    USB 3.0 Mountain Lion Issues

    I'm stuck at Mountain Lion 10.8.5 because I'm a Pro Tools TDM user and 10.3.10 is not supported in Mavericks or Yosemite. It's been pretty much rock solid, but I'm having trouble with a Seagate 4TB USB 3.0 drive (1JFAP1-500 4TB). The drive mounts, and reads ok, but writes to the drive either...

    Chimera text-spinner suddenly hangs (at about '|' or '/') with presence of internal time machine dri

    Is it possible to overwrite Chimera with Clover? I'm stuck at Mountain Lion for compatibility with Pro Tools 10. I have a pretty old motherboard, with a DSDT file, if that helps.

    Chimera text-spinner suddenly hangs (at about '|' or '/') with presence of internal time machine dri

    I've been having this problem on and off for a few years. Something goes wrong with my Time Machine internal drive. Last few times, I reformatted that drive, but the Single Scan Drive solution is working for me and much better than reformatting and copying 2 TB of data for no good reason...

    Pro Tools HD3 PCI-X

    obsolete |ˌäbsəˈlēt| adjective 1 no longer produced or used; out of date: Ok, so maybe its still used by a few folks (like me!) who drive 16 year old clunkers. But... The board is 4 years old and discontinued, LGA 1156 processors have been discontinued for over a year. There are three...

    OS X 10.8.5 Update

    Article: OS X 10.8.5 Update Pretty much went exactly as above, from a working 10.8.4 system, except: 4. didn't do this, just left it in there and re-installed with MultiBeast 5.5.2 before Restart 5. didn't do this either, no problems that I know of 7. Realtek ALC889 with DSDT, Trim Enabler...

    Pro Tools HD3 PCI-X

    Pro Tools conventional PCI cards are full-length 32-bit, 33 MHz cards. They're not really PCI-X (64-bit, 66 MHz) other than size. They have a section of the edge connector that sits outside a conventional PCI slot, but its not used and doesn't affect anything. Some folks used to cut it off...

    No ML 10.8 support for GA-H55 USB3

    Sorry to hear that. I had problems with audio at first, but with 10.8.2, I used MultiBeast with DSDT (before Restart after first install) and that failed. But MultiBeast without DSDT did the trick. When I updated from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4, I used the Combo updater, and ran MultiBeast *after*...

    Pro Tools HD3 PCI-X

    Thanks! I don't see a DSDT for that mobo, would that be a problem? I see some other threads with folks building HD systems with it. I'll try to read up on it.

    Pro Tools HD3 PCI-X

    I have a working CustoMac running a Pro Tools HD3 Accel PCI-X system with OSX 10.8.4 and Pro Tools 10 HD version 10.3.6. Everything works, but the GA-H55-USB3 is obsolete. I'm considering upgrading to an Ivy Bridge system. Problem is, its very time-consuming looking for a modern mobo with...

    No ML 10.8 support for GA-H55 USB3

    Unfortunately, I don't know the exact version of UniBeast I used. It was back in February 2013 and I installed OSX 10.8.2 using the exact method described here on TonyMac with DSDT. I had a working Snow Leopard system drive 10.6.8. I tried using Migration Assistant (or whatever they call it...

    No ML 10.8 support for GA-H55 USB3

    I think that's the only thing we're doing differently. My mobo revision is 2.0, and my firmware is F7 (which I updated from F6). Try using the DSDT for your firmware: http://www.tonymacx86.com/11-dsdt-database.html I had all kinds of problems back in the Snow Leopard days with USB...

    No ML 10.8 support for GA-H55 USB3

    I have OSX 10.8.4 installed on a GA-H55-USB3 with *everything* working. In fact, I updated from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4 with the combo updater. After that I used MultiBeast 5.4.2 to install the ALC889 with DSDT, and re-enable TRIM with the 10.8.3+ TRIM patch. USB 3.0 still worked from an earlier...

    Pro Tools HD2 PCI compatibility

    As it turns out, the Intel DH77KC and the Foxconn Z68A-S both have a PCIe-PCI bridge, no good for Pro Tools. :thumbdown: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/20952/eng/dh77kc_TechProdSpec02.pdf However, in another thread, DBP mentions a Gigabyte GA-P75-D3P which has native PCI support, four...

    Need PCI slots instead of PCI-E - plz recommend me a mobo

    PMFJI 2 months later, but the Avid trade-in program was a complete rip-off. $1500 per card to convert from PCI to PCIe, with virtually identical DSP power. The situation is a lot different now, with Pro Tools HDX, but if you have a so-called "legacy" PCI system, $2k will get you a smokin'...
