Has Anyone Gotten their 12 Core Mac yet?2.66 or 2.93 tested Logic on it?

Hey Guys, I'm one of those that still runs a ppc G5 with dual 2.5 and and SOOOO ready to upgrade, and I want the BIGGEST boy. though I've been reading that logic does not utilize all cores.. is that true? and approximately how much Power Gain will I enjoy if i'll be dropping 6+ K on a hardware unit? I aslo have a all the play instruments all spectrasonics, NI and So on, Im trying to wait and see all of them being tested with the new rig. I don't want to dicomision my studio for too long nor drop 6 g's just to find out none of the software works "just as of yet" for next half a year ...
Help me out here please I need some guidance
Thanks
Paul

Hey Paul, it doesn't look like anyone will be receiving their new machines before Aug 30th. so we all have to wait a little longer before we get benchmarks and reviews. If we look at "the present", Logic doesn't utilize more than 8 cores and reports have shown degraded performance with the 8 core "Nehalem" and Hyperthreading enabled (8 additional virtual cores). Granted, those results blow away my current Quad G5, it's still disappointing to those who spent so much money for a piece of hardware that can't be fully utilized. Who knows when Logic will effectively use more than 8 cores and what other bugs and "kinks" will have to be worked out? Also, we don't know if it will perform well with 6 cores, even with the hyper-threading disabled.
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm ready to buy a new machine. But I'm not shelling out a dime until I see some real usage reports and reviews.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet between September and October there's going to be a new version of Logic (probably 9.2) that utilizes more cores, probably at least 16. I imagine this because it would encourage more higher-end Mac Pro sales.

    Hi,
    I love to give out dukes!! I wish i had more of 'em.
    So i have kept an eye on my account, waiting to see
    that "monthly" refresher.
    Is anyone getting their monthly dukes? Is this a practice they have stopped, but forgot to update their dukes bullitin board? Its like waiting for Christmas & Christmas never comes : (
    Maybe i've been a bad girl.

    gseel: i think you EARNED those duke dollars... i dont think my code was exactly easy to follow & i sincerely appreciated the help.
    Esoral: the link was good, but it seems there is something not quite right here... the BB regarding dukes says that once a month we get dukes... seems to me im not the onlyone who is missing a few dukes,among other things ; )
    I did write to the webMaster over a week ago... still no response other than "forwarded it to the appropriate person"...

    In general, 12-core isn't the best bang-buck, and the 6-core 3.33 is. In fact you can pick up a 2.8 4-core $2100 from Apple Store Specials, swap out cpu on your own for W3670 3.2GHz ($600)  for 50% boost.

  • Has anyone gotten their Hotmail account to work on iPhone?

    I'm trying to use my hotmail address for my mail feature, but I don't know what the incoming/outgoing host names are supposed to be, and I don't know if I'm supposed to use IMAP, POP, or Exchange. Help, please!!
    iPhone   Windows XP  

    I looked into this some. Turns out that hotmail does not support pop3 and imap email clients. Reason being that the greedy corporate fools want you to access your inbox through a web client in order to spit advertisements at you. Thier is a non-comissoned program called Hotpop that you can run on your PC (must always he on and connected for this to work) but it is too much of a hassel of you ask me. Your best bet is to move over to gmail or yahoo mail that do provide these services (and a lot more storage space)

  • Anyone gotten their Aperture 2.0 serial number yet?

    I ordered it this morning but still haven't gotten it yet. They seemed a little confused about what I was asking about when I tried to call Apple. Has anyone gotten their serial number yet?
    (So far the upgrade looks good, just waiting to import the whole library and get started)

    just be patient, get a good night sleep and you'll probably get the serial tomorrow.. then its play time..
    just be off now, and make some photos! Aperture 2 tomorrow!

  • Has anyone gotten a tracking number for their iPhone 6?

    Hello all, I pre ordered an unlocked 64gb Space Gray iPhone 6 via apple.com at about 6:30 A.M. on 9/12. They still had some in stock, because my delivery date has always been 9/19 by standard shipping. Has anyone gotten a tracking number when ordering via apple? When i log into my account to look at my order, it says Preparing for Shipment. It has done this since saturday night. But on my Apple support profile, it lists my 6 as a device with the serial number; and I have heard that this means it has shipped. So, what is it? And has anyone recieved a shipment notification or tracking number yet when ordering via apple? Thanks in advance!

    9/19 delivery means 9/19 delivery.  Be patient.  UPS probably asked Apple not to release tracking info until Thursday.

  • Has anyone gotten the new 640x480 videos to work?

    Has anyone gotten the new videos to transfer to their ipod? Mine keeps saying that they are not supported by ipod. Also does anyone know what bitrate for video is now supported?

    On Tuesday I updated my 8 month old video iPod with 1.2. This morning I successfully transferred Mulan I downloaded off iTunes and played it out to a normal TV. I did not see any compression artifacts that I would normally see from the previously downloaded TV shows such as Battlestar Galactica. This probably means that it has the more updated resolution.

  • Has anyone taken their iPad 3 to Apple over Wi-Fi issues?

    Has anyone taken their iPad (3rd Generation) Wi-Fi only model to an Apple store and tried to use AppleCare to solve their Wi-Fi issues?
    *Start: Problem/Rant*
    I had an iPad 2 Wi-Fi only model and I never had an issue with it. When the iPad (3rd Generation) was released, I went ahead and bought it. However, from day one, I never had the wireless strength of my iPad 2.
    I'm a college student, live in a dorm, and I am fairly tech savvy. This problem confused me for the longest, as no environmental factors had changed and my iPad 2 would still connect at full bars. I read on some forums that many new iPad 3 users had reported that their new iPad had poorer signal strength in general after running many different diagnostic test. Apparently the radio in the device isn't as good picking up reception as the iPad 2.
    After conducting some dB tests of my own, I found this to be true indeed. But I could live with it, as my iPad (3rd Generation) still connected to Wi-Fi for my dorm (as I am close to an access point). However that wasn't the end of my problems. Anytime I watched Hulu, Youtube, or streamed a movie that was at least an hour long, my wireless signal would drop completely and would pause the video to give me a blue pop-up box stating that I had no Internet connection.
    I noticed that my wireless icon had gone away, but after about 1 minute it reappeared. The video wouldn't resume, so I had to refresh the page and go back to where it got stuck previously. A minor inconvenience, but still a problem. The first time, I wrote it off as a legitimate Internet problem on my campus's part. However, the same problem occurred again, about an hour later. I quickly went to my computer and tested the connection and I still had Internet. After this point, I setup two wireless devices on the same network and waited for it to occur, and when it did, I was able to conclude that it was my iPad's fault.
    In the interest of getting it to work and my own curiosity, I tried all the standard troubleshooting steps such as: Rebooting the iPad, restoring the iPad, connecting to various encryption types such as my campus WPA and WEP network types. I even got a wireless router with a direct Internet connection, turned off the encryption and tested this on different channels and even g/n networks. I still get one to two minute periodic wireless network drops.
    I've had this iPad 3 since launch and aside from the Wi-Fi thing, it has been great, but it has finally gotten to me. The other day, I was running low on time and was uploading my professor's notes to Dropbox that I had recorded on my iPad when the signal gave out for it's regular wireless fail and it ruined a presentation. Yeah, first world problems, but when I paid so much for this and have invested so much of my own time to fix something that should of worked in the first place, it is kind of infuriating.
    /end rant
    I am going to an Apple store tomorrow and using my AppleCare warranty while telling them my problem and hope that they can fix it. However I am worried that since it appears to be a hardware issue, that they won't be able to fix it. Also my iPad 3 has no screen protector and even though it is used, it is in perfect condition (I used a case for the exterior). I don't want a refurbished model which may have minor scratches (on a retina screen this would drive me insane). I am OCD about keeping my expensive stuff safe and scratch free. I know that I should of brought it in the moment I noticed the issue, but I was secretly hoping that it was just a bad firmware/software issue that would of been resolved with iOS 6.0 (obviously it wasn't) and my store doesn't accept returns on any Apple Products (Barnes & Noble) even if you open it in front of them, however they do offer AppleCare which is what I am hoping can fix it. I'm still within my year warranty, have the original receipt and box.
    Does anyone have any experience with a similar issue or a wi-fi issue at all with the iPad (3rd Generation) and using AppleCare? I've read horror stories about employees doing terrible things and is it safe to not restore my iPad and just hand it over to them? I know this is just me being lazy, but is it alright for me not to delete/restore my iPad before handing it over to them? Like I don't have to worry about them posting on twitter or checking my email? After two semesters, it is kind of a hassle to put everything back on there, anyone have any bad experience just handing it over?
    Lastly, is there anything I should do, before handing it over to them? Like taking pictures of what it looked like, before they handled it? Is there a way to register with Apple the MAC address of the iPad so they know that I am the owner? (well, I guess my email should be associated with that).
    I know it is a long read, any questions answered would be appreciated (it doesn't have to be all), and if people want, I'll update on my experience with AppleCare regarding my issue and if it gets resolved.

    I've seen a few posts from users that had wifi problems getting a replacement iPad.
    A refurb iPad has a new screen, battery and back plus warranty.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • 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.
    I also have a Areca 1212 PCI RAID Card. ( NOTE: I HAVE A SERIOUS RAID DRIVER PROBLEM NOW. THE RAID IS DISCONNECTED )

    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?

    I'm having the same problem. Does anyone out there have a

    I am running RedHat Linux 6.0 straight out of the box. The only
    change I made was to set the kernel parameters according to the
    release notes and recompile the kernel.
    P.S. Oracle deserves our thanks for providing free developer
    licenses to so many of its products, but this is the buggiest
    install I've ever seen in my 12 years of working with their
    products. Didn't anyone from Oracle test the install? This
    problem and the zero length libnjni8.so file are the real
    doozies.
    I've followed the release notes and installation guide to the
    letter and have found several documentation / distribution bugs
    that should have leapt out at the first person who tried it.

    Apparently people downloading it through Software update are not having a problem, but I need to keep the file so I can run it on multiple computers without having to re-download it.
    Also, the file is only 1.07 GB, not 1.09 GB as advertised.
    I'm experiencing the same situation here. Same error and file size.
    To be accurate, the file is 1.071.015.728 byte and its MD5 hash is c1b40fabb9a8d2b21484546dbe86d446.
    When I download the update at work (Modena, Italy) I keep getting this file, no matter how many times I try to download it, but if I download the update at home (Cento, Italy) the file is bigger and I can mount it without problems.
    I asked two friends to try to get it and one of them from Reggio Emilia (Italy) got the right DMG, the other from Padova (Italy) got the corrupted DMG and the "not recognized" error. We have all different ISP so I can not tell if it's ISP related.
    I may be wrong but couldn't it be that some server in the Apple's CDN has got the corrupted copy of the update and serves it to users requesting the file from some specific locations?
    Anyway, I opened an incident with Apple through Express Lane that has now been escalated.
    I'll report back their findings as soon as they reply to me.

  • Has anyone gotten remote access to a FAT Airdisk to work?

    Has anyone gotten Airdisk to work remotely while using a drive that was FAT formatted? I have spent a lot of time poking around the boards trying to figure out how to get airdisk to work remotely and without hashing up too many details I have gotten it to work but ONLY if I use a usb disk which has been formatted HFS+. When I try to use FAT disks my mac cannot mount then remotely. Also, has anyone gotten Airdisk to work either locally or remotely while using one drive formatted FAT and the other HFS+? When I try this, only my FAT disks show up and the HFS+ ones throw up an error. Thank you.

    I've got two partitions on my USB drive, which Apple apparently says won't work, or is unsupported. Nevertheless, it works OK for me. One (the first) is HFS+, the other is FAT32. I can mount either from OSX using the address "afp://router.ip.address/HFS_Drive" or "smb://router.ip.address/FAT32_Drive", respectively. I can even access the FAT32 drive from Parallels/XP by mapping a drive letter to "smb://router.ip.address/FAT32_Drive" so it connects at login.
