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

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.

My mac pro will not accept mountain lion how do i access older os

my mac pro will not accept mountain lion how do i access older os

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo, it can only be upgraded to 10.6.8; Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available in the online Apple Store.
If it's a Core 2 Duo, follow the instructions for the Core Duo, phone the online Apple Store, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks

How do I tell if my mac book air will run mountain lion?

I've seen it asked a lot of times. I've seen the same answer every time, which is "so long as it's a late 2008 model"
My macbook air is silver... it says "macbook air" on it... I bought it once upon a time... it is running leopard... it does not appear to have a date stamp...
Do macbook air once-upon-a-time models run mountain lion? Or is there, possibly, some clue somewhere in the system data and about boxes that I might check? You know, like processor speed or graphics or memory? What does "late" 2008 mean anyway? how late? If I bought it in August it won't work but if I bought it in September from a shop that had been stocking it since June it will? Come on...
I don't even want to upgrade, I just find I pretty much have to now or I can't access anything (like the app store). I'm feeling obliged to pay to keep my machine working without being able to work out in advance if I even can - this has put me in a fairly negative frame of mind, and is why you are going to have to live with a fairly grumpy help request!
Anyone know what the real criteria are?

Apple uses descriptors like "Late 2008" to indicate when models change. It has nothing to do with the time of year a system might be sold. The late 2008 MBA specs are here.
Type in your systems serial number here, and it will tell you what you have. You can find your serial number by clicking on the apple to the left side of the menu bar. Underneath the MAC OS X where it says what level of operating system you have, click on that until you see the serial number.

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
Good luck,

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!

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 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.

The keyboard on my Mac Pro Server with OS X Lion stopped working

I'm from Brazil and apple doesn't have any support here, just for iphones...So could anyone please help me?
The keyboard and the mouse on my Mac Pro suddenly stopped working, the mouse light is on but not working, the mouse cursor doesn't even appear on the screen, I've tryed with different keyboards in all the usb ports and nothing, none of them worked.

It is a easy fix to this problem.
I have this video card
iMac 24 inch, early 2008.
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB .
This is what you do.
1. open app store.
2.go to the update tab.
Yuo will see the imovie icon waiting to install.
3.clic the sub menu tab and select "try apdate in an hour" option from the sub menu.
4.leave the app store window open and came back in an 1hr .
Like magic you will see the imovie app being upgrade it in the lunch pad .
enjoy it.

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.

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.

I had no success in establishing bluetooth pairing between my iphone and Macbook pro retina after insalling Mountain Lion, any suggestions?

is this a known issue? how do I fix it?

I'm having the same problem. Neither my iPhone 5 or 4s will connect with my Retina Pro machine. The pairing seems to go fine, however when I try to connect to the Mac on the phone, it returns and claims the unit is not supported - and removes the MBP from the list!
This is simply not acceptable for equipment as expensive as these products are.

Macbook pro (late 2008) running Mountain Lion... crash!?

Hey, my macbook pro crashes from time to time... i think it is when i do graphic intense stuff like rendering finalcut or playing c&c...
playing c&c for example it restarts every time after several minutes of playing with the following report:
can somebody please help me?

Figured it out....
I installed an SSD (Sandisk Extreme 120GB) handled port speed is 1.5 instead of the capable 3 wich the mbp 5,1 would have....
And normally I get the beachball from now and Then... now when playing C&C Tiberium Wars   when the Beachball would normally come... the mac is restarting...
Tryed with my old HDD and everything works fine.
Can somebody suggest an ssd drive wich is fully compatible with the macbook pro 5.1 late 2008 in terms of link speed 3GB and the Beachball issue...
Heard that someone installed an OWC Mercury Electra 3G without any issues...   can someone confirm this?
Thanks
tom

MacBook Pro 13 2010 running Mountain Lion: will not boot and shows a folder with a flashing question mark. Will not start in 'safe mode' i.e holding shift on start up - nor can I call up any utilities with the OSX shortcuts. Any thoughts?

Following an automatic update, the machine wouldn't boot. Screen came on (shows white) - then either showed a 'No-Entry' Sign and a spinning cog, or a folder with a qusetion mark. I tried to start the machine in different modes ( eg. holding shift after the tone ) but nothing worked. after leaving the machine alone for 1 hour. It worked perfectly again. I did a 'verify disk' check which found no problems. 2 hours later it then froze ( In - Photoshop). Could not force quit, so shut down, and have not been able to boot again since (white lit screen - flashing folder with question mark) . I have also taken the hard drive out and checked the connections which seem fine. Any suggestions? - Is the Hard Drive dead. : other info : It was also running parallels 8, with Windows 7. at the time of the update....

This article may help: A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac.

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