HelloWorldUI.jsx doesn't work on MacPros!?

This is confusing. I thought InDesign scripts written in JavaScript would work on both Mac and Windows machines. I was at school working and thought I would pull up a script I was working on and the Dialog box for my script wouldn't appear. After a few other attempts of not figuring it out, I just downloaded the JavaScript sample scripts that go with the InDesignCS3_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf. I tried running the HelloWorldUI.jsx and nothing would happen. I tried this on a couple other MacPros and still nothing would happen. I could run other sample scripts with User Interfaces like AddGuides.jsx. What on earth am I doing wrong? Please help! My Ego is suffering and who wants that?

u can try reinstalling it

CS3 DemoPalette.jsx doesn't work in CS4?

It doesn't seem any of the CS3 DemoPalette scripts work with CS4. Can anyone verify this?

Such as? If you tell me what you're missing, then I bet that I can point you to a better solution.
BTW, the individual scripts that are called from the old palette still work. (I just tried most of them.) It's just that the connection between the old palette and the scripts is broken if you try to run the old palette in the CS4 context without also transferring the called scripts, too. So, if you really want to use one of these old scripts, you can run it by itself without using the old palette script.

App Remote doesn't work on MacPro desktop, but does work on MacBook laptop

So I have AirExpress connected to my stereo and I can use both my iPhone and iTouch Remote App to control my iTunes library from my MacBook. However, my desktop computer (a MacPro) has all of my music. And the MacPro will not identify my iPhone as a device so I can enter the 4 digit code. Why?

Have you installed the latest software updates for both iPhone and Mac? Are they both on the same network?

Yosemite will not upload on my MacPro, says I have to verify or repair, but when I do - it fails on that too. Am now stuck with a computer that doesn't work ! Have I lost everything ?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed:    Yes
MSI:    No
Bus:    PCI
Slot:    Slot-2
Vendor ID:    0x1095
Device ID:    0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x1095
Subsystem ID:    0x3132
Revision ID:    0x0001
Link Width:    x1
Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your time

Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM, 4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago. Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape. Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore. I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black. No, I checked if I left the cover on. I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized. Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection.
The problem started like this.
I was downloading a file. Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs. I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down. And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen. A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left. But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.
It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option". Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot" could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express they still couldn't recognize my camera. I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on. There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
There was only one way to use my camera. Un-Plug the external HD6. Then the camera functions fine. but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
Notes on symptoms: and what actions I took.
Front connections: FW400 Canon camera. FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)
Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse 3) Canon Printer
                               FW400 HD5 FW800 (tried HD6)
With HD6 Connected.
iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie O.K. No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie.
2nd start: Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
iMovie shows (not responding) When I turn off the camera. (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again. But, "No Camera Connected" shows again. Quit!
Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.
"No Camera Connected" I Quit iMovie.
Re-start iMovie: Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen.
Skype: Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00 (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
The call to Apple Tokyo today.
Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem. Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and here is the basic problem.
I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few years (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives. And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem. (different makers etc.) But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac) to the board.
When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6 all of them work fine. The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board? Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help! thanks

+My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.

DVI to HDMI doesn't work with Panasonic Monitor

Hi all,
I have a Panasonic monitor, model TH-50PX75U that we've used with my Macbook Pro. I have an DVI (large style) to HDMI cable that we connect the Macbook with, and it works fine.
I also have a MacPro that I want to use this monitor with. It has 1 full size DVI display port and 2 mini display ports. In the past I've used the DVI and one mini port to connect 2 monitors at once one the MacPro and it has worked fine.
I tried connecting the Panasonic monitor to use on my mid 2012 MacPro but I never get a picture. I reconnected one of the other monitors to a mini dispplay port and can see that the MacPro recognizes the Panasonic monitor. Both monitors show up in the Display section under System Preferences. I've tries various settings for the Panasionic monitor but I can never get anything to display on it.
What am I missing here? The MacPro is a mid 2012 with 3.2Gig Quad Core / 6 Gig ram / Radion 5770 graphic card, and runs ML 10.8.3.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks!
Ray

Ok, so I had time to do some testing and here's what I've done:
I plugged in my Macbook which does work on the Pana monitor, and looked at the Profile. I then compared it to the Profile on the Mac Pro. There are some differences which I'm guessing have to do with different HW. I'm going to include some photos of the working and not working monitor scenarios do you can see what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
Photo1: Shows the Macbook and the Pana monitor together using DVI to HDMI cable to connect the two.
Photo2: Shows the display settings with the small monitor and Pana connected to Mac Pro. Notice there are no numbers in the diplays. Mirroring them doesn't work either. The small monitor is using a DVI to mini port adapter to connect to the graphics card, the Pana is using an HDMI to DVI cable (same one I used with the Macbook) to connect to the DVI port of the graphics card.
Photo3: Both monitors are on. The Mac Pro knows the Panasonic is there but I never get a display on it.

Self assigned IP Address, wireless doesn't work

After upgrading to Leopard I keep getting "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." when I try to connect to the wireless network. Thus, wifi does not work at all. I've researched it best I can and it seems to be a problem with the router assigning an IP address to the mac, but why didn't this happen in Tiger? However if I play around with it for awhile it will randomly start working, but the same method doesn't fix it everytime. It also works fine in bootcamp. If I physically plug into the router, it works fine. This problem didn't exist in Tiger at all.

Follow-up:
On the two laptops, I finally managed to get on line by switching to a different wireless access point, on a different modem. I surmise that the communication between the Macbook DHCP client and the modem/router's DHCP server is less than 100% effective. Looking at the modem/router, I could see that all of the Macs had active connections. But, instead of showing the names of the Macs, the page showed a star (*) for each Mac. I had to compare Mac addresses to verify the connections. The MAC address, of course, is hard-wired into the computer's network interface. It appears that either the DHCP client didn't know what question to ask when it broadcast for an IP address, or it couldn't interpret the answer. Except in the case of the iMac, which worked perfectly.
I upgraded the MacPro last, since it is my primary machine. Same story--connection with self-assigned address, which is useless. However, this time, having nothing left to lose, I restarted the modem/router, which presumably dumped any inactive connections and issued new DHCP leases.
However, I do have a few words for the Apple GENIUSES! The Leopard network preferences page puts me in mind of a maintenance free battery. A few of the older folks will remember when you bought a car battery that had to be filled with distilled water to reconstitute the electrolyte. Then, periodically, you check the level of the liquid in the battery, and added distilled water when required. Adding water was required on occasion because some of the water would boil off under certain conditions. Then, we got the maintenance free battery, which is virtually identical to the older battery design, except that you don't have to perform the maintenance of replenishing the water. It turns out, however, that maintenance free batteries do vent on occasion, and should have water added. But, you can't add water because the battery is sealed. So, the difference between conventional and maintenance free is not that the maintenance free battery doesn't need maintenance, it is that you can't perform the maintenance without voiding the warranty.
The Leopard network preference page won't let you set the parameters that could restore a connection. If the DHCP client doesn't work automatically, you're stuck.

Does macromedia FLV export plugin work with macpro (intel macs)?

i have a macpro, flash professional and quicktime pro. flash professional comes with a FLV quicktime plugin that lets you export to FLV from quicktime. the plugin is installed and is in the quicktime plugin folder but the export option does not appear in the export drop down.
i have the same set up on a PPC mac and i have no problems with exporting FLVs from quicktime pro.
i have the feeling that the plugin doesn't work on intel macs but don't know for sure. is there anyone here who is running an intel mac, quicktime pro and flash professional that can export to FLV from quicktime?
i can't find any information anywhere on this.
thanks

anyone? there's got to be a few of you who have macpro's that are using quicktime pro and flash 8 professional....
any help would be appreciated.

Hover Scrub doesn't work in bin

Hello,
When I hover scrub over my dailies it works fine. However, once I've synced my dailies and sorted my new merged clips into scene bins, they will no longer hover scrub (in the new bins, the raw dailies still do.) Any idea why, and how I might get it to work.
Barring that, how can I change my poster frame in the bin, right now i can't get them to do anything outside of the original raw dailies bin.
Chris Conlee

I have the same experience, once you create a merged clip, hover scrub doesn't work. Maybe a bug? Maybe a limitation of merged clips? I've submitted a bug report..... maybe i'll submit a feature request as well.

Apple DVD Player 5.4 Doesn't Work

I recently updated my MacPro to 10.6.5. Included in this update is a new version of Apple's DVD Player. The new version of DVD Player is 5.4. The installation package includes the application and an entirely new system framework to support it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my system.
As a reference point, my MBP is still running 10.6.4. It has DVD Player 5.2. It works great.
I'm unable to play DVD's or load a VIDEO_TS folder using the latest version of DVD Player on my MacPro. I didn't have any problems with DVD Player up until the Mac OS 10.6.5 update.
Further, VLC on my MacPro works fine. This problem exists for all users on my MacPro.
I tried to reinstall DVD Player 5.4 using Pacifist, but there was no change. I dl'd the 10.6.5 package from Apple when I did this. I also tried to reinstall the 5.4.1 framework.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any known fixes, I prefer to use DVD player over VLC. Nothing against VLC, but DVD Player is a great app when it works.
Thanks!

Yea, I got to thinking about that after I posted. You're right, Boot Camp is safe.
What's very strange is I tried a LOTR DVD over the weekend and it played fine. Thinking it to be a fluke, I tried another ... this time Elf. It worked. I then tried playing from two different VIDEO_TS folders on my HD. They worked too.
I can't explain it. I tried to surgically remove all of the key video player components (including the framework). I then reinstalled these files using the 10.6.5 combo update. No change. I then restored these files using Time Machine (I didn't want to risk messing something else up as there are quite a lot of dependencies stitched together via symlinks at the framework level).
So I should've been back to where I started. A few days later, everything appears to be working.
I have no answers, but I'm glad to have my DVD Player back.
This is off topic, but I also solved a problem I've been having with my mouse for YEARS. I had problems with the Mighty Mouse and later the Magic Mouse on my MacPro. I thought it was my desk. That is, I thought the surface of my desk was causing tracking problems. Very annoying tracking problems. I know, I should've considered bluetooth, but I didn't. To be honest, I wasn't experiencing any other bluetooth related problems so I really thought it was my desk. This problem became unbearable when I was working in Maya last week so I started researching mouse surfaces and mouse pads again (ha!). I inadvertently found this obscure PDF via google. It was written by some guy who was having the same problem 2-3 years ago. Following this guy's procedure, I cracked open my MacPro and moved three difficult to reach wires. Now my Magic Mouse is as smooth as glass. As is my older Mighty Mouse. It turns out that my Airport and Bluetooth modules were wired incorrectly at the factory in China. Honestly, this has been screwed up since 2007. Apparently, this has happened to quite a few people though I never heard about it until now. It would've been nice if Apple would've published something when they discovered they had shipped units with incorrectly wired Bluetooth modules! (if they did, I've yet to find anything from them on the subject). Whatever, I'm glad to have my MacPro's mouse working properly.

VPN doesn't work anymore after 10.6.2 update

Hello to all,
I've a MacPro with 10.6 SnowLeopard server, and until yesterday all was great with 10.6.1.
After update to 10.6.2 plus some airport update, VPN dooesn't work.
Could someone help me?
I use the firewall on Airport extreme (the latest model) and automatically forward VPn setting from SLServer Firewall.
Why it don't go anymore?
thank you to all for help
Marco
Italy

so, I'm trying from home to use VPN:
- if I try from usual user, doesn't work
- if I try from Server Administrator credentials (user + password) it works
Of course I need to use VPN from "normal" client users, not with Administrator credentials
Another strange issue is: in VPN netwotk configaration (client, preferences, network) if I put name and password about one user the 2 field become locked and I must erase that VPN connection and create it again.
If I put the administrator name+psw, the 2 field remaining accesible and unlocked.
I think in Apple they made a very bad job with 10.6.2 and VPN!
has someone any suggestion?
Marco

Qmaster doesn't work as long as i'm connected to the internet

Hi everybody,
my problem is that Qmaster doesn't work for me as long as i'm connected to the internet (Ethernet-DSL-Connection). The renderjob is submitted to BatchMonitor but it doesn't start. As soon as i'm going offline it works fine.
I don't know what's wrong here?! Can anybody help me, please?

Well, last but not least, you could try putting some kind of NAT router (like an Airport Base Station) between you and your internet connection, so that your machine would then have an ip address like 10.0.1.1 that will not resolve to DNS...
This is generally a good policy anyway, since you do not need to be sending and receiving packets from all other DSL users around you anyway...
My nodes all show up as whatever IP they are currently using n the network as well, but none have DNS names, so they just stay numbers...
