HD problem after connecting to new Mac Pro

Went to our first MUG meeting of the years tonight. And took along my Lacie 500gig firewire external H/D. This was going to be used to demo the new iTunes 7 app. The computer being used was a new Mac Pro duo core intel etc.
When I plugged the H/d in to the Firewire 400 socket on this machine it would not mount. So sadly the demo would have to wait for another meeting.
MORE SADLY.... when I returned home and tried to connect it to my 15" iMac it would not mount..... What has happened??
It is more than obvious to me that my hard-drive has been corrupted by trying to use it with Apples latest entry into the market.
I have swapped cords Ports etc. The drive does power up when I start the computer and sounds like it is going to mount... Profiler does not show it...
any help would be appreciated...

Seems that I have a solution.... It would seem after some troubleshooting that the FireWire 400 port in no longer working.... why? I can only guess. The other FireWire 800 and USB 2 ports are fine.... Thankfully I am still in the warrantee window....
Let me say that this is the first and only problem I have had with Lacie H/D's....other than ...."Make sure that you initialize it before adding any files to it"... I know it is supposed to be Plug & Play with Mac, But I am betting it will think it is connected to a PC....unless you take the initializing step...

  • Problem connecting to new Mac Pro with USB

    I have a new late 2013 Mac Pro 6 core with 64GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. I use a Thunderbay IV Thunderbolt drive bay and a Newertech Voyager for external storage and backup. The Thunderbay works perfectly. When I place a 4TB drive with a couple of TB of data (photos) into the Voyager, it appears as an empty 1.8TB drive. If I take the exact same drive and place it into the Thunderbay via Thunderbolt, it sees it as 4TB, sees the data, and seems to have no problem. If I ask disk utility to verify the disk in the Voyager, I get this message "Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found." This happens regardless of which of the 4 USB ports I connect it to. Basically the drive will boot just fine in the Thunderbay, (Thunderbolt) but not in the Voyager (USB). I initially thought the Voyager was at fault, but this has happened with both a brand new S3 USB3 unit as well as my older Voyager Q USB 2 unit. I can connect a USB 3 card reader with no apparent problems as well as my iPhone, iPad, and two Epson printers. I am thinking that there is some problem with the USB connections in the Mac Pro but would appreciate any thoughts.

    You got me curious so I dug further. We weren't alone in that problem. See this Apple discussion. And this review mentioned the 2TB limit as did this one. We both were the victims of progress. I remember when a 40MB HD upgrade was a big and expensive deal for an SE-30.

  • USB Connection Issues-New Mac Pro

    I have a new Mac Pro (late 2013) that has USB connection issues.
    First; it often fails to recognize a USB keyboard, or takes more than a minute to do so.  I tried it with two different keyboards, one a regular Apple USB keyboard and the other a Das Keyboard unit.  I tried it both on a powered USB hub and directly connected to the computer.  Neither of these affected the problem.  It happened both under Mountain Lion and Yosemite, and seems to be worse under Yosemite.  This problem DOES NOT occur on my Mac Mini, so the problem appears to be with the Mac Pro.  Most of the time unplugging and plugging the keyboard in again solves the problem.  This gets old.  I have gone to using a bluetooth keyboard but much prefer the USB keyboards with the numeric keyboard.
    It also ejects the only USB drive attached to it.  It does not eject the two Thunderbolt drives.  The disconnection occurs when the Mac Pro is in the "sleep" mode; the "Disk not ejected properly" message is displayed when the computer wakes up.  This happens almost all the time.  The same drive does not exhibit this behavior when attached to the Mac Mini.  It is an older G-Drive unit.
    Possibly related to this is the fact that the two Thunderbolt units (Pegasus R2 and Lacie) do not shut off when the Mac Pro is sleeping.  I wonder if the problem lies in how the unit "sleeps" and "wakes up".  I don't know enough about the internal workings of these things to know how to test for this.
    If anyone knows how to fix this I'd appreciate some advice.

  • After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    Hi rustyg12,
    Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
    You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
    Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
    Fire up DW. See if it works.

  • After Migration to new Mac Pro, intermittent slow downs, SROD's

    I started with a my intel mac mini, Leopard OS was installed on an external Firewire drive, most applications were installed on another partition of that same drive. I bought a new mac pro 8 core, and an additional firewire external drive that I set up as my Time Machine drive on my old mac mini. I did a full backup of my old mac mini system and then attached the time machine drive and the other external hard drive to my new mac pro. I used the migration assistant to transfer files to my new mac pro. However, now there appears to be something occuring between my internal mac pro hard drive and the old external hard drive from my mac mini. When using some applications, Itunes, Logic Pro, Firefox, the ap will hang and appears to be trying to access files from the old external drive. I hope I'm being clear with what the issue is. I'm thinking duplicate files on this external drive and my internal drive are causing some problems? I need to know how to repair the issue, and preserve my data files?

    Thanks for your quick response. I know I've been somewhat confusing here. I'm running the latest Snow Leopard update on my mac pro now.
    Then please update your profile, as it still shows the mini and Leopard.
    And I'll ask a Host to move this to the Snow Leopard > Time Machine forum.
    All the aps and data were migrated onto the internal HD in the mac pro, and the aps and files and directory structures, etc. are still also on the external drive that used to comprise the OS of my mac mini. I'm thinking that may be part of the issue, but I'm new to Mac and not certain of that or how to fix the issues.
    Depending on how you did that, I'm not sure everything on those partitions got on to the new Mac's HD. Check that first, via the Finder.
    Let's start with iTunes and/or iPhoto.
    First see if you have the same stuff in both places. Use the Finder to see how large each is on the external HD, and compare that to the iTunes and iPhoto folders on your internal HD.
    If they're not on your internal HD at all, use these instructions to move them:
    Moving your iTunes Music folder
    Moving your iPhoto library
    If the versions on the external are newer than the ones on your internal, delete the ones on the internal and use those instructions to move from the external to the internal.
    But don't delete the versions on the external just yet. Eject and disconnect it, and make sure everything's fine. It won't hurt to leave the data there for a while, especially as long as it's disconnected.
    If the music or photos on your HD are the same, or newer, hold down the Option key while starting iTunes or iPhoto. That will give you a prompt where you can select which one you want to use.
    Once you've selected the ones you want, eject and disconnect the external. Then use as many apps as you can, to see if everything works properly and all your data is found.
    Without knowing what other apps you have, and how they work, I can't tell in advance whether any others will be looking for the external drive. If you get error messages, you'll have to deal with each app that seems lost.
    I'd be inclined to keep the old external "on the shelf" for quite a while, just to be sure nothing got missed.
    Have you started doing Time Machine backups of the new Mac yet? When you do, you'll get a prompt about whether to "re-use" the Mini's backups. See #B5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. You probably want to select "Re-use," especially if there's a considerable amount of space on your TM drive.

  • Can't open After Effects on new mac pro

    When I try to open After Effects on my new mac pro it tells me that I cannot use this version of After Effects with this computer. I have the CS6 master collection and all the other apps in the same collection work fine.

  • Slow wired and wireless connections on new Mac Pro

    I have a new 6-core Mac Pro with 64GB RAM that I seem to be having major network issues with. When I restart or first switch the machine on it's fine but after a few minutes the network (web browsing) become painfully slow - when I run a speed test it come out at ~2Mbit/s. This is the same whether I connect on a wired or wireless connection. I've tried various connections including a complete bypass of my time capsule to a direct wall connection that should be giving 100Mbit/s. When i run a speed test on my iPhone connected to the time capsule via 5GHz I comfortably get >60MBit/s.
    Is there a bug in the latest OS 10.9.4 my MBAir also seems to require a lot of restarting to keep up even basic web browsing???

    Your Macs are always looking for a better connection. To that end, they are evaluating every possible way to get to the Internet.
    It is very important that you limit those choices to only the ones you actually want to connect to, and indicate that the other are "off the list", literally.
    For example, to test your wired network connection, Ethernet must be at the top of the list AND WiFI must be OFF. (Otherwise, your Mac will be checking WiFi to see if it seems to be getting a better connection over WiFi. In the screenshot below, Ethernet is at the top of the list, so it is likely to be used, but since WiFi is still ON, it may be used instead.
    To check YOUR WiFi connection (and not your neighbors' connections), you need to BOTH check that the "ask to Join new Networks" box is checked:
    and that the Networks you wish to join are shown in the order you wish to join them. All extraneous networks should be removed from this list:

  • It is possible to connect the new Mac Pro at the Eizo  Color Edge CG 243 W

    Hello,
    it is possible to connect at the new Ma Pro an Screen Eizo Color Edge CG 243W, or is this model to old for the new computer?

    The display has DisplayPort, so all you neded is a Mini Displayport to DisplayPort cable to connect it to a Thunderbolt port on the Mac Pro.
    <http://www.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/DisplayPort/6-ft-Mini-DisplayPort-to- DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable-Male-to-Male~MDP2DPMM6>
    It also has DVI, so you could connect it to the Mac Pro's HDMI port with a HDMI to DVI cable.

  • Causing some network problem after connecting the new ASA to my network

    Hi everyone,
    Hope you can help on this issue.... It is strange to me...but may not be to you
    Currently, I have a subnet connects to my primary network. All the internet travel thru a router there in turn thru a pair of ASA failover firewall (ie Subet -> router -> Subnet ASA -> Pirmary network ASA -> Primary network router -> Internet).
    Now we try to setup a internet pipe so the subnet can go to internet by its own. So...for security purpose, we put another new ASA in between.the subnet and the new internet. This will be the first, and the old path to Interent would be the back up route.
    NOW
    I have not even make any route cahgnes on the router yet. What I did was to connect the new ASA to the subnet. Again, I do not change any routes, or any gateway settings on all the computers yet in the subnet!! I just connect the asa. That is it...please remember this.
    However, problem happens. I have a application server in the same subnet.... that keeps kick out users. I also have continuous ping to it... I saw that the server has requesdted time out...it did not come back up until about 10 to 20 seconds later. The server, in fact, is a cluster server. Although I can ping the physical server, I cannot ping the virutal server.
    In order to fix the problem, I really need to unplug the new ASA from the network, and reload the cluster server. Then it starts to work.
    ANother symptom is that...people complaint the log on is obviously slower than usual.
    May I ask why the new ASA will cuase this trouble?? Again, no routes on the router have been change. And all PCs in the subnet are still using old gateway, and did not nkow about the new ASA.
    Any ideas would be great!! Very strange to me. Thank you very much for your help.
    Riderfaiz

    First guest would be proxy ARP.
    Proxy ARP is enabled by default on the ASA. The new ASA might be proxy ARPing for whatever reason.
    OR the new ASA might have been configured with an ip address that belongs to another device by mistake.

  • Problem After Copying to New Mac

    Hi, Everyone...
    I followed the instructions to manually transfer all my files from my old Mac (Tiger) to my new one (Leopard), including the Calendar files. However, when I open iCal on the new Mac, none of my events or other settings are showing up! I have a LOT of stuff in there and don't want to have to recreate it all from scratch!
    How do I get the new version to show my old Calendar data?
    Thanks so much!

    Thanks Preran, I chatted using that chat box & was forwarded to the instilation team.
    They sugested downloading the CS3 Design Premium software for a fresh start but the link they gave me wouldn't accept my login, maybe because I bought though a University who has an account there.
    They told me:  CS3 hasn't been tested with Mountain Lion...
    I tried launching Bridge & that worked OK.
    I thought about trashing all the apps ...
    But I didn't
    I tried putting in the intall disc & re-installing over the old version.
    I just installed the 2 apps I had already installed & shared componets.
    They( PS & DW) now seem to be working fine so far, didn't ask for any serial number at all.
    Just had to delete & add browers again in DW.
    So seems to working OK.
    If anyone is in same position I'm not sure if the clean tool is the way to go.
    Mabe it helped in long run but at 1st it just made it so I couldn't use the apps. at all.
    Thanks for being here, that did help.

  • Problem after migrating to new Mac

    Hi, I changed my Mac from an iBook to a new Mac Mini running 10.8.2
    I had Dreamweaver installed from the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. Version 9.0 Build 3481
    Dreamweaver was working fine before I migrated all my files on old Mac to the new one.
    Now when I launch DW I get a window with a question mark & another saying what version & build I have.
    When I "Get Info' on DW3 in my applications folder size is 298,696,470 bytes (302.4 MB on disk) for 249 items in case that helps.
    I thought to re-install DW from my instal disc.
    Dragged old version to trash, then read the readme in the installer & put it back in Applications.
    I tried to use the un-installer as directed but when I enter my password in "Set up"it says "Required resources are missing."
    I thought to try to intall over the old version but when I start to install I get the same "Required resources are missing." message.
    (Photoshop from the same suite is working fine, also Adobe Acrobat.
    I'd also like to try Fireworks now I have an Intel Mac.)
    How to proceed to get going again with DW?
    plmk?
    Thanks.

  • HT1386 Sync problem after connecting to another Mac

    My daughter connected my iPad 2 to another mac computer. Now all the songs on the iPad are gone and the "Sync" within iTunes starts but does not complete and no music is being transferred (neither via USB nor via Wi-Fi). Any ideas? Cheers!

    You really don't have to explain. I had young kids at one time.
    If you connect the iPad to your syncing Mac - the one that you usually use - and it will not sync - try quitting iTunes, restart your Mac and restart your iPad as well.
    Also, make sure that the music is still selected to sync in iTunes in the Music Tab, when the iPad is connected to the Mac, while iTunes is running and with the iPad selected in the devices tab.

  • Can't find Motion 5 in purchases after moving to new Mac Pro!

    Just upgraded from MBP RD to the new MacPro. All souped up. I transfered all my MBP stuff from my time capsule Time Machine back ups directly into the new MC Pro. It worked out but to my surprise, many of the applications didn't make it. Ok. that's fine.. I'll do those manually. FCPX & Compressor did... But Motion 5 didn't! What's worse, is when I go to the App Store and look at the Purchases, it doesn't even show that I've purchased Motion! I don't get it! Why can't I see Motion any more?! Is there only one license for it or am I missing something? I basically have to buy it again? It shows that I have to buy it. Please help!

    I'd start by making sure you didn't accidentally hide your purchase.  Open the App Store application.  From the Store menu, select "View my account".  Once you log in you should see your Account information Page.  In the section "iTunes in the Cloud"  click the Manage button.
    If you've accidentally hidden it, you can unhide from this section.  Another option, if you have Motion still installed on our old comptur, you can just copy it over to the MP by network drag and drop or AirDrop.  Just copy it to the Applications folder.

  • USB 3.0 hub - Can it Connect? - Connecting to New Mac Pros and Old 2006 - 2008 Mac Pros

    My question for today is as follows:
    I need to purchase and install x18 multiformat card readers (SD & CF
    at least) and was looking to get some input.   Will we be able to add a PCI USB 3.0 card to
    any of our Macpros? (we have 2006 - 2009 MacPros now - two 2006 macpros - a couple 2008 macpros - and the rest are early 2009 macpros)
    I will purchase a 3.0 reader if you think it is something we will be able to integrate later, but I also know our
    Macpros may be to old to support such modification. Are there anyspecific card readers you recommend (2.0 vs 3.0)? Any input would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
