Mac Pro 2009-2010 firmware tool
Has anyone tried the Mac Pro 2009-2010 firmware tool hack that is floating around out there? It seems to work with no problems. A cheap way to turn your 2009 quad core into a 2010 hexacore. The price on the Xeon W3680 3.33Ghz Westmere has come down out of the stratosphere into the $500 range. $500 for that kind of speed improvement and the ability to run 1333Mhz RAM seems like a no brainer if one were thinking about upgrading. Have other people tried this?
This is not the place and no I have not heard, if there is/was it would be talked about on MacRumors, netkas or others. And I don't think it would be just firmware update. OWC Turnkey program involves more than just firmware change.
The W33680 was $590 but has gone up (popularity and supply/demand) to $620. Not $500 (though if you sell your cpu later then the out of pocket might be more like $400).

Any updates on the ATI Radeon HD 5870 upgrade kit for Mac Pro 2009/2010?
So,
while the card is shipping without delay in new BTO Mac Pro units, there still is no sign of the kit posted on on the online store months ago (day/date with current Mac Pro release). To date, the card hasn't shipped (to anyone - no 3rd party store has received it), Apple still shows 'currently unavailable' - without even an 'add to cart' button (like the Quadro 4000); and even AppleCare is in the dark (you'd assume they can send units for replacement. Yet, while they can be setup in the GSX system, there is apparently no 'cost' shipments available even from support).
I suppose not - but does anyone have any more insight into what's going on here? This looks suspiciously like this card is not going to see the light of day as an upgrade kit; for either 2010 or 2009 Mac Pro.....
Cheers,
DanUgh.
That rhymes with what we are seeing.
After about a week of there being an 'order' button for the 5870 (it remained 'currently unavailable' though), the 'add to cart' option has, today, disappeared again. I assume anyone who ordered the card during the window will not see the card, and there seem to have been no purchase confirmations (usually sent within 15 minutes of processing) sent to anyone who ordered.
All this, as well as you report, points to the 5870 being EOL; apparently only a contingent was made for the Mac Pro, and now even AppleCare is running down on inventory for replacements.
That begs the question; once inventory runs out - assuming it does - to even supply the Mac Pro BTO, there has to be some replacement ready; assumingly something with better yield.
BTW - the 5870 cards for the Mac Pro are made by AMD (they are identical to the reference boards), and are stamped as such in Mac Pros. Whatever Apple does with them, they still get them from AMD, not a third party....
And, the Quadro 4000 isn't a good replacement - apart from the cost (which is reasonable for a productivity card) as for non-optimized apps (i.e. users that would usually buy a 5870) it'll likely be much slower due to the low clock and memory speed on the card. And, WOW isn't CUDA aware
Oh well

Best GPU options for Mac Pro 2009/2010
hey guys Im Cinema4D and Photoshop user, currently there is stock graphics card (120GT) on my 2009 Mac Pro. Im thinking of upgrading it, because this card doesnt suit my needs. What would be best I could get for my use? Should I stick with something like ATI Radeon HD 5770 or 5870, or should I go beyond that? Also I found a great deal on ATi Firepro V8800 which is PC card. What dissadvantages will be if Ill go with a PC card?
If you really and truly want to know what AMD GPUs are supported in a specific version of OSX, AMD and Apple have been kind enough to let you check.
S/L/E to the AMD family.
Start with "AMD7000Controller.kext" and right click it.
Show contents leads you to the "info.plist"
Open in an editor, then expand "iokitpersonalities"
Then "controller"
Here you will see "IOPCIMatch"
These are the device ids that the 7000 driver works on.
"0x26001002 0x22001002 0x67901002 0x67981002 0x679A1002 0x679E1002 0x67801002 0x68201002 0x68211002 0x68231002 0x68251002 0x68271002 0x682D1002 0x682F1002 0x68391002 0x683B1002 0x683D1002 0x683F1002 0x68001002 0x68011002 0x68061002 0x68081002 0x68101002 0x68181002"
"1002" identifies AMD
The other number is the Device ID. Each GPU has a specific one. (except for 7970 and D700 which share one and 7870 and D500 and R7 somethingorother and D300)
Anyhow, looking at the list I know two by heart.
"6798" is the AMD 7970 and "679A" which is the 7950 (underlined and BOLDED)
So, you need to go to the GPU Database at TechPowerup and find the cards you want to know about and look through that list.
Note that being in that list doesn't GUARANTEE that a driver is complete. (The R9 290x is in one of them and it doesn't work) But, on the other hand, if it isn't in any of the driver lists, I can ABSOLUTELY, 100% GUARANTEE that it WON'T work. -
Mac Pro 2009 won't boot after airport installation
Hey everyone, looking for some insight here.
I recently bought a Mac Pro 2009 running Mavericks (at time of receipt). It didn't come with an airport card so I purchased one to install myself. The Mac was running fine until this evening when I finally got around to installing the card, however since then it won't get past the grey boot screen with apple logo. I've tried disconnecting the airport card to see if that reverted it, but no change. I also can't boot into safe mode, so that's no good. The only thing I can do is bring up the giant padlock with the option key held, which I saw elsewhere was connected with a firmware password (my admin doesn't work).
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!It wouldn't be much of a lock if you could circumvent it with advice from a forum.
Obviously a valid point, although possibly somewhat niaive where forums are concerned (no disrespect intended).
It was more an expression of frustration than anything else, to be honest, though. It's kind of absurd that this happened following a simple hardware upgrade. Most people I know aren't even aware they can set a firmware password, so basically what it means is don't upgrade a machine that's intented to be upgraded (I'm aware of the hyperbole here).
Looks like it will be a Mac store trip, though, yes. A pain in the arse since even my nearest authorised technician is miles away. -
How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?
How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
ThanksWhy? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
"500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed

http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.
The Sapphire Radeon R9 7950 Mac Edition is available from OWC and TransIntl.

Things to keep in mind:
The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again. -
Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum extract.
Hello
How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum performance. I would be interested how far one could come close to the performance of the new Mac Pro 2013, or is it hopeless.
My computer
Mac Pro
mid-2010
Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 14 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Please excuse my english is not the best because.For what apps?
Okay, you have the slower 2.4GHz processors, most have found that MHz still rule and matter, meaning a 6-core 3.4GHz for some applications (most) was the best and the sweet spot.
So you could upgrade to a pair of 3.2GHz 4-core (cheapest) rather than splurge on two 6-core 3.34GHz (more expensive and more cores).
First thing to do, put the system on a 256GB Samsung 840 SSD.
For photoshop and graphics, invest in some more SSD ($US300 for 500GB) and put those on a PCIe SSD controller ($300 Sonnet Tempo Pro) and put Aperture/Lightroom on one, and use the 2nd SSD for scratch.
RAM: 24-32GB would probably help all but the more casusalist of user.
Tips and articles:
http://www.macperformanceguide.com head to the TOPICS main page and there are dozens of sections each a different area of upgrade and optimization for applications. Storage, memory, how to, use arrays, backup strategy. -
Will Remote Desktop allow me to access and use my Mac Pro 2009 from my MacBook Pro 2011?
Own a small business, have two locations, I need to use Windows via Parallels on my Mac Pro 2009, but I am forced to spend most of my time at the other location which has a MacBook Pro 2011. Will Remote Desktop allow me to use the MacBook Pro 2011 to access the Mac Pro and use Windows via Parallels?
If all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be overkill. If the systems have Mac OS X 10.5 or later you can use the Screen Sharing built into those versions of Mac OS X to control the system.
Another and perhaps easier option is to use a service such as LogMeIn or TeamViewer. Either option may be significantly easier than dealing with screen sharing or ARD.
You'll want to confirm that any solution you choose will work with Parallels, of course. I haven't tried remote control of a system to use Parallals, so there may be special considerations there. If you don't get useful comments here, you might try Parallels' forums.

Hello,
Since yesterday my computer simply refuse to boot (Mac Pro 2009, Quad-Core 2.93 with a flashed Radeon 5870).
It was working fine the day before, I shut it down, unpluged it and when I came back the following day it wasn't working anymore.
When I try to boot it I can hear the fans but not the starting "DONG" it should do.
I tried to replace the graphic card with my old ATI 4870, tried to switch with some old RAM I had and tried to disconnect my hard drives one by one but it did nothing at all.
The only thing I have is this red dignostical LED you can see on this picture. I tried to find it's meaning but I wasn't able to find anything.
It would be nice if someone was able to tell me what this LED meant (and even nicer if it wasn't something expensive to replace !).
Thanks !Hello once again,
So, I finally had time to look a little deeper into this processor board and after removing the heatsink and cleaning the processor I noticed two little plastic screws (the ugly little red arrow on the picture I took from macbidouille.com, not the nice and big one) maintaining another heatsink on the board.
I'm not sure what is the component under this heatsink but one of these screws was broken (they aren't really screws but I don't know how to explain in English) and the heatsink wasn't correctly positioned anymore so I replaced these two screws, put everything back in order (with some thermal grease on the processor and the unknown component) and everything worked like a charm when I was done.
Thanks everyone for your help ! -
Mac Pro 2009 - Kenel panic problem, any ideas?

Mac Pro 2009 8 core with an endless cycle while booting up
Dear all,
My Mac Pro 2009 edition (2.26 GHz,8-cores) is suffering from a weird situation which I can't solve, so I post the message and hope someone can help me to find a solution.
On Monday Morning, I found the rainbow cycle is running behind the screen saver after shifting my mouse. The Mac Pro was not responding (can move mouse), so I pressed the button for 5 secs to shut it down. Then, I pressed the start button and saw there is a folder with question mark on the screen. After looking several web pages, I realized that it might be the RAID is failed for some reasons. I used the OS X installation disc to boot up and found that the RAID card was not recognizing the original RAID 0 build while the RAID card was shown to be healthy. I decided to restore my system from the time machine (WD Green 2TB x2, RAID0), so I checked the content of the time machine and hoped that I can find since when the machine is not responding. Then, it was 5:36PM on Friday, the last backup (backup per hour). So, it has been freezed for more than 2 days right after I left my office! Anyways, I used RAID utility to rebuild the RAID 0 (1TB x 4) and started recovering the last backup. After 11 hrs, the restore had been successfully done, so I clicked the restart button. However, after booting up, I got a grey apple and a running circle below it. The loading screen remained for 10 hrs and wouldn't get in.
I sensed that there is something wrong. It couldn't be fixed by simply restoration by time machine. Therefore, I started exhaustively surffing the internet and looking for an answer. Here are things I have tried but didn't work:
1. Restoring from three different time points: last time point, 1 hour before the last time point, and midnight on Thursday. Not working.
2. Remove Mac Pro RAID Card and use Disk Utility to build SoftRAID 0. Not working.
3. Remove ATI Raedon 5770 and replace with the original GT120. Not working.
4. Use Apple Hardware Test from Application installation disc to perform both default and extended tests. Found no problems.
5. Replace SDRAM with the originial 6GB (1GB x 6) SDRAM.
6. Tried reseting PRAM (3 to 4 times each)
7. Tried reseting logic board by following the instructions from macusersguide (http://www.macusersguide.com/2009/06/reseting-the-logicboard/).
(*)8. I tried to boot from another HardDisk, which I installed Win7 on it a few months ago (including all needed drivers for the Mac Pro). It is an originial Win 7 and it works! I also tried to test the 4 HDs by using the windows experience index. I tried 5 times (1 disks individually and all 4 disks enabled). All tests passed.
So far, I can only conclude that the hardware seemed fine, and it could be a software thing which blocks me from getting into the Mac OS.
I have been working on this for 3 days, and I am really tried. Could someone help me addressing this issue? Is there anything I can do to test which part is doing wrong? Should I test more time points in the time machine? Should I just hand my Mac Pro to Apple retail stores and asking for fixing (apple care expired and they would charge fees..)?
Thank you so muchFrankly, if you want a reliable backup from which you can boot the computer, then don't use TM. Use a backup utility that makes bootable backups starting with the Restore option of Disk Utility. Here are others:
Backup Software Recommendations
Carbon Copy Cloner
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X

Hi there.
I have a mac pro 2009 quad-core intel xeon and since i've updated to 10.7.3 i've started to have problems with audio.
Sometimes when i turn on the mac, the audio doesn't work (the audio icon in the menu bar is shown grey, and if i try to rise the volume using the keyboard it doesn't work.
I've tried to get inside the audio preferences and select a different audio output like the internal speakers (i currently have speakers connected into the jack output) but it doesn't work too.
The only way to resolve this seems to do a RAM reset during the boot, but it's very annoying do this every time.
Anyone can help me to resolve this? Is it a software problem? Or my logic board is going to die?
It never did anything like this before the update.
Thanks for the support and forgive me for my bad english.
Greetz,
LorenzoI'm having similar problems with a brand-new Mac Pro 8-core. Mouse cuts out (I'm using a wired keyboard thankfully) and my Jawbone headset will work wonderfully with my old MacBook Pro but will only pair (maybe) on my Mac Pro.
Called and spoke with an expert and feel I get the run around. He had me shut down and unplug everything for 30 seconds. I did it but felt he was just having me "do something" to get me off of the line.
Apple has a problem with Bluetooth on their Mac Pros and isn't dealing with it. -
HELP! Upgrading Graphics Card on Mac Pro 2009
Hi all,
I'm interested in upgrading my current graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB to something with more memory.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which brand to go with that'll be compatible with my Mac Pro 2009 model and will work well under OSX Mavericks.
I really dont want to break the bank. Need a good amount of GDDR5 ram for Adobe Creative Cloud mostly. Would also like to run some gaming on PC Bootcamp drive under Windows 7 (Titanfall, Crysis, Battlefield, etc). However that's all secondary, thanks for your help.LOTS of choices, depends if you want ones that will work without fuss (ATI 5770 & 5870 plus Mac edition EVGA 680 and Sapphire 7950) still give you boot screens if you option boot.
If you don't care about boot screens, you can use almost any recent ATI or Nvidia card. If you only boot into OSX, you can live without boot screens.
