Mavericks 10.9.1 and graphics corruption with mac pro early 2009

Mavericks 10.9.1 is causing graphics corruption with my mac pro early 2009.
ATI Radeon 4870 quit working altogether. Replaced with ATI Radeon 5870 and having different and weird graphics corruption issues.
Turned off screensaver because once I got all pink screen with occasional snowflakes flickering on screen. That has stopped now but other things still happening.

  • Power issues with Mac Pro (early 2009)

    I have a problem that seems to be related to power issues. I have to disconnect the power cord for a few hours, then, I connec it again and turn on the mac. I have replaced the power supply (by a certified technician) and the problem seemed solved. Nonetheless I added a fourth disc drive and the problem presented again. I have two video cards a 20" cinema display and a 24" LED display (Apple) connected to a GT120. 10 GB RAM.
    Every time I connect the computer there is an Inrush alarm in the UPS I have it connected to.
    Does anybody else have had with this issue?

    As Allan mentioned, the UPS is way too small for the task. I've seen mention of folks who have 1300's that are fine, but target recommendation (and what I plan to get soon) is 1500. Also, make sure you don't have a laser printer plugged into the same UPS.

  • Did my Mac Pro (early 2009) come shipped with built-in Wi-Fi?

    I was pretty sure when I first started using my Mac pro (early 2009) that I had built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. I know for sure I was able to print wirelessly to my Brother HL 2070N B&W laser printer. I have always used Ethernet to my modem for internet mostly because I believe to get a more reliable signal strength. Over the years I have upgraded from the factory OSX to mountain Lion and then to Mavericks and somewhere (not sure exactly when) I have lost any and all Wi-Fi capabilities. Thinking perhaps Mavericks was the problem I have since Downgraded to Mountain Lion. Much to my dismay - after a clean install - It was clear to me Wi-Fi was no longer available. It was shaded during the set-up process after start-up. The Wi-Fi Icon does not show up in the top tool bar on the mac screen and the option for Wi-Fi does not show up in System Network preferences. I even went as far as try to re-install the top toolbar icon via "Library, Core Services, Menu Extras". It now shows a hollow icon when clicked on says "WiFi: no hardware installed".
    Is it possible I need a new card installed?
    or, could it be something as simple as changing my internal battery? can I do this myself?
    I have already tried re-setting SMC. I don't think it worked because I have difficulties with my power button (another problem over the years) in which power & light doesn't always come on right away. It takes several tries and plugging / unplugging USB devises. This has been a whole other issue; perhaps for another discussion.
    I have also tried re-setting NVRAM / PRAM.
    I have run out of ideas (and USB ports) at this point - could use some expert advise.
    Thank you in advance.

    Some info at the above link on various wifi upgrades. If you are having USB issues, maybe the Asus PCIe card would be worth considering. Otherwise, I'd suggest one of their USB adapters (I have two).

  • External graphic card for mac pro (early 2008)

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) where the graphics card seems to be dead.
    I have no replacement and a new one is a little too expensive for what I'm gonna use it for. (400$).
    Also the harddrive died.
    So now I have an unconfigured Mac Pro with no display.
    I can't figure out if there is a way to boot it and have it somehow share its screen during a first install?
    Is there an external USB/firewire graphics card that will act as a master display output already when plugged in?

  • Best graphics card for Mac Pro Early 2008?

    I have a Mac Pro Early 2008 with the default graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600), and would like to make an upgrade to a better graphics card that will run games smoothly. I'm not an expert with computers at all, but all I know is I would like to buy a graphics card for around $200-$300 (If it's more expensive then that's ok, but preferrably this price range) that will get me the best performance possible. I play games like Minecraft, Skyrim, and Team Fortress 2. Thank you for any help/recommendations you can provide!
    Also, I wasn't sure which section to post this in, but feel free to move this thread.

    Also, to provide more information (not sure if needed), I have dual monitors and the following specs:
    Processor  2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
    My two displays are LG ULTRAWIDE Display (2560 x 1080) and LED Cinema Display (24-inch, Late 2008, 1920 x 1200)

  • Confirm iSight with Mac mini (early 2009)?

    Can someone please confirm that an iSight (external Firewire 400) camera actually works with their Mac mini (early 2009)? Of course, that will need a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter.
    I can't get mine to work. I've used two different iSight cameras that work on other (older) Mac minis. I've used the cable that comes with the iSights and another Firewire 400 cable.
    When I plug it in the iSight makes a noise and the light comes on briefly (for a second or two) and then it goes off. No applications that require a camera (like Photo Booth) see the camera.
    I'm worried that this Mac mini may not have enough power to run the iSight, which is probably also an ominous sign for unpowered external Firewire drives.
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Cheers,
    Ashley.

    Well, it seems that I have found my sad answer!!! The very same issue. New MAC MINI, Old and nice isight camera, which works perfectly well with my powerbook G4 even now, but not with my new mac mini.
    I am sure I have the correct cable (it allowed migration of my entire admin account from my powerbook to my new mac mini), but it still does not work between isight and new mac mini.
    Having said this, I certainly remember plugging my isight to my new mac mini using this new adapter cable (800-400mb/sec - orange flat one) and it was working at least i saw my image.
    I do not remember which application i used (skype or ichat) but i certainly remember my satisfaction with my new cable. Since then i did not need video conversations, but yesterday i needed one, and i realized that my isight is not recognized by my macmini any more!
    I am saying this because it might not be only a power issue, it could be that multiple updates of i sight on my old powerbook passed in block to my new mac mini and this allowed isight working. In contrast, those update are not installable on Leopard operating systems.
    I think, since i saw those two devices (isight and new mac mini) working together nicely, i deleted my entire migration account (having found a different way of keeping only absolutely necessary things on my new mac mini). I was thinking about this all day today. Can this be it? drivers issue? the non-installable on Leopard updates that otherwise can be migrated en-block from the old system?
    I am sorry to confuse you all, if I did, but what do you think about it please?

  • My mac pro early 2009 keeps restarting with an unknown error

    CPU will start up and stay in log-in mode with no issues. Once you log in the CPU will stay on for a few minutes and then restart itself for no apparent reason.

    Pull the system drive. Or try command R to get into Recovery Mode (or use Option key)
    Try your backup clone. If you don't add that to your to do list and for now get out your OS X Install flash drive you saved and made or your DVD if you are on Snow Leopard.
    System is one thing. CPU refers only to the processor(s), not the disk drive which sounds to be corrupt, not the gpu which also could be an issue on yoru Mac Pro model (tell us - 2008 3,1 or whatever it is).
    Panic or Prohibitory sign could be further hardware issue, or just need to see if it will try with no hard drive and look for "?" a system to boot from.
    Reset SMC also in cases like this.

  • My mac pro early 2009 graphics fan is very loud

    I think something might be wrong with the video card. The fan is very loud at all times and gets louder on flash or video sites. The fan speed is usually double the other fans.

    Try smc reset to see if the fan slows down. 
    Add something like iStat Pro (or iStat Menus, Hardware Monitor, etc.) to measure the fan speeds and some of the temperatures.  Note none of these can measure the video card fan speed directly but knowing the various temps might indicate why it's thinks it needs to rev up.

  • Graphics card Mac Pro (Early 2008) What is supported

    I desperatly need a new Graphics Card for my Early 2008 Mac Pro.
    Bellow are the listed and supported graphics cards from apple site.
    None of the cards listed for early 2008 is possible (Very hard) to get here in Norway.
    I've read some treads here saying that ATI Radeon HD 5870 will work on Early 2008 Mac Pro.
    - Can someone please verify that this will work?
    - On the Note for early 2009 The radeon HD 5870 card requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 or later and it requires the use of both auxiliary power connections?
    Both auxiliary power connections. Do Early 2008 Mac Pro have this possibility?

    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (part number 630-9191 or 630-9897)
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
    ATI Radeon HD 4870, offered as an upgrade kit
    Note: The Radeon HD 4870 card requires Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later for use with the Mac Pro (Early 2008).

    Robban1978,
    I have 27 Apple Mac Pro's (between work/office, home, and clients), and have four Apple Mac Pro's (just at home) and I have purchased the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards (7970PE53GHZ) for each of the 27 computers and the graphics cards do work great in all of my Apple Mac Pro computers (2008, 2010, and two 2012 Apple Mac Pro).
    The only problem is that I have to boot directly into Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 to use the graphics cards because Diamond/Radeon/AMD have not released graphics drivers for the Radeon 7970 for OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion (as of yet?)
    See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20289120
    See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20289931
    See here:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4391012
    Hopefully AMD/Radeon/Diamond will release updated graphics drivers for OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion, and I believe the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics card is probably the best graphics card out on the market (based on it's price/performance), the only problem/issue is there are no OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion drivers for the Radeon HD 7970 series graphics cards yet.
    Hopefully AMD/Radeon/Diamond will work on developing and releasing OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion drivers.

    Try this:
    clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
    Or try a clean test system install on another drive
    A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
    Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
    Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
    Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
    2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current.  Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
    When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
    TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
    Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
    And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old.  Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

  • [SOLVED] Graphic Corruption with 3D and Wine 1.3.8 + Catalyst 10.11

    Hello!
    I'm getting graphic corruption with 3D games on my Arch Linux configuration using Wine and Catalyst. Tried World of Warcraft (also with opengl rendering) and Guild Wars - graphics look stretched and teared.
    Using ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I get same problem with guildwars in fullscreen when entering character select. I have to ctrl-alt-F1 to tty then back to get rid of the garbled graphics. Then my characters vanishes except for their armor/effects. Going into windowed mode stops the garbling of the graphics but the bodyless avatars remain. There is one error stands out in wine output but can't find anything specific to this error that helps.

  • MAC PRO (Early 2008) RAID CARD ISSUE - SYSTEM FREEZEHello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)  I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i m

    Hello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)
    I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i made a regular drive)
    a while ago i had to replace the RAID card battery, so i did this, over a year later the same thing happened again, but as previous just left it and the system seemed fine for ages, until last night i was working in PHOTOSHOP and everything just froze and the screen kind of appeared GREEN, could not do a single thing. So restarted the mac, this time grey screen for ages and a message appeared, (macs version of blue screen) (see attached).
    I restarted the machine and this time a flashing question mark folder!
    could not do a thing.
    so i found my copy of snow leopard and got the computer to run this and at least launch the DISK UTILITY and (Interestingly in the drop down menu RAID UTILITY was also in the menu) but it did not matter which utility i used the (RAID or DISK) neither could see any of drives, just the dvd drive.
    so looked around on you tube and various forums and discovered if i take out the RAID CARD and re-plug the main lead from the RAID card back in to the LOGIC BOARD I would be reverting the MAC to a normal regular non-RAID computer.
    After performing this HARDWARE task and inserting all three HDD, and running the DISK utility from the drop down menu via the SNOW LEOPARD disc.
    (interestingly since the RAID card had been removed the RAID UTILITY  from the drop down menu no longer appeared). running disk utility I can now only see the regular (spare) hdd and DVD Drive, but the two RAID HDD , again, still do not show up DISK UTILITY?
    O.K. so i could chuck out the RAID card (AND RAID HDD) and just go with a regular set-up, and run a back restore from Time Machine on a NEW hdd purchased.
    but what is wrong with the RAID, is the card at fault or are both HDD used for the RAID knackered? can i perform any tests, to see whats what?
    thanks for your help in advanced.

    hello people, the issue was in fact the GRAPHICS card nothing to do with the HDD or RAID system ( although this did cause issues with the RAID system it basically lost its way) below is my replay to another similar  problem some one else had!
    working in photoshop and then everything stopped working and the lot froze! only option was to force shutdown (via button).
    and try to restart, hoping all was fine, this was not the case :-(
    I had the added issue of the RAID card system, that i have, this was confused to say the lease and would not behave or work, causing the start up to hang.
    so i thought the HDD must be bust and the root cause. ( but soon learnt it was not the cause )
    ...bought a new HDD removed the RAID card and replugged the cable from RAID card into LOGIC board, ( making the computer act like any normal non-RAID system). I managed to install the OSX, using the snow leopard disk way. once the mac was running, i started to notice the screen would flicker and started to see 'artefacts'. so i started to reveal my symptoms to the web and forums and soon discovered that my graphics card could be the issue all along?.
    (nvidia geforce 8800gt 2x dvi).
    I read up on that a fix, could be either A. reply the thermal paste, as the card could be over heating or B. stick the card in the oven trick.
    Tried option A. first and nothing still issues, so last night took the plunge carried out option B. and ta da it worked! i even managed to run
    from my new HDD my lasted install OS X, absolutely fine. I then thought, maybe i could repair my RAID so replugged all the HARDWARD back in and
    carried out a disk repair and disk permissions on drives( took a small amount of time), via the SNOW LEOPARD disc - (Disk utilities) and this worked and now have my system working as it was just over 6 days ago.
    what was the cost to get this?  bought a new hdd so 40.00gbp and thermal paste and cleaner kit ( your still need to do this ) search video card trick on you tube.
    and renew thermal paste, approx 15.00gbp, technically i don't need the new HDD, but it was all part of the trial and error way i went. ( i do have extra storage as a result!)"

  • Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

    Hello
    I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
    I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
    Any help would be greatly apericated!
    Kind regards
    Philip

    Hi Paul
    You mention last week that you had  the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
    I was just onto  Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
    Can you tell me who you death with?
    I am really keen to get this card running!
