Well, there are tricks in the Internet to install OS X Mavericks in that computer based on the use of emulators (because you cannot run OS X Mavericks due to your Mac firmware). However, they are risky and illegal, and we cannot provide support for them.
Instead, you can only upgrade your Mac Pro to OS X Lion officially > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
Mac OS X 10.5.8
MacPro1,1
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
OpenCL
requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
Thank you for any help and/or information !Dalfe wrote:

It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it. -
I own a MAC Pro 3,1 (early 2008) and am running Mavericks 10.9.3 with no problems. I would like to add an I/O card to add USB 3 functionality or ESATA functionality but am unable to find a compatible card. As such my question...can I do this and if so what is the best card?
Thank youHave you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Im wondering what is the most GB of hard drive space I can have in my Mac Pro? The Apple representative on the phone said I could only do 8GB? Is this correct? I was thinking about maybe getting 3Tb internal hard drives, but that would exceed the limit apple representative said of a total of 8GB hard drive max?
Did I miss something?Did I miss something?
Yes, what does "GB" refer to here? Is it hard drives or memory dimms?
If it's hard drives you can put any size SATA drive in your mac pro drive bays.
If it's memory dimms refer to OWC's charts for your model to see what you can add. So for a 5,1 (2010 Mac Pro) you could fill the slots with 8GB dimms. -

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...
You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported. -
Mac Pro 2007 can't upgrade to Yosemite
Hi
I am unable to upgrade to Yosemite. Is it possible or do I have to give away my Mac Pro 2007 and get a new one?
Please advice.
Thanks!Start here:

After download and before running do some housekeeping:
Make a Lion installer (this is for flash but I used a small partition on another disk drive to be faster)
http://liondiskmaker.com/
I recommend installing on another drive, formatted with Lion Installer.
Now would be an excellent time for an SSD. Other than using a 2.5" adapter don't feel there is anything special EXCEPT to install TRIM Enabler.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/
The SSD was the biggest improvement in 8 yrs. The XP941 would be faster and leave you with 4 drive bays.

Is the only PCI device that boots all Mac Pro models, does not use a 'controller' only an adapter to use M.2 style in PCIe (and unique to Mac Pro that it will boot while PCs X99 still have new BIOS our 8+ year old EFI works, something that cannot be said for Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD card and others).
Just a hint and push into the world of SSD

Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?
Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?
Thank you.No.
The entire enclosure is tuned for both external jack placement, EMI-RFI radiation, airflow, and for cooling. You need exactly the correct shell and fans for the electronics you wish to install in it. -
Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive?
Hello.
Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive? OS=Windows or Linux or BSD or MacOS... I know it is bios specific on a PC if the option is available. If this is possible, does anyone have a link to instructions?
Thanks,
ScottNot to get in to an argument over semantics here, but by saying "Windows should boot if you have installed the requisite Boot Camp drivers," you are implying "that the Boot Camp drivers [are] needed for Windows to boot." I was just clarifying your post so people didn't get confused.
As for booting a Mac Pro off a USB flash drive, if you have been successful in doing so, can you share with me your method? I've tried booting of an OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive and it's never worked on my Mac Pro. It doesn't show up when I hold option down and if I try to boot through rEFIt, I get an error about my Mac's firmware not supporting USB booting (I have the latest firmware installed, too). I've tried GPT and MBR partitions, both to no avail. Booting off USB hard disk drives is no problem though. And I can boot off this flash drive on a Core Duo iMac.
Any ideas? -
can i sync my mac pro with my mac book? i mainly want to do this for iTunes and iPhoto? I also have an iPad and an iPhone.
Do you have a local network setup either wired or wireless? If so, then have both computers connected to the network. Enable File Sharing on both computers in Sharing preferences. Select the startup drive on each computer. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the box labeled, Shared Folder.
You can now keep both computers in sync by using a third-party backup/sync utility that will work with a network setup such as:
Data Backup
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
Synchronize Pro! X
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?
can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?
The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
US English
Western Spanish
French
Japanese
... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes. -
I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems. -
Belkin Bluetooth not working in Mac Pro 2007
Hi,
I've got a Mac pro 2007 and bought a Belkin Mini Bluetooth adapter via the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/nl/product/TW622ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY). I was hoping if I bought something from the Apple store It would work.
The mini adapter seems to work, Look at screenshot https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598441276491332930 Apologize for the dutch screenprint, but the mark before "Detecteerbaar" can be translated by "detectable".
But if I look at the system preferences I see this: https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598441278085536498 Translated it means Bluetooth is disabled. To use bluetooth you need to enable it. But both checks are grey and I cant change anything in this screen.
I did a check (without the belkin mini bluetooth adapter) on my Mac Book and it detects my Nokia telephone.
Using the Belkin mini bluetooth adapter in my Mac Pro it does not pickup any bluetooth signal.
I also tried to do a PRAM reset in my Mac Pro, but that doesn't change anything.
In the system overview (about this mac) https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598442444721135026 it looks like the adapter is working. But from my experience it is not working.
Is there anyone else who got this adapter working? Would love to use my magic mouse with it.
Thank you in advance for helping.
AndreProblem solved!
I just found an interesting article here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13263724#13263724
The part with bluetooth explorer worked for me.
I can see all my bluetooth devices now including my magic mouse. -
