  • I have a mac pro 1.1. the main hard drive failed. How do I reload OS X 10.7 back in my computer. the app store will not let me reinstall this os. My computer is not compatible OS x 10.8?

    You need to first install the OS your Mac came on the bundled gray disks. Assuming it's Snow Leopard, you could then login into the App Store using your same Apple ID and password to download and install Lion.
    If your Mac is a bit older and came with Leopard, 10.5.x, you can bypass that and install Snow Leopard from your retail disk. The only software you'd need to install separately from the gray disks would be the optional software, such as the iLife suite and other titles not included on the retail SL disk.

  • When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media.  Any ideas on how to fix this.  It only happens in fcp.

    By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
    Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
    Good luck.

  • Both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number

    both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number how can i changed

    If they are both using the same iMessage Apple ID, they "belong" to the same person, so it makes sense that they be addressed together. To use different phone numbers, assign them different iMessage Apple IDs associated with different iPhones. Alternatively, set one to "listen" to the phone number and the other to "listen" to an email address.

  • Can you turn the power of a Mac Pro on using the wireless keyboard?

    I have my Mac Pro tower at the other end of a table and I want to remotely turn it on with the Wireless keyboard or Trackpad.
    I have it auto turning on in the Morning but would like to control it in case I shut down by accident from across the room.
    Thanks!

    The processors in the Mac Pro are socketed so they
    can be replaced as long as the replacement processor
    is compatible. You could for example get a 2 Ghz Mac
    Pro and later replace the Xeon processors with the
    3.0 Ghz processors.
    That's great news! Thank you so much for your help. Does that mean im limited at 3.0ghz? Is there away to tell what the motherboard can max out to? Lets say I upgrade in three years and i want to put in a 3.5 or whatever may be available then. As long as its the same type of chip do i have that option? Or is 3.0 the max for the current intel motherboard?

  • How can I tell whether my Mac Pro is using the bluetooth dongle or not?

    I got myself a bluetooth dongle to get around the terrible internal BT signal. When it's in use, it alleviates all my troubles and I can actually stroll halfway down the hall and still type accurately.
    However, it seems that every time I reboot, it must stop using the dongle and use the internal, because I then get the terrible signal of the internal antenna. The only way to convince my computer to use the dongle, is to unplug and plug it back in. Then I have to delete all my bluetooth devices and pair them again!
    So yes, I am seeking a two-part solution.
    Firstly, I'd like to know if there's anywhere in System Profiler, BT Preferences, Terminal, etc that will just inform me of WHICH bluetooth my computer is using.
    Secondly, I'd ideally want to set it to default to the dongle. If this isn't possible, at least the first part would let me know when I need to arduously re-do my settings.
    Thank you very, very much. Usually this isn't that big an issue, as I only rarely need to move my peripherals off my desk, but I got a Magic Mouse earlier this week and its extremely clear it doesn't have as strong an antenna or whatever as the Mighty Mouse, and it starts going erratic if I move it so much as a foot from the Mac Pro tower.

    I have the same problem and I cannot find any way to turn off the internal bluetooth without killing all bluetooth including the dongle. If someone has a way to turn off the internal bluetooth I want to see it.
    Thanks

  • How do i install and use the lacie hard disk

    i bought the 1TB Lacie Rugged Hard Drive because I have run out of disk space on my Mac desktop. Once I plug it in, I can't seem to format it for the Mac and then use it to transfer my iPhoto library from my desktop to the Lacie Hard drive. Please help! Thanks.

    I went into Disk Utility and into Erase and selected Mac OS Journaled and hit "Erase" (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
    ... it was only a mistake if the LaCie drive has multiple partitions on it. Sometimes they have a utiliy partition that I like to remove.
    Then when asked whether I wanted to use Time Machine to back up everything on my Mac, I hit "yes". (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
    ... it was only a mistake if you didn't want TimeMachine to use it.
    So now the Lacie image on my desktop has turned from orange to green (Time Machine?) and is backing up 700,000 things. . .I just want to free up space on my Mac so I was thinking of moving my iPhoto library from my Mac over to the Lacie Hard Drive. Will I be able to still do that, given what I just did above? If so, do I just drag the iPhoto library icon onto the green (Time Machine?) icon on my desktop?
    ... if the LaCie has enough space this should be fine. You might run into problems later when TimeMachine starts to fill up your drive; iPhoto might start giving you errors if there isn't enough freespace.

  • Mac losses connection to the airport hard disk while the pc not !!!

    I have an airport extreme (802.11n), Macbook 13" and Powerbook G4 15". And two windows PCs. Every day the mac computers losses the connection to the hard disk that is connected to the airport, and asking for the password, but it fail. While the PCs at the same time having no problems at all. Everyday I have to reboot the airport to use the hard disk. This is strange the Apple product is more compatible with Microsoft windows that OS X !!!!
    Note: I have the first airport extreme (802.11n), not the gigabyte.

    I am also having this problem. If the PC is not connected, there are no problems sharing files off the drive, but as soon as I connect using Windows, the Macs drop their connection.
    The HDD is a 1TB Western Digital My Book. It is connected to the AirPort Extreme via USB.
    Thanks!

  • On my MacBook Pro, while using the windows side, I have no audio. Any suggestions

    On my MacBook Pro while using the Windows hard drive, I have no audio. The icon shows that I should (no mute insignia).  Any thoughts what I might do to correct?

    Whoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right.  I do  wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question.  The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control.  I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

    1) In 'ExFAT' format, is there a limitation on the file size?
    Not one that will matter.
    2) Is 'MAC OS Extended' format, only for MAC computers?
    Yes, only for Mac
    3) What are those (a) journaled (b) Encrypted & (c) Case-sensitive? or when to use those?
    Again, only for Mac.

    It is standard Mountain Lion error due to the networking ability which is comparable to wet string. (actually that was lion.. it dried out some with Mountain Lion.. higher in the hills perhaps!!)

    But many people are suffering the same issue..
    And the above is even a little out of date.. you might need to do a reset to the TC.

  • How do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    how do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
    Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.

    There are a few apps that are better.  I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.

  • I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive

    I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive - so what port would I use on the MacBook Pro 13" for the display monitor.  Thank you!

    This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
    You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have  Mac HFS.
    If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
    Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
    First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

    Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
    Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
