I'm trying to load up Maya on my Mac and I'm getting the error: "Maya quit unexpectedly" The license appears to have been installed fine, I just can't seem the launch the program. I've searched all over the net and noticed a few people have had similar problems, one guy even figured it out but didn't care to share his secrets!
I'm running:
Macbook Pro
OSX 10.6.3
Maya 2009
I'm thinking about buying a new workstation for Maya 2011. I'm looking at either a 2010 Mac Pro 6-core 3.33GHz/ATI Radeon 5870, or a 2010 Mac Pro 12-core 2.93GHz/ATI Radeon 5870. I've been told by Autodesk tech support that although Maya will see all the cores, that its not guaranteed that it will use them, and use them efficiently for rendering. They said that Maya 2011 isn't optimized for processors more than 4-cores.
I just started using Maya last year on OS X, and I find it absurd how slow Autodesk qualifies new hardware and operating systems, not allowing professionals to take advantage of the latest technology that can save a ton of precious rendering time. Has anyone pulled the trigger and purchased a new 2010 Mac Pro for use with Maya 2009-2011? If so, which Mac Pro, and what configuration did you get and Why? What version of Maya are you running? Are you having any problems running Maya, bugs?..................
I have a Mac Pro 2.26GHz 8-Core and I need to know if the Maya version for Mac is a 64-Bit application because on the AutoDesk website it doesn't give info.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently purchased Mac OS X 10.6 and now Maya autodesk 8.5 will not load. I've tried multiple way to get the program to work, but to no luck. It has to do with the 32 vs. 64 bit. The new Mac OS X 10.6 runs 64 bit. Autodesk Maya 8.5 is 32 bit. I can't get it to launch or run because of the change. Is there a way to fix this problem? I've tried researching for solutions.
1. Purchase new program. Maya autodesk 2011. But I don't have the money for it right now.
2. Install older version of Mac such as 10.5. But I read that it's bad to try and install older version on a new mac. That it can crash your computer and your programs still would not run correctly.
3. Install rossetta and Right click on the icon and choose 32 bit instead of 64 bit. ( I do not know if I have rossetta or how to find out if I installed it on the computer when I started it.) I assume since I didn't load the disks that I don't have it. But how do you find out? Where would you click to see it. ALso, how would I go about fixing and installing it to see if it works.......................
On the PC version of Maya, by pressing CTRL and the different mouse buttons you could do a series of different movements within Maya. The left button provided a rotate, horizontally and vertically. The right button acted as a zoom in and out. And the middle button would pan. However, I can't seem to Pan in Maya which is becoming increasingly frustrating because I would like to zoom in close to do high detail, yet I cannot pan up and down against my image planes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't find very much on this, but I am wondering how likely it is that Autodesk Maya 2010 (or other future releases) will be much more advanced on Snow Leopard. For example, finally having a 64-bit version for Mac. It would seem quite sad that for such an advanced program as Maya, for it to be limited only to a non-advanced OS as Windows. I've heard that it is possible, and that once Maya is available for Mac in 64-bit, it will be far superior to that of 64-bit Windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'll be getting a MBP (hopefully soon, darn you update cycles!) to run Maya 2009 (also coming soon) and was wondering how it runs on the current mid-range MBPs. Is it 'fast'? Regarding current models, since we know nothing of the specs for the new ones: does the VRAM matter? Since I hear it all the time: am I better off running it under Bootcamp? (Maya 64 is Win-only.)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Macbook Pro to use for school. I had asked around the web and people said a Mac Pro would run Autodesk Maya fine. Then I did some more research and found out that Maya 2010 and 2009 run oddly on any computer with Snow Leopard but they run fine on Leopard. I went to the Autodesk website and they said they are currently working on coding it correctly for Snow Leopard. Why they just decided now is a mystery. My question is, should I wait to hear news about Maya 2010 being qualified to run on SL or can I just buy it now and install it? when they fix the problem can I just update Maya online and it will be fine? I don't need Maya RIGHT now but I would like to have it eventually.
And if there is anyone out there who has Maya 2010 or 09 and it runs fine on SL please let me know. Also, I heard people just downgrade to Leopard if they upgraded to SL but the Mac Pro I have had SL installed on it so I don't have Leopard software. Is there a way for me to downgrade to Leopard? Like can I torrent it or call the Apple Store and ask them to help?
my goal is to be a 3D computer animator, and was wondering if the Macbook Pro would be able to handle all of these animation programs successfully?

Two weeks ago, Excel started working sporadically, then not at all.Right now(!!), Word suddenly stopped working. "Word quit unexpectedly" and "Excel quit unexpectedly."
View 10 Replies View RelatedHas anyone had any experience running the Windows 64bit version of Maya on a Mac with Windows installed? We are a company with 20+ Macs and are not looking to purchase a new machine to run Maya. Since Maya has yet to release a 64bit version for the Mac OS, we are contemplating converting 1 of our existing Macs to a Windows based machine. As I have not seen any posts on this topic yet, hopefully it doesn't mean that there are no people running with this configuration.

PowerMac G5 OS 10.5 Leopard - I am getting this error message. If I start up from Install Disk and try to Reinstall the OS, it throws an error message stating "Cannot verify Disk." If I start up from Install Disk, it goes directly to OS Installation without utility options. If I DO NOT Start up from Install Disk, little is recognized, including Main Menu Bar at top. If I insert Install Disk, it does not recognize a disk was inserted to work off. This all happened when: I chose to do a clean restore on the HD to sell the PowerMac. During the process, I had to stop it and I followed directions. Quit Install and select disk to restart from. I chose my HD and proceeded.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had a Macbook for about 2 months, and the 1st 2 months all the applications (including system preferences) has worked without a problem. Just about a week ago, iwent to open system preferences. That worked fine. But, when i went to click on "Desktop & Screen Saver" the application froze for a minute, then automatically quit! A screen poped up saying "The application system preferences quit unexpectedly", and gave the the option of closing it, reporting it, or reopening it. I tried to reopen it, but that didn't do anything (the same thing happened). So, i tried to restart my laptop, and when it had finished restarting, i went to do the same thing as before (open desktop and screen saver) and it "quit unexpectedly" again, and the same screen poped up. I still cant get it to open, and it has already been a week.
View 20 Replies View RelatedAll applications quit suddenly when I click on print or press command+P. I tried everything to solve the problem including:
1) Uninstalled and reinstalled printer driver software.
2) Removed and readded the printer in printer setup utility
3) Reinstalled the whole operating system (Tiger) and installed all the updates.
4) Then it occured to me to test the printer using other user accounts in my computer and it works fine on other accounts! So the problem is just in my user account!
Since downloading 10.5.1, I have had the message below pop up about every half hour. Almost every time, I click "Report...." to send to failure to Apple. I have also tried clicking "Relaunch," but that done nothing to fix the problem. Half an hour later, the popup comes back again. It has happened now more times than I can count. I have tried to research what this application is, but to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this or to at least get rid of the pop up?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used Gimp for about one year with no issues. I updated gimp to newer version 2.6 and now I can not get past errors.
Here is the scenario, then the supporting information;
- I updated gimp, then have 'The application gimp-2.6 quit unexpectedly' error
- X11 was up to date from the MAC side, so I updated to the latest version of X11 from Xquartz, then have same gimp error AND 'The application dbus-launch quit unexpectedly'.
- I removed both with AppZapper and loaded X11 from my Apple software disc with no improvement, I still have both errors.
- I tried an older version of Gimp and it did not work (no menu bar) and I think it was 2.4.7(?)
So with apple standard X11 and fresh install of gimp 2.6 I still am unable to start gimp. Nor will X11 open when I click the icon in apps folder.

I have installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Alu (late 2008) and it's works fine on 10.5.8 then I updated to 10.6 -- still works fine, until I updated to 10.7, it quit unexpectedly. I searched on the internet and I found that I must clean-install the OS X, so I do it. Then I install Adobe CS5 again and everything works fine until I updated to 10.7.3 After I updated my MacBook to 10.7.3 I have set the system language to Thai, and didn't do anything other. I searched on the internet and found that I must Repair Disk Permission so I do it, and nothing happen, problem still occurs.
