Transmit Rate on my Mac Pro and MBP
Hi,
I have a early 09 MBP and an early 08 Mac Pro. I recently upgraded both from SL to ML. Both are running on the same wireless network, set up with anAirport express. I am experiencing really erratic wifi signals on my Mac Pro (it'll drop out w/i a few min. of connecting to a wifi), though my mbp stays on the network just fine.
I opened up system profiler and wrote down the following numbers
MBP Pro
Signal/ noise -66 dBm / -86 dBm -84 dBm / -85 dBm
Transmit rate 117 26
MCS Index 14 9
What does these number mean? do I need a new airport card for my pro?
Thanks
Angela
If you download and use OmniDiskSweeper, It will tell you what is using the disk space.

Photostream question (Mavericks, ML, MBP, Mac Pro and iPhone)
hi all,
i am posting the dialogs from Aperture enabling various aspects of Photostream/iCloud (mac pro and ML at the top and MBP and Mavericks at the bottom) and i am having a devil of a time figuring out how to manage all of this. i take a /ton/ of pictures on my iPhone and i seem to have a multiplicity of issues i can't solve by googling. i have read what i can find in the help and faq sections.
i should also say that while i SYNC my phone via iTunes on my MBP i /import/ photos into Aperture on my desktop machine which is a Mac Pro. i keep a small library in Aperture on the MBP and do check some of the folders to sync to the iPhone. i find this easiest since i am have a big Aperture database that i keep on the large HD on the Mac Pro but for customizing Apps, synced images, music etc i find it easier to manage on the laptop.
anyway, i have the following problems/questions:
1. do i need to SYNC my iphone to my Mac Pro with some frequency and physically import photos into Aperture in order to not LOSE the photos off the phone after some period of time? i mean, i /don't/ do this with an discipline and i have been assuming that they all remain there in a "monthly dated photostream" folder /until/ i do a physical import from the phone but something i read recently caused me to think that there is a 1000 image limit and that anything NOT IMPORTED by a certain timeframe means photos will basically get bumped off the phone never to be seen again if they are not physically imported.
2. can i leave images in a monthly dated photostream folder (on both the laptop and desktop machines) and basically never touch them - assuming that i am also IMPORTING these images into projects into Aperture?
3. i have an "iPhone Sync" folder in Aperture and i have selected this folder to sync via iTunes with my iPhone. however, when this folder gets to the iPhone the images in here always seem to be mixed up with other images that i took ON THE PHONE. so if i have images on the laptop that i dropped into a folder and synced /to/ the phone - is there a way to keep these separate from what i am seeing on the phone in terms of photos i took on the phone? when they get mixed together it is so confusing i can't figure out what is happening and i can't find anything. i would like to keep the synced images independent of the images shot on the phone.
4. is there a Idiots Guide to Photostream on the iPhone that someone can give me?
A. i am seeing a "Photos" icon and when i hit this it seems to show me a YEARLY list and then in the yearly list there are DATED groups. my most recent dated group shows /locations/ as well and i am not sure if this is an option or what. ALSO, why are images that i synced in a folder on my is there a way to delete these images? is it possible images that were synced from my laptop are showing up in here and if so is there a way to prevent this?
B. Albums are showing "Camera Roll" "My Photo Stream" as well as "Events (from my mac)". Event (from my mac) is supposed to show Images in Projects that were SYNCED from my laptop and Camera Roll (390 images) is supposed to show images taken on my iPhone since the last import if i deleted everything on the last import? Does My Photo Stream (1000 images) somehow show all the images in Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) AND somehow /some/ of the images synced from my laptop in some way? i mean, this is what i think i am seeing but it is uber confusing.
THANKS for any help on this,

Cannot Complete Installation of Vista with Mac Pro and Boot Camp
I only have one hard drive with my Mac Pro, and I partitioned the drive into two sections with boot camp and restarted with my Vista 64 bit Ultimate CD.
I have tried formatting the partition with Vista and it still gives me the dreaded error message of "windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria". I've tried deleting the partition during installation, and making a new partition with Vista, reformatting, then restarting the computer. Same message.
I don't know what to do. I've tried like mad searching for topics like this one here, but every one of them deals with installing vista on a second dedicated hard drive on the Mac Pro. I only have one. How do I get this to work?
Please help if you can. I would REALLY appreciate it. I'll be watching the thread. Thank you!!Loyalty4Life wrote:
Thank you for your reply! I'll be here all night.
I have the 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. I tried installing Vista ultimate with my 32 bit software, but I still get the same message (I own both legally, btw).
Thanks for your help.
Several things to do:
Run OS-X Disk utility and repair the disk if necessary, and file permissions.
Be sure your HD has the GUID partition scheme and if it has SMART that it's OK
Zap the PRAM
Be sure you are logged in as administrator when creating the BC partition and starting the installation of Windows from Leopard
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I was using BootCamp beta, 1.2 or 1.3. I created the partition with BootCamp Assistant.app as you did. It's a 60GB partition that I formatted with NTFS with BC.
After starting the install in Tiger, I then simply inserted the Vista 64-bit DVD and that was it.
It just installed.
Ditto with XP-Pro on my other MBP. Zero problems with BC. It was also done with a beta, BC1.0.
I have never installed Windows using Leopard. When I updated to Leopard from Tiger nothing changed, but there seem to be more problems with Leopard and BC2.0 than there were with Tiger and the beta versions.
There are no requirements about legality until after the OS is installed, so that's a moot point.
There are some install DVDs that are in ISO format and they won't work, but it seems that yours is working but not finding a suitable volume.
You might try reformatting the BC partition with BootCamp assistant as FAt32 and seeing if that works, but you are limited to 32GB if you do that, but it would be a good test. Vista should then format it into NTFS.
Be sure that your Leopard OS is fully backed up because stuff happens when you keep fooling around with partitions.

Is my mac pro and visio 42' tv compatible?
I am trying to use my 42"Visio LCD as a monitor on my mac pro and I am having no success. Are they compatible? If they are any help would be appreciated on making it work. They are connected with a DVI-d to HDMI cable.
Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
When using a DVI connection for the video you need to handle the audio separately since audio is not passed through DVI. You could connect your stereo audio out to your TV (3.5 mm stereo jack for the compter to usually RCA jacks on the TV).
And if running Lion, do not run in Lion full screen mode. -
Can i "copy" a 200 GB boot camp partition from Mac Pro to MBP?
i spent a lot of time working with virtual machines and i have decided i simply have to increase the size of my mac pro HD and put a boot camp partition in it.
can i COPY a 200 GB windows 7 boot camp partition from my 1 TB Mac Pro drive to a 200 GB partition on my MBP that will have a 500 GB drive?
this would let me focus on doing a full install and full setup on the Mac Pro and just copy this over to the MBP (when i get the new drive) saving me a ton o time.
TIA
Also, is this something for WinClone?hi kappy. THANK YOU.
is it possible that you or anyone has actually done this machine to machine and partition to partition?
i want to avoid a situation where i try to do this only to find it works better or is much simplyer to the the fresh install on the MacBook Pro just fresh.

I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.

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.

My 5yr old iMac will not connect to the Internet. All other computers at home will, including my Mac Pro and iPad. I'm at my wits end. What should I do?
Which OS are you using (update your user profile).Try a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset. -
IPhone not showing in iTunes on Mac Pro, and BLOWS keyboard on two Macs!
I have an extremely annoying issue since I upgraded my original iPhone to 2.0 and 2.1:
- I've got an iPhone (8GB, first gen) with 2.1 firmware
- Mac Pro early 2008
- Aluminium Keyboard (standard)
- iTunes 8
Whenever I attach my iPhone, the keyboard goes dead. Totally. Only way to re-animate it is by unplugging the iPhone and wait 5 seconds, then re-plug the keyboard. This is on a newly created Admin account on the Mac Pro and the iPhone that has been through a total factory reset back to 2.1 today...
And a newly re-installed iTunes 8 on (all computers).
Note my iPhone is no longer recognized in iPhoto or Aperture or iTunes on the Mac Pro either.
However, the iPhone works fine on a Mac Book Pro (newest model).
It does show up and sync on an iMac Intel 2.0 GHy, but kicks the Aluminum keyboard on that machine as well...
What is going on??
I will have to double-post this in iTunes and iPhone section, apologies in advance, but this is just too ridiculous... someone must have an answer to this. At least an explanation. I have been through every single USB port on my Mac Pro.
Apple "Genius" in Apple Store Regent Street recommended an archive & install of Leopard 10.5.x. Yeah right. I am working on this machine, I have not got time for that silly idea...
The thing is, this all worked fine before the 2.0/2.1 update... but why is the bl oo dy thing working on a new MacBook Pro and not on my Mac Pro?// Apologies for cross-posting this in three threads, but as it - at least for myself - provided an instant solution to a nagging problem, it should be alright. //
Alrighty, here we go - today I FINALLY made successful progress WITHOUT having to re-install my entire system...
I figured it was very weird that my iPod Mini would work fine on my Mac Pro USB ports, as all other small devices did too, but that the iPhone (first gen) would simply not trigger any reaction whatsoever.
The iPhone could be ruled out from being the funny one as it was instantly recognized on Macs in the Apple Shop. As I really did not feel I had time to archive & install and whatnot on my work machine, and the fact that I always thought my Mac Pro should have a few more (USB) ports, I researched suitable internal USB expansion boards.
After reading up about it, I decided to get this one: *Sonnet Allegro Express USB* - this card installs in seconds - you simply sht down your Mac Pro, pull the mains plug, take off the side door, unscrew the two thumbscrews holding the blind plates towards the back, take out one of the blinds, push the card in carefully but all the way in, re-attach the blind-holding plate and fire up your machine.
I plugged my regular iPhone dock into the back, pushed in my iPhone, and was instantly greeted by the short humming of the iPhone! Starting iTunes, the iPhone popped up in the side bar again - my precious iPhone is back alive and happy to sync contents!
Very happy to finally have found a solution.
If anyone tries this, I really hope it works as good for you as it did for me - if it doesn't, then for about $50 you've at least got those extra four USB ports on the back of your Mac Pro you always wanted
Good luck! -
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/
