It’s not much more than your iMac Pro, Jude.

Friend has ordered new Mac Pro from Apple ?($60,000 worth??)
She has iMac Pro like mine only fully optioned up to the gunnels.?
So I may get to see one at least -- I'll try not to drool :-)

Somewhat reminiscent of the old cheesegrater G5 — and on wheels I think.? My friend has the old cylindrical one and iMac Pro like mine (exxcept hers is optioned to $24000 worth).

I move on Monday,
Thank God?
Thanks Jude, yes, it does work fine in the camera and I can view the photos via the display. ?I think I have some other cards somewhere, so will try one. Regards Something wrong with the card then ? If you’ve tried it in two Macs and card reader that would point to the card surely? Is it operating ok in the camera or can you view the pictures while it’s in the camera? ?Ask a camera shop - take the card with you... or try a different card in the Macs.
Thanks for the responses!
I have a card reader too, which doesn’t work either; I’ve tried Harvey’s reader but that was the same. It is so odd that both computers are failing me in the same way. Maybe it’s time to book a Genius Bar appointment, although I’m not lugging my 27in iMac with me! ?:D ?As an alternative, maybe Apple has an explanation. Regards This is like the one I bought and it works a treat. Maybe your internal one has given up the ghost for some reason. My little card reader is working fine with iMac Pro and Mojave.

Dear All, I'm showing definite signs of Osteoporosis now. Several other compression fractures have been diagnosed. I have brittle nails and my mother had hyperkyphosis or Dowager's hump. It seems it has been going on for some time but I've only noticed it recently. I have a limp on the left leg now (Sciatica?). I don't know how this will affect my move in terms of how much weight I can carry but at least I should be somewhere quieter.

Re: WD drive problem -- think I may have found the answer
Harvey does something similar (he doesn’t seem to have joined the .io group yet) by setting up automatic copying of our “Primary” network drive onto a Secondary and Tertiary disk on a nightly basis. Regards

Don’t worry about the format of the drive - the limitation comes from Time Machine rather than ?WD hardware (see this article -?). ?Should Apple update Time Machine to support APFS in future I imagine they’ll provide a migration path.

I have been out and ?bought a 4tb Seagate drive that the Seagate website says is Mac and Time Machine friendly, and currently it is setting up as a new Time Machine for me.?
I figure this should be an improvement on the WD drive which the WD website info says stopped being supported at Sierra....that was news to me.
However...... reading the small print for the new Seagate thingy it says it needs to be formatted HFS......so how are we going to get on when/if going to Catalina which is a whole new ballgame APFS?
I'm having a further rethink --- should we abandon TM altogether and go for a clone that updates....but for now I am letting the new one do fresh TM and I might then reformat the WD drive and maybe do a clone as well..
The WD drive incidentally was only 13 months old..... and it might be the culprit behind my iMac Pro lagging when it gets to three quarters down the start up bar ?in starting up and lagging in shutting down perhaps.?
