I'd click them in my dock, leave, and when I came back at least 6 minutes later they'd all be ready to go.

I run about a dozen apps at a time: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Mail, Safari, Font-Management programs, Phase One Media Pro and etc. Once my 2010 Mac Pro wakes up and/or boots the OS, I come back and click all my apps in my dock.
#OPTICAL ADAPTERS FOR 2010 MAC PRO SOFTWARE#
Speed? Well, I run so much complex software that my 2010 Mac Pro takes about 6 minutes to load it all up.

Silence is golden: time to get a new clock! Now the loudest thing in my studio is the clock ticking. Do you know why I bought my 2010 Mac Pro? 90% because my 2007 Quad G5 made so much fan noise that it sounded like a helicopter on takeoff! There is a slow fan for cooling that you can't hear more than a few inches away. With nothing but electronic memory for the first time, the new Mac Pro makes no noise.

Imagine a PC that you can shake around and move around your desk while it's on and working, and it just doesn't care because the only moving part is one big, barely moving rotary fan. We can order the new Mac Pro with a terabyte of bulletproof memory, no problem. Even optical discs get dirty, you can't move the computer around while they are working, and they are very mechanical, with servo motor systems working in at least three axes all the time. DVDs, Blu-Ray, CDs, hard drives, floppies and tape are all mechanical. The new Mac Pro is the first pro desktop computer that no longer uses any mechanical memory. Well, with the new Mac Pro, waiting for things to happen is history. Once they are ready to go they all run super fast, but why has the hot rod Mac always taken longer to wake up than my 12" iBook laptop from 2004? (my 12" iBook is exactly 10 years old today and still works perfectly, even the battery!) The real limitation to speed is how fast they boot up and load all my programs. I had 2 GB RAM in my Mac Pro in 2000, and it always worked super fast once all booted up, duh. If you want fast image processing, just get enough RAM and work on reasonably sized images. Even my year 2000 Power Mac dual 450 MHz G4 had no problem crunching 100 megabyte files (16-bit scans from 4x5" film) 14 years ago in Photoshop. Specifically, the only thing my previous Mac Pros didn't do fast is wake up from sleep or boot up all my programs. I'll have a lot more to say, but for now, I'm impressed that it's silent and about six times faster than my previous 2010 hex-core 3.33 GHz Mac Pro! It's got more in common with an iPad than an old-style mechanical PC you can't hurt it by moving it around as it works. It's an entirely new all-electronic way of computing it is all solid-state memory with no mechanical drives like hard drives and optical drives. It's a silent black orb that hovers over your desk and just became available after a long wait at the beginning of 2014. I also have an external drive (USB and FW800) that I can format and partition in any way that might be helpful.B&H Photo - Video - Pro Audio I use these stores. In both cases the end result is a black screen with flashing underline, but no further message. I've purchased Paragon NTFS in the naïve hope that creating a NTFS partition and copying the ISO or bootable USB to that would work, and tried using rEFIt to boot from such devices. Presumably this is because I cannot boot from USB on this older model MacBook Pro. Using the tip on this page I can mount the disk image locally and get Boot Camp to create the Boot Camp partition, but when I reboot I see "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key". iso and have also created a (nominally, untested) bootable USB stick via the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.

I need to install Windows on it, and was hoping to do so via Boot Camp.

I have a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro6,1) and my optical drive has died.
