Problems with Digitus DA-70577 on MAC PRO 4.1

Hello
My USB3 Digitus DA-70577 connected to my MAC PRO 4.1 through the Cal digit Card stops working randomly and requires to be switched off and on to work again.
The apps with files linked to the drive freeze and occasionally I must reboot the Mac
I think it's not a Cal digit problem as in the second port I have a USB3 RAID system working well at all times. I also tried to change the RAID and the HDD in the two available ports but nothing changed
I use this set up while editing so is really annoying and I also worry to eventually break the Drive inside the enclosure
Any suggestions if this happened to anyone
Regards and Thanks

@Pete_B100, thank you for a different direction. I was able to start an install with the drive in an external USB bay. However, I could not get it to boot ML inside the internal bays. This got me thinking...
SOLUTION: This was an error on my part. I bought my MacPro 4,1 without the WiFi card in it. Around the time I bought it, I had a Mac Mini that I was using for parts. I took the WiFi card (Model No. AR5BXB6) out of the Mac Mini and put it in the Mac Pro. Worked like a champ for SL and Lion. While I was in there yanking out drives, I decided to yank that out. The hint was that the ML USB boot could not see my WiFi card. After I took it out, it was operating like it should. I was able to do a Clean Install of Mountain Lion on my Crucial M4 SSD with no problems.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions!

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Power problems with Radeon 3870 on 2008 Mac Pro

    I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (10.5.7) and I've replaced the 2600 card that came in it with two Radeon HD 3870s and I am having an issue.
    The cards are in slots 1&2 (the higher speed slots.) After a short period of time, the card in slot 1 powers off its monitors, but the monitors on the second card remain active. Only a reboot reactivates the monitors on the first card.
    In the process of debugging this I've removed all cards and put 1 3870 in slot 1. The problem remained.
    I swapped in the other card in slot 1. The problem remained.
    I then tried each card in slot 2. The problem remained.
    I've reinstalled the 10.5.7 updater, but this didn't help either.
    Here's what the card looks like in system profiler:

    Now enough free space on the disk can slow the entire system down.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select Storage from the menu.
    Make sure there's at least 15% available space.

  • Urgent question very Strange problem with an external HD on mac PRO

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a external HD on my mac pro.
    After many month of regular use with out any problem today when I turned on the HD I could not see it in the finder anymore.
    I use this HD for backup of an other external HD and to do the back up I use an application called SYN SYNC
    The strange things are:
    1) If I start Sync Sync everything works properly as if the sofware recognize with out problem that the HD is effectively there.
    2) If I open DISK UTILITY I can see the HD and if I try to repair it the utility after 2 minutes says that everything is ok.
    3) If I look for the mac pro (to which the external HD incriminated is connected) on a different mac in my studio over the net I can see the external HD and I can browse the folder, copy items from the esternal HD to the MAC and even copy thing on the external HD.
    I tried to connect directly via Fire wire 800 the HD on a different MAC and I could not see it like on the mac pro.
    Does enyone have an idea of what's going on?
    best regards
    Lorenzo

    I can still see all the others external Hd with out any problem and I already try this but no results I can't see that HD on the desktop and neither in the sidebar.
    As I said the strange thing is that the external HD shows the same behaviour when is connected to a different MAC.
    Seams the problem is with the HD not with the MAC.
    I even try to use a different case for the HD using also USB connection instead of FW, but nothing change!

  • Major problems with Server 10.5 on Mac Pro

    My Mac Pro was running Leopard 10.5.6.
    I installed 10.5 Server on a separate internal hard disk. It installed OK, but when I successfully logged in and downloaded the 10.5.6 v1.1 update, the computer froze on Log Out. I had to power it off using the power button.
    When I started up again, after I type in my login credentials, only "Server Assistant" opens. No dock. Just the "Server Assistant" menu bar. And I can't do anything except move the mouse and see the menu. When I press Command-Q, it closes Server Assistant and logs me out.
    This happened to me twice; on two separate installations.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, the obvious question is what processes are running on the machine that could be consuming bandwidth.
    There are three scenarios I can think of that might cause this.
    One is the server trying to download a large amount of data - e.g. if you startup the Software Update Server it will download gigabytes of software updates from Apple. I'm guessing this isn't the case if it's been going on a long time.
    Option 2 is a misconfigured service that's allowing your machine to act as an open relay (e.g. a web proxy or mail server) and other users are bouncing traffic through your machine. This is absolutely something you should fix.
    Option 3 is a hacked/compromised machine that's doing something it shouldn't.
    Of these option I think #2 is the most likely. If you're running an open mail proxy you will get hit by spammers using your server to spew their wares.
    You should look at the server logs to see what's going on. Specifically /var/log/mail.log for the mail server and /var/log/httpd/access_log or /var/log/apache2/access_log for the web server. If either of these are large and growing you may have a problem.
    Once you identify the source of the problem you can implement a fix, but until you know which service it's impossible to be specific.

  • Printing problem with OSX 10.9.4 Mac Pro

I use a canon Printer MX 397 Series (Fax/Print/Copy/Scan), after following all the instruction given by The Help Menu and from Internet, still can not works, I already updated the software that I just downloaded from canon website, but it did not work.
    This printer works very well with my other laptop using windows OS.
    I did not know what went wrong with my MAC, somebody please help me to solve this problem.
    The only thing that work was The scanner, but still the doc was nowhere to found

    Try resetting the printing system.

  • Is there a hardware problem with the early 2008 model Mac Pro's that causes

    graphics card failures?
    I've had the 2600 fail just out of warranty then I bought the Nvidia 8800. The 8800 lasted around 18 months them failed as well. I replaced it with the ATI HD5770 which has been working very well up until this morning when I booted the computer and got a screen full of multi-coloured lines. After a reboot it was fine but this also started happening before my other graphics cards eventually failed.
    I've had many hi-end gaming PCs and never had a graphics card fail before, but my mac - which has never done any hard graphic work - has had two and appears to be going for a third failure.
    Something isn't right.

    GBA,
    Thanks for your reply, appreciate! In fact, I did start up a thread but there is no reponses from friends at all
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16200881#16200881
    Then, I search around the discussion and got this thread. Try to drop by and hope to learn some skills or tips to resolve my issue before I grab the graphic card to try my luck!
    Yup, I'll try to boot up from installer and hope it helps! Update you soon...

  • I have a brand new hp officejet 6700 premium e-all-in-one printer but my macbook pro is not detecting the printer to even install it or make a print can some one tell me if it is a problem with the printer or the macbook pro?

    can some one help me with the question ..

    no not at all..it was just tested if it was being detected on a windows os..it did..i am doubting either it is a problem with the router or the macbook pro....but earlier it did connect well to a hp officejet pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer over a different network(at someone else's house)...

  • Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

    I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
    Here is what I am working with:
    Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
    OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
    6Gigs RAM
    3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
    I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files.  The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen.  The system has slowed down to almost a standstill.  Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze.  I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times.   The program also freezes on startup frequently.
    No other programs are running.  When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete.  The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge.  It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed.  Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
    I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

    Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
    Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
    If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
    With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
    Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
    Good luck,

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?
    --Kenoli

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.
