[QUOTE="mac57, post: 1918007, member: 17052"] Folks, I was having the same problems and solved them by upgrading my [B][U]2008 [/U][/B]Mac Pro to High Sierra. This is several releases above the maximum release that Apple says you can run on a 2008 Mac Pro. I accomplished the update using tools from an admittedly oddly named developer who goes by "dosdude1". Using dosdude1's tools, I upgraded the above-mentioned 2008 Mac Pro to High Sierra and ran it that way for two years, until just yesterday, when I took delivery of my new Mac Studio. You can get dosdude1's High Sierra upgrade tools at: [URL unfurl="true"]http://dosdude1.com/highsierra/[/URL] His stuff is solid and it works well. I would recommend it. Once you have upgraded, you will not only solve your initial problem but you will also be delighted by the buckets of more recent software that you suddenly have the option of running. [/QUOTE]
