Mac Pro Keyboard changing from querty to azerty

Mac Pro Retina 2014 - QUERTY keyboard to AZERTY:
I bought an exterior azerty keyboard but cannot stop the querty one to activate the azerty. Whatever I try in the system preferences. Any help available ? Merci in advance.

Macs use "all devices active" with keyboards and mice. You can literally type every other key from alternating keyboards. There is no sensible way to turn them off.
The codes generated by the keys are not letters but key numbers. All you need is to set the correct keyboard translation to replace the default keyboard translation.

Program a mac pro keyboard?

When working from home I connect an older USB Mac Pro keyboard (one of the clear plastic ones) to my Macbook Pro 15", OSX 10.7.5. The integrated Macbook keyboard itself has that F3 "Expand" function that I frequently use to find stuff when I've got a million things open. Is there a way to program one of the function keys on the external keyboard to do the same thing?

Considering that such a program is OS-specific rather than model-specific, it might help to also ask in the forum for the OS version you have, which appears to be Tiger. Those forums are here:

Probelm With EArly 2008 8-core Mac Pro on Wake From Sleep

Well, after more than a year of being a flawless machine, I am now starting to have trouble with my 8-core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro purchased in January of 2008. A few days ago I noticed that when I woke the Mac Pro from sleep, the desktop came up momentarily, and then the screen went went black after a second or less. The power light on the front of the Mac Pro was still burning brightly, but I could not do anything but do a power button forced reboot. I did so, and the machine booted up to a blue screen, but would proceed no further. I then did a second power button forced reboot. The Mac Pro then booted up perfectly this time and all was well.
However, I have noticed since then that often when I wake the Mac Pro up from sleep, the desktop comes up and everything looks normal, but I have absolutely no ability to do anything. I can move the cursor on the screen but clicking the mouse on anything (menu items, icons, etc.) does nothing. I cannot do anything but a forced reboot to regain control of the machine.
I have booted from my drive that has the clone of the OS perfectly with no problems. I have used disk utility to check the Mac's main boot drive and all checks out fine. I have repaired permissions. I have reset the SMC, but nothing has helped. This morning when I went to wake up the Mac Pro, the desktop came up, but absolutely nothing was operative. Mouse cursor moved on the screen, but I could not get any menu item or icon to respond when I clicked on it. I did a power button reboot and the machine is working again, but every time I do one of these power button reboots Time Machine takes 15-20 minutes to prepare and do its backup. Clearly something is wrong, but short of never putting my Mac Pro to sleep again I am out of ideas as to what to do next.
For over a year I have been using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, but I don't know if this is involved in the wake from sleep problem or not. I should add that this keyboard/mouse combination has never previously given any trouble at all.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone may have.

Glad to hear you were already using SuperDuper and (use to) use Disk Warrior.
Can't be rushed. Take a look at how long it takes Micromat and SoftRAID to update their products to get a ballpark idea of time and work to have compatible versions. Or do like others, wait for "SP1" or a year, wait for Adobe and others to be ready before fully supporting.
The best time to upgrade to (Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and now Leopard) is a year out, even when the product is at its end release-point, not when it is just 1.0.
Minor but things First Aid misses, and can mean all the difference in the world. Major is bad enough that after recovering files you need, you should reformat and restore due to keys out of order, overlapped extents, corrupt journal (there is a tip about turning journaling off and back on to fix some problems).
I would wait for Disk Warrior (4.1.1) before upgrading to Leopard, rather than the other way around.
Alsoft can't work on an update until they have in their hands a stable and released version. And Disk Utility does and has changed during the last 18 months.
Apple is in the habit and you will find that developers are left in the dark during the last stage. Then 10.5.0 had too many bugs and problems. 10.5.2 was stable-ish, and changed the "rules of the game." 10.5.6 has had a few wrinkles of its own.
Apple warns to NOT use older versions of its own Leopard Disk Utility with the latest (10.5.6) when it comes to repairing permissions (see MacFixit).

Mac Pro not booting from CD's using 'C'

All of a sudden I am unable to boot from a CD. Every disk that I try will not boot. The CD drive will try to read for 5 minutes, then crash with that different language please restart your computer crash screen. I've tried DISKWARRIOR and MacOS X Leopard. They will not boot. I've cleaned the disks and reset the PRAM, but still won't work. All external connections are unplugged.
3 months ago, it was working perfectly, I even did a clean install of Leopard. The only thing that was changed in my system, was an upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 88GT, but why would using a different video card force a crash during a CD boot?
Otherwise, my MacPro is working perfectly and the disk has no errors. I can read, write, install apps and run movies on the CD ROM drives. but cannot boot

Recently, I bought diskwarrior but it doesn't boot. I tried the Leopard install to test it out. That doesn't work, then I called Alsof and they said it should boot on my current system.
DiskWarrior will not boot on a Mac Pro (Early 2008).
"All Mac models meeting the system requirements for DiskWarrior *except the new Mac Pro and Xserve models introduced on 01/08/2008, the MacBook Air introduced on 01/15/2008, the MacBook/MacBook Pro models introduced on 02/26/2008 and the iMac models introduced on 04/28/2008* can be started from the CD."
<http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html>
If you want to use DiskWarrior, you need to put it on another drive or partition containing OSX 10.5.4
Therefore, all of sudden nothing boots. Like I said, the only change I did was to replace the video card.
That's why the Leopard DVD won't boot. The Leopard DVD that came with the computer doesn't have drivers for the new graphics card. If you still have the old card, install it, install Leopard, update to 10.5.4, then put in the new graphics card.

Early 2008 Mac Pro wakes up from sleep with Mavericks.

Ever since I upgraded to OSX Mavericks on Tuesday, my early 2008 Mac Pro keeps waking up from sleep mode every couple hours. It goes back to sleep again on its own though after a minute, so I'm thinking it's some kind of new automated feature that I'm not aware of. With the Mac Pro being fairly loud when it wakes up from sleep mode, it woke me up three times last night! Is there some kind of option in the system preferences that I'm not aware of that can deactivate this new behavior? I usually only shut down my computer once a week, and keep it in sleep mode when I'm not using it most of the time, but I'm going to have to start shutting it down every night now to keep it from waking me up throughout the night...

Hello MARl0,
You may want to disable the Power Nap functionality, if available, in System Preferences -> Energy Saver.

Mac Pro PSU - moving from USA to AUS

Hi - I have two mac pros (and cinema displays) and I am looking to see if I can change out the PSU (power supplies) from the US 110 to the AUS 220(?) standard - replacing the parts instead of worrying about converters and fried electronics?
Is there a reasonable way to handle this ?
Thanks,
Ric

It looks like all you need is new power cords.

Mac Pro wakes up from sleep, 'wake reason UHC6' / remote wakeup from some d

Out of nowhere, my new Mac Pro started suddenly waking up from sleep. It was fine initially, but started a few days ago seemingly without reason.
The console log states:
4/15/09 8:40:17 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x5a has remote wakeup from some device
4/16/09 12:31:15 AM kernel Wake reason = UHC6
4/16/09 12:31:15 AM kernel System Wake
When checking system, and USB, I find:

PCI Revision ID: 0x0000
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086

Now, from what I can see, the wake event comes from the Bluetooth - but I only have one BT device paired (they Apple wireless keyboard), and I have 'allows BT devices to wake up' DISABLED.
Does anyone have any suggestions or idea what could be causing the wake-ups? This seems to be happening every few hours, but at no specific times...
Thanks,
Dan

Depends.
As you can see, the wake event seems to specifically point to the ONE USB bus that the BT is on - but nothing else. All other USB busses have a different hex address....
Having said that, I have - on the other bus - an RF logitech mouse (I disconnected that - no difference. And, when waking it says 'wake even on the xxx' bus - not the one that 'seems' to wake the system).
Then, a UPS, and finally an Apple 30inch CinemaDisplay.
The strange this is that is was fine the first 2 weeks I had the system. Then, one weekend being gone, I turned it off (but that wasn't the first time) and then on. Since then, the wake-up issue on that 'remote device causing event' happened - though of course I can't be sure they are really connected....
Do you think another device could cause the wake-up - even though the console would wound to BT?
For the record, I have no BT issues (adapter turning of or otherwise) that I am aware of.
Thanks for the help / suggestions!

Yosemite update to Mac pro keyboard and mouse not working anymore

Updated to Yosemite on my Mac pro, worked perfect for about 2 weeks then my keyboard and mouse stopped responding, both keyboard and mouse were replaced and still won't work. The computer turns on but won't respond to the USB mouse &Keyboard. Help

I have seen 2 out of the 6 mac pro's in my office do this. I am about to go to the apple store to show them.
When the computer is doing this I have tried using every wired apple keyboard in my office and none of them work. If I try the same keyboards on a windows computer or my macbook they work fine. If I use any non apple usb keyboard they work fine. My problem is if I turn the computer off for a few hours the usb apple keyboard works again so when the computer has been off all night and I pack it up to take it to applecare it is working by the time I get into the store.
I think there is a small flaw in usb port on the mac pro or the apple keyboard that when heated up from use stops the pins from contacting completely. It might be a manufacturing defect and it might be an unintended problem caused by how apple slightly modifies their USB ports.

Mac Pro - Unwanted Waking From Sleep - A Possible Fix

I've suffered intermittent unwanted wakes on my Mac Pro for years, although there have been months in which it seemed to go away. Console consistently suggested that the problem was a USB hub (EHCI), which I traced to my Apple 24-inch HD Cinema Display. Here's a sample from the Console-
11/22/10 10:28:32 PM kernel Wake reason = EHCI
11/22/10 10:28:32 PM kernel System Wake
11/22/10 10:28:32 PM kernel The USB device HubDevice (Port 5 of Hub at 0xfd000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)
When the problem started recurring last month, my "fix" was simple: unplugging the video display's USB cable. The display's USB hub is, of course, no longer available, but I plugged a third-party hub into the USB input that the display had previously been using, plugged in all the peripherals that I'd previously used the display's hub for, and so far no unwanted wakes. The only difference I've noticed is that the display's little power indicator light (bottom left corner) no longer lights up, but that's a small price to pay for being able to put my system soundly to sleep.
If the ghost returns, I'll let you know.

This a is common sleep issue. This person has it.
In my sleep tip faq, the first tip I give is this......
"USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit."

Booting Mac Pro in Windows from SAS drive - has anyone else done this?

I'm trying to boot both Windows (Vista 64bit) and Mac OS X.5 from an internal SAS drive (I don't need RAID). I've done some research and discovered that the following options won't work:
Apple RAID card: (bootable, supports SAS, but no support for Windows)
CalDigit RAID card: (bootable in Mac and Windows, but no SAS support)
HighPoint RAID/SAS card: (not bootable in Mac Pro)
At present I've installed an Atto 308H SAS controller, but can't get it to boot.
Has anyone else successfully used the Atto card (or anything else)? If so, how did you do it?
Bryce.

Further to the above: I have now managed to install and boot Vista64 from the SAS drive.
For those interested, I booted into OS X (on a SATA drive) and installed the drivers for the Atto card, then flashed the card with the latest firmware (as at 13/9/08). After rebooting, I could see the SAS drive in either Mac or Windows - although I still couldn't boot from it, or install an OS to it.
I used the Atto "MakeDisk" utility to create a Windows driver folder on a USB Flash drive.
Then I attempted to install Vista (loading drivers from USB as approprate), but it wouldn't install to the SAS drive becuase it was a "GPT Style partition".
I rebooted into WinXP and used DiskPart (from the command prompt) to change the SAS drive from a GPT to an MBR disk.
After this I could install Vista sucessfully (still had to load drivers from the USB).
I've now created a second MBR partition on the SAS drive, and tomorrow I'm going to install the BootCamp drivers in Windows and then see if I can install OS X.5 on that partion.
I'm pretty happy, as even if I have to run OS X from a SATA drive, I've got what I wanted - a quiet, good-looking and realatively cheap high-end dual-boot PhotoShop machine (I use PhotoShop on Windows).

My Mac Pro Experience (coming from PowerBook)

Hey All, I recently bought Apple's new power horse, and I thought I'd share my initial experience using it.
A little background
For the last few years I've been using a PowerBook G4 as my primary computer. I was about to buy a PowerMac when Apple made the announcement that they were going Intel, so I decided to put off a new computer purchase until they came out with the Intel-based PowerMac. When they finally came out with the machine a couple weeks ago, at first I was going to wait a month or two, giving time for any first-rev issues to surface. But turns out that's a lot easier said than done--on Saturday, after Flash froze up on me for the 3rd time that day, I ran to the Apple Store to get my Mac Pro.
Usage
I got the standard configuration and have since added a 160gb HDD for Windows from NewEgg and a another gb of memory from Crucial. Looking forward the plan is to go up to 4gb of memory, get ATI's Radeon X1900 XT when the Mac edition comes out, and grab a 500gb backup HDD.
To migrate my data over, I decided not to use the Migration Assistant as I didn't want to move any preferences or system files for apps I've uninstalled, etc.. So instead I just hooked up an ethernet cable between the computers. First I moved my apps, then my email, then my iTunes libraray, then all other files in my Desktop, Documents, Music, Photos, and Sites. I was already using .Mac syncing for my Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts and Keychains, so that part was easy-- just enabled syncing.
Coming from a PowerBook, this thing is ridiculously fast. All these little things that took several seconds to load on my PowerBook are now instantaneous (loading Dashboard widgets for the first time after boot, for example). I have not noticed a performance hit running non-universal apps under Rosetta, however before I got more memory, the system's memory usage would almost max out when I was using Photoshop, so that extra 1GB definitely makes a difference there. One thing that's exciting about this computer is knowing it's only going to get faster as more applications become universal, Mac OS X Leopard comes out and has better 64-bit support, and as I add more RAM.
It's also very quiet. The new Xeons don't run very hot, and with the aid of a heatsink that spans the entire width of the machine on top of it, the fans are barely audible. The loudest part about it is the hard drive.
Boot Camp installation was just as easy as all the articles say. Windows runs pretty well on it– it lasted a full hour before crashing! I installed a program called MacDrive (www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6) that enables Windows to access Mac-formatted hard drives. One thing that's worth a mention about MacDrive is that you have the option of making those drives read-only, so if I get some crazy worm or virus or whatever, it won't stand a chance corrupting any of my important data on the OS X drive.
But the main reason I installed Windows was for the games. While I was sleeping I had Steam download and install Half-Life 2. This morning I opened it up to check the performance. It's not bad at all–-with a 1680x1050 resolution (native 20" Cinema Display res), the recommended video settings were as follows:
- model detail: high
- texture detail: high
- shader detail: high
- water detail: reflect world (of options: basic reflection, reflect world, reflect all)
- shadow dtail: high
- color correction - disabled
- antialiasing mode: none (of options: none, 2x, 4x, 8x)
- filtering mode: trilinear (of options: bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)
- wait for vertical sync: disabled
- high dynamic range - full
The high dynamic range capability is particularly exciting to me because my gaming pc crashed every time I tried playing The Lost Coast, Valve's high dynamic range demo level. So, not bad at all.
Annoyances
Big thing here is the lack of the wireless module. Unless I want to span a cable across my room, I need wireless internet. A temporary solution to this is I have my PowerBook sharing its wireless connection with the Mac Pro over ethernet.
Not all Mac applications work on it yet, due to the x86 64-bit architecture. So far the programs I have tried to run that won't include Parallels (basically a VirtualPC for Intel Macs), Cisco VPN Client, and MySQL Administrator. The iStat Pro widget is also acting up.
On the Windows side, there are several things Apple could improve on. The biggest one here is the Eject key-- it will only open, but not close, the cd tray. If you have two optical drives installed, it will open both of them together (whereas on OS X it opens/closes the top one, and ALT+Eject opens/closes the bottom one).
With the exception of these minor inconveniences (which probably won't even be around a month from now) my experience has been completely positive. The only time I've had any sort of trouble was when I tried accessing a mounted drive that was no longer physically connected, forcing me to relaunch Finder, but this is a well-known issue that has nothing to do with the specific machine.
If you're thinking about getting a Mac Pro, my advice is to go for it.

[iIt's good to finally read something positive in these MacPro discussions.
Bear in mind that this is a technical support forum where users get help for their technical issues rather than a "feel good about your purchase" forum.
As for the Mac Pro itself, from what I've seen it's a extremely stable system and relatively problem-free system. You might want to have a look in the MacBook forums for a comparison of the number of recurring issues. Only then will you appreciate how good the Mac Pro is.
