• PCI cards with USB 3.0 or eSATA for a Mac Pro 2006 (1,1)

  Hello, Apple people!

  I got my hands on a Mac Pro 2006 earlier from a friend. I used it as a BESTIAL Server (seriously, this thing is not so much as breaking a sweat even when I throw it the more difficult task.) I love this machine) since I got it, and I think I want to do the updates. My plan so far is to get multiple mounting OWC to pick up the second drive Bay currently vacant DVD and install two 120 GB Samsung 850 EVO drives in RAID 0, while using the real HARD disk bays for a RAID 10 array (nested RAID: two RAID 1 arrays brought together in a RAID 0 array) of four 2 TB red WD drives and use two 250 GB hard drives currently in the machine in an external case in a matrix RAID 1 for backup. I'm pretty happy on this issue.

  My question concerns what interface to use for external drives of 250 GB. I can use:

  • USB 2.0 currently on the machine
  • FireWire 800 currently on the machine
  • a PCIe USB 3.0 card
  • a PCIe card with eSATA

  That we will get the faster speeds? I know that, theoretically, eSATA would get faster speeds (6 Gbps eSATA vs 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 vs 800 Mbps, Firewire 800 vs 480 Mbps USB 2.0), however I know also (maybe?) that the Mac Pro I have only has grooves in v PCIe 1.1, with a (supposed) 250 MB/s maximum data transfer rate. would this bottleneck a PCIe USB 3.0 or eSATA card not worth?

  Note: don't worry all "Mac compatibility" with PCIe cards (or the table RAID scheme I mentioned). I am running Ubuntu Server (64 bit) on the machine, and given that the Linux kernel supports much more conductive than Mac OS X, I probably don't need to look at all the other drivers. This issue is specific to the hardware capabilities of the Mac Pro.

  Probably the most simple installation, you can do is to install the eSATA extender cable adapter.

• Mac Pro 2006 - 2007 update

  I have improved the original core dual processors in my Mac Pro (1,1) 2006 with quad core Xenon 5355 processors. "About this Mac" shows as unknown processors, but acknowledges there are two, with a total of 8 cores. I have downloaded and run the firmware utility; However, the gray bar of the screen and progress only briefly illuminate. Then, the drafts of the screen and the computer starts. The firmware version is still listed as 1.1 vs 2.1, and processors are unknown. I would appreciate any suggestion that this tool has apparently worked for others. Thank you.

  Provided by Apple firmware upgrader installs only the original firmware.

  Amateur of the firmware upgrader is available through netkas.org. When you have found the right forum, you must register on their site to access the update. This is not supported by Apple, and it is not for commercial use.

• Upgrade Mac Pro 2006 to 2008 by replacing the Logicboard

  I'm trying to make the best use of a MacPro 2006 my home late and need a better CPU and PCI-E bus.

  Someone has updated a MacPro 1.1 (2006) to a MacPro 3,1 (2008)?

  From what I understand, the basic material is the same, except logical Board, sinks of heat installation of memory and CPU cards. Everything else, like the PSU cage, chassis and memory and the fans seem to be identical. Can anyone confirm this?

  Thank you.

  It will be cheaper and much easier to buy a used Mac Pro set and sell your existing one.

• With the help of a big screen on mac pro 2006

  I have a 2006 (original) mac pro with 3 GB of ram and nvidia 7300gt graphics card. I use it for design on photoshop and illustrator. However, its screen 20 '' (aluminum Apple Cinema Display) is not big enough to see everything in one piece. "

  I plan to get a larger screen (27 "or 34"), but Im worried if my gpu can handle them.

  Should I expect somehow a better gpu? Or can I find and buy cinema display of 34 "this time? Both are very hard to find.

  There are recommendations that you could do?

  Thank you.

  The size of the screen diagonal is not relevant.

  Your current graphics card can support a screen up to 2560 x 1600 pixels on its dual-Link DVI port and an additional display up to 1920 x 1200 pixels on its DVI port to single bond.

• Main problems to upgrade the graphics card in my Mac Pro in 2006.

  I am trying to upgrade the graphics card OEM in my Mac Pro 2006 to a Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card.  I have big problems.  The previous owner recommended that my BONES 10.7.5 uninstalling and reinstalling.  I don't know how to do this.  The Apple website was no help with this issue.  The previous owner gave me a lot of procedures I've ever done before, including removing and re-creation of my RAM and using a Kext troubleshooting application.  Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

  a 4870 with 1 GB of VRAM is not a real Mac card (who had only 512 MB of VRAM). Unlikely to show an image until the login screen, if ever. Unless the seller has a 100% guaranteed working procedure to get this working, I recommend you return for a refund - it is not likely to work in your Mac.

  A true 5770 Mac or 5870 is the best approach for a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro, because they are known to work with everything except movies under copyright, and your Mac is stuck in the 32-bit kernel and pre - 10.7.5 MacOS.

• Map 661-4460 Airport, 661-4594 BCM94321MC is compatible to be used in the MAC pro A1186

  I'm going to buy a refurbished Mac Pro A1186 and need an Airport card

  I am completely new to the Apple Mac computers but have just enough of the terrible 10 windows especially windows!

  Thank you

  Yes, this card should work. Here's a few other specs for your Mac Pro 2006. FWIW, there are two similar cards, that you mentioned (the map that was an option at the time, these desktop computers are released) and also the BCM94322MC which is an updated version. Either should work. Nevertheless, it would be wise understand return policy in case you get a faulty card.

• Used Mac Pro mid-2012

  Hello

  I have a Mac Pro 2006 1.1 and still works very well with the updates, I did a couple of years with an SSD, ATI Radeon HD 5770 and

  24 GB memory Crucial and it is running Lion. I bought my computer nine at the end of 2006.

  However, I'm starting to look at investing in a new machine but used. I think the Mid Pro Mac 2012 (base 12). I checked the many tourist attractions, including Powermax and ebay. I have an idea of what the price from the 2012 used range, but I noticed that some sellers eBay out of California are selling the machines for a lot less. I reached out to a couple of them that have 100% of positive reviews to confirm the machines are original and not have been updated to older models that they were able to verify.

  Is there a reason the computers would be cheaper in California, but more expensive with a company like Powermax who

  is an authorized reseller of Apple products?

  My reasons for thinking a used model is that the new Mac Pro are too expensive for me right now. If a used computer can stand for 3 to 5 years, then it's worth as long as Apple ends not supported for the 2012 model. I use my computer for graphic design, rendering and video creation from time to time.

  Any feed back would be appreciated including all views on the purchase of the 2012 (Basic) machine 12 Mid.

  Thank you

  Very few Applications actually can enjoy more of a handful of kernels. Compressor is one, if use you it.

  Otherwise, these Macs tend to be I/O bound, this is why a SSD Boot drive gives them such a performance increase. If you can put the Source on a single disc, Destination on the drive of the anther, Scratch, on another drive and boot/system on an SSD you can see more actual performance increase that moving to 12 cores.

  If you do NOT need 12 cores, the differences between the model 2102 and the 2009 model are tiny.

• Could not find the wifi on 2006/2007 mac pro antenna cables

  I just installed an Airport card in my Mac Pro to 2006 but I can't find the antenna inside the case cables? Does anyone know where they would be located? Included with every Mac Pro models, or is mine were too old for this? I have experience with this stuff, but I don't want to spoil anything.

  Thank you

  Update: I found them under the logic board

• How can I place Sarfari if I have a desk top 2006 mac Pro?

  I have a Mac Pro to 2006 bureau. It cannot be upgraded to higher then 10.7.5. I received many Web sites I visit to upgrade or my Safari or websites may not work properly. I really like the Safari and want to continue using it. Do I have to buy a new computer? Is this way Apple force me to do?

       

  After an undetermined number of years Apple constantly updating software for older systems. Everyone does this, but at different times.  Thinking back on it with Apple, it was usually after a version of the system is about 6 years old and a whole lot of support recently made the break with the systems of pre - OSX 10.7.  If you want a browser supported for 10.6, you will have to look in other browsers that for now at least, still support 10.7.  I think that Firefox still doesn't work and I don't know if the branch of TenFourFox of Firefox will adopt now 10.6 users. They still make a version of Firefox for computers PPC owners.

  I think I've seen others mention Opera.

  2. do I need to provide a source of additional power for this or already installed cables will suffice?

  Thank you very much

  Yes it will work in a 3.1 based on:

  http://www.macvidcards.com/store/P42/Nvidia_GTX_980_4_GB.html

  You must 10.10.5 or later version.

  You don't need additional power but yoo must Nvidia drivers

  If you do not have a card that has the firmware flashed for a Mac you will not see a splash screen, you can't use special startups like recovery, startup key Option since nothing appears on the display

  You need to install the disks required before exchanging cards. If the existing card does not require the use of one of the connectors on the logic voard yo can likl; EU uhave two installed maps

• Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.

  Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.
  A message appears on the iphone asks you to trust the computer it is attached (mac pro 10.10.5)

  You type 'Confidence' and nothing happens. the photos on mac app publishes this message.

  This Mac not yet have been granted access to the media on 'my iPhone '. To import media to this Mac, press 'Trust' on 'my iPhone '. You must first unlock the device.

  This actually solved for me after going to settings, General, reset, reset the location and privacy... and then plug in the unit and pressing the trust... hope that works for others.

  < personal information under the direction of the host >

  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?
