Why is mountain lion incompatible with my mac pro?

The app store says that Mountain Lion is incompatible. Not sure why. I have 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon processors. I have 8 GB of memory free and over 800 GB of storage free. Can someone explain?
Thanks,
Jim

If you're running Lion, it should, where my iMac shows it's an early 2009 design:
But a Mac Pro 1,1 is probably an August, 2006 model. I don't find an article that connects the model number to build period for Mac Pros, but plug your serial number into this site. It should show it.

Why is Mountain Lion not available for Mac Pro 2007???

Why is Mountain Lion not available for Macpro 2007 eventhough this computer is not having old generation hardware like of 15years ago's computers!! I am surprised to know about that. when this mac pro have 2 xeon processor, 8GB ram, OS 10.7.5 (Lion) etc etc. so why is this not compatible for mountain lion???
Very Sad for us - the buyer of so costly Macpro ....
so does the Apple want to say we should buy or upgrade our purchased costly apple products every 5 years ??!!

This is a user forum. We are all users like yourself. Conjecture about Apple's products is not appropriate discussion in these forums.

Can't install my Mountain Lion again on my Mac Pro -- help please.

I can't install Mountain Lion again on my Mac Pro: got this message: This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. Delete this copy of the application, and go to apple store ...

Well, the hard disk has been replaced and the Apple people replaced but innstalled the older OS (
X Lion 10.7)! So I tried to reinstall the newer OS which from App Store under Purchases but I had the problem I stated earlier: This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. Delete this copy of the application, and go to apple store ... Hopefully, I can get this fixed! thanks!

Mountain Lion incompatible with Geforce 8800?

I have an 8 core Mac Pro, everything has been working fine...until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Doing anything video intensive causes the system to crash. Sometimes the whole system has a kernel panic and reboots on its own. Other times, the video goes nuts, and I get repeating patterns all over the screen, and am unable to get the system back to a usable state without having to hold the power button. The video card was a GeForce 8800GT, which I have been using for years with zero issues... until upgrading to Mountain Lion. I have all updates installed as well. I took the video card out and put back the ATI that came with the machine, and it seems to have resolved it. But why is it doing this? The Geforce is a far superior card, and I hate not having it. If there is no fix, I may just downgrade and start looking at switching back to a Windows machine. If anyone has any suggestions or answers, please help. I appreciate it.
Below I'm pasting a log of the kernel panic:

Mountain lion incompatible with sky go

Just been informed that mountain lion is incompatible with sky go. every time you use sky go it registers the mac as a new device each time. you are only allowed to register two devices per month so in effect you can only watch sky go twice per month!!! was advised by sky there is no fix in the pipeline. cant think the growing number of new mac purchasers are going to be too happy with this. Any one got same experience or solutions

Could this be approaching resolution? I just had a chat session with Sky and here's a screen grab from the session:

Is mountain lion compatible with all mac computers?

I have a macbook from 2008. I just installed the snow leopard to update my computer. I am wanting to update to the mountain lion version but I read somewhere that it is not campatable with older computers. Does anyone know if this is true? I would rather not waste my money if I dont have to.

Mountain Lion incompatible with other equipment?

I recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion and am now unable to use my Epson scanner or my Canon ip4820 printer. Am I just out-of-luck and need to replace these two essential pieces or is there a way around this?

For the Scanner, try opening Image Capture and see if the scanner is listed or try the Print & Scan system Prefs.
For the Printer, have you tried removing it from the list in Print & Scan, and then adding it back?
"Unable to use" is pretty vague. There could be many reasons you are unable to use the devices. What have you done and what specific things are preventing you from using them? Scanner software doesn't open, Error messages, Printer doesn't show up in Printer list, printer shows up but error when printing, etc.

HT1338 Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC software inside Windows 7 Pro inside Parallels 8 inside Mountain Lion running on a Mac Pro built in 2013?

I wanted to ask if anyone using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, Parallels 8, and Windows 7 Pro could run XP Mode?
My experience has not been encouraging in that I progress to the end of the final mile, that is configuring XP Mode for first use, then an error message appears saying I should try again, that is I should attempt to configure XP Mode again for the first time use. An endless loop, with no visibility into the nature of my configuration failure.
I understand my problem is a narrowly focused, microsoft-centric issue, however, I would imagine this XP behavioral Mode running inside Windows 7 Pro is a common goal for many users, so I thought this question was reasonable to ask our group.
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello FatMac,
I wanted to let you know that your "requires a patch" feedback looked--at first--like the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Turned out, however, when I downloaded the 64 bit version of the patch, then attempted to install it under Windows 7 Pro, my installation was first searched, then my patch installation returned a message saying this patch was not applicable to my system. (BTW:my Windows 7 install is 64 bit) This failure to install surprised me because, based on an earlier evaluation for hardware virturalization support, my MacPro does not have virturalization hardware support. I mean, based on this no hardware support feedback, and based on the nature of this patch, it looked as if the patch should install and set my problem right.
Nevertheless, the patch won't install, and I don't know a way to query or coerce it. I'm approaching the point of diminishing returns with this problem. I have two applications (Adobe Illustrator 10 and Framemaker 7.0) which will run, but they don't behave properly, under Windows 7. BTW: I did make somewhat extensive use of the Windows compatibility tool early on, but nevertheless, FrameMaker 7 simply quits at the worst possible moment, and Illustrator 10 graphics are very often blank black areas where pallettes should be.
Thanks again for your thoughts and help. I believed we were heading down the right track, but for reasons not visible to me, (the user), the patch that should fix this problem will not install...
If there is any saving grace to this situation, my problem is repeatable. I mean, it's not on-again/off-again. When I attempt to configure XP Mode for its first use, the progress bar turns red at the final second, then complains that it could not complete its setup. Please Try Again recouts its final advice. (Famous words marking the beginning of an endless loop:-)
Were it not for Illustrator and FrameMaker, I would not have taken us down this dark road.
So long for now, and hope to talk to you all again soon...

Mountain Lion Very Slow on Mac Pro 3,1 (2008 model)

The Mac Pro 3,1 is supposed to support Mountain Lion, but when I run it, the GPU (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with it) makes a constant, loud fan noise as if it is working hard, and all of the graphics lag badly. I've installed all of the updates. Is there some driver problem between the Radeon HD 2600 and Mountain Lion? People on MacRumors said that it works fine on a Mac Pro 3,1 except for one guy who said it was really slow. Snow Leopard runs great on my machine.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

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!

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.

Mountain Lion install crash on Mac Pro

Hi,
Just started the install on my Early 2008 Mac Pro and it's completely crashed the system. The app downloaded fine and ran OK in 10.7 doing the setup and then tried to reboot. As soon as it rebooted I get a Kernel Panic and the 'Please Power Off your System'.
I've managed to get into Recovery Mode and am going to restore from Time Machine and try again but has anyone else had this?
There were no warnings or errors before the kernel panic at all.......
Thanks,

This worked for me....
Restart
During restart, hold Ctrl + Command + P + R to reset the PRAM
After this, the computer will flash and reboot again and should boot into the Mountain Lion Installer.
Good luck.

Why does Magic Mouse lag with new Mac Pro?

My magic mouse worked great on the old G5. Works fine an mini mac. Unusable on the brand new mac pro.
I have a $10 laptop mouse from an old pc that is wireless through a tiny usb connector that works 1000 times better.
Why?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I have three MM. One just does not work well. The other two are fine with the 2013 Mac Pro. Sometimes you have to clean the optical lens and sometimes they just don't work on any machine.
