Big problem with new Mac Pro

Last night I left my computer to do some work, I set it to no sleeping but turn off the monitor. This morning I couldn't get any video feed from my computer, so I had to force it to shutdown. Now I try to turn it on and it won't boot completely into OS X. I see the Apple logo and then a sky blue screen but it just stops there. I tried to boot into the DVD installer that came with my system and the same thing! It will not boot into it completely! Stuck at blue screen. What's going on?

One thing I have learned over the years, a severely corrupt directory on a drive will prevent booting. Why? because even a CD/DVD still will try to read and mount the drive and detect other system volumes.
As a test, pull the drive and try rebooting. Then install OS X to another drive if you don't currently have a bootable clone.
Disk Warrior preventative maintenance or at first sign of trouble is pretty much a 'must.'

  • Serious Problem with New Mac Pro! Please help!!

    Ok, long story short.
    My Mac pro keeps crashing after I installed the latest 05-2007 security update. It seems to crash everytime I come back to the computer after the screensaver has been on for a while (its not the screensaver though) I reinstalled the newer v1.1 version of the update and I thought the problem had gone, but it hasnt as the computer just crashed again.
    I cannot see any correlation to any other programs, and im 99% sure its not a hardware issue. It does not seem to relate to parallels, or the screensaver, or itunes, or anything!
    And there is another crazy thing, when the computer restarts, it says that it recovered from a serious error and asks you to sumit a report, so i click the send report button and do you see a normal report window with all the code ? NO!!! Press report and the initial window just DISAPPEARS, nothing else happens!!! i.e it wont send the but to apple!! no wonder they haven't fixed it!!!

  • Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4

    I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
    any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
    this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
    i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
    I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
    I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
    should i reinstall cs4?
    my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
    thanks all...

    um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
    i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
    I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
    I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
    I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
    I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
    any help is still needed!

  • Davinci resolve render problem with new Mac Pro

    Hello,
    we are having strange glitching effects (as shown in attachments) while exporting from DaVinci Resolve.
    The project is in 4K.
    Maybe it is related to an heating issue? We have seen that it doesn’t manifests if we divide the exporting process into smaller chunks (single shots) but if we export the project all together after a while it comes up (like if it is correlated to the temperature of the graphic card).

    What should we do?
    Thanks.

    I'm experiencing the same issue and to say that I'm FURIOUS is an EUPHEMISM!
    This nightmare all started October 15th when I decide to make me a present and make my life easier upgrading my coloring gear with the "most powerful mac desktop" on the market.
    After spending almost 11K not only I wasted time and money and lost clients but all this is still not over at today's date after a 3rd MAC PRO desktop replacement and after going through apple care to have my 2 D700 and logic board replaced on the last one!!!
    Hours and hours of driving to the store, order a new replacement, wait days, reinstall drivers and softwares, render tests etc etc!!!
    After hearing from the apple "genius" it definitely looks cool! there are people out there that make transparent enclosures!
    It could look like an hairy armpit for what I care, I just want a machine that works for god sake!
    Shame on you Apple! Shame on you Blackmagic! Advertising this machine and your software as the best combination out there for color grading!
    FIX IT NOW!

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • I have a very big problem with my mac book pro. It continously looses the wifire connection. This happens every 5-10 minutes and is getting to be a very big irritation. I have tested my wifiresignal

    I have a very irritating problem with my MacBook Pro. It keeps loosing the wifi connection - every 5-1o minutes!!!
    I have testet the wifi signal and had my router checked - both are fine.
    Please tell me what I can do :-(
    John

    First you should check on another Wifi to see if it's your Lion machine.
    If it only occurs on your Wifi, then perhaps you have local interference and need to set the router on another channel far from others.
    You can install a free program called KisMAC that you set your Driver Preferences to Apple Airport Extreme Passive Mode, enter your Admin password and monitor your local Wifi signals, see if you cna pin point the cause of your interference or meddler.
    If your not running WPA2 with AES and a 12 plus random character/letter/number password for both Admin and Internet access use only then you should seriously consider doing so.

  • Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

    Hi for everyone!
    Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
    In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
    So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
    Thanks!
    With a big hope for a help!
    Alexey

    Hi!
    Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
    As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
    Personally for me - it is great news!
    Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)

  • Sond problems on new Mac Pros (2010)??? Buying new tower advice.

    Hi all!!!
    Has any one here have sound problems with the new Mac Pros (2010)??? I hear they
    still have sound "pops" or something like that as with the 2009 MP. I'm looking
    to buy a new MP since my G5 tower just died today (RIP) so need a new tower but need
    to know if this sound issue is still there. BTW any advice on what I should buy for my next tower
    would be welcomed too!!! I have a 2.5mhz LC G5 and I basically work with Photoshop, iMovie, Final
    cut Express and almost every thing else and games too. I herd that the single 6 core (3.33mhz) is
    a wise choice compared to a 12 core. Can I still use my 10.5 OSX (PPC) on the new Tower and then
    update it to 10.6? Will be getting 12gigs of ram from OWC, NOT paying $1000+ to get 12 gigs from
    Apple. Can I still use my 1.5GB/s(speed) hard drives? I know that the Mac Pros uses the 3Gb/s HD if
    so I could fill the Mac Pro with my 2 G5's HD.
    Thanks for any advice!!!!

    Why would Apple continue offering that vid card in the store as an option and still talk about
    it in the Mac section of it's web site???? Are you sure it's not the PC version of the 5870? I didn't
    read any info on the net about it (AppleInsider, MacRumours etc...) I've just made a search on Yahoo
    and Google and it says that it affects the 5770 too and what I could read it's PC related here's the
    clip:
    "+*AMD has confirmed that a previously reported issue of grey lines or screens with certain Radeon HD 5000 GPUs affects both the 5700 and 5800 series.*+
    +Earlier this week, it emerged that many 5000 series users were experiencing problems with crashing and grey or colored lines appearing on his or her display. The grey screens and hangups were occurring while users were gaming, watching movies or in some cases, when the computer was just sitting idle.+
    +When users contacted customer service they were told the issue was caused by a *Windows 7 update*. ATI recommended a clean install of the graphics card driver as a possible fix, stating this had solved some users problems. The ATI Catalyst 10.1 release notes (published Wednesday) note the problem as a known issue; however, *it's described as a problem affecting users of all versions of Windows and not just Windows 7.*+
    +Today Dave Erskine, an AMD spokesperson, informed us that, "only a small number of ATI Radeon HD 5800 series and ATI Radeon HD 5700 series cards are exhibiting the behavior," and that the team is closing in on a fix for the apparently software related issue.+
    +"The team is testing a driver hotfix and initial tests indicate that it resolves the issue," Mr Erskine said. "We need to test it further but we expect to make the hotfix available shortly."+
    So I don't think its Mac related. Thanks for the info but still getting that Vid card anyway.
    Thanks

  • Odd Wireless Mighty Mouse  behavior with new Mac Pro?

    Hi,
    I have a brand new Mac pro and Wireless Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard.
    The mouse however is not operating properly, it is jerky and slow to respond on a intermittent regular basis. I can move the cursor around the screen but it will stutter and jerk slowly then pick up ok?
    I had the mouse and keyboard with my iMac and it worked fine. I have run all updates and re-installed but to no avail. The keyboard is fine.
    I suspect it's a hardware issue with my new mac Pro but i'd love it if someone has any other possible causes.
    Thanks.

    Hi, there's a quite a few people with similar problems, including myself.
    My keyboard likes to drop it's connection for no apparent reason, which in turn likes to mess up my mouse and cause it to stutter for a while. Pairing up new devices can do this too, I've found.
    It's been thought that some Mac Pro's came with their WiFi and BT wires incorrectly fitted, if you have a search you should find a link to the tutorial if you want to try switching them around.
    That said, it didn't make any difference to my BT keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse, so I switched them back.
    I've been hoping for a software fix, but no joy so far, glad I got a three year warranty as standard.

  • VisualHub Problems with Nehalem Mac Pro?

    Just got a new 8x2.26 Mac Pro, installed VisualHub, and tried to do a conversion and received an "error opening codec for output stream #0.0". Tried everything I can think of, but keep getting that error. Works fine on MacBooks and iMac, just not on new Mac Pro.
    Does anyone have it working? I'd like to at least eliminate compatibility as a problem.
    (Handbrake works fine, just not as fast for my workflow so I'd rather get VisualHub going).

    In order to preserve VisualHub (or AudialHub) if you need to switch computers, you need to back up two things:
    1: The VisualHub (or AudialHub) app itself
    2: The conversion engine
    To back up the conversion engine, Copy the folder at: /Library/Application Support/Techspansion
    ...for good measure, you can also back up your Preferences file, containing your registration info in case you lose the original purchase e-mail. It's at:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.techspansion.visualhub.plist
    ...or for AudialHub:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.techspansion.audialhub.plist
    As far as I can tell, the two programs will continue to work in Snow Leopard, but I obviously can't predict the future or what Apple will do in it, though.
    Thanks for enjoying Techspansion's software. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm sorry I won't be making it with you anymore.

  • Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

    Hello Everyone:
    I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
    I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate.  Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
    Yes.
    Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    Not if you want full resolution.  You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
    It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
    No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want  to be as close to the display.

  • I need lots of USB ports with New Mac Pro, now what?

    because I'm in the audio business I needs lot of USB ports with my Mac Pro. On my current 2008 machine, that's not really an issue, with 5 ports on teh MP itself and I installed some USB hubs over PCIe that give me a total of 13 port. I'm not really sure what is the best way to get that amount on the new MP.
    Oh, and I really like the stability of my current set up. Before I went with an external USB Hub that always gave me headaches with ports not being recognized.

    The only two things I found so far are:
    a/ going back to the external USB hubs, which I find very frustrating to work with, because instable with connection and I would need to add some interface to go from USB to TB (which are also rather expensive at the moment)
    b/ use some external PCIe enclosures that are really expensive.
    So I havent really found the right solution for my situation. Which makes me hesitant to migrate to new MP at the moment.

  • VERY upset with new Mac Pro

    I just spent over $4,000.00 for a brand new Mac Pro, 8-Core, Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” processors.
    I'm still at the point where I may not be blaming this new computer 100%, but when you upgrade to this extent you expect everything to go faster. You certainly don't expect for things to take longer.
    I upgraded from a G5 (not exactly sure what model) running 10.4.11, couldn't go any higher.
    My biggest complaint is it takes LONGER to do things!!?? I feel like I'm back in 1999 or 2000. To open an Excel file takes, no kidding, 3-4 minutes. To open a Word file, about 3-4 minutes. I have the newest version of Office there is. Dreamweaver CS5 is slower than ever and jumpy, buggy, what ever word you wanna use. Sending files over to an external server takes 200-300% longer.
    I'm really not sure what is going on. Maybe a font conflict issue as I brought all my fonts over from old computer.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Sorry, and of course wish you had asked us first. And read through
    http://macperformanceguide.com/index.html - check "topics" there are 100+ with guides to buying, upgrade etc.
    One tip: Do a clean install on another drive
    Don't migrate applications, install them fresh
    make sure everything is current
    Your Mac boots by default and requires 64-bit drivers for 64-bit kernel mode
    The idea is more cores isn't faster, faster cores are, and even stock 2.8 4-core is a worthy system. Next choice: 3.2 4-core or sweetest of all is 3.33GHZ 6-core
    Add RAM to 6 x 4GB or 3 x 8GB for good measure.
    Avoid any plug-in or app that is PowerPC and needs to use Rosetta.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
    Fonts have been known to conflict, duplicates, even corrupt.
    Of course hard to resist migrating. Or taking time, but G5 owners have had to redo everything and that does work.
    A test: do a clean install on another hard drive, do the updates, try that and see how well it goes.
    Keep boot drive to just OS + applications and mini-home folder
    2nd drive for media library, data
    3rd scratch, with a small 30GB Mac OS X just for repairs and emergency use
    Try a new user account.
    See if you are booting in 32-bit mode
    Repair your system with FSCK
    Do Safe Mode once
    Any cables, peripherals, out of date drivers for printers, external hard drives.
    Hard drives that were formatted by G5 using Apple Partition Map should be reformatted to GUID. All. If you brought your old G5 system drive over, move the files to a data drive and reformat. Don't leave the OS from G5 around.

  • Slow render speed with new Mac Pro / NVIDIA 8800

    I bought a new Mac Pro to replace a dual G5 because I have a number of Motion projects to finish quickly. My local dealer recommended the NVIDIA 8800 as it has 512 mb RAM (versus 128 on my old machine). I'm finding that the render time is worse than with the G5. I have yet to successfully render a 1 minute segment using Compressor (I've left it to run overnight several times with no success).
    In Activity Monitor I'm seeing this message: CompressorTranscoder (Not Responding). But none of Batch Monitor, Compressor or Motion are unresponsive - not indicating any hung applications.
    I've read that version 10.5.5 has compromised the NVIDIA card with Motion but haven't been able to get any reliable corroboration. As the Mac Pro shipped with 10.5.5 I can't really roll back to an earlier version.
    Any advice? Anyone with similar experiences? I'm trying to render on a new iMac with 4 GB of RAM (with the ATI 2600 video card) but it doesn't seem to be working as it is an hour in and shows at least three more hours.
