Mac Pro international power cable

Hello everyone, I am currently abroad, but would like to purchase the Mac Pro via the UK online store to be able to profit from student discount (I study in the UK). I realize that if I order the Mac Pro in the UK store, it will come with a UK power lead. Given that I am currently abroad, is there a way to buy the power lead for my specific country (I don't know if it's a good idea to run the Mac Pro through a plug converter 24/7)?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You just need a pin converter and it's alright to use.

  • Need ATI X1900 internal power cable

    Hi all,
    A friend gave me an ATI X1900 video card but didn't have the internal power cable for the video card. I have a Nov. 2007 Mac Pro that already has an ATI X1900. I would like to add this "new" ATI X1900 as a secondary video card.
    Where can I get the needed power cable? Is there any else I need to watch out for?
    Any info will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Is there any else I need to watch out for?
    High power cards, such as the ATI X199, should be used only in slots 1 or 2. Slots 3 and 4 are for low power cards.

  • My mac pro's power adapter has something wrong, sometime can work, sometime dosen't, can you fix it?

    my mac pro's power adapter has something wrong, sometime can work, sometime dosen't, can you fix it? i brought this mac pro last year.

    No, we can't fix it. Probably live half the world away from you and don't have telephatic powers....
    But you can try yourself. First, make sure the connector is absolutely clean. The gold pins on the cable end should all move freely and fully extend out. The gold pads on the Mac connector should be spotlessly clean, and the area around them, where the metal ring on the cable goes in, should be free of any debris that may impede full seating and contact.
    Next, the cable on the power brick should be in good condition, without kinking or fraying. If there is any damage, only solution is replacement, it is not serviceable.
    Lastly, make sure the battery is ok. Go to the About This Mac item in the Apple menu, do More Info... / System Report... and select Power on the left column. In the Battery Information, Health section, make sure the Condition is Normal. Else, will need replacement.

    Severe Incompatibility between Mac Pro 2012 power supply and Tripp Lite LC2400 [switching transformer].
    The Mac Pro will not power on when connected to the Tripp Lite LC2400. The Power Supply makes continuous clicking noises and repeatedly resets the Mac Pro every 3 seconds.
    The same Mac Pro connected to an outlet with no Tripp Lite starts up with no problem.

    I've the same notebook. I've not had any hardlocks so far, but I've not seen so much flash movies yet. Anyway, I just tried closing running youtube-video tab on Kde4 + enabled desktop effects -> Everything's fine.
    Anyway, perhaps we can collect some issues and solutions in this thread. Here are problems, that I encounter:
    - restart does not work
    - errors during boot:

    - in order to make nvidia graphics working you have to disable Optimius in BIOS.
    - Battery not recognized -- fixed after recend updates
    - grub2 does not work. As soon as grub2 loads, the laptop reboots. -> stick to grub1  --  works now (either I did sth wrong the first time or a new version of grub2 fixes this issue)
    - in order to make the touchpad work properly install psmouse-elantech from AUR
       update: this is only a half-solution. vertical scrolling on the right edge works but graphical tools which rely on x11-input-synpatics still don't work. However, everything works fine with kernel 3.3. Once this in the main arch repos you won't need psmouse-elantech anymore.

  • Raiding Mac Pro Internal Drives

    I have a Mac Pro 2008 edition, I need fast performance of my internal drives. I could use 2 of my 1 TB installed drives and raid them.
    I am not after security of data (I use a drobo for that) but I need fastest performance for video editing. (Encoding) The more I search the web, the more answers I get.
    Hope to get the best advice here in this Forum.
    Thank you
    Dorian

    Then those are not really suitable, they are probably green models.
    Not that hard to move your data, or to invest in enterprise WD Black 2TB or Hitachi Ultrastars.
    The boot drive can be small and lean but fast SSD or WD 10K VelociRaptor. Or 2-3 raided together.

  • Brtand New Mac Pro Internal Optical Drive Won't Work

    Actually, this is a two parter. My new Mac Pro internal optical drive rejects every disk I insert. It won't read anything. Should I get it replaced? Part two: I have an external Sony optical drive which was working up until yesterday. Today, I was going to go through some disks and now THAT drive is rejecting everything. I had it connected via USB and changed it to a 400 to 800 firewire. I tried to read some disks again and still they get rejected. What can I do to correct these problems?

    I am having the exact same problem with my mac pro since upgrading to 10.5.7 neither of my drives will read CD or DVD and it states that no burning software was found in the system profiler

  • Conecting 15 machinse (8 mac Pro + 7 Power Mac G4) to one mac mini.

    I need to Conecting 15 machinse (8 mac Pro + 7 Power Mac G4) to one mac mini at the same time with out destrict me after 10 or 11 logins or i need the Software "Apple File Share Server or Apple Share IP instaler to run on Mac OS 9.2.2.

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'll look into getting a good quality UPS in the meantime, however the situation changed the other day when I came home from work.
    I turned on the Mac and it got as far as the login screen. After about two minutes of being on the login screen (I didn't actually enter my details or touch anything at this stage) it just turned itself off randomly. Therefore, I don't think what I'm trying to do in Avidemux is totally to blame for the problem in this respect.
    After the Mac turned itself off this time, it wouldn't let me turn it back on for about 30 seconds of pressing the power button. When it finally started up again, it seemed to run fine for the rest of the evening.
    Does this sound like the power supply is on its way out or could it be something else? If I need a new power supply, will I need a specific type of power supply and not just a standard PC one?
    Any further help appreciated.

  • Mac Pro 2013 power rating

    This thing isn't meant to be used at full power, right?
    I mean clearly 450W isn't enough to power 250W+250W for the D700s, 130W for the processor, and maybe around ~30-50W for the rest of the system?
    What's the catch here? Why underpower it? Why make a product that can't handle its own specs? Even if there was a bigger power source for all of this to work, that "cooling system" has nowhere near the capacity to manage all of that heat. I'm of course assuming full usage on both the graphics and cpu at the same time, which isn't at all an uncommon task.
    What I want to know how much throttling happens, and at what configuration can i fully use all of the components at their full potential? Can the base system configuration do this?

    there was a good discussion as often happens over on MacRumors MacPro forum that touched on this very aspect and it does point to it not being able to handle maxing out and stressing both graphic units plus processor.
    I usually throw in 100W for RAM, storage (even though this one barely needs any for its PCIe-SSD), and whatever power goes into 6 Thunderbolt ports.
    300W use to be what 4 x 75W for the four PCIe slots in OLD Mac Pro.
    Electrical and operating requirements
    Line voltage: 100-240V AC
    Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
    Maximum continuous power: 450W
    http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
    Step 22 ¶  
    With a rated output of 12.1 Volts and 37.2 Amps, we're looking at a 450 Watt power supply. The power supply has no dedicated cooling, and relies on the main system fan to keep cool—allowing the Mac Pro to idle at a whisper-quiet 12 dBA. 
    For comparison, we found a 450 Watt PSU in our recent Steam Machine teardown. The Steam Machine's SilverStone power supply featured a "silent running 80 mm fan with 18 dBA minimum."
    And a quick look at what's left on the behemoth of a heat sink: Heavy gauge, flat power cables run from the PSU to the logic board and graphics cards, and remain intertwined in the heat sink.

  • Mac Pro flashing power light (unresponsive)

    Hello,
    Twice this week a Mac Pro Quad 2.66 has become unresponsive after being left unattended. I have revived the computer by resetting the System Management Controller (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1806).
    It's obvious this is not normal. Should I bring the computer in for repair? Is there something else I should be doing?
    Connected to the computer are:
    - Two Lacie Electron 19 Blue III monitors
    - Lacie usb drive
    - Lacie firewire 400 drive
    - JVC DV-HRS2 Mini DV deck (firewire)
    - both ethernet ports are being used
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    No USB hubs or USB/FW on the monitors. The lacie drives are older models and don't have the On/Off/Auto switch.
    I think this happens when the computer and drive go to sleep. I will try to change the cables and plug the drives in one at a time.
    Thanks Hatter.
    The hatter wrote:
    A device that doesn't support sleep and loses communication. And LaCie. USB devices and cables. Any USB hub.
    Could be as simple as a USB cable; Firewire cable... does the Electron have USB and/or FW ports also?
    LaCie recommends unplugging everything, shutting down, no power cord even and let sit a couple minutes.
    Try without your peripherals and then try one at a time.
    The big problem is if you are doing a hard restart w/o repairing your drives, whether you safely eject your drives first.
    LaCie cables and power adapters can be a problem as I said, but any hub, mouse, keyboard can cause a problem but most often the mouse moves but you can't do anything and system is unresponsive.
    No you don't need to take it in. I doubt Apple Hardware Test would find anything either.

  • MAC PRO Internal USB ports stopped working

    Hello, I have a mac pro 8 core with an USB internal ports problem, the 2 in front are not working anymore, and from the 3 in the back only the middle one is working.
    I tried to pull all the power out for a whole night, resetting the pram and nvram but nothing helps.
    When for example I put in a keyboard in one of the ports that is not working and when I power up the machine and I press the ALT key I get the choice of startup preferences, once I select one, and the system boots up the ports stops working, so before the OS loads the usb ports are working !!!
    What to do ??

    This is a hardware failure. While USB ports on the whole are just not designed very well, leading to their failures being pretty common, your issue sounds a bit more like the USB controller chip is failing.
    In any case, the answer is to take it to a repair shop. If they're smart about it, they'll replace the logic board and see if that also fixes the front ports. If not, they'll replace the front I/O panel as well.

  • Need internal power cable

    Hi,
    I wish to install a USB 3.0 expansion PCIe card in my early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1).  The card has a 4 pin Molex power connector;  I think it's same connector one finds for power on a parallel IDE drive.  I believe I need to connect this to the 6 pin connector on my motherboard?  Anyone know where I can get a cable?
    (PS: I posted this earlier, by mistake, in the iMac forum.  So this is a duplicate posting.  Apologies!!!)

    Grant Bennet-Alder wrote:
    Mac Pro 3,1 is the 2008 model with Molex connectors.
    Mac Pro 4,1 is the 2009 model with SATA cabling ONLY, so it would require a different cable.
    After powering off, the Optical drive enclosure is really easy to remove halfway to inspect and/or disconnect the cables (no fasteners required). Once the cables are disconnected from the drives, it can be completely removed and you can stretch out the cables and see if they will fall short, and estimate how much more would be needed.
    I am sure 72" is far more than you need -- they may even reach already.
    Thanks, Grant. I will examine the connections. My project is to add USB 3.0 card reader or other devices to the PCI expansion card I'm planning to get.
    Do you know if there are two separate DVD/CD drive power cables in the stock Mac Pro 3,1 or just a single with a Y cable between them? That is the model I have. If only one cable of the two used there, can stretch out the other one, then I'd be golden- nothing to add.
    However, I suspect that there is a Y cable there for the second DVD drive, so I would need to connect to it and extend it down to the PCI card residing in the X4 PCIe port. Yes, 6' is overkill but I can eat some up by routing the cable neatly, the rest will bundle. Probably 48" would be sufficient. That costs more to make than it is worth.
    When I take it apart, I can post pictures for anyone interested. FYI, recently put in an external antenna for the BT antenna to prevent/minimize interference with USB 3.0. Made a big improvement in level of the trackpad reception, too. USB crosstalk should be reduced and cable pickup will be reduced with the RF suppressors I used on the extension cable from the USB card reader to the card.

  • My Mac Pro wont power on please help

    My mac pro wont start up.
    I have already checked the power supply, fuses and have tried to zap the PRAM and changed the internal battery.
    The on/off button is completely unresponsive and no light is showing on the monitor

    To make progress, you need the fans to come on and the Chime. The conventional way to debug this issue is to remove EVERYTHING that could be drawing down too much power, and try for the chime.
    Remove:
    Graphics card
    any other PCIe cards
    Hard Drives
    DVD Drives
    external devices like USB devices
    all but one pair of DIMMs
    Then try to power it on. If it chimes, or the power light flashes, it's alive and can be debugged. Add back one item at a time and try for more.

  • How to take Auto backup from External Network Drive to Mac pro internal Dri

    Hi,
    I have a External Network Drive (Buffalo 1TB) which i use as a server, now i need to take auto backup from that external drive to the Mac i am working on, which has 2TB Internal hard Disk.
    Please could anyone help me on this.....
    Thanks in advance

    If you are looking to actually integrate what you have on the external one terabyte hard drive with the 2 TB hard drive you're using inside the Mac the best move for you if you want access to that data when using the Mac Pro server is going into utilities click on the top bar where it says go fall that down to the utilities told them that folder quickly once you are there you will see migration assistant click on that you will be asked to type your admin password to that. It will ask you "how do you want to transfer your information" then select from a Time machine backup or other disk when it asks you will be transferring information to your Mac Pro from your 1 Tb backup external hard drive once it's finished eject the drive or reformat it and use it again if your objective was to infect keep compress the data on the external so you have more space but do not have access to it I strongly recommend Carbon Copy Clone 3.3.1 is 100% free and does a fantastic job here is the link http://www.pure-mac.com/downloads/carboncopyclonerdl.html of copying every block to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. If you want something different and don't mind paying SuperDuper! is a great product as well this WebSite will have many options I would stick to carbon copy clone http://www.pure-mac.com/backup.html I also like EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software for the Mac it is a great product but very much on the expensive side for backup utilities although if you need word offers this might be right up your alley.
    I hope I wasn't help,
    Sincerely,

  • Problems installing windows on a clean Mac Pro internal drive - issues and questions

    Hey,
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with the following drive configurations:
    3x120GB SSD in a RAID-0 as Boot (OS X 10.8.6) and SSD Scratch (working files)
    3x4TB HDD in a RAID-0 as Master (data) and HDD Scratch (downloads)
    1x100GB SSD (Spare...to install windows on)
    I have literally tried every possible way of installing Windows 8 on that single SSD...both using bootcamp and without.
    I can get it installed and working, install all the drivers/updates/software...involving multiple reboots into windows. Everything seems fine, and i shut down and boot into OS X, which works perfectly as expected. BUT, when i try and boot into Windows again (using <option> key at startupand selecting the windows volume, called "EFI Boot" which i did not name) I can log in and start using apps and then 20-40 seconds later i get the BSOD.
    I can't for the life of me figure out why.
    It's the easiest thing in the world to partition a single OSX drive to boot windows ON THE SAME DRIVE, but i can't seem to boot stably into a standaloe internal drive.
    NOTE: I prepare the Windows drive by formatting the entire thing to "Free Space" using disk utility in Mac OS X, and can see that there are no partitions (EFI or otherwise) on the drive. Then I pull all the other drives except the target drive, reboot with a Windows 8 USB drive (created by BootCamp Assistant on my macbook air, because apparently some genius thought that task was too complicated for a Mac Pro...jks) and install from there.  The funny part is that i can pick out the target drive in the windows setup, it's registering as 1 disk/partition of UNALLOCATED SPACE, as expected, but there is a warming that windows cannot be installed on this drive because my computer does not support booting to this disk, and that i should check that it's controller is enabled in the BIOS.....which to the best of my knowledge is not used by intel-macs, which use UEFI. But i can still click "Next", so I do and install Windows and boot to this drive, restarting and installing software updates and drivers as mentioned above.
    The BSOD seems to pop up only after i've rebooted to Mac OS X and then try to go BACK to Windows 8.
    The version of windows 8 and install USB were checked using my macbook air, and they work flawlessly. ASLO that warning about not being able to boot to the drive during windows setup isn't present.
    I'm wondering if the fact the the RAID volumes are a software RAID, using Disk Utility in OSX is causing windows some issues...which makes no sense.
    I'll keep playing, but I'm not confident I'm ever going to find a solution.
    Somebody be my hero...

    Hey Hatter,
    Another question for you:
    I can't seem to use system preferences>>startup disk to boot into windows. When I select windows and then restart i get a black "BIOS-like" screen which then cuts out and a message is displayed that says "there is no bootable disc"
    This stumped me, because I know i can boot into windows from the boot screen (holding down option and selecting "EFI Boot" which apparently is what my windows drive is called.
    because of my Mac OSX Raid arrays, i had to install windows by formatting a drive to HFS+ (GUID) pratition table, then repartition to "Free Space" then using an install usb that i made with my macbook air, pull all my other drives and install by selecting the usb drive to boot from.
    I went into disk utility to see if I can repair the disk, and disk utility says that the disk has to EFI partition and that we won;t be able to boot from it....which is very confusing because i can boot from it.
    Windows 8 apparentl;y uses UEFI from my research....so i'm utterly stumped.
    I beleive this is also the cause of my newly purchased graphics card Mac Edition HD 7950, throwing me a BSOD when i select to boot in windows from the boot menu...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro dvi hdmi cable

    I am sending video signal over a 50FT HDMI To DVI from my Mac Pro (3,1) via ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro (5.0 GT/s) (181062917108) and I cannot get a constant signal to my TV. The signal stays on for a few seconds or several hours or my TV (Samsung) says there is no signal or I get just a gray static screen.
    I never had a problem before with my previous video card the 512MB nVidia GeForce 8800GT with a 25ft long cable. Any ideas people?

    A cable of about 5 meters (16 ft) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.[114] With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 ft).[114]
    from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
    You may need a higher-quality cable or a lower resolution for your display to make this work without an HDMI Repeater.
