1 [[!meta title="Help Tails: Mac and PC UEFI hardware needed"]]
2 [[!meta date="Sat Oct 12 09:00:00 2013"]]
5 For the moment, Tails has very limited support for Mac.
6 Also, Tails lacks UEFI support, so quite a few recent PC's refuse to
7 boot from a Tails USB stick.
9 We will be working on this in the next few months. However, our testing
10 and development possibilities are limited: we do not own the right
18 If you can afford it, please consider donating known-working hardware
19 of the kind described below.
21 Alternatively, you may want to consider [[donating through
22 Bitcoin|contribute/how/donate]] and dropping us an email to earmark
23 your donation for hardware purchase.
25 Else, there are [[many other ways|contribute]] you can contribute to
28 MacBook Pro or MacBook Air (2010 or later)
29 ------------------------------------------
31 * EFI 2.6 firmware or later: you can check this on the [Apple firmware
32 updates page](https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237)
33 * preferably with embedded DVD reader
39 * must support booting Debian off UEFI: send us the exact brand and
40 model of the hardware you could donate, and we will happily check
42 * well supported by Debian Wheezy
43 * preferably 13" or less
48 We need this hardware by the end of November but the sooner,
51 We could definitely make use of several such computers. One item of
52 each category is enough for initial development, but it would be much
53 better not to rely on a single person for maintaining support of this
