Elecetricity leakage on the body of mac pro while charging

I bought a new mac pro a few days back and noticed that the body leaks current when connected to the charging point without the extension cord. I got the machine changed and after two days of waiting I got a machine with the same problem. Its a quality issue which Apple seems to be aware of but would not admit to me openly. I checked the forums and looks like this is a know problem the solution to which is to use the extension cord. Apple shld simply add an earthing pin to the white adaptor instead. Till then I will have to live with this defective machine and curse apple simply because I do not have the luxury of taking yet another day off from work and then wait for three day for the service centre to acsertain "that there indeed is a problem" and then go back on the third day to pick up the replacement. I have to admit that the service and quality was much below what I expected.

I feel the same in my iphone4. While charging through electricity i can feel the charge in the headphone slot.
For ex- when i am charging my phone and talking at the same time my ear is in contact with the headphone slot which is on the upper part of the iphone. And i can feel the charge in my ear. Charge is low.
Plz lemme knw if its fine or do i need to visit the service center.

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Can i expand the processor of mac pro w/ an acceleration card?

Can i expand the processor of mac pro w/ an acceleration card?
If yes, what is compatible w' mac pro (2007) duo dual core?

Are you certain your work is compute-bound?
Insufficient RAM memory or too much competition for too few drives causes a system to have unused processor power, but complete the work too slowly.

How can I have two displays mirrored (4 total) on the mid-2013 mac pro?

Hello.
I have the mid-2013 Mac Pro (last model with PCIe slots). I would like to use 4 monitors; two in the regular extended desktop configuration, with two more that simply mirror the first two. I am sure I need some kind of splitter, or do I need another graphics card?

I am sure I need some kind of splitter
Another alternative is to get enough ports on display cards and use the Mirroring feature in Mac OS X. Any display can be mirrored with any other display by dragging the icon for a display onto the Icon for one you wish to mirror. The resolutions will be reset to one that can accommodate both displays.
This works without adding ANY overhead if the two displays being mirrored are on the SAME display card.

Is the late 2013 mac pro compatible with 10.8.5

Is the late 2013 mac pro compatible with 10.8.5

No, except through emulation inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

Nvidia 8800GT video card in the First Generation Mac Pro

This message is a bit of advice if you install the new Nvidia 8800GT video card in the first generation Mac Pro. The advice is keep your old video card. The old video card will be needed if you ever need to reinstall the OS X operating system. This new card needs the video drivers (kernel extensions) that are in OS X leopard 10.5.2 or later. With this video card installed, both the OS X original installation disk that came with this computer and the OS X leopard upgrade disks will cause a kernel panic when booted up. This is because they do not contain the kernel extensions needed for this video card. There is a question. Does anyone know how to create and burn a reinstallation DVD with OS X leopard version 10.5.2 on it? This would help solve this reinstallation problem

this is a advisory to whom it may concern
here my latest reply from a apple product specialist how was very good and helpful but only
give me this to my upgrade answer !
i want to upgrade my graphic card to 8800 and run tiger on my 1st gen macpro
here it goes:
"This article indicates what cards are supported in what machines: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305346
Your Mac Pro is the first generation, and did not have PCI-Express 2.0 slot like the current generation does have.
Unfortunately, we don't foresee the release of any drivers for the 10.4 OS on this machine.
In regards to the second issue, we also don't support two video cards in two slots, using a different one for eash OS, there is no supported way to do this."
"Unfortunately, the latest version of the Mac Pro will not run Tiger, as it was manufactured after the release of Leopard, therefore the drivers for the machines hardware will not be available on Tiger."
hope thats cleared some ones Q.
kindly

Will the late 2013 Mac Pro boot from an external drive (4Tb, USB 3) with a cloned Win7 x64 partition on it?

Hello all,
I ordered a CTO Mac Pro for heavy rendering and animating work, and I am planning on using bootcamp to install a windows partition (for 3DsMax). As I am now using a HP Elitebook 8770W that has several valuable files and projects on it, I have bought a Seagate 4Tb external Desktop Drive that uses USB 3.0 to use as a backup drive. Now, as I saw that Bootcamp Assistant only supports installing a x64 version of Windows 8, my question is:
Will a late 2013 Mac Pro using bootcamp assistant boot from an external USB drive with a cloned partition running x64 win7? Or do I really have to buy Windows 8 and install that to my internal SSD, and then use the migration assistant to copy over my projects?
Thanks!

Posted? or found in new builds?
BCA should really just pull whatever the latest drivers are when run.
If it is with how it partitions and sets up nMP and its partition for Windows that is another matter and makes sense.
Some people want UEFI native booting in Windows, and my experieince with that on PCs has been that it boots faster and runs well, but has different partitions that it wants. For one thing, there is now a backup "system reserved" partition, just as Apple GUID has some volume information blocks and backup and areas that were once optional (and if format erase was not able to, it would not create one) are now mandatory.
Windows 8.1 is req'd, reason a backup should be a big must - is it might overwrite and use another OS's partition table entries. Especially when doing UEFI install.
There was something about which linux OS was safe and how they would each add entries in the table, but one would not place nice. That one had to be done first or not at all.

Purchasing a Mac Pro while visiting the USA

Well I am up for a a new Mac, my aging (but not out) G4 MDD (Dual 867) is struggling with latest app releases, especially iDVD, iMovie and iPhoto with no chance of using the latest release pro apps. Aperture looks like a very good upgrade from iPhoto, and I am eager to get a machine that can handle FSP and get off iMovie.
And the wife has agreed, only because I am visiting Florida in Feb.
The premium for Macs in Dubai is too much for the 2 Ghz its $690 and the 3 Ghz its $1000 over the USA price. So we thought that with the savings I could get a better video card and wireless options. Memory over here is a cheap as anywhere.
I know the 3 GHz model gives the greatest savings but all three models share the same bus speed and memory, it looks like only the CPU is different. There is a good possibility of upgrading in the future with off-the-shelf Intel CPUs, and I have seen the report on testing quad core Intel CPUs, not sure if it is real and not a hoax but that gives hope for upgrades in the future.
The question is
Can I walk into an Apple store and ask for a non-standard config?
I would want to add the BT and Wi-Fi options and a better video card.
Customs in Dubai is not a problem, a maximum on 5% if I am unlucky. And at only 19kg it still leaves me with 17kg for clothes and stuff for the week.

Good point about warranty.
What normally happens over here is warranty is view as useless. The retail industry sells and sells and is not that concerned with warranty at all. Yes you can take faulty hardware in for repair but if you are not a company then you get the run-around and they will keep your hardware for weeks, they will say they are waiting for the manufacture to reply but experience tells me nothing is happening.
Example: I purchased two 250gig hard disks for my RAID, within three months one failed so I went back to the store. They had stock but refused to replace the hard disk, they insisted on sending my faulty hard disk back to Maxtor. They did not want to take existing stock because that's for new customer who will pay. After three weeks with no progress I had to threaten them with legal action before they did anything.
In the west most retailers would have confirmed date of purchase, photocopied it and replace the hard disk while I was in the store if they had stock. They would then claim back through the manufacture or distributor.
I have had my G4 for four years with no faults, I hope that reliability you also continue with the new MacPro. Otherwise I would fix it myself and not rely on warranty.
Apple does have a master distributor in the UAE so I can approach them, saying that I recently moved to Dubai from England but need my MacPro fixing under warranty. One thing in my favor is 80% of the population here in expatriate.

The saga continues Mac Pro setup

Sorry to start yet another one my first time here.After much reading and research, among reading over 50 pages here in this forum alone I would like some guidance on setting up my new Mac Pro (2008) dual quad core 2.8Ghz bad boy.
I just purchased 4 Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM from Newegg here -> http://tinyurl.com/6jmpbr Because these seem to be suggested for use many times throughout this and other forums. I hope these are the correct ones? They were also a great buy however, I am somewhat fearful of Newegg’s shipping strategy (lack of proper packing and UPS tends to toss shipments around like a pro-wrestler). In addition, I would have also like to have got them from different sources as not from the same batch but hey the price was too good to miss out on and I did not feel like waiting.
Now for the best approach, or approaches, to setting them up for best usage and optimal performance. 2 sets striped and mirrored Raid 10 I think it is ( preferably with a small boot partition for just the OS say 100gb)
or
1 drive for the OS and move users, and applications to a striped and mirrored Raid. I have read most of the links provided here and in other forums but I am still not sure the best route to go. Also most of the information is somewhat not as thorough as I would like.
(Background or helpful information as to my needs)
I do a small amount of lightroom and aperture toying around but not a lot. I do encode video some mostly for just personal use movies, some final cut studio occasionally, and I do have (but not used yet) logic studio (for one of my son’s to use). My biggest no no’s or issues that I would have would be in playing games like COD4 or moving large amounts of data on and off the machine which would frag out my system. I think? Most of the work that I would be doing would not push the system very much and I feel I have enough memory and space that I will need. Except for a backup this is where my next problem lies. In reading I hear advice to use superduper, carboncloner, to backup and re-image back to the system. From what I am hearing this is to defrag, while backing up the system. I have used both of these products but have recently started using clonetool would like feedback on it as well.
In addition to the hard drives , just after getting my unit I purchased 16gig of “supposedly” matched pairs from MacGeeks (Ebay store) at a reasonable price I believe -> http://tinyurl.com/6fgmq6 They all seem to work fine and haven’t noticed any problems and since they had such good feedback I decided to chance getting my ram from someone other the “the blood-suckers” AKA Apple. I really did not need a Mac Pro like some do I just wanted one so that I could have a great machine that would last hopefully for many years of worry free service and not have the burning desire to get a better unit. I feel this will fulfill my desires and needs for many years to come if I get the proper advice on setting my unit up the first time. I would love as much instruction and insight on the approaches Mac users have to helping a noob set his up. I can’t believe this all started this year in July with the purchase of a Mac book 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo laptop. That first taste was all that it has taken. In September this year I purchased a Dell mini 9 netbook and turned in into a very fast (but not a powerhouse) couch and coffee shop machine running leopard 10.5.5 even faster for the basics (boot up, surfing) than my real Mac book. I would love to get the full experience and pleasure out of my Mac Pro. I very much appreciate all the help and tips from the people in the Mac community.

Thanks The hatter for the input, I decided to test it by taking a drive out it would boot with three drives so that was a success. However, upon replacing the pulled drive back into the raid FAIL.
So a do over was then implemented.
This time I chose to do it with 2 sets mirrored and then stiped the two sets. Viola I tested pulling the drive and booting (ok) then re-inserted the drive back into the raid and booted then repaired the degrading raid and I'm good so at least if I have a drive failure happen before I get my backup strategy setup (more money for external backup) I should be good.
One note I most certainly understand this is not a route most people would take but it is pretty fast now and that pleases me.
Also at the beginning of this episode
I first tried to setup a boot (OS X only) drive and move users and apps to other drives and symlinking but that seemed to be even more difficult than setting up the raid. I think that is the preferred setup route but I don't have the skills to get r done <a little Larry the cable-guy humor.
Thanks and if you guys have any tips or suggestions please help a noob out. I appreciate all you guys for the help with this seemingly difficult setup.

The ability of the new 2014 Mac Pro to run older legacy OSX versions?

Being a video editor, I will probably be in the market to buy the new Mac Pro when it's released into the marketplace (which should be very soon).
So my question is...I usually retain several different startup drives, with different versions of OSX and different versions of editing software.   Let's say I have the new Mac Pro, the 2014 edition, but rather than edit a new project in Mavericks and FCPX...I find that I need to go back to a legacy version of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and FCP 7.   And I have that on a bootable external drive.    And the key question is...would anyone know if I could boot up on that using the new Mac Pro hardware?
My current Mac Pro is an older one, 1.1, and I have no difficulty in restarting and booting up from legacy drives containing older versions of the OSX.   I'm hoping the same may be true of the new one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks, John

your   1,1 as a backup, test system, safety net would be excellent. And if you have not already, some are very happy with cheap 53xx upgrades to 8-core and some other touches to keep it running smoothly.
I wish there was a bootable PCIe 6G card, not for booting but better support for PCIe 1.x SSD controllers.
I feel like I am hitting some bandwidth walls lately - seems odd but my i7 2.66 920 PC running 7 or 8.1 feels smoother and better in comparison to Lion 10.7.5 Lion use to feel perfectly fine, but background tasks, especially TimeMachine and CCC can seemingly bring it to its knees - slow web page loading for one thing.
If you can afford to keep the 1,1 and make some improvements to it, do so though. It's latest 7 yrs and may have a couple more years of life left in it.

Just got the new 2010 Mac Pro and the Mini DVI ports are dead

Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone know if they need to be "enabled" somehow?

Yes, the adapter does seem to go all the way up to the plastic shell. And the the adapters and displays work fine when driven by either of my MacBook Pros. And there seems to be some sort of connection being made because when the adapter is unplugged, the monitor goes through its typical "I'm unplugged" test mode phases with color screens and so forth, but when I plug it in to the Mac Pro, it goes black.
