Are the new cylindrical Mac Pros limited to 4K 24p output?

I've heard this from multiple sources, but Apple's own technical documents do not offer max refresh rates through HDMI, DisplayPort.
Can anyone confirm/deny via a URL that the new Mac Pro's video is limited to a 24Hz refresh rate?
Thanks in advance.

From Apples own technical documents.

When are the new thunderbolt mac pros coming out

We've been waiting for over a year for the new mac pros with new processors & thunderbolt. When will they be released??

A new mac pro was announced at WWDC but not that much different from current models.
Then there's this:
Tim Cook Confirms That The Mac Pro Will Get A Big Refresh 'Later Next Year'
and this,
Mac Pro refresh irks Andy Hertzfeld, Apple confirms revisions 'likely' in 2013 (update)

Just got the new 2010 Mac Pro and the Mini DVI ports are dead

Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone know if they need to be "enabled" somehow?

Yes, the adapter does seem to go all the way up to the plastic shell. And the the adapters and displays work fine when driven by either of my MacBook Pros. And there seems to be some sort of connection being made because when the adapter is unplugged, the monitor goes through its typical "I'm unplugged" test mode phases with color screens and so forth, but when I plug it in to the Mac Pro, it goes black.

Are 3rd party plugins working yet with the new "nehalem" mac pros?

specifically, I'm wondering about these plugins:
Waves
Omnisphere
East West / Play
BFD
Addictive Drums
Native Instruments / Akoustic Piano
In Logic 8.0.2
There seems to be rumors floating around of nasty processor spikes which make the previous generation a safer bet?
Anyone with first-hand experience would be awesome to hear from.
Currently these all (finally) work smoothly for me on a Dual 2.66 GHZ Mac Pro (from late 2006).
thanks

Anyone have any experience with this yet?

The ability of the new 2014 Mac Pro to run older legacy OSX versions?

Being a video editor, I will probably be in the market to buy the new Mac Pro when it's released into the marketplace (which should be very soon).
So my question is...I usually retain several different startup drives, with different versions of OSX and different versions of editing software.   Let's say I have the new Mac Pro, the 2014 edition, but rather than edit a new project in Mavericks and FCPX...I find that I need to go back to a legacy version of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and FCP 7.   And I have that on a bootable external drive.    And the key question is...would anyone know if I could boot up on that using the new Mac Pro hardware?
My current Mac Pro is an older one, 1.1, and I have no difficulty in restarting and booting up from legacy drives containing older versions of the OSX.   I'm hoping the same may be true of the new one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks, John

your   1,1 as a backup, test system, safety net would be excellent. And if you have not already, some are very happy with cheap 53xx upgrades to 8-core and some other touches to keep it running smoothly.
I wish there was a bootable PCIe 6G card, not for booting but better support for PCIe 1.x SSD controllers.
I feel like I am hitting some bandwidth walls lately - seems odd but my i7 2.66 920 PC running 7 or 8.1 feels smoother and better in comparison to Lion 10.7.5 Lion use to feel perfectly fine, but background tasks, especially TimeMachine and CCC can seemingly bring it to its knees - slow web page loading for one thing.
If you can afford to keep the 1,1 and make some improvements to it, do so though. It's latest 7 yrs and may have a couple more years of life left in it.

Will the new 2012 Mac pros boot on Snow Leopard (10.6.8, installed on a HD in a 2008 Mac pro and then moved to the 2012 model).

I keep getting fuzzy answers on this (firmware, future updates, etc.). I can make a 2 partition HD on my 2008 (3.1), with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on 1, and Lion on the other, and then put this HD in the 2012 3.06ghz. Will it work? (It does on the 2010 2.93ghz).

Tony https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4051765?tstart=0 Never got back and until someone who received a "new" Mac Pro 5,1 (5,2? just for laughs?) to know.
Apple ties OS build and fiirmware and Mac ID.
It should after all nothing really changed. In this case it has the same latest firmware that shipped iwth some 2010s
We had discussions about this when Mac Pro 2010 started shipping with Lion last... summer/fall.
A true Lion only system ships not only without DVDs, and with Lion, but can do a network install (it grabs a small boot loader) to pull down the installer and has enough code in the firmware. Same with AHT.
A. It (10.6.8) works and you are fine
B. It works only with Lion.
What is the real question? do you need to run 10.6.8?
There is a 1/20 chance too that it has a later build of 10.7.4, right?

What is the right HD drive for the new (2008) mac pro

what's exactly the difference between Sata I, Sata II, sata 150, sata 300, sata 3gb ???
what drive's should i use in the new mac pro ? any advice / clearification would be great !

Thats a very good drive, I've been using them in Sony Vaios and laptops for years in various forms and they are blazing fast, never had one problem with them.
I think they have software on the website which lets you config the drive for acoustically quieter operation or 'full bore' speed. Been awhile since I've bought one so maybe thats not available anymore.

Where are the 6-core Mac Pro at 3.33GHz in the 'store'???

I'm trying to configure a 6-core Mac Pro at 3.33GHz with some extras but, it's nowhere to be found at the online store!... What gives??
Thanks

Thanks... But when I go to the buy page this is all i get....
http://store.apple.com/ussmb_78313/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macpro
It shows only the 3 models i mentioned earlier. Does it matter where you are located... (i'm trying this from Aruba)

I am new to Mac Pro but am purchasing one online. can anyone tell me how to get the information from my Toshiba onto the Mac. there are no stores in the state I live in. Do I need to find a location and will they do a transfer from my I Tunes etc?

I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?

You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

How well does Aperture 2.0 run on the new 13" Macbook Pro?

Hi,
I'm seriously considering buying a new mac in the next week or so. I was just wondering if any of you had any advice as to whether the new 13" Macbook Pro is good enough to run Apple's Aperture 2.0, quite well? I'm not worried about the screen size as I will mostly be working from home, but the mobility would be a huge advantage in the field.
Thank-you,
Rob

The 13" MBP is relatively a lower end box for running a VERY hardware-hungry application. There are folks who consider strong Mac Pros marginal yet at the same time there are folks who find Macbooks even weaker than the 13" MBP "strong enough," so "quite well" unfortunately is in the eyes of the beholder. IMO IF one is aware of and accepts the limitations a 13" MBP certainly "works."
RAM fortunately can go to 8GB, a very big deal; however among Macs the 13" box has minimum-in-class graphics, no EC/34 slot forever preventing eSATA and/or SSD utility, and has a glossy-only display.
I'm not worried about the screen size as I will mostly be working from home, but the mobility would be a huge advantage in the field.
Working from home you will presumably be driving a secondary display, further taxing the weaker graphics of the 13" size.
Personally I don't find the ~1 pound saving over the 15" or the ~2 pound saving over the 17" to be "a huge advantage in the field." IMO for graphics, especially photos, the loss of screen real estate and pixels in the 13" size is a huge disadvantage in the field. The pound or two of weight IMO is much, much less relevant than the huge benefits of extra pixels and screen real estate in larger sizes.

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

In addition, to get you up to speed with FCP X, you can also watch 2 hours of free video tutorials here

Does new 2012 mac pro ssd need trim enabler

does new 2012 mac pro ssd need trim enabler

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If they need TRIM (I think that the flash storage included with the MacBook Pro does not need TRIM), Apple turns it on by default with the MacBook.
However, there are some people that doesn't recommend TRIM because it may hurt (rather than improve) performance > http://blog.macsales.com/11051-to-trim-or-not-to-trim-owc-has-the-answer
