Mac Pro (late 2013) New ssd not seen in disk utility

Hi Guys :-)
I have a quirky problem.
I've run out of harddrive space, so I bought a new 1 TB SSD via Ebay, which is an original SSD from Samsung.
A month ago I bought another SSD, which didn't show up, so I sent it back thinking it was a faulty drive.
Today I received a new drive and it doesn't show up in Disk Utility either
But I'm pretty sure there must be something wrong with my system. When I boot up, I use a Yosemite installer via USB.
Hope you guys can help me, it's really frustrating.
Cheers
Andy

It is the way Apple board treats the text and the link is the 2nd line. I would have had to use Advanced Editor which is needed to clean it up, is not a default option, and the problem only happens on Apple Discussions.
Thought maybe you were aware of the thread already, many are, and then tried to find WHERE in the thread there are
Photos of modules along with part numbers and other vital information, and was asking you to post back with just who and what part number they sent. There are not a lot of people selling 1TB Apple units.
You can always search thread for a particular
ie, MZ-KPV1T0R/0A2 - 655-1860B

I wanted to bring the discussion forward one data point or two: seller and device ID.
Your issue is with a used part, installing and mounting, and whether you have an external case like the one OWC sells to hold an M.2 size SSD.
Put it or your old Apple device in here:

Inputting to mac pro late 2013 - new connections needed?

Pretty happy with the zippy new Mac Pro, but looks like I need to buy some new stuff for it.
Since the only way to input audio on the base machine is to go through the single (mono) audio input in the headphone jack, I'm trying to work out the most affordable way to input stereo via another method. Going to try a USB I/O device, but I'm hoping the old, old USB CODEC trick still works. Don't really want to buy a three-hundred dollar device to do what my old Griffin iMic used to do.
Next, SD cards from my DSLR. I thought that a simple card reader, plugged into any USB port would do the trick, but no dice. The card is simply not showing up on the desktop, nor as an option in Image Capture or Adobe Lightroom. Am using a very fast SD card (SanDisk Estreme 32 GB 45 MB/s) plugged directly into the Mac Pro, and it's just not showing up. Disk Utility cannot even see it... a mystery.
Could it be that the Canon 6D formats the card as an MS/DOS FAT32? My very old (2007) Mac Pro sees the card just fine.
Maybe I am just doing something wrong.

Great, smart question, llaass.
Looks like my old reliable card read reader simply chose this week to burn out. I plugged the card into an ancient cheap plastic reader my son got at a Chuck E. Cheese's and the card showed right up! Question B answered. It's just going to take three hours to transfer 6 gigs of photos. Have ordered a "USB 3.0 Reader" for twelve bucks and will try the same process this weekend to compare speeds. Cannot imagine the read speed will differ that much, but I'll post a result when I've done that.
Audio-wise, I am looking to do stereo line in from tape. That m-audio product, the Transit USB, (which even has an optical input) was looking good to me, but it's been discontinued. I now officially curse myself for throwing away a perfectly good twenty-dollar griffin adapter. Next time my wife accuses me of never throwing any old tech away, I will hold this experience up as justification for my boxes of cables and connectors.
I've ordered a Behringer UCA222 off of Amazon and will try that out when it arrives. Will follow up with the (hopefully) happy result this weekend.

My Mac Pro (Late 2013) with an Apple SSD as the only storage will not restart

I have a Mac Pro (Late 2013) with an APPLE SSD SM0256F as the only storage. When I restart all I get is the spinning bars. I have to manually hold the power button down to force shutdown. I have let it try to restart for as long as 30 minutes. It will start just fine from a shutdown. I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1510). I have used Disk Utility with no errors. The only time I need to restart is after a system upgrade. I have tried, as others have suggested, selecting the drive from the Startup Drive preferences with no difference. Any help is much appreciated!

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.

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.

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.

How Will iMovie Run on New Mac Pro (late 2013)?

Is iMovie v10 ever likely to be upgraded to support the multiple-cores in the new Mac Pro (late 2013) the way Final Cut Pro X does? If not, will a fast iMac run iMovie about as well as the new Mac Pro (late 2013)?

No one here knows what Apples plans are for iMovie?
I think it's fair to say everything will run faster on the new MacPro but I don't think it's a reason by itself to upgrade hardware.
iMovie 10.0.9 runs just fine on my 2010 iMac.

New Mac Pro (late 2013) disk permissions

I am getting a substantial number of permission repairs - like hundreds - when I run Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility on my new Mac Pro (late 2013).
Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Although it’s immensely popular, repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have a specific indication of a permission error involving system files, which is rare, or a boot failure. It is not a universal rite of healing for computers. It has traditionally spewed bogus warning messages that mean absolutely nothing.
The built-in help for Disk Utility reads in part:
If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
It’s justifiable, though rarely necessary, to repair permissions after running a third-party software installer, as defective installers have been known to damage the permissions of system files.

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

Help! Multiple Displays not Working. (Mac Pro late 2013).

Hardware:
Late 2013 Mac Pro
Processor: 3.7 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory: 12 GB 1867 MHz DDR ECC
Graphics: AMD FirePro D300 2048 M8
Software: OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Displays:
4 LG Electronics S-Class 25UM64-S 25-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor's
Display Connection:
6 Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (4K)
Issue:
First of all, thank you in advance for taking the time to help!
I just picked up this Mac Pro (as stated above) and I am having quite the time trying to get the monitors to display properly (or at all!)!
Everything is hooked up properly (i'd like to think so), i've run through most of the trouble shooting methods I can think of and have found online... and still, 2 of the 4 displays do not show! The Mac Pro is not recognizing two of them.
I was told that the MacPro could recognize up to 6 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI monitors, however, only 2 are working properly. Is it because of the Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters? Should I be running MDP to DP cables instead? The monitors support DisplayPort input's, however, they also allow for PIP hence the use of 6 MDP adapters to HDMI. (2 of the monitors are using the built in picture in picture split screen. So 2 HDMI inputs each).
Really pulling my hair on this one.. I figured it would be plug and play.. at least, that's how apple USED to be.
Any ideas?! Am I simply needing to use the MDP to DP cables instead of MDP to HDMI? Please help!
Thank you!

See:
Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support
Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adaptersuch as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
Thus, use a display port to mini display port cable

ATI catalyst drivers not working properly in Mac Pro late 2013

Hi, I have a 6-core Mac Pro late 2013 with two D500 ATI graphics cards and installed Windows 8.1 Pro through bootcamp. I have installed the bootcamp drivers while in windows installation, however there is a problem opening the Fire Pro drivers (catalyst drivers). I get a message that says something like "there is no option to change so the software will not run". I also tried to download the ATI drivers directly from their site, but still get the same problem.
This poses a problem for me since I need windows for a specific lighting design software that I work with -Dialux-, and it uses Open GL, which doesn't seem to work in my configuration. Does anyone have any similar problem or solution?
Please help. Thanks.

Does the reader show up under USB in System Report?

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) 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
