Why does Magic Mouse lag with new Mac Pro?

My magic mouse worked great on the old G5. Works fine an mini mac. Unusable on the brand new mac pro.
I have a $10 laptop mouse from an old pc that is wireless through a tiny usb connector that works 1000 times better.
Why?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I have three MM. One just does not work well. The other two are fine with the 2013 Mac Pro. Sometimes you have to clean the optical lens and sometimes they just don't work on any machine.

Odd Wireless Mighty Mouse behavior with new Mac Pro?

Hi,
I have a brand new Mac pro and Wireless Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard.
The mouse however is not operating properly, it is jerky and slow to respond on a intermittent regular basis. I can move the cursor around the screen but it will stutter and jerk slowly then pick up ok?
I had the mouse and keyboard with my iMac and it worked fine. I have run all updates and re-installed but to no avail. The keyboard is fine.
I suspect it's a hardware issue with my new mac Pro but i'd love it if someone has any other possible causes.
Thanks.

Hi, there's a quite a few people with similar problems, including myself.
My keyboard likes to drop it's connection for no apparent reason, which in turn likes to mess up my mouse and cause it to stutter for a while. Pairing up new devices can do this too, I've found.
It's been thought that some Mac Pro's came with their WiFi and BT wires incorrectly fitted, if you have a search you should find a link to the tutorial if you want to try switching them around.
That said, it didn't make any difference to my BT keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse, so I switched them back.
I've been hoping for a software fix, but no joy so far, glad I got a three year warranty as standard.

Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse. Not sure why.
I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk? Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

Does anyone know if a new Mac Pro needs to come out soon?

Hey everybody..
I'm using mac pro from 2007 and i want to replace it for a new one.
everytime i bought a mac product, 2-3 months after a newer came out (it was like that with my macbook pro, iPhone 1,3,3gs,4s, iPad2).
I guess all i want is to know if apple will ever put out a new mac pro?
is it still apple's flagship?
I don't want to buy mac pro as it is because a lot of new technology is missing, like usb 3, thunderbolt, HDMI ect.
I thing apple didn't came out with new mac pro from 2009.
Please Help,
Niv

There was no new model, it was just a change in default processor from 2.8 to 3.2GHz, that was all, and it is otherwise totally the same, still runs 10.6.8 if needed too.
The need for TB is miniscule on a workstation. There are some attempts to get storage arrays but then you already can add SAS/SATA, and you can install higher end graphic video like GTX 670 if needed. More video processing than any TB - which is a nice product, just more aimed it seems toward notebook users and such.
And there are the constant where is TB threads.
Intel is even reconsidering their Xeon roadmap due to when they can have new models, DDR4 around the corner.
If there is a desire that is needed it is probably SATA 3.1 if anything.

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

Hello Everyone:
I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate. Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
Thank you in advance.

1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
Yes.
Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
Not if you want full resolution. You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want to be as close to the display.

VERY upset with new Mac Pro

I just spent over $4,000.00 for a brand new Mac Pro, 8-Core, Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” processors.
I'm still at the point where I may not be blaming this new computer 100%, but when you upgrade to this extent you expect everything to go faster. You certainly don't expect for things to take longer.
I upgraded from a G5 (not exactly sure what model) running 10.4.11, couldn't go any higher.
My biggest complaint is it takes LONGER to do things!!?? I feel like I'm back in 1999 or 2000. To open an Excel file takes, no kidding, 3-4 minutes. To open a Word file, about 3-4 minutes. I have the newest version of Office there is. Dreamweaver CS5 is slower than ever and jumpy, buggy, what ever word you wanna use. Sending files over to an external server takes 200-300% longer.
I'm really not sure what is going on. Maybe a font conflict issue as I brought all my fonts over from old computer.
Thanks for any advice.

Sorry, and of course wish you had asked us first. And read through
http://macperformanceguide.com/index.html - check "topics" there are 100+ with guides to buying, upgrade etc.
One tip: Do a clean install on another drive
Don't migrate applications, install them fresh
make sure everything is current
Your Mac boots by default and requires 64-bit drivers for 64-bit kernel mode
The idea is more cores isn't faster, faster cores are, and even stock 2.8 4-core is a worthy system. Next choice: 3.2 4-core or sweetest of all is 3.33GHZ 6-core
Add RAM to 6 x 4GB or 3 x 8GB for good measure.
Avoid any plug-in or app that is PowerPC and needs to use Rosetta.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
Fonts have been known to conflict, duplicates, even corrupt.
Of course hard to resist migrating. Or taking time, but G5 owners have had to redo everything and that does work.
A test: do a clean install on another hard drive, do the updates, try that and see how well it goes.
Keep boot drive to just OS + applications and mini-home folder
2nd drive for media library, data
3rd scratch, with a small 30GB Mac OS X just for repairs and emergency use
Try a new user account.
See if you are booting in 32-bit mode
Repair your system with FSCK
Do Safe Mode once
Any cables, peripherals, out of date drivers for printers, external hard drives.
Hard drives that were formatted by G5 using Apple Partition Map should be reformatted to GUID. All. If you brought your old G5 system drive over, move the files to a data drive and reformat. Don't leave the OS from G5 around.

Premeire CC 2014 not playing clips or timeline with New Mac Pro Late 2013 D700

I have used premeire cs5 and cs6 and never had this issue
I just bought a new mac pro and installed the trial of Premeire cc 2014
I import clips like normal, set my sequence and the play button does not work
in the viewer or in the timeline. Can seem to make anything work
also I am on 10.9.5 which from what I can see should be fine.

Hi Ernie,
Try this: create a new user with Admin privileges and see if you can get Premiere Pro to playback video once more.
Thanks,
Kevin

Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

Hi for everyone!
Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
Thanks!
With a big hope for a help!
Alexey

Hi!
Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
Personally for me - it is great news!
Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)

Will FCP 7 Work with New Mac Pros?

Any indication of I will still be able to work in FCP7 on the new Mac Pro 2013? I'm not too keen on FCPX at the moment. Thanks for any info.

All true, however, FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) does run with the current OSX (10.8.4) which is two full versions beyond the last supported one (10.6.8).
So, the real answer is, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

Migration Assistant and permissions issues with new Mac Pro

Hi There,
I've not had any significant issues with Migration Assistant in the past but I can't create a reliable system with my new Mac Pro.
After using Migration Assistant during the initial setup, my user account wasn't even transferred. I tried restarting but in the end, I followed these instructions to reset and run the assitant again: http://stationinthemetro.com/2013/11/10/make-mavericks-re-run-the-setup-assistan t
I've just finished running it for a second time, and while the user account is now on my new system, there are so many permissions issues that the system is unusable (I can't even run Safari). Creative cloud, 1Password, safari, Dropbox are all apps that give me Disk i/o or permissions errors.
If I look in the user folder, many directories within it have a red minus icon. I've tried fixing permissions using Disk Utility but something is not right.
In the past, the new system just boots like the old one but this time round, it asked me to create an account after Migration Assistant had finished - is this normal? I used the same username and password as before but I'm not sure Migration Assistantis working properly.
Does anyone know a full-proof way of fixing and transferring my account without having to spend hours downloading OSX for a full erase and install?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply,
I didn't understand exactly what to put into AppleScript sorry (never used it before) - so I just ran the following from the Terminal:
$ echo $UID
$ sudo chown -R 503 ~
And restarted - everything works now - thanks heaps.
What had happened and is this something I did or did Migration Assistant just get confused?
I have 3 new Mc Pros to setup on Monday so just want to ensure those are hassle free.
Cheers
Ben

Any Way to "Start Over" With New Mac Pro?

Hi,
I just got a new Mac Pro yesterday and did the Migration Assistant to transfer my files from my old G4. However, when it first came up and asked in Setup if I wanted to transfer, I wasn't quite ready (didn't have the old computer connected yet) so I chose to do it later. When I did get connected and did the transfer (and waited SO "patiently" overnight for it to finish!) - I discovered it had not done what I wanted! I wanted it to incorporate my old computer's info into my main Account on the new computer, but it created a 2nd account instead!
At this point, I don't know whether to keep it like this or try to start over. But my question is - is there some way to "reset" the new Mac Pro to start all over and let me do the transfer within the Setup so it will keep everything in just one account? (Short of reinstalling the whole OS from scratch, that is.)
Thanks!

Install your applications fresh, don't migrate.
If you have a FW drive, that is one way, sneaker net works fine. Assume you don't have an SATA drive from the G4 (if you did it would need to be reformatted).
I would never update or alter the system without first making a backup, but reinstall from DVD should be fast. It can be even faster if you restore the DVD to a small 12GB partition and boot off that, install takes under 10 minutes!
I've seen on MacFixit a tutorial on how the method you used does create a 2nd account, which is why I would have the drive directly connected.
You can also use a program to synch your home folder. I did everything manually, by hand, went through home preferences really carefully and pruned out any old stuff.
