Mac Pro 1,1 two different riser card.

When I got my Mac 1,1 Pro used, it only came with one riser card. Now I recently bought another riser card from ebay, but it is a different color (the original was light blue and the new one is indigo). Everything does work, but I was just wondering did apple use two different riser cards, because they are the same model and both were built in 2006 by Apple. Also this won't cause any optimization issue, Right? This maybe a small thing but hey, can't be too cautious. Anyway, Thanks For Your Help.

deal with reliable place like DVWarehouse which has 1,1 part number but $70
Apple Memory Riser card for Mac Pro First Generation 922-7695 - NEW - $78
there is another vendor that also carries parts and was about $40

How to use two different network cards on RT?

Hi everyone... I'm currently working on a project where I have to deal with the issue mentioned in the thread's topic: I have a PC with RT LabVIEW that has to be able to establish network connections using two different network cards. One will be used to connect via TCP/IP with a host computer that will show the data transmitted through shared variables; the other will communicate with another PC through Modbus protocol. The key is that each communication is done through a separate network card.
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to configure both things to happen. Does anyone know how to do this? Any tips will help.
For the RT communication I'm using a standard RT project, with the RT PC being given one of the IPs, and for the Modbus part, I created an I/O server with a master and a slave. Separately everything works fine, but when I get them together it simply won't work.
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry it took me so long to answer, I've been busy lately....I've found a solution to the problem I mentioned, and just in case anyone has similar problems in the future, I'll shortly describe what happened.
As Caseyw suggested, it was necessary to enable both network cards through the Measurement and Automation Explorer. The cause of the connections malfunction was actually that I wasn't using the "right" protocol for the Modbus communication, which ran on the secondary adapter. The solution was to use the URL protocol with the correct path on the field, addressing the right IP address. To avoid making this post a mixture of topics, I won't elaborate futher, but I got the gist of it, so if anyone is having similar problems whether it is working with several network cards or with Modbus communication protocols, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks

Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.

but this discussion is clearly for people that have multiple accounts because they have multiple credit cards.
This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion. Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines. I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly. If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto. I bought iPhoto on my personal account. I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account. Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

Using a Mac Pro w / Apple Internal Hardware RAID Card?

Anyone using a Mac Pro with a Apple Hardware RAID Card 2010?
( I have a 12 Core )
Is it worth the $600-700 ?
How much faster than the software RAID 0?
I see Hamm's RAID tips chart .. but it doesn't include such options .. plus it is based on a PC system.
Any tips would be great ..
I find many areas where the application is slow / unresponsive .. and I'm not sure where the bottleneck is ... Maybe the hardware RAID will solve it?
I'm really am impressed with CS5 .. it would be even better with some adjustments .. but I am absolutely disappointed with sluggish performance on my top-of-the-line Mac Pro 12 Core.
This is not what I expected for a $8,000 machine.
Some users says that the port of CS5 for the Mac has taken a back seat to the Windows version at Adobe.
I can't imagine that Adobe would not put 100% effort into Mac products.
Go Team!!!

I have a 2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz Quad core w/ Apple RAID card, 16GB RAM from OWC, and Apple's Radeon HD 5870 GPU.
I have RAID 0 set across 3x1TB drives internally, and the standard 640GB drive for OSX and all program files. I set all video assets, renders, previews and such on the 3TB RAID.
This seems to work wonderfully. I built this system specifically to edit a feature film shot on P2 DVCProHD, and I've been impressed with how it handles it. This was all built prior to CS5, which took me by surprise. Had I known nVidia would become such a problem for Apple, I would have built a PC, but that's another story.
I just started a new project in CS5 on the same system, this time using H.264 video from my Nikon D7000, and so far, it seems to play just as nicely, despite not having hardware acceleration via CUDA technology. Yellow bars on top, even. I haven't had any problems with clips taking a long time to populate on the timeline or any of that, so perhaps the RAID card helps there.
All this aside, I've already decided to upgrade my RAID for another reason. Right now, my backup is performed via an eSATA-connected external drive through a PCI eSATA card. After every edit session, I dump everything on the RAID onto the external drive, and it goes much faster than the old FW800 transfer used to. I'm about to replace my Apple RAID card with an Areca card and set up a 4-bay RAID 3 via an SAS connection. This will allow for excellent data throughput while offering more security than my current RAID 0 / manual backup system, and free up the internal drives for backups, exports and render files.
I believe in hardware RAID, but I'm not as knowledgeable as Harm and others are about it. I had my Mac built to order with the Apple RAID card, so I have no experience using Premiere with a software RAID. Due to my smooth experience using it, I think it was worth it, but plenty of people say the Apple RAID card is rubbish, and to go with Areca or Atto cards. I didn't know about them until after I built my system, and even though it will cost a couple thousand to upgrade my RAID from this point, I expect to have an even better system than I already have.
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions I didn't address.

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
This is the link
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
Sole traders need an option too.

Playing two sound waves across two different sound cards simutaneously?

Hello all.
With the help from old board posts and the example VIs packaged with Labview 2009 SP1, I was able to get part of the way.
The goal is to simutaneously play two .wav files, to two different sound cards. So far:
1) I can play one wav file to either sound card
2) I can generate two sine waves of different tones, and push each out to the two cards seperately simutaneously.
But when I replace those two tones from #2 with .wav files, the wave files play alternately. So wav_1 plays to sound_card_1, THEN wav_2 plays to sound_card_2, not simutaneously.
Is it even possible to play 2 wav files simutaneously out to different cards?
I've included a VI of the attempt in #2 above. Disclaimer: my labview skills are minimal and this vi was very experimental so it's probably terrible form.
Solved!

Tzoom84,
Since there is no way to buffer your sound output on the sound card and use hardware triggering you will be limited to software start timing. You could use semaphores as you said, or simply wire both of the Sound Output writes in parallel inside a single while loop. Since windows is nondeterministic the best you will likely achieve is the two outputs starting within tens of milliseconds of one another. The time between the two starting will be affected by all other processes running on your system and may take much longer.

I have a Mac Pro tower with two internal Hard Discs, each one 2TB. I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But it does not allow me to back up because it says there is not enough back up space available. Between the two HDs there are 3.3TBs. Can I daisy chain TC?

I have a Mac Pro tower (OSX version 10.6.3) with two internal Hard Drives, each one 2TB.
I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But cannot back up because it tells me there is not enough space.
I have more than 3Tbs to store to the new TC.
Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?

Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
No, you cannot link to produce a single large partition.
But you can have two separate backup jobs.. and use each partition. That is hard on TM but you can easily get a different backup software for it.
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
In TM you do a different setup and exclude the other drive.
But it is better to use an alternative software IMHO.
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
You would need to use a network drive of more than 4TB .. it would also take forever. This is just wrong way to do it. Although you can buy a NAS that will work with Time Machine and load it with disks 16TB is possible.. if you can get a second mortgage.. the fragile nature of TM on 3rd party devices.. would leave me in cold sweat if anything went wrong.
TM is excellent at keeping incremental backups of files that keep changing.. as such you should use TM to backup your OS disk and main user directory.. exclude all files and directories that never change. Back them up separately.
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?
Yes, that is a much better idea. You want to store photos safely and you want to store them in multiple places. If you have multiple TB of photos, dedicate a couple of disks to the backup. ie have at least two copies.. not in backup format.. in straight copy format if possible.. so you can keep one of the disks offsite.
I would be using your MacPro internal disk access, to place the disk onto sata bus and do the copy disk to disk direct. Or even buy esata card.. or sata to esata converter cable so you can use esata box. That will beat any other transfer speed except thunderbolt for which you would need third mortgage. (The MORT in mortgage is significant).
The great jurist Sir Edward Coke, who lived from 1552 to 1634, has explained why the term mortgage comes from the Old French words mort, "dead," and gage, "pledge." It seemed to him that it had to do with the doubtfulness of whether or not the mortgagor will pay the debt.

Intensity Pro Disappears from two different systems

I posted this question on the BMD forums and with BMD tech directly, still no answer, going to try my luck here!
I have two Mac Pros (MacPro3,1 early 2008), one is running 10.6.8 and the other is running 10.9.2. Each of them has an Intensity Pro card in it. I'm not sure when this problem started, but I'd say about a year ago in BMD drivers I didn't have this issue. I'd like to roll back to a working version of the BMD drivers, but I don't know which one to go to.
For a while now, after a few reboots, the card disappears from the system and isn't detected by the computer or the drivers, or Media Express.
I have tried rebooting, clearing the EFI, clearing the boot caches, but the only thing that seems to work is moving the card to a different PCIe slot. Then it's fine for a few months, eventually disappears again, and I move it back to the old slot, and it shows up again for another few months.
The machines are identical, except one has a Radeon 5000 series video card. They both have 16GB RAM, and no other cards in the PCIe slots, save the GPU.
Wierd huh?
*UPDATE*
I am now running V10 drivers on the Mavericks system, and V8.6.1 on the Snow Leopard system. No change. Every time I have to power off or reboot, the cards are gone. Then I have to shut the machine off again, move the offending cards to different slots, start up again, and they're back...
Note: This doesn't affect my Radeon cards or my UAD1 card.

I'm currently running Blackmagic Desktop Video Macintosh 9.9.2 on a Mac Pro 5,1 (2010) with Mavericks (10.9.2) without any issues (using an BM Intensity Pro card). Previously ran Blackmagic Intensity Macintosh 3.9.4 on a Mac Pro 2,1 (2007) with Snow Leopard without issue.

Mac Pro 2.66 Xeon: dual graphic cards problem, caused by Firmware fault?

strange bug with Mac Pro 2.66 Xeon:
I have two Displays, 20 and 23".
When both connected to the standard NVIDIA card in the Mac Pro, evreything is fine.
I ordered a second NVIDIA card wich I installed in slot 4, using 8 lanes for this card.
Now, when one display is connected to the standard card and the second display is connected to the second NVIDIA card, the screen of the display connected to the build in card (the 16 lanes card) does noet refresh correctly. You can not see what iMovie is displaying for example, iMovie screen is white and does not display what should be on screen.
Sometimes none of the main screen is refresehd (example: Safari content is not updated, while in fact it is!) but the mousecursor moves correctlyon screen.
Also third party software (like FotoMagico) is not updated on screen
Connecting both displays to one card and everything is fine!
A strange bug wich I guess is related to the Mac Pro firmware
I've tried the second NVIDIA card in all the PCI-E slots to see if this makes a difference, it does not.
I used the PCI-E configure tool to vhange the speed of the lanes for the PCI-E slots, also this makes no diffrence.
At this moment my second card is not usable.
This is a problem on all three Mac Pro's we tried this on (2.66 version, 2 machines with 1Gb RAM, 1 machine with 3Gb RAM), latest OS 10.4.7
Starting in safe mode makes no difference on either Mac Pro

Just to clarify what you have: both displays are Apple? 3rd party (Dell etc)? and the 2nd NVIDIA came from Apple, right? because you do need EFI-based video (and BIOS as well for it to work in XP).
What if you try just the 2nd card by itself? and if you attach both monitors to it, does it work normally then? Want to make sure it works by itself.
I would expect it is the drivers that need work.

Monitor goes dark on 2008 Mac Pro Tower with ATI Radeon 5870 Card

I have a 2008 Quad Core Intel Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.8.
The original graphics card had trouble with HD movies of any kind and eventually my screen would sometimes not turn on (stayed black) when the computer was turned on.
So I replaced the graphics card for both reasons to a ATI Radeon 5870 PCIe with a GB rather than the 256 that came with the machine.
The problem was solved. I got a new monitor, one that is like the latest ones and all has been working great for a few years.
Then recently the monitor started going dark while the computer was on. (no screen saver or anything like that, I can be in the middle of work on a photo or video).
Trouble shooting I have tried.
A forum said drag the mouse to the hot corner for a while and then back. Well, I tried, assuming I was dragging the mouse to the corner. Didn't work.
I tried using the keyboard commands to shut down the computer. It didn't work.
I tried plugging the keyboard into other USB ports and tried to shut down the computer. No luck.
The only thing that works is shutting down the computer with the power button.
on start up the monitor is back on.
Sometimes it works for days like this, other times the monitor stays on only minutes.
The monitor is fine. Tested my old monitor on the computer to make sure it wasn't my new monitor.
So the questions are:
Can it be over heating?
is it worn out, toast, done and or dead and dieing?
Should I buy a replacement graphics card VS finally upgrading and getting a new computer (lots of $$$$ but then I do work in HD Video so....)
any help is appreciated
thanks
john

Replacing FBDIMMs would be today inexpensive and worth doing.
No one knows if heat is an issue without your using thermal sensor monitor. Probably want to up the default fan speeds while at it.
And because you don't have Lion+ then even more reason to setup a small maintenace volume on another drive with OS X basic system for repairs. In fact you should always have a bootable backup or two you can rely on.
Restarting may work, or it may be you have now new issue with corrupt fies or directory that a safe boot even is no guarantee of fixing.
When in doubt, try a clean new OS install on another drive.
And FBDIMMs: $25 for a 2x2GB set on Amazon.com
You want to get the most out of what you have, a small investment in RAM, maybe recycle those drives for 2-4TB units. And an SSD will have system responding better and perform better.
My guess, the 5870 wasn't needed and was overkill and a 5770 for almost half would have been more than adequate.

Installing Windows 7 With Boot Camp on Mac Pro 3.1 w/GTX285 Video card

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running the latest version of OS 10.6 with all updates. I have an nVidia GTX285 card installed in the Mac Pro that has been working fine for at least six months under OS 10.6 with Mac drivers downloaded from the nVidia web site and installed under OS 10.6. I replaced the ATi 2600XT video card with the nVidia GTX285 in order to have CUDA support in Premier Pro CS 5 and it works beautifully.
I now wish to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on this Mac Pro. I have never had any version of Windows installed on this Mac Pro. I am using Boot Camp assistant and a new full version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My question is do I need to remove the GTX 285 graphics card and replace it with my AT 2600XT before installing Windows 7? This would be a real pain to do because the two connectors to the motherboard are hard to get to. However, since Apple never used the GTX285 in any of its computers, I am worried that I will not have any video display when I go to try and install Windows 7 with Boot Cam assistant.
Please advise me whether removing the graphics card is necessary before installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

NO.... he has a workstation, and not MBP, nor are "drivers already loaded."
How I would proceed -
Install Windows on its own drive.
Pull all the other drives.
Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
Forget Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn't do anything - unless you really want to install Windows on the SAME drive as Mac OS - not ideal and not what most of Mac Pro owners do.
Just insert your OS X DVD once Windows is up to date - helps to buy the SP1 OEM version $129.
Run Apple SETUP.exe (Boot Camp 3.0.x drivers) and update with ASU or manually to 3.2.
No you don't need to go back and use that ATI. And you dont' want to be in the situation of changing from ATI to Nvidia and all the hassle that adds. you are fine.
The Mac Pro is as close as anything to a standard Wintel workstation.
Add MS Security Essentials or KIS or whatever you favor. KIS2011 or NIS2011 are good, MSSE 2.0 is free and based on their enterprise product.

Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008) RAID card hangs at startup

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 2.8Ghz Quad Core (early 2008) with 10GB RAM and 512MB VRAM.
I have noticed that the Mac Pro RAID card hangs at startup for RAID volumes.
It seems to start okay with a single boot drive (have used both WD Raptor 150GB 10K and Seagate 'factory' 320GB 7200rpm as boot drives...)
But the RAID 0 array using two factory 1TB WD 7200rpm is what seems to hang at startup. I have run Disk Warrior, Disk Utility and RAID Utility and found no major errors...
Any suggestions? Have already replaced the RAID Card battery with OEM part.
Thanks!

Say good-bye to the Apple Pro RAID card. It started its life as a $999 card to support SAS/SCSI and/or RAID5.
Then the problems with 2.5TB drives, battery, and does it really do something and add to your system.
I would use SoftRAID and create a 3-drive mirror of 2TB drives instead.
And an SSD for the system.
Seems like those are some very old drives.
I have a lot of the 150GB 10K VR drives, and some 300GB along with older 74GB and a couple of the Raptor series. Loud and while solid I would use for spare boot drives, clone only.
Backup your data, pull the RAID card, and restore to the drives. And clone the system onto a 250GB $109 SSD. $139 buys a 400MB/sec writes and 800MB/sec reads Samsung PCIe-SSD XP941. None of my SCSI 15K drives would come close.

Mac Pro 1,1 two different riser card.
