Export ProRes on New MacPro running Mavrick OS.

Source material was mix of ProRes and ProResHQ QuickTime - 1280x720 and maybe 1920x1080 on the same timeline.
Some of the frames were corrupted - there is picture but it's just digital garbage on screen. The only workaround we found was to turn off Premiere's access to the GPU. We made sure we had the latest version of Premiere and I think we might have tried updating the drivers for the GPUs in the Mac as well, but neither solved the problem. Turns out we are seeing the problem intermittently on our program monitor as well, not just on export from the Premiere timeline.

Mega thread about the topic is here. It's a known issue, and it appears that OS X version 10.9.4 may fix it, when it's finally released by Apple.

Is the new MacPro running smoothly with Photoshop?

My current Mac is way too slow, old, etc. to handle the large files that I'm working on. The new MacPro would be great but are there major kinks and glitches that still need to get ironed out?
Thank you!

I don't have a new Mac Pro, but Adobe appears to be working with them and fixing what they find.
In Photoshop 14.2 Adobe enabled taking full advantage of the FirePro GPU in the new Mac Pro (but not both GPUs at the same time, yet).
In Photoshop 14.2.1 Adobe fixed a stability bug related to the Camera Shake Reduction filter on the new Mac Pro.
So it looks like a couple of new Mac Pro issues have already been taken care of.

Which SAS 15k rpm internal audio hard disk for new MacPro running Logic Pro

For my new Logic MacPro machine, I'm planning to have a 7200 rpm drive for programs and a 300gb 15k rpm drive for audio.
Are there any other drives out there that I could buy which are as good (and quite) as the £510 one that Apple supply, but for a little less cash?
Cheers

Save your money on the 15k drive.. You won't need it. The SATA drives are plenty fast enough, unless you are wanting to stream HD vision along with your session, in which case another drive in one of the spare SATA bays will kick along just fine.

I'm trying to launch Photoshop CS4 Extended (which I've used many times in the past) on my new MacPro running Mavericks. I get error message 150:30

I tried all eight solutions in your menu, none of which worked. Of course, none seems to apply to Mavericks.

Well, have you actually installed it properly? Fixed the permissions on the Library folder? Your info is at best vague and you need to clarify what you have actually done so far.

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
TIA,

Thanks, Martin.
Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
Thanks again,

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

New MacPro server can run headless?

I am about to pull the trigger on a new MacPro server with Lion server. I assume after I use a monitor/keyboard for initial setup like I have done with my Mini server, that I can put this beast in a rack and run it headless? It will not complain about no keyboard or monitor on power up?
thanks in advance.

Yep - the system doesn't care about a monitor or keyboard to run.
Most tasks can be performed via ssh over a network connection. You also have a built-in VNC server which you can use with any of the VNC clients out there, or Apple's Remote Desktop application.

New MacPro..I'm getting crazy because of errors

hey people,
i bought mid last year the new macpro, the lowspec config but with 16GBRam and the D700's instead of the d300's. running 10.9.5
i'm a freelance director and editor, and the decision why i bought the macpro, was the power, portability and the promised stability.
mostly when i do heavier grading in blackmagics davinci resolve (which is handled as a reference on the official macpro website!) i get faulty corrupt lines on the export.
see here:
http://i.imgur.com/qDtQqBc.jpg
you see the corrupt line in the picture?
but now i'm getting these lines also when exporting from premiere pro CC - ProRes 720p. just the editing - no grading, effects. etc. this just cant be possible..and its driving me crazy.
you can see here examples:
http://i.imgur.com/0WL0fOJ.png
http://i.imgur.com/2t0hpGq.png
http://i.imgur.com/CZxIQXN.png
it mostly appeared in davinci when i did heavy grading and the machine became hot. but with premiere now is ridicoulus..as you know as a director/editor i have to deliver on point..but with export results like these it is now always possible...
so i researched the internet for that problem, and many others where facing that too. they said it is especially a problem with the d700's. and only a complete hardware swap (only the gpu's of course) had solve their problems. i went to the apple store, told the guy my problem and also the internet research that only hardware swap will help. so he ordered the ne d700's that the technician can put them in. next day the technician told me this problem cannot be the gpu's as they did their special-hyper-super-hardware tests and there was no problem with the gpu's..so i got my MacPro back without any changes etc.
he told me i should update davinci resolve..but now the problem appears in premiereCC too..
maybe some of you guys know what to do? this machine costs a **** of money, and it should guarantee to run stable...
best

TomWheel-
Discussing the bigger issues:
So far, all we know for sure is that some users seem to have a problem with these specific packages on certain Mac Pro late 2013s (but not on Apple Final Cut Pro-X). Maybe its is just my diagnostics background, but I think this problem smacks of a Hardware problem or a design problem (possibly a graphics chip to display RAM problem) that is particularly vicious at higher temperature operation, such as after graphics-computing for hours.
I also find it very telling that the original design by AMD featured Error-correcting RAM, and that the final design for Apple did not include that. [Did AMD see problems in developing this chip that caused them to use Error-correcting RAM initially? It makes me wonder if the chip-to-RAM margins are cut too close, and that some parts of some chips are not quite fast enough for some RAMs under high-heat conditions.]
It appears from this anecdote, "we won't change your graphics cards because our diagnostic says they're fine" that Apple has produced a better diagnostic, and essentially turned it back to the software Vendors saying "our Hardware works, now what is your problem?"
It is shameful that neither the software vendors nor Apple have SOLVED this problem, but it seems to me that the onus should now be on the software vendors to provide resources and work with Apple and press for a definitive diagnosis and solution on this problem. I think there really is a problem in some of these Macs.
Practical considerations:
I suggest you use something like SMC fan control to boost the base fan speed before setting out on a complex graphics job and see if it does any better.

New MacPro 8 Core 12gig or 16 gig of ram?

Hello All,
I want to upgrade my memory but I am wondering what to buy? Should I get the (6) 2gigs? or the (8) 2gigs. I keep reading about not to fill up all 8 but only 6 for better performance?
Or should i just get the (4) 2gig each stick? This way I only loose 4 (1)gig chips. I am so lost.
Or should i just fill it up with (4) 2 gigs and leave (4) 1 gigs to give me a total of 12gig?
Thanks

I'm not an expert in AE (I use Motion more), but you're right: AE doesn't use more than 3GB +per render instance+. That's the key. AE CS4 will use all the RAM you have if you are maxing out all 8 processors - up to 3GB a thread I believe, when rendering. Bare Feats has more info on this, so check out that site.
Now just building your project, previewing, etc. doesn't use more than 3GB AFAIK, nor does any 32-bit program. But when you run compressor, or the new AE multiprocessor render engine in CS4, it spawns multiple 32-bit instances, each of which can use (potentially) 3GB of RAM. That's where the real power of 8-core computing comes into play and, frankly, is one of the few reasons to own such a beast. That's also where your RAM comes in... the more the better. Where you have to think is whether 6 sticks being faster than 8 outweighs the advantage of having 12GB vs 16. (32 seems prohibitively expensive right now as 4GB DDR3 modules are insanely expensive).
In general use, we're lucky to get use of 4-cores, never mind 2. These Mac Pros and their extra processors and RAM are best used for insane multitasking (multiple programs that use a few GB each and a processor or two), or mega rendering/calculation programs like AE, Compressor, Mathematica, XCode, etc. Personally, I render a lot of HD video into H.264 from ProRes. The MacPro is a no brainer in that regard.

Controller - this should probably be a new thread but you sound like you know what you are talking about. Currently I have 8 GB of RAM, and I was thinking if I should get another 8 GB to make AE render more quickly. But I read that AE really doesn't use more then 3 GB - so now I'm confused. I have a pretty powerful machine (at least I think it is) Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB of RAM, but some of the effects I use in my compositions just take forever for a quick ram preview. Would getting another 8 GB of RAM help this? What are you preference settings on AE CS4 regarding previewing and rendering? I would really appreciate any enlightenment you can give to me on this issue. Thanks.

Problem with Export Project as New Library

Getting some behavior from Aperture that I do not understand.
I am running Aperture 3.5.1 on OSX 10.9.1 on both a MacPro and a MacBookPro(Retina).
Both machines are believed to be completely up-to-date software-wise (no indication in App store that software updates are available. i don't know how else to look.).
I imported (Nikon D800) raw images from an SD card to MacBookPro Aperture Library (which contains few images), performed adjustments (and "shared" some with my SmugMug account).
Then I selected the Project that contained my images, chose File, Export, Project as New Library (in order to move the adjusted images to my MacPro, where my "real" Aperture Library resides). (first time i have attempted such a workflow). I selected all 3 options (Copy originals . . ., Copy previews . . ., Show alert) and clicked Export Library.
I copied the resulting file to my MacPro. After choosing File, Import, Library (in Aperture on the MacPro), I see it "Merging", and then the project in question appears in the Library on the MacPro.
The problem is that each image has a message at the top of the Adjustments pane: "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing", and they all come into the receiving library with no adjustments, and no previews - not even the built-in preview that a raw file should carry (the images show in the viewer as _really_ flat, gray - very strange, i have never seen this appearance before, though I routeinely use raw format).
Trying to troubleshoot, I went back to the MacBookPro and closed Aperture, then double-clicked the Library on the desktop that had resulted from the export process (containing only one project).
Same situation. All of the images think they were processed on older raw processor (even though this library is being opened on the same computer that did the processing).
Any ideas? Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood the point of exporting Projects?

There have been two problems, reported, when exporting projects as library:
In earlier versions of Aperture the exported library did not include all images, if images had been imported from Photo Stream. I cannot reproduce this bug any longer with Aperture 3.5.1.
The export could go wrong, if the aperture library needed repairing.
Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools,to fix a possible library curruption?
See this link: Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Before trying to rebuild, make sure, your backup of your Aperture library is current and in a working condition.
I see a progress bar and the .exporting library is created in the desired location.
Finally I decided to watch a project closely as it was being exported as a library and I noticed that the file size jumps up an down. I'm not an expert on how export works, but it would appear that each exported photo is overwriting the previous one.
What is the desired location? Are you exporting to your internal system drive or to an external drive? If external, how is the drive formatted? Such overwriting of files could be caused by incompatible filesystems creating conflicting pathnames. Make sure, the destination is a filesystem formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled).

Two display problems with my new MacPro! :/

I recently bought a new MacPro to replace my PowerPC, and am having some odd video problems I did not have with the old computer (yes, using same display). Here's some quick stats I think are important.
1. 30 inch Apple HD display (used on both computers.)
2. Old video card = Radeon X1900 - NEW video card = Geforce 8800 GT (came factory installed)
3. Old OS = 10.4.11 Tiger New OS = Leopard (with all current updates. Also factory installed)
4. Quicktime Pro on both systems fully updated
5. Both Machines had all updates installed at the time of this problem (which is since i got the new machine)
Here's the two problems...(btw NEITHER of these happen when the display is hooked up to the old computer. only the new MacPro with a different video card and OS)
1.) When I play back video (sometimes in FCP (all types of files), sometimes in QT (.mov), and sometimes even on youtube and vimeo (so those are .flv files!) only SOMETIMES do I get these odd vertical refresh-looking lines. It makes the video somewhat flicker and you can see them crawl upwards kind of. The odd thing tho, is if I play that art of the video over and over, at times it will happen, and at other times it will not. same file, same part. I also noticed it does NOT stay on the file when exported from FCP and burned to DVD, so I'm thinking it is purely playback.
2.) Some files when played back in quicktime will get extremely choppy. (Locally played files). I will then click the desktop to make finder the front most selected program...and the files will then play smooth. if I select the QT window again, it will get choppy and flicker again.
I feel like I have a refresh rate problem, or maybe even a driver problem. The thing is, of course the drivers are not updated outside of auto updates, and I have installed everything available there.
When I open up my display settings, the refresh rate box is grayed out...so changing the rate isn't possible. Also, with my old computer/video card, I had an ATI control panel...the geforce does not have one...only the build in OSX display control panel.
Has anyone heard of this? I have posted in a few different places, and have received absolutely no replies. It's really frustrating, and sitting on the phone for hours with apple support to have them say "never heard of that problem" or have me lug the **** thing into a apple store and be without my computer and unable to work doesn't sound fun either.
it's not stopping me from doing anything..it's just annoying and frustrating cause I can't make it stop. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the leopard drivers that hasn't been addressed yet? I dunno.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Damion

UPDATE ::
In reading an old solution on how to get rid of the dancing pixels I get every once in a long while on this display, I downloaded SwitchResX and am using the demo to test and see if switching the refresh rate to 58khz will help in the line problem...and lo and behold...it kinda does. it is now only noticeable on fast moving action when put into full screen mode.
The QT flicker problem has NOT gone away...but I'm expecting that the horizontal lines running vertical are a refresh rate problem as I had thought.
My question, anyone know if apple is aware/working on this?
Also, why is the refresh rate not changeable with the 20 inch HD display settings in the display control panel??
I'd much rather use OSX to control my display than a 3rd party application! :/

Mail rules not copied to new MacPro via iCloud

Hi All,
I have a new MacPro that is replacing an older MacPro that was running Mavericks 10.9.5. I also have a Macbook Air running Mavericks 10.9.5.
For a host of reasons, I decided not to simply use Migration Assistant on this new MacPro, but to copy individual plist files for apps such as Mail. The two plists that I was interested in recreating on this new setup were the MessageRules plist and the SmartFolders plist. Interestingly these two kinds of preferences seem to be shared across MacOS devices via iCloud.
However, in both instances (iCloud syncing or manually copying over the old plist file), I cannot get my install of Apple Mail to read the plists. Nor are the shared preferences shared with this computer. Apple tech support was not much help saying their hands are tied because of Apple Engineering. Never heard that one before.
Thanks in advance to whomever can spare me from having to manually recreate a hundred or so rules and 20 or so smart mailboxes.

The messages coming to mail app. on my iMac & macbook pro were not showing up on my 5 devices if the sender had a "move to" a folder command on the 'rules' in Mail 'Preferences'.
After trying every suggestion I could find on this forum in addition to some of my own, I realized the only thing that worked was my changing the "move to" command to "copy to" command. This work around resulted in duplicating all the emails, one in the "inbox" and the "copied" one to it's proper folder ! When I proceeded to delete the emails from the "inbox" as I had set up the "copy to" rule and they were all in their proper folders. I came across another change to the mail system after iOS 8.1 ; if one deletes the emails in the "inbox" on the mac they get deleted across the board from all your devices and vice versa !! I was on telephone with Apple "Senior" techs for 2 frustrating days and eventually they said there is nothing they can do, it had been changed by the "Engineers", something to do with changing "pop" to "imap" protocol. Now I have to put up with all my email being in the inbox with no option to organize them or delete them if I want them to appear on my devices. This is outrageous !!

HT1338 i have a new macpro. I am trying to install Office 2010 Professional CD but it doesn't open ... or if it does I do no know where to find it or how to begin the install process.

I have a new MacPro. I am trying to install a Office 2010 Professional cd. After I insert CD nothing happens. I hear the hard drive run for a couple of seconds, but still nothing happens. I am used to using a Dell notebook and the control panel in Windows is great. How do I get cd to install ? What steps do I need to follow to install ?
