Mavericks OS10.9.1 prevents use of second touch screen on Mac Pro.

One screen works fine, but connecting a second is a dead loss. Touches on second screen are picked up by first screen, then the whole lot freezes and we have to restart. Tried two different touch drivers, but the same in both.
We think it is an Apple issue as others seem to be having different problems using dual screens. See this link from Display Link http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=354
Has anyone got around this problem? Our second screen is in the attic until Apple do a fix.

Okay i maust make a new case. further testing gives the result that Reason is not involved.

    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

  • How can I use an SSD in a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 2.66Ghz

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to work out how to use my new SSD in an old 2006 MacPro. Bear with me, I'm not an expert and trying to work out what is best for me.
    I recently bought a 1TB Samsung SSD 840EVO to use in my old Mac Pro, not to use as my main machine, but as a network slave to save RAM with sound sample libraries.
    I also got an Apricorn SATA III Velocity Solo x2 - Extreme Performance SSD Upgrade Kit to get high speeds
    http://www.apricorn.com/products/desktop-ssd-hdd-upgrade-kits/vel-solox2.html?gc lid=CLOi46bvqMICFVGCMgodPG8AdA
    After installing the HD using the SATAIII connector in a PCIe slot, I did a hard drive test and realised I could only get about 160mbps, not 300-500mpbs which I think the SSD should run at. I had my friend test it on his machine too, and we realised the problem is the "Link Width" which says "x1" and not "x4" or something, so that the speed isn't running at full speed.
    So apparently it's not compatable.
    Apparently what I CAN do is install it in a regular Hard Drive bay with a sled, which will be SATA II ... will that work?
    I think I can use this: http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Pro-2006-2008-Sled-Drives/dp/B00AN55034
    Anyway - is this what I should be doing to get the fastest available connection?
    Any advice would be great- thanks!!!

    SATA II is generally just fine, no fuss no muss, for the system. Using PCIe to boot adds problems and most if not all such PCIe SSD cards do NOT WORK in 32-bit Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 (and the 3,1 is also sometimes difficult with some cards).
    Data uses though are useful, work, and benefit. Lightroom, Aperture, scratch, even iPhoto - all those graphic libraries.
    I would rewrite and make it "will the native SATA II drive bays" work, and the answer to that is YES. But not faster.
    You have a 4x and 8x slot, so one of those is fine.
    It is the reads and zero latency seeks along with queue depth and high 90K IOs per sec that help an SSD shine.
    Putting a 250GB or 500GB EVO 840 is the easiest and best return on system improvement you can make for $120-240 (plus $14 for Icy Dock adapter).
    Even the 2008 has two 4x PCIe 1.1 slots. The 2009 has PCIe 4x 2.1 slots that share bandwidth and cap out (only learned from stripping SSDs using two PCIe cards and 2-4 SSDs), so they aren't perfect either! ONLY the 5,1 really has the best PCIe design and setup.
    Sonnet only supports or recommends their Tempo Pro which is what I bought, so I don't know off hand how well yours works and if it even will. Some cards do require EFI 64-bit, AND 10.8.x or later, and maybe even PCIe 2.0 - but only to work, ie they don't work or not supported in PCIe 1.0... but NOT about the bandwidth.
    Booting in 10 seconds is nice. Launching a full dozen apps in 10 seconds (and ready to use) also. Only larger program suites takes 20 seconds now.
    250MB/sec is nothing to sneeze at when it comes to boot drive SSD.

    I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
    Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

  • Can I use an iMac to control a mac pro

    I have a 2008 Mac pro that's working well. Since I'm doing a lot a video creation that needs to go to DVD I'm not ready to give it up. but I see the need for a more modern machine for some of the newer software I would like to use. so here is the question.
    Can I use a new iMac as my primary machine, and send the video files to the mac pro for rendering, compression, and storage?
    also can I boot up an older OS (snow leopard) from a disk on the mac pro?
    thanks

  • Multiple displays with 15"and 19"monitor using a VGA splitter on my Mac Pro

    Hi, so I have a brand spanking new Mac Pro and have been using a cheap, basic 15" monitor with it. As I'm doing lots of Edit/graphics work I've just purchased a new monitor, it's a 19" Acer flatscreen. Now I'm hoping to work the same display across both monitors, so I can set up my preview window on the 15" and do my work on the 19" screen.
    The Mac has two DVI output sockets in the back, both monitors are VGA but I only have one DVI to VGA adaptor. Though I do have a VGA splitter! So I've tried going from one DVI socket to VGA, then put the splitter into that and then each monitor into each split socket, if that makes sense? I now have the same display on each screen i.e. while I'm typing this I'm looking at it twice but I want to see it once over two screens, how do I adjust this, there's no option in display settings?
    Is it simply that I need to buy another DVI to VGA adaptor and use the other port? Just looking to save myself a tenner, that's all!
    Thanks!
    Alex

    Yep, you're right! Thanks, working now, very useful.

  • Using Multiple Keyboard/Mice on single Mac Pro

    Hi Folks,
    I've tried to search this topic, with no joy.
    Basically, I would like to run a Mac Pro with dual monitors, and 2 users, working simultaneously. In this app, I would like each user to be able to run applications on their own screen and use separate Keyboard/Mouse for the applications on their separate screens. The screens would run as an extended desktop, but the applications on each screen would need to recognize their designated I/O (Keyboard/Mouse) device.
    I see plenty about running 2 systems with 1 keyboard/mouse... but not the other way around.
    Has anyone come across this mode of operation before, I am sure it is possible to do.... but would have to be some software behind it, so that the data streams from the proper I/O makes it to the proper application, even when multiple windows of the same app may be running simultaneously (like 2 windows of Safari).
    Any thoughts?
    Dual G4, 17" PB G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    To give a bit of background behind my interest.
    I homeschool my 2 children, and am looking to purchase a new Mac. In dual monitor mode, I see the possiblity to limit my purchase to one system, where each user is able to have their own monitor and I/O control. An additional advantage is that in Mirror monitor mode, I can control the system, while they are able watch a lesson. Using this method, I would purchase a higher power system which provides my kids plenty of power, even when they are both using the system, and gives me a higher power system when I use it by myself (sort of like a super-user). Basically the best of both worlds, and the actual price resides around the cost of 2 independent systems, but gives me a high power system for other activities.
    I can envision a lot of applications for such activities. Some I could see in a networked environment. I am actually surprized we have not seen any office applications go to the model of multi-player gaming, where many users can work on the same document simultaneously. There are of course database applications which operate in this manner, but I am not aware of any productivity apps.

  • Using Lion Internet Recovery on new Mac Pro...

    I have a Mac Pro that I purchased in February 2012, and I'm selling it because the printing sub-system on a Mac is terrible.  Won't go into details here -- suffice to say I've spent these past 3 months going round-and-round with printing issues, and I'm tired of dealing with it...
    Since I'm selling it, I wanted to erase everything and re-set it all back to factory specs...
    I had two partitions on there, the original Mac partition, and a BootCamp partition...  Booting up using Command+R and selecting Disk Utility wouldn't let me erase those partitions and create a single new partition...  Kept giving me a Cannot Unmount Disk error...  So I used a partition manager on The Ultimate Boot CD to erase the paritions on my Mac's HDD...  Figured I would then use Internet Recovery to re-load everything on there...  Don't really care if it takes a few hours to download...
    But Internet Recovery is not working!!!  I hold Command+R or Command+Option+R and they both do the same thing -- a blinking folder with a question-mark in the midddle of it.
    And the only thing I can find that will let me try using an external disk to boot with is something called Lion Recovery Disk Assistant -- but I can't use that because it requires a functioning Mac with a Recovery Partition...
    So how do I get this stupid thing to boot up to the Internet Recovery mode?  I need to get it ready to ship later today...

  • How can I use Final Cut Express in a Mac Pro

    I want to know how could I use my Final Cut Express HD programm (Version 3) in my new Mac Pro.

    FCE 3.0 was not designed to work with Intel based Macs when they were introduced years ago so you have no chance with a modern Mac.
    You must upgrade to FCE 4 unless you want to move onto Final Cut Pro X which is designed to be used with the latest technology.
    Final Cut Studio 3 will also work OK.

  • Can an iMac be used as a monitor for a Mac Pro?

    Hi all,
    I'm getting nowhere looking in the search, so I'm hoping someone can clear something up for me:
    is it possible to use an iMac as a display for a Mac Pro?
    I am beginning to think I'd better get a Mac Pro, but I already have an iMac, for which I've been researching getting external storage so I can do Final Cut Studio editing and back up of it all... as someone suggested, might be better in the long run to just get it all in the Mac Pro, and have the option and simplicity to upgrade as and when... but then there's the need for a display for the Mac Pro, which does whack the price up... but if I could use this iMac, what a beautiful monitor...
    I thought someone said that Final Cut would not allow another computer to be attached though... is that the case, anyone know?
    Thanks for any knowledge and help, much appreciated... I'm learning to not rush into anything, as you learn more the whole picture seems to change!
    Cheers, Syd

    The current 27-inch iMac can. Other iMac models can't outside of a VNC setup or ScreenRecycler; all such solutions require a standalone monitor for setup and troubleshooting.

  • Using Logic 7.2 on a Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7

    I am researching purchasing a New Protools/Logic System
    Seems the version of Protools to use with the new Mac Pros is 7.2.1, which only recently came out to work with the new "Mac Pros" Digidesign has stated thhat it works with and Mac OS 10.4.7
    The latest version of Logic is 7.2 which has been out for a while....hmmm
    Is anybody using Logic 7.2 on a New Mac Pro with Protools 7.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.7, and does it work?

    Logic Pro 7.2.2 is not compatible with DAE/TDM on a Mac Pro INTEL.
    You will see only "CoreAudio" as available choice, when trying to engage your audio hardware.
    We have to wait for any announcements in this regard, maybe at AES or DigiDays in San Francisco.

  • Can I use 2 Matrox DoubleHead2Go on a Mac Pro 1.1 ?

    Hi there,
    I'd like to us 2 dualhead2go in order to use them on a 2009 Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI outputs.
    Can a Mac OSX system on a Mac Pro 1.1 with 2 DVI handle 2 devices like that, one on each DVI, in order to have 4 screens ?
    Or could I only do 3 screens with an only one TripleHead2Go on one of the DVI available on the MacPro 1.1 ?
    Let me know if you have tested that or now a bit more than the Matrox website...
    Regards,
    Julien

    If you have a mac Pro 1,1 which can only run up to Mac OS X 10.7.5, your options are somewhat limited.
    If you have a 2009 model or any model that can run Mac OS X AFTER 10.7.5, there are many graphics card solutions you can use to support as many as six displays directly from your Mac.

  • Can you use a VGA monitor on the Mac Pro model?

    I'm considering getting a new Mac Pro to replace my beloved PowerMac G4 MDD. I have a ViewSonic Graphics Series 19" CRT monitor (VGA) that I use as a palette monitor, with a 19" SyncMaster LED as my main monitor (DVI). My PowerMac's video card has both DVI and VGA ports.
    Will I be able to use my VGA monitor with the basic Mac Pro (MB871LL/A)? Will a DVI/VGA video port adapter work, and if so, will it work well? Thanks.

    I had two 19" Viewsonic WS monitors hooked up to my X1900XT on my MacPro and it worked just fine with the VGA/DVI adapters (I got the small 2" white adapters that don't have any "cord" in the middle. I swapped them out for two 22" WS Acer monitors and now use the DVI inputs and I am still happy.
