• Update Firmware Pro Mac 2006

  I have a Mac Pro in 2006 with the original Xenon dual-core processors running 10.7.5. Apple's site explains the EFI firmware appropriate for that must be MP11.005C.B08.  My system information lists my version of BootROM as MP11.005D.B00. I downloaded the installer; However, when I open it, it says that my Mac does not need this update? Can someone please explain this to me? Should I make a newer version than B08?  If I need this update, is there a way to perform the update? Thank you.

  Most likely implementation:

  1. MP came from the factory with already installed update.
  2. Someone installed the update.

• Get 6G SATA in the platters of drive Mac Pro 2010

  After some research, it seems that the procedure to attach a map of mini SAS PCIe to readers in the disc trays Mac Pro internal is simple enough for the Pros of the Mac 2006-8, but not so much for 2009-2012.

  With regard to the very simple procedure for the 2006-8 Mac Pros:

  http://blog.MacSales.com/12247-upgrade-your-06-08-Mac-Pros-internal-bays-to-SATA-3-0

  AFA I can tell, the Mac Pro 2009-12 is not a SATA port transfer to connector mniSAS on the motherboard as the 2006-8, but requires some antics more. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  I found this kit, which is expensive, but it looks like it will do the job

  Ideas on this or alternatives?

  Material:

  Thanks for reading this.

  Why not just buy a special tray in which you mount the SSD and it connects to your SATA bus using one of the four internal trays. However, this bus doesn't support 3G in this model, a 6G SSD will work, but not as fast.

• VMware Fusion 8.0

  I plan to put VMware Fusion 8.0 on my new Mac Mini, so I can run an older version of Quicken for Mac 2006 R7. I have more than 20 years, the Quicken data files and I need to be able to access these files years every so often for the purposes of investment. Didn't like not all of the new version of Quicken for Mac, or any other software of finance personal I tested (they all seem to be cloud online version now), so I went back to the old version of Quicken, which is very stable for me (I just don't let it backup on my internal HD more).

  All the old Quicken files and the program are on my Time Capsule and another hard drive backup external.

  My old Mac Mini still works, but given that the OSX can not be upgraded beyond v. 10.6.8 some programs and Firefox work just not so well, and I was starting to think I have some security issue too.

  I could get another monitor to the old Mini and not allow access to the internet, but it would still need to save every day at least to one of the external drives. Or, I could attach it to my current monitor along the coast the new Mini, using the D - SUB cable. I've never used the D - SUB connection, so not sure how good the view will be if two Minis share the same monitor. If I could afford to buy another monitor, I'd do it, but now, money is tight after the purchase of my new Mini and a new MBP for my daughter who is in College (his old MB was a 2008 model, no place to upgrade more, so it's very, very slow).

  I read here that some people had problems of compatibility with El Capitan and Fusion, so I am wary of load on the new Mini. Are these problems solved?

  When you read about the problems? If you're careful, you can try merge free simply go to their web site to access the free trial version. You can also use VirtualBox which is free. I don't think that you will have problems with the virtual machine.

  Where you might have problems to run older versions of Quicken rather that perhaps in Quicken for Windows in your virtual machine running Windows or just the new version of Quicken for Mac without running a virtual machine. But I don't know much about Quicken.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Mac Pro 1.1 2006 fails installation of Mac OS x after the kernel panic

  Hi all

  A few days ago, I have known repeated panics of the kernel starting with my mac pro xeon quad core 1.1 (2006).

  It was not impossible to access the system (to the start screen kernel panic), impossible to access SafeMode (stuck at apple logo stuck charging symbol), I decided to do a clean install of the system (Lion).

  Installation is anyway impossible, because when I plug the usb with lion pen, he anyway stucks at the apple screen logo and freezes loading (the same problem also occurs if I burn image of lion uploaded on the apple store on a dvd).

  I tried the dvd and usb pen on another computer and installation went flawless.

  Then, I tried to reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, but it's always the same.

  Then I tried to do an apple hardware test (full expanded mode) and after 55 minutes of testing, he said no. PROBLEMS DETECTED.

  What I try to do?

  Thank you very much.

  I don't remember if it works in Lion, but see if you have the time to hit the keys CMD + L when the installation starts, to get a visible history of the NSO will.

• 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

  Google search shows that the 2006 come with the antenna cables. By

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Mac Pro 2006 update

  Hello!!

  I need to find answers... Have the head to point to operate!

  I realized a Mac Pro in 2006, with 32 GB with a 8800 GT for what I want to install some x 5365 processors who bought, have some videos to see where the process to have him upgrade * Yosemite or the * Capitan.

  But I have another one who is to come up with a former Nvidia 7300 efi and processors equal two, same RAM...

  The question is:

  Can I update the EFI firmware for Mac Pro works with the x 5365, 32 GB of ram and the old Nvidia 7300 with an older operating system how Lion or leopard? Or I have to blink to the graphics card or anything for it to work?

  Any explanation would be very good for me! Already, I'm a little confusedt...

  Much thanks!

  To upgrade the processor on a model 2006 to double processors with four cores, the firmware for Mac Pro 2.1 must be installed. You can not do this for profit, but if you do it for your own pleasure, no one will come after you. Watch on netkas.org for instructions.

  --------

  Do not move mac OS X through each version, except that 10.6.8 includes the Mac App Store, which is the key for all FUTURE versions. There are versions of Mac OS X up to 10.6.3 on DVD. This can be improved using software update to 10.6.8 which adds the Mac App Store. All other upgrades use downloads on the Mac app store in a certain way to get the software, which will be linked to your Apple ID.

  --------

  The original Mac Pro 1.1 and 2.1 of 2006 and 2007 were 32-bit firmware, which supports up to Mac OS X 10.7 without modification. Later, Mac OS X may be supported if you want to bad enough by adding a few hacks and firmware for 64-bit installation that runs to the backend using the 32-bit firmware as a base. It works for these old Macs (not for third party material), and each version of Mac OS X you want install requires re - apply some hacks so he can begin.

  Still, he is an amateur approach interesting, that you can use for your own pleasure. It is not supported by all, and if you encounter a problem, you can debug. Fans of report that it is fairly stable.

  Search for sfott (64 32) for a blog with the discussion of this approach.
