I have a Mac Pro 1 - ser #YM******UQ2. The cooling fans stay on constantly - any solutions?? Many Thanks.

Any idea why the fans are not shutting down? The shut down when the computer goes to sleep but come back on when the computer comes back on.

First try an SMC reset.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Second, look to see if you have a runaway application;

Third, bring it to an Apple store genius bar for resolution.

I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted.

I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted. Can I boot and install OSX Snow Leopard instead of reinstalling OSX Leopard?

Buy a new drive.
Leave your corrupt Leo system as is.
Maybe you own Disk Warrior? maybe not.
If you don't own Carbon Copy Cloner, invest in it. It can verify and do checksum on all files. So too can Lloyd's File Integrity app.
But you are overdue probably for a new system drive. My vote today is pick up a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for $90 is fine, will feel like a new computer and is room enough for system and apps. All your data needs to go to drive #2.
With a clone you should never have to reinstall. But you would have bootable backups from points in time, like right after installing, right before making changes.
If you are running Leo then it has to be Early 2008 or before, a 3,1 or maybe 1,1 or 2,1 model.
Leo is not receiving security updates. Snow is, but Lion is even more secure and runs on all Mac Pro models. It does drop support for all the older PowerPC programs and drivers.
You should insure that you are prepared for any updates needed even for 10.6.8.

My ITunes is acting odd. I have to click on the tabs (ie Music) on the left a bunch of times in order to get to the screen. Also, I can't edit track names by double clicking on them. I downloaded the new ITunes as well. Any solutions? Thanks.

My mac pro book is blocked /jammed, the OS start stays on the apple without end

Two days ago, I have stopped my mac book pro after 2 hours of synchro with a time capsule (clean session).
From this event, my mac is not start properly. It satsy in the system launch "white apple on the grey back" with the barrels wheel running
I'd like re boot my mac. But How do it?
I ve tried "cmd+s" at the start and 've seen message saying that ok and suugest to "exit" if i don't want to modify the file
Hwo to valid "exit"???
Thank you for your help!

First try to do a Safe Boot and see if it manages to start up. Hold down the Shift key prior to the startup chime, wait (a long time) till it starts. This will load JUST the OS, no non-Apple stuff. If it manages to get going, try to restart and see if the problem is solved. Safe Boot also clears all the system and user caches (why it takes so long) so if one is corrupted and impeding start, this may clear it out. Holler back with results.

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How many OS can you have in Mac Pro 1.1, have 3HDD so 3 OS?

Hi,
Currently have a Mac Pro 1.1, and want windows 64 bit as 32 bit isn't that good, keep running out of ram which slows the machine down! I currently have 2 HDD in this configuration:
Disk 1: 250GB, mac osx 10.7.5
Disk 2: 500GB windows 32 bit partition
500GB mac extra storage partition
I may get another HDD if I can install windows 7 64 bit on it, i just have a few questions.
I have a patched windows 7 64 bit to allow it to install via bootcamp, but had problems before so erased it and installed 32 bit, (had driver issues on 64 bit, and non mac gpu so couldn't see boot screen).
If I install it on a 3rd hard disk, will it show up when I hold down command when i boot up? I want to keep 32 bit in case something goes wrong.
Someone with experience would be awesome!
So I want to install windows 64 bit ultimate on a third hard drive without tampering with the others, i also want to know how to boot to it if it doesn't show up in the mac boot screen!
I have 10GB of ram and would like to fully utilise it, that along with 8 cores would make a powerful machine, which is limited in 32 bit!
Also, any additional guides to install it on a separate disk would be good!
Many thanks

In iTunes playlists and folders are two different things. I assume you are asking about playlists. 100 will not be a problem.
However, it is unnecessary to create a playlist for Now 82. If the tracks are properly tagged, it will show up as an album.

TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Mac Pros don't support Airplay. Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.
