Can I add a DVD-104 superdrive to Mac Pro
I want to add a DVD-104 superdrive to the second bay of my mac pro. Will it work? Do I have to move any of the jumpers on the drive. The first bay already has the 16x superdrive that came with the computer.
Thanks,
Gary
Additionally, be sure to remove all the approriate bezels from the drive as it will otherwise not fit. You need to pay particular attention to the one that's on the end of the tray itself as it's easily missed.

How can I add wifi & bluetooth to late 2006 Mac Pro
I have a dual 2.66 Xeon Mac Pro purchased new in December 2006. I wanted to add the airport wifi and bluetooth card but have been told by the technical line that Apple no longer makes these. They suggested I would have to pursue a third party solution which I find remarkable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about this or practical experience in doing it?
Cheers,
GordLook on eBay or search Google. You can check ifixit.com to see if they carry the part. You should be able to find online tutorials via Google on how to install it. Some disassembly is required.

I am having a real hard time trying to add my outlook exchange emails to my MAC Pro. Can anyone help?
This has nothing to do with iCloud.
Are you trying to add your Exchange account to "Outlook for Mac" or to "Apple Mail"?
What version on OS X are you using?
What version of Exchange does your account use?

how can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage
Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini
How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.
True ... but that can be tricky.
Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
Alternately ...
Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed. -

Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
I have a new Mac Pro with Pioneer DVD burner built in. I've since found out that it only burns Dual Layer +R type, and not the -R type.
My replication company need a Dual Layer -R type DVD as they can't get a glass-master off the +R type Dual Layer discs.
Can anyone recommend/suggest a cheap way of being able to either master off a DVD to Dual Layer -R disc, or perhaps copy my Dual Layer +R to a Dual Layer -R ?
Thanks guys.Everything I have ever read about the DVD-R DL discs says the layer break can't be chosen by the author. It is not a DVDSP issue; it is an issue with the media.
This is actually listed in the DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News on page 15:
"Using DVD-R Dual-Layer Media
If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
Since there is no current way for DVD Studio Pro to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in a warning appearing telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.
You can use DVD+R double-layer media for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project."

Can I put all 4 disks in my Mac Pro in a single RAID 1 set?
Can I put all 4 disks in my Mac Pro in a single RAID 1 set? I have tried DU but it will not let me add the disk that holds the OS. Machine is brand new. I am looking for one big disk.
Any help would be appreciated!!
I am on OSX 10.5.4Yes, but since it will wipe out everything on all four drives, you have to use Disk Utility on the install DVD. Be sure to have another drive for backup with another copy of OSX. You can't do firmware updates from OSX on a RAID set.

Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?
why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?
Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?
How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?
Which video card? 5x70? If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor). And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
It's not really complicated. Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up. For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters. For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio. -

Can i hook up my xbox 360 to mac pro 27
i wnat to know how or if i can hook up my xbox 360 to my mac pro 27 as a screen to play games
I suppose you can. You're talking about the desktop Mac Pro, right?
just takin' a stab at it here, but I think elgato has a game capture box which might be helpful. It does mention xbox 360 and ps3. if it's for a MacBook Pro, I can't say for sure. Maybe blackmagic??
