Just got an xserve G5 ... help connectin to RAID

Xserve G5 10.4, dual 2.3. Trying to connect to xserve RAID. SFP connectors on RAID, firewire 800's on Xserve. I cannot find cables anywhere for this. Can anybody point me in the right direction here? Thank you, Jim

Yes, both fibre channel and firewire are ports/protocols for hooking up peripheral devices but they are different systems.
Since you want fibre ports you'll need to add them via an internal PCI card (PCI-X for that model I'm pretty sure) and then hook up the RAID via copper cables. These cards were common accessories back in the day but you'll probably have to either get one through Apple Service or find one via third party. The Apple cards were rebranded third party cards so if you can't find the actual Apple part numbered cards there are the publicly available equivalent cards.
Good Luck,

Hey Pancenter there are still lots of us about.
I wouldn't take the original post too seriously - I may of course be naive but it sounds like it could be a troll to me!
I learn a lot from reading the posts of the likes of you, Erik, Bee Jay, sampleconstruct, noeqplease etc so I hope you guys don't become too dispondent when you see posts like these.
By the same token, I hope the Logic team continue to use their talents to develop powerful software that caters for the professional user, while allowing Garageband to continue to do its (excellent) job of providing for its market.

Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support for Windows 8.1 once it is loaded. Just got off the Microsoft Help line and they refused to help me because I was running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp. Where do I go for help?

Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support from Microsoft for Windows 8.1, once it is loaded.
I Just got off the Microsoft Technical Help line (Australia ph132058) and they refused to help me because I am running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp.
I have the latest Mac Book Pro Retina with a 1TB Solid State Hard drive running Win 8.1, beautiful machine, but its slower than my old MBP running windows 7 on a standard Drive.
The niggiling problem is that it seems to hang up for seven or 8 seconds on menial tasks........ like generating a new Folder or Note etc. Otherwise it runs reasonably well but not blindingly fast....
I wasn't aware Microsoft refused to help win 8.1 users on the Mac Platform........ shouldn't this Information be made more public...! Seems they are keen to drive potential Windows users away!!
Any suggestions on where I should go for help on this (Windows/Bootcamp in General) would be much appreciated ? ........ don't mind paying a reasonable price if the service is good......
I guess the wheel has turned and Microsoft are having a go at Apple again...?
Many thanks ....... Martin V

Thanks Turbostar.
I was thinking along the same lines. I installed Win 8.0 Pro and upgraded to 8.1 ........ probably a bad move.
I have bought a new 8.1 Licence but cant risk doing a complete reinstall until I have a back up machine ready. (My old MBP is getting a new hard drive) ......... so will give that a go in about a weeks time when the back up is in place. Cant risk having nothing!
When you say "Clean Install" ..... do you mean everything ..... as in Reformat the Bootcamp sector and start from scratch.?
I have a 2 TB LaCie Thunderbolt drive with my back up data on ..... is there a way to make the Reinstall process and large amount of Data transfer easy?
The reinstall is something I need to read up on. I was hoping the solution might be some kind of Tune up on the SSHD.
Good to hear you have a number of MBP's that are flying, I would be disappointed if the final quality wasnt a bit better.
..... do you have any tips on screen Res on the Retina ..... I am running Windows at 125% Zoom, but the Bluetooth, power, wireless, Date Icons etc are all still tiny ...... could really do with an alternative to the old "Advanced Appearance Settings"
cheers ..... Martin V

Just got g4 used, please help!!

Hi,
I am only fairly familiar with mac, but am very familiar with PC. I just got a good deal on a PowerMac G4 at an auction from an old imaging company for practically free and its in pretty much brand new condition, barely used.
It has OS X 10.2.8, jaguar I believe. 896mb of memory and 350mhz processing speed.
It is slow as all get-out. I want to know what I need to upgrade to and the cheapest way to do so. I WILL be using PRO TOOLS and FINAL CUT on this computer extensively. What is the best OS X system to support these two main programs? I need whatever system to of course support the firewire ports.
Please let me know any info you have will be appreciated. I am a student and will be using this for editing music and video for school.
thanks

Welcome to the world of Mac owners!
Unfortunately you posted in the MacPro usage forum. These are Intel based and are the latest Towers Apple offer. Yours G4 is about ten years old. My G4 is 9 years old and was a 450 Dual (since upgraded) so, not knowing exactly what you have, I'm pretty close guessing it's ten years old (AGP Model?).
For general ?'s, like how to repair or what version of OSX you can run, post that in the G4 usage forum. If you want to upgrade the G4, RAM, proccessor, etc. post that in the G4 expansion forum.
My notes, you can upgrade the processor but you will be putting in more money then the G4 is worth. I did it to mine cause I got one on sale and still needed the machine. Even with the bigger processor it's still slow compared to todays Macs because it has a low bus speed. Nothing you or I can do about that. I also added as much RAM as possible. That has gotten cheaper now.The highest OS you could use is Tiger. You will need at least 256MB of RAM, but most of us feel it should be 512MB or higher.
Leopard requires a 867MHz processor or higher and will run on a G4 if upgraded.
You will need as high a version as possible to run Pro Tools and Final Cut and plenty of RAM.
If you have more ?'s for me you can post here or I'll see you in the other forums.
DALE
p.s. It would help us, so we can advise you correctly, if you would fill in your Mac's specs. in My Settings over on the right, near your name and under the logout choice, please. Over there-->>>>>
If you're unsure about the specific Mac model you have, you can plug in its serial number here and it will give you the model and its specifications. (provided by Majordadusma)

I just got a used ipod- help?

My boyfriend just gave me his old nano.. I've never had an ipod before. What should I do? Isn't there something about it can only be used on one computer? How can I make it so I can use it on mine?
Thanks for the help!!
Windows XP

iPods can be used on as many computers as you like. If it is set to update automatically just connect it to your computer and it will syncronise with your iTunes library and update itself. If you are unfamiliar with iPods you'll find all you need to know to get started on this page: iPod nano Fast Start: The New User's Guide to iPod nano
You might also want to Rename your iPod. Once you have read the introduction page and have your iPod loaded up just follow the instructions below.
Select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
Click on it's its name again.
The text box will open for editing.
Type a new name.

MacBook pro just got dead really quick, help

So, I came home from school the other hour and opened my MacBook, and found it off and unresponsive. It wouldn't come out of sleep mode, which I had previously left it in; it wouldn't turn on after I held the on button a couple of times. The only clues I have are...
1. When I plug it in to charge, the green light on the charger is blinking dimly, not normally.
2. My I put my ear on it I can hear a very very soft buzzing noise.
It has not showed previous signs of turning off. Well, a month or 2 ago the clicking on the trackpad broke. Not tapping or gesture just clicking. It has suffered slight physical damage from being battered around in my backpack also. Could you please help me?
Ps: the computer won't work at all; I'm just typing this from my iPhone.

> It has suffered slight physical damage from being battered around in my backpack also.
This does not make me hopeful.   Once damage gets physical, it is only a matter of time before other things go wrong. The only hopefully possibility is if the machine is at least 4 years old.   The PRAM battery starts to die, and causes all sorts of components to start to fail on their own.
If it is under 4 years old, sometimes a simple zap of the PRAM, or reset of the SMU can help:

Otherwise, bring it in for service to have it diagnosed.   Be prepared for sticker shock. If you are in the U.S. one of these vendors may be able to bring down the price:

Good luck. Next time, get a better bag, and make sure it doesn't get banged around. If that's not possible, ask your teachers to pay for your computer and tell them you can't be rushed.   Otherwise, you lose money in a lost computer.

Hi there wendyfromnewross,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
