    hi
    Could u please help me with the problem that I have with starting up my macbook pro?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

    Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
    I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
    It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
    Cheers, Kavango

    go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
    That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Problems when starting up my Mac Pro

    Hi all,
    When I start up my Mac Pro (2.66) it the light on the mac will turn on but there is no chime, no display. The second time I start up the Mac it chimes and the display runs up to the grey screen but then it pauses and a fan (don't know which one) goes mad. The third time I start up my mac it works. What can I do to avoid this process, so far I have reset the PRAM and the SMU - (by removing the wires and putting them back) please help!! - I really don't want to re-install everything!!!!!

    Try the small round SMC button (remove drive tray #4 on the back to get to it). Use a non-conductive implement and hold in for 5 seconds. That does a better job than just unplugging or zapping PRAM.
    Check what you have on the same circuit. The Mac Pro is sensitive to other equipment on same circuit or nearby. Consider getting a 1300VA UPS even.
    You should have an alternate, emergency, boot drive or at the least clone or working bootable backup. And consider Disk Warrior 4.1 to repair your drives.
    Try to isolate what other cables and equipment is attached as possible cause.

  • OpenLDAP Server have Problems with the automounter of Mac OSX 10.5.5 client

    Hi,
    we are using OpenLDAP Server on a Debian OS base. I had connect the LDAP Server with the MACMini with Mac OSX 10.5.5. The LDAP Server is based on OpenLDAP running on Debian Linux.
    The Users can login on the Mac Computers and they do have the right goups. I have a problem with the autompunterMaps because the homes and volumes are not mounted in the Mac environment. So the users have a different home directory at each computer and no volumes to work with.
    The LDIF I use for the automounter is following:

    to mount the /volumes but just the volume /vol and /homes are mounted to the Mac OS System.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    Have a look at http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20061126220622764
    and there is very good information in Apple's training texts for 10.5 server.
    You can buy the print book or purchase an account with Safari Books in order to read it online,

  • Problem with Quadro4000 in a Mac Pro (Mid 2009)

    Does anyone has a problem with the Nvidia Quadro 4000 on his Mac Pro?

    I have a major problem, it can't boot to start up the computer, I must to hold the shift button to open and when it opens it sticks and the colors of the wallpaper is not good. Also I have a raid card. The apple service told me that the problem is the graphic card and must be replaced but I am not sure about it, unfortunately I don't have the first card to be sure.
    Do you know what the follow message means?

  • Problem with Windows 7 on Mac Pro 3,1

    I am trying to install Windows 7 to a seperate HDD an on Mac Pro 3,1 and have run into a problem getting it to work.
    To start with I had a 500GB HDD which was partitioned using Bootcamp assistant and had OSX 10.6,8 and Windows 7 installed on it and worked fine. I decided to purchase 2x 120GB SSDs (1 for OSX and 1 for WIndows) and also purchased a Sata III PCI-e card to go with them. I started by putting in the card and connecting the two drives, booting into OSX from my exsisting HDD and cloning it to the 1st SSD using CCC. Everything went perfect. OSX booted off the new SSD and speeds were amazing (Getting around 448MB/s Read and 395MB/sec Write).
    Since everything was working I then removed the HDD and once again booted up to make sure it worked. Once booted I then proceded to run Bootcamp assistant and chose to use the entire 2nd SSD. It formated the SSD to fat32 and named it BOOTCAMP as usual then rebooted to the Windows CD. WIndows would see the SSD but would fail to install giving me some error code so I went to the forums to look it up and everyone was saying that you must disconnect any other HDDs while installing Windows so i disconnected the OSX SSD and once again ran the WIndows setup. I went through the entire setup procedure just fine and began runing the Windows updates and installing the bootcamp drivers. Everything was fine, Windows was booting fast and everything was working so I shutdown and reconnected the OSX drive and booted up holding the Option key and selected to boot to OSX. Once booted I then shutdown and booted holding Option once again but this time chose Windows but to my surprise, Windows would no longer boot. I disconnected the OSX SSD and same result, WIndows was no longer bootable. I then tried to do a startup repair, windows recovery and even went through the entire windows setup again. Every time I reconnet the OSX drive and boot to OSX it kills the Windows boot. I then tried again but this time removing the Sata II card and pluging the SSDs into the normal HDD bays. Same result. After reinstalling Windows agin it once more killed the Windows boot when I booted to OSX.
    After all that I decided to try just using one SSD and letting Bootcamp assistant partition it and install WIndows that way. Same result. After booting OSX after finishing Windows it kills the Windows boot.
    Am I doing something wrong? My old HDD that has windows on it still works fine and its from the same Windows CD. I even purchased Lion after all that, upgraded my OSX drive and retried everything and still not owrking.
    Can anyone please help? I am very fustrated and can't understand whats wrong.

    Well I finally got it running smooth again, turns out that one of the windows updates changed the way the licensing works and for some odd reason it no longer works on Mac, go firgure lol. I ended up giving my windows 7 license to a friend who just built a PC so it worked fine for him but I am out $139 .
    To get it working again I had to take my Mac Pro to work and let the IT guys install the Enterprise Edition and activate it againist the companies activation server. Works great now but it means I will have to take it to work every 6 months now for activation
    I wish Microsft would stop making things so hard for us Mac guys.

  • Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

    Hi.
    I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
    Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
    On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
    None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
    The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

    The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
    10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
    The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
    that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
    Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
    Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
    The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
    I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
    One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.

  • I have Problems with starting em dbconsole after a fresh Installation

    I have been having problems running EM console on Oracle 10g R2 on windows xp after a fresh installation and I did not receive any error messages while the Installation was going on. I was able to log into sqlplus successfully and I started the instance and em dbconsole (which started up successfully, but still yet , after logging into em dbconsole the status of the instance is still not running?
    I still tried further to startup the instance, after entering my host credentials and sysdba account, I get this error message;;
    Error
    java.lang.Exception: Exception in sending Request :: null
    What could possibly be the reason for this situation?

    Thanks 4 responding to my enquiries, accidentally I had already gotten a tip from someone who suggested that I should turn off the dbcontrol and leave the database and listener running, then recreate the enterprise manager repository using the "emca.bat" utility.
    <emca.bat -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate>
    Which I did after entering the values I got this error message;

  • Problem on my early 2008 Mac Pro

    I had this problem with my early 2008 Mac Pro which started last week.
    Some background; I'm using 8GB RAMs, using Snow Leopard and bootcamp Windows 7 and 3 days before the start of the problem, I had replaced the original 320GB HDD for 640GB HDD and reinstalled both OSes.
    While I was playing some videos in Windows 7 last week, it displayed the blue screen with memory dump message and restarted on its own. Thereafter, I was unable to load Windows 7 and SL respectively, both hung before they can be loaded. In SL, I noticed that there were some faint red dots in the Apple logo and subsequently, the entire screen started to flicker with some random black and white strips. In Windows 7, it frozen at the Windows logo with a 640x480 resolution. My default resolution was 1920x1200. However, I managed to loaded into the safe mode of Windows and extracted my work.
    I tried to re-install SL and it hung again at the Apple logo followed by the flickering.
    I sent it to my local service centre and the technician removed my video card, RAMs and memory risers and cleaned the contact, ran the stress test overnight, AHT3A152 and ASD3S123 tests and concluded that he found no issues with the hardwares and the problem did not occur again.
    The Mac Pro was sent back to me today and earlier, I started up with no problem and decided to remove the Windows partition and I restarted it again to confirm everything was ok. However, at the next startup, the problem re-surfaced and I could no longer start up my Mac Pro in SL.
    I tried to swopped back the original 320GB HDD, but the problem still persists. Before I send back my Mac Pro to the service centre tomorrow, I would like to have some 2nd opinions. Based on my description, what is the likely cause of this problem, is the newly replaced 640GB be the root cause?

    Do you keep Windows on its own hard drive?
    I would have kept the 320GB while using Windows WD Lifeguard to test, zero, run extended tests and slow long format of the new WD 640. Then just cloned system to new drive.
    Casper 6.0 seems to be great utility if you want to avoid reinstalling 7, though I've found 7 to be fast and easy to install even with dozens of programs to add.
    Are you using the current / latest graphic driver for 7? I don't notice you even list which card.
    RAM - there is no perfect test, AHT finds some while Memtest takes time and may find others.
    Windows may be more sensitive to weak hard drive sectors and memory than Mac OS or than HFS+.
    Do you have any 3rd party devices? PCIe? Cables etc?
    And you can't boot off Windows 7 DVD or Safe Mode?
    Windows should automatically offer to boot in Safe Mode.
    Also, try restore from last good restore point.
