Went on my vacation, brought my macbookpro, got home, mac pro won't acknowledge photos. Why?
Wife uses the macbookpro mostly with her iphone. However, they are my photos on my phone, and all computers are mine, so why in any case because I have synced with another computer with also uses another iphone, that my personal mac pro won't acknowledge the photos that originated from my phone. Photos shouldn't be subject to copyright like music purchases. If I decide to share my photos with another mac (which also happens to be my macbookpro that my wife uses), there shouldn't be anything applied to the photos I've taken with my personal iphone once it is plugged into my other mac. They're my photos regardless and originated from my iphone, so my mac pro should never block these photos from me in iphoto.
Summary:
I go on vacation with my macbookpro.
I take photos with my iphone. I put them in my macbookpro while on vacation.
I get home. I try to put the photos on my macpro. Not only am I not allowed, I can't even see the photos in iphone via my plugged in iphone. They are hidden when plugged into my macpro.
Why don't I have access to MY OWN PHOTOS when I have spent well over 50,000 dollars in Apple products?
To fix this I had to export the photos from the macbookpro to a USB and manually add them to my mac pro. Alternatively I could plug in my iphone to my windows computer and access all the files via a folder search.
Another way to look at this which imo also applies.
I go on vacation with friend. I take photos with my iphone. I sync some of the photos to his iphoto on his macbook. I get home.
I can no longer see those photos, which I took, using my own iphoto sync on my mac. They don't show up anywhere with preview or image capture (remembered name). Just because I gave my friend some of my photos, doesn't mean a lock should be applied that doesn't allow me to sync those photos via iphoto on my own mac. Doesn't this make sense? Why is this happening?

Ive got a Mac Pro 2010, bought second hand through eBay. When it comes to update the software, the username is blocked to the previous owner. It appears off and the box goes directly to password. I have tried to reset then to log in in apple store with my login but didn't help. I would appreciate any tips to sort it out
Thanks fellasThat machine did not ship with Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), so that means the copy of Mountain Lion on the machine was purchased by the former owner and is non-transferable. It is permanently linked to his/her Apple ID, so you cannot update or reinstall it.
What you need to do (which the seller should have done for you) is reinstall the original system that that machine came with. I believe that would be Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). What you need to do is reinstall that system from the original disks. If the seller did not provide those disks, you can call Apple and get them replaced for a small shipping and handling fee.

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it
If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

Hi
I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
thanks and hope for your best solutions
KariI can't help directly with your problem but you might check here http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/macpro/ for a service manual which could answer your question.

I went out to join the amazing race challenge in my work. When we were almost to the end, the weather changed and it started raining. I put my phone my my backpack and got wet along with my other stuff. By the time I got home, there's no more sound and it keeps showing "SLIDE TO TURN OFF". Then the next day, I can't charge anymore.
You might consider a case like Otterbox or something similar for active events in outdoor use. They not only give good protection against drops but also protect from water. It's not meant to swim with take underwater pictures but really good for rain splatter or the situation you were in. Good luck.

Just got the mac pro and mouse will not connect.
I've googled the heck out of it and can't find anything wrong. At this point I don't know what else to say but, the mouse isn't working. Checked batteries, went through ALL processes, and nothing seems to work. All I get it the green status light blinking or it will say it's connected for 30 secs but doesn't do anything. If anyone else has any other help or info I would appreciate it.

How far is you mouse from the back of your mac pro and is there anything between those two points? Beyond about 3 to 4 feet the MM on a mac pro for many people is problematic. Here's a 24-page thread on this topic:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Bottom line, use a bluetooth dongle (that what I use -- IOGear GBU421) or wire up an external antenna to the bluetooth card inside your mac pro.
As an experiment you could try doing a smc and pram reset and keep the mouse close to the back of your machine and seeing if it pairs up and stays connected. -
Hey everyone,
I am new to the community and a convert to the Mac. Last week on Friday I ordered the 2009 Mac Pro 2.26ghz Nahelem x2/ 6gb ram/ 640gb hd/ airport card/ student MS Office / 4870 Radeon HD.
I do 3d modeling and rendering along with video editing and my g@d this thing is fast! I absolutely love it. It is such an amazing machine and very quiet. I like to keep my legs near it since it turns into a nice warmer
I am getting an additional 8gb of ram sent over so that would put me at 14gb ram. The mac pro can support 14 correct? I know it can go more, but is 14 an appropriate number? More importantly I know that it came with 6x1gb sticks so I believe i have 2 open slots.
Glad to be part of the family!What is your reason for needing a 17"? If it's portability throughout the office, from desk to desk, then yes, but traveling with etc. You're more better off with a 15" imo. If you're not moving it at all, then Mac pro of course.
The base 17" MBP is $2800. Have you seen the refurbished section recently?? Dam n!! They got a whole array of deals. These stick out in particular (equal or less in price of the 17")

Refurbished is gold imo, same warranty, same everything, the only thing different is the box you get it in. -
hey,
I've rebooted my mac before installing new ios lion, so after everything was done i copied my data back to my mac book pro, then simple clicked on adding to library option in itune and it only synced half of the track and rest simply didnt copy, i thought maybe some error occured and i tryed the same procedure again but its not adding more tracks in it. and i just notice when ever i try play a new song through my data it does not open in itune these are the same tracks and songs i been listening to since ages on different note books and pods..
Help me i've tryed everything but nathing seems to be working. and my itune is uptodated =SUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
I've got a Mac Pro and monitor reads
Entering power save. Every time I restart this comes on, and the screen is black. HELP!!
HI,
Did you mean this to be in Older Displays and Monitors ?
I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

Just got my Mac Pro. Any issues with 10.4.10
I seem to recall issues with 10.4.10 on the Intel machines. Is that true? If so, what? I have 10.4.9 right now
I've had my Mac Pro since April and have all the latest software without any issues. Just follow all the usual upgrade precautions.

Just Got My Mac Pro: Initial Response
I've been a Windows user my entire life and ordered a Mac Pro for film editing because I wanted something stable.
The computer arrived today and I was very impressed when I first unboxed the machine - impressed with the looks and the ease of adding my seperate hard drive I bought for it.
However on turning on the machine I was very dissapointed at how inaccurate the mouse pointer is. I thought it could be tied to the wired mighty mouse that came with it so I hooked up my logitech optical from my windows machine and that was not much more accurate on the Mac.
I thought it might be an issue tied just to my own Mac but then I mentioned the issue to a friend of mine whose parents have a Mac and he said he experienced the very same thing when he first used their Imac (he is also a Windows user).
Has anyone else noticed this? There is no doubt the accuracy of my logitech mouse on my windows machine is much more accurate than on my Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro if I move the mouse around fast there is no problem. The problem comes when I am trying to put the pointer on a very small area, like the red x to close the window - then it can be tough to put the pointer in the right place."I have no clue what
you guys mean by a difference in accuracy. " I mean, say I want to quickly put the pointer on the very bottom of the Y on the "post Message: Reply" that I'm looking at now as I reply to this message. On my windows machine I can put the tip of the mouse pointer right on that small point in just one try. If I try to do the same with Mac Pro, it takes me 2 or three tries. As I bring in the pointer and try to put it on the very small area, the accuracy starts to go out the window, and sometimes very suttle moves of the mouse do not move the mouse pointer at all.
If lasers are supposed to be very precise then I will try one of those at some point. Really there seems to be no other solution. I'll probably go to Microcenter and try the mouse on their Mac Pro to see if theirs does it. I worked on their machine a little before I bought mine and don't recall any issues with mouse movement on their machine, so maybe this is tied to just a small number of machines.
And yes, I have also seen threads of this issue elsewhere as well for one here:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OperatingSystems/Macintosh/Q21450924.html?query=mousemovesslow&topics=22
What this guy is describing pretty much mirrors what I'm experiencing.
This is the second such topic I have seen on this
issue, and I am totally puzzled. I have no clue what
you guys mean by a difference in accuracy. I suggest
getting a Laser mouse if you are experiencing
problems with an Optical. You should also try turning
the mouse sensitivity all the way down, that should
greatly help accuracy. Despite being a gaming mouse
the DPI adjustments on the G5/7 are quite useful in
creative apps as you can adjust the speed of the
pointer on-the-fly.
I just don't get the problem :S your example: "The
problem comes when I am trying to put the pointer on
a very small area, like the red x to close the window
- then it can be tough to put the pointer in the
right place. "
On 2000 DPI I have no problems hitting the x and that
should be the hardest due to the extreme speed.
In any case don't click the x, that's the newbie
way... use apple-w to close windows and apple-q to
quit apps.
