Can I put my iMac HD into my Mac Pro?

I recently purchased a new 1 TB drive for my Late 2006 iMac, installed lion and transferred all my data from an older computer. I just recently was given a Mac Pro Early 2009 unit with only 640 GB in there. I'd like to use my new 1TB as it is compatible with the Mac Pro, and I was wondering if I could remove the 1 TB drive from the iMac and merely install into the Mac Pro as the primary drive with the OS? The goal being to not have to reinstall everything on a new drive in the Mac Pro, and then run a migration of over 400 GB. Would this work, what are my risks?
If this would work, I'd just wipe the 640 GB and put in the second slot and use for additional storage or backup.

All SATA 3.5 in form-factor drives are compatible, and SATA 2.5 in drives can be used with an adapter for proper mounting.
The Mac Pro, with its multiple drive bays, can get a big performance boost by establishing a "Boot Drive". This is a drive with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files for paging/swap. User files are moved off to a data-only drive or drives, and only the Admin account used for actual administration (not daily use) is left on the boot drive for emergencies. You may want to think about transitioning to a Boot Drive setup in the future.

Can I put two GT120's in a Mac Pro?

I just put a ATI 4870 in my Mac Pro and I took out the standard GT120. My father has a Mac Pro as well and I thought about putting the card to use by installing it in his Mac Pro.
Both our Mac Pros are the most recent version. Only difference is that his is 4 core and mine is 8.
So can I do this? Can I put two GT120's in his Mac Pro, and would it even make a difference for him. He mainly uses Aperture 2, and Office apps.

Two cards only allow more displays to be connected.
Rendering for all displays is still done with only the primary card.
The information is then passed along the PCIe bus to the additional cards.
What additional cards actually do is to increase bandwidth loading of the PCIe bus, which can result in a net decrease in performance.
Some applications are not multi card aware, and can result in negative performance.
One example is the case of two identical cards and FCP:
http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/non-linear-editing-mac/145449-dual-graphics-cards-ma c-pro-final-cut-pro.html
Note that the "solution", that is to use two different cards, is a result of the fact that rendering occurs on only one card.

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 10.5.4

Yes, 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.

Can I put a mini DVD into my Mac?

I am trying to transfer my home movies onto my Mac from mini dvds.is it ok to put these mini dvds into the Mac slot??

Do not do that!!!!!!!!!! The user's manual expressly warns you not to insert anything but standard sized CDs and DVDs. Mini discs will get stuck and not eject.

Can I use an iMac to control a mac pro

I have a 2008 Mac pro that's working well. Since I'm doing a lot a video creation that needs to go to DVD I'm not ready to give it up. but I see the need for a more modern machine for some of the newer software I would like to use. so here is the question.
Can I use a new iMac as my primary machine, and send the video files to the mac pro for rendering, compression, and storage?
also can I boot up an older OS (snow leopard) from a disk on the mac pro?
thanks

You can use file share

You can use remote desktop to control hte Pro by another computer

If we lose our wi-fi at work can we plug a 4g dongle into our Mac pro? (tower not laptop)

We have wi-fi connection at work which unfortunately went down the other week. My boss is asking if we had a 4g dongle could we plug it into one of our Mac's?
My Mac is on 10.6.8 - 2x3 Ghz Quad-core Intel Xeon

Yes as long as you can find drives compatible with the installed OSX version.

Can I put two iMac's back to back on the same desk. I noticed the computers feeling hot.

Can I put two iMac computers back to back on the same desk - I share a table with my husband and our computers have to be placed back to back. I noticed the tops of the computers feel hot!

There should definitely be a little space between them to allow for ventilation, but it's normal for the top area to get hot.

Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report

Hi,
Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report?
I want to create a report and an item "text area" (say P1_TEXT) which can let user to input a SQL query(they are all technical users and knows SQL very well). Then, I use a bind variable (that text area) to store the SQL statement. Then, I add a submit button and I want to use the following to output the report:
select * from (:P1_TEXT);
Do you think it is possible to do that? Any known limitations for APEX in this area?
Thanks a lot,
Angela

You can, but make sure it's what you really want to do. Make sure you are VERY familiar with SQL Injection. Most people who know what it is, go out of their way to prevent SQL Injection. You're going out of your way to allow it.
You can try using &P1_TEXT. instead of bind variable syntax. Bind variables are one of the best ways to prevent SQL Injection, which is why it's not working for you.
Once again, I strongly urge you to consider the implications of your app, but this suggestion should get it working.

Can I take the old hard drive from a Mac Pro G5 and put it into a Mac Pro Dual Xeon?

Hello,
I have an old Mac Pro G5 that still runs fine but the video card is bad so you can't see anything. Can I take the hard drive out of the G5 and put it into the Mac Pro Xeon without losing the data on it?
Thanks!

jenniferfromescanaba wrote:
Even if I go from the hard drive on the G5 to the next generation up from the G5 and put in that hard drive into that next generation up from the G5? Isn't the mounting nearly the same?
The storage bays are physically different from those in a G5. G5's had two bays in ther upper reat of the chassis, the Mac Pros have four slots running front-to-rear two thirds of the way up the chassis.
But as The Hatter says, you can use the G5 drives but may need to "manage" the data transfers.

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.
