    please help me ,i forgot the synchronising password for my mac pro lion backup disk

    If the backup volume is encrypted, and you forgot the password, then you'll have to erase the volume and start a new backup. There's no way to recover the password.

  • Mac Pro Lion 10.7.5 will not receive bluetooth file from Macbook Leopard 10.5.8

    Since late 2008, I have been running a 2.2GHz / 3,1 / 4GB MacBook, now at 10.5.8. A few days ago I bought a 2.66 GHz / 1,1 / 6GB Mac Pro, now at 10.7.5. I can not seem to get the Lion Mac Pro to successfully receive a 3.3mb file sent, via BLUETOOTH, from the Leopard Macbook. Sending the file, from the Leopard MacBook, usually, fails and gives the message, "There was an error connecting to the device". A few times I did get an incoming file alert on the Mac Pro and the file seemed to begin coming from the MacBook; however, the estimated time varied wildly and the file transfer eventually failed and displayed the aforementioned message. I have an android 2.3.6 phone and I was able to successfully send the same 3.3mb file to the Mac Pro in a matter of a minute, or so. I may downgrade the Mac Pro to 10.5.8, because I have important software/hardware that may not be supported on Lion, but, right now, I am trying to determine compatibility with my important Leopard software/hardware. For the time being, I want to send files to the Mac Pro via BLUETOOTH, as opposed to any other transfer method.

    I don't know the answer to your problem, but until you resolve it do not upgrade OS X.
    I would suggest you try a reinstall:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • CS4 Premiere locking up royally on little mts files on Mac Pro Lion 10.7, is CS5.5 any better

    Sorry for long title, got the boxes mixed up.
    Having trouble working with HDV mts files in CS4 Premiere on a new 12 core MAC Pro with Lion 10.7 OS
    Have used Adode CS3 and now CS6 at my office regularly. CS6 can work with about any file type.
    Found this ClipWrap program on online and have re-wrapped these mts files into .mov files. They do open and must be each rendered out and do so slowly. Scrubbing the video doesn't do well - locks it up.
    Very certain I have plenty of Computer power, is CS4 a dog? It will open CS6 projects that I bring home from work and do basic cutting on with M2T files and MPEG2 HD video.
    I also do not see near as many Transition and Effects options for Audio or Video in CS4 as I had back with the old CS3 when I use it - very puzzling.
    Would CS5.5 give me more optimal performance with this MAC? Do I need a third party card? We now run full HD on CS6 at work without using the Blackmagic card I have. Should uninstall and re-install the software? I am a video editor, just doesn't seem to perform like it should.
    I am considering looking into the Final Cut X after this. Thoughts on this subject welcome.
    Thank you.

    Anything??

  • Early 2009 mac pro, lion won't install

    Getting very frustrating... Download and go through all the steps and downloads additional files form online then says that i cannot install and the the lion file is damaged. I have downloaded twice and even went as far as formatting and re installing leopard and updates.
    Prior to this, something that could be related. I tried to install boot camp weeks ago and it would not let me saying that my boot rom has to be updated. I have looked all over the support area and have not been able to find a boot rom update.
    ANy help?

    Hi,
    I had the same problem when installing Lion on an early 2009 Mac Pro.
    It would keep going to the Lion "Restore" disk window.
    The Lion install would never complete.
    The 2009 Mac Pro has the latest firmware updates.
    Used a clean install of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with all Apple updates
    No 3rd party software installed
    12GB Memory
    640GB Hard Drive
    No PCIe cards
    Only mouse and keyboard attached
    I finally gave up on trying to get the 2009 Mac Pro to install Lion.
    My Solution:
    I mounted the same hard disk inside a 2008 Mac Pro (without the latest firmware updates) and ran the Lion install. No problems. Lion was installed.
    Pulled the Lion drive and re-installed it in the 2009 Mac Pro.
    It works.

  • 2008 Mac Pro, Lion, and a flaky mouse?

    For some reason, shortly after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion, my 2008 Mac Pro has developed intermitent problems with my Logitech Desktop Wave mouse. The problem seems primarily associated with the left mouse button and includes problems selecting files and highlighting text, problems dragging, random double-clicks, and general weirdness.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Replaced the mouse batteries
    Updated to the latest version of the Logitech Control Center (3.5.1-23)
    Checked the system preferences for Mouse, Universal Access, and the Logitech Control Center
    Reset the PRAM
    Restarted the MacPro
    Nothing works. I even substituted my existing Logitech mouse for another one and the problem remains. This has gotten to the point where it's driving me absolutely batty. The only thing that I haven't checked is the PRAM battery inside my MacPro, which is about 4 years old, but I'm not having any problems with the date and time resetting, which is usually indicative of a failing PRAM battery. Please help me save my sanity.
    Thanks,
    Kelly

    At idle, kernel_task is running at .3-.5%, but disconnecting and reconnecting the DVI connectors didn't have any effect for me.
    Plus, I'm not really having issues with jumpiness, as the user's post describes. My mouse problem has more to do with not being able to click and drag windows on the first attempt, the inability to click and drag lines of text, random double clicks instead of single clicks, and stuff like that.
    However, if kernel_task is suppose to idle at 1-2%, that's clealry not happening.

  • Mac Pro Lion Support Radeon 6970

    Does anyone know, will it ever happen?
    I am the happy owner of a Mac Pro 3,1.  Unhappily I have started to run my MacPro primarily in bootcamp to keep up with all my architectual renderings.  The only reason I am doing this is because it is the only way to run my Radeon 6970, ie so i can 3d model in real time.  The recent posts on netkas.org about support for 7*** cards for mac pros is great and all, but i feel left behind, my 3.2 Ghz cores yearn for a GPU that can keep up, and this is 5 years later..  So does anyone know any way to get the attention of the engineers?  I just want a little support here for the how ever many thousands of loyal MacPro users who have been stuck using eBay cards or bootcamping to see any GPU performance.  I want to run the latest programs for modeling (mudbox, maya etc) without having to deal with clunky old windows 7 on my apple cinema display..
    Thoughts?

  • Mac Pro, Lion: front light flashing, fans blowing, and doesn't startup...

    This has never happened before: my Mac Pro's (Lion) front light flashing, fans blowing, and doesn't startup...
    Any workaround? Help, please...

    If there is no response to keyboard or powerbutton presses; hold power button until it shuts off. Unplug and wait 5 minutes and then plug back in and try to start again.
    Post back with results.

  • How to start a RAID 5 rebuild (Mac Pro Lion)?

    Dear community,
    does anyone know a solution for the following problem?
    Mac Pro (2011) with hardware raid and four drives (2TB) configured as raid 5 raidset (named RS1). Raid controller lost connection to the drive in bay 3 but could reconnect after a couple of minutes. Raidset RS1 then reported as degraded in Raid Utility and drive in bay 3 as "roaming". It was no longer part of the raidset. Turned Mac Pro off, removed and re-inserted drive. After the next start the drive in bay 3 shows in Raid Utility with all green status (no longer roaming). Making the drive a spare drive via Raid Utility disconnects it for ten to twenty seconds, then it shows up again. No rebuild of raidset starting. According to past discussions I found here, the rebuild should start automatically. But what can you do if it does not?  
    Raidutil output as follows:
    raidutil list raidsetinfo

    Thanks for your reply. Do you have any idea how to re-initialize the drive? It now seems to be marked as spare(?) and any operations on it are rejected:
    > sudo raidutil modify drive --removelocalspare -d 3 -r RS1
    Modifying drives...   FAILED.
    The drive is in use and is unable to be set unconfigured.
    > sudo raidutil modify drive --removeglobalspare -d 3

  • Shall i buy anti virus software for my MAC pro lion

    Do I need to install anti-virus software for my Mac pro?

    You do not need any anti-virus for a Mac.
    Do not download any software from the web to protect your Mac.
    Apple releases updates that will offer all the protection a Mac needs.
    Keep the software updated.
    Many in this community use ClamXav and recommend using it.
    Best.

  • How do I force a Mac Pro Lion RAID 5 rebuild after replacing a failed drive?

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro RAID 5 (with Apple RAID controller card and RAID 5 volume with 3 hard disks) showed degraded RAID set message due to failed drive.  After I repalced the failed drive, I was unable to add it back to the RAID set.  So I tried to removed or deleted this RAID set so that I can rebuild the RAID set from scratch.  No matter what I did, I was unable to delete the RAID set using the RAID Utility.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    I have been posting in this forum several times yet I was not getting any help nor comment on my issue from anyone (except Grant above.  Thanks and appreciate your support).
    So I have to help myself by searching various ways to resolve the issue.  I accidentally came across below findings and it solved my problem.  So I thought I will post it here just to share with whoever may run into the same problem.
    When I was trying to try to change to another harddisk, I noticed that I made a mistake in mixing up the drives when I put them back.  That is for the last two drive bays(3 & 4), for some reason I put the disks backwards.  That is drive 3 in Bay 4 and drive 4 in Bay 3.  I did not realize that on the drive mount Apple actually labelled them as 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively for Bay 1 through Bay 4.
    With the two disks installed in the wrong sequence and even though one of them is a replacement disk, Apple RAID controller card still boot up the RAID set but showing degraded RAID sets and everthing is normal except it would not allow you to make the replacement disk as a global spare.
    After I put the disks in the correct order, I was able to use RAID utility to make the repalcement disk as a spare and the system starting rebudiling the RAID set automatically (thought it took three days to complete).
    Now my system is back to normal working.  So the solution is to insure the disks are installed back to the Mac Pro in the same order (sequence including the replacement disk) when the RAID was set up.  This is such a basic matter and I don't know how I missed it.  Hopefully sharing this experience will help someone who may have similar problem.  At lease this is the first thing to check before going any further.

  • Mac Pro Lion & Default Connect To 5Ghz Airport Extreme

    Hi there
    I just got an Airport Extreme last week, setting it up to have a dedicated 5Ghz network as well as the 2.4Ghz one...
    My Mac Pro is set up to only remember the 5Ghz, to ask me to join new network and not to remember networks I join... it's also configured to require admin password to change networks... all of this is done in an effort to prevent it from joining the 2.4Ghz network, yet it still does sometimes when I reboot my Mac or the base station itself...
    In addition, despite having 'Remember Networks' de-selected, it still remembers the 2.4Ghz...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Justin

    So I should name the '5Ghz network name' as the exact name as my 2.4Ghz network?
    As a test, yes. That is also Apple's recommended default setting for the AirPort Extreme....designed to deliver the best performance for most users. Devices automatically choose the best connection quality this way.
    It actually seems that you can't do this... going under 'Wireless Options' and trying to name the 5Ghz network with the same SSID as the 2.4Ghz results in it renaming itself after the update to the default Apple specifies (i.e, 2.4Ghz name 5Ghz)...

    I thought that I wanted to separate my N devices from the rest of the network so as to achieve max speed
    "n" devices operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Not sure what you mean by "separating" them.  Some "n" 2.4 GHz devices cannot connect to 5 GHz, so you would want them to connect to "n" speeds on 2.4 GHz.
    If you find 5 GHz faster at all Mac locations, then you'll have to continue to look for a way to insure that the Mac always connects to 5 GHz. As it stands, it appears that the Mac "thinks" that 2.4 GHz may be the better connection, and it may need some convincing to think otherwise.
    That's true, but my understanding (and experience) is that if you connect any 'g' or 'b' devices to the 2.4Ghz network, any 'n' device will have its performance degraded... for instance, in my case, when connected to the 2.4Ghz, my Finder copies were around 3MB/s - on the 5Ghz, they were closer to 6MB/s
    I thought that the preferred networks order was to specify preference, regardless of network strength... I guess not, though... although, maybe something is amiss because I do have it configured to require a password when changing networks and it doesn't do that at all... even when I change them manually...

  • Mac Pro Lion, Facetime says "no Webcam connect" Why??

    Hello,
    how can I resolve this problem and use Facetime?
    Thanks

    My initial reply addressed only one possible reason for your "Why??" question.
