Is there any esata extender cable adapter for Mac Pro 3.1?

I have a Mac Pro 3.1 with two Quad-Core Intel Xeon @3GHz, and G-DRIVE0G00204 2TB External Hard Drive.
I was told the speed of sSATA cable is 3 times faster compared to firewire 800, but the Mac Pro doesnt provide eSATA port. Is there any solution to make connection with Mac Pro via sSATA cables?
Thanks.

You do this with a pci slot. Either the following,
Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable Adapter
or a eSATA pci card. For example,
Sonnet Technology Tempo SATA E2P Serial ATA Host Adapter Card

Is there any form of system cleanup for mac air

is there any form of system cleanup for mac air

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

Is there any voice recognition security software for mac

is there any voice recognition security software for mac

The problem is that there are probably few dry cleaners running Macs. It would be a big commitment for a developer to enter that market. As a potential user, I'm sure you would like it. From a developer standpoint, I would need 50 such dry cleaners ready to buy at $1000 each just to even consider it. I have some time to develop this year. Should I go after 200 million potential customers, a tiny fraction of whom might spend $5-10 apiece, or those 50 dry cleaners. I know that all of those 200 million people are running the correct operating system for my software. How many dry cleaners have Macs and $1000 to spare? I could go cheaper but then I would need more dry cleaners. Why wouldn't they just use some cloud based service instead?

Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

Are there any CD/DVD recovery tools for Mac?

In the good old days (??) of windows I had a plethora of handy recovery tools for rescuing data of scratched or damaged CD/DVD.
Recovery utilities is one area where the Mac community seems to fall flat - I've spent an hour looking and can't find anything remotely like IsoBuster or the other tools I used to enjoy...
If I ran those Windows tools under Parallels, do you think they would be able to diagnose a CD in the iMac's superdrive?
Any thoughts?
Steve

Yes (I second that motion...)
Isobuster will work in windows on a virtual machine or in windows booted from a boot camp partition.

Are there any PCL to PDF converters for Macs

We have a Windows only software that produces PCL files. I am wondering if there is a converter so that we can view said files as PDFs on our Macs. Does anyone have experience with this in the Mac OS or do we have to install XP or Vista to open the files?

Hi Donald;
I just did a Google search for PCL to PDF converter and it produced pages of them!

Are there any good strategy games only for macs?

If so what are their names and would you recommend them?
If not what strategy games would you recommend for an SR mac book with 4 GB of ram? And 2.2 GHz

Games in Mac, well, suck. It's disappointing, especially when developers do a 3rd-rate job of brining existing PC games over to X.
I have the same MacBook as you, napoleon. Here's the kicker - Your Intel X3100 video drivers are BETTER in Windows than it is in Leopard. Even the dock in Leopard is choppy. Makes me regret my MacBook purchase at times (though so many other positives!).
It saddening that you can't avoid Windows, especially when you only want to play a few games.
My suggestions for RTS games for Windows:
Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Age of Empires
(as said) C&C3, it's a fantastic game, and an amazing series. You can't go wrong with Command and Conquer.

I have a MacBook Pro, I recently bought a microsof word for it but its in spanish, since all my work its done in English, it there any way I an adapt a dictionary so it gives me suggestions when i write?

Your Mac already has a Spanish and an English Dictionary.
May be you only need to select them.
Open Dictionary.app and under preferences select the languages you need.

Is there any wifi extender for time capsule?

Is there any wifi extender compatible with time capsule ?

You use Airport Utility and configure the Time Capsule's Wireless to allow the network to be extended. It's a checkbox. Configure the Airport Express to Extend an existing network and provide the name of your network and the password to sign into your network. These would have already been configured in the Time Capsule.

Report on installing Newer eSATA extender cable

Well I took the time to install the Newer eSATA extender cable and am zeroing the hard drive now in anticipation of Leopard arriving next week. It turns out that there is a glitch in the installation of the Newer extender and some Mac Pros. Mine was one of the problematic ones.
In order to install the cable you have to access the mother board behind the front fan unit. Basically that means taking out RAM boards, HDs. and a few screws. It should be pretty easy but the problem comes in from an assembly line error. On some Mac Pros two screws (located in the front edge of the RAM card bay) with tiny phillips heads which are screwed into extenders have been installed with Locktite rather than the extenders being installed with Locktite. That means that you almost inevitably strip those screw heads and the extenders spin. I had to use a tiny knife bladed file to hand cut a slot in each of the screws to get them out and then retighten the extenders with small nosed hemostats.
If the job went with no problems it is entirely do-able for someone reasonably handy (with the proper tools) and the Newer directions pamphlet is very well done. However, if you run into the Locktite problem the complexity of the job increases considerably. Overall, I think I'd suggest people without some electronic repair/modification experience use FireWire 800 for their Leopard Time Machine interface and avoid the potential difficulties I ran into.

I would have to agree that getting both of the SATA cables on the motherboard is a pain if the screws have the Locktite issue as mine does. However, I found running a stock 24" internal SATA cable with a right angle on one end to one of the SATA motherboard connectors and using an Addonics AASA2SAP15C on the other end of the SATA cable outside the Mac Pro lets me easily connect an eSATA enclosure to the Mac Pro using the motherboard connector.
I use this cable converter:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00094OWEC/arizomacinusergr
and this enclosure ICY DOCK MB559US-1S External 3.5" eSATA/USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KMD1JA/arizomacinusergr
This provides a nice, quick mounting case that I can boot off of if needed using the internal SATA motherboard port. It provides much nicer performance than FW800 and is easy to setup.
Have fun!

Is there any thunderbolt card available for mac pro?

I have a blackmagic intensity extreme, which has thunderbolt port. But I am unable to use it with Mac Pro as there is no thunderbolt port on it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Here's a clue at a Thunderbolt PCIe card that may be available for cpu's with an open 16x slot.
HP is now offering a Thunderbolt option for thier Z820 workstation model.
Actually, no. That computer was designed for thunderbolt from the start. It is a feature enabler card, not an expansion card.
I hope this will change soon, but not soon enough to hold my breath.
There will never be a thunderbolt card for Mac Pros.
Two reasons:
1- Even the 2012 Mac pro used 2 year old hardware, that means even the very last Mac Pro Apple sold last month used 3 year old technology. Its not economical to make new hardware for old technology in a very small market.
2- Thunderbolt communicates directly with the CPU, GPU and PCIe hardware. That means they have to be designed to communicate with the thunderbolt controller. Since thunderbolt was introduced in 2011, a full year after the last Mac Pro (5,1) was designed, its hardware has no possible way to communicate with it.
Thunderbolt is not "an extension of the PCIe bus" like eSATA is an extension of SATA, its an entirely different communication protocol.
If it were just an extension, it would be far cheaper and easier to implement and there would be more than just a handful of products on the market that support it. Right now thunderbolt is making Firewire look like a runaway success!

Is there any limitation of memory uses for apps in iPad2 or iPad3 ?

Hi,
Is there any limitation of memory uses for apps in ipad2 or ipad3 .For example an application can use 10% or 20% of available memory , is there anything like that or the apps can use the total available memory or like 90% of it ?
I want to know about the memory distribution to the apps in ios .
Would anyone suggest a right way ?
Thanks

iOS manages all memory. You should test your app in Instruments to be sure it is playing nice.
