I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

  • Brand new Mac Pro tower fan suddenly runs full-tilt, CPU is idle

    My Quad-Core MacPro tower is two days old. Initially, I was impressed with how quiet it was compared to my older Macbook Pro. Then on day two, for some reason it started running very loudly. It's not just a "little" loud- my wife walked into the room and asked what the noise was.
    At first I thought this was just because I was hitting the CPU a bit (importing my iPhone library into iLife '09, and running Eclipse). But I tried powering it off & letting it cool down for a few minutes to no avail; about 10 seconds after powering up, the box gets loud again. I took a look at it with the side cover off, and it seems to be the fan near the top middle, between the power supply and the disk drive.
    It can't be a dust issue, as the machine is only 2 days old (and I peeked inside anyway just to be sure- clean). I did do a software update over the past 24 hours or so, but I can't say that it occurred immediately after that. I also did a migration of my old apps and data from my MBPro, for what it's worth.
    Why is it suddenly so loud? How can I monitor the fan speed and various system temperatures?
    Thanks
    EDIT: Activity Monitor shows a virtually idle CPU; there's nothing running that ought to be causing this, as far as I can tell.

  • Brand new Mac Pro slowing down

    I have a brand new mac-pro (8 core 2.8ghz,6gb 1x350/2x500gbhd)10.5.5.I have only put about 60gb on start up disk and 200gb on my HD 1.I already get the spinning ball when i open up some app's and to send a email (say 10 words nothing else)takes 10-15 secs to send,my broadband is up to 10mb.This is connected cable no wifi.I also have to quit force programs (they just freeze)and then it doesn;t quit force, can't do nothing.I HAXE ONLY USED THIS 4 TIMES.

    The hatter,
    Thank you for the history of the posts here.
    I might add, Dano, your experience is actually quite unusual. In fact your mileage can be much worse on a PC. Viruses can wipe out ALL your data in an instant on a PC, while not on a Mac. Mac users at worse if there is something unstable usually only lose data if there is some hardware or software issue. So backing up your data is a prerequisite for owning any kind of computer.
    Your experience with numerous spinning beachballs usually is indicative of faulty RAM, an overfull hard drive (which you obviously don't have), a directory issue* (which may happen if you don't know how to shut down your machine, or are using the wrong utilities to diagnose your machine), or some other hardware problem that can be sometimes diagnosed via the hardware test discs that came with your machine as indicated here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
    That lack of an error does not mean your RAM is healthy, it merely means the error is undetectable.
    Secondly, if your version of Protools is too old, it will not run on a Mac Pro natively, so you have to make sure you are using the latest Protools. If your plugins are too old the same issue.
    Third, if your software won't download fully, it usually is an indication that either your network is not setup properly, or your network preferences in your Mac is not setup properly. Some have found that by increasing the MTU they can make the networking work more smoothly. Some have found that by using an Open DNS they have less issues, as described on http://www.opendns.org/
    So before you blame stuff on Apple lets get to the bottom of what's wrong with your machine.

    I have a brand new mac book pro, I want to plug my iPhone into it & transfer everything from it onto the mac book, pics,music etc. I'm worried if I plug my phone into the Computer I will loose everything. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?

    When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
    The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

  • I have a brand new MacBook Pro . I am trying to connect to the private wifi at my house but I need the IP address of my laptop . Everywhere I go on the laptop, the IP address is blank . How do I find the IP address if laptop is not connected to the wifi

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm trying to connect to the private wifi at my house however, I need the IP address. Everywhere I go to find it, the adress is blank. What do I do ?

    Your Mac won't have an IP address, at least not a valid IP, until you actually connect it to your home LAN. Not sure why you think you need the IP, you don't.
    To connect to your home WiFi you need to know the SSID name, IE the name of your home WiFi, and the password for it. Once you have those two things click the little antenna looking icon on the right side of the menu bar and select your home WiFi name and click connect. A dialog box will pop up asking for the password, type in the password and click OK/Connect/Whatever.

  • Brand new Mac Pro - Suddenly iOS devices won't charge

    So I've been using my brand new Mac Pro 8-core for about a week now and I've already had 1 force reboot (kernel panic, error 14 page fault) and earlier tonight, when I plugged in my iPhone 4S, its screen didn't turn on as usual after being plugged in... The "charging" icon didn't appear in the phone's menu bar, and neither Xcode nor iTunes recognize the phone as being plugged in. I'm running Snow Leopard with all the latest software updates.
    I've tried:
    plugging it into other USB ports
    using a different USB cable
    unplugging and plugging in quickly, repeatedly
    charging my iPod touch and my wife's old iPhone 3G - they won't charge either
    My "old" Mac Pro that this Mac Pro is replacing had a very similar issue... after leaving the computer on for a while and returning, usb devices wouldn't charge, apps would hang, and i'd have to cold reboot. This got progressively worse over time, and eventually "died" when the system crashed w/ a never-ending beachball and wouldn't boot back up. I'm starting to wonder if I should just return it and get an iMac or something since I have a hunch this is hardware related.
    Something also weird is that before I plugged my iPhone in, I was using Xcode and had my phone selected as a build target... even though it wasn't plugged it in. (Normally if it's not plugged in, the name will not appear in the list.) Nothing happened when I tried running my app obviously so I stopped the build, then plugged my phone in. That's when I noticed it wouldn't charge.
    THEN it gets even worse... while I was typing this, when trying different USB ports, in the process I unplugged my keyboard. After plugging my keyboard back in, it wouldn't work. Cold reboot.
    I'm really hesitant to lug this brand new Mac Pro back to the Apple store just to hear them say "The diagnostic test looks ok to me!" and have the issue crop up again a couple weeks later.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this, or have you seen anything similar with your Mac Pro? Again, I just picked this Mac Pro up last weekend at an Apple store.
    Thanks!

    I have this on both machines running 10.10.1 OS X and AE 2014.  I see on line that others are having this issue.  I think it needs a Patch ASAP. 

    Hello.  Basically I can create a  new comp  that is set to 1920 x 1080, @ 30 frames per second for 1 minute TRT.  I create a new solid layer, say red.  I hit space bar or play on the screen,  and it does not play in real time.  ITs on my Imac as well.  same OS and Same Version software.

    Well, before you hit the panic button, why don't you tell us precisely what you're doing when AE plays at 17fps -- the keys you hit, the buttons you click to begin play.

  • FCP won't launch on new Mac Pro Tower

    I just got a new Mac Pro Tower and installed Final Cut Studio, but Final Cut Pro won't launch. It just hangs on the opening splash screen and I can't even force quit out of it. Same thing happens if I try to open an FCP project. I have run all the updates, trashed prefs, etc.
    Any ideas?

    OK....so I think I found the problem even though it makes no sense to me. It seems that if I have my DVCam deck (which is connected via a 4-pin firewire to 9-pin firewire cable) powered on while I try to launch FCP, it causes FCP to hang on the splash screen. If I turn the deck off, and launch FCP, it launches perfectly.....and it continues to work after I power the deck on. Very bizarre behavior but I have tested it about 5 times now and it works fine when the deck is powered off and hangs when the deck is powered on. Anybody else have a simliar issie?

  • Rendering slowed to a grinding halt CS6 on brand new mac pro...

    Unbelievably and excruciatingly painful slow rendering in AE CS6 on a brand new Mac Pro.
    My Pro:
    3.5 Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon E5
    32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144MB
    OSX 10.9.2
    1) Internal 500GB SSD - (using 90gb for AE media cache)
    External Thunderbolt drives:
    2) 2 TB WD Black Caviar - (hosting all project assets)
    3) 2 TB WD Black Caviar - (rendering destination)
    Running After Effects CS6
    The footage in my comp is just a bunch of illustrator files, and shape layers. There are 2 videos, but removing them does not improve the rendering. All the illustrator files are RGB. I am using effects on layers, but nothing out of the ordinary, a few displacement maps, some grain (non animated), some distort mesh (pre-rendering the distort mesh helped a little, but pretty sure there is something REALLY wrong here)
    When its rendering, and I look at Activity Monitor, 85% of the CPU is still idle! I'm using Rendering Multiple Frames... 6 Cores for AE - 4 for others. 3GB for AE.
    Of the 32gb RAM saving 4 for others applications.
    For 25 seconds of footage, the task bar says something like 6 hours to render... and then it doesn't even finish. Even pre-rendering the distort mesh in a 4 layer pre-comp, for 25 seconds, took 25 minutes.
    Someone please help, I'm not sure whats going on, but something is horribly wrong.

    Not new to AE. Was rendering with animation codec, and have also tried using pro res 4444 to see if it will help.
    comp size 1920 x 1080 @ 60fps
    Turned off RMFS - and while this helps with the RAM preview (also setting the RAM preview to skip 1)
    I was able to render using pro res 4444 @ 50% resolution @ 50% frame rate @ draft quality in 11 min (25 seconds) after pre-rendering 2 pre-comps.
    Which is much better, but really don't understand why it could be taking so long.
    I want to be able to RAM preview @ 60 fps - but every time RMFS is turned on it throws errors like "AE needs 2 or more playback frames" and I've also seen the error about it skipping frames and to allocate more memory to background processes. But no other programs running...
    And I made a mistake: 12 cores, 8 for AE and 4 for other apps is what I had RMFS set to.

  • Extremely Loud Fan Noise Brand new mac pro 12 core 2.93

    The fans of my brand new mac pro start making a sound like a wind tunnel several times a day, and won't stop till I shut off the mac.
    Fan stats are like this when it makes that sound:
    PCI  799rpm
    BOOSTA  5048rpm
    BOOSTB  5188rpm
    Exhaust  2709rpm
    Power sup.. 599rpm
    INTAKE 2697rpm
    Anybody any idea what could be wrong?

    Hi, I had the same problems. I had to have replaced the fan that was broken.

  • BRAND NEW Mac Pro won't boot from Leopard DVD, kernel panics!

    I just received my brand new Mac Pro today. It's a BTO machine with the upgrade to the NVIDIA 8800GT, a second optical drive and a Mac OS X Server license. The system has Mac OS X server installed on the default 320GB drive. I decided to use the server license as a virtual machine running in Leopard client. So, I installed 2 new 500GB Seagate 7200.11 (Retail) drives in the machine, zeroed them out in prep for installing Leopard client.
    At this point, I pop in a freshly-purchased retail copy of the Leopard DVD and restart. When I try to boot from the DVD and install Leopard to one of the new Seagate drives, I get kernel panics - need to restart the machine. Also tried booting from the Mac OS X Server DVD and this too only caused kernel panics. The DVD's read perfectly from within Mac OS X Server and boot from hard disks is flawless.
    I spent an hour on the phone with a level 2 tech at Apple - Tried swapping out the RAM and moving around the DIMMS to no avail. I am at a loss to what this could be. Seems to be a hardware issue and the tech thought it was likely a problem with one of the memory risers but couldn't send replacements. Anyone else with a similar issue?
    This is my first Mac and it looks like this Mac Pro is going back for an exchange and I'll have to wait yet another 10-12 days for a replacement to arrive. Bummer.
    Am I missing something simple here? Does this seem to be a hardware issue?
    If anyone has any ideas before I ship this one back, please write!!!

    New Mac Pros will not install the Leopard retail disc. They will only install the Leopard disc which shipped with them labeled Mac Pro. That has always been true. Macs can only boot the system that ships on DVD in the box that came with them, and newer retail releases. They can never boot from an older retail release than what shipped in the box.

  • Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

    I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

    That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
    Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
    Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
    Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
    ¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up?   that could be a backlight failure.
    The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

  • HT201364 I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
    This MacBook uses a special OS X Mavericks version which is newer than the one available in the Mac App Store, so you cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store now. Instead, if you need to reinstall OS X, you will have to do this through Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting up).
    You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your Mac uses the same OS X version as all other Macs. This may happen when Apple launches OS X 10.9.2
