No iphoto on my new macpro!

I bought my new macpro last week, and have just realised there's no iphoto. I'm sure there's supposed to be, but it's not there!!
Any ideas?

or can I just pull iphoto off the disc
Yes. You may be given the option to perform a custom install of iPhoto; if not, use Pacifist to extract it.

Iphoto library seems to slow down my new MacPro.

so far no one at at the Apple store can have a solution why the new MacPro is RATHER slow.
some did suggest that the iphoto library MAY BE too big...
also, when I work with it ..( it contains over `12000 items) ..it machine works hard and slow.
who can help ?
establish another library ?
safe the pics on an external harddrive ?
appreciate your ideas and help,
heinz

Open the Activity Monitor when iPhoto is slowing down your Mac and see what processes is soaking up all the CPU cycles. Also check the Console for messages during that time. It can also give info as to what's slowing things down.
Do you have any anti virus software installed or have used MacKeeper, CleanMyMac or similar type of software on your Mac?

Iphoto albums to new mac from old

I have already moved my entire iphoto library to my new macpro from my old ibook. but for some reason none of the albums came with it. Is there a way to get the albums over to the new after I have already moved the library?
Thanks

How did you do the move? The correct way is to copy the entire iPhoto Library folder, as an entity, to the new computer. When iPhoto opens the library it should be in exactly the same condition as before you moved it. If you didn't do it this way and you still have the library on the ibook then I suggest you start over.
Was the ibook library also running iPhoto 6? If so, you could try copying the database file "Library6.iPhoto" from the old library into the new library on the macpro, allowing it to overwrite the existing file there. This will only work if the library structure is identical to the old library.
If the iPhoto library on the ibook was having problems before you copied it, then it's possible the database was already damaged. This would explain why it didn't copy over properly, even if you followed correct procedure. If that is the case, rebuild the library on the ibook. [Hold Option and Command as you launch iPhoto. Select the first 3 options in the dialog, then rebuild.] If the rebuild is successful and the library is in good shape, then copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the macpro again.
Regards.

How to use iPod to transfer iPhoto Library to new computer

Well, I have been trying for a few days to move my iPhoto Library to my new Mac Pro.
Having trouble in Target Mode so thought it'd be easy to use my iPod for the transfer...
So, I synced all my photos onto my iPod...checked and all 6100 photos are there...
Now, when I hook up my iPod to my new MacPro and access my iPod, I see various folders including one names "Photos". So far so good...
I copied this "Photos" folder onto my new computer's desktop...
Now what do I do with it??? I tried dragging it into my iPhoto Library folder, but none of the pictures show up in iPhoto..
thanks-

When the iPod is in disk mode, click on the folder in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, followed by Pictures, and then drag the folder named iPhoto Library to the iPod. On the other computer, drag the folder back, renaming the existing library folder if needed; don't change anything inside the folder.

I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success.

I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success. Do I have to use iCloud for 800 vacation photos or re-enter all the data after transfer?

There is no support for mirroring or syncing iPhoto libraries or Aperture libraries. You can however export partial Aperture libraries on one mac and merge them into other libraries on a second Mac.
To transfer your edited photos open your photolibrary in Aperture and and collect the edited photos in an album. Then select the album and use the command "File export > Album as new library". This will export all edited photos as a new Aperture library. Copy this library to your other Mac and import it with "File < Import > Library to your other photolibrary on that computer (assuming you are having the same Aperture version on both macs). When merging the new library into your Aperture library, opt to keep the newer versions from the imported library. iPhoto 9.5.1 will be able to open these merged Aperture 3.5.1 libraries.

New MacPro -(dual) ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT vs NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

Greetings all,
This is my first post to the Apple Discussions in general...so pardon if I missed something earlier posted.
I am strongly considering getting one of the new MacPros (specifically the dual 2.8 quad, 2 GB RAM, 1 350 or 500GB HDD). I am caught with a dilemma regarding waiting for the 8800 or going with the dual 2600 config.
I would prefer not to wait the 3-5 weeks for the 8800 but would be willing to if having 2 2600s isn't much of a performance boost compared to the 8800.
This is how I mainly plan to use my new system (assuming basic day to day usage e-mail web browsing, general mac usage, etc).
-Dual boot (Mac OS and Vista Ultimate)
-Mac side usage would range from iPhoto/iMovie/DVD authoring to playing the latest Mac games
-PC side are primarily gaming (Halo 2, Lord of the Rings Online, etc) and Media Center
Does anyone have input with the above said scenario or any other general compatibility issues with how I plan to use the system? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi!
tomorrow i'll order my new mac pro and got a similar question regarding these 2 cards.
i wanna buy 2x24" tft's too, not sure which one but i'll be some of the "cheap low-tec" ones ( ) like the new dell E248WFP, samsung 245B, lg L246WH or iilyama B2403WS
i know that the dell & samsung "only" tn panels so i'm not sure, if it make sense for me to wait or buy the 8800 later.
the 90% usage is audio with logic and some digital lifestyle things. the other 10% it could be that i install the dark side os on an external drive but only to play some games (if the future 24" tft let me ). i don't know which games i'll pay, in the past it was just the strategy multiplayer shooter from tom clancy, like ghost recon and rainbow six (the native mac versions). but i've seen that there ar e some new one out but only for pc.
so what's your advice for me? does make any difference to alternative order 2 2600's, each for one of the 24"?
thx alot and best regards

Mail rules not copied to new MacPro via iCloud

Hi All,
I have a new MacPro that is replacing an older MacPro that was running Mavericks 10.9.5. I also have a Macbook Air running Mavericks 10.9.5.
For a host of reasons, I decided not to simply use Migration Assistant on this new MacPro, but to copy individual plist files for apps such as Mail. The two plists that I was interested in recreating on this new setup were the MessageRules plist and the SmartFolders plist. Interestingly these two kinds of preferences seem to be shared across MacOS devices via iCloud.
However, in both instances (iCloud syncing or manually copying over the old plist file), I cannot get my install of Apple Mail to read the plists. Nor are the shared preferences shared with this computer. Apple tech support was not much help saying their hands are tied because of Apple Engineering. Never heard that one before.
Thanks in advance to whomever can spare me from having to manually recreate a hundred or so rules and 20 or so smart mailboxes.

The messages coming to mail app. on my iMac & macbook pro were not showing up on my 5 devices if the sender had a "move to" a folder command on the 'rules' in Mail 'Preferences'.
After trying every suggestion I could find on this forum in addition to some of my own, I realized the only thing that worked was my changing the "move to" command to "copy to" command. This work around resulted in duplicating all the emails, one in the "inbox" and the "copied" one to it's proper folder ! When I proceeded to delete the emails from the "inbox" as I had set up the "copy to" rule and they were all in their proper folders. I came across another change to the mail system after iOS 8.1 ; if one deletes the emails in the "inbox" on the mac they get deleted across the board from all your devices and vice versa !! I was on telephone with Apple "Senior" techs for 2 frustrating days and eventually they said there is nothing they can do, it had been changed by the "Engineers", something to do with changing "pop" to "imap" protocol. Now I have to put up with all my email being in the inbox with no option to organize them or delete them if I want them to appear on my devices. This is outrageous !!

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
TIA,
Jerry

Thanks, Martin.
Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
Thanks again,

Acrylic 20" Cinema Display with new MacPro

As I read the posts here, to use the old cinema display with an ADC connector I will need to buy Apple DVI to ADC adapter to connect my 20" cinema display with ADC to the new MacPro?
This new DVI to ADC adapter provides power for the cinema display as I understand which is why it's so expensive whereas when cinema display was connected to my Powermac G5 the power came thru the ADC connection?
Is this correct?

HT1338 i have a new macpro. I am trying to install Office 2010 Professional CD but it doesn't open ... or if it does I do no know where to find it or how to begin the install process.

I have a new MacPro. I am trying to install a Office 2010 Professional cd. After I insert CD nothing happens. I hear the hard drive run for a couple of seconds, but still nothing happens. I am used to using a Dell notebook and the control panel in Windows is great. How do I get cd to install ? What steps do I need to follow to install ?

I am trying to install flash player on my new Macpro hardrive. It is downloaded but I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. Help please!

I am trying to install my downloaded flash player on my new MacPro hard drive. I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. I know they are not wrong and have tried a lot of combinations from old Macs and old passwords too. Nothing works. How can I get the job done?

Hi,
On Mac, this password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software which can harm your system. Flash Player does not throw this prompt, Apple does that.
Please provide machine credentials of currently logged in User to continue with the installation.
Hope this helps.

Existing Windows network and a new MacPro?

I am currently running a home network as follows:
2 ea. Dell PCs running XP Pro, ethernet wire connected to a LinkSys cable modem/router, connected to Comcast for internet access. I also have an HP color laserjet 3500 printer hardwire connected to the LinkSys as part of the network. I have external hard drives on each PC connected to USB ports on the PCs but made available for accessing to either PC for storage and/or retrieval. I run MS Office 2003 on each PC and use Outlook for my email on each PC.
I am contemplating replacing the older PC with a new MacPro and have the following questions:
1. Will I simply remove the old PC from the network and connect (ethernet cable) the new MacPro to the LinkSys cable modem/router? Will I have internet access at this point oon my new MacPro or will I have to do something else (configure the MacPro or whatever) to gain this internet access?
2. Will the new MacPro see the networked HP printer and will I be able to print to that printer thru the network from my MacPro? Any special software needed on my MacPro to print to that printer?
3. I assume that it is possible to physically connect my current external hard drives to the new MacPro thru a USB connection, but will the MacPro see the files on these ext drives and can I access them?
4. I plan on installing MS Office on the MacPro. If I create a file (Word, Xcel or PowerPoint document) and email it to a non-believer (PC-user) will they be able to open and use the file, assuming they are running MS Office 2003 on their PC?
5. I understand that I can install up to four hard drives on the MacPro, all internal. Is there any advantage to using two internal hard drives to provide back up capability as opposed to using one internal hard drive and then buying a separate external MacPro compatible hard drive for my backup? That is - should I go with two internal hard drives or one internal and one external - thinking that if something bad powerwise should happen to the MacPro maybe the ext hard drive would have been spared. (I do have surge protectors on all of my equipment.) I assume that I would NOT be able to access files from the Mac ext hard drive from my other PC. Is that a good assumption?
6. I understand that I can download BootCamp and run Windows programs on my MacPro. Can I run BootCamp and MacOS concurrently? Can I run BootCamp and MS Office for Windows on my MacPro, prepare a PowerPoint presentation, store it on my MacPro hard drive, then run Mac OS X, PowerPoint (MS Office for the Mac) and open the recently created PowerPoint file that I had created under BootCamp, MS Office for Windows? Can I go back and forth between the two operating systems creating files, opening and storing them? Or is this all a moot point in that any MS Office for Mac file creeated on the MacPro will be fully compatible with any PC system should I email them the file and I don't even have to worry about BootCamp?
7. I understand that Apple will release their new operating system, Leopard, next spring 2007. Should I wait to buy a MacPro until that new OS is on the market? If I did buy the MacPro now, is it a big deal to upgrade the MacPro to new OS?
Thanx in advance for any advice you can give me.

1. Should work as soon as you plug in the network cable.
2 Just install the drivers and setup the printer
3. Yes. Macs can connect to Windows file shares.
4. Yes. Office files are Office files, no matter the platform.
5. "I assume that I would NOT be able to access files from the Mac ext hard drive from my other PC."
Use SharePoints fro hornware.com to share the drives to your PC.
"That is - should I go with two internal hard drives or one internal and one external"
How you want to configure your backup scheme is up to you, as your computing needs are different than ours. Internal drives are cheaper, while external drives are portable.
6. "Can I run BootCamp and MacOS concurrently? "
No. If you want to run Windows and OS X at the same time, use Parallels.
"Or is this all a moot point in that any MS Office for Mac file creeated on the MacPro will be fully compatible with any PC system"
Yes.
7. "Should I wait to buy a MacPro until that new OS is on the market?"
Your call. We can't make that decision for you.
"is it a big deal to upgrade the MacPro to new OS?"
No.

Can an early 2008 MacPro be reconfigured as an effective video server for 2 27" 2013 iMacs plus a New MACPRO (to be released) and how would be the best way to do it.

We are a small eiting studio with an early 2008 MacPro (maxed out on ram) with a 4 Port SATA card, 2 27" 2013 iMac's, and we will be purchasing a new MACPRO once they're released. We work with Final Cut X primarily and would like to create a server solution to share media assets between the computers as well as insure our media assets are protected. Ultimately we see us moving toward an LTO tape backup solution for projects and we currently use the Acera 8 slot 32tb Raid for media storage. We use .DMG's to organize projects and we've had success networking the MacPro to one of the 27" iMac's and we can effectively mount projects off of the RAID on to both computers as long as the .DMG for that project isn't mounted on both computers. However we can really only run background processing (like rendering or inputing video) we can't really edit as it appears even with a CAT6 capabled connecting the two still isn't enough to be able to edit.
Ideally when the new macpro comes out we would like to explore the ability of turning the 2008 MacPro into our server and buy an attached storage solution but I'm unsure if this will work, what we would need to do to make it work efficiently (read fast), and what my limitations might be. Is it as easy as installing a new PCI 4port 1gigE card in the back and connecting our 2 27" Imacs and the to be purchased new MACPRO to that and insalling OS X Server?
Most of our projects are recurring and ongoing and require us to share our extensive library of live performances as well as insure its availibilty all the time without having to install the RAID set associated with those projects. We have about 80tb's of video we'd like to keep accessible.
Any help is appreciated and I would be glad to fill in any blanks if I left any.
Lastly, I might add that I'm not a fan of onebox solutions from the vendors, I believe that Apple has the products I need to do what I'm talking about and most 3rd party one-box solutions end up out-moded with in years of purchase.
Thanks,

Gigabit Ethernet can be limiting for large file transfers, which usually segues into either 10 GbE NICs and/or (less desirably) link aggregation and/or an Xsan configuration with Fibre Channel SAN storage, if you really needed the I/O speed and scale.
If you're serving large volumes of data and it's the the server-to-host Gigabit Ethernet link that is the limit (as differentiated from the RAID array or related I/O link as the bottleneck), then you're left to either or both 10 GbE NICs and FC HBAs, whether via Thunderbolt HBA adapter or via FC HBA in a PCIe slot. (Thunderbolt is not an option on any current Mac Pro or Mac Pro Server I'm aware of. That'd be PCIe. Conversely, recent iMac systems have Thunderbolt and no PCIe. And there's no Thunderbolt to 10 GbE NIC listed by Apple.)
Discussions of the new Mac Pro are premature, beyond the information Apple has posted. (But I'd probably also wait a month or three after release of any new hardware and software, in any event.)

Can anyone help?? Another new MacPro thread....

Hi all.
Another person here having big issues with PP CC 2014 on the new MacPro..
A little background;
I've been having issues with PP for years. Previously I was a photographer, and Lightroom was my software of choice. That was a great Adobe experience, pretty faultless software really...
Then when I moved to video it was a different story... obviously it's a whole different ballgame dealing with video files, I've not had much luck with my editing workflow!
I was working off an underpowered PC first, then was on a few Macbook Pros. Eventually, I got the go ahead to get a new MacPro from my employer, I thought that would solve all my problems! How wrong I was!
Even after the apparent "fix" for the GPU issues, I'm still having problems...
I'm no Adobe basher....No one wants PP to work well more than me (Al Mooney got highly offended on Twitter after I suggested PP might be slightly less than perfect!)
I'm hoping I might get some tips to improve performance or even a fix for the issues I'm having.
Here's the gist of my specs, can give more if needed;
Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
My main drive is a G RAID 8GB TB2
So,
My main issue is that when a sequence gets more complex, the performance dips massively, to the point where it's unusable and crashes constantly.
The timeline freezes, the playhead is laggy, the system gets really slow to respond in general..... Maybe 15 seconds for the keyboard to respond to keypresses. (or else I need to tap spacebar twice instead of once to get it to respond). If I try to make any change on the timeline that anything more than a simple delete etc, the system can freeze and I need to force quit.
Another symptom is that when quitting the program, often it doesn't quit properly and I need to force quit.
The sequences I'm working on don't seem that demanding (especially give the machine I have) so it's really confusing as to what the issue is.
We're talking videos usually in the 2 -5 minutes range. Maybe 4 video layers. Footage wise; generally 1080p XAVC from a Sony F5, some Canon 4K from a 1DC. Can PP really handle native footage, should I be transcoding??? One of the big benefits of PP is the apparent ability to handle native formats, so it's really disappointing if that's the issue....
I do use a reasonable amount of plugins, like Izotope for denoising dialogue, the dreaded Red Giant plugins, and occasionally Red Giant Denoiser (is this the root of my problems??!). My current project has two layers keyed interviews (2 angles) and I'm using Ultrakey for that. (I bought Red Giant Primatte Keyer, but my system isn't powerful enough to run it without major issues....ridiculous!!)
If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've read other threads but my issue seems different. I can't rule out that I'm making some obvious mistake in my workflow either... so any general workflow best practise tips in that regard would be good too.
Sorry for the long thread and thanks for reading.

Hi healyb2,
Sorry you're experiencing this issue.
I think I've identified one of the issues, Izotope 4 Dialogue Denoiser.....
I've disabled it on an existing sequence and the crashes have stopped (for now).
Let us know if these issues crop up again. You can let us know directly here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
So, possibly (like Red Giant) Izotope plugins may not work usably in Premiere Pro....... which really grinds my gears......
Actually, we work hand in hand with plug-ins developers in the realm of compatibility. Some of these plug-ins companies are quite small so you have to pay close attention to precisely what is supported for the host application. In some cases, it takes some time to catch up to the latest versions.
why are Adobe not calling out the plugins as not usable? What about the plugin manufacturers themselves? I can't see this being a performance issue on my end...frustrating!
That's actually up to the plug-ins manufacturers. Please communicate with them accordingly regarding compatibility. Sorry for any confusion this may have brought about.
Thanks,
Kevin
