I HAVE A MAC POWERBOOK G4 AND WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER MY FILES, PHOTOS AND VIDS TO MY NEW MAC PRO, WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST METHOD?? THANKS ROB
I think the easiest way is to use a firewire cable (you will need on like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Firewire+400+to+800+cable&oe=utf-8&rls= org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=120962573 04625337030&sa=X&ei=PytQT9r4NtOBsgL9s_C6Dg&ved=0CHYQ8gIwAA).
Power up the Power Mac G4 and hold the "T" key while it is booting (this puts the G4 notebook in Firewire Target Disk mode). Connect the G4 notebook to the newer MacBook Pro and use the Migration assistant (/Applications/Utilities) OR browse through the files and copy what you want. -
After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows -
What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?
Hi,
I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5 CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ?
I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
Thanks in anticipation of some advice.What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
The Mac's analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them. -
What's the best way to connect the audio out of my Mac to my stereo receiver?
I want to listen to my mp3 collection through my home theatre stero receiver.
I have 2 audio interfaces that I connect to my mac through USB and Firewire: Digi Design Mbox mini and Maudio ProFire 610.
I've tried going from a headphone 1/8'' connector from the headphone out of my mac to rca connected to the aux (or whatever) of my stereo.
I've tried using a 1/4'' adapter on the 1/8'' to go from my mbox mini's headphone output to the rca aux on my stereo.
The problem is I'm hearing distortions that sound like clipping, or static, crunchiness on certain frequencies in a lot of my mp3's that shouldn't be there.
I listen to lots of music, and a lot of it uses distortion, like shoegaze, drone etc but I know what I'm hearing is unnatural.
I even hear these flaws when I listen to headphones through the headphone out of my mbox.
Page 2 on this instruction manual says I should be able to go from the monitor outs to my stereo. The monitor outs are 1/4 inch out so I figured I would need a 1/4 inch to rca cable.
I got this one from monster thinking it should work. No dice.
So my question is, what is the best way to connect my mac to my stereo? I need to avoid these distortions and flaws in the audio i'm hearing or I will go nuts.
Why might I be getting these clipping distoritons?
any advice would be fantasticIt depends on how close the receiver is to the iMac. If it's just a few feet away you need at cable like:
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-THINTOSMIN6-Toslink-Digital-Optical/dp/B00016 W6Y6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316096392&sr=8-2
However if the receiver is across the room or the house you would be best to enable Air Play, this enables you to wirelessly connect the receiver to the iMac. You will need the above cable and an Airport Express. If you are not familiar with Air Play navigate to:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/airplay/
I have been using it for quite some time and find it great. If you are not familiar with the Airport Express here is the link to it:

You can even find refurbished ones on Apples website for about $79. -
Best way to connect my Mac Air to my TV ?
What's the best way to connect my Mac Air to my TV ideally wirelesly so I can have meetings in the room displayed on the TV?
The TV has an HD port.You're only option at this point in time for a wireless connection to your TV for mirroring your display is a product called McTivia, which runs around $180.
If wireless isn't absolutely necessary and you don't feel like shelling out that much cash, a simply HDMI cable and a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter would do the trick and save you over $100. -
RealStrat and Kontakt 3 - How are they for you Logic 8/Mac Pro?
Hi
I'm thinking on splurging on these two products to use in Logic 8 with an Intel Mac Pro. How are they for you? Do they work OK? I don't see too many negative comments here so I'm assuming that they're working OK. I'll go look the Native Instruments and MusicLab forums as well but thought there might be those here who could comment.
Regards
GrahamK3 works fine on my 8-core since version 3.01 - actually 3.02 is buggy again so don´t upgrade to the latest version of K3 which is 3.02.
If there would not be the annoying 2 Gigabyte RAM limit within 32-Bit applications I would be even happier, but if you need more Sample space just setup an additional K3 in standalone mode and wire it through the IAC Bus.
If you use it in multitimbral mode with multiple outputs you'll have to write any automation onto the assigned Aux tracks as automating the single Midi tracks for K3 does not work.
Altogether K3 is an awesome mashine with clear improvements compared to K2. -

Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) lags since I connected a 2nd monitor - HELP!!
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd monitor and i have lags every 5 seconds which
last about half a second (feels like 10 or less fps during the lag).
It happens with all kinds of applications. It gets worse with multiple
applications openend at a time. The crazy thing is that it only occurs
when i start to use both monitors at the same time. When i e.g. use
Logic 9.1 and use one monitor everything runs nice and smoothely
but as soon as i move the window slowly to the 2nd monitor i can
see the window lagging while I'm moving it. This is really annoying
because it seems not every input from the mouse/keyboard gets
into the system and its not a smooth workflow at all.
I switched the monitors connections but it didn't help.
Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz 8-core
Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.2 )
6GB RAM (2x2gb kingston, and the usual 2x1gb)
ATI 2600XT and 3 HDD.
1 Monitor 24" LG W2452T running at 1920 x 1200
1 Monitor 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW running at 1680 x 1050
I really hope that you guys can help me out with this one.
What could be the problem? The ATI 2600XT should definately
be able to handle two screens at once with such little graphics
in logic 9 ?!
I want to run Logic 9 and an analyzer software (Spectre from AudiofileEngineering)
at the same time but its not possible with the LAG.
The problem/lags also occur when i sync the monitors.
Would a 2nd graphics card be a solution? But as I said
before its not a graphics demanding application.
Is it a hardware or software problem?
Summary:
- The whole System lags (not just one monitor) when
I start to use both monitors (having application windows on both).
I've got minor lags when using only one display and leave the
2nd one with the desktop wallpaper clean.
I tried:
-using only the 2x1 GB RAM which came with the mac pro
-using only the 2x2 GB Kingston RAM
Thank you in advance for your help guys!
RickHey all,
I wasn't able to fix this yet.
I did everything I can think of. I even tried to wire
one monitor with a VGA cable but it didn't help.
I even have small lags when I am moving the Safari window
between the 2 monitors. Really little lags then but they
definitely are noticeable. I can make a video of that
if that would help someone understanding.
Hope there is someone out there who can help me with this.
Thanks already for any advice!
Cheers,
Rick
Edit: Do you think a new graphics card like the ATI 4870 would
help it? But I really don't want to spend more money just to
have 2 monitors while i have already 2 dvi connections on the
ati 2600XT.

1st-gen Mac Pro does not boot in any way, not even in safe mode
I have a 1st-generation Mac Pro with the graphics card upgraded to NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT; running 10.7.2. I have had no problems with the machine since I bought it in May 2007... until now. Specifically, the machine suddenly became non-responsive, froze (I do not remember this ever happening before), so I had to power it down and restart. After that, the machine does not boot in any way: does not start up with the Option key; no FireWire target mode; does not start up even in the safe mode. All I get when I power the machine up is the folllowing endless loop: (1) the display unit (30" Apple Cinema Display) waking up from sleep (white light going off) and (2) a flicker of white on the display while the optical drive sounds like checking for any inserted media... then again the display going to sleep for a few seconds and steps (1) and (2).
I could really use help here. Thank you in advance.Linc:
I am also sure it is a hardware fault. I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test from the orginal system disc: I opened the optical drive tray with a paper clip, inserted the disc and powered up the machine. However the machine only spinned up the disc, turned the display to standby, spinned up and standby, etc.
What kind of hardware fault could it be?
(1) the display unit (30" Apple CInema Display) -- I presume unlikely, since the computer should boot even with a defunct display unit or no display unit at all, for that matter;
(2) the graphics card
or
(3) the logic board? -

My mac Pro can't boot OS X, if it connected with iPod video
Hi All~ I have received the new Mac Pro, but I don't know why..... if
my iPod video(60G) had connected with USB ports of Mac Pro, then I can't
boot my OS system.... that seems the Mac Pro can't reach my hard
disk, because the apple log doesn't appear (nothing on the screen)
and everything is blocked, however when I put out the iPod, the Mac
would go into the system smoothly, I don't know why. there is no
problem with my powerbook or iMac G4 as the same situation to boot
the OS system. Is a new rule to start the system with Intel CPU?
Can anyone tell me what happen with my Mac Pro, does it have something wrong? Thanx
Reeeeegards,Hi everybody!
I´ve a similar problem. However, in my case it´s not when I boot Mac OS X but when I boot into bootcamp with Windows XP. It takes a loooooooong time for the Mac to start the booting when my 80gig ipod is connected to the USB-port . Maybe you also have just to wait longer?
If I disconnect the ipod during this waiting period from the USB-port, the Mac starts booting immediatelly! Fortunatelly I´ve no problem when directly booting into Mac OS X.
Direct connection or connection via self-powered USB-hub, disk-mode or no disk-mode, ipod formated in Mac or Windows format, I tried everything, but it all made no difference. Any advice to solve the problem would be very wellcome.
By the way, I´ve another ipod connected via firewire, this is not causing any boot-trouble. -
Mac pro (2013) fails to see usb 3.0 connected drives in boot selection screen
Hi,
I am using the late MacPro and have three drives attached via an USB 3.0 hub (Anker Uspeed USB 3.0 7 Port Hub).
The hub has a VIA VL812 chipset with the latest firmware update (9081) - I have verified this.
My problem is, when I enter the boot device selection screen (by pressing the alt-key during startup) none of the drives is recognized.
When I plug any drive directly into one of the four USB 3.0 ports of the MacPro, thereby bypassing the hub, it becomes visible and I can use it to boot.
AFTER the boot process, when OS X has finished loading, everything works fine. I have used two of the drives to backup several GBs of data from my main drives (connected via Thunderbolt) with no issues.
Is anybody able to connect drives through a USB 3.0 hub and use them in the boot selection screen? Which USB hub do you have?
Thanks
MartinGot the latest firmware?
