I always thought Apple is consumer friendly. After 15 years of using PC I broke down and bought iMac for my kids. What is horrible pain it is to deal with it. you purchase a support plan which is almost impossible to register. Apple is just nicely set up to take your money and provide as little help as possible. I am terribly dissapointed in how difficult to they make it for you to use it...
very, very dissapointed. the whole apple experience is worst than Microsoft.

  • Bootcamp and New Mac Pro

    So I had bootcamp running fine with mavericks, windows 8.1, on my nMP.
    After installing Yosemite, when trying to boot into it it would crash.
    So I tried reinstalling...
    I've tried everything, first I just erased the partition, created a new partition (MS DOS FAT), and created a Bootcamp installer on USB from ISO.
    When I get to the installer.... It won't install on any partition.
    I tried removing all the windows partitions with the windows installer... everything except for EFI, OSX Primary, and Recovery... Creating a new partition from the unallocated space and formatting it.... it creates a new MSR  partition, a system partition, and a windows primary... the Next button lights up... I click it... it says "Windows cannot find a partition or create one"
    I even tried starting fresh completely. Saved an Image of my OSX installation, completely formatted the drive, put the image back on, so that there was only one partition, so I could let boot camp assistant create the bootcamp partition, like it likes to... same story...
    I've tried everything I can think of, no matter what I do, windows "cant find a partition"
    I've tried several different versions of windows 8.
    8, 8.1, 8.1 Pro....  real OEM versions, a cracked version.
    All the same story.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Anyone with a New Mac Pro (Late 2013) able to get Bootcamp, and Yosemite on the same machine?

    1. Are you trying to install via EFI boot or the traditional BC MBR method? MSR/MSD are EFI-based constructs.
    2. Can you the output of the following terminal commands?
         a. diskutil list
         b. diskutil cs list
         c. sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
         d. sudo fdisk /dev/disk0.
    3. W8.1 EFI installation on the nMP should work. It is normally done using a "Free Space" partition, not a FAT partition.
    4. Do you have any external storage attached to the nMP when installing Windows on the internal disk? If yes, they should be removed till the installation completes.
    5. Using a USB3 flash drive will not work. You need a USB2 flash drive.

  • My old ibook and new mac book pro

    Hi, Hope someone can solve my problem. Thanks!
    I had a ibook G4 which just dead already, cannot start-up, but the hard disk can be take out from my ibook and the data is still in the hard disk.
    If I buy a new mac book, How can I transfer my ibook data, setting, itune account, etc. to my new mac book? but the ibook cannot start-up anymore. How can i solve it ?

    Even if your old Mac cannot start up it still may work in target disk mode. (Start up holding the T key down) If it does connect it to your new Mac using a firewire cable the new Mac will then see the old one as an external disk and Apple's utility will do the job. If target disk mode will not work get an external case for the hard drive and it will become an external drive (I got mine from Macsales) Be sure you get the correct kind. A case for serial ATA case won't work. A firewire case will work fine. A USB case may not need a power supply for the drive and will be slower.

  • Unresponsive keys on new mac book pro

    Hi everyone
    I've just purchased a new mac book pro but am finding some keys are unresponsive (especially the 'd' key) which means when I am speed typing I often have to go back and re press the key several times before the letter comes up.
    Is this a known issue with mac book pro's? Do I need to take it to an apple dealer to be checked?
    Thanks in advance for any advice

    It's not a known issue, return it immediately to your dealer for replacement or you can use your warranty and have it repaired.

  • After Effects CC and new Mac Pro with FirePro D700

    Hello
    I'm about to purchase a new Mac Pro, 64GB RAM, SSD 512, Two AMD FirePro D700. Working with post-production software basically use Adobe After Effects CC, my doubt is whether the normal After Effects continue working on this new machine. If it is fully compatible with this video card and if all resources will have a better income. And what can you tell me about the Ray-Traced with these video cards.
    Thank you.

    • Adobe does not support AMD cards with their ray-trace renderer, and are unlikely to do so in the future.
    • Cinema 4D Lite, included with AE CC, uses the CPU, not the GPU, for rendering.
    • The third party plugin Video Copilot Element 3D is GPU dependent, and they have pledged support for the Mac Pro display cards.
    • Adobe has hinted at substantial improvements to AE multi-threading efficiencies in a coming release.  The implication is that more CPU cores will be better utilised in the future. 
    I will be buying a new Mac Pro soon too.  What the above tells me is that After Effects will continue to be best served by faster and more multi-cored CPUs, rather than better GPUs.  For my money, I will stick with the cheaper D500 GPUs, and get a better CPU option.

  • LG Monitor and New Mac Pro -- Colours out of Whack

    I have an LG L226WT and a 20" Apple Cinema Display connected to a brand new Mac Pro.
    Both monitors (in the same configuration) were running on my old PowerMac G5 before.
    The Cinema Display works fine, colours are good, so is light etc.
    The LG first had ghosting (severe at that) and this morning the colours are totally out of whack. Looking at some photos I had taken a week ago and colour corrected on the G5 now look like a child painted them (on the LG monitor, on the Cinemadisplay they are fine).
    It's not the graphics card either. If I take a screenshot on the LG and look at it on the Cinemadisplay the colours etc. are correct, but the LG is right now pretty useless to me. I tried to calibrate it but the end result is pretty much the same, it just does not seem to want to play nice.
    I don't think it is the DVI cable, as it is securely screwed in and in the same location as on the PowerMac, turning the monitor off / on seems to resolve the shadow problem but not the colour issue.
    Anybody have experienced this? Any tips outside of trashing the LG and buying a new screen?

    The ghosting issue is still one when I first turn the computer on. I found that I have to turn the monitor off and on and it resolves the issue.
    I also found the source of my colour problem, it comes down to the LG "resetting" itself to some "automatic improvement" or whatever you want to call it, which completely messed with the tones. After I turned that "feature" off it worked well, but man, that took me three days to figure out.

  • Tiger to Leopard and new Mac...

    Hey there,
    So far I´m working with my Powerbook and Tiger installed but soon I´ll get a Macbook with Leopard.
    Here it starts.... I´ve to get all of my files, settings and what ever over to the new Macbook.... What do I´ve to do? I´ve searched already for a threat like that but haven´t found one... Would be nice if anybody can help me.

    YetiSL,
    All of your preferences will be transferred to the new Mac. In fact, everything in your HOME folder. If you use the "Migration Assistant" correctly (read the prompts carefully, and make your choices only after thinking about them), you might not even notice that you have migrated to a new machine.
    Applications get transferred too, but there are some that will need to be reinstalled (the Migration Assistant can't know about every file associated with every application you might currently have installed). In any case, you will want to move to the Universal Binary versions of these applications anyway, so this is not a big deal.

  • Premiere pro cc and new mac pro 2013

    There is so much being written about Adobe CC (Premiere Pro) not working well on the new mac pro that I just want a final clarification from Adobe:
    1. Does Premiere Pro work well on the new machines and is the software set up to make use of the new machine elements- like dual GPUs etc??
    2. If not is this in the pipeline for Premiere Pro CC updates and any estimates on when?
    Thanks
    David

    You do realize that, for the most part, this is a User forum, not a Support one?  We have participation from various Adobe employees due to good will more than anything.  They don't and won't share road map stuff with us until they're ready to announce it to the whole world.
    I think you're asking the wrong question on the wrong forum.
    Pr CC and AME CC are both set up to make use of the dual GPUs on the new Mac.  Several of us have already shared our experience with CC on the new Mac Pro; for the most part it's very favorable.  A few folks are still having some difficulty with it; hopefully they've opened support cases with Adobe to get that straightened out.

  • My old and new macs were stolen during migration. Does this mean they are logged in to my account?

    I was transferring data from my MacBook Air (2011) to my new MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant over wi-fi which took around 30 hours so I left them both at home to complete. Both laptops were then stolen in a burglary. I have tried Find My Mac (on the Air) and it reports being Locked. I haven't Locked it and the Lock and Erase options are greyed out. I want to know if my account is still logged in and what precautions I should be taking?

    FYI, You might be able to get your Serial Numbers attached to your Apple ID in:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    Or look up your purchases.
    http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
    They could have interrupted your mirgration. Keep an eye out doing google,yahoo searches for your serial numbers. Look on Craigslist and e-bay and ask questions and for serial numbers to check specifications. Always notify the police they can help with pawn shops and other things.
    I also thought you might want additional information on how to track it even without anti-theft software Like iCloud, Dropbox, Gmail, etc.. If you have these report those programs to the police as they can be used to track it.
    You can use Anti-Theft programs like Prey or LoJack if installed before they get stolen.

  • Problem with USB speakers and new Mac Mini

    I have a USB sound system consisting of a pair of Harman Kardon soundsticks and a woofer from probably 10 years ago (bought and used originally with a Mac). I have tried driving it my new Mac Mini. It works fine for about a minute; then the music stops. Here's what I've tried to diagnose the problem:
    1. The problem does not occur when these speakers are driven from my Macbook Air (about 3 years old).
    2. The OS and iTunes software is up to date on both machines (10.9.5 and 12.0.1.26).
    3. It does not depend on which USB port I use on the Mac Mini.
    4. Using a port on a USB extender on the Mac Mini does not solve the problem.
    5. The iTunes Preference settings are the same on both machines.

    Sorry, no actual experience with USB Audio devices.
    I found this in the Pro forum, but the outlook doesn't seem good:

  • Basic 3D effects and New Mac Pro

    Hi
    We are running Premiere CC on the New Mac Pro.
    We use a lot of Basic3D effects in our editing in Premiere.
    After we changed our machine to new Mac Pro (black),
    whenever I try to render the Basic 3D section or export the video that
    has the Basic 3D effects, the computer crashes.
    While previewing, it gives me some digital noize looking like
    the software is having problem processing the video.
    How can we solve this problem?
    The premiere crashes without any warning.
    I can force quit the software.
    The only way is to restart computer by hitting the power button.
    I restarted the new computer numerous times.

    Hi Vinay,
    Here's the specification:
    [Mac]
    New black mac pro
    Processor  3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory  32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    [Premiere]
    Premiere pro CC Version 7.2.1 (4)
    The type of media I'm using is Avi and Apple ProRes 422.
    The effect I'm using is Basic 3D.
    I had to restart my computer more than 10 times while I was exporting the sequence by hitting power button.
    I finally went in to Project Setting and in General,
    I changed the Renerer from OpenCL to Software only, it got stable.
    So I guess is that the solution?
    Is there other way to solve?
    Thank you.

  • OpenCL / GCD and new Mac Pro's HD 5770 and HD 5870

    hey!
    considering to buy a new MacPro but I can't find any information if OpenCL and Grand Central Dispatch is supported by those new cards (HD 5770 and HD 5870). It seems that ATI Stream isn't that Mac friendly?!
    Thanks for your comments!

    A couple things -
    1. I know you said you don't have any money for more drives, but I would not bother using your 160 as a boot drive - why cripple the mac pro by putting the OS on a slow drive? The new mac pro comes with a 1tb WD Black by default... The Current generation of 1-2tb drives are probably 3x faster than those old 160's. Even the green drive will be faster.
    2. If you make money using aperture, using an SSD to store the OS and library on will pay for itself in one job. The OWC 120 SSD has the most impact of any aperture upgrade I've ever made - it is a substantial difference. In fact, when I got my new mac pro, it only took me 3 days to pull the SSD out of my macbook pro and put it in the mac pro - after using an SSD, using any traditional media based HD feels like going back to dial-up internet - it was that noticable and I couldn't take it... Opening a 30k image library (all referenced) took 18 seconds on the laptop drive, on the SSD on the laptop it took 1.5). I put the SSD in the optical bay and use the stock 1tb drive it came with for storing the referenced masters.
    3. You'll gain some speed benefit (and maintainability benefit) from using a referenced masters setup and storing your library on a separate drive from the raw images. Since you have room for 4 internal drives, (or more if you use 3rd party brackets or mount a drive in the optical bay) I'd definitely consider it. It makes a raid setup sort of not make a lot of sense... Since ideally you'd want off-site backup anyway -
    4. I was in your same boat when I got my first mac pro, I had to decide what to do with all the legacy drives... For me in the end I decided that time was money, and the time it took me to move stuff around across my collection of 5 hard drives was not worth the cost of just buying a few new 2tb drives (for around $120 US, and they are fast). I understand this may not be everyone's case -

  • Old i-pod and new mac book pro

    I have an old i-pod (I think refered to as classic) and an new mac book pro.  I managed i-pod files on sony vios that I no longer have.  I want to connect i-pod to new pro to manage files.  I do not want to lose music.  What is the process to get i-pod to recognize new mac book. 

    Try going to the app store, in your applications folder.
    Then go to the purchases section and if you see iphoto in the selection it should have an install button on the right click that and it will install.

  • New iPhone 4 and New Mac

    Hi,
    Currently I have an iPhone 3G and it syncs with my MacBook. I also have a Mac Mini and I use homesharing, so both iTunes libraries are the same (except from playlists, but that is another issue that I need to solve).
    I am about to receive an iPhone 4. I would like to sync it with my Mac Mini. Is it possible to transfer by iPhoen 3G backup from my MacBook to the Mini so I can splly all setting and Apps to my new iPhone 4? Or do I need to start all over again?
    Would it be possible to sync the iPhone on both my MacBook and my Mac Mini?

    You can only sync to one computer. If you want to use the Mini, copy your iPhone backup from the MB to the Mini.

  • Powerbook and new Mac Mini compatibility

    I'm considering purchasing a new intel-powered mac mini with airport express to use as a house server.
    In addition, as I can't afford to replace my G4 powerbook just yet, I was hoping that I might be able to use the Macmini as an short-term alternative for intel-enabled software.
    So, my question. Could I network my G4 powerbook and new macmini in such a way that I could run intel-enabled software on the mini, via my powerbook screen and keyboard. Effectively using my powerbook as a dumb terminal for the macmini.
    Is that possible given the chipsets?

    MacEnstein. Welcome to discussions!
    Best to start a new question - many people will stop looking here since it is marked answered. This lets you get the attention you deserve and keeps one problem per thread.
    But - we are here - so let's see what happend.
    Bonjour will find computers on the same network. That means unless you have gone to pains to set up two DHCP servers and change things substantially - things will work on most home networks.
    Open the terminal application on both computers and do a netstat -nr - each should have the same gatway for the default destination and same network destination (look for 192.168.1/24 or similar) under the Gateway column where it says link#4
    Most likely you will have IP addresses like 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1/24 - feel free to start a new thread or post your netstat -nr results of it's not clear what I'm doing.
    Also - you can simply test this out from the command prompt. Each machine is known by a host name - type hostname -s on each. If Bonjour is going to work - machine "a" should be able to ping machine "b" as follows:
    ping b.local
    the .local says use Bonjour to find the machine named b and ping it.
