I'm hoping that this Macrium image will solve my issueĮxcuse my daftness, but this Web page indicates Macrium is a product for backing up Windows PCs. They then do a Macrium backup, and just restore that backup image to all Macs that need to be imaged.

We don't formally "image" Macs around the office, instead they just do a vanilla install of OS X, install a couple VMware applications, MS Office 2016 (or is it 2015 for Mac OS?), and a couple of other small common applications. And good point that a fellow Vancouverite might be able to help.Īs discussed in a PM with someone else, the IT desktop services folks are currently trying to find an elusive backup image of a fresh install of Mavericks.

As mentioned in my earlier post, the regular client version of Snow Leopard is still available from the online Apple Store (with free shipping). However, Server seems a bit overkill for asbath's needs. So, if you want it, you'd better not drag your feet. There's currently one Apple Specialist who can source it (his contact details are in my post linked above).
A couple of months ago, I described the hoops that I had to jump through to buy it (see this thread).īasically, Apple finally stopped manufacturing the DVDs and the remaining supply is very limited. Things have markedly changed since 2013, in terms of getting your hands on Snow Leopard Server. Here's a thread I found about it from 2013: This was a few years ago, but hey, if you're going to spend 20 bucks, might as well get the most you can for it. I was able to get Snow Leopard Server on disc for $19.99 by calling Apple. Little bit of help, please? What are my options? However, everybody seems to say that Apple doesn't provide disk images, instead they went the recovery partition route.

I wouldn't be against getting an ISO for either version, but I just figured I'd try to upgrade to the latest possible version.

So how does one go about acquiring a DVD/ISO image of Mac OS? It doesn't need to be the latest and greatest, but hopefully the last version that is supported on this Mac Pro 3.1 hardware? I think Yosemite was the last one?įor what it's worth, I'm told that the OS version installed is either Lion or Mountain Lion. However, it doesn't look like Apple has any "Recovery DVDs" in the same way that say Dell or Lenovo provides for their machines. The next part is that I see El Capitan does not support this machine, so purchasing through the App Store won't work either - dammit. From some research, I've determined that there's no such thing as a "key" or "license" in the same way that Windows works - good.

I've been a Windows user my entire life, so I'm unfamiliar with how Mac OS X OS images and licensing works. What I'd like to do is remove all but 1 functioning disks and re-install Mac OS X so that I have a functioning Mac. It says that it's got a 1.5TB hard disk, when there are 3x 500GB drives physically installed. Currently the drives are in spanned RAID mode, from what I can gather from the Command+R > Disk Utility read out. I suspect it's the RAID card that's faulty or the first of the spanned disks is dead. The system doesn't boot, instead it's flashing the folder + question mark, which according to support docs means it cannot find the OS.
One of the drives is dying if not already dead. While basically functional, Lion DiskMaker for Mac lacks many features that would make it useful to anyone other than those users who need a bootable USB or new CD of their Mac OS.I managed to get my hands on a Mac Pro 3.1, and I'm wanting to play around with it. The program also offers the option of creating a bootable DVD of the OS, which would be a welcome option for users who buy secondhand Macs or do not have their original recovery CD.
The program did install the OS image on the test USB, but booting from this device was not tested separately. After this was fixed, the program worked quickly, walking the user through the setup process. At first, the program stated during testing that no Mac installation file had been found, but after consulting the FAQ section, this was solved. The menu is small, but uncomplicated and walks the user through the process. At startup, Lion DiskMaker for Mac immediately asks which operating system the user would like to use, whether OS X 10.7 or 10.8. Minimal instructions were included beyond a frequently asked questions section and it was not clear if technical support was available. The free program downloaded and installed easily. Lion DiskMaker for Mac lacks any other features, but completes this function well. While not easily completed with native programs, users may still want the ability to create a bootable USB of their Mac OS.
