    MP All Models Trashcan and Cube friendship

    My top two favourite Mac designs have to be the Power Mac G4 Cube and the late 2013 Mac Pro (6,1). I’m so happy and grateful to have been able to get my hands on both, each for a really good price and in great condition. Figured they look really nice side by side exposing their internals and...

    MP 6,1 Trashcan was the perfect Mac

    I've been an Apple user for over 30 years and have owned many different Macs during that time. For me, the 2013 Mac Pro was the perfect desktop. It was my primary music production computer in my studio. It sat on my desk looking stunning right next to my monitor, it was almost completely...

    MP 6,1 Mac Pro 6,1 - A required firmware update could not be installed. Compatible internal storage is required in order to update

    I have just purchased a trashcan Mac Pro 6,1 (12 core, D700), this already had Monterey 12.0 installed on the default Apple 256gb SSD. As this was already at Monterey, I assumed that the required firmware was OK so installed the OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD and attempted a clean install. Got the "A...

    MP 6,1 Mac Pro 6,1 - 12core /D700 flicker issue

    So I’ve posted about this before but I’m running out of patience. I’ve had my Mac Pro 6,1 trash can since release. Ironically in the first few weeks of owning it I had a fault., naturally 7£k is a big chunk of money, so with it being so new it was replaced outright by Apple. This in recent...

    MP 6,1 2013 Mac Pro not going to Sleep

    Walked into my office this morning to the sounds of a gentle fan. Felt the trashcan, very warm. What is going on? I'm on the latest version of Mojave. It's weird because when I am in windows 10 via bootcamp, it actually goes to "cold" sleep no probs. Anyone have similar problem? Thanks!
