Mac Pro 1,1 hangs indefinately at startup: Help Me Diagnose?

Hello all, trying to determine what could possibly be causing this issue with my Mac Pro Quad 2.66 xeon machine running Snow Leopard.
It will turn on but does not boot up, instead hanging indefinately at the white screen with apple logo, displaying a perpetually rotating load icon.
Perhaps the pros can help me figure this out...
Here are what may be some relevant details:
-Will not boot to system install disk
-Does not take keyboard command for auto disc-boot (c on startup).
-DOES take keyboard command for boot disc switching on startup (option on startup).
Sees install disc via this method, but machine will not boot to it.
-Only very recently, machine turns on automatically when simply plugged in, without the need to press the power button
(this started last night after the machine has been off for days).
-There are no error LED lights anywhere, on the logic board nor on the RAM risers.
Here are some steps I've taken so far:
-Removed hard drives to attempt forceboot to install disc and rule out a system drive issue; no change in symptom.
-Set up various RAM configs to check for RAM problems: no RAM, one pair of each set on Riser A, swapping risers, etc; no change in symptom.
-Failure to boot to Install Disc with any button combo at startup suggested some sort of optical drive problem so
removed optical drive completely; no change in symptom.
I am baffled by this, and while it is an older machine with the 'known issue-laden' Nvdia GeForce 8800GT dual graphics card,
there are no graphic anomolies whatsoever. I have the Arctic Cooler S1 heatsink/fan system in there and so always been nice and cool.
Any ideas folks? This has brought my studio to a complete standstill
Thank you kindly for your input and happy friday to you!

By the way, Ive done the Verbose mode and there are, as you guys stated, mostly lines of information I cannot understand. However, some things that stuck out as possible negatives with words like 'failed' appeared,
perhaps these lines they will look like something to some of you...
Most notable were the final lines at the bottom of the verbose readout page,
(reads as such but on single line):
launchctl: CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource(/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.appl e.auditd.plist) failed: -10
immediately following was another launchctl line, seemingly related to the previous:
launchctl: no plist was returned for: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.auditd.plist
then yet another launchctl line which read (all on one line):
launchctl: dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.adobe.Switchboard.plist
then this one:
launchctl: please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
The very last line on the verbose readout page reads:
Notice: new kext com.paceapp.kext.pacesupport.snowleapord, v5.7 matches prelinked kext but can't determine if executables are the same (no UUIDs)
Another thing that stuck out was a line after the details of launching and bootup sequences (simply details powerup, verbose startup etc.) but then this line appears afterword:
Bug: Launchctl.c:3557 (23930):17: ioctl(s6, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, &ifra6) ! = -1
at the very top of the readout, there are seven lines referring to 'processors', looks like this:
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 1 LocalApicId= 1: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 2 LocalApicId= 7: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 3 LocalApicId= 6: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 4 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 5 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 6 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 7 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
There is a line about mid page that reads as such:
BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
anyway, not sure what any of it means but thanks again for reading and for all the advice.
Best,
-S

  • Mac Pro 5,1 hangs on shutdown

    I use a 2012 3.33 GHz 6-core Mac Pro 5,1 in my recording studio, running OS 10.9.2 with 16 GB RAM. I use all of the PCIe slots:  slot #1 is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, #2 is a Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad card for my powered-plugin library, #3 is the Avid Pro Tools HD-Native card and #4 is an OWC Accelsior 120GB 6G SSD which I use as my primary Pro Tools production drive.
    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks and added the Accelsior SSD (this January) the computer hangs on shutdown and occasionally on startup. With shutdown it's the same every time - when I shut it down I get a blank gray screen with only the cursor arrow showing, and I can still move the arrow around. After a few minutes I hit the power button to force it to shut off.
    The machine also runs very sluggishly and takes forever to boot up.  It almost as if there are a ton of hidden processes bogging it down.
    I've checked and re-checked for viruses, I've reset the SMC and PRAM, I use Disk Utility to verify all my drives and repair all the disk permissions about 3 times per week, and I do daily diagnostics with Tech Tool Pro 7.  I'm about to pull all the PCIe cards except the graphics card and disconnect all peripherals except keyboard and mouse and then reconnect everything in steps but before I do all that I was wondering if any forum participants have dealt with a similar problem ?

    You could try a different SSD than the Mercury model from OWC.
    Also, any and even the ones from OWC should have TRIM enabled and you do not.
    I have a number of Samsung SSD and just noticed one $110 250GB

  • Trying to link existing mac pro time machine backup to cloned startup drive

    Hi
    I have recently had to replace my startup drive on my Mac Pro as it was failing. I used SuperDuper! for this, and the clone is working fine as my new startup drive. I then went to run my next time machine backup (i backup to a time capsule), and time machine connected to the existing backup but wanted to backup everything as if backing up for the first time.
    So i did a bit of researching around, and found this hint:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090213071015789
    which changes the UUID registered with time machine, from the old drive to the new drive, so that it thinks that it's the old drive and carries on where it left off. i followed the instructions in the hint carefully and everything seemed to go right (i had to copy fsaclctl from an old leopard backup as it is missing in snow leopard). but when i ran the next backup again time machine wanted to backup everything.
    towards the bottom of the hint, there is a comment about the UUID generated under snow leopard, as follows:
    "I'm concerned that the output of xattr showed 37 hex pairs, not the 32 hex digits and dashes. By the looks -- I've forgotten all my ASCII -- it is a hex representation of the actual hex UUID (43 41 ...) and its dashes (2D), terminated with 00. That's arguably the same as the UUID, but not quite close enough to give me the warm & fuzzies"
    So if anyone can help me get this working right, using the method described in the hint, or some other method, i would be very grateful. Seems like my scenario isn't that uncommon (changing a startup drive), and it baffles me that there isn't a more straightforward way to make this work.
    thanks

    3. I am having troubles copying files(iphoto library) from my timemachine backup on to my imac.
    That's correct. Time Machine backups retain the original ownership and permissions. So one user doesn't have access to another user's data. Usually, that's a good thing.
    4. I don't need anything else except a few particular files, but everytime i try drag or copy it gives me the 'no privilege/permission error'.
    Your best bet may be to use +Migration Assistant+ to migrate the user account and selected data. Then log on as that user and use/copy the data as desired. See the pink box in #19 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Mac Pro 2008 slow application launch after startup?

    It seems that my mac pro (early 2008 8-core) is pretty sluggish right after starting up. If I launch Safari it takes it a good 20 secs before I can actually use it. A browser window will open but I get the beach ball while it seems to be loading. There also seems to be a lot of hard drive activity after it first starts up. This also slows the system and you really can't do anything until it has settled down. I have Snow Leopard installed as an upgrade over Leopard. But, it seems to like it was this way with both operating systems.
    I have a second internal drive partitioned for boot camp on the original startup disk. So, two internal drives and three external drives. Does this affect speed of overall system?
    Anyway, is this common for this model? I just got a Mac Book Pro and it screams in comparison. It starts up and I can launch anything and there is no delay. I could be getting a little spoiled by this new mac.
    Thanks for any help or insight!

  • Mac Pro - Holding option doesn't display startup manager

    I have a late 2008 Mac Pro, Ive been running OSX 10.8.5 and Mavericks (on separate partitions). Now out of nowhere holding down option doesn't bring up my startup manager. I can access both OS's by changing the startup disk in system preferences, but I'd love to get the startup manager fixed.
    I have tried reseting the SMC (by unplugging it for like a minute) and resetting the PRAM/ NVRAM by holding down Command + Option + R + P; however resting the PRAM doesn't seem to be working. The startup chime happens once and then after about thirty seconds it boots into the recovery partition.
    Thanks in advance!

    I had this problem with my 2009 Mac Pro with OS X Yosemite. The problem was fixed for me after removing two of my ram sticks, resetting the PRAM three times in a row (wait to hear chime, then wait for restart, do this three times) and booting up. There are some additional firmware settings that are reset when you remove ram. I replaced the ram, and now my startup disk menu always appears. Googling "how to reset firmware password on mac pro" will give you solutions that also solve the missing startup manager problem. Best of luck to you!

  • Mac Pro 2006 tower, not showing gray startup screen - "asleep" till desktop appears

    Mac Pro 1,1 Dual-Core Intel Xenon, 2.66 GHz, 5GB ram, 2 internal HDs of 500GB and 1T. OS 10.6.8
    I suddenly "lost" the normal gray startup screen on my Mac a few months back. I get just a black monitor screen until the desktop appears. I'm having other issues too and want to run disk utility off an external HD to fix internal HD permissions. But when I hold the option key and start, I can't select the external as a startup disk without a startup screen. Any ideas?
    I'm wondering if adding the second internal HD may be the cause of this and other apparent memory issues (slower performance, web pages slow or not loading in all browsers, Finder folders only opening after a "wakeup" wait). They seemed to happen around that time, though I can't say I notice an immediate change. Could simply adding more HD real estate be the issue? Thoughts on that too?
    I've tried the using Disk Utility before but can't recall if I ever got it to work on the 1T HD due to that lack of a startup screen. I've also played with plug-ins/extensions in browsers and can't say they're to blame.

    We have a 2.66 MacPro 1,1 still running fine at present, the original graphics card was replaced by Apple as part of a known issue. This was over 4 years ago, close to the end of the cutoff period for the known issue IIRC.
    I'd suggest you contact Apple & see if you can sweet talk them into doing something about the graphics card, even if it's just arranging a better price on a replacement. I recollect at the time of the exchange Apple was switching cards based on the installed OS. Having 10.6 installed meant we got a NVIDIA 8800GT, earlier OS's meant other cards were offered instead. I think it came with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (but I could be wrong - ask me to dig out details if you want to know for sure).
    P.S.
    Assuming the disk doesn't contain your user data, shutdown & remove your second HD to see if it runs any better, I find that the OS will wait for what feels like a lifetime when requesting data from a disk that has gone to sleep. SSD's change your perception, booting from one will freshen up the Mac, but won't fix the no graphics at boot issue, sorry.

  • My Mac Pro late 2013 hangs at 18 minutes left on update to Yosemite.

    I Attempted to update my Mac Pro late 2013 to Yosemite after it was released today through the Apple Store. Unfortunatly after several hours and many auto restarts it hung at 18 minutes to go.
    THe Mac is backed up on an Airport 4, but is there any other way and how do I get to the backup?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Mac Pro freezes or restarts shortly after startup

    Hello,
    My Mac Pro has developed a habit of freezing (including mouse pointer) a while (some 10 minutes) after powering on the machine. After a forced restart the problem has disappeared for the rest of the day. On some days the computer spontaneously restarts a while after powering on and then the problem is more persistent, with the light on the front flashing and the machine not getting through powering up at all. What then helps is removing and putting back the video card. I have already replaced the video card with a new one, after which the problem had disappeared for several weeks, but now it is fully back again.
    Several runs with TechTool Pro did not reveal any hardware problem.
    Can someone advise on how to diagnose the freezes etc. or even how to solve it?
    Below is an error report produced after a forced restart.
    Thanks for any answers!

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) - Question about swtiching startup hardrive

    I have a Mac Pro (Early 2008), let's call her A, that I have been using non-stop but both its video card and a set of memory sticks have failed. My buddy bought his Mac Pro at the same time, let's call her B, but he barely used it. I want to keep on using a Mac Pro so I bought my friend's machine B, with the intention of using some of its parts or even use it as is, because as I mentioned, he barely used it throughout these years and is working fine.
    Would it be possible to take the start up hard drive from A and place it on B? Like I said, they are both from the same generation and share pretty much the same configuration, except B, my friend's, came with a better video card (he ordered it that way).
    Thank you so much for your help on this matter,
    Juan.

    Hello The hatter,
    Please let me know what to do?
    I decided to go for option B and now I am running my friends Mac Pro. Uploaded all my software and and back to work. Only that I noticed that this machine now stalls a bit at start up (gray logo, no spinning wheel for a while).
    I discovered that even though I installed a new set of memory sticks, now the machine only recognizes Riser A (Top?) with 2GB (1GB x2) and listed as EMPTY the Riser B (Bottom?). I know they are supposed to go in pairs...so I am so tired of dealing with so many issues and worries with so much work to get done.
    I decided to order a new set from OWC of matching (hopefully) sticks to place them on the Riser B (Bottom?) ASAP and see what happens?
    What do you think?
    Help please, I have been following your posts because I can tell you are extremely experience on the matter and I need such help more than ever before.
    Thanks a million!
    Juan

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro frequently shut downs during start up, Help!

    Hello all,
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has gradually started having the following problems:
    It will often shut down when it goes to sleep.
    It has shut down randomly a few times.
    And just today it shut down about 5-10 seconds after being turned on. It took about 6 tries before I could get it to turn on.
    I have tried all of theusual software remedies (disk utility, different startup drives, resetting the SMC, PRAM, etc.)
    I have run apple hardware test on loop for several hours with no errors appearing...
    The computer also often loads up to a circle with with a slash through the middle sign, though I am not sure if this is related (it started happening when it switched my system over to a SSD).
    I am wondering if this is simply a slowly sying PSU and if replacing it might help? If there any way of monitoring this perhaps? I somehow thought that if it was the PSU then it would simply die completely rather than fade like this...
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    There are multiple threads and reports of issues with Icy Dock - there is one on Amazon that lines up properly.
    The drive sled length of 2009-2012 Mac Pro are longer. Maybe OWC needs to be clearer.
    You'e right half-way and maybe some corrupt plist or interferring process you have, or even another hardware item or cable - external - even printer drivers or something that refuses or does not like sleep. Controller card?
    All around I'd have to vote for Samsung 830 model. Then Intel 520. Crucial is out with x4 now (Or is it "V"?)
    SSD firmware continues to be trouble. Even May-June the SandForce firmware had major issue and reason to hold off any using theirs. Reason to see if yours needed to be updated. Someone last week with m4 found they had old firmware and needed to update it.

  • Mac Pro has slowed to a crawl - Please Help Me!

    Hello,
    For some time now my Wireless or Wired Internet connection using my Mac Pro has slowed to almost nothing. For example, This page took 5 mins to load and now Internet use has become unusable.
    I feel its my Mac Pro because all other Apple Computer run very fast wirelessly. I have (2) New iMac's (1) Apple TV and (1) Apple iPhone. All stream and surf the Internet blazingly fast.
    My Mac Pro is constantly being redirected to other sites (mostly **** related) and a huge amount of Pop ups (even though pop ads are disabled in Safari). All Internet browsers perform the same on my Mac Pro or ANYTHING Internet related including WoW, Software updates or even iTunes Music Down loads.
    I really feel that in some way (which is shocking) I am infected with "something" that is making my computer crawl on the Internet. Redirection of websites is just now very aggravating.
    I am looking at the (2) Original Disks that came inside the Mac Pro Box. I'm seriously considering wiping my system clean and starting from scratch.
    I currently hold NOTHING on my Factory 320GB HD other than programs.
    I have installed (2) 1TB drives and created a RAID slice thus creating a single HD icon on my desktop that reads 1.8TB. Thats is where all my Music, Photos, and Movies reside.
    My question is....
    When I wipe my system will that RAID be broken? Will I lose everything on those 2 drives or will using the restore CD's leave all that information in tact?
    Please let me know before I proceed.
    Thank you for your time.
    John

    Your RAID won't be touched. But back it up today if you haven't yet!
    I use Firefox for security with noscript and some other filters, but I also hardened the router firewall to manually block services, ports and add rules - both incoming and outgoing.
    You might want to look at LittleSnitch or NetBarrier and do some logging.
    I've seen/heard where older routers and modems were fine, but not with Mac Pro or with Intel Macs in general and needed to be replaced or firmware updated. Problems with the latest updates for Airport have been seen by some, and worth checking into - on forums, news sites or hit google.
    And of course check what processes are getting loaded and run; manually delete caches, history, metadata, even the bookmarks cache.
    ~/Library/Caches/Metadata
    There are issues with fake Flash updates; normal sites (like CNN) suffering from SQL-injection. Best to run with javascript off for now.
    Might want to look into ClamXav and other malware protection. But I would switch and see how Firefox and Opera behave. And turn off java, script, and plug-ins while you consider your options and try to find out why.

  • Mac Pro 2x2,8 Ghz - Fan Noise - Please help evaluate

    Hi Guys,
    Since yesterday, I'm the proud owner of a Mac Pro 2x2,8 - Really happy - really nice machine.
    However I'm slightly irritated by the posts I've read all over the internet, saying that you can't hear the fans of this machine at all in idle.
    As you may have guessed, my box is not silent at all - it is quite quiet compared to other noisy PCs, yes, but no match for the previous iMac 24" which it replaced. You could hardly hear the iMac versus now the Mac Pro... you notice it's there... sitting under the desk - audible.
    I realize that fan noise is highly subjective, and I'm using the Mac in a completely silent environment. No AC, no nothing. I've tried the following: removing the hard drive and silencing the graphics card... Upon bootup the Mac would quickly "turbo" it's fans and then go to it's normal state. The loudest fan (which is drowning out all other noise) is the one at the bottom front (CPU?).
    Looking at istat, it's in normal parameters (500rpm or so) and doesn't move up or down...
    Comparing it to other devices, it would sound like a PS3 when having played 1 hour (fan speed at level 2-3) or an (quiet) xbox in idle mode (dvd not spinning). I know... geeky comparisons
    Now, again - not close to my interpretations of "whisper quiet" "can't hear it at all"... "only hear it when I put my ear to the grill" "sounds like it's cooled passively"
    Which makes me think that either
    a) people out there are deaf /
    or
    b) my Mac needs a closer look by a genius
    Would really appreciate your opinions.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    hey tom,
    you might have the same problem i have. I have the 2.8 octo 2008 mac pro. and it used to be whisper quiet. I was amazed. But recently as in the last few weeks the graphics card fan has become audible. I put in an e sata adapter last week and while inside the mac pro I took a look at the fan to see if it was dusty or visibly distressed. Nope. Couldn't find anything wrong with it. So now i'm just dealing with the noise. Which is too bad cause I really really really don't like fan noise. But the air conditioners on most of the time now so I really can't complain about a little fan noise compared to the ac's grumbling.
    but i'd like to know if others are having this problem
    thanks,

  • Mac Pro not reporting memory amount correctly - please help

    Hi all,
    I have recently purchased an additonal 2 x 4GB Crucial DDR2 FB-DIMM 667Mhz sticks for my Mac Pro Dual Core Intel Xeon 2 x 2.66GHz computer.  I have installed these correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
    I am seeing now that instead of the 13GB I should have showing in system profiler (which I initially saw after installation of the Crucial sticks), I am seeing 11GB.  The two 2GB Kingston sticks are both showing incorrectly as 1GB.
    Can anyone help with regards what I should do to check if it's a Riser problem or the two sticks, etc...  I've ran a memory scan with TechTool Pro 5 and that came back fine, though for 11GB Ram and not the actual 13GB I should have/see.
    I'm going to call Crucial and my local retailer tomorrow where I got the Kingston Ram pre-installed on purchase of the Mac, and that Kingston has a life-time warrenty anyway, but still I'd like to try and resolve this and look into the issue further myself too.
    Please can someone kindly advise me what steps to take, I'd really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Ash

    My advice, over the 5+ yrs Mac Pro memory:
    Try with just the Crucial.
    Remove the pair of 512s - doesn't add much
    having 6 DIMMs is WORST config
    best is 4 DIMMs matched quad set: 4 x 2GB or 4 x 4GB.
    the smaller DIMMs should go down to 3/4.
    Forget TTPro to test RAM. Use AHT yes but "no errors" usually means Riser is okay and mechanically the DIMMs are okay but might need more.
    However, it is next to impossible to say for certain, and you can always find mixing brands or batches same can be a problem.
    I would not say "correct" though.
    correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
    High density or largest in DIMM slots 1 & 2
    Sometimes a configuration works that doesn't make total sense, like all the 4 x 2GB all on Riser A.
    Riser A: 2 x 4GB
    Riser B: 2 x 2GB

  • Mac Pro + Boot Camp + Leopard = No 3D Graphics HELP!!!

    Why doesn't the boot camp group let me post BTW? I just bought a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon 1900. Boot camp works great but the ATI software does not load and there are no 3D graphics. Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm striking out. Thanks.

    You'd probably be better off posting your question in the Boot Camp discussions:
