Mac Pro output to Samsung pink colors

I have a macpro 15 retina early 2013 connected to Samsung 32 inch FHD TV. Output turned pinkish after i upgraded to 10.9.3. Does anybody had related issues lately?

First check that the HDMI cable, and the adapter if you're using one, are securely inserted at both ends.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Displays ▹ Display
In the window that opens on the external display, set the Resolution to Scaled, and select the HDTV resolution that matches the display (usually either 720p or 1080i.) If necessary, adjust the Underscan slider so that the picture fills the screen. (Credit for this solution to ASC member Donlybakare.)
You may also need to select a different profile or calibrate the display in the Color tab to get the best possible color balance.
If these steps don't resolve the problem, you may have a damaged or defective cable.

Will this Samsung SSD be as fast as apples default Flashdrive if mounted in 2013 mac pro.

Hello,
Will replacing the default SSD of a late 2013 Mac pro with this Samsung SSD decrease performance speed?
I plan on getting this one to get more space, it will be just as fast as the default ssd, right?
SSD Samsung SSD 840 EVO Series 120GB 2.5 " TLC SATA600 - Basic
Thank you!
D.

The EVO 128GB has been tweaked to be almost as fast (pre-EVO were not and while slow/slower were still a significant boost).
Price of 250GB EVO is $139. Get that instead IF you have pre-2013. Then whether or not system or for data or scratch, and might want $99 PCIe SATA 6G controller.
SSD blades for 2013 nMP 6,1 upgrades should eventually, Samsung plans to offer retail kits, as will OWC and others.
Crucial too. And they have their newest 550M.
Pricing on 500GB EVO $279.
btw, 128GB is probably not a good idea - too small when you only have one, and that would be a downgrade from the default 256GB.

Mac Pro Resolution Problems

I have a six core mac pro using a samsung 24" monitor.
When i go from mini display to HDMI it looks awful, colours are wrong after many calibrations and photos and video looks really bad quality even though its not but the resolution is correct. I tried DVI to VGA just to see what it was like and the quality is so much better but the resolution of 1920x1080 that is the highest it will allow me leaves a massive black band of about 2 inches on the left hand side of the screen, tried to move the screen but it would only let me move about half an inch before it was as re positioned as possible,
As a fix right now i have it plugged in both VGA and HDMI mirroring the monitors (even though it is the same monitor the mac thinks there are two) so now the desktop is working fine for VGA but the second i open up a program that is full screen (shamefully World Of Warcraft) the screen resizes (even though its the same resolution as the desktop) and adds the black bar in again. Its driving me insane!
am i doing something really stupid and is there a quick fix? or is this something i cant fix
Thanks in advance for any help

The 5770 and 5870 each features one Dual Link DVI-I port and two Mini DisplayPort.
The DVI-I is Dual Link capable. DVI can be directly adapted to HDMI, and also can be directly adapted to VGA.
Single-Link DVI/HDMI is a serial interface that carries three data bits in each signaling interval, as well as control signals. In general, Single-Link supports displays up to 1920 wide. Dual Link DVI is the same except that it carries six data bits in each signaling interval, supporting displays over 1920 wide.
DVI/HDMI screen drawing is very similar to VGA screen drawing, and the data sent are digital "scan lines" left-to-right row data, top-to-bottom with entire screen data sent about every 60 Hertz. Analog VGA signals are sent at the same time on a separate set of pins.
DisplayPort and its Mini variant are inherently a packet interface, but can be coerced to produce a "Dual Mode" signal that approximates Single-Link DVI/HDMI. Getting Dual-Link DVI or VGA from DisplayPort interface requires a non-trivial converter than contains chips and requires power.
Executive Summary:
If you have one display that is wider than 1920 or VGA, attach to the DVI-I connector with an appropriate cable.
Running a Mini DisplayPort display from the Mini DisplayPort requires only a cable.
Single-Link DVI/HDMI can be had from the Mini DisplayPort with a cheap adapter.
Dual-Link DVI or VGA requires an expensive Active Powered converter which can cost US$100.

Over from PC...Need help configuringing my Mac Pro for FCP

Just made the move a few weeks to Mac. Bought a Mac Pro ( and 2 Samsung T240 monitors) and am upgrading components for use with FCP. I have been editing for about 10 years (mostly volleyball highlight films and fishing videos) in Premiere Pro. I am currently using the Sony Vx-1000 but will be purchasing either the Sony EX-1 or HVR-Z7U to shoot and edit in HD while still doing some work in SD. I do maybe two or three 40 minute videos per year and some other shorter projects. I edit mainly for friends and family....not as a business. Here are the upgrades which I will be doing:
1. Add 6 GB Ram to the already 2 GB's for a total of 8 1GB chips
2. Install a Decklink HD Extreme card
These is where I need advice:
STORAGE...
I am reading lots about external hard drives for editing. I am assuming that FCP would be on the operating system drive and the scratch disk(s) would be firewire (800) drive(s). I also read somewhere that Time Machine is not designed to back up video editing machines. I do not know if that is true with the smaller amount of work that I do. That would probably change how my storage is set up if Time Machine will not be backing up my files.
Overall I am a recreational editor and but would like a system that is current for editing in High Defintion (and I guess Standard Definition at times.)
Any advice would be much appreciated and I am really looking forward to the "Mac Experience"
Thanks
Kirk

Thanks for that Nick and Jerry.
I now think that the external hard drive posts that I was looking at were for machines that did not have the capability of adding internal hard drives.
I actually have ordered a 1TB Samsung HD103UJ SATA2 32M (as per the Barefeats tests). Hoping that it would be a suitable internal dive.
For the small amount of editing I do I am guessing that doing a raid would not be all that necessary.
And Nick, I do not think that I was looking for a bootable drive for Time Machine, just something that has a copy of my video clips from my different projects in case I have some sort of hard drive incident. I understand how running Time Machine during editing would not be a good idea, but would it be ok to use it to back up my video files if I just ran it each night after editing. I am taking it that FCP has an auto save feature also for my projects backups.
I had actually already ordered a Iomega Prestige 1 TB USB 2.0 3.5-Inch Hard Drive for the time machine drive. Should I be getting a firewire drive for that instead of USB?
This is a brave new journey.....but I am really enjoying it.
Thanks agian

Will a 2.66 mac pro accept SSD flash storage drive?

I am trying to find out if Mac Pro 2.66 OS10.6.8 will run properly using the SSD Flash storage drives that are now available?

I love just really get a lot more out of my Mac Pro now with Samsung $100 SSD than I ever did, and OWC or Amazon $15 adapters.
One easy great way to breath new life into 7 yrs old hardware.
$31 for 2x2GB FBDIMM to get more RAM is another easy and now cheap higher quality.
I feel like I bought a year and can skip "1.0" of any new OS plus new hardware until it too has had 6 months at least to iron itself out.
Don't be put off. That SSD III can and should work fine AND use it whenever you do get another Mac or decide to add a PCIe SATA SSD controller card ($150) to add SATA3 6G.

On the Mac Pro Desktop can you use a Samsung smart tv as the main and only monitor? Is there any reason one would not do that with a wireless keyboard?

I have not purchased the Mac Pro yet when I do my thought is to use our Samsung 55" Smart tv as the main monitor along with a bluetooth apple keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated

A TV set is not a Monitor.
A TV set is intended for displaying moving pictures, and not stable, static pictures, with bright, saturated colors in adjacent areas on the screen without "bleeding", fine lines one pixel wide without vibration, or smooth-edged diagonals in fine text edges.
The 55" width is beyond your ability to see the screen edges when sitting close. If you sit appropriately far away, the text will be too small to read.
The Mac requires that any display respond to a query including display_name and capabilities. Many TV sets have a problem "paying attention" to the computer port and responding when queried, so the screen may often remain dark at startup and after sleep, requiring your intervention to show a picture.

Mac Pro to Samsung HDTV - "Mode not supported"???

Alright, so I have just received my new Mac Pro in the mail yesterday and wanted to hook it up to my television - a 1080p Samsung (Samsung LN-T4671F) HDTV. I am using a DVI-to-VGA cable. I feel I should probably explain the entire situation so that it's all clear.
The first time I started the computer after plugging it into the TV, the Apple logo with the Loading, spinning thing (not the multicolored wheel) showed in beautiful 1920x1080. After loading, the screen jumped to a lower resolution for a second and then went black, finally giving me a "Mode not supported" error. Thinking it was just a little hiccup, I restarted the computer and after the Apple logo screen, it showed me a screen on how to put batteries in my mouse (or something along those lines, I didn't really look), and then it had me set up my wireless keyboard. After this, it showed me the WELCOME video and allowed me to log on to my computer and start using it.
After about 15 minutes, I was going through the system prefs and came across display. Thinking maybe I should lower the resolution to better see text, I clicked on a lower resolution around 1600xsomething. The screen went black and gave me the "Mode not supported" error again. I thought I could just wait a few seconds and if I didn't confirm the resolution, it would go back...but it never did. After trying to restart my computer a number of times and receiving the error message each time, I booted in Safe Mode, which I am in right now.
I went into the sys prefs and made sure the resolution was set to 1920x1080, which it already was, and restarted the computer. Error again. I went into the settings of my TV and went to PC and had it auto correct the resolution to the input. Error again. I have been running in Safe Boot since - no sound is annoying - and enjoying the display in full 1920x1080 (1080p)...so the set obviously supports it (and the manual says it does too).
My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. What's most annoying is that it's pretty obvious that the display supports this resolution and yet won't allow it to work outside of Safe Boot mode.
Please help

Had the same problem with an AOC 1080p TV, trying to connect to it using VGA cable.
Ivan's earlier post clued me in to solution:
- Plug in the TV, get the "Mode not supported" message on the TV
- Open the Display Preferences, you should see the display preferences for the laptop "Color LCD" monitor. Click the "Gather Displays" button - this should bring the display preferences for the TV behind the laptop preferences window. Switch to the TV's display preferences window.
- In the TV's display preferences window, switch refresh rate down to 59.9 Hertz (your TV may need different refresh rate, but on mine I only get options for 59.9 or 60).
That did it for me!

Spinning Color Wheel appears frequently on my Mac Pro

I am using an early 2009 Mac Pro with a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB 1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC memory, and a 1TB hard drive. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Recently when I am on the internet (Safari 6.1.6) I more frequently have screens freeze and the spinning color wheel display. I have owned the computer since late 2009 and have really not done anything (maintenance, etc) to it, as I don't know what I should do, if anything. After reading on this forum about the necessity for hard drive backup I have just ordered an AirPort Time Capsule and should have it later this week. I downloaded and ran EtreCheck and copied it to my clipboard. I don't know whether I should increase memory to avoid this or if there is some other problem. Can you give me some direction?
Thanks.

Clone the system to the SSD (250GB $120 EVO 850 Samsung) using CCC -
http://www.bombich.com
Might be a good time though to do a clean install and then use Setup Assistant
No maintenance?
Always have a couple bootable system drives, one for maintenance, one from last month or just prior to when you last made changes to the system.
Take a look in Activity Monitor for pageouts, disk usage, and what is running
And start TimeMachine backup routine,
Copy your data to a new 2TB drive like WD Black ~$120 also
Leave the old drive as is for now, later you can erase and try using for a backup

How to improve the picture on a Samsung TV from a mac pro?

I currently have a Samsung HDTV [ 1920x1080 ] connected via a VGA cable to my 2007/8 Mac Pro through a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card.
Can I improve the sharpness of the Samsung by connecting via the HDMI/DVI sockets on the back?
Having said that the NVIDIA doesn't have a HDMI/DVI output [ long thin USB type connector ] so presumably I would I need a converter.
Maybe a new video card?

Can I improve the sharpness of the Samsung by connecting via the HDMI/DVI sockets on the back?
VGA is purely analog, so the digital out put of your computer has to be converted to analog and then back to digital when it gets to the TV. DVI can carry both analog and digital; most likely it will use a digital connection and should be much sharper. Without the model number of your TV it's hard to say.
Having said that the NVIDIA doesn't have a HDMI/DVI output long thin USB type connector so presumably I would I need a converter.
If your TV only has an HDMI connection than yes you need a DVI to HDMI cable: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR842LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY.

DVI to Component Video Output YpBr- Mac Pro NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Card

Hello-
I am trying to use my Mac Pro as a media machine, but to do this I need to convert the DVI signal to Component video. The video switch I am using is Component only, so that is the reason why I cannot go HDMI.
What is the best solution? Do they make an adapter that will convert? Is there a graphics card issue?
On a sidenote, will the computer be able to operate with two video cards? I was thinking of having one HDMI output to my main television monitor, and having component video going to my switch for the other monitors located around the house.

What about upgrading to this video card?

It will give more graphics performance, but you don't need it for just displaying video. If you do want extra performance, get the ATI Radeon HD 4870

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
Thanks,
GEvans

If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

''No output devices found'' message on my Mac Pro with Lion... Any suggestions? What should i do to resolve the problem?

I turn on my mac without hearing the chime boot sound from Apple.. after that im always turning on my Motu (extermal soundcard firewire) i still got that message, by audio midi setup my Motu appears from some minutes and then goes away again.. The same time that my Motu appears i simply start a mp3 file to check if i got a sound but still no luck... Made all possible updates but still no sound.. I'm using Logic pro 9 and have lots of thing here to do.. Try also a hotline from Apple to call but im waiting like more than an hour and still no answer... Please any suggestions? I am afraid it can be a hardware problem
This problem came for the first time after i made an update in Avid Protools...
After that i tryed everything and still got no sound... Next step i FORMAT my Mac Pro.. Back everything UP and reinstall Lion and still '' NO OUTPUT DEVICES FOUND'', i performed a clean install.. Thats why i am afraid it can be a Hardware problem.. So, if anyone of you guys know something about it, please share your knowledge with me..
Thanks in advance

I just installed a new Samsung 840 to my 2010 mac pro as a second hard drive. It is not showing up in my startup drive in system preferences

I have a 2010 Mac Pro with a 1TB HHD. I just installed and formatted a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I want to install a clean copy of Mavericks to the SSD and have the computer boot up to it. How do I install Mavericks to the SSD? Also, the Samsung SSD does not show up as an option in Start up in system preferences. Please help!

What OS do you want to install? If you bought your MP early enough, it may have shipped with actual install discs, and you could use those. If it shipped with Lion or newer, you will have to follow one of the procedures mentioned by Niel.
You can get Mavericks from the App Store. Before you run the installer, copy (copy, not move) the whole "Install Mavericks" download to a backup location so that you can install it again if necessary. The installer in the Applications Folder will be deleted after installation is complete, so a copy is needed.
