Is it possible to upgrade an older Mac Pro to accept OSX Mountain Lion?

I know mine would need another gig of memory, but would that do it?

Pre 2008 Mac Pro (65lb tower) models lack the required EFI-64 firmawre for 10.8 Mountain Lion.
And the minimum RAM means it runs, but not well.

  • Older Mac Pro users beware of Mountain Lion upgrade

    I work at a company where we have 6 edit suites. Five of those suites are still running Mac Pros; three of them are Early 2008 models, two are Early 2009 models. All of these suites have 30" monitors in them running at 2560 x 1600 resolution. The other suite has a new 27" iMac. All but one of the Mac Pros have their original graphics cards.
    When Mountain Lion first came out, I upgraded my Mac mini at home that has FCP7 and FCPX installed on it. Both applications ran fine and I was able to edit a project in FCPX with no problem. A co-worker who works remotely on a 27" iMac had also upgraded his machine and experienced no issues.
    Seeing no issues with the ability to run FCP7 under Mountain Lion, I proceeded with upgrading the MacPro suites at our office. After an initial test on one machine to confirm that FCP7 would load and launch projects, I proceeded to upgrade the remaining suites. It soon became apparent after other editors began to use their computers that FCP6 and 7 were affected by the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    While the programs still work fine, one fundamental change that Apple has made in Mountain Lion is to push more of the responsibility for displaying the image on the computer monitor to the GPU of the graphics card. Previously these responsibilities were shared with the CPU. Therefore, if you have an older graphics card (even if it is fully compatible with FCPX, as ours are), FCP6/7 has a difficult time playing back 1080 video in the Canvas window (at any size), without breaking up when there is some degree of movement in the video image.The screen cannot refresh quickly enough to draw the video image without showing horizontal banding and some minor digital garbage.
    Rest assured that the render files are clean and the output file will be fine. Once exported, a self-contained .mov file will playback fine in Quicktime, showing no banding where there previously was banding when viewed in FCP. This is an issue with display only. If you can live with it, fine. But it is rather distracting while editing.
    I attempted to downgrade one of the Mac Pros to Lion earlier today. While I was able to successfully downgrade (not with a clean install, but another method), both FCP7 and FCPX would no longer launch because they were confused about which version of the OS was running. Using FCS Remover, I deleted both FCP7 and X, then reinstalled FCP7. Still no luck with launching FCP7. I finally decided to reinstall Mountain Lion for the time-being. FCP7 now launches again.
    Just a warning to those considering upgrading that you may experience performance issues with FCP6/7 if you are using an older Mac Pro and trying to edit 1080 footage. You may have to upgrade your graphics card to achieve best performance.

    Yes, we previously we had purchased an ATI Radeon 5770 to enable use of FCPX, and 1080 video plays fine through that in both Early 2008 and Early 2009 models, although it is not fully compatible with those computers. Technically it is only compatible with Mid 2010 Mac Pros. It is unclear if there is a card that is fully compatible with Early 2008 computers and FCPX at this point.
    We have noticed some small pixelation around the edges of icons with the 5770 in an Early 2008, but that is intermittent and goes away with a restart. We have not noticed any issues in the Early 2009. We have also just purchased a Radeon 5870 and will be testing that in Early 2008 models to see if the same pixelation issue happens. We will install that card eventually in an Early 2009 computer because it is fully compatible with that machine.
    If nothing else, hopefully these graphics cards buy us a couple more years with our Mac Pros.
    Can you explain a little more about this please...  My primary system is a 2008 8X 3.2GHz system with a ATI Radeon 5770 and I have it running two 27" Samsung monitors and a 37" HDTV (all 1080p) on FCS3. None of the displays have any artifacts under any conditions. What are the compatibility issues? If I'm doing a no-no, I want to know before my next big project...

  • Is Microsoft Office Mac 2011 compatible with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8

    Is Microsoft Office Mac 2011 compatible with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8)?

    Yes, it works, but make sure you've updated your Office 2011 to the latest version.

  • Is it possible to upgrade a computer that qualifies for Mavericks to Mountain Lion via a content code purchase from the Mac App Store?

    I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
    The Mountain Lion installer appears under Purchases in the Mac App Store, but nothing happens when I try to download it. When I try to redeem the purchase by inserting the content code I get a message indicating that the content code has already been redeemed.
    I don't mind spending $20 to purchase a fresh content/installer code, but I would like some assurance that the Mountain Lion software can be installed on a computer that qualifies for Mavericks. Not wanting to upgrade to Mavericks is not my idea but is that of my client.
    Or to put it another way, does Apple prohibit such an install unless the computer in question does not qualify for a Mavericks upgrade?

    It is your decision which OS you want to upgrade to - Apple does not place such restrictions (unless the machine specs do not meet the OS's specs or vice versa). So, if yours does meet Mavericks specs, it can run any OS newer than what it came with.
    So, which OS does the machine have now?
    I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
    Was this purchase done on this same Mac? If so and someone else purchased the OS, then the likely answer is: any OS or app obtained at the app store is not transferable - its' license is tied to the original purchaser's Apple ID forever. So, it may have been a valid purchase, but it is tied to the purchaser, not you.
    In order to get past that, you will need to wipe the drive booting from either the original install disk (which OS did the Mac come with?) or using recovery if it was Lion. After wiping the drive, reinstall the original system, and then you can purchase and download any OS version you'd like using your own Apple ID.
    Let me know if I misunderstood the situation.

  • Mac pro not sleeping since mountain lion upgrade from Lion

    Hi, just wondering if anybody was having problems with their mac not sleeping after upgrading to Mountain Lion. The screen no longer blanks either, screensaver just runs until I move the mouse etc. all was fine under Lion, tried various things, stopping program's etc to no avail. I can force sleep manually just not happening when set to in energy saver settings. Machine is a mid 2010 mac pro, would of thought it shouldn't of have any issues running ML! Odd how the screen power down isn't working either. I'm out of ideas, must be a bug of some sort.

    Problem turned out to be a sidewinder USB joystick. Once unplug sleep resumed as scheduled.

  • Mac Pro (2008) Kernel Panic Mountain Lion

    Hello everyone, if anyone could help it be great. Okay so i have a Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) that im trying to hang on too because it runs great otherwise then these pesky kernal panics i get every couple of weeks or some times every couple of days or so. It is upgraded to everyting i can think of and im hoping i can keep it for another few years before apple drops support for it . Okay so has a PCIe SSD card from mac sales (also the boot drive) in it and i did recently install a driver they relesed, but i cant rember if i was haveing this problem before or not... Dang. But it also has 3 harddrives raided togeather using apple software raid im guessing it has somting to with one of the two because in the kernal pacnic report it says dependency: com.apple.driver.DiskImages is in its backtrace and from my knowledge that means it was from that extention?? .. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help that is offered!

  • Is there an automated way to check if my MAC Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion?

    I am trying to upgrade my OS to Mauntain Lion after reading all of the requirements, but when i click on purchase, it is telling me that my system is not compatible. Is there a way to automatically confirm compatibility?

    ... Is there a way to automatically confirm compatibility?
    It seems you already did that but to verify the App Store's diagnosis is actually correct, type in your Mac Pro's serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    To find its serial number: Mac Pro: How to find the serial number
    You can copy the serial number from About This Mac > More Info... and paste it in the above page's serial number field. Mountain Lion requires an early 2008 or newer Mac Pro. That would be a MacPro3,1 or later.

  • Will my Mac Pro 2,1 run Mountain Lion?

    I have read that the Mac Pro 2,1  would not run Mountain lion because of EFI32 in the graphics.  If THAT part of the machine is upgraded, COULD it run X.8?

    The "EFI64" or Unified EFI 2.x, was never final or adopted until late 2007, found its way into the Early 2008 Mac Pro.
    The MacPro 1,1 actually existed, in engineering and such, with its EFI32, all the way back in June 2005, a year before we saw it. 2,1 added support for new processors was all.
    64-bit processors, yes. Just think how the G5 folks who thought they had 64-bit systems, only not all the registers, not all the factors from top to bottom to be 64-bit.
    I run 64-bit OS and drivers on EFI32 just not Mountain Lion. But my graphic card options have been one area where might matter. And 64-bit graphics is where Apple wants to go. Probably not 100% technical but some.
    It does more than it did. 12GB kit (6x2GB) is now only $160. I paid that for a single 512MB DIMM in Sept 2006 ($320 the pair).
    Apple supported (oddly) 64-bit Vista on MacBook in Early 2008, then dropped support in late 2008. The iMac did not get such "blessed to run Vista 64-bit" until later, 2009, even though they had Penryn 64-bit class processors in iMac already. None of it 'makes sense.' MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac.

  • So my 8core 2007 'FutureProof' Mac Pro won't run Mountain Lion - any work arounds?

    Can it really be true that it's the end of the OS upgrading line for my 2007 MacPro?
    Surely someone out there knows a way to get around this? After holding out for Mountain Lion
    while switching from MobileMe to iCould in the 'knowledge' that it wasn't necessary to get Lion first, I thought I
    could survive a few weeks!... Just to be disappointed!?! Please say it isn't so!...

    If you google you will find a step by guide. It's not the easiest process in the world but seems doable. Good luck

  • How can I add social media linked icons to my mac mail signature in osx mountain lion?

    I've added png files to my signature and then hit command k and added a website to "link" each, however when i send the message the icons are there, but they don't "link", as in I can click on them and the png file just bounces back up.
    I am sure that Apple Mail has a way to do this, as every other carrier seems to have figured this out!
    Help!

    "a signature with my logo" - please explain.
    If I wanted a signature with a logo, I'd create an HTML document containing text and an embedded image. Adding, for example, facebook and twitter icons would be done in just the same way, by embedding their icons into the same HTML signature document.
    What's stopping you just adding more graphics?

  • I already bought Mac book pro with OSX Mountain Lion but my apple account not appear on my purchases list.

    I need to install to the other mac device
    please help.

    If your friend has Mt Lion show up in his purchases area of the Mac App Store then at some point he bought Mt Lion.
    You did not buy Mt Lion from the Mac App Store because it came with the system pre-installed. So it will not show in your purchases area.
    No you do not have to buy it again if you want to reinstall it. You use the Recovery system to do that and it can be done over and over again at no charge to you.
    You can use either the built in Recovery HD partition that is on the internal hard drive of your Mac or the Online Internet Recovery system that boots the computer from over the internet from the Apple servers.

  • I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks?

    I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.

    The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
    I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
    Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
    Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
    The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
    you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
    Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

  • Advice for updating my older Mac Pro

    I have an older Mac Pro running Leopard and I’m starting to have issues with my system running effectively, so I’m making the leap to Snow Leopard and possibly Lion. I’m looking for advice on the best methodology to make the change, suggestions on the best set up, and pitfalls to avoid.
    Current Set Up
    Processor: 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory: 6 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Drive 1: 750 GB internal, with OS 10.5.8. (230 gb used)
    Drive 2: 750 GB internal, non bootable backup for Drive 1(225 gb used)
    Drive 3: 1TB internal, Aperture Library (906 gb used)
    Drive 4: 1TB internal, Aperture Vault (879 gb used)
    Drives 5: 1TB external, backup for safe deposit box (912 gbused)
    Drives 6,7,8: 250GB external, varying and redundant backup.
    The programs I use more often are MS Office, Photoshop CS3 (not quite ready to upgrade, largely because of the pdf presentation removal in subsequent releases), Aperture 2.0, and now iMovie HD 6 (which has an undiagnosed problem and will not function properly).
    My current thinking is:
    - Ensure back up of Drive 1 on external drives.
    - Erase Drive 2
    - Install Snow Leopard onto “fresh” Drive 2 as start updrive
    - Use migration assistant to transfer user settings to Drive2
    - Transfer programs to Drive 2. Can I use MigrationAssistant to transfer CS3, Aperture, and other programs effectively, or should they be reinstalled from disk? What about plugins?
    - Leave Drive 1 as is to ensure MSOffice (ver X), CS3 and Aperture functionality. Will these programs run on Snow Leopard? I've seen posts about possible issues with Lion. . .
    - Eventually reconfigure backup drives to adequately and effectively utilize available space (my Aperture Library is getting unwieldy and needs reference masters, etc).
    As I’m very inexperienced at this, I would appreciate any advice and suggestions.
    Thanks!
    Steve

    SSD Killer-fast Mac Pro
    Upgrade RAM to 16GB (4 x 4GB)
    Upgrade all the hard drives to 2TB
    Upgrade to 10.6.8 and CS5.5
    Replace graphic card with ATI 5770
    Upgrade the processors with X5355s, which is what many are doing now with theirs.
    Forget Lion. Dropped PowerPC and Rosetta code support
    Clone your drives.
    Keep 40% or more free space on any drive.
    Move any non-OS or applications off the boot drive to a data drive.
    Move system and apps to SSD
    Use SSD(s) for Aperture Library or stripe RAID.
    None of the above, sell yours and pick up a 2010 2.8GHz $2100 (people that want or need to run Tiger and PowerPC will likely pay $700 range for MacPro1,1). Upgrade the processor in  2010, with 6-core 3.33GHz $590.
    Apple Special Refurbished Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad
    Intel Xeon W3680 3.33 GHz, SLBV2
    Intel Xeon UP W3680 3.33 GHz Processor - Hexa-core
    W3670 Upgrade photos
    At some point, it doesn't make sense to pour money into older system.
    But you can, and do it gradually one step at a time.
