2006

I have converted a g5 case to atx and I thought that an original apple monitor like the cinema display (2006) would compliment the look of the g5 case - so I bought one. Now I experience weird behaviour from the monitor. After I shut down my windows machine completely (PSU off) and go to work...

I recently came across my old A1211 MacBook Pro and brought it back to life with a SSD I had lying around. This one has the glossy screen option but it appears as though the glossy layer has started to separate from the screen itself or something like that. There appears to be a large amount of...

Hi Guys. I tried to use a flashed Radeon 7950 (model in subject) on my MacPro 1,1 (2006) flashed to 2,1 and running El Capitan (OSX 10.11.6). With the 7950, the system gives the boot screen and reaches the login screen without any problems. This, however, is where the issues start. As soon...

Hello, This is my first time posting in the MacRumors forums, but I have enjoyed reading especially the Early Intel threads! I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro that I got used. There appeared to be display issues, and when I plugged it into a monitor, there was no issue, so I replaced the display...

Hi all, this is quite a silly question but to improve the thread I am including some pictures of what one would say it's a brand new 2006 Mac Mini which is really the interesting part of this post. Mac Mini 2006 was my first Mac ever, unfortunately my old Mini died some years ago. This year I...

Hello! So, I have a problem. My brother I live with just got a new mac pro, and i got his old 2006 mac he's been using for the last 14 years. He's stopped using it for a while and when I tried to turn it on, the power indicator lit up, but the screen did not turn on at ALL. If you have any idea...

I thought I would break out my 2006 15" MBP and compare it to my latest 16" MBP and see how far the Machine has come in terms of design in the past fourteen years.

HELP-I tried all the solutions I could find online, and it has a battery, I replaced it with an apple one. Been trying for a few hours to get it running-MagSafe comes up as orange. It’s the first MacBook Pro. Images below!

Hello all, I've been using my 1,1 Mac Pro running an EFI modified El Capitan as my main media server/HTPC for about four years now and its been great. HD5870, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 4x2TB RAID-0 drives, etc. Well, I just bought a house and my 42" 1080p TV just wasn't cutting it anymore so I...

I'm at a total loss here. Got this black MacBook on eBay, and I can't get it to do anything. No blinking light/chime/fans nothing. RAM is seated properly, and when the MagSafe is plugged in, it stays green. I don't have a battery, could that be it? I have several 2006-08 MacBook Pros and they...

Hey Folks— I have some 2006 Mac Pro servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 that have done a fantastic job over the years. However, I'm considering upgrading to 10.11 El Capitan (via Pikify app hack) for some improvements in the file sharing service, among other things. We all know this about...

Hi. I was recently given a 20" 2.16GHz Apple iMac A1207 (Late 2006) computer. Everything intact, except for the LCD screen. The fans kick into gear and the chime plays from the speakers when it is powered on, so based on this I assume it is fully functioning. Just missing the screen. I do not...

My macbook pro 15 video card is died so, i would like to use the ssd (el capitan) into my mac pro 1.1 (2006). What do i do? the idea is to boot on it and to start working. Do you think it's possible?

I'm trying to remove the front fans in a mac pro, and the top part slides out easily, but the bottom part seems like it's stuck on something. None of the guides I've found have worked. Is there something I'm missing?

So, I recently got a 2006 MacBook, and for a while, it worked fine. Then, the backlight only worked occasionally, and since this morning, it no longer takes a charge and won't turn on. The little light on the MagSafe connector doesn't light up, and I know the charger works as I have used it on...

Hi Guys, I hope this is the right place to post, first time here. I have an ancient Macbook from 2006 (I looked up the serial, I had no idea it was quite that old!) It has the intel core duo processor but is in reasonable health and I installed plenty of RAM a few years back. Its obviously not...

Please Help. I got a mac mini 2006 1.66 Ghz core duo with 2 GB of ram for 50 dollars. So I did a clean installation of snow leopard and upgraded it to 10.6.8. Then I tried to use boot camp 3.0.4 to install windows 7 32 bit in another partition. Boot camp could divide the hard disk smoothly...

hello, i have macpro 2.1 with 8gb ram, osx lion and standard speaker on mac for volume output. I have a white keyboard (2005-2006 model) with volume controls top right and was working... I recently tried to remove soundfower from my hdd and definitely i messsed with some files. After restart...

Hi everyone, I have a problem installing Win7 on late 2006 iMac 20''. After BootCamp have splitted a disc onto two partitions, and system displayed information, that it started installation from the DVD, the whole process crashes. The screen becomes suddenly black, then white, and I lose...
