Mac pro 2014 restarting unexpedly

Well. I just posted about this and Apple removed my post. I guess I put too much emotion into my post. So this time i'll shorten it:
My $10,000 mac pro keeps restarting with no warning. Apple refuses to replace it or give me a refund. I am hurt. Anyone else having a unexpected restart problem with their mac pro 12-cores?
thanks

Hi everyone,
and thanks for your responses... Let me try to fill you in w more details:
Grant - No Kernel Panic... . no error message before or after it restarts, no nothing...
Almost every time this has occurred i was doing something that uses heavy cpu.... either a) rendering in Aftereffects b) rendering in Cinema 4D c) batch outputting lots of video from quicktime 7 (converting prores to h264) and one single time... i was simply using photoshop... nothing crazy.... Most the times this has happened i had other apps open... Mail, Safari, other adobe products, spotify or iTunes...
Thuhaib - No Firewire on the new Mac Pros... only peripherals plugged in are monitor... mouse, keyboard... ethernet, ethernet to server...
Another problem i have (know idea if related) is that if Im using After Effects. and my computer goes to sleep... when it wakes up... the audio is no longer connected to After Effects... I have to reelect "built in audio out" in the after effects prefs... or simply (and faster) hit and restart aftereffects to get the audio routed back properly. This happens EVERY time it goes to sleep. I haven't noticed any other programs that lose audio routing settings... but i almost exclusively work in After Effects all day long.
I have AppleCare. This was deemed a hardware problem in March. I brought it in and the cpu was replaced. However the problem has persisted. To my utter dismay... Apple will not replace my computer. I am a loyal customer of 15+ years.

Mac Pro 2014 & Samsung Legacy TV

Try to make this short.
My system Rotel recievor, Mac Mini (os 10.9.3) and Seamsung Lecacy (65" 4K) works fine.
Replace the Mac Mini with Mac Pro (2014) and no video.
Bi-pass Rotel and video works.
Interestingly the "Display" screen using OS 10.9.3 on the Mac Mini allows refresh rates to be set but same screen and OS on Mac Pro does not allow refresh to be adjusted). Same OS, different settings allowed.
Perhaps the Mac Pro video card simply will not "handshake" through the Rotel?
Apple Level 2 support has no suggestions.
Do I have any alternative other than to wait for Apple to someday update their OS to support Samsung Legacy?
thanks

To get a picture on a Mac, the display must respond to an EDID query from the Mac with its name and capabilities. These queries happen only at certain times, and if there is no response, the screen stays dark.
The query is sent:
• At Startup
• on use of the Option-( Detect Displays ) button in System Preferences > Displays
• When the Mac-end of the cable is changed (inserted or removed)
• On Wake from Sleep
A display that is set to a different port, or talking through a receiver set to a different port, will not answer the query and will stay dark.
I am presuming you are trying to use HDMI cables for this display. That is difficult to get right for displays over 1920 by 1080p, but your complaint was 'No display', not too low a resolution.

Mac Pro is restarting itself

Yesterday, my Mac Pro started restarting itself and giving me a message that there may be a problem. I'm not sure what to do, so I thought I'd share the Problem Report in case any of the more tech saavy people out there could spot the problem.
I tried posting the Problem report here, but I got a "You Have included content in your post that is not permitted." So here is the Pastebin address:
http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=3UWFfXbi

A page fault occurred in kerneltask. Drivers recently referenced include the caldigit driver.
You are not running the Mac OS X kernel. You have added about 17 third-party add-ons, shown at the beginning of the list of kernel extensions, which are likely making it unstable.
Pace app is a known bad actor that is installed with high-priced software. You will need to consult the manufacturer for removal instructions.
Soundflower driver has been troublesome.
you have drivers for both highpoint and caldigit and logitech cards. ¿ do you need them all?
Something about the way you collected that panic log has it tagged in a formatted, numbered list. Perhaps you passed it through some other program rather than simply Copying from Console and Pasting with the forum software ?

Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
1. Is this true?; and
2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
1TB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading. I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Random Playback glitches with Premiere CC 7.2.2 on Mac Pro 2014

I am having random playback glitches on my Mac Pro 2014. I can't figure out the cause since its only in the playback and export of the footage. The source footage is glitch free.
I have noticed these two warnings when loading Premiere and Encode.
[cl_invalid_operation] OpenCL Error : Failed to retrieve device information! Invalid enumerated value!
Are the glitches due to this OpenCL Error and how can I fix it?

Ya, I'm very confused that this glitch is so below the radar. I would have imagine the editors would be up in arms. Unless they found some solution for it that's out there somewhere.
Because paying so much for a system which can't be fully utilized in a production is definitely cause for concern.

Mac pro 2014 JUDDER

Hi, I've already bought a new Mac Pro 2014 (6 core, 64 gb Ram, 2 Fire Pro D700, plus 24tb thunderbolt 2 Pegasus 8 bay Raid) as I'm editing a documentary series for the Spanish National Broadcasting Television (TVE). We shoot in 4k with Both Canon C500 (with external Odyssey recorder) and Canon Eos 1DC. As it is for Spanish TV it was recorded in 25p (1/50 shutter). The point is that whichever file I try to play (straight in quicktime player , or in any NLE as FCPX or Premiere or avid MC7, and not only 4k files, but 1080 proxy's that are simultaneously recorded into the C500, they all show Judder on play as soon as the take starts a pan, a tilt or a zoom in. I have changed my monitors ( 4 different ones as Nec Spectraview, Dell U2713H, etc) refreshing rate,from native 60 mhz to 50 and no difference. The point is that footage that as it had special lighting we recorded at 1/60 shutter doesn't show that artifact, nor any ntsc tryouts recorded with another camera (sony EX1 1080 30p) neither. Files formats are prores 444 4k for those coming from the oddyssey recorder, mxf mov 4k from the EOS 1 DC, and mxf mov 1080 hd from the proxy recorder in the Canon C500. SO, what I am supposed to do for watching properly 25p recorded footage?

Mac Pro 2014 USB Keyboard not working for log-in.

I have a Mac Pro 2014 with two thunderbolt displays and an apple USB keyboard. Whenever I boot up the computer the keyboard doesn't seem to work at first. Often I get hung up on the log-in screen pushing keys to no effect until the bluetooth keyboard dialog comes up. Then after that sits fruitlessly looking for a non-existent keyboard for about 30sec the USB keyboard will start to work. In total I'd say this delays logging in by about a minute. During this whole time the USB mouse and Wacom tablet work. After logging in everything works fine.
Also this might be related, if the computer goes to sleep it can take several attempts to wake it up before I'll get a login screen.

Mine was also fresh out of the box. My reseller in Iceland could verify this and this was the solution. I first thought it was the Icelandic keyboard. Reported it as bug.

Is the new mac pro 2014 upgradable? if so which parts?

I am a Video editor and graphic designer. i want to know how far can i expand the new mac pro 2014.. which parts on the machine are upgradable.

It is actually "Late 2013" in Apple parlance. Most use "nMP" for New Mac Pro" or you could call it a 6,1
There is no sign or confirmation that the Dxxx can be upgraded unless from another nMP, doubt there will be upgrades while SSD etc are and Apple shows how on product support page how to remove and install memory and the SSD device.

Re: My Mac Pro spontaneously restarts

My Mac Pro spontaneously restarts too!!!
I have Mac Book Pro 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, and run Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Darwin) purchased late Nov 2009; For the past 2 weeks it started spontaneously restarting itself. I don't have an apple care. Anybody was able to resolve this problem? My computer restarts about 2 -3 times a day and mostly when I am not arround. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same here happens wd me on my MacBook Pro early 2011 after the 10.8.5 update even after the supplemental update.
If u are not using 10.8.5 then please run a Hardware test on ur mac with the dvd that came with it and if ur hardware is corrupted then it will display an error code note it down and go to the Apple Service Center.

Why does my Mac Pro spontaneously restart?

My Mac Pro suddenly restarted and continues to do so when I sign back in. I can't use it more than five minutes without a spontaneous restart. I put in the OS installation disc and manually restarted from it and then went to disk utilities to repair my startup drive. Did this and nothing changed. Still continues to restart again and again and again. I'm trying to back up on external drive but that takes time and the computer restarts a few minutes into the backup procedure interrupting it. What can I do?
Thanks

There are so many replies, I don't know if anyone has solved this, but I have found something that has worked for me, twice, on my Mac Pro Tower 2008, OS 10.6.8. Like everyone else, my Mac was restarting by itself over and over. Here's what I did: 1) Clean up the dust inside (canned air and wiping down the flat surfaces that had a ton of dust on them. 2) Remove the video card and reseat it. Pulling the card out can be a bit of a trick, it can seem stuck, but you just have to pull firmly (ok, don't forget to unscrew the little screws that hold it in, and don't drop 'em!). Just pull it 'up' a few inches away, enough to pull it free of the contacts.
I suggest immediately reseating it, rather than pulling the card out to inspect and then realize that re-positioning it is awkward, especially if you haven't pulled the vid card before. Old pros can ignore this recommend.
This worked for me a few years ago and just recently (Late April 2015) the problem resurfaced. I can't say that cleaning did the trick, but it was awfully dusty inside my Mac anyway. Perhaps related (or not!), I've replaced my video card twice now, so I'm on my third vid card. They just don't seem to last.
I don't guarantee anything, but if you haven't tried this, give it a shot and best of luck to you!

When I shut down the Mac Pro, it restarts

Has anyone run into this issue with their Mac Pro? When I shut down the computer (either via the Ctrl + Option + Cmd + Eject or the Shut Down command from the Apple menu drop down), the Mac Pro will simply restart and take me back to my log-in screen.
At this point, I can hit the shut down button on the login window and it will shutdown, but this is annoying, a waste of time, and unnecessary.
I have tried performing an SMC reset, but it has not resolved this issue.
Specs: Mac Pro (2010)
3.33 GHz 6-Core
(2) 2TB Internal HDD
12GB ram
ATI 5870 graphics card (1GB)

I have noticed the exact same behaviour. It only happens when I have something plugged into one of the front USB ports (example : external HD, USB key)
Apparently the system crashes during the shut down process, and then reboots.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution

My Mac Pro keeps restarting & I don't know why

Hi,
It's happened three times now, twice when I was asleep and once when I actually witnessed it happen.
When I saw it happen, it was as if someone had pulled the power plug out of the back, it was that quick. I was typing along and suddenly zap, it powered off instantly! It wasn't a power outage - I have a UPS with a loud obnoxious alarm, so I'd have know were that the case. Besides, in all three instances I checked the clocks in the house and none of them were flashing 12:00, it wasn't a power outage.
When it happens, it reboots immediately (of course that's not instant, it takes the usual amount of time to boot up), and it's waiting at the login screen.
I'm getting concerned, and I'd sure like it to stop doing this. Especially considering what I paid for this machine (around $7,000, not counting the monitor and all the extras)
It's a Mac Pro, 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon running 10.8.3.
At one point I bought more ram (32GB) and I honestly can't remember if the first time it restarted was before or after I had bought this ram or after. Could bad ram explain it? If so, can I test it? Other thoughts I've had - can a failing hard drive do that? I didn't think so but I don't know. Or maybe a surge from a device that's connecting via USB (not all my usb devices are going through my UPS)? Bad ram?? It'd be great it if were something simplie like a failing power supply, I really hope it's not the motherboard or CPU.
I'm not quite sure how to read the "Problem Details and System Configuration" upon restart (the dialog box that comes up explaining that the computer was restarted because of a problem, and would I like to send a report to Apple), but I've pasted that info below my message.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
Thanks,
-Adam

Thank you all for your input.
The hatter, thanks for the info. It's a CyberPower UPS probably six years old. I'm not sure what the lifespan is on these UPSs, whether it's getting old or not. Also thanks for the info on how to effectively test the RAM, from subsequent posts it sounds like it's likely (hopefully) not the ram, but if it comes to that I'll know how to test it now, thank you.
Grant and Linc, yeah, I have a lot of crapware in my kernel. If that's the cause of my problem, I'm very releived!! I'm glad it's probably not a hardware problem.
I'd love to figure out how to remove the crapware, but I don't know if that's possible. I haven't manually rebuilt a kernel since I was using Gentoo, ages ago. If it's not possible, I'll resintall from scratch again. It's carried over from many years of OS X upgrades, so a fresh start would be great anyway, I'm sure. The only addons I'll keep are ExpanDrive (fantastic application that mounts FTP sites as locally mounted RW drives that you can access in the finder), and Little Snitch, you all know what that is I'm sure. I'll see if there's an alternative to Logitech's crapware, I really like being able to use all my special keyboard and mouse buttons but for a long time I've thought their drivers and software are very poorly designed. And then Audio Hijack Pro, hopefully it only needs to add one or two kernel modules (as far as I know soundflower has been obsolete a while now).
Can/does a Kernel panic shut down a computer that quickly? It was literally instantaneous, I didn't get that warning screen in all the different languages, it was just down in a flash.
Thank all for your help, all this crapware in my kerenel causing this problem seems extremely plausible and I'm releived it's probalby not my motherboard! My next step will probably be to install OS X from scratch.

My Mac Pro Keeps Restarting! It Won't Stop RESTARTING! Over & Over RESTART!

My HUGE Mac Pro, 3 GHz Dual Processors, 4 GB Ram, purchased December 2007 has had a problem of restarting over and over until I insert the start up disks and reinitialize the system. It will run for about 5 restarts then once again – RESTART OVER & OVER until I hold the start button to stop it. (Ironic, isn’t it)
The third party programs I'm running are:
* BOINC,
* Bryce 5,
* Firefox,
* Pages,
* Photoshop CS3,
* Poser 7,
* Vue6.
ALL of which are checked to be compatible with this GIGANTIC CHEESE GRADER. My MacBookPro3.1, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz run’s them just fine. (Slower than my old Vio but runs just the same)
My six-month phone customer service expired and now because the computer's crashed & the wireless keyboard won't open the DVD tray to accept my continued three-year service plan on CD, they won't talk with me. I feel SO cheated and without some assistance will probably check myself into an insane asylum with ALL the other people switching from PC to Mac.
My last RUDE Apple customer service person at Apple said it not their problem. <edited by host> In the past, I feel so rushed with Apple customer service then shortly after we reinstall the software, the same problem of restarting happens. One Apple customer service rep even said they have had a problem with this with others.
* SO now, how do I open the CD tray with a PC keyboard for reinstalling the software? I looked for a place to stick a paperclip in the tray to open it, none!
* How can I stop the MacPro from always restarting?
* How do I get a piece of the +$700 billion bailout+?

I bet the Apple rep said that guy was rude, too since you seem to be.
How many of these apps, obviously not CS3, FIrefox and Pages, are tweaks that startup from the login items? Any of them? Start there and remove them.
You can register for Applecare if you bought it by calling Applecare. Though holding the mouse button down when booting will open the CD drive as well.
