Will the New MaPro running Maveriks do a select boot from an external HD of older OSX versions?

Hi...
I was wondering if the new MacPro will do an Option selective boot of an external HD bootable backup made using SuperDuper?  The drive would be a FW800 external connected via adaptor as the nMP has nonly TB and USB 3 ports.

As shipped, the new MacPro late 2103 will boot ONLY from the software it shipped with, or a re-load of the software it shipped with. Nothing older.
You may be able to install and fiddle with Virtualization software to get an older version to run under a Hypervisor, but it will be some work.

  • Will the new iMac run Motion 3?

    I can't really afford to go to the Mac Pro. I am looking at the new iMac (24 inch, 2.8 processor model), and wondering if it will run Motion 3? I know it won't be ideal, but still I hope that it will suffice for a high-end amateur user.
    I currently run Motion 2 on a Macbook, which is obviously not ideal, but at least somewhat works.

    No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

  • Will the new iMac run MSOffice 2004?

    I have been running MS Office 2004 for Mac on my Macs since, oh, around 2004.  I'm completely happy with it.  I don't need any new features.  I know it inside and out and I don't want to learn a new version.
    Will a brand new iMac run my Office 2004 software?  Or will this software be obsolete on a new machine?

    No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

  • Will the new Macbook run WoW on full settings?

    Will it run it perfectly, or will it be too frustrating on full settings?
    I don't see any point of getting a Macbook Pro (base model) right now just for the graphics card...
    Thanks.

    These forums are great, a lot better then asking GameFAQS...
    (Although due to the time differences i get answers a bit quicker there, but the quality is what is important and is worth waiting a little bit longer for!)
    The replies i got there consisted of "64mb shared?!? it won't even load on normal settings" "Buy a new computer, mac is trash."
    Thank you for your replies.
    btw, My main is Flashleet on Barthilias if by chance any of you guys play on my server :P

  • Can I be the first to ask Will the new iPhone run Aperture?

    And will Aperture support RAW files from this new camera phone?
    C'mon!! WHY NOT!!!
    Sorry, could not resist

    I came to the forum tonight, specifically looking for someone to ask this question; it was inevitable. LOL.
    For more realistic issues:
    I hope the iPhone will sync with specified Aperture albums, not just iPhoto albums.
    And I wonder if someone will make an iPod adaptor (which is what the iPhone seems to use) to display 1024x768 images so you can use iPhone's photo app to display slideshows on a video projector. Or maybe I should just continue using my MacBook Pro.

  • Will the late 2013 Mac Pro boot from an external drive (4Tb, USB 3) with a cloned Win7 x64 partition on it?

    Hello all,
    I ordered a CTO Mac Pro for heavy rendering and animating work, and I am planning on using bootcamp to install a windows partition (for 3DsMax). As I am now using a HP Elitebook 8770W that has several valuable files and projects on it, I have bought a Seagate 4Tb external Desktop Drive that uses USB 3.0 to use as a backup drive. Now, as I saw that Bootcamp Assistant only supports installing a x64 version of Windows 8, my question is:
    Will a late 2013 Mac Pro using bootcamp assistant boot from an external USB drive with a cloned partition running x64 win7? Or do I really have to buy Windows 8 and install that to my internal SSD, and then use the migration assistant to copy over my projects?
    Thanks!

    Posted? or found in new builds?
    BCA should really just pull whatever the latest drivers are when run. 
    If it is with how it partitions and sets up nMP and its partition for Windows that is another matter and makes sense.
    Some people want UEFI native booting in Windows, and my experieince with that on PCs has been that it boots faster and runs well, but has different partitions that it wants. For one thing, there is now a backup "system reserved" partition, just as Apple GUID has some volume information blocks and backup and areas that were once optional (and if format erase was not able to, it would not create one) are now mandatory.
    Windows 8.1 is req'd, reason a backup should be a big must - is it might overwrite and use another OS's  partition table entries.  Especially when doing UEFI install.
    There was something about which linux OS was safe and how they would each add entries in the table, but one would not place nice.  That one had to be done first or not at all.

  • Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
    That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
    Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
    You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
    It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
    \\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
    The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
    A good name for the TC is TC
    The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
    A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
    Then you can mount it \\TC
    typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
    There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
    Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
    Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
    \\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
    If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

  • Will microsoft office for mac 2004 transfer from my emac running 10.4.11 to the new iMac running mountain lion using migration assistant?

    will microsoft office for mac 2004 transfer from my emac running 10.4.11 to the new iMac running mountain lion using migration assistant?

    Microsoft Office 2004 will not work on any Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to upgrade to Office 2011, buy the less expensive iWork apps from the App Store or use a free office clone like OpenOffice or NeoOffice.

  • Will the new MBP's run Leopard (10.5)?

    I was trying to boot my i5 MacBook Pro with an external HD that has Leopard. I was able to select that HD for start-up. However, after the chime, it gets stuck at the apple logo and the computer gets very hot.
    I'm thinking that the new MBP's don't like Leopard.

    Will the new MBP's run Leopard (10.5)?
    No.

  • HT5568 Will the new update uninstall any Java applications I am currently running?

    Will the new update uninstall any Java applications I am currently running?

    Safari?  Removing your existing Java applications?  No.  That won't happen.
    What will happen is the Java run-time and the Java plug-ins that were part of Safari.  You will be using the Oracle web site, and you'll be downloading and configuring and operating and managing the Java environment and the Java plug-ins for Safari and other browsers more directly, and usually with downloads from Oracle.
    Apple deprecated Java a while back, and they're now finishing the work and the transition of support over to the folks at Oracle, and of securing OS X from attacks against stale versions of Java.

  • Will the new mac mini run FCP X well?

    I currently use a mid 2009 17 inch Unibody MacBook Pro (3.06 Ghz intel core 2 duo, 8GB Ram, and upgraded 1TB SSD hardrive) and have experienced some lag when rendering projects while editing in FCP X.  The SSD harddrive upgrade has proved increase of overall performance tremendously.  However, I want more power.
    My question is:  Will the new high end mac mini, which was just announced

    You'll get less problems if you move your Events and Projects off of the system drive and on to a secondary drive, to start with.  Get a FW800 drive (I've been happy with on-the-go drives from Other World Computing for years), move all Events and Proejcts to it.
    Mac Mini?  Only if you get it with 16GB RAM and the Fussion Drive (which no one has really tested for video editing yet, so I'd be cautious.  Better would be the SSD drive internally and a T'bolt drive for your Events and Projects.
    But, I've not seen an reliable, verifiable reports about how it holds up to real world editing.  I personally won't touch anything until I see real world benchmarks for video editing specifically.

    IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
    I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7  iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
              Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • Will the new 3GHz iMac (24") with GeForce 8800 be good for Aperture v2?

    hi all.
    I've just seen the specs on the new iMac and I'm interested. I was resigned to buying a Mac Pro but found it difficult to justify the cost because I'm not a professional photographer. the new iMac might be good enough at a much more justifiable cost.
    I wonder if anyone has information or opinions regarding the following.
    Will the glossy screen be a nuisance? There is stray light in our living room where I use my computer although we do have venetian blinds on both windows. (don't bother suggesting using the computer in another room. this is Hong Kong where space is scarce and expensive.)
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations? (Aperture was not included in Apple's test comparisons)
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400? on my iMac, transfers to/from my external SATA disks run at only a dismal 13MB/s rather than the ideal 40MB/s. is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    your input and information would be appreciated (and it's probably going to be a common question).
    sincerely,
    Gregory

    My expectation (every workspace is different as are individual perceptions) is that the reflective issues of the iMac's glossy screen would be very tolerable. What many (not all) graphics pros including me find intolerable is the fact that glossy displays add contrast and saturation to images. However many, perhaps most, non-graphics-pros prefer the added contrast and saturation, which is why Apple uses those displays. Each individual must do his/her own side-by-side comparisons and determine personal preference.
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations?
    Yes.
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    I believe yes, but that is just a guess since I do not know the card well. Certainly picking an iMac for Aperture usage I would choose the top 24" with the 8800 GS card
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400?
    Yes.
    ...for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    Yes. Best IMO will be to have the AP Library on the internal drive but with Referenced Masters on external FW800 drives. The top iMac allows up to 1 TB internal drive size. Since drives slow as they fill, order a large drive and keep it less than half full to optimize operation.
    ...is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    Pretty much everything impacts AP performance, so the more things you optimize the better. The maximum 4 GB RAM of iMacs, although quite workable, will always be limiting. Good policy is to restart or at least close as many irrelevant applications as necessary prior to an extended Aperture work session.
    Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273934&tstart=75>
    If you ever do run into performance issues, work to dial in on each of the performance tweaks he discusses.
    As an aside, I too like the MBP (ideally 17" matte screen) as preferable to the iMac because of the portability. Unfortunately cost may make that an unacceptable choice, but I cannot overstate the huge benefits of portability.
    Good luck!

  • Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

    I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?
