Just got my Mac Pro. Any issues with 10.4.10

I seem to recall issues with 10.4.10 on the Intel machines. Is that true? If so, what? I have 10.4.9 right now

I've had my Mac Pro since April and have all the latest software without any issues. Just follow all the usual upgrade precautions.

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

Just Got My Mac Pro: Initial Response

I've been a Windows user my entire life and ordered a Mac Pro for film editing because I wanted something stable.
The computer arrived today and I was very impressed when I first unboxed the machine - impressed with the looks and the ease of adding my seperate hard drive I bought for it.
However on turning on the machine I was very dissapointed at how inaccurate the mouse pointer is. I thought it could be tied to the wired mighty mouse that came with it so I hooked up my logitech optical from my windows machine and that was not much more accurate on the Mac.
I thought it might be an issue tied just to my own Mac but then I mentioned the issue to a friend of mine whose parents have a Mac and he said he experienced the very same thing when he first used their Imac (he is also a Windows user).
Has anyone else noticed this? There is no doubt the accuracy of my logitech mouse on my windows machine is much more accurate than on my Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro if I move the mouse around fast there is no problem. The problem comes when I am trying to put the pointer on a very small area, like the red x to close the window - then it can be tough to put the pointer in the right place.

"I have no clue what
you guys mean by a difference in accuracy. " I mean, say I want to quickly put the pointer on the very bottom of the Y on the "post Message: Reply" that I'm looking at now as I reply to this message. On my windows machine I can put the tip of the mouse pointer right on that small point in just one try. If I try to do the same with Mac Pro, it takes me 2 or three tries. As I bring in the pointer and try to put it on the very small area, the accuracy starts to go out the window, and sometimes very suttle moves of the mouse do not move the mouse pointer at all.
If lasers are supposed to be very precise then I will try one of those at some point. Really there seems to be no other solution. I'll probably go to Microcenter and try the mouse on their Mac Pro to see if theirs does it. I worked on their machine a little before I bought mine and don't recall any issues with mouse movement on their machine, so maybe this is tied to just a small number of machines.
And yes, I have also seen threads of this issue elsewhere as well for one here:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OperatingSystems/Macintosh/Q21450924.html?query=mousemovesslow&topics=22
What this guy is describing pretty much mirrors what I'm experiencing.
This is the second such topic I have seen on this
issue, and I am totally puzzled. I have no clue what
you guys mean by a difference in accuracy. I suggest
getting a Laser mouse if you are experiencing
problems with an Optical. You should also try turning
the mouse sensitivity all the way down, that should
greatly help accuracy. Despite being a gaming mouse
the DPI adjustments on the G5/7 are quite useful in
creative apps as you can adjust the speed of the
pointer on-the-fly.
I just don't get the problem :S your example: "The
problem comes when I am trying to put the pointer on
a very small area, like the red x to close the window
- then it can be tough to put the pointer in the
right place. "
On 2000 DPI I have no problems hitting the x and that
should be the hardest due to the extreme speed.
In any case don't click the x, that's the newbie
way... use apple-w to close windows and apple-q to
quit apps.

Mac Pro having issues with widgets after booting in 64-bit mode

I tried the temp 64-bit boot (holding down 6 and 4 on startup), Mac Pro boots fine. I've noticed a difference in how my system runs n 64-bit. Much peppier. But the one thing I've noticed is that widgets are coming up strange. More specifically, The Weather Network, Conversion, and Translate widgets. The letters and numbers are coming up as outlined boxes. The drop down menus still work, the names just don't come up. ie. In the Conversion widget, the drop down menu name is boxes, but when you click on it, you can see the names of the selections. But as soon as you choose one, the letters turn to boxes.
I've restarted my computer to boot back in 32-bit, and don't see the same issues. Is anyone aware of this, what's causing it, and if there is a fix? Thanks.

HI Eric,
Some widgets and browser plugins as well such as Flash aren't supported in 64-bit. Some widgets were originally written for PowerPC platforms.
Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Just got the Mac Pro

Hey everyone,
I am new to the community and a convert to the Mac. Last week on Friday I ordered the 2009 Mac Pro 2.26ghz Nahelem x2/ 6gb ram/ 640gb hd/ airport card/ student MS Office / 4870 Radeon HD.
I do 3d modeling and rendering along with video editing and my g@d this thing is fast! I absolutely love it. It is such an amazing machine and very quiet. I like to keep my legs near it since it turns into a nice warmer
I am getting an additional 8gb of ram sent over so that would put me at 14gb ram. The mac pro can support 14 correct? I know it can go more, but is 14 an appropriate number? More importantly I know that it came with 6x1gb sticks so I believe i have 2 open slots.
Glad to be part of the family!

What is your reason for needing a 17"? If it's portability throughout the office, from desk to desk, then yes, but traveling with etc. You're more better off with a 15" imo. If you're not moving it at all, then Mac pro of course.
The base 17" MBP is $2800. Have you seen the refurbished section recently?? Dam n!! They got a whole array of deals. These stick out in particular (equal or less in price of the 17")

Refurbished is gold imo, same warranty, same everything, the only thing different is the box you get it in.

Just got the mac pro and mouse will not connect.

I've googled the heck out of it and can't find anything wrong. At this point I don't know what else to say but, the mouse isn't working. Checked batteries, went through ALL processes, and nothing seems to work. All I get it the green status light blinking or it will say it's connected for 30 secs but doesn't do anything. If anyone else has any other help or info I would appreciate it.

How far is you mouse from the back of your mac pro and is there anything between those two points? Beyond about 3 to 4 feet the MM on a mac pro for many people is problematic. Here's a 24-page thread on this topic:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Bottom line, use a bluetooth dongle (that what I use -- IOGear GBU421) or wire up an external antenna to the bluetooth card inside your mac pro.
As an experiment you could try doing a smc and pram reset and keep the mouse close to the back of your machine and seeing if it pairs up and stays connected.

New Mac Pro display issues with Thunderbolt display

When connected to a 27inch Thunderbolt display after a while I get vertical blue lines on the display. If I plug my Macbook Air into the screen, after a while the blue lines clear. How do I find out if it's the Mac Pro or the Display?

Thanks Turbostar, that's exactly right, it takes about 30 minutes having the Air plugged in and the stripes disappear.

I just got the mac pro retina notebook 13' and i can't get my iPhone songs onto my computer. They are in my i tunes. Its like i can't even find a spot to let them be synced.

Welcome to the Apple Community Pattylea.
Have you logged into iTunes and set the computer to sync with the phone.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Just got new Mac Pro... what to deactivate on my old Mac?

Anyone know of any lists of software that needs to be deactivated before moving to a new computer?
So for, I have found:
iTunes
Adobe CS5
Gridiron Flow
Genarts Sapphire
Kindle for Mac

You don't need to 'deactivate' anything. Use migration assistant.

When do Boot Camp updates come? Mac Pro SATA issue driving me NUTS

I just got a Mac Pro, FINALLY, and after a long wait, I've had to suffer through hours of shoving Windows XP on my Mac Pro with Boot Camp 1.1. After successfully getting it all put on there, the stupid SATA issues are driving me nuts. I tried the slipstreaming fix TWICE, and I have no patience to try it a third.
Basically, I know 1.1 just came out, but do we know when the next update will come that will supposedly fix the SATA issues? How often do updates come for this so we can have a basic window of when the update will come?

but to expect Apple to support Windows SATA driver issue IMHO is not a fair expectation of Apple
I disagree… in this case at least. Apple has stated that Boot Camp is a feature of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and to not have it work correctly, or to its potential, on their flagship product, the Mac Pro, as it were intended then this makes it unacceptable. For Apple's customers and for Apple themselves.
Apple IS ultimately responsible for having this work out of the box and with standard off the shelf product, which includes the minimum Windoews product (Microsoft Windows XP SP2 at this time).
Bear in mind that Boot Camp is still in beta so demanding a fix is a little difficult and the the part that I feel is unfair to Apple. While I have stated previously (in another thread) that Apple will fix this issue… they can't not, it appears the reality may be a little more difficult. It is possible that upon the release of Leopard the minimum system requirements on the Mac Pro will be Windows Vista.
What I find a little odd though is that there are no SATA issues on the rest of the Mac product line.

Just Bought a Mac Pro... Question about an upgrade

So I just got my mac pro home... 2.66, 5gig, 250gig, 23 apple screen.
Absolutly love the machine. blazing fast and it does everything.
I put windows on it with bootcamp and wanted to try a serious video game on it to test how it handled it.
I was pleased but not thrilled with the results. The game ran great on the settings the game put the game at. But when I started to turn the res and details up... I turned it up to the max (ps this was the new hitman game). It loaded the game, and the game looks amazing, but its choppy as heck.
The video card that I have in there is the GeForce w/ 256 ram on it.
My Question is... can I send that video card to apple and have them give me a bigger video card with me only having to pay the difference?
If thats a no, since the website store allows for multiple video cards in the computer, could I just add another more serious video card ontop of the one thats in there to increase the graphics capabilities of it?
All is is appreciated.

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Apple will not exchange the video card with an upgraded one. The only way to do this would have been with a build to order. Your best bet is to put that card on eBay and buy the new X1900 XT. The standard card in the MacPro isn't really designed for gaming but the X1900 is the best there is right now.

I've got a mac pro problem with the starting up, but also a red light on the logic board solidly on. Its not among the diagnostic led. It's located near the BT adapter and the front fans. Also the fans run loud also. any solutions?

Hi
I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
thanks and hope for your best solutions
Kari

I can't help directly with your problem but you might check here http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/macpro/ for a service manual which could answer your question.
