How do I wake my mac pro from sleepmode

How do I disable my computer from sleepmode?? It won't turn on I've tried everything

not original poster, but same issue on Mac Pro desktop, and I have run Disk Utility from startup disk, reset PRAM, and unplugged the unit for 15+ seconds and restarted. Running Lion, although condition started in Snow Leopard. Would a dead battery possibly cause this condition? Any thoughts?

How do I prevent my Mac Pro from hanging up in a start/stop loop?

My Mac Pro has a strange behavior I need help with. This computer is used almost exclusively for audio recording in my studio. I run Cubase 4 as my primary sequencing software. Everything will be going fine during a session, and then the software will abruptly hang up in a *start/stop loop*, stuttering back and forth between these two functions for up to 2 minutes before stopping. During this loop problem, the start/stop transport buttons alternately light up and the song starts and stops. Nothing I have tried will interrupt the problem. It just runs its course and then stops, usually between 30 - 90 seconds.
Interestingly, the same behavior shows up in other applications and in the Finder. In Quicktime and iTunes, it shows up as a start/stop loop. In the finder, it will shuttle back and forth between two related functions and beep each time. In word, it will show up as a key stick, typing the same letter over and over.
Needless to say, this is all very frustrating and embarrassing when clients are here. Any help will be greatly appreciates. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I'd begin with repairing your drives with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior; clone your system to another drive, and check for corrupt files and prefs.

How do I reinstall Leopard on my mac pro from my mac book pro?

How do I reinstall my Snow Leopard os into my mac pro from my mac book pro? I have the disks, both run on Snow Leopard. I am have a grey screen problem and nothing has fixed it yet, so I was told to reinstall in from another computer because when I tried to load from disk to mac pro the mac pro would start to load, but then stop at the same place.

Once you get it to work, be sure to download and apply the lastest SL COMBO updater. for 10.6.8 (or any later version). This will ensure that the latest drivers & such for that newer hardware gets installed and the resulting OS can run optimally.

There should be an H&R block format. Windows or no.
Just like JPEG or MP3 is a format readable by Mac or PC.
The main cause of PC vsWindows files issues is in "text only" files that require "line terminators". Windows line terminaotrs are <CR><LF>, UNIX is <LF>, Mac can be <CR> or a <LF>. The text editors that are PC-files-only cannot properly read text lines terminated with <LF> only.

How can i change the setting on a mac from someone i bought a Mac pro from to mine?

I recently bought a Mac Pro from a friend of mine who's used t for some months. I want to change the System name and other settings such as app Store, calendars etc to my own profile as i still see his name come up all the time. i cannot update Apps on the store as it keeps asking me for his password.
please help!

Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

Mac OS X 10.5.8
MacPro1,1
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
OpenCL
requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600

It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

. I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour - i am using HP Envy 120 and can not print in colour. when testing the printer, the printer prints in colour, but trying to print from the mac book pro - it prints in black and white. i can't find an option that

I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.

Why can't I access my mac pro from other computers

I can't seem to access files from my Mac Pro from other computers on our network. It asks for a username and password, which it says is always incorrect. Any ideas on how to fix this? We have two main workstations that need to access a single Fire Wire 800 DRobo array that's connected to the Mac Pro tower.
Thanks!

File Sharing must be enabled on the Mac Pro. in System Preferences > Sharing
System Preferences > Accounts > Guest account must be present and must allow File Sharing, but need not allow guest login.
Although the login pane appears on the screen of the second computer, the login it is asking for is an account and password that is valid on the Mac Pro (the computer whose files you want to share). The number of bullets in the password field is fixed -- it has no idea how long the password is. Passwords are case sensitive.

Hello, can i use the new magsafe connector on a mac pro from 2008?

Hello, I have a mac pro 15' from 2008, and the connector just stop working, in fact I have 2 connectors, because I broke a mac pro brand new, and then I had to buy this one, so both connectors stop working all of a sudden, and now when I went to Apple Store, the anwwer I got was "is not possible to repair" and we don't have to deliver before 4 months. I am atonished! 4 months?? How is that possible, and they show to me in Apple online the answer and it say 4 months indeed. Now I am looking to the new magsafe connector, that was made to the new mac pro and the deliver is the next day. My question is
can I use this one on my mac pro from 2008? Because i reada few things that there were complains that the new did not work. Can i get some help one this please?

Guys we have a legit question here about a power cord and you guys are going back and forth here. If you guys want to ccontinue can you please just give each other your emails.
ANYWAY - What I know of the magsafe cord is s different sized port.
All magsafe plugs fit in all magsafe sockets, no exception. Your only concern is that the power output of the supply be equal to or greater than the computer into which it is plugged.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Boot diskless Mac Pro from SAN/NAS/iSCSI

Hi,
is there a way to a boot disk-less Mac Pro from a SAN (or NAS with iSCSI)? For reasons of security and ease of administration, we want to deploy a secure centralized storage that literally hosts the entire company in a single redundant rack. I know Windows and most Unixes can do that and wonder if there is a similar solution for Mac OS X.
Speed is not much a concern (50MB/s is ok). Therefore iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet should be fine. However, I could not find a bootable iSCSI initiator card for the Mac yet. Is there one?
Any pointers are much appreciated,
Thanks!

There should be no performance penalty at all. A hosted iSCSI drive over Gigabit Ethernet is not slower than a local 3.5" eSATA disk. I checked this with the globalSAN iSCSI initiator in a Mac Pro and an OpenFiler (freeware) server and the drives performed around 70-80 MB/s. Of course, if we were talking about a RAID, a local controller would be much faster, but for single disks this is ok.
The advantage is consolidation, safety and security. All drives of every Mac in an office would be hosted on a highly redundant high-availability server rack (8, 16, or even 32 drives, RAID 6, hot swappable, expandable while running, etc). Nobody would ever notice a drive failure, as it is simply replaced in the rack without downtime.
(1) Adding a new "drive" of any size to any Mac is just a matter of a minute.
(2) Hosted drives behave like a physical local disk. You can partition and format them in any way you like, use hard links (Time Machine?), install other operating systems, anything.
(3) Redundancy and data safety is guaranteed for the entire office.
(4) Backup is centralized and more reliable.
(5) Many iSCSI servers support snapshots: You could return to a previous state of your Mac at any time, as if it was a virtual machine.
(6) If the iSCSI server supports encryption, your data is still safe even if one or more of your Macs (or the server altogether) got stolen.
Usually this kind of setup is run on a fibre channel network in large data centers with hundreds of disk-less server blades and one huge SAN rack full of disk drives. Using iSCSI over cheap ethernet allows small to medium size businesses to benefit from this consolitation technique without spending the $$$ for a FC solution.
I agree that this would certainly not make sense for a single Mac, or two. However, once you have more than, say, five Macs and/or Windows machines, storage consolidation might be very useful.
If it only worked with Macs
Thanks for pointing me to another potential solution. I will carefully check that out. I however can't yet see how it would be possible to have the (read-only) boot image load the iSCSI initiatror drivers and then "redirect" the boot process to a hosted iSCSI disk. The thing is, the OS would have to be installed on a writeable iSCSI disk in order to be maintained, updated, upgraded as usual. All that storage consolidation is pointless, if the hosted drives behave like network shares rather than true local disks.
