Can I use a usb bluetooth adaptor with mac pro which already has bluetooth?

Hi All,
I have an early 2008 Mac Pro. I have a bluetooth sound device that I'd like to use across the other side of the house. The problem is that the in-built bluetooth transceiver is limited in area and i have a usb transceiver that has 15m broadcast range. Is there a way i can make my Mac Pro use the usb dongle and not the internal hardware..?

You can disable the internal bluetooth radio. As long as you have drivers for your USB Bluetooth adapter you should be able to use it.

    Can I use a USB thumb drive with iPad2

    What do you want to do with the thumb drive?
    If for picture/movie files, You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

    can i use my usb audio interface with apple tv? For example Focusrite 2i2

    Afraid not - AppleTV does not support USB audio devices.
    I assume you don't mean using the device as an optical input for the computer, connecting AppleTV's optical out to it.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Cisco:
    Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922
    Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-
    http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1
    Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.
    Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!
    byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.
    Nice job,

  • How can I use an SSD in a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 2.66Ghz

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to work out how to use my new SSD in an old 2006 MacPro. Bear with me, I'm not an expert and trying to work out what is best for me.
    I recently bought a 1TB Samsung SSD 840EVO to use in my old Mac Pro, not to use as my main machine, but as a network slave to save RAM with sound sample libraries.
    I also got an Apricorn SATA III Velocity Solo x2 - Extreme Performance SSD Upgrade Kit to get high speeds
    http://www.apricorn.com/products/desktop-ssd-hdd-upgrade-kits/vel-solox2.html?gc lid=CLOi46bvqMICFVGCMgodPG8AdA
    After installing the HD using the SATAIII connector in a PCIe slot, I did a hard drive test and realised I could only get about 160mbps, not 300-500mpbs which I think the SSD should run at. I had my friend test it on his machine too, and we realised the problem is the "Link Width" which says "x1" and not "x4" or something, so that the speed isn't running at full speed.
    So apparently it's not compatable.
    Apparently what I CAN do is install it in a regular Hard Drive bay with a sled, which will be SATA II ... will that work?
    I think I can use this: http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Pro-2006-2008-Sled-Drives/dp/B00AN55034
    Anyway - is this what I should be doing to get the fastest available connection?
    Any advice would be great- thanks!!!

    SATA II is generally just fine, no fuss no muss, for the system. Using PCIe to boot adds problems and most if not all such PCIe SSD cards do NOT WORK in 32-bit Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 (and the 3,1 is also sometimes difficult with some cards).
    Data uses though are useful, work, and benefit. Lightroom, Aperture, scratch, even iPhoto - all those graphic libraries.
    I would rewrite and make it "will the native SATA II drive bays" work, and the answer to that is YES. But not faster.
    You have a 4x and 8x slot, so one of those is fine.
    It is the reads and zero latency seeks along with queue depth and high 90K IOs per sec that help an SSD shine.
    Putting a 250GB or 500GB EVO 840 is the easiest and best return on system improvement you can make for $120-240 (plus $14 for Icy Dock adapter).
    Even the 2008 has two 4x PCIe 1.1 slots. The 2009 has PCIe 4x 2.1 slots that share bandwidth and cap out (only learned from stripping SSDs using two PCIe cards and 2-4 SSDs), so they aren't perfect either! ONLY the 5,1 really has the best PCIe design and setup.
    Sonnet only supports or recommends their Tempo Pro which is what I bought, so I don't know off hand how well yours works and if it even will. Some cards do require EFI 64-bit, AND 10.8.x or later, and maybe even PCIe 2.0 - but only to work, ie they don't work or not supported in PCIe 1.0... but NOT about the bandwidth.
    Booting in 10 seconds is nice. Launching a full dozen apps in 10 seconds (and ready to use) also. Only larger program suites takes 20 seconds now.
    250MB/sec is nothing to sneeze at when it comes to boot drive SSD.

  • Can i use my G5 drive in the Mac Pro?

    Hi.
    I have a 2005 G5 with a western digital serial ata drive with all my audio on it.
    I also have an airport card which id like to put in the mac pro.
    Can i put them in my new mac pro which i should get in the next few days?
    Im not sure if there is a faster airport now and i should buy that?
    Cheers, Benji

    Sometimes it is okay, but in the end, you are much better off to clone the drive, erase format so it has a GUID partition scheme. Really.
    As for 4 yr old WD drive, keep it for an emergency boot drive or something. I'd say put it in USB/FW case but not everything is happy in FW land lately. Pick up some new SATA drives, they are more than 2x faster, and $100 for 1TB.

  • No airport card easiest way to access wireless can you use a usb wireless on the mac

    My mac pro is not equiped wirelessly, what is the easiest way to access internet wirelessly.
    CanI purchase a usb wireless to work on the mac pro?

    yes, you sure can.usb wifi adapters are availabe for your Mac Pro. try afterthemac.com. I don't work for them, just the first page that popped up. Dlink
    makes something, but you may have heard a few stories about how DLink might be
    'iffy' (someone else's words, not mine). Oh, and apparently, you can make an antenna signal  booster out of an aluminum can.....
    anyways, best of luck

  • Can I use 2 Matrox DoubleHead2Go on a Mac Pro 1.1 ?

    Hi there,
    I'd like to us 2 dualhead2go in order to use them on a 2009 Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI outputs.
    Can a Mac OSX system on a Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI handle 2 devices like that, one on each DVI, in order to have 4 screens ?
    Or could I only do 3 screens with an only one TripleHead2Go on one of the DVI available on the MacPro 1.1 ?
    Let me know if you have tested that or now a bit more than the Matrox website...
    Regards,
    Julien

    If you have a mac Pro 1,1 which can only run up to Mac OS X 10.7.5, your options are somewhat limited.
    If you have a 2009 model or any model that can run Mac OS X AFTER 10.7.5, there are many graphics card solutions you can use to support as many as six displays directly from your Mac.

  • Looking for USB Hub compatible with Mac Pro 8 Core (early 2008)!

    I need a good, reliable USB Hub. I was looking at a D-Link with 7 ports but I read a review on Amazon saying it didn't work well with 8 core Mac Pro. The reviewer said the Mac only recognized some of the time upon start up and he had to unplug and replug to get it going.
    Not sure if this was user error or faulty product.
    Anyone have any experience with a good reliable 7 port USB Hub? Perhaps even with this D-Link?
    Thanks!
    Zap

    There are also reports (see http://www.hardmac.com today) of over loading USB ports on Mac Pro... even if you only use the available ports and hubs (like Cinema Display which should be getting its own power, but does not).
    I would strongly recommend a PCIe controller first.

  • How can I use Final Cut Express in a Mac Pro

    I want to know how could I use my Final Cut Express HD programm (Version 3) in my new Mac Pro.

    FCE 3.0 was not designed to work with Intel based Macs when they were introduced years ago so you have no chance with a modern Mac.
    You must upgrade to FCE 4 unless you want to move onto Final Cut Pro X which is designed to be used with the latest technology.
    Final Cut Studio 3 will also work OK.

  • Can you use a VGA monitor on the Mac Pro model?

    I'm considering getting a new Mac Pro to replace my beloved PowerMac G4 MDD. I have a ViewSonic Graphics Series 19" CRT monitor (VGA) that I use as a palette monitor, with a 19" SyncMaster LED as my main monitor (DVI). My PowerMac's video card has both DVI and VGA ports.
    Will I be able to use my VGA monitor with the basic Mac Pro (MB871LL/A)? Will a DVI/VGA video port adapter work, and if so, will it work well? Thanks.

    I had two 19" Viewsonic WS monitors hooked up to my X1900XT on my MacPro and it worked just fine with the VGA/DVI adapters (I got the small 2" white adapters that don't have any "cord" in the middle. I swapped them out for two 22" WS Acer monitors and now use the DVI inputs and I am still happy.

  • Can I use an iMac to control a mac pro

    I have a 2008 Mac pro that's working well. Since I'm doing a lot a video creation that needs to go to DVD I'm not ready to give it up. but I see the need for a more modern machine for some of the newer software I would like to use. so here is the question.
    Can I use a new iMac as my primary machine, and send the video files to the mac pro for rendering, compression, and storage?
    also can I boot up an older OS (snow leopard) from a disk on the mac pro?
    thanks
