I agree with all that Hatter posted. Double backups (Time Machine and SD! cloning) is the way to go to be sure of protecting your valuable data.
Is your 2.66 a 4-core or 8-core ?
I have the MacGurus Burly 5-bay Port Multiplier eSATA enclosure with a mix of 1 and 1.5 TB WD drives. It has two 80 mm fans that are reasonably quiet but will drown out any noise from the Mac Pro which is incredible quiet. If you go the Burly route buy their LYCeSATA-4e PCIe (4-port external) card. It's good value at $184. You will need to download the card's driver software version 2.0.3 and reboot before using it. This card has a small fan and is quiet and I've installed my in PCI card slot 4. THis card can drive the eSATA at full speeds and if RAID0 can provide awesome data rates.
Good luck.

David,
The only change would be the Power Supply. Get if you can an Antec TruePower. You can get a True330W for around $55.00 and it is well worth it if you are going to upgrade from onboard graphics in the next week or so.
The GeForce4 Ti4200 is the best bang for the buck at them moment, and they are getting hard to find in the 64Mb 4X Version. If you can get one for $125.00 you are doing very well and will be very happy with your computer.
Good Luck,
Richard

I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
Please help a new person to Apple!

why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

Help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010 (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)?

help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010
Hi, I need some peoples help on fixing my laptop. I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2010 model, and it refuses to boot into either osx or windows. Every time I prevoiusly treid to boot into mac osx I got this error "panic (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)". there is an image below. and when I had treid to boot into windows (bootcamp) I got this error "A disk read error occured Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I have treid to restart the computer and gotten both these errors agian. The strange things is this deosn't always happen, sometimes I don't get any errors, and it just has the apple logo whith the spinning loading thing happening below (I left this for an hour and it still kept spinning, and never loaded). Other times it just show white whith no errors but never loads, sometime it lets me alt to select which os to boot into (nether work), but other times it just freezes and shows a mouse cursor on the white background. it's not consistent.
Most recently it has a flashing folder on a white background. I treid inserting my osx disc and went into disc utility but it doesn't detect my hardrive. It may be a faulty hardrive or sata cable but I dont know (I have links below). I was recently (well for the first time), defragmenting my windows partition, it hit temparatures of 80-85C, and stayed at that for several hours throughout the defragmentation, would this have damaged it?
I have scoured the internet and found many people whith very similar problems to me but none whith the same, and A lot of people saying that if you get the error you should just use a time machine backup, the thing is I don't have a time machine backup. The internal hardrive I am currently using on my laptop is a seagate 640gb 5400rpm (it's not an apple harddrive). every thing else it standard, standard ram and no overclocking, I was running 10.6.8 snow leopard, and windows xp profesional 32bit (split 320gb each, whith about 10gb spare on each parttion).
It would be greatly appreiciated If any one could shed some light on what I should do. I need the laptop working whithin the week (for my tafe work), but If I have to reinstall the OS's and programs it could take a long0I have a lot of programs and that could take a month. not to mention The fact that the hardrive might be completly fine and it's just a faulty sata connection. but then would I still be getting an error if thats all thats wrong?. and if it is just the error is there anyway I can fix it whitout doing a fresh install, there a error reading document blow but I cannot make heads or tails of it. I also have almost no money to afford getting it fixed.
also one last thing, I stupitidely inserted my mac osx disc 95% of the way into my macs slot loading drive when it was powered down (off). when I turned it on it sucked it in fine, but would that have caused any damage to the disc or laptop (I cannot eject the disc to check)
I have images of many of the things I described below. So any suggestions.
I have also posted this on several other websiets if that helps)

The problem may be that your macbook is'nt set to 'mirror image' if you go into settings, onto 'displays' there should be an option within, once youre connected, to 'mirror image' if you check this box, then the problem should be sorted, if not then maybe a dodgy cable or adapter.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover? I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over. It is driving me nuts! Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system? I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Pamela

There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

How do I set poster frame in Premiere Pro?

Does anyone know how to set poster frame in Premiere Pro? Wasted hours trying to figure this out and reading all forum threads and sadly still to no avail. Any help much appreciated.

thanks at JSS1138 for this and that appears to enable me to select 'set poster frame' (albeit it not on static images). However, when I export the video the (supposedly now) set poster frame still does not appear as the preview image. Any ideas on this?

Help setting up for spicific output sizes

This is probably a very basic issue but I need help. I am using Premier Pro CS4 and have a variety of digital media sizes ranging from from 320x240 to 720x480 and need to find the correct way to set things up so i can scale the different sources up or down to match my final out put size of 480X360. And the best way to get a specific sized scale.
Thank you!!!

Ok this is driving me crazy...I have tried setting up new sequences, new projects and everything I can imagine. I thought I found it when I discovered that setting the program monitor to 100% doesn't actually show you the whole frame...what was I thinking - errrrrr. I set it to 75% and saw that all my media was not going edge to edge as suggested by Stanley above. I re-scaled all the media and then went to the export window and on the output screen I saw the re-size box was checked and I had black edges again. When I turned it off it changed the output size to 436X360.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a link to the screen grabs - http://johnandtj.com/pics/
Picture 1 shows my desktop with the preview and program window at 75% and that I have the correct sequence selected at the top of the program monitor (sequences settings in Picture 2).
Picuure 2 shows my sequence settings and the frame size of 480X360
Picture 3 shows my export settings and preview on the source tab
Picture 4 shows my my export settings and preview on the output tab and the fact that it sees the video as too tall hence the re-size is checked and it shrinks the video and gives black left and right.
Picture 5 shows my my export settings and preview on the output tab and the video fits but the re-size is unchecked and so the size is 436x360. (How is this possible).
PLEASE HELP me figure out this insanity (or just loan me a gun :-)
I will be off line till late pacific time and will hope to fine a miracle answer to get me going on this late night session...
MANY, MANY THANKS!

Setting my classpath in XP (pro)

how do I set my classpath in XP Pro for my java software??
i have got j2sdk1.4.1_01 and i rekon that the path should lead to the bin directory??

I can compile (javac filename.java) without any problems, nut when i run (java filename), its saying that it can't fine java.dll and it couldnt find the Java 2 Runtime Environment!!!

Jim

1. Right click My Computer on the desktop, select Properties
2. Click "Advanced" tab
3. Click "Environment Variables" button
4. Select "Path" in "System variables" and click "Edit" button
5. Enter "C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin;" to the beginning of Path
6. Select "OK" etc....it's done
Depending on what applications you have on your system, you may have some classpath conflicts, but this should fix it for you.

Help! Time Capsule and MacBook Pro not talking

I'm really hoping some bright spark out there has some suggestions.
I recently took my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule to an Apple store due to 2 problems:
1. The computer was slowing down and occasionally crashing.
2. Whenever Time Machine tried to back up to my previously happy Time Capsule, it said it "could not mount the back up disc image" and failed.
They suggested that changing the hard drive would fix both problems as the time capsule issues were probably related to the struggling hard drive. They then planned to get back the previously saved information from the Time Capsule to give me back all the stuff from the old hard drive. After a great deal of trouble getting the hard drive actually changed over (after doing a lot of backing up to USB sticks), they called to say they had some issues getting the info back out of the Capsule because it hadn't saved properly last time. They didn't seem interested in pursuing the idea of getting the most recently saved snapshot that had worked (a month or so ago now) so just gave me back computer and a Time Capsule that they said was working but apparently with my info imprisoned inside.
So, I took it home and I've now got a computer (with none of my user info) and a Time Capsule set up for direct connection rather than wireless. When I went to set up my Time Capsule as something connecting wirelessly to the computer, it updated the settings but the Time Capsule failed to reboot and ever since has been giving me the flashing amber light. Every time Airport Utility scans for wireless devices, it can't find the Time Capsule.
I've already tried:
- Re-installing my original Leopard from scratch.
- Updating to most recent Leopard and Airport utility.
I'm nervous about resetting the factory settings on the Time Capsule because I don't want to lose the data in there, I'm keen to try and get it back somehow (I've backed up most vital things but there are always going to be some things I'll lose otherwise.
Sorry it's a long entry but I'm looking for all the help I can get!
Thanks to anyone who tries.

The new TC will need to be setup again in the MBP..
Just go to TM and select the target disk for backup again.
If you have issues plug in by ethernet and make sure the wireless setup is configured correctly.
Read the stuff in pondini about resetting TM.. that can help.

Help setting up airport extreme, clueless here

First off, I just purchased my macbook pro last week and am still getting used to the whole Mac world after having PCs my entire life. Today, I picked up a airport extreme base station to replace my old 2wire gateway. I was told that the extreme needed a DSL modem to work and I just so happend to have kept my old Speedstream 5360 ADSL modem.
This is where I'm totally lost. I have no idea how to set the network up or anything. To help paint a picture, my current set up is this: a Dell desktop connected to the 2wire via an ethernet cable. The 2wire has the DSL phone line in it along with the power cord. Also in the house are two other laptops that connect via wifi. The 2wire was setup by my friend who now lives in another state and I don't know anyone else who is very tech savvy.
So if I understand correctly, the way the new setup would be: DSL phone line into the speedstream, an ethernet cable from speedstream to the WAN port on extreme and then an ethernet cable from extreme to Dell?
Beyond that, I'm totally lost as to what I need to configure on the Dell computer or on the laptops. I tried for an hour or so but can't seem to get the hang of it. PPPoE, bridged, DH-something...all Greek to me. If it helps, I'm using AT&T/SBC.
Any help? Thanks!

try this ..... might help. I used this to set mine up

Need help setting up outlook mail on ipad2

downloaded the outlook app, need help setting it up.

Is it actually called Outlook, or is it called Outlook Mail Pro or Outlook Mail Complete or something like that? Those apps are actually by separate companies (ie, not Microsoft), and I don't personally have experience with them, but here are links to their support sites which should have the information you need (or an email address you can write to):
Outlook Mail Pro: http://support.codebeforedawn.com/customer/portal/topics/38871-outlook-mail-pro
Outlook Mail Complete: http://www.ikonicapps.com/outlook/
