Will a 2006 Mac Pro (running Lion) accept a usb3 pcie card?

I have a Mac Pro (2006-running Lion 10.7.5, Build 11G63). Is there any way that it will recognize and accept a USB PCIe Card?

I think you would do find to narrow it down from generic - and yes of course you can, I do on mine and am using Allegro USB3 2-port from Sonnettech.com
Chips change and some people have trouble or it works but not the way that they want or expected.
Check out OWC www.macsales.com and then check for specific cards.

  • Is there a way to install boot camp on a 2006 Mac Pro running Lion?

    Lion comes with Boot Camp 4, which supports Windows 7+. The 2006 Mac Pro however only supports Windows Vista, which requires Boot Camp 3.
    I can't find a download link for Boot Camp 3, only 4 and 5.
    Does anyone have an idea?

    It is on your original dvd that came with your computer. See the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Look for your computer to determine what support software version is supported and where it is located.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • ATI Radeon 5770 in 2006 Mac Pro with Lion

    Hit an issue with my 2006 Mac Pro when the video card died in late October. At that point I was running Lion and had kept on top of software updates. Being on a restricted budget, I have purchased and installed an ATI Radeon 5770 card from the Apple store as I cannot afford a new Mac Pro. I knew that before I did this there may be incompatability problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros, and this seems to be the case.
    However, having trawled through the forums it seems some users are able to run this card on 1.1 machines with Lion. So I am now wondering if I have another issue - I'd much rather stick with Lion if I can rather than revert to Snow Leopard. Now I have installed the card things seem fine with the display - the 30" cinema display no longer has blocks of pixels all over it. On boot up the screen is a pale grey, the Apple logo appears in the centre with the busy timer underneath. I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears. Everything sounds like the machine is booting normally but it just won't progress beyond this point. I have tried holding shift to boot it in safe mode but the same things happens.
    If anyone can help point me in the right direction of what I should try next I'd be profoundly grateful!
    Vinny

    I knew that before I did this there may be incompatibility problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros,
    Although some users have complained of problems, their wounds may be self-inflicted. Use of a non-Apple ATI 5770 or failure to upgrade to at least 10.6.5 are high on the list. The main "issue", if you can even call it that, is the card runs more slowly than its published benchmarks due to PCIe 1 slots in the Mac Pro 1,2 and 2,1.
    I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears.
    That progress bar is indicative of unresolved Hard Drive problems. You need to boot to an alternate source of software (Hold Command-R at startup for Recovery_HD if you are running later than 10.6.8) and check the SMART Status and then select Macintosh_HD or whatever you renamed it and ( Repair Disk ). Repeat until all problems are resolved or it gets stuck. If you need help, copy the EXACT error message back here.

    If you're seeing a message in your web browser that your Mac is infected with a virus, and given a phone number to call for help, you're being scammed. There is no virus. See:

  • Macbook Pro running Snow leaopard can not share screen with Mac Pro running lion with "Back to my Mac"

    Anyone else?  When I use back to my mac, I can get access to the files on my desktop, BUT, I can't screen share.  Screen share is sleected in settings and everything I know to check is set up right.  Back to my Mac ir running on both machines using the same sign in.
    Any ideas?
    Jon

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • Will my 2006 macbook pro run ok with one fan?

    i have an 2006 macbook pro and the right fan started  to sound like a lawn mower. I opened her up, took apart the fan, cleaned  it and put i back together and it still sounded like **** so i opened  it up again and disconnected the fan...my question is...will my computer  be ok with running on one fan for a bit until i get a replacement

    Install istat pro and monitor the temperature.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    No video, games, Skype and such and the MBP may survive.
    Remember, the Apple engineers installed two fans for a reason.

  • Mac Pro Mountain Lion Kernel Panic Dual Video Cards

    I've been getting constant panics since upgrading to Mountain lion on my 2009 Mac Pro.
    Worth noting is I have dual GT 120 Video Cards and dual 30" LCDs.  Every panic seems to be caused by com.apple.NVDAResman
    This computer has been rock solid since 2009 and only after "updating" to Mountain Lion has it become unstable.
    Was hoping 10.8.1 and 10.8.2 would fix the issued, but neither have.  It's worse than ever.  Crashing every day.
    Already reinstalled the OS, tested the RAM, etc.  No change.  Still crashes everyday.
    What should I do?  It's really eating into productivity...

    I installed Lion so I could sync all my devices. I don't see my iCal events on iCloud, and, naturally, they are not showing up on my iPhone, or my iPad. If I go the iCloud on in my prefrences panel, it just takes me to the website, where there doesn't seem to be settings for iCal activation. What to do?

    On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect then restart your Mac.

  • Hi,I have PhotoShop CS6 running on a Mac Pro running LION. Camera Raw 7.4 not loading

    Hi,
    Tried loading Camera Raw 7.4 to update my CS6 by Going to HELP\UPDATES and it says my program is up to date.
    Yet when I go into Photoshop CS6 file handling preferences it says that I am running  Camera Raw 7.0.3.71.
    Why is CS6 not seeing the availability of the latest ACR release?

    Check Help > About Plug-in > Camera Raw to verify version.

  • Windows 7 using bootcamp on mid 2006 Mac Pro.

    I just got the a copy of Duke Nukem: Forever, and my heart sank when I saw that it would only run on a windows machine. So using bootcamp, I created a partition of 100GB, and I went to install a genuine copy of Windows 7 on my mid 2006 Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.7 with everything fully updated. However when I went to install windows, it continally gives me an error. I followed the install guidelines on the bootcamp instillation guide, clicked "format" in the windows installer, and nothing happens. It just kicks out an error code and tells me that it cannot install to this location. I can't be the only one out there with this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are the specs of my machine:
    Mac Pro mid 2006
    Two Dual Core 2.66 Intel Xenon processors
    8GB RAM
    over 1 TB of free space
    Mac OSX 10.6.7
    Windows 7 Home Premium (Genuine Copy)
    error message displayed during windows instillation:  "0x80300024"
    Thanks for anyones assistance!

    There are more than enough helpful links from Bing on the error message.
    Issue with your Mac Pro is you need 64-bit to address more than 1.9GB / Windows 7 Pro to support dual processor.
    The lack of EFI64 does make it impossible to install as is. Most common, people can't get beyond an error on startup "Select 1 or 2"

    Also, you need to remove all drives other than the one you will install Windows to.

  • Blue Snowflake Mic won't recognize on 2006 Mac Pro.

    I just purchased a Brand New Blue USB Snowflake Mic, and when I plug it into my 2006 Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.5, it won't show up in the Sound System Preferences. I do not know what to do. It says it works with OS X, but I can't get my Mac to see it. Any ideas or help?

    I can tell you my wife and I have had this happen on both of our BLUE snowflake mics. After some phone calls to BLUE, they replaced them both under warranty.
    Both of the replacement Snowflakes work on our macs, but they were obviously refurbs.
    It's worth noting that my wife has another BLUE mic, a Snowball that she uses for voicework. It has never exhibited any issues. Only the snowflakes. I get the impression, though it's purely anecdotal, that there is a high failure/return rate on the snowflake mics.
    love,

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 and I want to replace a drive and install Lion

    I have a 2007 Mac Pro running 10.7.5 with dual core intel 2.66 with 13 GB ram. I want to replace my startup disk 250GB (which has all my apps) but has been lagging ( I thinks it's an original drive) with the new HD in bay 2 (4 T drive) which I installed this week. I tried to install lion onto it and it said I needed a newer version 10.7.3-I have time machine as my backup on an external. All the bays are full and I'd like to trade them out sooner or later to get more room for movies, etc. The last OSX disk I have is Snow Leopard and that was rejected as not new enough. Can someone help me with info on installing Lion on the new drive. I know how to make it the startup disk after, but I can't seem to load 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 (not supported on my older mac pro.) Thanks,
    ANNE Z

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.
