I removed all other drives and inserted a new Crucial M500 SSD, booted the machine into TDM and attached it via Firewire to my Mavericks friendly 2010 iMac. I decided therefore to attempt the same trick with the Mac Pro. This was achieved by launching the machines in Target Disk Mode (TDM), attaching them via Firewire to my Mac Mini G4 and running the installation from there.

SMCFANCONTROL FOR MAC WONT RUN YOSEMITE INSTALL
Some months ago I managed to install a later, unsupported version of OS X onto both my iMac G4 and Cube. I actually took an alternative route to get Mavericks on to my 1,1 but still required Tiamo’s rewritten boot.efi. Recently it has become possible, thanks to the excellent work of Tiamo over on the Mac Rumours forum to install Mavericks on the 1,1 without the need for Legacy Boot and additional drives. The most common I’ve seen being running the Chameleon boot loader from a separate drive using legacy boot, Jabbawok created a guide. A number of hacks have been in the wild for some time and allow you to get around this limitation.

My Pro is the very first of the Intel machines introduced and is crippled by a 32bit EFI although the Xeon CPUs are of course 64 bit. Later versions require a 64bit EFI to boot. The last version of OS X officially supported for the Mac Pro 1,1 is 10.7.5 Lion. However I have a number of other Macs and have become accustomed to running OS X Mavericks and would really like to be able to run it on the 1,1. From a performance perspective I’m still not suffering any great hardship with my Mac Pro 1,1. After factoring in the costs of adding Thunderbolt equipped external storage it is also impossible to justify the cost. It therefore seems likely that I’m not alone in still running one of these venerable machines.Īfter what seems like an eternity waiting for the new Mac Pro to arrive, as superb as it is it doesn’t suit my needs. The upgrades were a success and the posts I made such as upgrading the Xeon CPUs remain some of this blog’s most popular. I decided to try some cheaper RAM without the Apple approved heatsinks to bring the total system memory up to 26 GB.īack in 2012 I made a numer of upgrades to my Mac Pro to try to extend its useful life. One other problem that I have which I believe is more likely to be related to some new RAM that I’ve installed is the fans spinning up much higher than usual on wake from sleep. I’ve also been experiencing random wakes from sleep (wake for ethernet access is not enabled) along with the SSD that I have installed on a card in a PCI slot being randomly ejected. I’ve resolved the graphic glitches for now by selecting ‘Reduce transparency’ in the Accessibility settings.

Installed the 10.10.1 update with no apparent problems. I’m not sure if this is specific to Lightroom or a wider issue. I have experienced a few graphical glitches whilst using Lightroom 4. Not a huge issue, I may get around to calling customer support as prompted by the pop up window if I feel the need to see if it can be resolved. The install itself went smoothly and early tests indicate that everything appears to be working with the exception of Facetime which was also broken for me under Mavericks. Secondly I used Pike’s new boot.efi, (thank you to commenter Ralph Sampson for pointing me in the right direction) as I believe Tiamo’s existing version will not work.

Firstly, instead of installing on to a newly formatted SSD I decided to try the upgrade route and install on to my existing drive thus preserving all of my installed applications. There were only two things that I did differently. Using almost the same method as outlined in that post I have a working installation of Yosemite. You can read all about the method I used to install Mavericks despite this limitation in this previous post:- Mac Pro 1,1 and Mavericks. As many of you will know the original 2006 Intel powered Mac Pro does not sport the required 64bit EFI to allow either Mavericks or Yosemite to install via the usual method. Having let the dust settle a little from the initial release of OS X Yosemite, I decided to take the plunge and see if I could coax it on to my Mac Pro 1,1.
