Hardware :: Adding Memory To MacPro?

Sep 6, 2009

If you add more memory to your MacPro and keep the original memory in the slots but for some reason that memory isn't being read, It looks like tht memory is not compatible with the new memory.

So, will keeping the memory in there mess up the system?

OS X :: Adding Memory And Then Running The Memory Utility Application?

Mar 21, 2009

I just bought a early 2009 MAC Pro and it came with 3GB of RAM, I ordered 3 2GB sticks of memory to replace the 3 1GB sticks that I had in there from Kingston. I turned off the unit, I popped the little levers and pulled the memory out of slot 1, 2, 3 and then replaced the memory with the new Kingston in slot 1, 2, 3

One of the sticks in is not working at all and I get the RED LED light no matter what slot I move that chip to. So I am running on 2 of the new Kingston memory chips.

Can I mix the memory and add the 1GB into slot 3 and 4 with slot 1 and 2 full of 2GB chips?

Also how to I run the memory utility again? I went to /system/Library/CoreServices/ and then I see the program Memory Slot Utility.app

How do I run this? I'm used to no spaces and I type ./then program name

Mac :: 2.8 X 8 MacPro Running Hotter Since Memory Upgrade?

Mar 16, 2009

I just took advantage of the cheaper Trans'intal Memory available online and upgraded from 8GB to 12GB.Subjectively the machine now sounds noiser, but Hardware Monitor shows there is no increase in the fan speeds, ie same as prior to upgrade. However Hardware monitor definitely shows an increase in temperature in the Memory banks, has anyone else had this experience?

Mac Pro :: MacPro Memory Configuration/7G With 3x1g And 1x4g?

Oct 19, 2009

Sorry I have already asked this question in another thread, but it's kinda lost in the middle of a ton of other questions...

For monetary purposes, I would like to by the MacPro with the default 3g (3x1g) from Apple and by a fourth Ram module, but a 4g this time...

Is this even going to work ? No even talking about optimization, etc. ?

Will it detect and be able to use the full 7g ?

Adding Memory To 2010 Mac Pro

May 8, 2012

I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 2x2.4ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. There is a currently 6gb of RAM installed, and two open slots: url...I'm looking at purchasing either an 8gb or 16gb module from here: url...Will one of those modules work fine with what is currently installed in my computer? Would it be worth doing two 8gb modules rather than one 16gb? This would be cheaper but not sure how performance would compare.

Info:
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Power Mac G5 :: Adding Memory - Does RAM Need To Be Paired?

Dec 13, 2007

I'm upping the RAM in two PowerMac G5's. One is an early 2005 DUAL 2G. The other is the later 2005 DUAL 2.3. They currently have the stock RAM that came with them: 512MB for the Dual 2.0G; and 1GB for the Dual 2.3. I'd like to get them both up to between 2-4GB's each. I'm willing to go with third party RAM if it's at all compatible, ya' know the Kingston kinda stuff. That's all I can afford to bring them up to par with RAM.

Is there any standard compatibility issues when running RAM outside of OEM stuff? Also, does the RAM need to be paired? or even numbered? For example, if I had 2GB+512MB of RAM in one machine would this work? Do they have to be even in slot usage? Also, if third party compatible, would any matching spec RAM work or is there something "APPLE" specific about RAM? Example: G5-dual 2.3 requires 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-4200).... would any matching spec RAM work?

Information:
PowerMac G5
Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hardware :: Adding More Memory To An IMac?

Jun 7, 2010

How should I go about adding more memory to my 2008 iMac? I currently have 1gb and I would like to upgrade to 4-6gb, depending on the price. I've heard OWC is pretty good all around, but it appears to be that they're only compatible up to 2007 imacs, so I'm assuming that wouldn't work for my computer. What's a good, reliable, and cost-efficient brand that will be compatible for the computer I have? and how would I install it?

PowerPC :: HardDrive G5 To MacPro / Crucial Mem To MacPro

Sep 28, 2006

1) Can I take my secondary drive in my Powermac G5 and install it into my forthcoming Mac Pro ? Or is the SATA interface different on the new machines.

2) Ordering extra memory from Crucial to save $, what's the situation with 'fans' and things on the memory. I'm confused, totally. Does the mac pro's require additional heat cooling on the memory, does the memory from crucial come with this, is it easy to install like the powermac or am I going to be left floundering like a fish out of water....

PowerPC :: Adding Memory - G4 Not Recognize Bottom Slot

Jul 4, 2008

I have a Powerbook G4 that I wanted to upgrade to 1.5G from 512MB. So I added Corsair 1GB DDR RAM to the notebook and it seems to have issues recognizing both at the the same time. When I put both of them in together, it never seems to recognize the bottom slot. Putting in the 512MB in the bottom w/o the 1GB the Powerbook boots up fine. Putting in the 1GB by itself and it gives beeping noises on bootup, but it'll boot up if I put it on the top slot.

Mac Pro :: GTX 285 Mac Edition In MacPro 1,1?

Jul 17, 2010

The 8800GT in my Mac Pro 1,1 just died. I'm back up with the 7300 for now.

Can I adapt the EVGA's GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition for use? It comes with the cables, and I more than willing to pay the extra $$$ to save myself hunting around for parts.

I'm also a bit confused about the 4870 upgrade. Does the Apple version work out of the box on my 1,1? If so, maybe that's the way to go for now?

OS X :: Hard Drive Memory Disappearing / Memory Reducing At Startup

Aug 26, 2010

I have a iMac DV G3/500 (Special Edition) from summer 2000. Anyway, I am using Mac OS 10.2.8. Recently, my start up disk's memory has gone done from 1.2 GB available free space to 668MB (currently). I haven't saved anything on this disk so I can not understand why this memory has dissappeared. I have also had icons on the start up menu disappear. Could someone please tell me how I can restore the missing memory?

Mac Pro :: MacPro Raid And Bootcamp?

Feb 29, 2008

I'm putting together a workstation that primarily is going to be used for Windows development and I wanted to have as fast a disk subsystem as possible.

It doesn't seem to be BootCamp drivers available for the card that Apple sells, so I found this card instead:

[URL]
It has EFI firmware and is able to boot MacOSX from raid arrays. The only question is if it is able to boot stuff through Bios emulation.

Vista x64 is the primary target here, and SP1 actually has EFI booting support, so it might be possible to use this. However when I tried to install Vista x64 with SP1 integrated on the MacBook Air I wasn't even able to boot installer DVD because of EFI incompatibilities.

Anyone have any experiences with booting BootCamp on a MacPro with a raid card?

PowerPC :: Need To Upgrade From G5 To MacPro?

Mar 4, 2008

I am a student who is currently starting to work on some at home projects with cartoon animation (Toon Boom) and Video Editing (Final Cut/After Effects). I have a Dual 2.0 G5 with 1G Ram. Would there be a significant advantage in upgrading to a Dual 2.8 Mac Pro? I could probably get 700-800 dollars for the current computer so, would dropping 2000 on a new tower give me a huge boost in performance? (Money is kind of an issue but not if the difference is staggering.) Or should I just upgrade the RAM on my current tower, be happy with what I have and quit jabbering?

Mac Pro :: Woodcrest MacPro- Benefit From SL?

Jun 5, 2009

With Snow Leopard on the horizon, and there already being some 64bit operating systems out there which are a hassle to get working with the "woodcrest" MacPro machines, eg, W7 x64 is a no go, and I have read that it is a PITA to get Vista x64 going(and a waste of time anyway). It has gotten me thinking, will Snow Leopard work in true 64bit form in the machine that was advertised as a 64bit Pro workstation?I am eager too see how much of a difference Grand Central and Open CL make!

OS X :: Upgrading Macpro Internal HD To SSD?

Jun 25, 2009

I'd like to change my system drive on my Mac Pro to the Intel X25-m 160 gig I just purchased.When I previously upgraded my laptop to SSD, I used carbon copy cloner to clone the internal drive onto the SSD.Unfortunately, I had a couple of authorization issues, one of which being for CS3. Somehow cloning the internal drive onto the SSD and replacing the internal drive with the SSD tripped up the authorizations.

On my Mac Pro I have a few more programs I'm worried about having to reauthorize if the same thing happens. All programs are legal installs, so I could reauthorize, but it is a headache. Especially since some of the companies only allow a certain number of installations and having changed laptops and desktops since purchasing the apps means that some of these programs will require the lengthy process of emailing and explaining the situation to the manufacturer.Given that I'm just trying to change the startup drive, how can I avoid these issues?

Mac Pro :: SSD XP Pro/Bootcamp On 2007 Macpro?

Sep 2, 2009

Would like to run WinXP pro on an SSD drive on a 8 core 3Ghz Mac pro.

Tried initially placing this drive on one of the two xtra SATA ports and mounting it where the extra CD drive goes, then discovered that Windows won't recognize and would need drivers/hacking etc.

Have decided to put it in regular bay 4 and use bootcamp. Do I need to install any special drivers to maximize the ability of Windows to access this drive?

Model Identifier:MacPro2,1
Processor Name:Quad-Core Intel Xeon

OS X :: MacPro Network Name Keeps Getting Renamed?

Apr 27, 2010

First My Home Network:

Airport Extreme N, current model, separate discrete g and n networks. G network is set up in WDS mode to extend Airport Express which is connected to a MP via Ethernet. My other Macs are 100% wireless.

The problem:

The network name of my MP is randomly changed. The original name was simply "MacPro." Then it started to change it's name to MacPro (1), MacPro (2), etc., thinking there was already a computer with the same name in use when it was the same computer all along.

The message I get looks like this:

I only have this problem on my MP, which again, is connected to an Airport Express via Ethernet. This problem doesn't exist on my machines that have an Airport card installed.

Anyone know what is causing this, and more importantly, how to stop it?
