• MAC Pro tower to new MAC Pro upgrade

  Currently, I have a MAC Pro Tower and will be upgraded for the new MAC Pro, probably within 6 months.

  At the present time, I have 1 HD SSD (with programs and the OS on it) and 3 hard drives regularly in-house.  One of the internal HD contains the data of my programs, while the other two are used for backups, etc.

  Here are my questions:

  I plan to go with the 256 GB SSD drive in the new MAC Pro, but my question is can I get another internal HD (SSD, or other) to store my data?

  I plan on the withdrawal of the other HD and their use for external storage, should I do access these drives with the new MAC Pro?

  I currently have 3 external HD used to store photos and movies, I'm going to him again able to use with the new MAC Pro?

  I have speakers external, purchased from the Apple Store, they will work with the new MAC Pro?

  I have several printers, a scanner and on my current MAC Pro Tower, they will work on the new MAC Pro?

  I would just move the stuff of my current MAC Pro Tour (programs, operating system, data) for the new MAC Pro, this is something Apple can do for me?

  Needless to say, I am grateful for any help I can get in that case.

  Thank you.

  1 - 2013 cylinder Mac Pro can have only a single storage device internal. Cannot add another.

  I would opt for the 500 GB one.

  2 - Likley Yes but yo don't say how they are related to the tour D'Argent. The 2013 has four USB 3 and 6 ports Thunderbolt Mac you can get a bolt of lightning > adopter FireWire

  3 see # 2

  4 - Yes the speaker, if the USB or 3.5 mm will work

  5 - the printer and scanner will work if there are drivers that are supported on El Capitan. You have not specified the OSX version on your silver tower

  6. I've heard rumors that you will now pay Apple to move information to a new system, but you should check. You can do it yourself. It is not difficult. See:

• 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.

• Windows 7 Pro upgrade for reuse

  My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro. When it happens, I would use my Windows 7 recovery discs (Home Premium) to bring the machine to its original state, and then install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade. Then I would use the disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to upgrade to another computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Will there be problems reusing this disc again?

  Hi flnettles,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.
  
  If it is licensed OEM - No. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
  1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

• Mac Pro optimized for Photoshop and Premier Pro, yet affordable data sheet

  I'll replace it my old desktop Mac Pro with a new.  I'm looking for advice for the choice of the configuration suitable for the new Mac Pro for use with the latest versions of Photoshop and Premier Pro.  This must be balanced with a budget between $ 4000 to $6500.  I use several storage on hard disk for my files, but I'm not pleading for all the advice to do this, my Photoshop is used for photo editing, with several images of at least 25 MB files panoramas and a high dynamic range and composite (used Photoshop for 10 years).  I have not started using Premier Pro for video editing, but he'll use it mainly in the next 18 months to edit movies in the family home.

  Primary technical issues are the GPU D300 or D500, CPU speed and the number of hearts 4 or 6 or 8 and the memory ECC DDR3 12 GB or 16 GB or 32 GB or 64 GB.

  Read various articles Internet and clients of the Mac Pro, I find that I am unable to lead to a final choice.  An article said that Adobe has designed its software to effectively use the new Mac Pro GPU and CPU cores.

  Thank you

  MIKE

  I would say at least 16 GB of ram with 32 GB really what you want because of the bi - GPU "s. If you do not have enough ram to feed two video cards, then these two cards will have a limited performance. D300 cards are really loss. I wouldn't bother with nothing less than the cards D500, especially if you plan to use the first. AMD cards already have half the performance that Nvidia cards do with acceleration GPU Adobe Premiere. I wouldn't make it worse with D300 cards. I also suggest you the processor 6 4 soul. Otherwise just get the new Imac instead of you want a Mac.

  When you go on creative cloud that you are given the characteristics of DC Acrobat pro and you can switch between that and Acrobat XI last of the Pro has a better description of the important and feature some of the similar feature in DC get little more than a mention of a single word.

  I feel that the interface is very different but all I really want to know will be I be losing functionality of upgrade or are present their just emphasis is placed on the Document and not on the print function, cloud prepress, interactivity and integration of JS are all very important in my workflow so the loss of the any of these feature would be a major upset.

  I hope that the few greater compatibility of interactive elements is available on a desktop pc and mobile versions

  Hi Graemezee1,

  Acrobat DC is an upgrade and when you install it, it will overwrite an Acrobat installation on your computer. The interface is indeed different (but easy to navigate, I think!), but you will not lose the upgrade feature.

• Commitment to Apple for Mac Pro line?

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), which gave me eight years of service. Good enough. I hope that press another year out of it, put my money and then upgrade to a new Mac. My (non-Apple) local service guy tried to talk to me in an iMac and pointed out that the current Mac Pro 1) is probably overkill for 99% of what I do (photography) and 2) do has not been updated by Apple since 2013. It is #2 that concerns me the most. What is the general consensus on the commitment Appleʻs to line up of range Mac Pro?

  A top of the line iMac is a very powerful computer.

  4 GHz quad core i7, 32 GB RAM, 4 GB graphics, SSD 1 TB or 3 TB Fusion by car, 5K display, a 5K or two external displays 4K, 2 ports Thunderbolt.

  The only benefits of the Mac Pro are:

  Multiple cores CPU (low speed) and a second graphics card, which will be useful if you do a lot of video rendering.

  The Thunderbolt ports more, displays more (low resolution) and a lot of simultaneous disk transfers.

  I agree that the Mac Pro is excessive.  Regarding Mac Pro upgrades, until Intel releases significantly better class server CPU and 3 stroke, it is not much Mac Pro, upgrade for Apple to do.  They do not sell enough to make small annual updates is worth.

• Adobe Application Manager cannot find Acrobat XI Mac Pro on MBP

  Hello

  I tried several times, and personal support from Adobe yet contacted chat, to solve this problem, but when I run Adobe Application Manager, still shows that I have not installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac.  He told me that my serial number is valid, but that it cannot find AA XI Pro on my MBP.  When I run Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for Mac on my MBP, I get a similar message.  Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is not yet in the list of applications for which I could possibly enter a serial number.  So, I wonder - Adobe has not yet clued in its own applications that he has released Acrobat Pro XI?

  Seems all kinds of descendant and not professional to me.

  See you soon,.

  Hussar

  Since the message that you have described, it shows that you have purchased the upgrade for Acrobat XI. You are eligible for an upgrade if you already have an earlier version of Acrobat. More details here - http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide-upgrade-pricing.html

  If you already have an earlier version of Acrobat, select this version from the drop-down list and provide the serial number of this version. For example, if you have Acrobat X and you decide to upgrade to Acrobat XI, then launch Acrobat XI you will get this message. Select Acrobat X and provide the serial number for Acrobat X so that your eligibility for discounted upgrade is checked.

  If you do not have the earlier version of Acrobat, and yet you have purchased an upgrade, please contact customer support to solve this problem.

• 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)

  (Available at OtherWorldComputing.com hard drive)

  • 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.

  2009 brand test on Mac Pro bench with After Effects:

  http://www.barefeats.com/nehal04.html

  Note the second 151 comparison test of speed for the model of this society currently.

  2013 mac Pro Bench mark test with After Effects:

  http://www.barefeats.com/tube19.html

  Note that the speed test of 37seconds for model reference below what we advocate.  As they have not yet test the fastest computer of 12 base.

  Premiere Pro system requirements:

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Premiere-Pro/system-requirements.html

  Although it is optional, the video card should be at least 1 GB of VRAM.  It is a bare minimum of non-professionals.

  Article on the reading Mercury of Adobe Premiere engine:

  Thanks in advance for any help in a configuration of MOUNTING sales PROFESSIONAL.

  See this page for more information on material for Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects: http://adobe.ly/pRYOuk

  These resources can build a strong case for processors more and more fast and more than RAM, not to mention a GPU that Premiere Pro can be used for acceleration.

• Illustrator crashes after installation of Nvidia GTX 970 in MAC Pro

  Hi all

  Please notify this problem, it would be a great help.

  After installing a new Nvidia (EVGA) 970 GTX graphics card in my MAC Pro system, Illustrator crashes all the time (random, always on "save under", sometimes on opening the files).

  in a cheese grater old mac pro as you and it is a festival of crash in .ai and I would be interested to know if you are also experiencing photoshop bail out completely if you try 'resize' an image?

  I tried several other drivers of web that improved things but always authorized random crashes,

  so...

  the only solution that I found (and that's a total of "fix" as abel to get one with some work again finally!) is to disable the gpu acceleration in preferences (not only temporarily using the rocket button or the Preview on CPU option in the menu (, but a STOP appropriate in the Preferences section, same "fix" has been used in Pshop to make it usable as.))

  I was worried that it would mean a totally unnecessary 'upgrade', but coming from a 1 GB card, everything seems still to be a lot better and faster despite disabling the GPU acceleration, perhaps simply because the operating system and all other open applications (not adobe) are able to use the GPU at least partially? and which allows a little more resources elsewhere. Anyway, this isn't a total waste, and I can now work on files that have been previously direction buy me a new imac instead of the mac pro upgrade one last time... (which turns out to be a blessing, because it seems to imac users have problems too).

  the 'upgrade' was essentially a downgrade effect for me in the aftermath, as even though it have 4 x the power of the previous card, Adobe have totally ruined the options found in the application, which means that what was once a system (even with 1 GB) which was capable of an overview of the 'real time' virtually no matter what if you waited so that it runs through a reading of frame by frame 'green line '. , has now turned into an application that can only run previews in real time by jumping the executives, it's a joke...

  hope get you it sorted, and I hope that nvidia will give us more options driver soon?

  or adobe could remedy the situation! Ha ha, that's a good joke to put end to now I think...

• Mac Pro power whirring noise

  I have a mac pro 2.1 with a Radeon mac-flashed 7970, witch makes a fairly strong and annoying hum noise. It sounds like a fan bearing or a blade fan of friction or something.

  Initially, I suspected the fan on the graphics card, as the noise got worse when I put the graphics card under load. But stop fans with my finger for a second did not stop the noise.

  I checked all the other fans in the system by turning their speed one by one using a control application third fan, but that doesn't seem to cause noise. When the system was not under tension, speed fans only sounded like a plane taking off, no strange whirring / clicking noises.

  I also followed him Nadim fan when running the reference of sky charts, and none of the fans seems to speed up the noise at startup.

  The noise seems to come from the power supply area. I stick my finger in this fan aswel, but that also did not stop the noise.

  My graphics card is put a lot of stress on the power supply? (seems unlikely, there is not much else in the system.) 128 SSD samsung, and 16 GB of memory, without HARD drives or optical drives.)

  Or maybe just a case of whining reel? I never heard talking about the cases where it is is bad. Sound clearly audible with the mac pro onder my office with the closed side panel. It's about as strong as the average of a mechanical hard drive.

  Someone at - it suggestions on what it might be? Anny information is appreciated!

  UPDATE:

  I've did some more research and tests today, and now I don't know if it's the POWER supply. Further examination, the noise seems to come from the graphics card rather than feeding.

  However, I got the mac pro crash on me earlier and seemed to associate PSU.

  When I tried to run the benchmark in the Valley of launchpad, the mac pro froze for a second about, and then both screens of. Fans and LEDS have remained, and pressing the button did not stop instantly the mac of. After pressing the SPACEBAR and mouse movement a little I tried the button of power again and this time he did close some instantly. After reboot I met the gray screen telling me my computer restarted because of a problem, and I had to almost any key to start.

  Later, I tried to run the benchmark of sky without the installed card via screen sharing, but that did not work. I did trie with another card installed, but who also refused to run the reference point. If unfortunately I have no way to ensure the sound comes from the GUP or POWER supply right now.

  I think that there is still an old mac pro at work that I might be able to test the card Friday, maybe wil give me some guidance on the issue of whether this is in fact my GPU. And if not, I might be able to take the power supply of the mac pro at work and test it in my mac pro.

  But I'm stil torn on the weather to suspect my GPU or PSU. the accident that I got today sounds PSU related to me, but the noise seems to come from the GPU. Anyone have any ideas?
