Motion two crashes - macbook pro

Hi, i dont know a whole lot about the technical side of the program but i am using final cut pro. for some reason everytime i open motion 2 it crashes before it begins. someone said i need to download a universal binary from the apple web site for it to work correctly, but i dont even know what that means. if anyone can explain to me in basic terms what a universal binary is, how and if it will help with motion 2 and where i can download it, i would be very grateful. thank you. kind regards. chris

Hey Sam
aaaahhhh!!!!! This is a topic, as a recent neophyte to the apple universe, I've had some painful lessons in. Patrick is right...the big question is "do you have an INTEL BASED MAC ?" If so BEWARE!!! of all software you buy for it. MAKE SURE IT SAYS "UNIVERSAL" with what looks, kinda, like a yin yang symbol. You see, not all programs that run on the older G4 or G5 macs will run properly on an intel based machine. The only ones you can really trust to actually run on an intel mac are "UNIVERSAL BINARY" programs. You can look at my posting "Motion 1 (not on intel machine) so what now... "if you want to feel my pain.

I had CS4 on my iMac desktop (two users) but my hard drive completely crashed. We bought two new Macbook Pros (one for me and one for my daughter) but CS4 didn't transfer over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate it there. My daughter is head

We had an iMac with CS4 and the hard drive finally crashed. My daughter and I were both users on that computer. We purchased two new macbook pros and had the data transferred but CS4 didn't come over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate anything from it. She is heading off to college soon and eventually will need to upgrade but for now CS4 is just fine. I also need it on my computer. Help??

Contact support by web chat to reset activations and reinstal lthe programs properly.

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Motion crashes - Macbook Pro Software update and Firmware update

Anyone out there that is working with Motion 3.0.1 on one of the new Macbook Pros (Santa Rosa) and has installed both the Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0 and the EFI Firmware update (for the 15 inch models)???
Motion 3 crashes on the Macbook Pros with the MBP Software update installed (see thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1028746&tstart=45
The solution so far is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch EXCEPT the software update 1.0. However, I'm trying to find out if anyone has installed the Firmware update, which requires the software update to be installed first, and if they are running smoothly.
???

I just restarted then tried to open InDesign again and it let me download a java update that seems to have fixed it.

Crash MacBook Pro 2010

Hello,
I don't know why my question is not here anymore as I posted this two days ago?
So again:
Hello,
history of my MacBook Pro 17 inch from 2010 can be read here Black Screen on MacBook Pro i7
As you see there was always a problem with the graphic card. Nevertheless it worked flawlessly until last week.
I remember that I upgraded to 1Password 4. Since then I had unexpected crashes of Firefox, Finder and at least also the computer shut down without warning.
When I was installing an upgrade for Parallels the MacBook went down, when I tried to restart it: no volume was found!
I started from an extern hard drive copy, which I had made with Carbon Copy Cloner. With DiskWarrior I was able to save the data but not to repair the intern volume. Also Disk Utility could not do that. So I formatted the intern volume and did an clean installation of Mavericks without importing any user content
As I worked now from the extern hard drive, copying the saved data back to the intern drive, the MacBook suddenly crashed again and I even could not start it from the extern drive anymore!
I went to Comspot (Apple Dealer) where they checked the hardware. No problem was found. Strange enough, when they repaired the intern volume with DiskWarrior it was there again! But the extern hard drive could not be repaired with it.
Now I felt really frustrated and alone. With this hint https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5279792?tstart=0 I was able to save the data from the extern hard drive.
After days of installing a clean Mavericks and installing all Applications manually I am now nearly back again where I was before (did NOT install the 1Password 4, but old version 3)
BUT:
- I have unexpected crashes of the Finder
- sometimes when I click New Start, Finder crashes and a new start will not be done
- some Applications quit directly when they are started (Winclone 4)
I feel that the whole system is not as stable as before and are frightened.
Here is the etrecheck:

Motion 4 and MacBook Pro with integrated nVidia 9400M Grapichs?

Hi. I wonder if somebody has experience using Motion 4 (and/or other motion graphics software)with a MacBook Pro 13" or 15" with integrated nVidia 9400M Graphics.
So far I know those laptops are very good for video editing and Photoshop, but I don't still know about people that animate with them.
Thanks for your answers!

Heya Mark,
Thank you for responding. The information provided leaves a lot to consider. Personally I would consider frequent solo layers or lack of expectance for realtime performance for anything moderately complex in HD comparative to simple, minimal Motion projects as originally stated. But everyone has their own opinion I suppose...
Checked out the first few seconds of your linked reel - pretty cool. Like most reviewing reels I only looked at the first 15 seconds since I consider that the just of the reel. Then I went back and re-watched and I was especially interested in the West Marine flag. Nice fluttering of the flag - produced using only Motion? So you produced that solely on the MBP described in your post? What was the FPS on the project file? Have a project file with included media to download for testing?
Best regards,
OP,
With my profession I use many different systems/configurations on a daily basis. So yes; I have tested the performance on comparative configurations. Cinema 4D does not = Motion and "pretty good" is an opinionated statement. Much like "acceptable" or any other opinion you will receive from your inquiry that begs the opinions from others that may omit specific hardware and/or project configurations comparative to your consideration. Maybe you should try going to a Apple store and testing a project yourself on the machine you're considering... Just a thought.
Yeah your MBP will work - it's just that there's better machines out there can produce better results. If your consideration is the best that you can get for your budget then you'll get the best performance that you can get. I described it as "acceptable". If it's a black/white, yes/no question of whether your MBP consideration will work with Motion then the answer is yes. Otherwise you're asking for an opinion that may contain uncertainty. That's the deal. Best of luck on your hardware choice. I hope it works out for you! The lack of responses tells a tale for me. If this thread was flooded with responses form others saying "yeah the 13" MBP with integrated gfx card works GREAT with Motion" then I might consider the hardware. But two responses saying "acceptable" and "surprising amount" tells me that there's not much to hope for. If you're surprised by the results that your hardware performs at then you should not expect much from the get-go. I expect high performance from Mac Pro - I'm not surprised by its performance.

The Motion problem in Macbook Pro

I am still waiting for Apple to fix the problem that appears to be between Motion 2 & 3 and MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0.
Meanwhile Motion is 100% usless, unless a reinstall of the entire OS X (anybody successfull with that?).
Today it's almost 4 weeks since Apple made public this problem. And like 3 weeks without any news or friendly solution about this. Check: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306038
It means that almost everybody with a new MacBook Pro and Motion 2 or 3 is not able to run this application.
Notice this facts:
1)Motion is a PRO Application.
2)MacBook Pro is a PRO Computer.
3)MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 is recommended by Apple to all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookprosoftwareupdate10.html)
because it fixes important bugs on this computers.
4)This update fixes some problems, yes, but causes another: Motion crashes 100% of the time you try to use it.
5)The need of making an Archive & install of the OS X in order to undo the Update is by far one of the less friendly solutions ever seen by any user. And it's worse when you don't know for sure that it will work.
6)Pro users are the supposed target of MacBook Pro and Motion, and it is supposed that they have to be able to their job with that. The second part of the last sentence is not true.
7)The Software and the Hardware that appear to be in conflict are both wrote and designed by Apple, and the solution of this problem it only can come from Apple. The second part of the last sentence is, still, not true.
As owner of a MacBook Pro, and owner of a Final Cut Studio 2 suite I expect some kind of respect and attention from Apple. Not to mention a fast and simple solutions that helps me, not makes everything WORSE.
It will be cool to know how many MacBook Pro users are having the same problem with Motion. And how many of them do not accept the actual situation. How many of them want to demand to Apple a fair solution to this, at least some kind of information about HOW MUCH MORE WE HAVE TO WAIT.
Anybody knows any way to accomplish this?
I'm a big fan of Apple computers and applications, but I am not going to accept all this without demanding some kind of explanation from Apple and a real solution NOW!

Maybe I'll try the FW drive solution. Thanks for the idea!
I agree with you that maybe there is no way to make Motion Engineers to work faster, I hope this problem is in some kind of priority for the Motion Team and that they can find a way to fix it.
But what is bothering me here is that Apple is not giving public information about this. The only public official article about this problem hasn't been updated by Apple since 20 July. I think they have to know something more by today.
As user I want to know what is going on or how much I will have to wait for some solution. I don't want to accuse the Motion Engineers, that's not my intention. Because I think it's not their fault. Here the problem has had to be a lack of communication between Apple divisions.
I want to accuse Apple in the way this problem is being treated. Not giving enough information to its users. And that the whole problem could have been avoided if they had tested the update before publishing it.
Maybe you can say that it always has been like this with other problems, but I don't think it's the right way. At least is not what I expected from Apple.

Finder suspect in frequently crashing MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro mid 2010 with ML crashes very frequently that it is begining to be unusable. It used to crash in Lion, but after a clean install of ML, it crashes much more.
When it crashes I get a black screen and immediately later i get a grey screen attached, then it starts booting up.
After so many crashes i can narrow down the offender - Finder. As long as i don't use Finder, the crashes do not appear, but as soon as i start using Finder, the changes of a crash rise exponentially and it may crash as soon as the Finder window opens.
I also started noticing a pattern in the crash logs since i started saving them.
I noticed that both of these parameters - com.apple.driver.AppleUSBUHCI and com.apple.filesystems.smbfs - are almost always the star players in the "last loaded" and "last unloaded" (respectively) kext
below is a snippet from one of the crash logs to illustrate where these two parameters are situated
last loaded kext at 322317713273: com.apple.filesystems.smbfs 1.8 (addr 0xffffff7f977af000, size 229376)
last unloaded kext at 335446223059: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBUHCI 5.1.5 (addr 0xffffff7f963dc000, size 65536)
Just based on the names of these parameters, it seems to be related to the Samba file system and USB drivers.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

Repeated crashes - MacBook Pro 15-inch, Early 2011

Just this evening, my MacBook started crashing repeatedly. It has occurred 4 times in the last 4 hours.
The first time, I was watching a gif. My screen went completely black and did not come back (though the backlight was still on) and I restarted the computer manually.
The next time, I was watching a video. The screen turned black just as before and the audio stopped, but after a few seconds, white and red vertical stripes appeared over the entirety of the screen. I restarted the computer manually.
The third time, I was watching another video. The screen turned a lilac color with white vertical stripes. The audio was skipping. I restarted the computer manually.
The fourth time, I was just reading over a website when my computer went black and turned itself off.
Any help?
Here are some specs:
Type: MacBook Pro 15-inch, Early 2011
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB

Apple RAID crashes MacBook Pro

Using Disk utility I created a mirrored RAID set from 2, 2TB Seagate FA GoFlex Desk Media Disks on a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. After upgrading to 10.6.8 i cannot mount the RAID at all. As soon as the MacBook boots up it crashes instanly giving the "hit power key" message. I does however still mount on machines running 10.5.8. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

The AppleCare Protection Plan extends the original one-year warranty for an additional two (not three) years, giving you a total of three years of coverage from the purchase date of the computer. If you bought the computer and the plan at an Apple Store or from the Apple Online Store, the plan should have been registered to the computer automatically within a few days, without your sending anything in. You can check to make sure that happened by entering your computer's serial number on this page:

Error and crash Macbook pro retina

I'm using Macbook Pro retina approximately twice
a day does not respond dramatically to manipulation of the mouse and then the screen goes white and then restored with a picture window and the power button is written in multiple languages has been a mistake, press any button I press Poppy climbs the window is restored and that the maximum error due to the restored and what needs to send report to Apple. Started this idiocy about two weeks after purchase poppy. What is it and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. I think this is either due to battery or because the system (I think Leo is installed after you upgrade to the mountain lion is gone) or because of installed updates before they install it worked fine. I have moved the resolution to 1680x1050 on the Retina and everything works fine until I feel bad that the lion adapted to new hardware.

I would return the unit to your local Apple Store or AASP. What you describe is not normal, no matter which version of OS X you are running. You're having crashes, kernel panics, screen problems, etc. It needs to be returned to be fixed or replaced.

Skype Crashing Macbook Pro

I have had a Macbook Pro 15" for about a year now, and suddenly Skype seems to be crashing my computer. The computer has 8gb of ram with an i7 processor, so i have no idea why Skype, is suddenly crashing up my computer. Ive been using, Free Memory, to track how much ram is available on my computer at certain times, and now, when i launch Skype, it goes down to 18mb out of 8 gb. I don't know why this is happening??

I've been having the same issue. I've had my Macbook Pro 17" for two years now. Recently (starting about a month an a half ago), every time I start Skyping on battery power (I have no issues when Skyping with powercord) my Macbook Pro crashes (as if the battery were running out). I need to plugin my computer and reboot to get going again.

Two months Macbook Pro 13 and Macbook Pro Retina 13

If I have bought a 13" Macbook Pro and after one month it comes out the Macbook Pro Retina 13 I couldn't return to have the new one, but shouldn't Apple substitute (after me paying the difference) for the new model?
Is it ethical that the company present as "new" an upgrade of Macbook Pro and then in less than two month announce a groundbreaking new product?

There is no Macbook Pro 13" retina. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro
You bought a computer based on your needs. Technology always advances so regardless what you bought it won't be long before a newer model is available.
