OSX Server 10.4.11 Run on New Mac Pro?

Hi, we need to upgrade and older G4 running OSX Server 10.4.11 and just want to make sure that the OS will run decent on a new Mac Pro machine. Does this work, or do you have to upgrade to 10.5?
Thanks. Would love the migration to be smooth, as my IT skills are limited. And if we had to upgrade the OS, I'd rather wait until Snow Leopard came out so we wouldn't have to upgrade twice in a short period of time.

Another potential option is to get the current box serviced; refurbished, as it may.
It looks like we would need to get the first generation Mac Pro to keep our 10.4.11 server software, but I suppose we would need the Intel-compatible install disks too, correct? Know if Apple would send Intel install disks if we were licensed owners of OSX Server 10.4 for PPC?
Um, I'd tend to doubt that. (You did get what you purchased, you've used what you purchased, and you probably didn't purchase the software maintenance service plan, right?) But you can always ask Apple, of course.
We really don't need the latest/greatest performance for our server, it's mostly a file-server. Our ancient G4 (upgraded processor to 1Ghz) doesn't seem to slow us down much, and has been pretty solid until now.
If you're looking for "just a file server", get a NAS (Network Attached Storage) box. There are various NAS options available. For low-volume shared stuff, a Time Capsule can suffice as a NAS box.
And I agree it would definitely make most sense to wait until Snow Leopard was available to upgrade, I just don't know if our server is going to last that long...
If you're not looking for the latest and greatest and a low-end Mac box is an option, an Intel Mac Mini (the latest version has FireWire 800, which is rather speedy I/O) can do quite well for serving up data, and can boot and run Leopard and apparently Snow Leopard. It's a respectable entry-level box, with decent I/O.
I did see something in the Snow Leopard documentation about an easy to use migration application for the upgrade. This would probably be very helpful if it worked well. Did Leopard have something similar?
I've had a successful upgrade from Tiger Server to Leopard Server, but in more recent times I tend to reinstall stuff rather than the upgrade. Cruft tends to build up over the years. Sometimes an upgrade blows up. I utilize a "warm standby" server to allow me to test the upgrades and updates before I go into production.

  • How Will iMovie Run on New Mac Pro (late 2013)?

    Is iMovie v10 ever likely to be upgraded to support the multiple-cores in the new Mac Pro (late 2013) the way Final Cut Pro X does? If not, will a fast iMac run iMovie about as well as the new Mac Pro (late 2013)?

    No one here knows what Apples plans are for iMovie?
    I think it's fair to say everything will run faster on the new MacPro but I don't think it's a reason by itself to upgrade hardware.
    iMovie 10.0.9 runs just fine on my 2010 iMac.

  • Can I run the new Mac pro (6.1) with only one stick of ram?

    Will that cause any problems. And if not how much will the overall quality be affected. it won't be a permanent solution, but for a few weeks at least. So can it happen? Can I run the Mac pro 2013 with only one memory stick?

    Per this
    http://blog.macsales.com/22745-mix-and-match-more-memory-faster-mac-pro-2
    the 2013 Mac Pro is the only MP that can use a single stick of memory.

  • New Mac Pro keeps looking for a server that isn't there

    So, I just got my new Mac Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) the other day.  I used MIgration Asssisant to transfer most files from my old Power Mac G5.   Computers were connected thru a hub.
    Then I turned on file sharing on the old machine to get some other info transferred.  I then shut down file sharing, physically disconnecting the hub and connecting the new Mac Pro to my DSL modem with an ethernet cable.
    Now when I boot up the new machine, I get a message
    "There was a problem connecting to the server  'Joe Blow's Power Mac G5'.
    "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and try again."
    I get this message three separate times ove a couple of minutes.
    Under the "Go" button in the Finder menu, I've clicked on  "Connect to server..." and cleared the old mac out of the list.
    What am I missing??
    Thanks

    Common causes of this issue include the following:
    Aliases in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server.
    Bookmarks in the Preview application.
    See iMovie Troubleshooting: Connection Failed, Server Does Not Exist
    Otherwise, proceed as below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Installing OSX and XP on new Mac Pro

    Hi,
    Just buying a new Mac Pro. I will getting it with one 750GB HD supplied direct from Apple on purchase, plus a 150GB WD Raptor, purchased seperately as a boot drive.
    Question... when the hardware arrives, what is the procedure for setting up a new boot drive with Mac OSX and Windows XP (under boot camp). Do I put OSX and Windows XP both on the WD Raptor...? Any suggestions for how I should partition that drive...?
    What is the physical procedure...? How do I change the boot drive from the 750GB drive on arrival to the 150GB WD Raptor that I fit....? How do I 'uninstall' Mac OSX from the Apple supplied 750GB HD...?
    And any other releveant advice.
    Much appreciated.

    Hi Robbie_DB,
    You can install OS X first on your 150GB wd raptor.
    restart your mac pro with the installer disk inside the optical and press C to force to start up using installer disk.
    Choose language > go to utilities > disk utilities > format the WD drive, and after you finish, go back to installer by quiting disk utility and install your mac os x and select WD drive as destination.
    Sometimes it require another restart before mac os can be installed to a new formatted HD.
    After you fnished install OS X, go to boot camp page, and follow instruction there.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
    It is a good thing if you update your os x software and hardware firmware to the latest and repair permission after that before going to install boot camp.
    And to select which HD you want to start from, open system preference from the Docks, click start up disk, and choose your WD drive, and restart.
    As soon as everything run smoothly, you can start from WD drive, open application > utilities > disk utility, and erase / format the original HD supplied by apple f you really want to.
    ps: back up any important data first, if any.
    Good Luck.

  • My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes when installing updates or new software.

    My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes and re-boots when installing updates or new software. I can only perform these operations while in the safe boot mode.  I have reloaded OSX twice. Does not solve the problem.  The machine is brand new. It replaced a previous MacPro that would not support the new Mountain Lion.  When my new machine came in.  I swaped the dirve out of my old unit into the new and ran the new Lion update.  The machine has had this aforementioned problem since that time.  Also, I had the Legacy version of File Vault running on the old machine/drive, which I also turned off(thinking that was the problem)  but that did not fix the problem either.

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

    Hi,
    I have just received my new Mac Pro and tried to install OSX from the enclosed discs on my Raptor. Only trouble is is says I can't, I tried on my 500GB Maxtor and it wouldn't put it on their either! Any ideas?

  • Can I run two 2560x1440 monitors (dual link DVI) on a new Mac Pro?

    I have two Monoprice Zero-G IPS monitors, which can run at resolutions of 2560x1440 using a dual-link DVI adapter.  This is what I am currently using on my old 2008 Mac Pro.
    If i get a new model Mac Pro, could I continue this arrangement at the max resolution by using two Thunderbolt/Minidisplay port to Dual link DVI adapters (and, I assume, using two of the USB ports as I do now)?
    Frankly, I dont need the power of a new Mac Pro but my old one is long in the tooth.  I'd get a retina Macbook and use it as my desktop, but I cant think of any way to run both monitors at full resolution on the Macbook Pro.  I dont want to run them at HDMI resolution.
    Thanks in advance!

    Adapters go from $9 to $54, the latter having heat-sink which is not needed in an open cMP.
    Some support both as in either or but not two at the same time, SATA interface on the PCIe afapter, or an M.2 type
    While other PCIe "solutions" exist they are not OS independent or machine, the XP941 suffers from none of those concerns as it is bootable in all Mac Pro 1,1 thru 5,1, and is the only one for 200-7 models (and 2008 are iffy) so you can 'take it with you' if you move to a new cMP.
    Old controller, you need two SSDs in RAID0 to get 900MB/sec writes.
    Does not appear to be any of the real issues of PCIe slot and bus master, outside of you would exclude the 1x slot in the 2006 of course!
    The hardest part? getting these tiny M.2 blades, which are ~ 1" x 3.25" and have a tiny screw,  on the PCIe adapter.
    250GB SSD today are ~$120 + many do want SATA III PCIe (to get 550MB/sec and allow continued use of 4 x SATA II drive bays) runs ~$80-299. In some cases you then need a 2nd SSD. So if you want speed (vs size) then $240 + $100 and the $300 for XP941 256GB isn't bad.
    Finally, look for an Apple blade on ebay if running Yosemite - they vary, some are 2x (slow) M.2s and you want 4x but any are probably 700MB/sec and cost $400-700. No need with Apple part to worry about TRIM.
    Comparing 128GB SATA II $83 + $15 adapter vs PCIe XP941 128GB $140 + $24 is a 'toss-up' in cost but not performance, and one frees up drive bay and uses PCIe slot. (Generally 250GB are faster and better, the 128GB use to have 135MB/sec writes and $40 extras for 550MB and double storage makes sense, you never want an SSD to get down to 20% free, and you want to have 11% set aside for over-provisioning).
    So in a way you can get 1000MB/sec like nMP for $175-300 in any Mac Pro, and new faster blades are on the horizon offering 1400MB/sec.
    Kind of amazing, that M.2 support is in that old EFI all along waiting

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • Premiere Pro CC running slow on my new Mac Pro

    I just upgraded my system to the new Mac Pro(Darth Vader Helmet) and its running slower then my 5 year old tower!? Ill take 15-20 seconds to save a project(small project). The playback is still a bit jerky. Overall it just seems to be lagging a bit.
    Here are my comp specs:
    OS 10.9.2
    3GHZ 8-Core Intel eon 5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR2
    Does anyone have any idea why Premiere isnt blazing!?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about.  Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
    Yep.  That's usually what happens.  My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4.  CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video.  Which is pretty damned good.  I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more.  I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
    I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
    Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically.  I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can.  But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
    (I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
    I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor?  I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are.  There's no need for one.  Does your display have a DP input?  You're all set.  No?  It has HDMI instead?  Still all set.  It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

    I have this on both machines running 10.10.1 OS X and AE 2014.  I see on line that others are having this issue.  I think it needs a Patch ASAP. 

    Hello.  Basically I can create a  new comp  that is set to 1920 x 1080, @ 30 frames per second for 1 minute TRT.  I create a new solid layer, say red.  I hit space bar or play on the screen,  and it does not play in real time.  ITs on my Imac as well.  same OS and Same Version software.

    Well, before you hit the panic button, why don't you tell us precisely what you're doing when AE plays at 17fps -- the keys you hit, the buttons you click to begin play.
