Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB 5900RPM 128MB Cache SATA3 - for Backup Data Only. Are there any compatibility issues with an older 3,1 Apple Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8GHz (4-Core x 2) ?

Finally mass storage drives are being released. The Seagate ST8000AS0002 8.0 TB 5900RPM has just been released in Australia and I was advised to check on any compatibility issues, being that my 3,1 Mac Pro is an old, but working fine machine.
I have read there are possible issues with using HDs greater than 2TB with the MP 3,1 . But checking with OWC, they say the Seagate 4.0 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive is compatible for use with the MP 3,1.
So can the hardware and operating system handle an 8.0 TB of this sort ?

The problem is with formatting the large disk. The Mac can see and use them if formatted for a Mac
Format large disks
That bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been fixed.
using a Disk Utility from any older Mac OS X, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any saved Installer DVD or thumb drive will work.
Another work-around is to move that drive to an external enclosure and Erase it there (provided your enclosure is modern enough to deal with drives over 2.2TB.

Are there any known issues when using PSE 13 after installing Apple's recent 10.10.3 Combo update for Yosemite?

I've had Yosemite for some time and bought/installed PSE 13 afterwards.
In the last few days I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3.
As a PSE 13 novice I've been working my way through "Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 - Classroom in a Book". Working through the exercises I've found my iMac is sometimes taking longer to process the functions I'm using than prior ro the 10.10.3 upgrade. E.g., using the Healing Brush tools, Straighten Tool etc.
I've struggled with Apple's upgrade and had to re-install my machine from a previous Time Machine Backup and so I was wondering:-
Are there any known issues with PSE 13 post 10.10.3 upgrade?
Are there things I should be concerned about in the future before accepting an OS X upgrade?
Thanks,
Andy

No, no known issues. However it's a good idea to always delete preferences after OS X system updates.

HT202157 When I try to update my Apple TV software, I get an error message "update was unsuccessful try again later". I've tried downloading the update for two weeks. Are there any recommendations?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and i have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad with kindle app?

You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

I have a friend from Montreal Canada who is in U.S.A. for 2 months. Her old iPad has to be replaced. Is there any compatibility problems with the iPad made for U.S.A. and those one made for Canada?

I have a friend from Montreal, Canada who is in U.S.A. for 3 months. Her old iPad is not working very well and she thinks about buying a new iPad. Is there any compatibility problem between iPad sold in the States and those one sold in Canada?

Is the prores file that FCPx creates when importing c300 .mxf files stable/quality enough to then copy to other drives for further use? Are there any quality disadvantages to doing that?

Im wondering if I can directly copy the prores files fcpx creates when importing c300 .mxf files from the "original media" folder, reimport them for another project to and use them that way. Is there any problem with working that way? I'm doing this bc I want to have an organize finder structure for a client but cant break the c300 card structure to split clips on a card into different "scenes" to make it easier for them to understand what they're looking at. This is all to stay NLE nuetral--we like fcpx but they might want to edit somewhere else and more details in the finder level seems like the best solution? Suggestions on any of that? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Are you sure that FCPx is working with .mxf/c300 natively? I thought it was just a background sort of repackaging or transcode into prores that it does without you having a choice? And bc of that, for me, it's sort of a "back end" feeling file: I'm curious if it's bad to get into the package contents folder to copy it over? Not about copying prores in general-- specifically, is the prores created of c300 footage in fcpx more of a fcpx, high quality alias file? Maybe I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable grabbing things from the inside/finder level of fcpx.

Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

Hi,
I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable. It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again. I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router. Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes. Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it. Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze. I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Welcome to Apple....
Kumusta Ka? Ma init pa dyan?
If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.
see image below - let me know if na ayos mo na ang internet mo.

Any compatibility issues with IE8 for STVN 2.1 Orgchart?

Hi Michael,
IE8 Compatibility Mode is fine for use with STVN2.1 applications. As Stephen said, IE7 and IE8 are certified for SVSN3.0 but IE6 support has been discontinued.

I know you have included other "Animation" channels, but it would be great to have the Smithsonian on Apple TV for Mexico.

Help!!! Is there any compatibility issues between Seagate 7200.7 & K8N Neo

Hey Guys, need help here, I posted a boot & restart problem a few weeks ago (posted here PC Freezes, Monitor Blank, Power LED ON & Fans Spinning), ever since I bought this seagate 7200.7 80GB sata drive i've been getting weird troubles, anyway i thought its been fix when syar2003 suggested to put it into port 3/4 and also just bout 2 days after that i bought this new PSU. since then havent been using my rig a lot coz of my work, anyway i got a few days timeoff from work so i could spent more time with my rig ehehehehe.
Well I notice that i was still getting random restarts & freeze specially when my rig is idle, downloading & surfing mainly, CnQ is off, havent been doin OC, MemTest86 shows no error with my RAM. Anyway the problem seems to have gotten worse just about 2days ago, i left my PC turned on downloading some torrents, while i was doin some chores at home, while i noticed just about for every hour it keeps on restarting, so i was kind of worried, ive check event viewer in Admin tools it doesnt show any apps error, so I did some troubleshooting, funny thing is while i was using it, it just froze on me but HDD light is active, anyway I restarted it took about 5-6 mins. to detect the seagate drive booted to windows but froze again w/ HDD light still blinking. I immediately loaded up SeaTools to check for bad sectors on this new drive to determine if its defective, on the first run just about 16% percent it started showing bad sectors but something was fishy HD is not responding anymore, I mean it's as if it wasnt there being accessed by the PC, I left it off for an Hour, check cables & stuff, loaded up again SeaTools weird thing is it passed perfectly no Bad Sectors on the second run, i did some benchmark no change in performance, and up until now almost a day, it has not been acting up on me, and ive been up all night.
need help guys thanks, sorry for the long post, it had to be detailed, ive been up all night thinking whats wrong, i decided to ask for help...

I don't know about the NCQ feature and how it affects running drives
w/native NCQ on NF3 250 .It was a speculation only .
But the coincidence with yours and the guys with maxtor DM10's brings me
to think this could be the culprit .
The disks i have maxtor DM9's sata 150 works like a charm .
They also have both molex and satapower connector so you can choose witch to use.
I had so many strange things happening with the seagate so it will will be
lying in the drawer and collect dust i guess .Didn't take the chance using it .
I did though have a slight overclock using it on sata1/2 but way below 230
(only 12mhz overclock made corruption and even at 200mhz).
Strange thing happend to me to with seatools (like your experience),
that it reported a bunch of errors and suggested rma.
But tested on another pc it is completly okay.
Perhaps todays bios handle it better , i don't know . And it's hard to
test atm as it will mean breaking my 0+1 raid .
What i remember was making it work okay was :
-on port 3/4
-changed hidden setting under IDE setup , from disabled to enabled automatic block mode
-Using Microsoft IDE drivers

Are there any sound cards with best driver support for Arch?

I was wondering if there are any sound cards that have the best driver support for ArchLinux? I currently own a Creative Labs X-FI Platinum Edition. The main reason I like the Platinum is that has an interface you can plug MIDI and Audio ports into. It seems to me, however, that Creative is the worst company to support Linux drivers. If anyone has any opinions, please feel free to comment. According to all my research, ALSA sound drivers are the most supportive for sound. Am I also correct in this assumption?

yeah, creative sucks. go with m-audio. they support linux unlike creative.

HT201209 I have a USA film code but im from the UK and it won't redeem, it says for USA costumers only, is there any way i can change it to UK?

Title says it all, can i do anything about this?

I got the code from a trust worthy website where i buy steam game codes from, they are a ligit site they are called cjs-cdkeys, but they said if i create an USA account it should download but USA account asks for a USA bank and billing address so im a little stuck, iv asked itunes if they could change it for a UK code, still waiting for a reply but if they say no i quess ill have to get a refund, the only reason i bought it from that site and not itunes is because it was half price "my bad"

Is it safe to use myipad or iPhone for online banking or are there any risks

Can anyone give me the low down on using my iPad or iPhone to do online banking.

Siri is beta software at this point. She can only do general things for me here in Mexico, not much regarding anything local beyond the weather. I am not familiar with the Siri capability in the UK. If you are hearing a male voice then you likely have it configured corectly for the UK. If you are hearing a female voice, then that is likely not configured correctly.

Are there any legal issues against sharing a single Adobe Creative Cloud username and password among other coworkers for work related projects?

A coworker of mine shared his Adobe Creative Cloud password and username with me so that I could download Adobe Premiere onto my own work computer to do some video editing projects. Before, I download this onto my computer, I want to make sure there are no legal problems in doing this.

I don't think that is allowed... "A" is allowed 2 activations Cloud License allows 2 activations http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html
I don't think you as "B" are allowed to use A's account
