Are 2013 Mac Pro DIMMS compatible with 12-Core Silver Tower?

I have a Mid 2011 12-Core Silver Tower, and want to upgrade the memory, however, I also expect to upgrade the entire computer in the next year or two, so I'm wondering if I can buy DIMMS compatible with the 2013 model and use them in the Silver Tower?
Currently, the Silver Tower has 8 slots, 4 of which are occupied with 2GB DDR3 ECC 1066MHz modules. Correlary question is: can I keep these DIMMS in the 4 matching slots, and put the faster 2013 DIMMS in the other four matching slots, or do I have to replace EVERYTHING?
Thanks in advance!

The Mac Pro silver tower has unique cooling requirements not present in other computers, including the Mac Pro 6,1 black cylinder. Memories for the silver towers should have Apple-approved extra-large heatsinks.
I think you should just buy the DIMMs specifically for the model you have, and leave it at that. The 8GB modules will still mix freely with smaller sizes, and are about the same price as two 4GB modules, so they are the best choice.

Is Mac Pro 2007 compatible with new 6Gb/s SSD harddrive?

Hi,
I'm using my old Mac Pro from 2007 for music production. It works very well, but I want to upgrade it with a new SSD harddrive.
Is the Mac Pro from 2007 compatible with a new SSD SATA 6GB/s harddrive, like a Crucial MX100?
As I see it, there are three possibilities:
1) It will run fine.
2) It will run, but only on half the speed (3GB/s).
3) It will not run.
What will happen?
Thanks for helping me out.
All the best,
Anders from Denmark

RE: SATA Bus speed:
Most Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.
Even most common SSD drives are not bottlenecked by SATA 2.

Is there an automated way to check if my MAC Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion?

I am trying to upgrade my OS to Mauntain Lion after reading all of the requirements, but when i click on purchase, it is telling me that my system is not compatible. Is there a way to automatically confirm compatibility?

It seems you already did that but to verify the App Store's diagnosis is actually correct, type in your Mac Pro's serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
To find its serial number: Mac Pro: How to find the serial number
You can copy the serial number from About This Mac > More Info... and paste it in the above page's serial number field. Mountain Lion requires an early 2008 or newer Mac Pro. That would be a MacPro3,1 or later.

Is Bluetooth module for Mac Pro/iMac compatible with FW800 MDD?

I've been looking at fitting an internal Apple Bluetooth module in my FW800 MDD G4, and I've noticed the later modules for Intel Macs appear to have the same form factor. The connection to the logic board looks identical, as do the mounting holes. The only physical difference seems to be where the BT antenna connects (below on the original G4 card, above on the later modules).
Has anyone tried fitting one with success?

if you got the guts, shove it in there. think the issue you will have is the original machines supported the 1.1 cards, the card you speak of is 2.0

How can I have two displays mirrored (4 total) on the mid-2013 mac pro?

Hello.
I have the mid-2013 Mac Pro (last model with PCIe slots). I would like to use 4 monitors; two in the regular extended desktop configuration, with two more that simply mirror the first two. I am sure I need some kind of splitter, or do I need another graphics card?

I am sure I need some kind of splitter
Another alternative is to get enough ports on display cards and use the Mirroring feature in Mac OS X. Any display can be mirrored with any other display by dragging the icon for a display onto the Icon for one you wish to mirror. The resolutions will be reset to one that can accommodate both displays.
This works without adding ANY overhead if the two displays being mirrored are on the SAME display card.

Is Photoshop Elements 13 compatible with late 2013 Mac Pro?

Does anyone here run PSE 13 smoothly on the late 2013 Mac Pro? My copy runs very sluggish on my Mac Pro even though it has a 3.7GHz quad-core Xeon processor with 16GB of RAM. For example, if I drag a slider, it does not move smoothly. The slider will jump after a second or two. Then a few seconds later, its effects are shown. If I move the mouse to a button, it will take awhile before it displays its name.
I use a 2nd copy of PSE 13 on my MacBook Pro with no problem at all.
I contacted Adobe support and they asked me to re-launch the PSE and reset the preference. It did not work. I then un-installed the PSE and re-installed it. The same problem still exists. What is worse is now my Mac Pro does not enter sleep mode.
Anyone here with good experience with PSE 13 on the latest Mac Pro? All other programs on my Mac Pro run well.

Thanks
I can't understand why I can't install it on my MacBook Air. I continue to get Exit Code: 7 with DW063 being the dominant errors. the error statement says it is unable to get permissions of /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 13/Support files/ etc.
There is no Adobe Photoshop Elements folder on my computer.
I added a 2nd account with Admin privileges and got the same results.
I downloaded the install file from both Adobe and Amazon.

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.

Performance Issue Premiere Pro CC 2014 with Late 2013 Mac Pro

Hi all!
Im working Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Late 2013 Mac Pro 6 core D700s and 32GB RAM on OSX 10.9.4
After the 2014 update i have experience some drop frames and hangs with a new 1080p timeline project.
And it later results in software hang and crashing . even after a quit (force quit) and re-poen, it seems to happen again and again.
Even after a system reboot seems to be fine at first, but it still crashes on the project.
Tired to render the timeline and still the same. Also tried to delete rendered file and play right with timeline with yellow bar, same.
Even drop the preview playback to 1/2 and still..
files are mixed 1080p footage from Canon 5d3, 60D, T2i.
I have 3 layers (interview video with different angles) and a title layer (hard subtitle)
had some light color correction with fast color corrector and a sharpening on the 5d3 layer.
Ive work with the CC premiere pro before with mac pro and everything is fine and never hand an issue.
All my memory setting are set for performance and i have open GL on my D700s
Im not sure if this a software issue or someone my hardware is not working right?!
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issues.
Im working on a late 2012 iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. 32 Gb ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX, OS X 10.9.4.
I'm editing RED footage, about 3 TB worth for this project from a Promise Pegasus drive.
The software really slows down when using the TYPE tool and also when scrubbing through footage.
When I attempt to quite the software and restart, the interface goes away but the app is still running but says "not responding" when I attempt to force quit.
If you've figured it out since then Id love to know what works.
Thanks!

Vertical Banding in Photoshop 2014 with late 2013 Mac Pro

After installing the latest version of Photoshop 2014 on my late 2013 Mac Pro my images are showing horizontal banding when editing a layer mask. Adobe said this is the fault of the GPU (Mine: two AMD FirePro D500) and that I should post it here, for Apple to read.

I have a similar problem. Adobe said Apple needs to fix the bug in the driver for my GPU. I have a Mid 2010 Mini with a NVIDIA GeForce 320M.
The pattern shows up in layer masks in Photoshop CC 2014. I have not seen this problem in previous versions of PS.

"Iris Closed" using a 2003-era iSight camera with 2013 Mac Pro / FCPx

Hello All -
I have a late-2013 Mac Pro 6,1 and I'm attempting to use a 2003-era external Apple iSight camera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight
I was able to get the iSight camera connected with a firewire to thunderbolt adapter. I can use the camera and microphone in various applications; Facetime, and Google Hangouts.
But when I go to Import in FCPx, Final Cut Pro X says "Iris Closed" and I can't click the record/import button. I try opening and closing the hardware iris, but no luck. These are the instructions I am trying to follow: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12752
Anyone have any luck with this? Maybe 10+ year old camera is not destined to work with this new hardware/software, even if they are all made by Apple.
Thanks,
Justin

2010 iMac target display mode with 2013 Mac Pro

I have a 2010 27-inch iMac that I want to use with target display mode for a 2013 Mac Pro. I have a mini display port to mini display port cable connecting them. When I plug the cable in the iMac screen goes black, but eventually reverts back to iMac desktop. Pressing Cmd-F2 makes it go black again, but eventually reverts back. I was under the impression that this was the correct cable to use to connect, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have ideas for what to do? What am I missing? Thanks!

You can use the cheaper single link adapter
<http://store.apple.com/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter>
if you don't have more than two DVI or HDMI displays.
<http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202801>
If you will be using more, you can still use a single link adapter, but it must be ACTIVE, such as

re:FCP3
Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.
re: burning.
Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
Good luck.

Is it possible to set up 2013 Mac Pro with wireless keyboard?

Is a connected keyboard required to set up 2013 Mac Pro or is it possible to do with just a wireless keyboard/mouse?

I use the Blue Tooth Keyboard and Wireless mouse that came with my MacPro. I've never had any trouble using it during a Fresh install setup.
The Trackpad, however, is a different story. That has never worked during the setup. I have to get the OS istalled and set up the trackpad before I can use it.
