Thank you

If it's your only display, you don't need any adapter. The Mac Pro graphics card has a DVI port.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, which has re-booting problems. Also what does the spinning beach-ball indicate?

Hi, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which has re-booting problems.
Processor speed is: 2.8
Memory: 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
2 x 28GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10
My Mac Pro keeps re-booting. Last year I had to replace my graphics card. My original card was the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 255MB, and that is what I have now. At this precise moment my Mac Pro is running perfectly, except that it is slow and the spinning beach-ball keeps appearing. I have managed to do some work with the disk utilities, verifying, cleaning and partitioning. Some errors were found and when it was cleaned this seemed to help my Mac Pro to function properly. Although I am able to use my Mac Pro now, from day to day I still experience re-boot problems. Also quite unexpectedly my mac dictionary has an error, it closed itself down and will not open at all, I had the message to say that a report will be sent to Apple.
I have tried starting my computer with an external hard drive fitted via a USB cable, I use for back-ups. This worked and I was able to wipe my hard drive clear and replace all info from the back up I had done only a few days ago.
This worked for a few days and then the same problem started again.
I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a new hard drive.
If there is anyone who has some answers to help me solve my problem, I would be most grateful.
Robert

How to install Snow Leopard on a 2009 Mac Pro which has Mountain Lion?

The 2009 Mac Pro that I just bought has Mountain Lion. For many reasons, I do not want to have Mountain Lion on my machine. I have been using Snow Leopard for years and I like it fine. I have my Snow Leopard install DVDs. I cannot get this machine to accept Snow Leopard, which must be just another undesirable aspect of Mountain Lion, bacause this machine must have shipped with some variant of Leopard/ Snow Leopard to begin with. Here's what happens when I put the Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Superdrive:
1) First, I held down the "C" key at startup to start from a disc. It showed me a window which said "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer".
2) Then I started it with Mountain Lion and then put in the Snow Leopard DVD. Got a window which said "The disc you inserted was not readable by this computer". It also had 3 buttons to choose from: "Initialize", "Ignore" and "Eject". So I clicked on "Initialize" and Disc Utility opened on the First Aid page. I assume I'm supposed to erase the startup disc, but I thought maybe I should ask the experts here before I do that.
This machine has two 2TB HDDs that the previous owner has configured as a level 1 RAID. If I am to erase the startup disc do I erase both drives of the RAID set? If I'm not supposed to erase the startup drive, what do I need to do to get back to Snow Leopard? Thanks and thanks again!

The built-in checks will keep you from clobbering 10.8 Mountain Lion by Installing Snow Leopard over it (literally, 10.6 Snow Leopard Installer will see a later version in place, and knows it cannot install over a later version). So it says "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer..." and leaves off "... "in its current state."
You will need to Install on a 10.6 Snow Leopard-erased drive. Mac OS X Erase function proceeds to install a Partition scheme and a default Volume after erasing, because a truly blank drive is useless for most Users.
When you boot to the Installer DVD, you are running off the DVD, so all Hard Drives are available to be erased if that is your choice. All data on them will be discarded. If you erase one drive in a mirrored RAID set, normally the other drive would survive and the set would be degraded. But a new version of RAID was introduced right AFTER 10.6, and it is likely that 10.6 cannot read that RAID at all under any circumstances.

I recently bought a 2008 mac pro which came with leopard 10.5. I can't load any new programs because it calls for a password, but it won't accept it. I bought new snow leopard 10.6.3 but I can't load it for the same reason. How can I completely reboot.

Help. I recently bought a 2008 Mac Pro from Mac of all Trades. It came with Leopard 10.5 installed. When I set initially started the computer, I followed the instructions on the screen. I was asked to set up a password which I did. Since I'm very forgetful and not too tech savy, I wrote it down as I typed it in. I first went to install Office Mac 2011 but when it asks for a password, it won't accept the one I set up. I was told that if I bought the new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installed it, that it would reset everything. Well, it won't allow me to load it without the password. I am new to Apple - this is my first. I have always been able to "reboot" a computer with discs but I'm not sure how to do this one. Is there a way to do it without the password and reset everything? Could somone please email me
Thank You. David Moore

If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

Can I use a usb bluetooth adaptor with mac pro which already has bluetooth?

Hi All,
I have an early 2008 Mac Pro. I have a bluetooth sound device that I'd like to use across the other side of the house. The problem is that the in-built bluetooth transceiver is limited in area and i have a usb transceiver that has 15m broadcast range. Is there a way i can make my Mac Pro use the usb dongle and not the internal hardware..?

You can disable the internal bluetooth radio. As long as you have drivers for your USB Bluetooth adapter you should be able to use it.

Mac pro power adapter separating

I bought my mac pro in June and have been having an issue with the portable adapter separating where it plugs in. The _*whole plug falls out of the adapter (prongs and all)*_. It can be put back together and used, but I am afraid of short circuiting my computer. It also does not stay plugged in very well and hasn't, since I purchased it. Does anyone have any suggestions or is anyone experiencing the same problem. What is recommended?

I recommend you get it replaced by Apple. This should be covered by the warranty call them or go by an Apple store for help.

In need of a new Mac Pro, which one?

In the market for a new Mac Pro, mainly for CS5 apps, an ocassional Final Cut project and some Modo rendering (simple work). My Mac is an early 2008 2.8 GHz 8 core with 10 gigs of RAM, rock solid performance and trouble free and I'm looking to buy a new one within the next week. The 4 core 2.8 appeals to me for the lower price, but inclined for the 8 core, is the $1,000 difference between 4 and 8 core woth it? The 4 core has a faster processor, so I would assume that the difference in speed is basically a non-issue for the work I do, am I right? On the other hand, I rather get the 4 core with at least 12 gigs of ram, since most apps don't take advantage of 8 cores.
Need opinions and suggestions and if someone has a link for performance comparisons test between the two, would be appreciated, can't find any.

Not everyone, but more than a few, swear by SSD making their Mac run smooth and faster all around.
You are rather low on RAM for any real strong CS5 use.
Your Mac can boot into 64-bit kernel, too. Read up on that on MPG and along with 24GB pays 15% dividends.
And you can take advantage of 5870 or 5770 as well as Quadro 4000 ($789 PNY Quadro for Mac on Amazon, versus $1195 on Apple Store). 5770 + 4000 is $1050 investment.
You 'should' be using say 3 x 2-3TB enterprise version drives. And 120-240GB SSD $600.
Intel 3.2GHz Harpertown (Penryn) 5400s are probably not cost effective and seems the highest MHz you can go.
I go with coffee can, create an account to go towards the next system. Put X-amount aside each month and only buy on cash or your business pays for itself in six months.
The real hard part comes when a new model comes out, knowing the first 3 months are often rough and best to hold off, wait, read the reviews and reports. And know that buying that while today you could 'down grade' to Snow Leopard, the next time you can't and it takes time to optimize all the drivers and software that a workstation is more likely to need.
If you have $3.5K burning a hole, then the ref'd 2.8 and optimize "the heck" out of it, with W3680 and everything else, and then sell yours later too for $1500 probably.

Your 8-core 2,8 is not yet ready to retire!

I want to install a second disc drive in my mac pro - which ones?

I have always had all-in-ones. I now have a mac pro, and I love it. I have many disc drives of varying sorts lying around my place, most from older windows towers, but one cd-rw drive from a round base imac. Since I could never do these types of expansion on my old macs, I have no clue what will hook up in my empty drive bay.
This drive from the apple is a... sony cd-r/rw drive unit crx170E/. can I put it in my mac pro's second slot?
If so or if not, can someone briefly explain the types of cd-r connections that would/would not work so i understand the concepts?

Oh alright. Here is the same drive someone put up for sale, just in case I was speaking wrong.

Do I need to do anything special? or will in function right as soon as I get it installed?

Can I add a ram of 1333mhz in my mac pro which had a stock of 1066mhz. Will the ram be compatible ???....because ,I was not able to find a 1066 MHz of ram in apple store. And it's for my mac pro which I bought recently a month ago

Can Anyone help me out for a good solution?

DDR3 is backward compatible, no one really buys theirs from Apple, you can do a lot better on price and warranty going elsewhere.

I own a mac pro which i bought from thailand but i live in Maldives , why can't i buy an app for my mac pro from Maldives ?

i own a mac pro but i cant buy any apple software to my mac because they dont accept my credit card

You appear to have boght a Mac and taken it to a country with no iTunes/Mac App Store. So there is nowhere for you to buy. You must buy from the stores for your country and there isn't one that I can find.

Mac Pro - which one?

I am getting a new Mac Pro and I need to run CS5 suite on it... for the money is getting the 8-Core vs the Quad-Core worth it? And how fast is the Quad-Core? I mostly want speed in Photoshop and the iMacs are too slow for me. Also, I want around 3 programs open so I can go from one to the other.

Think of counting processors in these Macs the way a small child counts:
One, two, lots, infinitely many.
You want lots, and most anything beyond that is not very different from lots.

Which Apple computer is best for video - Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop et. I have a 7 year old Mac Pro which will not accept FCP X.

I have an Apple Mac Pro. It is almost 7 years old and will not accept FCP X. I have been waiting for Apple to make a new Mac Pro, but I don't know when that will happen.
Any recommendations?

Do not put new money today into Mac Pro 2008 or previous. (the FBDIMM memory is too expensive).
Some say skip the 2009 model as the 2010 is better (has built-in support for hex processors) but not a lot more money.
Computers will always be better, faster, and cheaper if you wait. [A new Mac Pro may not be solid on day 1.] At some point, you have to get your work done, and just have to hold your nose and choose from what is avaiable and stable at the moment.

Why does my mac pro, which i purchased in 2011 keep dropping internet saying safari cant find server

Mac OS X (10.7.1)
Click your Apple menu / Software Update
The v10.7.2 update may help.
If you have anti virus software installed, disabale that and try turning off the Firewall.

Need to 30" displays on new mac pro - which video card?

Will the stock Nvidea GT120 card support a second 30" display with an adapter? Will the ATI 4870 card?
I have an older ATI 3870 card that will support two 30" monitors, but not sure if that will work with Snow Leopard.

I've read the 3870 doesn't support some new forthcoming OpenCL, nothing else. Why not just try it out. Install a fresh copy of SL on one of your drive/partitions and see.
Would a GT120 work? well, why wouldn't it? Is the GT120 a step up, or down?
Support two 30-inch DVI with this:
The *Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter* lets you connect the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display HD to a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort.

Probably the best idea although do read their Terms Of Use first. Do realize that anybody here who answers your question is in contravention of the YOU as much as you would be for posing the question.
