Bought internal bluetooth card in 5 year old Mac Pro; not working right?

Bought internal bluetooth adaptor for my 5 year old Mac Pro. It searches for bluetooth devices, but dosn't find bluetooth devices; any advice?
I secured it interlanly with the two screws supplied. Had replacement card sent out, but same thing?
Using it with Apple Magic Mouse. I know mouse works as I tried it on friends new iMac.
Using latest Snow Leopard, and have seperate boot drive with Lion. Dosn't work on either.
Bluetooth ikon shoes in bar at top, and all software functions normally, just dosn't detect anything?
Thanks.

Try smc and pram reset.

Upgrading? 3 year-old Mac Pro 3.1 with 8 GB RAM

I have a 3-year old Mac Pro (model 3.1) with 8 GB RAM and 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon processors. The RAM consists of 8 x 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Two questions:
1) I need tp upgrade my RAM to 16 GB or more to run a new software (memory intensive application). I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to upgrade this system for ~$500 or just buy a new system with newer components. Also, whether the system can effectively use 16 GB of memory
2) Recently my Mac Pro has been very slow and jittery e.g. when I switch between applications. I've already tried things like cleaning up the hard drive / repairing disk permissions with little improvement. The only other thing I can think of doing is wiping the system clean and reinstalling everything. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, and if there is asomething to do to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks!

you can max out at 32GB
An SSD can make a difference also
Hang in for what/when/if the MacPro6,1

I would add 4 x 4GB to get to 20GB and see how that goes.
Upgrade the hard drive: SSD or 10K WD VR 600GB or something.
Off load your home media data and such to another drive, and go for a lean-mean OS/Apps only boot drive.

The trackpad on my 4-year-old Macbook Pro barely works anymore. It moves around by itself sometimes, can't scroll, etc. Is there a way to fix this?

Which Apple computer is best for video - Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop et. I have a 7 year old Mac Pro which will not accept FCP X.

I have an Apple Mac Pro. It is almost 7 years old and will not accept FCP X. I have been waiting for Apple to make a new Mac Pro, but I don't know when that will happen.
Any recommendations?

Do not put new money today into Mac Pro 2008 or previous. (the FBDIMM memory is too expensive).
Some say skip the 2009 model as the 2010 is better (has built-in support for hex processors) but not a lot more money.
Computers will always be better, faster, and cheaper if you wait. [A new Mac Pro may not be solid on day 1.] At some point, you have to get your work done, and just have to hold your nose and choose from what is avaiable and stable at the moment.

3 year old Mac will not start up, help?

Guassian Blur hanging up in PS CS5.1 on 1 year old Mac Pro

I am running Photoshop CS5.1 on a Mac Pro that is only about a year old (OS - Snow Leopard). The machine has 24GB of ram and I am devoting about 18GB of the ram to Photoshop. It doesn't matter how big the image is that I am working on but whenever I try to run a Guassian Blur on a layer mask, the dialog opens up and just starts the beach ball spinning. I then try to click on the slider or type in a value and it doesn't respond. After about 2-3 minutes of spinning beach ball, the slider jumps to 250 and starts acting real wonky - the slider moves with the cursor without even holding and clicking on top of the slider - almost like its stuck to the cursor. I've tried running in both 64-bit and 32-bit modes and the same behavior occurs. Anybody else experience this weird behavior?
Thanks,
Brian

Boilerplate-text:
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Old Mac games not working

I've just found a box with some of my favourite old Mac games in that I used with my old Lime iMac. Titles such as FA/18 Hornet, Command and Conquer and Railroad Tycoon amongst others. I also have some education disks that are invaluable resources. I've tried loading them onto my MacBook Pro and it says each title cannot be loaded as it's not supported on this computer. How can this be? Surely these titles are back compatible? Is there anything I can do to load them on and use them or are they now useless? Thanks in advance!

Rosetta is the built-in translator for OS X PPC apps. It works with many, but not all, apps:
http://www.macintouch.com/imacintel/rosettacompat.html
However, it does not work with OS 9 apps (which PPC Macs running OS X could run in the Classic environment). To run those on an Intel Mac, you can try SheepSaver:
http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/sheepshaver/
That's a bit involved, as it requires you to have OS 9.0.4 or earlier install discs, and you need to have access to a PowerPC Mac to extract the bootROM from it.
Frankly, you are probably better off 1) finding new games to play and contacting the vendor(s) of the educational/medical materials to see if they have an updated version or 2) getting an old Mac to run those on.
~I've got a PowerMac 6500/225 sitting in my basement, 2 GB HDD, built in Zip drive (remember those?), still runs great!~
Hope this helps...

One year old PC Battery not working

I am using HP Probook 4530s. Manufactured in 2012,bought it last year. The battery life after having been fully charged lasts 3 hours. However, since last week,whenever I remove the Charger from the PC,it shuts down automatically(even though my battery is
full).
I was advised by someone to remove battery and try to put it back again. No change. The computer is not starting up on its own without the Charger connected to the AC Power. I have also tried testing my battery on a friend's similar PC,its working just fine
without connecting to Power. I have also tried Putting a different, fully charged,working battery into my PC. Its not starting up.
What could be the problem please.Help

Aside from the MOF forum really not being the right place for this, I'd suggest you'd be better off contacting HP about this since it sounds like an issue with your laptop, eg

Diablo 1 not working at all, 12 year old game does not work on new computer

Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 with Windows Vista 32 bit, it has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 video card. I also have Direct x 10 installed which according to the manufacturers of my video card is compatible. I have run a game test which was included with the CD and it says everything is o.k. But it is still coming up with this error. "Diablo was unable to properly intialize your video card using directX" then it tells me to update my directx which i have done. check and update my driver for my video card and make sure its compatiable which i have done and know it is. I have been to Blizzard Games and they have said that can not help me and i will have to go to the manufacturer of the video card. I Went to them and they said because it was a laptop they can not help me with this and told me to goto the manufacturer of my laptop which i am doing at the moment, but if anyone else has had this problem and has any ideas how i can get this running please tell me thankyou.

This game was designed for Windows 95. Many older games wont run under the NT kernel (under XP and Vista) unless you use emulation such as DOSBox.
You could try setting the game to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode (Right click the games EXE file, choose Properties -> Compatibility Tab).
Otherwise you may need to install Win95/98, and possibly use an older Video Card since the display drivers change so rapidly and drop legacy features not used anymore.

5 year old mac pro. Does not boot up.

I've tried the usual online trouble shoot topics but none fit exactly. I push power button on case, fan whirs into life (occasionally a bit noisier than usual), the power light comes on as does the monitor power light, but thats it. No boot up and no image or colour on screen. I've unplugged everything and started again but to no avail. Any ideas anyone please?

pull out all yur drives and try again and you should get "?"
then put an OS X DVD, or find a known good OS X drive
The SMC button for yours is near drive bay #4 and pcie slot #4 which takes just short 6 second depress

I have a 3 year old mac pro running 10.6.8 should i upgrade to the latest software?

Will the upgrade slow down my computer or will it be more beneficial?
Thanks for any info, D.D.D

There is no way to intelligently answer your question (re: performance). Since you are running what is unsupported software (by Apple), I would seriously consider upating to the latest software.

What to do with 3 Year Old Mac Pro

Hey guys, We got a Mid 2011 27 inch iMac and i'M loving it. Strangely enough we needed two machines and while this one was in the process of shipping the ole Mac Pro gave me the CPUB red light and just wouldn't recover. During the lag time between the iMac's arriaval and the Mac Pro's breakdown I had to carry my home PC to the office to get some work done (thank God I was working in Premier Pro). My boss said I could have the Mac Pro for parts or whatever, but I wanna at least try and save it(considering we've now got 4 drives with work on em and no place to put em). Any suggestions guys? Shipping to the states is a no, no btw. We're in Jamaica.

After I've unscrewed the corner screws and they pop up... it's still fastened
The heatsink is still fastened?
The latch is to the side of each processor cover, holding the processor cover which holds the processor.
If the heatsink is still in position, the latch can't be seen.
Once the heatsink screws are released, a wiggle of the heatsink should cause the thermal compound to release, freeing the heatsink.
While for a LGA1366 socket, the following (very complete) tutorial shows how to open the processor socket to install a processor:

Three years later and still not working right

Moved to my new address about 4 1/2 years ago, and for 18 months never any problems, 100% working, 1MB reliable. Then something changed !!! Got a new Homehub (with blue lights on), and since then DISASTER. The line drops (log states "unreachable") and some days if the winds in the right direction I can get 2MBs, otherwise its down to 64kbs (I kid you not). As I work from home (computer/server support) I pay the higher rate for my BB (unlimited) and the service offered is **bleep**. Over the last 3 years I have had 4 engineer visits, who have changed the faceplate each time for the latest version, and have confirmed its NOT MY FAULT, its the exchange or its the ext wiring to the excahnge. Once they even traced it back a few miles and told me they dug the road up to change a connector (funny I drive down that road all the time and never saw them digging up the road the day they claim to have). My latest saga ? I'm lucky if I get 90 secs without being kicked off (I had to cut and paste this). The hub logs state some of the following

And it goes on and on like this, as a result it kicks off any wireless connected devices (printer etc), which will no longer connector till they are rebooted. If the homehub is powered down, and back up then the internet works fine for a few minutes, then crash down it goes again. Got engineer number 5 coming thursday, but I think the same will happen again, new faceplate, and told its the exchange or the wires to the exchange! Anyone got any clues or suggestions I can use to get this resolved ? By the way neighbor is with Pipex and never has any problems, yet they did when with BT ? strange I thought they used the BT lines ?
