Probably not a great answer, but assuming you have 2012 still installed, you could save as MusicXML, and open in 2014 that way. Once open in 2014, you could probably save it is 2012 format successfully if you wanted to do that. Of course you will lose some formatting through the MusicXML

The single best thing you can do for your MacPro is move the system to a SSD. Or do a Fusion drive on it. My 2008 MacPro takes about 20 seconds to boot. Second thing you can do is install 10.8 or 10.9. It requires a little bit of work, but it is totally possible. You need to install Chameleon
