If you format in Guid for Intel Macs, Apple partition for PPC Macs for Boot drives, then why do my PPC Hard drives Boot in my 2007 Mac Pro, what gives?

I recently purchased a 2007 Mac Pro for a song, swapped the CPU's for octo chipsets and proceeded to wait for new Hdd's in the mail. I was told the Hard drives in my old G5 would not be bootable unless they're in Guid format. Disc Utility confirmed to use the specific maps as well and yet all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch, although a few none universal apps do not work. So what am I missing, does it really matter which Apple partion map to choose from or is this a fluke?...

all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch
Yes, and what version of Mac OS are they booting?
>> They will boot the OS that is on them, but not a later one.

Early Intel Mac Pro--what are my graphics card upgrade options?

I bought my Mac Pro in June, 2007 and want to improve my ability to use it for games--right now it's a bit of a dog in that respect. I have a 3 GHz dual Quad-Core processor setup that my hardware overview says is a MacPro2,1 model identifier. My stock graphics card is the GeForce 7300GT using the PCIe bus. Any help would be greatly appreciated--I know there are some expensive cards out there for newer models and that there is some discussion on what is compatible with earlier models like mine, but I would hope that my $5,000 system has no viable upgrade path for this.
Rocketman

The card is dead silent on idle. I haven't tried it on any games yet, but with 720p HD content like .mkv files playing in VLC, the fan only goes up to 20-25%, and even at that I can't even hear it.
Idle fan speed is about 5%
Idle temps are 63 deg celcius (note that its summer, and my ambient room temps are hot)
Note these temps and fan speeds are under Windows 7 on ATI CCC. I can't get the temps and fan speeds under OSX, but I doubt they are different, the card is very quiet. And yes it does work under bootcamp
Aside from maybe dual flashed PC 1GB 4870s in crossfire, this is most likely the best gpu upgrade you can do presently; it is the best upgrade if you want to stay with apple oem parts.
There is always the dark horse: the GTX 285 from nvidia, however I doubt (wish) that it will be supported for 1st gen MPs. It's possible, though highly unlikely.

Game controller for intel Mac pro

Any suggestions for a game contoller for an intel Mac pro? I've had no luck with tatieboggle or with the Logitech f710 wireless. Running latest system. Thanks!

For three years I have been trying to get a reliable connection with the F710 for each OSX update. The macgamepads.com and tattiebogle.net solutions do not actually work for extended gaming experiances. In short OSX is lacking REAL controller support. And as long as I have had my Mac Pro it has always been that way.
There is a reason why people don't play games on Mac. I have a SSD drive dedicated entirely to Windows 8 Bootcamp because playing even the most simplistic game on a Mac is a god **** nightmare. You want the F710 to work? Get a PC or run Bootcamp - DON'T PLAY GAMES IN OSX.

My recent purchase of QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X upgrade doesn't do "screen record" on my Intel Mac Pro with system 10.6.8. Apple won't accept responsibility and refund my money.

QuickTime 7 doesn't offer that, but the built-in QuickTime X Player does. You may find another use for the key.

Usb midi driver for older Edirol sk-500 keyboard for use in Intel Mac Pro

I have just moved to an Intel Mac Pro from my old G4 Power Mac. I was using a Edirol (Roland ED) SK-500 usb midi controller in both Garageband and Logic. The old driver doesn't want to work in the new Intel machine. Checked Edirol's site and didn't find anything newer to use and nothing that addressed the Intel situation explicitly.
Does anyone have a newer compatible driver or some other solution for this issue?
Thanks,
Gord

SK-500 is a discontinued product and I do not think Edirol will ever release a Universal Binary driver. I'd suggest you sell it, and buy their PCR-M50/80 keyboard (these are awesome) or if you also want sounds, get the Roland Juno-G synth (128 voices polyphony, 1000+ sounds, full-blown synth and 5 effects processors). All these work as USB MIDI controllers with Universal Binary drivers.

Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier. See this tip if you must go newer. Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server. I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X. Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature. Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that. Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X. This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked. Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside. To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
Otherwise see the resources on:

Intel Mac Pro w/10.4.7 - I need to access a 2003 Western Digital hard drive

Hey another question for the gurus of Mac out there. Got an Intel Mac Pro running 10.4.7 and I need to access old information from someones else's Western Digital (internal/ external w/case) drive. It's a "WD1200JB-00RCA1" model drive from 2003. I've already tried using the case with firewire connection on both my laptop and Mac Pro, but it will not mount. I does get power though. I'm thinking of trying it internally, but know that the Mac Pro is picky about specific types and specs on drives. Just curious if anyone thinks I can make it work internaly without screwing up the drive or more importantly, the Mac Pro.
Apparently this same drive was used internally on a mac back in 2003, but obvioulsy an older Mac. Any tips appreciated.

That drive (according to WD) is a WD Caviar SE 120GB UDMA 100 IDE drive. Assuming everything is set-up correctly, external enclosures typically require the drive to be jumpered as and IDE master, then it should mount.
The fact that it doesn't mount is not a good sign.
You could try this internally in the spare optical drive bay - you'd need a 5.25" to 3.5" mounting kit. If I were to go this route, I'd disconnect the optical drive temporarily - the cables will reach better and you stand less chance of getting an IDE bus incompatability with the optical drive.
I think the default set-up for the MacPro IDE bus is Cable Select so you may need to look into jumpering the drive dor this (CSEL)

FCP, Intel mac pro crashing

SO here is the set up
Dual 2.66 Intel mac pro, 4gb ram, system drive is 500gb, AV drive is over fibre channel.
OS is 10.4.8 FCP 5.1.2
all is fresh install on new system, working good for the first week.
The issues are when I go to render out I get maybe to 75% then the system crashes, get the screen that tells me I have to hold down the power button etc.
The project file contains 1 stream of DV footage and 1 Livetype movie, seems to not like the live type, but crashes with or without it, just faster with.
On a side note a second issue has been trying to burn to dvd, it will crash the same way, after completeing 25-50%, making coasters.
this isuue is present in both machines we have which are identical.
I also have one of them with the loud fans, straight out of the box, reminded me of my old g4 dual 1.25 mdd.. Firmware is up to date on it. Both machines are new within the last 2 weeks.
here is the crash report.

Common on both machines, both macchines have the ATTO Celerity PCI Express card for the fibre channel. So I went to ATTO's site looking for new drivers and found this
"ATTO's UL5D and Celerity PCI Express adapters will work in the MAC Pro, however; there is a temporary issue with the systems containing 2.5 GB or more RAM. Please limit the RAM to less than 2.5 GB until this can be resolved. Also, ATTO Configuration Tool version 3.6 will not function properly. Please watch our web site for solutions to both of these issues after 10/21/06."
So tomorrow I will bring both machines and hook back up to the terrablock and try it out with 2 gb ram rather than 4gb.
By looking at this panick log, am I right to assume because I see the ATTO in the log it could be the issue? Looking in google for anyone talking about this I found 1 where they said the temp issue as ATTO put it is a freeze/bomb issue. I will hopefully be able to check it out tomorrow, if I get out of training soon enough.
Any more input is always welcome.
Thanks

Final Cut Pro 5.1 on Intel Mac Pro

Hi,
I have been running successfully Final Cut Pro 5.1 on my intel Mac Pro.
Suddenly it stopped working. While opening, it suddenly quit. Tried to fully uninstall Final Cut following Apple HOWTO and reinstall. Unfortunately, Final Cut is still not working.
I have read lots a various messages and no-one seems to have a 100% success rate.
Anyone has a suggestion?
Cheers
Ben

someone posted something on Craigslist about the intel Macs and he said that the intel just freezes up with FCP and some other programs
Older versions of FCP do NOT run well on IntelMacs because they were written to run on PPC chipped Macs only. Probably the situation you read about on Craigslist. The OP here is running the universal version of FCP so that shouldn't be an issue in this case.

Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
(BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

Possible to use iPhone headset mic on 2006 Intel Mac Pro?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the iPhone headset working on a 2006 Intel Mac Pro? Or, are there any adapters that would allow the headset to work? I'd like to use Skype on this machine, but I don't want to have to have a clunky full-on headset for it.
Thanks,

HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Hi,
I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date. All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue. If that doesn't work, let me know.
I am a printer tech for HP.

Hi Abbie. You have every reason to be upset. These issues normally happen in our country. You can send them an email regarding your concern here:

Regarding your battery, you can probably reset the SMC and see if that improves your battery life. Here are the steps.
