• Problem with MacPro, early 2008 gel

  Help, please... I have a MacPro early 2008. I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.

  Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad - Core Intel Xeon

  Memory 8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics

  The question I have is this: my Mac freezes market throughout the day. It seems to happen after that, I was on the internet, especially if I use FireFox, (43.0.4) and download anything. I downloaded Photoshop backgrounds, brushes, photo galleries, fonts, etc.

  I had two things happen that could have caused this:

  ) I tried some software of compression of pdf via the internet, and it would break my system after some pressure.

  (2.) the battery backup on my Mac doesn't have a couple of times and has my Mac completely down. It is a professional unit of size, so I guess that something is wrong with her.

  Before my Mac freezes, Illustrator starts responding very slowly. Finally, it crashes and I have to make a hard stop at the CPU. Sometimes my monitors (double cinema) will stop as well.

  Once I have restart the Mac, then creative cloud will launch and ask me to connect even though I don't have it running before the accident. Generally the crash will also Suitcase Fusion 4 to fail, and I have to rebuild the base FM.

  Someone suggested that I have buy Bitdefender and see if I picked up some malware. I only did this for the moment. I'm not running any security software other than keep my security Mac update through software updates.

  I hope that someone has ideas on what could be causing these issues, I can try and how to solve problems.

  Thank you very much!

  -Probably the graphics card is a failure. What happens to 2600 XT aftertime.

  -You can try to open the cover side and ensuring that fans turn freely and are free of dust. Blow dust if necessary.

  -In addition, install an app like Mac Fan Control fan speed and temperature to see if something is overheating because this may cause monitoring freezes.

  -Also

  • Note the time of the next frost. After the reboot, open the Console app in Finder > Applications > utilities and look for entries of the log at the time of freezing. Suspicious message here.

  Search before the journal entry that begins with BOOT_TIME since it is the first line of a start-up.

  1. I have an ATI Radeon 5770 1 Slot PCIe (I have concerns everything) and a 120 GB OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCI Express high performance SSD with eSATA expansion Ports - these are not esata port multiplier. I'm not sure what to do with these, they are 6GBs ports. I was thinking about a work drive raid 0 to a port with a couple of SSDS too adequate or sufficient (not sure what size here). I'm owner also already ST2000DM001 of Seagate 2 disc HARD Barracuda 2 TB SATAII 6 GB-s technology 7200 RPM drive naked cover brand new in packaging.

  2. my berries are full of old records.  My system and applications are on a 500GB - I have a 1 to filled with photoshop psd for the most part - files (I just read that it is best to keep the TIFF files as non-compressed and I wonder if my psd files saved can hurt convert tiff files), a 1 TB partitioned into 800 MB for the current photoshop files and 200 for personal documents files I have the original 320 GB I was using as a small raid 0 dedicated to the photoshop file I had open and stops. the 120 GB in the Accelsior of mercury, can I use as a scratch disk. This screwy configuration is in response to my external LaCie recently dying (it's what I wa using machines - (this player been gave me, even though I know better than to buy whatever it is named lacie) I have everything backed up on bluray but I am aware of the precariousness of my set-up.) I have a bootable mavericks and a yosemite bootable on flash drives, but I'm very nervous about my situation as a whole.

  3. so I have a lot of options, not a lot of money and a lot of confusion about the best thing to do now... I need a sustained speed - once is not only fast open - more that I need disk space.

  I am considering:

             purchasing some enterprise hdd on sale (5 x 500GB to 1Tb HDD) and putting them in externally in a safe raid for Time Machine connected to a                firewire 800 port, or I could purchase 2 large 3GBs ssd's and put them in raid1 in my spare optical bay for time machine and then transfer offsite at                regular intervals for storage ( I would transfer the other Time Machine option offsite as well).
            that I will make a fusion with the 120GB and a new HDD for system and put it on the other external esata to take advantage of the 6 GBs. I am                wondering if the size of the HDD would make a significant difference in performance speed. I am also wondering if doing a clean install of yosemite                on a this new fusion drive and then migrating some info from the current system disk would be a good idea, or if a new download of El Capitan                would be best.
            i also need to buy a USB3.0 PCIe card for a couple of peripherals - with each port  powered. - so that also opens up some speed possibilities.

  This graphics card is quite recent and was meant to be compatible with my system - but I do not understand why it is distributed as is and it seems that there is no driver installed on one of the splits. I have not found much info and will contact the customer, but I wonder if anyone has seen this issue.

  I think that the size of your existing disks is actually one of your bottlenecks, so I kinda disagree with your idea that you need speed, more space. Adobe apps like chunks of free space for the use of work records and caches. Your installation seems also too complicated.

  Fast large capacity disks are pretty cheap these days. You can get a TB 6 for $200 Toshiba and put it in a good external enclosure. Also, you should be able to install a HDD 4 TB within a Mac Pro 2008, preferably WD Black or HGST. A good pen for a 4 biggest external to cost in the neighborhood of $75, OWC.

  I don't would not invest in a bunch of young readers, whether they are readers "business" or not.

• 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.

• Old MacPro cannot run the latest update to iTunes

  I have an old MacPro 1.1 running OS X 10.6.8 I want to put my music on a new iPod Touch, I just bought and it says I can't because my software does not support the latest version of iTunes. Download another operating system that will allow me to use this iPod? I just tried El Capitan and it says that my computer will not support it.

  iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

• El Capitan on MacBook (early 2008 White paste) 4.1

  Hi all

  I just want to preface this post by specifying that I'm completely new in the Mac game. I googled my problem and did not find a similar problem. But I'm sorry in advance if I am not good enough.

  That being said, I recently acquired an Early 2008 model works perfectly MacBook (white 4.1). I bought a Solid State Drive and 4 GB of RAM for it and plan on installing these elements as soon as I have time.

  So my question is the following (also insert TL;) DR here):

  Is it possible to start later OS versions like Yosemite or El Capitan on the Early 2008 MacBook 4,1? Whether with force or by conventional means?

  I understand that Apple doesn't "support" of later versions of Mac OS X on this model. I would like to just use that as my driver all day, and I can't do with an obsolete OS.

  Thank you!

  I try to upgrade OS 10.6.8 to something higher and keep sent around in circles, literally.  I'd be happy with Yosemite, but App store says is no longer available.  I'd be happy with El Capitan, but can't seem to get there.  Is a disk available?

  There is no available disk, it is ONLY available via download. Perhaps if you provided a fuller description of what happens when you try to download which could help. In addition, please be sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements required for El Capitan who are VERY VERY:

  General requirements

  • 4 GB memory
  • 8.8 GB of available storage
  • Some features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.
  • Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; charges may apply.

• Audio system on MacPro early does not.

  A symbol of the "oblique/circle bar" appears on the screen when I press the volume to the top or to the bottom of the key.  I just reinstalled Yosemite after an accident on my MacPro (2008). Everything else works fine.

  Hello BoxerDesign,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand your message when you press the volume keys upwards or downwards that you see a bar oblique/circle symbol appear on the display of your Mac Pro. I know how it is important for you to be able to adjust the volume. I recommend that you follow the steps in the article I linked for you below to resolve this issue:

• El Capitan with old Mac Pro update

  I have an Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 2012 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I am reluctant to give up the thing because I have 4 Bay SATA I can use to easily swap drives.

  Running the latest version of Yosemite, the computer may appear VERY slow, especially when a background (backups, indexing of Spotlight) task are underway.  Clean caches helps some, for a while, then it gets pretty slow again.

  Can anyone share some thoughts on what upgrade to El Capitan might do? I had read that it is largely an improvement in the performance of Yosemite, it seems as if it might give me a boost in performance. However, each successive OS update saw things slow further.

  Then, add more RAM would help things?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  If Yosemite is slow, then you must fix before attempting to upgrade. Make a backup or your system, then wipe the drive and install a new copy of Yosemite or El Capitan.

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it. Upgrade directly to El Capitan.

• After the upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan color is overly rosy on display Acer P215H

  After reclassification of Yosemite to El Capitan mac mini, the color is too pink Acer P215H on-screen.  Color display was fine before the installation of the El Capitan.

  More info.

  Color started too blue, but changed to excessively pink when I shook the DVI cable connector to VGA in port thunderbolt.

  I wear glasses with progressive lenses.  The amount of extra pink varies with the angle of view as if the tint darkening of the glasses is filtering some of the additional rose; but the colors are still never real; In addition, the glasses are not a problem with Yosemite.
