Hi,

 

I think that the AutoCAD installer will prevent installation on your Mac because of 2007 year of production.

Thanks for getting back to me,

 

is there a way of over-riding the installer? I'm a student, and cant afford to buy a new computer!

Never tried.

 

But I had successful experience with installing AC 2013 for Mac on early 2008 Mac Pro without any modifications in installer.

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,
Is it Mac Pro 3,1?
Could you provide amount of RAM on your Mac?
Which OS do you have?
Have you tried to run installation?
