Headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro

the headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro.. and they are saying i need to change the mother board .. is that true?

I had the tip break off a headphone plug inside my son's MacBook audio jack. Then it would not play any sounds.
The professionals at the genius Bar can only propose solutions that they know will be VERY likely to work in fairly short order. I am under no such constraints. The hopelessness of the situation makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible.
Since it was already broken, I had nothing to lose, and went after the broken piece with a very fine dental pick.
After many aggravating minutes of fiddling, I gave up and did something else for a while. I came back to it later and got the broken piece out and everything worked again. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

A Headphone jack got stuck in my iPad. Any ideas on how I can get it out?

I was listening to music, and I forced the headphone jack inside, and when I try to get it out, it snapped. any ideas on how I can fix this? can Apple replace my iPad for another one, or can they fix it?

You are the second person tonight that has done this and reported it on here. I would not tell them that you "forced it in" or that could be considered misuse of the iPad!
If there is enough of the "metal part" sticking out of the opening, maybe you could remove the piece with a very small pair of plyers or tweezers - but - if you are not at all comfortable with doing that - then don't do it. Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to remove it for you.
If you do try to remove it - pull straight out from the opening - don't pull out on an angle.

Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, then restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons until you see the Apple logo. If that don't fix you problem take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Apple Mac Pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core

Hey guys,
Ive got a real brain teaser. I have a apple mac pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core that wont boot.
The leds on the memory test good its all tested in another mac and working well.
The 9 leds are reading as follows 2nd led lit yellow. Led 9,8,7 Green- which from my research is good.
Ive also reset the cmos battery and vram, nothing.
Pulled the memory and video card and re-seated them also nothing.
The last thing i tryed was shut the computer down sit for 30 seconds then held alt and got the install mac os screen not a hard drive option.
Which leads me to think its not seeing the hard drive?
Any suggestions?

Starts up with fans
Makes the apple chime
The chime is generated in software when the first portion of the power-on self test has passed.Your Mac is working and has enough working RAM memory to start up.
You still may have problems with drives, the software on those drives, or your graphics card.
apple logo comes up
The dark gray Apple is loaded by the ROM boot loader in the first blob of software (before the file system is initialized). Its presence indicates your Mac can get some stuff off a Hard Drive, and seeing it indicates your graphic card can display something in a primitive way.
with spinning gear and just sits there for hours
It is stuck booting up something. Verbose Mode (hold Command-V at startup) will show you the parade of messages. The last five will tell you what happened.

How do i use the headphone jack as an input on a macbook pro 9,2.... the option just isn't in the sound app.

all i have is the internal mic option, can anyone help?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Internal Hard Drives for Apple Mac Pro

Hello there,
Does any one have some advice on the following internal HDs. I am in Germany and this is what I have found that I am interested in. I just don't know if they all are for Apple Mac Pro because the provider doesn't specify.
1) HD 1000GB Western Digital RE2 GP, SATA, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, RoHS compliant, 5 years warranty (not bad eh?) = 139,00 €
2) HD 1000GB Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ SATA intern 7200rpm 32MB Cache 8,9ms: 109,00 €
3) HD Seagate Barracuda ES.2, 1000GB, SAS, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 8,5ms, 5 years warranty: 214,00 €
Any bad experience with Wester Digital? Or recommendations for internal hard drives, they are greatly appreciated!
I was wondering too, does it affect the hard drive, that the bigger it is the shorter it will live? I love having 1T, and I already got 2T EXTERNALS from WesternDigital. But I am certainly concerned that the bigger they get, the more chances to fail the might have. Does this make sense?
I am also a little doubtful about internals, they seem to fail faster than the externals, is this true in most cases?
I just want to have the capability of storing my Aperture Library in an internal HD, for easy access and all the images on an external drive.
Thank you for the advice!!
Cheers!
E.

I would get WD Black, Hitachi (latest, not their earlier model) or Seagate (no need to spend on ES).
WD has been excellent in Mac Pro, I just would skip on GP.
I only had one drive with 4 bad blocks in 20 WD drives.
Personally, I would get 4 x 640GB WD Caviar drives for internal. They are fast, quiet, and run cool. And sells for US$80.

2008 Apple Mac Pro with SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC (UEFI)

Dear Apple,
Can you please add hardware/drivers support for the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 GDDR5 OC (UEFI) Graphics cards to the latest Mac OS X 10.10 operating system?
We have a few Apple Mac Pro's that we installed older Radeon 7970 graphics cards in (a few years back) and now we are upgrading the graphics cards to the newest Radeon R9 290 Series cards (Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC UEFI).
We chose the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC (UEFI) (11227-00-40G) Graphics cards.
The Sapphire Graphics card can be found here:
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&pid=2091 &psn=&lid=1&leg=0
We have been trying to figure out how to get this graphics card to work with the latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite. We are installing two Sapphire R9 290 graphics cards per machine.
We want to make sure that the OS X drivers support multiple monitors, CrossFire, as well as HDMI audio, and support GPU hardware support in the latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Has anyone managed to get the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 (SKU ID: 11227-00-40G) working in a 2008 or 2009 Apple Mac Pro?
We have 24 Apple Mac Pro's and we purchased 48 of the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics cards (to install into the Apple Mac Pro's) and we're trying to figure out how to add driver support to OS X for the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 / Radeon R9 290 to the latest Mac OS X.
If I go into the "Graphics/Displays" Hardware section it shows that the Sapphire card (in Slot 2) is installed, but it only displays the name "Display".
The properties of the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics card are:
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x67b1
Revision ID: 0x0000
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Any ideas as to how to install hardware drivers to get these graphics cards to work properly in OS X 10.10 Yosemite and to enable GPU hardware support in OS X and also enable HDMI Audio?

Over a YEAR has passed, and we still can't get Apple to add the latest hardware drivers for the newest/latest AMD Graphics Cards (AMD R9 290 series).
We have contacted AMD, and Sapphire, and everyone has pointed their fingers back at Apple, and said that Apple is the only ones that can add the latest graphics drivers to their Apple OS X Operating System.
So the problem lies on Apple, and Apple refuses to update it's operating system to support the newest/latest hardware.
AMD pointed us right back to Apple and said that it's Apple's OS X Operating System, and that it's Apple's job to add and write the newest/latest graphics display drivers to their OS X operating system.
AMD says it's Apple's fault. Sapphire says it's Apple's fault. Apple just refuses to do anything, and ultimately it's Apple's operating system and Apple's closed-ended ecosystem that refuses to allow customers/users to upgrade their Apple Mac Pro computers to the newest/latest hardware.
In the end, I guess the only solution is to abandon Apple Mac Pro products, and just start purchasing "Microsoft Windows PC" computers that we can upgrade and that have PCIe slots that we can just swap out the graphics cards (every year) with the newest/latest graphics card hardware.

Apple seems to be a "dead end" and they don't support their high-end customers and don't seem to support Apple Mac Pro (high-end) users. Apple only seems to be concerned about selling iPods and iPads and iPhones, and they've abandoned their HIGH-END Apple Mac Pro users that want HIGH-END workstations for professional use.
I guess if you want a high-end workstation, you have to go back to buying a Microsoft Windows PC, and start going back to using the Adobe suite, and just completely abandon Apple and Apple products all together. (Apple is not in the business of designing or selling "high-end" products anymore). Apple just designs low-end "overpriced" hardware, that you can't upgrade, and must toss in the garbage every other year, because you can't upgrade it.
Apple has been heading this way for years, and the newest/latest "Black Shiny Trash Can" (that is NOT upgradeable and has no upgradeable PCIe slots and no way to even upgrade the video cards) and Apple has turned into a "disposable" computer company/business that just builds "All-In-One" garbage computers (that become extremely outdated and must be thrown away every other year, because they are not upgradeable) and you can't swap out video cards using standard COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) latest Graphics Card adapters, and we can't even get the latest Mac OS X operating system to support the newest/latest graphics display hardware, it seems like our only choice (as others have stated before) is to abandon Apple products and begin moving/migrating back to Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro machines.
We can't get Apple to support their customers or update their operating system or support the newest/latest hardware in their operating system, so it seems to be a "dead end" ecosystem, and Windows 8.1 Pro and using standard PC hardware is probably a much cheaper/affordable route and it's a long-term solution, because Apple seems to come out with one nice product (every ten years) and then they don't support the product or it's users, or don't follow-up with Apple OS X operating system upgrades, and then you are stuck with very old outdated hardware because you can't even get the newest/latest drivers for the latest graphics cards/hardware.
The only solution is to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and use Windows drivers, but then why even own a Apple Mac Pro if we can't use Apple OS X and can't even use our OS X software, and the only solution is to use our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows PC?
We're really disappointed in Apple and how Apple fails to update Apple OS X and fails to support the latest graphics cards (such as the AMD R9 290 graphics card).
I think 2014 is the last year that we are going to deal with Apple. Starting in 2015, as part of our 2015 New Year's Resolution, I guess we'll start e-baying our Apple Mac Pro equipment, or selling it (as salvage) and begin purchasing standard Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro high-end workstations, and get away from the old legacy dead-end Apple garbage hardware and dead-end Apple OS X operating system.
It shouldn't be this hard, just to get some graphics drivers released to support the latest graphics card (which has been out for over a year now). The Radeon R9 290 graphics cards were out in mid 2013 (for over a year and a half, almost 2 years now...) and we are already coming up on 2015, and Apple still hasn't added drivers support for the R9 290 series graphics cards to it's latest Apple OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite.
It's a shame, but Apple has really gone downhill over the past few years. Nothing but really old and outdated hardware, and even their "latest" Apple Mac Pro is 2-3 year old hardware (that Apple is marketing as "new") and it's non-upgradeable, and you can't even run/install the latest graphics cards into it.
Apple is dead-end and it's not a place for "high-end" users anymore. I guess Apple doesn't care about it's "high-end" user market anymore, and is just interested in designing silly iPhones and iPods/iPads.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on both my Apple Mac Pro and Apple MacBook Pro

I think I found the answer to my question: "May I install my copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on both my Apple Mac Pro and on my recently purchased Apple MacBook Pro?" I think my question was answered in reading the text of the agreement for use of this site in the following:
"You may activate the Software on up to 2 devices (or virtual machines) at a time, if these activations are associated with the same Adobe ID for the same individual, unless stated at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation . However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously."
If this is correct, would you confirm. I know how security conscious Adobe is with their software.
Thank you! Be Safe!
Ken

Hi kennethf71183385,
Thank you so much for asking! Yes, you are entitled to activate your copy of Acrobat on two computers. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe Support for more information about activating Adobe software!
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara
