2006/2007 Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) and OS X El Capitan

[peterc18st]

Hello friends,

I did the USB install thumbdrive for OSX El Capitan with pikify3.1v8 Everything went well and smoothly no errors at all, until I tried to install the actual upgrade into my MP1.1, by double clicking the only thing I can see in that thumb drive; The OSX Capitan Installer...

I'm ending up to the error "This version of OSX cannot be installed into this Computer".. To be clear, I was trying to execute the update inside existing Yosemite 10.10.5 installation. Straight in running GUI. Perhaps I'm just doing it wrong, my apologies for my stupidity- but could you guys give me some advice, please?! I'm lacking the appropriate boot-compatible graphics right at the moment, so I would prefer a method, which could be started in running OSX.

Restart your mac Pro from the usb key by pressing the option key after you hear the startup chime. You should be greeted with options for your startup disk. Choose the usb key.

I thought that my cd key didn't copy the files properly when I made the key. But once I restarted and booted off the usb key I was golden.

Please go to page 56 and read post 1390 in its entirety. If you are planning to use the pikify usb install method.

In the terminal I do not have to install(settle) bone x el capitan but I have him(it) in the launchpad and I do not know how to put him(it) in the file(case) application

Hello wolf

I believe that the download of "Install OS X El Capitan.app" is incomplete. This is why you can see it in the Launchpad but cannot see it Applications.

To confirm this idea I will need to see the output from the command

ls -l /Applications

Please copy/paste the above command into a Terminal and post the output here

Thank you! I was not thinking enough- of course this works like you mentioned. Gonna try things again later today.

Hello wolf

You are making a typing error
Vous faites une erreur de frappe

You have typed /[space]Applications
Vous avez tapé /[espace]Applications

Please remove the [space]
S'il vous plaît supprimer l'espace

You MUST type accurately
Vous devez taper précision

ls -l /Applications
ls[space]-l[space]/Applications

 

[hwojtek]

I believe you got it almost right. There's one space too many after the "/". Instead of

ls -l /Applications

which yields something like:

Wojteks-Air:~ wojtek$ ls -l /Applications
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 wojtek  staff  102 Oct 23 09:18 A Better Finder Rename 9.app

drwxr-xr-x@  6 root    admin  204 Jul 31 16:55 Adobe Creative Cloud

you typed (note the space before "Applications")

ls -l / Applications

which has listed the root of your hard drive.
Please copy the first command above, not the one with the space, to Terminal and run it again.

EDIT: seems rthpjm beat me to this

Hello everybody.
First of all, a massive gigantic thanks to all the people involved here, you are making an amazing job.
It's been a long time since I put my hands in the dirt, and things have really changed, everything is clearer now, because of you.

I own a MacPro 2.1 with 12Gb of RAM running 10.7.5
The usb stick process with pikify3.1v8 is really smooth.
But for now I'm stucked to what seems to be the "essenttialsgate" according to a lot of users. (and my install.log)
It seems to me (but I'm not sure) that like you said, this is a RAM related issue.

After some tries my RAM was very hot, and sometimes system profiler would be confused by saying it has only 10GB RAM instead of 12.
I solved this problem by taking out and in the risers.
(I have to say that this issue was sometimes happening randomly on my system, I assume my macpro is old, so sometimes it coughes.)
After 3 failures, my macpro begun to restart randomly (which is a common issue whith those old machines)

So.

My plans are :

- Big cleaning of the MacPro.

- Buy some RAM (unfortunately the german seller you all seems to point toward to, is out of stock for now)

- Try again.

- Try with another method, maybe peter's guide.

- First installing mavericks, and then try with El Captain

- never surrender until I success.

I attached my Console Log and RAM emplacement screenshot.

Hi, I used the RAM with large heatsinks as it was what Apple specified but others have used more ordinary RAM and it seems to have worked OK. I would increase it to as much as you can afford - 32GB doesn't cost too much. Worth blasting out the dust as this will aid cooling. I think the install method using another supported Mac doesn't require 12gb so may be the way to go if you don't wish to buy more RAM. There is lots of info on here outlining this.

 

[haroldcnew]

Hello Again.
Don't ask me why, but before leaving I gave it a last try.
And It worked
I'm writing this message from El Captain ship

Edit : Much better with a decent graphic card

Why do you keep adding spaces everywhere on the ls command?

Just select, copy and paste the command EXACTLY as it's written in rthpjm's post (#1736)

I seem to remember wolf saying that s/he is using an online translation tool (maybe reverso, I can't remember). It is probably that tool that is inserting the spaces. It is frustrating though.

It looks like the installer download was never completed then. Can you tell use the size of your "install OS X El Capitan" file? It should be around 6GB iirc

On dirait que le téléchargement de l'installeur n'a pas été complété comme il faut. Est-ce que tu peux vérifier la taille de "install OS X El Capitan"? ça devrait faire autour de 6GB si je ne me trompe pas...

Hello,

Just for your knowledge, I've upgraded my MP1.1 Yosemite into El Capitan 10.11.2 via Pikify3.1v8 method. For the start, everything looked fine, until I noticed that my Language settings were half in English and other half in Finnish. It was set to Finnish. So I set English to my primary language and booted. In next boot, computer hangs to the white screen right before desktop rising. After couple of boots I see the message that my account cannot be used to login. My admin account worked and I logged in with that. I needed to delete my existing account and recreate it before I got the situation under my control. In new account I then switched my language back into Finnish, most of us want to operate with our native language.. Of course I needed also to adjust my Home-folder location again to the new account I created. I also executed Onyx after all these measurements to be sure there's no errors hiding somewhere. Everything looks fine now.

My conclusion is, that it would be better to really stick to the former advice, to avoid upgrades and stick to installing fresh- and then restoring everything else from the backups.

Thanks for this awesome work, which enables this non-supported way of using up-to-date new OSX on old Mac without deeper knowhow and expertise! Hopefully my finding are useful for somebody!

Hello wolf
Bonjour wolf

It would appear that your copy of 'Install Mac OS X El Capitan' file from the Applications folder is incomplete.

Il semblerait que votre copie de «Installer Mac OS X El Capitan» fichier depuis le dossier Applications est incomplète

I agree with the other peope. Please delete the 'Install Mac OS X El Capitan' file from the Applications folder, empty your Trash, and then download the application again from the App Store

Je suis d'accord avec les autres personnes. S'il vous plaît supprimer la «Install Mac OS X El Capitan» fichier dans le dossier Applications, vider votre corbeille, puis téléchargez à nouveau l'application sur l'App Store.

Hello,

Just for your knowledge, I've upgraded my MP1.1 Yosemite into El Capitan 10.11.2 via Pikify3.1v8 method. For the start, everything looked fine, until I noticed that my Language settings were half in English and other half in Finnish. It was set to Finnish. So I set English to my primary language and booted. In next boot, computer hangs to the white screen right before desktop rising. After couple of boots I see the message that my account cannot be used to login. My admin account worked and I logged in with that. I needed to delete my existing account and recreate it before I got the situation under my control. In new account I then switched my language back into Finnish, most of us want to operate with our native language.. Of course I needed also to adjust my Home-folder location again to the new account I created. I also executed Onyx after all these measurements to be sure there's no errors hiding somewhere. Everything looks fine now.

My conclusion is, that it would be better to really stick to the former advice, to avoid upgrades and stick to installing fresh- and then restoring everything else from the backups.

Thanks for this awesome work, which enables this non-supported way of using up-to-date new OSX on old Mac without deeper knowhow and expertise! Hopefully my finding are useful for somebody!

i upgraded from yosemite to El capitan, didn't had any trouble with french settings i use. all went fine for me.
you problem may be not related to pikify customization i think. but, maybe i am lucky.

Just wondering if anyone made a pre-patched DMG that can be downloaded and copied to a fresh USB for install for OS X 10.11 yet (like: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...os-x-yosemite.1740775/page-88#post-20537556)?

Use the Pikify method described in detail on this thread - it is pretty simple. I have not seen any pre-patched versions like there was with Yosemite though.

Good to know you managed to do your upgrade without probs. Perhaps I did something that I shouldn't.
