  'Later' a few days ago is 10.12 Sierra and that Mac is not supported under Sierra.

  10.11 El Capitan is always available for download (but deliberately difficult to download 'accidentally'). Any downloadable Mac OS requires you to have 10.6.8 in place first, because this is the version with a stable Mac App Store.

  In an emergency, ask the dealer if they have a "Full Retail" 10.6.8 Snow Leopard DVD they could give you, or buy it for $ 20 on the Apple store online. Gray discs only work for the exact model, they are made for, so a gray disk for an iMac will not start and will not be installed.

  "What graphics card" is motivated by what you plan to do with it. Mac-specific firmware a graphics card is necessary for a photo before the login screen. GT120 Mac firmware card is very affordable, but it's not bad a card if you plan on editing video and other.

  To run El Capitan, there must be a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, and more is better. Your Mac uses DIMM modules in pairs in adjacent locations, and if you fill out accidentally all the slots, memory in double width for an increase in the speed of 17 percent.

• Very high readings of temperature CPU of the Mac Pro 8-core 2007

  I have a Mac Pro 1.1 updated to level with two Intel Xeon X 5365 CPU and firmware 2.1. The system has worked very well for months. However, I'm worried about CPU temperature readings. Assuming that the readings are correct, I have no explanation for the difference in typical 30 degree Celsius between the processor and the heat sink.

  Is it possible, that the CPU exceeds their life expectancy?

  During a stress test, I can see the following typical readings:

  CPU core 87 C / 189 F

  CPU a heatsink 58 C / 136 F

  B processor 91 c/196 F

  CPU radiator B C 59/138 F

  I use new thermal paste Arctic MX-2 and tried various measures, including polishing of the surface of the CPU and the heatsink using sandpaper grain 1000. Nothing has so far had no effect on temperature readings. There should be enough good contact between the heatsink and processor during the installation, because they stick well enough to remove the heatsink again.

  Max TCASE. According to the operating temperature -1333 http://ark.intel.com/products/30702/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5365-8M-Cache-3_00-GHz-MHz-FSB is 63 degrees Celsius.

  According to http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/design-guide/5400-chipset-memory-controller-moyeu-guidelines.pdf the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 series include a function of on-chip temperature sensor. The heat sink provided by Apple has a temperature sensor, which seems to be fixed directly on the coper plate that touches the CPU head spreader.

  Given the following quote from the same document:

  TIM's performance is sensitive to degradation (e.g. breakdown of fat) over the life of the processor because of the temperature of the phenomena of cycling. For this reason, measuring of the processor given TCASE value can decrease over time according to the type of material of TIM.

  Anyone know if the IHS on the CPU is soldered or whether they used the thermal paste between the IHS and the die of a CPU? In the case, perhaps it could explain the current temperature readings.

  Any ideas? Thank you!

  Your temperatures look a bit high, but not outrageous. The temperature measured on the Silicon of heat will be always higher than the temperature measured on the radiator. That's what the radiator is supposed to do, leads away from the heat to the fins, which would measure even more cool.

  Your Mac allows to adjust speed of the fans to the top in a loop of feedback, founded the temperature of these measures. You can place a floor under your minimum speeds of fans. This can be done with the tool similar to some tool you already use, like the SMC fan control.

  If the processors to exceed their safe operation temperature, your Mac will perform a sudden uncontrolled power off.

• 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.

• Current recommendations to replace my aging STARTUP DISK in my Mac Pro 4-core (mid-2006) 2.66 GHz?

  Hello old friends!

  Common sense, to the age of my current BOOT DRIVE (320GB) and the recent difficulties of start-up tell me I should replace the DISK to BOOT in my Mac Pro 4 - core (mid-2006) 2.66 GHz ASAP - in fact, immediately. 

  I do NOT need more capacity.  Currently I have a 320 with 225 available GB boot drive.  However, I do understand that there may be nothing in this range of low capacity available out there more.  I was buy new disks for the other three bays, and they are 1 and 2 TB of disk.

  Should I buy a big for my boot drive?  Should I consider a SSD?  I want to less than $100 or more.

  Living in a fog of permanent brain due to the M.E., encephalomyelitis myalgic for years and not confident in my ability to pick a player of the moment, alas.

  Advice on make and model, the same source, will be more appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

• 10 Windows installed successfully on early 2009 Mac Pro Quad but no network detected

  I installed Windows company 81 on my Mac Pro without problem, using the WiFi Edimax EW-7711MAC of OWX adapter, which went very well under 8.1.

  I have upgraded to Windows 10 company, works very well, "sfc / scannow" gave rise to no error, but the card WiFi has only a beta driver 10 to win, and I can't detect all of the networks. The pilot has been out since August, seems if it was questions, he would have been fired and Edimax support did not have any major problem with the driver beta for me. I had to run commands for the visible card.

  Not sure if this is a gap in the Bootcamp drivers as I lost it scrolling and keyboard Windows functions or the beta for the WiFi card driver is at fault.

  Device Manager sees the adapter, shows in the adapters in the Panel, just no networks are detected.

  Can what version of the drivers for Bootcamp I use with an Early 2009 Mac Pro Quad to work with Windows 10? I saw some "hacks" on the boards, especially for the Macbook Pro. Curious to know if anyone has found a combination of driver that works with this model or as.

  

  

  Can you check if WiFi issues on Windows using boot camp 10 solves your problem of WiFi?

• PCI 3.1 ASUS USB to the Mac Pro running El Capitan?

  Hello

  As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4.1 (updated to 5.1 and 2 X of Hexa-Core Xeon X 5670 CPU) I "suffer" a restriction.

  And it is now old and really slow USB 2.0.

  I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 and I spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card.

  Of course, this card is given only as compatible with Windows...

  But I've seen a few reports of people claiming to have inserted this card in their Mac and have used successfully with several devices.

  It seems that these reports are under "Yosemite".

  I was wondering if they are always good with El Capitan...

  I put the card in the Mac.

  It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro.

  In fact looking at the system information, under "PCI" give "Expansion USB card".

  BUT:

  -No USB key I have insert mounts;

  -No USB stick plug mounts;

  -my mouse lights

  -the keyboard does not work...

  So I'm wondering if:

  -El Capitan has got rid of the first USB support 3.1 to Yosemite?

  - Or if my card can be default somehow?

  -If this behavior can be caused by updates, I made (Mac 4.1-5.1 online) + 8-Core CPU-online 12 Core CPU?

  If anyone would be able to help me, I would be eternally grateful :-)

  If so, the card can be sent to the seller...

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  Replying to myself: the card is functional.

  And the material is not at fault.

  How will I know?

  Simple: my Mac can dualboot on Mac or Linux Debian.

  So I just started in Debian on the same Mac Pro.

  Guess what? Without having to install any additional software, the card USB 3.1 is perfectly recognized under Linux.

  To remain decent, I will remain silent and will not say what I think Apple tries to limit the use of their devices without the need of technique to do so.

  I will now try to start to Yosemite to see if it allows me to use the card.

  Kind regards.

  Hello there Penguiner.

  Looks like you bought the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card and questions about its compatibility with your Mac Pro. The following Knowledge Base article speaks to the maps provided by Apple which have been tested and work with the Mac Pro:

  On the compatibility between Mac Pro-carte models graphics

  Since the ASUS card is not listed, the reference of the article could be a good recommendation to follow:

  This article applies only to video cards that originally shipped with a specified Mac Pro or upgrade kit have been offered by Apple. Similar maps that are not provided by Apple may have compatibility issues and you have to work with this card provider to confirm compatibility.

  Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

  Kind regards.

• connecting the iphone 6 with the Mac Pro for messages

  My iPhone 6 is not bind properly with my Mac Pro for Messages.  When sending a message from the Mac Pro, the message will be displayed on the iPhone immediately, but this is not always appear as "sent" or "delivered" on the Mac; It just shows an incomplete treatment green line at the top of the message on the Mac bar.  This occurs only with SMS messages.

  I followed the instructions to connect the two devices using my Yahoo account, but it still does not work properly.

  Any ideas?

  Make sure that your iPhone software is up-to-date.

  Tap Settings > general > software update

  The latest iOS version is 9.3.4.

• The Mac Pro has a future?

  The Mac Pro has a future? Processors seem to have reached a plateau and it is no longer an Apple Display Monitor for it. I want to replace my 2009 model at the beginning because it will not support the Sierra and would prefer a Pro for an iMac as I run SETI 24/7.

  I think that early 2009 Mac Pro is supported of Sierra, although...

  Sierra has Siri requiring a microphone that Mac Pro does not, so we need to do, even if Apple can't sell microphone or headset for Mac Pro.

  I use Sierra Beta Version2 on 2012, MacBook Air and it's fun.

• Can I use my 5K iMac as a monitor for the Mac Pro?

  I'm so curious because I really need speed for Final Cut, but for the Mac Pro, you must separately buy things (monitors, keyboards, mouse). For the iMac, it is included, but he really loves * that the Mac Pro has this old crush which is very pixelated to 82ppi, compared to the iMac not expensive 21.5 "without Retina display, it is equal to 102ppi. My iMac 27 "is 5K also, and the iMac is 218ppi. I want a high resolution to get the best view possible, but I can't in the Mac Pro. I would like also to the screen have a built-in webcam and speakers similarly.

  Only through the screen which two computers sharing work normally.
