Wake From Sleep Reboots New Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8-core 10.5.2

Add me to list of users with this problem.
I bought NEW computer yesterday.
Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8-core 10.5.2
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
Yesterday, I ZeroWrote the OEM Apple hard drive and Installed 10.5.1 from OEM Install disks -- ran all updaters, repaired permissions numerous times during build.
Only 2gb OEM Apple RAM installed
Added on (from original installers): CS3, Office 2008, Toast 8.03, Stuffit 12.01, Silverfast AI 6.5x (Epson 4990). It appeared to be waking properly during the build.
Last night, last Software Update updater ran was ATI RADEON HD 2600 XT Firmware UPC 1.0.
This morning, wake from sleep rebooted machine.
Apple had me disconnect all cables, including power cable for a minute and then plug back in.
This worked for a couple few minute sleeps, but after lunch it rebooted again waking it from sleep.

I got my 8-core StartUp Disk deselected and have had only one auto reboot when waking from sleep.
HOWEVER, now I have heavy vertical bands twice now when it wakes up my 30" Cinema Display:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6919620#6919620
It had wide vertical banding, white edges in corners and edges, and white fog over entire screen that seemed burned into the screen -- it eventually corrected itself back to normal after being on over a couple hours.
Second time, I had wide vertical banding, 6" and 3" wide with rows of white, green, blue pixels.
I connected the 30" to the old Mac Pro -- 10.4.11 -- AND THE BANDING GRAINY SCREEN APPEARED CONNECTED TO THE OTHER MAC like it was burned in the LCD.
So it appears the banding is in the monitor the monitor.
The burn-in cleared itself after being on about 120 minutes.
*It seems the new Mac Pros have some devilish issues with sleep on their Apple Cinema Displays to the point it is destroying the monitors -- or it is coincidence...*

Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon Running Slow

Hi everyone!
I'm a professional photographer and could use some advise, and thanks for your help in advance!
I have a Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 gigs of 1066 MHz DDR3 of memory, running on OS 10.9.5, and my main drive for applications is 1TB and has about 420 GB free. I have various other hard drives for storage.
I use Chrome, Lightroom 4, Photoshop CC2014, Blogstomp, Spotify or iTunes, and I have Backblaze Backup running continuously.
When I first got my computer I didn't have any problems, but over the past few months it's been running super slow. I know that LR4 has issues, but I want to make sure that there isn't anything else I need to look into before getting more memory. I mean even Chrome opening up has the beachball.
Thanks!

The output from that, post it, can be useful.
More details on the hardware from it too: amount of memory (24-48GB RAM), any changes or upgrades.
Good tips and advice can be found here, also pro graphics
Macintosh Performance Guide Articles & Reviews
My guess is this is a 5,1 2010-2012. You could use a GTX 680 or later, it has good PCIe (the 2009 is somewhat weaker and crippled by sharing slots 3&4)
A Samsung XP941 512 $525 delivers 1100MB/sec reads and 900MB/sec writes to supercharge your system - one of the best and few such, similar to the same SSD blade used in the nMP 6,1. Lightroom and CS love to be able to load and write scratch, graphic libraries. Bootable. You could use a smaller 256GB $275 for system in slot #3 and one for data and scratch in slot #4 if you wanted to go full out.
You said it was fine originally so maybe something you installed, or an upgrade to the OS or something else that Etrecheck should help show.

Problem with mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core and Mini Display Port

Finally I see the button to create new post!
I would like to explain a problem I have with my mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core Intel Xeon processors and the ATI Radeon HD 4870.
I have two 30 "Apple. After buying the new Mac Pro is one of the two monitors, only with the monitor all black, small horizontal lines.
This happens only to the monitor connected to the mini display port... So if you reverse it monitors the problem always moves on the board connected to the Mini Display Port.
Apple has already changed my video card and the adapter but the problem is still there.
Someone can tell me if it is the ATI Radeon HD 4870 that has problems to have two monitors 30 "? Or it could be that the mini display port that is hard to read the two monitors and when the background is black (RGB-255-255-255) makes these lines?
Through the Apple store I then bought a new card (EVGA GeForce GTX 285 "). Unfortunately, after three weeks of waiting is not yet arrived. Proof that I want to do before returning to telephone assistance is whether on a card that has two dual-link DVI ports normal all goes well.
Sorry for the repetition of messages, but my English is very bad. This is the first time I connect to this site support

In any case, this system does not support two 30".
I honestly don't think the 4870 with that adapter can support two 30". Just using the adapter itself would not give me the normal resolutions on my 30, where as the DVI port did. Luckily for me the adapter worked fine on my 20".
Truly I don't know why Apple would sell a card and not say just what displays it can power.
So I worked around my problem fine but I chose to get the 285 also. My question to you though is, did Apple make you pay for it? Was it part of a deal with them because the Radeon didn't work? You might want to talk to them about that. That is one expensive card.

Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices.

Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core (4cores)) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices. Does this need to be done through the Graphics card expansion or a additional card to be inserted?

No. There is no way to upgrade any Mac Pro older then the cylindrical 2013 Mac Pro to ThunderBolt.
The requirements of Thunderbolt require a totally redesigned motherboard and chip set rather any plugin cards. These motherboard were never developed for older Mac Pros.

FCP 5 on Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core - project won't open

I feel SICK. I bought this Mac Pro and a new monitor, transferred all my data from my iMac and tried to open my FCP 5 project and what opened was a "new" project screen... yet there was a tab with my project's name on it as if it should have been there. Can I run my fcp 5 on this new Mac Pro?

I was afraid of that. However, in the the last 15 minutes, I opened another project and that opened, seemed to play correctly, so I'm confused. Is 5.0 not for Intel because of speed? Or actual editing capabilities? (Just need an education on that). So when I get FCP 2, once I've opened the program, can it read FPC 5.0 projects? And will I be able to convert the 5.0 projects into the FCP 2?
Good to know about the gigs. We ordered 4 the other day, so we should have 5 total since 1 came with the computer. Thanks for your guidance.

Changing from G5 to new Mac Pro system

Hello Mac users,
I did search the forum for answers to my question, did not find any right away.
I have been using a Mac PPC G5 since 2004 or so. I am running Leopard 10.xx on this PPC. Due to requirements in software (seems more new software is for Intel version only) I have decided to break down and get a new Intel Mac Pro (dual 2.8, etc).
I have 2 G-Tech external firewire drives, and 1 internal SATA, and 1 external SATA to Firewire drive. All these drives are formatted as Extended, non-journaling (only 1 partition on each). Will the new mac read these drives without issue? I plan to place the external SATA/Firewire (It is in an ICY Dock) in to one of the spare bays in the new system. This drives carry the bulk of my data.
I have many applications, iPhoto 6, iMovie 6, Aperture, Final Cut Studio, and a few others. I plan to re-install all these apps on the new machine. I might try to copy my pref files for final cut and soundtrack to the new system.
I would also like to copy all the data under my user name on the "Macintosh HD" to the same username on the new mac. I plan to have the same user names on the new system.
I am trying to cover all the pitfalls in moving from my old system to the new one. I have seen postings recommending not using the setup assistant or the migration assistant to accomplish these tasks, and I do not mind reloading the apps, too much, particularly if it is safer!
any tips or advice on the process will be appreciated.

Yes.

Check your applications for compatibility; unless you need to use the older iLife applications, don't install them. If you need to use the older iMovie only, use this download instead of the version on the PowerMac. Preference files don't need to be checked.
I would also like to copy all the data under my user name on the "Macintosh HD" to the same username on the new mac. I plan to have the same user names on the new system.
Create the accounts in the same order they were initially created.

New Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz Nehalem Quad and FCP and Compressor

When something goes well for a change it deserves its rightful place in the posts of this discussion forum. I just completed my hook-up and an initial test on my new Nehalem quad Mac Pro, and I must say that once in a while things do work out.
1. The noise level is non-existant. I literally had to check to make sure that the unit was on. This in comparision to my G5 which sounds like the SST on take off. I might now actually hear the audio on my video monitor.
2. The speed is INCREDIBLE! Prior to shutdown, I ran a test by sending an hour's worth of mixed XDCAM EX/HDV footage to Compressor on my G5. At the highest quality 2 hour setting for DVD encoding (double pass) it took the G5 12.5 hours to encode. Running the same clip through the same version of Compressor in the Mac Pro took approximately 45 minutes. This roughly translates into a 16.5X increase in speed over my dual 2.5 Ghz processor G5. I'M SOLD! And for now, the Honeymoon continues.
The only drawback (besides the price) is that I had to buy a $100 adapter/power supply to enable my old 25" Cinema screen run on the new video card.
Thanks

Mac Pro 1,1 (all Mac Pro models come with Xeon).
What matters is cleaning the X1900 of dust and from clogging intake and exhaust - every three months.
Run Apple Hardware Test from your OEM DVD.
Install SmcFanControl 2.x and keep the fans rpm to 800-900 instead of 499-599 base as minimum at least.
Monitor temperatures with Hardware Monitor or similar.
Have you been looking to see in System Profile: Memory if there are any errors?
Normally, clone backup update weekly and running Disk Warrior at the same time should be done to spot disk directory and file system problems before they get worse. Or any time your system freezes.
Freeze... and what you have 90% of the time is a corrupt directory and other errors.
At which time you may need to restore if you can't fix the problem. And don't rely on only Apple DU First Aid to find and repairs any and all errors.
For Snow Leopard maybe a flashed ATI 4870 to replace the X1900.
You may need to start over from scratch to get things stable once you find what is happening, and work with a test system until then with some trial and error. Format/initialize and clean install of 10.6.x for the OEM 10.4.7+.
At nearly 4 yrs now since it came out, not sure if you have plans for a new one.

Downgrade 10.5.1 to 10.4.11 on the new MAC Pro's (early 2008) 8 core

Hi all
I'm an AVID MediaComposer user and I was using it on a PC until the beginning this year I decided to go to MAC. I ordered the MAC pro according AVID's specs and I received the new model (I can't get anymore the old Mac Pro's - said the dealer). I noticed that even the new version of MC adrenaline V.2.8 will not run on the 10.5.1. Only on the 10.4.11. I tried to install 10.4.11 on this machine without any luck using the OS CD's. I even tried to install an internall 10.4.11 fitted disk drive but it wouldn't startup. I phoned the dealler and he said: "No way we can downgraded to 10.4.11. Sorry." The same thing was told by the Apple support line!!
Is that truth???!
Is there any way of doing it?
I need to start working and, if that's true, I'll need to go back to PC... Possibly I shouldn't have gone to MAC
Regards

There are a couple of things you could do......
1. Order a NVidia 7300 card from Apple for $149 & run that with a cloned 10.4.11 system, that works fine for 2d apps and video in a 2006 mac pro
I am not aware of any other incompatibilities with your motherboard but that is something you would need to test ! I am sure about the video card you have needing 10.5 though.
2. Offer to swap your mac pro for an earlier model. Try to get one still under warranty and find someone who will offer a cash adjust, if that matters to you. There must be heaps who would jump at the offer, and from your point of view it may just be worth it .....

Mac Pro 2.66 ghz, Intel Core 2 duo Upgradeability

I want to purchase a 2.66ghz Mac pro, now in my price point, but want to know if I can upgrade the Procs from the TWO Dual cores to two Quads to make an 8 core sometime next year. Can the existing MOBO handle this upgrade or do I have to replace it?

A voice from the past!
I've been lurking around
Haven't seen you around these parts lately. Hope that rig is smoking fast! and I suppose you'll sell again in a year when there are more "mature" systems (the next update will likely come someday but be a stepping stone).
The new rig is definitely faster even with day-to-day operations (no doubt from the increased HD speed, RAM, and 2.66-3.0GHz speed of each core). When I crunch video or do heavy multitasking is where the difference is definitely noticeable, though!
I'm not going to upgrade the upgrade when the next processor comes out, only because everything i read indicates 10-15% tops speed increase over what I have now. That's nothing like the 50%+ I got over the quad in rendering. I -will- try to get the next video card option as an upgrade kit, however, if it is offered. I like the 1900xt, but wish something even faster was available for Motion rendering.
And you're right about selling next year I try to keep upgrade after every major revision because the cost to do so is so small at that moment.

Fan noise unbearable ; Mac Pro 3.2 GHz 8-core, purchased in March...

Hi,
The noise from the top rear fan has steadily become unbearable. There is a constant rattle that I can even hear from an adjacent room.
This is not a tick tick tick of the fan hitting a ribbon cable - or the sound of a jet enginethat occurs when the fans get stuck in top gear. It is a constant and irritating rattle like a badly oiled or misaligned wheel. Or a cheap fan.
I am a film composer and can not work with this noise in my room! I certainly can no longer record acoustic instruments anywhere near my MacPro.
Do I get the machine replaced? The fan is sealed and looks nearly inaccessible. I have removed the drives from bay 3 and 4 to see if that made a difference. It didn't.
Help!
Thanks

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your reply.
I've sinced been looking at other forums on the web and found this thread here at Apple discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1511831&start=30&tstart=0
The sound my Mac is making is also like a noisy fridge... Does that sound like a power supply issue?
I also have the dreaded ATI 2600 card. And a WD drive...
The noise really seems to be coming from that sealed enclosure above drives 3 and 4. What else is in there apart from the power supply? Do you know?
Cheers.

OSX 10.5 leopard and mid 2010 Mac Pro 2.4 Ghz 8 core Westmere

I'm wondering if said mac will boot with 10.5 or does it require at least 10.6?

I guess I should have known, but it's really been a long time since I've made a leap to actual current state of the art tech,. Thank you all for quickly responding.

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OSX 10.9.2
I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
"After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

> I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
Ugh. That causes so many problems.
The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.

PP CC 2014 Gets Extremely slow the larger my project gets on a new Mac Pro

My editing team and I have 3 of the new mac pro 3.7 GHZ Quad Core with 12 GB Ram, OSX10.9.3. We edit a TV show and the longer the timeline gets the slower PP gets. The problem is gradual, but by the time I get a timeline that is over 10 minutes long PP becomes very slow and unresponsive. Once my show reaches the 30 minute mark it's extremely slow. The main problem is with playback. I hit play and it takes anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds or more to even start playing. I'm editing footage from a Sony FS 700 and a Sony PXW-Z100, 1080i footage with no effects. Color correction and audio mixing is painfully slow once my timeline is complete. We converted from FCP7 and never had this problem with that program on the same computers. This problem is the same on all 3 computers so this can't be an isolated issue with just one computer.

Sorry about that. You say you work in a team environment. Are you with CC for Teams or do each of you have individual licenses?
Do you work with networked drives? How does the project work if media is on local drives?
Do you have a deep organization system where the media is in a folder inside a folder, inside a folder, etc.? What happens if you simplify naming conventions and folder organization?
Do you use long names for your clips and sequences? What happens if you try shorter clips names and sequences.
Do you store the preview files and media cache database locally and on a fast drive? If not, move these files to a local drive.
Does the audio sample rate match sequence settings precisely? Mismatched settings can cause performance issues.
Do you use the Warp Stabilizer effect liberally? The project can bloat if too many Warp Stabilizer effects are added.
Is the project file migrated from an earlier version of Premiere Pro? Never update a project file to a new version of Premiere Pro. Remain on the current version until that project is complete.
If so, any or all of these items could be the root cause(s) of the problem for poor performance. Do some tests and post back about your findings.
Thanks,
Kevin

New mac pro recognises usb 2.0 as 1.0 - super slow data transfer!

updated my new mac pro 3.5 GHz 6-core intel xeon E5 to mac OS 10.9.2 today.
all periphals (standalone hubs, hubs in monitors, harddisks) are now recognised not as is (USB 2.0) but as USB 1.0 (ie transfer rate 12 Mbit/s), no matter whether they are plugged into a port of the mac pro directly or thru a hub. i do not get anything done anymore!
any advice how to get back to USB 2.0?
thank you!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.
