Questions & Answers

Why do I see a message stating "More About This Mac Pro was unable to start" when restarting my computer?

This may be due to damaged files. In such a case reinstalling More About This Mac Pro is usually the solution. To install, you must use the Installer program on the distribution disk. During installation, files are copied to your startup disk and then configured for correct operation. For a list of files installed, see the Files installed on startup disk section. (It would also be wise to check for other damage to your startup disk or file system: start by running Apple’s Disk First Aid or another disk repair program.)

Why do I see a message stating that "More About This Mac Pro failed to start because its serial ID is in use on another computer"?

Each copy of More About This Mac Pro has a unique serial ID and is licensed to run on one computer at a time. You must buy and install a separate copy of More About This Mac Pro, each with its own serial ID, on each computer you wish to use it on.
