Which DVD drvies will fit into the Mac Pro?

I have two DVD drives from my PC that will not open and close in the mac pro due to the tray being about 1mm to low.
I have removed the front bezels off the drives but they are just a bit too low.
The drives are:
Sony dw-d18a and Sony dw-Q28a
Anyone know some drives that will fit?

The simplest is to match the OEM drives that Apple are using. I know that they use the Pioneer DVR-111D as well a Sony model. Just a search in these forms will give you a specific model.

  • Firewire cable not fitting into the Mac Pro Port

    Hi I've got a Sony video camera that's about 7 years, it uses Mini DV. I recently filmed my sister's College graduation that I wanted to view and transfer to my computer. I just purchased a fire wire cable to hook up the camcorder to my mac Pro. The cable fit's perfectly into the Video camera but not the Mac Pro. Did I purchase the wrong cable? It's a Belkin 6-pin to 4-pin Cable. This is the cable that I bought http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F3N401-06-ICE-4-Pin-6-Pin-FireWire/dp/B00005NIMR/re f=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1243482027&sr=8-1. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes - the cable you purchased is FW400, the new Mac Pro's use FW800.
    It does seem like a strange omission not to have at least one FW400 port...
    I have seen some adapter that hook onto the FW400 end, so that you can insert into a FW800. They do tend to be expensive in the area where I live.

  • Will the new iPad Mini with Retina Display fit into the older iPad Mini case?  (Will it be the same size?)

    I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini with Retina Display when it comes out this month.  I am curious to know whether it will fit into the older iPad Mini cases that are currently available.  I wasn't sure whether I should go ahead and buy a case, or if I should wait due to a size difference.  Thanks!

    The 'old' case will cover the rear microphone, but the new and currently sold iPad mini smart case has the cutout for the rear microphone. It can clearly be seen on mini Smart Case photo.
    I had a black mini SmartCase on order at the time I posted the above.  Although my mini-retina won't arrive for a couple of weeks the case arrived today.  I has the cutout for the rear microphone just as shown in the images on the Apple Store.

  • Will a Maxtor Maxline III SATA internal HD fit in a Mac Pro?

    Will an internal Maxtor Maxline Plus III SATA 250GB hard drive (Manufacturer's part 7L250S0) currently in my old G5 PPC fit in the Mac Pro I just ordered today?
    Thanks!

    Any SATA drive should work in a Mac Pro.

  • Can I take the old hard drive from a Mac Pro G5 and put it into a Mac Pro Dual Xeon?

    Hello,
    I have an old Mac Pro G5 that still runs fine but the video card is bad so you can't see anything. Can I take the hard drive out of the G5 and put it into the Mac Pro Xeon without losing the data on it?
    Thanks!

    Even if I go from the hard drive on the G5 to the next generation up from the G5 and put in that hard drive into that next generation up from the G5? Isn't the mounting nearly the same?
    The storage bays are physically different from those in a G5. G5's had two bays in ther upper reat of the chassis, the Mac Pros have four slots running front-to-rear two thirds of the way up the chassis.
    But as The Hatter says, you can use the G5 drives but may need to "manage" the data transfers.

  • Old SCSI card, will it function in Mac Pro?

    In my old G4 there is an old SCSI card that used for my old scanner connection under Classic with the G4. Before I drag out that G4, remove the card and install it in my Mac Pro, will someone offer an opinion if the card will function in the Mac Pro?

    No. Mac Pros require PCI-E cards. The one you have won't fit. Even if it did it probably would not work.

  • Can i use my G5 drive in the Mac Pro?

    Hi.
    I have a 2005 G5 with a western digital serial ata drive with all my audio on it.
    I also have an airport card which id like to put in the mac pro.
    Can i put them in my new mac pro which i should get in the next few days?
    Im not sure if there is a faster airport now and i should buy that?
    Cheers, Benji

    Sometimes it is okay, but in the end, you are much better off to clone the drive, erase format so it has a GUID partition scheme. Really.
    As for 4 yr old WD drive, keep it for an emergency boot drive or something. I'd say put it in USB/FW case but not everything is happy in FW land lately. Pick up some new SATA drives, they are more than 2x faster, and $100 for 1TB.

  • Mac Pro can access other Macs but those same Macs cannot access the Mac Pro

    Hello.
    I have a highly annoying problem that goes as follows:
    My (home) network consists of:
    - 1 Mac Pro (e2008 - 10.5.6)
    - 1 iMac (2008 - 10.5.6)
    - 1 MacMini (2004 - 10.4.??)
    - 1 MacBook Air (2008 - 10.5.6)
    The internet connection is alive and well with no drops not that it truely matters here.
    The setup is as follows:
    - Linksys AM300 in half bridge mode connects to the
    - Apple Airport Extreme Base station from which 1 cat6 cable runs to the
    - Mac Pro
    The other Macs connected to the Airport Extreme wirelessly.
    The Mac Pro has its network settings setup correctly (in fact it used to work fine but then just stopped working) and I have also disabled all network settings, rebooted and reapplied the settings to no effect.
    To clarify:
    I (Mac Pro) can connect to all Macs in the network but all those macs can see me but not connect to me. Connecting via the Finder simply says "Connection Failed" and if I open the "Connect to server.." and enter the IP address of the Mac Pro it results in an error/failed connection also.
    Any ideas to fix this would be highly appreciated.
    PS: As of now, 19/03/2009, I have all software updates installed on all macs in the network.

    Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
    Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
    Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.

  • Can I put my iMac HD into my Mac Pro?

    I recently purchased a new 1 TB drive for my Late 2006 iMac, installed lion and transferred all my data from an older computer.  I just recently was given a Mac Pro Early 2009 unit with only 640 GB in there.  I'd like to use my new 1TB as it is compatible with the Mac Pro, and I was wondering if I could remove the 1 TB drive from the iMac and merely install into the Mac Pro as the primary drive with the OS?  The goal being to not have to reinstall everything on a new drive in the Mac Pro, and then run a migration of over 400 GB.  Would this work, what are my risks? 
    If this would work, I'd just wipe the 640 GB and put in the second slot and use for additional storage or backup. 

    All SATA 3.5 in form-factor drives are compatible, and SATA 2.5 in drives can be used with an adapter for proper mounting.
    The Mac Pro, with its multiple drive bays, can get a big performance boost by establishing a "Boot Drive". This is a drive with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files for paging/swap. User files are moved off to a data-only drive or drives, and only the Admin account used for actual administration (not daily use) is left on the boot drive for emergencies. You may want to think about transitioning to a Boot Drive setup in the future.

  • What size hard drive will fit into a 2010 Mac mini?

    Hello all,
    I am planning to buy a new Mac mini. However I intend to upgrade the hard drive, i.e. buy a 320GB Mac Mini then remove the hard drive and replace it with a better one.
    I have my eyes on two Western Digital hard drives:
    + WD Scorpio Black 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (WD7500BPKT)
    specs: http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=905&language=1
    + WD Scorpio Blue 1 TB SATA Hard Drive (WD10TPVT)
    specs: http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=685&language=1
    Here's the problem. I figured that being both SATA 2.5" drives, they would have the same dimensions. It's not the case:
    + my preferred choice, the Scorpio Black (with faster 7200rpm) has a height of 9.5mm
    + the Scorpio blue (1TB but 5200rpm, slower than the default drive) has a height of 12.5mm
    So I wonder, which of them would fit in the mini? Both of them? Afer hours looking for it, I couldn't find the exact specs and dimensions of the default drive in the Mac mini.
    Questions this arises: if the Scorpio Blue fits in, then will the Black be loose because it's thinner?
    I just went to my local Apple retail store, the flagship Opera store in Paris. I asked two Geniuses there and neither of them was able to answer my question, including the so-called hardware expert (duh!). They just told me "good question", and advised me to be careful with dimensions indeed because there is so little room in the mini...
    Has any of you guys any clue on the subject?
    + any idea of the size/specs of the default drive?
    + any idea of what size drive would fit? Does the new disk have to be the exact same size or not?
    FYI I checked the specs of the mini they had on display, and the disk reference is TOSHIBA MK3255GSXF. It looks like a specific ref number for these Apple drives.
    Thanks!

    6 MONTHS LATER/UPDATE.
    I got the the Seagate Momentus® XT 6Gb/s 750GB Solid State Hybrid Hard Drive. Was able to install it myself in the Mac mini; it works great! (now).
    My original 350GB was near full and taking almost 5-minutes to load.
    Now my computer boots up in under one minute. Big difference!
    Apps also snap open quickly, all functions fast and with 8GB of Ram using my computer is fun again.
    Note: Initially I just made a clone of my old HD to the Seagate before taking my old HD out. This did make a bootable volume but funky and eventually the mouse clicks took 4-5 minutes to work!?
    So I wiped the Seagate clean, did a new/fresh install of my Mac OS onto it and then used the Apple Migration Assistant app to get all my apps and data over - This worked and no funky stuff developed.
    It's the best change to my computer in years. Feels great...and besides the features of the fusion-sytle hybrid drive (SSD & regular) I got 450GB of new, extra space...now I can put my work aside for awhile and try out one of these 12GB games!. Rock on.
    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: patience, patience, patience and instructional video at OWC; yet the insides were different, an extra plastic 'cage' around the HD. Just be careful & alert.

    How do I stream the dvd's I insert into my mac on my apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your Mac meets the specifications for airplay mirroring, then you can play your DVDs but you will have to use a program such as VLC.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

  • Is there a way to modify Incase Mini Car Charger so it will fit into iPhone 5s in a case?

    I should have read the reviews in the Apple Store before buying the Incase Mini Car Charger before I bought it: the material around the lightning connector is much thicker than that in the Apple cable (which broke after not much use) and won't fit into the 5s with the case I have on the phone. Is there a way to "shave" the rubbery material to make this work?

    dumdidadida: Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address the problem. HSTS is designed to FORCE the use of https, this is a good thing in most cases. However, HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
    torprojec.org is just an example, this effects every HSTS site. You can reproduce this problem yourself in version 17 or later if you temporary disable "DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA" in your certificate store and then visit torproject.org. You will notice the ability to add exceptions has been removed and that the cert_override.txt file found in the user's profile is also ignored.
