Mac Pro crashes multiple times after rebooting from boot camp

Everytime i reboot into OSX after using Vista in boot camp, i crash within seconds (grey screen takes over saying i need to hold down power button, etc.) i reboot. get back on my desktop in OSX and apple wants me to send the information because the comp shut down improperly, but within seconds, i crash again. this process repeats about 4-6 times till it finally is able to stay on and not have to reboot.
i have a mac pro 8-core with OS 10.5.4. I use boot camp (unsure of version is that matters) and Vista Business Version.
this only happens when i restart into OSX after using boot camp vista. anyone know what may be the problem? i feel reluctant to use boot camp knowing the problems i will face once i return to OSX. not to mention, the wear and tear my comp is suffering from the manual shut downs and restarts.

Lol.
I'm sorry but that genius is waaaay off. it has nothing to do with windows, it has to do with the way EACH OS stores the time in the hardware EFI/BIOS
Its a known issue with using two different platforms
OSX reads time for the time zone its selected windows doesnt think it needs to change all the time, so it creates its based off the previous changes in BIOS/EFI
The time should auto-adjust in Windows/OSX or just click Update Time in either
icrosoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems handle your computer's date and time information differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch operating systems. For best results, use a network time server and resync the date and time whenever you switch operating systems. In Mac OS X, use the “Set date & time automatically” option in the Date & Time preferences. In Microsoft Windows, click the Update Now button in the “Date and Time Properties” control panel.

  • Mac Pro will not sleep after reboot from Win 7 into OS X

    I have the same problem as mentioned in this short thread; http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11410973

    The problems started (I think) after I replaced my Nvidia GT120 with a ATI Radeon HD 5770.

  • External USB drive not recognized in OS X after rebooting from Boot Camp

    Thanks in advance for any help. Here's the situation:
    Everything works fine in OS X (10.5.2). In particular I have an external USB harddrive that I keep my iTunes songs on.
    Then I boot via Boot Camp into Windows XP and play a few games. Then I reboot out of XP and back into OS X. At that point the external USB harddrive does not show up on the desktop. If I turn off the harddrive and turn it back on again, it shows up and is usable. I can continue to do that, but I would appreciate any advice on how to get the harddrive to show up when rebooting from XP (without requiring it to be turned off and on).
    Thanks!

    I've surfed around already before having my problem posted here because it's so frustrated…
    AnaMusic: I've tried that but it isn't worked
    Eric Ross: it's checked
    LexSchellings: I did run "verify disk" and "repair disk" -> but no luck… My hard drive isn't mounted to Lion as shown in status. Is it something to do with NTFS format? I came across some forum and read that Lion is design to natively support NTFS..
    Are there any ways around???

  • Mac System Settings Keep Resetting After Restart from Boot Camp

    Not sure what to make of it but it's highly annoying. Most of the time when I restart my computer back into the Mac partition after I've been using Windows XP on BootCamp, most of my system settings are reset. The most obvious ones I run into are desktop background, Safari homepage, and the Spaces preferences, but there are others. Help. Thanks.

    Did that reset, then rebooted into BootCamp, then restarted into the Mac. Settings appear OK, but I will try it a few more times over the next couple days to be sure. I thought it odd that it does it much of the time, but not all the time.... If it stays this way I'll post this as answered in a few days. If not, then I'll let you know that, too! Thanks guys!

    I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
    So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
    Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
    Thank you.

    You're welcome
    Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

  • I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

    i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

    Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
    The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
    (there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
    The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
    Hope it work now mate!

  • Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp

    Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp

    What version of OS X are you running on your MBPr?
    If you open Applications > Utilities, you should see Boot Camp Assistant in that folder.
    That is the utility which will create the partition into which you can install Windows that you have purchased from Microsoft.

  • Mac Pro restart every time it wakes from sleep

    I wonder if anyone has this problem, it is not a big one but annoying. Every time I wake my Mac Pro from sleep it restarts, why is that and can it be fixed? Or there is something wrong with this model?
    Model info:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz

    It is big if the hard drive directory is corrupt in the process.
    It was common when 2008 first came out, there is/was a firmware update to address this - and a long thread from March era 2008.
    Underpowered UPS can also cause this behavior.

  • Mac's clock being changed after rebooting from XP in FAT32

    Hi everyone, I understand that some people have issues with boot camp not being able to find Windows during startup while holding the 'Option' button - I'm stucked with that too unfortunately. But here's another thing, has anyone notice that the clock under Mac would constantly change after it is loaded back in Leopard, after using XP? I seem to have this problem. After finishing using Windows and booting back into Mac using the BT's control panel, my Mac's clock is like a few hours behind and I constantly have to click on it to change it back. Funny no? Anybody having this issue - using the FAT32 or NTSF format?

    Lol.

  • Mac Pro 1.1 won't restart from boot HD or install DVD

    I have a MacPro 1.1 quad which won't finish the restart sequence from Boot HD or the Install DVD. I also can't get the DVD to boot to anything but hardware test (D key), which I ran and passed. After reading lots of posts about similar problems, I was pretty sure that it is my ATI Radeon 1900 card gone bad killing the restart right after the Grey apple screen. Then, while trying everything I could think of and finally getting the OPTION key restart to get the Startup Manager, I noticed my old boot camp partition (VISTA) that I had played around with, but never used much. After several failed attempts to get the install DVD to boot, I tried the boot camp partition and to my amazement, after a pause, windows started up. (That's actually how I'm writing this now.)
    I ran some tests on the graphics card from windows and it appears to be running fine, albeit a little hot.  So now the question: Can the graphics card still be the culprit when it performs ok on the Windows side?  
    Windows also says that the OSX boot partition of the same drive that boot camp is on can't be read (using MacDrive). But a Seagate HDD diag tool checked the drive and found no errors. I guess that could be part of my problem, but then why wouldn't it boot from the install DVD or in safe mode. I even tried putting the install DVD in my macbook and booting from there in Target mode, with no luck. Also, my install DVD is the original Leopard that came with the machine, but I had upgraded to 10.6.8 later. Would that cause the DVD not to work as a boot disc?  I just want to get to the Disk Utility so I can reinstall.
    Any knowledge or help would be so appreciated!
    Thanks

    I have a Mac Pro 1.1 and recently starting having issues. I was running out of drive space for my Vista drive I use Bootcamp. I decided to reinstall Vista on a bigger drive. I went through the normal procedure and had a **** of time installing Vista until I removed the main Lion SSD. Lion has Windows 7 drivers only. So I wanted to reinstall Snow Leopard on a blank drive and get those drivers.
    Mac Pro will not read or mount the SL installation DVD. It mounted once and could barely read anything but at a slow rate. I cleaned the disk, but after that despite holding down not the C and D keys at boot up and using Option at boot up the SL kept getting spitted out. Tonight I took it apart and cleaned it with compressed air and vacuum cleaner. I popped the DVD again and it spit it out. I put a DVD movie and it mounted fine. I'm ripping it as we speak. I've done this before just want to see why it won't read SL.
    Considered buying an external DVD write for $39 to see if I can get around this issue. Will post back on results. Otherwise this 2007 Mac Pro has been rock solid since then.

  • Cannot Access Time Capsule Disk from Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I've set up a Time Capsule and I've been able to read and write from:
    1) My MacBook Pro and another MacBook
    2) A Windows XP (SP3) PC connected by Ethernet
    3 )A Dell Laptop running Windows XP (wirelessly)
    I can copy files to and from the disk and perform Time Machine Backups (on the Macs).
    However, I have not been able to even connect to the disk (but I can use the internet normally) on the Time Capsule on my MacBook Pro Boot Camp Windows XP SP3. I can connect wirelessly and surf the net on the 5 Ghz (and 2.4 Ghz) (non-public/Guest Shared) network. (The password I entered to access the disk are the same on all machines listed, which was not confused with the Network Password) Does anyone face such a problem or know the cause/fix?
    Thank You in advance.

    I use FileBrowser app. It works. Their latest version is much easier to configure than earlier versions. You need to turn file sharing on and SMB on your time capsule disk.
    I use the time capsule disk to store a few files which I never want to be on my iPhone or iPad, but do want access to them. They are not backed up on the time capsule but since they also exist on my Mac, they are backed up from there.

  • Bluetooth stops working in OS X after restarting from Boot Camp

    I just recently installed XP SP3 as a part of Boot Camp on my iMac, which has worked great. Unfortunately, when I boot back into OS X, my bluetooth icon shows up as "Bluetooth: Not Available." I am able to get the bluetooth back by turning off my iMac, unplug everything, and then start it back after waiting a short period of time. So that's the good news, that I can get my bluetooth back, but this happens every time I use Boot Camp. Again, Boot Camp works just fine, bluetooth and everything. But I lose bluetooth when I go back to OS X.
    Has anybody else seen this? Any solution(s) to keep me from losing my bluetooth every time coming out of XP in Boot Camp back to OS X? I would appreciate any help...

    On this forum lately: JASimon, Oz, sez: " ... There is a bug with ColorSync profiles and Fast User Switching whereby *you can end up with the Generic RGB profile* instead of the appropriate LCD monitor profile after you switch users. You can read a little about it here along with a number of suggested solutions. This leads to a generally washed out and slightly bluish look to your screen (although I imagine it could be purplish depending on your screen).
    It doesn't sound like you are using Fast User Switching, but it might be worth checking the Displays control panel when this problem occurs and have a look under the Color tab to see which monitor profile is being used...."

  • No audio for Mac Pro (mid-2012) running Win8.1 on Boot Camp

    I've seen discussions around the 'net centered around this difficulty for Macbook users, but users experiencing this with a full-size (desktop) Mac Pro are hard to find. My mid-2012 Mac Pro, (running Yosemite on the Mac side) recently got entangled in the world of Boot Camp when I recently installed Windows 8.1, and I have since been unable to produce audio output from the Line Out. (My headphone output works fine, though it feels like browser audio seems a bit subdued. That's a topic for another discussion, though.) Most of the forum solutions for Macbooks that I've seen involve updating audio drivers, but I can't find any links or recommendations relevant to a mid-2012 Mac Pro. Has anybody else suffered this problem, and managed to conquer? I really don't want to get caught up in ping-pong between Apple's support geeks and Microsoft's nerds.

    Hi, sede my blog, the only solution is on it.
    Write your experience with my driver .

  • Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail

    Hi
    After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
    For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
    I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
    When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
    However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
    I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
    I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
    If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
    Regards
    Eric

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
    Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
    I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
    Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
    Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
    The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
    I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.
    Cheers
