1tb HD for MacPro 1.1 - Suggestions

Anyone like to inform on the best/cheapest hasrd drive of 1tb capacity for the MacPro 1.1 model . . . ?   T.I.A.

Western Digital isn't that bad.  What's bad is using hard drive manufacturer software.  They can make hardware, but their software leaves much to be desired.    The problem is now that all hard drive companies have bought companies that make somewhat marginal drives.  Seagate and Western Digital's original drives are great.  It is the Maxtor and IBM deskstars that could have been better, and same with the Toshiba drives.  If you can get a hard drive with at least a 3 year warranty you are better.
Amazon sells hard drives, and I would trust Amazon over anything on eBay as long as it is new.

  • Hello Mac Friend, do you have any idea the compatible of 1333Mhz 16GB ecc module for MacPro late 2012 ?

    Hello Mac Friend, do you have any idea the compatible of 1333Mhz 16GB ecc module for MacPro late 2012 ?

    You can spend months developing the expertise to choose exactly the right modules for a one-off purchase of RAM for your Mac.
    Or you can deal with a Mac-centric Vendor who already knows this information and will provide the correct modules for your exact model Mac, and stand behind them, for about the same price. Deal with Vendors who say:
    "It works in your Mac,
    or your money BACK."
    In the US, OWC (at MacSales.com) provides good support
    Many readers recommend crucial, I personally do not.
    I do most of my business with DataMemorySystems.com, as they tell you exactly what they are sending and have slightly better prices than OWC.
    If you are in another part of the world, please respond with what markets are available to you and readers can make additional recommendations.
    EDIT: 16GB DIMMs for this Mac are Registered DIMMs, and are subject to special rules:
    They do not mix with other sizes AT ALL.
    At most 3 modules of this size can be installed on each SIDE (6 total on the 8-core and 12 core)

  • I have a large library that I ripped in AIFF using iTunes.  I converted to Mp3 to save drive space, keeping the originals. I have a new computer and want to revert to my original files. iTunes sees the library but is looking for Mp3 files.  Suggestions?

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I need a reliable office suite.   Open Office is not working well for me.  Any suggestions?

    I need a good reliable office suite.  Open Office is not working well for me.  Any suggestions?

    If you mean Open Office is not always able to correctly open documents received from clients created with MS Office, then the only real solution is to purchase Office 2011 for Mac. As good as some of the free alternatives are, they can't duplicate every feature of MS Office.

    We were on our computer and it just shut off for no reason. any suggestions?

    You haven't provided any valuable data, it could have been a power problem where the computer is plugged in. Personally I use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) when I plug in my computer for just that reason.
    BTW when posting please complete your profile so we know what kind of iMac you have and the version of OS X. Also what were you doing when the computer shut down.

  • ATI Radeon X1900 XT only for MacPro?

    I Just noticed this this morning at Apple's Online Store ( US )
    "ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics Upgrade Kit US$ 399.00"
    I wonder if this will work in the G5 with Dual Cores ( and Quad ) PCIe ?

    Ok thanks Jewell, What a Bugger eh?
    X800XT for PCI-X G5's and ATI Radeon X1900 XT for MacPro's and nothing for the PCI-E last generation G5's! (unless you BTO).
    I have seen your posts here about the lack of video card upgrades for the Quad, and I feel for you ... it's got to be exasperating !!
    It will not unfortunately. Its to do with the way
    video cards are recognised by the host system and the
    x1900 is for MacPro only.
    However.
    Joe Schorr has confirmed in these forums that ATI
    will be releasing a dual-core G5 edition of the x1900
    (?) card which would finally make this Apple's first
    video upgrade card since the dual-core G5 (quads)
    were launched in October 05. Way to go Apple...
    I read your repost of it.

  • ATI Radeon X1900 XT driver for MacPro

    I put an ATI Radeon X1900 XT for MacPro in my 2 x 3 GHz MacPro. It displays only 1280 x 800 on my 30" Cinema. Do I need to install a driver, and if so, where to get the driver since card did not come with CD and AMD site has not posted a driver?
    2 x 3 GHz MacPro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    zspike --
    You don't need drivers -- they're built in to the OS. However, it would be nice to use the ATi displays panel, so you can turn on various app-specific speed settings and features like full-screen antialiasing.
    Now, version 4.5.9 of ATi Displays is a Universal Binary, but ATi in their infinite wisdom have made it so that it WILL NOT install on a Mac Pro, only a G5.
    But there's a way around this:
    http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=199963
    Have a look at post No. 8. Simply put the displays.app in your /Applications/Utilities folder, and run it from there. Runs no problem. I couldn't get the Prefs Pane to work, but all that does is launch the Displays.app
    Have fun!

  • I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration firm keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • HT201318 I bought keynote for macpro laptop , and ipad . I paid each $19.99.  Am I over paid?

    I bought keytone app one for ipad one for macpro laptop each at $19.99.  Why can I just pay once for all my device

    Because the Mac version and iOS version are different, for different operating systems. You need both if you want to use it on both.

  • What is the recommended security software for MacPro? I am getting popups, including offer to sell Mac Sheild. Is this legit?

    What is the recommended security software for MacPro? I am getting popups, including offer to sell Mac Sheild. Is this legit?

    No, it is not legit, it's a scam. Avoid such popups and DO NOT under any circumstances fall for any claims that your system has been infected by viruses and download any of this "scareware". See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650
    For additional information, see also:
    http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=138  
    http://www.reedcorner.net/guides/macvirus/  
    If you do a forum search on Mac Defender, Mac Protector or Apple Security Center (this fake has a lot of different names) you will also find a lot of threads about this.
    The most recommended "security software" is "none", beyond common sense and normal caution. If you do, however, decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough provided you remember to scan your system from time to time. iAntivirus has also been recommended by others, though I have no personal experience with it.
    If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.

  • Airport Wireless card for MacPro April 2008 FA970LL/A

    I see from another post that part # MB363Z/A works for MacPro January 2008, but I just wanted to know if anyone out there has installed this part in a 2008 MacPro FA970LL/A (spring)

    Ok so I am having a conversation all by myself lol! Seriously I called a Mac Genius and he told me that the part number is MB988Z/A which is the same airport part number for the 2009 MacPro's! Now if you find this part number it will state that it only works with 2009 MacPro's and not earlier Mac's!
    Apple should really get it's story straight! Heck, I am not trying to replace an engine in a Ferrari!

    set the wake-on lan on the main computer
    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.
