Mac Pro :: Option Boot - 2010 Mac Pro 6 Core 3.33?

Oct 1, 2010

Anyone else had trouble option booting with a 2010 Mac Pro? Can't get to startup manager. All I get is a blank screen. Apple says it must be a hardware problem after having me test everything else. Keyboard checks out. Can boot from install disk holding C key, but cannot change startup disk with prefs to install dvd or to a cloned drive. Have reinstalled SL 10.6.4 from install disk. Zapped pram and unplugged power, held power button 5-10 secs. and plugged in again - to reset computer according to apple tech.

Mac Pro :: Swapping A 2009 10.6.5 Drive To A 2010 6-core?

Nov 12, 2010

So my question is -- do you know if this would be an issue swapping drives from a 2009 Mac Pro to a 2010 running 10.6.5 on the drive? Is there an OS performance hit running the 10.6.5 from the 2009's drive on the 2010 Mac Pro?

The reason I ask is because I am upgrading to a 3.33GHz 6-core, it's ordered and on the way. When it comes, I would just like to swap my SSD from my 2009 to the 2010 (running 10.6.5) and hope that everything runs OK. I don't want to have to re-install the new OS X build from the system disks and then update it, I would like it just to work correctly on the new Mac Pro.

Mac Pro :: Finding Quad Or 8 Core 2010 For Software Development?

Aug 21, 2010

This will primarily be used for application development, primarily with Xcode.

I'll also use it for photography/video (GIMP, and stepping into Aperture and Final Cut Express).

I've ruled out an iMac because I want plenty of expansion options.

I know Xcode scales linearly depending on the number of cores but I am trying to look for a sweet spot in performance and budget. I want something I can grow with for a few years (i.e 3-4).

MacBook Pro :: Constant Hard Freezes: 2010 2.66 GHz Core I7, OS X 10.7.3?

Feb 24, 2012

Starting today my 2010 Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7, OS X 10.7.3 (8 gigs ram) has experienced 4 "hard freezes" where the system locks up, itunes plays the same second of audio over and over, and nothing works (keyboard, trackpad, etc.. all frozen). You can't even make the caps lock key light up. This requires you to hold down the power button to reset. Obviously I'm very concerned that this is a hardware failure... or something is getting too hot. The thing is I'm not doing anything that crazy, no games or tons of programs open.

Intel Mac :: Boot Partition Error Message - Mid 2010 I7 Will Not Boot Past The Apple Logo

Apr 8, 2012

My mid 2010 iMac i7 will not boot past the apple logo? I'm running 10.7.3. I have tried restoring from TM backup from recovery mode (worked the last time this happened) however upon completion it returns to the recovery screen? I made a disk of Lion when I downloaded the first time (followed same instructions sourced from numerous websites) which does not seem to work when i set to start up from this disk, just gets to the grey screen and flicks between the apple logo, a folder icon with a question mark and the circle with line through? Now I can't eject the disk either, a message appears that system can't eject and to make sure all applications are closed? Not sure how to go about closing these applications without being able to start the system? When I tried booting from the Macintosh HD I got a message that the boot cache partition was faulty? I have ran disk permissions etc all ok.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: 10.7 Won't Boot Unless Hold Option Key And Select Boot Drive

Apr 27, 2012

Last week I finally upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7, but now my Mac Pro (2008) won't boot properly.  It'll start to boot with the gray screen and the Apple logo, but then the entire screen goes gray and it just locks up there.   However, if I reboot and hold down the Option key to bring up the list of bootable drives that works fine. I've checked my Startup Drive settings and the proper drive is selected. why it won't boot on it's own anymore?  Holding down the Option key is getting old.

MacBook Pro :: Option To Boot From Different Disks On Boot?

Jun 17, 2012

I'm asking this question for my brother. He has a 15-inch MacBook Pro (late 2011). He recently reinstalled OS X Lion but now every time he boots his computer he ALWAYS gets the option to chose Macintosh HD or Lion Recovery disk. I'm tech savy but I've tried resetting the PRAM and everything else I culd think of but he still gets that same screen. He is not pressing the option key when booting it just does it automaticlly. Should I do  reinstall OS X Lion aain for him or just take it back to Apple and have them look at it?

Mac Pro :: Upgrade 2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz To 2010 6 Core 3.33GHz?

Jul 28, 2010

I read that the new 6 core Mac Pro's use 32nm technology.

I guess this means a different mobo to the one in the 2009 4 core models?

Apple are offering an upgrade from 4 core to 6 core on the new models, so I'm wondering if I could do the same to my 2009 model or would it not be as simple to swap out the mobo as I think?

MacBook Pro :: Won't Boot Without Holding Down The Option Key

Dec 13, 2009

Alright I was going to load Windows on a partition thru Boot Camp. However I decided not to and then used the Boot Camp assistant to remove the Windows partition.

Ever since I got rid of the Windows partition, I've have to hold the OPTION key just to get my MBP to boot even though there is NO other operating system installed on the old partition. If I don't hold the OPTION key it won't boot, it just goes to a black screen.

I'm new to mac's and don't know what to do.

Windows On Mac :: Boot Camp (7 Pro X64) On Core I7 MBP 17" Not Supported

Apr 23, 2010

I installed a legal copy of Windows 7 Professional x64 on my new machine through Boot Camp.

All was well until I got to the desktop and wanted to begin installing updates. I noticed that it wasn't allowing me to get online, almost as if it wasn't detecting my wireless card. I thought this issue was because I hadn't run "setup.exe" from my Snow Leopard disc. So I put that in.

MacBook Pro :: 2010 MBP 13'' Boot Camp Crysis

Jul 7, 2010

I recently purchased the 13'' mbp (well my parents bought it for me because i was qualified for commercial pilot training in my country) and well besides the rough edges that hurt your wrists, I love my macbook pro, I love the interface, I love the design + the holy track pad (!) but as soon as I install boot camp things turned ugly, real uglyAfter struggling to install Windows 7 Home Premimum 64 bit's Drivers (It took me a long time to set windows to regconize that I need 64 bit drivers and not 32's) I grow more and more frustrated with the supplied drivers, it's horrible, the windows would frequently freeze and requires a shutdown. (I presume there's a problem with the NVDIA 320M driver). Another problem is that for some odd reason there's no fan running at all during windows operation! And yes I'm aware of the smrcfan restart thingy to transfer the setting over to windows but that is just so incovenient (sorry if i'm being a wuss).

Now I would love to hear feedback from experienced users how on earth can I find a subsitute graphics driver to fix this frequent freezing + a way to start the fans.

My config: 2.66Ghz 4GB DDR3 RAM + 320M GF
Windows HP 64 bit Boot Camp 3.1
