Crashes with Mac Pro and Wacom Cintiq?

Anyone else here running a Mac Pro with a Wacom Cintiq? I am having issues with this configuration since I updated to 10.5.3. Mac OS X would crash while I am using the Cintiq.
I have an 8-Core Mac Pro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB GDDR3 memory (two dual-link DVI). I got a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and I am running it as a secondary display with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. I mainly use Adobe Flash CS3 to do animation.
I was able to run with this set up for a month trouble-free until I noticed it crashing (gray curtain of death) recently. That was when I updated to 10.5.3.
I tried to downgrade back to 10.5.1 and found that the set up runs more stable with that version. However, I have some apps (such as Aperture 2) that I need to run, hence my persistence in running under 10.5.3, or 10.5.4 even.
I have the latest Wacom Tablet driver installed, by the way.
I just wanted to know if anyone else have this same set up but is having no issues. I would love to know what settings they are using that makes their setup trouble free. Or am I out of luck and should just revert back to 10.5.1?
Thanks.

Hey, hopfully anyone here could possible help me with this...
I have a MBP and when I bought a Wacom Cintiq half a year ago, Wacom told me already that there are problems with the NVIDIA 8600M GT. At the beginning everything run normal. Whenever I used the Cintiq to draw or just as a second monitor. BUT whenever I didn't connect it to my MBP my Intuos was not recognized (the tablet prefs where not in the System Preferences). As soon as I plug in the Cintiq and would un-plug it right after, the Intuos is recongized (and the Wacom prefs where in the System Preferences). When I installed the latest Wacom software (I un-installed the old one before), it seemed to work. I started my computer and it recognized the Intuos straight and the Wacom prefs, YES! BUT since yesterday, I believe the first time I used the Cintiq since I installed the new Wacom drivers, the same problem appeared again. In my System Preferences I get the message, "A USB tablet was not found when the system started....". This is driving me insane, to basically need a second monitor to plug in first in order to use my tablet?!?!?! This way I am not able to use my tablet when I am mobile and that is a big handicap....
Thanks.

Cannot Complete Installation of Vista with Mac Pro and Boot Camp

I only have one hard drive with my Mac Pro, and I partitioned the drive into two sections with boot camp and restarted with my Vista 64 bit Ultimate CD.
I have tried formatting the partition with Vista and it still gives me the dreaded error message of "windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria". I've tried deleting the partition during installation, and making a new partition with Vista, reformatting, then restarting the computer. Same message.
I don't know what to do. I've tried like mad searching for topics like this one here, but every one of them deals with installing vista on a second dedicated hard drive on the Mac Pro. I only have one. How do I get this to work?
Please help if you can. I would REALLY appreciate it. I'll be watching the thread. Thank you!!

Thank you for your reply! I'll be here all night.
I have the 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. I tried installing Vista ultimate with my 32 bit software, but I still get the same message (I own both legally, btw).
Thanks for your help.
Several things to do:
Run OS-X Disk utility and repair the disk if necessary, and file permissions.
Be sure your HD has the GUID partition scheme and if it has SMART that it's OK
Zap the PRAM
Be sure you are logged in as administrator when creating the BC partition and starting the installation of Windows from Leopard
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I was using BootCamp beta, 1.2 or 1.3. I created the partition with BootCamp Assistant.app as you did. It's a 60GB partition that I formatted with NTFS with BC.
After starting the install in Tiger, I then simply inserted the Vista 64-bit DVD and that was it.
It just installed.
Ditto with XP-Pro on my other MBP. Zero problems with BC. It was also done with a beta, BC1.0.
I have never installed Windows using Leopard. When I updated to Leopard from Tiger nothing changed, but there seem to be more problems with Leopard and BC2.0 than there were with Tiger and the beta versions.
There are no requirements about legality until after the OS is installed, so that's a moot point.
There are some install DVDs that are in ISO format and they won't work, but it seems that yours is working but not finding a suitable volume.
You might try reformatting the BC partition with BootCamp assistant as FAt32 and seeing if that works, but you are limited to 32GB if you do that, but it would be a good test. Vista should then format it into NTFS.
Be sure that your Leopard OS is fully backed up because stuff happens when you keep fooling around with partitions.

Overall happiness with Mac Pro and Boot camp/XP

Hi all,
I am a current Windows user and need to upgrade my home computer soon. My wife (teacher) has an imac g5 at home an loves it. I am thinking of getting a refurb mac pro when Leopard is released and use Boot Camp with XP Pro. I am not a big gamer so that is not a concern. I am just checking to see how happy others using this configuration are, and maybe reccomend a configuration (separate hard drives etc.)
Thanks to all for any feedback.

I love mine. Its quiet, launches native apps practically instantly (CS2 takes a few seconds longer), and performs all the system instensive stuff I ask of it quickly and without complaint.
And while it kills me to use Windows anymore, I need to feed my old gaming habit for which Bootcamp is great. I also need to do web browser testing for IE, and Parallels makes it super convienent.
If you have need of a system this powerful, I can totally recommend it. Without knowing what you're specific needs are, the sort of "all-around" config would be:
2.66 Ghz
2 GBs of RAM minimum (third party RAM is cheaper).
Buy extra drives if you need the storage space. But don't buy these from Apple. Western Digital drives are good and quiet.
Airport and Bluetooth options are pretty self explanatory.
If you don't game, and you don't use GPU sucking apps like Motion or Maya, you won't need the video card upgrade.
I could give you more specifics if you tell us what the system will be used for.

Airport connection probs with Mac Pro and 10.4.8 too.

This prob is not just related to iMacs or MacBooks as published in the knowledge base doc. I have exactly the same prob with my 2.66 GHz Mac Pro. I have to reconnect this beast to my wlan router manually every time.
PLZ Apple fix this asap!

I had a similar problem which I've fixed!
I have four machines here which can connect to my Netgear DG834N via Aiport. (I say can because they normally connect via ethernet.) My MacBook Pro always used to be fine when connected wirelessly but recently, not aware of any changes I've made, it connects for about 10 seconds then disconnects. All other machines are fine and hold the connection.
This is what I tried before finding my solution:
1) Deleted all references to the network in the keychain and remade them.
2) Created another user to try
3) Changed channels on the router even though I can't see any neighbour's networks.
4) Made sure computer and router were up to date with firmware/software.
I'm assuming that it has to be a computer problem as the PowerMac, iMac and iPod Touch have no issues at all. However, the cure was in the router.
I run with SSID broadcast turned off, WPA2 encryption and MAC address filtering. Allowing broadcast of the SSID cures my problem. Turn it off and the computer connects then drops it ten seconds later. Turn broadcast on and it maintains the connection. I've tried it all afternoon, leaving it connected for about 30 minutes at a time before turning SSID broadcast off again. Works every time! Broadcast SSID - fine, no broadcast - drops after ten seconds.
Now, if only I knew why! And why only the laptop?

I have another system luckily thats newer that I work on with clients, but I dont want to foresake the other mac pro yet. is the 5770 going to work? Please let me know what you think, I greatly appreciate it. Also my system profile doesnt say I have pci express 2.0 on either my old or new mac pros.
why are there no patches for this card, updates, drivers? nada. let me know. thank you.

*Is it possible to run the factory NVIDIA 7300 GT side-by-side with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 to achieve a three monitor setup?*
Yes with OSX. There may be problems with Boot Camp.

Video display issues with Mac Pro and GeForce 7300?

I'm just wondering whether anyone else has experienced any video strangeness with their Mac Pros with GeForce 7300 cards? Basically, twice now I've had the mouse cursor stop responding and the entire screen turn black, then a second later everything's back to normal (with the cursor moving and the display back). I seem to recall a similar issue on my Windows PC with a Quadro FX 1100 card, so I'm hoping it's just a video driver issue.
Bryan

I am not sure if its the monitor, the MP, or the video card, but, I have had my computer completely replaced after reporting to my local Apple Store about my G5 fans over heating and my monitor either not being able to wake or refusing to sleep. I called AppleCare and did all the normal trouble shooting but they said take it in to store. But now that I have a brand new MP 3.0 I am getting the same issue but no fan noise. I have a 23Cinima HD (the strore said it was fine when they had both my computer and monitor in) but last night after hours of inactivity the monitor had the screen saver on but didn't got to sleep. I then put in to sleep but when I got up this morning I couldn't wake it up. When I got my new computer (3 days ago) I didn't migraite any of my old stuff. I have been slowly reinstalling all my software and updated anything before I install anything else as an added attempt to not have any bad files. I have 2 gig of ram and 500 hd with the 7300 card. I am at a lost I checked and rechecked all my setting. The only other thing I have connected is my airport extreme base.
Any idea's anyone?
Ops one last issue, I have blown my apartment circut breaker three time while attempting to start the new PM and once it did it when I was trying to wake it just by tapping the space bar. Is it the computer being more power hunger?

Monitor problems with Mac Pro and Leopard

I can't turn energy saver off.I have two LCD monitors connected, one 19" Viewsonic VX924 and one 30" Dell3007WFPHC . I set energy saver:Put the display(s) to sleep when computer is inactive for Never.
Yet I can turn the monitors off and back on later and it's put the Viewsonic to sleep ,but not the Dell.
I then open the energy saver system preferences again and low and behold it's changed itself back to sleep at 26 minutes.Ghost in the machine?Why doesn't it put the Dell to sleep as well?????Why does it keep changing back to 26 minutes regardless of how many times I set it to never and lock it?
I even tried just using the Viewsonic only and setting to never,I also trashed a pref file I thought was energy saver , still same behavior, this is a REALLY big hassle ,because I have to restart every time just to get this monitor back up.
Any clues?
Many thanks!

I think there are some powermanagement prefs in your account and in /Library but I also read of problems with ViewSonic VX back when the Mac Pro came out in 9/06.
I would give the SMC button a good 'kick' and see if that helps.
And when you restart, this is normal safe restart, or forced?
SMC button, this is restart button on the inside of the mac?
It's always a safe restart,the whole computer doesn't go down, it's just the viewsonic power light blinks on and off and there is not much I can do to get back up quickly, but restart. I have played with display settings and got it back before, but that's hit or miss and very time consuming.
Thanks you so so much for your help and suggestions!

SERIOUS Problem with mac pro and kernel panics

Hi guys, I have a mac pro with 6 gigabytes of RAM + a RAID 0+1 system with 4 750 gigabytes HD's. ( 2 drives work in stripped mode, and the other 2 drives mirror them )
I was experiencing some frecuent kernel panics when using final cut or trying to watch DVD's a few weeks ago. I saved some error logs then and uploaded them to my e-mail. The problem is that now the frequency of the panics is so high that the computer has turned unusable, it reaches the desktop without panics, but when I click finalcut and it starts opening , it panics all the time, if I start to open folders, it panics, anything I try = panic.
Weeks ago I made the Apple Hardware test, testing the memory a lot and the memory seemed to be fine,
Could you guys help me to identify the source of this?, I am desperate because the MacPro is my Working tool. Is there a way to check the hard drives also? ( remember I have raid 0+1 )
Here are the error logs that I managed to capture.

What you mention is really interesting , maybe I could try to benchmark the card very hard to see if I get the panics there. I will try that for sure, because my RAID wasn't actually a 0+1. It's what they call a RAID 10 , ( two groups of mirrored drives, + striped )
It's like this post in macosrumors, but instead of two groups of striped disks, the big group is striped, and I got two smaller mirrored groups.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=445731
And I think that sould be working just fine without the RAID PCI-X card right ? ( maybe I'm wrong here , that's why I need your input guys . )

Constant crashing with Logic Pro and Vienna Inst

I saw somewhere on the forum (but can't find it) a string regarding constant crashing of Logic Pro using Vienna Instruments (Special Edition). I'm experiencing 2-5 minutes of work time and then a crash - quite regularly. I also saw people point to Mac OS 10.4.9, which I also have - has this been identified as the culprit and have any fixes been offered?
Help!

Actually it's more like 1-2 minutes - sure seems coincidental to having downloaded 10.4.9 - anybody got any suggestions out there? This is killing me.

(Cross Post! SORRY!) Having trouble with Mac Pro and Vista/Boot Camp

I feel like this board is more populated, so I thought I'd post this here as well. Forgive me.
Ok, so it took me forever to install Vista. It kept saying my partition wasn't valid even after I'd format it. After restarting like 15 times it finally went through. So, it installed.
BUT, now I have two issues. When Vista starts, I get this weird jumble of like MS-DOS text talking about partitions, weird numbers, my monitors just flash and kinda go nuts with the text then at the top after like 10 second of text, it says 'booting windows vista' with more ms-dos text. Finally after 30 seconds of that, it shows me that green bar that shows up to load Vista then voila, Vista is up and running. The OS works fine, but no matter what, I go through that jumble of text. Any way to get rid of it? What's wrong with it?
Also, now that I've installed Vista, I can't get back into OS X. I have a wireless PC keyboard and a wireless bluetooth Apple keyboard, so I don't know what to do. When I go into Vista's Control Panel to select Startup Disk it says it can't load the program. So I'm at a loss. I really wanna get back into OS X!
Any help would be fantastic!!

Ok, I fixed the issue by using the wireless PC keyboard. I put the Vista install DVD in the drive and restarted the computer. The computer wouldn't recognize the OS X DVD.
I remembered that the computer would register the keyboard inputs after restarting from the Vista Install Screen, so I restarted, held down alt on the PC keyboard and it worked!
Now with the apple keyboard working, I restarted and reset the PRAM which made the computer boot into OS X by default instead of Vista.
BUT, I still get that weird DOS text every time I load Vista, and now after keeping Vista running for a few hours, it starts kinda glitching over time. It loses connection with the network (I had to physically unplug and plug back in the ethernet cable to get it to recognize the network) and for some reason in order to use my apple keyboard, I have to turn it off and on when I get into Vista. It's annoying.
Anywho, if anyone can help me with my Vista problems, that'd be grand :P

How do I scan inside Photoshop with Mac Pro and Epson Artison 710?

I can print but not import from scanner

is your scanner software up to date? failing that look for "twain acquire" or "Import". I think Preview will handle scans. maybe photoshop needs a plugin for this, just guessing. I didn't know that Photoshop had scanning capability on its own. I thought it was scan image, save, then Photoshop, but I'm probably wrong..

Boot camp, MAC pro and windows XP

Hi,
I am leading a programmers team, what we want is the faster machines to improve performance. Currently investigating an HP machine with windows XP 64 on it. But that doesn't work for us as most of hour programming tools do not work under XP 64. We cannot install 32 bit Windows because of the 2 Quad cores in the machines (according to IT).
Solution could be MAC pro, same specs (2 quad cores and 4 GB internal memory ) but with Boot Camp I can install XP 32. Or am I wrong? Or will MAC pro with XP 32 do not give an performance increase we can expect with 8 core?
Robert

Hi Robert,
for the IT guys: XP Prfessional does support up to 2 processors with multiple cores each.
XP Home does only support one processor with multiple cores.
The main problem with Mac Pro and 32-bit Windows XP or Vista (and possibly with the HP machine, too) is, that because the expansion slots are reserving quite some parts of RAM for their own Range of Adresses (even if no expansion card is in them) from the 4GB of RAM you will only get about 2GB for XP Pro 32-bit to see and use.
Only chance to use the full amount of RAM is 64-bit Windows and then Vista is the one to use, because Apple does not provide any drivers for XP-64 bit.
Regards
Stefan

Mac Pro and Panasonic DV

Have just got a Mac Pro (and am also new to Macs). I have a two year old Panasonic NV-GS15 digital video camera attached via firewire, I can't pick up the camera at all...in i-movie, Final Cut Pro (5.1) or even see it when looking under the firewire port. Have been on Panasonic website and the driver information I found was related to PC/Windows. Have emailed Panasonic but they aren't replying.
Any suggestions/answers/wishes of luck?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 x 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon, 2GB 667 MHz

I have same problem with Mac Pro and Panasonic PV-GS120. I went to Apple store and tried Mac Pros over there and they all had the problem. PowerBooks (G4 and Intel) as well as iMacs can all see the camcoder fine and iMovie imports clips without problems. System Profiler does not show any FireWire devices once the camcoder is attached Mac Pro and /var/log/system.log reports that FireWire has been reset multiple times in the last minute. I've filled in the form to escalate issue to Apple but I have no idea when the issues is going to be addressed.

Macbook pro early 2011 - overheat and crash with blue screen and glitches

Hi
since last wednesday my MBP has started to freeze and then crash with bluescreen, glitches and so on...
Most of the time doesnt not restart with any command as is overheating as well.
I did a clean installation on friday night and i am now running mavericks and then again on sunday it start with all the above issue. At the moment i am able to restart only if i reset NVRAM each time, which i do not think is really safe to do it everytime.
i also tried
Macs Fan Control
gfxCardStatus
to fix but they doesn't help.
I read many customers are now experiencing similar problems with this mac as the GPU Amd is faulty.
APPLE SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE IT or will lose many custumers
I am now waiting to be seen at Genius bar on sunday, however i read about etrecheck in this related post
http:/https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5081857?start=0&tstart=0
and meanwhile i want to hear your opinion...
Looking forward

How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro

I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?

Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro.
