Possible to use iPhone headset mic on 2006 Intel Mac Pro?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the iPhone headset working on a 2006 Intel Mac Pro? Or, are there any adapters that would allow the headset to work? I'd like to use Skype on this machine, but I don't want to have to have a clunky full-on headset for it.
Thanks,
Kristin.

  • Is it possible to use an R9 270x GPU in a Mac Pro 1,1?

    I'm trying to install a XFX R9 270x in a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006 Model #A1186).... The machine doesn't currently have any OS installed, but I'm trying to boot and install off of a live USB of Snow Leopard (10.6)... After some research, it seems like this card is definitely supported out-of-the-box with later models of Mac Pro and later Operating Systems, but I haven't been able to find anything about trying to run it with anything as early as 10.6 on a 1,1. (I know it's supported natively in 10.9).
    Currently the machine powers on fine, but no screen image. Diagnostic LEDs on the logic board all appear normal except the "GPU present" LED does not light. I've already tried troubleshooting by installing the GPU in a different PCI-E slot and switched out the GPU for another, identical one...
    Does anyone know if it is at all possible to get this card working with this board? I'd be extremely grateful for any possible solution... (Even if it requires booting from a different GPU and installing drivers, updated OS, etc)....

    I don't now about that card, but I got a Mac Pro with a Radeon HD 7950 in it, Disc was included with Mac drivers for 10.7/10.8/10.9, said not supported in 10.6, well 10.7/8/9/10 didn't need the drivers.
    Tried booting off my Retail 10.6.3 Install Disc... same as you blank screen, & disappointing because 10.6 is better than the 4 later ones put together!
    Anyway, cloned a 10.6.8 install to an external drive... sure enough it booted with great video in 10.6.8, so maybe 10.6.8 for you?

  • Using G5 system disk in an Intel Mac Pro

    I have just bought a 2.66 ghz Mac Pro. All my work, applications, plug-ins etc. are currently on a 500GB disk in my G5. Is there any way of actually using the physical disk in the G5 in the Mac Pro or do I have to copy it all over using Migration Assistant (which in the past has not been 100% accurate and will have to run over night).
    Can I remove the disk, install it into the Mac Pro and upgrade the OS after starting up with the CD? Or is this wishful thinking?
    Thanks

    Malcolm,
    I have to issue a caveat about that. Many have failed to do as you propose. That's why Kappy and I wrote this user tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=10
    It is true not all have failed, but when the failure is bad, you can get internet connection settings go bad, kernel panics, and corrupt files causing more frequent unexpected quits. The scenarios where they work and why they work when others do not have not yet been made clear.

  • Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Hi Kyley,
    Syncing fonts from CC is a feature of Typekit. However, fonts that you've installed manually on your system will be available in all your apps. You won't need to sync them.
    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Cheers,

  • Can I use a Asus Nvidia gt640 with a mac pro 2006?

    Just got my first intel mac! Not the newest thing but it will do. I just have a quick question, can I use the Nvidia gt640 2gb with a Mac pro 2006 with no flashing of the system or the card. Thank's. -Edward

    First, you need to look at what OS version you have.  Mnay people (myself included) running some of the newer OS version are using Nvidia cards not released for the Mac.  OS X Mavericks for example will support these cards, but you lose some functionaility (boot screen, etc.)  Once the machine is up and running they work fine.
    With a 2006 model you are before the 3.1 machines and therefore limited in the OSX version you can run.  I think you need at least 10.7 Lion.
    So if you can run 10.7 the answer is probably, but then you will lose some basic functionality.  For many this is not important.

  • I have bought a new Iphone 4S and also own a Mac pro, also IPad.        I did not install find my phone on the IPad, my IPad has either been misplaced (have tore the house up looking for it) or it has been stolen is there any way I can find where it is at

    I resently purchased the New IPhone 4S, and I have a mac Pro, plus a IPad.  I have misplaced my IPad or it has been stolen is there any way by using Find My phone it can be located Thanks Look for My IPad

    Unless you set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If you did set up MobileMe on it then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    I am using FCP 7.0.3 on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    .. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update"  It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

  • I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and am porting over Items from a Backup HDD. How can I access and use drawings and documents created on the PC computer on the Intel computer ?

    I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and selectively porting over items from a backup hard drive.
    How can I access and use documents and drawings created on the PC based computer ?

    Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier.  See this tip if you must go newer.  Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server.  I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
    iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
    iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X.  Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature.  Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
    Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
    GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that.  Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
    DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X.  This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked.    Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside.  To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
    Otherwise see the resources on:

    If you end up deciding to stick with Snow Leopard.

  • Is it possible to install os x 10.7 on a mac pro 1,1?

    Is it possible to install os x 10.7 on a mac pro 1,1? If so, where can i get 10.7?

    Your computer is compatible with Lion but not with Mountain Lion.
    First, make a backup of your files. Then, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Before upgrading to Lion, check if your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

    I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
    (BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

    Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
    Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
    For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
    Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

  • Usb midi driver for older Edirol sk-500 keyboard for use in Intel Mac Pro

    I have just moved to an Intel Mac Pro from my old G4 Power Mac. I was using a Edirol (Roland ED) SK-500 usb midi controller in both Garageband and Logic. The old driver doesn't want to work in the new Intel machine. Checked Edirol's site and didn't find anything newer to use and nothing that addressed the Intel situation explicitly.
    Does anyone have a newer compatible driver or some other solution for this issue?
    Thanks,
    Gord

    SK-500 is a discontinued product and I do not think Edirol will ever release a Universal Binary driver. I'd suggest you sell it, and buy their PCR-M50/80 keyboard (these are awesome) or if you also want sounds, get the Roland Juno-G synth (128 voices polyphony, 1000+ sounds, full-blown synth and 5 effects processors). All these work as USB MIDI controllers with Universal Binary drivers.

  • Is it possible to use my snow leopard software for my macbook pro on an iMac or more iMacs?

    Here is the reason why i'm asking this question that sounds silly to me in a way...... i got the 2011 15.4inches macbook pro 2 weeks ago ..... it came with the last snow leopard os x but since the lion was out and i was eligible for an upgrade i got it striaght away for free in the apple store and did not use the snow leopard.... now here is the situation.... i was talking to a friend last night and he told me to give him the CD for the OS x snow leopard that he wanted to upgrade his imac to that....but i told him that i did not think that would work because in most cases i know even in windows os these kind of CDs are protected and are made for that pc it is installed on but he kept on insisting it would work and telling me how experienced he is in using a mac for 7 years and what ever cd protection happened to only pc and not mac(the funny thing is that he said he has experience but has never tried it before) so to cut the long story short i told him that i would get back to him....... so here i am again today asking a question that might even prove my thoughts right.....
    valuable community.....PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY MACBOOK PRO OPERATING SYSTEM CD ON A FRIENDS IMAC?  because i dont believe it is possible because if it was, no one will ever upgrade to any os in a mac... they will just look for oppotunities to get it from a friend or family who has one.... hope im not the only one thinking that this question is a silly one lol....... please i really need your answers to show this experienced mac user of 7 years since he told me that i can install my os on more macs.... how possible it that...i dont know...
    Thanks in Advance for your replies

    Hi Chris,
    I'm guessing it's the "old" gray disc, which is usually hardware specific to your exact model. I'd keep it if I were you, you may want to install it.

  • Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

    I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
    I have a new USB3  WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
    It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
    That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
    I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
    Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

    no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
    you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
    the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
    upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
    you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.
    a simple 10 minute job.
