When will I have thunderbolt for Mac Pro?

I have Quad MacBook w/ Thunderbolt, But When will they release a Mac Pro with Thunderbolt? Anyone have any idea or heard any rumors?
Thanks Bobby

Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about Thunderbolt at this point. Yes, it has amazing potential, but there's hardly any devices that use it. Even USB 3.0 isn't really taking off. Let the people who just purchased the hardware for it be the guinea pigs. A lot may depend if the Windows market invests in the tech. It's going to be much more difficult to sell an external HD that only connects to macs.
For now, USB 2.0 works fine (Firewire if doing video editing) and even my internal Blu-ray burner works using a SATA cable. The transfer rate for both is quite acceptible for me.
I DO wonder if a plug-in card would be possible. I'm not tech savy, so not sure if the PCI Express slots supports that speed.

    From what I found about the LG 800g, it is not even a Android phone.

  • Thunderbolt for Mac Pro?

    Any news for thunderbolt in Mac Pro?

    Anxious is what all the people asking over the last year and thinking it was needed
    Your Mac Pro has more bandwidth than TB supplies
    And you can learn about Thunderbolt from Apple, Intel and Wikipedia
    Intel will this fall offer motherboards (PC segment) - Apple had Thuderbolt locked in for a year.
    TB interface connections cost a lot more than some realized and are hoping that will go down.
    A search of forum from Google would turn up a lot of threads and reasons why it makes sense on laptops but not much for us. And it is still too new and buggy even.

  • When will Nokia relase NSU for MAC?

    Anyone any idea when this will happen. I'm sure there are enough Mac users out there to warrant a release of PC Suite and NSU for Mac.
    At the moment, I have to reply upon software updates only being possible through a Windoze machine.
    cheers.

    Typical how? You wrote that you have just started using this discussion board. Fine, but there are those of us that have been here for years asking the same questions you have asked. We are equally as frustrated but also know that the search feature of this board can be your best friend. You did not trouble me but I am simply informing you of facts as they are. Sorry if you do not like them, or they were not said in a way to make you feel happy but the truth still remains. Nokia cares very little for the Mac community. It is as simple as that. The Mac version of the NSU has been promised for years, Years, YEars, YEArs, YEARs, YEARS..... You get my point, and still no resolution or hope on the horizon. The only option is to either stay with Nokia and continue to be disappointed, or move to another brand, or to have a Windows PC somewhere near by. The other option is FOTA but sometimes Nokia does not release this as well.

  • When will Firefox have support for the new MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a 2880x1800 resolution and is not going to work well with the current version of Firefox. I am running Firefox 14 Beta; is there any news on when you will update Firefox to be compatible with new display?

  • When will Creative have drivers for Win 7 64 bit

    I just bought a X-fi notebook express-card, and I'm not very impressed with this card, I'm running Win 7 64 bit, so the Drivers CD was a wash, also, I have no way to control any of the functions, like Conrtol-panel, EQ and console, they don't work and are non-fucntional in Win 7 64 bit, and that Beta-driver that's offered on the download page is worthless it also has NO fuctionality, so Creative? Win 7 64 bit has been out for a yr. and a half now, WHEN are you gonna get some decent updated drivers for the X-fi notebook card, when i installed what you did have, I just wanted to CRY, such a shame, and this is a nice xpress-card, but, ya know don't you think it's kinda WORTHLESS without the Win 7 64 bit support.....: I mean come on creative, how can you sell something like this, WITHOUT any supported drivers, most PCs and laptops now run on Win 7 64 bit, haven't you even noticed this yet.......you should be ashamed of yourselves..........

    Don't buy this Echo Indigo IOx ExpressCard for Notebook Computers if you are using Windows 7 64 bit I'm returning this card and I just got it today, my X-fi notebook express card sounds louder than this thing, and has "what U Hear" the Echo IOx card does not have the "What U Hear" in any of thier cards, so, I'm back with the Creative X-fi notebook, I got it to work by NOT using the windows driver dated 12/13/2009 this windows driver is broken, and will cause your X-fi notebook card not to work well ,so DON'T use that driver, I'm using this one Microsoft dated 7/13/2009, 61.7600.16385 , EQ fuction in the control-console is still broken in win 7 64 bit and I'm looking foward along with the Creative team for better driver support for Windows 7 64 bit, as I'm sure they are in-the-works, so, I'M BACK, and my X-fi notebook sounds Great , I'm glad I got my X-fi notebbok express card to work, somewhat, it's not the perfect fix, but it's doable at least for now

  • When will Aperture have support for RAF files from the new Fuji XPro-1?

    How long does it normally take to get the RAW file format updated? Fuji say they sent the file details to Apple many weeks ago. This is a camera being given fantastic reviews in all professional magazines worldwide - but I'm stuck with an Aperture folder full of "unsupported image format" files.
    Really annoying as I use the full suite of Nik plug-ins so I can't do anything with these files until Aperture is updated.

    Per an interview with a spokeswoman from Fuji, they have indeed provided Apple (and Adobe as well) all the needed technical information in order to support the RAW files (i.e. algorithmic information created by Fuji for the non-standar filter array, etc etc). Please don't spread any more misinformation about it, it's already been flamed to death on all the online camera forums. You can still choose to 'blame' whomever you wish about why it's still not supported by Apple, but you can no longer reasonably assert that Fuji hasn't done their part by providing them what they need. Nondisclosure agreements were signed as well.
    Having said that, I find it ridiculous at this point that it's not supported, for several reasons, some being the seemingly similar Fuji users who also use Aperture as well as the opportunity here for Apple to take some market from Adobe (who as of yet are not producing very great output files for Fuji X-trans). Apple was/has been at a disadvantage to Adobe for a long while now, and being an outsider, I presumed Apple would want to take advantage of this (and any similar) opportunity to grab some share from Adobe. I was well wrong, and it seems that other lesser-known-used companies are now doing just that.
    Well good on them. I for one will be looking at any/all (new)comers and will certainly be going with the best of those. Sorry Apple, you lost another one. There was a real competition, for me, btwn Aperture and LR4 up till this point. You'd have to pull a rabbit out of your hat to keep my Aperture biz.

  • When will you optimize Firefox for Mac OSX Lion?

    Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

    No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

  • When will we have ringtones for texts/voicemail?

    Seriously, this is totes redonk! My old Motorola Razor had this capability and that was like 8 years ago. For being the cellphone of "the future" it sure seems awfully behind in terms of technology! Just last month we barely got the ability to send pics/video in texts even though other phones/carriers allowed that for the last decade, ugh.

    Amazing that you had a Razr 3 years before they were even available. I also don't recall MMS/SMS being available in 1999 either.
    If these features are important to you then the iPhone is not the phone for you.

    It's that last sentence I'm curious about.  "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard.  I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
    Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
    Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
    My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.

    I have a blackmagic intensity extreme, which has thunderbolt port. But I am unable to use it with Mac Pro as there is no thunderbolt port on it. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    HP is now offering a Thunderbolt option for thier Z820 workstation model.
    Actually, no. That computer was designed for thunderbolt from the start. It is a feature enabler card, not an expansion card.
    I hope this will change soon, but not soon enough to hold my breath.
    There will never be a thunderbolt card for Mac Pros.
    Two reasons:
    1- Even the 2012 Mac pro used 2 year old hardware, that means even the very last Mac Pro Apple sold last month used 3 year old technology. Its not economical to make new hardware for old technology in a very small market.
    2- Thunderbolt communicates directly with the CPU, GPU and PCIe hardware. That means they have to be designed to communicate with the thunderbolt controller. Since thunderbolt was introduced in 2011, a full year after the last Mac Pro (5,1) was designed, its hardware has no possible way to communicate with it.
    Thunderbolt is not  "an extension of the PCIe bus" like eSATA is an extension of SATA, its an entirely different communication protocol.
    If it were just an extension, it would be far cheaper and easier to implement and there would be more than just a handful of products on the market that support it. Right now thunderbolt is making Firewire look like a runaway success!

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
