Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

    Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
    I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

  • Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon Running Slow

    Hi everyone!
    I'm a professional photographer and could use some advise, and thanks for your help in advance!
    I have a Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 gigs of 1066 MHz DDR3 of memory, running on OS 10.9.5, and my main drive for applications is 1TB and has about 420 GB free. I have various other hard drives for storage.
    I use Chrome, Lightroom 4, Photoshop CC2014, Blogstomp, Spotify or iTunes, and I have Backblaze Backup running continuously.
    When I first got my computer I didn't have any problems, but over the past few months it's been running super slow. I know that LR4 has issues, but I want to make sure that there isn't anything else I need to look into before getting more memory. I mean even Chrome opening up has the beachball.
    Thanks!

    The output from that, post it, can be useful.
    More details on the hardware from it too: amount of memory (24-48GB RAM), any changes or upgrades.
    Good tips and advice can be found here, also pro graphics

    My guess is this is a 5,1 2010-2012. You could use a GTX 680 or later, it has good PCIe (the 2009 is somewhat weaker and crippled by sharing slots 3&4)
    A Samsung XP941 512 $525 delivers 1100MB/sec reads and 900MB/sec writes to supercharge your system - one of the best and few such, similar to the same SSD blade used in the nMP 6,1. Lightroom and CS love to be able to load and write scratch, graphic libraries. Bootable. You could use a smaller 256GB $275 for system in slot #3 and one for data and scratch in slot #4 if you wanted to go full out.
    You said it was fine originally so maybe something you installed, or an upgrade to the OS or something else that Etrecheck should help show.

  • Mac Pro 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon (April 2007) - Hard Drive Upgrade

    My hard drive is making rather worrying clicking noises so I think it's time to (very quickly) pick up a new drive.
    I'm a little confused about what kind of drive I should order. The drive it came with is a Seagate Barracuda ATA. Would anyone be kind enough to advise if I would be able to use an SATA II drive? I'm looking at the WD Caviar Black 1TB as they seem to have good reviews.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Please excuse my ignorance but when I look at my drive in about my Mac it says ATA. There wouldn't be any issues given this is an older Mac Pro from April 2007?
    There is an ATA section in System Profiler (from "About This Mac"'s "More Info" button), but it for the optical drives. The hard drives are in the "Serial-ATA" section.

  • Mac Pro 1,1 dual-core intel xeon 2.66Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT OSX 10.5.8 hangs on boot, can boot in safe mode, disc permissions verified, disc verified.  Please help me start it normally?

    Hi there, when I turn on my computer it just hangs on a grey screen with an apple logo.  I didn't install any new software on purpose lately.  It initially froze when I moved the mouse to get rid of the screensaver where it had been behaving normally.  When the screen saver went away the screen was messed up and everything was frozen and the date and time were huge and distorted.  I did a hard reset and I'm just stuck on that grey screen.  If I leave it for hours one of the screens turns blue and the other is black, but I can move the mouse.  A ghostly image of the cursor is stuck in the top left corner of the screen,
    I can boot into safe mode and everything is normal.  I reset the PRAM.  I verified the discs and the permissions.  I don't seem to have any data loss.  When I restart normally I still get the grey screen.  The only weird thing in the console is 24/09/09 10:59:27 AM kernel unknown SIGSEGV code 0 .  I would really like my computer to work.  Thank you.

    Have you run the check for non-Apple kernel extensions suggested above?
    It's easy, you just cut-and-paste the command into terminal. If there is any output, you just cut-and paste it back in here.
    Linc Davis suggests this as a way to find those non-Apple extensions:
    Please copy or drag -- *don't type* -- the following command into a Terminal window, press Return, and post the output (if any):
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 } '

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel i7 that came with mountain lion that I can't stand.

    This thing is so slow that you would think it was a 199 windoze machine.  . Can I erase it and install snow leopard?
    Sass

    Very good.  Let me explain to you how to install Snow Leopard in that refurbished MBP.  It cannot be installed directly from a Snow Leopard disk.
    First you will have to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You will need a HDD in an enclosure.
    You will have to borrow the use of a Mac that can install Snow Leopard.  Connect the external HDD to that Mac and install Snow Leopard on the external HDD with the above disk.  Then update it to 10.6.8 via 'Software Update...'.
    Then you connect that HDD to your refurbished HDD and clone the OS to the internal HDD (Disk Utility>Restore).  You should be ready to go.
    Ciao.
    This is how I did it on my late 2011 MBP.

    Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Fileshare between my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit) & Power Mac 9600

    I want to make my Power Macintosh 9600/233 (Mac OS 9) a shared computer with my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit)(Mac OS 10.6.6). I am using a Netopia Model 3346N-VGx DSL Ethernet Managed Switch to network with my Samsung printer and the Mac Book Pro.
    I also have a Power PC G4 (Mac OS 10.5.8) connected (via a Ziplinq 48" Retractable Crossover Network Cable) to a Farallon EtherWave 10 Base-T AAUI Transceiver, which in turn is connected to the Netopia, from which I can share files. All of this is ethernet connectivity.
    I thought I could connect my 9600 using the same method as for the G4 or by connecting the ethernet cable from the 9600 directly into the Mac Pro Quad Core. However, neither of these methods work.
    An additional stumbling block is that I have not used this 9600 for several years and am not sure of its account name. I'm fairly certain of its password. But because I don't have a second monitor for this machine, I can't muddle my way in.
    My questions:
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Oh man, what a dilemma...
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    Without a monitor on the 9600, almost none. At the very least you'll need to configure the server with appropriate network settings for your environment, and that can't be done headless.
    You might only need a display for long enough to setup the network, but you'll need one all the same.
    Once the network is configured your options are either AFP or FTP, but I'm not even sure the old version of AFP is supported anymore, which means you may need to fire up an FTP client on the 9600 and push the files to your MacPro.
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    As mentioned above, you're going to need a monitor at the very least to configure the network settings. I'd be inclined to say at that point you might as well copy the files off any way you can and put the 9600 to rest. If you're really, really fortunate and the 9600 has a CD burner I'd probably use that and count myself lucky
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    The 9600 shipped with SCSI drives, which no current Mac support (at least without a SCSI card), so there's no way to remove the drive from the 9600 and attach it directly to the MacPro.

  • Which OS for Mac Pro (3,1) 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon?

    I purchased my Mac Pro 3,1 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon  with 10.5 (Leopard)-

    Is there not a full 10.7 OS Disc?
    There is no official DVD at all, but there is a thumb drive with both 106 and 10.7 on it for US$70.
    On an older Mac, about 2010 or older, you need access to one of:
    • The Mac App Store ( such as on a Mac with a working 10.6.8 or better)
    • working Recovery HD
    • a bootable 10.7 Installer, on thumb drive, Hard drive, or DVD
    So for ONE 2010 or older Mac with a bad drive, you would have to buy the US$70 Apple thumb drive, or have previously made a DVD or Hard Drive when you previously downloaded 10.7. Or you re-install 10.6.8 then overwrite it with the downloaded 10.7.
    • another Mac with 10.7 installed so you could transfer Recovery HD to the down Mac with "Lion Recovery Disk Assistant"
    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
    On some 2010 and most 2011 models, if Recovery HD is messed up or not Installed, but you have a working Broadband connection [with DHCP enabled], the Firmware has been upgraded so it will boot from the Internet and do the whole job using "Lion Internet Recovery" as described in the second section of this glossy article:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
    If no DHCP is available [no Router upstream, either yours or your ISP's], it may not work.

  • Mac pro 2.66 Quad Core - boot drive mirrored, replace?

    All,
    I have a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core system.
    I got all 'sexy' when I set it up - loaded four 1-TB drives in the 4 bays, Mirrored the boot set, also mirrored the secondary set for data.
    I am getting ready to have these guys filled up (I do lots of video, pics, etc), and am thinking about 'growing' the drives to 2TB or even 3TB disks (mirrored of course, I'm paranoid).
    So I am thinking about the 'how' of moving my data to the larger drive, getting things set up.  I have not had any of the drives fail, so I haven't needed to do a swap out yet.
    Can I simply take out one of the mirrored boot drives, put in a larger drive, and it will then rebuild the mirror?
    or if anyone has some info they can point me to, I'd appreciate it.
    thx

    You cannot just add a larger drive and grow your RAID Volume size. You need to create an empty larger RAID Volume and COPY the data to the larger Volume, e.g., from your Backups.
    Mirrored RAID is NOT Backup. It merely extends the time to repair to keep a drive failure from becoming a data disaster. RAID gives you no protection from human error, crazy software or file problems that happen "just because". You still need backup.
    One of the best ways to get increased performance from a computer with the ability to support multiple Internal drives is to keep only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files including paging/swap on the Boot Drive, and move everything else off. This dramatically reduces competition for the Boot Drive and everything speeds up. A Velociraptor is a little faster, and an SSD is incrementally faster still.
    If that is all that is on the Boot Drive, you do not need to RAID it, since it can be reproduced from DVDs or downloads in short order. All your User files and Preferences are on other drives..
    Implementing this would suggest a single small fast Boot Drive, typically with an offline clone as Backup for emergencies, and forget about RAID-ing the Boot Drive.

  • ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB for Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core Xenon

    I have the option of picking up an ATI Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card to go with my soon-to-be-new MAc Pro 2.66 Quad core. I see know that Apple can upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB, but that card is not available to me at the moment. Will the 1GB do the job without overheating the system? Am new to the Mac Pros. Need it for the Windows gaming portion of the system. Am using the rest for graphics and photography.

    If the MAc Pro 2.66 comes with Snow Leopard, why would I have to upgrade my OS?
    OK. So, if got the MAc version, it would work A-OK without overheating?
    Thanks for your input!

  • Mac Pro 2.66 Quad-Core 1GBRAM, how much more RAM and HOW?

    I just got my Mac Pro 2.66 Quad-Core, and I had a budget so I left the RAM down @ only 1GB because I knew I could upgrade it later. Well later is here & I want to put more in it, but I hear it is a little more complicated than the sensless shoving of big ram chips into empty slots...
    I am a heavy user of Logic 7, soon to be of Logic Studio, and hopefully I will be using AutoCAD at home soon (for school). How much RAM would be optimal for me to eventually have? Right now I think I can afford to purchase 2GB more, but I dont know how exactly to put it into my machine. Right now it has a 512MB per xeon.
    Can anyone help me out?

    I just pulled out 1GB (2 x 512MB) simms in replaced them with 4GB (2 x 2GB) simms.
    I had added more memory as 2 GB (1x2GB) and ran out of space. Now I have a total of 11GB RAM:
    1GB = 2 x 512MB
    2GB = 2 x 1GB
    8GB = 4 x 2GB
    Leaving me with 2x512MB simms sitting in the box on the self. Sure wish I knew someone local I could give these things to for a reasonable price. Anyway, I wouldn't go any higher than 2GB simms (4GB) as that seems to currently have the best price/space ratio. Crucial is good enough and order it from NewEgg.com or MacConnection.com and you'll get a good price (I got mine at MacConnection.com).
