• Is it worth to replace a macbook pro with an old mac pro?

  I have a 13 "macbook pro mid 2012, core i5 2.5 ghz and 4 GB of RAM

  I plan to replace an old mac pro with intel xeon 3 GHz dual core or quad (maybe from 2009 or 2010) and slowly upgrade by adding more RAM, sound card, and video, etc. (I won't change the logic board)

  Computer will be used for the games, but especially for a music with logic studio Pro X (requires OS X El Capitan)

  It's worth?

  OK, now you have 2013MBP 13 inches, and you said topic you will use the computer to do some professional work as a music studio (btw, I somehow like music studio, but I could can't work on that to this life) and games.

  and now your account to replace it with a Mac Pro, which is a desktop computer, I have to say that they are in any other product, and you are already thinking on this subject, which means that you don't have to wear it around right? So, personally, I recommend the CHANGE! There?

  as you say you only have two choices, keep the macbook pro 13 "or replace with the older generation of the Mac Pro, I would say 13-inch MacBook Pro can almost do anything even the latest generation! since low-votage and integrated dual-core process just crappy graph, I don't really think its meet your needs (Audio Studio, game)

  So for you its might be interesting to replace it, but you may need to do the following to make the old gen Mac Pro more "usable".

  -Add the Ram, I remember its only accepts DDR2 ram (I think, not really sure, I have never had one of that), but get at least 16 GB of this and will be allowed to use the same sound only DDR2, you need measure the cost dedicated to Rams

  -Add the USB3.0 card. I didn't say more on this right? USB2 is somehow too crappy for now, if you need measure the cost of the USB3.0 card.

  -Probably to replace the hard drive, its massively improve loading speed if you have a fusion drive or an SSD, its depends on your own needs, if you want to do, then you need measure the cost of training you want to buy.

  -Replace the graphics card, its origin have something called AMD X 3100 or wat, really, remember its all just too old even glance at her age. and return at the time its totally new, it is not the series of cards that have the intention of game. According to the info you provided, you have need a map rendering and 3D design professional, but a card game, then you may need to replace it with more recently built AMD or Nvidia graphics card in game, try watching the series Geforce and Rasomething. and theres something that should be mentioned is the old Mac Pro motherboard, is somewhat different with PC on hardware support, so that the graphics card must take in charge the Mac EFI boot or something else. I do not see the HD7970 and the GTX7? 0 mac edition, which works perfectly after replacement, but also of boys randomly announcement that they got the PC normal edition of some cards and put it on the Mac Pro, its can't stand not EFI of Mac Pro type so that they can not see a shit only on the screen while the Startup logo should show, but once finished go , its works perfectly. That's what I've heard, I'm bloody tired and sleepy now (PLUS8 GMT) hope so I made an explanation clear outta giant paragraph. But anyway, because they have tested PC edition graphics card also works on Mac, theres a huge amount of graphics card, you can buy and before you buy, if your not sure if this does not work on Mac, just borrow one of it and test it just outside, or directly, so search for Mac guaranteed Mac-compatitable by manufacturing , you need measure the cost of this.

  -Possibly a map HiFi sound taking in charge waves and digital output since your doing audio studio, the price increases a breakfast unique price you can buy a car outta that, then choose the one you want and measure the cost.

  -the processor might be still allowed to use and the current level of normal performance, so you can just keep it, but if you want to update, of course, a position which cost.

  -The time you go to research / purchase parts/physically change/test this baby. as goes XD.

  That's essentially all you need to do if you decide to replace your MacBook Pro 13 "with the Mac Pro, the major concern is the cost of parts, other that neither that complex, just to the top, find open port, insertion/replacement material, FACT, USB3 card possible to require a driver, but all you have to do is click NEXT.

  OK, good luck pal and if you blow up your House all by improving the Mac Pro, don't tell anyone I gave you these suggestions ok? XDXD

  Scanning does not work with preview or Capture of Image or the HP-Scan utility. Overview analysis always selects a portion of the A4 page even when the option is not checked. Is this a bug in the driver, or is there a workaround?

  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)

  Now run a software update.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• El Capitan with old Mac Pro update

  I have an Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 2012 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I am reluctant to give up the thing because I have 4 Bay SATA I can use to easily swap drives.

  Running the latest version of Yosemite, the computer may appear VERY slow, especially when a background (backups, indexing of Spotlight) task are underway.  Clean caches helps some, for a while, then it gets pretty slow again.

  Can anyone share some thoughts on what upgrade to El Capitan might do? I had read that it is largely an improvement in the performance of Yosemite, it seems as if it might give me a boost in performance. However, each successive OS update saw things slow further.

  Then, add more RAM would help things?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  If Yosemite is slow, then you must fix before attempting to upgrade. Make a backup or your system, then wipe the drive and install a new copy of Yosemite or El Capitan.

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it. Upgrade directly to El Capitan.

• Which printer works with 10.6.8, snow leopard and more advanced:

  What printer will work well with system 10.6.8 v.1.1 and leave like lion, mountain lion, Yosemite and same El capitan? Work on snow leopard and have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010 and that works very well. Would I be able to upgrade to El capitan? Received a message a while back from Apple to install makes me believe it's possible. And no problem, the upgrade to all the other intermediate systems mentioned? Have been looking online for a reliable site for printer, but have not found a definitive.

  Please take a look at...

  https://www.Apple.com/OSX/how-to-upgrade/#hardware-requirements

  Who should you help to see if your model is supported & see what features it supports.

  Have you already 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 purchased in your Mac App store account? Apple has removed these from the store so you can't buy more. You can download them only as a "purchase".

  You don't need them if your Mac can run 10.11, you can ignore the versions if you wish. Backup before you apply any update - just in case where do multiple backups

  What about the printer - I don't know, sorry, you need to wait for others to answer or try Google, etc.

• PCI cards with USB 3.0 or eSATA for a Mac Pro 2006 (1,1)

  Hello, Apple people!

  I got my hands on a Mac Pro 2006 earlier from a friend. I used it as a BESTIAL Server (seriously, this thing is not so much as breaking a sweat even when I throw it the more difficult task.) I love this machine) since I got it, and I think I want to do the updates. My plan so far is to get multiple mounting OWC to pick up the second drive Bay currently vacant DVD and install two 120 GB Samsung 850 EVO drives in RAID 0, while using the real HARD disk bays for a RAID 10 array (nested RAID: two RAID 1 arrays brought together in a RAID 0 array) of four 2 TB red WD drives and use two 250 GB hard drives currently in the machine in an external case in a matrix RAID 1 for backup. I'm pretty happy on this issue.

  My question concerns what interface to use for external drives of 250 GB. I can use:

  • USB 2.0 currently on the machine
  • FireWire 800 currently on the machine
  • a PCIe USB 3.0 card
  • a PCIe card with eSATA

  That we will get the faster speeds? I know that, theoretically, eSATA would get faster speeds (6 Gbps eSATA vs 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 vs 800 Mbps, Firewire 800 vs 480 Mbps USB 2.0), however I know also (maybe?) that the Mac Pro I have only has grooves in v PCIe 1.1, with a (supposed) 250 MB/s maximum data transfer rate. would this bottleneck a PCIe USB 3.0 or eSATA card not worth?

  Note: don't worry all "Mac compatibility" with PCIe cards (or the table RAID scheme I mentioned). I am running Ubuntu Server (64 bit) on the machine, and given that the Linux kernel supports much more conductive than Mac OS X, I probably don't need to look at all the other drivers. This issue is specific to the hardware capabilities of the Mac Pro.

  Probably the most simple installation, you can do is to install the eSATA extender cable adapter.

• Help with Ram & graphics (old mac pro)

  Hello!

  I am in need of help on my "old" gen mac pro 8-core xeon 5500 3rd (early 2009).

  I just upgraded it to El Captain 10.11.6 and everything is working quite well.

  I want to upgrade the RAM 16 GB and change the video card to something more recent with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  This mac was sitting in a corner for a while due to a recent move to London and I chose to give it a try and continue to use it.
  At the moment, I have the following configuration:

  I went to the apple store in Covent Garden, here in London and they told me to check the site of Crucial that ram that I buy using their tool to find the exact model, I need.

  Well... I did... and the Web page does not suggest me any RAM, only SSDS.

  

  I tried the same tool on other Mac I (iMac and macbook pro) and it worked.

  So, my fear is that they (crucial) have no RAM in stock for my specific model.

  Do you know what version should I buy and where? (amazon?)

  The same is for the video card, I want to upgrade to another card with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  The mac will be used mainly as Adobe Creative station for Photoshop / Lightroom / InDesign.

  Thank you in advance and I really hope you can help me. (even the guy from the apple store told me to ask here...)

  Tip: Mac cards replacement Graphics Pro money Tour (2006-2012)

  Since it seems that you have a working graphics card you can buy a PC graphics card since those who are less expensive than a Mac of the card. The problem with PC cards is the show they just something on the screen after loading drivers that is right in front of the login screen. For example, you may not use special startups like recovery, boot screen Manager since there is no indication on the screen.

• With the help of a big screen on mac pro 2006

  I have a 2006 (original) mac pro with 3 GB of ram and nvidia 7300gt graphics card. I use it for design on photoshop and illustrator. However, its screen 20 '' (aluminum Apple Cinema Display) is not big enough to see everything in one piece. "

  I plan to get a larger screen (27 "or 34"), but Im worried if my gpu can handle them.

  Should I expect somehow a better gpu? Or can I find and buy cinema display of 34 "this time? Both are very hard to find.

  There are recommendations that you could do?

  Thank you.

  The size of the screen diagonal is not relevant.

  Your current graphics card can support a screen up to 2560 x 1600 pixels on its dual-Link DVI port and an additional display up to 1920 x 1200 pixels on its DVI port to single bond.

• Not good at El Capitan Snow Leopard: which goes back?

  Well, I'm in trouble, I think. I have improved my Early 2008 iMac (2.4 Ghz 4 GB ram) machine of 10.6 Snow Leopard to El Capitan (reason: so I could save my new iPhone6s - was not recognized in iTunes in 10.6). What is OS El Capitan somewhere cool, but oh oh oh how it slowed the computer. I am a photographer running Adobe LIghtroom, and sometimes the computer literally stops responding. I need to keep my iPhone saved, so I plan to go back in the OS to one of the following:

  OS X 10,10 "Yosemite", 10.9 "Mavericks" 10.8 "Mountain Lion", 10.7 "Lion"

  It would be great to go back just to one of these, but the #1 problem is that I have never owned one any of them. I went directly to El Capitan in Snow Leopard.

  The next option I guess would be back to 10.6 SL and then upgrade from there. #2 problem is that I already have a SuperDuper! backup my iMac to El Capitan running. I have no copy, what her backup or system disks, with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard for my 2008 iMac. (I have 10.4 Tiger which was for an iMac PowerPC G5 and 10.6 who was for my MacBook Pro 2010. "I am sure that these are useless for my 2008 iMac).

  Should which way I follow to get to one of these operating systems? I would like to buy a new computer, but I would like to find a solution to give at the moment. Should I go buy a system for one of the OS disk, I want somewhere?

  The next question, I've seen a few discussions, is that OS would reasonably execute such as Snow Leopard, but also let my iPhone6s to be recognized in iTunes?

  Thanks for reading.

  Looks like you need to do some third party editing software, because 10.11 works very well on this iMac.

  You could also try to replace one of the modules of 2 GB with a 4GB module and run with 6 GB to see if that helps.

• My 1st generation iPod touch can not save on my iMac El Capitan but can to my MacBook Snow Leopard ' 08. Why the iMac think that the backup is corrupt?

  Of course, I'm using my iMac El Capitan, but when I bought the music today and went to add to my iPod touch iTunes ended up freezing. Long story short, I could delete the files from the iPod but can not add one; Adding a single song led to suspended iTunes and the cancellation of the synchronization via the iPod of course makes no difference.

  After going through all the rigamarole any attempt to delete all backups for iPod, both through preferences and in/Library/Application Support / MobileSync / Backup, I always had the same problem. I can't add music on my iPod via the iMac, nor can I save it there. Yes, I rebooted.

  And so, after many tears, I pulled out my MacBook ' 08, who narrowly missed the cut for El Capitan and so still has Snow Leopard. And now my iPod backed up very well! (I cursed myself for not to copy previous backup before it was replaced, but hey.) They are all under the same Apple ID, so at this point, I'm simply redownloading all of my new purchases on the ol' MacBook ' so I can add it to the iPod... but how long this will be a viable solution? (I realize using products Apple since 2008 is an affront, but you've got to do what you do I do, and I don't currently have pocket for 32 GB change.)

  So the question. Is there an incompatibility of software between my 1st generation iPod touch (3.1.3) and my iMac (El Capitan with iTunes 12.3.2.35 10.11.3)? Is there really a degree of corruption here than Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.6.8 11.4 (18) does not recognize?

  TL; Dr: I can do my iPod touch backup of my iMac?

  (My apologies for what is the format, I still haven't managed to brevity, and these a few hours researching in it made me frustrated).

  Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried to copy on the backup freshly prepared from the MacBook on the iMac and received the same exact error message.

• You can import users of snow leopard server in el capitan Server

  I have a client with a server on Snow Leopard (10.6).  It has never been updated so far.  Can I export the users and groups in Workgroup Manager, and then import them directly into the server of El Capitan?

  Yes.  You can do it three ways.  The first is to export the flat files by using the export of managers of the working group.  You can do this for users and groups.  The point here is that you don't have passwords.  Flat files will not flat files password export as plain text.  However, export of Workgroup Manager can give you more data you want to import into a new system as the MCX is discouraged.  You can use dsexport instead.  Using dsexport allows you to exclude attributes that you cannot be postponed.  The third way is to export an archive Open Directory.  An archive is a DMG file password which will include passwords, but also all of the stuff that you can't move protected.  In Admin Server on the 10.6 machine go to the archive and export an archive of OD.  This method may not be perfect, but if you must keep the UID and GUID values such as password, an archive of the AO is the best method.  But, be prepared for oddities as there is a lot of distance between 10.6 and 10.11.

  Hi all

  Has anyone else had problems with getting audio playback works fine on a Mac Pro 2013 running 10 X 64 Windows at retail.   I know that the speaker in my Mac works because it works fine on OS X and chimes on boot up but Windows there is not a glance.    I did all the basics such as checking things in Manager devices etc.   All Bootcamp support software are installed but nothing.  I'm a total loss of any any input would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  As Apple says have you tried:

  If some features do not work when you start your Mac in Windows 10, try to reinstall the Boot Camp support software to use Boot Camp Assistant.
