Thanks a lot!! It Worked!

Yes that did work! But does this mean that I have to repeat this process everytime I want to save something? And how does extracting work because thats the bit where i don't get to choose where it extracts.

Hi everyone, Yet another problem with my MacPro... Regarding my last post, I did eventually manage to reinstall OSX El Capitan on the mac pro, but now that it all works, I still get some problems. I use this mac for music recording and I use Pro Tools 12.6 as my main DAW. When I create new music, you can save it as a folder with the Pro Tools file, the audiofiles etc. Normally on my windows pc and my macbook pro I can save it wherever I want (desktop, downloads, documents you name it), but the Mac Pro gives me the notification that those folders do not exist. I really hope someone here does know how to fix this problem because the temporary solution I have now is saving everything on a USB device or in the cloud (those 2 options are not that practical if you're working with audio). Also, when I want to extract .zip files, it gives the same error.. The error message is as follows: *filename* could not be extracted to "folder name" (error 2 - file or directory does not exist) The specs of the Mac Pro are as follows: 2x 2,4Ghz quad core Intel Xeon 28Gb 1066MHz DDR3 memory ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024mb GPU 500GB Samsung evo 850 SSD (bootdrive) 1TB ??? HDD

I'll try this one! Thanks!

How do you do that? I just use mac for recording and mixing so i haven't really tried anything fancy like this before. Only on Windows so a little guide would be awesome!

Hi everyone, I just started working in a new musicrecordingstudio where they gave me a used mac pro to work on. Trouble is, the previous owner has formatted te ssd where el capitan was installed. If i try to boot it, I get 4 options: Resetting with help of a time machine (there are no time machine files found), Install OsX again, search for help online and diskmanager. I've tried all the options and none of them work. When i try to install El Capitain, it just gives te error that "your product could not be retreived right now". My thoughts were to make a timemachine copy of my macbook pro, get it on a USB and try to use that as bootingoption for the Mac Pro. But maybe you guys have better options for me to work with? Ps: I already tried recoverymode using cmd+R and alt+R. Both didnt work. Thanks!!

I have been using an OCZ Vertex 120gb SSD with my system but i seems to be crashing a lot. So i was thinking of upgrading to a new one. My only problem is that i have no installationdisc of windows.. I first downloaded it (illigaly my apologies ) and bought an upgradekey afterwards. Do I have to buy Windows again or is there any way i could use my current legal key?

my bad. it's the i5 3470 back to the gpu, thanks for the advice! i sure will consider that extra 30 euro's

the r9 270x is around 180 euro's in the Netherlands (where I live ) but what is the biggest difference between these 2 cards?

As a student I simply cannot afford great big graphicscards. Therefore I was snooping around on the internet and I found the EVGA gtx 750ti ftw edition. It costs around 150 euro's and there are some youtubers who have tested this card and have given their opinion, but I still hope the Linuscommunity can give me the ultimate advice. Please help me guys. Down here are the specs of my pc: Asus Maximus V Gene Motherboard Intel i5 3470 cpu 8gb kingston valueRAM 1333Ghz DDR3 memory Cooler master GX 750w bronze power supply
