Seasons (2010) Mac OS

Seasons (2010) mac os download

It’s been over 15 months since Apple rolled out the 2009 Mac Pro, and the 2010 Mac Pro is yet another big step forward: every configuration uses quad-core Intel Xeon Nehalem or quad-core and even hex-core Westmere CPUs for even more power. Each core has its own 256 KB Level 2 (L2) cache, each quad-core CPU has an 8 GB L3 cache, and the 6-core CPUs have 12 MB L3 caches.

The Mid 2012 Mac Pro is the same basic hardware but built around newer CPUs, including Bloomfield.

These CPUs support HyperThreading, which means a quad-core CPU can work like an 8-core CPU, and Turbo Boost technology allows CPUs to dynamically overclock themselves when called on – so long as they don’t overheat.

Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid-2010 and mid-2012 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU) High Sierra compatibility High Sierra arrived in September 2017 and can run on the following Macs.

Jul 27, 2010 The Mac OS X 10.6.4 Update is recommended for all users of iMac (Mid 2010). This update contains all the applicable fixes from the Mac OS X 10.6.4 Update, plus the following specific fixes for iMac (Mid 2010): Resolves compatibility and performance-related graphics issues. Improves compatibility with large-format SDXC memory cards. The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system originally named Mac OS X until 2012 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its 'classic' Mac OS.That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Macintosh computers since their introduction in 1984.

All that power doesn’t come cheap, and the least expensive Mac Pro configuration sells for $2,499.

There are two base 2010 models, a single-CPU Mac Pro that ships with 3 GB of RAM and supports up to 48 GB, and a dual-CPU Mac Pro that ships with 6 GB of RAM and supports up to 128 GB. For best performance, you should install memory in sets of three matching modules, as the CPU can access up to 3 channels of memory at once. With two or four modules installed, it falls back to 2 channel mode, which is less efficient. The single-CPU model is available at 2.8, 3.2, and 3.33 GHz, while the dual-CPU can be obtained at 2.4, 2.66, and 2.93 GHz.

ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of video memory is the standard graphics card, and you can add up to three more video cards. ATI Radeon HD 5870 is available as a build-to-order option.

Oddly, no “cheese grater” Mac Pro used anything faster than 3.0 Gbps SATA Rev. 2, even though the Early 2011 MacBook Pro models and the Mid 2011 iMac and Mac mini all supported 6.0 Gbps SATA Rev. 3 – and the SATA Rev. 3.0 specification had been finalized in May 2009!

If one 18x SuperDrive (the fastest yet in a Mac) isn’t enough, put in a second one for US$100 more. And you can upgrade from Apple’s regular wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse to the wireless (Bluetooth) version.

Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is standard, but 802.11n AirPort Extreme remains optional.

A headphone jack, two USB 2.0 ports, and two FireWire 800 ports are located on the front of the Mac Pro for easy access, and there are more ports on the back. There are no FireWire 400 ports; FireWire 400 devices are supported using a FireWire 800-to-400 cable or adapter.

This is the first Mac Pro model to require Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

This is the oldest Mac Pro to officially support macOS Sierra.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

Seasons (2010) Mac OS

The AC power coming into your home or office is a sine wave, but some UPSes generate a square wave when you are operating from battery power. This is not good for the Mac Pro. Be sure you only use a UPS with sine wave output to avoid reducing the life of your Mac Pro.

GPT Partitioning

Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Power PC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes. PowerPC Macs won’t let you install OS X to a USB drive or choose it as your startup volume, although there is a work around for that.
