Can I purchase a Thunderbolt card for my Mac Pro?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if Apple sells any Thunderbolt cards for a system which does not currently have the Thunderbolt ports on it? Thanks!

True TB has to be part of the motherboard and not just an add on.
Take a look and see what Intel has posted about specification and technology.
You want more bandwidth? for...? storage? video? RAIDs?
What do all the add on cards you can buy and upgrade lack? that TB would add?
Name? Apple is good at giving names for tech features.
There are USB3 cards and SATA 6G. You are limited of course in the number and choice in graphic cards, and in aux power connectors.
But I don't see TB as being needed in workstation. And it won't be until PCIe 3.0 / LGA 2011 socket and new motherboards. And Intel Ivy Bridge.

HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there. I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Sound Card for the Mac Pro

Hello,
I've searched around but can't seem to find any definitive answer to buying a sound card for my Mac Pro. I want to plug in a guitar and microphone for garageband and voice overs on FCP. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jake

Best look for usb/fw audio interfaces which can be inexpensive and easy to get up an running.
There are many many cards on the market all depending on how many I/O you are chasing and overall sonic results.
If your in the market for entry level cards - check out
www.m-audio.com
www.focusrite.com
www.digidesign.com
or
if your in the semi-pro market, look at www.rme-audio.com (mainly the fireface series)
My pick if you are an entry level user wanting a great 2in/2out interface, have a look at the Duet by Apogee.
http://www.apogeedigital.com/
(I use all their top end pro kit and can tell you they are a very good company in both product and support)

I am searching for a runway card for a power mac G5 A1177 thats cheap.

"Where" questions are more easlily answered if you tell us your approximate geographic loation. That way you won't get links to vendors who cannot ship to your location.
That said, here is a US vendor:

Thunderbolt retrofit for Intel Mac Pro available?

Is there gonna be a retrofit for older Mac Pro (2009) to use Thunderbolt?

A quick search brought up AMD's statement from a year ago, so ancient history but "AMD Does Not Believe in Intel Thunderbolt" might mean they didn't think worth investing in R&D and engineering such a card in 2011.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/20110228163206_AMD_Does_Not_Believe_i n_Intel_s_Thunderbolt.html
ADC is deal. Long live ADC, remember that?
AMD is apparently not impressed with Intel's Thunderbolt.
An unnamed AMD representative reportedly said that Intel's new Thunderbolt tech will become another proprietary standard that may not be widely adopted. The obvious reason is the current overall lack of devices that can take advantage of the extreme throughput.

What model of Airport Extreme Card for 2007 Mac Pro 2.6GHz

I am trying to find what model of Airport Extreme Card I need to install into my 2007 Mac Pro 2.6GHz
I understand that there is a 2008 card which is incompatible, so I don't want to buy the wrong one.
Any help appreciated.
Laus.

Its really confusing when Apple calls their internal wireless card on a Mac an AirPort Extreme card......and they also market an outboard wireless router called an AirPort Extreme. See info below:
http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/
You posted in the support community for the Apple wireless routers.....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.
While it is possible that someone here might be able to answer your question, you will likely receive a much faster and more informated response if you post your question again in the support area for the Mac Pro.
The link to that support area is here:

Can I Purchase iTunes Gift card for US in India

Hello
I want to Giveaway iTunes Gift Card to my blog readers in US. I am resident of India.
Can I buy iTunes Gift Card(s) online with valid US postal addresse(s) of the winner (s) through my account?
OR
What is the best way to gift iTunes cards to US resident while I am sitting in India?
Waiting to hear from you
Thanks

Sorry, but you cannot purchase iTunes gift cards from outside of the country in which they are sold by any means I know of, since such purchases generally require a US credit card. You can try contacting Apple's corporate marketing group, though, and ask if there's anything they can work out for you:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/corporatesales/
By the way, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with questions like this if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

Yes, as iPads with 3G are usually not SIM locked, you could exchange the US micro SIM with a new one from Switzerland.

I Live In US Can I Purchase a Gift Card For Sombody In Canada

Simple enough question. Talked to the itunes support and they said got to the Apple Canada itunes store. I did and when I try and purchase a card it opens my itunes account in the US where you can only buy US applicable cards. I suspect this is a futile effort.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might do this.
Mike

Dave, I understand the restriction, but follow the logic in this example (I hope it's logical. Feel free to punch holes in it). I think it could work (at least for e-mailed, virtual gift cards.)
We have a purchaser with an account in the iTunes store of country A, and a recipient who uses (or would use) the iTunes Store in country B.
1) The purchaser (in country A) is restricted to buying only gift cards in the online iTunes store of country B. No music, movies, TV shows or anything else copyrighted. Only gift cards. This is merely a matter of programming. Right now, I can go onto the US iTunes store and listen to the 30-second samples of tracks, I can browse the music and movies. I just can't purchase them. Lift that restriction for gift cards. They are geniuses out there at Apple. I'm sure it can be done.
2) In order for the gift card to be valid and redeemable, the purchaser must enter the e-mail address of the recipient's account - a valid, open account in the iTunes store of country B (meaning the recipient's credit card info is already known to Apple.) This way, Apple knows that the gift card purchased in iTunes store B will be redeemed by someone who has an account in iTunes store B, and therefore any music purchased would be from iTunes store B and the agreement between Apple and the record companies won't be violated. As explained in my last post, it would not be cross-border shopping, either, as the entire transaction (purchase & redemption of the gift card, and the downloading of any copyrighted material after the gift card has been redeemed) would take place in country B.
If the purchaser doesn't know the account address of the recipient, the purchaser can ask the recipient for it. I know, as it's a gift, it kind of ruins the surprise if you have to ask the recipient what their iTunes account address is, but I'd give up that surprise the first time around to be able to give gift cards to friends and family who live in other countries in the future.
3) If the Recipient doesn't have an account yet, in order to redeem the gift card, the recipient has to open an account on iTunes store B, using the e-mail address the purchaser used to send the gift card. But in order to open the account, the recipient has to enter valid credit card info for purchases in country B's iTunes store. If the recipient can't do that, the gift card isn't valid and the purchaser just has wasted their money. No music was purchased, and therefore, again, the agreement between Apple and the record companies isn't broken.
Does this make sense? I think it's do-able.

Thunderbolt card for older mac???

I have a user with a mac pro 2009 vintage. Has a mini display port. She just got a T-bolt monitor, but the MDP does not recognize it at all! Tried zapping the P-RAM and detecting displays in sys prefs/displays. No joy!
Tried the T-bolt monitor on another T-bolt mac and it works fine, so it's not the monitor.
Tried on yet another MDP only mac, and it does not work!!
I thought the video was supposed to work, but not the ports on the back if you plugged it into a MDP mac. NO?????
Does anyone know if there is a card that can be installed to create a T-bolt port on the mac pro 2009 model? I've not found anything yet on the net, so thought I'd ask!
User cannot afford to buy a new mac pro, unfortunately.
Thanks,
Lisa

Crud that is what I was afraid of! Why does Apple say it works then? Obviously it doesn't.
Thanks,
Lisa
