New Mac Book Pro & Logic Pro vs New 8 Core Mac

I think this question may have been answered. a question, but here goes anyway. I am using a new Macbook Pro duel core and running Logic Pro on it. I get "system overload" every time I start playback on multiple tracks. Then if I restart the playback it runs pretty well. My question is, if I was using the new 8 core big Mac would I be running smooth with no hiccups or overload conditions? Even though my Macbook Pro is new, is it the wrong machine for running Logic Pro? I have 2GB of Ram. I also run Pro Tools LE 7.4 with a 002 Digi Surface Controller with no problems.
Advice please?

The "system overload" warnings have plagued all systems, regardless of how many cores are present: PowerPC:s, Intels, Tigers and Leopards..

I bought it from Other World Computer last week for $95. 3rd party, I suppose.

Give this a try:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I am using mac book pro mid 2012( i7 core, 750gb)

I am using mac book pro mid 2012( i7 core, 750gb)
I am planing to upgrade hard drive to more than 1TB
But I am not sure which one will be correct with medium performance for entry level animation

There aren't too many options for 1 TB or larger notebook drives. Visit OWC to see an example of products.

My mac book pro (2.66Ghz Intel core i7 4Gb ram) crashes every time I open iPhoto, browse photos or videos from Finder and work with slides, this started after I upgraded to mountain lion, what can I do??

I updated my OS to mountain lion and since then my mac book pro is virtually useless, seeng pictures, videos, using graphics applications and Iphoto is impossible, the screen goes black, and the system restarts.
This even happens sometimes at login, the login screen appears then the computer crashes and restarts, sometimes more than once, yesterday it even happened 6 times in a row before I was actually able to enter the password and log in.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Cannot access my CDROM: Mac book pro 8,1 - Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011)

Aloha & Happy New Year,
Was running (triple booted with rEFIT) MAC OSX, win7 (64) and Linux (BT5/64) all was well. At some point Win7 crashed, thus I began the reinstall process.
Problem one, reinstalled OSX with install CD without issue. Then during the Q&A segment of fresh install vs.- use a backup copy option; I chose backup copy and somehow I ended up without the correct login pw. So now I cannot login. Nor can I reset using the Master or Firmware pw. I have tried every imaginable pw.
Problem two, during the iphone /iOS 5 upgrade debacle (The "Encrypt iphone backup "PW issue") I lost amongst other vital info, my notes which contained a copy of my firmware and master pw.
The main issue, I cannot access or utilize my CDROM in order to reinstall or access the disk utility. It simply bypasses any CDROM straight to the login screen.
I have attempted:
Restart HOLD-C, PRAM, NVRAM, Option key, restarting with WIN7, restarting with Linux, two different USB drives. Powered off, removed all cables. Opened up back panel, (grounded myself) removed power from logic board and re-connected all parts after several minutes. The question, why is the CD bypassed each and every time? Mind you, this is not the first time I have faced the bypass of the CDROM, yet each time before I have somehow solved the issue. It is a mystery. As in other threads I have posted I do have an iMAC next to my MB Pro. I unseccusfully attempted to use the iMAC for assistance in accessing the mb pro.
I AM AT A LOSS.

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock.
Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

How to get my mbox 2 mini working on my new mac book pro os x 10.8.2

I just bought my mac book pro 2.9chz intel core i7 a few days ago with os x 10.8.2 running and i cant seem to get my mbox mini 2 to register. How can I get it to work? Can I downgrade my operating system or upgrade the mbox driver to work on this new of system. Any help would be great thanks.

Good grief! Typing in caps is considered shouting and is very hard to read. We can all hear ya!

Mac book pro restarts for no reason, while i'm working!

here's the story:
mac book pro
2.0ghz dual core intel
2 gigs RAM
10.4.10
the whole thing started when i began playing call of duty 2 on the MBP, as it got much better frame rates than my dual 2.5 G5..... when i play call of duty 2 at least once per day, or a few times a week, the entire computer will just restart, in the middle of playing!
i thought it had to do with overheating, so i bought one of those fans for under the laptop.. but it didn't seem to help... because sometimes it would restart after having only been on for 5 minutes and playing COD2 for 30 seconds... never having a chance to heat up.
so i've continued along like this.. sometimes i can play for 2 hours, sometimes only 10 minutes.. and the whole machine just restarts..
it's one **** of a COD2 bug, so bad that it forces your computer to power off and on again... but i've found not a single person having this problem with COD2...
so, the other day, i'm at a hotel.. sitting in bed, the MBP is on the desk.. some apps are open.. likely Mail and Safari.. but it's not doing much.. and the computer restarts!
then again the other day i was working in Excel and the machine restarted...
i have no idea what's going on.. if it's a hardware problem, or a software problem... i'm going to:
1. reformat the whole machine and reinstall the system (and NOT install bootcamp/XP, although it's probably not hurting anything)
2. run for a while WITHOUT my extra (3rd party) RAM
i use my machine in some very critical situations (live music performance) and cannot have a restart happen in the middle of a concert.
if anyone has any clue as to why this is happening, please let me know. i've seen a few similar stories as this on this forum, but nothing exactly.
thank you

ok Rebis i think this appears to fix your problem , not sure though.. they say just to reinstall mac os X , back up your stuff and format the drive, reinstall the os. In my case , it just reboots by itself , no grey screen , nothing, keeps rebooting and rebooting sometimes. Ran apple hardware test, sry dont remember error # , but it said video controller error.
I hope Taylor posts again to see if his got fixed, cause it seems his problem and mine are really alike if not the same.

Mac Book Pro 2.13 17" can only boot up in Safe Mode

I have a 4+ year old Mac Book Pro 2.13 Intel Core 2 Duo 17" and it's primarily been used for heavy graphics usage it's entire life. (Adobe CS Suite etc). A few weeks ago I was watching a video, Hulu, and the entire screen froze. Since it was none responsive I force powered off. waited a few and restarted. I got to the Grey screen, Apple logo, and after 30 sec the screen went to all grey and no further. Tried it several times, powering off, removing battery, resetting PRAM, all to the same result.
Things that DO work:
Can boot in Target Disk mode and mount the disk on another computer. Ran Disk utility and all check out.
Can boot in Safe mode but screen shows some video artifacts. Light red squares all over the screen.
Can option boot to choose a disk although see the same result as above description.
Things That DONT work:
Booting from CD fails at same location as OS boot
Booting using Hardware Check Disk
I haven't visited an apple store yet for this issue since I'm hoping to repair myself once I narrow down the problem.
I'm guessing it's the power supply but not sure. It does get hot so guessing something is wonky.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Been reading a little and the Mac Book Pro may not have a power supply in the traditional sense so it may not be replaceable. Hmm

My mac book pro is verry slow, and problem with wirless, battery, cooler

Hello,
I bought 2 months ago Mac book pro 8,2 intel core i7 2760 QM CPU@ 2,4 ghz 8 core, I installed boot camp, 64 bit , and everything is running verry slow, boots up verry slow, programs, browser runs very slow, and i have a problem with my wirless connection, i get , after a wile of usage "Limited Connection" and i have to reconnect to network ( on other notebooks i dont have this issue) .
My computer runs slow because of my Hard drive 5400 rpm?
And how can i preserve my battery, are there Spare batteries on the internet for this macbook.
Sometimes when i play alot, my computer gets very hot. What cooler do you recomend for macbok pro, i heared that fan coolers aren't verry good.

<EDIT> I forgot to tell, i cannot update to my lates graphic card software, i can''t update anything. I download the update and it tells me that its not compatible with the hardware. (and yes, it is the right version 100% compatible)

FCS 2 + Mac Book Pro + Sony HDR-CX7 = ???

I'm interested in using Final Cut Studio 2 to edit AVCHD video captured from my Sony HDR-CX7. I will be using the software on my Mac Book Pro 2.16 Dual Core w/2 GB Ram… Do you forsee any problems with this setup? Would you recommend any other software?

Just to clarify a couple of points. FCS2 does support AVCHD in the latest updates. Hopefully the problems raised in the previous thread I linked are only related to iMovie '06 and FCE. As far as I am aware there should be no problems but you may want to check to see if Apple has a list of supported AVCHD camcorders somewhere.
Other than that you should be fine. I am sure if you have any problems people here will be more than willing to help out.

Sync mac book pro with intel imac

I have an dual core imac and just got a mac book pro intel 2 dual core. I run a wireless g home network and have one windows maching on the network. What i want to do is mirror the imac and mac book so that they are for the most part the same computer. I want to mirror all the itunes songs, iphoto pics, and some other documents and random stuff. I was wondering what was the best way to do this. Or should I just sell the imac and just use the mac book. I would like to do this wirelessly so i don't have to hook up a firewire everyday. Something like everynight while i sleep the two computers sync up so that i can grab the mac book as i walk out the door and have everything on it that i have on my imac. And vice versa, if is do something during the day on my mac book i want to be able to have that at home on my imac. Basically have one computer, at home use the imac and on the move use the mac book. Is this possible, how do most people do this sort of thing. Or would I be better off just selling the imac and using the mac book pro for everything. Please help, I am getting no where fast with apple support.
thanks in advance
roland

well, i don't know of a program that will do that on the fly for you.
what i would suggest is looking onto getting a .mac account.
also, you can just turn on sharing in iPhoto and iTunes (keeping all photos and music on one computer) and both machines will be able to access them. i have a g4 with an external drive that i keep all my music on - i turn on sharing and can listen to all the music on my macbook without it taking up the space on the hardrive.

Mc book pro for maya

hi everybody, I´m going to buy a mac since i´m tired of windows (actually i have workstation dell precision with 2 xeon 3.0 and 3Gb ram) wich i use mostly for 3d with maya and some compositing.
I thought to buy a mac book pro with 2.66 core duo and 2 gb of ram (but I will raise to 4gb after, couse apple for 2Gb more ask 600$ circa more and i wonder why?)
someone who already owns this beautiful laptop can helps me to understand if, with that configuration, i can run Maya without problems? And more, are you guys satisfated about your Mac Book pro?
thanks in advance!!

It will work fine, but I would put 4Gs of RAM in there. You can buy third-party Apple-certified RAM and install it yourself much cheaper.

Using Adobe CS2 with mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 .17"

As a designer working on high definition heavy graphic files intended for digital printing, i am about to go for mc book pro 2,16 duo core and 2gb ram.
I need to use CS2 (photoshop, illustrator) and know that it is not a native soft version, so not otimized for this processor. Any how, I just cannot wait CS3 (Adobe says 2007 whenever they are ready !), so I need advise of professional users of such applications on this mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 17".
I heard pretty scary rumours about such a professional use.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GO FOR PC/WIN !!!

CS runs beautifully, with really no lag at all. Keep in mind that I haven't gotten to upgrading from 1 GB RAM to 2 yet, since my tablet died and I needed to replace that. I just installed CS2 last week, and there is a lag, and we'll soon see if more memory helps. Everything works fine, no crashes, etc., but there is in my opinion a noticeable difference in loading time, and various other tasks within the apps take longer. Again, CS2 works just fine, but the performance of CS is much better.

Logic Studio on my new Mac Book Pro

I had one install of my Logic Studio on my imac and one on my old Mac Book. I bought a new Mac Book Pro and gave my old one to to my daughter. I reinstall all my iMac content to my new Mac Book via Time Machine synch. When i start Logic it asked me the key and when i put the key it declined, saying key is not right while i have original printed key which i have tried may time on this Mac book but it does not recognized this key. This iis the same key i install the first time. How should i make my Logic works on my new Mac Book. I am willing to erase from my old Mac Book if i know for sure it will work on the new one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Moniz

I don't think your problem is with the other installs. I have logic pro installed in 4 places. It will however only let me run one instance at a time because it checks over the network.
I think some how you are entering the wrong key. Or perhaps your key is for a much earlier version of logic? You might want to contact apple if you are sure your key is correct and valid.
