Mac pro 2006 won't boot after lion install

hi,
under 10.6.8 everything worked fine.  All adapters and peripherals were functional.
After a normal looking lion install my mac pro 2006 will not make it past the boot screen (Grey Apple logo with spinning wheel).  After a while the spinning wheel stopped spinning but I hear disk I/O continue for some time.  A verbose boot lists the usual output.  The last line visible has a mention of macos_swapon or something like that.  I do note the first couple of lines specify a 64 bit kernel is booting.  I was under the impression that this machine cannot run the 64 bit kernel from snow leopard discussions.
The video card is an upgraded one (i.e. not the stock card that came with the machine).  However as I said before it was working fine under snow leopard.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem.  I did a clean install of Lion and created a temp account.  I was able to use Lion for a bit, then I used the Migration Assistant to bring my regular accounts back in from an external drive.  When that completed I logged off of the temp account and into my main account (without restarting).  Still no problems, Lion was working fine.  I shut the Macbook down for the night.  Now that I'm powering it on the next morning, I only get the Apple logo and spinning wheel. 
I tried a PRAM zap, but it didn't help.

  • Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap, Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap

    I just picked up a used Mac Pro 1,1 (2006).  It has 2x2.0 GHz dual-core processors and 5GB of RAM with the 7300GT card. 
    In this configuration, the machine was running perfectly.  I, of course, wanted to upgrade....
    I ordered a pair of 5160 3.0GHz processors cheaply and followed a video tutorial to install them.  I used Arctic Cleaner and Arctic Silver 5 for the thermal paste.
    Bottom line is:  I installed the two new processors and when I fired it up, I could hear the fans, optical drive and hard drives all spinning (normal fan speed - NOT "jet mode", and the HD sounds like it's spinning - NOT like it's booting).  NO boot chime and NO display.  I popped the cover off and saw the CPU B FAIL light on.  I swapped CPUs to test the processor, expecting to see the CPU A FAIL light come on.  It did not. It just powered the fans/drives with no result (again, with no boot chime and no display).
    To make a long and frustrating story short, I wound up putting one of the original 2.0GHz processors in slot A, leaving B empty (maybe I damaged the socket?) and IT STILL WILL NOT BOOT.  I have tried all of my processors - the original 2.0GHz and the new 3.0GHz ones - with the same result.  There are NO symtoms or indications - no error LEDs, no beeps - no indication why this machine will not boot.
    I have reset the SMC, pulled (and replaced) the coin battery, and left it unplugged for over an hour.  I have re-seated everything I can think of.
    As of rigt now, I can hear the fans quietly humming with the optical drive making a quiet "click" sound as it seeks for a disk to read, and I can hear the faint chatter of the HD head.  The power LED is nice and bright (no flashes or pulses), and there are no red LEDs on inside the case.  The memory LEDs flash once during bootup and that's it (it's the RAM the machine came with).  Pressing the DIAG LED button tells me the machine has power (green LED), has trickle (yellow LED) and the GPU light flashes green.
    Of note, during the swap, I got a tiny bit of thermal paste (non conductive) on the contacts of my 2.0 CPUs - which I cleaned off with alcohol and let dry.  The gold contacts all appear to be good on the original processors.  I can't really see the tiny little pins in the CPU sockets (my eyes are not as young as they used to be!), but the "look" like they're all there.
    I'm going to leave this unplugged overnight, but does anyone have any ideas??  If I managed to somehow destroy ALL of the CPUs, wouldn't I get a warning LED or beep or something?  Ideas are welcome, as I cannot afford to replace this machine - it has to get me the rest of the way through college.
    thanks
    Richard

    Hello Grant
    >
    Hardware sets the fans to maximum, and only properly-operating software resets them to "normal levels. If you have fans at normal levels, some software is running.
    >
    That's what I was thinking, but I'm not even getting the startup chime, and the HD sounds like it's powered on but not doing anything.
    EDITED TO ASK:  what software could be running at this point?  Nothing has loaded from the HD, that much I know...
    >Do you still have CPU A or CPU B failure lights?
    No.  I have just one original processor installed in the CPU A socket.  No lights of any kind.  (Even if I install an original processor in CPU B, I still occasionall will get a CPU B FAIL light, so I'm thinking I damaged the socket somehow...the light will not be consistent, but it's always the CPU B FAIL light - the light only turns on some of the time (and stays on once lit) - so that's why I pulled the B processor and am simply trying to boot with A alone)
    >Do you have a flashing power on light, indicating failed or no memory?
    Again, no.  I can "make" the light flash by removing the memory riser, but when I re-install the riser, the light stops blinking (with power off during removal/install, of course!)
    >Have you done the more severe SMC reset with the reset button OR:
    unplug AC power.
    Yes.  I have used the SMC reset button 3 or 4 times.  I unplugged the machine and left it (with coin battery installed) for an hour.  The last thing I did last night was that I left it unplugged overnight (with coin battery removed).  I have yet to attempt a power on this morning.  I will do so and report back.
    >
    unplug AC power.
    Press and hold power-on for a quarter minute to drain the power capacitors.
    Re-plug AC power.
    wait a quarter minute.
    then power on.
    >
    Haven't done that one yet.  (Didnt know about it!).  Will try that second today, after attempting the initial boot up after leaving it unplugged all night.  (fingers crossed)  Of course, the capacitors are likely discharged now after being unplugged and battery-less all night, but you never know...
    >Many things have to get synchronized after a CPU swap. It may take a half-dozen reset attempts before everything lines up again and goes.
    Thanks for the hope.   I will keep trying.
    >
    I recommmend you remove ALL distractions: all drives, all graphics cards, all PCI cards, all USB devices -- until you get the chime nothing else matters.
    Already have done so.  Last night I was down to 1 original CPU (CPU A), one memory riser with 1 set of original 1GB DIMMS, 1 bootable HD and nothing else (not even a keyboard/mouse - literally NOTHING else).   Will keep trying in this configuration.  All I really wanted last night was to hear the "bong" at power on!
    Will do a bit more troubleshooting today and will report back.
    Thank you!

  • Mac Pro 2010 Won't boot after adding Ram

    Just got my Mac Pro 2.8 a few days ago. My 4x2 8Gig Crucial Ram upgrade arrived today along with my SIIG FireWire400 PCIe card. It seems as though the Mac Pro won't boot with both the Crucial Ram and the Samsung Ram that came stock with the Mac Pro. I kept 2 of the 1 gig Samsung chips and put in the 2 4Gig Chips from Crucial. They are all the DDR3 1066 240 pin chips. I've moved the 4Gig chips to slots 1 & 2 and I've tried them in slots 3 & 4. I've moved the 1Gig Samsung chips accordingly. The power light on the Mac Pro blinks continuously when they are both installed. I even tried removing the new SIIG FireWire 400 card but that doesn't change anything. It seems as though combining these two types of ram just doesn't jive. Any ideas? I'm dragging the tower from queens to SoHo tomorrow to let the Apple Genius gang have a look at it.

    FYI, when I did install the Registered or "buffered" 8 Gigs of Crucial Ram by themselves the system did boot up normally and a memory notification popped up and said that my ram was in the "correct" or "suggested" configuration. I can't remember the exact phrasing but the OS definitely gave me a thumbs up. So now I am trolling the web trying to find out if the Registered memory is ok. I'm fine to just have 8gigs for now. But don't want to jeopardize the stability of my system. So, Is it ok to use Registered memory and if it is, am I using a lesser quality of ram in doing so?

  • Mac Pro 2009 won't boot after airport installation

    Hey everyone, looking for some insight here.
    I recently bought a Mac Pro 2009 running Mavericks (at time of receipt). It didn't come with an airport card so I purchased one to install myself. The Mac was running fine until this evening when I finally got around to installing the card, however since then it won't get past the grey boot screen with apple logo. I've tried disconnecting the airport card to see if that reverted it, but no change. I also can't boot into safe mode, so that's no good. The only thing I can do is bring up the giant padlock with the option key held, which I saw elsewhere was connected with a firmware password (my admin doesn't work).
    Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    It wouldn't be much of a lock if you could circumvent it with advice from a forum.
    Obviously a valid point, although possibly somewhat niaive where forums are concerned (no disrespect intended).
    It was more an expression of frustration than anything else, to be honest, though. It's kind of absurd that this happened following a simple hardware upgrade. Most people I know aren't even aware they can set a firmware password, so basically what it means is don't upgrade a machine that's intented to be upgraded (I'm aware of the hyperbole here).
    Looks like it will be a Mac store trip, though, yes. A pain in the arse since even my nearest authorised technician is miles away.

  • IMac won't boot after Lion install

    I have an Intel iMac circa 2007/2008. I just installed OSX Lion on it. After installation, the computer would beachball frequently and eventually froze completely. I had to do a hard-reset as the system was completely unresponsive.
    Now the computer won't boot up. It gets stuck at the grey screen with an Apple and a spinner at the bottom.
    Please help; this computer runs my small business.

    How much RAM is installed? Lion will run much better with at least 4 GBs of installed RAM.
    I would guess you updated from Snow Leopard and that Snow Leopard was not in good shape. Reinstall Lion to see if this fixes things for you:
    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • IMac 8,1 won't boot after Lion Install.

    Hey guys,
    I have an iMac8,1 with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that I just installed Lion on.
    It previously had Leopard on it, but after shutting it down to boot from the USB stick that I had made on my MacBook, I pressed alt to show the device selection menu. There were no options except EFI boot with an orange drive, which I took for the Lion stick that I had made. Installing Lion went without a hitch. I formatted the drive that Leopard was on and did a clean install. After it was finished, I set up Lion and set up a Boot Camp partition so that I could install Windows 7 side by side with it. I booted into the device selection menu (holding down alt/option while booting) and it showed me a completely blank screen. No Macintosh HD, no EFI boot, no Windows DVD, nothing.
    I put the flash drive back into the machine, and kept restarting it and seeing the same result, until all of a sudden it decided to finally start, and I saw the Apple logo. After a while, though, it became apparent that it was not booting into OS X Lion on the hard drive, but rather the Lion Install.
    I have no idea what to do with this machine. It was running extremely slowly before I started trying to fix it, and it didn't make sense to me that a machine with fairly capable specs (I have the same processor and 2GB of RAM on my MacBook and it runs great) would run so catastrophically slowly.
    Also, I'm now in Disk Utility running from the Lion USB and it a) sees both partitions and mounts them fine, b) says that "The volume "Macintosh HD" appears to be OK", after Repair Disk c) is unable to fix or verify disk permissions.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Can anyone help?

    If you have backups of all OS X and WIndows data on the internal drive, I suggest you partition it with the default options (GUID partition table, one data partition) while booted from the USB device. Install OS X and test. If you can boot in that configuration, restore your OS X data and then run Boot Camp Assistant, if you wish.
    If the above procedure is unsuccessful, the machine has a hardware fault.

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • Mac pro 2006 won't recognize ram

    Hey Everyone.....I'm not a giant techie, but now my way around a computer more than most I guess...here's my question...
    I have a Mac Pro 2006 running 2ghz dual core xeon processors and with 2gbs Ram (2GB x 4).....I just finally upgraded my ram and purchased 8gb's (4GB x 2)!
    I installed the new ram in Riser A in slots 1 & 2, and moved the old ram all to Riser B in slots 1-4 but I think I screwed something up. I booted up my machine and it recognizes the 8gb modules (whew!) but doesn't recognize the old 2gb's. I don't know what configuration I should use.
    Should I have Riser A full with slots 1-4 occupied by my new 8gb's and a pair of the 512's, putting 9gb's on Riser A?? Then I would put the second 512's on Riser B?? 9 on Riser A and 1 on B??
    8GB Ram is making such a great performance upgrade, but 10GB's of Ram would be pretty sweet too!! :)
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Assuming that the new RAM is for Mac Pro and "look the same"
    Sometimes two brands or different sets from the same make don't get along.
    Where you installed is fine.
    I didn't understand what it was, and what it is now.
    You have:
    4 x 512MB for 2GB
    4 x 2GB
    2 x 4GB
    Ideal would be
    Riser A: 2 x 4GB
    Riser B: 2 x 2GB
    See if that works first.
    Run Apple Hardware Test
    The math and figures you posted don't add up for me.

  • Leopard DVD won't boot after bad install

    I ran the leopard installation yesterday and I realized that i needed to do some more work on the drive before i installed, so i clicke cancel and restarted the computer. Now the dvd won't boot. I installed tiger again(came with laptop) and tried doing various other things with the disk. Almost any ntensive use of the disk (booting from it, trying to clone it, etc.) will result in the superdrive powering up and then down repeatedly, sans result. I left the leopard dvd to boot for hours and when it tries it gets to the grey logo and the drive does that power up/down cycle endlessly. I can boot from ubuntu's disk and the tiger disk that came with my computer. The disk mounts to the desktop, btw, and i can browse the files and everything. Apple support was no help.

    I've been doing some work with the disk. I did another attempt at creating a dmg from it and got the same result, so I googled the error which led me to a thread on this site with a similar issue. The error was input/output error. They found that it was due to a corrupt file... so I did a cp -r of the disk and it said that a few files did not exist:
    cp -r "Mac OS X Install DVD" /Users/mattebooks/Desktop/Leopard
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.5.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.1.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    So I set Finder to show hidden files and went to these files libpython and libpython2.5 are aliases of libpython2 and libpython2 is an alias of a file in a non-existing folder. A little more digging and I find out that the python, ruby, tcl and tk framework folders are all missing, all from the same folder... interesting. Maybe I could add the files in and reburn the disk. My guess is that the loader looks for these files repeatedly. The path to the files is /System/Library/Frameworks/... If anyone could email these to me I could try and rebuild the disk...

  • Early 2008 MacBook Pro won't boot after Lion 10.7.1 update

    My 2.4 GHz 4GB RAM Early 2008 MacBook Pro wont boot after downloaded the Lion 10.7.1 upate. Upon restarting the screen went dead and now the system does not boot, as if the bootloader has been wiped out. Screen appears dead but was known to be working before hand. The hard drive spins up but doesn't sound like it is searching for data.
    Can anyone help me?

    Okay, I tried everything I can think of last night. I removed every startup process and every tool or programm that goes deeper into the system (GlimmerBlocker, LittleSnitch, Parallels). Cleaned Up every Cache I could find and refreshed every necessary Cache or Database possible. Took me a couple of hours. But still no luck - the machine doesn't boot, just in safe mode. Right now I copy all my personal stuff to a new external harddrive because TimeMachine doesn't work, after this I will do a clean install of Lion.
    It's not hardware related, it's the 10.7.1 update that doesn't work properly. By the way, the only errors remaining are:
    WindowServer - kCGErrorFailure
    ManagedClient - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type
    SecurityAgent - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type

  • Mac Pro 2008 won't boot from install disc - black screen

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new hard drive to replace the original that came with my Mac Pro 2008.  I was able to format the new drive using Disk Utility. I am now at the point where I need to install OS X onto the new drive, but the computer refuses to boot from the disc. The disc is recognized by the computer (I can access the disc and am able to use the BootCamp applications, etc.) but I just get a black screen when trying to boot directly from the disc. The computer boots fine otherwise.
    I have tried the following:
    I have tried using both the gray install disc that came with the computer and the Snow Leopard Install DVD disc.
    I have tried booting using the "C" key and the "option" key but still receive a black screen following the chime (I've held these down for several minutes).
    I have tried restarting from either install disc using the Bootcamp Assistant.
    I have tried running the installation software to get it to restart from the disc.
    I have tried a combination of the drives, i.e. trying to boot from the discs with just the new drive installed, just the original drive installed, and with both in bay1 and 2.
    Everything results in the computer starting up, hearing the chime, and then nothing..just black screen. I have the original drive partitioned with BootCamp with OSX Snow Leopard and Windows 7 installed (I don't know that that matters).
    I am at a loss as to what to try next. It doesn't seem like the superdrive because it is recognizing the disc, it just won't boot from it.
    Any help is appreciated, thank you.

    Clone should be a must  and easy to do and learn (learn by doing! 2)
    6800 would 'qualify' as 5x70 series flashed etc and same rule: 10.6.5
    In the past there was 10.4.6, 10.5.6, but not 10.6.6 - even though strong need for such a DVD.
    10.6.8 DVD would  be excellent
    Lion or ML - buy, download, make an installer flash card would be what I would do at this point.
    Then keep both - dual boot as you learn and test and see what ML does and waht you had that required Rosetta to support PowerPC. See www.roaringapps.com about that.
    With Carbon Coyp Cloner - was share, now commercial, great utility been around since 10.2.2 at least - this time 2003. 10 yrs.
    You can clone the system folders, you can even selectively choose. You can skip copy of most of your home account and do that separately to another drive if  you want.
    Clone Windows with Paragon or WinClone and use Windows 7 or 8 DVD to do a system repair (automatic) or to edit the BCD file. It can and should - and all you do is boot Windows 7 DVD w/ only the one drive present and go at it. Piece of cake. But yes, Windows gets fussy if you change or remove or move. BCD to the rescue. A proper program for cloning like Paragon's "Clone OS" meant for going from disk drives to SSDs, knows that and how to do it.
    Back to how to clone etc:
    Clone
    Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly  Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

    The DVD is dependent on your hardware. And your hardware changed. The drivers for the 5780 and 6xxx are bundled in the OS and lacking. Minimum build thing.
    Put the new drive anywhere you want. Does not matter. Can move it later. Can be drive bay 0-3 or a Firewire external or under the DVD drive.
    When you clone pull the old drive and boot from the newly cloned.
    After that keep a backup clone around all the time. Takes less than 10 minutes to do a smart update to copy just the changes to keep it current. So you have working copy of the system. I keep Clone "A" that I keep "as was" the system as of last month or whatever (like 10.7.4 before upgrade to 7.5).
    Comes easier after doing it once and have all your ducks in a row.

  • Mac Pro 2009 won't boot.

    Hello,
    Since yesterday my computer simply refuse to boot (Mac Pro 2009, Quad-Core 2.93 with a flashed Radeon 5870).
    It was working fine the day before, I shut it down, unpluged it and when I came back the following day it wasn't working anymore.
    When I try to boot it I can hear the fans but not the starting "DONG" it should do.
    I tried to replace the graphic card with my old ATI 4870, tried to switch with some old RAM I had and tried to disconnect my hard drives one by one but it did nothing at all.
    The only thing I have is this red dignostical LED you can see on this picture. I tried to find it's meaning but I wasn't able to find anything.
    It would be nice if someone was able to tell me what this LED meant (and even nicer if it wasn't something expensive to replace !).
    Thanks !

    Hello once again,
    So, I finally had time to look a little deeper into this processor board and after removing the heatsink and cleaning the processor I noticed two little plastic screws (the ugly little red arrow on the picture I took from macbidouille.com, not the nice and big one) maintaining another heatsink on the board.
    I'm not sure what is the component under this heatsink but one of these screws was broken (they aren't really screws but I don't know how to explain in English) and the heatsink wasn't correctly positioned anymore so I replaced these two screws, put everything back in order (with some thermal grease on the processor and the unknown component) and everything worked like a charm when I was done.
    Thanks everyone for your help !

  • Mac Pro 2008 won't boot past spinning wheel

    I have a Mac Pro from late 2008 which turns on, makes the startup sound, and remains on the spinning wheel for about 30 seconds before the wheel freezes. I have Windows 8 installed on another internal drive and I can't boot past their version of the spinning wheel, either. I've tried booting off of the install disc (Snow Leopard, which is what the machine is running) and off of a USB stick with a Snow Leopard .dmg on it, neither of which have worked.
    I've done all the steps to fix a drive error, so I don't think it's that. I've read that it could be a graphics card error; has anyone else experienced trouble with theirs? Mine was a GeForce 7300, if I remember correctly. Thanks in advance.

    It certainly sounds like a graphics card problem.

  • Quickbooks Pro 2006 won't open after 10.4.9 update

    One of my clients has been using Quickbooks Pro 2006 for over a year with no problems. Immediately after installing the PowerPC 10.4.9 update on March 25, Quickbooks refused to open. Icon bounces in the dock a few times, then stops. Nothing opens. No other apps have been affected (as far as I know). Tried "reinstalling" Quickbooks - since it's just a matter of dragging the app to the hard drive, I removed the Application Support files and the preferences (plist) files, then removing the app and dragging a new copy from the CD. No go. (I then replaced the aforementioned files, since I don't know what effect their removal would have once I get the program running again.)
    Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions? My client is getting desperate, since he can't create any invoices without this software.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.
