Greetings, Reference close thread, Frequent (Ethernet) Disconnects Recap from 2019: Late 2013 Mac Pro, frequent IP disconnects under Systems Sierra and Mojave. All Ethernet, NO Wireless involved. Probable cause found. BLUF: Brother 6545DW print driver software randomly forced the Mac to...

Hi Lovely K. Yes, I agree. a Pee Cee on the same LAN continues normally during Mac disconnects. Ethernet cables, connectors are tested and good. Apple Menu, about this Mac, System Report, all normal. When the disconnect happens, there are only 2 ways I can reconnect. (1) Full reboot (2)...

Hi Satcomer, thanks for the YASU advice. I now use it upon every end of day shutdown. The disconnects occur less often, like randomly about every hour or two, instead of every 10 minutes. Either YASU is solving something, something that doesn't stay solved, or theres something else. Thanks...

Hi, Internet connection goes offline frequently, and this is not about wifi. :) Here's the setup: Mac Pro (the Late 2013) System Sierra 10.12.6 Firefox 62.0.b11 Static IP Ethernet (not wireless) Pace Uverse Modem with wifi always OFF. Downstream ASUS router for Apple TV and other IOT things...

Hi ShawneeNDN, I would be suspicious of the memory modules. I don't recall the module configuration for the G-4 all that well, so I'll answer on my own experiences and see if it helps. Bad memory module can prevent or allow bootup; signs and symptoms are kernal panic. If it had been...

Hello, Searched around for USB3 related message threads, finding none current, here goes. :) This URL reveals fantastic news about the new Photofast Air USB3 adapter. It bumps the MacBook Air to 256 gigs and provides a USB3 port. Price unknown, Release date unknown...

Hi Anatta1 I can't believe the admins of this website haven't jumped all over your message. Oh well, here's some options, none of which are all that favorable. -- Remove the hard drive and remount it in either another case or in a USB external drive adapter (in case the damage affected...

Hi ElDiabloConCaca, I just received an email reply from Evga; they have, in fact, discontinued the 01G-P3-1080-TR and have no plans for any other video cards for the Mac. I bit the bullet and ordered it at a higher price from another vendor that has 5 left. Modifying the PC version of the...

Hi ElDiabloConCaca, Thanks much for replying with the suggested ATI 4870. Video output ports are not HDMI like the ATI 2600 that comes with the Mac Pro. The two non-Apple monitors I have can handle both HDMI and DVI, so the setup is OK at least with one monitor. The 2nd output of the...

Here's the fix for the rules not migrating: http://www.macfixitforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/463491#Post463491

Hi Morris96, I assume you refer to making the messages migrate. Please try your rules and see if they migrated and work. I also tried removing the message rules and causing mail.app to use the backup rules, but then they (the rules I finder-copied) still wouldn't run. I really hate...

Hi, Mail.app rules won't migrate from System Tiger to System Leopard. Here's what I did: -- Clean install of System Leopard 10.5.6 onto a new Mac Pro. -- Used Migration Assistment to move files from System Tiger to System Leopard 10.5.6. -- Mail.app's rules failed to migrate. So, I...

Hi ElDiabloConCaca, Thanks much for replying. I rarely do batch processing in tandem with other processor intensive activities, and unless there are some hidden characteristic of the Two 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xenon vs the one, then it appears saving $500 is more important. I do get my...
