  I have an iMac early 2008, which is not suitable for the upgrade to Sierra.

• Update of the MacPro early 2008 (many questions-advice welcome)

  I have a Mac Pro 3.1 early 2008 (2xQuad-Core-8 cores taken on 2 processors, L2 cache 12 MB per processor - 32 GB of memory). OS El Capitan 10.11.4

  I'll upgrade to the best of the ability of my budget to get best performance with Photoshop and Lightroom 2015 and related software. I am a bit out of the loop that I have not followed what is happening since 2010, just as as a spectator for the most... I searched extensively and intensively for several weeks and it seems that the more I learn, less I some what to do... I will list my plans interim and my doubts and questions and hope that some kind soul will offer advice, maybe share some information on where to go for further clarification or just tell me what to do! I'm not easily offended by constructive criticism.

  So thanks in advance for any help...

  1. I have an ATI Radeon 5770 1 Slot PCIe (I have concerns everything) and a 120 GB OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCI Express high performance SSD with eSATA expansion Ports - these are not esata port multiplier. I'm not sure what to do with these, they are 6GBs ports. I was thinking about a work drive raid 0 to a port with a couple of SSDS too adequate or sufficient (not sure what size here). I'm owner also already ST2000DM001 of Seagate 2 disc HARD Barracuda 2 TB SATAII 6 GB-s technology 7200 RPM drive naked cover brand new in packaging.

  2. my berries are full of old records.  My system and applications are on a 500GB - I have a 1 to filled with photoshop psd for the most part - files (I just read that it is best to keep the TIFF files as non-compressed and I wonder if my psd files saved can hurt convert tiff files), a 1 TB partitioned into 800 MB for the current photoshop files and 200 for personal documents files I have the original 320 GB I was using as a small raid 0 dedicated to the photoshop file I had open and stops. the 120 GB in the Accelsior of mercury, can I use as a scratch disk. This screwy configuration is in response to my external LaCie recently dying (it's what I wa using machines - (this player been gave me, even though I know better than to buy whatever it is named lacie) I have everything backed up on bluray but I am aware of the precariousness of my set-up.) I have a bootable mavericks and a yosemite bootable on flash drives, but I'm very nervous about my situation as a whole.

  3. so I have a lot of options, not a lot of money and a lot of confusion about the best thing to do now... I need a sustained speed - once is not only fast open - more that I need disk space.

  I am considering:

             purchasing some enterprise hdd on sale (5 x 500GB to 1Tb HDD) and putting them in externally in a safe raid for Time Machine connected to a                firewire 800 port, or I could purchase 2 large 3GBs ssd's and put them in raid1 in my spare optical bay for time machine and then transfer offsite at                regular intervals for storage ( I would transfer the other Time Machine option offsite as well).
            that I will make a fusion with the 120GB and a new HDD for system and put it on the other external esata to take advantage of the 6 GBs. I am                wondering if the size of the HDD would make a significant difference in performance speed. I am also wondering if doing a clean install of yosemite                on a this new fusion drive and then migrating some info from the current system disk would be a good idea, or if a new download of El Capitan                would be best.
            i also need to buy a USB3.0 PCIe card for a couple of peripherals - with each port  powered. - so that also opens up some speed possibilities.

  This graphics card is quite recent and was meant to be compatible with my system - but I do not understand why it is distributed as is and it seems that there is no driver installed on one of the splits. I have not found much info and will contact the customer, but I wonder if anyone has seen this issue.

  I think that the size of your existing disks is actually one of your bottlenecks, so I kinda disagree with your idea that you need speed, more space. Adobe apps like chunks of free space for the use of work records and caches. Your installation seems also too complicated.

  Fast large capacity disks are pretty cheap these days. You can get a TB 6 for $200 Toshiba and put it in a good external enclosure. Also, you should be able to install a HDD 4 TB within a Mac Pro 2008, preferably WD Black or HGST. A good pen for a 4 biggest external to cost in the neighborhood of $75, OWC.

  I don't would not invest in a bunch of young readers, whether they are readers "business" or not.

• iMac early 2008 fails to boot completely

  Hi all -

  I have an early 2008 iMac 3.06 GHz 24 "model that starts more completely. The system gets to the Apple screen and the progress bar comes in at halfway and there it is. I had replaced the original HARD with a SDD drive and had not had any problems so far. The system has 6 GB of RAM.

  I searched around here and I've tried all of the following conditions:

  -Reset the SMC

  -Reset NVRAM

  -AHT Ran, fast mode and the full analysis - no problems found. After that, the system does boot to the desktop, but after I stop, I was unable to get another successful reboot.

  -Swapped the SDS for the original HARD drive (which was in good working order when removed) and the system stopped booting in the same place on the progress bar

  -Replacement battery PRAM

  -Ran new AHT.

  Now, I remember the computer to reboot once before what is going on started and seeing that the screen was a little fuzzy. It's the me first to suspect the video card - but don't would not AHT reported that? I don't know if the problem I have is a card or a video card. This computer has been completely reliable since I bought it new in 2008 and I was very happy with it. I want to keep around for a little longer if possible.

  Is there something I'm missing here? I have no problem opening the iMac and to make the appropriate surgery according to the needs, but I want to be sure I'm correct operation.

  Thank you!

• dysfunctions of iMac early 2008 2nd memory slot

  I tried to upgrade my iMac in early 2008 by adding a 2nd memory card in slot 2 with a correct map of OWC. also badly hit by installing Apple's original card for slot 2 & OWC in slot 1. When a card is installed in slot 2 the hard drive just repeatedly whirs & stops in quick succession. I tried the compressed air for the eruption of dust. Either card works well in location 1.

• Upgrading OS on iMac Early 2008: 10.9.5 or 10.10?

  I got a 2008 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo 24 " iMac with 6GBs memory and 2 TB hard drive.  I upgraded memory of 4 to 6 GB and 1 TB to 2 TB a few years ago.

  I am running 10.9.5.

  1. anyone can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of the upgrade to 10.10 , or 10.11 for my 2008 iMac?  I certainly do not want to level to slow...

  2. for any of you with the older iMacs 2008, what is your experience with 10.10 and / or 10.11 on older devices?  more fast/slow, etc.

  Thank you!

  Unless you have downloaded 10.10 previously, it is no longer available, so only download would be 10.11 El Capitan.

  All latest versions of operating system require more RAM, faster processors, etc. They also use RAM differently as in: all this (unused RAM is wasted RAM). Thus, depending on what you have installed and your workflow, there are slowdowns.

  First and foremost, make sure you have a good backup - a bootable clone would make things returning more easy. In this way, you can quickly start to this clone, erase your disc and clone the old system back. Alternatively, I'd say either create a second partition on your internal hard drive or use an external drive and, after cloning your current system on it (if you have all your files, etc.), install the 10.11 on it. Test drive for some time see if you like it or not. You can always remove it if you don't like it.

• I have stopped way to update for LR6... now the bed message "update not for iMac 10.8.5"

  I have dec 2012 iMac 10.8.5. He was CS6.

  2 months ago that I bought the drive for Lightroom 6 because I don't want to use cloud. I installed it and the two have worked well...

  Recently... I started updates for CS6 and LR6.

  And in the Middle updates... with panic and perseverance...

  I turned off my iMac in the middle of the update... realizing turned their availability of cloud...

  Now my CS6 icon is no longer, it is replaced by the Ps icon (when I activate it, there still etiquette "Photoshop CS6"). This method works.

  the Lr icon is, but when I try to turn it on, it has message...

  "You cannot use this version of the"Adobe Lightroom.app"application with this version of Mac OS X.

  You have OS X 10.8.5. The app requires OS X 10.9 or higher. "The LR6 will no longer appear.

  How to get older versions of CS6 and LR 6?

  You must uninstall, remove, your current installation of LR and then go to this link

  Install Photoshop Lightroom

  At the top, you want to download the Mac version of the Application Installer and refresh forever. that will return you to the original version of LR 6.

  But I suggest that you upgrade your operating system to El Capitan and continue to update LR to the 6.5.1 update this link.

  Update of Lightroom

  NOTE: do not install the update of 6.6. Install the 6.5.1 update. The 6.6 update bugs in there.
