Motion still fragile after installing it in a MacPro

OK so we've had the FCP update so where is the Motion update. As a Pro user of this software I am very unhappy with Motion as it stands at the moment. I sent a request to Apple as I cannot use Motions keyframes anymore. This has been since I bought the MacPro and the Intel chipset. I have a 3 Ghz MacPro with 6 Gig of ram, it should be a flying machine and it's far from it...the only programme to benefit from all this power is compresser. Well I for one rejoice in the forth comming Premiere Pro for Mac due in mid summer, appart from audio conforming, Premiere Pro was streets ahead of FCP.
Apple needs a kick in the butt to get all it's apps running properly with Intel as FCP, Motion, Studio Pro and Aperture all run sluggishly in my MacPro.

Is it possible to be more specific about the
problems? You mention you can't use keyframes
anymore. What happens when you try to use them?
If I try to use keyframes I get so far then the programme quits to the desktop, no warning.
You also mention that programs are slow (aside from
compressor). What is slow, and what are some examples
of slow-ness?
Slowness I compair to my other Macs, I have a 24" 2.16 Ghz Duo core Intel iMac (2GB ram & Nvidea 7600 GT card))which runs Aperture much faster than my MacPro ? Faster being...If I change a slider to adjust the highlights it works instantly with no delay on the MacPro I get a delay and sometimes the beach ball of death for a nano second.
My MacPro has 3Ghz Duo core, 6 GB ram, ATI Radion X1900 XT card running two 23" Apple HD displays...and in Aperture I get lesser real time responce than in my 24" iMac ???
FCP-5 I was under the impression that a lot of things turn real time the more processing power you give the programme, I can on occasions get red lines above disolves !
The main difference between my previous G5s and MacPro is the amount of beach balls I am now seing when doing simple tasks that are no problem to my previous G5.
What have you done to try and correct this? Have you
trashed preferences, reinstalled the software, tried
using a different user account, repaired persmission,
run a hardware test, or rebuilt the system?
I have repaired permissions, re-installed Motion, ran Tech tool deluxe.
We're here to help, but when your system is acting as
a the exception to the rule, it helps to have these
kinds of details.

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

Hi applecore_eater,
When Leopard came out, machines were shipping with Tiger for 3-5 months after it's release. So the fact that you bought a machine with Leopard still installed is not uncommon, especially considering we're not even a month into release. Matter of fact, I'd be surprised to see a lot of machines (unless CTO) that are coming with Snow Leopard.
The battery issue is not specific to Snow Leopard or the MacBook Air. I've deployed SL to about 15-20 MacBook Airs and all of them have been perfectly fine (batteries).

Motion Non-Functional After Install?

I bought and installed Motion a couple of weeks ago, and have thus far been unable to get it to work. It's slow to load, which may be due to the fact that my machine is on the lower end of the acceptable specifications, but when the program opens, the Utility window is the only one which is present (no Project pane, Canvas, or Timing pane), and there is no way to make the missing windows appear.
Also, when I open the Preferences window, the buttons and menus are nonfunctional (the icons at the top of the pane do not appear, and even the window controls don't work). The only way to close the Preference pane is to quit the program.
I've tried to reinstall the program by throwing out the files and receipt and rerunning the installer, but each time the problems are the same after install. Has anyone had a similar problem, or know how this might be solved?

If the UI is missing its usually because the Pro Application Support is missing or out of date for your configuration.
If you're on Tiger:

If you're on Panther:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport31macosx1039.html
If you've installed this in the past, remove the ProAppRuntime.pkg from /Library/Receipts/ This will trick the update to reinstall completely instead of possibly skipping any bits.

Still restarts after instalation WIN7

Hi everyone,
I have problem, I have bought Lenovo IdeaPad G570 without OS. I tried to instal WIN7, everything going fine, but at the end of instalation, notebook wrote "logon process initialization failure" and still restarts. In instalacion I deleted partitions, and format the new one so i havent my backup file. I tried to recover it, but still the same. Could you help me pls.

System get restarted after installation of windows. I would suggest you to kindly check the SATA mode controller in the BIOS mode, change it to IDE or compatible mode. To do so please restart the system and press F2 key continuously, Bios screen will appear.
Also you can check with other operating system.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer

Why won't my Photoshop CS2 still open after installing CS4?

Hi,
I've just installed CS4 Design standard on my PC - alongside my existing CS2 installation, because I didn't want to uninstall CS2 until I'd spent time getting used to CS4.
However, when I try to open images with Photoshop CS2, it's almost impossible to do so - CS4 Photoshop opens up instead. If I try to open an image using Bridge CS2, the only option is to open it with PS-CS4. Alternatively, if I right-click on the image in Windows Explorer and select 'Open with', my only option is PS-CS4 (Even if I select Browse at this point and navigate to the PS-CS2 exe, it still insists on opening PS-CS4.)
The only way I can successfully open images in PS-CS2 is to open the application first, using the shortcut in the Start menu or Quick Launch, and then I have to use File>Open to open the image.
Interestingly, I have no problems with InDesign - yes, ID-CS4 is the default if I double-click an ID file, but I can choose to use ID-CS2 by right clicking and selecting 'Open with'. Same goes for Illustrator.
Has anyone else had this problem with Photoshop CS2 and been able to work around it?
Thanks,
Steven

Is Adobe Reader 10.1.3 still usable after install of Adobe XI ?

Good Evening:
                           This Evening , I downloaded Adobe Reader XI (122.00 MB).
                           I just finished using it to print copies of my bank statement, succesfully, after a week of trying to resolve a no print
                           problem of same. I still have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 (117.00 MB) but can't remove it from my list of active programs as it
                           blocks removal. Is it still usefull now that I have Adobe reader XI ?
                           Thank You for Your earl;y reply to my question,
                          Respectfully,      Reg Wilkins.

Hello Again:
                        I followed Your instructions to download and open Acrobat uninstall tool
                        and I reviewed the comprehensive removal information.
                        The removal info showed clearly that 10.1.3 was indeed removed.
                        However when I returned to Add & Remove Programs, to verify if the 10.1.3
                        reader was gone, I found it was still there. I tried to remove it but again the
                       "Patch cannot be opened" message popped up and I'm still plagued with
                        this 10.1.3 Reader which refuses to uninstall.
                        Is there another way this 10.1.3 Reader can be helped on it's way?
                        Respectfully, Reg. Wilkins

Motion 5 crashes after installing Mountain lion OS

I installed Mountain Lion OS a couple of days back and Motion 5 is crashing with the following error message.
There was a problem connecting to the server “hn365Server”. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I don't have any problems with my internet connections and not sure what could be the problem. I'm in the middle of an urgent project and need to get motion up and running soon. Pls help

Your processor is alright however the specs on your machine are lackluster. It has a slow drive and not enough ram. Your first problem is that with that little ram the computer will use the drive for paging. Since the drive is 5400 (the slowest hard drives in the world) your going to be waiting.. a lot. Up your ram and upgrade to a 7200 rpm hard drive youll be happy. If you really want a gem system upgrade to 8gb ram and get a swift SSD drive.
Its a technology problem, not an OS problem. Newer OS's have extra features that capitalize on modern tech.. 5400rpm tech are like.. 90s tech... Cant believe they were selling those right up to 2011 or whenever.. criminal...

Iphone bluetooth dropouts are still happening after installing ios v5

Hi
I have just installed iOS v5.1 on my 3GS hoping that it would stop the bluetooth dropouts when connected to my car. This still hasn't fixed it, with something like 19 dropouts and reconnections in 25 kilometers. This happens everyday, therefore have had to cancel bluetooth connections. This really is a safety concern when driving. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

This also happens with iPhone 4s on iOS 5.1.1 and on 6.0.1.
Every other minute.
With audio connected to a bluetooth receiver - bBrand new Logitech device.
With Katinkas bluetooth speaker. Also brand new.
Ever since iOS 3.1.1 and iTunes 8, Apple hasn't delivered a single problem-free version of iOS and iTunes.
Ever since iTunes 9, they broke LSPs on Windows - either iTunes won't connect to the app store,
or other software relying on the proper use of LSPs needs to be uninstalled and can't be used anymore.
iPhones are constantly garbling up cover art, and nothing but a complete restore can fix that. This problem is there for at least three years, if not longer.
On iOS 6.x, iPhone loses WiFi connection ever little while and continues to download on cellular, using up the monthly quota in lightning speed. This didn't happen in iOS 5.x.
Instead of ADMITTING and especially FIXING those annoying bugs, they are putting their efforts into messing up or removing things that used to be nice and useful.
Nowhere else have I seen such a bunch of incompetent, unable, snobbish and ignorant people as at Apple.
I'm sorry to say - but they should rename to CRAPple.

No mouse, keyboard, USB after installing 10.9 on MacPro

This morning I installed os 10.9 on my early 08 mac pro. The update from 10.8 went smoothly until the system rebooted and the login box appeared.
I can't move the mouse or type anything.
I'm using a standard usb apple keyboard and mouse plugged into the back. No, hubs or anything else.
USB devices don't seem to get power from any port, my iPhone wont charge and the LED on mouse is dark.
Luckily I had screen sharing turned on and could log-in from my laptop.
The system seems to run normally otherwise.
USB works fine if I boot back into OS 10.8
some other things I've tried:
resting the SMC and PRAM
booting with the shift key down
booting from the recovery partition - no mouse or keybord in the
This is in the system log when the mac pro boots:
USBF: 241. 35 The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
Any ideas?

Okay - I fixed it. 10.9 Dosn't like my old airport card.
I took it out and things run okay.
This is it

Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

Hi,
I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5 the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
Thanks,
joe

Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?
