How can Mac Pro (late 2013) create a WiFi network for Mac Books to connect to internet?

I am moving my Mac-Pro (late 2013) to a garden office.  I have an ethernet cable to connect it to the house network.  I also have a Mac Book Air which will only connect to a network by WiFi.  I can use this Mac-Pro to create a WiFi network and the MacBook can talk to the Mac Pro over this WiFi network.  But the Mac Book does not see the local network let alone the Internet, both of which are seen on the Mac Pro.
Is there a way that I can connect the created WiFi network to one of the two Ethernet cards in the Mac Pro?
Or what?
Tim

I have half cracked it.
For some reason the first step it to turn internet sharing off.
Then internet sharing can be configured and the wireless network set up and given a password.
Then, and then only, turn internet sharing back on and turn WiFi ON.  All this is on the Mac-Pro (late 2013).
Now the Mac Air sees the new network and can log on and connect to the WAN internet locations, at least via Safari.
BUT if I use Finder on the Air, it will connect to the Mac Pro but it will not display what is on its disc. Though I can do screen sharing.  Odd.
Also Air-Drop has stopped working, so there is no means of transferring files between the Pro and the Air.
I am going away now for a few days and will revisit this on my return.
Thanks for your help.

  • How Do I format my Mac Pro Late 2013

    the mac pro late 2013 is well known the be equipped with a PCIe SSD .... Will the Erase function in disk utility with one time pass Zeros work or will it damage the drive? Thanks

    Zero is the same when using a SSD as doing writes, so basically you just filled the drive which now needs to be restored and used cells "trimmed.:"
    Damage, no, but SSDs have spare cells, can manage quite well, and you don't need to try to force it to reallocate cells.
    Clone the drive.
    If you play around with Windows and Boot Camp or have created partitions you want to remove and want to start over, you still would not want to zero the drive.

  • Can iMac 27 late 2009 enter TDM connected to a Mac Pro late 2013?

    I'm trying to get an iMac 27 late 2009 to enter target display mode when connected to a Mac Pro late 2013.
    I tried with Apple's Thunderbolt cable and pressing Command + F2 on the iMac did nothing.
    So I bought a Mini DisplayPort cable, and now Command + F2 makes the iMac's screen turn black for a second and then back.
    After rebooting, before logging in, if I press Command + F2 it actually works for about 2 seconds and then back to the iMac's screen. After this, if I keep trying it just flashes black.
    So, my question is, has anyone managed to connect this two devices?
    Should I buy another cable? Format the iMac? Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on both machines.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know what more I can add to the initial post.
    The second Mini DisplayPort cable that I tried is Belkin, I don't think there are better cables for this, since Apple is not selling it anymore.
    I did mentioned that if I restart the iMac, before logging in with any user, pressing command + F2 or simply connecting the cable will actually work, it shows up as a second display on the Mac Pro, I can move the mouse pointer on the iMac. But after about 2 seconds the iMac exits Target Display Mode, and after this pressing Command + F2 will only turn iMac's monitor black for about a second and not entering TDM anymore.
    I even checked the firmware versions and both are up to date according to this.

  • How Will iMovie Run on New Mac Pro (late 2013)?

    Is iMovie v10 ever likely to be upgraded to support the multiple-cores in the new Mac Pro (late 2013) the way Final Cut Pro X does? If not, will a fast iMac run iMovie about as well as the new Mac Pro (late 2013)?

    No one here knows what Apples plans are for iMovie?
    I think it's fair to say everything will run faster on the new MacPro but I don't think it's a reason by itself to upgrade hardware.
    iMovie 10.0.9 runs just fine on my 2010 iMac.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashing on brand new Mac Pro (late 2013)

    Such a big disappointment, yesterday our brand new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with OS X version 10.10.2 was installed and Premiere Pro CC is constantly crashing. One of the problems is that when I open a brand new project and before I add any content to a new sequence I just want to position the video track higher so I can see more audio tracks, the program crashed. I did it several times (new projects, new sequences) every time the same crashing program.
    Deinstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it again, but no luck.
    Tomorrow I created a whole new account with administrator rights on the Mac, the issue as described above was gone but at some point in time the program crashed again, and when I reopen the project, with two sequences open (one with footage and one empty) and I want to close the empty one, Premiere is crashing again. So I can't continue my work on this project and need to start over again....
    This is the error report that I'm getting....
    I hope somebody can help me on this because it's very frustrating...
    Thanks in advance

  • Help! Multiple Displays not Working. (Mac Pro late 2013).

    Hardware:
    Late 2013 Mac Pro
    Processor: 3.7 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory: 12 GB 1867 MHz DDR ECC
    Graphics: AMD FirePro D300 2048 M8
    Software: OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    Displays:
    4 LG Electronics S-Class 25UM64-S 25-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor's
    Display Connection:
    6 Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (4K)
    Issue:
    First of all, thank you in advance for taking the time to help!
    I just picked up this Mac Pro (as stated above) and I am having quite the time trying to get the monitors to display properly (or at all!)!
    Everything is hooked up properly (i'd like to think so), i've run through most of the trouble shooting methods I can think of and have found online... and still, 2 of the 4 displays do not show! The Mac Pro is not recognizing two of them.
    I was told that the MacPro could recognize up to 6 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI monitors, however, only 2 are working properly. Is it because of the Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters? Should I be running MDP to DP cables instead? The monitors support DisplayPort input's, however, they also allow for PIP hence the use of 6 MDP adapters to HDMI. (2 of the monitors are using the built in picture in picture split screen. So 2 HDMI inputs each).
    Really pulling my hair on this one.. I figured it would be plug and play.. at least, that's how apple USED to be.
    Any ideas?! Am I simply needing to use the MDP to DP cables instead of MDP to HDMI? Please help!
    Thank you!

    See:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support
    Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
    Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adaptersuch as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
    Thus, use a display port to mini display port cable

  • Cannot connect between a Mac Pro (late 2013) and a MBP and vice versa

    Cannot connect to Macbook Pro from Mac Pro late 2013. I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can screen share either way. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are definitely correct however.
    I have no firewall on. Both devices are using the most recent OS.

  • Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

    Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
    Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
    I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
    What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
    You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
    You can connect:
    Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
    Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
    Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
    Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

  • How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer

    How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer or even send this document in a mail to anyone ?

    Only Pages, Preview, Pages for iCloud beta, and Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 can open native Pages v5.2.2 (.pages) documents. Sending a Pages v5.2.2 document to someone without Pages v5.2.2 is futile.
    If you are using Gmail or Dropbox, you will need to right-click on that Pages document, and then choose compress from the contextual menu. You can then attach filename.pages.zip, because it appears as a single document, and not a folder.
    Pages v5.2.2 has a Share button on the Toolbar. Providing your document is already in iCloud storage, you can Send a Link to iCloud via the following:
    The Share toolbar icon also allows you to Send a Copy to Email, Messages, and AirDrop. This will present you with the document export sheet, the same one you get if you chose to File > Export To menu item, as the alternative.
    If you are sharing document content with an MS Office user, then the document you want to send them is either a Word .docx, or .doc. If they want just a read-only view of your content, send a PDF, for improved cross-platform exchange.

  • After Effects is NOT using the full Twelve GB of memory on my Mac Pro late 2013 dual video cards

    I would like to know if there is a reason why AE CC12 and CC13 (2014) is not using the full amount of video card memory on my MP late 2013. It's six GB per freaking card I invested in and its not accessing it.
    Is there a work around this issue?

    Why shouldn't it. When I upgraded to this new Mac Pro late 2013 with its dual video cards. Premier turned into a blasting fast editor. I no longer need to render my edited cuts and the scrubbing of preview and timeline footage is phenomenal. The only performance boost I've seen in AE with this new system is in rendering and I can't even say its double as fast in comparison to Premier or Encoder and its an 8-Core system with 32GB of ram. Everything else is flying.
    So again to answer your why should it. I rebuttal with "Why shouldn't it". The other two mentioned programs are using GPU resources to improve performance why is AE so behind the curve.
    I'm not the only one asking why. I was in the audience at a Dmala meeting here in LA with Todd Kopriva and Al Mooney previewing AE and Premier 2014.
    People kept asking Todd about performance boost in between questions about new features. Todd finally just asked what do you prefer a couple of new features or performance boost. Everyone wanted performance boost over new features. If you think I'm making this up go ask Todd Kopriva.

  • Running 4 screens as one with Mac Pro Late 2013

    Hello there, got a Mac Pro late 2013 edition driving 4 60" 1080P screens in a 2x2 configuration.  Trying to make those work as one 4k display.  Was able to get it working to allow us to display a page across all 4 displays.  But have not been able to get a video to display across all 4.  Our current  configuration has also been very finnicky and anytime we move the webpage around, it snaps the window to be full screen across the bottem two displays. 
    Anyone have any idea's as to how to make this work the way we are wanting to?

    "Fullscreen" is a garbage feature ported from IOS and the iPhone, the land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing -- AVOID it at all costs.
    This will work as long as you stretch a Window across multiple screens, and turn OFF all hints that you want multiple, independent screens.
