10.9.3 update breaks MacPro D700 GPU for AdobeCC & Resolve

Updated my OS for my MacPro 6.1 and now Both Adobe Media Encoder CC (OpenCL) and DaVinci Resolve 10.1.5 is crippled in one foul swoop.
Adobe Media encoder freezes up on renders. And DaVinci Resolve has issues with UI and completely goes into a timeout loop when trying to render. In both cases my machine freezes up completely... UI & Everything.
Since this is hitting my apps using GPU accelleration right after the update I'd say the update was a very bad idea.
Apple, I hope you're reading this...

Indeed. BMD is working with Apple on it but they mentioned the same. 10.9.2 for now.
The only problem I have is There is NO way for me to get back to 10.9.2 . Even if I re-install a new system the update will take me to 10.9.3
Believe me. This is the last time I will do an update without having a TimeMachine backup of my system or a Clone of my System drive... I used to have it for my Mpro5.1 but have not yet settled on backing up my system for my new machine.
I actually will have to work on my MacPro 5.1 for Resolve until this is fixed.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get a 10.9.2 system on my MPro6.1 ?
Any thoughts appreciated.

After Effects reports only 2GB of RAM for Mac Pro AMD D700 GPU

Using After Effects CC 12.2 on Mac Pro 2013.
When I go to After Effects>Preferences>Previews>GPU Information the app reports that my system has an AMD D700 GPU for OpenGL. This is fine, however, it also states that the Total Memory is 2.00 GB, which is well below the 6GB of VRAM the GPU is supposed to have. Any ideas why this is happening?

I found an interesting post about enabling the GPU in CS6, the GPU Sniffer application embedded within Adobe Premiere CC reports the new Mac Pro video cards as:

Upgrade the D700 GPU

Could Apple please provide updated drivers for the D700 GPU. Maya is having some serious issues, particularly with dynamic playback. Once a simulation starts it's almost impossible to stop it, I usually have to wait until the sim reaches the end of the timeline. Interactive playback also is virtually un-usable. I've read that people running boot camp on the same Mac Pro set up have no issues with Maya, and the consensus is that there is a driver issue slowing down Maya on OSX.
This is a pro machine that has certified GPU's by Autodesk, I would expect this to run faster than my 4 year old PC and 3 year old Macbook Pro.
Please resolve this.
Kris.

I think you're getting two different technologies confused, Grant. Unless I'm misunderstanding the original poster's intent, OpenCL and OpenGL are two very different things that improve performance in different ways.
In fairness to Apple, anyone buying one of these should expect it will be a year from the original announcement or more, before devs start releasing software with OpenCL optimizations. We'll see what SIGGRAPH brings next week or the week after. That will be very telling as to 3D developers' intentions, and whether they think the new Mac Pro design is worth optimizing for or not.
However that's a separate issue from Apple's OpenGL implemention (which is completely under their control) and driver quality (also completely under their control). Even with no OpenCL features yet, all of the 3D apps' performance (and some other apps like Premiere and After Effects) could be improved in their current state, just by Apple having a better OpenGL / driver implementation (mainly in the areas of better frame rates while editing in viewports, etc).

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.
Model Name: MacBook Pro

Processor Name: Intel Core i7

Actually it is not-so-permitted to remove sophos for this machine, but I did it anyhow. No problem so far, but lack of evidence is not evidence of being lack of something so I am not adding it to the list yet

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

New Apple Java update breaks jnlp file association

I thought this might be helpful for other people experiencing this problem.
It seems that the latest Java update for Macs (10.5 update 4) breaks the file association for jnlp files. When you use one it opens up a text editor. To make matters worse they have moved the location of Web Start.
The only way we have been able to fix this is:
1. Control-click the jnlp file that was downloaded to the desktop and select Get Info
2. Click Open with and select Other.
3. At the top of the window select All Applications in the Enable box.
4. Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Java Web Start.
5. Click the Always Open With checkbox at the bottom.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Double-click the jnlp file on the desktop which should now launch the workbook.
If anyone else has some more information or another solution, then please reply here.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't find this post the first time I searched on this problem, and I was mired down in versions-specific directories with javaws--which appears only as a link that cannot be used as an association.
MUCH appreciated!

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications. I have reverted back to 7u45. But now, every time a java applet is used, the "later", "block", "update" window appears and stops the applet from loading. I must have this older release. Oracle does not throughly test their updates. Note: the apps the update breaks are actually Oracle apps.
I have checked the "do not ask again until next relesse" box every single time. Worthless.
Is there a way to stop Java version checks? I even have the box deselected for check for updates; ignored by OS X. I WANT CONTROL! Stop checking!
Ideas?

We are facing the same issue. We suggested all out customers not to install the updates Java 7u65 or 8u11 until there is a workaround or fix.
The wrong look & feel is causing the following problems:
- Either icons or text can be display on a button. Currently the majority of buttons are displaying an icon. Therefore the workaround is to set the text at least.
- Scroll-bars are displayed within all cells of a table column. The circumstances are not clear when these scroll-bars are displayed.

Did OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 update break bluetooth audio for anyone else?

Did OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 update break bluetooth audio for anyone else?
I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 duo MacMini from 2010, and I just updated to the latest OSX (10.9.4 (13E28)) and now bluetooth audio is broken.
I can pair my device (LG Tone+) to the mac, but no audio will play though it. I've rebooted the machine, reconnected the device after the update, restarted the browser, all with no results.
Typically, when I connect to the system I will get audio acknowledgements through the headset, "Power On" "Battery High" "Connected"
I still get those audio queues through the device. However when I open up a video on YouTube, or attempt to stream music on Spotify...nothing happens.
I've plugged wired headphones into the system and that works just fine. When I connect my Bluetooth headset, the audio to the wired headphones disconnects, so it seems like everything is behaving normally, except that no audio plays through the bluetooth headset.
Any ideas on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. So, what do we think?

Try resetting the SMC.

GUI and GPU for MacPro Da Vince Resolve system

Hi
I am setting up my MacPro to run Resolve. Black Magic have certain card configs they recommend (http://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail/?sid=3948&pid=4448&os=mac&leg=0) but I am getting conflicting reports of the best way to go and in fact what is possible to install physiaclly. I have a new nVidia GTX 285 card for mac ready to go but not sure I can install it while retaining the ATI Radeon HD 5770 the system came with. I was then considering replacing the 5770 with a GeForce GT120 but now I'm nervous cos I hear it isn't great for Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I will have the BMD Decklink Extreme 3D card also but no RAID at this point.
Thoughts and advice please?
8 Core 2 x 2.4Ghz Westmere, 8Gb memory, ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1gb GDDR5, 3 x 1Tb HDD

BMD continues to state that GT120 is best combo with GTX285, and faster than 5770 / Quadro 4000 combo. Believe this and save money, or needlessly spend extra to have a slower system.
"While the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and NVIDIA Quadro 4000 cards are the latest combination of graphics cards for Resolve, the highest GPU performance for Resolve continues to be the combination of NVIDIAGeForce GT 120 (GUI) and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285(GPU). Unfortunately the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 is no longer available but owners of this card will continue to enjoy the highest GPU performance in Resolve. NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 delivers higher performance than the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and the Quadro 4000 is not designed to replace it. The Quadro 4000 is availableat a much lower cost than the Quadro FX 4800. "
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/media/1764189/DaVinci_Resolve_8.0_Mac_Config_Gu ide.pdf
Another way to read this "Apple & Nvidia should stop acting like children and support Fermi cards in Mac Pro. The Quadro 4000 is very overpriced for the rather mediocre level of performance it provides. A set of used cards you can pick up for $400 can run rings around these newer cards"

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers
GAL9000

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

NewBlueFX - CC versions - turning off GPU for all products needed

I've had NewBlueFX plugins for quite a while now - but the one issue that bugs me about using them is I have to turn off GPU for all products when applying them (virtually every job). I was advised by NewBlue to do this when I was having problems editing and playback being messd around visually why editing.
Just installed (correctly) their updated CUDA versions and still no difference in preformance and still have to turn off GPU...
Clicking on the plugin applied>info>click "disable GPU for all products" and it all runs smoothly.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Is it an issue or is this normal? Why?
Should it not be that effects plugins like this should actually work with all the bells and whistles turned on - not off?
Having spent out on a machine with 24 cores, a Quadro 2000 card and stacks of memory - the machine should be able to handle a NewBlueFX plugin with GPU and everything turned on...?
Am willing to learn on this...

Just below "Extras" in the View menu there is "Show...", where you can check/uncheck individual items - permanently.
Ctrl+H (extras) is just a bucket to collect them all and turn off with a single shortcut.

GPU for After Effects

I need to know the certified GPU card for AE GPU-accelerate,because your System requirements about After Effects was not written clearly.And I still don't understand why the certified GPU for premiere and AE is not same??

CC 14 gives you the option of trying an unsupported card and it works just fine for the new Macs. I have two brand new ones with NVIDIA cards and they are working perfectly. The only published list is in the System Requirements.
The following NVIDIA GPUs are supported in After Effects CS6.
Mac:
GeForce GTX 285
GeForce GT 650M*
Quadro FX 4800
Quadro 4000
It's a starting point, but with the move to supporting the Mercury playback engine it makes a lot more sense to look at the PPro System requirements when picking a card for AE.

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6? Thanks to you from the UnTechie

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.
