Starting up MacPro for first time: it's stuck on identifying keyboard

I plugged in my moniter and my keyboard - my specialty editing keyboard, and it came up "Before you start" please verify keyboard - when it was hung, I tried plugging in standard keyboard that came with the MacPro, and turning the system on and off. It recognizes the mouse - It won't allow me to force quit, and it has been frozen on the "before you start" page for half an hour!
HELP!
Thanks,
Huranghu2

I just pressed the power button for 10 seconds to power down and restart. Duh. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get past the fire wire update option.

  • InDesign CS4 won't start after installing for first time. Other CS4 applications are fine.

    Hello,
    I have Adobe CS4 applications installed except for InDesign. Today I tried to install it on a windows 7 64bit machine with my other Adobe products. When I try to start it nothing happens. I can see the application running in the task manager but nothing starts. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it but still nothing. I saw on the forums to remove preferences but there's no folder related to that my guess is due the fact that it never ran for the first time. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling everything and then reinstalling all Adobe products. I would rather not have to do that. Thanks in advance.

  • HT5304 Starting Macbook Pro for First Time

    Just starting my new Macbook Pro with Retina Display and cannot get past the Internet page as when I enter my BT wireless key and press "Enter", the machine returns "Looking for Wireless networks" and does nothing.  Anyone any ideas?

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them deal with it.

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

    Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Long time to open workbook for first time

    Hi,
    I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
    The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
    Version of analysis 1.4.6
    Win 7(64 bit)
    Ms office 2010(32 bit)
    Refresh on opening is disabled.
    Few thing which I did:
    >> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
    >> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
    Found that
    There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
    Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between  following events"
    -verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
    -verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook  XML
    - verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
    and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
    >> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
    the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
    Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
    Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
    Thanks
    Pramod.

    Hi Pramod,
    Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
    Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
    According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
    The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.
    Regards,
    Filipe

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do?

    Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do? Previously hit "organize", ran for 25 min till hit 100%, then "had to close"?

    Unfortunately, there's not enough info listed to give you an effective answer.
    Can you give more detailed system spec's.  There are a lot of differences in RAM, & Hard Drive Technologies.  Is your 2TB a single hard drive, or multiple drives in RAID?  While a single 2TB drive is nice for the storage capacity, they also sacrifice some performance to reach that capacity... What speed is the RAM, & I'm assuming it's properly opperating in Dual Channel mode (watch your POST screen to be sure).  Which Core i7 CPU are you running, & what Operating System are you running.   Finally, bring up your task manager, & see what processes are using CPU cycles.   Also, are you starting up PrE8 through the default shortcut which uses the Welcome screen?
    A quick guess is that Auto Analyzer & the Welcome screen are behind your troubles, but can't be sure till more info is available.
    There is a current thread about Auto Analyzer, & I've posted a way to bypass the Welcome screen in several threads. 
    See my post in this thread to bypass the Welcome screen http://forums.adobe.com/thread/516524 (2nd post in thread)
