If the backup volume is encrypted, and you forgot the password, then you'll have to erase the volume and start a new backup. There's no way to recover the password.

You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
And in the Apple menu > about this Mac > more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.

Mac Pro refuses to establish a vpn connection

Hello out there...
I have a 6 month old Mac Pro. Unfortunately this computer refuses to establish a reliable vpn connection to my office. All the other gear I have (powerBook, iPad and iPhone) does it.
The Mac Pro is erratic. Sometimes he connects but then all of a sudden after two or three minutes the vpn connection is beeing closed. The other day it works for hours....
He did so before the system upgrade and does it now after the upgrade to 10.6.8
I am realy desperate to get a solution for that....
All the best
Peter

Hi Kris,
The ASA supports different kinds of VPN, i.e. SSL (aka SVC for Ssl Vpn Client), IPsec or L2TP/IPsec.
For IPsec it suports both IKEv1 and IKEv2 (as of version 8.4).
On the client side,
the legacy Cisco VPN client uses IPsec with IKEv1.
Anyconnect 2.x uses SSL.
Anyconnect 3.x can use either SSL or IPsec/IKEv2.
So the Cisco clients do not use L2TP, but L2TP functionality is built-in in some OS's, like Windows and Android.
Personally I have not had the opportunity yet to lay my hands on an Android device to try this out, so I hope Michael or the people in the other thread can help you out if you need more details.
As to what's different, that's a short question with a long answer
One important difference between SSL and IPsec is that at some places IPsec may not work because the network provider blocks UDP500, while SSL uses TCP443 which is usually not blocked because it's the standard port for HTTPS.
Another one is that for Anyconnect, you need a license on the ASA (it does include a free license for 2 concurrent users).
Just a few pointers:
And probably Wikipedia is a good place to start reading as well if you want the full picture

Mac Pro Lion & Default Connect To 5Ghz Airport Extreme

Hi there
I just got an Airport Extreme last week, setting it up to have a dedicated 5Ghz network as well as the 2.4Ghz one...
My Mac Pro is set up to only remember the 5Ghz, to ask me to join new network and not to remember networks I join... it's also configured to require admin password to change networks... all of this is done in an effort to prevent it from joining the 2.4Ghz network, yet it still does sometimes when I reboot my Mac or the base station itself...
In addition, despite having 'Remember Networks' de-selected, it still remembers the 2.4Ghz...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Justin

So I should name the '5Ghz network name' as the exact name as my 2.4Ghz network?
As a test, yes. That is also Apple's recommended default setting for the AirPort Extreme....designed to deliver the best performance for most users. Devices automatically choose the best connection quality this way.
It actually seems that you can't do this... going under 'Wireless Options' and trying to name the 5Ghz network with the same SSID as the 2.4Ghz results in it renaming itself after the update to the default Apple specifies (i.e, 2.4Ghz name 5Ghz)...
Bob Timmons wrote:
I thought that I wanted to separate my N devices from the rest of the network so as to achieve max speed
"n" devices operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Not sure what you mean by "separating" them. Some "n" 2.4 GHz devices cannot connect to 5 GHz, so you would want them to connect to "n" speeds on 2.4 GHz.
If you find 5 GHz faster at all Mac locations, then you'll have to continue to look for a way to insure that the Mac always connects to 5 GHz. As it stands, it appears that the Mac "thinks" that 2.4 GHz may be the better connection, and it may need some convincing to think otherwise.
That's true, but my understanding (and experience) is that if you connect any 'g' or 'b' devices to the 2.4Ghz network, any 'n' device will have its performance degraded... for instance, in my case, when connected to the 2.4Ghz, my Finder copies were around 3MB/s - on the 5Ghz, they were closer to 6MB/s
I thought that the preferred networks order was to specify preference, regardless of network strength... I guess not, though... although, maybe something is amiss because I do have it configured to require a password when changing networks and it doesn't do that at all... even when I change them manually...

Mac Pro Lion 10.7.5 will not receive bluetooth file from Macbook Leopard 10.5.8

Since late 2008, I have been running a 2.2GHz / 3,1 / 4GB MacBook, now at 10.5.8. A few days ago I bought a 2.66 GHz / 1,1 / 6GB Mac Pro, now at 10.7.5. I can not seem to get the Lion Mac Pro to successfully receive a 3.3mb file sent, via BLUETOOTH, from the Leopard Macbook. Sending the file, from the Leopard MacBook, usually, fails and gives the message, "There was an error connecting to the device". A few times I did get an incoming file alert on the Mac Pro and the file seemed to begin coming from the MacBook; however, the estimated time varied wildly and the file transfer eventually failed and displayed the aforementioned message. I have an android 2.3.6 phone and I was able to successfully send the same 3.3mb file to the Mac Pro in a matter of a minute, or so. I may downgrade the Mac Pro to 10.5.8, because I have important software/hardware that may not be supported on Lion, but, right now, I am trying to determine compatibility with my important Leopard software/hardware. For the time being, I want to send files to the Mac Pro via BLUETOOTH, as opposed to any other transfer method.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but until you resolve it do not upgrade OS X.
I would suggest you try a reinstall:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Early 2009 mac pro, lion won't install

Getting very frustrating... Download and go through all the steps and downloads additional files form online then says that i cannot install and the the lion file is damaged. I have downloaded twice and even went as far as formatting and re installing leopard and updates.
Prior to this, something that could be related. I tried to install boot camp weeks ago and it would not let me saying that my boot rom has to be updated. I have looked all over the support area and have not been able to find a boot rom update.
ANy help?

Hi,
I had the same problem when installing Lion on an early 2009 Mac Pro.
It would keep going to the Lion "Restore" disk window.
The Lion install would never complete.
The 2009 Mac Pro has the latest firmware updates.
Used a clean install of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with all Apple updates
No 3rd party software installed
12GB Memory
640GB Hard Drive
No PCIe cards
Only mouse and keyboard attached
I finally gave up on trying to get the 2009 Mac Pro to install Lion.
My Solution:
I mounted the same hard disk inside a 2008 Mac Pro (without the latest firmware updates) and ran the Lion install. No problems. Lion was installed.
Pulled the Lion drive and re-installed it in the 2009 Mac Pro.
It works.

You may want to try the MS Office for Mac forums - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac - not sure if you're saying that your OS 'froze' or if it was the Word application.

My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) stopped connecting to wireless internet even though network indicates it is connected - full bars.

My macbook pro (10.7.2) just stopped connecting to the internet. 2 other macs in the house are working fine. All 3 are in the same room as the airport. The macbook network icon indicates it is connected with full bars. We have turned the computer off and on, but no effect. Any ideas?

Have you tried turning Airport off and then on again? My own q about this is somewhere in the answered q's--what worked was either the Airport on-off or something my phone company did while I was fiddling with Airport. Good luck!

How to start a RAID 5 rebuild (Mac Pro Lion)?

Dear community,
does anyone know a solution for the following problem?
Mac Pro (2011) with hardware raid and four drives (2TB) configured as raid 5 raidset (named RS1). Raid controller lost connection to the drive in bay 3 but could reconnect after a couple of minutes. Raidset RS1 then reported as degraded in Raid Utility and drive in bay 3 as "roaming". It was no longer part of the raidset. Turned Mac Pro off, removed and re-inserted drive. After the next start the drive in bay 3 shows in Raid Utility with all green status (no longer roaming). Making the drive a spare drive via Raid Utility disconnects it for ten to twenty seconds, then it shows up again. No rebuild of raidset starting. According to past discussions I found here, the rebuild should start automatically. But what can you do if it does not?
Raidutil output as follows:
raidutil list raidsetinfo

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any idea how to re-initialize the drive? It now seems to be marked as spare(?) and any operations on it are rejected:

The drive is in use and is unable to be set unconfigured.

CS4 Premiere locking up royally on little mts files on Mac Pro Lion 10.7, is CS5.5 any better

Sorry for long title, got the boxes mixed up.
Having trouble working with HDV mts files in CS4 Premiere on a new 12 core MAC Pro with Lion 10.7 OS
Have used Adode CS3 and now CS6 at my office regularly. CS6 can work with about any file type.
Found this ClipWrap program on online and have re-wrapped these mts files into .mov files. They do open and must be each rendered out and do so slowly. Scrubbing the video doesn't do well - locks it up.
Very certain I have plenty of Computer power, is CS4 a dog? It will open CS6 projects that I bring home from work and do basic cutting on with M2T files and MPEG2 HD video.
I also do not see near as many Transition and Effects options for Audio or Video in CS4 as I had back with the old CS3 when I use it - very puzzling.
Would CS5.5 give me more optimal performance with this MAC? Do I need a third party card? We now run full HD on CS6 at work without using the Blackmagic card I have. Should uninstall and re-install the software? I am a video editor, just doesn't seem to perform like it should.
I am considering looking into the Final Cut X after this. Thoughts on this subject welcome.
Thank you.

Anything??

Can I download a program, nitro pro 7 onto mac pro when it says it's for windows? If so do I choose the 32 or 64 bit version?

Can I download a progran (Nitro pro 7) onto my mac pro notebook when it says it's for windows? If so do I choose the 32 or 64 bit version?

First, this forum is for the tower Mac Pro system. The MacBook Pro forum can be found here:
MacBook Pro
Anyway, Windows programs do not natively run on Macs. You may be able to get Nitro to run, though either via Boot Camp or one of the virtualization solutions, such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox, that allow you to run a "guest" OS under Mac OS X. You'll need to confirm whether Nitro will run in such circumstances, and if it will, you'll need a copy of Windows. Whether you choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Nitro will depend on what release of Windows you choose, or can, run. I'd suggest asking for advice in the Nitro forums, if the developer provides customer forums.
Regards.
