Mac Pro I bought a 2009 4.1 and am running High Sierra The Mac Pro is a series of workstation and server computers designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Inc. The Mac Pro, in most configurations and in terms of speed and performance, is the most powerful computer that Apple offers. I have been running High Sierra on my 3,1 2008 8-core Mac Pro since September 2018, using DosDude1's installation. Has been relatively problem-free, though sometimes feels slower than El Capitan. One fault that took me a while to fix was random logouts for no apparent reason, but I pinned it down to a conflict between my GPU's. If you have a Mac Pro 5,1, you don't have to install a firmware update to be able to install High Sierra. To update a Mac 4,1 to High Sierra, you must upgrade its firmware to 5,1 to be able to install High Sierra. Happily, you are halfway to the firmware upgrade though having already disabled SIP. Mac Pro 4.1 (flashed) High Sierra Firmware Update. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 1 month ago. Active 3 months ago. Viewed 14k times 5. I just created a USB Installer for High Sierra and tried to install my Mac Pro 4.1 (flashed to 5.1). But the installer wants to do a Firmware Update too and says I have to shutdown and press the power button.

Control Center for Mac

Instantly access the controls you use most — like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — and new controls to play music and enable Dark Mode for your display. Designed just for Mac, the new Control Center lets you add controls and drag favorites to the menu bar to customize it just for you.

Notification Center

A new design combines notifications and widgets in a single view for more information at a glance. Notifications are now grouped by app, and many are interactive — letting you do things like play new podcast episodes or learn more about Calendar invitations. And redesigned widgets come in three different sizes, so you can create the best view for you.

It’s that time again! A new version of macOS is here, and we all get to go through the rollercoaster of emotion that it brings. From getting excited about new features and new component support to updating your OS and finding out half the plugins in Premiere Pro no longer work. Anyway. https://acgp.over-blog.com/2021/01/macjournal-6-0-create-personal-logs-and-diary-entries.html. Here it is, announced at WWDC is the next iteration of Apple’s OS and what’s interesting this time is its focus on more how it functions rather than how well Siri can tell us the average height of a Giraffe. In the wake of the iMac Pro announcement, Apple made a point of highlighting the key features they have implemented to improve performance. What is a ‘Pro’ system without a ‘Pro’ OS? Finale worksheets answers. I’m going to skip over the boring bits and take a look at the key features and what they mean.

Apple Mac Pro 5,1 Support

High

I’m going to start off by saying yes. If you are running a Mac Pro 5,1 2010/2012 system, then your machine will run macOS High Sierra, and more excitingly it adds support for some new components.
If you’re running a Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 (2009), this is everything you need to know. Your 4,1 system will run MacOS High Sierra.

When running the machine as it came from the manufacturer (without a firmware update), you will not be able to install MacOS High Sierra directly onto the system. However, if you install the macOS onto a drive and insert it into one of the bays or the PCIe slots, it will work with no hassle. Alternatively, you can update your firmware then update via the App Store.
Thanks to the update we now also have drivers for a new range of AMD GPUs and most likely more when the desktop versions of Vega are released. So far here is our list of now supported cards in macOS High Sierra.
AMD Radeon 390X
AMD Radeon RX 460
AMD Radeon RX 470
AMD Radeon RX 480
AMD Radeon RX 580
However it doesn’t stop there for the Mac Pro. Part screenshot windows.

Apple File System

Now on the surface, you may think this isn’t going to change much, but you’d be wrong. There hasn’t been an update in the way a Mac handles data since the release of HFS+ in 1998. We are using almost 20-year-old systems to handle what is one of the most important parts of the system. Apple is telling us that they are using a ‘new 64-bit architecture’, that they have sped up response time and increased the security of encryption. That’s all just a bunch of words until you put it to the test. Moving to the real world; here is the most important thing about this update.

NVMe M.2 SSDs now work in macOS High Sierra without additional third-party drivers.


Yes, you read that right! When looking at the details for the new OS Apple state that they designed the new system for ‘today’s flash technology’. Naturally, we thought, let’s stick an SM961 in a Mac Pro. Low and behold there she is. Now, unfortunately, it’s not all good news you still can’t use them to boot due to the chipset not supporting booting of NVMe SSDs but despite this, if you are looking for a high-speed scratch disk looks like you’re in luck! Also as a little-added extra they also have Native TRIM support.
Here are a few speed tests we performed using the SM961s on the Mac Pro 5,1.

Here are two SM961 in RAID 0 on a single PCI-e card.


Overall this is a step in the right direction for macOS. Adding additional support for a whole host of items including graphics cards, storage drives and even VR headsets. A few updates have been done to Metal. However, it is still in its infancy, so any major adoption by workstation users is unlikely as of yet.

Once macOS High Sierra is released, NVMe flash SSDs and AMD Radeon cards will be available to purchase from us. If you have any further questions, please do feel free to get in touch with our team.
