    Radeon 4870 in MP2,1 going haywire

    I have a few Mac Pros for various video/server/test uses, the "tail end Charlie" being an 8-core 2007 machine. I've played around w/ getting El Capitan on it (successfully). While I've used a Radeon 5770 w/ it in the past, I'm currently using my "least desirable" ElCap-friendly GPU laying...

    Graphics card for OS X Snow Leopard

    Hey guys, I had another thread going on a GPU replacement however I wanted to ask a slightly different question here. Since OS X Snow Leopard is the last OS to have Rosetta (enabling me to use many PowerPC application(s) and providing nostalgia), I would like to dual boot with El Capitan (latest...

    Was CVE-2016-7585 ever fixed for 10.11?

    It was the PCIleech problem (retrieving FileVault keys), that got fixed in 10.12.4. Looking at Apple’s website it looks like it was only fixed for Sierra and not El Cap?

    Reinstalling El Cap to empty disc

    I need to reinstall an OS onto a completely empty mid 2009 MBP. I can make the MBP a target disc from a Mac Mini with the El Cap installer on board but when I run it how do I direct the installation to the MBP rather than the Mini? Or is there a better strategy?

    iMac Pro running with El Capitan?

    Hi, I'm a freelance video editor and I'm currently working on a production that uses FCP 7 (Yes... you read that right). I have FCP 7 on my early 2008 Mac Pro, but I bought a new iMac Pro earlier this year and would like to use it for this job. We all know that FCP 7 is now obsolete with High...

    Hi guys, I'm facing a rather strange issue on my Mac Pro (2009, upgraded to the 5,1 firmware, if it makes a difference, running El Capitan 10.11.6). I recently added a hard drive coming from another mac inside it (actually, I cloned the drive from another mac running El Capitan, since the...

    I just need to install an OS -- any OS.

    I did that and a hundred other things. Some of the font messages have disappeared, but I'm still getting a bunch of "TSplicedFont failed creating descriptor for..." messages. It is weird that log entries continue to scroll even after the failure "An error occurred while preparing the...

    So I have a GTX 670 and a mac pro 1,1 that I've flash to be a 2,1. I currently have a 8800gt in it and it's pretty decent in el capitan in terms of os performance but I would still like to upgrade to the 670 so it could perform better in games. Thing is I have two os x installations (10.11.6 and...

    Can I use Final Cut Pro 10.4 with El Capitan?

    Noticed that Final Cut Pro 10.4 requires the latest OS. Not sure why this is enforced, but I'd rather stay on El Capitan as it has been solid with me. Has anybody attempted to use the latest Final Cut Pro on El Capitan and succeeded? Or does the new file system on High Sierra make this an...

    Increasing kernel panics in multiple minis w El Capitan

    Hey all, am hoping this is the right place to be posting this. Have mainly posted about my various Minis here since the (still running) early 2009 model. In 2014 and 2015 I began hoarding the late 2012 era minis, picked up one new and a couple refurbs from Apple, quad-core i7s. I run a lot of...

    Finder back button with last position.

    In icon view or list view if I go back(button or CMD+[), it lands on the previously viewed folder. I remember in Windows there is this option that took me directly to the enclosing folder with the item selected (just like CMD+ up arrow). Brief research shows that this was like that until El...
