Cannot install OS X Mountaio Lion on Mac Pro

I try to buy OSX 10.8 from App Store and get a message telling that Mountain Lion is incompatible with my computer. My Mac Pro is bought in sept 2009, and uses 2 x Intel Xeon Quad-Core, and 15GM memory - 4 Tb disk.
Can this be true? Is my computer obsolete, even though the system requirements are met (as I can understand) ?
I have put language settings to 'Norwegian' and I live in Norway. Is there any difficulties there ?
Very happy for an answer.

  • Cannot install Final Cut Studio on new Mac Pro

    When I go to install Final Cut Studio on my new Mac Pro, it tells me that "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    I have the ATI 5870 and, just a wild guess here, I'm betting it does support Quartz Extreme.
    A software update doesn't help me here because I cannot get the software installed the first place to be able to update it. What should I do?

    FCS 1...Final Cut Pro 5.0? Won't work on an Intel. PowerPC only. You need at least 5.1...which wasn't a free upgrade, so updating won't work. You need FCP 5.1, FCP 6 or the most recent FCP 7. Those are the only versions that will work on the newer macs.

  • Can't install Bootcamp on a 4,1 Mac pro

    Greetings !
    I'm trying to install bootcamp on my 4,1 Mac pro but i'm experiencing a weird issue....
    First of all, here's the summary of the machine :
    Macpro 4,1 2x2,26ghz quad core xeon, 6gb ram, intel 335 ssd plugged in the optical drive bay, and a bluray burner...Mountain Lion is 10.8.5...I removed my 2 additional cards (a decklink HD extreme and a sonnet e-sata "tempo" controller)....I added a second drive in the bay #1 (an apple seagate 250gb which was originally in the mac pro)...
    1st weird thing : my smc version is 1.39F5....I downloaded the 1.4 (which is the latest for 4,1 MP) on Apple website but it won't install, displaying "your computer doesn't need that update"...
    2nd weird thing : I succed in launching windows ( win 7 professional 64 bits edition) installation, i can then format the volume in ntfs within the installation program....BUT...After a while it copies and expands installation files, and really starts the installation (devices detection, etc)...And that's when it hurts...I can have either a BSOD with "bugcode_driver_error" , either the computer restarts and says the installation can no longer continue and I need to start all over...I have an iMac and could install windows on it without a glitch....I tried 2 differents dvd : the windows official, and an optimized (with windows updates slipstreamed inside) a friend made...No go.....I'm gonna need a bunch of softwares on windows pretty quickly for my job....
    Do you guys have any idea ? I'm starting to run off of any fresh of 'em
    Thank you a lot in advance for your help, and happy season from Paris

    If you bought a retail copy of Tiger & are not using it for another Mac, you do hold a Tiger OS license you could transfer to your brother legally. However, your brother still will need disks that install the PPC version of the OS for it to be installed on the G4, & for troubleshooting or some maintenance tasks. Intel-specific installer disks do not meet this requirement.
    If you can document your purchase (like if you have a receipt for it from an authorized Apple dealer or the proof-of-purchase certificates) you may be able to purchase a replacement disk through Applecare.

  • Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

    Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!

    Perhaps you could offer a suggestion then.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.

  • Hey. I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all... I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any... Any solutions guys?

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely,
    Chiponn

    There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
    It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
    You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
    1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
    2) Press Next
    3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
    4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
    5) Insert USB drive
    6) Press CONTINUE
    The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
    I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
    Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
    Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

  • Installing CS5.5 on my new mac pro - what to do?

    Over the years I've purchased CS3 (boxed), CS 5 Design Premium (boxed), and CS 5.5 Design Premium (downloaded upgrade). I am ready to install 5.5 on my new mac pro. Questions:
    I had once copied some CS 5.5 dmg files to my backup drive but they appear to be only pdfs about installing, etc., not applications...so,
    Do I need to install my boxed CS5 first or is my 5.5 the complete set even though purchased as an 'upgrade'? (I see there are complete, separate CS5 and CS5.5 folders on my old mac)
    With the above info in mind, I have to re-download CS5.5 from Adobe, right? Thanks!

    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Simply install CS5.5 right away and it will ask for the previous serials for verification.
