Got a tip for us?

I wasn't sure if I could do that but I'll try. I was wondering if the slot one is designated for video only???
Ok so that works, I see both of the video cards. It even asked me if I wanted to change the PCIe slot lane configurations to get optimal bandwidth.
But regardless, it will not do anything with the gtx 570 it doesn't detect monitors when I plug them into it. It's like something is crippled on that card now.
Any suggestions??
Check the Nvidia Driver, if it is on, turn it off and reboot. If it is off, turn off and reboot.
Does 570 have both power cables plugged in?
Yes changed stock to web driver, reboot, switched slots it's really strange.
I don't know if there's a problem going from a higher generation Nvidia like the gtx 970 back down to the 570???
Very odd, I don't know why the AX6450 won't work anymore, but I'll try that again next.
Is there some file that stores graphics card parameters I might need to flush???
Also I was using switchResX I just uninstalled it but it doesn't seem to see the cinema 30 monitor still....
Going from one card version down to another shouldn't matter. Double check that both power cables were plugged all the way in and the card was seated all the way into the slot.
Well it's now working with the AX6540
The RV630 is now not displaying the resolution on the asus mx299 correctly. Similar to when it was telling me I needed to use a DVI dual cable.
The AX6540 is running the Cinema 30" screen.
I'll try one more time with the GTX Really odd problem.
Interesting thing is the GTX 570 is now happily running a gpu bench mark on ubuntu.
Really have no clue why it's not detecting monitors, but maybe it'll wake back up after successful boot in linux?

Not yet... Still on 10.3.9.. upgraded to Yosemite, while it does work there's plenty of bugs. Trying to get some info on how to boot off of my 10.7.5 OS drive since it panics, while the HD with Yosemite works.
Are you saying that is says it IS compatible or NOT... if it says it is only compatible with 10.7+ and you are trying to install on 10.10+, that is weird though Avid hasn't approved of PT11 on Yosemite just yet. If I get PT11, I will try it out.
Pro Tools 11 minimum OS is 10.8 and up, including 10.10.
I'm on Pro Tools 11.3 on my 2 Mac Pros and it works like a charm in 10.9. I used it in Yosemite as well but I've gone back to Mavericks since.
Your Mac Pro is fine, even if not officially supported by Avid. I have PT 11 on my 1,1, no issue whatsoever.
Be more specific regarding your setup but it's probably way off topic, PM me if you'd like.
Sorry to post again so soon... I'm just dead in the water and need to get back to my 10.7.5 for a few projects this weekend. I've read through just about everything I could to see if anyone else had brought this issue up and nothing I could find. Thanks!
Mac Pro 1,1
10.10 on SSD boots fine
10.7.5 on another HDD will not boot
Apple Radeon HD5870 flashed

Ok, maybe it is the yosemite, I read where someone had issues loading on 10.10 it thinks it is 10.1 -

Just looked it up: Pro Tools 11.3 supports Mac OS X 10.10 & 10.10.1 (Yosemite), 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
Now... back to my HD issues... haha..
It would not. I had a very recent backup in time machine so restored from there last night and now they both boot fine.. Odd but I'll take it.
Thanks for the response!
Ok, well at least you are up and running again. I suspect something happened to the kernel cache.
OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac
Hi Davy, I have the exact same issue! How did you sort it?

Hi Peloche,
I get exactly the same message booting from installer:
"OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac"
How did you sort this out? I am struggling!
Already changed "board-ID" and "Model no.", but still no success.
Can you help me?

Hi all,
Lot of work already done, congrats !
Made a try with GM Candidate 1 for installer and Hennesie most recent "silly" boot.efi.
Installer boots correctly i get the following message:
"OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac."
Despite i'm using only one HDD on the MacPro that is a new 120GB SSD with 2 partitions :
1 x 8Go including the installer
and
1 x 112 Go empty for Yosemite to be installed.
Really do not understand what is happening
Have you got any idea ?
Thanks,
Update 1:
I've used the first installer i made for Yosemite 1 and changed original boot.efi with new ones, i get the same result when running this install:
"OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac."

yosemite allready installed message.....
You have to copy manually the BaseSystem.chunklist and basesystem.dmg to the root of the USB stick.
Thats all.

Thank you for posting this. That step is part of my guide so I had never encountered this issue and had no idea what was causing it.
Clearly you did something wrong.
In a technical set of instructions it is important to follow every step EXACTLY. No "rounding up" or "close enough for government work".
If you have a Mac that can natively run Yosemite you can cut the uncertainty way down.
I just tried installing mavericks on my mac pro 1,1 with stock 7300 gt 256mb and I used that ssoft terminal program to make the usb flash mavericks install for the 1,1 machine and and it booted right up and I started the install and about half ways a stops with a error message window, Error I got said something like "install failed, the software failed on this machine" had a yellow explanation point, something like that so I shut down the mac pro.
What you guys think is it because of the 7300gt 256mb card in it currently,or need to redo the ssoft flash drive? Thanks
Also another question with lion installed can a pc nvidia card like a gtx 560ti work with or without flashing the card in lion or does it have to be mountain lion and up?

When you make the USB key... Step 1... using disk utility to copy the image to the key... RESTORE the image to the patron, do not copy the image to the key as such.
Would also pay to do step ZERO and format the USB key with ONE partition and ensure the disk type is GUID.

OS X Yosemite is already installed on this Mac
Hi and thanks for your reply!
The method I am using is the pre-patched Piker-Alpha bootable Yosemite installer, so BaseSystem.chunklist and basesystem.dmg are already there. Just double checked it!
I have downloaded this file from MEGA, "Yosemite Installer.dmg" as this thread suggests and restored the very image to my USB thumb drive.
Just to make sure that the installer recognized my Mac, I've added "board-ID" and "model no." to "PlatformSupport.plist" located on the USB.
Still no success, please advise...
