Can you turn the power of a Mac Pro on using the wireless keyboard?

I have my Mac Pro tower at the other end of a table and I want to remotely turn it on with the Wireless keyboard or Trackpad.
I have it auto turning on in the Morning but would like to control it in case I shut down by accident from across the room.
Thanks!

The processors in the Mac Pro are socketed so they
can be replaced as long as the replacement processor
is compatible. You could for example get a 2 Ghz Mac
Pro and later replace the Xeon processors with the
3.0 Ghz processors.
That's great news! Thank you so much for your help. Does that mean im limited at 3.0ghz? Is there away to tell what the motherboard can max out to? Lets say I upgrade in three years and i want to put in a 3.5 or whatever may be available then. As long as its the same type of chip do i have that option? Or is 3.0 the max for the current intel motherboard?

  • Both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number

    both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number how can i changed

    If they are both using the same iMessage Apple ID, they "belong" to the same person, so it makes sense that they be addressed together. To use different phone numbers, assign them different iMessage Apple IDs associated with different iPhones. Alternatively, set one to "listen" to the phone number and the other to "listen" to an email address.

  • Why doesn't the iCal on my Mac Pro sync with the iCal on my iPhone?

    The iCal on my Mac Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and the iCal on my iPhone (iOS 5.1) don't sync - why?  Not very impressed with iCloud at the moment.

    You're looking on the wrong page, Anne.  Look at the top of that screen; you should see Summary, Info, Apps, Music, and a few other buttons up there. Click on the "Info" button. Then you'll find the options for synching calendars and contacts.

  • How can I tell whether my Mac Pro is using the bluetooth dongle or not?

    I got myself a bluetooth dongle to get around the terrible internal BT signal. When it's in use, it alleviates all my troubles and I can actually stroll halfway down the hall and still type accurately.
    However, it seems that every time I reboot, it must stop using the dongle and use the internal, because I then get the terrible signal of the internal antenna. The only way to convince my computer to use the dongle, is to unplug and plug it back in. Then I have to delete all my bluetooth devices and pair them again!
    So yes, I am seeking a two-part solution.
    Firstly, I'd like to know if there's anywhere in System Profiler, BT Preferences, Terminal, etc that will just inform me of WHICH bluetooth my computer is using.
    Secondly, I'd ideally want to set it to default to the dongle. If this isn't possible, at least the first part would let me know when I need to arduously re-do my settings.
    Thank you very, very much. Usually this isn't that big an issue, as I only rarely need to move my peripherals off my desk, but I got a Magic Mouse earlier this week and its extremely clear it doesn't have as strong an antenna or whatever as the Mighty Mouse, and it starts going erratic if I move it so much as a foot from the Mac Pro tower.

    I have the same problem and I cannot find any way to turn off the internal bluetooth without killing all bluetooth including the dongle. If someone has a way to turn off the internal bluetooth I want to see it.
    Thanks

  • Can I turn off XHCI on new Mac PRO?

    I am interested to get a new Mac Pro. I am a bit disappointed that there are only four USB3 Ports. I know that there are expansion appliances and devices that will provide a few more. here is my issue, which will determine if I am a buyer:
    I will need to turn off XHCI, reverting to USB2, and hopefully on a port-by-port basis. Now before anyone jumps up and tries to tell me that XHCI will support USB2, I can tell you for provable certainty that XHCI is not truly backwards compatible with USB2. USB2 is an emulation under XHCI. There are some devices that will not run under such an emulation. One of them is the Microtelecom Perseus SDR Radio. I am a collector and SWL enthusiast of 35+ year duration. SDR (Software Defined Radio) is the newest, and very exciting development in Radio. Few are made with MAC OS compatibility, so I run them in Virtual Machines, under Parallels. This works handsomely on my Mac Pro 1.1. But my Mac Pro is long in the tooth. I would like to replace it with a new Mac Pro. But only if I can turn off XHCI. Also please do not wax on about how the manufacturers of such devices should upgrade to USB3. That is not an option for radios that were made 10 years ago.
    There must be a way to do this. Apple must certainly want to market the Mac Pro to the Scientific Community, many of whom have devices which are USB2, and finicky about their connections.
    I would prefer to turn off XHCI on a port-by-port basis, or to find an extension/expansion device that is not a simple passthrough of USB.
    I asked this question at the Apple Store here in San Francisco today, and no one had an answer, or knew what I was talking about. My question was escalated twice to supposedly more knowable persons, none of whom had any idea what XHCI is.
    Anyone here know?

    No response here in 3 days, so no one knows.
    I did manage after a few tries to get an Apple Tech on the phone through the Sales Dep't. He said that there is no way in the Mac OS to disable XHCI settings, and while he recognized that PCs offer control through BIOS, that Apple offers no access to BIOS. He said further that one might discover a way through the Terminal app, but that Apple would not support that if done by a user. So I am NOT going to spend $3500+ on a new computer to have to hack it, and put Support and Warranty in jeopardy. No new Mac Pro for me, no sale for Apple. I may look for a refurb or eBay used Mac Pro 3,1-4,1-5,1, where I can drop in a PCIe USB3 card, and have both for my use, as I wish; nine hardware USB ports sounds good to me.

  • Can you Combine Virtual Clusters from 2 Mac Pros?

    Reading, searching support & Googling has not really answered this (perhaps dumb) question. Hopefully someone here would be kind enough to help.
    I have a 8-core Mac Pro running FCS2 with a 4-instance Virtual Cluster. I just added another MP 8-core edit seat & setup another 4-instance Virtual Cluster. Each MP compresses great standalone. In the Submit dialogue both clusters are shown as separate choices. I want to be able to combine them into a mondo choice.
    I understand how to distribute rendering between 2 machines but how do you distribute rendering to all 8 virtual cluster instances. Ticking share unmanaged resources simply shows each 4-cluster resource.
    TIA

    Page 27 shows an example of a part-time setup using every available workstation in the network (provided you have installed Apple Qmaster software on every Mac) One computer with FCS2/Compressor installed is the controller & all others are unmanaged nodes "with services only" as described on page-17.
    Not sure if you're referencing what your current setup is in comparison to what I was pointing to in the manual, so forgive me, but I don't think you're following what I'm saying.
    When you're creating true clusters with Qadministrator (meaning not Auto or QuickClusters), at least some of the services on the host machines must be managed. (And I point this out because you're using managed services on your machines)
    So, using Qadministrator, you must create 2 cluster setups on each machine - one where the 8-core box uses only the resources on itself (replacing the Virtual Cluster) and another cluster where the 8-core machine uses its own Compressor resources as well the resources from the neighboring 8-core as well as your MacBookPro. (And yes, you can select to use only 2 of the 4 instances from the neighboring 8-core.) But each cluster would use itself (the 8-core box you're seating at) as the controller.
    So is there a particular reason that you're using managed services? I've found Virtual Clusters to work - across machines, even - if you use unmanaged services (as Services Only in the QMaster preferences) then submit to This Computer in Compressor, with the Use Unmanaged Services on other Computers checked. But storage needs to be centralized (networked) in order for it to work reliably. Otherwise, the virtual cluster, in my experience, tends to determine that it'll take too long to copy material over and won't use the neighboring resources.
    Or have you covered these bases already?

  • Am I not utilizing the power of my mac pro? exports taking longgg!

    Hey there I just got my Mac Pro today and I thought I would see my exports go lightning fast however this is not the case
    some background info
    The footage is standard DV footage shot from a sony HVR V1U camera
    my computer is a mac pro quad core 2.66 with
    3 gigs of ram
    640 GB hard drive and
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB
    I am running my footage off an 1 TB External Hard drive connected via USB
    The file I wanted to export was 10 minutes, and I exported using quicktime conversion...use LAN/Intranet>..(I always using this setting when I want to upload the video to youtube)
    This video took about 20 minutes to export...which is usually how long my NORMAL macbook to export files
    so my question to you guys is, do I have any settings wrong in my final cut program, that I am not utilizing my full potential of my mac pro?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can I turn off my cellular connection completely but still use the gps?

    On an old so, I forget which one, I used to be able to disable my cellular connection. I realise I can still do this with airplane mode but this stops the GPS working too. The main reason I want this as when I'm hiking I want to use my phone as a GPS device but without any signal my phones battery lasts about an hour. When I used to be able to disable it I could get a good 12+ hours of gps tracking.
    Thanks

    It that case I'll test an workaround this weekend to see if I'm able to use it more than one day:
    Disable Auto Screen Brightness and set Brightness to minimum
    Turn Off:
    Data Connection
    Wifi Connection
    Under Location Services, turn off
    Cell Network Search
    Traffic
    Above just to be safe because GSM services will not be initiated
    Reboot phone
    Not unlock the SIM card so the GSM services wil not start.
    I'll let you know if there are some improvements and let's hope that Apple will allow us to turn off GSM services as well in the futures iOSes
    Regads,

  • Can you have different face time accounts when two iPads use the same iTunes account?

    I use one iTunes account for all apple products but want to use face time. Can I set it up so when we are not together we can face time each other.

    Yes. In settings, FaceTime, just add an email. Email acts as a phone number. When you place a call to the other ipad, just make sure it's to that email.
