Problems with my MAC PRO, Help needed please!
Im a photographer using a MAC PRO 2x2 GHz DUAL-CORE INTEL Xeon, MEMORY 1GB 667 mhZ with a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw.
My problem is, on several of my images that I open on either Photoshop cs2 or even Preview I noticed that my blacks look overly pix elated or solarize simple looks like a broken image. I had the image sent to my roommate's Imac and saw the same image there and it looked perfect but not on my Mac Pro. I wondering what's causing this problem. thank you very much.
Hi again,
Just wondering: by any chance do you have a website where you could upload (at least) one of those photos so I (and we) could get a look at it ourselves?
I use Photobucket.com, I created an separate album there I call "Illustrated Explanations" where others can see (and even copy) examples of photos I want to share or get feedback on.
I like your choice of color profiles for the SynchMaster (Adobe RGB 1998), but are those photos also given the same color profile? If not - there may be a "conflict" between the different profiles which could explain your problem. But there's more to it than that -
Yes, you should have clicked the "Calibrate" button and gone through the calibration steps presented to you. Right now, on the Displays - Color panel, I have three calibration settings for the SynchMaster. First is the original, 2nd one is my first try at re-calibrating and the third is my final * I hope!* calibration. You have to enter a name for each calibration profile you create, mine are: "SyncMaster," "SynchMaster1" and "SynchMaster2." The last is the one the monitor is set to.
As you see, you can do this several times if needed. But if the problem is not eliminated by this procedure, then I would (very much!) think you have a bad monitor and should have it serviced or replaced.

Help! Problem with my Mac Pro! :(
Im having a strange issue with my Mac Pro it freezes and gets stuck during startup and the OSX never starts, the spining gear gets stuck. First i thought it was the memory so i used the apple hardware test. Then i tryed the hard drive in another computer and it worked. The thing is that is not working in my machine
I have a Mac Pro (Early 2008) computer with 8 gb of Ram and a Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
KERNEL PANIC sign twice and i couldnt do anything. The message i got is this one.
As far i could understand it has something to do with the NVIDIA driver right?
Does anybody know how to solve this problem since I dont know what to do...
Thanks a lot!

Serious Problem with New Mac Pro! Please help!!
Ok, long story short.
My Mac pro keeps crashing after I installed the latest 05-2007 security update. It seems to crash everytime I come back to the computer after the screensaver has been on for a while (its not the screensaver though) I reinstalled the newer v1.1 version of the update and I thought the problem had gone, but it hasnt as the computer just crashed again.
I cannot see any correlation to any other programs, and im 99% sure its not a hardware issue. It does not seem to relate to parallels, or the screensaver, or itunes, or anything!
And there is another crazy thing, when the computer restarts, it says that it recovered from a serious error and asks you to sumit a report, so i click the send report button and do you see a normal report window with all the code ? NO!!! Press report and the initial window just DISAPPEARS, nothing else happens!!! i.e it wont send the but to apple!! no wonder they haven't fixed it!!!
The history of the panic log is always the same error:

Frozen Mac Pro -
Ongoing problems with newest Mac Pro and CS4
Hi all,
I've just switched from a Final Cut Pro editorial house to a new company that bases production around the Adobe Production Suite using Premiere Pro CS4 for all our editing needs. From what I understand about this company (and this workstation) is that Premiere Pro CS4 has been buggy on this machine and this machine only. I find this strange as it is one of the newer high end mac systems available right now and is more than capable of crushing most video that will be put into it.
In brief a summary of the problems include;
1.) Final exports rarely work, no matter the codec, bit rate, size, duration, etc.
2.) If AME CS4 does manage to successfully export a piece it will generally have random black frames right at every cut starting about halfway through the piece.
3.) Even so much as switching sequences within a project manages to bog the system down and crash it, thus making me have to force quit the program and occasionally restart the machine.
4.) After rendering the work area the machine suddenly becomes unresponsive and thus causes another crash/force quit scenario.
5.) Certain audio tracks will play for about 2min and 30seconds and then mysteriously go silent, while a clear and present waveform is able to be seen (however occasionally premiere will cut this part of the clip off!)
I will post the hardware and software specs below but I feel it is necessary to detail why I find these problems to be extremely peculiar.
Firstly the projects we have are generally shot on the 5D MkII. I understand CS5 has the ability to play these clips back through it's mercury playback system (after it's own internal conform) at real-time and allow you to edit as if it had been transcoded traditionally. We are planning on obtaining a copy of CS5 in the near future but I am currently worried if these problems may be associated to faulty hardware.
Upon my arrival I formatted every drive and did a clean install of OSX Leopard 10.6.5 as well as a fresh install of Adobe Production Premium CS4 (updated to most recent release). This leaves out any possibility of a plug-in such as the red giant filters or sapphire filters interfering with the rendering and exporting process. Nothing seems to work. Even throwing an uncompressed 8-bit clip into AME CS4 manages to crash it.
A coworker of mine had two great ideas on the problem the other day for me to test out. The first being that it could be a bad piece of ram. I figure this could be a possibility as I don't know the history of this machine and I noticed all the RAM slots are full of 1gig sticks (and two 4gig sticks) so there could be a bad one in the bunch. I went through the process of elimination leaving one stick in at a time and testing an export (extremely time consuming) and every time it failed. His second idea was to take my project file and associated media to the creative directors computer which happens to be a two year old Mac Pro running CS4 (on OSX Leopard). He has several plug-ins installed along with tons of additional applications etc etc. Sure enough I loaded up my project file consisting of a bunch of 5D MkII footage and it played back perfectly, exported perfectly, tabbed through sequences perfectly, and did everything it should!
My question is why. Why would his older machine work with this footage on the same version of Premiere Pro CS4 and not my newer, faster, shinier editing machine? I've done everything I can to test any theory I've come up with both from my own experience as well as through internet research. Deleted PList, emptied RAM, emptied Cache, reformat and reinstall, swap RAM around, tested different hard drives, etc. The problem is not isolated strictly to the H.264 files the 5D MkII produces either, as even the uncompressed 8-bit files I've brought in won't play nicely with the system either. It's such a bummer that my first experience with Premiere Pro had to be on a machine that has these horrible quirks but I feel it has a lot to bring to the table over Final Cut Pro and I would love to find a solution to this problem so I can get back to cutting!!
Thank you in advance for all of your help!

Next, move to a Windows 7 64 based machine using an i7 950 and 12 GB RAM at a minimum (with a GTX 460 or better as a seriously considered option), and then upgrade to CS5.
Chances are more than excellent that doing will resolve all your issues. -
I think theres a problem with my ram someone help me please
I have a ibook g4 mid 2005 model and the hard drive says zero kb free i deleted half of my applications i dont need and it still says zero kb free. is there a problem with my ram? or is there a mac virus or somthing? also when i opened a game after a while it said force quit please and delete stuff becuase your hard drive is full. someone help me please!
It does not sound like a RAM issue but a disk problem. You might just need to empty the trash so that the deleted space is marked free. Otherwise it is best to boot from an install CD, run Disk Utility, and do a "Repair Disk"

Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4
I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
should i reinstall cs4?
my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
thanks all...um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
any help is still needed! -
Power up problems with G5 Mac Pro (Power PC)
I've been running this G5 Mac Pro since purchasing it in 2005 with pretty much zero issues. A couple days ago while I was using it there was a fizzle, my display went black and the computer went quiet. I just figured a breaker had dropped since we have that happen occasionally. But no, all electricity was fine, the computer had just stopped. Trying everything obvious (different outlet, etc) did not help. Most of the discussions in the forum seem to be about computers that won't boot. Mine won't start at all.
When I plug in power / unplug power I can hear a small click - just once.
The small white light above the power switch also flashes just once.
If I take off the side panel and plastic shield I hear the same click but now of course the yellow led comes on. (If I understand things right, that light indicates not only that the plastic shield is not in place... but that the computer is correctly hooked up to an external power source).
No fans, no disks, nothing.... just that one click.
A call to support here in apple support / JAPAN tells me only that since this is now a vintage model, they can't offer any service. I mistakenly thought that they were referring to a service warranty not being in place... no, they actually have no one who will even look at it. Really???
Thanks in advance for any ideas.Japamac..... just searched a bit and found a photo-detail description of removing the power supply on a G5. Wow.
The disassembly is involved. It does require no fear, manual dexterity, knowledge of machine assembly and the Apple Service Source manual helps.
Testing is done with the PSU still in the machine using a multimeter that can be purchased at a home center (not too expensive, ¥2000 or so, as determining if DC voltage is present and within range is all that is needed).
If you are interested, email me and I will email you a test instruction sheet pdf. -
VisualHub Problems with Nehalem Mac Pro?
Just got a new 8x2.26 Mac Pro, installed VisualHub, and tried to do a conversion and received an "error opening codec for output stream #0.0". Tried everything I can think of, but keep getting that error. Works fine on MacBooks and iMac, just not on new Mac Pro.
Does anyone have it working? I'd like to at least eliminate compatibility as a problem.
(Handbrake works fine, just not as fast for my workflow so I'd rather get VisualHub going).In order to preserve VisualHub (or AudialHub) if you need to switch computers, you need to back up two things:
1: The VisualHub (or AudialHub) app itself
2: The conversion engine
To back up the conversion engine, Copy the folder at: /Library/Application Support/Techspansion
...for good measure, you can also back up your Preferences file, containing your registration info in case you lose the original purchase e-mail. It's at:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.techspansion.visualhub.plist
...or for AudialHub:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.techspansion.audialhub.plist
As far as I can tell, the two programs will continue to work in Snow Leopard, but I obviously can't predict the future or what Apple will do in it, though.
Thanks for enjoying Techspansion's software. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm sorry I won't be making it with you anymore. -
Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...
That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:

Airport Express problem with iMac G5 iSight - help needed!
I bought an Airport Express (AX) last week, upgraded my OS to Leopard and installed Airport Utility fine. I could join my existing wireless network and everything worked fine for streaming itunes through my stereo. But this week Airport Utility has stopped being able to find the AX and I can't work out why - really need some help! Its in the same place as last week, close to the computer, and I tried another location right next to the Imac but didn't work. When I restore factory settings Airport Utility does recognise the device, and allows me to update settings for wirelessly connecting to my existing wireless network, so the light on the AX is solid green. But then AU again says it cannot find any AX wireless device. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong???
Hi I'm still battling with this - have connected the AX to my Imac via ethernet and it shows up fine in Airport Utility. Status light is green and it says its set up to connect to my existing wireless network using wireless connection. Security in Network Preferences is the same for both: WPA2 Personal.
So I don't think there's a problem with the AX, and my current wireless network (BT Home Hub) is working fine.
And when I restore factory settings Airport Utility can see the AX before updating settings so the wireless side of AX must work too.
I'm figuring it must be something about the settings that mean AU can't see it anymore. But I can't work out what, since security is the same.
Any ideas would be great! -

Please provide a solution to this.
Thanks

Edited by: 953348 on Aug 18, 2012 8:00 AMI can't provide a solution but maybe a little help. With the header line you posted here it seems to me that a new line starts after 2048 = 2^11 characters. This might be a limitation or a length of any variable in the package.
Maybe you can change this value or shorten the texts in the header to stay below this limit.
A few more things:
- the code, that you posted here became destroyed in lines like UTL_SMTP.mail (conn, '< ' .... because the forum software tried to find html-code between the "<" and ">" signs.
- you can mark code in your postings with (see FAQ). It makes code better readable but it does not help with the "<" and ">" signs.
- you left your e-mail-address in the header of the code. I guess this was not your intention. You can edit it and remove the address even after posting a message. -
Davinci resolve render problem with new Mac Pro
Hello,
we are having strange glitching effects (as shown in attachments) while exporting from DaVinci Resolve.
The project is in 4K.
Maybe it is related to an heating issue? We have seen that it doesn’t manifests if we divide the exporting process into smaller chunks (single shots) but if we export the project all together after a while it comes up (like if it is correlated to the temperature of the graphic card).
Details:
Mac Pro (late 2013)
2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
2xAMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (but it also appeared with 10.9)
DaVinci Resolve 11.1.1.006
What should we do?
Thanks.I'm experiencing the same issue and to say that I'm FURIOUS is an EUPHEMISM!
This nightmare all started October 15th when I decide to make me a present and make my life easier upgrading my coloring gear with the "most powerful mac desktop" on the market.
After spending almost 11K not only I wasted time and money and lost clients but all this is still not over at today's date after a 3rd MAC PRO desktop replacement and after going through apple care to have my 2 D700 and logic board replaced on the last one!!!
Hours and hours of driving to the store, order a new replacement, wait days, reinstall drivers and softwares, render tests etc etc!!!
After hearing from the apple "genius" it definitely looks cool! there are people out there that make transparent enclosures!
It could look like an hairy armpit for what I care, I just want a machine that works for god sake!
Shame on you Apple! Shame on you Blackmagic! Advertising this machine and your software as the best combination out there for color grading!
FIX IT NOW!

Select distinct problem with muliple join tables, help needed
Hi,
I have two main tables. Each has its of sub joined tables.
guest_id_for_reservation connects two major tables. This has
to be that way
because my guest may change the room status from single to
double (and the
similar exceptional requests).
guests reservation
guest_id_for_reservation
countrytable hoteltable
delegationtable roomtype
I form a query. I want to select distinct those results. But
it does not
work.
If I do not include any table related to reservation table
and its sub
joined tables (disregarding guest_id_for_reservation), it
works.
Is there a specific syntax for select distinct of this type
or any
workaround.?
Thank you
HakanHi I'm still battling with this - have connected the AX to my Imac via ethernet and it shows up fine in Airport Utility. Status light is green and it says its set up to connect to my existing wireless network using wireless connection. Security in Network Preferences is the same for both: WPA2 Personal.
So I don't think there's a problem with the AX, and my current wireless network (BT Home Hub) is working fine.
And when I restore factory settings Airport Utility can see the AX before updating settings so the wireless side of AX must work too.
I'm figuring it must be something about the settings that mean AU can't see it anymore. But I can't work out what, since security is the same.
Any ideas would be great! -
