Apple’s latest operation system Mac OSX Mavericks isn’t currently available on the older generation Mac Pro (the 2006/2007 models) while they are highly capable of running the OS. MacRumors forum user Tiamo has released a little guide on how to install Mavericks on the older generation Mac Pro:

1. Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid-2010 and mid-2012 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU). Mavericks arrived in October 2013 and supported the following Macs: iMac (Mid 2007 or newer).
2. In other words, if your Mac shipped with Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard, you can install Mavericks. If your Mac shipped with Leopard or Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), but you later purchased.

1. following those steps to make an install drive (here is a guide on how to do so)
2. replace boot.efi – boot.efi can be found at System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi and usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi (Here is Bootloader for Mac Pro)
3. insert your board-id into OSInstall.mpkg (here is how to)
4. insert your board-id into InstallableMachine.plist
5. reboot from the usb drive and run the installation

Older Mac Pro’s are stuck on older version of Mac OSX because they use have 32bit EFI something that newer version like Mavericks doesn’t support making the new OS incompatible with the Mac Pro. As of now the compatibility with updates is unknown, we suggest you turn off the automatic update feature in Mavericks in order to prevent any future issues.

Note: This post is part of the the series: Reformat Macbook Pro to make brand new. You can always refer back to the table of contents to follow the entire process.

We’ve arrived at our final destination. If you’ve stuck with me, you’re on your way to a faster, and cleaner Macbook Pro. And let me tell you, it’s worth it! Faster start up and shut down, faster processing and just knowing the hard drive is free of clutter and much better organized will put a smile on your face. In the last chapter you wiped your data clean from the laptop. Now it’s time to breathe life back into the Macbook Pro by using your boot drive you created in the earlier steps.

Here we go!

Reinstall Mavericks on Macbook Pro

Now is the time to install the operating system so your dead computer can come back to life. This is the fun part. You will now use the boot drive you made to install Mavericks onto your brand new Mac!

1. You’ll want to insert the thumb drive into your now ‘dead’ mac.
2. Press the power button on your Macbook (if it’s off), or choose restart from any menu the Macbook has left you on.
3. Hold down the OPTION key as the computer starts.
4. You’ll get a menu giving you options to use the Mavericks startup installer.
5. Click the installer and let it load OS X Mavericks onto your new Macbook Pro.

And Voila! You’re there. Once Mavericks is installed, you will have to set up the computer as you did when you first purchased it. Be sure to add your Apple ID and pick your Wi-Fi connection. You’ll have to add in your passwords, so hopefully you have them nearby.

Once you’re taking to the desktop, you’ll notice it’s BARE! All of your programs will be gone – so you can track down the programs and reinstall them Doing so will ensure that all of the old, uncessary files you created will be gone. If you just install and pull over content from your backup on your external hard drive, a lot of those junk files may come with it. I recommend just reinstalling software piece by piece so you know the hard drive is clean and remains that way.

Accessing files from your Time Machine backup

I understand a lot of you will want to access folders full of information from your Time Machine backup we created a few chapters ago. It’s very easy to do. Here’s a couple quick ways.

Accessing raw data

1. Plug in the external hard drive you created the backup on
2. Double-click the hard drive icon.
3. Double-click the Backups.backupdb folder.
4. Double-click your computer-named folder.
5. Now you will see a set of folders. These folders are all the backups you made during the process of backing up your data.
6. Click on the date of the folder that contains the file you’re looking for.
7. Double-click your computer-named folder.
8. Double click on the folder named Users.
9. Double click on your user name folder.
10. Now you’re free to track down your folder. Drag and drop it to the new computer desktop and you’re good to go!

2. Find the Time Machine icon and drag it to your dock.
