Im wondering what is the most GB of hard drive space I can have in my Mac Pro? The Apple representative on the phone said I could only do 8GB? Is this correct? I was thinking about maybe getting 3Tb internal hard drives, but that would exceed the limit apple representative said of a total of 8GB hard drive max?
Did I miss something?

Did I miss something?
Yes, what does "GB" refer to here? Is it hard drives or memory dimms?
If it's hard drives you can put any size SATA drive in your mac pro drive bays.
If it's memory dimms refer to OWC's charts for your model to see what you can add. So for a 5,1 (2010 Mac Pro) you could fill the slots with 8GB dimms.

Hello There,
Let me start off by stating that I'm no professional nor do I have the extensive knowledge to tell you exactly what wrong. What I know is from plain research I did when I was trying to decide wether to upgrade my macbook 6,1 (late 2009) model to 4GB or 8GB. Which by the way, what is your MacBook ID? 4,1 or 5,1 or 6,1
What I found is that Apple says that my Macbook 6,1 can only go up to 4GB of RAM but it can actually go up to 8GB. From the explanation they gave I understood that Apple, states what that particular machine can be upgraded to at the current time that model is manufactured.
I learned a lot mainly from different forums on the internet and the comments of people.
Try this web site macsales.com and see what they suggest you upgrade yours to.
The web site also helps you find you exact MacBook model to be able to upgrade accordingly. Heck you may also get a tech on a chat line and he can tell you what's wrong with your current RAM.
But again find out what is your MacBook model ID. See the link below:

What is the maximum rate we can achieve using 9403 in digital switching

what is the maximum rate we can achieve using 9403 in digital switching?
i am using 9102 chassi and 9012 controller.
i am trying to program the 9403 as the output port and i am using it for switch on one of my devices.
minimum pulse width should be =1micro second

Have you looked at the specifications in the user manual for the 9403?
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374069e.pdf
Looks likethe update rate for the 9403 using a cRIO 9102 chassis is 7microsec. I don't think you can get 1 microsec pulse width using the 9403, maybe try the 9401 or other high-speed module.

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM... Please advise!
Thanks! Matthew

Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

What's the maximum drive i can put in a MD G4 Dual 867

What's the maximum H drive i can put in a MD G4 Dual 867,
Can i put a bigger one as 120GB?
thanx
Oege

Hello, I've got a 250Gig hard drive waiting to go in my G4 Dual 867.
I'd like to sit it next to the original 60Gig drive that came with the Mac.
Can anyone point me to a diagram showing how to access the bay? It looks a bit fiddly.
Thanks.

What is the best video card for an Early 2008 Mac Pro

I have an early mac pro with a solid state drive. I use Adobe CC 2014. The old video card is not working. I loaded Yosemite and have bad problems using Prem Pro CC.
Any suggestions on the most suitable video card?

We love it when people want us to guess what video card and other items you have .... price is no object of course right.... and you want CUDA? so that means a GTX this time instead of what you have (5770 upgrade? no, the original 2600XT that really should have been ditched long ago).
Yosemite also makes more demands on the GPU.
The GTX 680 Mac Edition EVGA would be the first, though people are using even newer graphic cards in the Nvidia line.
New Nvidia GTX 970 and 980 - cMP? ( 1 2 3 4 5 6)

I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show. I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings. What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program. Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig. I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record. Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this? Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share. Thanks.
CP

I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad. Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment. I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal. Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time. I hope this feedback helps. One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.

What's the maximum RAM logic can use?

As we all know, the Mac Pros can sport up to 16 gig of RAM. The question is.... how much ram can Logic use?
I use piles of samples so i'd love to stick 8 gig in the mac pro (that i haven't bought yet)
Is it pointless to spend all that cash?
If it can only use 4 gig currently, (as i hear most apps do)
has anyone heard of plans to upgrade logic to use more?

I'm pretty sure that the MAC I have right (Dual 1.8 G5) now will use up to 8 gigs.. I have 5.5 in there right now. I'll try tonight and see if I can max the usage up to 5.

What is the maximum files ZipOutputStream can handle ?

Hi all,
Can ZipOutputStream support the zipping of a folder which contain large amount of files eg around 10 GB of data ? If so, what is the heap size require to open such a huge zip file ?
Is it better I break the total amount of files into small portion, and zip the small portions ?
Thanks

Why don't you try it?

I have a Mac 10.2.8 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. What is the highest upgrade I can get for this Mac because I don't want to have to upgrade my Mac or buy a new one?

I can't access certain links from sites, especially with a lot of graphics. I get messages to the effect that I need to upgrade my browser. But then the update says I need a 10.3 Mac or higher. Also any site with a lot of graphics takes forever to download. Is there an intermediate update that I could use instead for my Mac?

For Mac 10.2.8 you need Firefox 2.0.0.20 as Firefox 3 will NOT RUN on your Operating System.
Download Firefox 2.0.0.20 from HERE.... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Follow THESE Instructions to Install... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
BUT This is scheduled to be the LAST release of Firefox 2, so you will need to upgrade youur computer to receive further updates.

What is the best way to set up my new Mac Pro?

Not wanting to screw up in a process I've not done with a brand new machine before, I'm looking for feedback on my plan for setting my new Mac Pro next week...
The physical plan is this:
For RAM, I have four 2GB SDRAM's plus the supplied six 1GB modules. My plan here is to install the 2GB rams into the first four slots and install four of the 1GB modules into the remaining four slots for a total of 12GB's.
When the cost for 4GB modules gets down to reasonable, I'll buy four of them and bump the current rams down the line which will then give me a total of 24 gigs where I'll stay.
For my hard drives, I'm installing a 160GB Intel X25-M into the first drive bay
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/index.htm
using one of MaxUpgrades' 'MaxConnects' kits. I will use this drive for the operating system software and my applications and their libraries.
Next, into the remaining three drive bays, I am installing three 300GB WD Velociraptors. Mine are the pre-'backplane ready' versions:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
so I have bought these sleds for them...

I own one of Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P cards
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposatae4p.html
which, thanks to this forum, I now understand, with the correct firmware installed, function well so I will install it and be able to establish hardware RAID. I will create a RAID 0 set with the three Velociraptors and use it to store all of my data files.
Backup will happen on a 1TB WD 'Caviar Black' external drive connected through one of the Sonnet card's external eSATA ports and using the OS 'Time Machine' software.
And that's the physical plan. My question is about setting things up. The physical installation part is straight forward and I don't expect any difficulties but I'm wondering what is the best way to install the operating system.
Do I take a first step keeping the supplied hard drive installed, install the solid state drive into the next drive bay and then transfer the contents from the supplied drive onto the SSD or do I do the complete physical installation process and do a 'C' drive start up and install the OS that way?
And, do you have any tips/suggestions on setting up the RAID 0 set?
thanks for the help. I want to do this right.
JQ

oh mighty Hatter, I knew you'd have helpful guidance to offer! And thank you. You've confirmed my anxieties about the Sonnet card; kind of a 'too much, too quickly' sort of thing. And it's not that Sonnet's not a good company. Just everything to do with new technologies and the growth curve we all, manufacturers and users, go through when they come out. And, for sure, the new Mac Pro's are new technology; the single biggest forward leap in Apple's top-of-the-line machines for some time far as I can tell. Just reading at Intel's website about the Nehalem's is a joy!
So, I will proceed now with everything except for the controller card, leaving that 'til later. In the meantime, I think I'll just happily run with the four hard drives all running independently. No software RAID. I know just those, the SSD boot drive plus Velociraptor trio's going inside of a 2.66ghz 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro is going to be a working pleasure. Heck, this way, I'll get settled in and used to the machine's speed, have a great time doing so and then, in however many months, I can jump into spending another chunk of money on an excellent RAID card, RAID card's dear Barefeats will have tested and reviewed for us, set up my RAID 0 set and head of to those new races watching my computer leap for joy! Could be that, by then, the cost of Intel 160GB X25-M's will have dropped enough that I can afford to go for a second and have a two SSD RAID 0 boot drive... Yummy!
Thanks for the help. Like I say, I knew there was useful guidance hanging on some limb within your personal kit, (otherwise referred to as your mind)!
Interesting to read about the problems people have had with Sonnet's 2.17 update in PPC's... In this computer, my PowerMac G5 dual 2.7ghz, I have a Sonnet 'Tempo Sata X4P' controller card. I downloaded and installed 2.17 and got the same troubles; no cut, no paste, no 'drag and drop' etc. It was miserable.
Mine, fortunately, magically corrected after running the 'permissions verify and correct' process in Disc Utility and, after a restart, all was back to almost normal but for one exception; the Sonnet card was no longer present or functioning including the four eSATA ports out the back. (I ran Tech Tools Pro 5's repair suites first but, and who knows why, it didn't correct the problem...) This one was absolutely in the 'who knows what the f_'s going on and why it disappeared but did' class.
Oh, the other remnant is that, when the computer goes into sleep, after about five minutes, the fans rev up, and up, and the computer's frozen; only access is to do a forced shutdown pressing and holding the power button, so I've had to adopt a 'shut down whenever leaving it for more than fifteen minutes' approach to this dear friend. Once I've fully moved into and established my new one (which should arrive today, by the way... Yippeee!!! Can't wait!), I'll do a complete restoration on this one including taking out the Sonnet card. Usually, I sell my old Pro's but, this time, I'm going to keep this one as a back up and just general second computer for times I might need it. It has been such a great and dependable machine. Keeping it seems the right thing to do.
thanks Hatter. I'll let you know how things go, including what happens with the SSD. I don't have speed test software so I won't be able to track it's performance like that guy in the post you gave me did...
