Is Bluetooth module for Mac Pro/iMac compatible with FW800 MDD?

I've been looking at fitting an internal Apple Bluetooth module in my FW800 MDD G4, and I've noticed the later modules for Intel Macs appear to have the same form factor. The connection to the logic board looks identical, as do the mounting holes. The only physical difference seems to be where the BT antenna connects (below on the original G4 card, above on the later modules).
Has anyone tried fitting one with success?

if you got the guts, shove it in there. think the issue you will have is the original machines supported the 1.1 cards, the card you speak of is 2.0

  • Bluetooth Headphones for Mac Pro - Recommendations Please?

    Hello!
    I am looking for a Bluetooth headphones to listen to iTunes on my Mac Pro.
    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    yup.. this was added to Leopard 10.5... 10.5 is REALLY flaky though (all around, not bluetoothwise)... 10.5.2 is what you need.
    but with 10.5.2 installed i use the Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9 with a Belkin USB bluetooth adapter (class 1 so get 300 ft range)... works really well... good for exercise 'cause they are light and they stay in your ears securely and can take sweat etc and they are sound isolating and have two sizes of in ear thingies for different sized ears.
    plus have Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). AVRCP lets you control iTunes and volume from the head phones... back, forward, play, pause, volume up and down.. they are really cool and work perfectly.

  • Are 2013 Mac Pro DIMMS compatible with 12-Core Silver Tower?

    I have a Mid 2011 12-Core Silver Tower, and want to upgrade the memory, however, I also expect to upgrade the entire computer in the next year or two, so I'm wondering if I can buy DIMMS compatible with the 2013 model and use them in the Silver Tower?
    Currently, the Silver Tower has 8 slots, 4 of which are occupied with 2GB DDR3 ECC 1066MHz modules. Correlary question is: can I keep these DIMMS in the 4 matching slots, and put the faster 2013 DIMMS in the other four matching slots, or do I have to replace EVERYTHING?
    Thanks in advance!

    The Mac Pro silver tower has unique cooling requirements not present in other computers, including the Mac Pro  6,1 black cylinder. Memories for the silver towers should have Apple-approved extra-large heatsinks.
    I think you should just buy the DIMMs specifically for the model you have, and leave it at that. The 8GB modules will still mix freely with smaller sizes, and are about the same price as two 4GB modules, so they are the best choice.

  • Is Mac Pro 2007 compatible with new 6Gb/s SSD harddrive?

    Hi,
    I'm using my old Mac Pro from 2007 for music production. It works very well, but I want to upgrade it with a new SSD harddrive.
    Is the Mac Pro from 2007 compatible with a new SSD SATA 6GB/s harddrive, like a Crucial MX100?
    As I see it, there are three possibilities:
    1) It will run fine.
    2) It will run, but only on half the speed (3GB/s).
    3) It will not run.
    What will happen?
    Thanks for helping me out.
    All the best,
    Anders from Denmark

    RE: SATA Bus speed:
    Most Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
    SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
    None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.
    Even most common SSD drives are not bottlenecked by SATA 2.

  • Is there an automated way to check if my MAC Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion?

    I am trying to upgrade my OS to Mauntain Lion after reading all of the requirements, but when i click on purchase, it is telling me that my system is not compatible. Is there a way to automatically confirm compatibility?

    It seems you already did that but to verify the App Store's diagnosis is actually correct, type in your Mac Pro's serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    To find its serial number: Mac Pro: How to find the serial number
    You can copy the serial number from About This Mac > More Info... and paste it in the above page's serial number field. Mountain Lion requires an early 2008 or newer Mac Pro. That would be a MacPro3,1 or later.

    Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

  • Can I use a bluetooth keyboard on a non-bluetooth enabled (Old)Mac Pro?

    Sorry, this seems like something I could easily find an answer to, but I haven't found the answer on the forums or in google searches.
    My quad core Mac Pro is not Bluetooth enabled.  I'm assuming I can just use a USB Bluetooth dongle to talk to the keyboard.  I thought I would double check before I start spending money.  I do have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle already, but I've seen some talk about some talk about some other options from the Mac Store.  I'm just hoping to hear what has worked for others.
    Thanks!

  • Which bluetooth module for iMac 17" 1.8Ghz

    I am trying to decide between two bluetooth modules for a 17" 1.8Ghz iMac. So far I have found part number 922-6201 and 922-6530. They look similar but I have been unable to find any explicit documentation that mentions the correct part.
    Can anyone help me out?
    JT
    Also feel free to reach me on ichat: jasontm1

    According to the information here those part numbers are interchangeable and are really the same card.
    It is really odd that on that page it states:
    Description
    Add BlueTooth to your iMac G5 17" & 20" Mac with this Apple part.
    But then does not include any iMac G5 in the compatibility information:
    Compatibility
    Power Mac G5, eMac (USB 2.0), iMac (17-inch Flat Panel, 1GHz), iMac (USB 2.0), Power Mac G4 (FW 800), Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Power Mac G5 (Late 2004), Mac mini**.

  • Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
    To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

  • GeForce 7300 GT Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro?? G5?

    Hi,
    Just found this on the apple store:
    http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=1643C421&nplm=M A567
    "NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro"
    Why is it only for mac pro? its PCI express & my g5 is one of the late 2005 models and it has PCI Express so am i wrong in thinking that this should work fine or is it something to do with the new intel architecture?
    If i remember correctly i could have chosen this card or a very similar one when i configured my G5.
    Thanks

    That card is only for the Mac Pro, as it says.
    When you ordered your G5, you had the choice of the nVidia 6600 (or 6600LE), nVidia 7800GT, or the Quadro FX 4500.
    The 7800GT that you could have ordered with your G5 is close in performance to the ATi X1900XT that is an option on the Mac Pro. The 7300GT that you're looking at is an entry level card, which the 7800GT definitely is not.
    The 7300GT and the X1900XT are both Mac Pro only due to the ROM on the card, which is designed to work with the EFI booting hardware that the Mac Pro uses. The G5s used Open Firmware, which requires a different ROM on the video card. So, even though both your G5 and the Mac Pro are PCI-Express based, these video cards are not compatible.
    Now, most PCI-Express cards that you look at for, say, external SATA, will probably work in both the G5 and the Mac Pro. You'd still want to check the specs to be sure, however.
    If you're looking for a new video card to replace your (presumably) nVidia 6600, your only real option is the ATi X1900 G5 edition. This is a different card than the X1900XT that's offered for the Mac Pro.

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

  • Bluetooth on new Mac Pro

    Hey all,
    I just bought a new Mac Pro with bluetooth installed, but I'm having some issues. The system finds the bluetooth card and all the associated software (the bluetooth pref panel, the bluetooth menu, etc) seems to be functioning the way it should but the computer can't find any bluetooth devices.
    When I try to set up a new device, and I've tried a keyboard, a mouse, and two different phones, I make the device discoverable and then BT set up gives me the message "no _ found. make sure your device is on and set to discoverable" or something to that effect. Is the card defective? Normally when the cards don't work bluetooth itself would show up as unavailable. Any ideas what's going on?
    Mac Pro 2x3GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   4 GB RAM, RadeonX1900, Bluetooth card

    The standard first attempt at "fixing" BT problems is to do a smc and pram reset (try these first).  But for mac pro's, if you are using a magic mouse say, about 3 or more feet, from the mac pro, you are most likely in for some continued aggravation.  That's because the BT antenna is hidden in the back of the mac pro (faraday cage) and the magic mouse BT, for lack of better words, $ucks.
    Here's a thread on this subject:
    Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    Basically it comes down to wiring your own external antenna in place of the internal one already there or using a BT USB dongle.  I use a dongle myself on my 2010 mac pro.

    re:FCP3
    Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
    That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.

    Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
    Good luck.
