Type: Mac OS X; Version: Mac OS X (64-bit) Pay attention when selecting the version because you may find that High Sierra is offered as a version when you go to install it. But if it’s not, you can just choose the settings I listed above and they should work fine. Install OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox. Due to the high usage of this guide and the lack of comfort in Gist's commenting area, I decided to make a blog post out of this which you can find here.

Redesigned interface. Completely new. Completely Mac.
With OS X Yosemite, we set out to elevate the experience of using a Mac. To do that, we looked at the entire system and refined it app by app. Feature by feature. Pixel by pixel. And we built great new capabilities into the interface that put need-to-know information at your fingertips. The result is that your Mac has a fresh new look, with all the power and simplicity you know and love.
Mac and iOS are connected like never before.
Use a Mac or an iOS device, and you can do incredible things. Use them together, and you can do so much more. Because now OS X and iOS 8 enable brilliant new features that feel magical and yet make perfect sense. Make and receive phone calls without picking up your iPhone. Start an email, edit a document, or surf the web on one device and pick up where you left off on another. Even activate your iPhone hotspot without ever taking your iPhone from your pocket or bag.
Do everyday things in extraordinary ways.
One of the best things about a Mac is that it comes loaded with state-of-the-art, beautifully designed apps you’ll love to use every day. In OS X Yosemite, those apps give you new ways to do some of the things you do most. The apps you use to surf the web, read your mail, send messages, and organize your files and content have a simpler, more elegant look, and we’ve enhanced them with powerful new features.

Install and run OS X Yosemite in Virtualbox on your Windows
There are so many articles in the Internet (type
Mac OS X virtual machine
to Google or your favorite search site to get thousands of them) about running OS X on PC in VirtualBox, that writing another one is just a pure stupidity. Instead, this article includes only a quick check-list to extract essential information from these articles and leave all unnecessary garbage blah-blah behind.This post is a short version of this article. Refer to it for all details, explanations, solutions for a possible problems and things like that. This guide assume, that you’re installing OS X inside a virtual machine only for one purpose — sending your iOS apps to iTunes through ApplicationLoader program. For this reason, certain parts of original guide are skipped. If you intend to use OS X for other purposes, you may need to enhance your knowledge, by reading missing parts from other sources.

Prepare VirtualBox and virtual machine
1. Download VirtualBox (106 MB) and VirtualBox Extension Pack (15.2 MB). Do not rename downloaded file to anything else! Keep it named
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.28-100309.vbox-extpack
or whatever you’ve got, or else you won’t be able to run it (stupid, like a hell, I know!).2. Go to Hackintosh Zone and look for
Yosemite 10.10.1 ISO.zip
or something around. Always pick ISO edition as DMG editions are not suitable! Download a .torrent file and use it in your BitTorrent client to get actual ISO image (5.1 GB).3. Install VirtualBox, then click downloaded
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.28-100309.vbox-extpack
to install VirtualBox Extension Pack.4. Create new virtual machine. Click
New
. Select Mac OS X
and Mac OS X (64-bit)
. Don’t pick any specific edition, just the general. Give it some name. Click Next
and select memory size. VirtualBox recommends 2048 MB, while all Hackintosh geeks prefers 4096 MB. Pick whatever.Install Mac Os On Virtualbox
4. Click
Next
and create a virtual hard drive. Select all defaults: VDI
format, dynamically expanding drive, suggested 20 GB size (see below). Change location of your .vdi
, if default (C:Users[username]VirtualBox VMs[virtual machine name]
) does not suit you. Finish creation wizard.6. Select virtual machine and click
Settings
. Go to System
section and uncheck Enable EFI
. Then go to Storage
section, select CD labelled Empty
, click CD icon next to SATA Port 1
, select Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file...
install Yosemite-Zone.iso
image file.20 GB of virtual hard drive is enough, if you just want to play with OS X and keep it in version, you’ll get from Hackintosh Zone. Note, that pure OS X installation consume about 16-18 GB itself. If you plan to install some hard toys like xCode (which itself consumes around 6 GB) or plan to update system to newest version (not tested, if possible on hacked version of OS X!), for which you’ll need 9 GB extra at start, then you may consider creating 30 GB or even 40 GB virtual hard drive in the very beginning.
Install OS X on your virtual machine
1. Start virtual machine. It should auto boot and follow you to language selection screen. In case of any problems, refer to mentioned article, to “Step 4: Install OS X Yosemite” section, for a possible solution.
2. Continue OS X installation wizard until you reach “Install OS X” screen with “Yosemite Zone” drive icon. Format virtual hard drive. Select
Utilities
>Disk utility...
from OS X installer menu, select VBOX HARDRIVE
, go to Erase
section, name disk, click Erase...
and confirm.3. Select just formatted and named disk and click
Customize
. Unfold components tree and Graphics
section. Uncheck GraphicsEnabler=Yes
in it. Then unfold Drivers
section. Uncheck Install Audio Drivers (Kexts)
and Install Network Drivers (Kexts)
. Click Accept
.4. Click
Continue
and go for a lunch. OS X installation takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.Note, that since you’re installing an OS X on virtual machine, a “minute” in OS X installer does not always mean real “minute”. In my case, installer hanged for about 15 minutes on “13 minutes remaining”. I was installing OS X on virtual machine placed on my pendrive, so carefully observing its icon told me, that installer hasn’t hanged in fact, but was “doing something” (veeeery slow, though).
In case, it hangs…
A very often behavior during above procedure is, that installation hangs at “2 minutes remaining…”. If this happens to you, then:
1. Stop virtual machine and click
Settings
. Go to Storage
section and use CD icon to unload Yosemite-Zone.iso
file from virtual CD/DVD.2. Restart virtual machine. Select
hd(0,2) <yourpartitionname>
with arrows, but don’t hit Enter yet. Using keyboard, type: -s -v -x
at boot:
promot. Now, hit Enter to confirm.3. Wait until OS X loads and show you bash prompt. Mount root device by executing
/sbin/fsck -fy
command.4. When above command execution is finished, execute
/sbin/mount -uw /
command and wait for the results.5. Move to the
/.OSInstallSandboxPath/Scripts/
directory (cd /.OSInstallSandboxPath/Scripts/
) and list its contents (ls
).6. Find subfolder named
Hackintosh.Zone.Post-Script.xxxxxx
, where xxxxxx
part will be specific to your installation and go into it (the easiest way is to use Tab after each part, i.e. write cd Hack
+ Tab, Zo
+ Tab, Post-
+ Tab + Enter).7. Execute
./postinstall
.8. Wait until above command finishes, execute
exit
and continue with “Configure OS X” section.Download Mac Os Iso
Note, that this is plen’s solution to above problem, which worked for me. If it doesn’t work for you (as reported by many users), then try to follow with Guest’s solution or read other comments to mentioned article.
In case, it does not hang…
1. If you haven’t done this yet, stop virtual machine and click
Settings
. Go to Storage
section and use CD icon to unload Yosemite-Zone.iso
file from virtual CD/DVD. Then restart virtual machine.2. Restart virtual machine and wait until OS X boot screen appears. If it does, click icon corresponding to drive, where you installed OS X. Wait another 15 minutes or so for Yosemite Zone to run OS X for the first time.
Configure OS X
1. When you see Mac OS X setup screen, fill it out, providing all the necessary data. You may try to login with or register new AppleID, but in most cases your network connection will be unusable (see below).
2. Create an account for you. You have to do this quickly, because this screen, for some strange reason, like to disappear. If it does, or if you haven’t seen it at all and jumped straight to login screen, then login as
root
/ niresh
. Note, that if you’re logging during first run of your OS X, it may take some time until you get to desktop. It may also occasionally hang on login proces. In this case, simply restart virtual machine.3. After login there will be a short time, during which Hackintosh Zone installer will be configuring your OS X and finishing all installation tasks. Don’t restart or power down machine during that time. Wait until you see notification confirming, that installation is done and your OS X is optimized.
4. Open
System Preferences
app, go to Users & Groups
(bottom-left icon), and create your own account. Don’t use the root account permanently!5. If you don’t have access to Internet inside OS X, then go to virtual machine settings,
Network
section and try to change value in Adapter Type
to something else. This should fix the problem. If not, pray.6. After installation OS X may stuck on 1280×1024 resolution. It was fine and dandy for me. If it isn’t for you, then refer to mentioned article, to “Step 6: Make the screen bigger” section for a solution.
That should be all and you should be able to use brand new, shiny OS X Yosemite on your VirtualBox. The only glitch, I’ve found so far, fortunately tiny one, is that there is no auto-boot option set and you need to hit enter during each boot of your virtual OS X.
Last words
1. If ever asked for administrator credentials, use always
root
and niresh

2. Even valid OS X close does not closes your virtual machine. You must always shut down it manually.
We did it! :> We have an OS X running on PC. It is wrong, what we have just did, because it is illegal. If you did it (like I did) just to have xCode and Application Loader and be able to submit your iOS apps to iTunes, then fine. But, if you’re using OS X for anything more, then treat this just as demo or toy. Support Apple and creators of this wonderful system, by purchasing real Mac!
