  • New Mac Pro for Photoshop

    Hi,
    I currently have a 2008 Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 Quad Core Intel Xeon that I am thinking of upgrading.
    My questions are as follows.
    Which set up would be best for photography based work, mainly Photoshops CS6 and Lightroom 4
    I use a Drobo as my main working raid style hard drive.
    I'm happy to spend money on a quality system but want to know it will be optimum for what I am using and dont want to just go for the 'top of the range' if it is pointless for the type of work I am doing (I never use video software at all)
    Would there be a 3rd party company that would be better suited to set it up exactly for photography based work.
    Am I right in saying the current Mac Pro's do not have thunderbolt or USB 3.0, so with that in mind, how long do people speculate that the new Mac Pro's will be available.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jason

    YOU can see what Intel says (said?) at the Intel Conference this fall where they lay out for their vendors and everyonne what they plan and have in the oven for the next year.
    Intel fell behind last year's plans with the complexity and issues they ran into, plus changes in the landscape. So did Nvidia with their new line. Hence everyone's plans went bonkers. And any IvyBridge Xeon? doesn't look like anything until this time next year, end of 2013. 2014 does have the next tic-toc and improved chips and memory architecture. DDR4 may get out of the labs.
    That much is knowable.
    But what you can do today: 2010 6-core 3.33 w/ 4x8GB and GTX 670 plus some nice storage hardware.
    See this guy's articles and advice, a heavy graphics perspective:
    www.macperformanceguide.com
    Oh, and just my own personal.... a lot of 2008 owners are not happy campers for various reasons with power, stabilty, sleep/wake/freezes and maybe that 'first Mac Pro w/ EFI64" is showing crack in seams.
    2010 for $1800 and up to around $3k - and your system is worth over a grand still once you can move over.

  • Possible to re-use G5 serial-ata drives in a new Mac Pro?

    I am getting ready to retire a Power Mac G5 Quad and am wondering whether I can take its two serial-ata internal hard drives and install directly into two of the empty slots I have in a new Mac Pro? Any issues that I should be aware of?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    FWIW and just in case, guide to migrating.

    And the Quad G5 seemed to be the only G5 that could actually use GPT format (probably preparing for transition to the Mac Pro I'd guess). Was also able to use NCQ and some other SATA II (2.5) features and specs.

    Hi Brymer, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You've posted in the Macbook Pro forum by mistake. Below is a link to the Mac Pro forum, where you'll be able to find better assistance than here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=194
    If I had to guess though, I would say that you can definitely take your old drives and physically install them directly into the new Mac Pro, though you won't be able to run the copy of OS X that may be on those drives. You'll have to use the copy of OS X that is included with the Mac Pro, because the two (even if they are the same version) will likely be different. Do post in the other forum though, they will know better than anyone here.
    Good luck!

  • My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

    I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
    At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input.  I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
    The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
    I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy.  I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
    Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
    Nathan.

  • Photoshop CC on a new Mac Pro

    I just bought online and installed Photoshop CC on a new Mac Pro, when I open it, it says that the product is in trial and that it expires in 30 days. Will it really expire or is it going to be set up for a year when the order is processed as it should?
    Thank you,
    Sergio.

    OK, done that, but when I open Ps there's this window:
    Then I try to Join Now and it takes me to this error page:

  • Has anyone had issues with the new Mac Pro computers and the Adobe Application Manager?

    We just purchased a new Mac Pro and transferred everything from the old computer to the new one.  Now we are getting Adobe Application Manager errors and it wants us to download Application Manager.  That leads us to the Adobe Installer that encounters the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.  But that doesn't work either.
    Anyone run into this?

    Yep, half of my tracks are coming up displaying an error -69 ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684 ) and every time I remove a track from the shuffle or update the shuffle, Itunes opens a window displaying the contents of J:\ (obviously the ipod) and hidden folder \iPod_Control.... I'm really irked with this. Been mucking around with the stupid thing for hours now.
    Nothing was wrong with it until it suddenly decided to stop working, it wouldn't play tracks and Itunes wouldn't recognise it, hadn't missed a beat up till now. Sifted through the Support site for an answer and getting told I needed to update Itunes and update the Ipod software, ***?? It was working fine before. Me thinks Apple have inserted software in ipod to force users to update to newer version of Itunes. Anyway, ever since updating to the latest Itunes, the Ipod is back in action, but it is trying to tell me that half of my mp3s are corrupt (see error -69), rofl, um no, it's your stupid software Apple, I'm off to by myself a decent MP3 player without the bloat software.

  • Urgent Issue New Mac Pro (Im going CRAZY)

    I recently purchased a MAC Pro with the following specifications:
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: DUAL 2.26 GHz
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
    Memory: 6 GB
    Graphic Card:
    Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
    and I seem to be getting very slow results in Motion. I have an IMAC with motion and it is able to process and playback faster than on my MAC PRO.
    FCP is a thousand times faster but I am mainly working with Motion.
    Also when I am on the internet and looking at some websites with Flash I notice a slower results with the MAC PRO
    I am guessing my issue here is with the Graphics Card..
    But How WHAT? I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (I know its not super fast but faster than that on my IMAC)
    Is there some type of control of allowing me to use more of the graphics card? I just am wondering if the graphics card is being maximized and if it is what does this mean? I know that I could buy another NIVIDA GeForce GT 120 but will my system be able to use them both. I am using Leopard and I know that the software like motion and even leopard are limited to how much of the graphics card may be used.
    Ahhh
    Please help!!

    First, what versions of FCS/OS are you using on your i-Mac and what versions on your new Mac Pro?
    Second, Motion does not like working with more than one card installed, however, I have two 2400HD cards installed and have no problems with motion (FCS 2). Some believe the two card problem is with Plugs, not Motion. I tend to agree.
    Third, there is a known problem with Flash player in both Macs and PCs. I answered this question yesterday on this dissucussion board. You need to uninstall all traces of Flash player and then reinstall the latest player. The uninstaller, instructions and info about the problem is on the Adobe support page.
    Post back with the info from my first comment and we'll go from there.

  • Photoshop performance on new Mac Pro Nehalem

    If my current comparison is a dual quad core 2.66GHz "old" Mac Pro, and want new "Nehalem" Mac Pro, where Photoshop performs equally.
    Should I get a 2.66 Quad Core Mac Pro (given I accept the 8 GB RAM limit)?
    Should I get a 2.26 Dual Quad Core Mac Pro?
    Where is Adobe going in the optimizations of Photoshop application and filters?
    Will optimizations be done for CS4, CS5, or even later?
    Please show me the path.
    Søren

    Correct
    not acceptable.
    Phil-
    Of course any 4-core Mac Pro with 8 GB RAM and appropriate graphics card will run any version of Photoshop very well, but you miss the point.
    "just buy the most machine you can afford" is actually quite complicated.
    The point is that we have
    multiple Mac Pro computer investment
    choices
    and prices to choose among:
    boxes from 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 with various graphics cards and other architectural parameters to consider when choosing the "best" one for any given workflow and financial situation.
    With 11 Mac Pros (further complicated by confusing graphics cards combinations) it behooves us to quickly remove what may be
    unacceptable investment choices from consideration. The one box of 11 that limits RAM to 8 GB is - IMO - easily identified as "unacceptable" and removed from consideration.
    Moving forward :) as app vendors evolve apps to better utilize available cheap RAM, OS 10.6 and boxes with more RAM access (like all the other Mac Pros ever made) ever-larger amounts of
    cheap RAM will become more useful. E.g. I paid US$450 to upgrade my 2007 Macbook Pro from 2 GB to 3 GB, and it was worth it. Today that much money will put 24 GB in a MP, and RAM prices continue to fall.
    Under OS X Photoshop can already take advantage of at least 32 GB installed RAM. We do not know what 64-bit Mac PS will bring us in a year or so, but odds are pretty high that having lots of RAM available will be very desirable. IMO buying a 4-year-lifecycle pro tower in 2009 that is constrained to 8 GB RAM would be a poor purchase decision.
    All the above comments assume heavy graphics app usage like CS3/4/5.
    -Allen
    P.S.
    We agree about the new Mini. Even with its limited RAM (and consequent shortened life cycle) the low price makes it a viable choice for less than the heaviest graphics work.
    The new Mini IMO is the sleeper of the new Macs. iMacs are hamstrung by their glossy displays intolerable to many (not all) graphics pros but the Minis are not. Running OS 10.6 with FW 800 connectivity, 9400M graphics, 4 GB DDR3 RAM and third-party displays a Mini can now actually drive a desktop Aperture or Photoshop workflow (although obviously not like a 4x-the-price MP would drive such apps) at a very cheap price.

  • New Mac Pro, AMD, Prem Pro CC & GPU Acceleration Issues

    Hi,
    I am not exactly what you would call an expert at Adobe Premiere Pro but I have been struggling to make a few exports over the last few days and yesterday discovered that the issue was about Premiere Pro not playing nicely with the AMD FirePro D500 installed.
    With GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) turned on I get strobing and all sorts of glitchiness. Once it is turned off, everything works fine. The exports seems to take more than twice as long but they are perfect.
    I have found very little about this online and nothing identically matched my experience.
    Has anyone else had this? Have you found a work around?
    Machine is nMP 3.5 Ghz 6-Core 64GB RAM with AMD FirePro D500.

    Pr has been perfect on my new Mac Pro (D700s, but that shouldn't matter).  Are you exporting direct from Pr or queuing to AME?  If one, can you try the other and see if the same thing happens?
    What are you exporting to?
    Is OS X all up to date, I assume?  And you're running the latest version of Pr CC?

  • New Mac Pro major issue's with Premiere CC 14

    I bought the latest Mac Pro with top spec but it runs like a pig with Premiere cc 14, Adobe's video shows the Mac works perfectly. However mine takes forever to render, and has a jerky image on full quality playback with some clips, tried multiple setting, also been on the forum about open cl and open gl and other forums saying it's a mac issue and other saying it's adobe issue
    Has anyone got a solution.
    Would Adobe like to comment on the issues with the new Mac Pro's

    I add to Jason's response with this: If you are having any suspicious behavior with Premiere Pro CC 2014 running OS X 10.9.4, please update your permissions to Read/Write first. Your permissions may be set to Read Only (this happens when you update, rather than clean install OS X).

  • New Mac Pro / Premiere Pro CC / Open CL - Known issue??

    Hi all
    I've been using Premiere Pro CC on a new Mac Pro since it was delivered in January.  After some initial teething issues and system crashes everything was running VERY nicely until the last update (build 33) but since then I have been encountering all kinds of issues.
    PP is now constantly freezing and crashing not only the software itself but the entire system requiring a reboot.  Whenever I need to render I get all kinds of weird and wonderful glitches in the images and I've had to turn off GPU accel through Open CL just to get the system workable again.
    So my question - are these known issues with build 33 or is something else going on??
    Another issue unrelated to Open CL (i think) is that XML import / export now appears to be bugged to the point of being unusable.  Very very frustrating!

    Hi simonspear,
    Please check the forum discussion which states the same issue. Hope it helps.
    Render & Export Glitching

    Vinay

  • Premiere Pro CC & New Mac Pro - Audio Line Out Issue

    I'm having a few issues with the audio line out on the new Mac Pro. For some reason, Line Out locks into Premiere Pro. When I switch programs, the audio line out device stays locked to Premiere Pro and the only way to get other programs to be able to output audio when Premiere Pro is not current application, is to go into System Preferences > Sound and click onto an alternative output and then click back onto Line Out.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Thanks.
