Mac pro 2008 problems

I'm having problems with my Mac Pro 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon ,early 2008 model. It still works fast enough for all my apps, running CS6. Issues are
Software hanging, pen drives not showing in the finder sometimes, issues with CD drive too. A ? over startup drive.
I'm constantly having to shut it down with the power button, and to reboot. It rarely restarts properly.
I'm on Yosemite, and can't update iphoto. I have intermitent problems with itunes, its not finding iphones when plugged in?
Is there a fix it that I can download from the internet to fix all these bugging issues, details of my system below. Help please?
Model Name:    Mac Pro
Model Identifier:    MacPro3,1
Processor Name:    Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:    3.2 GHz
Number of Processors:    2
Total Number of Cores:    8
L2 Cache (per Processor):    12 MB
Memory:    12 GB
Bus Speed:    1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version:    MP31.006C.B05

Get a new system SSD boot drive. Do a clean install. Be careful what you import. SSD will give your system some juice.
Clone your system with Carbon Copy Cloner and enable the hidden advanced preference option - custom clone feature - to do a checksum on all files copied.
From your description, you should be doing both a SAFE BOOT and Recovery Mode to Repair Disk to fix the disk directory. Zap the PRAM from cold start and reset the STARTUP DISK setting.
I would not trust or rely on that drive and system as is for now.
Another, never use an unstable drive to install, or write to, should be using a backup spare system at this point.
Co clone it to SSD with CCC - after using DU and Safe Boot, and uninstalling any "non-essential" 3rd party app or background process and utilities. Lean, mean, stable and faster performance without the extras.
CS6: I would go for more RAM . FBDIMMs are downright affordable, look for NEMIX on Amazon while looking for Samsung 850 or Samsung XP941. Two: one for system, one for scratch, would be ideal. An EVGA 960 GTX to provide CUDA to CS6 maybe later or 970, more VRAM the better.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

Need help with Mac Pro (2008) iCloud sync problem

I am using a Mac Pro (Early 2008) with multiple drives and partitions, some of which I use for various software testing. I wanted to have access to the same data on various partitions, so I tried to use iCloud to store some Pages files. I found that in the Mountain Lion Partition that I normally use, that the document data ( Pages, Numbers, etc) would not upload to the cloud... just showed as waiting. All other iCloud Data ( Calendar, Address Book , etc) did sync fine. If I accessed iCloud using a browser or looked on iClould using the iCloud Manage function in the iCloud system preferences, I could see all the files. I then found that I did have another Mountain LIon partition in which the data syncing all worked. Other testing showed that if I did a clone of the working partition using SuperDuper, the clone worked properly, but if I did a clean install of 10.8.4, the document data did not sync.If I did a clean install and used the migration assistant to migrate from the working partition, it still did not work. I later found that if I replaced the top level Library file in a non working partition with the one from the working partition, that I could make the non working partition sync properly. I have not been able to find a subset of the folder that would make things work, but have not tried every combination. At this point my only conclusion is that there must be a bug in the 10.8.4 installer. Apple has been working on this for a few weeks, but has not found anything and cannot duplicate... but they are testing with iMacs.
Is there anyone with a Mac Pro (2008) who can do a clean install of 10.8.4 on a partition and see if they can still access their iCloud data (Pages, Numbers, Etc). If so that would probably confirm the otherwise unexplanable problem.

My Mac pro 2008, not running after the Apple logo, i rebooting and i rebooting

My Mac Pro 2008 no boot afther the Logo Apple, reboot, reboot and reboot only, and in XP, the graphic is pertubed with bad graphics ... the mémory it's good, and i thinks my card graphic is out. SRY for my english, it's not my language. Help my please, my apple care is finished 10/2011, and i will repared itself. Many thanks. Alain Muno

Not saying this IS your problem, but … I just went through avery similar problem with Mac Pro3,1. Here is my story.
On boot of any Mac OP system drive, internal or externalHDD, (Lion or Snow Leopard), original Mac Pro install CD, Snow Leopard CD,nothing. (Would only go to gray screen,apple logo, spinning gear that would stop spinning after about a minute.) But, it would boot on XP drive. However, in XP, on Windows black startupscreen, had alternating columns of two different patters of blue dots and XPgraphics were not as they should be (larger icons on desk top, slow response,different size of desk top (maybe 600x400 when it should have been1024x768). Supplied hardware test showedno failures. Took it to shop. Their better diagnostics showed nofailures. All peripherals (my drives, myCDs, etc, disconnected. (NOTE: they didnot try a new video card since they did not have one.) Still would not start even using their drives(external or internal). Shop tried a newlogic board. That did not work and theyput the original one back in. Shop saidall they could come up with was new processors. This was not a cost effective option and they had none to try.
After thinking about it more, I figured it could be thevideo card: the original 8800 GT that came with the Mac: that it was so bad itwould not start in Mac OS but would limp along in XP. I was all set to buy another vid card one-bay just to try. While doing thatresearch, came across several articles on the Internet that discussed vid cardfailure due to micro-cracks in some solder joints. These develop due to age/heat cycles. The proposed fix was to ‘reflow’ the solder. Figured it was worth a try before spendingthe money on a new vid card. Found thesedetailed instructions on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7um_hZYom4 I followed the procedure, put the vid cardback in, and now it works just fine.
I did not and would not do this until I had ruled outeverything else. But, it has worked forothers and it did work for me.

Mac Pro 2008 Can't start Windows 7 / 8 Installer

I'm trying to load Windows 8 (And have previously tried everything with Windows 7) on my Mac Pro early 2008 with Mountain Lion, and cannot get the installers to initiate.
When I start the bootcamp assistant and reboot, my mac freezes before ever getting to the installer. When I reboot and hold option to manually select the installer, it freezes as soon as I select it. I've tried this from a DVD, USB, and even an install partition i setup on my HD, all with the same freezing results. This is a legitimate copy of Windows 8 system builder I'm working with and have installed it perfectly in Parallels.
I should note I upgraded my video card a long time ago to a gt 120, so I'm wondering if the video card might be the problem. I've installed Windows 7 with this video card in the past so I'm guessing this is a Mountain Lion/Bootcamp 5 issue.
Has anyone else with a Mac Pro 2008 succesfully installed Windows 7/8 from Mountain Lion/Bootcamp 5?
Any input would be immensely appreciated!

There are no Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers. Windows 8 is not supported.
Use Parallels or Fusion to install Windows 8. By doing so you eliminate the need for drivers since the virtual machine creates virtual hardware and drivers.
Once the Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers are developed and released you can then install using Bootcamp Assistant.
Read this forum. Some people are posting that they had some success with the Bootcamp install. but if you have to rely on your computer then don't take the chance.

Mac Pro 2008 or iMac 27 i7 ? Which to choose?

I am looking to upgrade to a faster Mac from my current Macbook Pro and decided either on an iMac 27 inch i7 2.8 GHz 8 Gigs RAM 4870 Video card or buy a used Mac Pro 2008 with 2 x 2.8GHz 4 Core (8 core total) with 10 Gigs RAM and an 8800GT video card.
Both come to almost the same price. Problem is I don't know which to get. The system will be used mainly for software development, running windows 7 and linux as Virtual Machine, some light gaming, and music (sampling, etc)
I love the iMac's LED screen and the i7 certainly is fast but love the Mac Pro's expandability in terms of hard drives and memory and I would use it on my 30 inch LCD. That said, would I ever go past the Mac Pro's configuration of 2 TB's of drives (maybe) and more than 10 Gigs RAM (don't know)? You're stuck with the iMac in terms of hard drives forced to add slow external cases.
The Mac Pro is over 2 years old at this point but I know the Mac Pro is a work horse and the iMac has had issues.
Anyone have an opinion on this? Might it be worth saving some more cash (although would take another 6 months) and getting a 2009 Mac Pro?
Let me know...

Asked a lot and the new iMac makes it look better, but not for triple boot unless you stict to VMs most of the time. The freedom of having alternate OSs on their own drives and such.
AppleInsider gave the high end iMac makes sense if you go that route, and if you would need a monitor as well?
Barefeats has posted a number of tests of the iMacs
http://www.barefeats.com
Even the 2009 $2149 4-core is no slouch and easier to find and work with.
At that price, you are close to the 2010. So wait another 36 hrs.

Mac Pro 2008, no soundcard with Lion

Hi,
I installed on my Mac Pro 2008 Lion and remarked, there is no more soundcard
I returned to Snow Leopard and the sound worked
now, I wanted to have iCloud with my other Apple Hardware, but when I restarted the Mac Pro while the Installation of Lion, the Soundcard was away.
So I think, this is obvious a problem of Lion!
Is there any update to avoid this?
Heeeeelp!

I figured, but it was worth a try... I deleted the Bootcamp partition and tried again witht the mac pro only but same resultes over and over, As soon as the mac begins to load from the windows install DVD the screen goes black and the display times out and goes to sleep, thought windows is still loading the disk can clearly be heard loading the installer for windows, but I can't see anything... "no signal" is the only feedback from the monitor.

Mac Pro 2008 error on boot

Hello,
My Mac Pro 2008 has become very unstable. It reboots on shut down, briefly wakes from sleep repeatedly and has resently been displaying the error below on boot.
I've done a fresh install + removed everything thats not essential. Tried a PRAM and SMC reset.
Any help would be much appriciated!
Thanks

Sorry! Worlds slowest reply.
You were spot on and removing it worked a treat.
I've been having a lot of problems with permissions changing so no apparent reason. Have you heard of anything like that happening on fresh(ish) installs of Mavericks?
Things like ACL appearing on everything in my Applications folder!?
Thanks.

Mac Pro 2008 Won't Start Up without Option Key

Hi.
I cannot start up my Mac Pro 2008 without holding down the Option key.
My Snow Leopard internal hard drive failed, so I replaced my failed internal drive with a brand new one and put the cloned backup onto it. I also have other internal drives and partitions with systems 10.5.6, 10.7.5, and 10.8.4. I briefly added a Mavericks partition, but removed it.
I THINK the problems started after the HD failure, but I'm not sure. I added no peripherals recently, although I did add 4 gigs of RAM which were faulty and I had to replace them. But they test fine with a memory test.
If I Restart, the Mac comes up with a grey screen and won't boot into any system.
If I Shut down, then Start up, I get the gray screen.
In System Preferences, I can see every single possible Startup Drive, but no matter which one I select, the same gray screen happens on boot up.
However, if I hold down the Option key (from startup or restart), then I can choose any startup volume and it starts just fine.
I've run Disk Utility many times for Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on every volume. I've run Disk Warrior. I've zapped the SMC/PRAM, etc. I've tried starting up from external firewire drives and USB drives. No matter which drive I select in StartUp Disk Preferences, it's the same grey screen.
I've tried starting up with ZERO peripherals attached except for USB keyboard and mouse.
I've taken out all startup and login items.
I'm don't know what else to try. I don't mind using the Option key every time, but I'm worried it's a sign of impending problems.
Thanks!

Barry, thanks for your reply. Yes, that's what I mean when I wrote:
"In System Preferences, I can see every single possible Startup Drive, but no matter which one I select, the same gray screen happens on boot up."
I selected a default startup volume in sys preferences, closed it, and restarted. I tried every volume possible in turn.
But thanks for doublechecking

Mac Pro 2008 always crash after sleep and after first start

Hello, new in the forum,
2 years ago, I replaced the main disk of a Mac Pro 2008 for a SSD Samsung 470 256 Go.
Until then, it always crashed 1 or 5 minutes after sleep mode (which I didn't used much), and not always 10 to 15 minutes after the first start of the day.
No matter if I was working on it or not… Suitcase installed or not (no font problem here). Rest of the day was fine (if no sleep !).
The difference of speed was so big and "good" that I dealed with it. I though that the Mac Pro was a little old for the SSD technology, and that Apple would fix it, with chance…
2 weeks ago, I installed Maverick :
I got crashs during the work flow too. I needed to re-start 3 times at least… Re-start without extension was ok (or not), re-start, crash, re-start without extension, restart ok. I used Onyx, did PRAM too. And sometimes, I needed to re-install Maverick or even to do a clean-install !
So I suspected the Samsung 470 for all (sleep and work crashs) and replaced it for a Samsung 840 Pro 512 Go.
And the Mac Pro returned to Mountain Lion.
Not really better : no crash one day (yeeeees!) and crash after the first start the next day (nooooo!). Every time I tested sleep mode, it crashed.
My system :
Mac Pro 3.1 - 2,8 GHz - Quad
Mountain Lion, 10 Go ram DDR2, ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, 30' cinema display.
Adobe CS5 alone (minimal install) with Onyx to repair after each crash.
Could it be the video card, the mother board, the age of the boy ?
Thanks a lot !
Christophe S

Edit !
I said that Finder and apps were blocked after 10 seconds (without extension).
But it was to clic on Launchpad that blocked all, and 5 minutes later it works again.
I did clic again on Launchpad, it blocked and 2 minutes later it appeared full screen but with rainbow circle, and quit.
- Restarted with extensions. Kernel panic!
- Restarted the mac and the grey screen with Apple blocked, without any mouse this time. 15 minutes later, still blocked.
- Forced restart without extension. Here are the reports of Kernel Panic and EtreCheck:

Apple Mac Pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core

Hey guys,
Ive got a real brain teaser. I have a apple mac pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core that wont boot.
The leds on the memory test good its all tested in another mac and working well.
The 9 leds are reading as follows 2nd led lit yellow. Led 9,8,7 Green- which from my research is good.
Ive also reset the cmos battery and vram, nothing.
Pulled the memory and video card and re-seated them also nothing.
The last thing i tryed was shut the computer down sit for 30 seconds then held alt and got the install mac os screen not a hard drive option.
Which leads me to think its not seeing the hard drive?
Any suggestions?

Starts up with fans
Makes the apple chime
The chime is generated in software when the first portion of the power-on self test has passed.Your Mac is working and has enough working RAM memory to start up.
You still may have problems with drives, the software on those drives, or your graphics card.
apple logo comes up
The dark gray Apple is loaded by the ROM boot loader in the first blob of software (before the file system is initialized). Its presence indicates your Mac can get some stuff off a Hard Drive, and seeing it indicates your graphic card can display something in a primitive way.
with spinning gear and just sits there for hours
It is stuck booting up something. Verbose Mode (hold Command-V at startup) will show you the parade of messages. The last five will tell you what happened.

Cannot install Vista Ultimate 64bits on Mac Pro 2008

Hello,
I'm trying to install Vista Ultimate 64bits on my new Mac Pro (2008, 2x Quad Core, 3x 500GBHDD, 16 GB Ram), but Vista is unable to find a correct partition type.
The first thing I did was to install a 4th HD, and I constantly received an error 0x80004005 which seems to be too generic.
Then I tried to install it on the 3rd HD (Bay 2 is where my OS X startup disk is located btw) but here no way neither....Windows cannot find a valid partition.....
I tried to partition it manually in MBR...same problem....
Then with BootCamp assistant...same problem...
I also tried to use Vista Business 64 SP1, same problem...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hello,
Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately I'm still stuck...
To resume the situation :
I put a brand new 250GB SATA in the bay 4.
I start Bootcamp Assistant and tell him that I want to use this new disk for Windows and then start Vista x64 install.
Vista sees 2 partitions on this new disk :
Disk 3 Partition 1 : 200 MB (Primary)
Disk 3 Partition 2 : 230 GB (Primary)
If I try to use the P2 for the install, I have to format it first. Once formatted, Vista says : This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.
If I try to use the 200 MB (just for fun..), then I also have to format it, but here I receive the error message 0x8000xxxx
So clearly I'm lost...
Could it be related to the 16 GB RAM ? Too much for Vista ?? I don't believe as this is Vista x64...
Thanks for your help, ideas..
Patrick

Replacement mac pro 2008 motherboard

Hi,
It looks as if the logic board in my dual quad core 3Ghz mac 2008 mac pro has died.
Rebooted it last night and I just get the grey screen, apple logo and spinning icon
Removed all peripherals and network connections - no change
tried to boot into safe mode and the sequence gets so far and then the machine shuts down
removed all internal disks apart from system disk - no change
replaced system disk with backup system disk - no change
reset the EFI - no change
removed some 4Gbyte memory DIMMS I'd installed recently - no change
Took backup system disk into work and put into same age chassis and disk booted just fine.
So
1). Found a mac pro 2008 used motherboard for £345 on ebay - eek!!
2). If all I need is a motherboaed, can I install a newer mac pro motherboard in the chassis I've currently got?

have to agree, $600+ part www.dvwarehouse.com
sounds like they really did not address (all) the problems and went for a superficial renstall the system with a new drive instead.
10.7.5 may not be ideal OS for 3,1 2008s
FBDIMMs are cheap now and higher quality, $64 8GB (I'll bet they soaked you though)
SMC Reset for won't start
the OEM graphic card, those are a MUST replace list, esp for 10.7.5 but for anyone too
10.8.3 makes sense
you have to avoid any old plugin drivers software now or go back to 10.6.8 which some find more reliable and because they rely on Rosetta to run PowerPC coded software.

Mac Pro (2008) do not start up

When i try to start my Mac Pro (2008) i only get the Fan to run with high speed and the power light/status light flash with high speed continusly. No video on the screen and no HD acctivity. Do someone know about this problem? I have to reset the PRAM and reset the SMC with no better result.

Yep, I get the same, but only occasionally, as I mostly put it to "sleep" but when away for length of time (e.g. a week or so), I turn it off:
When the fans spin and nothing happens, just press the power on button once more and it switches off. Press the power on button again, and it should start up.
Have a look in the manual and see if your logic board battery needs replacing. (page 46 of the manual)

Adding USB 2.0 ports to a Mac Pro 2008

Hi,
I love my Mac Pro 2008! Great machine, awesome performance, but I need more ports Who needs only three USB ports in the back, that's a joke!
Anyways, I just bought 2 StarTech 6-port USB 2.0 PCI cards from an online vendor, but quickly found out that it didn't fit my Mac. The description of the card even says it is compatible with Mac OS X. I suspect that Apple have changed the PCI slots for something else in the Mac Pro 2008. What are they and can we buy USB card that fit those slots? If so where? I am desperate for more ports.

You may have stumbled upon or checked some of the support pages?
http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
- which has a link to an article titled "about your PCI Express slots"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304122
Specs 2008: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP11:
PCI Express expansion7
Three open full-length PCI Express expansion slots
One PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot
Two PCI Express x4 slots
And of course support for up to four PCI Express video cards; Fibre Channel; Mac Pro RAID.
You could install a powered USB hub, or FW/USB2, as long as you have free slots for more. I have FW800, a 1x Sonnet Tempo (couple storage drives), and a 4x Tempo (multiple RAID sets; Port Multiplier card and multi-drive enclosures and 4 channels).
