HT203171 Trackpad works very poorly with OSX 10.7.5 on a new Mac Pro
I tried everything in the support article to no avail. The cursor jerks along erratically and is virtually useless except for gestures like changing pages or zooming. Simply selecting a place on the screen to click, however, is tedious and nowhere near as easy as just using my decade old trackball.
Compatible models:
• iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
• MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
• Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
• Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
• Xserve (Early 2009)

It freezes up all the time..."Firefox not responding". Also it will mot allow me to share YouTube videos and Facebook. i have none of these problems with IE or the old Firefox 3.
An update was released today. Give it a spin and see whether it helps! (Currently, I believe you would have to download the full install, but hopefully the update button will start working in a few hours.)
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any problems running Firefox 4 on Windows 7, but I have not tried posting anything to YouTube or Facebook. -
Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse? -
Validate() works very slowly with jse 1.4.2.
Hi, I have a question about the method validate(). I really appreciate it if somebody could help me out.
I have some components (buttons, textfields etc) in a panel. Let me refer it as Panel A. When I click one of the buttons in Panel A, I would like to remove some components and add some other components in Panel A. If I click the same button again, I would like to have Panel A return to the original configuration.
I call method validate() only once after I remove and add components for each click event. This works perfectly with Java 2 runtime environment SE 1.2 and it take very little time. However, this program works very slowly with Java 2 runtime environment SE 1.4. That means with JSE 1.4, after I click the button, the Java applet will still be able to add and remove components, but it take very long time.
Would somebody please give me a hand on this? Thanks a lot!Thanks for mzarra's suggestion. Here is my code:
// Buttons: virtualModelButton
// Panesls: pp_right, pp_right_bottom, pp_button1, pp_right_top2
else if (evt.target == virtualModelButton)
if (virtualModelButton.getLabel() == "Show Virtual Model")
pp_right.remove(pp_right_top);
pp_right.add("North", pp_right_top2);
pp_right_bottom.remove(pp_button1);
pp_right.validate();
virtualModelButton.setLabel("Show Control Panel");
else if (virtualModelButton.getLabel() == "Show Control Panel")
pp_right.remove(pp_right_top2);
pp_right.add("North", pp_right_top);
pp_right_bottom.add(pp_button1, 0);
pp_right.validate();
virtualModelButton.setLabel("Show Virtual Model");

Will FCP 7 Work with New Mac Pros?
Any indication of I will still be able to work in FCP7 on the new Mac Pro 2013? I'm not too keen on FCPX at the moment. Thanks for any info.
All true, however, FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) does run with the current OSX (10.8.4) which is two full versions beyond the last supported one (10.6.8).
So, the real answer is, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?
Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make... -
I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.
I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce -
How to delete picture files ( nikon NeF and jpeg ) with Zero KB size that were downloaded onto mac pro osx vers 10.5.8, 2x2.8 quad core intel Xeon
-- have not been able to move them or move them to trash without crashing Finder ?Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Try trashing them in Safe Mode, reply if that doesn't help. -

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 -
Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?
Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?
Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.

USB keyboard not working on new Mac Pro with Mavericks
I just bought the new Mac Pro and my apple USB keyboard won't work. I have a very old apple USB keyboard that is working but I want to use my newer one. The newer keyboard is a full one also, including the number pad.
Thanksno difference in ports just troubleshooting, ie if it didn't work on any of the 4 ports, likely a kb issue
if it worked on one of the other 3 ports, you have a broken usb port on the mac pro -
I just spent over $4,000.00 for a brand new Mac Pro, 8-Core, Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” processors.
I'm still at the point where I may not be blaming this new computer 100%, but when you upgrade to this extent you expect everything to go faster. You certainly don't expect for things to take longer.
I upgraded from a G5 (not exactly sure what model) running 10.4.11, couldn't go any higher.
My biggest complaint is it takes LONGER to do things!!?? I feel like I'm back in 1999 or 2000. To open an Excel file takes, no kidding, 3-4 minutes. To open a Word file, about 3-4 minutes. I have the newest version of Office there is. Dreamweaver CS5 is slower than ever and jumpy, buggy, what ever word you wanna use. Sending files over to an external server takes 200-300% longer.
I'm really not sure what is going on. Maybe a font conflict issue as I brought all my fonts over from old computer.
Thanks for any advice.Sorry, and of course wish you had asked us first. And read through
http://macperformanceguide.com/index.html - check "topics" there are 100+ with guides to buying, upgrade etc.
One tip: Do a clean install on another drive
Don't migrate applications, install them fresh
make sure everything is current
Your Mac boots by default and requires 64-bit drivers for 64-bit kernel mode
The idea is more cores isn't faster, faster cores are, and even stock 2.8 4-core is a worthy system. Next choice: 3.2 4-core or sweetest of all is 3.33GHZ 6-core
Add RAM to 6 x 4GB or 3 x 8GB for good measure.
Avoid any plug-in or app that is PowerPC and needs to use Rosetta.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
Fonts have been known to conflict, duplicates, even corrupt.
Of course hard to resist migrating. Or taking time, but G5 owners have had to redo everything and that does work.
A test: do a clean install on another hard drive, do the updates, try that and see how well it goes.
Keep boot drive to just OS + applications and mini-home folder
2nd drive for media library, data
3rd scratch, with a small 30GB Mac OS X just for repairs and emergency use
Try a new user account.
See if you are booting in 32-bit mode
Repair your system with FSCK
Do Safe Mode once
Any cables, peripherals, out of date drivers for printers, external hard drives.
Hard drives that were formatted by G5 using Apple Partition Map should be reformatted to GUID. All. If you brought your old G5 system drive over, move the files to a data drive and reformat. Don't leave the OS from G5 around. -
