Multiple TVs from Mac Pro

I am a video artist and am currently working on a project with multiple displays. I am hoping to use my Mac Pro as the video player to run 6 simultaneous displays.
I have a Dual-Core 2.66GHz MacPro (1st Gen) with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300.
I am thinking about purchasing 2 more 7300s so that I can run the 6 displays needed for the project. Since the quality of the video is SD, my original idea was to use older CRT televisions for displays, and use apples DVI to Video adapter for the TVs. However, the adapter is not compatible with this graphics card.
My new plan is to purchase the 7300s and use DVI to HDMI cables to hook them up to small HDTVs.

Does this plan make sense? Are there other options for multiple displays I'm not considering?
Thanks for the help

you could add a four port PCIe USB card and then add 4 of these;

First , If you installed from apple app store it will be really easily just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No don't delete me I am helpful !) Ok yes that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .

You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash. do it again . take this one into the trash as well then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash After that all job done , it is been deleted ,

How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
To repartition:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Strange sounds from Mac Pro

Strange clicks going from Mac Pro soon after power up.
It may going from memory cage when temperature of memory is rising.
Any ideas?

Or the graphic card if it has a fan. Or the fans if one is loose.
You should at least for awhile monitor the temperatures with one of the free/shareware utilities. If you push the system, you might even want to boost the fans from their default.
Try running Apple Hardware Test after you check for dust, loose cards. Could it be the PSU?

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

Can you pinpoint what 'diagnostic and usage data' you are referring to? More details would be helpful including the model MBP you are using and the OSX.

Can you transfer your ICal from Mac Pro to your IPhone

I am just curious if you can transfer your ICal from a Mac Pro Book to you IPhone before I get my IPhone.

iCal is supported on a Mac when you sync contact info to your phone.
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
Contacts
Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

Extend wifi range from Mac Pro with Airport Extreme

I am trying to extend an office wifi, called "NetworkA" to my desk area. The signal comes from a Mac Pro (which is hard wired to our network) that has internet sharing enabled. I have an "AirPort Extreme Base Station A1354" and a "AirPort Time Capsule" at my disposal that I can use to use to extend the wifi. I did a hard reset of both devices.
When I connect the Extreme directly to the Mac Pro, "AirPort Utility" lists the device, but when I choose it and it starts to set up, I get the error "An unexpected error occurred. Try again.".
When I connect the Time Capsule directly to the Mac Pro, "Airport Utility" lists the device, but when I choose it and it starts to set up, the computer automatically switches to "NetworkB" (we have multiple wifis).
How can I extend "NetworkA"?? Thanks.

You need to configure the AEBS or Time Capsule to extend an existing network from the main wireless router. Then run an Ethernet cable from an AEBS LAN port to the Ethernet port on the computer.
You cannot do that if the main router is not apple.. I suspect it isn't.

This is really messy..
Plug the airport directly into the same network the Mac Pro is in and use double NAT (that is all the Mac Pro is doing).
Then extend it with the other airport.. you can extend as long as you use two apple routers.

No Sound from Mac Pro, however, volume icon moves up and down

Hello, I was using my 12 month old Mac Pro last night and it worked fine with sound as normal. When I powered it up today there is no sound coming from my monitor, but the volume icon moves up and down when I press the keys? I've checked in the Preference sound file and everything is set ok? I googled this problem and some people have suggested that there should not be a 'red' light showing in the digital connection on the back? However, I can see a red light, I've tried using my headphones in the front mini-jack and nothing? I disconnected the monitor audio cables restarted the Mac, there was then sound as normal if I used the sound keys. I re-connected the audio cable and it continued to play sound for 5 minutes or so, then stopped working again?

I have a problem with my Powerbook automatically muting. If you read the posts, there seem to be a lot of people having this problem and no one can explain or help.

Upgrading from Mac Pro (2007) to Mac Pro (2009)

I'm attempting to get a few simple questions answered before upgrading my current Mac Pro (2 x 2.66 Dual Core Intel) to a Mac Pro (8-Core 2.26Ghz). I visited the local Apple store to see if I could get my questions answered and left having concerns since the Apple reps could not provide me with solid answers.
The gist of my question is can I pull my existing drives from my old Mac Pro and put them into the new Mac Pro without having to re-build the complete system. The answers that got were:
- Sure no issues, everything will be fine
- No you have to rebuild
- and it will work but you will lose performance because of missing drivers
So I'm hoping that someone under this forum would be able to provide me with a definitive answer...
Here is my current Mac Pro configuration:
- Snow Leopard 10.6.1
- 4 x 1.5TB Internal Disks
- Drive 1 OS
- Drive 2 Data
- Drive 3 & 4 Raid 0
- 2 x Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT graphics cards
So with the configuration above. If I purchase a new Mac Pro 8-Core system will I be able to just pull the 4 x 1.5TB drives from the old and put them into the new and have the system come up and work fine? Or do I have to rebuild?
Last question, will the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT card work in the new Mac Pro?
Thanks in advance!!!

As I said, just boot away. Obviously graphic cards have to stay behind (wouldn't really want those).
you don't even have to worry about what slot the drives go in (but never, ever be w/o backups, doubly so for RAID).
I will say this, personally I initialize and rebuild drives and arrays rather frequently, with a new OS, and sometimes knowing or discovering that there are changes to Disk Utility and arrays. And never be w/o Disk Warrior.
So in one sense, it might be a good opportunity if you have gone six months or didn't recreate your array with the arrival of 10.6 (though 10.5.0 was so iffy with disks it was best to sit it out for another six months, gotta watch those "dot zero" early releases).
One wish, that Apple would offer the GTX 285 as BTO for $250 at most, show they stand behind it in some way or 'endorse' it? They seem to EOL their graphic cards regularly, like every year.
Choosing RAM and cpu configuration is often hardest part.

Can I format an IDE Hard Drive from Mac Pro?

I use a mid - 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks OS X 10.9.2.
1. Can an IDE hard drive (using an external drive) be formatted to 10.9.2, from my Mac Pro using Mavericks? (the IDE hard drive is new/unformatted).
2. Once formatted to 10.9.2, can I reformat the IDE hard drive to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8, from my Mac Pro using Mavericks?
3. If so, would should I do to accomplish Question # 2 above?

The version of the OS that is running is not relevant to formatting the drive. When you format a drive in any OS, you should select "Mac OS extended journaled." (That is, unless you plan to share the drive with a Windows computer.) Formatted this way, the drive can be used with any version of Mac OS.
You do not have to reformat the drive each time you connect it with a different OS.
