I'm having the same issue Lee, with my usb webcam.. I think will will have a fix soon...
Yes, I had also seen post on Reddit referring to the same issue. I hope we do get a fix soon, I'd really rather not have to fuss with downgrading that computer to Sonoma, just to get the camera working, I do need that camera though. Thank you for the confirmation,
where did you get the adapter?
It;s the same adapter used for the 2014-2915 MacBook Pros. They are freely available on Amazon or eBay. Here is one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FYY3H5F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Nice job Lee!
FANTASTIC! Thank you!
Still waiting for you to complete the iPad video... pencil/use video.
I use the M4 iPad everyday. I got it to replace paper copies of sheet music, and it has been a brilliant alternative. I'm not sure when I might get to a video update on it.
Welcome back! Yeah, these old cameras are pretty bad... might want to switch to ALL iPhone video/audio recording ;) Great video, per usual!
Awesome, congratulations on the new Mini! It’s a cool redesign and should work well. I’ve got a space gray Trackpad and it’s been fantastic to use! It works really well for video editing and other applications and even just as a standard pointing device. The Magic Mouse is also a good one to use just like the Trackpad. The classic Mac Pros are always going to be excellent machines, but it’s also great to have another Mac Mini!
I like the trackpad, it works really well. I go back and forth between it and the Apple Mouse, dep[ending on what I'm doing. Unfortunately, the desk setup I'm on doesn't really have room for both. My setup is kind of weird right now, I'm waiting on some longer Thunderbolt cables, so I can get a more convenient setup for the dock and the hub. I'll get a video out about it in a week or sp
Cool, both are useful but yeah it would be nice to have space for everything. Nice, that should make it better to use overall!
Thanks for the Mini review: useful to me!
I'm glad it was of help. I have a more in depth video on the Mac mini history, I can't put my finger on the link right now, but it is in the Mac mini playlist.
Greetings from Germany... I like the normality of your videos, carry on ;-) I am curious if there will be a hub for the M4 Mac Mini with sd-slot, USB-A etc. and with the possibility for install external storage (like I have here for my M1 Mac Mini)
"Normality of your videos....." I like that, it sums up what I'm trying to do. None of it is scripted, it's just me talking to my friends about my love of these devices and their history. Any of the currently available Thunderbolt hubs and docks will work fine with M4 mini. I'm on the machine now, using the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, with 14 additional ports, including 5 USB A ports, making up for the lack of them on the mini. It has both SD and Micro SD slots on the front, and a mini Displayport port on the back. I have my 2008 Apple Cinema display connected via that, just plugged it in and it works fine. My 2010 Apple Thunderbolt display plugs into the Thunderbolt display port on the back of the dock as well, with the use of Apple's TB adapter, and it works fine as well. There is also the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Hub, which adds three additional TB ports, and works really well. When I get the setup working, I'll have the dock plugged into one of the TB ports, and the hub into another, with the third reserved for a Thunderbolt 4 external 4 TB drive. I have the M4 Pro, so I will eventually get a TB 5 hub. I already have a TB 5 enclosure on order. I'll have a video on the setup dso far out in a week or so.
Amazing video, congratulations on your collection
Thank you, it keeps growing. ;-)
I'm running a hacked Mac Pro 5,1 mid 2010 which I upgraded to OS Sonoma. It ran fine until the last update, then it lost my wireless mouse and keyboard. I tried re-booting with a wired mouse and keyboard, but it didn't recognise. I am currently in the process of re-installing Ventura, as it was working fine with that. Once the M4 Mac Studio becomes available, my Mac Pro will be utilised as a local network file server.
I see. I suspect that the problem is the lack of root patching. You will find that bluetooth peripherals will stop working. Many USB keyboards and mice need USB 1.1 support, which no longer works in Sonoma. It's never been a problem for me, since I keep an Apple aluminum wired keyboard handy, which is a USB two hub. Plug that in, and plug the mouse into that, and it should work fine. The other option is to use a USB 2 hub, and plug your keyboard and mouse into that. Once you get the install finished and your root patches installed, you should be able to repair your bluetooth devices.
@@brokenelectronics3665 Thankyou for your help.
I think as they are they are weak. But max out the ram, put a cheap SSD in, replace the WIFI card with a Broadcom crystal HD decoder card, a modern WIFI USB adapter. And a copy of Windows 7. It would be a decent media player.
I suppose you're right. Remember though, for me, this is just a part of my collection, I have no reall need to use it for anything other than it's historic value.
He’s baaaack! 🎉
I never went anywhere. My posting is going to continue to be erratic, though I'm on a bit of a roll right now.
I wasn’t expecting it to be that big of a difference, the ability to upgrade everything in the 5,1 really helps out. The 2013 is a cool model, but the design is perfect for something like the M series of chips while the classic Mac Pro case is way better for upgrading.
You sum it up quite well.
New Apple Silicon CPU´s are makig this macs really old machines......
The 6,1s are really showing their age. If I wanted to go to the expense and hassle of using an external GPU, that might well make a difference. But with the 5,1, I just put a better GPU into the slot, and off we go. Thus far, I can do just about everything with an upgraded 5,1 that I have done with the M4 Pro. In fairness, I just hooked up the M4 Pro Mac mini yesterday, and I have not really tried to push it yet, but the old cheesegrater is not quite done just yet.
The Mac Pro 2013 was affected by graphics chip failures. When I worked for Apple, we actually had a repair program for it because the issue impacted a lot of people. Over time, the Mac Pro tends to overheat since it gets quite toasty under a full load. However, I can tell you that I’m currently running macOS Sequoia and usually have 5-10 apps open, including video editing and heavy Photoshop work, and it performs exceptionally well. I would recommend downloading the Apple Service Diagnostic bootable utility. If it’s freezing the way you describe, that’s somewhat normal-even with OpenCore installed. In fact, one of the machines used to develop OpenCore is a Mac Pro 6,1, and that developer has no issues at all. It’s a pretty powerful machine and, at least for me, it runs without any fuss. For more information on the repair program and that Apple launched search google “ Apple Launches Repair Program for Late 2013 Mac Pro Video Issues” and it’s the second link
*not normal
I've been running Sonoma on my mid 2010 Mac Pro successfully until I upgraded to version 14.7. At that point, my computer failed to recognise my wireless keyboard. I switched this out for a usb keyboard and re-booted. It still did not see a keyboard. Any ideas? Should I reinstall OS Ventura or Monterey, which both worked fine without any issues. In the interim I am using my Mac mini M1, which is struggling a bit with the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom.
I'm sorry I missed this, see my reply to your more recent comment, where I try to give you an answer.
Great video! From my understanding of Quadro cards, they typically feature more VRAM at the expense of lower clock speed/drivers that aren't quite optimized for tasks like gaming. Besides the aesthetic/collector's appeal, and the use case for professional design software (CAD tools, video editing etc), are there noticeable drawbacks in other areas, like 3D gaming performance? Would a PowerMac G5 owner in 2024 really be missing out if they had something like a 7800 GT compared to this Quadro card? Keep it up man great work
I've been trying to get OS X installed on a PDQ over the last week dealing with these exact issues throughout, and this is one of very few search results documenting the issues. Sadly I'm three years late to help the video producer lol, but for anyone else stumbling in here: the mSATA SSD was to blame. My solution was to revert to the original 4 GB hard drive*, and OS 10.0 in my case finally installed. I then removed the drive, and hooked it and the mSATA SSD up to a MacBook Pro** running 10.5 with two IDE to USB readers. I used Disk Utility to restore the 10.0 install from the hard drive to a 7.9 GB partition at the start of the SSD, formatted as Mac OS Extended. Then I put the SSD back in the PDQ. If you get a question mark folder, don't panic yet, you need to select it as the startup disk. I booted an OS 9.2 live CD to borrow its Startup Disk control panel to select the OS 10.0 partition, and there it was. The first boot was quite slow but it works perfectly now. Hopefully this is helpful to someone, and to the video producer, at least the mystery is solved now! *If you don't have it, I imagine any hard drive 8 GB or less would work. Or possibly any hard drive would, so long as you make a 7.9 GB or less partition at the beginning and use that. **It has to be a MacBook Pro or a powered USB hub. I've found that PowerBooks don't output enough power over USB to spin up a hard drive.
I'm glad you're doing "well!" I just found your videos! I found a 2008 MacBook 5,1 in the ewaste bin... powered it up and now I've got two PowerBook G4 15"s.. (1.33ghz and 1.67ghz respectively) Thank you for the videos you've got up so far!
Did we lose you again?
Were you able to get the wifi working?
Actually, the built in wifi is so slow, I use it hard wired.
@@brokenelectronics3665 Thanks for your quick reply. I would be installing it on a G4 iBook and would need the wifi. Do you think it would be better for me to install Sorbet Leopard?
@@ethanconnor-hodges It depends on what you want. Honestly, the Snow Leopard Alpha is more of a curiosity, though a cool one. If you are looking for an OS that you can really use, Sorbet would be a better option.
I have watched many of your videos and want to thank you for all the time you put in trying to help others. I do have a question.. I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro and want to upgrade the OS. Is there any way I could talk with you before I try to do so, maybe through discord or something like that? It wold be my 1st time and I really don't want to mess my computer up
Don't comment often, but had to let you know that seeing your upload made my day! Great to hear from you and that you've been taking care of yourself. Smooth install, and shout outs to Thunderbird. :)
Thank you so much, you just made my day!
Heeeeee’s baaaaaack! Missed you!
I never really went anywhere. It may take some time, but I'll get back into it.
@@brokenelectronics3665 🥰
@@brokenelectronics3665 buddy, did you fall down? We need some more Mac history!
Welcome back! And please take care of yourself first since that's more important than making videos. On another note... I recently picked up a 6,1 12 core and haven't decided what to do with it yet. Kinda torn between going the OCLP route or installing Slackware Linux (and name it SlackCanPro 6,1). Haven't used my 5,1 in quite some time now. Installed Slackware (named it SlackPro 5,1) on 1 of the HDDs and it actually runs great after the headache of fan control was figured out. Maybe I'll make it a file server or something. All I need now is a 7,1 (when those start coming down in price) to add to the collection. That will probably cost some money to fully max out. Not really interested in Apple Silicon.
Linux is an option, but I'll stick with Mac OS as long as Intel is still supported. We've got three more years of support now. Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot.
Welcome back! Always important to take care of yourself first. That was a fast install, reminds me of how my G5 was able to install Leopard like it’s nothing. Mist looks like a great utility, will definitely have to check that out. Good luck with everything going on, hope it all goes well!
Thank you. It's been a struggle, but I'm hanging in there.
Welcome back!👍👍
Thank you!
Also wish you well with your health
Thank you so much!
Hi the reason migration didn't work is you have to revert root patches so you don't have graphics acceleration then migration works fine after reboot without root patches hope this was helpful
Okay, I can see that. Since I've stayed on Monterey, except for the test machine, I wouldn't have noticed that. We will see what happens , thank you!
I hope you've been doing well, your presence has been missed!
That's very kind of you, thank you so much. I just started working on a video which will, in part, explain what's been going on. If I get it together on time, it should be out this Tuesday morning.
I have Sonoma 14.6 installed on my 2012 Mac 5.1 with RX580 and it appears to work correctly except the wallpaper. Both monitors are black and if I pull up the wallpaper settings it just spins infinitely. Any ideas?
My first thought would be that you need to install the root patches in OCLP. Theoretically, when you start the system in Sonoma, OCLP should pop up with t nag to install the root patches. Sometimes it doesn't though/ Try restarting the system, and open OCLP, then click Post install root patches. Install the patches and restart. Hopefully your wallpaper will show up.
we need blackmagic ssd speed test !!
I been trying to get it done and my Mac Won't do it i do all the steps i Shut it down and see the blinking light here the tone and still goes in to el Capitan
Enjoyed your soliloquy. :)
love my dual 30" Apple Cinema Display setup!
RIP 😢
Enjoyed the look. :) Was always a hater of these things and saw them as a big step down from the previous Mac Pros, but like you said, it really wouldn't have been as bad if they hadn't called it a Mac Pro. They are undeniably cool though, and I actually had no idea they were so cheap now, that's a lot of computer for that money!
Hello :) I've seen your process to upgrade from El Capitan (10.11.6) to Sierra (10.12.6), but that is an upgrade or an update ? IN fact on my Mac Pro Early 2008 (2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 32 Gb RAM 667 Mhz), what I would have is conserving all my fully configuration present on El Capitan and update (not upgrade !) to Sierra !!! Your process with the patcher is also an update to Sierra or not ? That's very important for me ;) What another thing is the compatibility of the graphic card.I know that on Catalina for example, the GPU graphic cards are limited to 800 x 600 pixels, because on Catalina only on.metal graphic cards are supported; is the same on Sierra ??? In fact I've one version on another hard drive of Catalina installed, but from El Capitan, the hard drive where is installed Catalina is invisible and not accessible !!! Perhaps from Catalina I can make the migration of all the fully configuration present on El Capitan with the App "Migration assistant" ??? Thanks really a lot for your next response and your next detailed informs ;) :)
With the release of Sierra, Apple dropped support for the 2008 Mac Pro. That's why we need DosDude's patcher. Using the patcher, you "should" be able to install Sierra over the top of El Cap, thus preserving all of your data. I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of backing up your data before upgrading. If you have a Time Machine backup, or another backup solution, if the install goes wrong, you should be able to do a clean install with the patcher, then use Migration Assistant to transfer your data. Mac OS up to and including High Sierra, do not require metal capable graphics. Mojave and Catalina do, but the DosDude patcher gets you past that. My only experience running Catalina with a non metal GPU was my 2009 iMac. That machine was certainly not limited to 800x600. Anyhow, upgrading the GPU on a 3,1 Mac Pro is not a difficult process. You can get AMD RX580's at really good prices right now. It is not l all surprising that your El Cap install does not see the Catalina drive. Remember that Catalina uses the Apple File System (APFS), while El Cap (and Sierra) use Mac OS Extended Journaled (HFS+). Since APFS had not yet been developed when El Cap was a thing, the OS does not understand it. To share data from Catalina to El Cap, you would need to boot into Catalina, which can see the HSF+ drives. If you decide to go to an RX 580 GPU, note that El Cap does not have drivers for it. El Cap will boot and runs pretty well, though if you use more than one monitor, only the primary will work. Good luck, please let us know how you make out.
Someone has said he passed away….
"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!" That's actually a misquote, Samuel Clemens actually said "The report of my death was an exaggeration." Regardless, I am very much alive, and intend to be so for a long time yet.

Hello Lee, I finally have a working MacBook Pro, but it's an old one, it's a 17 inch 2008 model with a 2.4 GHz., core 2 duo processor, 8 gig of ram., and a 240 gig ssd., and I installed Linux Mint Mate and the laptop is currently working well, the laptop is fairly well designed, however, it only has two USB., ports and they are both on the same side and to apply fresh thermal paste to the processor the entire logic board has to be removed.
Great choice! I got the same one. I upgrade to the largest one every time they come out. Best purchase ever.
Very cool! If it’s anything like the 2018, I’m sure it’ll be great for a long time. It is a bit strange that they decided an iPad to be the thinnest device, and in general go back to making thinner devices. A thin iPod makes sense, but the extra size of the iPad can take advantage of a larger battery. Regardless, hopefully it works well! I’ve been using far older iPads, and they still work well. Even the original iPad is still excellent, I use it alongside some others. Once I get more added into iTunes like movies/tv, I’m sure I’ll use them even more.
