Apple Mac Pro Export Problems!

I have a the new Mac Pro with 6 core 3,5Ghz 64GB and AMD Fire pro 2x 3072MB GPU 256gb ssd and im trying to export a movie in MP4.
Export time is 10 hours?!??! Movie size is 48gb
My movie is: AVHCD, Length 4 hour, Res: 1920x1080 44khz,
-What i do is... Files -> Shares -> Master Files -> Format Computer -> Video Codes -> H264 Fast Encode -> Res: 1920x1080 And Next. Save.
When i export the SAME movie on a Macbook Pro Retina 2,3 Ghz i7 16GB 500gb sad, Nvidia Geforce GT750 2048MB it takes 40min. ???
I have update all my software. And i dont know what the problem is??

I don't have the new MP so afraid I can't give any informed feedback. Ten hours does seem long… while 40 minutes for an H.264 encode of a 4 hour movie is far faster than I would have expected. Perhaps someone who has your model – or something similar – will weigh in.
Here is an article that compares the MP with an iMac. The differences in export speed with different settings are pretty dramatic.

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

2008 Apple Mac Pro with SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC (UEFI)

Dear Apple,
Can you please add hardware/drivers support for the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 GDDR5 OC (UEFI) Graphics cards to the latest Mac OS X 10.10 operating system?
We have a few Apple Mac Pro's that we installed older Radeon 7970 graphics cards in (a few years back) and now we are upgrading the graphics cards to the newest Radeon R9 290 Series cards (Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC UEFI).
We chose the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC (UEFI) (11227-00-40G) Graphics cards.
The Sapphire Graphics card can be found here:
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&pid=2091 &psn=&lid=1&leg=0
We have been trying to figure out how to get this graphics card to work with the latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite. We are installing two Sapphire R9 290 graphics cards per machine.
We want to make sure that the OS X drivers support multiple monitors, CrossFire, as well as HDMI audio, and support GPU hardware support in the latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Has anyone managed to get the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 (SKU ID: 11227-00-40G) working in a 2008 or 2009 Apple Mac Pro?
We have 24 Apple Mac Pro's and we purchased 48 of the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics cards (to install into the Apple Mac Pro's) and we're trying to figure out how to add driver support to OS X for the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 / Radeon R9 290 to the latest Mac OS X.
If I go into the "Graphics/Displays" Hardware section it shows that the Sapphire card (in Slot 2) is installed, but it only displays the name "Display".
The properties of the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics card are:
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x67b1
Revision ID: 0x0000
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Any ideas as to how to install hardware drivers to get these graphics cards to work properly in OS X 10.10 Yosemite and to enable GPU hardware support in OS X and also enable HDMI Audio?

Over a YEAR has passed, and we still can't get Apple to add the latest hardware drivers for the newest/latest AMD Graphics Cards (AMD R9 290 series).
We have contacted AMD, and Sapphire, and everyone has pointed their fingers back at Apple, and said that Apple is the only ones that can add the latest graphics drivers to their Apple OS X Operating System.
So the problem lies on Apple, and Apple refuses to update it's operating system to support the newest/latest hardware.
AMD pointed us right back to Apple and said that it's Apple's OS X Operating System, and that it's Apple's job to add and write the newest/latest graphics display drivers to their OS X operating system.
AMD says it's Apple's fault. Sapphire says it's Apple's fault. Apple just refuses to do anything, and ultimately it's Apple's operating system and Apple's closed-ended ecosystem that refuses to allow customers/users to upgrade their Apple Mac Pro computers to the newest/latest hardware.
In the end, I guess the only solution is to abandon Apple Mac Pro products, and just start purchasing "Microsoft Windows PC" computers that we can upgrade and that have PCIe slots that we can just swap out the graphics cards (every year) with the newest/latest graphics card hardware.

Apple seems to be a "dead end" and they don't support their high-end customers and don't seem to support Apple Mac Pro (high-end) users. Apple only seems to be concerned about selling iPods and iPads and iPhones, and they've abandoned their HIGH-END Apple Mac Pro users that want HIGH-END workstations for professional use.
I guess if you want a high-end workstation, you have to go back to buying a Microsoft Windows PC, and start going back to using the Adobe suite, and just completely abandon Apple and Apple products all together. (Apple is not in the business of designing or selling "high-end" products anymore). Apple just designs low-end "overpriced" hardware, that you can't upgrade, and must toss in the garbage every other year, because you can't upgrade it.
Apple has been heading this way for years, and the newest/latest "Black Shiny Trash Can" (that is NOT upgradeable and has no upgradeable PCIe slots and no way to even upgrade the video cards) and Apple has turned into a "disposable" computer company/business that just builds "All-In-One" garbage computers (that become extremely outdated and must be thrown away every other year, because they are not upgradeable) and you can't swap out video cards using standard COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) latest Graphics Card adapters, and we can't even get the latest Mac OS X operating system to support the newest/latest graphics display hardware, it seems like our only choice (as others have stated before) is to abandon Apple products and begin moving/migrating back to Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro machines.
We can't get Apple to support their customers or update their operating system or support the newest/latest hardware in their operating system, so it seems to be a "dead end" ecosystem, and Windows 8.1 Pro and using standard PC hardware is probably a much cheaper/affordable route and it's a long-term solution, because Apple seems to come out with one nice product (every ten years) and then they don't support the product or it's users, or don't follow-up with Apple OS X operating system upgrades, and then you are stuck with very old outdated hardware because you can't even get the newest/latest drivers for the latest graphics cards/hardware.
The only solution is to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and use Windows drivers, but then why even own a Apple Mac Pro if we can't use Apple OS X and can't even use our OS X software, and the only solution is to use our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows PC?
We're really disappointed in Apple and how Apple fails to update Apple OS X and fails to support the latest graphics cards (such as the AMD R9 290 graphics card).
I think 2014 is the last year that we are going to deal with Apple. Starting in 2015, as part of our 2015 New Year's Resolution, I guess we'll start e-baying our Apple Mac Pro equipment, or selling it (as salvage) and begin purchasing standard Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro high-end workstations, and get away from the old legacy dead-end Apple garbage hardware and dead-end Apple OS X operating system.
It shouldn't be this hard, just to get some graphics drivers released to support the latest graphics card (which has been out for over a year now). The Radeon R9 290 graphics cards were out in mid 2013 (for over a year and a half, almost 2 years now...) and we are already coming up on 2015, and Apple still hasn't added drivers support for the R9 290 series graphics cards to it's latest Apple OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite.
It's a shame, but Apple has really gone downhill over the past few years. Nothing but really old and outdated hardware, and even their "latest" Apple Mac Pro is 2-3 year old hardware (that Apple is marketing as "new") and it's non-upgradeable, and you can't even run/install the latest graphics cards into it.
Apple is dead-end and it's not a place for "high-end" users anymore. I guess Apple doesn't care about it's "high-end" user market anymore, and is just interested in designing silly iPhones and iPods/iPads.

Apple Mac Pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core

Hey guys,
Ive got a real brain teaser. I have a apple mac pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core that wont boot.
The leds on the memory test good its all tested in another mac and working well.
The 9 leds are reading as follows 2nd led lit yellow. Led 9,8,7 Green- which from my research is good.
Ive also reset the cmos battery and vram, nothing.
Pulled the memory and video card and re-seated them also nothing.
The last thing i tryed was shut the computer down sit for 30 seconds then held alt and got the install mac os screen not a hard drive option.
Which leads me to think its not seeing the hard drive?
Any suggestions?

Starts up with fans
Makes the apple chime
The chime is generated in software when the first portion of the power-on self test has passed.Your Mac is working and has enough working RAM memory to start up.
You still may have problems with drives, the software on those drives, or your graphics card.
apple logo comes up
The dark gray Apple is loaded by the ROM boot loader in the first blob of software (before the file system is initialized). Its presence indicates your Mac can get some stuff off a Hard Drive, and seeing it indicates your graphic card can display something in a primitive way.
with spinning gear and just sits there for hours
It is stuck booting up something. Verbose Mode (hold Command-V at startup) will show you the parade of messages. The last five will tell you what happened.

Mac Pro Fan Problem

Hi, I have been having some problems with a Mac Pro I have been working with. At the Start-up the Fan goes to top speed and once it logs-in the fan is still pretty loud. I've checking the Temperature of all the computer parts via a Temperature Diode, and its normal and not high. After searching the internet for hours looking for posts that were for the Mac Pro and not for the MacBook Pro (which comes up in about all the searches using the words Mac Pro Fan Problem) and I found some software all of which is not for Mac Pro's. Is there any application I can run do reduce the RPM of the Fans, Reset the Fan Speeds to only turn on when it get hot, or something along those lines.

Thats odd, seeing as Apple have it listed in the Support article:
To reset the SMC on a Mac Pro:
1) From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2) Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3) Wait at least fifteen seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5) Press the power button to start up your computer.
It does exactly the same thing as the SMC_RST button, simply by removing all power from the system. I would assume the reason for this would be that the SMC settings are stored in RAM, which is erased once the power is removed from the board, hence the minimum 15 secs wait which gives time for the capacitors in the power supply and system to discharge.
So yeah, it does do the trick, or has done for me in the past a few times.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

Internal Hard Drives for Apple Mac Pro

Hello there,
Does any one have some advice on the following internal HDs. I am in Germany and this is what I have found that I am interested in. I just don't know if they all are for Apple Mac Pro because the provider doesn't specify.
1) HD 1000GB Western Digital RE2 GP, SATA, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, RoHS compliant, 5 years warranty (not bad eh?) = 139,00 €
2) HD 1000GB Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ SATA intern 7200rpm 32MB Cache 8,9ms: 109,00 €
3) HD Seagate Barracuda ES.2, 1000GB, SAS, intern, 3,5'', 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 8,5ms, 5 years warranty: 214,00 €
Any bad experience with Wester Digital? Or recommendations for internal hard drives, they are greatly appreciated!
I was wondering too, does it affect the hard drive, that the bigger it is the shorter it will live? I love having 1T, and I already got 2T EXTERNALS from WesternDigital. But I am certainly concerned that the bigger they get, the more chances to fail the might have. Does this make sense?
I am also a little doubtful about internals, they seem to fail faster than the externals, is this true in most cases?
I just want to have the capability of storing my Aperture Library in an internal HD, for easy access and all the images on an external drive.
Thank you for the advice!!
Cheers!
E.

I would get WD Black, Hitachi (latest, not their earlier model) or Seagate (no need to spend on ES).
WD has been excellent in Mac Pro, I just would skip on GP.
I only had one drive with 4 bad blocks in 20 WD drives.
Personally, I would get 4 x 640GB WD Caviar drives for internal. They are fast, quiet, and run cool. And sells for US$80.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on both my Apple Mac Pro and Apple MacBook Pro

I think I found the answer to my question: "May I install my copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on both my Apple Mac Pro and on my recently purchased Apple MacBook Pro?" I think my question was answered in reading the text of the agreement for use of this site in the following:
"You may activate the Software on up to 2 devices (or virtual machines) at a time, if these activations are associated with the same Adobe ID for the same individual, unless stated at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation . However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously."
If this is correct, would you confirm. I know how security conscious Adobe is with their software.
Thank you! Be Safe!
Ken

Hi kennethf71183385,
Thank you so much for asking! Yes, you are entitled to activate your copy of Acrobat on two computers. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe Support for more information about activating Adobe software!
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

I have a 2009 Apple Mac Pro with no windows,can I surf the web on virgin media wifi

Can I surf the web on the Apple Mac Pro with out windows on Virgin media wifi

What are you asking? Are you saying you do not have Microsoft Windows on your computer? If so, Microsoft Windows is not needed to surf the Internet. Or, are you saying that the site you are surfing to requires Windows Internet Explorer which you do not have?
Rephrase your question being more specific as to your issue.

I'm shopping for the Apple Mac Pro

I'm shopping for the Apple Mac Pro Desktop 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Quad, 3GB RAM
Mfr. Part # MB871LL/A
When I put that in the Apple website, (just MB871LL/A ) or Google on the Web, it shows results)
which on the Web is :
2300$ at PC connection, J&R and Amazon
While looking for a better price I found one
for much much cheaper (+/- $500 less)
Desktop Computers » APMP266QC3 » Apple Mac Pro Desktop Computer Workstation (Early 2009)
(I don't know why they call it a workstation ?)
They say all our products are new, not refurbished
It's the same as the one seen on J&R, Amazon, etc. but what bothers me is that the Mfr# is different. [APMP266QC3] when everywhere else, including Apple store, it is MB871LL/A
I'm wondering if there's something fishy here ?

First a clarification: After reading the May 2009 issue of MacWorld (pg 50) I decided to buy the Apple Mac Pro Desktop 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Quad, 3GB
I find out that this model is known as Mfr. Part # MB871LL/A
So if I see a Mfr#Z0G8-0002 (see below) I'm wondering what it is.
The store that I'm talking is not B&H, it's on the other side of the country. They sell a 3GB and a 6 GB.
they sell a 3GB computer with # [APMP266QC3] which seems now to be a B&H stock # (No information on Mfr#)
They have also a 6GB and it has the APMP266QC6GB and
Mfr#Z0G8-0002 also with $500 less than anywhere else.
Both these number can be seen in B&H
And that's my question: Mfr#Z0G8-0002 ? (not sure what is 0002)
A completely different number just because 6GB instead of 3GB and everything else is the same ? That would be stupid. Usually it would just have one digit different at the end.
When I put that number in the Apple page it said no result found. (but that could be because they stop selling it ?) If you google it will show results.
I google both ZOG8-3GB and Z0G8-6GB
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Z0G8-6GB)&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=Z0G8-3GB%29&btnG=Searc h
or
http://www.epinions.com/MacDesktops--price_range_20006000
The first one compare to the 4th one. Ignore the stores. I'm not buying from them. I just want to show both computer on the same page.
Again, they have a different manuf. number. Is it just because it's 6GB instead of 3GB ?
So a store in the West, with no affiliation that I know with B&H in New York, sells a computer with a BH stock number ?
I know the saying of "if it's too good.."
I checked with the BBB there's no complaints about this company.
