Mac Pro 1,1 how to troubleshoot no graphics output, no video output

Mac Pro 1,1 OS 10.7.5
Bootup sounds normal but the Apple Cinema Display (ACD) is black. Same result in Safe Mode. The ACD works perfectly when cable is switched over to either of 2 MacBook Pro. Thinking it might just be failed graphics card I brought back from USA to NZ a Radeon X1900 XT PCIE 512M. To my delight, when I installed the X1900 the video out was normal (2 weeks ago). I did a bit of testing over an afternoon, then shutdown the MP and offered it for sale.
With a buyer awaiting shipment I setup the MP again to wipe drive and pack. No graphics again. Safe Mode, same result. ACD still tests fine (I've been using it 100% as MBP monitor). There's no point in sending MP down to Auckland to the only recommended service agent. Their fees will exceed the market value.
Any thoughts on how I should troubleshoot this?

Update: This case is getting more confusing and complex. Following my last update I succeeded to get the Mac Pro to boot in Safe Mode. Then I booted normally twice. Things were looking up so I started working on wiping a drive to package with the MP for sale. I ran Geekbench OK and Stress Test for 15min OK then left the MP powered overnight. This AM the MP was unresponsive. The ACD light was still on. After forcing shutdown and reboot I see a kernel panic log. Below are the first few lines through the non-Apple kext.
Next on the MacPro I inserted a security-erased drive, then SuperDuper cloned the working boot drive system and the admin-user. That new semi-clean boot drive would not startup. Neither would the source of the clone -- the drive that I had been successfully booting. I tried various Lion bootable disks and startup keys for a couple of hours. One boot worked in Safe Mode but not on the next 2 tries. Did the PRAM reset voodoo etc.
What should I do now?

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

My mac pro is locked how to unlock

My mac pro is locked how to unlock?

Locked how exactly?
If you mean the drive is locked then see:
Fix Permissions for a Locked Drive
Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following at the prompt. Press RETURN after each. The first command will prompt for you to enter your admin password. It will not be echoed to the screen. After entering your password press RETURN again.
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
killall finder
An alternative is to download BatChmod and use it to fix the permissions.

After connecting mac pro to tv, how to view movie on tv from laptop

After I connect my Mac Pro to my tv, how do I view a movie on tv coming from my laptop ?

Hi Anita, I have neither, but I doubt it should be so, but you may get a better answer over in one of these two, since this is the Tiger/10.4/Printing & Faxing forums...

My mac pro has died, how can I see my emails on my macbook

My Mac Pro has died. I intend to get it repaired, obviously, but I need to see my emails from the many years of emails archived on its undamaged hard drive. I have removed the hard drive and connected it to my macbook using a USB carrier. I can find myself under the users, but the library file where the mail folder is kept remains hidden, so I can't copy it across.
What can I do to get my emails useable again immediately?
I posted this before but on a Macbook discussion and got no useful reply.
It surely is possible to do this isn't it?

In Finder select Go, then hold the option key.
You will now see Library. Select it and navigate to Mail.
emails are in V2 Folder
See eric's suggestion to "check ’Show Library Folder’"

To keep it seperate from the Mail already on this Mac, I would set up another user account (->System Preferences->Users & Accounts), and then log into the new account. Quit Mail, Delete ~/Library/Mail in the new account and copy Mail from the other Mac.
Delete these files to force a re-index:
Open Mail

Mac Pro 1.1 How to control PSU fan

Dear Users
I have an upgraded (2 x X5355 8 core) Mac Pro 1.1 running 10.7.4. I routinely use SMCFanControl (the latest version) to ramp up the fans when I am running long, CPU-intensive jobs. However, SMCFanControl only changes three of the four fans - the PSU fan remains stuck on 600rpm, regardless of the settings. My PSU is getting pretty hot - 70+C, so I am looking for a way of cranking it up. Any suggestions will be greatfully received.
Thanks BB

That's a good question. It's been a while since I've run my 1,1 Mac Pro, but I remember that smcFanControl could change everything but the PS fan (which is at the front of the PS brick, right behind the DVD drives - I just took the cover off and doublechecked). On my current Mac Pro, which has the same DVD/PSU layout, smcFanControl can control all the fans.

Need advice on what Mac Pro to purchase/how much ram

Hi.. this is my first post...
I have been a Logic user for--15 years??-- and love the program. I have been using only pcs and now have to switch to Mac because, well..... we all know why....
Here's my question....
With a certain amount of cash to spend ( using Logic pro/ express ), and a lot of audio samples to crunch, am I better off::::
1.---buying the more expensive 3.0 ghz Mac pro with, say, 3 gigs of ram or,
2.---buying the cheaper 2.7 ghz Mac pro and use the savings to load up with more ram memory?
I lean towards the #2 just because 'they' say more ram is good. Up to now all my pc's were just stock and they ran, more or less, fine with few problems. Mind you, I was using midi exclusively..no audio files at all.
I will be recording only one live instrument ( a flugelhorn---brass instrument ) so that's about it!!
Any guidance would be appreciated..
Thanks all

Well, the old computer saying goes, "buy the fastest computer you can afford, at that time"... or something like that...
That being said, a new 2.7 Mac Pro ain't a shabby beast, by anyones standards.
3 gigs of RAM is pretty good... for now. But in anticipation of the new OS Leopard, and the inevitable rewriting of Logic that will take place (or is currently in progress), to allow it to access more than 4 gigs of RAM... more RAM wouldn't hurt either. You'd be putting yourself in a position to be able to take advantage of those advancements, when they occur.
So, my 2 cents is with you... a 2.7 Mac Pro with more RAM (maybe 6 to 8 gigs worth...? ) looks quite nice.

Is FCPX usable with late 2007 Mac Pro's with ATI HD3870 (or OEM graphics cards?

I have a late 2007 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD3870 Mac&PC (3870 ROHS 512mB) graphics card. This card is wupposed to be OpenCL hardware capable. Will it work with FCPX? I'm not aware of any current enhanced graphics cards that will work with that vintage MacPro. I'm currently using FCP7, but has anyone tried this system with FCPX?

nfoo wrote:
According to Apple it is compatible.
Just go ahead and try to buy it: the App Store will detect if your card is compatible and will refuse to let you buy FCPX if it isn't. So there's no risk.
If you want to upgrade your gfx card, the Ati 5770 and 5870 are both compatible with all Mac Pro Models.
Apple says no. The Store says mid 2010 for 5770.
I just got confirmation from someone on the LAFCPUG forum that they have MacPro 1.1 (2006) with 5770 installed and they were able to purchase FCPX.

Upgrading to iMac 5K or Mac Pro. Is there a list of Graphics Cards that are optimized for Premier Pro CC?

A couple of years ago I remember Adobe listed Graphics Cards that were optimized to work best with Rendering in Premier Pro and other applications. I have Creative Cloud so I have access to latest versions.
The iMac 5K Retina has a choice of AMD Radeon R9 M290X and M295X.
The Mac Pro has Options of AMD FirePro d300, D500 etc.
Does anyone have any idea where I can find out what graphic cards are optimized for Premier Pro an other applications from Adobe?
Thanks...

If you are not in the 4K business --> I would go for the 32 GB & 27" iMac w/o Retina, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M mit 4 GB GDDR5 (CUDA support) will give you quite a good performance, i.e. with a Thunderbolt connected Raid6 system your 2K projects (including some color correction and other plugins) will work well and you can even use the system as 4k starter/test system.
If you in the 4K business you could use a full blown iMac Retina system with a GPU AMD Radeon R9 M295X mit 4 GB GDDR5 together with an already mentioned TB Raid6 system. As described from the forum-compatriots, this non-CUDA card doesn't perform too well on GPU accelerated functions of PPro --> but --> search this forum... you will be surprised....some workflows are nearly unaffected....
If you are in the high end 4K footage busine$$ and you apply a lot of external color correction to your 4k footage (e.g. BM DaVinci) I would go for a MPro with 2 D700 cards.

Mac Pro 2006 boots into OS fine but graphics freezes on grey apple logo

When I boot my Mac Pro it boots into Mac OS X fine. I can access it remotely and all seems fine however the monitor only displays the grey apple with the whit background. I know the graphics card isnt over heating because I have removed any dirt/dust and had additional fans blowing the card and it is running cool.
does this mean the graphics card is dead? if so what can i replace it with as the machine is now 5 years old?
the current graphics card is a GeForce 8800 GT.

That last one is not a good sign. Kernel panic when starting from an installer DVD either mean you are using an installer version that cannot boot your model or there's a hardware problem.
I'm thinking your original thought may be valid. It would be provable if you had another GPU to try, but if you don't then I suppose you should replace the one you have. Of those available the ATI 5770 is an excellent replacement choice for both performance and cost unless you want to look for a different replacement card on eBay.

Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Pro 1,1 - how much RAM can it access?

Hi everybody,
After reading many related threads, I have gathered that the MP 1,1 has 64bit architecture, but only runs a 32bit kernel. Will this limit PS CS6 accessing all the RAM (currently 13 GB) on my MP 1,1?
Many thanks!

There are still benefits to more RAM when working with files that can grow or take up more memory even though you are not using 64-bit kernel, but still able to run CS6 as a 64-bit application.
people have outfitted their MacPro1,1 with more than 16GB to full 32GB to improve performance. That along with SSD for scratch and another for system (or use an array for scratch, though memory is your best "scratch") and of course an array for loading files and for your save volume (2GB files taking too many seconds?).

Are you using the same AppleID as your daughter - or used the same AppleID?

I have a 27" Viewsonic 1080p monitor connected to an oldish Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics card. The problem is that the image does not fill the screen?!?!?

I know the image can fill the monitor, because at start up, the white Apple logo screen fills it up. But once the system starts up, there are bands of black framing the image. I have searched extensively on the internet and found the following clues, none of which solved the problem:
1) In the Windows world you can get software from ATI called Catalyst Converter that gives you the cpaobility to scale the image. This software/feature is not available for Mac users.
2) Viewsonic's web site has a trouble shooting tool. This came up in response to the topic "you have recently upgraded to a larger monitor"
"This could be an issue if you have an older Apple using the system's onboard memory to support both the system and video display. Even if you have enough onboard RAM to support a higher resolution, it will not since the system will use some of the memory. Because the true video RAM available is much smaller than the total onboard amount, the system limits the size of the image. You will need to contact Apple to get an upgrade in onboard RAM or update the complete system."
I have 2GB of RAM, so lack of RAM memory does not seem to be an issue. I am running OS 10.6.8
Does anyone have any clue how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to have a 27" monitor behaving like a 25" monitor.
Thanks in advance for sharing any experience on this.

I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.

How to specify which Ethernet port on a Mac Pro to send an Ethernet packet

Hi,
I am doing some development on a Mac Pro. The Mac Pro has two Ethernet ports on the rear: Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2.
I want to specify which of these ports I send a UDP Ethernet packet from.
In my code I currently create a socket and send data through this. This works fine, but the data (packet) always seems to come out of Ethernet port 1 on the rear of the Mac Pro.
So, how / where do I set in my code which port (Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2) on the back of the Mac Pro to send my packet out of?
Cheers!
