Using a serial Wacom tablet on a Mac Pro

I have a good Wacom tablet with serial port interface that I would like to connect to a Mac Pro.
Is there some way to do this? Is there any sort of serial to usb adapter or would that not work with a Mac Pro?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think so. See these knowledge base articles from Wacom:

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).

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.

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.

Connecting a serial wacom tablet to the new iMac

Hello,
At home I have an old PC (please don't laugh, I use a Mac at work) and I hope to change this to the new iMac very soon. I have a A4 wacom tablet connected to the PC via the serial port. Is it possible to get an adapter (serial to USB) that will work on the iMac so that I can use the tablet and not have to shell out another X anount of money for a new one??
Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded my wacom tablet onto my mac, but I cannot open the drawing apps that come with it. When i search the appstore for one, i cannot find any. Help?

I really have no clue on how to proceed furthur than this, could someone please help?

I'm not clear what you mean by "downloaded my wacom tablet"? Do you have a Wacom tablet? Software for it would be on the Wacom website, not in the Mac App Store (although I know that there are apps in the MAS that could use the tablet).
Visit Wacom if you're looking for drivers for your tablet -> http://www.wacom.com/en/us?gclid=CPj_sPKasrwCFelZ7AodnA0A7w.

How do I use an external web cam with my Mac Pro on Skype?

I am trying to use my MAC Pro with an external web cam (Logitec C615) on Skype. I want to use the external so that I can pan and video a room full of people. Kind of hard to do with the built in cam.
How do I tell the Mac Pro to use the external for Skype and not the built in?

Go to Skype preferences, click on audio/video, and choose your camera from the drop down menu...

Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

Hello Everyone:
I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate. Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
Thank you in advance.

1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
Yes.
Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
Not if you want full resolution. You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want to be as close to the display.

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.

Using 2005 30" Cinema display with new mac pro

I will order a new MacPro to replace my Mac Pro 1.1 immediately upon release. I also have a 30" Cinema Display version 2005. It's interface with the existing Mac Pro is three cable hookup: DVI, USB and Firewire 400. By connecting the Cinema display using a bunch of adaptors, can I make the display work with the new MacPro until a good 4K display is out there? Alternatively, I'll have to buy a new display from current technology or the few 4k's available today.
Thanks for your help.

yes, use a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter plugged into the ThunderBolt port. The HDMI port has limited resolutions, not including 1560 by 1600 best for 30" cinema display.

Can I use a Windows internal HDD on my Mac Pro? (No Bootcamp)

Hey, I have a mac pro early 2008 I believe and it has a 500gb hdd with osx installed not sure which version. Anyways, I ordered a 1tb hdd and I was wondering if I could just install it in the primary hdd slot and install windows on it straight up with no bootcamp or anything. Would that work, just booting and installing a new hdd with windows on my mac pro? If so what else would I need to know to get the best performance, and if it is possible could I still switch to my second hdd that'srunning ios and is also installed and use it as a mac when I want? Please let me know, looking to install soon.

For that you need the Boot Camp control panel in Windows.
If you want NTFS (but not as startup disk option) then buy Paragon's - it has its own startup disk but often does not see the Windows hdd. I blame some of it on Apple's proprietary one-off EFI implementation which is different from the UEFI Intel, Microsfosft and others have used.
Use the Option and try BootChamp (never used it myself).
Of course if OS X isn't present it seems to immediately boot Windows for me.
you should be able to find Boot Camp 3.x or above to download and install inside Windows.

Moving data from a dead G5 with serial ATA drives to a Mac Pro

I have a dead Power Mac dual 2.7 GHz G5. The red light on the edge of the mother board is on - and the machine does not start up. It has been dying slowly - the dual monitors turn off when I send an image to my printer.
It is under Apple Care - and today I purchased a Mac Pro quad 3.0 to replace it.
But - I need some files from the 2 drives in the dead dual 2.7 G5. They are 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives.
From what I read here I cannot simply put the drives into the new Mac Pro.
So - I think that I need a firewire enclosure for the 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives that will let me get out the data.
What is a good enclosure to do this - or is there another way? I can't send in the G5 for repair until I rescue the data from the drives and erase them.
Dual 2.7 G5, 2 intel iMacs, 1 MacBook, 1 Powerbook, 18 G4 Macs, 3 iPods Mac OS X (10.4.9) I teach Digital Photography clases - on Macs

You can install them - you just won't be able to boot
from them.
Don't move programs over - you should re-install them
instead.
That would be great. I don't need to boot from them - I just need to rescue some files.
Can I erase them from the Mac pro before I send the G5 off for service?

Can I use Tiger and Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro?

I have a 3 year old Mac Pro with 2 internal hard drives installed by Apple at the time of purchase. At present, I'm using Tiger 10.4.11. I've purchased Snow Leopard (The Family Pack with 5 licenses) and have installed it on my MacBook Pro.
I haven't put Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro since it is my main, workhorse computer and I have several older applications that aren't compatible with Snow Leopard.
My question is: Can I install Snow Leopard on my second internal drive and leave Tiger on the main drive? That way I could use either system by changing the start-up drive to the system I want to use. Is this possible, or advisable? Will it work or cause problems?
Another question: If one of the drives needs repair, could I boot up in the other drive and run Disk Utility to make the repairs instead of booting the computer from the original software CD? (I'm having a problem finding the original Tiger 10.4 System CD in my organizationally challenged graphic design and illustration studio.)
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

HT1175 Using G-Raid to backup iMac and Mac Pro laptop

Has anyone atttempted to backup both machines to a Hitachi G-Raid with one partition? If they have, was it by direct USB 2.0 wire using AirPort Express for the Mac Pro and direct fire wire to the iMAC?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

To backup in the future requires hooking up each machine individually and using TM.
To do it that way, yes, but that's not your best bet.
First, having both sets of backups made directly, in the same partition, may present problems later on. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #4 for details.
Second, the inconvenience of switching back and forth means both Macs won't get regular backups. If you do switch frequently, there's the risk of damaging a port or plug.
Your best bet is to partition the drive. Continue backing-up the iMac to one partition directly. Leave the drive connected to the iMac, and back the laptop up to the other partition via your network. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #33 for details, and #22 for setup instructions. That way, both will be backed-up hourly, as long as they're awake and the laptop is in range of your network.
Will my original question of using AirPort Express work
No. You cannot connect a drive to an Airport Express's USB port, only a printer.

Now I am looking to the new magsafe connector, that was made to the new mac pro and the deliver is the next day. My question is

Guys we have a legit question here about a power cord and you guys are going back and forth here. If you guys want to ccontinue can you please just give each other your emails.
ANYWAY - What I know of the magsafe cord is s different sized port.
All magsafe plugs fit in all magsafe sockets, no exception. Your only concern is that the power output of the supply be equal to or greater than the computer into which it is plugged.
