Can You mount a mac Pro In a case for On the Road work

I do audio pre and post production and I was thinking aobu ttaking a mac pro and putting it in a rack sideways . I know that the HD need pins(I think) to do that But I dont really know much else. any suggestions are appreciated

The MacPro is not a small tower. I don't think it will fit in a standard 19" rack case on it's side, even if you hack-sawed off the feet and handles (and who'd want to do that?!)
You can rack your Mac vertically with this deal: (it says G5 but I think the case is the same size for MacPro?)

And there are up to 5 rackspaces vertically for your outboard gear. This thing is the converter only and you still need to get a 12 space rack.

Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive?

Hello.
Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive? OS=Windows or Linux or BSD or MacOS... I know it is bios specific on a PC if the option is available. If this is possible, does anyone have a link to instructions?
Thanks,
Scott

Not to get in to an argument over semantics here, but by saying "Windows should boot if you have installed the requisite Boot Camp drivers," you are implying "that the Boot Camp drivers [are] needed for Windows to boot." I was just clarifying your post so people didn't get confused.
As for booting a Mac Pro off a USB flash drive, if you have been successful in doing so, can you share with me your method? I've tried booting of an OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive and it's never worked on my Mac Pro. It doesn't show up when I hold option down and if I try to boot through rEFIt, I get an error about my Mac's firmware not supporting USB booting (I have the latest firmware installed, too). I've tried GPT and MBR partitions, both to no avail. Booting off USB hard disk drives is no problem though. And I can boot off this flash drive on a Core Duo iMac.
Any ideas?

How many OS can you have in Mac Pro 1.1, have 3HDD so 3 OS?

Hi,
Currently have a Mac Pro 1.1, and want windows 64 bit as 32 bit isn't that good, keep running out of ram which slows the machine down! I currently have 2 HDD in this configuration:
Disk 1: 250GB, mac osx 10.7.5
Disk 2: 500GB windows 32 bit partition
500GB mac extra storage partition
I may get another HDD if I can install windows 7 64 bit on it, i just have a few questions.
I have a patched windows 7 64 bit to allow it to install via bootcamp, but had problems before so erased it and installed 32 bit, (had driver issues on 64 bit, and non mac gpu so couldn't see boot screen).
If I install it on a 3rd hard disk, will it show up when I hold down command when i boot up? I want to keep 32 bit in case something goes wrong.
Someone with experience would be awesome!
So I want to install windows 64 bit ultimate on a third hard drive without tampering with the others, i also want to know how to boot to it if it doesn't show up in the mac boot screen!
I have 10GB of ram and would like to fully utilise it, that along with 8 cores would make a powerful machine, which is limited in 32 bit!
Also, any additional guides to install it on a separate disk would be good!
Many thanks

In iTunes playlists and folders are two different things. I assume you are asking about playlists. 100 will not be a problem.
However, it is unnecessary to create a playlist for Now 82. If the tracks are properly tagged, it will show up as an album.

Can you mirror a Mac Mini to an AppleTV 3 when the mac mini is not connected to a display?

Hello, I have an AppleTV 3 connected to my television and a late 2012 Mac Mini that is not connected to a display/monitor/tv, but I use it as my iTunes server to stream media to the appletv . However, I was hoping I could mirror the Mac Mini to the AppleTV in order to see Safari and regular Hulu on the television, but when I try, the picture is scrambled and crashes the mac mini. I turn on airplay mirroring using the Rowmote application on my iphone since I cannot see what the mac mini is displaying.
Additionally, I tried connecting the mac mini to a 2nd hdmi port in the television, while the appletv is connected to the 1st hdmi port, but the image was also scrambled with mirroring turned on. My television also has a VGA port that can connect to the Mac Mini, but I figure the same problem will occur and have not bought the DVI to VGA cords.
Is there a way to mirror a mac mini to an appletv without the mac mini connected to a separate display and if so, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the responses, I appreciate any help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

Can you transfer final cut pro x to another computer with the same apple account?

I want to get Final Cut Pro X right away so I can start editing videos for my youtube channel, but I'm am also planning to get a Macbook Pro for school this year. Is it possible for me to buy & use Final Cut Pro X on my current macbook now, and then later copy and/or transfer the application to my new computer? Both computers would be run by the same apple account. Thanks! Please reply.

Hello There,
I'm not sure of how many in total you can have, but you can have FCPX on both your computers you just can't use them at the same time.

The USB port on the Time Capsule is used only to connect a hard drive.
Connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule if you do not want to use wireless.

How can I upgrade my Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
Mac OS X 10.5.8
MacPro1,1
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
OpenCL
requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
Thank you for any help and/or information !

It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

Hi - my 2011 Mac Pro no longer recognizes devices in the usb ports, I've been told it's the logic board. is there a way I can connect the iomega external hard drive to it through the firewire or thunderbolt ports?

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Can I drag my Mac Pro Mail folder to my MBP?

I have POP accounts on my Mac Pro (MP) which is my main computer. My MacBook Pro (MBP) I use when on the road, duh..
I want to be able to access my Apple Mail from my MP when on the road using my MBP (Mountain Lion).
I have an external mirror backup of my MP plugged into my MBP so I can access all files. But I'm trying to find a good
solution how to access my MP On My Mac Apple Mail folders.
If I drag my MP > Library > Mail folder to my MBP and replace my Mail folder on my MBP, when I launch my Mountain Lion (ML)
version of Apple Mail app on my MBP, that will now be accessing my MP Mail folder files, will my MBP Apple Mail be able
to access and read the replace Mail folder and thus I will be able to see all my MP stored On My Mac mail folders and mail?
Apple doesn't support this kind of POP stuff, but I'm exploring if I could damage my ML OS, or ML Mail application?
If the mail got lost, I still have it on my external backup and of course on my MP at my office.
I gather you can't launch Mail from an external drive while booted up off the MBP internal drive...
The other idea I'm contemplating is getting something like SplashTop which would allow my MBP to access my MP
and just launch Mail remotely.
And.. I did try option booting my MBP off the bootable external drive, but because it's got Lion on it and not ML,
the fans on my MBP didn't operate, so that's bad and I shut down immediately.
That's the saga... I can't be the only person on a MBP trying to work with and access Mail folders/files from another
computer and hoping for some creative solutions.
Thanks,
Steven

I actually have it the other way thinking of my iDevices as windows into my mail and my MP as my main repository. I also set my devices to delete of server any mail I move from my devices inbox to minimize multiple deleting unwanted mail.
But the real issue was to be able to access all my stored mail on my MP when traveling. IMAP is a way to go, yes. But my concern, please educate me if I'm wrong, I have 6 email accounts. With POP I can drag any email from any account to the ame folder on my MP.
As I understand IMAP each account would have its own sets of folders. So where I have "Work" ot "ToDo" folder that hold all mail regardless of account, I couldn't have one folder "Work" and drag all mail to it because folders are created per account, per ISP (and I have multiple accounts from various ISPs).
So I'd have to have a Work folder for each IMAP account and have check each instead of one the way it's set using POP - ON MY MAC on my MP.
If I'm right abou this, then using a remote app like SplashTop 2 to use any device to login to my MP to read, reply, delete, store, then is a great solution since I'm actually working on my MP remotely. Only problem would be if I forgot to turn my MP on before traveling.
Am I on the right path?

Im wondering what is the most GB of hard drive space I can have in my Mac Pro? The Apple representative on the phone said I could only do 8GB? Is this correct? I was thinking about maybe getting 3Tb internal hard drives, but that would exceed the limit apple representative said of a total of 8GB hard drive max?
Did I miss something?

Did I miss something?
Yes, what does "GB" refer to here? Is it hard drives or memory dimms?
If it's hard drives you can put any size SATA drive in your mac pro drive bays.
If it's memory dimms refer to OWC's charts for your model to see what you can add. So for a 5,1 (2010 Mac Pro) you could fill the slots with 8GB dimms.

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

Well, there are tricks in the Internet to install OS X Mavericks in that computer based on the use of emulators (because you cannot run OS X Mavericks due to your Mac firmware). However, they are risky and illegal, and we cannot provide support for them.
Instead, you can only upgrade your Mac Pro to OS X Lion officially > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Can I use a mac pro operating system disk to upgrade a macbook

I need to upgrade my 10.5.8 system to 10.6 before I can upgrade to Lion. I have a mac pro operating system disk for 10.6 can I use this?

No. The gray-colored restore DVDs provided with a Mac are not the retail OS version. They contain only the drivers applicable for the purchased hardware, and the installer has a function to verify the hardware is of the type the disk was created for. If you attempt to use the Mac Pro restore disk on a different model Mac, it will simply refuse to install.
