Im beyond lost with this mac pro.....so I have a few questions

First: How do I get rid of things on that bottom bar like safari since im going to use firefox?
Second: How do I get rid of the annoying keychain login thing?
Third: How do you uninstall programs?
Fourth: How do you copy and paste on this thing? lol
Last I have a scan disk from my cameras how do I connect them to my laptop? I have a new mac book pro.

First: How do I get rid of things on that bottom bar like safari since im going to use firefox?
Drag them out of the Dock and they will go "Poof".
Second: How do I get rid of the annoying keychain login thing?
Try Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access. But for some operations you will need to authenticate to gain Administrator privileges.
Third: How do you uninstall programs?
drag them to the trash.
Fourth: How do you copy and paste on this thing? lol
Command-C
Command-V
Where Command is the key with the 4-leaf clover or Apple symbol.
Last I have a scan disk from my cameras how do I connect them to my laptop? I have a new mac book pro.
Someone else will have to address this.
Overall, it sounds like you would benefit from a visit to a bookstore and browse some of the Mac OS X books, drink some coffee (or your beverage of choice). Mac OS X the Missing Manual is a good choice, and maybe one of the "Switcher" books.

  • Does this Airport card go with this Mac Pro?

    Mac Pro Quad Xeon 2Ghz 1GB RAM (2x512mb) 250GB 16x SuperDrive 7300GT
    AirPort Extreme Card
    Part Number: F8881LL/A
    I also heard they were a lot harder to install now? But I'm not sure when or where I heard that.
    thanks

    No that card will not work with the Mac Pro.
    The Mac Pro requires a combo AirPort/Bluetooth card which Apple does not sell directly to consumers. Apple expects an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) to install the card.

  • Looking to get a mac for fall semester, have a few questions on which one I should get.

    Hello everyone, this is the first time im posting here and i hope i can get some help. Im in the need of a new computer; I have been wanting a mac for a long time and i figured since im a junior in college that i should get myself something decent to finish school with. Any who i have been thinking about getting a refurbished mac for a while now, to me saving a few bucks is always a plus. I was just wondering though, do you guys think i should get one of those older products or maybe get one of the newer models just announced at wwdc? I had my eye out on a macbook pro, but the air has also been looking really nice. Im really having a tough time trying to decide which one i want get. This will be my main computer btw, and i currently do have an iphone and ipad 2 to go along with it. Here are the notebooks i was considering and also i usually will not be carrying it around campus that much.
    macbook pro 13in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD313LL/A
    macbook air 13in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC965LL/A
    macbook air 11in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC969LL/A
    Hopefully you guys can help me out, im really looking forward to owning a mac. If it wasnt for the os, i wouldnt be considering one, but i just fell in love with it when one of my high school teachers was showing some of the things he could do with his mac. Also if anyone has any other suggestions, please tell me, im all up for new ideas.

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you... gonna be using it as my primary computer, graduating college soon, and my first mac. I'll be going with the 13 inch MacBook Air.
    The Pro and the Air are nearly identical performance-wise and so that means the only advantage of the Pro is the storage space (unless you count the cd drive as an advantage). The Air is way more portable and has a better display, I don't know about you but my current cd drive rarely gets used so might as well get rid of it.
    I have also compared them side-by-side in the store and that was really what won me over to the Air. The 11-inch Air was there too but the screen just seems too small, especially if you are doing work/writing essays etc.
    Hope that helped

  • Questions about setting up my network with my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to set up my network with my Mac Pro. I have two other roommates that need internet and a printer that we all need to access. The modem is with my Mac Pro in room 1, the printer is with another PC in room 2, and another PC with wifi is in room 3. What is the best way to connect all these.
    My idea was to install an Airport card in my Mac Pro, then add an Airport Express station w/airtunes to room 2, to connect the PC and printer. That way, room 3 can access with wifi, and room 2 can physically plug into the Airport Express station. Problem with that is that the Airport Express Card must be professionally installed in my Mac Pro and that $80+ charge on top of the Airport Express and Aiport Card itself, turns this into a $200+ endeavor.
    I also have a wireless Linksys router and Linksys WiFi USB receiver. Anybody have any other ideas?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Your plan wouldn't work anyway. The Mac Pro can not create a WDS compatible wireless network. Therefore the AirPort Express (AX) can not use WDS to wirelessly join the network. Therefore the AX's Ethernet port will not be activated.
    The best solution is to buy an inexpensive wireless router [or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)]. Connect the Mac Pro via Ethernet to the router. Add a wireless adapter to the PC in room 2. Therefore the PCs will connect wirelessly while the Mac Pro connects via Ethernet.

  • Will this hard drive work with my Mac Pro?

    Just looking for confirmation that this hard drive will work with my Mac Pro:

    Hi Fred,
    usually any 3.5" form-factor SATA-connected harddisk works in a Mac Pro.
    So I don't see any reason for this harddisk not to work.

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

  • I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

    I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
    the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that.  there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
    <Re-Titled by Host>

    FTFY (for readability):
    "I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
    The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
    There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
    Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
    Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
    What model of Mac do you have?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
    What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
    Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
    Best of luck.

  • Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

    Hello Everyone:
    I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
    I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate.  Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
    Yes.
    Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    Not if you want full resolution.  You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
    It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
    No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want  to be as close to the display.

  • The Airplay icon does not show, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • 2010 iMac target display mode with 2013 Mac Pro

    I have a 2010 27-inch iMac that I want to use with target display mode for a 2013 Mac Pro. I have a mini display port to mini display port cable connecting them. When I plug the cable in the iMac screen goes black, but eventually reverts back to iMac desktop. Pressing Cmd-F2 makes it go black again, but eventually reverts back. I was under the impression that this was the correct cable to use to connect, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have ideas for what to do? What am I missing? Thanks!

    You can use the cheaper single link adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter>
    if you don't have more than two DVI or HDMI displays.
    <http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202801>
    If you will be using more, you can still use a single link adapter, but it must be ACTIVE, such as

  • Can i use my ipod with this mac

    Sorry if this was asked before, but my problem and question may be slightly different.
    I have an old 20 gig ipod that I've had since 1995. I have downloaded many songs from i-tunes and from my own cd's to my pc running widows xp. There are about 1300 songs on the i-pod
    The pc was given away to a friend who transferred all my music to my macbook. The hard drive was removed. We did not deauthorize the pc---(I know-a mistake).
    I-tunes and everything works and plays ok on the Mac. Even new songs I've ordered or put in from cd's work & play ok. But note--in the "library" section not all the tunes have the little check in the box next to them. I do not know why this is. I have no problem synching from this Mac to my i-phone.
    So--my question is---can I now use (synch) the ipod with this Mac ?
    Can I just plug it in an keep using it to update my library ? I certainly do not want to erase all the tunes on it and not be able to replace them. What exactly do I have to do ?
    Any help and detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated----Thanks---Jerry

    I have a similar problem. I have a 60 GB old non video ipod. It connected to my old G5 with a firewire plug. Ihave been running it for eight or more years. When I upgraded to new IMAC and MacBook Pro 15 in. They do not have inputs for the end of the cradle. One end has the same wide flat connector now used by ipod touches. I have a new third gen IPOD touch. I was able to sync both ipods with both the two old computers and the two Snow Leopard macs. I must have accomplished by sharing in Itunes preferences.
    It has been awhile. Anyhow, now I am trying to sync the oldest IPOD. It doesn't show up on my new IMAC as a device. I suppose because it isn't pluged in. I tried disconnecting my 1 T external hard drive to see if I could use that input. But I don't see any port to connect my older IPOD? How do I add music from CD to new IMAC and sync it onto the old IPOD. I feel so lame. Please someone. I have read lots of books on IPOD touch and IMAC Portable, Snow Leopard. Maybe I need to check them out of library or buy one. Please advise. Spinning wheels.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • USB headset's microphone starts to sizzle when used with my Mac Pro.

    Hello,
    First I would like to say I'm sorry for my english, I'll do my best but I'm not sure at all of what I'm writing.
    Here is my problem: last year I bought a new Mac Pro 2.93 GHz Quad-Core, everything worked just fine except my headsets. I had a one year old Plantronics ".Audio 750 DSP Stereo Headset" that worked perfectly on my previous PowerMac G4 MDD.
    When I used it to speak the microphone starts to sizzle after a random period of time (I just have to disconnect and replug the headset to make it works again for some time). I tried with every applications possible (Skype, Ventrilo, Teamspeak, WireTap to record myself and some others) and the problem always appeared.
    I first though it was a coincidence and maybe my headset had a problem so I contacted Plantronics, explained the problem and they offered me to replace the headset with a new one but I had the exact same problem.
    I tried with another headset (same model as mine) my brother had and this time it worked fine so I kept it for one year but some days ago it started to have some problem (not related to the mac) so I decided to get a new one, a Plantronics one again but a new model (Plantronics GameCom 777 Surround Sound Gaming Headset) and my problem is here again.
    I searched on google, on many mac related forums and I didn't see this problem anywhere so I try here before sending back my headset and try another manufacturer.
    The problem definitely comes from my mac but I don't know if that's a problem with all the "Mac Pro 2.93 Quad-Core" or just mine (as I said, except this problem everything works perfectely).
    If you have any solutions I would be happy to hear them !
    Thank you.

    May have been good that you waited The better subject line might be, "What is the best recommendation for a Microphone Headset" or "Why does my Microphone Headset have noise".
    After looking around a bit, and looking back over our posts, I've reached some conclusions that I would draw if I were you. I don't know if this addresses the totality of it, but this is what I think at this time.
    The product: http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/products/computer/console-gaming-headsets/gamecom-777
    Now I know at least one application for this, and I can imagine a bunch more.
    It's pretty expensive compared to one alternative I found that was the only device sold like it in this entire store, which I find odd: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Altec%20Lansing/AHS602/
    It looks to be of high quality and quite Apple ready;
    The headset's surround sound hardware is built right into the included USB adapter, which plugs into any USB port on your PC or Mac with no additional software necessary. Simply plug the headset in to the USB adapter, and you're ready to go
    So why won't it produce good sound?...
    That the headset is just faulty perhaps. That the adaptor is faulty. But that's as far as I can think as far as the headset goes. There should be no other adapter that helps if the one they supply you does not. If it was an adapter problem it would only be their adapter problem, you don't need anything between that and your Mac. That device as it's set up is good to go. So the older adapter worked fine for 5 hours? That would point me to the current one they sent you as the problem. You'd have to ask them why one works well and the other does not (and if their phone or email support is a bad as their site support it, I feel sorry for you).
    http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/support/?WT.svl=leftnav
    http://www.plantronics.com/europeunion/fr/?requestid=1207885
    But say all is well there (you'd have to try another one they send you to see).
    If what you have is fine, what else could it be.
    This is all I can come up with:
    1) Your USB ports on the Mac. Have you tried different ports?
    2) Perhaps a long cable or something else concerning the headset (hmm, maybe not, something else in the Mac?), something that is still being affected by electrical interference. The different adapters you have... are they that much physically different?
    3) An inherent problem on the 09 Mac Pros. They have one glaring problem Apple hasn't fixed yet regarding audio, that playing any raises the Macs temps to really high levels and degrades performance in apps when audio is playing in the background. For instance, playing a song in itunes. For many of us 09'ers our machines start to run really hot, really quickly.
    Whether that has any impact on your issue I don't have a clue, and you'll get no help from Apple there..
    So that, Igda, is all I can come up with. Those are the things I'd be mulling over right now.
    I'd contact the company and tell them about your situation and particularly about the adapters. I'd ask if they have heard of any of their products having a problem on 09 Mac Pros.
