Re: HD Native cant Update Firmware after installing PT9.0.5 Update

If so, then DON'T! hehe, the whole idea is that you can't Downgrade your MacPro's OS. but you CAN start up your MacPro using a DIFFERENT OS (SL 10.6.7 or lower) than then one that is installed. This can be achieved with an external drive (be it your laptop or external HDD) which is what the fix involves. If you successfully installed SL OS onto your laptop and external HDD, then you don't need your SL installer anymore, just Plug in your Laptop or HDD to your MacPro. Turn your MacPro on and as soon as the "Bwang" (or whatever you want to call it) sound goes off, hit the "Alt / Option" Key until you get the Bootable devices. Sometimes it takes a while to recognize em. and choose the OS that corresponds to your Laptop or HDD. again ... booting up takes a while since USB and Firewire are slow ports for this kind of operations. Again i'll be around if you ned any more help. Cheers! |

When I said "The problem is when I try to do the same with the tower." I was trying to startup the Mac Pro from my external HD with 10.6.3 in order...was impossible. Apparently, since mine came with Lion, won't start up on anything else. Talking with the Avid tech, we came to the conclusion that installing the SL OS in the laptop, won't make much of a difference. The only solution is to take my card to another computer and do the upgrade there...I try locally to do it with no luck. I'm sending my native card back to Avid to get the upgrade...men...this has been a loooong wait! Hopefully I'll get my system up and running by next week. Thank you again for all the help! Rock On!! |

Re: HD Native cant Update Firmware after installing PT9.0.5 Update
But did you even try putting SL on the laptop and trying target mode? Wouldn't hurt to give it a go. Other people have been able to do target mode on the new Lion OSX machines.

Re: HD Native cant Update Firmware after installing PT9.0.5 Update
I asked this to techsupport when I called them. They said I can send them the unit and they will update the firmware. Of course, they won't pay the shipping costs, and it will take at least 2 weeks depending on your location (I am in Connecticut).

Re: HD Native cant Update Firmware after installing PT9.0.5 Update
Seems like an excellent tutorial; thank you very much. I'm in the same position and believe I understand the proc you outline re: booting from Laptop. My problem is this: My Macbook Pro is on 10.4.
I'd be glad to update to SL, but how do I do so without updating the current version of SL so that I can update the firmware? Thanks for you time, Mike Quote:
