New MacPro crashes from Thunderbolt
I have a new Mac Pro - 6 core / 32 Gb / 512 Gb / OSX 10.9.1 / Dell monitor - and twice today it has crashed when connecting a Thunderbolt peripheral - first a Blackmagic Ultrastudio and then an external SSD. It freezes, and on reboot hangs at the Apple logo and spinning icon. Nothing else has worked so far short of a clean install. Anyone else has experienced this? Is this a design flaw or just bad luck? Thanks

Migration from old MacPro to new MacPro?
How will the migration of my data be handled with the new MacPro?
My old MacPro has sATA hard disks and Firewire 800. The new one will have no internal sATA, no Firewire but just Thunderbolt and USB 3.
In previous days I could transfer all my data through the migration assistant and Firewire. In addition I always physically moved 2 of the 3 hard disks to the new Mac. All of these strategies will not work anymore. Even worse, there are no external enclosures availble for sATA disks with Thunderbolt connectors.
So - is there any reasonable way to migrate more than 2 TB of data from my old to a new MacPro????Sonnet TB

Sonnet 4-port 6G SATA controller
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technologies/TSATA6PROE4/
They mention the above controller with either external or inside a TB case.
A 'full size' 3 x PCIe cards (or one double-wide and 1 x single width) or a case w/ one SATA 6G card and room for disk drives.
PCIe SSD cards will do well.
The cost of TB/TB2 cases does represent $300 and up cost. For those already using external drive cases of 4-12 drives it should be easy. -
At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?
Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
As for the install failing,
I never do the older "archive and install"
I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
of course all the data is lost.
Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
Just some ideas to throw out there....
Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please. -
My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -
What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?
Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Is it possible to remove hard drive from G5 and install it on new MacPro?
My G5 will not power up and I have files that are not backed up. Can I install the hard drive from the G5 into an empty bay onto my new MacPro and copy them over on the MacPro? Is this something that can be done or do I need to just take the G5 into the Apple repair store and have the files copied on a DVD?
Thank you.Your new Mac Pro uses GUID, which will required for insalling OS X, good idea to reformat the drive again afterwards.
I'd put it in a FW case, use that (reformatted) as external system backup and emergencies.

Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?
That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.
It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

I recently updated my new iphone 4 from ios6 to the current ios7. It has been in use for a few days now and all of a sudden the screen crashed to a white display with lines. I have reset it a couple times but there has been no improvement in reducing the screen flicker. Please help
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
From Here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Note on Recovery Mode.
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps... -
I have a new MacPro notebook, I started to migrate things from older Mac and want to stop mid stream, how do I do this?
The only way to do that is by turning off your computer. However, this may create some problems in Mac OS X, so I recommend you to finish this migration. After migrating, if you don't want the migrated files, create a new user in System Preferences > Users & Groups, and delete the old user

Roll back from OS X Mavericks ( or any newer OS) to Mountain Lion on new MacPro
I need to know if it is possible to back rev or roll back on the new MacPro or iMac?
Working with video production applications (Avid) would like to get new hardware platform and that would require Montain Lion for the short term with the intention of moving back to Mavericks assuming that is also possible with the same licesense?
Final question does anybody know if there are issues with Thunderbolt through this roll back process?If a Mac ships with a new OS shortly after its release, it is sometimes possible for it to boot with the previous OS; however, if the Mac has new hardware, it likely has a special build of the new OS to take advantage of the new hardware and it will not boot with the older OS.
Sorry I cannot provide specifics. You'll have to find someone who has done it (or tried). -
We are a small eiting studio with an early 2008 MacPro (maxed out on ram) with a 4 Port SATA card, 2 27" 2013 iMac's, and we will be purchasing a new MACPRO once they're released. We work with Final Cut X primarily and would like to create a server solution to share media assets between the computers as well as insure our media assets are protected. Ultimately we see us moving toward an LTO tape backup solution for projects and we currently use the Acera 8 slot 32tb Raid for media storage. We use .DMG's to organize projects and we've had success networking the MacPro to one of the 27" iMac's and we can effectively mount projects off of the RAID on to both computers as long as the .DMG for that project isn't mounted on both computers. However we can really only run background processing (like rendering or inputing video) we can't really edit as it appears even with a CAT6 capabled connecting the two still isn't enough to be able to edit.
Ideally when the new macpro comes out we would like to explore the ability of turning the 2008 MacPro into our server and buy an attached storage solution but I'm unsure if this will work, what we would need to do to make it work efficiently (read fast), and what my limitations might be. Is it as easy as installing a new PCI 4port 1gigE card in the back and connecting our 2 27" Imacs and the to be purchased new MACPRO to that and insalling OS X Server?
Most of our projects are recurring and ongoing and require us to share our extensive library of live performances as well as insure its availibilty all the time without having to install the RAID set associated with those projects. We have about 80tb's of video we'd like to keep accessible.
Any help is appreciated and I would be glad to fill in any blanks if I left any.
Lastly, I might add that I'm not a fan of onebox solutions from the vendors, I believe that Apple has the products I need to do what I'm talking about and most 3rd party one-box solutions end up out-moded with in years of purchase.
Thanks,

Elysian Post & Production, LLCGigabit Ethernet can be limiting for large file transfers, which usually segues into either 10 GbE NICs and/or (less desirably) link aggregation and/or an Xsan configuration with Fibre Channel SAN storage, if you really needed the I/O speed and scale.
If you're serving large volumes of data and it's the the server-to-host Gigabit Ethernet link that is the limit (as differentiated from the RAID array or related I/O link as the bottleneck), then you're left to either or both 10 GbE NICs and FC HBAs, whether via Thunderbolt HBA adapter or via FC HBA in a PCIe slot. (Thunderbolt is not an option on any current Mac Pro or Mac Pro Server I'm aware of. That'd be PCIe. Conversely, recent iMac systems have Thunderbolt and no PCIe. And there's no Thunderbolt to 10 GbE NIC listed by Apple.)
Discussions of the new Mac Pro are premature, beyond the information Apple has posted. (But I'd probably also wait a month or three after release of any new hardware and software, in any event.)
