On my new iMac 2.4GHz I have this problem (with Maya 8 and Maya 2008)

“The installation process is ok (or it seems) but when i launch it, the system don’t respond at any operation. Maya displays only a blank windows labeled MainWindow and the only way to use the mac is forcing the restart.”
What you hen reccomend me?
So is it Maya Complete, Unlimited or PLE? If it’s PLE then that might be the problem … I’ve had nothing of a sort with Maya 8.5 Complete and my Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz. Also many others here with Complete/Unlimited versions and success on Intel Macs.

Maya Unlimited 8 or 2008, the same bug.
New iMac intel core 2 duo, 4GB memory, fresh copy of Tiger 10.4.11.
Unity works even import from maya works. So maya freeze computer when show “Learning Movies” e dialog.
I found other forums about this issue
System Requirements:
So, sounds like maya 8 and 2008 was never tested with new iMac 2.4 and graphics boarad RadeonHD2600.
BTW I tried start it under Rosete same bug.
I’m running Maya 2008 on a seemingly exact same profile iMac (except for the fact that it’s running Leopard) and it works just fine. Have you done all the firmware updates?
[Edit] I was also running Maya 8.5 on this machine with OSX 10.4.9 with similar success. There was definitely something screwy with the GFX card on this iMac though until we updated the firmware.
Yes
I should check leopard. But think you right abt. troubles with this hardware…
I remember it asked me abt. update hardware but how was finish this proccess mac did not tell. If i try download update now it says: this computer does not need it. Some time Mac is too smart for me
I found way how to start maya. I have delete next files from the maya’s content
downloadLearningMovies.xpm
LearningMovies.xpm
mayaLearningMoviesPage.mel

I do not know how correctly maya works, but maya starts and does not freeze computer
Bug disappear under Leopard
