HELP. Safari on my new Mac Pro won't open my own webpage.

I have just changed platforms from PC to Apple Mac with the sole purpose of generating new content for my web page www.austin-thomas.co.uk
Unfortunately, I cannot open my own web page using Safari on my Mac Pro running Leopard, although I can access other web sites without problems. I have tried my web site on several other Macs running Safari and Leopard and it loads as normal. I still have my PC linked though the same router as the Mac Pro and I can access the site OK via Windows Internet Explorer, so I don't believe it is a router or a permissions problem.
Any help or suggestions is gratefully appreciated as I have a new and expensive computer that for some strange reason is not compatible with my website.
Many thanks in advance,
Austin

It sounds like it's just timing out trying to access parts of the website.
Can you try changing your DNS settings to those provided by [OpenDNS|https://www.opendns.com/start] to see if that makes a difference? The linked website has easy to follow directions.
I've seen the occasional post that also mentions power cycling the router sometimes helps (even when their other connected computers were behaving fine - don't ask me how that works... )

  • New Mac Pro won't stay asleep

    Hi everyone. I took delivery of my new Mac Pro a few days ago. It's the highest spec model (12 core, 64gb memory, 2 x 6gb graphics and 1TB SSD). It's connected to two 30" screens and networked to a Windows storage server.
    The problem I have is that it won't stay asleep. Basically after being asleep for a couple of minutes the screens suddenly come back on and the login window appears as though somebody has pressed a key. After a minute or so it goes back to sleep and then it wakes up again and continues in a cycle.
    I have tried making sure all programs are closed and nothing is running at all but it still happens.
    I just wonder if anyone else has had this issue or might know a solution?

    Okay thanks for all the help guys, I've discovered what the problem is but not how to fix it.
    I unplugged everything but the bare minimum and the computer stayed asleep just fine. I then plugged everything in one thing at a time and tested. The culprit was one of my screens! I have an NEC Spectraview Reference 301 screen. It worked just fine on my old Mac Pro but when this screen is powered up the new Mac Pro will not stay asleep for more than 1 minute. My other screen is an Apple Cinema display and this works just fine on its own.
    The solution for now is that I have to remember to hit the power button on the NEC screen before I leave the computer. This is fine but I'd love to find out what's causing this issue so I don't have to remember every time! I'm thinking maybe the NEC has some built in power settings so I'm going to fiddle with them now. If anyone else has any further ideas I'd love to hear them!

  • New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

    Hi,
    Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
    Thanks for any info...

    Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
    Thanks again,
    Jacki

  • Help with buying a new Mac Pro

    Hi all,
    I'm currently in the market for a new Mac Pro, as I seem to be stretching the boundaries of what my MBP can do in a reasonable amount of time. After reading these forums for a while, I still have some questions/concerns about my needs that I hope someone can answer.
    I will be using the Mac Pro for web development (CS4 and CS5 down the road), video editing on FCE, and possibly audio work in the future. I'm about to graduate college and am still somewhat unsure if I will be using more powerful software in the immediate future. One other thing, I tend to have a bunch of apps open at once (Mail, Safari, FF, VMWare, MSOffice, iCal, etc.), and I don't want to have to close them all out to get decent speeds when rendering video. I currently don't use any "Pro" apps (FCP/LogicPro), but I haven't ruled them out for future use.
    Would I be better suited with the 2.66 Quad (possibly 2.93) or with a 2.26 Octo? I'm concerned the Quad would have a much shorter life with the 4 RAM slot limitation, but paying for the Octo and leaving a bunch of cores idle would not be ideal either. I'm planning on buying before SL release, because I want to be able to install it on my own terms.
    Any input appreciated,
    Ty

    I think the quad has a lot of potential and even with 'only' 16GB RAM (4 x 4GB) you shouldn't be hurting.
    Nothing you listed should be a significant bottleneck. And if that day comes, there will be equally more powerful bass level systems.
    Most of the non-intense apps will only use a small small fraction of your resources. The 2.66 is nice and will throttle up or down as needed, and just surfing etc run @ 1.6GHz. iTunes for now is 'out of control' and buggy.
    Q: you want to buy now also to use your student discount I assume.

  • New Mac Pro Won't play back

    I'm having a problem with my new Mac Pro 2.66 I keep getting the error, "couldn't keep up". I've got maybe 5 tracks (Kontakt 2,Real Guitar, and EXS) and a couple plug ins and I can't get it to play. I press the space bar and it spins for a sec...plays maybe 1 second and then quits...pops up with the message saying it couldnt access info fast enough. I had my samples on a different computer networked via gigabit but some said that was the problem so I transfered them to a seperate internal (sata 2) drive and it still doesn't work. My CPU is either very low or it maxes out 2 or 3 of the cores before the freeze. I can't believe this is happening with this machine. This is why I got a new one. anyways...thanks for all suggestions.

    Same problems here without any Native Instruments plugs.
    4 tracks at the same time (2 audio and 2 nexus((or any other instruments))
    apple says: we don´t now about this problem and because my 90 day!!! support is finish I have to pay 208EUR and than they help me.
    On my old PC with Logic 5.51 have I no problems.
    I must press play on the mac again and again and than Logic
    plays.
    Same problem with the original mac pro HD or a second HD.

  • New Mac Pros won't connect to the first startup volume

    I have five new Mac Pros running 10.4.8; I set a couple network volumes as startup items which has always worked fine before. But on these new machines, no matter what the first startup volume is, it gives me this error:
    Connection failed
    The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
    Then goes on to connec to the next volume fine. We have a Win2K Server and a Win2003 Server, and it acts the same way with both of them. It seems like something on the Mac must be timing out too fast. I have checked the logs and they don't help me at all. I have repaired permissions, run FSCK, done all the periodic maintenance and safe-booted but none of it has helped. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks!

    Though this TIL says 10.3.9 or earlier, I find this might apply...
    "Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications" option in Network preferences can sometimes cause this issue. "
    As well as a few other possibilities...

  • My bran new Mac Pro, won't recognize my external hard drive?

    Hello,
         I just got the new mac pro about a month ago (the cylindrical kind) it has 16 MGs of ram and 250 GBs. I got a 2 TB external hard drive for time machine, and i already have a 500 GB portable hard drive for transferring files. They worked fine initially, but the computer has stopped seeing them all together. I've already restarted my computer several times. I plug them in, they light up, but the icon doesn't appear on the desktop or finder or even in disk utility. I've tested my portable drive on my laptop and it works fine, so its not the external hard drive or the cords. I also tested a flash drive and an external CD drive in the USB ports and they work fine, so i've deduced that its not a hardware issue. The best i can come up with is that its a softwear issue, but i have no idea how that would even work. Has anyone else heard of this?
         On a side note: before the computer stopped reading my hard drives, they kept unplugging themselves and saying "this hard drive was not removed properly" and then they would reappear without me touching them. I'm pretty sure this is the root of the problem. I'm out of ideas and google hasn't revealed anything to me, so if anyone knows whats going on i would really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Neither hard drive is working on the mac pro. They do not appear in disk utility.
    My chords seem fine. I don't have another cable to try on the Mac Pro. but both cables worked on my 2011 macbook pro with my external hard drive. my 2TB didn't work on my macbook pro however... it didn't even appear in disk utility. I wonder though if that has to do with the usb 3. I know my laptop has USB 2 and my external hard drive is USB 3 and i'm not sure if its backwards compatible.
    I have tried all of the USB ports on the Mac Pro, the hard wear seems fine.
    I will try resetting the SMC shortly and see if that works.

  • BRAND NEW Mac Pro won't boot from Leopard DVD, kernel panics!

    I just received my brand new Mac Pro today. It's a BTO machine with the upgrade to the NVIDIA 8800GT, a second optical drive and a Mac OS X Server license. The system has Mac OS X server installed on the default 320GB drive. I decided to use the server license as a virtual machine running in Leopard client. So, I installed 2 new 500GB Seagate 7200.11 (Retail) drives in the machine, zeroed them out in prep for installing Leopard client.
    At this point, I pop in a freshly-purchased retail copy of the Leopard DVD and restart. When I try to boot from the DVD and install Leopard to one of the new Seagate drives, I get kernel panics - need to restart the machine. Also tried booting from the Mac OS X Server DVD and this too only caused kernel panics. The DVD's read perfectly from within Mac OS X Server and boot from hard disks is flawless.
    I spent an hour on the phone with a level 2 tech at Apple - Tried swapping out the RAM and moving around the DIMMS to no avail. I am at a loss to what this could be. Seems to be a hardware issue and the tech thought it was likely a problem with one of the memory risers but couldn't send replacements. Anyone else with a similar issue?
    This is my first Mac and it looks like this Mac Pro is going back for an exchange and I'll have to wait yet another 10-12 days for a replacement to arrive. Bummer.
    Am I missing something simple here? Does this seem to be a hardware issue?
    If anyone has any ideas before I ship this one back, please write!!!

    New Mac Pros will not install the Leopard retail disc. They will only install the Leopard disc which shipped with them labeled Mac Pro. That has always been true. Macs can only boot the system that ships on DVD in the box that came with them, and newer retail releases. They can never boot from an older retail release than what shipped in the box.

  • New Mac Pro - won't boot up with SSD drives attached

    I have a new Mac Pro. It came with the stock 1TB HD. I installed two OWC SSD drives in the two optical drive bays. I booted up and the MacPro saw the two new drives. I set up the two new drives into a RAID0 setup with Disk Utility which worked fine. Then I cloned the 'Macintosh HD' drive so that I could use the two new SSDs as my boot drive.
    When I removed the stock 1TB drive the machine will not boot up. I am stuck on the gray startup screen and it never even makes it to the Apple logo.
    Even worse, when I reconnect the stock 1TB drive the machine will still not boot up if either or both of the SSD drives are connected. When I remove the SSD drives the machine boots fine.
    Very weird - must be some weird RAID stuff going on.
    Any ideas?
    David

    Hi dschamis
    Just out of interest, what application did you use to clone from your HDD to the OWC SSD?
    I had the same problem, but I was using only one SSD, when I cloned from a VelociRaptor 300GB HDD to an OCZ Agility EX SSD in December 2009.
    The SSD "bricked", and when I contacted OCZ they told me that they did not recommend cloning from a HDD to a SSD. In fact they definitely advised against doing so.
    I had used SuperDuper to clone from the HDD to the SSD.
    When I received the replacement SSD ( OCZ sent me their top of their range Vertex EX), I didn't take any chances, and I did a clean install of the Mac OS and all my applications.
    Everything was 100% OK, and I have not had a single problem with the SSD since then, but I never clone to it or from it. I just use Time Machine to back up to a WD My Book SE II 2T external drive, but I do have the original 640GB Apple (WD) HDD as a backup/emergency system boot drive in an external enclosure.
    I have just ordered, and received, an OWC MercuryExtreme Pro RE SSD, which I will be using as my system boot drive solely for my photography related applications, and I will use the Vertex EX for the remainder of my applications.
    However, I am not even going to risk using SuperDuper to clone the OS or any of the applications from the Vertex EX to the OWC SSD, although OCZ said it was OK to clone from SSD to SSD, and I will do a clean install of the Mac OS and the photography related applications on the Mercury Extreme Pro RE SSD.
    Hope all goes well when you receive your replacement SSD.
    If in doubt do a clean install of the Mac OS!
    Regards,
    Bill

  • New MacBook Pro won't open iPhoto 09

    I have a new 15" MacBookPro and cannot open iPhoto. The message reads "You can't open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac." I used Migration Assistant which moved over the applications yesterday -- took over 5 hours and didn't move the documents at all.
    After reading in some posts somewhere that iLife '09 needed to be purchased separately, I took out my iLife family pack, and ran the install for it on the new MacBook Pro.
    I tried to install iLife Support 9.0.3 but got a message that "This update does not need to be installed. A newer version of this software is already installed." Garageband boots up fine.
    There is only one iPhoto application installed and it is version 8.1.2. Says it's an Application (PowerPC)
    Is my Mac defective?? Is there an explanation or a fix for this?

    Why did you do that? iLife (including iPhoto) comes preinstalled on all new systems - moving iPhoto from another computer is not necessary and does not work
    After reading in some posts somewhere that iLife '09 needed to be purchased separately, I took out my iLife family pack, and ran the install for it on the new MacBook Pro.
    Did you delete the iPhoto receipts ("your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) prior to doing this install?

    Very doubtful
    Is there an explanation or a fix for this?
    It is possible that the iPhoto application is just fine and it is only your library - to test that depress the option key and launch iPhoto - create a new library and import a few photos into it and test it - if that works then the application is ok - to switch back to the main library you will need to repeat the option - launch.
    Once you have the iPhoto application straightened out, It it likely that your iPhoto library did not transfer correctly - Migration assistance does not always do a good job on the iPhoto library - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • New Mac Pro Won't see MBox

    While I know that Digidesign does not support Leopard. I have been using my MBox for sound in and out using the program Amadeus. This works fine on iMac and Mac G5 and Powerbook G4. (all running Leopard).
    The sound preferences panel and the MIDI setup on my Mac Pro do not even see my MBox when it is plugged into a USB port.
    Any ideas would be appreciated
    Thanks

  • Drive On Mac Pro Won't Open For Firmware Restoration?

    Hi--
    My Mac Pro (early 2008 model, OS 10.6.8) has recently begun having problems that seem firmware-related. When put in "Sleep" mode overnight, it wakes up on its own after about two hours of sleep and remains awake.  Also, from time to time it will display the prompt window ("Do You Want To Shut Down?") for a hard (button) shutdown---without the button having been pressed. Resetting the SMC and the PRAM solves the problem for awhile, but it's becoming necessary to do that more and more frequently---at first, the problem occured about every six months, then weekly, until now I'm getting the shutdown prompt and have to reset the SMC almost every day.
    Internet searches of this and other forums have indicated that a possible solution is restoring the firmware.  I have made a Firmware Restoration CD but I cannot get the machine to recognize it. That is, when I press and hold the startup button I get the "three long-three short-three-long" beeps; according to Apple's FAQ on ths subject, the optical drive door should then open and allow me to insert the Firmware Restoration disk, but that doesn't happen--the computer just goes right on with the normal startup sequence.
    Please advise.

    all I can do is tell you what I've learned here-try either one of these-hold down the shift key on startup/hold down the mouse on startup/if not,  See if you can boot up in single user mode/reset NVRAM,(command option, o+F)on reboot . Failing that....pull down the optical drive door, and using a straightened extra study paperclip, find the small hole near the optical drive tray. Stick that paperclip in and the tray should open up just enough for you to grab it and put the cd in there. Maybe then, start up holding down the C key......
    just a guess though
    Good luck to you

  • New Mac Mini won't open DVD Player, I get an error

    This is a brand new mac mini (latest model bought two days ago), just opened and tried to open DVD player without any media on the DVD drive and the DVD Player doesn't open and I get this error:
    There was an initialization error.
    A valid video device could not be found for playback (-70017)
    What could that be?
    Wilfredo.

    No. The DVD Player always open even if there is no media in the drive.
    The problem was the Region. I needed to set the region on the drive, but the error message never told what was the problem, I had to figure it out myself.

  • New MacBook Pro won't open/load .dmg files

    I have new MacBook Pro, purchased in January 2014.  I have downloaded two .dmg files - and neither will load!!  I downloaded the first from www.blurb.com.  It's called booksmart.  But, after I've downloaded the file, I notice that Finder has it listed as a "document file" ??!?  What do I do??  thanks

    TextileMama,
    have you tried renaming booksmart to booksmart.dmg, to see if Finder then considers it executable?

  • New mac pro (2014) specs for production company help

    Hey guys new to the forum!
    I work for a production company that makes mainly online corporate video and motion graphics, lots of character animation, typography pieces and bits and pieces of 3D work with cinema 4d r14. We currently work on 2009 mac workstations which have the following specs:
    Model Name:          Mac Pro
    Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
    Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed:          3.2 GHz
    Number Of Processors:          2
    Total Number Of Cores:          8
    L2 Cache (per processor):          12 MB
    Memory:          16 GB
    Bus Speed:          1.6 GHz
    Chipset Model:          ATI Radeon HD 2600
    I've been asked to get some specs because we plan on buying the new mac pro and I have been reading some articles regarding performance with After Effects but in all honesty i really don't understand what sort of specs i need because i'm good at designing and animating but it when it comes to CPU, GPU talk it's all very confusing!
    My boss wants faster previews, faster render times and an all round better performance than what we have now, and with the possibility of outputting 4K in the near future i have to bear that in mind as well.
    If you guys could give me a helping hand choosing a new mac pro i would be eternally grateful!                         
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The new Mac Pros are, without a doubt, amazing machines. But are they value for money?
    A significant cost in these machines is the high end AMD GPUs, which is utilised very well by Apple in their own software like Final Cut Pro X, Compressor and Motion.  If you use those a lot, it's a no brainer. Place your order.
    Premiere Pro CC has  support for the GPUs (one GPU during playback, but can utilise both during renders.)
    There has been no pledge from Adobe for After Effects support. AE's ray-traced 3D render engine has been virtually abandoned by Adobe, so there will never be support for AMD CPUs for it. They are now more focussed on integration with Maxxon's Cinema 4D as a 3D alternative, but Cinema 4D exclusively renders with the CPU – no GPU benefit.
    The AE team are hinting about substantial multi-processing enhancements in the next major update, so it seems After Effects users will continue to be better off with faster multi-core CPUs, rather than expensive GPUs. With more CPU cores comes the need for more RAM.
    Some third party vendors of AE plugins, like VideoCopilot's Element 3D and Optical Flares, have pledged support for the Mac Pro GPUs. But the problem with intertwining CPU-dependent software with GPU-dependent plugins is you need to turn off multi-processing to get the best results, negating the value of your powerful Mac Pro CPU.
    Photoshop and Indesign rarely need the balls of a machine like the new Mac Pro. The new high-speed SSDs will certainly make them run faster than your average iMac, but it's not a HUGE leap for the cost difference.
    The benchmarks I've seen on media encoding for the new Mac Pros are a little underwhelming, to be honest. They're fast, yes, but not twice as fast as a $4000 iMac, despite a high-end machine being twice (or more) expensive.
    So, as a primarily Adobe user, I'm a bit torn. Personally, I think my money will be better spent buying a high-spec iMac for now. I can always on-sell it in 6 months if Adobe prove they are really coming to the party with Mac Pro support. But right now I'm not seeing proof of the benefits (from Adobe) in buying a $6K+ machine.
    If you are determined to buy the new Mac Pro, and After Effects and C4D are your primary tools, get the most powerful CPU you can afford, make sure you have at least 3-4GB of RAM for each CPU, and keep the lowest-specced GPUs.

Maybe you are looking for
