Can I play and record minecraft on a mac pro

I am currently playing minecraft on a windows pc with a 1GB graphics card. My graphics card has crashed while playing basic minecraft. I want to buy minecraft so I can do more and also install HD resource packs, but are unable to because of my computer. I have been advised to buy the new Apple Mac Pro, as it has a 6GB graphics card, but am wondering if minecraft will run on it and if so, how well. I also want to record minecraft and put it on youtube, but have noticed that most of the people who play minecraft have pc's to play and record it on. I have also noticed that mojang, who make minecraft are using pc's. Is there anybody who is using an Apple to play and record minecraft and if so, could you let me know how well it works and if you have uploaded it to youtube, please give me your link or username. I am looking at buying the new Mac Pro to run minecraft but am wondering if it will do what I want it to do and if anyone has any advise.
Thankyou.

You can only PLAY Blu-ray discs on a Mac by using one of several software's that untilize a Blu-ray license on the internet. What this means is that you must have a fast internet connection to play the disc on your machine. Apple refuses in support Blu-ray with their OS, so there's no way one can play BRD using their computers software in a stand-a-lone manner, like Windows users can. This is one of those reasons for the love and hate relationships Apple creates for controlling the market to their advantage, at a loss of one of the most common entertainment formats to their user base. They could easily support the format, they simply chose not to either out of stubborness or for money reasons. The latter makes you winder when they have so much of it now.
Toast software, on the other hand, has the ability to burn Blu-ray discs, so you can at least use BRD for back-up. You can also rip movies, etc. I purchased a small and nifty portable BR burner from Sony, Model BDX-S600U that was fairly cheap at the time for $149. It's now $178 at Amazon. It only interfaces witha computer through dual USB though (one is for additonal power), so you can't use it with your TV. I use this device on my MacBook Air when I want to burn or play DVD's. I have tested the machine and it plays DVD movies and burns just fine. I've been so busy though, that I haven't actualy burned a BR data disc yet, but I know the Toast software supports it. Moreover, hard drives have become so cheap, that burning to BR isn't the best BU, but still uasable and great for mailing large files.
Unfortunately, until Apple gets their HOOTA we may never see BR support because Tim Cook may just follow Steve Jobs lead out of respect. Yet, with new leadership, and Steve out of the way (Bless him), we may eventually see Apple support. Especially as they continue to merge iOS and OSX. I wouldn't hold your breath on it though.

Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

You can also install Windows (new activation copy) on your Mac and use Windows natively, or for 99.9% of running Office apps, run Windows as a guest VM is fine. The data can be opened and edited and exported back to native Office format and opened in OpenOffice and others, or in Pages and Numbers, though whether those are satisfactory solutions or not you'll have to decide.
If you have a copy of Office that includes PC and mobile devices and Mac? like Office 365 for 5 devices?
But the actual apps of course are platform / OS specific.
And right now if you are running Windows 8.1 for instance, you can download the ISO and install Windows 10 Technical Preview (very nice btw, combines a lot of desired features). Have only run into one small problem in using it so far.
VirtualBox is free Oracle VM or there are commercial VM products. To run Windows natively you just use a Mac utility, Boot Camp Assistant, to partition a drive (internal) and to install and provides Mac specific drivers.

Can Express 9 play and record multiple instruments at the same time?

I have logic express 9 and was told with my interface that I can play and record different instruments at the same time on Express 9. Is this true because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how.

Hi,
to record multiple Inputs at a time, open up the appropriate number of audio tracks. Now for each track, select the correct Input in the Channelstrip.
Now, ARM all these tracks for recording by clicking the little red R in the track header or channelstrip. Now if you hit record, all these tracks should record simultaneously their respective inputs.
All other existing tracks should playback while recording.

Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time

Greetings everyone,
My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
So here are my questions:
- Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
- Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
Thanks for your replies.

Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?

Why can't I get AU Lab and Soundflower to record anything on my Mac Pro!

(Please be patient, I really apreciate your time and input!)
I have been (and I am) recording for years with logic audio and a lot of other recording aplications which I own.
I started experimenting with AU Lab. Although I am very good at figuering out, learning new applications I can't
record a thing with AU Lab and Soundflower to record anything on my Mac Pro! I red the confusing instructions
and followed You Tube videos on this. I get a reading of what I want to record in the AU Lab mixers only if I set
the input and output to Soundflower, but after recording and saving the AU Lab Recording .aif files play back nothing!
I am running system 10.9, latest AU Lab version. I do not use the Alesis iO|26 firewire interface I have connected but I
only want to record what is playing in my computer.
I changed input and output settings in the above to different combinations and in system audio still no sound out of
the AU Lab Recording .aif files I get!
Thank you for any ideas of what I do wrong or have to set up.
W.W.

Hi Paul and thank you so much for replying.
I still can't get any movement when playing audio. Note that it says (Overload 9
next to the Audio engine running. This is there even with the LR sliders set to 1
Here is what I am looking at after trying to do what you said:

Can you confirm that Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library is checked in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab.
If not, check it and go through the "Add file to library" procedure one more time.

Simultaneously Play and Record.

Hi
I'm working on a application where I need simultaneously Play and Record.
I followed the code of 'SpeakHere'. I got some success also. It is playing and recording simultaneously, but the problem is it plays audio through headphone speaker while recording. I wanted it to play through external speaker.
thanks.

That is, literally, all the code I have behind my "Enable Speaker" button. Are you sure you've set the Audio Session's category beforehand, and enabled it?
I see you're using the SpeakHere sample code. It does take care of setting up the audio session and enabling it. But it uses the "Media Playback" category of the audio session, rather than the "Play and Record" category.
Look for all the places in SpeakHere where they set the audio session's category (for playback) and change it to the "Play and Record" category. The property I mentioned above only takes effect in this category.
Good luck! If you're still having trouble, a chunk of code or some NSLog output might be helpful.

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.
