• 2009-2012 mac Pro

  Hi all

  I'm ready to buy a Mac Pro opportunity and after reading some and asking around it seems that the core Westmere 5.1 2012 6 is a very good model. However, I saw a 2009 model which has been upgraded to be a 5.1. Is there a difference between a true 5.1 of 2012 and a 2009 upgrade? There the performance/reliability issues with those upgraded?

  Thank you

  Apple announced for the Mac Pros, Sierra need a 2010 or later Mac Pro.

  We know not if updated the firmware on a 2009 a 2010 will allow the 2009 run Sierra. So, I'd get a 2010-2012.

  There is really no significate difference between these models

• Can I use 6 discs in a Mid 2012 Mac Pro Server to?

  I want to consolidate a couple of servers on a Mac Pro Server. I intend to use a disk to store data and the other as backup (simple clones). 6 TB of hard drives compatible with the Mid 2012 Mac Pro?

  Yes with the following conditions:

  -There is a bug in OSX 10.8.4 and later the internal formatting prevents drivers more than 2.2 GB.

  This bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been set. You can

  using an any older Mac OS X disk utility, your Mac may initially with 10.7.3, 10.8 or 10.8.3 and therefore the 10.6 DVD and so does not work

  Another work around is to move this drive in an external case and delete it there (assuming your case is modern enough to deal with readers more than 2.2 to.

  • When you DELETE a more 2.2 TB drive in an internal drive Bay, it is given the stuff of Logical Volume in Mac OS X 10.8.3 and later versions. Many readers regarded here as a BUG. Logical volume group partitions were not needed and trafficked, re - DELETE and other functions. There are several very different workarounds:

  • Re-CLEAR in a box outside, provided you can accommodate more discs 2.2 TB ("really old" cannot).
  • CLEAR using Mac OS X or Recovery_HD or install predates it 10.8.3
  • Manually delete the partitions of a logical Volume using Terminal Server group.

  -For the mounting of sled internal:

  The penetration of the screw depth for 'down-screw mount adjacent to the platters' on some readers from over 3 TB have been shortened. This may mean that the live sled down until they adjust and begin to compress the washers on the sled. If this is the case, your drive will not rest flat on the sled and do not breed with the connector backplane without additional adjustment.

  OWC now sells sleds that uses different types of mounting holes in the HD to avoid this problem.

  You can shorten the screws, or put a washer under the head to ensure they can be warm in the authorized depth. Also, now OWC/Macsales now sells sleds that use the location of the different types of mounting screws to avoid this problem. However, these sleds are only for the Pros 2009 and subsequent

• upgrade Windows 7 for win 8 on 2012 mac pro?

  I just loaded win 8 via boot camp on my laptop and windows 7 on my mac 2012 pro.

  I /had/ a windows installation on a mac pro 8 but my WD caviar black 1 TB drive, but this player 1 + year giggling like a rooster and unresponsive.

  Can I upgrade to windows 8 using my existing installation of windows 7?

  I'm now thinking that instead of a new window installation 8 that I could just use my existing installation of windows 7 and put 8 top as soon as I'm comfortable to work with the new windows 8 install on the laptop.

  can anyone advise as to how I can do this or if it is a good idea?

• Can I install an ssd and its system of MacBook Pro mid-2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

  Hello

  My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD with the system on a Mac Pro.

  I just ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine.

  I wonder if I can boot directly from this SSD or if I do the previous setting in the system.

  Given that the Mac is able to run the latest version of Mac OS X, and you want to move the SSD for older Mac rather than new, it should work. I guess that saying you 'ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine' you mean connecting via USB rather than internally, which would be a great test.

  If it works, I would say running the combo for OS update comes on the SSD once it is installed in the older Mac.

• 2012 mac pro drive whining/spinning

  I have a 2 TB Western Digital drive with an installation of Windows 8 on it which has failed to start several times with an error indicating that the disc was bad. now when I boot on mac OS, I hear that a relatively high slope spinning/whine that comes from this disc.

  I went to this page

  http://www.datacent.com/DataRecovery/HDD/western_digital

  and after listening to the sounds it seems that this is the problem:

  Western Digital disks also have a common problem with PIN entry. This occurs after a fall and the reader either is not turn at all with the siren sound: or starts with a strong unable to earn enough noise speed control:. Data recovery in this case is to remove trays from the hard drive in a clean room environment and put them into donor. This complex and precise procedure requires a lot of experience and the use of specialized equipment to maintain the trays in perfect alignment.

  I thought /had/ I have all the readers of "Black Caviar", but it says not black. It's WD2002KAEX SATA 64 MB of CACHE memory.

  can someone help me understand what I need to do.

  1. for example I really want to have to install my WinClone support since I don't think that I even put any software on this drive yet.

  2 should I get only the WD Black Caviar drives in the future or can someone tell me the info above what type of drive it is?

  3. no doubt my options here are whether the car is under warranty and return it for a new?

  4. install the new drive and reinstall windows 8?

• Power Mac Pro 2010 problems

  So I just bought a Mac Pro 2010 and it ran fine for a day or two and then I noticed that when he falls asleep the light never blinks and turn even a problem.

  If the unit is off, when I first press the button there is a click but the led stays off and nothing happens. I have to hold down the power button until there is another click. When I press the button once again, there is a click and the power of fans on and the machine finally starts. Although the chime time seems very long.

  However, when he goes to sleep, the monitor turns off, I can hear the fans turns off but never flashes as it should the. Subsequently, the computer cannot be awakened from his sleep. This happens if the timer is active, I press the power button or choose to sleep in the menu. I have to hold the power button to turn it off completely, then start it again. Also, when I press the power button to restart the same as above occurs.

  I ran Onyx to flush all caches that I left my SSD (OWC E2) my Mac Pro 2008. I also reset the SMC and the LANDAU and also ran the Apple Hardware test. Nothing has helped and no errors not found in one of these trials. I tried simply have a HARD classic in this drive and removed all my cards accessories but that does not make a difference. Even when I start windows via boot camp the same problem occurs with sleep.

  Any suggestions?

  I had a similar with a 2010 6 core Mac Pro problem except that the Mac I never sleep, so sleep was not involved. An Apple Store Genius diagnosed as a button battery failure and, eventually, the PS. I asked that the two be replaced since the support for that Mac ends. It's worked OK since then and at Pick-up, engineering was agreed that, while the battery needs replacement, the real problem was the PS.

  Until the repair, one of the things that helped aims to let the Mac disconnected from the AC line for about an hour. Immediately after it by plugging in, he would sometimes start and then work.

• Mac Pro 5 1-PCIe Configuration

  Hello

  I have upgraded my Mac Pro 5, 1 (model mid-2010) with a few changes/additions PCIe and need some advice. Frankly, I was surprised by the fact that the Expansion Slot utility was not usable here and the old interface to help me refine the best configuration. Reading about the possible configuration options started his contradictory between reseources. Anyway, this is what I have:

  Slot 1 (x 16) - ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card

  Slot 2 (x 16) - ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card

  Location 3 (4 x) - empty (no physical space due to above)

  Unit 4 (x 4) - card Sonnet PCI Tempo SSD Pro Plus

  So, is this look of effective configuration for the priority of the data read/write verses performance graphics performance?

  Peace,

  Dr. Z.

  The utility of PCI slot is not usable on the 2009 to 2012 Mac pro.

  The allocation of housing-gears the 2009 Mac Pro 2012 is fixed, not configurable and is exactly as you say: the two 16 x slots, the two upper slots lower slots are 4 x speed, but of "provide support for up to 16 x cards" (in other words, they use the biggest connectors, but everything beyond 4 x is not connected).

  Your installation seems fine. Some users prefer to leave the top slot open for a better circulation of air above all the cards. But as you say, you do not have this option.

  4 x is fast enough for this SSD card. Which is about as fast they do these cards so far. Extra speed as a 16 slot x could not possibly serve in the drafting of this article.

• Rental short term for the Mac Pro Tower - transplant ramdisk hard

  Hello

  I am a composer based in the United Kingdom and use round of mid-2010 Mac Pro 8 Core (2 x 2.4 GHz) Intel Xeon with 64 GB RAM and four SSD drives.

  I am going to Los Angeles for a project of long months of work in July and need a same computer set up to use while I'm there.  It's too expensive/complicated to ship my computer to the United States, then I'll probably rent a machine in Los Angeles.

  I found in a place that I can rent a tower 2012 Mac Pro 12-Core (2.4 GHz) with 16 GB of RAM, and I wondered: if I take my four SSD drives and my RAM modules, then I simply transplant these pieces into the 12 basic machine and start as my home machine?  Or must I buy an additional empty SSD and use the Migration Wizard to clone my main boot drive?

  I've never done this before, so I don't know if the boot drive will recognize that it is connected to a computer with a different motherboard etc.

  Thanks for any help and advice,

  Laurent

  Change the RAM and the disc should be fine. I would take the sleds with your SSD and just slid the old sleigh and do drag in your.

• Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro - does not fit into my Mac Pro.

  I just bought a Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro Plus (the same, physically, like the Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro)

  I can't even came close it enter my Mac Pro end 2012. On the back of the bumps in the fan card, even with the fan cover pulled back.   This isn't a case to remove the lower lip, which obviously I do, I can't do it AT all, not even at an angle.

  I called Sonnet, but incredibly the tech said that it must adapt.

  It seems that I have only 2 choices: unscrew the fan and moving it more far forward of the mac (somehow) to cut about 1/2 "on the back of the Sonnet card.  The latter would obviously kill my warranty, and I don't even know if the bloody thing still works.

  To my amazement, I find nothing about it online.  It's like the Twilight Zone.

  Any ideas?  Someone knows has a video that shows a successful installation?

  Pls confirm what Mac you have.

  There is no end of 2012 Mac Pro, only mid 2012.

  There is a 2012 end MacBook Pro.

  Many retailers who sell SSDS have diagrams or installation videos. An example https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macpro_2010/

• Mac Pro restart loop if Mavericks

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my computer to El Capitan, but it seems that my Mac Pro will enter a reboot loop unless the OS's Mavericks.  If the installation program cannot start and even if I do a clean install of Mavericks and then try to update, I can not even do - I get a reboot loop.

  It's as if my computer won't run anything else, but the Mavericks.  It's 2012 Mac Pro

  Thanks in advance,

• El captain for an old Mac Pro?

  Hello

  I have a 2009/2010 (not sure) Mac Pro upgraded to a base of 1 X 6, 760 GTX, 32 GB of Ram. 2 x 512 SSD Drives and still the oldest cinema apple display (aluminium) in very good condition. I have installed the Mavericks in one SSD and Yosemite on the second. My question is. The El captain is suited for this kind of older hardware that I have? Especially the monitor?

  Thank you

  Sorry, it's a question that I should post the Forum of El Captain instead?
