Cannot Synch iPhone on New 8-Core Mac Pro

I have had my iPhone since the first day they went on sale in June 2007. It has performed flawlessly for me and continues to do so. I have been using the iPhone with a white iMac purchased in March 2007. I have never had the slightest problems with synching my iPhone on my iMac under first Tiger and now Leopard.
Yesterday I purchased an 8-core iMac with Leopard installed. The 8-core is running beautifully. I used Setup Assistant when I booted up my Mac Pro for the first time to transfer my data, applications, etc. from my iMac to my Mac Pro. The transfer appeared fine for over 3.5 hours with the blue progress bar going all the way to the right. Then with "one minute remaining" the process hung and went unchanged for 1.5 hr. I called Apple Support. They told me to shut down and then reboot the Mac Pro. I did and it booted up fine. I found that some of my applications had to be reinstalled and I did so. These apps then ran fine.
However, although iTunes ran fine on my Mac Pro and my music library appeared just as it should, I got the following error message when I tried to synch iTunes with my iPhone: The iPhone "My Name" cannot be synched. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation!". This is in spite of the fact that my account is an administrator account.
Once again I spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple Support and went through two levels of iPhone support. In the end they could not solve the problem. My final Apple Support person recommended an archive and install. I have now completed the archive and install. I am still experiencing the same error message when I try and synch the iPhone.
I am desperate to solve this problem, and I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.
One more piece of information. My iPhone does appear in iTunes when it is sitting on the dock. The synch does begin before this error message appears. Furthermore, when I select the Info Tab across the top after selecting my iPhone under the devices on the left, and I make any changes and click "apply" the iPhone synchs, finishes synching, and does so with no error messages. However if I then hit the synch button again, I get the behavior described above with a failure to synch and the given message.
I thank you in advance for any help that you can provide to me. All suggestions are welcome.
Tom

I have the same problem and I was getting very frustrated with this because when the alert comes up it gives you no idea of where to look for a solution BUT I also just found a website which helped me resolve the problem. I just did it and everything is fine. The iPhoto is the culprit here and you have to reset it's permissions and privilages.
Read on and happy syncing!

Illustrator CC 2014 running EXTREMELY slow on brand new 6 Core Mac Pro with 64Gbs of Ram. This can't be right :(

Hi,
I've just picked up a brand new 6 core Mac Pro and I am having some serious lag issues with Illustrator CC 2014. I am just trying to select relatively simple objects (an illustration of the side of a coin) and there is a massive delay between when I click on an object and when it actually becomes selected.
Someone please tell me they know how to fix this? Please

after the two fixes above in illustrator cc Im still experiencing
file open - nothing happens
file place nothing happens
fix - quit illustrator and restart - open file from the folder lol
PS CC
A wierd warning popping when I want to open a file nothing opens just the warning

New 8 Core Mac Pro Question

What will the 8 Core Mac Pro do for Aperture? I know you need 4 gig of ram and the ATI video card. I am just curious about what processor to purchase.
I find that Exporting images from a wedding of 800 or so images takes about 2.5 hours on my G5 Dual 1.8 with 3 gigs of ram. I would really like to speed up the Export process!
I will also be using Photoshop CS3 when it ships. Will Actions that I have written run faster on the 8 Core Machine?
I just need some buying advice.
Kevin Hawkins

How much Aperture alone sees today is not so much the point as is what happens with real world performance. Real world it is not just about the theoretical limit of what Aperture sees; apps and the OS/RAM/GPU/CPUs all work together, and folks typically do have more than one app open at a time. My expectation is that although certainly fully functional with 4 GB, the kind of users that run Aperture on a MP will find that greater than 4 GB of RAM is clearly beneficial.
Anecdotal reports also seem to indicate that Mac Pros have an inherent need for more RAM than previous boxes needed.
Also OS 10.5/Leopard is due soon enough that we should be planning new box configurations based on our expectations of what impact Leopard and Aperture v2 will have on RAM utilization. My strong opinion is that we will be able to take advantage of more RAM as 2007/2008 play out.
In any event 4 or 5 (1 Apple plus 4 third party) GB of RAM is an excellent place to start, and RAM always gets cheaper and is easy to retrofit later. IMO we should buy only 2 GB sized DIMMs to facilitate maximum future expansion.

Better video cards for the new 8-core Mac Pro...?

I don't know a ton about video cards. I did some research and the internet says that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 video card is the best card out right now. Will it work in the 8-core macpro? If not, or if it's not the best, what is the best video card that will work in the 8-core macpro?
P.S.
Does anyone know how to tell exactly whether a video card is better from another? I mean I can guess a video card at 1792MB is going to be better then one at 512MB, but I've also heard that, for example, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB is better then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB, and apple charges more for it so it probably is better, but all that tells me is the name of the cards, and that they are both at 512MB, so from that without any other information I would assume they're exactly the same just made by different companies, but there must be some other details that would explain why it's better right? Thanks in advance

Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
What applications do you use?
Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
The 5800 is better though, will it work?
Better, how?
The spec's read better?
How about real world performance?
Benchmarks?
They are very similar in shape and such.
Shape has little to do with anything.
The ROM is the key.
If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
Even then, no guarantees.
Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
There are many pioneers who flash cards.
If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
Flashing the card is easy.
Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

Stabilization Slower Than Ever. :( New 12 Core Mac Pro VS 2006 PowerPC Dual

I have concluded testing that the WarpStabilizer in AE using a 12 Core 2.9 GHZ Mac Pro is SLOWER than a dual 2.7 GHZ PowerPc G5 running iMovie and GeeThree's Stabilizer plugin.
There is no excuse for such shotty performance.

Rick:
Stabilization needs to occur in edited clips. If you don't the stabization data is excessive for centering the frame. The edit comes from within PP. Once a PP project is ready for the Dynamic Link(s) .. a 30 min clip could have 100s of clips that need to be sent to AE via DL.
To do this with one giant 30 min. clip sends the position tracking data all over the place .. and ruins many frames that would otherwise be fine if the clips where divided appropriatley ..
Try it .. or anyone whom wrote the plug in should try it.
It is a very simple process that I expected to do within a very basic function.
The was PP and AE handles it is ______.
I would love to make a demo video about what is happening. :O

12 Core Mac Pro client fails to connect to xsan

Dear all, hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem.
We have an xsan system running with clients and MDCs running 10.6.6, XSAN 2.2.1. We have just purchased a new 12 core Mac Pro but we cannot get the machine connected as a client. XSAN admin sees the machine, but fails to write the configuration files on the client. We have tried running the client in 32 and 64 bit modes.
Has anybody else had the same problem? We do have one other 64 bit 8 core Mac Pro (early 2009) client connected without a problem.
Any advice would be greatfully received.
Richard

Problem solved. Someone had unplugged the metadata ethernet cable!

Which memory modules to use for upgrade 8 core Mac Pro

I am planning to upgrade the memory in my new 8 core Mac Pro, I use it for graphics and video editing (FCS2), I am wondering what would be the advantages and differences between getting the 8GB upgrade in 2-pair of 4GB module or 4-pair of 2GB module, I know the price for the first choice is almost double the second.

OK, so according to the http://www.barefeats.com/harper3.html Memory Tests, all slots filled means the fastest speed. So here's my question:
I'm about to buy a 2,8GHz MacPro with 2GB RAM, and I want to upgrade to 8GB. I was considering buy an 8GB Kit from Crucial (629.99$), and either leave the original 2GB and add the 8GB to the free slots, or just take the original out and leave only the 8GB modules. And this would be my question before reading the Memory Tests article.
So I went back to Crucial's online store and did some math, to see how much it would cost me to fill the remainder slots (6, counting off the 2 used by the original RAM) with 1GB modules, instead of my previous idea of 8GB (2x4GB). So, a 2GB Kit (2x1GB) cost 127.99$, multiplied by 3, which is what I would need to achieve a total of 6GB, to add to the original 2GB, will cost 383.97$.
That's 246$ less than the 8GB Kit! And according to the Memory Tests, even faster.
Isn't this too good to be true? What's your word?
Thanks a lot.

Huge CPU-spikes on 8-core Mac Pro

Hello,
I just got a new 8-core Mac Pro with 16Gb of RAM. And updated to Logic 9. And Snow Leopard.
Now logic is giving me the "System overload - could not process data etc" -dialog constantly. From the system performance window I see huge CPU spikes wich cause this dialog when reaching overload at the top. These happen, however, in a spot where there can be just one audio track playing. So it´s not a matter of having a hundred Space Designers happening simultaneously.
Is there something in the preferences I´m missing?
I appreciate your help,
Pessi
Helsinki, Finland

Has to be Logic. In 10.5.8 I have a sample track with add. drums and omnisphere. It show 2-3 dots on CPU, logic 9 then in snow , spikes all the way to pops cracks and 100% so it's logic not optimized for snow as it works fine in 10.5.8. I daw this a lot in cubase sx and nuendo and the pc. And youbknow us iverclocking types. Ha ha. We learn howto turn off everything for great audio performance so hopefully apple will address this. Could also be the plug in nit snow ready too butbam leaning more toward core audio having a glitch.
Again, 10.5.8 is fine. I should test logic 8 too. Hope with the annonced updates coming and more pro features we get more CPUs, dedicated PRO team, express slots in all machines as apple should know, like digi realized, app the $$$$$ is in PROSumer use that's why they bought maudio. Remember how upset the user base was when FireWire dissapeared from MacBooks. Hope we really get back to creative side if things.
Peace fam.

Eight Core Mac Pro

Just a post in case someone wants to know; Logic 8 with the new Mac Pro 8 core machines rocks. I got the stock 2.8GHZ machine (2GB RAM). Screen redraws and meters are smooth, no studders or core overloads. Upgrading from dual 2Ghz G5. Just have to replace my UAD-1 cards now - bummer...
Oh yeah, after the migration from the old Mac, the Apogee ensemble worked straight away without reinstalling the drivers, etc.
Paul

Good luck with those bigger projects, Paul. I just posted this message on the UAudio forum. I sure hope I'm missing something simple because this is completely unacceptable:
So I decided to upgrade my old dual 2.5GHz G5 with the dreaded AMD-8131 PCI chipset to one of the shiny new 8-core Mac Pros that were announced last week. Of course, this meant that I also had to upgrade my 2 UAD-1 cards to UAD-1e cards. The cards are installed in slots 3 & 4 - the PCI Express 2.0 slot is open. I have a project with the following plugin instance counts:
4 Cambridge
5 SPL Transient Designer
1 Pultec Pro
1 Precision Maximizer
Would anyone have any idea why I would receive the "One or more Powered Plug-Ins have been disabled. CPU load limit exceeded" when opening the project on the new Mac Pro but not on the old G5? Both computers have 2GB ram. The old computer was running Tiger but the new one is running Leopard. I'm using Logic 8.0.1.
The thing is, all the plugins appear to be loading. If I unload the Precision Maximizer, the reload it, I get the error message as soon as I select a preset. Again, in this case, the plugin seems to be loading.

TS1702 Cannot get iPhone 4 to talk with Mac Lion using Numpad. Have updated, restarted etc. Have Screen Sharing on. It sees my computer but when I press keys on the NumPad there is no response. I have tried it on the Calculator and on Sibelius. Any clues?

Cannot get iPhone 4 to talk with Mac Lion using Numpad. Have updated, restarted etc. Have Screen Sharing on. It sees my computer but when I press keys on the NumPad there is no response. I have tried it on the Calculator and on Sibelius. Any clues??

Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc.

Need help improving XP SP3 performance on 4-core Mac Pro 2009

I'm running Windows XP SP3 under Boot Camp 3 (Mac OS X v. 10.6.2). Currently, XP is on a second partitioned HD, but it was previously running on a drive all its own with the same problems which are:
When I boot into Windows the sound stutters quite a bit. I updated the Realtek drivers and used the Apple USB device (24" LED speakers) but nothing completely got rid of the static/stuttering.
The real problem comes when running Left 4 Dead. Whenever I get to a new part of any level (where zombies are) the graphics freeze for up to a few seconds and the sound gets glitchy, repeating broken staticky snippets. I don't have other games installed but I get similar performance when watching a YouTube video in Firefox.
Is this normal for Windows on a Mac Pro or do other Mac Pro Boot Campers run Windows smoothly? I have seen YouTube videos of Windows running smoothly on MacBook Pros and iMacs. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Finally, I'm running two graphics cards, an ATI 4870 and an NVIDIA GT120. I've run with both on, one off, the other off, the NVIDIA removed, the NVIDIA installed. No matter what I do, the video glitchiness is always pretty bad. (The audio is also bad.)
Thanks in advance for any info or pointers.

I have had success running boot camp on an 8-core Mac Pro from 2009. I have an ATI 4870.
I initially used Windows 7 Beta (32bit) and then RC (64bit) and finally the shipping version (64 bit Professional).
32-Bit crippled Crysis performance for me (only the demo). I was able to run the game with most settings all the way up (excluding Anti-aliasing), at 1920x1080 and it ran fine for about one minute before hitting the hard-drive for about 10 seconds. This thrashing occurred repeatedly and I have up - that problem was resolved when I moved to 64bit Windows.
Other games I have played with no trouble are The Orange Box & Borderlands, each with maxed resolution and settings.
Optical audio and the front headphones work fine for me - though the 4 conductor cord does not recognize the microphone (from an iPhone headset) in Windows, which gets me down as it would be nice to audio-chat in some games.
Try these thing in this order if you can, and have not already:
Patch the game (though if this is happening in Firefox as well, it seems like an OS problem)
Update directX (I really have no clue here, I assume Windows does this automatically?)
Try demos of other games
Upgrade the OS to 64bit (Especially if you have over 3GB of ram
Go from XP to 7 (I have had no trouble with Windows 7 on my machine)
Try a DVI monitor (I am using a 21" Westinghouse, have never connected an Apple display)
Good luck!

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

1066Mhz Memory in a WestMere 12-core Mac Pro

Hello,
Thanks for reading and for your help. I've tried to find an anwser on Google but without success.
I presently have a 2.26Ghz 8-core Mac Pro (Nahelem).
I would like to exchange it with a 2.66Ghz 12-core Mac Pro (Westmere).
I previously bought for my 2.26Ghz 8-core Mac Pro (Nahelem) 32Gb of RAM (Hynix HMT151R7BFR8C-G7). It works fine. And I would like to be able to use the same ram in the 2.66Ghz 12-core Mac Pro (Westmere). Is it possible? Even though the Nahelem uses 1066MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM and the Westmere uses 1333MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM.
If it is possible, I understand that I won't be optimal, but I wish to save myself the hassle of selling my old ram, to buy some new. And I will eventually swap the RAM for the right one when prices go down a bit.

Westmere can use 1333 but shouldn't REQUIRE it. But with Apple hardware...?
And there isn't that much difference in performance. I know that was mentioned in one blog/post/article.
Now, as I write this, I am not sure, and definitely not 100%.
It should. I can't see how it would not (DDR3 is very forgiving except when you go above and beyond like faster RAM and over-clocking).

Anyone using a 12 Core Mac Pro? I have HORRIBLE performance issues .. Help!

After the latest 10.7.4 Mac OS X update I have extremely horrible performance issues with AE ... and they were not so great before the update.
It is still stabilizing ... but an 1:19 clip in SD is taking 12 HOURS TO analyze and stabilize. !!!
The 12 cores are barely being used and this problem has been an issue since I purchased the suite over a year ago.
Does anyone else have problems using AE on their 12 CORE MAC PRO?
REPLY ONLY IF YOU HAVE A 12 CORE MAC PRO PLEASE.
There must be a problem because since the update ... Adobe Encore is PERFECT .. and ALL 12 CORES MAX OUT and the encoding is quick!!
I also have major problems between PP and AE using Dynamic link .. and slow renders in PP.
Everything else works fine .. other apps / other vendors.
I am calling Adobe today.

Thank you for your time.
I am using a 12 Core 2.93 GHZ with 32 GB RAAM and a NVidia GTX 285.

Only half of my hyperthreaded processors are active when using AE "Warp Stabilizer". This issue was addressed before in the Forums. There was no solution. I dont' know if it is any better in CS 6.
Also the automatic saving of all linked compositions while using the dynamic link feature bewteen PP and AE causes huge inoperatable waiting times .. unbearable. My guess is that the new "Global Performance Cache " fixes this ... which I consider update to a terrible problem .. but they sell it as a feature ( Ill go into that later.
Question:
What RAID card are you using?
Do you use the Warp Stabilizer?

12 Core Mac Pro and Quark 8.16.2 Processor Crash

I have installed 2 12 Core Mac pros with Quark 8.16 and am having the same problem on both. After running Quark for 20 or 30 minutes, the processors all run at 100% and Quark eventually becomes unresponsive. A force quit is required.
Quark has no reports of this problem, anyone else using Quark on a 12 core?

No change here either... I have been onto Quark and I have deleted the Preferences folder more times than I need to remember... and even deleted in the home/library/preferences/quark and setup a new "Preferences" (Cap P) in the Application/Quark 8.0 folder and still no improvement. It worked perfect at first... then I went back ands setup my settings.... increased cache levels and various settings... so I'm thinking it could be one of those effecting the situation... I haven't had the time or patience to try since the last time... but the Quark defaults work fine for quitting... well they did the time I did it and testing.... just need to test more... or maybe wait for 10.6.5... it might sort it also...
Talk soon...
