New Mac Pro Won't see MBox

While I know that Digidesign does not support Leopard. I have been using my MBox for sound in and out using the program Amadeus. This works fine on iMac and Mac G5 and Powerbook G4. (all running Leopard).
The sound preferences panel and the MIDI setup on my Mac Pro do not even see my MBox when it is plugged into a USB port.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks

My bran new Mac Pro, won't recognize my external hard drive?

Hello,
I just got the new mac pro about a month ago (the cylindrical kind) it has 16 MGs of ram and 250 GBs. I got a 2 TB external hard drive for time machine, and i already have a 500 GB portable hard drive for transferring files. They worked fine initially, but the computer has stopped seeing them all together. I've already restarted my computer several times. I plug them in, they light up, but the icon doesn't appear on the desktop or finder or even in disk utility. I've tested my portable drive on my laptop and it works fine, so its not the external hard drive or the cords. I also tested a flash drive and an external CD drive in the USB ports and they work fine, so i've deduced that its not a hardware issue. The best i can come up with is that its a softwear issue, but i have no idea how that would even work. Has anyone else heard of this?
On a side note: before the computer stopped reading my hard drives, they kept unplugging themselves and saying "this hard drive was not removed properly" and then they would reappear without me touching them. I'm pretty sure this is the root of the problem. I'm out of ideas and google hasn't revealed anything to me, so if anyone knows whats going on i would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Neither hard drive is working on the mac pro. They do not appear in disk utility.
My chords seem fine. I don't have another cable to try on the Mac Pro. but both cables worked on my 2011 macbook pro with my external hard drive. my 2TB didn't work on my macbook pro however... it didn't even appear in disk utility. I wonder though if that has to do with the usb 3. I know my laptop has USB 2 and my external hard drive is USB 3 and i'm not sure if its backwards compatible.
I have tried all of the USB ports on the Mac Pro, the hard wear seems fine.
I will try resetting the SMC shortly and see if that works.

New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

Hi,
Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
Thanks for any info...

Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
Thanks again,
Jacki

New Mac Pro won't stay asleep

Hi everyone. I took delivery of my new Mac Pro a few days ago. It's the highest spec model (12 core, 64gb memory, 2 x 6gb graphics and 1TB SSD). It's connected to two 30" screens and networked to a Windows storage server.
The problem I have is that it won't stay asleep. Basically after being asleep for a couple of minutes the screens suddenly come back on and the login window appears as though somebody has pressed a key. After a minute or so it goes back to sleep and then it wakes up again and continues in a cycle.
I have tried making sure all programs are closed and nothing is running at all but it still happens.
I just wonder if anyone else has had this issue or might know a solution?

Okay thanks for all the help guys, I've discovered what the problem is but not how to fix it.
I unplugged everything but the bare minimum and the computer stayed asleep just fine. I then plugged everything in one thing at a time and tested. The culprit was one of my screens! I have an NEC Spectraview Reference 301 screen. It worked just fine on my old Mac Pro but when this screen is powered up the new Mac Pro will not stay asleep for more than 1 minute. My other screen is an Apple Cinema display and this works just fine on its own.
The solution for now is that I have to remember to hit the power button on the NEC screen before I leave the computer. This is fine but I'd love to find out what's causing this issue so I don't have to remember every time! I'm thinking maybe the NEC has some built in power settings so I'm going to fiddle with them now. If anyone else has any further ideas I'd love to hear them!

New Mac Pro Won't play back

I'm having a problem with my new Mac Pro 2.66 I keep getting the error, "couldn't keep up". I've got maybe 5 tracks (Kontakt 2,Real Guitar, and EXS) and a couple plug ins and I can't get it to play. I press the space bar and it spins for a sec...plays maybe 1 second and then quits...pops up with the message saying it couldnt access info fast enough. I had my samples on a different computer networked via gigabit but some said that was the problem so I transfered them to a seperate internal (sata 2) drive and it still doesn't work. My CPU is either very low or it maxes out 2 or 3 of the cores before the freeze. I can't believe this is happening with this machine. This is why I got a new one. anyways...thanks for all suggestions.

Same problems here without any Native Instruments plugs.
4 tracks at the same time (2 audio and 2 nexus((or any other instruments))
apple says: we don´t now about this problem and because my 90 day!!! support is finish I have to pay 208EUR and than they help me.
On my old PC with Logic 5.51 have I no problems.
I must press play on the mac again and again and than Logic
plays.
Same problem with the original mac pro HD or a second HD.
sorry for my bad english,but no german support here!
If you speak german here a link with lot of people with the same problem:

BRAND NEW Mac Pro won't boot from Leopard DVD, kernel panics!

I just received my brand new Mac Pro today. It's a BTO machine with the upgrade to the NVIDIA 8800GT, a second optical drive and a Mac OS X Server license. The system has Mac OS X server installed on the default 320GB drive. I decided to use the server license as a virtual machine running in Leopard client. So, I installed 2 new 500GB Seagate 7200.11 (Retail) drives in the machine, zeroed them out in prep for installing Leopard client.
At this point, I pop in a freshly-purchased retail copy of the Leopard DVD and restart. When I try to boot from the DVD and install Leopard to one of the new Seagate drives, I get kernel panics - need to restart the machine. Also tried booting from the Mac OS X Server DVD and this too only caused kernel panics. The DVD's read perfectly from within Mac OS X Server and boot from hard disks is flawless.
I spent an hour on the phone with a level 2 tech at Apple - Tried swapping out the RAM and moving around the DIMMS to no avail. I am at a loss to what this could be. Seems to be a hardware issue and the tech thought it was likely a problem with one of the memory risers but couldn't send replacements. Anyone else with a similar issue?
This is my first Mac and it looks like this Mac Pro is going back for an exchange and I'll have to wait yet another 10-12 days for a replacement to arrive. Bummer.
Am I missing something simple here? Does this seem to be a hardware issue?
If anyone has any ideas before I ship this one back, please write!!!

New Mac Pros will not install the Leopard retail disc. They will only install the Leopard disc which shipped with them labeled Mac Pro. That has always been true. Macs can only boot the system that ships on DVD in the box that came with them, and newer retail releases. They can never boot from an older retail release than what shipped in the box.

New Mac Pro - won't boot up with SSD drives attached

I have a new Mac Pro. It came with the stock 1TB HD. I installed two OWC SSD drives in the two optical drive bays. I booted up and the MacPro saw the two new drives. I set up the two new drives into a RAID0 setup with Disk Utility which worked fine. Then I cloned the 'Macintosh HD' drive so that I could use the two new SSDs as my boot drive.
When I removed the stock 1TB drive the machine will not boot up. I am stuck on the gray startup screen and it never even makes it to the Apple logo.
Even worse, when I reconnect the stock 1TB drive the machine will still not boot up if either or both of the SSD drives are connected. When I remove the SSD drives the machine boots fine.
Very weird - must be some weird RAID stuff going on.
Any ideas?
David

Hi dschamis
Just out of interest, what application did you use to clone from your HDD to the OWC SSD?
I had the same problem, but I was using only one SSD, when I cloned from a VelociRaptor 300GB HDD to an OCZ Agility EX SSD in December 2009.
The SSD "bricked", and when I contacted OCZ they told me that they did not recommend cloning from a HDD to a SSD. In fact they definitely advised against doing so.
I had used SuperDuper to clone from the HDD to the SSD.
When I received the replacement SSD ( OCZ sent me their top of their range Vertex EX), I didn't take any chances, and I did a clean install of the Mac OS and all my applications.
Everything was 100% OK, and I have not had a single problem with the SSD since then, but I never clone to it or from it. I just use Time Machine to back up to a WD My Book SE II 2T external drive, but I do have the original 640GB Apple (WD) HDD as a backup/emergency system boot drive in an external enclosure.
I have just ordered, and received, an OWC MercuryExtreme Pro RE SSD, which I will be using as my system boot drive solely for my photography related applications, and I will use the Vertex EX for the remainder of my applications.
However, I am not even going to risk using SuperDuper to clone the OS or any of the applications from the Vertex EX to the OWC SSD, although OCZ said it was OK to clone from SSD to SSD, and I will do a clean install of the Mac OS and the photography related applications on the Mercury Extreme Pro RE SSD.
Hope all goes well when you receive your replacement SSD.
If in doubt do a clean install of the Mac OS!
Regards,
Bill

New Mac Pros won't connect to the first startup volume

I have five new Mac Pros running 10.4.8; I set a couple network volumes as startup items which has always worked fine before. But on these new machines, no matter what the first startup volume is, it gives me this error:
Connection failed
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
Then goes on to connec to the next volume fine. We have a Win2K Server and a Win2003 Server, and it acts the same way with both of them. It seems like something on the Mac must be timing out too fast. I have checked the logs and they don't help me at all. I have repaired permissions, run FSCK, done all the periodic maintenance and safe-booted but none of it has helped. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks!

Though this TIL says 10.3.9 or earlier, I find this might apply...
"Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications" option in Network preferences can sometimes cause this issue. "
As well as a few other possibilities...

HELP. Safari on my new Mac Pro won't open my own webpage.

I have just changed platforms from PC to Apple Mac with the sole purpose of generating new content for my web page www.austin-thomas.co.uk
Unfortunately, I cannot open my own web page using Safari on my Mac Pro running Leopard, although I can access other web sites without problems. I have tried my web site on several other Macs running Safari and Leopard and it loads as normal. I still have my PC linked though the same router as the Mac Pro and I can access the site OK via Windows Internet Explorer, so I don't believe it is a router or a permissions problem.
Any help or suggestions is gratefully appreciated as I have a new and expensive computer that for some strange reason is not compatible with my website.
Many thanks in advance,
Austin

It sounds like it's just timing out trying to access parts of the website.
Can you try changing your DNS settings to those provided by [OpenDNS|https://www.opendns.com/start] to see if that makes a difference? The linked website has easy to follow directions.
I've seen the occasional post that also mentions power cycling the router sometimes helps (even when their other connected computers were behaving fine - don't ask me how that works... )

Mac Pro won't see FW400 devices!

I recently purchased my Mac Pro, brand new. I knew it wouldn't come with any FW400 connections, but all indications pointed to there being no trouble whatsoever if I just got my hands on a FW800 to FW400 adapter.
The main device I want for use with this adapter is my audio I/O box, the M-Audio FW410. It's old, but it has always worked with my previous mac (1.67Ghz G4 Powerbook) and never gave me any problems.
I had this cable from before:
http://www.radtech.us/Products/ProCableFW400800.aspx
It worked well, in the past, but not when I tried it with the audio box. Since it is so short, I opted to get another adapter when I saw it wasn't working so that I could use my longer, nicer FW400 cable. I bought this adapter to that end:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JH3TW8
The same problem persists.
I've tried my other FW400 peripherals, and the computer can't see them with either cable setup in any of the ports. What the ****?
Is there something about this FW bus that doesn't work with these peripherals? Someone please tell me there's a chance I'm just "doing it wrong..."

Glad to hear further verification that this should be working. Seeing as apple sells the Moshi cable at their store,
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW748LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
then you would think that there wouldn't be any problems.
Let me add some further info. The FW410 audio I/O box will start up, but then the power light flashes, like it doesn't get enough power. I've tried my old external DVD drive with the cable setup, and it will spin up, but never officially mount. It already has a disk in it, so the volume should show up right away.
System Profiler doesn't see any peripherals attached. The best I've been able to get out of that app was the message, "Warning: System Profiler is unable to detect firewire devices." Now all it does is list, "Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec," without that error message.
I don't want to drag this honker into the genius bar to have them troubleshoot it, and then have to ship it out. I can't afford any down days b/c I work most evenings and weekends on this machine.
Before I take it in and perhaps waste valuable days being without it, does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

New Mac mini won't see old Apple Keyboard/Mouse

Just got a brand new macmini, got my apple display plugged into it and working, turned it on. It recognized my apple wireless mouse for a couple clicks, then when I got the screen to enter in the serial number, it wouldn't recognize my keyboard. And now it doesn't recognize the mouse either.
I brought home a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo from work and was able to setup the server that way, but it still won't recognize my Apple brand keyboard/mouse that worked fine on my old PowerBook. I've rebooted several times.
Any ideas?

Hello mc:
The devices, if paired with another system, need to be deleted from the Bluetooth preferences (you need to disconnect them in the BT preference pane and then delete them). Then a restart should begin the connect/pair sequence.
BT devices may only paired with one system at a time.

Take 45s to boot a brand new Mac Pro

Hi Mac Pro folks
I just got a brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. It came with a 512MB SSD as the boot disk and a 2TB disk as the second drive. What I got confused is: after powering it on, the Mac Pro takes average 45s to boot to the white screen with an Apple logo.
This is actually the second Mac Pro, the previous one having the same configuration took 30 seconds to boot. As the previous one's second drive got clicking sound from the first day, Apple replaced the whole machine. Now the clicking sound has gone, but the second Mac Pro takes an even longer time to boot from SSD.
Is it normal? Has anyone ever experienced the same thing?
Thanks for any comments.
Regards,
B

This is a Mac Pro 5,1 so I would expect it should take less than 10 seconds to boot.
Moreover, the SSD is the only startup device under Startup Disk.

No it should take 10 seconds. That is what my SSD on Mac Pro 1,1.
PCIe cards can affect booting, especially if you boot from one.
3rd party SSD or not? \
firmware is current?
SSD is set to default startup disk control panel?
You've done ML Recovery and checked the SSD twice: the top of the drive to check partitions, the user volume to check the system directory.
If it is 3rd party what make?
Does it show TRIM is enabled in SATA entry in System Profile?
What else is installed.
Does not sound normal to me to replace anything except the hard drive for clicking, and then to just zero the drive.
I would never pay for disk drive from Apple when there are better prices and as good devices.

Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
1. Is this true?; and
2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
1TB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading. I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

HDCP in the new Mac Pro - not allowed to watch my paid for TV shows?

My new Mac Pro won't let me play back my iTunes TV Shows as my 30" Cinema Display doesn't support HDCP. iTunes' suggestion of just connecting a HDCP compliant monitor isn't even funny: Don't have one, not getting one. Is this a bug, and if so, is there any way around it? Or is Apple trying to increase their 24" sales by denying people access to their already paid for content?

Thimic
It's not your computer.
I also have a new MacPro and it also will not play my library of HD movies and TV. The only solution I received from Apple was to change the default play HD to SD which defeats the purpose.
What is annoying is that Apple puts no warnings on iTunes or none that I can find.
That they could not tell me if any Apple display or other make would enable me to watch HD
So I am compelled to use my credit card to reclaim all the HD purchases and if the MacPro cannot produce HD content then I I'll use them to seek recompense.
I love Apple products but I do not like the lazy or arrogant get lost behavior. Finding a solution should be on the iTunes site.
And there's should be clear information on Apple displays... which there is not... and Apple Stores simply do not know. Back to 1997 "Never heard of that sir!"
My HP Blackbird plays HD.
Thimic good luck.

After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

Hi rustyg12,
Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
Fire up DW. See if it works.
