• 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.

• Is it worth to replace a macbook pro with an old mac pro?

  I have a 13 "macbook pro mid 2012, core i5 2.5 ghz and 4 GB of RAM

  I plan to replace an old mac pro with intel xeon 3 GHz dual core or quad (maybe from 2009 or 2010) and slowly upgrade by adding more RAM, sound card, and video, etc. (I won't change the logic board)

  Computer will be used for the games, but especially for a music with logic studio Pro X (requires OS X El Capitan)

  It's worth?

  OK, now you have 2013MBP 13 inches, and you said topic you will use the computer to do some professional work as a music studio (btw, I somehow like music studio, but I could can't work on that to this life) and games.

  and now your account to replace it with a Mac Pro, which is a desktop computer, I have to say that they are in any other product, and you are already thinking on this subject, which means that you don't have to wear it around right? So, personally, I recommend the CHANGE! There?

  as you say you only have two choices, keep the macbook pro 13 "or replace with the older generation of the Mac Pro, I would say 13-inch MacBook Pro can almost do anything even the latest generation! since low-votage and integrated dual-core process just crappy graph, I don't really think its meet your needs (Audio Studio, game)

  So for you its might be interesting to replace it, but you may need to do the following to make the old gen Mac Pro more "usable".

  -Add the Ram, I remember its only accepts DDR2 ram (I think, not really sure, I have never had one of that), but get at least 16 GB of this and will be allowed to use the same sound only DDR2, you need measure the cost dedicated to Rams

  -Add the USB3.0 card. I didn't say more on this right? USB2 is somehow too crappy for now, if you need measure the cost of the USB3.0 card.

  -Probably to replace the hard drive, its massively improve loading speed if you have a fusion drive or an SSD, its depends on your own needs, if you want to do, then you need measure the cost of training you want to buy.

  -Replace the graphics card, its origin have something called AMD X 3100 or wat, really, remember its all just too old even glance at her age. and return at the time its totally new, it is not the series of cards that have the intention of game. According to the info you provided, you have need a map rendering and 3D design professional, but a card game, then you may need to replace it with more recently built AMD or Nvidia graphics card in game, try watching the series Geforce and Rasomething. and theres something that should be mentioned is the old Mac Pro motherboard, is somewhat different with PC on hardware support, so that the graphics card must take in charge the Mac EFI boot or something else. I do not see the HD7970 and the GTX7? 0 mac edition, which works perfectly after replacement, but also of boys randomly announcement that they got the PC normal edition of some cards and put it on the Mac Pro, its can't stand not EFI of Mac Pro type so that they can not see a shit only on the screen while the Startup logo should show, but once finished go , its works perfectly. That's what I've heard, I'm bloody tired and sleepy now (PLUS8 GMT) hope so I made an explanation clear outta giant paragraph. But anyway, because they have tested PC edition graphics card also works on Mac, theres a huge amount of graphics card, you can buy and before you buy, if your not sure if this does not work on Mac, just borrow one of it and test it just outside, or directly, so search for Mac guaranteed Mac-compatitable by manufacturing , you need measure the cost of this.

  -Possibly a map HiFi sound taking in charge waves and digital output since your doing audio studio, the price increases a breakfast unique price you can buy a car outta that, then choose the one you want and measure the cost.

  -the processor might be still allowed to use and the current level of normal performance, so you can just keep it, but if you want to update, of course, a position which cost.

  -The time you go to research / purchase parts/physically change/test this baby. as goes XD.

  That's essentially all you need to do if you decide to replace your MacBook Pro 13 "with the Mac Pro, the major concern is the cost of parts, other that neither that complex, just to the top, find open port, insertion/replacement material, FACT, USB3 card possible to require a driver, but all you have to do is click NEXT.

  OK, good luck pal and if you blow up your House all by improving the Mac Pro, don't tell anyone I gave you these suggestions ok? XDXD

• Mac Pro equipped with graphics cards

  (1) Apple certified repair done remarkable work or replacement of these cards, seemed as it did thousands due to schools, universities, colleges had all the problems that I did.

  (2) now did the-d option to initialize the data sent to Apple and have assigned Senior Adviser.

  (3) most recent problem is error codes and system dead slow on my second Mac Pro 6 hearts. Now, does not see my Amd hardware, which is extremely strange to say the least.

  (4) 2 weeks no words or calls returned Senior Advisor, still more serious delays to write make some income with new Mac Pro.

  (5) what did not work is not, the example is iMovie stutters sound.

  (6) final Cut Pro sound of of synk

  (7) k video from my new iPad Pro 4 who made 4 K video sent to dump not recognized on Mac Pro system after that reminder of graphics cards has been made.

  so waiting for words from Apple on the d option played 4 times.

  Nope... but... all I can do is give you my experience. I got a G5 liquid that had major failure 3 times (was under AppleCare) and has been replaced with a Mac pro. I guess you have tried the usual, killer stuff pram resetting the PMU, trying to reinstall and update the operating system and various applications to this topic and all that, and... nothing. Apple does not read or respond to these forums, cmdrDenis, this place is strictly a user forum, and that's all. Save all your receipts, paperwork, document as much as you can and when you talk to Apple or an adviser, be polite, but pragmatic.  Screaming, yelling, Ranting and raving you will get very far.  If you go to apple.com/feedback and leave a comment there, someone can get back to you. Call the main line from Apple can be useful too, but about what, when and how

  I can't say. Apple * may *, in its sole discretion, replace a machine that has had too many major repairs, or repair, but it's Apple to do.  Maybe if you call your local Apple place, explain the situation calmly and kindly and ask to speak to another senior consultant or Manager, perhaps they can help you.

• 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.

• 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.

• I would like to replace my system disk.  Have a Mac Pro 2010, 4 drive bays

  My system disk is full and I can't put more on it 320.  It is a Mac Pro 2010, with 4-Bay.  I could put a larger capacity drive in one of the other berries, but I don't know how to transfer the info on the old drive to the new.  If I use Migration Asst, it will keep the permissions for music software, etc.?

  Also, I have a Mac Pro 2010 and moved my system from one disk to another. In my case, I moved from 10.7.5 on a drive of 1 GB to 1 Bay for a 512 GB SSD on a map of drive SATA PCIe 2.0 6-Gb/s.

  There are probably several ways to do what you think. However, as I have not used the Apple Migration Assistant personally, I don't think I can answer your question with absolute certainty if it will keep your permissions for music software and so will leave it to someone else who has experience with its use.

  But I can gives you two ways that may be useful: One is if you already want to back up your system using Apple Time Machine drive, you can restore the backup to a new larger drive. The other would be to buy a program to copy such as SuperDuper! ($28) ou Carbon Copy clone ($40) and they can clone your drive system on a new drive. I've built a number of backup copies (10.7.5, 10.8, 10.10) for different purposes (development, experimentation, downsizing to re - purpose a 1 or 2 GB drive for something else...) With a Mac Pro and 4 Bay, you have a lot of flexibility.

  Hope that helps.

• Mac Pro 5.1 kicking circuit breaker

  I recently bought a Mac Pro 5.1 12 core to replace my Mac Pro 4.1 8 cores. No one knows if these attract a lot more power than article 4.1? It seems my breaker this time every so often. Never had this problem with the 4.1.

  I should add that it was very dirty inside when I got it. A lot of fluff as he had been on a treadmill. I took the processor board and blowing lint. Not him did not a throughout the cleaning again.

  A 12 core will draw more power than a core 8 but only a little more, unless all the cores are loaded.

  What is running when the circuit breaker trip?

  What else is on the same circuit as the Mac?

• 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.

• Mac Pro keeps stopping, lightweight CPU a / b overtemp on

  I bought a used Apple Mac Pro 2.1 in December.  I use it mainly for editing my photos on Adobe PS, using filter of camera RAW.  The unit never gave me any problems, until early last week.  Here are the specs:

  | 8-CORE 3.0Ghz (2 x Quad-Core)

  | 32 GB OF RAM

  | 250 GB SSD

  | V RAM OF 4 GB GTX-680

  | Double BONE - El Capitan (primary) and Yosemite on two separate boot disks.

  All started early last week, with an error screen when I open an CR2 on Adobe PS file.  I got this message...

  "Camera Raw has temporarily disabled acceleration graphics processor because of the error." Update your graphics card driver may solve the problem. "Choose the option 'Use the graphics processor' in the dialog box Camera Raw prefer to re - enable GPU support.

  In 5 minutes, I when preferences and choose 'use the graphics processor', then continued my work.  Subsequently, the Mac suddenly stops without any warning whatsoever! No message, no noise from the tower itself, the power light remained.  I then turned off the power.  I waited for a minute and he went back on.  The password screen, it would be closed again.

  I then let the rest of the machine for 30-45 minutes, removed any buildup of dust inside using compressed air and turned on the unit return to perform minor troubleshooting. as well as other "light work" to avoid an overload of the system... He will stop in 35 minutes to turn on the machine.

  Still, I unplugged everything (including the power cord) to reinstall the two riser cards. I powered the Mac with the access panel open, to keep an eye on something unusual.  All fans are smooth running, no sign of problems.  Until I updated the driver (Nvidia Cuda) GPU, the machine will stop again in 10 minutes!  Frustrated, I opened the side panel to only discover, both red lights (CPU A / B) on the section of the overheating of the logic board.  After the recharge time, I restarted the MAC and ran a tempature monitor I have installed.  I noticed the radiator of the Northbridge turned very quickly when I was running Adobe PS, please refer to the picture I have attached.

  

  I have no idea what to do next.  I'm not sure if I need a replacement PSU, or something else entirely.  Pointers, help and/or advice.  I greatly appreciate it!

  Remove all external and off devices, disconnect all external cables

  Check your GPU for dust/dirt/creep (where it "fits" of the socket), you can remove it but when undertaking this make sure that you are properly grounded at all times and the components are put in static free containers, then clean the inside of the computer with compressed air ensuring that you damage the connectors not blowing the white point.

  Replace the GPU and follow the instructions to reset the SMC.

• Problem of memory Mac Pro 3.1

  Hello

  I have a Mac Pro 3.1. 16 GB of ram in it, but sometimes only see 14FR.

  8 x 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

  What could be the problem? Sometimes you see all the memory and sometimes not.

  

  2006-2008 (1.1 - 3.1) use FBDIMM that work how and fail over time.

  When they fail if all goes well, they don't disappear that you encounter. Often, they fail when you access and which can cause a kernel panic.

  Sometimes the resettlement of the affected module solves the problem, but often this fix is only temporary and the module must be replaced.
