sierra 10.12.6 ?

I run the patch and my MBP still crashes.

Also, when I click on "Patch MBP", a password prompt show. Do I need one in order for this patch to work? Thank you!

And finally, should I use this on El Capitan only (and not upgrade to Sierra).

Thank you (frustrated MBP user here!!!!)

Hello from México Julian.

Ive been trying to find a solution to this problem since years ago!

Im excited your software does work in most computers, but it won't work on mine.

After running your program, even twice, it seems its not working. Computer crashes as usual (Example: Opening league of legends)

And I can't upgrade to High Sierra (Will crash). Ive been using this program named "gfxcardstatus v 2.3" - which let you choose which video card to use. (Integrated only, discrete only, dynamic switching). So for the computer not to crash I select "integrated only" option. But that won't let the Installation continue. If i switch to "Discrete" or "Dynamic" it will automatically crash.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Ill invite you not 1, but 6 beers!

Hope you can help me out.

Thanks for the support.

This is the message after running your program:

Replace existing by real mac password prompt window.

See how it is done by Skycoder42 on QtAutoUpdater package

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 17" and I get the error "Sorry your Mac is not compatible. The application will close."

I have the same graphics problem which makes my computer crash constantly, even with gfxCardStatus. It won't even start up at times and gets stuck in a reboot loop. Terrible!

Hello,

I have the same problem as another user of your patch. I already fixed it when I was on the same version of OS X. But with the update, my laptop continue to shut down without any reasons. I already try to re-install OS X, but even after patching successfully, it shut down again.

What can I do ? Thank you !!

Any idea that how to do that this work with external monitor ?

Maybe in an About menu.

Hi,

I just installed your app and run it.
But I can not press button - this is disabled.

Please check the screenshot.

Maybe I understand something wrong, but i think also is like that

• you can use app to disable SIP
• you can disable SIP manually
• after any app installed on your mac - you need disable SIP again
  Manually disable it every time after install new app - sounds insane
  SO I would better do it with app, but app doesn't allow me to do it.

Could you please consult me if I understood all that right.

Thanks.
