#Apple mac pro a1186 specs install
If you want to do any OS install's on this computer.you need to search the internet.find the appropriate OS install hack.and then proceed with the install.
Each OS version has it's own "hack procedure". I think that it's possible to run El Capitan (OS 10.11).again via a hack. Sounds like this computer is currently running Yosmite (OS 10.10). Since this computer is in "unofficial territory".it's really up to the user to address issues on their own.because it's possible to turn the computer into a "brick" if these hack's are applied incorrectly.or if info mentioned here is incorrect, misunderstood, or applied incorrectly. It is possible via "hacks" to run newer OS versions on this model Mac Pro (which is why the boot screen issue that started the thread is not seen). "Apple Official" newest OS for this computer ("latest compatible version") is OS 10.7.5 (first released July, 2011). I'm using a vga connection to an old monitor, would this be a problem at all?Īny suggestions as where to go from here would be appreciated!Īs I mentioned above (and was verified with the exact model info).this is a 2006 1st generation Mac Pro. I did see suggestions on the internet that if the graphics card has been changed this might be why the boot screen would not appear? The mac seems to have 2 500gb disks but when I looked in system info on the previous boots it appeared as 1gb drive. I do hear the boot chime again when I do this which is encouraging. Turning all the power off and leaving for 5 minutesĭoing a NVRAM reset using win key+alt+p+r.
#Apple mac pro a1186 specs update
I think that this was a patch to Yosemite, not an update to El Capitan (?) 20 minutes later it rebooted and I heard the startup chime but no boot display at all. The problems started when I did a check for updates (Yosemite) and it installed an update. Given that I never turned on a mac before I didn't know what to expect so just logged in using the administrator account and had a bit of a play. On getting it home I got it to boot a couple of times, *but* I don't ever recall seeing a boot screen or "apple logo" for any kind - it went straight to the login screen.
I've just bought a second hand mac pro in order to compile ios apps.
