How do I pair Auvio ptb500 with Mac Pro running Yosemite?

I have Auvio PTB500, which plays exceedingly well when paired with my iPad. When I try to pair the same speaker with my MacPro running Yosemite, Bluetooth can't find the device. I tried removing  and repairing all devices from Bluetooth on the MacPro. All those devices connected but there was still no recognition of the Auvio. Does it matter that I have other speakers connected to the audio output port on the MacPro?

It might.  support is kinda slim for this so here's what I know. You turn on the Auvio, the bluetooth light on it should flash, then you go to your BT control panel on your Mac Pro, assuming BT is on, then you search for device and it should show up, then you click on pair. All I can say is disconnect the other speakers and give it a try.

  • I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
    If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
    Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

  • Macbook Pro running Snow leaopard can not share screen with Mac Pro running lion with "Back to my Mac"

    Anyone else?  When I use back to my mac, I can get access to the files on my desktop, BUT, I can't screen share.  Screen share is sleected in settings and everything I know to check is set up right.  Back to my Mac ir running on both machines using the same sign in.
    Any ideas?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • How do I scan inside Photoshop with Mac Pro and Epson Artison 710?

    I can print but not import from scanner

    is your scanner software up to date? failing that look for "twain acquire" or "Import". I think Preview will handle scans. maybe photoshop needs a plugin for this, just guessing. I didn't know that Photoshop had scanning capability on its own. I thought it was scan image, save, then Photoshop, but I'm probably wrong..

  • ICal not syncing with Mac Pro running Lion

    I installed Lion so I could sync all my devices. I don't see my iCal events on iCloud, and, naturally, they are not showing up on my iPhone, or my iPad. If I go the iCloud on in my prefrences panel, it just takes me to the website, where there doesn't seem to be settings for iCal activation. What to do?

    On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect then restart your Mac.

  • Installed elements 13 on Mac Pro running yosemite - but can't find elements

    Ive downloaded a free trial from Adobe, and it appears to install successfully, but I can t see it. Tried Finder and searchlight, but no sign of it. I then downloaded Lightroom to see if I could download that ok, and it was fine. This is a brand-new laptop, and has never had Elements installed.

  • Upgraded by Mac Pro to Yosemite 10.10.1. Upgraded iPhoto to 9.6 now cannot open iPhoto.

    I have a Mac Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1.  I upgraded iPhoto to 9.6 and now cannot open iPhoto. I tried several times but have to force quit.  I used the time machine to go back to before the upgrade but the iPhoto copy is just the same - blank screen with the little worm continually turning.
    I do not know where to start

    Do you have a backup you can restore the pictures from?
    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

  • How to get 10 screens on a Mac Pro

    Hi All:
    I'm trying to figure out how to get 10 screens working together like one big desktop on a Mac Pro.
    Currently I have a 12core 2010 Mac Pro with 2 ATI 5770 cards driving 6 30" cinema displays.  Each of these cards are double wide.
    I want to connect 4 65" LED displays. 
    Does anyone have an idea how I can do this?  The Mac Pro has only 4 slots.  The two 5770s take up 3 spaces (because of their doulbe wide size).  The last slot has a OWC solidstate drive there.  I guess I could remove that and use just a regular SATA SSD if need be, but would love to get this done with just 3 slots.
    So some thoughts. There are two possible ways (ideal, and less ideal) that I can think of:
    IDEAL way:
    The ideal would be to find a single wide card that supports 5 or 6 displays, and use that.  I know that some people have had success flashing single wide cards, but it's not clear if all the ports are usable.  See here for an ATI card with 3 ports, single slot, that's been flashed:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-Pro-ATI-Radeon-HD-5770-1GB-Video-Card-Single-S lot-5870-/150928552679?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item23240af2e7
    Also, it's not clear if you could get 4 of those cards working to drive all 10 screens.
    However, there are single wide 5/6 display cards like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150566&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junc tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687
    Has any seen or know of a 5 port card like the above that has been flashed to work in a Mac Pro?
    LESS ideal way:
    My guess is there are some PCI expansion chasis, and I can just put in 2 more regular ATI 5770s there.  I found this:
    http://www.jmr.com/en/products/14/3-slot-pcie-extender/
    and this
    http://www.magma.com/catalog/classic-pci-expansion
    I'm not sure how well these extenders work.
    EVEN LESS ideal way:
    Perhaps getting another Mac or PC and somehow VNC'ing in is an option, but this likely would be too laggy to run video from one computer to the other.  The ideal is to just treat the system like one giant screen, but I'm open to hearing any experiences/suggestions on getting this to work.
    Thanks so much!

    After reading up on it, it seems that the 6850 supports 3 displays. So perhaps I could do one 6870 (4 displays) in slot one, and then 2 single slot 6850's or 5770's in slots 2 and 3. This would give 10 displays.
    I have 3 questions then:
    (1) What is the quietest 6870 card people have successfully used in a Mac Pro?
    (2) What is quietest single slot 6850 or 5770 card successfully used in a Mac Pro?
    (3) Has anyone gotten thiis 5770 single slot card to work on a Mac Pro, and have they gotten 5 display ports to work?

  • Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) using external HD - speed USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA  - what are relative speeds - how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)_

        Hi All,
         I'm trying to resume regular scheduled Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) of drives using external HD (to allow off-site redundant backup storage) .
         What are relative speeds of USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA ?
         I suspect eSATA connection may be considerably faster … how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)?
          ( The quicker and easier backup protocol is, the more likely one is to use it to backup on a routine repetitive basis.)
    Thanks

    Adding a USB 3.0+eSATA PCIe card, which The hatter mentions, is the best solution that I've found. See http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/FASTA6GU3/. The card is not cheap, but the USB 3.0 works flawlessly (which can't be assumed; ask me how I know) and the eSATA connection allows booting from the connected drive. Grant Bennet-Alder's point about HD speed is important to consider; in addition, the size of the individual files being backed up and where on the backup disk they're going will affect overall transfer speed. For example, using the USB 3.0 connection on that CalDigit card going to a Toshiba 3TB external, the transfer rate for a big file (say a virtual machine file) from an internal SSD boot drive was about 145 MB/sec while a bunch of little files might drop to 30 MB/sec and both rates decrease as an inner partition on the external is used. All told, a nearly 700 GB backup took under 1.5 hours. Using a HD as the source added almost an extra hour, though a WD external was used for that. Using a WD green drive plugged into this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ with an eSATA connection took about 2.5 hours also, but that was bootable whereas the USB 3.0 connection is not.
    Another point to consider is that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous on PC's now so there's lots of price competition for externals; not so much for eSATA externals.
