MP 1,1-5,1 Sequoia on the 5,1

Original BT works flawless on my 5,1. Was tricky to get it to work as I remember.

I just updated my Mac Pro 5.1 from Sequoia 15.7.3 to 15.7.7, using OCLP 2.4.1.

I started the update from the system (Software Update).
At that point, OCLP launched and downloaded something.
Then the restart took a while, and I was a bit worried because my Mac seemed to get stuck at the beginning of the progress bar… 🙂 But after about 10-15 minutes, it continued!

So don't panic, just wait!
Once I got to the session log, the colors were off because macOS had cleaned up the graphics files.
OCLP offered to redownload them, and everything is working perfectly now.

Voilà !

"patience is a virtue". Good to know it works.

I hope my experience helped you.

Hello I'm having some problems with my Mac Pro 2009 Mac Pro.

Can you confirm:

1. Safari and App Store app work with out crashing?

2. Your front usb ports work when you connect an iPhone?

Thanks

1. Safari and App Store app work with out crashing?

Yes, no problem at all. I tested Safari with no issue, but I don't use it.

2. Your front usb ports work when you connect an iPhone?

Yes both my front USB1.1 ports are functional. Note that under Sonoma and Sequoia (and Tahoe) you must use a USB hub on which you connect your keyboard±mouse to activate the USB ports during install (so that they are detected).
I don't have any iPhone sorry.

What's frustrating for me, is that I use a KVM switch to jump between my PC and Mac Pro.

Which ever boots first, doesn't matter which one. If I'm on the Mac the mouse on the KVM works fine the first time.

As soon as I switch to the PC, which works every time regardless, but when I switch back to the Mac, the mouse is no longer responsive once I switched back to the Mac.

I bought a 2.0 USB hub and hooked it up to the KVM switch, then the mouses to the Mac & PC. Still does the same thing. No response from the mouse on the Mac, once I switch to the PC and back.

Strange deal. Did not do that on Monterey or Mojave I believe, only started doing it when I upgraded to Sonoma and onward.

I have a separate mouse directly to the Mac for use.

Anyone have any idea what might be the issue?

If I stay on the Mac and never switch, it works all day through the KVM switch.

THANKS ALL😉

Thank you for your reply.

I have several Mac Pros in my Office.

I am on the road to retirement, so I'm trying to keep the computers working for as long as possible.

I have encountered a specific problem on one of the computers, whereby Safari and App Store crash on loading.

The second problem is when I connect an iPhone via USB directly on the computer it will show up in the USB devices tree but it will not mount on the desktop.

The iPhone did mount on the desktop in Sequoia 15.7.4 but not after the update. I have tried various reinstalls with OCLP but to no avail. I have seen this issue reported on other forums but no solution was found.

I will keep trouble shooting the problem.....
