Frozen mac pro 2007

Hi guys ,
Yetserday is was working in logic pro 9 when all of a sudden the image froze and lines appeared on my screen.
The audio kept running but i could not stop logic.
I had to shut down the mac using the power button.
When i start up now , the lines are still there. You see the apple logo and loading wheel appearing but when they go away the mac does not go to desktop view.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to solve it ?
I have the 8 core mac pro from 2007 and i'm runnig os x 10.6.8

the bar fills up
It is doing the equivalent of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) while starting up. It then loads only a minimal set of Drivers, but NO third-party Drivers and NOT including the graphics card driver, and re-draws the screen in simple mode.
If "the stuff" does not show on your screen in simple mode, your graphics card may have died.
The only thing simpler is to Alt/Option Boot, because that code is all in ROM. If you cannot see the Icons for every bootable Volume, that is likely a graphics card problem.

I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

Well, there are tricks in the Internet to install OS X Mavericks in that computer based on the use of emulators (because you cannot run OS X Mavericks due to your Mac firmware). However, they are risky and illegal, and we cannot provide support for them.
Instead, you can only upgrade your Mac Pro to OS X Lion officially > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Mac Pro 2007 can't upgrade to Yosemite

Hi
I am unable to upgrade to Yosemite. Is it possible or do I have to give away my Mac Pro 2007 and get a new one?
Please advice.
Thanks!

Start here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
After download and before running do some housekeeping:
Make a Lion installer (this is for flash but I used a small partition on another disk drive to be faster)
http://liondiskmaker.com/
I recommend installing on another drive, formatted with Lion Installer.
Now would be an excellent time for an SSD. Other than using a 2.5" adapter don't feel there is anything special EXCEPT to install TRIM Enabler.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/
The SSD was the biggest improvement in 8 yrs. The XP941 would be faster and leave you with 4 drive bays.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147366
Is the only PCI device that boots all Mac Pro models, does not use a 'controller' only an adapter to use M.2 style in PCIe (and unique to Mac Pro that it will boot while PCs X99 still have new BIOS our 8+ year old EFI works, something that cannot be said for Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD card and others).
Just a hint and push into the world of SSD

Belkin Bluetooth not working in Mac Pro 2007

Hi,
I've got a Mac pro 2007 and bought a Belkin Mini Bluetooth adapter via the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/nl/product/TW622ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY). I was hoping if I bought something from the Apple store It would work.
The mini adapter seems to work, Look at screenshot https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598441276491332930 Apologize for the dutch screenprint, but the mark before "Detecteerbaar" can be translated by "detectable".
But if I look at the system preferences I see this: https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598441278085536498 Translated it means Bluetooth is disabled. To use bluetooth you need to enable it. But both checks are grey and I cant change anything in this screen.
I did a check (without the belkin mini bluetooth adapter) on my Mac Book and it detects my Nokia telephone.
Using the Belkin mini bluetooth adapter in my Mac Pro it does not pickup any bluetooth signal.
I also tried to do a PRAM reset in my Mac Pro, but that doesn't change anything.
In the system overview (about this mac) https://picasaweb.google.com/aseesink/Bluetooth#5598442444721135026 it looks like the adapter is working. But from my experience it is not working.
Is there anyone else who got this adapter working? Would love to use my magic mouse with it.
Thank you in advance for helping.
Andre

Problem solved!
I just found an interesting article here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13263724#13263724
The part with bluetooth explorer worked for me.
I can see all my bluetooth devices now including my magic mouse.

Mac Pro 2007 No Power to Hard Drives

While changing hard drives in my Mac Pro 2007 (model 2,1) today, I apparently shorted something out and there is no longer power being provided to any of the hard drives or the super drive. On first boot attempt, the fans went into over drive and I smelled something burning, so I quickly turned it off and reinstalled the original drive.
I am able to boot up off a Yosemite installer USB flash drive and run Disk Utility - confirmed that none of the disks are visible. Everything else on the computer seems to be running fine.
Does this sound like a power supply issue or I have a fried something on the main logic board?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Upgrade mountain lion to mac pro 2007

Have older Mac Pro, early 2007. Can I uprade to Mountain LIon . The online requirement says 2008 or later

If you are willing to endure the crushing complexity of it, there is a Hackintosh solution that allows the loading of EFI-64 work-alike software in RAM (rather than in firmware). This would allow the loading and running of 10.8 on your "too-old" Mac if this is exceptionally important to you.
• This solution may require additional RAM, which is quite expensive for these older Macs.
• If you have serious problems, there is no support available for such a set-up.

Mac Pro 2007 with 3 displays?

I have a Mac Pro 2,1 (late 2007).
I'm running 2 displays via my Nvidia quadro fx 4500 video card. These are standard DELL 22" monitors (DELL 2208WFP)
I'd like to run QT videos (via my music software DAW) to a Toshiba 42" LCD screen. It has old VGA input (along with S-Video and RCA).
I'm currently using a FW Canopus box to do this (via S-Video), but it's no longer behaving well with my softwarre MOTU Digital Performer 8) and OS (10.6.8).
Is there any way I can run this 3rd diplay (Toshiba) without having to install a 2nd video card? (i.e. will a DVI 'splitter' do this?).
Thanks!

Matrox makes a "Triple Head2Go" device that will split computer video over multiple screens.

Or, if you want a real HDTV signal, look for a card from BlackMagic or AJA.

Is Mac Pro 2007 compatible with new 6Gb/s SSD harddrive?

Hi,
I'm using my old Mac Pro from 2007 for music production. It works very well, but I want to upgrade it with a new SSD harddrive.
Is the Mac Pro from 2007 compatible with a new SSD SATA 6GB/s harddrive, like a Crucial MX100?
As I see it, there are three possibilities:
1) It will run fine.
2) It will run, but only on half the speed (3GB/s).
3) It will not run.
What will happen?
Thanks for helping me out.
All the best,
Anders from Denmark

RE: SATA Bus speed:
Most Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.
Even most common SSD drives are not bottlenecked by SATA 2.

Why is Mountain Lion not available for Mac Pro 2007???

Why is Mountain Lion not available for Macpro 2007 eventhough this computer is not having old generation hardware like of 15years ago's computers!! I am surprised to know about that. when this mac pro have 2 xeon processor, 8GB ram, OS 10.7.5 (Lion) etc etc. so why is this not compatible for mountain lion???
Very Sad for us - the buyer of so costly Macpro ....
so does the Apple want to say we should buy or upgrade our purchased costly apple products every 5 years ??!!

This is a user forum. We are all users like yourself. Conjecture about Apple's products is not appropriate discussion in these forums.

Upgrading from Mac Pro (2007) to Mac Pro (2009)

I'm attempting to get a few simple questions answered before upgrading my current Mac Pro (2 x 2.66 Dual Core Intel) to a Mac Pro (8-Core 2.26Ghz). I visited the local Apple store to see if I could get my questions answered and left having concerns since the Apple reps could not provide me with solid answers.
The gist of my question is can I pull my existing drives from my old Mac Pro and put them into the new Mac Pro without having to re-build the complete system. The answers that got were:
- Sure no issues, everything will be fine
- No you have to rebuild
- and it will work but you will lose performance because of missing drivers
So I'm hoping that someone under this forum would be able to provide me with a definitive answer...
Here is my current Mac Pro configuration:
- Snow Leopard 10.6.1
- 4 x 1.5TB Internal Disks
- Drive 1 OS
- Drive 2 Data
- Drive 3 & 4 Raid 0
- 2 x Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT graphics cards
So with the configuration above. If I purchase a new Mac Pro 8-Core system will I be able to just pull the 4 x 1.5TB drives from the old and put them into the new and have the system come up and work fine? Or do I have to rebuild?
Last question, will the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT card work in the new Mac Pro?
Thanks in advance!!!

As I said, just boot away. Obviously graphic cards have to stay behind (wouldn't really want those).
you don't even have to worry about what slot the drives go in (but never, ever be w/o backups, doubly so for RAID).
I will say this, personally I initialize and rebuild drives and arrays rather frequently, with a new OS, and sometimes knowing or discovering that there are changes to Disk Utility and arrays. And never be w/o Disk Warrior.
So in one sense, it might be a good opportunity if you have gone six months or didn't recreate your array with the arrival of 10.6 (though 10.5.0 was so iffy with disks it was best to sit it out for another six months, gotta watch those "dot zero" early releases).
One wish, that Apple would offer the GTX 285 as BTO for $250 at most, show they stand behind it in some way or 'endorse' it? They seem to EOL their graphic cards regularly, like every year.
Choosing RAM and cpu configuration is often hardest part.

Mac Pro 2007 with Nvidia 8800GT screen redraw problems on Mac OS 10.5.2

I seem to be having a slight screen redraw problem. Such as when grabbing the browser window and moving up and down it seems the redraw can't keep up,also seems problematic when watching flash or other video online. It does it in the finder too for windows listings or in icon view there is a fluttering or flashing back and forth, kind of like a white super split second flash when dragging the window box smaller or larger not as bad as when making smaller. Hard to describe but my original Ge-force that I pulled was not having these characteristics. I figure that the drivers need tweaking. In windows I am not getting these results. I have newer boot camp installed as well as the leopard graphics update done so I am trying to see if others are having a slight problem or maybe it is me.
Also I make certain it is not heat related as I monitor that and it does not matter at what temp it is.

Here's another similar experience -- and my solution.
I bought a Quad-core 2.8GHz (8GB RAM) Mac Pro in May and got the "better" Nvidia 8800GT. I thought I was happy, but there were redraw issues after sleeping and a display "roughness" I found annoying. Upgrading to OSX 10.5.4 didn't help.
I found it to be mostly absent on startup, but sleeping the Mac would bring it on. I.e., after sleep, the relatiionship between the 8800GT would be different than before. when I logged out and in again, the problem woud vanish. No what I expect from a "superior" graphics card. I ascribed it to funky drivers from Apple.
The store I bought the Mac from offered to swap for my suggestion of an ATI HD 3870, so I went for it about a week ago.
This card is far smoother than the 8800GT and just as fast in rendering benchmerks for graphics. (I'm not a gamer.) I am a happy camper! There is no stuttering, oddball redraw, or jerkiness as there had been with the 8800. It's perfect! Never mind that it may be 5% slower for gamers, it feels faster for my use.
BUT NOTE: As I now see from reading several forums, I wasn't alone is getting a screaming-Mimi at first! The first 3870 ran at nearly full fan speed at power-up. The speed changed a little with resolution changes on my big Mitsubishi CRT monitor, and actually stopped when I switched to 1080x1920 @ 72Hz! Then the fan would start and quit, start and quit randomly -- convincing me it was defective.
I returned this RED-shrouded unit and the store replaced it, this time with (randomly) a BLUE-shrouded unit. (Slightly lower serial.)
Bottom Line: This replacement 3870 is quiet as a mouse! Fan runs near-silently at startup and after hours of regular use in a 75ºF room. I get the distinct feeling that a bunch of cards with wonky fan controllers were built, and some of us got 'em.
Bad News: The ATI HD 3870 does NOT support multiple refresh rates under Windows XP-SP2 booting the Mac Pro, with or without Boot Camp drivers installed. No version of the ATI drivers fixes this, and ATI does not officially support Boot Camp yet. You can choose a resolution okay, but you're stuck at 60Hz refresh -- a pain for those of us who hate 60Hz flicker. (I like 100Hz refresh.)

Mac Pro (2007) wont turn on

I bought a Mac Pro last May, and today our mains fuse went, and it will no longer turn on. There is no smell of burning, and it is pretty dust free. I changed the fuse in the plug to no avail.
Is there anything I can do? I don't have applecare.
What support can I get? It's under 12months old, so under limited warranty. I am no where near an apple store though, so can't just walk in.

You should have been running your system on a UPS for one.
When you need to reset the system, there is an SMC RESET button under drive #4 or zap pram/nvram or unplug from the wall for 30 seconds.
A Mac Pro should be on its own circuit with only little other equipment (no space heaters, window A/C, refrig etc).
