My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still have 50 minutes life.

My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still has 52 minutes life without any warning. Does anyone have this problem? BTW, it is less than one year old.

You must have a MacBookPro, right? MacPro's are big desktop models.
Try the MacBookPro battery forum or their Usage forum.

After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

Can I always operate my MacBook while plugged into an electrical outlet, does this hurt the battery?

Can I always operate my MacBook while plugged into an electrical outlet, does this hurt the battery?

Doing so does not hurt the battery. When remaining connected to a power source after the battery is fully charged, charging stops.
It is recommended to go through one complete charge cycle at least once a month.

New Mac Pro does not include Keyboard and mouse

I had not noticed and forgive me if it's already been raised, but I think it's a low blow that Apple is charging if you want a keyboard and mouse with the new Mac Pro's. Sorry but in my opinion this is the height of cheapness. C'mon Apple every desktop Mac I have bought (mac user since 1991) has come with a keyboard and mouse. Does it really affect your bottom line so much to include these? I have always thought of Apple as a class act, thinking of the extras and thoughtful customer service. While this is not a deal breaker for me it sure gives me pause.... Sad.

Apple has almost always charged on the Pro machines the keyboard and mouse. Pros tend to want to customize what keyboard and mouse they use more often than people with "consumer machines."
If you go to http://www.archive.org/ you'll find that to be the case.

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

Current Configuration of the new Mac Pro is as follows:
ACES MacPro Workstation Seat
Processor
6-Core/3.5GHz/Xeon E5
Memory
32 GB
Graphics
2X AMD FirePro D500
Hard Disk
1 TB
Display
24" LED / HP
Media Player
2GB FIPS USB Drive
Mouse
Apple Magic Mouse
Keyboard
USB
Ports
4-USB 3.0;
6-Thunderbolt
1- HDMI
Netwk Interface
Ethernet/802.11n
Card Reader
NIST SP 800 Compliant
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.

Do I need to deactivate my Creative Suite 6 before I pickup my new mac pro? or will the migration assistant do all of that?

I am picking up my new mac pro tomorrow and wasn't sure if I needed to "deactivate" my Adobe products before I change over to my new Mac, or does the "migration assistant" do all the work? thanks for any help.

Nope. Migration does not work with any Adobe software. Don't even try it, it will cause a lot of huge problems.
Deactivate your software on the old computer. Install it from the original installer on the new one, don't forget to install all upgrades which are available in the meantime.

My new iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Help me my iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

Which battery life are you referring to? Apple's website states the iPod Nano 6th Gen will get "up to 24 hours of music playback when fully charged". There are going to be a lot of things that can change that. Are you using the stopwatch or the count down timer a lot? Are you using the FM radio a lot? Any accessories that you are using with the iPod? These will all have an effect on your battery life.

Bought new mac pro, does not work with sims 3.

I bought a mac pro 13" today with 2,4 Ghrz, 4 GB RAM. I bought sims 3 pets and installed it. But I can't play it properly. All the settings are on low, and there are no details. When I set it on high my sims flashes, and the game goes slowly. What can be the problem??

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/407986.page this is where you should be asking this question. seems like they need to fix some bugs with Lion.

I have new Mac Pro, where I have iWorks available. On older iPhone 5 and Ipad 4th I don't have it. Do I really have to Buy it for iOS when I already have it for OS X ?

I read that with new device I would have iWorks available. Please help.
The problem is also that I have another 5C - company phone, where I have it. But on different ID, because I did not want to mix it.
This is annoying.
May I for example switch my company phone to my ID for some minutes to get the iWorks on my ID and then switch back to company ID ?

It doesn't work that way. When going to ID #2 to get an app on the device, and then returning to ID #1, you lose that app, since it is associated with ID #2 only. If you want it on the other ID, you have to buy it.

New Mac Pro - Best bang for the buck

I'm looking to replace my G5 2.7 with a new MP. I'll be running Logic, Reason, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, video conversion, ...
I'm thinking about either the Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (8 cores) with 8GB ram
or
One 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” [Add $360.00] with 6GB ram
I know the dual Westmere will be faster but will it be $1k faster and will the software I run support the 2 processors?
Thanks for any input!!

That test session has been run on many different machines, it has become somewhat of a standard benchmark session for Logic users. For comparison, quad machines at considerably lower clock speed have done 50 tracks when the six core at 3.33 only does 45-47 (another 6 core user tested and confirmed the same result). I'm not sure what he means by "a lot of Logic is single threaded" since Logic can generally use up to eight cores - since he has only tested on one machine and not made any comparisons, he makes some conclusions that aren't correct.

Does it hurt the battery in the iPad, if I use it when it's charging?

Hello,I'd like to know whether it is harmful to my Ipad's battery if I use it when I charging it. And what is the best way to charge it?
Thanks.

No, it's not harmful. For tips on use and charging, see:

After Migration to new Mac Pro, intermittent slow downs, SROD's

I started with a my intel mac mini, Leopard OS was installed on an external Firewire drive, most applications were installed on another partition of that same drive. I bought a new mac pro 8 core, and an additional firewire external drive that I set up as my Time Machine drive on my old mac mini. I did a full backup of my old mac mini system and then attached the time machine drive and the other external hard drive to my new mac pro. I used the migration assistant to transfer files to my new mac pro. However, now there appears to be something occuring between my internal mac pro hard drive and the old external hard drive from my mac mini. When using some applications, Itunes, Logic Pro, Firefox, the ap will hang and appears to be trying to access files from the old external drive. I hope I'm being clear with what the issue is. I'm thinking duplicate files on this external drive and my internal drive are causing some problems? I need to know how to repair the issue, and preserve my data files?

Thanks for your quick response. I know I've been somewhat confusing here. I'm running the latest Snow Leopard update on my mac pro now.
Then please update your profile, as it still shows the mini and Leopard.
And I'll ask a Host to move this to the Snow Leopard > Time Machine forum.
All the aps and data were migrated onto the internal HD in the mac pro, and the aps and files and directory structures, etc. are still also on the external drive that used to comprise the OS of my mac mini. I'm thinking that may be part of the issue, but I'm new to Mac and not certain of that or how to fix the issues.
Depending on how you did that, I'm not sure everything on those partitions got on to the new Mac's HD. Check that first, via the Finder.
Let's start with iTunes and/or iPhoto.
First see if you have the same stuff in both places. Use the Finder to see how large each is on the external HD, and compare that to the iTunes and iPhoto folders on your internal HD.
If they're not on your internal HD at all, use these instructions to move them:
Moving your iTunes Music folder
Moving your iPhoto library
If the versions on the external are newer than the ones on your internal, delete the ones on the internal and use those instructions to move from the external to the internal.
But don't delete the versions on the external just yet. Eject and disconnect it, and make sure everything's fine. It won't hurt to leave the data there for a while, especially as long as it's disconnected.
If the music or photos on your HD are the same, or newer, hold down the Option key while starting iTunes or iPhoto. That will give you a prompt where you can select which one you want to use.
Once you've selected the ones you want, eject and disconnect the external. Then use as many apps as you can, to see if everything works properly and all your data is found.
Without knowing what other apps you have, and how they work, I can't tell in advance whether any others will be looking for the external drive. If you get error messages, you'll have to deal with each app that seems lost.
I'd be inclined to keep the old external "on the shelf" for quite a while, just to be sure nothing got missed.
Have you started doing Time Machine backups of the new Mac yet? When you do, you'll get a prompt about whether to "re-use" the Mini's backups. See #B5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. You probably want to select "Re-use," especially if there's a considerable amount of space on your TM drive.
