Mac Pro + 22" Apple Display
Apologies for this as I'm sure it's answered somewhere but I can't find it! I have purchased Mac Pro 8 Core 2.93 and simply wish to know if my existing Apple 22" (old style, horizontal lined casing)flat screen display needs any additional connections to link up with the Mac Pro out of the box. The new mac is standard specification, no additions. Thank you in advance for any advice.

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

is it true that some non apple display don't seem to be liked by mac pro. i have a dell E207WEP 20" display and with my mac pro it makes diagonal line ripples. its only with my mac pro. my past quad G5 didn't have this problem. + nothing wrong with my mac pro bc it works fine with apple displays and few others. nothing wrong with my display bc it works with other computers. but i've noticed that when i took the display to the store the same problem occurred which i used it with a store mac pro. is it a mac pro + dell compatibility issue? apple even replaced my ATI HD2600 but it did not fix anything.
its very weird bc this monitor and mac pro isn't meant to be. what do you think about this: http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/10/radeon.2600.xt.for.mac.pro/

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?
StephanieTo prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them -

Windows and Mac Pro w/ Apple RAID card
It happened i have a need to run Windows natively on Mac Pro with Apple RAID card installed.
I know there is no Windows driver for that card, but i had a hope to bypass RAID card via connecting of internal SATA drive directly to iPass(SSF-8087) connector of Mac Pro's motherboard and using of that drive for Windows.
So, i've connected SATA drive this way and it works fine with OS X.
But i can't even try it with Windows because Mac Pro doesn't boot up from Windows installation CD if Apple RAID card installed
Empty black text console is all that i've got after selecting of Windows installation CD in EFI boot menu.
I need a suggestion how to bypass my problem, or generally speaking, how to install Windows onto Mac Pro with Apple RAID card.I've tried that.
Installation and booting of WinXP passed OK if RAID card removed.
But i've got black screen again trying to boot WinXP after RAID card re-installed. -
My apple password works with IPad,mac pro and apple store. Apple movies do not accept the same password. It all worked fine until three weeks ago.I have changed nothing
Username and password are not apparently an Apple Care issue they refer you to iTunes support (email) to resolve this issue with iTunes and Netflix account

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.
Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
hard drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time. -
I have downloaded Windows 8 on my Mac Pro 13'' retina display. The first few hours everything worked fine until I open windows today and the trackpad/mouse and keyboard aren't working. Ive tried resetting windows but it didnt work. help appreciated thanks
It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch... -
My Mac Pro is not displaying any images for videos or games, it is showing sound and working but nothing else. DVD player is also coming up with an error. I'm not sure why neither is working, it just suddenly happened. I have done nothing different.
Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands. -
TS4384 Why my Mac Pro with retina display is become hot while on charging
Why my Mac Pro with retina display is become hot while on charging
Yes. Don't cover the Mac with cases or "skins" or use keyboard covers, since they impede proper heat dissipation. Its entire case serves as a heat sink.
If you are concerned contact AppleCare. A Mac should never become so hot you can't hold it. -
How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?
Dear Mac users
thanks in advance for your help.
I currently own:
• Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
• Mac Pro
• Apple Cinema Display 23’
What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641� or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475� or
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258�
+ others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
Now, my questions are:
a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
Thank you very much for your help.
If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
Regards,
EmilNoone to help me?
No ideas?
Thanks,

2008 Mac Pro and Apple Cinema Display 27"
Is there some sort of adapter that would allow me to plug the new Apple Cinema Display 27" with a 2008 Mac Pro? Or what change would I have to make to be able to work this out?
Adrian - did you end up getting an adapter and using it? I purchased the Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter (AT-DP200) to connect my 2008 MacbookPro (with GeForce 8600M GT) to the new 27 in. Cinema display, and though it works, it looks a bit fuzzy in terms of resolution. Having read the response here about making sure it is a DUAL link converter, I was going to try to return it for the AT-DP400.
Then I read another thread on here that seemed to indicate that the AT-DP400 would not work at all with the 2008 Macbook Pro.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2585380&tstart=0
So now I'm confused. Just wondering what your experience is, if you ended up with getting the display and converter.
