• 8 GB DIMM modules for early 2008 Mac Pro

  I see that OWC is now selling the 8 GB DIMMs for early 2008 Mac Pro (8-core, 3.2 GHz). This leads to the potential total RAM up to 64 GB.

  Anyone has any experience of the use of these, or potential problems?

  Thank you!

  I would call OWC and ask them. I remember not only here posts on this topic.

  However. I myself would buy a chance 2009-2012 in the place and level it. These Mac Pro are the most capable and reliable and 8 GB sticks are 1/3 of the cost of those of 2008.

• PC2-5300 memory will work in my Early 2008 Mac Pro?

  I picked up an Early 2008 Mac Pro to replace my machine from 2006 and I was wondering if I could use my 16 GB of memory in the new machine?

  Near as I can tell, the only difference from PC2-6400 is speed.

  Thank you

  According to MacTracker database all the Early 2008 Mac Pro using PC2-6400, and you cannot use slower RAM the RAM in the computer is designed to use. Sometimes faster RAM spec can clock on an old computer but the RAM slower than the technique almost never works.

• I have a 2008 Mac Pro needs of more memory

  Wonder if anyone can help I have a 2008 Mac Pro I want to add additional memory.  The designated memory is,

  HYMP125A72CP8D3-S5

  I found some designated memory

  HYMP125F72CP8D3-S5

  Both are latency case good speed and and adapt to anyone not know the difference.  And if there is a chance that it will work.  Their isn't a large part of Apple memory around this country.

  Get only the memory of a place that specify that it will work with your model of Mac and will refund your money if it does not work. Macs are picky about the memory and just match record does not always work. Here are a few places:

• test hardware mid 2008 mac pro-

  My mid summer 2008 mac pro came with Leopard installed - and I upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  I know for sure that the Snow Leopard hardware test worked by rebooting with the button held down - D but somewhere in the updates of apples - it doesn't work anymore - help on the mac said "If your computer does not restart in Apple Hardware Test restart it using the DVD or USB that contains the Apple hardware test" no clue as to what they mean - what is the dvd provided with the mac - or a DVD that came with Snow Leopard?

  Don't know why my mac has problems with reboots - but, I have a circa 2002 Studio Display, which has 2 usb ports.   I moved my keyboard aluminum to a port on the pro to a port on the display (another port is my Wacom pad - I prefer to use their pen, rarely use the mouse on the keyboard)

  I stop after use that I use only one or two hours per day.    Has no up-to-date software because Apple has stopped selling on media - and has sort of missed the fact that sometimes people jump over a version simply because as its too much headache for update annually.

  If you do not have the original installation diskettes including Apple Hardware test yo can download it here. Make sure that yo select your Mac model.

• early 2008 mac pro run a 2560 x 1440 screen

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB, 16 GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.5 running. Can I use a screen of 2560 x 1440 with this graphics card?

  MMMmmmaybe... Apparently, it has 2 DVI ports, so you will need a Dual Link DVI to get us to open. You know, of course, this video card is a little

  a-n-t-i-q-u-e and it collects dust well enough, and that there are better cards out there, no? I guess you did... anyhoo, in answer to your question

  Perhaps, possiblly Yes

• Mac Pro RAM, Audio, Bluetooth mouse problems

  I recently bought an Apple factory refurbished Mac Pro (end 2013) and replaced the three-chip RAM of 4 GB with 16 GB of Crucial two chips. Everything was great for the first two weeks. Then I started having a strange audio problem. Audio would become suddenly agitated. I disconnected and reconnected the speaker output and it would start working again. Finally, unplug the unit and plug the unit has stopped working (audio would eventually just stop working completely... zero sound with or without the speaker plugged in...) and I had to restart the computer.

  Then one day I noticed that only 16 GB of RAM showed up (I run own memory, so he's in my toolbar). I opened the machine and moved the two chips on the other side and when I rebooted, I got 32GB again.

  Then I noticed that when the audio problem came once again (he seems to be after the computer has been for a few hours or more) my Apple bluetooth mouse would disconnect and reconnect intermittently... ONLY when the audio starts to get restless again.

  I zapped the PRAM several times and now I get the 32 GB of RAM only after disconnecting the chips and MOVING them to another location, but not all the time. The audio port will begin to spoil, I reboot and I'm back to 16 GB.

  So, is it bad RAM? I removed a single chip and the audio problem still happens.

  Anyone have this problem? Apple Care suggested I bring it in the Apple Store, but I thought that I ask here before go this road, just in case there is a known issue.

  Thank you!!

  Rick...

  To establish if it is a RAM problem, remove 16Bb sticks and replace the original 4 GB sticks.

• Mac pro RAM

  Apple mac pro, 2009, el captain, 3x2GB RAM installed osx. Can I install another 8GB RAM piece to put on?

  Yes, they can be mixed. Note that the 16 GB sticks can be mixed with small-sized ones.

• 2008 mac Pro can he take the captain

  I just installed the latest version of Mac OS X on my mac pro 2008.  When I restart it goes only up to 10% and then it goes to a white screen and it stays like that for about 10 minutes.

  I tried to reboot again, and continues to be the same thing. I have just brickedmy mac.

  Whatever happens is not incompatible with ElCapitan 10.11. Incompatible hardware even never starts to install, because it starts cleverly to a lighter version of the new incoming system before copying all the files. Incompatible hardware crashes just here, in the first ten seconds, before whatever it quoi que ce soit be changed.

  Tries to start to search for the Recovery Mode (hold down command + R to start) disk utility and repair the disk or disk first aid.

• How to wake up 2008 Mac Pro in his sleep?

  In the past, when my Mac Pro (2008) fell asleep, I could watch on my laptop under the heading 'Shared' in a Finder window and the Mac Pro would be there. I could click on it and the Mac wakes up.

  Now, I can't see the Mac listed under the section shared in the Finder when its sleepy, so I have to go to press the power button. Back To My Mac is activated in the settings of the energy as 'Wake For Ethernet Network Access'.

  What Miss me?

  It is possible that the Mac Pro does not appear because its file sharing settings have been changed (on the Mac Pro).

  You must have a Hello sleep Proxy on your network, such as an airport or an Apple TV device point.

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• early 2008 mac pro running capitan

  My hearts early 2008 pro mac will no longer responds and the fan speeds. It takes multiple attempts to hear the startup sound and then not in mode 'sleep', machine works very well.

  "Sleep" mode is not automatic. I put on standby. Anyway, once invited to machine awake can show monitor 60 seconds up to end up alone as described above.

  Sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems, .bonitamacpro. I assume you did the usual stuff, zap pram, reset the SMU/PMC and all that. You can also check on the battery pram itself and perhaps the card video that maybe needing a good dusting out. I (we) don't have much to go outside of the info that you have given us here... If I remember correctly, press and hold the "D" key on startup starts the Apple Hardware test, which can be useful. You can try to start up the recovery partition (command and the keys R keys at startup), may be running disk utility, reinstall the operating system.  Etrecheck can be useful as well, but I have no idea how to do to get this going, but I'm sure that someone else doesn't. Perhaps it may be bad ram? Sorry, my "magical crystall ball" went dark...

  Good luck

• End of 2008 Mac SSD & RAM Upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a Macbook 13-inch, aluminum, late 2008. This is the 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2x2gb DDR3 1067 MHz Kington.

  I'm currently under OSX 10.9.5. My Version of boot ROM: MB51.007D.B03.

  I would like to change the current drive with a 512 GB SSD Crucial. Someone of you have encountered problems with SSD Crucial on this particular Mac?

  When I initially swapped to the Kington 2 GB RAM, I read that 4 GB is the max for this model at this time. Recently, I did some more research and found 8 GB might be supported if you a particular firmware. http://blog.MacSales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-MacBooks-use-8gb

  Im looking at buying Crucial 8 GB Kit (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 - 1066 SODIMM memory for Mac. http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/ct2k4g3s1067m

  I've read some people have had problems with 2 x 4 GB and used a config 1x2GB and 1x4Go. However, the post is about 3-4 years.

  Once I update to SSDS and the Rams I intend to update the current firmware. Should I face any problem as soon as I update to El legend with the Rams and the SSD upgrade?

  I appreciate all the comments.

  Mike

  There is no problem to occur as far as I understand your plan except that it is much more fast MacBook Pro you expect!

  You should get 2.5 external HDD Enclosure also inches so that you can make drive bootable with Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper clone!

• Mac Pro 2008 RAM Upgrade

  Hello

  My Early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) currently has 6 GB of RAM (two 1 GB sticks) and two sticks of 2 GB and I bought a pair of used ram (800 MHz DDR2, who works with the Mac Pro 2008 according to the announcement on Ebay) to take up to 8 GB. I have a Kingston 2 GB key and a broken stick of the same type to complete the configuration. I followed the instructions on the Apple support page and inserted the two sticks of working and broken in the memory card top of the page, and when I turned on the machine, it is detected that the map background (which had the pair of 2GB that was already in the machine) about this Mac. After the reinstallation of the new RAM, the fans in the machine began to turn to the maximum, and the machine hung on the Apple logo. I tried a few different configurations (including the replacement of one of the existing 2 GB sticks with the new work), which caused the machine hang or the memory card, they were to not be detected. I have now deleted the new RAM temporarily, and the machine works fine.

  Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.

  installing new RAM check the smaller units of new RAM by itself, has increased the confidence that we CAN work, prior to mixing and matching with your RAM existing. This reduces the problem to the size.
