10.8.2 Mac Pro 2009 4 Apple Monitors = doesn't keep the display order and configuration. Please Help me!!
Guys i have a Mac Pro 2009 with 4 monitors attached.
Since i upgrade to 10.8, then to 10.8.1 and now to 10.8.2 my Mac Pro every time it starts, cannot remember the order and appearance of my displays so ihave to reorder them every single time.
Can somebody tell me what to do???
Please help me either wise i ma going to burn it!
I have brand new 10.8.2 Mac Tower with two matching video cards ordered from Apple directly and have the same problem. It wont save the display settings and also cant seem to tell which video card is which either.
In addition, the screen display images if loaded from a personal folder, is also not remembered after startup.
Please advise us what to do, Apple!!!! This is urgent for me. I am proifessional user and this machine is for use on live projection shows. We put a ton of money into this machine and it can't even remeber the displays! Not very amusing.

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it
If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why ?
The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem -
My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor.
My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor. It coincided with plugging in an Epson printer via usb - while the system was running. Pretty dumb maybe? Could I have damaged the video card? Anyone ideas? Thanks
Howdy Le Batch,
I was looking into the issue you are seeing here, and came across a helpful article for this specific situation. It's named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays and can be found here:
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)
It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

My apple watch doesn't vibrate when I receive a message please help
HI
my Apple watch doesn't vibrate to notify me of a message. Please help
thanks
simonThere's another thread on this subject that helped me. Assuming your iPhone and Watch notifications are all on...
Reset the iPhone and Watch. Other users have unpaired and repaired the Watch.
While I didn't have to unpair the watch, resetting both devices solved my problem (no notifications at all on the watch).
To override the iPhone settings as a troubleshooting step, I used custom settings in the Watch App to ensure the sound, vibration, taptic all hit my watch.
I also set the repeat to 3 times...alert me three times if I don't acknowledge the "alert". I doubt I'll keep this at 3x notifications, but just experimenting to see if this is truly fixed.
Hope this helps.... -

I want to connect my MacBook Pro (2009) with Apple TV

Mac Pro 2009 - To keep or not to keep? Only running windows
Well, with values of older Mac Pro's going down, i'm now unsure what I should do.
In total I have 3 Mac Pro's. 1 for work at my father's house (2009, 2.26 8 core), 1 there for Testing and Guests (2006 2GHz dual core).
My third one, however, I keep here for gaming. It is fully loaded, SLIpatched. It currently uses a 5970, 2 SSD (1 for windows boot, 1 for steam games). It has 4GB of the original ECC ram and 16GB of Kingston HyperX. It is unable to run OS X at the moment, but only due to the OS X hard drive being removed and the 5970.
So my dilemma is this. I only use it for gaming pretty much, and I only use it under windows 7. It is NEVER used for tasks such as Video Editing, Servers, or any other things like that. It rocks... But because I enjoy upgrading its video setup a lot, its somewhat cramped PCIE spaces dont' allow for much for me.
So... I'm wondering if it's really worth keeping, or if I should just try and sell it, and then proceed to build a PC that does well enough for my needs. I understand Mac Pros are particularly good for work based things... And this one is used for none of that, so am I sort of just wasting it by only using it for gaming? OR should I just trade my Processor palette from my current mac pro in for a Single processor palette, and install a W3690?
What I'm thinking of building is an EVGA 4 way SLI X58 based PC. Dunno if i'd take the effort to hackintosh it though, so much trouble.
So what should I do?
Should I try and sell it before it loses more value, while also adding thigns to it to up the value, and build a PC? If so, what sorts of things should I consider adding to it to try and sell it for a better value despite its age? What value do you think I could potentially get for it?
Should I just trade in for a Single CPU board, and put in a W3690? (I already upgraded the firmware with the utility to the 2010)
Remember though, I currently have 2 other mac pro's I do use for work stuff.
Thanks allCan only work with your work email if they enable IMAP support (most companies won't).
However, you can browse to Web Access via the browser and have full web support.
As for cases, there are hundreds out there. One of my fav manf. is here
http://www.vajacases.com/home/home_en.html?Prod=mobile-apple-iphone&ini=cap30ei& c=6&it=1&s=1
As for if you should keep it, well depends on what you want to use it for. It is not quite ready to replace a true Business phone, but great as a phone with constant internet access and WiFi support and iPod all in one. And in time (Feb 3rd party developers can make programs for it) more apps will come out that could make it better for Business.
As for returning it...well there is a restocking fee on the phone. Forget the terms of it though.
