Bootcamp and New Mac Pro

So I had bootcamp running fine with mavericks, windows 8.1, on my nMP.
After installing Yosemite, when trying to boot into it it would crash.
So I tried reinstalling...
I've tried everything, first I just erased the partition, created a new partition (MS DOS FAT), and created a Bootcamp installer on USB from ISO.
When I get to the installer.... It won't install on any partition.
I tried removing all the windows partitions with the windows installer... everything except for EFI, OSX Primary, and Recovery... Creating a new partition from the unallocated space and formatting it.... it creates a new MSR partition, a system partition, and a windows primary... the Next button lights up... I click it... it says "Windows cannot find a partition or create one"
I even tried starting fresh completely. Saved an Image of my OSX installation, completely formatted the drive, put the image back on, so that there was only one partition, so I could let boot camp assistant create the bootcamp partition, like it likes to... same story...
I've tried everything I can think of, no matter what I do, windows "cant find a partition"
I've tried several different versions of windows 8.
8, 8.1, 8.1 Pro.... real OEM versions, a cracked version.
All the same story.
Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone with a New Mac Pro (Late 2013) able to get Bootcamp, and Yosemite on the same machine?

1. Are you trying to install via EFI boot or the traditional BC MBR method? MSR/MSD are EFI-based constructs.
2. Can you the output of the following terminal commands?
     a. diskutil list
     b. diskutil cs list
     c. sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
     d. sudo fdisk /dev/disk0.
3. W8.1 EFI installation on the nMP should work. It is normally done using a "Free Space" partition, not a FAT partition.
4. Do you have any external storage attached to the nMP when installing Windows on the internal disk? If yes, they should be removed till the installation completes.
5. Using a USB3 flash drive will not work. You need a USB2 flash drive.

After Effects CC and new Mac Pro with FirePro D700

Hello
I'm about to purchase a new Mac Pro, 64GB RAM, SSD 512, Two AMD FirePro D700. Working with post-production software basically use Adobe After Effects CC, my doubt is whether the normal After Effects continue working on this new machine. If it is fully compatible with this video card and if all resources will have a better income. And what can you tell me about the Ray-Traced with these video cards.
Thank you.

• Adobe does not support AMD cards with their ray-trace renderer, and are unlikely to do so in the future.
• Cinema 4D Lite, included with AE CC, uses the CPU, not the GPU, for rendering.
• The third party plugin Video Copilot Element 3D is GPU dependent, and they have pledged support for the Mac Pro display cards.
• Adobe has hinted at substantial improvements to AE multi-threading efficiencies in a coming release. The implication is that more CPU cores will be better utilised in the future.
I will be buying a new Mac Pro soon too. What the above tells me is that After Effects will continue to be best served by faster and more multi-cored CPUs, rather than better GPUs. For my money, I will stick with the cheaper D500 GPUs, and get a better CPU option.

LG Monitor and New Mac Pro -- Colours out of Whack

I have an LG L226WT and a 20" Apple Cinema Display connected to a brand new Mac Pro.
Both monitors (in the same configuration) were running on my old PowerMac G5 before.
The Cinema Display works fine, colours are good, so is light etc.
The LG first had ghosting (severe at that) and this morning the colours are totally out of whack. Looking at some photos I had taken a week ago and colour corrected on the G5 now look like a child painted them (on the LG monitor, on the Cinemadisplay they are fine).
It's not the graphics card either. If I take a screenshot on the LG and look at it on the Cinemadisplay the colours etc. are correct, but the LG is right now pretty useless to me. I tried to calibrate it but the end result is pretty much the same, it just does not seem to want to play nice.
I don't think it is the DVI cable, as it is securely screwed in and in the same location as on the PowerMac, turning the monitor off / on seems to resolve the shadow problem but not the colour issue.
Anybody have experienced this? Any tips outside of trashing the LG and buying a new screen?

The ghosting issue is still one when I first turn the computer on. I found that I have to turn the monitor off and on and it resolves the issue.
I also found the source of my colour problem, it comes down to the LG "resetting" itself to some "automatic improvement" or whatever you want to call it, which completely messed with the tones. After I turned that "feature" off it worked well, but man, that took me three days to figure out.

Premiere pro cc and new mac pro 2013

There is so much being written about Adobe CC (Premiere Pro) not working well on the new mac pro that I just want a final clarification from Adobe:
1. Does Premiere Pro work well on the new machines and is the software set up to make use of the new machine elements- like dual GPUs etc??
2. If not is this in the pipeline for Premiere Pro CC updates and any estimates on when?
Thanks

You do realize that, for the most part, this is a User forum, not a Support one? We have participation from various Adobe employees due to good will more than anything. They don't and won't share road map stuff with us until they're ready to announce it to the whole world.
I think you're asking the wrong question on the wrong forum.
Pr CC and AME CC are both set up to make use of the dual GPUs on the new Mac. Several of us have already shared our experience with CC on the new Mac Pro; for the most part it's very favorable. A few folks are still having some difficulty with it; hopefully they've opened support cases with Adobe to get that straightened out.

Basic 3D effects and New Mac Pro

Hi
We are running Premiere CC on the New Mac Pro.
We use a lot of Basic3D effects in our editing in Premiere.
After we changed our machine to new Mac Pro (black),
whenever I try to render the Basic 3D section or export the video that
has the Basic 3D effects, the computer crashes.
While previewing, it gives me some digital noize looking like
the software is having problem processing the video.
How can we solve this problem?
The premiere crashes without any warning.
I can force quit the software.
The only way is to restart computer by hitting the power button.
I restarted the new computer numerous times.

Hi Vinay,
Here's the specification:
[Mac]
New black mac pro
Processor 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
[Premiere]
Premiere pro CC Version 7.2.1 (4)
The type of media I'm using is Avi and Apple ProRes 422.
The effect I'm using is Basic 3D.
I had to restart my computer more than 10 times while I was exporting the sequence by hitting power button.
I finally went in to Project Setting and in General,
I changed the Renerer from OpenCL to Software only, it got stable.
So I guess is that the solution?
Is there other way to solve?
Thank you.

OpenCL / GCD and new Mac Pro's HD 5770 and HD 5870

hey!
considering to buy a new MacPro but I can't find any information if OpenCL and Grand Central Dispatch is supported by those new cards (HD 5770 and HD 5870). It seems that ATI Stream isn't that Mac friendly?!
Thanks for your comments!

A couple things -
1. I know you said you don't have any money for more drives, but I would not bother using your 160 as a boot drive - why cripple the mac pro by putting the OS on a slow drive? The new mac pro comes with a 1tb WD Black by default... The Current generation of 1-2tb drives are probably 3x faster than those old 160's. Even the green drive will be faster.
2. If you make money using aperture, using an SSD to store the OS and library on will pay for itself in one job. The OWC 120 SSD has the most impact of any aperture upgrade I've ever made - it is a substantial difference. In fact, when I got my new mac pro, it only took me 3 days to pull the SSD out of my macbook pro and put it in the mac pro - after using an SSD, using any traditional media based HD feels like going back to dial-up internet - it was that noticable and I couldn't take it... Opening a 30k image library (all referenced) took 18 seconds on the laptop drive, on the SSD on the laptop it took 1.5). I put the SSD in the optical bay and use the stock 1tb drive it came with for storing the referenced masters.
3. You'll gain some speed benefit (and maintainability benefit) from using a referenced masters setup and storing your library on a separate drive from the raw images. Since you have room for 4 internal drives, (or more if you use 3rd party brackets or mount a drive in the optical bay) I'd definitely consider it. It makes a raid setup sort of not make a lot of sense... Since ideally you'd want off-site backup anyway -
4. I was in your same boat when I got my first mac pro, I had to decide what to do with all the legacy drives... For me in the end I decided that time was money, and the time it took me to move stuff around across my collection of 5 hard drives was not worth the cost of just buying a few new 2tb drives (for around $120 US, and they are fast). I understand this may not be everyone's case -

KVM with DVI and mini DP compatibility? old and new mac pro to one monitor?

i need to buy one of these to replace a belkin model that i think may have failed (either that or it is my video card) and i just started to wonder if i should spend the money on a KVM switch instead. basically i am buying this converter to TEST if my current adapter is not working.
http://www.kanex.com/c247dl
i am assuming that getting a KVM switch will be able to test this in the same manner but also give me the added option of /switching/ between my 2006 and the newer 2012 model.
i am having a bit of a hard time navigating the IO gear website and my terminology searching may not be optimal either. can anyone help me with this please? presumably i need a "mini DP and DVI KVM switch"?
THANKS

OK. so for an extra hundred dollars (compared to buying a converter) i can get this 5770 video card that has two mini DP ports and which will be compatible with my cinema display is that right? then i am guessing i can buy a mini DP KVM switch if i decide to keep the computer (assuming it solves the video problem). does that sound about right?

Need to setup Bootcamp on new Mac Pro

I just got a new 8-core MacPro. I transfered all my files including all the files from my Windows partition (from iMac). Now, the files exist on the MacPro but not as a Windows partition. I have the latest Leopard, but need to know the steps for setting up for BootCamp. Any help would be appreciated.

bootcamp creates a hybrid partition scheme which is needed to have both windows and OS X on the same drive. i confess I don't know how that really works and how it does that. For that reason you must use bootcamp assistant when creating a partition for windows, using disk utility will not work. format of the bootcamp partition can be either fat 32 or NTFS. Bootcamp assistant will let you create either but the size of a fat32 formatted disk can not be bigger than 32MB.
FAT32 will be read/write from both OS X and windows.
If you need a bigger windows partition format it NTFS. You can make NTFS read+write from OS X by installing macfuse and [NTFS-3g|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24481/ntfs-3g].

Bootcamp and new MacBook Pro

One question about MBP 2008 and Bootcamp -- how do you pick which video card gets used?

When the computer is running Windows through Boot Camp, it uses the 9600M card. The 9400M card isn't available to Windows. Click here for more information.

Looking for Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array options that can match the new Mac Pro's quietness -- or at least come close!

Maybe it is too early to talk about anything beyond the Pegasus2 Series (http://www.promise.com/promotion_page/promotion_page.aspx?region=en-global&rsn=1 00) when it comes to Tunderbolt 2 storage options. Looking for something on the order of 8 to 12 usable TB of redundant storage or possibly a JBOD option of 4 bays. This is coming close but I do not think it is Thunderbolt 2 (http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid-thunderbolt).
Either way -- looking for users experience not only on usable Thunderbolt 2 solutions but more importantly noisiness. I want to upgrade my existing Mac Pro to one of the new ones and I have found the old one to be nearly unnoticable in a quiet desktop environment. Would love to find the same peace and quiet when migrating to the new form factor that is going to need external storage to match what I have been used to inside the old Mac Pro.

Not your quiet storage, but then I would put it in a cool closet or small room off to the side :-)
http://www.macgurus.com/store/Item/ARC8050 ( I was assuming but maybe not, that it would support RAID6 which is always preferable for larger arrays. Seems to have most features you want for 8 drives). MacGurus "Burly" are never quiet but they are rugged and well tested.
Migrating storage will be a concern. I don't like the noise from my older SATA OWC dual-drive metal enclosure though suppose to be 'acceptable' unless they have improved the fans they are out for me.
OWC for Thunderbolt products.
Helios enclosure (the new dual-slot Helios PCIe chassis)
… moving various hard drives into Thunderbolt cases
USB3 hard drive enclosure.
For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.
USB3 is plenty fast to house two hard drives.

Bootcamp and Windows 7 and 8 on the new Mac Pro (Dec 2013)

I want to install bootcamp on my new Mac Pro (Dec 2013).
Bootcamp says it supports Windows 7 and 8, but there is a bunch of new hardware with the new Mac Pro, so I am concerned about bootcamp support for it.
Are there any issues with Windows 7 Pro install? How about Windows 8 Pro?

From what I see, only Windows 8 is supported on the new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with Bootcamp.
See Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Look under Boot Camp requirements by Mac model

Installing OSX and XP on new Mac Pro

Hi,
Just buying a new Mac Pro. I will getting it with one 750GB HD supplied direct from Apple on purchase, plus a 150GB WD Raptor, purchased seperately as a boot drive.
Question... when the hardware arrives, what is the procedure for setting up a new boot drive with Mac OSX and Windows XP (under boot camp). Do I put OSX and Windows XP both on the WD Raptor...? Any suggestions for how I should partition that drive...?
What is the physical procedure...? How do I change the boot drive from the 750GB drive on arrival to the 150GB WD Raptor that I fit....? How do I 'uninstall' Mac OSX from the Apple supplied 750GB HD...?
And any other releveant advice.
Much appreciated.

Hi Robbie_DB,
You can install OS X first on your 150GB wd raptor.
restart your mac pro with the installer disk inside the optical and press C to force to start up using installer disk.
Choose language > go to utilities > disk utilities > format the WD drive, and after you finish, go back to installer by quiting disk utility and install your mac os x and select WD drive as destination.
Sometimes it require another restart before mac os can be installed to a new formatted HD.
After you fnished install OS X, go to boot camp page, and follow instruction there.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
It is a good thing if you update your os x software and hardware firmware to the latest and repair permission after that before going to install boot camp.
And to select which HD you want to start from, open system preference from the Docks, click start up disk, and choose your WD drive, and restart.
As soon as everything run smoothly, you can start from WD drive, open application > utilities > disk utility, and erase / format the original HD supplied by apple f you really want to.
ps: back up any important data first, if any.
Good Luck.

HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

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.
