Has any W6800x owners come across overheating or performance issues with Adobe products? My current setup is 3.3 12-core, 96gb 2933 mhz ddr with the stock 580x card It seems like it's been slowing down for quite some time. My M1 Max laptop just seems so much snappier and quicker. I mainly work with Photoshop and Lightroom with some Premiere work here and there. I realized I can even hold more tabs open on my MBP than my Mac Pro even though I have more ram on my Mac Pro. Do you guys think... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi EveryOne, After an issue about a serious shutdown, i've reed some posts about my potential issue. Then I do my best to find the knowledge about to do the best to find the Issue with your recommendations. The mac is a CMP 4.1 --> 5.1 --> 144.0.0.0.0 First thing , I read the posts to upgrade the mac pro from the last firmware to put a nvme with the RIITOP M2TPCE + Sabrent Rocket 2280 M.2 PCIe in Slot 3, it works but i did not have time to format the Disk on time (it's FAT 32 maybe)...

I wonder if anyone else is having this issue? I will be at a bus stop/train station, and tracking the vehicle in Apple Maps, and all of a sudden if it says there is less than say 3-5 minutes remaining, the bus/train just "falls off" the map and it shows me the next one that is coming instead. Is this just to prevent people from running for a bus or something? This does not happen in Transit, Google, or my local transit agency's app. So I assume the issue is with Apple.

Hi, We are having a problem and I'd need Your advice. How can we transfer all iphone 4s data to new iphone 12mini if: - old macbook we own does not have usb-c port so itunes backup is not possible - new macbook pro m1 14` we own does not have older usb port, but even when connected via hub, won't help much as we cannot instal itunes on this computer - migrating data when iphones are next to each other won't work - probably due to old iphone 4s system - icloud data is limited to 5gb so it's...

I recently installed Catalina on my mac pro 3,1 (early 2008) using dosdude1's patcher, and I really like the result except for one thing: none of my usb/serial adaptors work. I have FTDI and CH340 devices which used to work before the install, and still work on a laptop with a supported Catalina install, but none of them work on my mac pro. They appear in /dev when plugged in, and system report shows them correctly, but they won't communicate correctly either using CoolTerm or any device... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi, Does anyone have a high end 2019 Mac Pro and can comment on what Windows virtualization is like with VMWare or Parallels? I prefer to have Mac OS on one monitor, then have a Windows 10 OS on another monitor and switch between the two via a virtualization program. Would Windows be efficient and snappy enough to do light gaming, video editing, etc? I assume it would be "good enough" to do most tasks, but wondering what the overall experience would be like, especially something intensive... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi, has anyone tried installing Windows 11 beta on 7,1? I already have Windows 10 installed and when I ran the upgradability check tool, it said since there is no TPM 2.0 installed Windows 11 is impossible. But I think this can be an error as it seems like Windows 11 supports even older Intel CPU’s, but I might be wrong as this is Xeon processor. Any experience sharing will be great. Thanks.

Ok, I need some help here because I am going crazy. I cannot get my contacts to sync across my iPhone and newly purchased MacBook Pro. I also somehow managed to mess up the contacts on my phone because the names are not appearing in the text messaging thread when they were definitely there before. I do have two MacBook Pros, the older one is running an old MacOs, and contacts are also not syncing there either. Any advice or assistance would be very much appreciated!!! I do need to keep the...

After successfully installing and using Monterey via OCLP on my 4,1->5,1 for a couple of weeks. I decided (big mistake) to switch to Opencore 0.7.6, to use the Thunderbolt card. Now I'm unable to boot my machine. Even after booting 4 times (PRAM) the screen never turns on and then shuts off before displaying anything. The Mac Pro (2009) has been modified with the pixlas mod and I'm using a 5700xt. 48gb RAM, dual 5680. One blank SSD in the Bay 1, with High Sierra installer on a USB. Anyone...

Hello, i've just bought a MP1.1 just to do some tinkering. I flashed it to the 2.1 aswell as installed OS X 10.7.5. When I was in the middle of installing, my monitor got black, i thought it was a faulty graphics card at first, but then I replaced it with a GT240, still nothing. So I tried everything (PRAM Reset, replace the PRAM battery,), still nothing, BUT I sometimes get it to boot to my SL DVD, which then wont go past the ,,blue screen''. Can anyone help me bcs i just bought a GTX680... Read more Source: MacRumors

I am thinking about upgrading my setup to a new Mac Pro 7,1 + Pro Display XDR. (I may wait a few more weeks because of the rumors of Apple possibly speed bumping the current MP.) The price Apple asks for the W6900X seems ridiculous compared to retail prices of a RX 6900 XT – the latter even seems to perform better under some tests seen at barefeats.com. Is there any downside or anything speaking against a setup like this: - Mac Pro 7,1 with cheapest Apple GPU option 580X - Sapphire Nitro+... Read more Source: MacRumors

So, anyone else getting hum from speakers connected to their 4,1 or 5,1 when doing graphical things since installing the RX580? By which I mean, when I quicklook an image in finder, I have a buzz coming from the attached speakers while the image is opening out, or in Aperture, the speakers hum while moving an adjustment slider. It could be that I'm only hearing it because I've got a bunch of different devices going into a passive audio mixer (belkin rockstar) and out to the one set of... Read more Source: MacRumors

I'm trying to install any debian-based version of linux (ie, Ubuntu) on my Mac Pro 7,1 but am unable. I ran the Ubuntu desktop live-usb one time and managed to get ubuntu mostly installed on a separate nvme drive in a PCIe slot, albeit ruining my windows bootcamp partition on the Apple internal SSD. I deleted the Linux and bootcamp partitions and recreated the bootcamp partition and try to install again without grub this time. Now I get a series of error and the live-usb won't boot. I took...

I have a MP5,1 desktop which has been on High Sierra for a while, and I've been avoiding the Mojave+ upgrades forever. I reviewed the sticky master thread here and it seems to me like my computer should accept Mojave just fine, but I cannot figure out what is going wrong with the Mojave upgrade. It seems to be able to go through the install just fine, but then after the whole thing completes, and seems like it is doing the final reboot into the (new) login screen, it enters a boot...

'13 MP, I have been using an APC Smart-UPS for almost 9 years, battery most recently replaced 18 months ago.

Hi all, I have a problem with my iPhone 6 64GB software version 12.5.5. I changed my dock connector after charging problems. Hereafter the charging worked again but a new problem was present: When calling I hear no sound or dial tone, also the person I’m calling to doesn’t hear me. The network connection is working and the phone is ringing on both sides. This problem is not always there, sometimes calling works fine. I checked all the speakers and microphones and they are working well... Read more Continue reading...
