Mac Pro with 2 LAN ports and 2 PCs.

Dear friends,
I've been trying to set up 2 different networks, actually to connect my Mac Pro with to two PCs. Well, I can't get my Mac to have access to the PC that is plugged into 2nd Ethernet port. However, if I unplug one of the cords, no matter what port it is 1 or 2, it works and see connected PC.
My IP addresses are set manually to 192.168.7.1 and 192.168.7.2. NetBIOS names are also different MACPRO and MACPRO2. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Rest is not changed from defaults. And only 1 Ethernet interface sees the PCs.
Could anyone suggest me something? Cos I really wanna have my Mac to be connected to these PCs.
Thanks in advance.

Guys, anyone?! Really need that thing running....

I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

Mac Pro with Mini Display Port

Hi all, I want to add a second display to my Mac Pro. I use it for music production and having a second screen to tweak plugins, monitor the mixer. etc. would be very helpfil.
IS there any kind soul who's recommend 1) a good display (for looking for a huge one) and advise as to the right connections (mini-DVI to VGA adaptor, or whatever_ and anything else I may need? Thanks.

I used a 30" Dell called the 3008WFP for a while and was pretty happy with it.

One nice thing about it is it can be driven directly from a Mini DisplayPort output without need of an adapter of any kind using a cable like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606&pid=6008&seq=1&format=2
My only complaint about the Dell was that the out-of-box color presets were terrible. But I was able to fiddle with it and bring it more in line with my expectations. Perhaps color isn't too important to you given your application.

Early mac pro with 10.10.2 and L10.1- a few issues

Hi All,
Wondering if new mac pro will remedy the following. Since updating to LX10 and Yosemite on my early '09 MacPro, having these issues:
1.Sluggish in the graphics (automation drawing, redraws, linked score and piano roll graphics, etc).
2. Audio frequently mutes when rig is being synced to mtc. Unitor for sync
3. Chase Notes Setting disables after most scissor edits
4. Screen sets frequently get mangled
My template utilizes several slaves over VEP, plus many software insts in Logic, also large audio mixer. Template was not imported, but built in LX
All was a breeze on this rig with L9/SnowLep.
My main question is, will all of this clear up by upgrading one of the the new MacPros (circular thing)? Are many people using the new ones yet with Logic?
Thanks for any insight.

Hi Nigel and Pancenter,
One other issue I'm having is very slow Undo. (Only 25 steps in prefs). Below is a report showing a LEGACY FILE VAULT ERROR in System Launch Daemons. Not sure how to resolve that or what to look for. Thanks for any advice.

Mac Pro with x1900xt Screen keeps flashing to black???

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else has had the problem, of your screen, going to black then coming back intermittingly. I just got my Mac Pro with an ati x1900xt and I'm connected to a Dell 30in screen. I have it connected to the left port nearest the side of the case. Has anyone else had this problem and got it fixed? I've tried everything, from switching cables, monitors, and I have updated all the software... can anyone help me here?
Thank you.

Mac Pro 3ghz ati1900 4gig ram 500gig HD Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having similar problems with my new Mac Pro 3GHz with ATI X1900 XT.
I have a Dell 2405FPW (24") as my primary monitor, and a Dell 2001FP (20") as my secondary monitor. Both are connected via DVI.
If I plug in the 24" into port 1 and the 20" into port 2, I see correct video on the 24", but a black screen on the 20". If I change resolution from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 on the 20", I get video on the 20". I can then change resolution back to 1600x1200 and retain video on both monitors. However, if I turn the 20" monitor off, when I turn it back on, it is black again, and stays that way unless I do the resolution change again. Note that the monitor detects a signal, different from when there is no signal at all - it is getting a black picture, and that's what it's displaying. This happens with a fresh out of the box install of Mac OS X, as I did a clean install on another partition to troubleshoot it.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. If I swap the connections - 24" to port 2 and 20" to port 1, keeping the 24" with the menu bar, then I get video on both monitors. However, I get black picture on both monitors during the entire boot sequence and do not see video until the login window appears. I can turn the monitors off and on after that point and continue to retain video. So, that's the setup I'm using, even though it is not ideal to not be able to see anything before the login window.
On a possibly related note, if I start X11, the X11 server takes over the entire display, showing a gray checkerboard pattern as the background with no menu bar, no dock, nothing other than an xterm visible and accessible. If I command-Q, it will quit X11 and everything returns. It's like the X11 window manager is taking over and not merging with the Mac OS X desktop.
It seems like the ATI drivers and/or Mac Pro firmware and/or Mac OS X have some bugs to be worked out.

Can I use Mac Pro as a Mainframe to serve 10 PCs?

I need to furnish a Mac lab, and I thought if I can use a Mac Pro with 12 core, to serve 10 PCs.
Anybody can help me in this issue?
Thanks...

Mac OS X Server does not require a lot of compute power, it requires a lot of high-speed I/O. A separate Boot Drive, multiple data drives (mirrored RAID optional), and Gigabit Ethernet connections to the Workstations.
A Mini bears consideration, but its laptop-type drives may not provide adequate speed if you intend to keep all user files on the Server.
Time Machine can be used to back up the Server drives, and therefore all the User files, automatically from the central location of the Server.
One pleasant side effect of all user files on the Server is that any workstation can go out for service without taking any User files with it. And any User can use any workstation, since their files are instantly available once they connect to the Server.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Connecting Mac Pro with GeForce GT120 to monitor and TV at same time

Hi - I just want to know in advance of buying the latest 8 core Mac Pro with a single NVIDIA GeForce GT120 graphics card, will this connect to both my apple cinema display 20'' and my Panasonic Viera LCD TV's 'PC Input' at the same time?
From what I can tell this graphics card has a small output port and a wider one - am I right in thinking the smaller one is a mini-display port which would connect to my TV's 'pc input' and the other is DVI which connects to the Apple cinema display? --- is the 'mini display port' something that connects directly into thr TV or is an adaptor required?
Thanks for reading!

The PC input is most likely VGA. A standard (old, but still common) connection port for most laptops (which is the primary usage). If you had a desktop, you would probably connect through DVI to HDMI.
You need a DVI to VGA adapter. Also check if you need male or female, as you might need an VGA adapter, plus VGA cord.
This adapter usually comes with all Mac Pros:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8754G/A?mco=NDcyMDY3OA
Then you just need to buy a long VGA cord.

Again double check the if you need male/male or male/female, etc.

A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Using Logic 7.2 on a Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7

I am researching purchasing a New Protools/Logic System
Seems the version of Protools to use with the new Mac Pros is 7.2.1, which only recently came out to work with the new "Mac Pros" Digidesign has stated thhat it works with and Mac OS 10.4.7
The latest version of Logic is 7.2 which has been out for a while....hmmm
Is anybody using Logic 7.2 on a New Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7, and does it work?

Logic Pro 7.2.2 is not compatible with DAE/TDM on a Mac Pro INTEL.
You will see only "CoreAudio" as available choice, when trying to engage your audio hardware.
We have to wait for any announcements in this regard, maybe at AES or DigiDays in San Francisco.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
