  There is no such cards and until Intel control tokens required to implement love at first sight, it will never be. You do not miss anything. They do not exist.

  Love at first sight, a computer to use leaving the factory "shot of lightning-ready". There is little this computer manufactured by Acer - but they're just computers of ThunderBolt where sight of material has been placed on an optional daughter card, and then were made optional save money.

• Mac Pro 3.1 dual port USB 3 pci-e card does not work on 10.8

  I have an inateck Dual Port USB 3.0 PCI-E card (KTU3FR - 2 p) which worked well when my Mac Pro 3.1 operated in the OS10.6.8, but after upgrade to OS 10.8.5, the map is no longer operational.   It can be seen as a device, but the description of the material says that he doesn't have a driver.  Inateck said it's Apple area, and "because of the new strategy of the Apple driver there is also no external support pilot in this case.  Can I do other than throw the card?

  If inateck doesn't have drivers for OSX 10.8, and 3 Apple USB drivers do not work, then you are out of luck

• PCI 3.1 ASUS USB to the Mac Pro running El Capitan?

  Hello

  As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4.1 (updated to 5.1 and 2 X of Hexa-Core Xeon X 5670 CPU) I "suffer" a restriction.

  And it is now old and really slow USB 2.0.

  I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 and I spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card.

  Of course, this card is given only as compatible with Windows...

  But I've seen a few reports of people claiming to have inserted this card in their Mac and have used successfully with several devices.

  It seems that these reports are under "Yosemite".

  I was wondering if they are always good with El Capitan...

  I put the card in the Mac.

  It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro.

  In fact looking at the system information, under "PCI" give "Expansion USB card".

  BUT:

  -No USB key I have insert mounts;

  -No USB stick plug mounts;

  -my mouse lights

  -the keyboard does not work...

  So I'm wondering if:

  -El Capitan has got rid of the first USB support 3.1 to Yosemite?

  - Or if my card can be default somehow?

  -If this behavior can be caused by updates, I made (Mac 4.1-5.1 online) + 8-Core CPU-online 12 Core CPU?

  If anyone would be able to help me, I would be eternally grateful :-)

  If so, the card can be sent to the seller...

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  Replying to myself: the card is functional.

  And the material is not at fault.

  How will I know?

  Simple: my Mac can dualboot on Mac or Linux Debian.

  So I just started in Debian on the same Mac Pro.

  Guess what? Without having to install any additional software, the card USB 3.1 is perfectly recognized under Linux.

  To remain decent, I will remain silent and will not say what I think Apple tries to limit the use of their devices without the need of technique to do so.

  I will now try to start to Yosemite to see if it allows me to use the card.

  Kind regards.

  Hello there Penguiner.

  Looks like you bought the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card and questions about its compatibility with your Mac Pro. The following Knowledge Base article speaks to the maps provided by Apple which have been tested and work with the Mac Pro:

  On the compatibility between Mac Pro-carte models graphics

  Since the ASUS card is not listed, the reference of the article could be a good recommendation to follow:

  This article applies only to video cards that originally shipped with a specified Mac Pro or upgrade kit have been offered by Apple. Similar maps that are not provided by Apple may have compatibility issues and you have to work with this card provider to confirm compatibility.

  Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

  Kind regards.

• 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.

• Analog triggering on PCIe-6251 using BNC-2120 on Mac Pro?

  Hello all-

  There, does anyone know how an analog trigger using a PCIe-6251 card connected to a box of BNC-2120 interface?  I am running LabVIEW 8.6 on a Mac Pro OS 10.5.6 and my VI of analog data acquisition seems to work but hangs up waiting for a trigger.  The trigger analog signal must be applied to the terminal APFI0 and the BNC-2120 contains no connector with this name.  On the M-series cards, APFI0 corresponds to pin 20 on the map itself, but I was not to locate any information that shows how the pins of the connector BNC-2120 connect internally to different spring on its façade and BNC connectors.  Sales people NOR recommended the BNC-2120 as the correct one to use with the PCIe-6251, interface box so I think that probably one of the many connectors on the front panel of the box is wired to pin 20.  Am I wrong?  I spent hours to connect signals to the box in the hope of getting a trigger, and nothing has worked yet.  To make matters worse, reviewing the VI to trigger a data acquisition using a TTL signal connected to all of the PFI 0... 9 connectors on the BNC-2120 just causes of VI to give undefined error message ' specific 89136 route cannot be met because the hardware does not support it.»  The specifications for the PCIe-6251 indicate that a digital trigger should be possible through the PFI connectors, so it's a puzzle.  I have an interface BNC-2110 box in the case which turns out be a solution, nothing about it is named APFI0 either.  Any suggestion would be of interest.  Thank you.

  -Ken1

  Hi Ken,

  Unfortunately, the BNC-2120 doesn't have a connection available on the APFI your M series line.  The BNC-2110 has this connection available.

  A possible workaround is that you can trigger off channels of analog inputs as well.  Here is a screenshot of the M Series User Manual that shows the analog switch-off circuits:

  

  There are a few caveats to trigger off AI channels (mentioned in Chapter 11 of the manual)

  If you use a trigger to start, the analog channel that will be triggered off the coast of must be the first string in your scan list.

  If you use an analog input as a reference or a relaxing break, it must be the only channel in the scan list.

  I hope this helps!

• Best Mac Pro Configuration for LR?

  For various reasons, I'm planning on migrating from my home desktop pc (4 years core2 2.4 ghz xp pro sp 3 32-bit to access the 2.93 on 4 GB of ram) to a new or (slightly used recently) Mac Pro desktop computer.  The Mac Pro is available in many different configurations and I would appreciate advice on the number of cores and the amount of ram I really need to run comfortably LR3x and its upgrades (within reasonable limits) and the PS3 for now and more later probably all that is underway.  I'm a reasonably advanced amateur photographer. I shoot what interests me and now use LR 90-95% of my post processing of my image of Leica and Canon raw files. I use some add-ons (SilverEfex Pro2 and others).

  I understand some articles read too much muscle in the Mac Pro can actually slow down LR, so if this is the case I would stay slim; also economic issues are somewhat a matter of concern.

  I have already considered a laptop or an iMac and decided that the Mac Pro is what I want.  The question is just "what will work best for me?

  Thanks in advance and if you want more information, just make me know.

  -Bob

  p.s. - What is disabled in this Forum search function?  I couldn't make it work.

  @ Bob: I think you might have acquired some misinformation somewhere. There is no such thing as "too much muscle" in a Mac Pro in relation to Lightroom - or any other program. OS X allocates resources to applications as they need. Unused resources remain inactive or are used by other applications.

  Adobe posts the minimum requirements for their applications, but these should be just taken as a starting point. In my opinion you should buy the best Mac Pro can manage your budget - and maybe a little more. The computer is an investment, after all, not a luxury. That said, you need to run Lightroom efficiently and Jay what to do video editing are not necessarily the same. For video rendering more hearts are better. For Lightroom, the question of the number of processor cores is less critical. Whereas, to speed the CPU is more relevant. For both, the amount of RAM can make a big difference.

  I recommend as a starting point, at least a Mac Pro quad-core with 4 GB of RAM. That would make if you were watching an iMac as well.

  I understand, however, looking at the current line-up of Mac Pro how can be confusing. The plu Nehalem powered Mac Pros look faster for less money, but now it is old technology. The new Intel Westmere processors offers significant improvements in performance. Unfortunately, they are also much more expensive than any upgrade Mac CPU previous. But if you want to 'future proof' your new Mac, one with a Westmere CPU is the best way to go. Model of 8 cores with Jay seems to be the best value, with two quadruple-heart 2.4 GHz CPU of Westmere. However, for only $200 more you can get the 6 base 3.33 GHz CPU Westmere. For the purpose of Lightroom, the fastest CPU Model 6 main more of a difference that the two additional cores will be in the version of 8 basis. And the version of the 6 core will take care of any multitasking job you throw at it; She, using Lightroom together with Adobe Photoshop, for example.

  To scramble a bit more, however, if the use of Lightroom is your main concern, a Mac Pro can be exaggerated. The new iMacs, which came out since you started this thread, are excellent machines. You could get much more for your money with a 27 "iMac, BTO with a quad-core 3.3 GHz Intel Sandy Bridge CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a hard disk of 2 TB for about $1000 less than the Mac Pro that you look. With a compatible computer, you get a screen wonderful 27 "on the iMac. I don't know why you think you need the Mac Pro. The iMac can now draw up to 16 GB of RAM. If you were to get one with 8 GB factory installed by Apple - as a BTO option - it would be still two empty slots of RAM available for a future upgrade. You could add an SSD to the iMac and always pay less than you would for the Mac Pro.

  And the new iMacs have a Thunderbolt port; Indeed, 27 "models have two ports Thunderbolt. These offer much better results and greater flexibility than any previous i/o connection. With a suitable adapter, you can use any device external, including eSATA, FireWire 400 and 800, USB 1, 2 and 3 and even Ethernet and an external monitor. Sure, the iMac has still four USB 2 ports and a Firewire 800 port and a slot for SDXC memory card. For what it may be, I suggest you only give the iMac another look. Your budget will thank you.

• Mac Pro: 5 Monitor Configuration help

  Hey guys!

  I have been working on a fairly massive project and am in need of some specific knowledge, Mac Pro, I did not.

  We will use the end 2013 Mac Pro as our work computer to bid on multiple auctions on multiple screens simultaneously. To illustrate the concept:

  

  * Forgive my skills as God art *.

  The problem we run into is wiring all 5 screens for the Mac Pro. Poster 2-5 have only the HDMI and VGA inputs. We are in need of the best possible quality who can offer screens of theses, my idea was just to pick up MiniDisplay 4 HDMI adapters to connect to the wall mounted monitors and use a Thunderbolt cable to connect the Thunderbolt Display. However, I have been informed and influenced in the delicate on the Mac Pro website formulation in the belief that the end of 2013 Mac Pro can handle 2 HDMI monitors.

  I would like to know your opinion on using MiniDisplay 4 HDMI adapters or not will work. And if no, what is the way to achieve the best quality on the whole upward.

  I thank very you much for your time and help!

  -Austin

  The 2013 MP can handle two monitors inherited (HDMI and DVI) with the cheaper passive miniDP > HDMI or DVI adapter. For more than two adopters must be active adapters.

  All adopters VGA are active.

  This is an active NPD > adopting HDMI

• Ask for help upgrade (Mac Pro early 2009 2x2.6 GHz Quad-Core)

  I am a videographer who has need to bring my Mac Pro from the dead. Cheesy with video files, but not parts of. My reading so far led me to look at in what follows. I'm looking for a better understanding of each of the following items and upgrades are beneficial and worth that may be too kill for a round of aging.

  1. Memory. I currently have 4x2gb or total of 8 GB of ram. I know this is ridiculous, I have not increased by at least 16 GB so far. However, I have read that memory can only help so much and that some of the items here are actual speed thrusters. How much memory is recommended for this configuration? Should I buy? http://www.Amazon.com/16GB-DDR3-1066-PC3-8500-1066Mhz-Apple/DP/B0098MLFJG/
  2. Solid State Drives. I currently have 3 disks internal thatrange of 500 GB to 2 TB. If I used that as my boot drive, where is the best place to install (see photo below)? I read of people installing in a Bay SATA HDD or SATA optical drive unused. I read good things about it. http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-I...p/B00OBRE5UE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?IE=U TF8
  3. Video/graphics card. First of all, both mean the same thing? Are the belowonly of slots PCI Express 4 for this type of card? Also, can you have two installed? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB series. What is the best way to upgrade? My research so far has led me to the GeForce GTX680. Looks like I'll have to buy it was good. T7ZS http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-DisplayPort-Graphics-02G-P4-3682-KR/DP/B00C81
  4. Processor upgrade. I'm intimidated by it due to intensive installation and prices. What would be the next best bet - upgrade to 12-core? Where to buy?
  5. Firmware? I've seen videos and forums on (4.1 - I) (5.1) or (6.1). I don't really understand what that means. Should I be concerned?

  

  Thank you!

  -The fastest drive is a blade of base PCle SSD. Very very fast

  The SSD to 'Classic' Mac Pro training

  -The bus SATA on the Mac Pro is only SATA II (3 GB/s) and connected to the bus SAT SSD is therefore limited to speed SATA II, not the speed of current SATA III (6 Gbps) drives.

  -You can get cards PCle who accept the standard SATA SSD and who can get speeds of SATA III

  -You can install several graphics cards. I have my 2009 MP, I have the original GT120 in slot 2 and a 5770 PC card into slot 1 (slot width double only).

  A graphics for PC cards will not display anything while booting, as well as an installed PC card can be used for the Startup Option or special start-up as recovery mode.

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• I need good reasons to upgrade my Mac Pro 2009.

  Hello

  I am a new employee in a company that makes me work on a Mac Pro 2009 for heavy After Effects and first projects.  I propose a new Mac Pro, but company's technical team is PC based, does not understand the world of video production and they don't understand why I can't continue to use what I have.

  Here are the specs of my current Mac Pro:

  Mac Pro early 2009

  2x2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

  16 GB OF RAM

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

  2 internal 1 TB HDs

  10.9.3 OSX

  Adobe CS5 Production Premium is installed.

  I offer this configuration:

  • Processor: 2.7 GHz 12 - core Intel Xeon E5 processors

  with 30 MB of memory cache L3

  • Memory: 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC (4x16GB)

  • Graphics: Dual AMD over-pants D700 GPU

  with 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM

  • Hard drive inside (OS and Application reader): storage 1 TB PCIe flash

  • External hard drive (disk work): PROMISE Pegasus2 12 to R6 (6 per 2 TB)

  Thunderbolt RAID System 2

  • Disk drive: drive Blu-ray/DVD/CD external (with Media & Toast 11 HD)

  • Adobe CC 2014

  • First CC

  • After Effects CC

  • Media encode CC

  • SpeedGrade CC

  • Illustrator CC

  • Photoshop CC

  (other info: I shoot and edit images from the Canon C100 and 5 d Mark III)

  So, I come from a company that wanted to have a quick configuration to keep the animation and the process of change moving as quickly as possible.  The recommended configuration, I have above is the configuration that I used before.

  The problem is that when the Ministry of technology (I.S.) for my new job sees the minimum requirements posted by Adobe for EFA and AP, they think that I agree with what I have (side maybe form a updated video card).  I need hard stats and figures that will convince my company to buy a faster Mac Pro.

  Can someone share some information that I can use to support my arguments?

  Here's the e-mail I have built so far:

  Adobe After Effects and first are powerful animation and editing programs if they are given a lot of RAM, card graph multiple GPU and VRAM.  Working in the minimum requirements will get me by, but at a cost VERY slow processing and rendering times.

  the 2009 mac 4.1 pro can be upgraded to a number of current spare cards from Nvidia and AMD, but in many cases the cards require custom flashing of the Distributor and custom drivers. You need to buy a card with a distributor of mac because versions "Windows" of these cards will not work out of the box and OS X will not support without 3rd party drivers. This procedure is not recommended by apple that would rather you buy a new mac pro and again I want to say something for $5K, which offers the latest GPU is already 3 years old.

  research on the Web "Mac Pro 4.1 GPU" for more details.
