  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:

  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:

  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.

• DDR3 DDR3L vs for mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch

  On crucial.com, I chose my system I, mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inches. I want to move to 8 GB of ram, but I want to know if their DDR3L will work. On their site it says DDR3 is 1.35 volts and the DDR3L is 1.35 volts as well. They are both the same speed, 1600. What is the difference between the two and the DDR3L will work? My current ram is DDR3 4 GB and the speed is 1600. Thank you.

  DDR3:

  CT4999407 http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/MacBook-Pro-%2813-inch-and-15-inch%2C-Mid-2012%29/

  DDR3L:

  CT3373649 http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/MacBook-Pro-%2813-inch-and-15-inch%2C-Mid-2012%29/

  On the site of crucial, characteristics of RAM that you have access to:

  "Standard DDR3 modules help Mac systems reached speeds up to 1600 MT/s.. For new systems, Mac, DDR3L modules are available. These modules offer speeds from 1866 MT/s and use 10% less energy to improve energy efficiency. "

• I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

  I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

  This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.

  Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

  Thank you

  Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

  Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

  Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

• 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?

• RAM upgrade for mid-2012 MacBook Pro question?

  So, I bought some RAM Corsair (2 x 8 GB) to install in my MacBook Pro for mid-2012. It has been well over a month now and I get freezes and flaws that were not there when the Apple RAM stock has already been installed. My question is... are it freezes and the seeds one result of the brand of RAM I have installed (Corsair) or the fact that I am superior to the amount of 8 GB of RAM recommended for this laptop of Apple to the particular address?

  Thank you.

  As you can see here, your MBP can, indeed, support for 16 GB of RAM. However, DIMMs must meet Apple specifications which are often much more demanding that really meant DIMMS for PC can meet. One of the advantages of buying from OWC (in the link) is that they provide 100% support so their products need to be designed with the Mac in mind. If you have no problem with DIMM Apple, but you do with Corsair DIMMS, I would say getting them replaced or, better yet, to get a refund.

• Need instructions/tips for no Win8.1 on mid 2012 MBP pro audio problem

  Thank you for taking your time looking in my question.

  My Machine: Macbook Pro retina no Mid 2012

  What I wanted: install win 8.1 pro 64 bit on a second SSD completely (without Partition) / replace the optical drive

  My problem: everything works fine, but no sound. Drivers seem to be the cause:

  
  How I installed windows:

  1. I put the own ssd in the main Bay + optical drive with disk 8.1 win

  2. Windows disk initialized and installed windows 8.1 64-bit without errors

  3 install the drivers for bootcamp support

  4 returned the Mac ssd go back to the main Bay and put the ssd of windows in the caddy and then in the optical Bay

  5. starting is by holding alt and choosing between mac os, recovery and boot efi (which contains windows)

  What I tried (all of the following are ineffective):

  1 reinstall/repair drivers bootcamp support from different sources (of the download on the website of apple and the bootcamp assistant application)

  2 reinstall the realtek drivers

  3. how to install intel drivers graphics hd 4000 (found a source who said it would do the trick, there is no)

  4 uninstallation of controller high definition Audio (it always seems to come back)

  5. manually download and install the drivers http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip cirrus

  I get the following error:

  

  6. place the ssd of windows in the main Bay

  7 troubleshooting sound (a 99% sure that this would not work)

  8 throw up my hands in despair and uncontrollable crying afterwards (was probably the most effective on 8)

  That I need clarification on:

  I found found some sources say that installing windows via EFI mode causes no sound, but I'm not sure if the way I installed it is considered to be the efi mode as I have never had an option for efi mode. However when I start upward and hold option the name of the windows disk named ' BOOT EFI. Efi mode is how I installed windows?

  What I need instructions on:

  Some sources claim that I need to install windows in hybrid MBR mode however I do not know how I would install windows any differently than the way I did above. How can I go about installing, not in start efi mode, if I want to spend the whole ssd for windows / that I would do anything differently than the steps I listed up there?

  Thanks a lot again for your time and help!

  Windows must be in the main Bay and must stay in the main Bay after installation. You can either use the wizard of BC and create a USB installer which will also create a legacy BIOS/MBR W8.1 (default value for your specific model) or if you choose to do it manually, make sure that the icon of Windows from the installation media, not EFI Boot.

  If you start from the DVD W8.1, the default value is Boot EFI. BC Assistant did a bit of work for you, in order to avoid the is not a good idea.

• 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

  Just my mid-2012, the Mac Book Pro has started planting without rhyme or reason.  I have to press the power button until the lights on the keyboard turns off and then turn it back again.  I get the notice to press any button or wait a few seconds for the reboot to start.  Apple logo light up and sometimes half way through and crashes again, sometimes it restarts successfully.  Then it crashes again.  I read other posts related to GPU and solder issues, such as a hardware problem that Apple will not acknowledge receipt.  No idea how to fix it?
