2013 Mac Pro Restoration - Kernel Panic
by Guest TheValleyOfDefilement- 0 replies
- 3 views
Greetings. I'm currently restoring a 2013 MP. Having a few general issues, but can boot from seeded external boot medium in safe mode. With regular boots the system crashes down in a loop. I've done a lot of digging and can make some assumptions, but looking for some opinions and insights. Here's the relevant output. Thanks in advance! Sun Oct 3 08:51:55 2021 *** Panic Report *** panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff80028dab9d): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f85c5eafe, type 14=page fault, registers... Read more Source: MacRumors

2013 Mac Pro Serial Number
by Guest SpotOnT- 0 replies
- 3 views
Bit of an odd question. Anyone ever come across a Trash Can Mac Pro where the last four digits of the serial number were: N1VX? I have never seen a reference to this model before, but just came across one by chance and am trying to determine what was the original configuration (CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD) and if it was a refurbished model. Only reference I could find to it on Google was from the open core GitHub, which basically just confirms it exists. Source: MacRumors

2013 MP Not Booting and no Diagnostic lights
by Guest rorydaredking- 0 replies
- 6 views
I picked up a trashcan Mac Pro which wasn't booting supposedly as no power. I got a new PSU for it and still no luck, and no diagnostic lights so I then resorted to a new IO board - but still the same. When I press power the rear panel lights up, but no fans or anything else. I'm using a magnet just to the right of the power button to trick the hall sensor. Any ideas or suggestions on how to rectify? It's a Dual D700 12c model so would love to get it working. My only thought at the moment... Read more Source: MacRumors

2014 Mac Mini (URL included) as a home network / Google Drive sync?
by Guest /u/selfstartr- 0 replies

Hi there, My wife and I run a small business from home - we both have M1 Macbook Pros. We'd love a way to access the same file storage on our network, and have that storage space be Google Drive. That way everything is synced and kept up to date. So if im downloading a file online for work, I can save it straight down onto the Mac Mini synced Google Drive space, and not into my local Download files which is a blackhole. We use Google Workspace so sadly Google Drive is non negotiable for the cloud space. Will this 2014 Mac Mini fit the bill and be somewhat future proof from being "invisible" to our M1 Macs? My though process: Setup the 2014 Mac Mini has an …

I bought it on a whim to have in addition to my monitor, which is primarily used as an extended display of my MBP. I’m wondering if this thing is still usable for casual web browsing, streaming, and some light adobe work? submitted by /u/ktfxc [link] [comments]

2015 Macbook Air's still hold up incredibly well

https://a.thumbs.redditmedia.com/CPh7nNEuEtsoHhsq0rqFeX66YhTelnmCE6y47xQZz98.jpg In March I was looking to buy a new laptop because the screen on my 2014 Macbook Pro was broken, but performance wise it still worked great when using an external monitor. I saw 2015 Macbook Air's for £150 online in almost new condition, I bid £130 and settled at £135. If you're looking to buy Mac but can't afford to right now, think of one of these as a great entry point. Since then it's held up so impressively, not only in performance but in looks too. It's still sleek in regards to modern laptops and I use the Macbook Air to create PowerPoints, a bit of video editing in DaVinci Reso…

2017 iMac boots into black screen after login

I have a 2017 iMac and I use it for mostly graphic and video editing. Today I was exporting some files from After Effects and wanted to reboot because the computer seemed sluggish. When I rebooted I entered my password and it went to a black screen. I waited a long time, but nothing appeared. I rebooted. Same thing. I tried resetting PVRAM as I’ve seen instructed. I can’t use Command R to get into recovery mode. I can get into single user mode but I can’t run any commands as root. It tells me “you do not exist in the passwd database” From my research so far it seems there is something wrong with my user. The solution usually is to login as a guest, but I do…

2017 iMac is slow - even with internal 2TB SSD

I have a 2017 Mac running OS Monterey. A couple of years ago I upgraded the internal drive to a Samsung 2TB SSD. It ran great up until a few months ago - i'm getting constant beach balls and lag and I don't do a lot of heavy lifting on this machine. It's mainly chrome, youtube, some light photoshopping, etc. No video editing. Any ideas on what the issue could be? Plenty of space on the SSD, using about 800GB and another 350GB for my bootcamp partition. Thanks for any and all suggestions! edit: Forgot to say, it's 32GB RAM, 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 edit 2: You guys are all amazing, thank you. I don't think it's any specific program (chrome), as the beach balls…

2017 MacBook Air charging issue
by Guest /u/Human_Direction_2637- 0 replies

2017 MacBook Air charging issue Hi all. My 2017 MacBook Air is having charging issues. A couple weeks ago, it would randomly sleep whenever I plugged it into its charging cord (MagSafe). I seemed to have fixed this issue by going into settings and selecting “prevent Mac from automatically sleeping when display is off.” This fix initially worked. However, now my Mac is sleeping whenever it is plugged into the charging cord again. This would be bearable if it was actually charging, but it doesn’t appear to be (stays at the same battery % and light does not come on cord). I tried resetting the SMP, but that also didn’t appear to work. Is there a way to fix this at home…

2017 MacBook Pro WiFi not working after replacing battery

The battery works perfectly fine, however, my wifi no longer works. It shows that I have an established connection yet it does not function. I have tried software solutions but am thinking it is a hardware issue since it only began after I replaced the battery. I am a beginner at this and am hoping for some input, thank you very much. I've attached a photo of the interior of the laptop in case there are any glaring issues. submitted by /u/msjk01 [link] [comments]

2018 MacBook Air Won't Boot Into Recovery Menu?

Picked up a 2018 MacBook Air at a thrift shop for $80, trying to wipe it but I can't get into the recovery menu. Holding Command+R just gets it to sit at the Apple logo with no progress bar, and doesn't do anything. If I hold Option I can get into the disk selection menu, but that's it. Tried PRAM/SMC reset, but nothing. submitted by /u/jimmyl_82104 [link] [comments]

Hello. My usage is not CPU intensive but heavily taxed on RAM. I will have a large number of Safari tabs and windows open. Also stream music, watch Apple TV, and occasional Photo library viewing.

It is beyond slow, takes 5-10 seconds to open an application. Even to click the search bar in safari. Sequoia 15.2 is downloading and waiting to install currently. 971.34 GB available of 1 TB. How can I make it faster? Step by step instructions and links to products I need to buy would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! submitted by /u/caitnicrich [link] [comments]

2019 Mac Pro - 6900 XT - Boot Camp only uses 580X MPX Module

I installed a new Radeon 6900 XT into my Mac Pro 7,1 which works great in Big Sur 11.4 - however, it's not recognized at all in Boot Camp and I cannot get the AMD Adrenaline drivers installed at all as it does not recognize it. I have the 580x MPX Module with the LG 5K Ultrafine, and a 30" ACD connected via the 6900's Display Port. I tried installing these drivers: BootCampDrivers.com: Turbo-charged AMD graphics drivers for Mac BootCamp users. (the red) and now I have complete black screens on restart. I am about to start...

2019 Mac Pro - Installing my own NVMe as boot

In my Mac Pro 7,1, I am going to install a WD NVMe that supports 7,000 MB/s as boot drive via an NVMe PCIe card. I plan to clone my current Monterey boot drive onto it. I know there is something about keeping the existing Apple NVMe's installed due to the T2 chip, but wondered about other people's experience with this. Can I completely remove the Apple NVMe's?

2019 Mac Pro + AMD Radeon PRO W6600 — Compatible?
by Guest lem0nayde- 0 replies
- 3 views
Does anyone know if the non-MPX version of Pro W6600 is compatible with the 2019 Mac Pro and the latest version of macOS? I’m looking for a card that can sit in Slot 5 (e.g., only needs a 6-pin 75w power source) so that it can run my display while my more powerful GPUs are used for rendering. The 6600 was the only thing I’ve found that mouth fit the power requirements AND has a macOS driver. Source: MacRumors

2019 Mac Pro Errors detected on memory module

Well this sucks. I had just swapped the processor out to a 28-core Xeon. All seems fine for several weeks. Now I'm getting "errors detected on memory module". At first, I thought it was a particular ram module, so I moved the module to a different slot, but then two more errors popped up on different ram modules (some genuine apple, some not). This confirmed it wasn't a particular ram module at all. Anyone else have this issue before? Is it due to the 28-Core Xeon I purchased on ebay? It was... Read more Source: MacRumors

I recently got my hands on the Service Manual for the 2019 Mac Pro. The 2010-2012 Service Manual was incredibly helpful, and nobody else seems to be hosting this, so I figured I might as well contribute to the community a bit.
