The Mac Pro sly door in front I not opening fully

For me to open the upper driver. I have to hold the door down

I think there's some kind of screw around the shutter door area. If too tight, could stop the sly door from moving
you might have to loosen it (take the drive out first, though)

    Where is the Read Receipt button in the Mac Pro email?

    There are no Read Receipts in Mail.

  • Can the Mac Pro sit on an incline

    Can we place a Mac Pro on an incline (angle).
    We have a situation in a not so deep rack system.
    The Mac Pro's media tray hits the front doors when ejecting.
    Cant even fit a USB stick in the front.
    We are looking for a rack table top thatll fit all the way to the back but nothing has come up on Google.

    Inclines are OK.  All cooling is via fans, not convection.

  • When I shut down the Mac Pro, it restarts

    Has anyone run into this issue with their Mac Pro? When I shut down the computer (either via the Ctrl + Option + Cmd + Eject or the Shut Down command from the Apple menu drop down), the Mac Pro will simply restart and take me back to my log-in screen.
    At this point, I can hit the shut down button on the login window and it will shutdown, but this is annoying, a waste of time, and unnecessary.
    I have tried performing an SMC reset, but it has not resolved this issue.
    Specs: Mac Pro (2010)
    3.33 GHz 6-Core
    (2) 2TB Internal HDD
    12GB ram
    ATI 5870 graphics card (1GB)

    I have noticed the exact same behaviour. It only happens when I have something plugged into one of the front USB ports (example : external HD, USB key)
    Apparently the system crashes during the shut down process, and then reboots.
    Unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution

  • Which DVD drvies will fit into the Mac Pro?

    I have two DVD drives from my PC that will not open and close in the mac pro due to the tray being about 1mm to low.
    I have removed the front bezels off the drives but they are just a bit too low.
    The drives are:
    Sony dw-d18a and Sony dw-Q28a
    Anyone know some drives that will fit?

    The simplest is to match the OEM drives that Apple are using. I know that they use the Pioneer DVR-111D as well a Sony model. Just a search in these forms will give you a specific model.

  • Why can I not purchase the Mac pro in the United Kingdom?

    Mac pro.

    In most parts of the world, you can remove the side door with the Mac Pro 65 lb tower still running, and check whether fans are all running.
    CAUTION: In the EU, the European commission has determined that you are too stupid not to put your finger in the fans, and the Mac Pro's plastic fans with pitiful 12 Volt motors are so dangerous it cannot be sold in the EU until a new model is released (possibly later this year). So this advice is not to be used in Europe.
    Also, be certain that any bananas you buy are not too strongly curved -- those are illegal in Europe. Unfortunately, you will be forced to fend for yourself when using refillable Olive Oil bottles in restaurants -- they were unable to develop a consensus to ban them outright for the good of the public. So please, be extremely careful!

  • Inside the Mac Pro

    New pics from inside the Mac Pro for those of you who have not seen them.
    http://www.powermax.com/articles_reviews/article.php?id=33

    Recently I had to access the inside of my Mac Pro and found a lot of dust. We have 3 dogs, so it is probably more of a problem than for people with no pets. Being on the floor doesn't help the situation, either.
    I cleaned out what I could see– and some of what I could not see in between components. I used my home vacuum cleaner with the plastic crevice tool. A static wrist strap was attached to the hand holding the vacuum. I pulled out the RAM boards and the hard drives and cleaned them with the vacuum.
    Also, I have put together some 3/8-inch vinyl tubing that I can use with my vacuum to clean all sorts of delicate things. My next project will be to make a shroud that attached on the back of the computer so that it will suck up all dust that is dislodged when I blow air into the front (without opening it) or into the inside parts (when it is opened).

  • How loud is the Mac Pro under heavy load?

    Greetings to all.
    I've got a Quad that currently likes to rev up it's fans when I'm doing 4 core calculations (rendering). It gets loud enough that it usually drones out anything not in my immediate area of my desk in my office. Just slightly quieter then the noise it throws off when you run Apple Hardware Test (which has no thermal management, so everything runs at full blast).
    I'm fine with a loud computer, the Quad's still quieter then some of my PC's. But I would like to know- everyone is clamering about the Mac Pro's being quieter then the Quad.
    Is this under load, or just idling?
    Are the Mac Pro's as loud as the Quad when loaded down?
    -S'Captain

    I have a dual 2.0 GHz Rev. A G5 and now am using a MP 3.0 GHz. The G5 is louder at idle than the MP is at full throttle. I decided to see how loud it would get but maxing out all 4 cores overnight. I came into the room the next day and was bummed it had crashed because it sounded like it had shut off but I moved the mouse and to my delight the thing was still churning away at 400%. It is very very quiet and I have slowly gotten used to the fact that it is nearly impossible to tell if it is asleep or awake. The G5's seem to have a very large delta with regard to fan noise, not so bad at idle and kinda loud when fully loaded. The MP's seem to go from nearly silent to barely audible.
    Someone mentioned above that the machine has only passive heat-sinks on the CPUs which is true but misleading because each heat-sink has a dedicated fan right in-front of it in the case. So far I have added 4x1GB of non-Apple thermal spec RAM, i.e. no heat-sinks - just spreaders, and the fans have not spun any louder. Two of the sticks are Kingston and two are Crucials which were the wrong types due to an error by them and didn't have the Apple-style sinks on em. The Kingstons have run reliably for over a week with me stressing them almost every night and I have encountered a lone ECC error which was corrected. I think in cooler environments you may be OK with regular FB-DIMMS but in a hotter environment you may have issues, I keep it pretty cool where the MP lives.

  • On the Mac Pro Desktop can you use a Samsung smart tv as the main and only monitor? Is there any reason one would not do that with a wireless keyboard?

    I have not purchased the Mac Pro yet when I do my thought is to use our Samsung 55" Smart tv as the main monitor along with a bluetooth apple keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    A TV set is not a Monitor.
    A TV set is intended for displaying moving pictures, and not stable, static pictures, with bright, saturated colors in adjacent areas on the screen without "bleeding", fine lines one pixel wide without vibration, or smooth-edged diagonals in fine text edges.
    The 55" width is beyond your ability to see the screen edges when sitting close. If you sit appropriately far away, the text will be too small to read.
    The Mac requires that any display respond to a query including display_name and capabilities. Many TV sets have a problem "paying attention" to the computer port and responding when queried, so the screen may often remain dark at startup and after sleep, requiring your intervention to show a picture.

  • Hello ...  I have a problem with a wifi connection speed on my mac pro ... the problem is that in one room the internet opening for the websites is extremely slow ... but when i move the mac pro somewhat to other location ... the internet speed increase

    hello ....
    my connection problem on my mac pro is :
    that when i try to open a website on safari .... it delays ... and takes more than 30 seconds to open completely ...
    but when i move the mac pro to another location ... its internet opening speeds up ....
    also in one room ... web opening delays .... but on other rooms it is normal
    so what can i do to solve this problem ....
    Note : also when i hold it up and move in the same room ... the speed changes and somewhere speed up ... and in another location speed down ..
    thanks for you all ...
    Waiting for your support ... as quick as possible ...

    WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
    Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
    The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
    If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

  • How do I get the Mac Pro (2013) to recognize 4K monitors correctly?

    I have a 2013 Mac Pro, Six core, 32GB ram, FirePro 700s, 1TB storage, OS X 10.10. It's connected to a Samsung UN50HU6950FXZA 50" UHD TV via HDMI. The system info recognizes this monitor as a 120.5-inch with 7680 by 4050 resolution. WOW. In the Displays Preferences, this resolution shows up as "best for display". The actual resolution of the monitor is 3840 by 2160, but the closest scaled resolution shown is 3840 by 2025. This actually almost works ok, but requires setting the monitor to "fit" instead of 16 x 9; otherwise the image is slightly too wide for the screen. This happens whether the monitor is connected to the computers USB port or to a Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter. I've tried every combination. I've also booted from a different system disk, reset PRAM and power manager multiple times, used various combinations of monitors, disconnected all peripherals, run hardware diagnostics, everything.
    I tried to use the computer with a Seiki 39-inch UHD monitor and it also showed up with these weird resolutions sometimes on startup, maybe once in five times. I thought it was a monitor problem, so tried the Samsung.
    There's more, too. The machine doesn't play well with multiple monitors if one of the monitors is a 4K., it is not happy when I uses Spaces with a 4K monitor. In some cases, Final Cut Pro or Premiere CC will get jerky playback, the mouse pointer develops trails, other symptoms that look like graphics card failure. Only a restart corrects these issues.  When the computer wakes from sleep and a 4K monitor is used, the application windows do not come back to the same place on the screen; with 2 monitors, the windows may come back on the wrong screen or the menu may be on the wrong screen, or both.
    I wonder if anyone else is having similar problems. I have been on chat and phone with Apple support multiple times over this issue doing screen sharing and various diagnostics.  While they keep trying and escalating, no real progress has been made. I bought the Mac Pro to be able to work with 4K video and actually display it. So far it works, but there are lots of compromises and work-arounds. Apple has suggested bringing the machine to the Apple Store, but since it works fine with smaller monitors, that probably won't help. I finally got a support person to say they may need to try on-site service. I have a call scheduled for Monday--so maybe something will happen.
    The Pro is a great machine, but this stuff has been driving me crazy for months now. It's a great machine that just isn't ready for 4K yet

    The available display proprieties are based on information that the monitor/TV sends to the Mac. It appears it is not sending the correct info.
    You said " This happens whether the monitor is connected to the computers USB port or to a Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter.".
    I am confused about the reference to USB.
    Does the TV have a displayport or mini displayport input, that is best to use.
    Try using the free Display Menu app from the Mac app store. I have to use that to get 3840x2160 (native resolution) on my Dell monitor)

  • I have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?

    i have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.

  • I have a belkin 7 adapter for additional USB slots for my Mac Pro. It was working well till just recently I am getting a message that says the usb port on the Mac Pro is shutting down due to a very high power drain. Then it shuts the usb port down.

    I have a belkin 7 adapter for additional usb ports for my mac pro. It worked fine without problems till recently when the message regarding usb port drawing too much power and the computer shuts the port on the mac pro down. The strip comes with its own power supply adapter. The attachments are additional hard drives used as backups and independent data. Other than disconnecting it are there any fixes?

    You're getting the message because you're exceeding the available current, probably as a result of bus-powered drives. The power sources for hubs are rather small. Try using drives with their own power supplies.
