Mac Pro 2012

I bought a new mac pro 2012-12 core w/12GB memory. I like to add 2-4GB memory sticks. In which slots should I install the 2-4GB memory sticks?
Thank you,
Richard

I bought 4-8GB memory sticks from OWC for the mac pro 2012. Installed the 8GB mem stick in slot 1,2,3,4 and the 2GB mem sticks in slot 5,6,7 and 8. booted up the mac pro and got memory slot utility message. Should install the 8GB sticks in slots 1,2,5,6 and fill the rest the 2GB sticks. Did that that and booted up the mac pro however it took over a min to boot up and thats with a SSD drive. It took about 1 min to load FCPX and it woould take forver to render. Tested the memory, tested OK . Took out the memory and reinstalled the 2GB sticks in slots 1,2,3,5,6 and 7. Rebooted the MP STRTED RIGHT UP AS DID FCPX. Sent memory back to OWC, got a refund and bought 2-4GB memory sticks from the apple store. I just want to make sure I install them in the right slots.
Thank you,
Richard

Mac Pro 2012 crashes regularly after loading Mavericks

I upgraded the OS to Mavericks, direct from Lion, on my Mac Pro 2012 computer, since when it crashes and restarts spontaneously. Herewith the reports. Can anyone offer a straightforward solution? There is no sign of Google inspired crashes, as with other users. Is Mavericks named to draw attention to its spontaneous behaviour??

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
- I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
- My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
- The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
- My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
- Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
Any ideas? If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

HT5219 did thunderbolt display worked with mac pro 2012 12 core ??

i buy mac pro 2012 12 core with thunderbolt display so how i can maake it work with us ??

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to use a Thunderbolt Display with your 2012 MacBook Pro, you can do it without any problem because your MacBook Pro has got a Thunderbolt port.
If you need help to set up the Thunderbolt Display, see its user guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/thunderbolt_display_getting_started.pdf
Instead, if you have a Mac Pro (it looks like you have a Mac Pro because you say that it has got 12 cores), you can't use the Thunderbolt Display because the Mac Pro hasn't got Thunderbolt ports. Instead, you have to use the LED Cinema Display

Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

Hi for everyone!
Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
Thanks!
With a big hope for a help!
Alexey

Hi!
Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
Personally for me - it is great news!
Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)

HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

Severe Incompatibility between Mac Pro 2012 power supply and Tripp Lite 2400 watt Line Conditioner [switching transformer].

Severe Incompatibility between Mac Pro 2012 power supply and Tripp Lite LC2400 [switching transformer].
The Mac Pro will not power on when connected to the Tripp Lite LC2400. The Power Supply makes continuous clicking noises and repeatedly resets the Mac Pro every 3 seconds.
The same Mac Pro connected to an outlet with no Tripp Lite starts up with no problem.

Hi,
I've the same notebook. I've not had any hardlocks so far, but I've not seen so much flash movies yet. Anyway, I just tried closing running youtube-video tab on Kde4 + enabled desktop effects -> Everything's fine.
Anyway, perhaps we can collect some issues and solutions in this thread. Here are problems, that I encounter:
- restart does not work
- errors during boot:

[ 9.263176] sdhci-pci 0000:0b:00.1: setting latency timer to 64
Issued solved:
- in order to make nvidia graphics working you have to disable Optimius in BIOS.
- Battery not recognized -- fixed after recend updates
- grub2 does not work. As soon as grub2 loads, the laptop reboots. -> stick to grub1 -- works now (either I did sth wrong the first time or a new version of grub2 fixes this issue)
- in order to make the touchpad work properly install psmouse-elantech from AUR
update: this is only a half-solution. vertical scrolling on the right edge works but graphical tools which rely on x11-input-synpatics still don't work. However, everything works fine with kernel 3.3. Once this in the main arch repos you won't need psmouse-elantech anymore.

Yosemite and Mac Pro 2012

Ever since I updated, last Thursday, to Yosemite (on my Mac Pro 2012), I am now listed ON MY OWN COMPUTER as "Standard," not ADMINISTRATOR, which I am and have always been! Therefore, I can't open many panes in System Preferences or change any settings in it.
I have re-installed Yosemite TWICE (after restarting and/or shutting down several times) and, after the reinstall, I get the "Log In" page and NO OTHER SET UP PAGES! I can't seem to set myself up as the administrator, in order to manage my OWN computer - a Mac Pro 12-core, 2012. I even changed my password to this computer. HELP!

Audition CC - Compatibility with Mac Pro 2012 (Quad-Core) & RME UFX

I am new here and wanting to use Audition again after being away for years, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. In previewing a training video about Audition CC it highlighted that Audition CC is now 64 bit. Before I download CC I want to be sure that the 64 bit part does not present a problem for me on my system. I do not know if my hardware is 32 or 64 bit. My question is - Will I have any compatibility issues with my hardware: Mac Pro 2012 Quad-Core & RME UFX interface and the Audition CC software? Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

It's not the hardware you want to worry about (that will be 64-bit capable, as all Macs are) but the software. If it's a recent Mac I don't think you'll have any problems at all, though - do they actually do a 32-bit release?
The best thing to do if you're worried about this is to download the trial version and see if that's okay.

Webcam for mac pro 2012

Hi All,
Is there a web cam recommended for the 2012 mac pro?

I plugged a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (few years old) into my new Mac Pro (mid 2010) with Mountain Lion and it worked right off the bat with no configuration. This was not a "Mac" HD web cam, but one I purchased for my Windows 7 PC.
The Pro 9000 puts the old iSight to shame, at least in Photo Booth.

Mac pro 2012 12 core 2,4 Ghz ou Mac pro 2013 8 cores 3,5 Ghz ?

Bonjour, j'ai besoin d'un avis exterieur !
Je suis graphiste, fais du motion design (sur After Effects donc) ainsi de la musique sur Ableton et je souhaite changer de machine.
On me propose un Mac pro de 2012 12 core 2,4 Ghz d'occase a un prix tres honnete, mais je me demande si le Mac pro 2013 8 cores 3,5 Ghz ne serait pas plus puissant et adapté a mes besoins.
Sachant que j'ai ouie dire que les mac récents ne sont pas super bien gérés par After effects...
Des avis?
Merci

Si tu n'a pas encore fait ton choix…
Le modèle 2013 est un excellente machine mais il induit quelques impératifs:
- côté stocage, oublies le firewire qui ne fonctionne qu'avec un adaptateur. Les débits s'en ressentent. Quant à l'usb3, si tu envisages de laisser tous tes disques toujours allumés, ça ira. Sinon, un disque cablé mais éteint fera que chaque démarrage sera plus long que le précédent. La faute à la structure "tout externe" de l'ordi. Il te faudra donc investir dans du thunderbolt.
- Côté disque interne, à notre époque, et pour un pro, moins de 1To ça devient vite étroit!
Je te parle en connaisance de cause, j'ai depuis mars 2014 un hexa 3,5ghz. SSD 1To. Ram 32Go.
Couplé à un LaCie 5big thunderbolt, c'est un foudre de guerre! C'est l'un des Mac les plus stables que j'ai connus. Et ce qui ne gâche rien, l'ensemble est ultra-silencieux!
Quant au modèle 2012, c'est aussi une excellente machine. Comparée au 2013 4 cœurs 3,7ghz, elle sera plus rapide. Et fera jeu égal ou un peu moins que le 6 cœurs 3,5ghz. L'investissement nécessaire pourra être moins lourd mais la machine sera plus bruyante!
