Has anyone installed Mavericks on an older (circa 2006 or 2007) Mac Pro 1.1 ?

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on an older Mac Pro desk top.
Needing to upgrade Adobe Lightroom 3 to LR 5 and it requires OS 10.7 or higher.
Apple's specs for Mavericks call for a Mac Pro 2008 or newer.
Has anyone successfully installed Mavericks on an older Mac Pro?

Yah. But just try booting a MacOS volume that you have forgotten to install the driver in. Yikes!
I will be installing Snow Leopard on Friday. That won't be a sensible thing for anyone to attempt if a GTX-285 is fitted in the computer.
I have taken the precaution of reinstalling my 8800GT to permit a trouble-free Snow install.
If I knew Snow will install a GTX-200 series driver there would have been no need to do this. But I have no indication that Apple's new OS will support the new card. I hope it does.
Even if it does, the latest EVGA/nVidia driver for the MacOS is awful, nothing like the WindowsXP driver's superb performance. I do a lot with 3D entertainment, games and Second Life. Using those with the GTX-285 in the MacOS is torture. MacOSX drivers for both the 8800GT and the GTX-285 are terrible when running Second Life in comparison to Windows versions on both those cards.
Currently, the 8800GT is a far better card than the GTX-285 is in 10.5.8 for Second Life.
Will Snow address those driver concerns? We'll know soon enough.

Has anyone installed Lion on mid-2007 MacBook?

I have a mid-2007 MacBook that I have not yet installed Lion on. Has anyone installed it on a similar MacBook? If so, how does it run?
I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, so I am familar with it. I am just curious if it will be really slow on the MacBook.
Thanks.
Thom

I think it depends on what you need to do with the computer. I have a 2007 black macbook with 4gb ram. Most stuff works ok, although everything is noticeably slower. But some stuff, Aperture in particular, barely work at all - aperture is almost unuseably slow. So be forewarned! And please, don't believe anyone who says it'll run just as well as snow leopard - it doesn't.

OK this was fixed by unistalling McAfee Privacy Service. No idea why disabling the Privacy Service didnt work...

Has anyone installed 9i for Solaris8(for SPARC) on Solaris8- X86 (for Intel)

Has anyone installed 9i (9.0.1.1) on solaris8-X86 (intel). I know it is not available on the Oracle website for download. I was wondering if anyone has tried installing the sparc version on Intel.
I have done the same for 8i but don't know if it can be done for 9i.
Thanks

I know this seems silly, but an "eval" version of 9i for Solaris Intel was available from the Oracle Store for the cost of the media. I have also found when I went from Solaris 8 10/01 to Solaris 8 02/02 that 9i came with the OS for the Sparc. I haven't upgraded my Intel boxes yet so I don't know if the same trick applies!
Not quite what you asked, but....

Has anyone installed the GIMP?

Has anyone installed the GIMP on their iBook? I have a couple questions because of the way their site is worded:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
In the requirements section are they just explaining why it doens't run on version 9 or earlier? It almost makes it sound like you have to go download that stuff (which is why I feel stupid for asking this). :-/
This site, http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ , which is the first site they list on the places to get GIMP, makes it sound like the application there is all you have to download, except for the extra install from the OS X Install Disk. Would that be all I needed?
I'd love to have this program on my iBook, so if anyone who has installed it could walk me through it, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
I myself have not tried GIMP.app because I have lost the urge to use X11. In order to use it, you will to download X11 from your OS X disk and install X11; not to be confused with X11SDK. I bet you can find a bunch of GIMP and X11 users in Mac OS X Technologies > Unix forum.
You may want to look at this previous post.

Has anyone installed the new firmware?

Has anyone installed the new firmware yet? And have you noticed any issues with it? I'm weary of installing Apple's firmware updates after how terrible the last one was (I'm sure everyone remembers the hdd hangs). Also, Apple's trackpad update was terrible as well for the first few weeks it was out.

Because I was one of the users affected last time.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10416721#10416721
Not just a tiny amount of people. Lots of people had this issue. Firmware downgrade is what solved it, until Apple released an upgrade of the upgrade. I just wanted to check if anyone was having issues with this firmware before I upgraded.
And I'm not sure why people are getting so offended. It's a simple question of "did upgrading to the new firmware screw up your computer", and requires a yes or a no answer. The last two times I installed an update it messed with my computer, so it makes sense for me to be weary. You would be as well if you were in the same situation. And I have not yet heard anything about this firmware, but I haven't had time to check out what people have said. I'm in med school and I'm usually fairly busy.

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Hi Linda,
Unplugging it from AC power will drain the PRAM Battery in short order, thereby losing setting, like Monitor resolution.
You can test the Pram Battery by disconnecting from the Internet so Date/Time doesn't update before you see it, shutdown, unplug AC for a bit, startup & check Time.
In Sys Pefs>Displays, can you set the resolution?

I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 and I want to replace a drive and install Lion

I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 with dual core intel 2.66 with 13 GB ram. I want to replace my startup disk 250GB (which has all my apps) but has been lagging ( I thinks it's an original drive) with the new HD in bay 2 (4 T drive) which I installed this week. I tried to install lion onto it and it said I needed a newer version 10.7.3-I have time machine as my backup on an external. All the bays are full and I'd like to trade them out sooner or later to get more room for movies, etc. The last OSX disk I have is Snow Leopard and that was rejected as not new enough. Can someone help me with info on installing Lion on the new drive. I know how to make it the startup disk after, but I can't seem to load 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 (not supported on my older mac pro.) Thanks,
ANNE Z

Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

How do I instal Omron blood pressure monitor soft wear on my Mac pro when the soft wear supplied only refers to Windows

How do I instal a Omron blood pressure monitor on to my Mac Pro.It came with an installation softwear that is only compatable with Windows.I have contacted Omron and they inform me that it should be possible using Bootcamp.How do I do this.I am using Lion OX.

Basically, the software Omrom uses is made by Microsoft and will only run on Microsoft Windows. There are two ways to run it on your Mac Pro, both require a copy of Microsoft Windows. Option one is to use Boot Camp, which sets aside a section of your hard drive to use for an installation of Windows. Once installed, you can then boot to Windows rather then OS X. The other option is to use something like VMWare Fusion to run Windows on top of OS X. A quick Google search has confirmed that the Omrom software has no issues running in VMWare.
In my opinion, VMWare is a simpler option. But it does require purchasing the VMWare Fusion software as well as a copy of Windows (I think they sell a bundled version of VMWare that includes Windows).

Anyone have a solution to why Illustrator CC crashes on Mac Pro running OS 10.6.8?

Anyone have a solution to why Illustrator CC crashes on Mac Pro running OS 10.6.8?

We recently (yesterday) upgraded our Adobe apps to CC versions. InDesign, Photoshop and Bridge all run perfectly. Illustrator crashes at startup. Tried launching it from Administrator account and it crashes. I have disabled fonts except the bare minimum, no success. If it would launch, then I might be able to narrow it down to an incompatible print driver, but it has to actually be running first. We use no third party plugins with it, so I doubt that is the issue.

Installing windows (7 or XP or 8) on to mac pro 1,1 gives gray screen

When installing windows (7, XP or 8) on to my mac pro 1,1 I just get a gray screen and the windows disk spins for a while and then stops spinning. I've tried every version of windows, 32bit and 64bit versions and retail and non-retail disks but no luck it hangs on boot every time. I've tried Goggling the problem to find a solution but no one else seems to have the same problem as I have. Any advice on fixing the problem would be great.
