Hi - my 2011 Mac Pro no longer recognizes devices in the usb ports, I've been told it's the logic board. is there a way I can connect the iomega external hard drive to it through the firewire or thunderbolt ports?

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Mac pro won't read windows 7 install disc?

My 2007 mac pro won't read windows 7 install disc. My macbook reads the disc fine, so it is not a problem with the disc. It is 32-bit. The apple help line suggested firewire connecting the macbook to the macpro and starting the macbook in target disc mode, but other posts I have read have said that this will not solve the issue. Any suggestions?

Could be. I just rebooted and it read the disc. Unfortunately the windows install got interrupted and I had to reboot, and now it wont read the disc again. Is there any other way to install windows 7 to bootcamp, other than from the disc? Can I use FireWire and target disc my MacBook (the MacBook reads the disc just fine)?

Mac Pro no longer recognizes Optical drives

I was working on my mac Pro and it suddenly restarted itself. After that happened neither Superdrive would be recocnized by the OS. Oddly it took a very long time to boot, approximately 2 minutes. I have a Apple OEM DVR-111PB and a Pioneer DVR-112D. I disconnected the drives and it booted normally fairly quick. So I tested the two on another mac and the DVR-111PB will not recognize anything put in it. The other one works fine.
So I just installed the DVR-112 only, in the Mac Pro and it took a while to boot up and it still would not recocgnize it.
I have zapped the pram, reset the SMC and attempted to reinstall the upgrade to 10.4.11 to no avail.
Any thoughts on why the OS is not communicating with the drives? I do get the -70012 "A valid DVD drive could not be found." error message when I tried to run the Apple DVD player.
I have an external firewire DVD and I'm thinking I may have to reinstall the OS from it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

After getting into this a little further it is looking like it may be a power supply issue. I ran the extended diagnostic utility on an external firewire drive and everything passed. I measured voltage at the power connector for the optical drives and on the 12V side it is only getting 9.7VDC and the 5V side it is at 4.9VDC. As I mentioned in the OP the drives spin up and such attached to another computer. I'm wondering if the powersupply is going bad and the 9.7V isn't enough to run the drive. I hooked the DVD drives up to an external power supply while the data cable was connected to the mac and viola, the drive is recognized, actually both DVDs are recognized when hooked up in this manner. So essentially the DVD drives are OK as well as the ATA bus.
Now to the power issue. The power supply on the 12V side of the connector seem to vary all over the place, anywhere from 6 to 11.55 volts on the 12V side of the connector. The 5V side is a constant 4.9VDC.
I'll see what I can find for power supply diagnostics. I'm wondering if the 12V comes straight from the power supply or does it go through some voltage regulator on the main board to reduce the voltage to 12VDC. There are 4 connectors on the power supply marked PS1 through PS4. I need to find out what is what. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mac Pro no longer connects to network via ethernet.

Since coing back from Thanksgiving break and my Mac Pro 1,1 will no longer connect to my router through via ethernet. This means I can neither connect to internet nor connect to devices like my laptop and Apple TV. Strangely, I can still connect to my Mac Pro from these devices to share screen, play audio/video through iTunes, etc. In Network Settings, I still have a green dot, and I still get an IP address assigned (though I usually use a fixed IP). If I go into my router (Netgear WNDR4000), the router tells me that the Mac Pro 1,1 is connected to the network.
I already have tried the following solutions:
· Restarting router, modem, and computer
· Making a new location in Network Settings
· Trying different ethernet ports
Please Help!

Your local LAN runs through your router.
All your ethernet ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet ports.
You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger signals thruout the house.

Mac Pro no longer supporting my 2 displays?

I have a 4 year old Mac Pro with the Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors and 6GB of ram. I seems to have 4 NVIDIA GeForce GT display cards as well. I have been using this system with two 22" Apple cinema displays for 4 years with no problem what-so-ever. the last two times I've rebooted the system, one of my displays doesn't come up - it stays black. The first time I tried changing cables and connections and nothing seemed to work (the one monitor that had been black, stayed black no matter what configuration I tried). I then put all the cables back where they had been originally and it then came back on. I rebooted a few days later and the same thing happened - black screen. No matter what I try it won't start up. Occasionally the little light on the front will come on after I've shut the computer down but then it goes out when I boot up. Can anyone guide me as to what might be the cause. Could the color card(s) be going bad or is it more likely the display itself?

Contact the vendor.

Mac pro no longer connects to web via internet sharing

My Mac Pro does not have an airport card so I have often used a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet. A few months ago this method began failing but I was able to share a connection via firewire. Now I am not able to do either.
I have attempted to use both the mbp and the pbg4 to no avail using both ethernet and firewire for days, employing various troubleshooting methods including zapping PRAM, repairing permissions, and dumping network cache. I've tried static IP addresses and manual setups. The mac pro shows that it is connected to a network and displays all the proper IP information but is unable to load a web page and the diagnostics window shows an ISP, server, and internet failure regardless of any changes I make to network settings on it or the mbp/pbg4. Meanwhile, the laptops are connected to the internet just fine and are able to share a connection with each other.
What can I do to make my tower susceptible to internet sharing once again?

Mac Pro no longer sending signal to Monitor

The Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 Quad Core I purchased a few months back has developed a rather serious fault over night. The mac powers up as normal but doesn't send a signal to the monitor. I've tested the monitor on my PC and it's fine (I've also plugged the PC monitor into the MAC, just to be sure, and there's no signal).
I opened the Mac and looked at the Graphics Card which has power and doesnt show any signs of any burnt resistors or fuses etc. and I called Apple and they say they have to send someone to collect it and take it away to be fixed. Thing is, that could take a week and I'm a freelance designer and can't survive without my Mac! Has anyone else experienced this or has any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks.

I am now on my third HD2600XT. The first one was replaced because of a ghosting issue after doing Leopard Graphics Update a while back. Even the Apple engineers couldn't come up with a solution. There is no ghosting when booted into 10.53 without that update. Another forum member gave me a solution: Simply turn my screen off and then on. Ghosting gone.
The second card just died a few days ago, well it didn't really die but my screen was filled with flickering green pixels. I spoke with Apple Care and the young guy thought it might be the mother board... I had run different hardware tests always with positive results so I simply asked him to send me out a new graphic card for advance replacement. I have never had a problem with Apple in this regard. They had the new card to me in three days, I popped it in and now everything is perfect.
Next time just tell Apple you want to diagnose the problem with an advance replacement part. It is normal process. If it doesn't work, you can just send it back. Much better than lugging a Mac Pro through the snow.

$10,000 Mac Pro won't read $1,500 Apple Final Cut Pro DVDs. Awesome.

Have tried rebooting, updating, etc. No luck. DVD Drive just rejects the disk(s).
What does $11,500 get you from Apple? A boat anchor. Piece of crap won't read brand new Apple FCP disks, so the 60gb, 8 hour install either won't start at all, or fails about 80% of the way through. Just great.
Thing is, I also own some Macbook Pros, and the new one does the same thing.

Mac Pro unable to read Digital Copy DVD's

I have a Mac Pro and have been trying to redeem some digital Copies that are included in DVD's. When I put the digital Copy disc into my drive, it spits it back out after about 30 secs. I've never had this prob before and it's only with these kinds of discs. Everything else works fine. I've also tried reading Digital Copy discs that I've already used without a problem and it won't read those now either. I've reset PRAM and all that. Does anyone have any ideas?

Mac Pro doesn't read DVDs, show them as blank DVDs.

I am running an older Mac Pro with OSX 10.6.8 software. I have been trying to play DVDs through my internal disk drives but everytime I insert them my mac shows them as blank dvds in the finder, even though they play on other machines. I do have an external disk drive set up as well that does read the disks just fine.
I have read through many different forms from different sites and have found similar issues but no solutions. I have tried updating, blowing out the drive with a can of compressed air, yet nothing makes a difference. At first I had thought that maybe the drive had gone bad, however this is happening to both internal drives at the same time and therefore makes me belive that it is a software issue.
As I said, my mac recognizes both drives (SONY DVD RW DW-D150A) but shows the disk as a blank disk with no data on it. I use my disk drives daily and have not done anything new that would have changed the software process.
Please comment if you have any solution. I have yet to find anything that remotely answers my questions. Thank you.

My disc drive on Mac Pro will not read installation dvds

I have been trying to install some software on my Mac Pro - OS 10.8. It will not read the installation DVD. It acts like it is blank. I thought this was a faulty dics drive so I purchased a new one from OWC and installed it and it is doing the same thing!
Please help I payed a lot for this software and cant use it.

Since you're on your second optical drive, does the new one (and, for that matter the old one) read any optical disk? If it does, then there might still be something wrong with the disk from that manufacturer. If no disk is readable, I'd doublecheck the cabling to the drive. I'd also call OWC tech support. I've dealt with them for many years and they've always been very helpful with any problems.
As far as the software goes, you bought a license as well as an installer disk. Does the manufacturer have a website from which you could download a trial version of the software that could be converted to a full, operating version with the license key that should have come in the box with the disk?

My Mac Pro won't read any dvd-r discs

It reads regular dvd movies, and dvd +r fine. any suggestions? I'm running os 10.6.8 on a Quad care 2.8 gig machine. Thanks.

I had same issue with the Sony DW-D150A drive in my Mac Pro. Burned DVD with iDVD, then it would not read it. Based on looking at other threads on this, I tried the "Laser Lens Cleaner" from Target ($5.69).
Now it reads the DVD's burned with iDVD. However, it still has some issues with DVD +RW recorded by my DVD Recorder (Magnavox). My PC's and old G5 can read those fine, but they are not in the best shape (scratches).
I would definitely start with the Lens Cleaner.

Mac Pro no longer mounts external usb devices

Hi there,
Last week my mac pro stopped mounting my ipod shuffle as a disk (i was using it like a usb memory stick), i thought it was a problem with the shuffle and left it aside. But just yesterday the mac stopped mounting my external lacie 500gb disk. I had never had any problems before this.
I then tried both the shuffle and external hd on my powerbook g4. They work perfectly!
I then thought it might have been a problem with the usb ports on the mac pro - although all my other usb devices were still working - so i booted into xp with bootcamp, and the devices were recognised in xp perfectly.
After searching various threads on different forums the general idea for this problem seemed to be to reinstall osx, which i have just done, and no joy. Im still not able to mount either of these devices.
System profiler sees the devices, but thats it.
Also, i recently bought a new usb memory stick (as i thought the shuffle was dead), this mounts and works perfectly!
Anyone got any ideas?!
Thanks

Yes, i did the combo update immediatly after reinstalling osx and before pluggin in the usb device.
The problem developed just before the release of 10.4.9, so i dont think it was the update that did it.
I've only just got this MP back from Apple. The PSU had to be replaced. It took them nearly 3 weeks to do
