Enquiry about Mac Pro Software

My wife and I are trying to decide whether to purchase an IMac or a Mac Pro.
We like the sleekness of the IMac and the fact that everything is in one unit. Having said that, acquiring a machine that can grow with our needs is high on our list of priorities.
If we choose a Mac Pro, do we have to purchase the iLife software separately? Also, can a Mac Pro be upgraded from OS X to OS X Server?
Thanks to everyone for considering this enquiry.

  • About Mac Pro RAM and one "Nehalem" Processor 2.8 vs 3.2

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I don't have so much money to spend but I find Apple products very high quality and in same time very expensive, specially for my country (Russia), according to statistic, it’s less then 1% of people that using Mac Pro in here, my country really poor :/
    I never use Mac before, but I think that time is come and I would like to buy one on my birthday soon (22 November). I really tired of my crazy PC with Vista, it’s always bugs lags, and so on, it’s poor machine. I can buy new PC with i7, nice performances or buy Mac, but I think, Mac will be more quality and stable.
    I'm web designer and programmer and using my PC with Adobe programs, normally Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, very rare with After Effect (1 day per month). Sometimes I’m playing games like Dragon Age or CS:Source, Starcraft2. But I got PS3, but unfortunately it’s connected to our main home TV, and I can’t play PS3 because all day this TV watching my family :/ lol
    I’m not sure if there are any way to connect PS3 to TV and computer screen at the same time… but it’s another question.
    Now about Mac I'm wondering of buying cheapest Mac Pro 2010:
    # One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem”
    # 3GB (3x1GB)
    # 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
    # ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
    # One 18x SuperDrive
    But at the same time, I wondering about how long time I will be able to use this Mac, and enjoy it before it will come too old. Because I just can’t spend and buy Mac every 2-3 years.
    I’m looking forward to use it for 4-5 years I think or so. I know it’s very hard question and I’m not really sure if it’s right to discuss it, but I’m saying just what I think.
    And maybe because of this, it’s better to order processor with 3.2Ghz, and a bit more RAM (8GB (4x2GB))? What you think?
    And what will be the different between this 2 processors and more RAM? Because it will be +800 USD or so, and it’s very expensive for me (pay addition 800 Dollars), I just want to ask you if it will costs this money. Unfortunately I can’t spend more money on Mac to buy 6-core Westmare and more RAM But I think cheapest Mac, for my tasks already very powerful and awesome, what you think?
    And if you’ll advice me, not to pay addition 400 USD for +0.4Ghz, and the different is very little, then what you think about addition Ram for stock MAC?

    Thank you hatter.
    I'm appreciate for your help and answer, and this amazing links! They are very helpful.
    I find some interesting information. And most interesting is SSD thing. But unfortunately it's very expensive for me

    And I’m not really sure, if they offer high quality components, and I can’t check it.
    I just don’t want to repeat same experience like with my previous computer – I bought top computer for very high price with top components, but everything was bugging, it’s terrible, I’m working with this computer 3 years now (it’s cored 2 duo with radeon x1900 and vista :S video card - without supporting DX10-11, 2 Hdd 500Gb RAID 0, - maximum lags – I cant’ even make a diagnostics… crazy). And I’m so sad about this computer, and I don’t want to repeat same experience. That’s why I wonder about Mac Pro or any other quolity PC, but price is too high, or if I buy just normal Mac Pro:
    • One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem”
    • 3GB (3x1GB)
    • 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
    • ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
    • One 18x SuperDrive
    • Apple Magic Mouse
    • Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) & User's Guide
    For 2499 USD, I still need to add more RAM, and It will costs 2874 USD with 8 Gb, but without changing Processor and/or HDD for SSD to speed up computer like **** and enjoy it every minute. I maximum can spend 3000-3200 USD for new computer. And all I want, to enjoy it’s stability and speed. To load photoshop in less then 5 seconds, working with AE a bit, 3dmax a bit, play a bit. Maybe I want to much :/

  • Mac pro software issues

    I am about to buy my umpteenth Mac. I am considering the Mac Pro 2.66GHz but I have a graphics business and don't want to buy new software for everything I use. Here's what I use... AdobeCS2 with InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and GoLive. I also use AfterEffects and Final Cut Pro 4. Will I have software issues that make this buy more money than I anticipate??? Should I buy the last of the PowerMacs and wait another year before jumping to the Mac Pro?

    Adobe Version Cue doesn't work well with Intel Macs.
    Of all the products you list, only Final Cut is currently Universal. This means you will see better speed from a top end G5 than the Mac Pros you are considering all but Final Cut Pro. If you can wait a year, or upgrade your G4 to Tiger it may be worth it for the Adobe suite to just stick with a G4 or a G5.
    While you can use all of the Adobe software on an Intel Mac, it won't be as fast as a G5 until it is made Universal.

  • New 2009 Mac Pro, Software Update never finishes (finds no updates/result)

    I have a brand new 8-core Mac Pro (new 2009 Nehalem-based model). The configuration is stock, 2.26GHz CPUs and 6GB of RAM. Bought this at the Apple Store yesterday. It is fresh out of the box; I have not even installed anything yet.
    When I run Software Update, the "Checking for new software..." sheet appears, and the progress bar gets about 10% done, and then it just hangs there. For hours, so I assume infinitely.
    The Software Update program is not crashed--you can still pull down the menus, and if you click Cancel, it will. It just never finds any updates. Nor does it finish the process and tell me my system is up to date.
    I tried it on the command line too, and it hangs in the same way:
    *IT-PC-MACPRO-1:~ mason$ softwareupdate --list*
    *Software Update Tool*
    *Copyright 2002-2007 Apple*
    ...also apparently forever.
    Other than this, I haven't seen any problems with it in one day of use. This obviously seems like a software/configuration problem, not a hardware problem but still... not the best out-of-the-box experience. I am hoping this turns out to be a known issue with a simple fix. But has anybody else seen this issue?
    The one thing I did try was moving the Mac to an entirely different network (from home to office). Other Macs here don't have any problem, just this one.
    Clues appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    1) I found updating worked as expected if I created a another admin account, and used that to run Software Update. However, Software Update still would hang infinitely if I ran it using my main account (again, a fresh account created by unboxing the Mac and doing the first-use interview wizard thing).
    2) Being curious, I tried removing each file you suggested independently, and trying Software Update (without restarting). None had an effect until I removed the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
    After moving this folder aside, and launching Software Update again, it worked normally (no reboot required).
    So that's some data, posted for posterity. I saved the corrupt cache file that seems to have caused the problem, so I'll file a bug report with Apple if I have time.

  • Few questions about mac pro before buying

    Hello all!
    I may be buying a mac pro in a month or so and have a few questions about it.
    1. ) Any one know when Apple may release the latest mac pro? Don't wanna buy some thing that'll be significantly obsolete in a few days
    2. ) Is it possible to use SATA optical drives internally? I have a SATA blu ray drive I'd like to take from my PC, if that's possible.
    3. ) Is it possible to get a graphics cards better than the 8800 GT for video games? (For use in OS X)
    4. ) Finally, is there a significant performance difference between Apple's seemingly super expensive RAM and 3rd party RAM? (Other than the heat syncs)
    Thanks for any replies.

    1. We have no idea when Apple will release any product until it's released. This is a user-to-user site so we have no more information about future products than you do.
    2. Yes, it's possible. There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard.
    3. The only graphic cards are those provided by Apple when you order the computer as well as the non-Apple supplied ATI HD-3870 Mac/PC card. The 8800 and 3870 have close performance specs. You can find some benchmarks at Bare Feats.
    4. There's no difference between the RAM Apple installs and what you can purchase on the open market. As long as the RAM meets the required specifications and has the requisite heat sink it will work just fine.

  • I don't have clean ideas about Mac Pro and FCP in RT

    Hi, I hope you can clarify my ideas about editing in RT.
    I will purchase a HDV camera and I'd like to work in RT with FCP and Mac Pro.
    Many people tell me I don't need any additional card and even I don't need RAID. Can you tell me if I can work in RT with FCP, Mac Pro and 4GIGs RAM only?
    thanks

    When I have to export the film from Timeline will I have to do rendering?
    RT editing in FCP, for the most part simply means that there are certain things you can see happen in the timeline without rendering... a certain number of simultaneous streams or tracks, certain transitions/effects/titles etc.
    How much you can do RT is determined by a number of factors... the speed/power of your computer and drives, the video format your cutting... you'll get less cutting HD than you will cutting HDV or DV25. With the type of timeline you're describing you shouldn't have any trouble seeing what you're cutting RT.
    However, regardless of how much you see RT, any effects, transitions etc. have to be rendered in order to output or export. In other words, even with DV footage, unless you've got a straight cut timeline with no titles or effects, you're always looking at at least some render time to get things finished. And as David has said, HDV also requires conforming (the whole timeline, not just effects) which, depending on the length of your show can take some time.

  • Need advice about Mac Pro and Windows networking

    I currently have 2 machines at work: One HP Windows PC (high configuration) and a PowerMac G5 2GHz dual. I'm basically close to purchasing a new Mac Pro to replace both machines but need some advice. I do the majority of design work on the Mac. However I need the Windows PC to also do some design work but mainly use it to connect into the windows network at work. Basically I need to be able to access the network drives (which are set up with Novell Netware, with IPX turned off), Novell GroupWise email system and connect to the internet through the LAN. Can I do this with a Mac Pro, with either Bootcamp or Parallels? Is there any sacrifice in terms of performance in using Bootcamp or Parallels? The end result I want is similar to what I am doing at the moment - at the moment I use a PC to network and the Mac to design, side by side with each other. What I want is to do this from one machine, not two. (I also need the PC side of things as I need to use some software that isn't available on the Mac, eg. bespoke databases that run on PC). Is it easy to network under Bootcamp/Parallels? What pitfalls are there that I need to be aware of?

    When your running Windows via bootcamp, you are essentially Running windows on a PC architecture. You will have all the same capabilities that you have now.
    When you use Parallels to run Windows, you are running Windows as a virtual machine running within the confines of the Mac OS. The advantage is that you can run multiple OS's at the same time, and easily share files and data between them. The disadvantage is that the OS running within Parallels has a slightly performance hit, meaning you are not running as fast as the bootcamp version, but the performance hit is very slight. The only place that Parallels is lacking at the moment is in support of 3D or accelerated graphics. That is Parallels currently cannot make use of a graphics card 3D capabilities or advance GPU options. Parallels has stated their intent is to provide better graphic card support in the near future.
    With all this in mind, I don;t see any reason why you cannot use Parallels for your Windows networking needs, and the Mac for your design needs, all at the same time. You will need of course to ensure you have enough RAM to support both OS's if you intend to run them at the same time.

  • Mac Pro - software problems

    I wonder if there are any others out there who have had problems with Quad-Core Mac Pros and software problems?

    My Macbook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) is fine for both apps., and if I had my time again I'd have bought the same Mac Pro and saved mysel a pile of cash...

    Bud, after upgrading to 10.4.10 I am having similar issues with screen lockups. Magnification on my icons quits working and freezes up and then at time screen freezes occur. Still can't figure what is wrong, I went to re-install 10.4.10 and it won't let me, **** I can't even install 10.4.9.... So some thing is wacked somewhere, I created a new user under user switching and I had similar problems as well. First time with any major issues since I been working with Macs for the last 6 years till now....

  • Any news about Mac Pro 1.1 running ML from Apple?

    Are there any leaks from Apple about "Special KIT to make possible installation of Mountain Lion on Mac Pro 1.1". "What is in the box: New video card supported by ML. Disc with special firmware to upgrade to EFI64"?
    Any hope will be very welcome, because I don't have money for another computer.
    Beltran

         Unfortunately no. I really don't expect Apple to care about cutting off a very large portion of the hard core users.  I also have one of those machines and it still runs circles around almost all of their newer machines, except for Mac Pros.
         The work around that people are using is not perfect and requires you to do everything right and still may not work.  I could build my own hackintosh if I wanted to do work arounds and have a cheaper machine.
         My Mac Pro 1,1 has 10g RAM, 3 1tb HDs, 1 1.5tb HD, and a ATI Radeon 5770 I bought from Apple.  So other then the EFI64 I way more complete the requirements.
         If Apple isn't willing to make and EFI64 they should do a special trade in program to make users more happy and not have to kill someone to get the money for another Mac Pro, which start at over $2500 and that's for a single CPU machine, 2 CPU is $3800.  So much for not being all about money and Eco friendly.

  • Simple question about Mac Pro models

    Hello
    I'm a vary happy Mac Pro owner (MacPro3,1 8 [email protected]). I use it for numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics and Mesoscale Simulations) and it has been and excellent machine, scaling impeccably for parallel computations and solid has a rock (typical uptime of 2 months because I like to make some updates once in a while).
    I confess, I'm not a usual at the Apple Store, and one of this days I went there and I didn't saw hexa cores for sale. Is this correct? After realizing that the machines for sale where Nehalem's I also missed the 3.3GHz cores for 2 quad configuration. Is this also correct?
    My wish:
    Could anyone please help me and describe the present/nearly future in terms of Mac Pro hardware? I need to buy two more machines (preferably two 2X6 core machines) to be operational in mid September.
    Thanks for your time

    You may want to build a PC.
    There was no dual 3.3, and Apple is amiss and behind and upsetting a lot of users with not getting out Gulftown/32nm Nehalem.
    Actually, Intel roadmap for Xeon is best seen on Wikipedia.
    I don't really think 10.6 is well married to current processors with hyper-threading though, maybe they'll catch up to Windows 7 and the help Intel's compilers offer.
    I would also think multiple GTX 480s in SLI would benefit if you can use CUDA.
    The Mac Pro is based on Intel Skulltrail platform of course, yours Skulltrail 2. eVGA is ready with their own SR2: support for dual Xeons, 4 x SLI and 12 DIMMs for 48GB.

  • Question about Mac Pro and Adding GPU's

    I am a recent convert from PC and I had a Dell system that had two Nvidia Cards in it, but I could not use each one to run one monitor because it was SLI and it could only clone my screen and not extend it. So I had to plug both monitors into one card, and I basically paid for one card that I never really used since I wanted two monitors.
    I have two monitors hooked to my new Mac Pro, and my question is if I put in another Nvidia GT120 will each GPU run one monitor, and will they run as one big desktop just they way I have it set up now. Plus is there any benefit to having the dual GPU? I work on documentary videos and I use Adobe Creative Suite a lot. Will having the dual GPU speed up things like After Effects and Premiere. I know snow Leopard will help some, but in the mean time will an extra GPU help any?

    As Hatter said, you can drive 2 monitors from 1 video card on the Mac. SLI/Crossfire doesn't work under OSX, so unless you need to run more than 2 monitors, there's no need to have more than 1 video card...
    And I wouldn't say you got no use out of the 2nd video card in your dell. If you were gaming at all, you were probably getting better performance using the SLI than you would have gotten with just 1 card.
    So, yes, under OSX, you can drive 2 monitors with the 1 card and it will let you either clone the desktop on to both displays (both show the same thing) OR stretch the display so the desktop stretches across both displays...
    I'll be doing this with my mac pro to drive 3 monitors (using a 2nd video card)... Which should give me a HUGE desktop (I can't describe how much nicer it is to have tons of desktop space when programming or doing video editing...)

  • Anyone remember the marketing hype about Mac Pro 1st Gen being first full 64-bit?

  • Pre sales question about Mac Pro

    Yes, I know I should ask this to Apple's sales department, but I'd rather ask users of this computer first.
    I am aware that all MP come with the Intel Xeon 64-bit chip, but what I need to know is, does that mean I could run the 64-bit version of Windows Vista then too?
    Also, any 'hidden problems' with this computer, such as graphic card lockups (like in the iMac) or any other problems that I should be aware of?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    The 64-bit version of Vista requires the drivers to be authorized and approved by Microsoft before Vista will allow you to install them. If the drivers you are trying to install have not been OK'd by Microsoft (and are on their trusted list), you can not install them. Vista will point blank refuse.
    I tried a Vista 64-bit install (not on my Macs). The motherboard & graphics card came with 64-bit drivers etc so all worked fine, until I wanted my peripherals to install, some manufacturers did have 64-bit drivers, the majority however didn't, so reformat and back to 32-bit Vista on that machine. That is why it is the 32-bit OEM version of Vista that is pre-installed on computers out there than the 64-bit version. (Only the Ultimate* version of Vista comes pre-packaged with both the 32 & 64-bit discs you need, all other versions are 32-bit with a link to a web site address to order the 64-bit disc from Microsoft for the cost of postage).
    * I think that in itself says everything, when most people will be buying a non Ultimate version.
    Now that I have installed Leopard on a stand alone machine I have a side by side comparison between both OS's and Leopard wins, hands down. Vista looks so, well. . . antiquated by comparison.
    As for Mac Pro's, I have the nVidia Quadro FX 4500 in my Mac Pro and it runs beautifully. Combine that with Leopard and I am one happy bunny :o) boing boing

    I wish apple posted what the update is doing on these things instead of just saying its recommended. Its not like I need to know what line # is being updated within a given module, but rather that's fixing this issue, or that issue.
