Mac Pro Mail Problems?

After an automatic software update on my MacPro this morning I cannot open Mail. I keep getting an error message that "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OSX. You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in : /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Mail.app. It can't be used on this version of Mac OSX. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button"
I have never had a problem before with Mail and it only happened today after the automatic update. Now I can't open the application at all.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem - and how do I resolve it?

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

My mac pro mail photo browser not opening

my mac pro mail photo browser not opening

I actually have it the other way thinking of my iDevices as windows into my mail and my MP as my main repository. I also set my devices to delete of server any mail I move from my devices inbox to minimize multiple deleting unwanted mail.
But the real issue was to be able to access all my stored mail on my MP when traveling. IMAP is a way to go, yes. But my concern, please educate me if I'm wrong, I have 6 email accounts. With POP I can drag any email from any account to the ame folder on my MP.
As I understand IMAP each account would have its own sets of folders. So where I have "Work" ot "ToDo" folder that hold all mail regardless of account, I couldn't have one folder "Work" and drag all mail to it because folders are created per account, per ISP (and I have multiple accounts from various ISPs).
So I'd have to have a Work folder for each IMAP account and have check each instead of one the way it's set using POP - ON MY MAC on my MP.
If I'm right abou this, then using a remote app like SplashTop 2 to use any device to login to my MP to read, reply, delete, store, then is a great solution since I'm actually working on my MP remotely. Only problem would be if I forgot to turn my MP on before traveling.
Am I on the right path?

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

Mac Pro Fan Problem

Hi, I have been having some problems with a Mac Pro I have been working with. At the Start-up the Fan goes to top speed and once it logs-in the fan is still pretty loud. I've checking the Temperature of all the computer parts via a Temperature Diode, and its normal and not high. After searching the internet for hours looking for posts that were for the Mac Pro and not for the MacBook Pro (which comes up in about all the searches using the words Mac Pro Fan Problem) and I found some software all of which is not for Mac Pro's. Is there any application I can run do reduce the RPM of the Fans, Reset the Fan Speeds to only turn on when it get hot, or something along those lines.

Thats odd, seeing as Apple have it listed in the Support article:
To reset the SMC on a Mac Pro:
1) From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2) Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3) Wait at least fifteen seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5) Press the power button to start up your computer.
It does exactly the same thing as the SMC_RST button, simply by removing all power from the system. I would assume the reason for this would be that the SMC settings are stored in RAM, which is erased once the power is removed from the board, hence the minimum 15 secs wait which gives time for the capacitors in the power supply and system to discharge.
So yeah, it does do the trick, or has done for me in the past a few times.

Can I drag my Mac Pro Mail folder to my MBP?

I have POP accounts on my Mac Pro (MP) which is my main computer. My MacBook Pro (MBP) I use when on the road, duh..
I want to be able to access my Apple Mail from my MP when on the road using my MBP (Mountain Lion).
I have an external mirror backup of my MP plugged into my MBP so I can access all files. But I'm trying to find a good
solution how to access my MP On My Mac Apple Mail folders.
If I drag my MP > Library > Mail folder to my MBP and replace my Mail folder on my MBP, when I launch my Mountain Lion (ML)
version of Apple Mail app on my MBP, that will now be accessing my MP Mail folder files, will my MBP Apple Mail be able
to access and read the replace Mail folder and thus I will be able to see all my MP stored On My Mac mail folders and mail?
Apple doesn't support this kind of POP stuff, but I'm exploring if I could damage my ML OS, or ML Mail application?
If the mail got lost, I still have it on my external backup and of course on my MP at my office.
I gather you can't launch Mail from an external drive while booted up off the MBP internal drive...
The other idea I'm contemplating is getting something like SplashTop which would allow my MBP to access my MP
and just launch Mail remotely.
And.. I did try option booting my MBP off the bootable external drive, but because it's got Lion on it and not ML,
the fans on my MBP didn't operate, so that's bad and I shut down immediately.
That's the saga... I can't be the only person on a MBP trying to work with and access Mail folders/files from another
computer and hoping for some creative solutions.
Thanks,
Steven

Mac Pro boot problem-Get "I have no name!" error message after possible KP

I think I'm having a kernel panic... and trying to keep from doing so myself
3GHz Mac Pro/4GB RAM, 250GB boot drive and three 400GB drives as a RAID for video captures.
I'm still in the process of getting the machine set up with software.
Demo machine from an Apple Authorized VAR that has been running in his office for several weeks. Had installed Final Cut Studio Monday, allowed Software Update to update the Apple software, including the OS.
Edited quite happily with FCP on a multiclip project... and did other things over the last several days.
Had no problems until a couple of hours ago after adding a number of fonts... which may turn out to be part of the problem... or not.
Rebooted the machine, and after what seemed like a VERRRRRRY long time of gray screen with spinning gear icon, the screen goes black with a cursor in the upper left corner.
About :30 later, text appears: "3Ghz-MacPro:/ I have no name!#" followed maybe ten seconds later by "SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en0 error17" and "SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en1 error17"
Screen clears back to cursor... then "3Ghz-MacPro:/ I have no name!#" reappears... and eventually the cycle starts again.
I would infer that en0 and en1 are the two ethernet ports.
I've popped the install disc in, booted to it (which took a while to do) and used Disk Utility to verify the disk. No problems found. Repaired it anyway.
Verified permissions, which found a couple of issues in the library with some files not essential to booting. Repaired those. Rebooted.
Same cycle as above with "no name."
Ran Apple Hardware test (the quick one) and it found no hardware problems.
Am waiting to see whether the AppleCare TechTool Deluxe will boot. Spinning gear continues as I write this (7-8 minutes??)... now wondering whether it's 10.4.x for Intel Macs as it spins.
After waiting a while... decided to go back to the install disk and see whether I can install 10.4.7 to a handy FireWire drive and boot from that...
then remove (or turn off with FontBook) all the fonts I just installed and see whether it'll boot from the internal.
More later. Am watching e-mail on another machine so feel free to offer suggestions.
Thanks
Ted.
3GHz Mac Pro-1GHz eMac-G3 400MHz Lombard Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I installed 10.4.7 onto the RAID so I could see whether it would boot OK, and to swap font folders out so that only the OS installed ones (from the RAID install) were present on the boot's original install.
Booted from the RAID just fine... and was able to do the font folder swap in the main font and user font folders.
Trying to then boot from the boot disk didn't make a difference. Same kernel panic with the text as described before.
Did an "archive and install" onto the boot disk and it came up fine on the fresh OS.
Updated QT and then the OS to 10.4.8 using Software Update (which I understand from the Apple info site is the "delta" version. Combo is also available, and it updates any 10.4.x version to 10.4.8)
Moved over some items in various library folders from the previous system to make the ProApps happy (only Motion's not working) and will get a project out the door today.
Will ultimately wipe the drive and go from scratch on the OS and Apps again.
Looking forward to half a day of intimacy with my Mac Pro and software disks this weekend.
Thanks.
Would still like to know what happened under the hood to cause the problem in the first place... so I can avoid doing anything I might have done to cause the problem... or to avoid other snafus.

Mac Pro - software problems

I wonder if there are any others out there who have had problems with Quad-Core Mac Pros and software problems?
Specifically, DxO image software will not launch, and Toast 8 gives loads of error messages and doesn't work either. DxO have been fairly helpful, Roxio are yet to answer my mail.
My Macbook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) is fine for both apps., and if I had my time again I'd have bought the same Mac Pro and saved mysel a pile of cash...

Bud, after upgrading to 10.4.10 I am having similar issues with screen lockups. Magnification on my icons quits working and freezes up and then at time screen freezes occur. Still can't figure what is wrong, I went to re-install 10.4.10 and it won't let me, **** I can't even install 10.4.9.... So some thing is wacked somewhere, I created a new user under user switching and I had similar problems as well. First time with any major issues since I been working with Macs for the last 6 years till now....

Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac pro resolution problem

I have created a partition for windows 8.1 pro on my 13' retina display mac pro via boot camp, everything is fine except the resolution, when i open the browser, i could see pixels, the words aren't very sharp, but this isn't my biggest problem, when i open the Solidworks software i'm working on, the icons are too small, or the texts are too big for their boxes. what is happening here? anyone knows what is all about, or how to fix this? changing the resolution of the display didn't solve the problem.

This is how the words look like in the browser page, you could see pixels. The maximum resolution for this machine is 2560*1600

Mac Pro Boot Problems. Kona 3?

I'm having booting problems with a Mac Pro. It's got a kona 3 card in one of the PCI slots, and we've been tinkering with it to try to get the audio to work right. However, I've been having huge problems whenever I try to restart the computer. After hitting the power button, or telling it to restart the screen goes to black and sometimes I hear a chime. However, the computer does not boot any further. Then, after holding the power button down and restarting the computer, I can sometimes get the computer to boot normally.
I suspect the Kona card is causing some of the problems. I have multiple hard drives on the system, and I have the ability to boot onto two separate drives in 10.5.8. Both drives are having the same problems.
it's a 2x2.8ghz quad-core Intel Xeon with 10gb of ram. The Kona card is in slot 2. Slot 3 has also been tried, but similar problems remained.

removed kona card. uninstalled aja programs. restart problems still persisting.

Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
Symptoms;
-Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
-Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
-Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
-Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
-The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Martin

Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)

MAC PRO USB Problem - Traced to bad Apple Keyboard Extension Cable

I found a fix to a problem synching to my itunes Library on my early 2008 MAC PRO. The Apple supplied USB extension cable for the keyboard was defective.
The symptoms were hangs in itunes and finder synching to iPods and transferring data to USB hard drives. The iPods and hard drives never lost power and no errors/log entries were made. The transfers simply stalled and would not continue. itunes and finder would hang until the drive or ipod was removed. These devices were installed directly to USB ports on the MAC PRO. No other USB devices were connected except for the aluminum keyboard and mighty mouse; the mouse was connected to the keyboard. The keyboard was connected using the USB extension cable that shipped with the MAC PRO.
Hardware diagnostics were all clear. The keyboard and mouse never had any connection problems. Only itunes syncs and hard drive copies would fail; these would occur at random times. I had an open ticket with Apple to have the logic board replaced as it was diagnosed to be a hardware/USB problem.
Removal or replacement of the extension cable on the keyboard (which was connected to a different USB port and NOT in the USB chain with the ipod and hard drives) permanently fixed the problem. I cancelled the Apple HW replacement.
I have noted several posts with others having problems with USB ports and devices. I wonder if Apple has an unknown problem with bad keyboard extension cables.

I think you may be onto something there. I'm just a few weeks into my second Mac Pro and again it's having the same USB problems which led Apple to give me a replacement machine previously. I went through several weeks of considerable testing with Apple Engineers prior to that - an Apple Care application to collect data from my machine, Apple Developer USB prober and two clean installs. The latest machine initially showed no sign of the problem then it started again - 2 iPods "can not be read or written to" part way through sync, Aperture quitting importing from USB SD card reader, USB drives dismounting etc. So I pulled out the Aluminium keyboard and, lo and behold, the iPods managed to get all the way through synching without errors. I really like the alu keyboard so it's a huge shame that it might be the cause of all my problems so far - and the Mac Pro is otherwise a beautiful computer.
But is this really a hardware problem of the internal USB cards and power management or supply?

Late 2013 Mac Pro graphics problem

I have a late 2013 Mac Pro with dual AMD FirePro D300's. Although this could be coincidence, it appears that after updating to 10.10.2, I find my graphics "freeze" after a random period of time (I updated late last week). I can unfreeze by rebooting, or by unplugging the HDMI cable and plugging it back in again. In the latter case, it takes about 30 seconds for the graphics to re-enable, and they are very sluggish after they do re-enable. I have run the standard Apple diagnostics to no avail. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any suggestions? Any help would be great! Thank you in advance.

Thanks for this response. With nothing else to go on, I guess I have to assume it is some sort of bug somewhere. In looking at the console log, what I see is causing the display to be slow after I unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back in again is what appear to be UI update disables:
2/4/15 5:33:37.955 PM WindowServer[145]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Google Chrome" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
2/4/15 5:33:37.963 PM WindowServer[145]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "Google Chrome" after 1.01 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
This does not happen prior to the GPU crash; which from the console log appears to be what hangs the system in the first place.
Note that it is not just Google Chrome that is doing this, every application I use results in the same message. Forcing the WindowServer to quit doesn't do anything (other than log me out).
I am frustrated by this. Googling these issues shows many many other people have similar problems. Being a long time and loyal Apple customer, I am very disappointed........

New Mac Pro USB Problems!

It seems the new Mac Pro cannot recognize certain devices. Such as my Access Virus Ti synthesizer- users cannot get the Mac to recognize the USB connection from the Virus. Please help. I'm losing my mind after 7 hours trying to figure it out and the only indication is that the USB ports on the new mac are possibly incompatible... Please tell me I can still use my $3000 instrument with my new $4500 mac pro which i just bought SPECIFICALLY to use with this VIrus Ti synthesizer!
Link to Virus Ti user forums showing other people with the same problemhttp://www.virus.info/forum/index.php/Thread/5522-MacPro-trashcan-and-TI-Anyone- got-it-working/?postID=28004&highlight=trash%2Bcan#post28004

From what you said it appears that the synthesizer is not compatible. That would be a problem for the synthesizer manufacturer to resolve.
