I have a Mac Pro 1.1 and want to put one or two large screens HD displays on it. What might I need to up grade and which HD TV or displays or the best for the money?
I have a Mac Pro 1.1 and want to add one or two HD displays or HDTVs to my computer. I do a lot of work with Photoshop and need a larger work area.
What do I need to up grade my computer? Which displays and or HDTV's might be the most cost effective to get?
Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.
WD RED models are designed for RAID and NAS and 7.2k instead of your more standard slower green 5400 rpm green models while still costing less than WD Blacks.

Clone to internal, TimeMachine to NAS is one way to go at it.

I have a Mac Pro 8 Core and Snow Leopard won't install from the DVD.
Any idea why?
Either your machine doesn't meet the [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html] - which I can't imagine would be the case for that machine, though I don't know that for sure - or you're using the wrong disk. Note that the gray disks that shipped with one machine will not work on a different one, unless they are exactly identical models. Or, I suppose, you've got a bad disk or hardware problem.

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and 2012 both running OS 10.8.5. Both using ATI Radeon HD 5770 1052 MB vid cards.
Using the standard Display that came with the Macs, everytime I'm working in Ilustrator CS5 or 6, the Document I am working on gets transparent, and I when I try to move a pallete or the Document itself, the pallet or doc leaves trails from where it was to where I moved it. The only way I can resolve it is to open the Display prefs, choose a lower res, then switch it back to the "Best for Display" option. This started happening on both machines after the 10.8.5 update. I have since gone through all the Pram and Board resets, even had Apple replace the Vid Card and nothing helps. Anybody have this issue. It only happens in Illustrator.Hi Marco@JustALittle,
I really apologise for the inconvenience.
I will have someone from the senior team reach out to you shortly.
Can you please send a private message to me with your contact number and the best time to reach you.

First, you'll have to determine if your iMac can run Mountain Lion at all. See:
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
If it can - and it would have to be a mid-2007 model; no earlier iMac can run Mountain Lion - then you'll have to get the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. From there, assuming your system meets the rest of the system requirements, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store.

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

Open activity Monitor and see if you have a 'runaway application'

Try a SMC reset:

How many OS can you have in Mac Pro 1.1, have 3HDD so 3 OS?
Hi,
Currently have a Mac Pro 1.1, and want windows 64 bit as 32 bit isn't that good, keep running out of ram which slows the machine down! I currently have 2 HDD in this configuration:
Disk 1: 250GB, mac osx 10.7.5
Disk 2: 500GB windows 32 bit partition
500GB mac extra storage partition
I may get another HDD if I can install windows 7 64 bit on it, i just have a few questions.
I have a patched windows 7 64 bit to allow it to install via bootcamp, but had problems before so erased it and installed 32 bit, (had driver issues on 64 bit, and non mac gpu so couldn't see boot screen).
If I install it on a 3rd hard disk, will it show up when I hold down command when i boot up? I want to keep 32 bit in case something goes wrong.
Someone with experience would be awesome!
So I want to install windows 64 bit ultimate on a third hard drive without tampering with the others, i also want to know how to boot to it if it doesn't show up in the mac boot screen!
I have 10GB of ram and would like to fully utilise it, that along with 8 cores would make a powerful machine, which is limited in 32 bit!
Also, any additional guides to install it on a separate disk would be good!
Many thanksIn iTunes playlists and folders are two different things. I assume you are asking about playlists. 100 will not be a problem.
However, it is unnecessary to create a playlist for Now 82. If the tracks are properly tagged, it will show up as an album. -
Hi, I have a mac pro 2008 eand I was wondering if it possible to connect to the apple cinema 27'' display.

I have a macbook pro early 2011, and I can't use AirPlay like it says I can. I do not have the "show mirror displays" or whatever. What the heck
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.
Several Apple Articles Regarding AirPlay

Using AirPlay
Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Other solutions are the Air Parrot, StreamToMe, and AirServer. -

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.
Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account. -
I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?
Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

I have a Mac pro with osx ml in a Ethernet connection and a apple tv with a wireless, there is no way I can see the airplay in my Mac pro
Mac Pros don't support Airplay. Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.
