Mac Pro (Late 2013) LAG & Extremely Slow

Hi All
i just bought the new Mac Pro Quad Core 256GB,12 GB ram the standard one with Yosemite, and i noticed that the Mac is extremely slow, when boot up, when using lightroom5 and  when i tried to switch the WiFi off and on, the Mac hang and refuse to change the status from off to on,i restart but the monitor just lighting up but in a black, so i pressed on the ON bottom until Shut down and start it up again.
now whats the problem!!!
how to fix this issue!!
regards...

i have this problem since the unboxing, the problem that i live in kuwait and i was in USA so i bought this mac on the way back home, so when i first set it up i faced this slow and lag i thought if i recover the original system it might help!!
and i noticed something else that the OS was the old one not Yosemite!!

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) OSX abnormally slow

    Hi,
    I'm not sure why but my OSX is running much slower then before, weird thing is I don't even install many softwares in it. Below is the description of the issues I'm facing.
    Beach ball frenzy, lots of things ended up with beach balls from switching back and forth between apps (safari and cad). Within app itself, safari freezes occasionally and then whatever I click during that time period (like opening a new tab, links in the page) will suddenly open and this goes on with other apps as well, even finder takes a few seconds to show the content.
    Start up time : 14.2 sec
    Waiting for shut down menu to appear : 15 secs
    Click shut down: forever (monitor goes to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity, but computer is not turned off)
    Previously, whenever software update requires restart, os will just hang and give a grey screen error, this will cause my computer to be in a boot loop where turning off will show the same error as well. Only way I find out is to open in safe boot, apply update and all goes to normal but it seems the problem is not solved cause now my OS just doesn't work properly. 
    Oddly enough, I got no problem installing Yosemite.
    I don't think it's hardware problem cause right now my windows 8 partition is running much faster then OSX. Oh the irony

  • 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

    That's what it suggests to you, in the limited scope of your vision and knowledge, and without your having provided detailed specs about your hardware.
    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.
    It's hight time you drop the attitude and avoid further embarrassing yourself in a public forum.  Just my two cents.

  • New Mac Pro (Late 2013) and Motion

    Although Final Cut Pro is optimized for the new Mac Pro (Late 2013), the current Motion 5.1 apparently is not.  Even when turning the render settings down, the playback of a complex motion sequence within Motion was extremely choppy.  When exporting to a ProRes file, only four to six of the available 12 threads ony my 6-core system were being only partially utilized.   I have 64 GB RAM and dual D700s with nothing else running, so system resources are plentiful.  Any suggestions out there?  Hopefully there will be an update to bring it up to speed.

    The sequence I am rendering in Motion is definately complicated, with about 100 differencet images on a moving wall with reflections and multiple other effects.  This definitely pushes the system alot but I was able to use the same sequence on a very old Mac Pro (2006) and a i7 Hackintosh with an Apple 5870 card overclocked to 4 GHz without this severe stuttering on playback within Motion.  There is no shortage of memory on the new Mac Pro with 64 GB RAM and D700s with 6 GB VRAM, running all files on the main internal SSD.  Very strange.

  • 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
    Cubase 8
    Virus TI Snow
    MOTU 828 MK3 Hybrid
    Greets!

    I was using a hub, so I immediately removed that upon the first issues.  But the USB has still frozen after the removal of the hub. The HD is a self powered G-Tech drive.  I'll have to play around a bit more will all of your suggestions this weekend.
    I woke up the computer just now to check the discussion, an am greeted with a notification from Mavericks that the "Disk Not Ejected Properly. (Eject disk before disconnecting or turning it off)"  which the disk is still connected, and the usb seems to still work fine.  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...

    Which older programs do you need to run?

    Ty, but is there a way to have snow leopard on a partition or something similar?
    because I think that virtual machines will slow down to much the Mac
    Depending on which programs you seek to use, I think you will discover that these "older programs" running in emulation on your Ivy Bridge Mac Pro will run faster than they did on a G4 or G5 Mac back in 2006.

  • Strange Mac Pro (late 2013) Wake Up Problem

    I used chrome browser on my Mac Pro last night and watched some YouTube videos. I stopped the video and put the computer in sleep mode without closing the chrome browser. Today, I tried to wake up the computer and something strange happened.
    The Mac Pro appeared to be on because the YouTube video started to play. However, the sound only came out of its internal speaker and the two monitors were not awake. I could not login at all and had to do a hard shut down by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
    Has anyone had the similar problem also? I contacted Apple Care and they asked me to do the usual SMC and PRAM resets, as well as booting into safe mode and then in normal mode.
    This is the replacement Mac Pro already. The first one had boot problems when two monitors were connected. I took it to an Apple Store and a specialist examined it. He then talked to his team lead and both of them suggested I should return the Mac Pro ASAP. I saw some other user on this Forum had the same problem as well.

    I just wanted to weigh in with my personal experience with Apple over the past 30-odd years. We are a small business and cannot afford a lot of tech support. However, like most businesses these days, you cannot survive for long without technology. We have had PCs and Macs over the years and have become 99.9% Mac run. I do not have issues with reliability with our Macs, which have performed in most cases flawlessly over the course of the last 10 years (prior experience was more problematic - in days prior to OS X and Intel). I have had many many PC issues even with a smaller subset of units. But I do not feel that my experience one way or the other is not demonstrative of either platform on a broad scale. My experience, like yours, is anecdotal at best. I am not doubting your experience with your Macs. I am doubtful that everyone experiences this. 
    So over all, my experience with our current crop  of 30 Macs from laptops to xserves is that they are extremely reliable, with very few, if any, crashes. Which is not to say we don't experience problems from time to time: hard drives fail, power supplies give out, RAM fails, and a myriad of other user-sourced issues all have happened. But the overall experience is that I can get 6-7 years of heavy use from our Macs, and 3-4 from our PCs. Each have their issues. But all technologies fail ultimately. I expect that. I find it equally hard to believe you did not have any issues with 12 years of PCs. But once again, my own experience is anecdotal and not conclusive. Which is why I try to refrain from painting either platform with a broad brush. I am grateful we have choices and that each of us can find what works for us.
    I hope your experience improves and wish you luck in solving your current issues. BTW, I have found Apple Tech Support to be extremely helpful when we do have problems and I avail myself of their expertise freely. I am fortunate to live close to a thriving Apple Store with some really dedicated staff. One last thought, we just purchased a new Mac Pro (late 2013) model as well. It is a dream machine for us: powerful, fast, quiet and easy to configure. We are very happy with it!

  • Mac Pro (late 2013) Philips 288p 4K Monitor Issues

    I have just bought a philips 4k monitor 288p for my Mac pro and I have quite a few issues, does anyone know of a firmware upgrade to the graphics card that will solve these ?
    Issues-
    Crashes on boot up when connect to monitor
    Using monitor is slow i.e. mouse seems to jump a bit, text takes longer to type etc.
    When in 'about this mac' it shows the monitor is running at 7350 x 4500 which is mental
    I have connected via Display port to mini display port and mini display port to dual link Dvi adaptor, both have the same issues.
    Any fixes would be most welcome.
    Thanks

    It sounds like the monitor is not correctly identifying itself to the Mac. Try Page 15 of:

  • Premiere Pro CC crashing on brand new Mac Pro (late 2013)

    Such a big disappointment, yesterday our brand new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with OS X version 10.10.2 was installed and Premiere Pro CC is constantly crashing. One of the problems is that when I open a brand new project and before I add any content to a new sequence I just want to position the video track higher so I can see more audio tracks, the program crashed. I did it several times (new projects, new sequences) every time the same crashing program.
    Deinstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it again, but no luck.
    Tomorrow I created a whole new account with administrator rights on the Mac, the issue as described above was gone but at some point in time the program crashed again, and when I reopen the project, with two sequences open (one with footage and one empty) and I want to close the empty one, Premiere is crashing again. So I can't continue my work on this project and need to start over again....
    This is the error report that I'm getting....
    I hope somebody can help me on this because it's very frustrating...
    Thanks in advance

  • Can iMac 27 late 2009 enter TDM connected to a Mac Pro late 2013?

    I'm trying to get an iMac 27 late 2009 to enter target display mode when connected to a Mac Pro late 2013.
    I tried with Apple's Thunderbolt cable and pressing Command + F2 on the iMac did nothing.
    So I bought a Mini DisplayPort cable, and now Command + F2 makes the iMac's screen turn black for a second and then back.
    After rebooting, before logging in, if I press Command + F2 it actually works for about 2 seconds and then back to the iMac's screen. After this, if I keep trying it just flashes black.
    So, my question is, has anyone managed to connect this two devices?
    Should I buy another cable? Format the iMac? Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on both machines.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know what more I can add to the initial post.
    The second Mini DisplayPort cable that I tried is Belkin, I don't think there are better cables for this, since Apple is not selling it anymore.
    I did mentioned that if I restart the iMac, before logging in with any user, pressing command + F2 or simply connecting the cable will actually work, it shows up as a second display on the Mac Pro, I can move the mouse pointer on the iMac. But after about 2 seconds the iMac exits Target Display Mode, and after this pressing Command + F2 will only turn iMac's monitor black for about a second and not entering TDM anymore.
    I even checked the firmware versions and both are up to date according to this.

  • USB Card Reader not recognized on new Mac Pro (late 2013)

    My Sony USB multi-card reader (model: MRW62E), which I use for SD cards mostly, works on my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), my new iMac, and my old Mac Pro (2009), via the USB ports, but is unrecognized entirely on my new Mac Pro (late 2013). All machines are running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Neither the card reader, nor the cards appear at all in FCP, image capture, apple system profiler, the desktop, or disk utility. I cannot find any drivers online addressing the issue, including Sony's website.
    Perhaps an additional update for increased compatibility vis-a-vis the new Mac Pro would do the trick...

    Does the reader show up under USB in System Report?
    If the reader is working properly both the reader and an inserted card will show up.

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013), Photoshop CC stamp tools and Yosemite Problems

    Lately when I'm using the the stamp tool in Photoshop CC after a few clicks I hear a short "click click" out of the Mac Pro Late 2013 when then goes on to freeze
    my keyboard and basically makes it useless. I then have to save the photo by clicking in the menu bar, restart the computer which clears the problem. I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro and thought it could the problem but I tried it also with a normal usb mouth clicking on an image and get the same results. What is this "click click" noise because as soon as I hear that I know that the Mac Pro is going to freeze.........anyone else having any Photoshop problems?

    I've not tried exporting with Premiere but with After Effects on my identical Mac Pro also using istat menus, I rarely if ever see the 2nd GPU spin up. I'm exporting right now for example and:
    makes me wonder if this is infact an issue with Istat menus or if the 2nd gpu really isnt being utilized.

  • After Effects is NOT using the full Twelve GB of memory on my Mac Pro late 2013 dual video cards

    I would like to know if there is a reason why AE CC12 and CC13 (2014) is not using the full amount of video card memory on my MP late 2013. It's six GB per freaking card I invested in and its not accessing it.
    Is there a work around this issue?

    Why shouldn't it. When I upgraded to this new Mac Pro late 2013 with its dual video cards. Premier turned into a blasting fast editor. I no longer need to render my edited cuts and the scrubbing of preview and timeline footage is phenomenal. The only performance boost I've seen in AE with this new system is in rendering and I can't even say its double as fast in comparison to Premier or Encoder and its an 8-Core system with 32GB of ram. Everything else is flying.
    So again to answer your why should it. I rebuttal with "Why shouldn't it". The other two mentioned programs are using GPU resources to improve performance why is AE so behind the curve.
    I'm not the only one asking why. I was in the audience at a Dmala meeting here in LA with Todd Kopriva and Al Mooney previewing AE and Premier 2014.
    People kept asking Todd about performance boost in between questions about new features. Todd finally just asked what do you prefer a couple of new features or performance boost. Everyone wanted performance boost over new features. If you think I'm making this up go ask Todd Kopriva.
