Why is one slot saying 2.5gt/s and the other 5.0gt/s?

Hello,
I have a 2008 mac pro with 3.0 Ghz Harpertown processors. I thought these 2008 mac pros had two PCIe 2.0 slots, but yet according to my system profiler.. one slot is reporting at 5.0 and the other is 2.5 - what gives?
ATI Radeon HD 4870:
Name: ATY,MotmotParent
Type: ATY,MotmotParent
Driver Installed: No
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-1
Vendor ID: 0x1002
Device ID: 0xaa30
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1682
Subsystem ID: 0xaa30
Revision ID: 0x0000
Link Width: x16
Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s
ATI Radeon HD 2600:
Name: ATY,Lamna
Type: display
Driver Installed: Yes
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-2
Vendor ID: 0x1002
Device ID: 0x9588
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
Subsystem ID: 0x00a6
Revision ID: 0x0000
Link Width: x16
Link Speed: 5.0 GT/s
Shouldn't both slot 1 and 2 be PCIe 2.0?? Why is one being reported as 1.1 and the other is being reported as 2.0? Is there something wrong with my PCIe slot?? I am saddened to hear this as I traded up my 2006 mac pro and now I see that i am not getting 2 x PCIe 2.0 slots as reported.

DpArt,
Are you sure that is what the problem is? When I get home from work tonite, I will try to swap the cards and see. Originally, my harpertown mac shipped with the ATI Radeon 2600 XT, a very mediocre card and its in slot 2 reporting 5.0, while the ATI Radeon 4870 is a 1GB slightly overclocked(applemacanix) flashed card and its in slot 1 reported as 2.5 which I am hoping that this is an oversight and not a mechanical failure or problem with my pcie slot.

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

    Two external hard drive are not appearing on the desktop anymore on my 2008 24" iMac. One is a Lacie d2 Quadra and the other is a G Drive. Both are 1 Tb

    Are they daisy chained? Have you tried them one at a time? Have you tried a different FireWire cable? Do they show up in either system profiler or Disk Utility? Have you reset the SMC? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Can I partition a hard drive so that one partition is for windows files and the other is for time machine backups?

    I have a 1TB WD passport that currently contains windows files e.g photos, documents, etc. Can I partition it so that one partition contains these files and the other partition is used for time machine backups? Also, how do I change the partition system on the hard drive so that it uses the GUID partition system?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can, though you need to format and partition the drive from the scratch.
    1) back up your PC data on other drive.
    2) partitioning your drive into 2 partitions with Disk Utility.
    3) format one partition by Mac OS extended (journaling) for Time Machine, the other by exFAT for PC data.
    4) restore PC data on exFAT partitioned drive.

  • I am setting up a time machine backup to a external Hard drive.  I want to backup by Mac book Pro running OSX 10.8.5. I would like to Partition the disk and use one partition for Time machine backups and the other for my Lightroom backups. How to do this?

    I want to create a two partition disk. One partition for time machine, the other for Lightroom backup. Currently Time Machine is using the entire drive and it is doing the intial encryption and is about 29% complete after two days.  I've decided that I want to turn encryption off and partition the disk. So I do I start over?

    With the external drive attached, open Finder>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility.  Select the external drive from the list in the left side panel of the DU window.  In the main window panel, click Partition in the buttons top center of that panel.
    Select the number of partitions you want and adjust their sizes.
    For the first partition, click to highlight the partition, then select the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then the partition table as GUID [both of those are the defaults].  Click Apply and it will ask to confirm and erase and format that partion...oh, give the partition a name, like Backup. 
    Then repeat those steps for the second partition..and remember to name it...something like Lightroom.
    Close Disk Utilitty and you are ready to send TM to the one partition, and do your backup of Lightroom to the second partition.

  • On VMM managed cluster hosts, I can't figure out why most of my hosts answer port 5900 and the others 2179, but not both

    Below, you see a netcat list of my hosts.  Most are answering port 5900, but not 2179.  The list on the bottom is answering 2179, but not 5900.  I need to know for 3 reason why this is, (1) to setup our enterprise firewall, (2) for port health
    monitoring of our hosts, and (3) just what is going on.  I thought that 2179 should be open on all hosts, and that 5900 was only used in legacy cases (at least from what I read from googling around).  Why aren't all of my hosts answering 2179?
    My hosts are all Server 2008 R2 Datacenter SP1 64-bit.  We have a mix of VMs with Server 2008 R2, Win7, and RHEL6, all 64-bit.

    Brian,
    This is specifically related to Hyper-V hosts, where the following ports may be used by the VMM to communicate to each host:
    VMConnect (RDP) to Hyper-V hosts 2179
    VMRC connection to Virtual Server host 5900
    These ports are outlined here...
    technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc764268.aspx
    I am not running independent VNC servers on my hosts.  They are VMRC ports.  My confusion is why some of my hosts are only answering 2179, while the others are only answering 5900, but not both ports on all hosts (or for that matter just 2179 on
    all hosts).

  • Recorded 2 consecutive shows, one went to my External Drive and the other to the DVR any clues?

    I recorded the Hatfield and McCoy programs the one which recorded @ 10pm went to the external drive and the one recorded right after at 12am went to the DVR.  This just started around May 9th.  We have done the Auto-Correct for our DVR and that has not solved the problem.

    Are other shows recording to the internal hard drive as well? Once your show has recorded to either the internal or external drive, there's no way to move it to the other. So now that its recorded that way, its set. Please check newer recording to see if they are recording to the internal drive. It should only be recording to the internal drive if the external drive is full or the DVR is having problems.

  • I am having a probelem with one website saying it is unsecure and untrusted.Other people are not getting same message.I have tried everything.

    Hi there.
    I am having constant problems when trying to connect to www.pretty green.com.When going to check out it is telling me that the site is unsognes,unsecure and doesn't use encryption.Other people are not seeing this message.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling firefox to disabling ad ons etc.
    The website also say it is secure.
    Why will firefox not let me connect to it and why could it be showing as unsecure?
    Than you.

    Thank you for the updates. Since the server seems to be set up correctly, the '''sec_error_unknown_issuer''' could indicate that your connection to the server is being intercepted.
    One common reason for this is that you use software like avast! 2015, Kaspersky, ESET, or BitDefender that has a feature of scanning your web traffic for threats. Firefox might not be set up to work with that software. If this is the case, when you view the site's certificate in the Add Exception dialog or in another browser, it usually will say it was issued by your security software provider.
    Another possible reason is a hijacked connection or malware.
    To try to sort this out, on the error page, do you see a section at the bottom which says "I understand the risks" with an Add Exception button? If so, click Add Exception and then click "View" to view the certificate. You don't need to actually add an exception, it's better that you don't, but this is a way to see the certificate.
    If you check the "Issued by" section, what do you see there? I have attached what I see in Firefox 37 for comparison. Also, does the certificate path (chain of trust) on the Details tab look like the attached?
    If you can't use Add Exception for this, you can click the padlock in the address bar in a different browser and use its certificate viewer.

  • We have 2 iPhones and two iPads, we what to sync one phone and one iPad to an iTunes account and the other iPad and iPhone to a different iTunes account, but it keeps trying to sync the first accounts music, apps etc. We are using the one (only) computer.

    My wife and I have an iPhone 3GS and and new iPad 2 each and we also have separate iTunes accounts.
    We have only one computer and whilst I have no problem syncing the computer and my iPhone and iPad, I now need  to sync my wife's phone and iPad but for some reason even when we sign into her iTunes account iTunes wants to sync my content to her devices.
    Please could someone confirm how we can avoid this and ensure our content is kept separate and distinct
    Thanks in anticipation

  • I have two Win 7 PCs running iTunes 10.7.0.21 one is a 64 bit maching and the other is a 32 bit.  I can see the Air Play on both and can see the AE speakers, however, for some reason I can not select any speakers except the PC speakers on the 32 bit PC.

    This problem only started after I updated iTunes to version 10.7.0.21.  Never had a problem with the AE speakers until now.  Funny no problem on my 64 bit PC only the 32 bit one.

    If you are running win 7, i had this problem come up when i updated my itunes 10.7, btw it now runs like a dog, on slighty older hardware in win 7, hopefully version 11 fixes this!!!!!!
    Go here, apparently firewall settings for itunes can be reset, so you need to add back in udp access, and change it to public.

  • I bought an ablum and one song didnt download at all and the other downloaded partially. How do i redownload them for free?

    I downloaded the album Believe and one song did not download and another song only half way downloaded.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I have one 120GB SSD and one 1TB SSHD, how do do I make one of them my boot drive and the other my data drive?

    I'm currently upgrading my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13", I've purchased some new RAM and also a 120GB SSD and a 1TB SSHD (Hybrid SSD and HD) with the intention of using an OWC data doubler to get rid of my dvd drive and place the SSD drive there instead. So after I've placed everything into the Mac, how do I make the SSD my boot drive with the OS on it and everything, and the SSHD where all my data (music, photos etc) are stored?

    Youll need to CLONE your internal HD to your target (temporarily) external drive.
    1. grab carbon copy cloner or (my fave) superDuper CLONE app.
    2. attach target clone drive via USB in an enclosure or HD dock. Firstly format the target (external new) HD in disk utility in “Mac OS extended journaled”
    3. clone internal HD to target HD (external)   [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
    4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
    5. open bottom (see videos on ifixit or youtube on same) and remove old, install new.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Hard+ Drive/10378/1
    Done
    (FIRST TIME after installing,  boot will be SLOW,...normal and ignore that).
    Clone APPS
    Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

  • Can I partition my external hard drive so that one partition is for Time Machine and the other is to install Windows with Boot Camp?

    I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive that I currently use just for Time Machine backups.  Is it possible for me to go into Disk Utility and create a new partition on the drive so that I may install Windows 7 via Boot Camp? Or since I am already using it for Time Machine do I have to keep it only for Time Machine?

    You must install Boot Camp in your internal drive because Windows can't be installed in an external disk and Boot Camp can't do that
