I'm considering upgrading my Mac Pro 5,1 to Sonoma or Sequoia. It's currently running dual X5690 processors and an RX 6600 XT graphics card. I've already replaced the network card, and other components aren't relevant to this upgrade.
I previously tried installing Ventura, but it failed to...

In a previous post I had mistakenly indicated High Sierra as the current operating system when I should have written Yosemite. I purchased the PRO WX 5100 8G GPU which was recommended to me if I want to have fewer power supply problems. I would like to know if I have to install the new GPU...

it is widely known that 10G network adapters using Aquantia 107 or 113 chipsets stopped working with the upgrade from macOS 12.2.1 to 12.3. in fora of both, the OC/OCLP and the hackintosh communities, the issue was discussed, lamented, declared as solved … but none of the solutions actually...
Hi Hopefully someone can assist my 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 keeps freezing shortly after booting. I believe it’s Graphics Card related bc I was editing a lot of 4k footage recently. I’ve also been experiencing problems with the Titan ridge thunderbolt that I use for my audio interface and it’s causing...

I installed MacOS Big Sur version 11.7.2 today (I upgraded from Catalina). The reason I did this was because my other apps in Adobe could not be...
Hi All,
BACKSTORY:
I have a classic problem which I have been reading about on here for hours but cannot work out if I have found the easiest solution or not?
I have a MacPro 5.1 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders addition that I want to take past 10.13.6 (Spec below).
The main use of...
I have a scenario where I'd like to flip the default behavior one sees with OpenCore (specifically OpenCore Legacy Patcher) wherein the integrated SATA controller on a MacPro5,1 shows all attached drives internal (aka `built-in`) drives. Note this behavior is defined in the DeviceProperties...
Friends, I have a Mac Pro 5.1 system Now I have Catalina installed, I installed it through the Catalina patcher
I understand that other systems can not be installed just as easily. Tell me, does it make sense to switch to new systems?
What is the most stable system for our Mac Pro 5.1 ?
My...
Hi, newbie here
I've created a macOS Catalina on USB Flash drive using 'Install macOS Catalina.app' (specific to my device) and the 'createinstallmedia' command. It goes through the process including making disk bootable and mounting it.
In order to run the USB installer, I restart but my...
Hi All,
I was searching around the threads for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I have a 2009 cMP 5,1 that I've updated to Big Sur (11.2.3). Used OCLP since it seemed like just a quick way to get set up. I loaded everything onto a 2.5" SSD in bay 1 from the USB drive, but I want to use a...
Hi,
I have a flashed (4,1 to 5,1) Mac Pro that was running Mojave with no problems until....I decided to give it to a friend and erased the HD and seem to have erased the OS too!!
I have tried to make a bootable installer on a USB stick (which seemed to go fine) except when I hold down the...
I recently bought from OWC their Mercury Electra 6G SSD, installed it on their Accelsior S PCIe adapter card, and plugged that in to my MP5,1 in an empty 16x PCIe II slot.
I tried it out as a combined boot drive and data drive. Its performance was terrible.
So to try to understand why, I ran...
HELP! My Mac is getting kind of sluggish while I'm working with it. It's been a couple of months already. I do only mail stuff on Safari, after about 15 minutes, then it becomes very slow creating or deleting tabs on Safari, even when I click on the Mac logo, it takes like 1 sec to respond. I...
My cousin is getting married and I am gifting them a loaded Mac Pro 2009 (4,1 flashed to 5,1) to share and use.
The are both Audio Engineers that do a lot of video work, and the guy likes to game. They also already both use Mac's, but are complaining that they can't update their MacOS versions...
Howdy all!
This has probably been asked a number of times, but I cant seem to find a search result that inspires a lot of confidence for accurate information.
At the risk of violating mac rumors policies, im asking if its possible to modify a vega 56 to show a boot screen, as is possible with...
When I purchased my new Sapphire 11265-05-20G Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/ DVI-D/ Dual DP OC W/BP (UEFI) LITE (from Newegg) I only made a cursory investigation into the necessary Dual Mini 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCI-E Power Adapter required to power the GPU.
Now that the card is kaput after...
G'day,
The original Superdrive in my MacPro5,1 was getting pretty clunky sounding so I purchased a Pioneer BluRay Superdrive BDR-209DBK to replace it.
Initially I just stuck it in the lower optical bay, expecting everything to be rosy, but the Mac wouldn't recognise it. (Was running Mavericks...
