FCStudio won't install on Mac Pro Intel

One of our Mac Pro's (1,1) had some problems so I transfered 1 account onto another Mac Pro (1,1).
On the first Mac Pro (the one which became veeerry slow) Final Cut Studio and Motion worked perfect.
Only on the 2nd Mac Pro I 'm not able to install FCP studio. I am able to start up the installer and fill out all details, including my serial number.
After clicking 'Install' it seems the installer doesn't react anymore. Is this due to the license or is my OS corrupt?
Has anyone a clue what the problem could be?
Thanks!

Hi DH,
i tried installing on another Mac: OS10.6.8.
The installer worked fine: it didn't freeze.
Before I tried this, I cleaned the DVD.
Should this be the problem?
The Mac I tried on in the first time: OS10.5.8 and FCPStudio 2009.

IMovie won't open on Mac Pro (Intel, 10.5.3) -- just hangs

I don't normally use iMovie but tried to open it today on my MacPro and strangely it just hangs while launching.
I reinstalled from the discs that came with the computer, but that made no difference. I deleted iPhoto and iMovie preference files, but that made no difference. I've even turned off Little Snitch as I saw on the web that there was a potential conflict there. I've run software upgrade and everything is apparently up to date (iMovie is version 7.1.1) I have also looked at the package contents for iMovie as suggested on another site, but everything seems to be there.
I have no idea why the application won't run. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there another conflict between iMovie and any other known applications?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions... tried changing resolution and that had no effect, and I've checked my Perian and DivX installations in System Preferences and both say they are completely up to date. I upgraded Quicktime today to 7.5 before all of this became a problem -- but I don't know how to upgrade iLife. In Software Update everything is completely up to date (eg each of the iLife apps).
Oh well, iMovie is not very useful to me anyway -- just somehow annoying that it fails to work. No point flogging a dead horse!!
Any other ideas gratefully received... many thanks in advance

Can I install leopard on new mac pro intel machine

This machine came with Snow leopard on it but it is conflicting with a USB 3.0 card I have been trying to install.
I THINK it is conflicting because I have a similar card on a 2009 Mac Pro intel,
running Leopard and I have not had one issue since installing IT, many months ago.
So I thought I would put in a new HD (larger 2TB) and start a fresh install and go down to the Leopard so the USB 3.0 PCI card will work!
When I do the reboot to instal from the disc, it just sits on a grey screen for 15 min before I gave up.
I replaced the Leopard disc with a Snow Leopard disc and the boot from disc went as normal.
So..........

Like I said, issues.
You and many others:

New Mac Pro (Intel) booting a Power Mac (PC) OS

I have the newest version of the Mac Pro G5 and I'd like to know.... if by installing the OS drive from the older PC based G5, can I still access it as a mountable drive and more importantly, can I make it a bootable drive and boot from it, running the older OS ?
The old drive is running 10.5.8.... it's going into the latest Mac Pro G5. My instincts tell me "no" but it sure would be convenient while I grab some things from my older drive.
Thanks!

Welcome and hope you get a lot of fun and enjoyment from your Intel Mac!
No way can you boot from a G5 OS, even the Apple Partition Table has been known to cause trouble, or the presence of the OS.
The Mac Pro is never called by or use "G5" which refers to 5th generation PowerPC.
Best bet is pull the data you want off the drive and initialize it.
Also, using migration assistant is well known for causing so much trouble and mischief, strongly recommended not to use it for apps, just your data, media and preference files (mail, web etc) and do clean install of your apps.

Even if most apps are Universal Binary, it doesn't take much, not worth the savings, if you do go against instinct, I'd actually make backup images / clones first. May as well get a good backup set with SuperDuper to start off on right foot.
The newest Mac Pro (Intel, Xeon processor "Nehalem"). And your Mac will come with 10.6.2+ build. It would be a stretch (of the imagination) to boot properly.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Mac Pro/Intel with Logic 8, HD Accel Hardware, Expansion Chassis - Anyone?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone out there is running a Mac Pro/Intel with Logic 8 and an HD Accel system with an expansion chassis. Apple does not support running Logic with HD hardware with an expansion chassis. However, we have been running one successfully (sort of) with Logic 8 on a G5. Unfortunately, the chassis we have doesn't provide the bandwidth that we need to get the track counts that we are looking for, so we are considering upgrading to a Mac Pro with either the Magma PE6R4 chassis or the Magma 64 bit 7 slot chassis. Anyone tried either of these configurations?
Thanks,
Ken Lewis

Hi,
I am running Logic Studio 8 on my Mac Pro 4-core 2.66 (specs below) using internal HDs only and it runs like a charm.
No overload message yet and it seems to me that I have to do feed it a lot more than I do right now to even come close to an overload message.
So with a 2.8 8-core you are well in line and should have quite some reserves.
My personal opinion is, if you can afford the money for the Mac Pro, go for it.
Have Fun
Stefan

Email messages won't download on Mac Pro but do download on iPhone.

Email messages won't download to Mac Pro but do download on iPhone 5. I've made no changes in the settings on added any updates, etc. When I "check for new mail" I hear an ping - a tone I normally don't get but no messages appear. Thanks in advance for an help you can give.

I had to call Apple Support for resolution. I'm not entirely clear on the origin of the problem but it seems that the server name(s) for Apple Mail were changed by Yahoo. It took a considerable time to correct but a senior advisor at Apple pulled it through.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Which Hardrdrive should I install in Mac Pro, 13", Late 2011, 2.8Ghz i7 4RAM 750H

Please could you tell me Which Hardrdrive should I install in Mac Pro, 13", Late 2011, 2.8Ghz i7 4RAM 750H
Tx

Any 2.5" diam formfactor SATA HDD or SSD will be compatible. As a start, look at the representative sample available from OWC:

It is very easy to do the installation yourself and it will be a lot less expensive.
Ciao.

Leopard not wanting to install on MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo?

I want to bump up to Leopard on my two main computers (MacBook Pro Intel, and a tower, also Intel)... but as I'm using them 24/7 on projects I dare not have problems with ... I don't want any down time getting Leopard to run seamlessly on those systems.
To this end, I 'borrowed' the Leopard disks from my son, for whom I just got a new iMac ... and was going to try it out on my spare (no critical projects) laptop (MacBook Pro Intel). At the beginning of the install the pop-up tells me it can't 'install Leopard on this computer'.
Could this just be some new security device to inhibit pirating? Related specifically to new iMacs? Or am I going to have problems when I try to install the Leopard I was about to buy to upgrade all my computers?
All ears,
B.

FYI, an OS installer doesn't just blindly install all the OS components it contains; among other things it runs "pre-flight" & "post-flight" scripts to make sure the Mac's hardware is compatible with that version of the OS, to assemble some of the pieces (like preference files) on-the-fly prior to installing them, & to initialize & clean up some of the items placed on the drive during the installation process.
If it helps, think of it as little mechanized factory that builds customized, turnkey products based on the measurements & specifications it obtains from the buyer.
The retail version of the OS contains the generalized version of this factory; the OEM disk sets do not, since they are intended for one model only.
So, if you want to "test drive" the OS, do it on your son's Mac. You won't be violating the license terms & your test will be much more indicative of what you will see with the OS properly installed on your Macs.

IMac in Target Disk mode won't mount on Mac Pro via Firewire

My iMac (intel Core 2 Duo) won't start up - it has the question mark in a folder icon.
I can't find the Apple Snow Leopard disk, so I've started it in Target Disk mode, connected it to my Mac Pro, but it doesn't mount on the Mac Pro even though it appears in System Profiler on the Mac Pro.
Both running 10.6.8
Can I force it to mount? I have tried front & back firewire ports and restarted several times to no avail.
I'm hoping to repair the iMac disk using Disk Utility or Diskwarrior on the Mac Pro, but need it to mount first.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I want to copy everything off the iMac before re-installing Snow Leopard & starting again.
I do not have a backup of the computer (I've had a backup hard drive on order for 7 weeks that has been delayed due to the shortages...) I am aware that this is very stupid of me.
The disk is obviously in very bad shape as Disk Utility can't do anything with it.
Diskwarrior v4.2 on a DVD will make a 'Preview' of a directory of it, but will not 'Replace' the directory as the disk is damaged.
1. Does anyone know how to make a startup DVD of Diskwarrior v4.4 (I have the v4.4 update but can't find out how to make a new startup DVD using the old v4.2 DVD and the software v4.4 update) and I think Alsoft must now be on holiday as they're not answering... (I would like to use v4.4 as it should be more capable).
2. Assuming I can get Diskwarrior (hopefully on a new v4.4 DVD) to make a 'Preview' again of the iMac directory, how do I copy everying off the computer? My only guess is to connect my Mac Pro in target mode to the iMac. Will the Mac Pro disk show up in the 'Preview' directory & therefore allow me to copy all of it's contents across to the target mode disk?
3. Assuming all the above works, is there a best way to copy all of the iMac contents to a folder in the Mac Pro? i.e. is there a way of Carbon Copying it so that after wiping the disk I can simply copy it all back? Or is it all too late for that
THANK YOU very much for any help.
