So, I might still be stuck where I am, but I can at least start doing what I can on the old 3,1. The "Video" drive on my MP 4,1 could easily be moved to the 3,1, since that computer would be the only place I'd edit video (if that ever happens again).ĭoing a little research after I posted this question, I realized what killed this project earlier was discovering, after I'd bought my 5,1 video upgrade card Apple blasted support for NVidea graphics cards. If I could get Pro Tools 11 working on the same computer that also runs Logic 9 (and accessories) and Final Cut Pro 5.1 I wouldn't have to do anything tricky with the computer than would be running Mojave. I hadn't even thought about doing the multiple OS split on the backup "history machine." Mine is a 3,1, but it looks like you've managed to convince the operating systems it is something other than a 1,1. Your approach on that older machine makes a lot of sense. I have all 4 bays filled with drives, an SSD for the OS and programs, an audio projects 1T drive, a video projects 1TB drive, and a 2TB Time Machine drive. Thanks for your reply and questions, Cseye, Projects could be stored in storage space on other drives or even on external drives. A simple approach would be to add a new drive or erase an existing drive to install Mojave and a new version of Logics. Knowing more about your setup will point to potential solutions. The other two drives are not partitioned. Two drives have two partitions: one partition is for the OS and misc documents the second partition is a large storage area. No new projects are completed on this computer. I only use this setup to access older versions of applications and projects. In my case I have a MP 1,1 with four hard drives installed running four different versions of Mac OSX - one per hard drive: 10.4.11, 10.5, 10.6.8, and 10.9. One for Mac OSX? Another for project storage? Yet another for sample libraries? Etc.? Are the drives partitioned?ĭo you have all of the original installation discs and authorization codes? Do you have Carbon Copy Cloner or similar that you could clone a drive to another location? I'm not prying but it would helpful to know how you are using those drives. How many hard drives are installed in your MP 4,1? It's always a risk to suggest changes to another person's computer setup. Any advice you can offer I'll greatly appreciate. I added an Nvidia GeForce GT 640 2048MB video card, which I believe is Metal compatible. Due to a variety of reasons, I'm likely on my last computers of any sort. I only use my Mac Pro for music production as a hobbyist and have no plans to upgrade again in this lifetime. I'm 75 and for most of my career I worked on MS and Windows machines, only learning to deal with Apple computers in the last 15 years working as a mobile television truck tech (Final Cut Pro) and teaching technology classes at a music school which is where I became exposed to Logic (v7, initially). I think that probably means that I'd need to run multiple OS versions on this machine: Mojave and High Sierra.Īt this point I have a sad confession to make: I'm not really much of an Apple-guy. I would like to upgrade the Mac Pro to where I can run Mojave and upgrade Logic to the current version. I have a lot of archived Pro Tools material that I'd like to be able to access, but not enough to upgrade from PT11 to anything newer. Currently, the machine is running High Sierra and Logic X 10.4.8. Click the 'Done' button.I have a Mac Pro 4,1 that I have flashed to a 5,1 some time ago. Click the 'Restore from' drop down menu, then choose the volume you want to clone the data from. This is the volume that is erased and becomes the exact copy. Once the data has been cloned, Disk Utility indicators will show the status as being 'complete'. Carbon Copy Cloner For Mac Os 10.6.8 Select the new drive volume in the sidebar then click the Restore button or choose Edit > Restore. Click the 'Restore from' drop down menu, then choose the volume you want to clone the data from.Select the new drive volume in the sidebar then click the Restore button or choose Edit > Restore.For example, you can restore from your startup volume to an external volume to use as a backup. When you restore from one volume to another volume, it makes an exact copy of the original. You can also restore one volume from another volume. Click 'Restore' at the bottom to begin the process of copying your data to the destination.Click the check box for 'Erasing destination.'.Drag the new hard drive to the 'Destination' field.Drag the old volume to the Source field.
