I can't get to recovery on mac pro 2008
I'm trying to clone my info from my main Mac Pro HD to a new SSD drive but I can't get to recovery mode and Drive Genus won't let me select the main drive as a source. So: how do I get to "recovery mode" with a non mac GPU or is there any other way to do this???? I have a 760 gpu.
THANKS!!!!
Clone your system, keep two such, one as WORKING backup you can boot from and use if needed, a 2nd would be best if it were a small clean Apple only plus essential drivers and utility programs for emergency maintenance and such tasks but nothing else.
The system only really takes about 30GB if that, a small emergency system then could be 20GB if you want and easy to find space.
But, you need 10.6.8+ to get Apple security updat es and such, and to get access to the AppStore, support for iTunes and more.

How can I get music from old mac to new mac?
How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
It did not bring the music over. Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
Open iTunes on your old Mac. Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu. Sign in. Do the same on your new computer. Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
That's what Apple says, anyway. -

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.
burnttimber,
I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).

Where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install?
I am trying to install Maya 6 on my mac and I get the error that my computer is too new... where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install? I have an old powerPC that I could put this on instead of my newer computer. My company does not have to resources to upgrade the copy of Maya at the moment, so this is my best option.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521 http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD. It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5
Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5
Are you wanting to upgrade TO 10.8.5 or FROM 10.8.5? If you have 10.8.5 on your Mac you can do the free upgrade to Yosemite which is 10.10.1 as long as your computer supports that version of OS X.
Start at this Apple site to determine if your MAC will run 10.10.1

Where can i get a copy of MAC OS X 10.3
where can i get a copy of MAC OS X 10.3 I am refurbishing my Power PC Imac and have misplaced my old disc's..Thanks
eBay. You should get a "retail" copy (which came on three CDs not one DVD), black with a big silver X. Don't get a copy that came with a particular Mac model (grey color), unless it happens to be the disc that came with your particular Mac model.
You may want to consider getting Tiger (10.4) instead, if your Mac supports it. Tiger provides better software compatibility with more recent applications, compared to Panther.
If your Mac is a G4 or G5, 867 Mhz or faster, with at least 512mb of RAM, Leopard (10.5) is also supported.
NOTE: Leopard does not have "Classic" mode for running Mac OS 9 apps. Tiger (and earlier) does. -
Where can I get a version of Mac OS X 10.5? My mac is currently using 10.4.11.
Your best bet is to call Apple and order it, you can find the phone number in the online store in your country. However if your machine is able to run 10.6 I would recommend upgrading to that. Because Snow Leopard is current you can buy it from anyone that sells Apple products such as Apple, Amazon etc. Leopard (10.5) is more difficult to locate though. You can get the phone number by logging into Apple's online store and you will see the number in the upper left of the screen. If you decide to get Snow Leopard instead you can also buy it from the online store, it's $29.00

It doesn't exist. You have never been able to run Flash Player on an iPad. Apple doesn't allow it and Adobe is denigrating it for mobile devices.

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, 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). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Another solution is the Air Parrot. -

What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability with this. I am running Lion and Trying to find which is better as I know from experience not all cards are created equal. Thanks in advance for your help!

High Point RocketU Quad USB 3.0 for Mac is working great for me. Had an issue with CD/DVD Drive which was resolved with most current driver downloaded from the support site.
Running Moutain Lion on Early 2009, mirroring two Seagate Go Flex 2TB USB 3.0 Drives. Installed in Slot 4.
Using it primarily with VMWare Fusion for Virtual Drives. Windows, Unbuntu and other OS running really well.
HPT Support was responsive and very helpfull using the WEB Portal under the product page.
I have some comments and a suggestion:
Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
Good luck.
