Asus 1005HA 1005HAB netbook Windows 10 upgrade. There was only 1 issue with the ACPI driver. Build and Design The Eee PC HA is a lower-cost version of the HA Seashell and features a similar clamshell chassis design but is a little thicker and comes with a removable battery. Asus 1005hab computer for small tasks, and browsing the internet.
So I bought a new Asus 1005hab at Best Buy Last week for $319. I know you can find them cheaper online, I have seen them for $225. I bought mine at best buy because I had a gift card and a 10% off coupon. So all I paid out of my pocket was $35. Well lets begin shall we.
Installed this on my netbook in a couple of hours, Just follow this guide and pay attention to what you are doing, and you will be fine. Thank you for the guide. I found one kind of like yours but yours seems more in depth. Followed it eveything works with 10.6.4. I couldn't get the hotkeys to work.
But truly not a big deal. Have you updated to 10.6.5 yet? I tried before and my trackpad and keyboard wouldn't work but wifi would and vice versa. So I restored to 10.6.4 using your guide. The wifi only works on WEP and WPA. Could see it on WPA-2 but would not connect. That's stock wifi btw.
Also love that I can plug in my iPhone and it syncs, Saved me about 2 grand. Bought the ASUS eee pc 1005HAB on newegg for 200 plus the 2 gig stick for 250. Also, any thought in dual boot?
With Windows? I've done it before with my Dell hackintosh, can remember what exactly program but it worked.

Here is my guide to dual booting. Everything works, Only problem is need a bigger hard drive.:/ I actually updated to 10.6.5 than re-installed SL than just did to 10.6.4. Trackpad and keyboard wouldn't work or the battery and wifi wouldn't work. I also have the 2 gig stick installed. Last edited by eightydee; 2010-12-06 at 04:09 PM.

I also have the 2 gig stick installed./QUOTE Try reinstalling the kexts using kexthelper, just make sure you run pfix afterwards. Also you shouldn't have to edit the DSDT file to get you battery meter working since you have 2GB of RAM. Thats strange that your having those problems. Are you using the ASUS 1005HA or 1005HAB? I have the 1005HAB and everything worked on mine right away.
I am using the stock Wifi Card too, the only thing that doesn't work with Wifi is that it wont connect if you are using WPA, it only works with WEP. I want to find a fix for the Hot Keys too. Mine work for volume and screen brightness, but if the computer goes to sleep, once you wake it up the hotkeys no longer work until you reboot.
Sure thing OS X 10.6.5 Combo Upgrade Guide This is a guide to update OS X Snow Leopard to 10.6.5 Thing's you will need to upgrade. CoopDaVille Kit ( ) Apple 10.6.5 Combo Update ( ) 10.6.5 Mach Kernel ( ) We need to back up 3 files. AppleIntelGMA950.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext IO80211Family.kext Lets get started!!! Dont restart until I tell you to. Download and install the 10.6.5 from the link in this guide.
After the install is done dont click restart. Copy the machkernel from the 10.6.5 Mach Kernel Kit to your dektop 2. Open the terminal app Type the following 3. ENTER YOUR ROOT PASSWORD 5.
Mv machkernel machkernel1062 7. Cp /Desktop/machkernelatom / 8. Mv /machkernelatom machkernel 9. Chown 0:0 machkernel Now pull up the 10.6.5 Combo Update window back up and click Restart.
Now that your back to your desktop we need to install the kext files we backed up. Open the Kext Helper B7 from my kit Highlight the 3 kext file and drag the into the Kext Helper B7 and enter your password and click install.
Now open terminal, we need to run pfix. After pfix is finished restart your system and your done. Last edited by 13mx; 2010-12-10 at 03:03 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost.

I'm not having those issues but thats when I updated to 6.5 everything is working well on the 6.4 cept the same issue you having with the hot keys. Also something with the mic. The VoodooHDA works but it seems to not want to save my config. Not an huge issue. I also would like to upgrade to 6.5 all working. I'll look into it a little later also. Everything working good on the 10.6.5?
I need a bigger hard drive! Last edited by eightydee; 2010-12-10 at 03:08 AM. Yeah everything works for me on 10.6.5.
Are you going to get a SSD for it? If so let me know if makes it faster? I want to do the same with mine. I just ordered a 2 gig stick. I don't know yet about the SSD, to much and still to early with the technology. I mean, I bet I could find one from a friend and see how it works out.
But I was thinking about a 640 Samsung. Seems to be pretty decent.
2 gigs makes a big difference in these things. Ordered the fastest DDR2 ram you can get for these things.
DDR2 800MHz G-Skill 40 bucks on Newegg. Just upgraded to 6.5. Runs beautifully. Even kept my hacked CleanMyMac Last edited by eightydee; 2010-12-10 at 05:48 AM.
Followed steps 1-7 creating installer as written with an 8gb usb flash and no problems. Followed steps 1-4 of the install and hangs with grey apple logo screen as before.
(HW is ASUS 1005HAB, Bios v02.58, core ver 1401) In between these trys, was able to make two changes to the usb installer 1) remove sleepenable.kext from extra folder and 2) replace machkernel (hidden file in finder window) with renamed machkernelatom from the kit and start the SL install but would fail at the very end. Tried still going to first boot of new install on HDD, but back to grey apple logo. Seems so close.
Eee Pc 1005 Hab Drivers For Mac Free
Installing Mac OS X on other netbook/laptops It shouldn't be too hard to re-jig this tutorial so it works on other devices such as the HP Mini or Dell Mini. For those drivers, you should look at for relevant files.
Note that you should have a solid understanding of what hardware is in your machine before attempting the install. Heads up I warn you now, this is not a quick task. Things may or may not work for you due to the wide variety of hardware used in the Asus EEE PC 1005HA. You will also need to set aside at least 3 hours for this to finish. That's just the install time, not including time to copy stuff over or to download the necessary files. Last note, do NOT reboot when the computer asks you to. If you do, most of the time you'll end up in tears and have to restart the process.
This process took me about 4 attempts to get right from 3 different blogs, so here is my version with as much detail as I could pack in to help you avoid the problems I ran into. What you'll need Hardware:. USB drive (8gb minimum). A computer running Mac OSX (Friend's mac or VMware). USB mouse.
USB keyboard Software:. (30.7mb, from svenbit's blog). Retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD Installation disc (Approx 7.15gb).
(Approx 0.98gb) Creating the installer Since Apple creates their OS to be installed specifically on Macs, there is a little magic required to get Mac OSX to install on your Asus. First, fire up your friend's Mac PC (yes, Macs are personal computers) or your VMware image of Mac OSX. I used OSX 10.5.5 and it worked fine. The reason why we need one is because we need the USB drive to be formatted a certain way. Stick in your USB drive and make sure there's no important data on it, because you'll lose it all. Partition the USB:.
Start up 'Disk Utility' via Spotlight (the find icon in the top right) or via ' Applications' ' Utilities' ' Disk Utility'. Select your USB drive. Click on ' Partition'. Click ' Options' and select ' GUID Partition Table' (GPT).
Name it ' SnowLeopardUSB' for identification purposes (trust me, the USB bit at the end helps). Select ' 1 partition' with the format ' Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click ' Apply' to begin.
This will take a few minutes. Copying the image over. After the partitioning is done, click on the ' Restore' tab.
Select your 'retail Snow Leopard install DVD image' as the source. Drag the ' SnowLeopardUSB' partition from the left tree into the destination textbox.
Click the ' Restore' button to image onto your USB (takes about 40 minutes) If you get the following error: 'Restore Failure - Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be scanned for restore.'
You'll need to. Click on the ' Images' menu.
' Scan Image for Restore'. Select your retail installer file.
Wait for it to finish 3. Tweaking the image This alone is not enough for the installer to work it's magic.
You'll have to run ' myHack' so it installs Chameleon 2 as your USB bootloader and some drivers for your hardware. Extract the contents of the ' Snow Leopard 1005HA Installation Kit' (SLIK) to your desktop. Go to the ' myHack' folder and run ' myHackInstaller1.1.mpkg'.
Click ' Continue'. ' Continue'. ' Continue'. ' Agree'.
' Change location' ' Show view options' and then unticking ' Show preview column' (it just gets in the way). Your HDD is on the left under ' Devices' Drivers Onwards with our cake, we've gotta prepare some icing! Note: You'll need to type in your password quite often during these steps. Open up SLIK and copy the contents from ' Extra'. Open up a new Finder window (right click on the dock icon). Go to your HDD and then open '/ Extras'. Paste stuff there and replace whatever is existing.
Now go back to the SLIK window and copy all the drivers from ' Kexts/Library/Extensions'. Go to your HDD window and open ' /System/Library/Extensions'. Paste and replace. Go back to your SLIK folder and open up ' Sound/VoodooHDA.prefPane'. An error will pop up, click ' OK'.
A few seconds later another error will pop up. Just click ' Ignore'. Time to open up the Terminal app. Go to ' Go' ' Utilities' and run ' Terminal' manually (Spotlight should still be indexing your system so it won't let you search yet). Type in ' pfix' and enter your password. Press the number corresponding to your HDD and press Enter. This tool (installed by myHack will rebuild your drivers so Mac OSX won't reject them.
pfix will take a while, so while you wait copy the Mac OSX 10.6.7 combo update onto another USB so it's ready for later. You're might see error messages appear while you wait saying: System extension cannot be used The system extension 'System/Library/Extensions/xxx.kext' was installed improperly and cannot be used. Just click them away, it's fine.
Pfix will register them correctly and they'll work upon next reboot. When pfix is done, unmount your USB drive and take it out. You're finally ready for your first reboot =) Second boot If it loaded back into Mac OSX without any problems, then good work! You can now unplug that USB mouse and keyboard. Check if you have ethernet and/or WiFi working. If you do then you're one of the lucky ones! Wireless N (802.11n) does not work!
It is a problem with Mac OSX and the AR9285 chipset in your EEE PC. Most people just change their router to use Wireless G (802.11g) instead. I've tried many fixes (see below) but none of them seem to work.
If not, you'll need to update (to at least 10.6.4) but heck, lets just go straight to 10.6.7 to save you the trouble later when you need to upgrade. Copy the Snow Leopard 10.6.7 combo fix to your desktop. Make a new folder on your desktop called ' Backup'. Go to your HDD ' /System/Library/Extensions/'.
Copy ' AppleIntelGMA950.kext' and ' AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext'. Return to ' Backup' and paste it there. Mount the combo fix image and install it. When it's done, do not reboot! Leave it open!
As of 10.6.2, Intel Atom support has been dropped. That means the setup has just removed support for your EEEPC CPU!. Go to SLIK and copy ' Machkernel/10.6.5/machkernelatom' to your desktop.
Time for some more Terminal shinanigans. Open it up via Spotlight (press Windows button + Space, then type in Terminal) sudo -s cd / mv machkernel machkernelold mv /Desktop/machkernelatom./machkernel chown 0:0 machkernel.
Now it's ok to go back to the update installer and click ' Restart' Lookin' good, the icing is on the cake =) Third boot Almost there! Just some sprinkles left. Once you're back to your desktop, you'll notice that the screen might look funny.
That's ok, since you're not using the right graphics driver. Copy AppleIntelGMA950.kext' and ' AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext' from ' Backups'. To your HDD ' /System/Library/Extensions/'.
Copy ' SLIK/Wireless/IO80211Family.kext'. To your HDD ' /System/Library/Extensions/' as well If you want the Asus function hotkeys (change volume, brightness, etc) you can grab ' AsusHotKeys.kext' from. Throw it in the system extensions folder before the next step.
Open up Terminal and run ' pfix' again for the last time. Once it's done, reboot! Fourth boot This is it, your cake is sliced and ready to eat! Everything should now be working. CPU, sound, ethernet, wireless (Up to 802.11g only), webcam, touchpad, keyboard, graphics, memory card reader and USB ports. Enjoy your cake =) That was one hell of a tutorial!
Time to celebrate with some quality Mac-Guy bashing! Next post will be about.
Battery Percentage X Fix This is due to the fact the 1005HA has 1gb of memory instead of 2gb. Apparently you have to modify some strings in the DSDT file. There is some information about it but I haven't tried it. Wireless N fixes If you feel confident enough, give them a shot and let me know how it goes.
The following fixes supposedly work on the Atheros AR9285 chipset with 802.11n (Wireless N) for some people, but not for me. Based on the new driver ' AirPortAtheros9388.kext' from iMac 2011. This involves booting your 1005HA with Windows and flashing the firmware so it disables the 5ghz 802.11n channels. Sources There were many other links or forum posts which attributed to knowledge or understanding of the lingo, but these were the main ones.
The best tutorial I've seen on this topic by svenbit. This one got me through to my first successful install. This is the first tutorial I used but the Chameleon/kext files were older, some of the steps were a little confusing, the SLIK structure was unorganised and involved some manual editing of system files.
(MarcoMC) and (svenbit) The two tutorials I used for upgrading to 10.6.7 in hope that the Atheros driver would work. Updates. Added a link to kexts.com. Added link to dual boot post.2/10/2011.
Added battery X percentage information.
