I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

Yes, it supports target display mode. Windows can be run with either Parallels or Boot Camp.

How can I move my three SATA HDDs to the new Mac Pro without backing up?

Hello,
I am doing initial shopping for the new Mac Pro but have come to the frustrating realization that I cannot move my HDDs to the new computer for free. Sure, I can migrate my OS drive to the new one, but my other three disks inside my 2007 Mac Pro are in a pickle. I want an economically viable method of getting those three drives to the new Mac without backing them up, formatting or something like that. Also, I would prefer a transfer method that will rival the speed of it being internal. I don't think USB 3.0 can do this, but Thunderbolt 2 can? Everything I've seen online has been outrageiously expensive or requires me to reformat (RAID).
What I'm looking for:
Connect three or more HDDs of various capacities to new Mac Pro
Have the transfer speeds rival or exceed that of my current grandpa computer (Mac Pro 1,1)
Have it not be incredibly expensive (anything over $300 is ridiculous)
Have it be no more than two devices, one prefered unless they are individual enclosures that can either daisy chain and/or are inexpensive.
Safe for my drives.

> a 3 TB, a 1.5 TB and a 500 GB.
Most 3TB drives are going to be "green"
The 1.5TB may or may not
The 500GB is likely old, due for retirement if not worse.
A pair of two drives of 2TB likely would be enough for now and plenty of dual drive USB3 cases.
For a single drive and Thunderbolt docking adapter for using one drive at a time:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-Thunderbolt-Adapter/dp/B009HQCARY/
Under $300 case

Or this one is fine and USB3

NO backup? You DO have some backups I hope, or you are on thin ice or walking tight rope.

27 inch iMac, can it be used as a Monitor for the New Mac Pro?

Hi
I was wondering if it was possible to connect the new Mac Pro, that is coming out Autum 2013, to an iMac 27 so as to use the iMac as it's monitor?

Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924
I would say: yes, according to above article new mac pro should match requirements but until new mac it's not released yet there won't be more info.

Can video cards for the new Mac Pro be installed in the field?

Current Configuration of the new Mac Pro is as follows:

Graphics
2X AMD FirePro D500
Hard Disk
1 TB

USB
Ports
4-USB 3.0;
6-Thunderbolt
1- HDMI
Netwk Interface

My question is can the Graphic Display cards be removed and replaced in the field by an experience Mac Technician?
Any special tools required?

Now here is the back, showing the heatsink paste still in place, and the thermal pads used to cool the RAM chips to the central cooler:
note that the two cards are not interchangeable -- they have their power lugs on opposite sides. One card has chips to support actual display output to the thunderbolt Busses, the other card has none, but has the custom micro-PCIE slot for the PCIe SSD "stick".
One reason for this design is that to make a leap forward, you would have to water-cool the slots for a traditional form-factor PCIe slot Mac pro. Then do it again to include a second GPU. In my opinion, this model Mac Pro is about conquering the cooling problem of this much CPU and GPU compute-power in one box.
NVIDIA graphics card replacements? maybe eventually, but not at this writing.

Where can I download Premier and Photoshop Elements 10.0? Or can I use my old serial numbers for the new versions?

I have changed computers since purchasing these programs in 2012 and want to install them on my new machine.

You should deactivate them on the old machine if you no longer intend to use them there. Serial numbers are version specific so yours will only work with version 10.

Can a genuine Apple European cord for the new Mac Pro and the Thunderbolt display be ordered from Apple?

The title says it all. When I move to Europe I know I can use adapter plugs, but I would feel more secure, considering the cost of my Apple equipment, using Apple European power cords.
So, is it possible to order these parts from Apple?

The computer-end will be a fairly standard IEC-13 plug:

Can RAM for the previous Mac Pros be used in the new revisions?

I ordered a Mac Pro last month along with 2 4GB RAM kits from Crucial (see details below)
4GB kit (2GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 memory module
Module Size: 4GB kit (2GBx2)
Package: 240-pin DIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Fully Buffered • ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 72
The RAM has arrived but the Mac Pro is yet to ship and today I received an email from Apple I can:
1. Keep your original Mac Pro order at the same price.
2. Cancel this order and place an order for the new Mac Pro.
The RAM kits cost me £360 already so i hope i can use use the sticks in the new machine. Anyone know the answer to this? Before I decide what to do.
Thanks...

Memory page updated:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304235
Crucial should be understanding, one of the best in customer support - and satisfaction. And most likely to have worked with Apple to have chips.
DDR2 PC2-6400/DDRII-800
This is NOT for Apple Mac Pro, just an "example."

How late is the new Mac Pro?

Hi! My name is Alvaro and I would like to know how much time have you had to wating for the new Mac Pro since you order untill you get it. I ordered mine last monday (january 20th) and it was the first day that the apple store put "march" as a date of shipment.
I'm excited!!
Thank you!

Folks been waiting for YEARS for a new mac, I suspect there is a lot of pentup demand, especially as Europe has been w/o a Mac Pro replacement or for sale for a year almost now.
Some production and manufacuring lines get shutdown during holidays around the world and you can't just push a switch when it comes to some electronic parts, wafers. And even some early production can reveal the need for changes, new firmware, and other changes. Even the operating system that they ship with is likely showing newer builds every couple weeks until they reach a universal shipped build.
So in some ways the delay can work in your favor. The first 3-4 months are often when they have a chance to test the hardware in the field. Getting software updates from vendors who also need to get their hands on new machine to see that it works properly - even FinalCut Pro 10.1 is seeing changes and improvements in how well it behaves, and that is an Apple suite.
Long overdue. Summer of 2010 will afteralll be 4 yrs since the last Mac Pro configuration, which was only an "enhanced" Early 2009 model itself. That makes it 5 yrs on the same socket and base motherboard.

I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?

Yes, you can use the Mail app on the iPod for your internet mail provider. Go to your provider's mail support website to find out how to set up the account on the iPod. They probably will not have instructions for an iPod but the one for the iPhone should do.

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.
