Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush, but only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag).
Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
Any help would be great, Thanks

Design flaw in Macbook Pro late 2013?

Hi,
Looks like Macbook Pro late 2013 has a weakness, due to a design flaw. Let me explain:
My Macbook Pro late 2013 (13inch, Model: A1502) developed a dent (see attachment) and an Apple Store (Genius Bar) technician told me that this is a result of "excessive pressure" on the bottom case. He also mentioned that because the case is made of soft aluminium and it is only supported around the border (about where the screws are located), any "excessive" pressure in the middle may result into the aluminum case being damaged by the internal components; in this case the damage appears to have been caused by an internal bracket.
There is no sign of the bottom case being pushed inwards, there hasn't been any accident and I haven't stepped, or sat on, or otherwise mistreated my laptop, so I very surprised! Most of the time, it's sitting flat on a desk and only carried insider a padded pouch, inside a laptop-grade (padded) backpack! As you'll notice in the photo (and I can provide more photos, if needed), there is absolutely no other sign of damage, the curves look perfect, and the back plate is flat.
This is just a cosmetic damage and replacing the bottom case is the obvious solution but I still need to better understand the circumstances; I need to understand what went wrong and, if possible, how to prevent this from happening in the future .
I visited iFix it web site and carefully looked at the internals of the laptop, here:
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Late+2013+Tea rdown/18695
It looks like the bottom base is only supported around its border. The middle of the bottom case has no backing to support it. While Apple could have designed a support structure around the battery cells and over the motherboard (logic board) and the back case, there is no support structure at all. Hence, pressing on the back of the laptop uniformly (e.g. while in a loaded backpack) will probably result to the back case being pushed inwards and, while aluminium does have some degree of elasticity, it can get damaged when hitting on a sharp object, such as an internal bracket. Hence, I guess the Apple technician is right, this is what probably happened to my laptop and I think this may have happened only in my backpack. But, how “excessive” can the pressure be on a Macbook Pro inside a high-quality, padded backpack?
If there are other MBPr users who have experienced this problem under normal everyday use, i.e. not due to an accident, could you please let me know?
I'd be grateful if Apple:
* Looked into this and provided a workaround, e.g. a more durable bottom case.
* Considered replacing our damaged cases for free.
* Published some numbers, to inform prospective customers about the durability of the laptop's case, e.g. in N/cm^2
* Took our experience into consideration when designing their new laptops.
Kind regards.

" I need to understand what went wrong and, if possible, how to prevent this from happening in the future"
So what's underneath the area w/ the "blister"?
"It looks like the bottom base is only supported around its border. The middle of the bottom case has no backing to support it."
That's pretty much been the case w/ every MBP I've ever had apart. Nothing past 2012 however.
" While Apple could have designed a support structure around the battery cells and over the motherboard (logic board) and the back case, there is no support structure at all"
In earlier versions of the MBP there is a "separator" between two areas of the upper case but it doesn't supply any support to the bottom case.
So here's my take on this; Apple has made these MBPs thinner and thinner. In the MBPs I've taken apart 2008 - 2012. In the 2010 I have here the bottom case is very thick and judging by tapping on it is definitely tempered (or heat hardened or stress hardened). I don't have the proper caliper but the edge reads .044 Inch.
There have been other issues on these communities that relate to the thinness of the top or the bottom cases in these newer machines.
Never seen a newer machine but my feeling is judging by the issues seen around here is that the materials are much thinner and probably not as hardened or tempered.
" how “excessive” can the pressure be on a Macbook Pro inside a high-quality, padded backpack?"
To help prevent this from happening again and if this were my MBP I would use/make a hardened case just for the laptop. Say two sheets of 1/4" hardboard w/ a 1/4" separator of high density foam. Wait I'm describing a high quality laptop case.
As Ogelthorpe says, backpacks are not the most delicate way of transporting a laptop. I've seen damage worse than this to laptops, iPads, iPhones, Kindles etc. Especially at the school where I was the main tech. I would say: "What happened to this?" and the kid would say: "I dunno it was just in my backpack".
I've watched backpacks fall from shelves, get stuck in lockers and get smashed into each other in the hallway.
I'm sure you're much more delicate w/ your MBP but as the saying goes ".... happenes!"

Installing windows 7 on mac book pro late 2013

Installing Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013
Background
Mac Book Pro Late 2013 uses a USB 3.0 hub for the external ports, the keyboard and mouse devices.
Windows 7 does not have the drivers to support USB 3.0 ports so these must be integrated into the boot.wim and install.win files so that Win7 can be installed and used on a Mac. If these drivers are not integrated when win7 is booted up then the mouse and keyboard will not function.
Requirements:
Two USB Flash drives
Access to a Mac computer
Bootcamp Assistant application
Access to a Windows computer with windows 7 installed
Windows 7 install disk or ISO file
WinUSB application
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 (WAIK)
Method
On a Mac
First prepare a USB Flash drive by formatting it using disk util app, found in Application Utility folder, to FAT format this will store the Apple drivers that can be downloaded from Apple using BootCamp.
This will be called USB1
Using Boot Camp Assistant select 'Download the latest windows support software from Apple' to get the files from apple for win7 for your particular machine these will be downloaded and copied to the USB Flash drive called USB1.
On a PC
Using a PC download a copy of WinUSB from www.joshcellsoftwares.com this software can create a bootable USB with the win 7 files copied on to it.
Obtain a copy of Windows 7 either in DVD or ISO format.
Using WinUSB and the Win7 DVD create a second bootable USB Flash drive. This will be called USB 2.
About DISM
DISM is a windows application that allows the editing of windows image files with the extension of WIM.
If DISM is not installed on the PC it can be downloaded from windows website.
To test to see if DISM is installed, open up a command prompt. Then type 'dism' without the quotes this will display the help description of DISM.
Drivers
The apple drivers need to be added to the boot.wim file so that mouse and keyboard can function during the setup phase.
The apple drivers need to be added to the install.wim so that mouse and keyboard can function after the setup phase.
The video drivers are also added as it appears to cause problems if they are not included.
Create a directory structure like this:
c:\appleboot\
drvrs
mount
win7x64install
win7x64boot
Create the following files in c:\appleboot\ with the following code:
adddrivers.cmd
color 0a
dism /image:c:\appleboot\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\appleboot\drvrs /recurse
================================================================================ ==========
mountboot.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
mountinstall.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
unmountcommitfiles.cmd
color 0a
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount /commit
================================================================================ ==========
Copy the following files into their respective directories:
Copy from USB 1 into drvrs the $WinPEDriver$ directory
Copy from USB 2 \sources\boot.wim to win7x64boot directory, this will store the original file
Copy from USB 2 \sources\install.wim to win7x64install directory, this will store the original file
Then copy boot.wim from win7x64boot directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Then copy install.wim from win7x64install directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Once all the copying is completed then run the following cmd files in this order:
For boot.wim
mountboot.wim.cmd - this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted boot.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the boot.wim
For install.wim
mountinstall.wim.cmd- this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted install.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the install.wim
Copy the files back to USB 2
Copy the boot.wim and install.wim files from c:\appleboot\ directory to USB 2 sources directory and overwrite the files.
BOOTABLE USB
You will now have a bootable USB Flash Drive that has the additional drivers needed to install Win7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013.
Mac Preparation
On your Mac using Disk Util reduce the size of the partition of Macintosh HD so that there is approx. 80GB free for the use of Win7.
Add a second partition, label it win7 and format it to FAT. This is so that win 7 setup can identify the correct partition.
Installing Windows 7
Insert USB 2 into your Mac and reboot, whilst holding the option key down.
After reboot there will be three icons displayed one is the Mac operating system, the second is the recovery partition and the third is an orange icon indicating a bootable USB drive.
Select this and win7 setup application will proceed to boot up with the keyboard and mouse functioning.
Follow the prompts and when the drive selection appears select the win7 partition and format it to NTFS so that win7 can be installed. When windows setup reboots press and hold down the option key and select the windows partition so that setup can continue to install.
After completion of installation of win7 insert USB 1 with the additional apple drivers. Goto the bootcamp directory and click on setup.exe file this will install additional drivers needed to use Win7 on a Mac.
Once completed reboot your Mac and select windows to allow the drivers to update in windows.

Yes this is correct that the /index:4 refers to the ultimate version of windows in mountinstall.wim.cmd
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
Users should do what applekryzzle suggested if you have a different version of windows. Thanks for the tip applekryzzle.
With regards to the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller drivers they are the ones that are provided by apple via boot camp assistant.
These appear to work correctly and downloading as per instructions simplifies the procedure.
For those that are interesred the updated drivers can be found here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22824&ProdId=346 7&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%20*&DownloadType=Drivers
I have also seen in other discussions that some users get black screens i believe that it is the lack of video drivers which is included in the download from apple using boot camp assistant.
I'm certain that this works on Mac Book Pro Late 2013 models and i feel confident that this will work with other models.
I will appreciate any feedback if this works on other models.

How can Mac Pro (late 2013) create a WiFi network for Mac Books to connect to internet?

I am moving my Mac-Pro (late 2013) to a garden office. I have an ethernet cable to connect it to the house network. I also have a Mac Book Air which will only connect to a network by WiFi. I can use this Mac-Pro to create a WiFi network and the MacBook can talk to the Mac Pro over this WiFi network. But the Mac Book does not see the local network let alone the Internet, both of which are seen on the Mac Pro.
Is there a way that I can connect the created WiFi network to one of the two Ethernet cards in the Mac Pro?
Or what?
Tim

I have half cracked it.
For some reason the first step it to turn internet sharing off.
Then internet sharing can be configured and the wireless network set up and given a password.
Then, and then only, turn internet sharing back on and turn WiFi ON. All this is on the Mac-Pro (late 2013).
Now the Mac Air sees the new network and can log on and connect to the WAN internet locations, at least via Safari.
BUT if I use Finder on the Air, it will connect to the Mac Pro but it will not display what is on its disc. Though I can do screen sharing. Odd.
Also Air-Drop has stopped working, so there is no means of transferring files between the Pro and the Air.
I am going away now for a few days and will revisit this on my return.
Thanks for your help.

Mac Pro Late 2013 Cubase 8 Problems

Hello
I'm currently running Yosemite on the late 2013 Mac Pro.
I'm having major issues with Cubase 8.
When i select my Virus TI Channel, the whole program crashes. Sometimes it just randomly crashes.
Also, vst2 plugins are really laggy, and i can't figure out the problem, vst3 is fine. happens on 32bit and 64 bit version of cubase.
I tried reinstalling everything (including a clean OSX) but didn't help.
Back on mavericks i also had the VST2 laggy problem, but i had no problems with the virus ti at all.
I can't continue any of my projects now because it's just crashing when selecting the virus ti channel. (It does in empty projects aswel)
I tried different virus ti drivers, but that doesn't help at all. I know people that are using cubase 8 on yosemite with the virus and they have no problems, so i'm pretty sure it's not because of that.
Sometimes when i'm on skype for example, it freezes. when i quit it and try to reopen it the icon just keeps jumping in the dock. This also happened with chrome and twitter a few times, maybe the problems are connected with eachother? i don't know, just giving as much information as i can, because i really want this fixed. Cubase is showing crashlogs after it crashes but i can't figure out what it means.
Today i saw something in the crashlog about my graphicscard (2x AMD FirePro D300) could this mean something?
Anyone that could help me out here please? cause i've no idea what else to do.
Oh btw, i tried studio one aswel, the VST2 Lag problem is also happening in there.
My setup -
Mac Pro Late 2013
OSX Yosemite
12 GB Ram
Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
2x AMD FirePro D300

In fact I was able to unplug the USB cable for the G-Tech HD, and then replug it in, everything reappeared fine. The USB bus was not frozen (this time).
But it's this kind of flakiness that has me coming and going. I haven't (yet) been able to identify whether the USB is the problem or the driver or a third thing I haven't figured out...

Why isn't Photoshop fully optimized for the Mac Pro (Late 2013), and when will this happen?

On the new Mac Pro (late 2013):
Currently, Photoshop CC 2014 seems to lag behind iMacs and Macbook Pros (even older ones) for some tasks.
I assume that this issue is related to either multi-core processing but seems more likely to be a problem with the ATI GPUs not being optimized as the Nvidia GPUs are.
Why is this the case, and when will this be addressed?
Any feedback from Adobe official would be appreciated.
Thanks

Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details.
We don't even know what your specific issues are, and for all we know you may be running the pathetic, buggy Yosemite OS—which Apple is giving away for free.
In this case, you have been enormously fortunate in that you received a reply from none other than Gµrµ Chris Cox, a top Adobe engineer who has been writing Photoshop code since the last millennium.

Running 4 screens as one with Mac Pro Late 2013

Hello there, got a Mac Pro late 2013 edition driving 4 60" 1080P screens in a 2x2 configuration. Trying to make those work as one 4k display. Was able to get it working to allow us to display a page across all 4 displays. But have not been able to get a video to display across all 4. Our current configuration has also been very finnicky and anytime we move the webpage around, it snaps the window to be full screen across the bottem two displays.
Anyone have any idea's as to how to make this work the way we are wanting to?

"Fullscreen" is a garbage feature ported from IOS and the iPhone, the land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing -- AVOID it at all costs.
This will work as long as you stretch a Window across multiple screens, and turn OFF all hints that you want multiple, independent screens.

Mac Pro Late 2013 USB problems / freezing

I have a quad-core CPU Mac Pro late 2013 (Model Identifier: MacPro6,1). MacOS X 10.9.5.
I have had all sorts of USB devices hooked up to it. At any one time, I usually have all 4 ports filled. I have a 3TB USB 3.0 disk that stores my large files, a USB mouse and keyboard (logitech with a usb mini dongle), a cable to charge my logitech USB cordless mouse, Lightning cable to my iPhone 5, and other things that I rotate in and out, like CF card reader, Audio Box USB audio interface from PreSonus, Sony Webcam, etc.
About 3 months into having the Mac Pro, I noticed that my keyboard went dead in the middle of using it. The mouse was dead too. I blamed the RF dongle that they both share, because the Apple Magic Trackpad (bluetooth) I have still functioned. Try as I might, I couldn't get the keyboard or mouse to work again, so I used the Magic Trackpad to restart the machine, and then my keyboard and mouse worked again.
It wasn't until later that I realized that all the USB busses on the machine had frozen or "died" temporarily. I realized it later because my USB hard drive complained about being "ejected improperly."
Now I have had the USB die on the Mac Pro at least 15 times over the last month and a half. Usually once every two days or so.
I have tried (almost one by one) using some of the USB devices on the mac, and removing others to ascertain if it's a certain USB device that is causing this. But the odd thing is that I never get a message from the OS like "xxx USB device is drawing too much power."
I'm going a little nuts here because I cannot see any rhyme or reason to the USB interface lock ups. And each time it happens, all the USB devices go dead until I restart. Sometimes, I'm able to SSH into the machine from my iPhone and issue a "shutdown -h now" and even though I see the Mac OS X UI shutdown, it never fully halts. I often have to hold the power button to get the machine to turn off.
I really can't say if it's software related, hardware related or what. I've tried to watch my workflow carefully to see if anything seems to make a pattern, but nothing yet.
Any suggestions? Is anyone else seeing behavior like this? Do we think it's a USB device... or is my Mac Pro flakey?
Thanks!

Mac Pro (Late 2013) random improper shotdowns

My Mac Pro (Late 2013) running OS 10.10.3 has been experiencing intermittent shut downs and memory showing as less than installed. At times it shows me the full 64 GB installed, at time less, 2 slots empty, sometimes one.
Model Name: Mac Pro
Processor Name: 12-Core Intel Xeon E5
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Memory: 64 GB
My Bluetooth has been also problematic lately. Continued disconnection of both my wireless mouse and keyboard.
I have gone through diagnostics and found no issues. I did also reset System Management Controller.
Please help!
A million thanks in advance!
Adolph

I might have seen that one before here.
Is it always the same location that is not showing?
If so try interchanging that stick with another one.
If it follows the stick that indicates a problem with that stick.
If it remains with the slot that means a hardware problem with the Mac. I would look at the slot with good lighting and magnifying device to look for abnormalities,
If a hardware problem with the Mac then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Eye strain on Mac Pro late 2013

Hi guys,
I Have a problem with my Mac Pro late 2013. After few hours of work my eyes start to hurt really badly, my head hurts also. I am working on Dell U2713HM, few days ago I changed it for a pair of u2312 Dell monitors and I feel the eye strain again. When I try to work on my Asus laptop using the same monitor I don't have a problem. I tryed all the advices on the web for eye strain regarding monitor configuration but it has no effect. Also i can see the image on the monitor isn't rendering properly for example when I open an image there is always some square parts randomly missing.
Do I have a graphic card problem, monitor problem or something else.
Any experiences anybod, please help.

I agree I tried a little Google and came up with this site maybe something to look at https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/47161-mac-evernote-clip-rectangle-control- command-c-not-working/page-2 and there seems more have problems thoug not with Mac Pro MBP Retina: Poor image quality from hdmi output

Do you need cuda for playback with 4k on Macbook pro late 2013?

My question is, I have a macbook pro (late 2013) i7 ,16G ram , nvidia Gforce 750m with 2GB ddr5, mavericks osx 10.9.1.
Does this machine playback 4k with software only? or does it needs to have cuda enabled?
Because i did several tests first with RED files 4k and even with resolution on 1/4 i still have drop frames. Then i tested with Arri Alexa RAW files 2k, and premiere simply can have a decent playback no matter the resolution 1/2 lags and droped frames, 1/4 its a no go because it has a lot of pixels can't really see whats happening.
One more test was the 4k Canon IOS 1-D files. These files again look like the arri ones, i dont have a playback no matter the resolution!! These files i cant even playback them on VLC they lag all over the place.
I runned the files on the internal SSD 700MB Read write, and then on a lacie us3, same problem. On premiere with software only and with cuda, same thing.
(i already posted on a diferent discussion, im having droped frames with cuda enable on simple H264 files, so maybe for 4k is possible, but only when cuda option fully works)
So its there a problem with my computer, or you guys think its adobe premiere CC ?
Thanks

CUDA doesn't help at all with playback. It only helps with effects, scaling, blending modes and such.
For that kind of media, you really should be looking at a proper workstation with five internal drives:
System
Projects
Cache/Scratch
Media
Exports
And you might want to consider making that Media drive a RAID 3, which means a minimum of seven internal drives.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.
