Yosemite NVIDIA issue on MacPro 5,1

I'm getting visual noise and screen rendering errors. It started when I upgraded this Mac Pro 5,1 with an SSD drive and fresh install of Yosemite 10.10. I had previously been using 10.8.5 on a conventional drive with no issues. The graphics card is an NVIDIA k5000 attached to two 27" Apple Displays via display port and a 50" Panasonic video monitor via HDMI.  A few dozen times each day I'll see interface noise (see example in attached image). This occurs in my most used apps, including Finder, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Safari. This problem only occurs on the Yosemite OS on the SSD drive.
I am using the latest drivers from NVIDIA; CUDA Driver Version: 6.5.18 and GPU Driver Version: 10.0.43 310.41.05f01. I downloaded the NVIDIA Driver Manager. Selecting and restarting using either the "NVIDIA Web Driver" or the "OS X Default Graphics Driver" does not resolve the problem. I've also tried enabling ECC which does not solve it. I then replaced the K5000 with the original ATI Radeon HD 5770. The ATI does not have this problem, only the K5000. I then thought the card was dying or becoming defective, which didn't make sense because everything is clean when using the boot drive with 10.8.5. Despite my reservations, I purchased a new PNY made NVIDIA K5000, the same as the first, and the problem persists. The K5000 cards are not defective as both of them always display a clean interface in 10.8.5. It is clearly an issue with the K5000 on a MacPro using 10.10 or 10.10.1.
Anyone else experiencing GPU issues like this on Yosemite? I've seen many postings about other GPU issues but mostly with laptops. Apple or NVIDIA, are you aware of this? Also, where can I submit a bug/issue report to Apple and NVIDIA?

I'm having the same problem (and more) on my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2.
Two days ago the CUDA Preferences panel said there was an upgrade, and installed CUDA Driver Version 6.5.36.
In Activity Monitor "aerendercore" shows as "not responding" around 10 times a day. Premiere crashes 2-3 times a day.
I checked nvidia website, and they had a 6.5.37. Installed that, but same issues.
CUDA Panel also says "GPU Driver Version" is "10.2.1 310.41.15f01" ... not sure if that is something that can be updated.
I'm rebooting 4-5 times a day.
Not sure what to do ... have you had any luck?

  • Another Yosemite speed issue

    This is yet another Yosemite speed issue. I've done some reading around and read the FileVault can cause an issues, I took a look and I've always have FileVault disabled.  I installed EtreCheck and the results came up with a lot of RED and "FAILED". Unfortunately, I have no clue how to being to read this and was hoping someone could shed some light onto this for me.
    Here are my results: (Just trying to right-click and paste this took almost a minute)
    Problem description:
    Installed OS X Yosemite and now Macbook runs extremely slow. I have had FileVault disabled the entire time.
    EtreCheck version: 2.0.11 (98)

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • Nvidia Issue or just broken? - Macbook Pro 17 inch 2008.

    My screen intermittently started going into this very weird textured looking dark pale blue colour... sometimes with some lines sometimes with just the texture. For a time it would just start working by itself. I've been quite hard on the computer travelling extensively on bumpy rides, so I wouldn't be surprised if something is just loose.
    The reason I want to try and figure it out first is that the first place I took it to said it was water damage, kind of funny. They said I needed to replace the screen, I said no just give it back... and then when I fetched it the screen was working again!... they apparently stepped on it by mistake - Im not kidding! The whole body is slightly bent. It worked for about a year now, but stopped again last month.There is a photo of how it looks here:
    http://nic.co.za/images/laptop_screen.jpg
    I bought a 27inch imac to work on but desperately need my older machine to be mobile as well.
    I've tried to find the exactly the same issue online but they all seem slightly different. I bought my laptop in Los Angeles but am currently in South Africa.

    Hi m, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Sounds like it could be a connection, a cable, or the GPU. Read about the NVIDIA issue, but given water damage and physical damage, I strongly doubt the machine will qualify for the free repair. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have it tested and see.
    I'm sure it's too late now, but if a repair shop stepped on my MBP, they'd be repair the damage or compensating me for it . . . .

  • G DRIVE won't mount! is Yosemite the issue?

    Hi all. So I'm trying to mount my 2TB thunderbolt g drive on my iMac 5k (OS X Yosemite), and it just won't mount. It doesn't even show up in disk utility.
    I know the drive probably is not the issue, because I tried it out on my macbook pro (OS X Mavericks), and it mounted instantly. Is Yosemite the issue with this? Has anyone else run into these problems??

    Do you have another Thunderbolt drive that you can use (or borrow) to make sure the Thunderbolt port on your iMac 5K works?

  • Extended warranty valid for secondhand mbp without receipt? (nvidia issue)

    I have a black screen and proably the NVIDIA issue (as described in article TS2377 on the apple site). I am going to local apple stores tomorrow to get some tests done. However I have traded the mbp3.1 with an iMac last year and I dont have a receipt. Would this be a problem to get a new NVIDIA and logicboard free of charge?

    Hi. I dont know the original owner. we traded through a secondhanded apple site. he came over. we swopped but i have no further information.
    the macbook pro is from june 2007, but it has the NVIDIA issue which should be fixed free of charge, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377
    The mbp is a little over 3 years old, but this should not be a problem as apple says in the article ^^
    +If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within four years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.+

  • Display dead, then comes back to life- can Nvidia issue be intermittent?

    I have a MacBook Pro MA896LL (Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa) that I use with an external display most of the time.
    Rebooted a few days ago only to see nothing- sleep light on the computer was solid but laptop and external displays were blank. Disconnected external display and power-cycled, same thing- discovered that the computer is actually on but just no video (can boot in firewire mode, etc.). Tried the usually stuff, reset PRAM, SMC, left it off for a while, nothing. Figured I must have the dead Nvidia card issue.
    Anyway, booted it back up today in Firewire mode to finish backing it up, and lo and behold, the display is working again!
    Question- can the Nvidia issue be intermittent, or is it just working or not?
    I have AppleCare, but repairs unfortunately involve me flying to Miami and hanging around for a few days while they repair it, and I'd hate to go and then they tell me it is not that problem, only to return home and have it again.
    thanx

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think that the NVIDIA problem can be intermittent, and the fact that the external display was also blank does indicate the graphics card.
    While the display is working, you might try running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test and see if you get anything in the way of an error code.
    Also, call Apple on the telephone to report the problem and to get a case number. Explain that the problem seems to be intermittent, and for that reason you would prefer not to fly to Miami for the reasons you gave. Ask if there is an AASP in your area that could do a diagnostic test. Apple has some sort of special procedure for testing for the NVIDIA issue, and it may be that someone local can do this for you.
    If you get any results on the AHT or any other diagnostic test that would confirm the problem, then you can arrange to have the repair done at your convenience.
    In the meantime, you might keep a log of when the problem occurs. For example, the chip may work fine when the computer has been off a while and is cold, but the problem might occur when the computer has been on a while, and maybe with intensive processor activity. If you can discover any conditions which will reliably cause the problem to occur, you will be much more successful at showing it to someone at Apple.
    Good luck!

  • NVIDIA issue?

    Having been using my first Mac for quite a while now. It did its duty pretty well. Then I was just curious to know how fast it is in 3D games. Unfortunately, I know how slow it is now! I only tried Second Life so far. I didn't feel anything before I tested the same game on my old IBM R51, which has 1.5GHz, 512M memory, ATI Radeon 9000, 40G 5400rpm HD. Here is the comparison on fps:
    12"PB
    standing still: 10-15
    moving: 5-8
    turning: freeze (for about 5 seconds)-5
    best (no 3D structure in view): 25-30
    IBM R51
    minimum: 15
    in most cases: 25-30
    best (the same site with no 3D structure): 50-70+
    The difference is huge. I feel pretty bad about this. Are you kidding me? Everything is better on my PB. Even if GeForce FX Go5200 is not as good as ATI Radeon 9550. I really didn't expect it to be worse than Radeon 9000. Although I am not going to play any "big" game on it, I am hoping it would handle some professional programs, such as Photoshop, with ease. However, it seems I might have some trouble now!
    Is this the famous nVIDIA issue? I've heard a few times that it is only a driver issue. I didn't pay attention to that, cause I thought it would be a minor problem. Anyway, I want to know more about it. What is the problem? And why? How many things are affected? Hopefully, only 3D is a problem. Is there any solution? If it is only a problem of driver, why don't Apple or nVIDIA publish a new driver or patch to solve it once and forever. I actually tried to find a driver for the video card, but I don't think it exists, at least on nVIDIA's website.
    I noticed that some people had very similar problem with Simcity 4, but the suggestion was to find a patch for the game itself instead of waiting for the expected Mac OS update, and that was a long time ago. So the problem is still there seriously affect the performance, while no efforts have ever been made to solve the problem?

    Did you follow the wiki guide?

  • NVIDIA issue: Apple not agreeing to replace logic board

    Hi,
    I have a 15" MBP purchased in Oct 2007.
    This is what happened.
    Watching videos, screen starts flickering, Then hanged. So rebooted manually. Happened 3-4 times and after that system won't boot.
    Display comes, sound comes and then comes to gray screen of death.
    Took it to ASP, guy says software issue and asks me to repair. I go home run the diagnostic test and get the error:
    4VDC/1/40000003: VideoController.
    Googled and found out about the NVDIA 8600M graphics processor issue.
    Went back to ASP very happy that problem occurred with just 2 months remaining for the 4 yr warranty.
    Then begins my ordeal.
    ASP says because of the kernel panic, they cannot run any diagnostic test to confirm if its only GPP issue. They say some other component on logic board has failed so cannot give free replacement.
    Raise it with Customer care who puts me through Customer Relationship Manager, she says she'll have Apple engineers validate it.
    Comes back next day, says Apple engg ran test and found out its not GPP issue. I ask for results confirming it. She says I can get those from ASP.
    Next day go to ASP, ask for results, they say we could never run any test.
    I am a bit of technical guy myself. I understand that any malfunctioning hardware can cause kernel panic and graphics processor is pretty important one.
    So what I don't understand is, how can Apple say its not NVDIA issue, without even running any test.
    Called up customer care again, (this time was connected to different relationship manager) she kept saying the same thing, we did our test and find to connection to GPP issue. I asked her to put me through some technical person. She said she would do it and am waiting for the same.
    What I find very frustrating is that I have found many instances where people found the same issues as mine and they got a free replacement of the logic board. Then why in my case Apple is not willing to accept that this is the same problem.
    I need help from folks over here. What really are my options? What should I do?
    I am hoping the Apple technical person understands what I am saying. But what if he too refuses to accept?
    I cannot afford to spend this much on a logic board. Will have to buy a new one and that too non-MAC. (My wife would kill me if I buy another MAC and based on my own experience I would be very scared as well)
    I am based in India.
    Please help.
    -Thanks

    Finally some good news. Couldn't wait to share with you all.
    Received a call from AASP that they have got the approval for replacement of logic board and I should be getting my laptop back next week. Yayyyy..
    This is what happened today.
    Today being a holiday I went there in the afternoon. Luckily the place was empty.  So caught hold of the supervisor and told him lets sit together and work on the
    issue. Told him if we suspect the kernel panic to be an OS issue then lets hook up another HDD and bootup the laptop. Thankfully he too obliged.
    First thing he booted up in single user mode and ran fsck. HDD was all OK. Then I noticed that the background instead of being completely black had some blue
    colored stripes. He probably noticed that as well but didn't say so. When I asked him if it was supposed to be black he said yes but also said it could be an OS
    issue as well. Then he got an external monitor. But since the laptop won't boot we couldn't reach the stage where we can make use of external monitor.
    Next he brought external HDD. It was detected but again laptop won't boot from it.
    Then he got the NVIDIA Test Program on a USB stick and tried to hook it up. Unfortunately the laptop didn't recognize the USB stick. He then got the specs of
    my laptop from Apple Site and brought up the TS2377. Then he gave me some nonsense about how my model was 15"MBP 2.2/2.4 GHz (Late
    2007) whereas in TS2377, it just says 15"MBP 2.2/2.4 GHz, no mention of Late 2007, therefore my laptop is not part of affected batch. I was like, dude, what
    are you talking about, its clearly mentioned manufactured between May 2007 to September 2008. Then he said, this model doesn't have "something" because of
    which the NVIDIA test cannot be run. When I asked what that something is, then he just said nothing and cut short that thread of conversation. Then he tried to run
    the test on his own laptop and to my good fortune even that laptop didn't recognize the USB at bootup time. It would detect when system was running. At
    that point he pretty much ran out of all excuses and told me he would take the laptop inside and work on it. He told me he'll give me a call once he has an
    update which he did a while back and gave me the fantastic news.
    Although I am thankful to this AASP person for looking into it seriously, this whole episode has left a bitter taste about Apple's service in general.
    First I never expected Apple product to go bust in less than 4 years. And if there is a known manufacturing fault then Apple should make sure that the
    customer doesnt have to do running around to prove the issue.
    The NVIDIA test requires the system to boot up. But ideally the test should be such that they should just be able to take the logic board and verify it somehow.
    Its like, if the part has gone little bad then we can replace, but if its gone completely bad then we can't.
    Also, Apple should look to fix issues in logic board rather than asking users to replace it completely (in the event they are not providing replacement). For all
    we know the problem could be in $10 component that requires a $1000 to replace.
    Anyways, enough of my rant. I'm just relieved that matter is resolved. I am thankful to all who replied esp tjk.
    Wow.
    As you and I already know, that machine is indeed one of the models that may be affected by the NVIDIA issue. It's difficult to believe someone would deny that. Anyway, your persistence paid off, and you should be on the way to a normally functioning MBP. Finally. It's too bad you had to go through all that, but I'm glad that worked out for you. Hope you'll post back with the results after the MBP is repaired.

  • Early 2008 MBP screen turns off/on (not NVidia issue)

    My MBP is an early 2008 A1260 15" and the screen suddenly turns off and on. Originally I thought it was the NVidia issue but that doesn't seem to be the case because I can hook up an external monitor and get video. I took it apart to check any loose video cables on both the logic board or behind the screen itself and everything seemed intact. I even pushed everything firmly in to make sure the connections were making good contact. The backlight also lights up but without any image so the inverter is not to blame either. Then as I figure it's simply the LCD that has gone bad and i'm using my comp through the external monitor the screen suddenly turns back on and works. Later shuts off and back on. This makes me think it's a faulty cable however everything is connected properly and there were no signs of damage to the video cable.
    Any suggestions as to what to check or this could be? I don't want to pay nearly $150 to replace the LCD screen if that's not it. :/

    Allow me to elaborate the situation...
    Taking in to Apple = $350
    Purchasing a new display and replacing it myself = $150
    New video cable = $30
    Taking it to Apple = No.
    I can fix computers on my own but I am a bit stuck on this slightly odd situation so I would greatly appreciate any replies to not include the response, "Take it in to Apple."
    I appreciate the suggestion but that's not going to happen after I already took it in thinking it was the NVidia issue and there found it was a display problem.
    You're right that it seems it's a component that's failing but that's why I am asking, which other components should I check? Any other similar issues? Etc.
    Thank you

  • Imac 24" - 2008 with yosemite - bluetooth issue?

    Hello everyone,
    My computer was working fine after downloading yosemite, but all of the sudden (I haven't installed any software or hardware prior to this issue)
    I have received this panic report a couple of times after attempting to run a diagnostic by holding "D" (it didn't work)
    The reason why I tried running this diagnose is because my bluetooth is out of commission and my booting time is anywhere from 2.5 - 5 minutes.
    I'm able to see the bluetooth icon, but i cannot turn it off or pair to anything. I have deleted the plist file and I also did the "pvram" (spelling) and another reset and didn't work.
    could someone take a look at this report and Hopefully shed some light on the issue?

    I have a different prolem - my Apple Wireless Keyboard will not connect.  This started after the latest update installation.  After "removing" the device (in Bluetooth Preferences), it will find the keyboard, but will not pair with it.
    Any suggestions, anyone???

  • Upgrade from 10.6.8 to what? Turbo Tax 2014 forcing the issue.(MacPro 2009)

    It's time to upgrade from 10.6.8 to what?  Turbo Tax 2014 is forcing the issue.   Go up incrementally or just to 10.7? 10.8? (MacPro 2009)

    I have this question, too.  I was advised by someone at Mac App store to purchase OS Lion 10.7 for $ 19.99 which I did.  Only to find out after the purchase and download that I only had 1 GB and needed at least 2  to use Lion.  Now Apple refuses to credit my account for the $19.99 charge sending me some sort of coupon, but cannot be used to purchase the  ram needed for my IMac. nor when I do increase the ram, I would not be able to re-purchase Lion.
    I was wondering about Maverick or Yosemite on the older IMac. They are free. Don't understand why the older versions are not free, also.  I have Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and like it very much.

  • NVIDIA Issues; hitting the video card hangs the machine

    Hello everybody, this could easily be placed under the Kernel and Hardware forum, but this one suits my experience level better.  I tried
    searching for some similar issues to what I am having, but wasn't able to come up with anything. (Perhaps I was an unknown keyword off in my searches. )
    Additionally, thanks in advance for any help! I'm pretty much out of ideas short of replacing some hardware.
    My problem is that whenever my desktop displays anything that is graphically intensive, it freezes. I first experienced this while I had Slackware 13.1 installed when trying to run Minecraft. I had been running it successfully for a month or two when it hung while I was playing. I switched over to Arch in the hopes that it would be easier for me to troubleshoot the problem. This was a few months ago, and I've not been able to figure it out.
    I'm running with an i7 930 CPU, GTX 480 video card, and six gigs of RAM. My xorg.conf is below:

    The more I investigate, the more I feel like this could be a hardware problem. I checked the CPU temp first, but it only reaches ~32 degrees celsius when the system hangs, so I doubt that's the cause. I've checked the cables (power and otherwise) between everything in my box, and it's all solid. I've also taken the sides off, thinking it my be an air flow issue, but that didn't solve it either.
    On the software side of things, I've got nvidia, nvidia-utils, and lib32-nvidia-utils installed and they aren't popping any errors that I can see. When I run glxinfor or glxgears, nothing happens, the terminal just prompts me for input (which is actually an improvement, in Slackware, they hung the machine).
    Again, any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, I'm at my wit's end about it.

    I had a similar problem that turned out to be the graphics card working itself loose. So, if you haven't already, try taking it out, cleaning the contacts and plugging it back in. Worth a try and worked for me
    Also, Xorg 1.10.2 & the nvidia proprietary driver don't seem to be in conflict for me so I think williewillus is mistaken.

  • Macbook Pro (17-inch, mid-2010, i5, stock config) freezing -- Nvidia issue?

    Hi there--
    I have a fully stock-configured (no mods, no hard drive tweaks, etc.) Macbook Pro (17-inch, mid 2010, i5 model). It's only 3 months old. Running 10.6.4, everything updated and NO peripherals connected...
    Anyhow, I was working at Starbucks yesterday morning and the system froze for no reason. Was doing semi-heavy workload with Photoshop CS5 and iTunes going and Safari downloading. Mouse would freeze in-place, iTunes starts stuttering in a loop. I waited, but system remained "frozen" -- only thing I can do at this point is shutdown via the power button.
    I powered back up and system froze at the spinning progress indicator that you see on boot-up . I shutdown, powered back up... was able to work for about 10 minutes and same system freeze. I powered down for two hours, powered up, and same thing happened again.
    *I've documented these freeze ups via video.* See my Youtube playlist, and the videos titled "crash" here (videos are encoded at 720p -- so click option for more clarity):
    http://www.youtube.com/viewplaylist?p=38CDEF9C98B96BCE
    I've also screen capped the crash logs which make me think there is something wrong with the video components of this machine. A whole lotta "Nvidia" related language.
    *See screencaps here:*
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/hildie/sets/72157624689980753/
    Does anyone have experience analyzing crash logs, and can tell me what this might be about?
    Took it to Genius Bar (Apple Store @ Beverly Center, Los Angeles) early yesterday evening. They were nice, but didn't offer any clear theories other than they think there is something wrong when the system switches from the Intel on-board graphics to the Nvidia graphics. They took the system from me and said they would "check it out for a couple days" and get back to me.
    I'm frustrated because I run an extremely clean system (system has fresh OS install only a month ago), and not used to mysterious hardware issues hampering my workflow. Especially when I'm 90% done with updating my design portfolio and desperately need to get back to work!
    PS - I tried the latest EFI update, and the issue was still happening after the update.
    Thanks.

    Your frustration is very understandable. It sounds like a hardware issue of some sort. The AHT does not test everything, so it will not necessarily find every possible hardware issue. Apple has a more sophisticated hardware test they can run, and often hardware issues may not show up until the machine is heated up. What they probably want to do is to try to reproduce the freeze and then run the test to see what is wrong.
    You can run the cleanest system possible, and still be beset by a hardware problem, which can only be solved by replacing the faulty parts. Here's hoping that the Apple guys can discover what is wrong and fix it for you.
    Hardware problems can be intermittent and hard to find. If they can't make it freeze and therefore don't find anything, then the next step would be to use it at the Apple Store until it freezes up and then give it to them to evaluate.
    Good luck!

    Looks like I have a memory leak somewhere.  I'm unable to pin it down.  My kernel_task is taking too much memory and it force yosemite to kill window manager, not a good thing
    Can you help me out?  I'm really considering a roll back to maverick, but before doing this maybe there's hope to fix this for good..
    I also removed cleanmymac as I was requested in other thread of people having same issue.

    Hello greg, I uninstalled cleanmymac and forticlient( even if I need it).   Nosleep is very useful to prevent my mac to drop all my rdp connections.  Here's a new etrecheck output to confirm my clean up:

    I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with tech support, and 4 days attempting to resolve a download problem on my MBP.  After upgrading to Yosemite I attempted to update my primary software package for work and the download continues to stall during download.  Apple care told it was the Software's company's fault, the software company pointed me back to Apple.  Apple pointed me back to them and they pointed back to Apple - I just want what I have paid for to work as advertised.
    Here is where I am at now:  I will begin the download and it will progress like normal, then the cooling fan comes on and the download with stop.  Several times the progress of the download, in percentage, actually shows to decrease - meaning it goes backwards somehow.  I cancel the download and restart the software the cooling fan stops, I restart the download and after a random amount of time the coolings fans start again and the download stalls.  I know that this sounds very unrelated but since I noticed this connection it has done it every time since and I have went through this process at least 12 times since first making the connection.
    I have followed all of the steps from Apple's senior advisor in checking settings and troubleshooting.  She told me that it was the software's problem.  The software company tells me their servers are good and then shows me the mountain of reports from Yosemite users that are having similar issues.  Meanwhile I'm stuck with a $2500 dollar MBP and a $3000 software investment that I can't use for the purpose that I bought them.  When I told Apple care about the fan issue they inferred that I was crazy to think that the cooling fan could be connected - maybe I am.

    It's not clear to me if this is an issue within the software package such as with a download feature within a particular software package or software distribution mechanism, or if this is something weird with OS X Yosemite that's causing a problem elsewhere that's effecting this download.
    Who is the third-party vendor, and what is the package?  Is there a posting from the vendor pointing to the issue?
    Has the third-party vendor plans to offer an alternative download path, which would seem reasonable for a case such as this with a "mountain of reports" involved?
    Given your long discussion with the vendor and with Apple, have there been specific suggestions you've tried and found haven't worked?  Otherwise, we're just going to repeat some of those.
    The cooling fan gets involved when something goes compute-bound or otherwise starts looping, either due to a design problem or due to a bug.  Adobe Flash Player tends to spool up the fans, for instance.
