[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1631298, member: 56379"] Yes…you are officially stuck with OS 10.7.5…and it has been this way since OS 10.8 was released July, 2012. There are some tweaks/hacks, etc. that are supposed to allow you to install OS 10.8 or 10.9. But these things are not even close to being endorsed by Apple…and they could mess up your system big time if you do something wrong. And even if they are done correctly…you may not have 100% stability. Apple really "orphaned" the early model Mac Pro's (1,1 and 2,1 models)…in terms of OS upgradability. The Mac Pro 3,1's (and newer) are the one's to own for the best OS upgrade options. I know that you originally may have invested a lot of money in your Mac Pro. But at current prices…Mac Pro 1,1's are only worth about $250 bucks…and 16 gig of ram can be purchased for about $80-$90bucks. Used Mac Pro 3,1's can be purchased for about $400-$500. Hope this helps, - Nick p.s. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 and I sure wish I could OFFICIALLY upgrade the OS beyond 10.7! p.p.s. By the way. If your Mac Pro 1,1 is still a 4-core setup. It can be upgraded to 8-cores for only about $40-$60.:) So this would certainly speed up some of your CS6 work!:) [/QUOTE]
