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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When is the Mac Pro due for new chips?

    Doesn't Intel have 8 cores? Newer FSB (very important).
    As I contemplate a new MAC PRO, am wondering when we can expect a new MAC PRO and what the chips should be like (any ideas?), faster speed, faser FSB, more cores, 16 core Mac Pro for same price as current mac pro.
    Also read that ZDNET released software for Mac Pro where it benchmarked a 2.8 over clocked that beat a 3.2 by quite a lot. That's very good news as these chips run cool anyway and newer future chips should be even cooler which in theory could mean 8 cores running 4.2 and faster.
    Last, while a good deal, how strong for rendering (or is it a plain 3/4th slower, is a 3.0 dual core iMac compare to MacPro? With the glossy though, wouldn't that make color correction hard to work with or can you calibrate?
    Been a tough few months. Please pray for some new work.
    Thanks guys and gals.

    Hi Hi I'm A Mac;
    Probably the day after you buy one, they will come out with one that has all of that.
    Seriously, no one here will be able to answer that question for you.

  • When the new Mac Pro's with E5 Processor coming out? Please help

    Hello People.
    I am in desperate situation at the moment. I had a late 2008 Mac pro which i recently sold and bought the new 8core 2.4ghz Mac pro from best buy about a week ago. As soon as i bought it, i found out that Apple is coming out with a new Mac Pro loaded with the new xeon E5 processor. My question is that when Apple is coming out with the computer since the rumor said its coming out in the beginning of March. I paid $3400 for the new computer and i really want the one which has all the new stuff in it. I have about 2 weeks left to return the computer to Best Buy and at the moment don't know what do.
    Does anyone has answer to my question?
    Thanks

    Seeing no one, not WSJ or ComputerWorld or CNBC, just speculation. For all we know it will be another mid-Summer too..
    I do think the 2.4 8-core is a ''weak' system choice. More apps and more productive to go with a higher clocked 6-core or something.
    I'd direct attention to www.macperformanceguide.com that argues, if you need it don't postpone for what might be.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120319_1-MacProNowOrWait.html
    Even if there was an annoucement it often takes time to sort out, ship, etc.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Why the mouse ( any kind ) halts for 5 mins every time when I start Mac Pro

    As soon as I start my Mac Pro, the apple logo appears abnormally long. When it finally comes into the system, the mouse icon moves but I cannot click into any of the desktop icons.
    I have reformated my harddisk, but the problem still appears. Does any one know how to fix my problem?
    thank you

    Normally I would say a combination of *Disk Warrior* and SuperDuper to solve the issue, and look for any/all (bad) usb cables and devices (hubs and printers too).
    Don't import your old prefs etc and keep it clean while you test and look for why.
    But normally a long logo 'gear' etc = corrupt caches or disk directory.

  • How can I enable self capitalization of the pronoun "I" when using my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to see how to enable self-capitalization for the pronoun "I".  This would be helpful when starting a sentence and/or when using the pronoun within a sentence. I tried system preferences and substitutions, but that will only work with words that have more than one character.  HELP!!! Thanks!

    Go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Text. Click the "+" sign on the lower left part of the screen. Add the auto correction so when you press "i", the OS automatically changes it to "I".
