Can I use 2 Matrox DoubleHead2Go on a Mac Pro 1.1 ?

Hi there,
I'd like to us 2 dualhead2go in order to use them on a 2009 Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI outputs.
Can a Mac OSX system on a Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI handle 2 devices like that, one on each DVI, in order to have 4 screens ?
Or could I only do 3 screens with an only one TripleHead2Go on one of the DVI available on the MacPro 1.1 ?
Let me know if you have tested that or now a bit more than the Matrox website...
Regards,
Julien

If you have a mac Pro 1,1 which can only run up to Mac OS X 10.7.5, your options are somewhat limited.
If you have a 2009 model or any model that can run Mac OS X AFTER 10.7.5, there are many graphics card solutions you can use to support as many as six displays directly from your Mac.

Can we use FCP conviniently while my mac pro is attached to a LED tv

can we use FCP conviniently while my mac pro is attached to a LED tv (46inch).
I am afraid if the icons will also blow up/get bigger and would become inconvinient to use.

most large TV sets are still 1080p (1920 by 1080).
The icons will appear to take up more space (in square inches) on the TV, but will be "grainy" compared to your monitor. The fundamental size of icons and items on screen (in pixels) will not change. When you return to using a monitor, things will be the same as before.

Can I use a NTFS HD in Mac Pro for Bootcamp/Parallels?

Hi,
I'm a long time PC user who has just recently bought a Mac Pro.
I have a HD in my old PC (74GB WD Raptor) that I would like to install in my Mac Pro, with the intention of using this drive as a Bootcamp partition. The HD is formatted but in NTFS.
If I install this HD in my Mac Pro will it recognise it? Will I be able to install Bootcamp & Windows XP on it? Or will I have to convert the HD to FAT32 (where I think the max partition size is 32GB)?
Also, If using Parrallels, is there any advantage in using a Bootcamp installation of Windows, or should I just forget about Bootcamp?
Cheers,
Simon

Once you create the partition using Boot camp you can then Follow the steps to get to the Windows partition and format the partition either way.
From page 12 of the Boot Camp Installation Guide:
"NFTS provides better reliability and security, but you will not be able to save files to the Windows volume from OS X.
FAT provides better compatibility allowing you to read and write files on the Windows volume from OS X. This option is available only if the Windows partition you created is 32GB or smaller."

Can I use two graphics card in Mac Pro

In order to use the CUDA advantage in Adobe Premiere Pro I bought an NVIDA Quadro FX4800. The original graphics processor in my Mac Pro (mid2010) is a ATI Radeon HD 5770. Can I use both cards? How do I ensure that Premiere is using the CUDA architecture if both cards are installed? Does a graphics card work if no monitor is attached to it?

Newer cards have minidisplay port and then use MDP to DVI (active dual link for higher resolution).
Yes you can have an ATI and Quadro or GTX.
Most people, based on cost/performance go with newest Nvidia instead.
You can run up against the limits of having two 6-pin aux power connections available.

Can I use Thunderbolt Display with 2007 Mac Pro?

I have a number of newer systems with Thunderbolt Displays.
Can I get a video card? to put in my 2007 Mac Pro Quad Core that will allow me to use the Thunderbolt display? If not, what should I do short of finding a replacement 30" Cinema Display?
Thank you!

Shoot. I was afraid of that. Have you ever done anything so stupid!!!?
Thanks so much for the response. I'll try to dig another up. An expensive klutz move.

Can I use iphone earbuds with a mac pro tower? And with an extension cord?

I also need to use an extension cable because of my standing desk (tower is on the floor). I get confused with the 2-band jack, the 3-band jack, etc. I haven't been successful using a regular, radio shack type of headphone extension cord. Salesmen give me a blank stare when I try to explain that I have iphone earbuds with a 3-band jack and that it doesn't work with a regular extension cord. It's like I'm speaking Swahili.

You can't using 4-band iPhone earphone with Mac Pro.
You need to get 3-band earphone and extension cable.
I've been using iPod shuffle's earphone with extension cable osn it works well.

Supported GPU technologies (Mac):
- AMD/nVidia OpenCL for direct link in MacOS 10.8.5 and higher
- OpenGL for SG native
Supported GPU technologies (Win):
- AMD OpenCL, nVidia Cuda for direct link in Win7,Win8, Win8.1
- OpenGL for SG native
Note: Although SG not utilises two GPU's, it should run fine on your new Mac Pro and use OpenCL for acceleration

Can you use regular PCI cards in Mac Pro?

My G5 is getting a bit long in the tooth and I want to buy a Mac Pro. It says that it supports PCI Express cards, but I have several PCI cards in my PowerMac. Since I don't want to buy them all over again, I was wondering if they will work in the Mac Pro?

Yes, but not with an iPhone. The iPhone's Bluetooth connection can only be used with a headset at this time.

System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac?

How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Access isn't available for OS X, so you can't use it. If you need it, you have to install Windows on a virtual machine.
On a virtual machine, you can install the Windows version you most like and the Access version you need, so you won't have any problem using it. You just need a full Windows version with its DVD or ISO image and product key, and an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox to create the virtual machine. If you want to save money, System Builder versions are cheaper and you can find them at Amazon or NewEgg.
As you have a Mac Pro, I suppose you won't have any problem using a 64-bit version, but it's important you have enough memory. Open  > About this Mac, and check how much memory you have. I recommend 4 or 8 GB of memory at least.
After installing Windows on the virtual machine, you will be able to install Access there.
There are applications for OS X that allow you to run Windows applications without having to install Windows. Those apps often fail, so I don't recommend you to use them

How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
(I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

Can I use ARD to control my mac with Back to my Mac service?

Can I use ARD to control my mac with Back to my Mac service?
The with Back to my Mac service on you see your mac in the Shared column, hit Share Screen & your good - on ARD I don't see my remote Mac listed anywhere in that program.
Thanks

ARD, to the best of my knowledge, does not work via Back To My Mac. Certainly it's not an direct or obvious feature, though I can't say that there might not be a workaround I've not heard of.

How can i use iphoto pics on another mac across network for screen saver?

how can i use iphoto pics on another mac A across the home network for the screen saver on Mac B?
within iPhoto i can see the mac A's shared library AOK on Mac B but Mac A's library doesn't show up in the screen saver list on Mac B ;-(

Barry

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?
