The softwares works only when the hardware is recognised. But acer Laptop uses a different hardware, so you can't. The Mac operating system is designed (deliberately) by Apple to only run on recognized Mac hardware, and won't norma. I have a similar problem in 2016. Mac Mini Late 2014 model. Acer 27' monitor model kg270. Tried to use hdmi but the display blinks. Used thunderbolt to hdmi converter. That worked for about a minute or so before the screen faded into black.
As many before me have done and many after will no doubt attempt, installing Mac OS X on a non-Apple piece of hardware is often a challenge where I suspect more fail then succeed.
I personally have successfully achieved this more than once and have sought to document the process that I succeeded with in as much detail as possible so that those attempting this can also succeed and hopefully contribute to this article by sharing their experiences.
This guide is all about getting Mac OS X onto your Acer Aspire One netbook (but could be used for many different netbooks potentially). I'm using the A150L model which has 1GB RAM and a 120GB hard disk but any of the Aspire Ones should work perfectly without deviating from any steps in this guide.
Mac Address For Acer Aspire 3

Mac Os Acer Aspire OneIn this guide I'm installing from an 8GB thumb drive but you could use an external DVD drive and boot from DVD instead.
I will document this guide with as many screenshots and as much detail as possible and perhaps even a screenshow or two for the really tricky parts.
If you run into problems, there's a massive community out there willing to provide suggestions or alternatives so just leave a comment and see how it goes!
And finally before you get going, good luck and hopefully in and hour or so you'll have a (practically) fully functional Hackintosh!
What You'll Need/Required DownloadsOK, here's your shopping list.
Hopefully you've already got most if not all of the hardware and just need to download the software.
1 x Acer Aspire One or your choice of Intel/AMD SSE2 hardwareYou're gonna wipe the drive on this baby so make sure there's nothing you want to keep on it's hard drive
We can however preserve the restore partition during this procedure so you can restore the AA1 to it's original Windows or Linux preload if you like.
1 x USB Thumb Drive (minimum 8GB)
1 x working MAC to create the bootable thumb driveIt's also possible to create the bootable thumb drive using Windows but I haven't documented that yet!
1 x blank DVD (optional)This is only required if:you have problems creating the USB Thumb drive and receive errors when Restoring the iDeneb ISO file to the thumb drive or
you would prefer to boot the Acer netbook using a DVD and an external USB DVD drive
1 x DVD burner (optional)If you need the blank DVD as above then I'm assuming you also have the DVD burner, right?
1 x ISO FileiDeneb v1.1 10.5.4 – Universal for Intel/AMD with support for SSE2I cannot provide you with a download link for obvious reasons but you shouldn't have much problem finding it. (Googling would be a good start.)

Step 2 – Restore The ISO File To The USB Thumb DriveStill in Disk Utility, click the Images menu and then click Scan Images For Restore…
Browse to where you saved your ISO file (mine's on the Desktop), select it and click Scan
At this point, one of two things will happen:Your scan will be successful in which case you can proceed below when it's complete
OR
You will get an error message saying Unable to scan 'filename.iso.' (Invalid Argument). If you get this error message then skip down to the Troubleshooting section at the bottom of this page.

Take a note of the number of the disk under the IDENTIFIER column as circled in red below. As you can see, mine is 1 (One) (i.e disk1 and disk1s1)
Now you need to change directory into the i386 directory which is inside the Chameleon directory that you extracted to your Desktop. You can do this by issuing the cdcommand and typing the remainder of the path which would be something like:cd /Users/your_username/Desktop/Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640-bin/i386
Tip!  A quick and easy way to do this in Mac OS X is to type cd and then simply drag the i386 folder (yes using your mouse) right into the Terminal window and releasing the mouse button. It will fill in the correct path for you. Isn't Mac wonderful 🙂
When you've entered the correct cd command, hit Enter.
Now enter the following commands and be sure to swap the items in red with the correct ones from your system as discussed in step 4 above and press Enter after each. You may be asked to enter your password. Just enter it and press Enteragain.sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk1

Stage 4 – Wireless (WiFi) CardOverviewAs far as I can tell, this is a lottery and depends what Wireless card you got with your model of Acer Aspire One.
My Acer Aspire One is the AOA150-AW and it comes with the Atheros AR5BXB6 and it does NOT work no matter what I do.
So, this stage will document the steps you need to take to replace the wireless card with a reliable, known compatible card for Mac OS X. Believe me, this will save you hours of wasted time, frustration and heartache and for a meagre few dollars.
You can get a reliable Mac OS X compatible card on eBay very cheaply!
Prerequisites for this StageDo some homework (i.e. googling) and find a card that will be reliable and stable in your netbook. A good place to start is by checking the HCL on osx86project. Here's the link: Hardware Compatibility List.
If you were to ask me what card I recommend, I would choose the BCM94321MC by Broadcom. This Wireless card is shipped by Apple in some of their Mac Pro's and is the one I use and it has never let me down once and required zero effort to install. Literally plug n' play (oh how MS does that sound!)
When you have found your card of choice, ordered it and opened the box you now need to get under your Acer Aspire One's hood and replace the card. Here's the instructions:
Steps for this StageTurn your Acer Aspire One upside down and lay flat on a solid surface
Remove the battery
Under the battery, remove the three small screws
Carefully peel back the two black rubber feet to the left and right of the battery area
Remove the screws that are under the black rubber feet
Remove the three screws at the opposite side of the case i.e. towards the front of the machine
Flip the AA1 back over and open the screen
There are three plastic tabs at the top of the keyboard – Above the F2, F8 and Pause/Break keys. Carefully, push these tabs inward with something small and pointy and at the same time gently lever the keyboard upwards by getting under the Esc key.
Once you raised the keyboard enough to get under it properly, gently go around the edges and release the whole thing. Be careful not to lift it too far as there is a ribbon cable beneath it connecting it to the netbook's motherboard.
Once the keyboard released, lift the small black tab on the ribbon cable connector. Release the ribbon cable. Set the keyboard aside.
Release the small black tab on the tiny ribbon cable connecting the mouse pad.
Remove 6 screws. 2 on the left, 2 towards the middle and 2 on the right.
Once removed, you need to gently leaver the main casing off. I did this by getting my finger under the left corner and working my way around.
Once removed, the wireless card is at ooo 6 o'clock-ish… it's the little card with two wires stuck onto it and it has one screw. Remove the screw and disconnect the two wires. They should just pop off easily.
Now reverse all steps to install the new card you have.
Stage 5 – Card Reader (SD Only)Pre-requisites For This StageIOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext.zip downloaded and extracted to your Desktop
Steps For This StageOpen Finder and browse to/System/Library/Extensions
Locate the file IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext and move it to the trash (enter password if requested)
Now drag the file IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext (the one you downloaded from above) from your Desktop into the /System/Library/Extensions folder
Click Authenticate (if asked)
Enter your password (if asked)
Click Applications > Terminal
Enter the following and press enter:sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext
Enter your password (if asked)
Shutdown
Insert an SD card
Start your AA1 and your SD Card should appear mounted on the desktop
Follow me on Facebook, Twitter or through RSS so you know when this article has been updated!TroubleshootingDisk Utility Error Message – 'Unable to scan 'filename.iso' (Invalid argument)'If you receive this error then try creating a DVD from the ISO image that you are trying to scan.
You can do this by clicking the Burn button at the top of Disk Utility, inserting a blank DVD, selecting your ISO file from the Desktop (or wherever you have it) and clicking Burn.
This will create a DVD version of your ISO file. This DVD will be bootable and if you have an external DVD drive you may plug it into the Acer Aspire and forget about the thumb drive.
Alternatively, if you want to continue with the Thumb Drive option then finish burning your DVD, go back up to Step 2 above (Restore procedure) and instead of dragging your ISO file in to the Source field, drag the DVD drive from the left side and continue the rest of the steps.
If it still doesn't work then create a new ISO File from the DVD you just made by clicking the New Image button in Disk Utility and then when that's created drag this new ISO File into the Source field instead during the Restore procedure.
Disk Utility Error Message – Restore Failure. Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored.If you receive the above message it means you need to scan your ISO or DMG file before performing the Restore procedure.
You can do this by clicking the Images menu, clicking Scan Image for Restore…, select the image click Scan.
When it's finished, try the Restore procedure again.
