I'm currently running a late 2013 Mac Pro that I've been holding back on upgrading. My 1TB Apple SSD is split into two HFS+ partitions, one Yosemite and one High Sierra.

Hi all, I am doing tests with my new video card. I created a new drive for all this to keep me original drive intact. It requires that I move to high sierra. I am presently at El Capitan. It also requires that I do firmware updates, both for High Sierra as well as Mojave. If I do these firmware...

So I bought a Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15" dual graphics a few years back with no SSD. I think got an adapter and used my own NVME SSD. Since I updated to Big Sur, the firmware had not been updated. Still have the old bong and the old-style boot menu. System report says "System Firmware Version...

I’ve successfully upgraded the firmware on my 4,1 Mac Pro to a 5,1 (now officially running High Sierra). Everything worked perfectly fine until I enabled SIP again. Now everything runs painfully slow, just opening Launchpad for example takes what feels like ages. Also, if I want to open apps...

Does anyone have any experience with the firmware update that the High Sierra GM requires for cMPs? Anyone had anything go wrong? Problems with 4,1 -->5,1 bootrom after the firmware update?

As a matter of accident I saw the light on my AirportExpress blinking orange, the network is working fine, opened Airport Utility and found out there is a firmware update available but when I click on it nothing happens, it doesn't allow me to update it, how can I work around it? I don't mind...

I've got a Mac Pro 2009/4,1 that I'm building up that won't successfully come out of sleep mode. It goes to sleep fine and the light pulses; when you try any method to wake it, everything clicks back on, fans spin up, but no video displays, and it no longer is reachable on the network by ping or...
