New Mac Pro and iMac as Display – Several Crashes

Hello,
I am using a new Mac Pro (late 2013, 3.5 6C) and are really happy with it. But I have one problem …
Currently I am using an iMac 27" as a display via Apple Thunderbolt cable (original cable from Apple).
But when I switch my displays via cmd+f2, my mac pro sometimes crashes. So I can switch back to my iMac always, without issues. But sometimes, when I want to switch back to my running Mac Pro (no screensaver etc.), I cannot switch back and the Mac Pro simply reboots.
Any ideas what to do? I've sent a bug report to Apple already …

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • New Mac Pro and LED cinema display

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but none of the topics answered my question specifically enough.
    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?

    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro
    Yes. All the standard cards that come in the Mac Pro have one Mini DisplayPort. The 24"LED display will plug into that.
    and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?
    It is not used if you don't have a MacBook.

  • New Mac Pro and Apple Cinema Display

    Warning, for those of you upgrading to the new Mac Pro and you plan on using your old Cinema Display, you will not get the maximum resolution out of the display. In fact, you only get 1650 x 800--which of course is way under utilizing install resources and on top of that not a great picture. Even using recommended set up (mini display to DVI adaptor) does not help. You need a Thunderbolt Display for best video performance. Unless someone out there knows a way to do this--be prepared also to buy a new display.

    Turbostar, it is the Apple 30 inch cinema display. Yes it works but the max resolution is 1650 X 800 which while acceptable does not get me 2560 x 1600 which my D500 GBUs would deliver. The new Pro is optimized for a Thunderbolt display, I am using the correct  connection protocols as recommended by Apple on their web page for this system. There is a specific note in Apple support noted that Cinema displays will only  provide xxxx resolution on the new Mac Pro's. Corsair.

  • Can a genuine Apple European cord for the new Mac Pro and the Thunderbolt display be ordered from Apple?

    The title says it all. When I move to Europe I know I can use adapter plugs, but I would feel more secure, considering the cost of my Apple equipment, using Apple European power cords.
    So, is it possible to order these parts from Apple?

    The computer-end will be a fairly standard IEC-13 plug:

  • If I buy the Mac pro and iMac combine it together would it be faster?

    If I buy the Mac pro and iMac combine it together would it be faster or I just buy the mac pro and Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

    If you buy a Mac Pro 2013, use the iMac for casual stuff and use the Mac Pro for media creation work.
    Maxed out iMac with 4-core 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD PCIe is nice.
    Mac Pro with 6-core 64GB dual graphics for $1000 more might run rings around it.
    Why not look them both up on Geekbench.
    Some people really need and like having two systems, maybe laptop (Air) and a more powerful system.

  • My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video camera (Canon GL2) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

    My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

  • I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar.  What can I do to get this?

    I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar.  How can I get this?

    The scroll bar is now set to appear automatically when you start scrolling with a trackpad or scroll wheel mouse. If you are using an mouse without a scrolling device, you should change a setting.
    In System Preferences, click General, and in the Show Scroll Bars section, click the option for how you want it to work. If you want to see them all the time click "Always."

    Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it.  It keeps telling me I have the wrong password.  I want to start over and I can't even get back in to do this bc it won't take any of my passwords.  How can I start over completely?

    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
    Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?

  • New Mac Pro and now no FLV Export option in FCP

    Hi Folks,
    I have a new MAc PRo and just loaded final cut studio 2 and flash 8 onto it.. I know have no option in the quicktime conversion setting to export to FLV?
    Please any help would be huge at this point...
    Oh.. I loaded After Effects 7 to the new Mac PRo and I get the Export to FLV option from AE so what is the deal?

    Hi Todd, I bet you upgraded from a PPC machine.
    The real problem here is that Flash 8 is/was not a universal binary (i.e. an app that is supported on both the PPC and the Intel Macs).
    So the included "FLV Exporter" QuickTime component does not show up in the export dialog even if it's installed as it just does not get loaded.
    (Should be in "NameOfSystemHD/Library/QuickTime").
    If you update to Flash 9/CS3 you get a universal binary app and QT exporter component and it will work again on your (Intel) Mac Pro.
    Btw., the Flash support that was in QuickTime had nothing to do with export - especially not with FLV - but with playback of Flash content.
    Addionally, AE 7 isn't a universal binary either, so you will suffer some pretty serious performance losses.
    Best regards, Oliver

  • I bought a new Mac Pro and migrated my FCP from my old one. But the new old won't accept my product serial number. Help!

    I bought a new Mac Pro and migrated my FCP from my old one. But the new old won't accept my product serial number. Help!

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
    Hope this helps.

  • New Mac Pro vs iMac

    I am buying a new desktop for photo and video editing. I am trying to decide between the new Mac Pro coming out in Dec or a maxed out 27 inch iMac. If I go with the Mac Pro I will have to buy a TB display so I'm looking at about $1000 more for a base Mac Pro vs a top of the line iMac. I just need to know if I will be able to tell that much of a difference.

    I too do a lot of video editing, and after a year in **** with a slow PC and PowerDirector, FCPX was looking pretty good. All I had to do was build an Apple PC around it.
    I'd been away from Apple for a number of years and thought I'd have to ante up for a Mac Pro. That bothered me because I'm just not a pro editor and never will be. For the kind of work I do, personal video biographies, the basic editing processes are all I will ask of my system.
    So I was delighted to discover the current-generation 27" iMac, a fantastic all-round PC, could be souped up to prosumer level as a video workstation. On Black Friday I ordered my dream machine: i7, 32GB, 3TB Fusion, GTX 780M video. And for good measure I added an AirPort Extreme router to extract maximum throughput from my WiFi network, and an external Panasonic Blu-Ray burner (listed on Amazon as "Aluminum External USB Blu-Ray Writer SuperDrive for Apple" and priced at $104) that also burns DVDs and even CDs. (FCPX supports this drive, even though Apple has abandoned optical media.)
    I'm still deep in the learning curve but already know this PC doesn't break a sweat doing transcoding and analysis of some pretty hefty clips. Video editing, previously a chore, is now for me an enjoyably creative process. Once I get a few vids under my belt, I expect the hardware and software to "disappear" and it will be just me and the content as I spin various elements into a narrative that presents its subject from several perspectives.
