Mac pro with thinderbolt display

hi,
I have a macpro md772hn/a can any one help me out to connect thunderbolt disply to mac pro unit (mac pro is with mini display port) any solution?? pls help...

Unfortunately, there aren't any adapters. That's because the firmware of the Thunderbolt Display restricts Mini DisplayPort Macs, making them unsupported.
One thing that maybe you didn't know is that, theoretically, a Thunderbolt display works without any problem with a Mini DisplayPort computer. That's because the difference between Mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt is that Thunderbolt can transfer data, apart from video and audio, but Mini DisplayPort transfers video and audio (in some Macs), too. However, as I told you, Apple has restricted the use of the Thunderbolt Display to old Macs by firmware

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

TS4384 Why my Mac Pro with retina display is become hot while on charging

Why my Mac Pro with retina display is become hot while on charging

Yes. Don't cover the Mac with cases or "skins" or use keyboard covers, since they impede proper heat dissipation. Its entire case serves as a heat sink.
If you are concerned contact AppleCare. A Mac should never become so hot you can't hold it.

Mac Pro with 6 displays open 6 instance of keynote one on each screen

I am looking to purchase a Mac Pro with 6 Thunderbolt out to drive 6 displays. My question is this..
Can I use a a command like the following to open a 6 different keynote presentations and place each on a different screen.
n=6 ; for (( p=1; p<n; p++)) ; do open -n /Users/username/Desktop/Presentationname.key then some argument to dictate which display the file opens on.
Thanks

Mavericks brings in a new way of working with displays.
Multiple Displays
Desktop with menu bar and Dock
Each display connected to your Mac has [can have] a desktop with its own menu bar, so there’s nothing to configure. The Dock is available when you move your cursor to the bottom of the screen, letting you easily access menus and apps from anywhere.
Full-screen apps on each display
You can use full-screen apps on each display connected to your Mac. Swipe on the trackpad or mouse to switch between full-screen apps.
Multidisplay Mission Control
OS X Mavericks makes it easy to manage the apps running on each display. Mission Control shows you everything that’s on each display, including windows on the desktop and full-screen apps. If you want to move an app from one display to another, simply drag its thumbnail to the desired display.
It is not clear whether this gives complete ability to launch multiple instances of Keynote, one in each of several displays -- my expectation is that it does NOT. I think you will have to experiment a bit to find the true capabilities.

HT1222 I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina display but the message appeared "An error has occurred" so I can proceed with the update. I dont' see any other messages. Any ideas what could go wrong?

I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina dispaly but "An error has occurred" and I was not able to proceed with the update. The message says "The operation was cancelled. (3072)." I have no other messages. Any ideas why I cannot install this update

Scott's solution fixed the problem. It would have been helpful if the update message in the App Store had reported that. I had first tried B Noir's solution -- and received a helpful warning message that a guest user was still logged in to iTunes. I switched over, logged the guest user out, switched back and the update within the App store worked perfectly.
It seems to me that Apple should invest a little time and effort in making their error/warning messages easier to decipher. I have to come to the forum every time something happens. Why not simply have a dialogue window that opens up to explain the most likely issues?

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.

Mac Pro with old displays

How can I use two old Cinema Displays with my new Mac Pro?

What size? What interface?
If they are the old ones with Apple Display Connector, those do not have a Power supply, and Apple abandoned the idea of powering them off the computer. So you need a device sold on the used market called ADC-To-DVI adapter (that actually has an AC power cord as well). last time I looked they were still selling for around US$100.
It makes the cable look like a snake that just ate, but works great.

Is it possible to load Windows AP on an Apple Mac Pro with Retina Display?

I have read that Windows 7 loads fine but I want and need Windows XP on my mac pro.

You can't direct install XP, only Windows 7 in Apple's BootCamp now, it's because of hardware driver support Appel has to provide to Windows.
However you can run any Windows or Linux version in a virtual machine program in a windows in OS X
There is a performance and Direct X penalty, but it works very well and fast on the latest machines.
If you 3D game, the Windows game has to use OpenGL drivers, so it will perform fast in the virtual machine program.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

Is it good time to buy Mac Pro with display?

Hi There,
I am thinking to buy Mac Pro with display and I wonder if it’s good time to do that. Displays still waiting for update. We have been waiting for Mac Pro update long and as far as I see the update wasn’t what people generally expected.
And disappointing thing about Blue-ray drive as well. I think it was good time to put one in by Apple.
So do you think its good time to buy all that stuff or wait longer and perhaps better Mac Pro with new display will come out soon?
Regards

Um no.. It's more than an "extravagant speed bump," the new Mac Pro is using the new 45nm chip architecture. In addition, the significantly larger cache and faster 800mhz RAM make for drastic performance increase.<</div>
Um...yes..
and with this new faster processor, I'm to do what with???...open an Excel spreadsheet a nanosecond faster, get a few more fps on Doom3? Woop-tee-do! I now have 8 cores but most software uses 1 of them while the other 7 purr in idle.
BluRay/HD video is here... or should I say HAS BEEN here for over a year now.... how am I going to use this new super-dooper processor with editing, creating, and authoring HD video and discs?
A faster processor at this point is meaningless without the tools to use it with.
All they did with the new MacPro is give you a computer that is worth the fixed $2800 price tag.
Reminds me of the tire commercial on tv where they describe this car with exotic and powerful 12 cylinder engine, and plush leather seats, and race proven suspension...... but with no tires.
It all looks great on a spec sheet, but you can't use it to do any real work.
I can film HD video all day long, but I can't use a Mac to put it on disc...... (but I can use a Dell!!)
There is no way anyone can explain this other than political.... I would bet that this has something to do with Steve's affiliation with Disney and other studios in regards to his doomed movie rental snafu. Apple has always been the ground breaker in bringing such technology to the market first (a mouse, a cd drive, multiple displays, a superdrive, etc.), and usually before the consumer even understands they need it. To be this far behind with BluRay, he's got to be holding back for a reason ... and I would love to hear it.
I've been a Mac user for 22 yrs and have only been embarrised to be so twice... once when the fruit flavored iMacs were introduced (eventually proved to be the best selling computer model of all times), and now with the absence of BluRay. I've been hoping Steve will prove me wrong again, but I've been hoping for year now... and am still waiting.
Um... No, the Mac Pros power isn't gonna do much for an excel spreadsheet.. However, I bought mine to use with Logic Studio which does take advantage of all eight-cores and the faster front side bus and RAM, and the performance is remarkable..
Just for kicks I timed how long it took to rip "Finding Nemo" with my old G4 dual 1.25 ghz using Handbrake's Apple TV preset... The G4 took 7 hours and 54 minutes.. My new Mac Pro did the same job in 24 minutes..
If you really want a Blu-Ray drive in your Mac Pro, then just buy one and stick it in the empty optical slot, but be prepared for the price tag... http://www.mcetech.com/blu-ray/
And if you use one of the Pro apps that takes advantage of multiple cores, the new Mac pro is a dream.. If you don't use one of those apps, you probably don't need a Mac Pro. At any rate, you're whole spiel about the Mac pro's power being trivial or useless is nonsense..

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

I can't add printers to my new mac book pro with retina display

I am trying to set up my HP wireless printer to my new mac book pro with retina display. I can't get it to work! I have down loaded the latest driver for my printer, and when I go into the printer area and try and add the printer, nothing shows up and it won't let me even add it. I can't seem to connect my mac directly to my printer either as I must need a different cord as there does not seem to be a port for the "phone like jack" that I could fall back on with my old Mac. My printer prints great so I hate to just buy a new printer, but I can't get this to work. My wireless router is located in the basement, far away from where I keep my printer so it also makes it hard to rest everything. I even bought the blue tooth adaptor for the HP printer thinking that would solve it all, and nope! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless. I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient. I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address. So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless. I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else. It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack). I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!

If or when upgraded to the max, the Retina is a good value.
But talk to other users on the notebook forum.
