MAC Pro and Custom Install of X11

I am obviosuly missing something really simple here but how do you do a custome install on the MAc Pro. I cannot find the otpion, that I though was availbe to me on my old G5. I am not happy about starting the MAC using the Install disjk as it seems to suggest that this will do a re- install of the OS without giving me the option to select only the X11 software
Thanks for the help

  • Can I remove a CD Rom from one Mac pro and re-install it in another mac pro

    One mac pro, my computer has a CD ROM that doesn't open and my brother's old Mac Pro has a CD ROM that still opens and closes how easy would it be for me to remove the CD ROM from my brother's old Mac Pro and re-install it in my Mac Pro

    You cannot cross the line without changing the cabling, which may be more expensive that just replacing the drive with a new one.
    You both should be sure to update to 10.6.8 if you have not already done so, to provide enhanced malware protection. If you cannot do that, turn off JAVA (not javascript) in all your Browsers.

  • I have had a new mac pro. and i installed office mac 2011. however, whenever i try to start word, excel or powerpoint, it always appears 'what's new in Word: Mac 2011. what should i do?

    i am using the Microsoft Word:Mac 2011. however, whenever i open the folder, it appeared "what's new in Microsoft Word: Mac 2011 and stay there forever. i can not do anything else. what should I do to create a new document or open an old ones?
    thank you

    Do you not have a Continue button at the lower right of that screen? Click it and the box will flip over. Click Cancel and shut down Word. Launch it again to get the same screen of document choices. You now have an check box at the bottom for "Don't show this when opening Word". Check the box if you prefer not to see this project manager, then click Cancel. The document manager will go away and you'll be presented with a blank document. This is way it will now always start.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

  • I just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    i just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    You would have to purchase Microsoft Office for the Mac, if you want genuine Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. There are other less costly compatible and work-alike products available.
    To install Microsoft Windows, you need to buy Microsoft Windows software, run BootCamp software and partition your Boot Drive, then install Microsoft Windows in its own disk partition, which is a fairly complex process. Then, while running Windows, Install whatever other Windows programs you would like to run. None of this is necessary to simply read and write Microsoft Word or Excel documents.
    There are other compatibility options that you may find adequate for other Windows programs. What do you want to run in Windows?

  • I just installed a 3TB hard drive on an early 2008 mac pro and the system doesn't recognize the drive.  What now?

    I just installed a 3TB hard drive on an early 2008 mac pro and it is not recognized/not visible.  What now?

    If the drive is correctly installed on to the sled, and the mounting screws are snug, not tight, and the sled is inserted properly so that all the roof-tangs catch as the sled is inserted, failure to show up in Disk Utility means the drive is not useable.
    A Bug in 10.8.4 and later precludes Disk Utility ERASE-ing large drives in Internal bays. Use PARTITION only, and create one new partition, GUID partition Map, Mac OS Extended (journaled) Volume.

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro and want to install a 3TB internal hard drive. Is this compatible? The manual indicates 1 TB per bay, but I have already installed two 2 TB hard drives in two other bays, and have had no problems. Any suggestions?

    RE: SATA Bus speed:
    Typical Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
    SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
    None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.

  • IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!

    I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
    - I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
    - Mac Pro early 2008
    - Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
    - iTunes 8
    Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
    And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
    Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
    However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
    It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
    What is going on??
    I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
    Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
    The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?

    // Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
    Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
    I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
    The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
    After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
    I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
    Very happy to finally have found a solution.
    If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
    Good luck!
