Can I use a PowerMac G4 Power Cable on a Mac Pro?

Hello,
I got a Mac Pro 1,1 (1st Generation from 2006) and I don't have a power cable with it. I do, however have a PowerMac G4 with the same sized cable.  Would I be able to safely use the PowerMac G4 Cable with the Mac Pro?
Cheers,
Adam

Not a problem, the cables are rated for much more power than the machines will draw so they are interchangeable.  Any computer cable with the same three-prong connection will work.

    I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

    can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly.  If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Can I use XP, Vista and Windows Server on my Mac Pro

    Looking for options to have multiple Operating Systems available for bootup.
    I need to have the ability to run XP, Vista, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 server. I am currently using a Windows PC with BootCommander. I want to use my Mac Pro for its power.
    I have tried to use VMWare Fusion and it works perfectly. However, Camtasia crashes regularly within Fusion and I need high resolution desktop captures and the way virtualization does (rather does not) virtualize the RAM on the video card has made it not a viable solution.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Format one or more of your drives as MBR and setup some partitions. Install in proper order. Or use multiple drives. Maybe someone on Fusion forum can help.

    Some have used multiple VMs with Fusion and Apple Pro RAID5.

  • TS3622 It even happens when you connect BOTH power cables on a Mac Pro 3,1

    I  have a Mac 3,1 and have recently fitted the ATI Radon HD 5870 replacing the old graphics card. (It is one week old)
    One monitor is the NEC Spectraview 2690 which is connected to the mini-Display port and the other monitor is the Apple 23" connected to the DVI port.
    After I have shut down the Mac Pro at night and restart it the following morning,  two (BOTH) blank screens appears on booting up.
    I then have to press and hold the power button to shut down the system and then reboot the sytem and then the screens come up properly for me to log in.
    I can then use the computer as normal.

    There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

  • Can I use my iMac as a screen for my Mac Pro via Spaces?

    Ok, I know this sounds odd... Nevertheless, I wanted to know if it's possible to do this. I write a lot of music and want to use two completely different computers to manipulate midi files vs. audio files. I want to use my Mac Pro for actually writing the music, and then render the files as audio and arrange them on my iMac.
    I don't want to get a second monitor, but rather, be able to flip back and forth between my iMac and my Mac Pro on the same screen, relatively quickly. I'm not sure if Spaces has this capability, ie. using one desktop that corresponds to the iMac and one desktop that corresponds to the Mac Pro, all on the iMac's screen.
    Is this even possible or does the iMac not even have the capability of accepting a video signal from my Mac Pro?

    If you Mac Pro has a mini display port out, then the iMac can be used as a monior for the Mac Pro. This is from the apples support document:
    To use a 27-inch iMac in Target Display mode with another computer as the source:
    1. Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
    2. Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort cable to the Mini DisplayPort on each computer. The 27-inch iMac will enter Target Display mode and display content from the source computer.
    Note: If you are connecting two 27-inch iMacs, connect a Mini DisplayPort cable to each computer and press Command + F2 on the 27-inch iMac keyboard that you will use as an external display.
    3. To leave Target Display mode, press Command + F2 on the keyboard of the 27-inch iMac that is in Target Display mode. To return to Target Display mode, press Command + F2 again.

  • Can I use second drive from my G5 in a Mac Pro?

    Does anyone know whether I can transfer the second drive in my G5 Power Mac to an opend rive bay in a Mac Pro?
    Thanks in advance
    Rod

    Daniel,
    Rest assured your 2-3 yr old SATA drives will work. An "ATA" (EIDE or PATA) will not work. There is a tight fit, but nothing to prevent using any SATA drive.
    Your G5 drives will work just fine. Drives that are newer, SATA II (3Gb/sec) will run slightly better, and the Mac Pro has support for things like NCQ.
    Four drive "sleds" are included, each with the necessary screws for attaching a SATA drive. The 250GB Seagate 7200.9 drive included with the computer had SATA-only power connections, while a 80GB Maxtor SATA drive from our Power Mac G5/1.8 had both SATA and traditional power connections, but it, too, fit into the supplied sockets when the sled was pushed into place.
    Serial ATA Drive Interface
    The Mac Pro comes standard with one 7200 rpm, 3 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive and three additional 3 Gbps SATA slots for adding hard disk drives. The SATA drives interface through an AHCI 1.1 controller that supports advanced SATA-II features Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and PHY power management. NCQ increases performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to re-order commands to reduce seek time and increase transactional efficiency.
    In addition, the Mac Pro has two unpopulated 3 Gbps SATA buses for expansion. Looking at System Profiler, all 6 SATA busses seem to be active
    For more information on SATA, see Serial ATA International Organization.
    For information on the AHCI controller, see AHCI Specifications.

  • Can I use the 2nd Optical Drive Bay on my Mac Pro for an SSD?

    Since I have no plans to add a second Optical Drive to my Mac Pro in the Second Optical Drive bay, I was wondering if I could put an SSD in that bay using a 2.5' to 3.5" drive carriage. Is this possible? Would it work? Would I be able to use it as my boot drive? Never tried this, so not sure if it would work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Your 2010 model has SATA wiring in that bay, so the SSD plugs right in.
    Macs can boot from the drive specified in System preferences > Startup Disk.
    You would need an adapter from 2.5 size of the drive to the 5.25 (CD drive) size expected, but since there are no moving parts, most folks just dump the drive in there without a bracket.
    The biggest payback comes from establishing a Boot Drive with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden Unix files including Paging/Swap. Putting the boot drive on an SSD is frosting -- it provides an incremental improvement over a spinning Boot drive.
    A caution when establishing your drive -- some users have killed brand new SSD drives by cloning onto them. The manufacturers have not been helpful in telling us why this happens, but a clean Install may be a better way to proceed.

  • Can I use a new CPU in my early 2009 MAC PRO Single 2.8 Quadcore

    Is it possble to replace the CPU Module with the latest CPU moduels on off for the Mac Pro?
    The current one is below
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Mac Pro4.1 Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66
    i Processor Early 2009

    Hello. I have done this many times. When I originally had the 2009 Nehalem single quad, it was a 2.66 processor as well. I bought the w3580 which is the top of the line of that generation and runs at 3.33 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.60. The procedure to change the 2.66 to say the 3.33 is the same as for the 2010 series processors 2.8(also nehalem w3530) and the 3.2 which is a w3565. The only processors you would not be able to upgrade with the original 2009 boards are the hex core, or w36xx series. This is because of the firmware upgrade which recognizes Westmere or B1 stepping.
    Think of it this way.. any w35xx will work in the 2009 and or 2010 mac pro(single quad only) while the w36xx series will only work in the 2010 series.
    Mind me asking what you currently use your mac pro for of which would warrant the need to go with a higher speed processor? You could very well just max out the memory and or pick up SSD drives and that alone will help to dramatically speed things up. W3580 3.33 will run you about 400-600 dollars, sometimes even less. The w3580 is the max you can go with the 2009 mac pro series.. then its getting the dual boards if you want to go even further, but I don't recommend that as the processor board and processors themselves are about as close to a 2010 mac pro.

  • Can I use this USB 2.0 card in my mac pro?

    I have a brand new Belkin USB 2.0 5 port PCI card that says its compatible with MAC
    I have a mac pro 2.8 8 core and i need to add mroe USB ports. However it says the card is PCI and i don't want to put it in if its not going to work, or not work well
    can you guys let me know what i should do?
    thanks

    Considering that two people have had nothing but trouble with Belkin USB hubs (one G5, other was Mac Pro) I'd exchange it when you do for another brand, not that their PCIe won't work, just lately a poor track record perhaps.

  • Can I use a 6 GB/sec sata drive in Mac Pro

    Will I have any operating problems installing additional hard drive with 6GB/sec speed in a Mac Pro?  The Mac Pro manual says the computer reads at 3GB/sec.

    Throw out those out of date 'specs' or take with grain of salt.
    You want the newest drives. Even if we don't have SATA III controller.
    And most buyers don't have the latest motherboards and SATA3 (and some that did like Early 2011 Macs had trouble  with the controllers but never the dries).
    None of the drives need jumpers that was an old issue back in G5 days and not since.

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.

    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.
