Installing ssd 512 GB on my new Mac Pro Westmere 6 cores

I bought a Mac Pro with a 2 TB HD. Now i am buying a SSD 512 GB. Can someone tell me how to transfer my OSX 6.4 system and all my application. I would like to boot from that SSD i run my application from that SSD, so it would be faster. And i would leave the HD to store photos, films, etc. My precise question how to do this... I read the Mac Pro guide, but nothing is expliained.
Thank you in advance!
JP

Hi-
You could clone the existing drive to the new one using SuperDuper!.

You could also install OS X on the SSD and then use Migration Assistant to transfer the applications over.

It appears to me that you would need a boot device with 10.5.6 already installed, and to NOT be running any Westmere features (such as 6-core processors) to have any hope. Also, drivers for 5770 and 5870 first appeared in 10.6.5, so getting your displays to work may be tough.
Custom 10.6.4 or "Full Retail" 10.6.5 is much more likley to succeed.

Re installing Final Cut Studio on my NEW Mac pro?

I originally purchased Final Cut Studio (on a G5 Power PC), Then installed the universal crossgrade,
then installed Final Cut Studio 2. Now I have a New Mac Pro (Intel Chips) How do I go about
reinstalling FCS? do I need the original serial key from the first version or do I just use my
FCS 2 serial Key?
J>H<L

J>H<L
You'll need both keys, but you only have to do one installation.
The FCS2 installer will ask for the FCS2 key. If that passes, another window will open asking for the FCS key. If that key passes, then it's just a normal installation.

Trying to install an Adobe Application on my New Mac Pro????

I just purchased a new Mac Pro. I got it mainly because I want to be able to use programs like After Effects CS3 at fast speeds. I have like 5 gigs in my computer right now so I'm excited to get started. Only thing is......my version of After Effects CS3 was acting weird so I decided to Re-install it. I threw the unwanted After Effects Install in the Program "App Zapper" which supposedly erases everything associated with the program......essentially you're supposed to be able to zap yourself CLEAN of the program.
When I tried to reinstall the computer told me that I can't install because it thinks its still there?? aAre there remnants of the program to remove so the installer doesn't think its on there??? Where are they??? I tried to find anything named After Effects CS3....I can't find anything??? Any Advice

Hi Keith Middlemiss;
I had a very similar thing happen to me with the PS CS3 beta. I removed it and attempted to install the real version when it came out only to be given an error message about it still being on my system. Finally I went to the Adobe forum and discovered that there was an uninstall script there. Once I ran that then CS3 installed without any problems.
I was looking around on my system for tracks of this script but I was not able to find any.
My suggestion would be to go to the Adobe forum and check around for uninstall scripts. While I do like the Adobe applications, I hate the way they way they stick stuff everywhere in your system.

Cannot install Final Cut Studio 7 on new Mac Pro

I've just purchased Final Cut Studio 7 (Academic edition) for my Mac Pro (brand new G4 running 10.6.2), and it refuses to install. When I start the download package I get an Alert:
"Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
and just quits. I looked on the specs online (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/) and it states that I need
"ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)"
I have 2 NVIDIA graphics cards, both GeForce GT 120. Are these not Quartz Extreme capable video cards?

First of all you don't have a G4. A G4 is an obsolete computer that doesn't run Final Cut Studio.

Install 'SATA cable connect' Velociraptors in new Mac Pro????

hi everyone,
I need some help please. A specific question regarding Western Digital Velociraptor hard drives:
I have three of the 300GB 'SATA cable connect' model Velociraptors. I installed them into my PowerMac G5 2x2.7ghz computer without difficulty but I want to move them. I want to install them into my soon-to-be-in-hand Mac Pro (2x2.93 quad-core Nehalem).
Can I do this or do I have to buy 'backplane ready' versions of the Velociraptors?
This is the address to WD's page on the ones I want to install...
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
(sorry it's not hot. I've a strange 'cut and paste' malfunction happening today...)
Your help's appreciated.
thanks,
JQ

There is an adapter so it will line up inside.
Some have put one or two in the lower optical drive bay in the past.
Ideal is black-plane ready which came out slightly later.

How to install OS X Tiger on new Mac Pro

Does anyone why you can´t install OS X Tiger on the new Mac Pro? I bought it recently and it came with Leopard of course but I really need to run Tiger because of many of my plug-ins for Protools costs a fourtune to upgrade...
Is it possible to do it? Workaround anybody..?

Is the hardware in the mac pro all that different than to the one shipped with Tiger???
I don't know all the differences, but iirc, the Graphics card is a big diff.
I have Tiger discs for a mac mini shipped just before 2008, would that work you think?
Can only guess, but no, I don't think it would, all Tiger disks for IntelMacs are Machine specific.
Sorry, can't help with the links, I've just read about attempts & the difficulties.

Cannot install Final Cut Studio on new Mac Pro

When I go to install Final Cut Studio on my new Mac Pro, it tells me that "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
I have the ATI 5870 and, just a wild guess here, I'm betting it does support Quartz Extreme.
A software update doesn't help me here because I cannot get the software installed the first place to be able to update it. What should I do?

FCS 1...Final Cut Pro 5.0? Won't work on an Intel. PowerPC only. You need at least 5.1...which wasn't a free upgrade, so updating won't work. You need FCP 5.1, FCP 6 or the most recent FCP 7. Those are the only versions that will work on the newer macs.

Fitting new DVD Drive in Mac Pro (Intel 4 Core)

Hi All
Was wanting to add a second DVD writer to my Mac Pro, namely the Pioneer DVR-115D. I assume some modifications are required to get the DVD to pass the tray through the smaller eject slots in the Pro case.
Is there a guide etc anywhere as to what needs to be done?
TIA
Si

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just installed a second drive in my new Mac Pro 2.8 X2. I could not get the bottom drive to come out at all with the eject button. Then I came here where I should have come in the first place and low and behold there is the answer. The "OPTION" key. Sometimes it is the simplist things that can drive you mad. Thanks Malcolm.

New Mac Pro and 9.2 Hangs on Adjustments?? Old G5 Doesn't

Hello
I have what should be a very fast new Mac Pro. 6 core at 3.46Ghz. 48Gb of RAM. Solid state boot drive. Software RAID 0 with 2 Hitachi 3TB drives, hardly anything on them yet. Nvidea Quadro 4000 CUDA card. Everything installed and burned in for the overnight 8 hour test with the MPG workstation program at OWC. Lion 10.7.2.
I had approximately 700 in camera photos combined still in camera between an up-to-16MP Sony NEX 5N camera and up-to-24MP pics on a Sony A77, that have already been loaded into my 6-7 year old 2.4Ghz dual core G5 with 6.5Gb RAM and much older version of iPhoto. OS 10.4.7 I believe.
Last night I loaded all those same pictures into the new machine and 9.2 version iPhoto. And then deleted them from the cards on both cameras. No issues. Smoking fast imports compared to the G5 which wasn't all that bad.
On the G5 with the picture adjust controls I could use the slider to go deeply into those same photos and see the effects of contrast, sharpness and all the other options. Like butter. Make the adjustments while in that deep if desired and then pull back to evaluate the overall picture before saving. Or back in again if desired. No issues.
With the new rig I couldn't wait to try all of this, but once I go deep inside and start to move the adjustment slider controls the system every time starts getting hung with the spinning wheel. Have to wait and wait for them to catch up to the curser on that adjustment. Most of the time the system then will just get stuck and I have to force iPhoto to quit.
Please....does anyone know why all this latest powerfull hardware and software is doing that, compared to the old, much less capable G5? I am really concerned now. Haven't had a chance to get Photoshop and the other production premium software tested yet.
And one last question please. Does anyone know if the "Enhance" feature in the Quick Fixes section adjusts Gamma as well? There seems to be a lot more going on to give the photos depth (what I always really try to do) than the sum of the small slider movements in the Adjust section. With my old system and iPhoto version there was no "Gamma" adjust slider in iPhoto proper......but if I saved a photo first to my Desktop for instance, and then called up the adjustment features, there was a Gamma slider there. Very handy and appreciated.
I see similar vast improvements on some photos now with the "Enhance" feature that looks like maybe Gamma has been optimized as well? There now is no Gamma slider available even if the photo is taken to the desktop first.
Thanks much
Ron

Hello Terence
Thanks for the tip to try. Couldn't get to it until late last night. Seems to still be the same in Library 2.
Also seems to be worse with 27" Cinema Display at full resolution. And with several sliders on adjustment. If I drop the resolution to 1920 x 1080 or 1600 x 900 and move smoothly about it is not as apt to hang up. With as much horsepower as the new Mac Pro has, should resolution of monitor be an issue in these adjustments deep into the pictures?
How about the Enhance button? Is gamma involved? Everything I read about it on searches only talks about boosting saturation of the color and fine tuning with little other slider adjustments. But on a picture where it has made a big difference to the good with depth and overall look, if I look at where the sliders were adjusted and then undo the enhance, and go back and manually put the sliders in the same position it doesn't look the same.
Does anyone know if gamma is being adjusted with this button? Sure seems like it but can't find it mentioned anywhere.
Thanks again!

New mac pro upgrade advice needed or keep the old clunker

I have a 2008 mac pro with only 8gb ram
I am use the computer for FCP and Logic as well
as photo editing. It is not my livelihood I am just a serious hobbiest.
My option is to go with a new Mac Pro probably 8 core with 1 TB
I would have to get an enclosure for my 4 thunderbolt internal drives.
I also have 2 firewire 800 2T external drives.
My monitor is a 30 inch cinema display
so an 8 core with 64gb plus 4k monitor and upped graphics card is $11,600 add my buisness discount i am probably
looking at around $11,000
My other option is to keep the clunker add a 1TB SSD PCIe card form owc and add 8gb ram this will
cost me $1,400. I am really only throwing away the $200 for increasing the ram as
the PCIe ssd drive can be salveged and used in the new mac pro if I bought an pcie/ thunderbolt enclosure.
Tha advantage of going this route is I could use the clunker for another year allowing time
for the kinks in the new mac pro to be ironed out as well as the advantage of faster chips in next years model.
The other issue I have is a use a Universal Audio PCI card with 4 sharc processors to run specific plugins that need that
card in logic. That card will no be compatible with the new Mac pro and the replacement cards are over $1000 that are compatibe
Just looking for some advice do you think the SSD PCI card and ram will keep me happy with the performance to hold off upgrading for
a year or shoul I just put the clumker out of its misery?

On this page Apple compares the 2012 Mac Pro (12-core) to a 2013 Mac Pro (12-core). The new Mac Pro performs about 3x faster at rendering. You didn't say how many cores your Mac Pro has but you could expect about a 4-5x faster performance increase.
I would have some questions for you:
How much time do you spend waiting on your current Mac Pro?
How much money are you willing to spend for a 4-5x increase?
I have a 2010 Mac Pro with a 960 GB OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCIe SSD, program launches and computer restarts are much faster. Compressing video takes the same amount of time as it did when I booted from a hard drive. I can't read or type email any faster, iTunes plays music just as fast as it always has with a hard drive.
I would use Activity Monitor to monitor your computer's memory use while you work with FCP and Logic to see if you are maxing out your memory then adding more may be the way to go.
I use my Mac Pro for recording over-the-air TV and compressing that video into an Apple TV usable format. I've found that having a dedicated drive for capture works well. Also, when I compress the video my capture drive becomes a dedicated source drive for Compressor and I write the output file to a separate dedicated drive. This ensures I maximize data flow and keep all my cores nearly fully utilized. I tend to do the processor intensive tasks (compressing video which can take hours) at the end of the day when I know I won't be using the computer (or only doing light work on it such as email or web surfing).

New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

Hi,
Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
Thanks for any info...

Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
Thanks again,
Jacki

RAM PREVIEW VERY SLOW (FAR FROM REAL TIME) ON NEW MAC PRO

Good afternoon
I have the new mac pro with 8 cores, 64 Gb of Ram and dual AMD 700 graphic card, but the preview on After effects is slower than in the old mac pro (from 2010). I have set the preferences as told in your website and everything stills the same. Could you please advice? is very frustrating to see that a new machine works worse than the older one.
thanks
