Firewire HDs vanish from Mac Pro
I have a series of hard drives connected to my Mac Pro via the rear Firewire 800 connection. This morning, they had all disappeared from the desktop. The connections appear to be fine: the drives all power off if they're not connected to the computer, and they all seem to be working (lights on, disks spinning as normal). Any ideas?
Reset the FW ports and bus; find a better make of FW cases; insure they have latest firmware for FW bridge chipset; check power adapters.
Series: too many and daisy chained; add PCIe FW800 (Sonnet, Aaxeon etc) or switch to native SATA.

How to delete applications from mac pro?
I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
First , If you installed from apple app store it will be really easily just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No don't delete me I am helpful !) Ok yes that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case , you just skip first step come to here in order to save you some golden time .
You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash. do it again . take this one into the trash as well then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash After that all job done , it is been deleted ,
Well done !
Hope this could help all of your!
Thanks for reading !Your profile shows Macbook Pro yet your topic confirms you are talking about a Mac Pro - or

Multiple Firewire Connections on a MAC PRO 2008
Wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues with multiple firewire inputs on a MAC PRO? I will be downloading film footage as well as running a Presonus Inspire for Voice-Overs which also uses a firewire connection to the computer.
The MacPro comes with 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the back and 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the front. They ALL share the same bus.
You may, or may not, have problems. Some devices play well with others and some don't. For example, AJA STRONGLY recommends you put the io devices on their own bus, canon cameras often will only work when they are on their own bus, and so on.
I've no idea whether your firewire audio device will conflict with your video tape playback device. If it was me, I could pursue this a couple of ways. 1, contact the audio people and get their recommendation or 2, give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'd purchase a PCIe firewire card and connect the bus hog to it.
Good luck,

How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive
how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive
Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
To repartition:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size. -
Strange clicks going from Mac Pro soon after power up.
It may going from memory cage when temperature of memory is rising.
Any ideas?Or the graphic card if it has a fan. Or the fans if one is loose.
You should at least for awhile monitor the temperatures with one of the free/shareware utilities. If you push the system, you might even want to boost the fans from their default.
Try running Apple Hardware Test after you check for dust, loose cards. Could it be the PSU? -
Transfered files from Mac Pro to iMac OS10.7. Copied bookmarks using "backup and restore" from "Organize bookmarks". File copied correctly as bookmarks 10-10-11.jsom, but would not restore on Firefox on new iMac.
Firefox 2 versions use the file bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

With Mac OS X 10.4 you can use Firefox 3.5 or 3.6

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro
Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
JeffIt is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow

Migrating from mac pro to mac mini firewire 400 - 800 cant find computer
hi there
am trying to use migration assistant to move from old mac pro to new mac mini using firewire 400 - 800 cable but one computer cant see the other - any ideas anyone? have lots of large files so don't want to use wifi
cheers
MariaDid t d this?
Make sure both computers are connected via FireWire or ThunderBolt before starting. If you connect the cables after Migration Assistant is already running, the source computer may not be properly detected.
Restart the source (original) Mac while pressing and holding the "T" key.
You can use ethernet too:
Make sure that the source Mac and target Macs are connected to the same network, either wirelessly or via Ethernet. (You can directly connect the two Macs via an Ethernet cable if both are Ethernet capable. To make MacBook Air Ethernet capable, connect using the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter.)

Transfer software from Mac Pro 1,1 to apple laptop, possible?
Is it possible to transfer all files and software from a Mac Pro 1,1 to a new apple laptop (I havent decided which model yet)? I do not have all the original CDs for some of the software...will they still work?
The general answer is, Yes. You can use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant to make the transfer of your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences.
But not all licensed software will work. Some software is smart enough to know it's been moved and will ask you to enter the registration number. In this case you will need to contact the developer about obtaining a new one or copy of the old one.
I suggest using the Setup Assistant that appears when you startup the new computer for the first time. You will need to have the two computers connected. The best way for this is to use Firewire 800. That requires that the new computer has a Firewire port. Some do not. These models have only Thunderbolt ports. To use them you will need both a Thunderbolt cable and Apple's Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

Transferring WD Mybook Firewire Hard Drive to Mac Pro
Hello,
I was having problems loading my first My Book 500GB onto my computer. It turns on when I plug it in, but I can't get it to show up on my desktop, or disk utility with either firewire or USB. I'm pretty sure its the casing because I have an identical My Book that works fine.
I am wondering if I can pull the hard drive from the casing, and throw it into the mac pro? I've already pulled apart the casing, but decided to post this question first to see if anyone thinks this is a terrible idea. I tried searching for similar posts to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
DustinIs it a SATA drive or an IDE drive (in the case?)
If it is IDE (the connector is 3/4 the width of the drive) then get a cheap ATA to USB (or better, Firewire) case locally and use that case. You are probably right it is the ATA/USB bridge chip. These drives get discussed, not positively, a lot.
If it is SATA then you can put it in the Mac Pro in a spare sled. -
Firewire transfer G4 to Mac Pro
I've just purchased a Mac Pro and want to transfer photo and text documents from my G4. (I'm familiar with the procedure for booting the G4 in Target Mode, having done this in the past with an iBook and my G4.)
The G4 is still running OS 9.1 I will not be transfering any apps, plug-ins, downloads, libraries, fonts, etc. I only need to transfer AppleWorks documents and image files that are in tiff, jpeg, psd, or raw format.
Does it pose a problem that one machine is still on OS 9 and the other is a Mac Pro?
Thanks for your help.
Mac Pro 2.66 4GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) G4 DP500; G3 iBookShould be no problems for data only transfers.
There is no AppleWorks on the Mac Pro although if you own AppleWorks (OS X version) you can run AppleWorks on the Mac Pro. If you own the OS 9 version of AW you can upgrade to the OS X version (6.2.9) from Apple's download site.

Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook
Hello all,
I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
Your input is much appreciated.It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.
