Is it possible to install os x 10.7 on a mac pro 1,1? If so, where can i get 10.7?

Your computer is compatible with Lion but not with Mountain Lion.
First, make a backup of your files. Then, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Before upgrading to Lion, check if your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

Is it possible to use an R9 270x GPU in a Mac Pro 1,1?

I'm trying to install a XFX R9 270x in a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006 Model #A1186).... The machine doesn't currently have any OS installed, but I'm trying to boot and install off of a live USB of Snow Leopard (10.6)... After some research, it seems like this card is definitely supported out-of-the-box with later models of Mac Pro and later Operating Systems, but I haven't been able to find anything about trying to run it with anything as early as 10.6 on a 1,1. (I know it's supported natively in 10.9).
Currently the machine powers on fine, but no screen image. Diagnostic LEDs on the logic board all appear normal except the "GPU present" LED does not light. I've already tried troubleshooting by installing the GPU in a different PCI-E slot and switched out the GPU for another, identical one...
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to get this card working with this board? I'd be extremely grateful for any possible solution... (Even if it requires booting from a different GPU and installing drivers, updated OS, etc)....

I don't now about that card, but I got a Mac Pro with a Radeon HD 7950 in it, Disc was included with Mac drivers for 10.7/10.8/10.9, said not supported in 10.6, well 10.7/8/9/10 didn't need the drivers.
Tried booting off my Retail 10.6.3 Install Disc... same as you blank screen, & disappointing because 10.6 is better than the 4 later ones put together!
Anyway, cloned a 10.6.8 install to an external drive... sure enough it booted with great video in 10.6.8, so maybe 10.6.8 for you?

How can I install Windows7 -64BIT on a 1st Generation Mac Pro 2.66GHZ Quad?

Hi,
I posted this in Bootcamp but haven't received any replies so I am reposting it here where perhaps it really belongs.Is it possible to install Windows 7 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro 2.66Ghz?
Apple suggests that it's not possible and yet I've seen several Googled posts where the users have successfully installed 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro. The problem is that they've done this creating a bootable iso disk(whatever that is) using a Windows computer with imgburn and windows commands. I'm pretty good at following instructions but I haven't seen any instructions on how to install Windows 7 on this machine using a Mac based approach.
I'm using BootCamp and was able to partition the drive into NFTS and "proceed" with installation; however all the installations failed during setup and Windows would not boot; disk repair was not possible. Besides, from what I've gathered, 32 bit is problematic around memory issues.
When I try installing 64 bits, I never get past the "select cd rom 1 or 2" message where the keyboard won't work. It is at this point where others say they have successfully proceeded with moving forward by creating a bootable iso disk.
Problem is it's all Windows based with exe files and presupposes I already have Windows running.
I'm not sure I really understand how to create an iso disk, but I do have ROXIO TOAST 10 which is capable of burning "ISO" disks.Does anyone know how to do this and/or can you point me to a place where there are instructions on how to proceed?? While I realize Apple says that some mid 2006 mac pros aren't supported, there are multiple posts of windows 7 users successfully installing Windows 7 on a 1st Generation Mac Pro.
Thanks.
Mac Pro 2.66GHZ Quad Core

I have a March 2009 Mac Pro dual quad core running Win7 Pro 64 bit. I have Windows installed on a dedicated internal hard drive. There are no partitions, the entire drive is for Windows use.
Here's how I installed it, I did not start with BootCamp. Make sure the drive you're going to use for Windows doesn't have any important files on it because it will be formatted.
1. Update Snow Leopard
2. Place the Windows cd in the Super Drive
3. Shut down the computer
4. Remove all the hard drives except the one you want Windows installed on. Keep track of the order they are in and at the end replace them in the same order.
5. Boot the computer holding down the Option key
6. Boot to the Windows cd
7. Install Windows and format the drive to NTFS
8. When Windows needs to restart during installation you'll need to hold the Option key and boot to Windows, not the Windows cd.
9. After Windows installs, place your Snow Leopard disc in the Super Drive
10. The Drivers for Windows will be installed along with a Windows version of BootCamp.
11. Go to Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update
12. Update again until it's done.
13. You'll also find a BootCamp under Control Panel, check it out.
14. Shut down the computer and replace the hard drives in their original order
14. Now if you turn on the computer it will boot to Snow Leopard, but if you hold the Option key during boot you can select Windows or Mac.

It appears to me that you would need a boot device with 10.5.6 already installed, and to NOT be running any Westmere features (such as 6-core processors) to have any hope. Also, drivers for 5770 and 5870 first appeared in 10.6.5, so getting your displays to work may be tough.
Custom 10.6.4 or "Full Retail" 10.6.5 is much more likley to succeed.

Can I install a Lacie D2 Drive in my Mac Pro

newbie question, sorry!
I have a Lacie D2 500 gig external drive that has crapped out on me. I was told that it could be possible that the enclosure is the problem and not the drive itself. If I take the drive out of its enclosure can I install it in one of the Bays in the mac pro?
thanks

It could just be the dead/defective power adapter Lacie seems to be a known for. Before you crack the drive open, i would strongly recommend that you test it with a known, working power adapter. Perhaps a friend with the same drive? If you're lucky, i've seen some of the Lacie drives set up in Apple Retail Stores, and perhaps an employee might let you test your drive there. Worst case scenario, you could order a new adapter which will set you back $19.00.

4 Questions re installing a second Optical Drive in a Mac Pro (Harpertown)

For years I have owned and used a Sony DRX-810UL-T optical drive as an external unit with my Mac Pro "Harpertown" purchased on February 19, 2009. It was connected to the computer using the firewire cable and it worked correctly.
Some Background
Today it dawned on me I had an empty optical drive bay in the Mac Pro so I should move the Sony drive in there and eliminate a bit of the clutter on my computer desk. I read the section on installing optical drives in the little Apple manual that came with my computer but it only discussed a single drive installation.
Checked on line and found several sources describing how to do this and a couple of YouTube videos also showing how to do this. (Oddly only one of the videos mentioned the need for plugging in the power cable).
I made sure I plugged the cables into the proper units as both had helpful legends on them indicating which was for the top drive and which was for the bottom drive.
After installation I powered up and found neither drive would appear.
Checked the About this Mac item in the Apple menu and got confirmation that the system didn't see any drives. Opened the computer again and unplugged the Sony's power and data cables then closed the computer and fired up again.
The original Super Drive again appeared and worked correctly.
The Questions:
1. Since the Super drive came with the Mac Pro and was in the top space can I assume it needed to stay there and not get moved to the lower space?
2. Since the Sony DRX-810UL-T has the correct connectors does this indicate this drive can be used with the Harpertown Mac Pro?
3. If it can, did I miss setting some jumpers? I noticed both drives have one jumper in place but each appears to be in a slightly different spot than the other.
4. Since the Sony drive worked correctly with my current OS (10.6.6) using the firewire cable can I assume it does not need a firmware update to be used internally.
Wrap up
Since the original Super Drive is working properly I am sure I did no damage to it or the computer. It would be nice to be able to get the Sony DVD drive to work internally, however.
Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can offer some help with this situation.

hatter,
Thank you for this added information. Here's the current status of things.
Just to check that the Sony drive would work internally I disconnected the superdrive (ata cable and power cable) and made the Sony drive the only drive plugging it in as if it was the top drive. The jumper for it was set to cable select.
The Profiler found it and listed is in both the ATA section and the disc burner section.
I checked the jumper on the superdrive to be sure it was also set for cable select and plugged both drives back in using the top connections for the super drive and bottom connections for the Sony,
Again only the SuperDrive appears in the ATA list and and the disc burner list.
I am beginning to wonder it the problem may actually be with the ribbon cable that snakes back to the motherboard.
Since that cable has a set of dual outlets at the drive end and has them labeled for top and bottom, is it possible to plug in only one drive using the bottom connector as a test to see if data flows to the motherboard?
Is it possible some part of that cable has somehow become disconnected at the motherboard?

Problems installing Windows XP SP2 on a 2008 Mac Pro

I have been trying to install Windows XP with Boot camp on my new Mac Pro. I have created a partition and have formated it NTFS with the XP disk. Once XP gets to the point where it says how long installation will take it blue screens and says to check new devices. I have tried it twice now and no luck. I am wondering if maybe there is a hardware incompattiblity with the new Mac Pros. I have searched the forums and can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.

Welcome to the Apple forums.
I have a late model 2007 Santa Rosa MBP (17") running Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. I don't think much has changed in the 2008 model.
It's a remote possibility that there are some hardware issues, and there are not many new machines out there yet.
As noted, unplug all extraneous hardware, external drives, even your internet connection if you are using an RJ-45 and see what happens.
You don't say which flavor Winders you are trying to install.
Also you might check into the BootCamp forum where you might find a larger group of users running Winders than here, which is primarily pure Leopard.
Here's the address to the BootCamp forum. For some reason only the beta BC forum is listed, but here is the real address:
Good Luck.

Is it possible to downgrade to Mountain Lion on the 2013 Mac Pros?

Obviously came with Mavericks, but would like to know if it's possible to run 10.8.
Thanks!

mrala wrote:
While that is typically the case, I've noticed the new MacBook Air and Mac Mini will allow you to install Mountain Lion
That is because both models were released before Mavericks was available. Mountain Lion is their original OS.
The 2013 Mac Pro can not run anything lower than the custom build version of 10.9 it shipped with.

Can't install OSX 10.7 Lion on old Mac Pro...

i've got an old mac pro... i think it is 2007 or 2008 vintage... it is the 2.66mghzzz model...
it is so old it can't run OSx 10.8 and up... so I am stuck running 10.7xxx
anyway, system disk died recently...
made an OSX 10.7 install thingy on a 8gb USB drive using my new Macbook Pro...
problem is the install keeps hanging after starting the install... i've attached screenshots showing how far it gets...
i've let it sit for a few hours and no progress... i reckon it should normally finish installing of a USB stick in maybe 30 minutes or so?
is it possible that the 4tb SSHD drive i am installing onto is too big for this machine?
it has been using other 4tb drives so not sure this is an issue?
really stuck here... argh...
thanks

thanks for your reply...
yes, I realize it will only install on older macs... my Mac Pro is the 1,1 model... the 2.66mhz processor is from the 2006-2008 era....
i believe it shipped with 10.4 or 10.5 OSX...
it was previously running 10.7.5 which is the newest OSX that was allowed to be installed on it....
so it should allow 10.7 to be installed? Or do I have to start with the much older osx?
I downloaded Lion 10.7 from the mac app store and it of course wouldn't let me install it on anything, even the 4tb SSHD drive when I connected it via USB/SATA adapter to macbook pro as it is too old for running 10.7 install on this machine but I was apple to use SuperDuper app to make a boot drive of the 10.7 download form the mac app store onto a 8gb USB flash drive and make it bootable...
The 4tb SSHD drive appears to work on system as I can run disk utility and format it and mount it etc etc...
Perhaps there is something wrong with my install USB flash drive I made? I am really stuck here...
thanks for your help...
