• CS5 for mac is installed on an old mac.  I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, that I want to install.  I can do this, and if not what is my best option.  I mainly use Photoshop later.  Thank you!

  I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, I want to install CS5 on them.  I can do this, and if not what is my best option.  I mainly use Photoshop later.  Thank you!

  Personally, I would install just without turning off. Worst thing that will l be happen you will need to disable a. Does not mean that you must uninstall just disable and when you need it, just disable one of the other and activate the current. But I assume CS5 because he is not yet supported most probably don't even follow the activations. I'm guessing the last part but when trying to install and activate without disabling one will not harm what anyone,.

• Help with Ram & graphics (old mac pro)

  Hello!

  I am in need of help on my "old" gen mac pro 8-core xeon 5500 3rd (early 2009).

  I just upgraded it to El Captain 10.11.6 and everything is working quite well.

  I want to upgrade the RAM 16 GB and change the video card to something more recent with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  This mac was sitting in a corner for a while due to a recent move to London and I chose to give it a try and continue to use it.
  At the moment, I have the following configuration:

  I went to the apple store in Covent Garden, here in London and they told me to check the site of Crucial that ram that I buy using their tool to find the exact model, I need.

  Well... I did... and the Web page does not suggest me any RAM, only SSDS.

  

  I tried the same tool on other Mac I (iMac and macbook pro) and it worked.

  So, my fear is that they (crucial) have no RAM in stock for my specific model.

  Do you know what version should I buy and where? (amazon?)

  The same is for the video card, I want to upgrade to another card with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  The mac will be used mainly as Adobe Creative station for Photoshop / Lightroom / InDesign.

  Thank you in advance and I really hope you can help me. (even the guy from the apple store told me to ask here...)

  Tip: Mac cards replacement Graphics Pro money Tour (2006-2012)

  Since it seems that you have a working graphics card you can buy a PC graphics card since those who are less expensive than a Mac of the card. The problem with PC cards is the show they just something on the screen after loading drivers that is right in front of the login screen. For example, you may not use special startups like recovery, boot screen Manager since there is no indication on the screen.

• 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.

• Installation 10.11.6 El Capitan with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on old Mac Pro 4.2 multiboot?

  Looking for savvy here advice...  I have an old Mac Pro 4.2 (cheese grater) that runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  It is a wonderful workhorse machine, who served me tirelessly for many years.  It is obviously older and slower, but works very well.  I love 10.6.8.  If Apple ever updated the Mac Pro line (I know, probably not... sigh...), I'll buy one and replace this machine.  Until then, I keep doing this work.

  This machine is a beast, has been upgraded with internal hard drives 1 TB three (he also got a couple internal HDs inherited from 750 and 500 MB used for storage).  I have also several external 1-4 to, hip, FW800 drives too.  A host of storage, of course, and should be a lot of options to start on several systems.

  I am generally satisfied with 10.6.8 on this machine, although there are obvious limits to that.  I would get one or two operating systems newer on it, pick-and-choose between them according to the needs, but I absolutely want to/need to preserve the ability to initiate and run 10.6.8 systematically as my operating system on the day the day, at least for now.  Maybe I'll warm to one of the others on this machine eventually, but 10.6.8 must remain usable, install a newer OS on other readers may not nerve there.

  On a year-and-a-half ago, I took a race to install 10.10.3 Yosemite on one of the internal disks.  This doesn't quite work.  I moved, sniffed Yosemite everywhere, don't really like it a lot and went to restart and him switch back to 10.6.8 for a bit.  Initially, it was impossible (from less than I expected, would be the same old process, I have always used, via system preferences > startup disk).  You can read the details of this experience here and more here if you are interested.  This latest attempt to get Yosemite on this machine was a very negative experience.  Yosemite is still there on an internal HD, but I tried not to boot on it since then.

  Now I take another look at this.  What is the engine now, is that I want to update my iPad Mini 3 iOS 10.  But that (update of an iDevice iOS 10) requires iTunes 12.5.1.  And iTunes 12.5.1 requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or newer - it won't work with 10.6.8.  I'm looking for my options.

  Right now, I have three large internal HDs: HD #1, 2 # HD and HD #3, each 1 TB.

  HD #1 has 10.10.3 Yosemite on this.  I started from this time and have not resumed since.

  HD #2 has 10.6.8 Snow Leopard top.  This is my main operating system and startup of daily drive.

  HD #3 is nothing special about it.

  Although HD #1's Yosemite about that, I have only started from this disc once and hesitate to go back, at least until I can get a way easy and reliable to restart off HD #2.

  I understand that I can also get 10.11.6 El Capitan.  I thought that installing on HD #3.  That sounds like a reasonable to add option, but again, I want to make sure it won't cause problems to switch back to start off HD #2 in Snow Leopard (such as installation of Yosemite on HD #1).

  What is the best way for me to go about safely - preserve the option to start easily in 10.6.8 on HD #2?

  Thanks for the help!

  If you start or restart now Option (Alt) key and calls the Startup Manager, you should be given the choice at the start of any boot disk OS X on any of the readers.

  Can you elaborate on the Mac Pro model you're talking about? You do not understand that the iMac has nothing to do with the Mac Pro, they are separate templates and are different from the model years. What you are trying to update? What version of Mac OS X Mac Pro work?
