Installing X11 on Mac Pro with 10.4.8

I just got my Mac Pro and tried to install X11 1.1.2 from the mac site. However I get an error message saying that it cannot be installed on my drive because new software is already installed. However my system is brand new with no X11 installed. Thanks for any help.

I think you have to have the original one installed before you can upgrade (which you might want to avoid unless you have need for stereographics display and a CRT and stereo emitter to make use of it).
You can download the original one from this site if you can't find it on your install DVD in the optional install packages.

  • How do I do a clean install on my mac pro with snow leopard?

    I got a Ssd drive, I did a carbon copy from my old drive, it was running Great, but now it's freezing how do I reinstall snow leopard , ive tryed booting from disc but won't work don't know what too do plZ help.

    Corrupt directory and damage are best handled by booting from another hard drive with latest OS, latest Disk Utility, and ultimately, with SuperDuper.
    In some cases it is best to clone and repair, then restore back to original, in this case your SSD.
    Just as important, to find out why.
    Is it the make/model and firmware of the SSD?
    Is it known issue with that model?
    Are you using Crucial, OWC, what brand?

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

    Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.
    The developer needs to create the two versions separately.

  • Mac Pro with no airport card installed

    I have a Mac Pro with no airport card installed....Can I just purchase an Airport express and connect by ethernet to the Mac pro.... I use Air port Extreme as my router for other computers

    Yes, this is referred to as a ProxySTA in the business.
    HOWEVER, this only became available with the 802.11n Express. I haven't yet seen it OFFICIAL if the new second generation still supports ProxySTA. I'm a bit hesitant to say yes, because the new express leans a little closer to the Extremes which work quite differently.  (haven't had time to test this yet myself)
    I'm curious, why you don't just run an ethernet from your extreme to your Pro... I'm guessing because of the distance?

  • Mac Pro with x1900xt  Screen keeps flashing to black???

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone else has had the problem, of your screen, going to black then coming back intermittingly. I just got my Mac Pro with an ati x1900xt and I'm connected to a Dell 30in screen. I have it connected to the left port nearest the side of the case. Has anyone else had this problem and got it fixed? I've tried everything, from switching cables, monitors, and I have updated all the software... can anyone help me here?
    Thank you.

    Mac Pro 3ghz ati1900 4gig ram 500gig HD   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am having similar problems with my new Mac Pro 3GHz with ATI X1900 XT.
    I have a Dell 2405FPW (24") as my primary monitor, and a Dell 2001FP (20") as my secondary monitor. Both are connected via DVI.
    If I plug in the 24" into port 1 and the 20" into port 2, I see correct video on the 24", but a black screen on the 20". If I change resolution from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 on the 20", I get video on the 20". I can then change resolution back to 1600x1200 and retain video on both monitors. However, if I turn the 20" monitor off, when I turn it back on, it is black again, and stays that way unless I do the resolution change again. Note that the monitor detects a signal, different from when there is no signal at all - it is getting a black picture, and that's what it's displaying. This happens with a fresh out of the box install of Mac OS X, as I did a clean install on another partition to troubleshoot it.
    Now, here's where it gets interesting. If I swap the connections - 24" to port 2 and 20" to port 1, keeping the 24" with the menu bar, then I get video on both monitors. However, I get black picture on both monitors during the entire boot sequence and do not see video until the login window appears. I can turn the monitors off and on after that point and continue to retain video. So, that's the setup I'm using, even though it is not ideal to not be able to see anything before the login window.
    On a possibly related note, if I start X11, the X11 server takes over the entire display, showing a gray checkerboard pattern as the background with no menu bar, no dock, nothing other than an xterm visible and accessible. If I command-Q, it will quit X11 and everything returns. It's like the X11 window manager is taking over and not merging with the Mac OS X desktop.
    It seems like the ATI drivers and/or Mac Pro firmware and/or Mac OS X have some bugs to be worked out.

  • Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

    Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
    I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

    Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
    And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install  - on another drive.
    Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
    ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.
