Which cable will allow me to connect my late 2011 Mac Pro to my LCD tv?
What cable should I buy so I can see my computer screen on my tv?
I bought this Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HMDI adapter from Monoprice - less than $7. You'll need to buy a HDMI cable of the right length - I also bought a high-quality HDMI 15" cable from Monoprice.
I, too have a late 2011 model. It works great - I just don't use it any longer since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display.
Good luck,
Clinton

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?
lllaass is correct.
To use ThunderBolt devices, a computer must have left the factory with a ThunderBolt port.
There are no known work-arounds, and there are not likely to be any because Intel controls the chips and is not interested in anything less than the full [including Video features] implementation. -
Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?
You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked. -
I want to use the VIZIO large-screen TV mounted on the wall of my classroom to mirror the screen on my new MacBook Pro.
I am already mirroring my iPad 2 with GREAT results using AppleTV. Using the HD Note Taker App is a dream.
Graphing calculator apps are brilliant, too. ( I teach Precalculus and AP Calculus)
But now I need to be able to do new things that cannot be done on the iPad. What cables and/or adaptors do I need so that the
flat-screen TV becomes a another monitor?You need a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.

When you first connect, it will default to "extended desktop mode". To mirror, press CMD F1 or set mirror mode in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab

From the pictures I found, there should be two ports on the back - a firewire 400 and a serial port. But I'm not clear how many variations of this duet there may actually have been (there is also a duet 2 I saw, but that is clearly distinct from the duet).
If your ports look like that, regardless of the cable, that port on the right is a standard firewire 400 port. The one on the left looks like a standard serial port to me.
So it seems to me a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable - http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/belkin-firewire-800400-9-pin6-pin-ca ble-2-m66-ft coupled with a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter should work for you - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r?fnode=51
They actually have those at the stores usually, so you could take the duet to an Apple store, tell them what you believe you need, and then make sure with them before you actually buy anything. -
which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?
I totally understand.
Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.
http://eshop.macsales.com/search/elite+pro
You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576 Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
Quick delivery and willing to help.
Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
All the best -
“Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?”
To connect both iMacs, you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter, and a FireWire 400 cable, so you will be able to connect both Macs

HT5299 which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?
which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv? The port's on the side have changed from my previous Mac. Thank you.
If you have a retina MBP use a HDMI to HDMI cable.
If you have a non retina MBP, use a minidisplay port to HDMI cable. Insert the minidisplay end in the Thunderbolt port.

Will late 2013 Mac Pro boot from MacBook Pro (8,1)?
I have a MacBook Pro which (until the delivery of my new 16 gb RAM Mac Pro) has been my main machine. When it comes I'd like to put my MBkP into Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode and use my Mac Pro as the CPU (et al) for my work. (In this way I'll have the portability of my MBkP when needed and the speed of the Mac Pro when in the office without having to change / keep track of files, etc.) I have an Dell monitor which I'll connect to via Thunderbolt to DVI as I do now from the MBkP. My MBkP has all the latest updates (eg: Sys 10.9.1 and all other updates).
My question: will this work? Or does the Mac Pro have some minimum system / hardware requirements which won't allow't to boot from the MBkP?
I await your helps with gratitude....
MBkP Model Info:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz

<Personal Information Edited By Host>Think that is odd, until there is a new unified OS build for everyone, with new hardware like these there will be new builds every couple of weeks usually. 10.9.0 was long before they were ready for more than testing.
The Mac Pro 2010 went through that, even the 1,1 2006 had about three different builds before a new update for OS X existed.
OEM builds really are just that and not suitable the way retail is. I don't know how they manage pushing updates out now that it is through the App Store other than those are suitable for multiple Macs. ie, IF I have a new nMP sitting here and I 'goof' and need to reinstall the OS and I was negligant in making a backup with T.M. or a clone, and I have to do a net-install (no Mac Pro up till now had the feature) what build gets pushed to download for me? I would hope of course it is the build I had or later but until 9.2 is out...
Which is long winded way of saying, before you make changes, before you do like someone else did couple days ago and migrate from an older MacBook Pro - and carried over out of date and incompatible versions, and even drivers no one wants to see - make sure you have a double backup safety net. -
Hello all,
I ordered a CTO Mac Pro for heavy rendering and animating work, and I am planning on using bootcamp to install a windows partition (for 3DsMax). As I am now using a HP Elitebook 8770W that has several valuable files and projects on it, I have bought a Seagate 4Tb external Desktop Drive that uses USB 3.0 to use as a backup drive. Now, as I saw that Bootcamp Assistant only supports installing a x64 version of Windows 8, my question is:
Will a late 2013 Mac Pro using bootcamp assistant boot from an external USB drive with a cloned partition running x64 win7? Or do I really have to buy Windows 8 and install that to my internal SSD, and then use the migration assistant to copy over my projects?
Thanks!Posted? or found in new builds?
BCA should really just pull whatever the latest drivers are when run.
If it is with how it partitions and sets up nMP and its partition for Windows that is another matter and makes sense.
Some people want UEFI native booting in Windows, and my experieince with that on PCs has been that it boots faster and runs well, but has different partitions that it wants. For one thing, there is now a backup "system reserved" partition, just as Apple GUID has some volume information blocks and backup and areas that were once optional (and if format erase was not able to, it would not create one) are now mandatory.
Windows 8.1 is req'd, reason a backup should be a big must - is it might overwrite and use another OS's partition table entries. Especially when doing UEFI install.
There was something about which linux OS was safe and how they would each add entries in the table, but one would not place nice. That one had to be done first or not at all. -
hello ....
my connection problem on my mac pro is :
that when i try to open a website on safari .... it delays ... and takes more than 30 seconds to open completely ...
but when i move the mac pro to another location ... its internet opening speeds up ....
also in one room ... web opening delays .... but on other rooms it is normal
so what can i do to solve this problem ....
Note : also when i hold it up and move in the same room ... the speed changes and somewhere speed up ... and in another location speed down ..
thanks for you all ...
Waiting for your support ... as quick as possible ...WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

Hi - my 2011 Mac Pro no longer recognizes devices in the usb ports, I've been told it's the logic board. is there a way I can connect the iomega external hard drive to it through the firewire or thunderbolt ports?

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing? -
Late 2011 Macbook Pro Restarts When Power Connected
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, 2.2 GHz with 8GB Ram with OS X 10.8.2 and a series of unfortunate events.
When I connect the magsafe adapter to the computer, after it has been shut down completely overnight, with the lid closed, the Macbook attempts to restart. The restart fails beause the lid is closed but leaves my Macbook in an unstable state. Unless I do a PRAM reset whenever this happens, I will have at least one random shutdown, usually within the first half hour of use after the computer restarts itself. I have also reset the SMC controller, checked the hard drive for errors and tested the memory. I have been careful to make sure that the computer shuts all of the way down before closing the lid and disconnecting power. As far as I can tell at this point, starting the computer on battery, and subsequently connecting the magsafe adapter, does not cause any problems.
I never saw this behavior until I installed Mountain Lion.Run an Apple hardware test and see if that picks up any problems. If this phenomenon is consistently repeatable, I recommend taking it to a repair facility for a diagnosis. This clearly is not normal operation. I hope that you might be still in the warrantee period.

Late 2013 Mac Pro wake from sleep crashes - which logs to look at?
I started encountering wake-from-sleep crashes with my late 2013 Mac Pro a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that the system had been pretty solid. Other than app and OS updates installed from the App Store, I can't think of any software changes that might be responsible.
What logs should I be looking for that could be helpful in diagnosing the problem? Looking at other posts where people have been trying to diagnose similar issues I see people posting portions of panic logs that show which modules were loaded and might help point to a culprit, but I can't seem to find a log with a panic message in it.
I had thought I'd determined my Anker USB3 powered-hub was related to the crashes, as when I disconnected it from my system I went several days without a crash. Today I reconnected the hub with just a few devices on it and got a crash. I disconnected the devices but left the hub attached but got another crash. I then disconnected the hub again, assuming I'd proved it was the culprit, but the machine has now crashed twice without the hub attached.
I'm running OS 10.9.4. Looking at other reports people reported some specific programs that added kernel extensions that were suspected to be the problem, but I don't have any of those programs installed on my Mac. The problem doesn't happen every time I wake the machine, but has happened at least four times today alone (after about three days of no crashes.)These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
