Thunderbolt and Mac-Pro

I have a MBP "17/ 2011 and a Thunderbolt Display "27/2011 . Does anybody knows if there will be an adapter to use a Mac Pro/2007 with the TBolt display ?

You can't. TB displays only work on iMac and others like MacBook line with motherboard support.
So you need "old" not  proprietary, and lots of those to choose from.

  • Thunderbolt for Mac Pro?

    Any news for thunderbolt in Mac Pro?

    Anxious is what all the people asking over the last year and thinking it was needed
    Your Mac Pro has more bandwidth than TB supplies
    And you can learn about Thunderbolt from Apple, Intel and Wikipedia
    Intel will this fall offer motherboards (PC segment) - Apple had Thuderbolt locked in for a year.
    TB interface connections cost a lot more than some realized and are hoping that will go down.
    A search of forum from Google would turn up a lot of threads and reasons why it makes sense on laptops but not much for us. And it is still too new and buggy even.

  • Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

    I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on  how to fix this.

    I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

  • Is it OK to use USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive?

    Is it OK to use a USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive? I was told by Sweetwater tech support to use Firewire, but both the FW400 and FW800 connections crash my audio interface software mixer (Presonus' "Universal Control" software).
    Both Firewire connections also create a 10 second hang for each Command-Save that I do.
    USB 2.0 for the external drive seems to be working so far, but is there some reason I should be wary of using this as my go-to project drive? In other words, I am imagining that there was probably some definite reason that the tech support guy mentioned not to use it. But maybe not. It's a brand new Glyph. In any event, it's nice to have the 10 second hang eliminated, and I was just looking for some advice, since digging into the Presonus software issue could take some time.

    If you have a mac pro, why not stick the external HDD inside via one of your many SATA cables & have it run 9 times faster than your USB?
    Or stick a HDD CADDY in your mac pro, so you can slot in a full sized 3TB HDD for recording, and when you are done, pull it out & slip it in an external enclosure if you need to take it places?

    The Mac Pro - the desktop computer - does not support Airdrop, if that's what you mean.

  • Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

    Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

    http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
    Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

    Thanks

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • New to MAC - trying to sync iphone and Mac Pro with imac

    Hi,
    Just made the switch to Mac. Purchased my Mac Pro yesterday, loaded .Mac, and plugged in my iPhone to the computer. Followed the steps to Sync iCal and contacts from iPhone and although it is registering there is a phone and downloading photos, it is not syncing anything else.
    The steps I took were System Preferences, .mac, and checked the relevant boxes. It indicates syncing is taking place but the calendar on iPhone and Mac Pro are not syncing.
    Could anyone help with advice? SHould I be able to sync easily between the iPhone and the Mac Pro with .mac?

    You use iTunes to sync an iPhone - not *.Mac Sync* or iSync.
    *.Mac Sync* is for syncing between Macs, and iSync is for syncing third-party mobile phones and PDAs.
    The iPhone specific forums are here:

  • HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

    Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
    Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
    Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
    Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
    Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • Thunderbolt Display & Mac Pro

    Can I connect a Thunderbolt Display To the MacPro?

    The ThunderBolt display requires a Mac that was made with a ThunderBolt port.
    The Mac Pro 65lb tower is not currently a member of that club.
    It will not work, and there is no known way to make it work.

  • Can I hard wire a link between Macbook Air and Mac Pro?

    My Macbook Air currently connects to my office network using WiFi.
    But for some reason it takes 20 hours to load new software onto the Air using disc sharing from my Mac Pro, the fastest of my desktops.
    The transfer is over Wi-Fi and involves several Gb of data, but it seems excessively slow.
    Is there any way of hard-wiring the Air to the Pro to allow faster installation?
    The Air has both Thunderbolt and USB sockets, whilst the Pro has USB and Firewire.
    Many thanks,
    Bristly Badger

    I would suggest to use a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with the Air. Disconnect the MacPro from the Network, simply connect the cable to the MacBook Air's Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter instead. Wait a few seconds until both computers have picked self-assigned IP Addresses, and the shared disk should show up on the MacBook Air. Speed will be 100MB/s. In other words, 10GB will transfer in two minutes. (If the Pro's disks can keep up, that is...)

  • Connecting an imac and mac pro help

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy an 8 core Mac Pro and an iMac 27", what I'd like to do is connect them so I can use the iMac for the display and also join the processors and ram to run as one computer. I will be using this computer for Logic Pro and Ableton.
    Is this at all possible?
    Thanks Jeff

    The early 27" iMac could be connected to a Mac Pro's Mini DisplayPort for use as an external display
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924#>
    but the iMac's processor and RAM would not be available for any computing.
    The current 27" iMac uses Thunderbolt, so will not work with a Mac Pro.

  • No Thunderbolt on Mac Pros?

    We just bought 4 new Mac Pro towers...like $20,000...and the 4TB external Thunderbolt RAID unit (for video editing work mostly)
    Now we find out the Mac Pro's don't have thunderbolt? Really? There is no adaprter card or anything?
    You simply CANNOT use thunderbolt on a Mac Pro?!
    I guess Apple is saying Thunderbolt isn't for pros...just like FCPX

  • When will I have thunderbolt for Mac Pro?

    I have Quad MacBook w/ Thunderbolt, But When will they release a Mac Pro with Thunderbolt? Anyone have any idea or heard any rumors?
    Thanks Bobby

    Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about Thunderbolt at this point. Yes, it has amazing potential, but there's hardly any devices that use it. Even USB 3.0 isn't really taking off. Let the people who just purchased the hardware for it be the guinea pigs. A lot may depend if the Windows market invests in the tech. It's going to be much more difficult to sell an external HD that only connects to macs.
    For now, USB 2.0 works fine (Firewire if doing video editing) and even my internal Blu-ray burner works using a SATA cable. The transfer rate for both is quite acceptible for me.
    I DO wonder if a plug-in card would be possible. I'm not tech savy, so not sure if the PCI Express slots supports that speed.

  • When thunderbolt on mac pro?

    Any rumors on when a new Mac Pro will come out with thunderbolt?

    Most people for now are asking if there are any PCIe cards, and looking for 3rd party support.
    Not only is the "when will Apple release" sort of frowned upon strongly, and always unknown until it happens, it depends on Intel of course, and whether it is a deal-breaker.
    ie,
    If and when you need something is always the right time.
    New = gee, are there any surprises in store? Will it take 3-4 months for OS and driver support as well as the 'gottcha" for 3rd party software and device support?
    TB is big news for laptops. We've always had ability to add PCIe SAS/SATA, and not sure what it will mean to a Mac Pro and video link.
    USB3 use to get asked a lot, and people wanting to add USB3 storage though those seem to have higher price and only slightly better than an eSATA controller interface.
