Connect Mac Pro 1,1 to WiFi

How can I connect to a wireless router on my Mac Pro 1,1.

Probably the easiest to try is this

Finding a Mac Pro 1,1 compatible wireless card is another. Some of those interferred with and cause problems with 10.7.x

Connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N

connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N with the second ethernet port on the mac

This is how I've connected my Mac Pro to my JetDirect 300.
In the Network preference pane set Ethernet 2 up as shown (I didn't mess with anything under 'Advanced'.
In the Sharing preference pane select Internet Sharing and select your "Share your connect from'' port and "To computers using" port. Then select the Internet Sharing check box. I think this only needs to be done if you want to share your printer with others computers over your network but I'm not 100% sure.
Print a report from you JetDirect 600 to determine it's IP address (my JetDirect 300 does this by holding the Test button on top). Go to the Print & Scan preference pane and click on the '+' to add a printer, select IP, under Protocol select 'HP Jetdirect - Socket', and then type the IP address for your JetDirect 600. If you want give it a Name. It should automatically figure out the correct driver. Then click the Add button.

Connecting Mac pro and iPad - same account different addresses

I have been reading the posts here and am a little confused about FaceTime setup.
I have an iPad with FT preinstalled. My Mac pro at home should be able to handle FT as should my MacBook pro. I understand that I can buy FT from the app store and it will work on all machines with my mac.com account.
Where the confusion comes in is people outside my account. If I am away from home with my iPad and/or laptop, will I be able to FT with someone at home? Since the home computer is registered to my Mac.com account along with my iPad, I know I cant connect to the home machine using the same account/email.
Can my wife or kids use FaceTime on my home computer with their own accounts to send or receive facetime calls from me when I am traveling? If I set up a separate user account for them on my machine will they have to buy their own copy of FT to access it (since activation seems to be tied to a .mac account) If they use their email while logged into my account, can I change the ft address on that computer back to mine when I get home?
this new app store activation process has me confused already, and the additional address need for FaceTime complicates the process even further. Any clarification on how this works and the possible limitations would be appreciated.

Just to be clear. There is no FireWire connection for the iPad.
To connect the iPad to your Mac use the cable that came with the iPad. Plug one end into the iPad and the other into your Mac.
Now, keep in mind that the iPad requires USB 2.0 on your Mac.
Also to transfer files you need iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 which is the latest.
iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 on your Mac requires OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later.
Make sure your Mac meets the system and iTunes requirements before proceeding.
So start iTunes on your Mac. If it is iTunes 11.0.2 use the View menu in iTunes to view Sidebar.
Then connect the iPad.
You will not see the iPad listed like a hard drive on your Mac. It will show up in the Sidebar of iTunes.
Finally, does your daughter sync her iPad to another computer? If so use that computer to add the movie to her iPad. Connecting her iPad through iTunes to your computer and syncing to add the Movie will cause all photos, music, etc. that were synced from your daughters computer to be deleted.

I have an older model Mac Pro that isn't WIFI: how do I update it?

I have an older model of Mac Pro — the MacPro 1,1 — that isn’t wifi capable.a wifi network.
How do I update it to a connect it wirelessly to my router?
Would a PCIe card work?   If so, what would be the best sort?Should I, instead, get the relevant Airport base station?
Any help would be appreciated

Since the early Intel-based Mac Pro tower was available in a heavily customized version
with many extras as a BTO, and also lesser optioned models, the parts may be harder
to come by now after this passage of time, than when the MacPro1.1 first arrived.
Wi-Fi:    Optional AirPort Extreme card (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth:    Optional Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
Modem:    Optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A)
Fibre Channel: Optional (MA462G/A, MA465G/A)
Internal RAID:   Optional Mac Pro RAID Card with 256 MB cache & 72-hour cache battery backup
An internal Wi-Fi or BT component likely had an external antenna such as the last model
PowerMac G5 with a similar all-metal aluminum case, as that does resist radio waves...
The answer for issues with last model PPC G5 aluminum, was an external antenna.
Not sure what model or part numbers were involved in any of the BTO or dealer installed options.
So if you use an expansion card idea, note the metal case of the early MacPro may block it.
You could use an Apple Express, and use it via Ethernet cable, to extend a network to MacPro.
PS: The two linked PCI card adapters are not familiar to me, nor are the complexities of this
series of early MacPro; other than they do have similar issues with wireless due to metal case.
Good luck & happy computing!

Some info at the above link on various wifi upgrades. If you are having USB issues, maybe the Asus PCIe card would be worth considering. Otherwise, I'd suggest one of their USB adapters (I have two).

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

Connecting Mac Pro with GeForce GT120 to monitor and TV at same time

Hi - I just want to know in advance of buying the latest 8 core Mac Pro with a single NVIDIA GeForce GT120 graphics card, will this connect to both my apple cinema display 20'' and my Panasonic Viera LCD TV's 'PC Input' at the same time?
From what I can tell this graphics card has a small output port and a wider one - am I right in thinking the smaller one is a mini-display port which would connect to my TV's 'pc input' and the other is DVI which connects to the Apple cinema display? --- is the 'mini display port' something that connects directly into thr TV or is an adaptor required?
Thanks for reading!

The PC input is most likely VGA. A standard (old, but still common) connection port for most laptops (which is the primary usage). If you had a desktop, you would probably connect through DVI to HDMI.
You need a DVI to VGA adapter. Also check if you need male or female, as you might need an VGA adapter, plus VGA cord.
This adapter usually comes with all Mac Pros:

Then you just need to buy a long VGA cord.

Again double check the if you need male/male or male/female, etc.

After connecting mac pro to tv, how to view movie on tv from laptop

After I connect my Mac Pro to my tv, how do I view a movie on tv coming from my laptop ?

Hi Anita, I have neither, but I doubt it should be so, but you may get a better answer over in one of these two, since this is the Tiger/10.4/Printing & Faxing forums...

Connecting Mac Pro to Dual G5

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find it.
I have a new Mac Pro that I want to connect to my old, dual G5 via ethernet. What I'd like to be able to do is connect the Mac Pro (with a keyboard and monitor) to the G5 (without a keyboard and monitor) and from the Mac Pro access the G5's hard drive, I/O ports and make use of its two processors to run certain programs. Is this possible? If so, I'd appreciate any advice on how to do it.
Thanks,
Frank

I think you're better off connecting the two with a firewire cable and booting the G5 in Target Disk mode.
1. Connect a Firewire cable between your MBP and your G5 Mac.
2. Your MBP is running.
3. Startup your G5 Mac in Target Disk Mode by booting and holding down the 'T' key.
Then you should have access to the G5 from the MBP.

Connecting Mac Pro to Panasonic BT-LH2550 monitor for Color

Dear All,
I am planning to have a setup to connect a Panasonic BT-LH2550 monitor with my Mac Pro to view the footage pixel-pixel for serious color grading with Color from FCP Studio.
I am wondering what kind of connection I need to have between the monitor and the Mac. In fact, do you I any extras card or connector. Someone told me that as LH2550 has DVI connection, I can just plug the monitor to the computer, but I wonder if this method is accurate enough to show the footage for color grading.
I also heard about AJA, but I really don't need any capturing. Is there any another cheaper way (yet still with good color reproduction on the monitor for color grading).
Thanks a lot in advance.
King

No...if you want to capture this is a good card. But get the LHi...the LHe isn't available anymore anyway. The LHi will upconvert SD to HD, and cross convert 720p to 1080i on the fly. As will the MXO2...

I have connected my mac pro to my Imac so i can use the Imac sceen. I hooked directly with a dvi cable. The Imac screen is
immediately "taken over" by the mac pro when I make the connection. My question is, is there a way to disconnect without having

Connecting Mac Pro and Movies

Equipment owned:
17 500GB external hard drives linked to Mac pro via USB and Firewire hubs
My experience - limited
My questions:
If I buy the AirPort Exterme Base Station will the 802.11n be as fast as hard wired USB and Firewire?
Will wireless enable me to stream ripped DVD's from my external hard drives through the USB connection via Airport extreme wireless to my Mac Pro to my projector?
Many thanks
Rob

Not really. You can remote desktop from one computer to the other by the built-in Remote Desktop feature. You can't computer computing power

Using AP express to connect Mac Pro w/o airport card to internet

Hi, I am using an Airport Express station to connect my Mac Pro to the internet. I am doing so by having my Airport Express connected to my main Airport Extreme base station and have the Mac Pro plugged into the Airport Express' ethernet port.
Once I do this everything works fine and my Mac Pro gets really fast internet for about 5 minutes and then it cuts out completely. Nothing can get the internet working except unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in.
Anyone know what the problem is?
My Mac Pro doesn't have an Airport card and only needs to connect to the internet once a month for updates so it is not worth it to install one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Correct if you want to use the Thunderbolt connector on the Mac.
The curious thing is.....the Mac can connect to the Express at up to 300 Mbps using wireless, but will be limited to 100 Mbps using the Ethernet port on the Express.
So, if you are looking for connection speed, wireless may well be much faster than the Ethernet connection.
