• Mac Pro early 2008 adding ram problems

  I recently added RAM to my Mac Pro early 2008. The Mac Pro recognizes only 4 of 8 memory locations. I moved the slots and moved the memory and all slots and all the memories are good. No matter where I put them, or what memory I use, the Mac Pro will see 4 of 8. Any suggestions? Yosemite run 10.10.5, trying to fill all 8 locations with 800 mhz 2 GB DDR2 FB - DIMM.

• Replacement for trust Mac Pro early 2008

  Hello

  Looking for a replacement for my very reliable and expandable Mac Pro early 2008.  I got it in 2009 after the death of my PC and on the eve of Apple, highlighted the 2009 model.

  Looking for a replacement and do not know whether to go for high spec 27 "iMac or Mac Pro.  Welder instead of videographer professional seriousness.  All I get will be faster than the current Mac Pro despite many improvements over the years.

  Thank you

  Matt

  As an amateur, I think you should seriously consider any movement until the 2009 model or later. Same factor form except the processor and RAM are on a shelf at the bottom of the Cabinet.

  They are faster because of some of the architecture changes, accept more RAM and still have the PCIe slots that allow you to add upgrades.

• Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade

  Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade.

  The only option I have found is to click again on the download button, but the circle of download rest bike for a long time and ultimately that nothing happens.

  See if that helps...

  Start with CMD + r or the Option/alt key to boot from the recovery partition & use utility disk from there to repair the disk, and then repair permissions.

• Mac pro (early 2008) suddenly doesn't recognize RAM

  Model: Mac Pro (early 2008), 2 x Quad Core Intel Xeon 3.2, 20 GB (should have been 24Go - only recently realized that Genius bar replaced RAM they lost with bad spec, so we have to work outside 20 GB for now), NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB, startup disk 500 GB SSD, 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM, 2 TB SATA 72 RPM.

  O/S: Yosemite, 10.10.5 (14F1509) (to date). Waiting for the seeds with Adobe in El Capitan to be ironed out before the upgrade.

  Background: Mac runs slowly, and the fan is constantly on high even if Mac is not that much. Checked, only 16Gb 20 Gb showing, which then deteriorated to 12 and finally 8 GB of RAM.

  Checks / actions so far:

  -C' IS good RAM for this machine, IE 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, provided by Apple.

  -All the RAM recognized before (he's been there more than a year and the last time I looked, it was see 20 GB, which is what is inside).

  -DIMM is properly matched on boards.

  -Boards are fully seated in the riser.

  N ' had not moved machine or s/w recently updated.

  -Removed and replaced DIMM, which dumped first tips of handling static etc. carefully according to the instructions from Apple. This resulted in reduction of recognized with 12 GB of RAM.

  -Again re-allocation of places 2nd; It resulted that 8 GB being recognized.

  -Same report (8 GB) I look under > memory or under Activity Monitor > memory

  -No obvious problem with DIMMs or connectors; No dust, scratches or crud.

  -Replace the LANDAU and SMC

  Now at the end of the straps with a job to get out (and Lightroom being a bigger dog than usual with only 8 GB of RAM. I read all the posts I can find on this point, can't find anything I did not... Ideas please people?

  The FBDIMM used in these Macs run hot and die. You did probably nothing wrong, and there is none of the extrinsic factors that prevent your RAM from functioning. DIMMs indicate does not are diagnosed properly - they're dead.

  You can buy more if you want to run more.

  Make sure that you buy DIMM modules with the huge heat sinks and Apple has approved the temperature probe, or they will die sooner.

  As a preventive measure, you can use a third-party program to modestly increase the fan speed.

• Mac Pro early 2008 OS 10.6.8 at 10.11 on a new SSD upgrade

  Hi all!

  I want to spend my Mac Pro hard drive to an SSD with a new installation of El Capitan, but I also want to continue to use Adobe CS3 (I can't afford a new version... > _ <).  I read that some people have a lot of problems after upgrading their operating system, even when you use the legacy of Java 6 to CS3.

  Someone at - it good tutorials step by step to install a new OS on a SSD?  I have the adapter for my Mac to use the SSD drive also.  I'm not * that * tech savvy, so I don't want to spoil anything!  :\

  Would it not be possible to keep my current hard drive with Snow Leopard and run Parallels or Fusion for Adobe CS3 on my SSD?  I've never used Parallels or Fusion (preferences?), so where the Snow Leopard operating system to be need?  On a partition on the SSD or can it be on its own hard drive (the one I'm currently using)?

  Also do not know when I improve my OS, how do I tell my Mac to start El Capitan and not Snow Leopard so I keep the older operating system on its own hard drive?  It is system-> startup disk preferences?  Is that how I can go back, if I need to?

  Here are my specs:

  Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro 3,1)

  Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz

  16 GB RAM 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

  HARD drive 500GBx2 (one is currently my Time Machine, I'll use it as a backup of my photos)

  500GB SSD (no not in my Mac still installed)

  4 TB HARD drive (will have Time Machine on half)

  El Capitan would be really slow on my Mac Pro or should I go with the Mavericks or Yosemite?  I'm just trying to extend the life of my Mac as long as possible!

  I'm really sorry for all the questions!  Thank you very much for any help!  ^____^

  -Unless you have already "purchased" Mavericks or Yosemite is is not available for download.

  -I just download the installer of El Capitan from the Mac App Store and run it and order that EL Capitan to be installed on the new SSD. You can then by pressing the Option key at startup to choose which version of the OS you want to boot from. You can set either as the default startup in system preferences > startup disk.

  -During installation, you use the configuration wizard to migrate SN drive stuff. YO can also do it later using Migration Assistant but who has created a new used with the migrated data.

  -With 16 GB of RAM and an SSD El Capitan will be fine

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

  If you remove the card RAID Apple on the Mac, you MUST connect the iPass cable on its location on the motherboard, or all four bays are unusable:

• MacBook Pro 2014 - failure of the graphics card for the 2nd time in 2 years - no guarantee

  Hi all

  end of 2014, I bought a new 13 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro mid 2014 model (A1502, EMC2875). A few months later, the graphics card has failed - no obvious reason. Apple replaced. Now, the graphics card has not yet. Still, the mac worked perfectly well (no overheating of the noise, nothing) and all of a sudden - no understandable reason or external actions, the graphics card has failed. Unfortunately, I do not have a guarantee of more. At least, I can access my documents by connecting two Macs, so I hope that the material is not affected.

  My model (1502) apparently only has a single integrated graphics processor.

  My questions:

  • After some research, I discovered that Apple used to have these problems with the 2011 edition. They have implemented a replacement program. Does anyone know sth on this subject?
  • What graphics card would you recommend? How much such a graphics card? Where could I buy a cheap?

  Of course, I don't want to reuse the same type - guess I don't have to explain how @* #&! I'm after two times the same problem within two years after the purchase of a brand new MacBook Pro...

  I would appreciate any recommendations and links!

  Best regards

  Rahel

  -As you say, your Mac model uses the graphics processor integrated in the CPU chip. So, there are ios no replacement possible. The CPU is soldered to the logic board

  -The problem with the 2011 MacBook Pro was with the discreet Nvidia, not the graphics unit integrated in the CPU graphics unit.

• I want to exchange a larger HDD (Mac Pro early 2009) and at the same time improve Cougar to El Capitan.

  I want to exchange a larger HDD (Mac Pro early 2009) and at the same time improve Cougar to El Capitan. What is the best way to do it?

  I think the best would be a new installation of El Capitan on the new HD and reinstall the applications on the new HD, and then migrate the data and setting for the previous version of OSX. In this way the least unused stuff enters the new OSX version

• Ask for help upgrade (Mac Pro early 2009 2x2.6 GHz Quad-Core)

  I am a videographer who has need to bring my Mac Pro from the dead. Cheesy with video files, but not parts of. My reading so far led me to look at in what follows. I'm looking for a better understanding of each of the following items and upgrades are beneficial and worth that may be too kill for a round of aging.

  1. Memory. I currently have 4x2gb or total of 8 GB of ram. I know this is ridiculous, I have not increased by at least 16 GB so far. However, I have read that memory can only help so much and that some of the items here are actual speed thrusters. How much memory is recommended for this configuration? Should I buy? http://www.Amazon.com/16GB-DDR3-1066-PC3-8500-1066Mhz-Apple/DP/B0098MLFJG/
  2. Solid State Drives. I currently have 3 disks internal thatrange of 500 GB to 2 TB. If I used that as my boot drive, where is the best place to install (see photo below)? I read of people installing in a Bay SATA HDD or SATA optical drive unused. I read good things about it. http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-I...p/B00OBRE5UE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?IE=U TF8
  3. Video/graphics card. First of all, both mean the same thing? Are the belowonly of slots PCI Express 4 for this type of card? Also, can you have two installed? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB series. What is the best way to upgrade? My research so far has led me to the GeForce GTX680. Looks like I'll have to buy it was good. T7ZS http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-DisplayPort-Graphics-02G-P4-3682-KR/DP/B00C81
  4. Processor upgrade. I'm intimidated by it due to intensive installation and prices. What would be the next best bet - upgrade to 12-core? Where to buy?
  5. Firmware? I've seen videos and forums on (4.1 - I) (5.1) or (6.1). I don't really understand what that means. Should I be concerned?

  

  Thank you!

  -The fastest drive is a blade of base PCle SSD. Very very fast

  The SSD to 'Classic' Mac Pro training

  -The bus SATA on the Mac Pro is only SATA II (3 GB/s) and connected to the bus SAT SSD is therefore limited to speed SATA II, not the speed of current SATA III (6 Gbps) drives.

  -You can get cards PCle who accept the standard SATA SSD and who can get speeds of SATA III

  -You can install several graphics cards. I have my 2009 MP, I have the original GT120 in slot 2 and a 5770 PC card into slot 1 (slot width double only).

  A graphics for PC cards will not display anything while booting, as well as an installed PC card can be used for the Startup Option or special start-up as recovery mode.

  -J' would upgrade not processors. Frequently reading and writing to disk is the bottleneck.

  About the firmware, you can update the firmware of the 2009 to 2010 MP. Which allows the use of faster memory, using a processor six cores and audio mini displayport for the graphics card offline
