Mac Pro audio not working!

adudio output not working...

Hmm, does audio play outside of logic when your audio device is set to the built-in output and not the Line?
Logic hooks into CoreAudio completely differently to any other audio program, it doesnt really interface with your sound drivers, it IS your sound drivers seeing as the core of Logic is also what Macs use to mix audio from other sources. When you say your volume control up in the top corner doesnt make a difference, the usual reason is that the device assigned to output audio from your Mac in general is not the same device that Logic is sending audio to.
This makes me wonder what your Audio settings look like in Logic right now, compared to on your AM settings. If you could post a screenshot that would be really helpful.

The Volume on my Mac pro is not working. I can't raise or lower the volume and sometimes it mutes by itself. additionally, the speaker button on the top right is garbed out.

Newest Mac Pro does NOT work with CC14 - Will Adobe address this or not?

I have a Mac Pro late 2013 - the "trash can" - and when I tried installing Premiere CC14, it crashed multiple times before even completing the program's initial bootup. I had to install CS6 just to get operable, though this does not help me open the CC14 projects I have inherited. I have a colleague who uses a $1.5K laptop, and it works logarithmically faster and better with CC14 than my $4K new Mac Pro. I have all the Adobe permissions set to "Read/Write" and it shows absolutely no speed improvements over a much less expensive iMac. The CUDA feature is worthless unless Adobe develops a way for it to take advantage of the hardware configuration of the Mac Pro... And I'm having a hard time finding anything resembling an official statement suggesting this is anywhere close to a reality. I have many After Effects plug ins, and while yes: They are 3rd party plug ins, these are not just electives - They are part of my arsenal that my loyal clients have come to expect.
For 15 years I have used After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, all 15 of them on a Mac. In all that time I have NEVER experienced this kind of vagueness, finger pointing, and dodgy avoidance. There seems to be an allergy to making an announcement that anything resembling a coordinated effort is going to happen.
Why would I buy "the fastest" Mac if Adobe didn't work with it? MAC STORE staff didn't seem to think this was going to be an issue... Yet I can't find any official date as to when CC14 is projected to work with AMD architecture.
I'm feeling a lot like I did when Mac juked us with FCP-7 to FCP-X "upgrade.' Et tu, Adobe?

(PS - Yes I had Adobe Creative Cloud assistance help me troubleshoot)

No offense meant, but did you come here to ask for help, or are you just complaining? Because it seems an awful lot like the latter...

So does CC2014 work on your Mac Pro or not? The laptop doesn't "work logarithmically faster..." than your Mac Pro if the software isn't working to begin with. Hyperbole, much?
The CUDA feature is worthless unless Adobe develops a way for it to take advantage of the hardware configuration of the Mac Pro...
CUDA isn't available on the new Mac Pro. OpenCL is. If you have the CUDA preference panel installed due to another piece of software putting it there, you're better served by deleting it. It's not going to help you at all on the new Mac. It may, in fact, cause problems.
Pr CC2014 works fine with OpenCL on the new Mac. Ae doesn't, but Adobe has never said Ae does or would. Anything you do in Ae is going to be CPU-bound. If Pr is crashing, then it likely means you have something else on your system that's mucking things up. Did you recover your user directory with something like Time Machine when you installed your new Mac? Was your user directory originally on some other Mac? What happens if you create an entirely new user from scratch, without restoring the home directory, and then try to kick Pr into gear? Does it run?
Provide some details and perhaps someone can help.

Getting Asus ATI 4870 to work in my Mac Pro. Not working. please help!

I read here on these boards that an ATI 4870 would work in an early model (in my case, 2006) Intel Mac Pro.
I jumped in hastily and bought the Asus branded card: EAH4870
I connected it, and nothing... did not work.
I do not think it is a Mac version of this card, perhaps intended to be used in a windows machine.
Questions:
- Do I need to "flash: this card to make it work in my Mac Pro OSX 10.6.3?
- Are there Mac drivers for this card? I can't find anything anywhere
- Basically, can I get this card to work, or do I need to PAY the extra $$$$ just to have a "Mac" version of this.
Keep in mind, I am not a techie, I need to do Work, not fiddle with this kind of stuff.. unfortunately, a software package crucial for a job is very finicky and works with only a handful of cards.. The 4870 is one of them.
I do not have dual boot, and no windows machines to "flash" or rework this card.
If you can help me to get this card to work, it would be MOST appreciated!!!

It is not a Mac version. It does not have the required EFI boot ROM needed to work on the Mac. Video drivers are contained in OS X. Either you have to have the card flashed (this is illegal) or buy a Mac version of the card.
If you aren't a "techie" then you don't have the hardware needed to flash the ROM nor know how. Because this site belongs to Apple we cannot help you with something that is illegal.

Why is my Mac Pro G5 not working

So I have my mac pro and I was using it, then I Shut it down for a while, next time I try to use it a red light comes on inside and the power light flashes twice about every five seconds. I have tried re-seating the ram and pushing the reset switch and still nothing happened. I even went out and bought some new ram so I took the old ram out and put the new ram in, still no change. If there are any suggestions please tell me but I do not need to know how to take my hard drive out or anything, I already know how to do that. It is also very loud and it doesn't make any chime or even a beep and I made sure that the speaker is plugged in. It is model a471 if that is any help.

Put the old RAM back in.
Make sure to install the RAM in size pairs, one of each in each inside slot working out.
As describbed here:
Power Mac G5: Memory Specifications and Requirements
After reinstalling the old RAM, first check that it still doesn't start.
if not, use a hair dryer to heat the logic board in the area between the RAM slots. Make the logic board HOT (about 1 minute of hair dryer on high) and then try starting the machine.
If the machine starts, you have just confirmed that the solder in the logic board is degrading. The solder connections of the memory controller and of the RAM slots are common failure points.
Reflow of the solder or board replacement is necessary for long term use.

Mac Pro FireWire not working at all

Hey guys,
I'm pretty desperate right now. My brand new Mac Pro (two days old) has suddenly stopped noticing firewire devices. I tried to troubleshoot everything and nothing was working so I just finished erasing and reinstalling OS X on the main hard drive. That didn't help. If I go into the System Profiler, and click on firewire, it takes a few seconds, and shows absolutely nothing, even though about 4 devices are plugged in (FW400, FW800) Even though they are on, even disk utility does not show them. They are basically invisible and unaccessable. Please, anyone who knows what I can do, let me know. I reset the SMC, I reset the PRAM, I've tried all I could think of, and now I am on a ten minute old install of OS X. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried running the hardware test? Put in your main system DVD, restart and hold down "D" until you get the icon. Let it run some tests to see if anything comes up bad.
It's rare, but it's not impossible you have a bum controller in there. I hope you get it running. That thing is FAST!
Good luck.

Mac Pro (SCREEN NOT WORKING)

Hi,
When i start mine mac pro, i hear the boooing sound, the fans are working too.
But only there is nothing appearing on the screen, SOMTIMES THE SCREEN WORKS AND SOMETIMES NOT ... i'm using a VGA>DVI connector for it mine model is :
Mac Pro (2008)
2.8GHz Xeon (Quad-core)
2GB PC2-6400 DIMM
32GB
Mac OS X 10.5.8
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
320GB 7200RPM SATA 3.5"
Model number: A1186
Anybody?
thanks in advance !!

The Analog VGA signal is generated by the graphics card, directly into the pins at the end of the DVI-I port on the computer. All the adapter does is shuffle the signals to get them onto the correct pins on the DB-15 (three-row) connector.
So as long as all the connections are good and no pins are bent, the display card itself (or possibly the display) is the most likely failure.
The Apple-firmware 5770 is a good replacement card for ALL models of Mac Pro. Accelerated operation requires 10.6.5 or later, so you would need to upgrade your Mac OS X version.
The other question is, how attached are you to that old VGA monitor? Are you sure it is still working correctly? How about a new digital display with better picture quality and higher resolution??

Bought new mac pro, does not work with sims 3.

I bought a mac pro 13" today with 2,4 Ghrz, 4 GB RAM. I bought sims 3 pets and installed it. But I can't play it properly. All the settings are on low, and there are no details. When I set it on high my sims flashes, and the game goes slowly. What can be the problem??

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/407986.page this is where you should be asking this question. seems like they need to fix some bugs with Lion.

Macbook Pro Audio not working

Hi there!
The audio of my Macbook Pro stopped working suddenly (actually after i removed my headsets).
I'have tried different solutions including:
plugging and unplugging the jack
rebooting
resetting PRAM
installing updates
verifying disk permissions through disk utility
Any idea about what to do next?
Thank you in advice!
P.S:
This is what appears when I try to turn the volume up or down from the keyboard:
And this is the screen of System Preferences -> Sound:

Then you will have to stick the earphone jack in and out a few times to see if you can trip it. If no success, try a cocktail stirrer or the like and jiggle it inside. If still no success, the Apple store genius bar should be able to solve the problem.

FireWire 800 ports on 12-Core Mac Pro are not working

Just got this machine, suddenly the firewire 800 ports don't work.
Says: FireWire Bus:
Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.

If it says that with no devices plugged in, it needs to go back to the store for a visit or exchange.
If it only says that with your devices plugged in, I would be more suspicious of the devices than the Mac. But it could be either, so you need some other known-good stuff to make progress.
