Mac pro display freezes need help.
My mac display freezes after a few seconds of turning on. Ive had to unplug or turn off to turn it on again. Now, it just wont do anything after I enter password. It just freezes. The screen is also very hot.

Did you follow this procedure exactly...
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
...this will reset the SMC (System Management Controller).

So im about to buy a mac pro, I just need help cause im not sure if it's worth paying more for instance, a hi-res screen compared to the stock screen, and will i really miss the .2 ghz and the upgraded video card if I get the 2.0 ghz mbp?

It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

Here's my 17"
In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future. -
Headless Mac Pro getting stuck - need help with Crash Report
I have a headless Mac Pro being used as a server. It has recently begun to have problems such as slowing down for a few minutes with apps being slow or non-reponsive. It may serve pages, but the database or FTP may not respond. When logging with VNC (screen sharing) we may get a blank screeen or a screeen with lots of black squares and artifacts. If often clears up, but if fully black will usually require that I log on via SSH and reboot. It may be fine for a day and other days may slow down a few times.
The only apps are Abyss Web Server, Panorama database, CrushFTP (uses JAVA), and Backuplist+. Temperatures seem to be okay with the highest being the Nortbridge Heat Sink (167 degrees) and a memory module (163 degrees). The primary disks are a few months old and have over 200 GB of free space. I have done maintenance with Applejack, Onyx, and Disk Warrior.
It finally crashed altogether and I am not experienced at interpreting the reports so here is the crash report in the hopes that someone can help determine the problem:

... Correlates with NVIDIA graphics card failure OR the use of two NVIDIA cards simultaneously in the same Mac Pro in 10.8 and later.
The Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250, works in every model Mac Pro, and drivers are in 10.6.5 and later.
If you decide to do a Conversion of your Server from 10.5 to 10.6, it is not too bad. Just plan on a brief downtime -- I tried to keep it all running 24/7 by creating a new Servername for the new one, and that serious mistake still haunts me.
You should plan on such a conversion to get closer to current security updates -- 10.5 is not getting those updates, and you should really disconnect your 10.5 Server from the Internet. -
Macbook pro keeps freezing need help!
i have a macbook pro 15 inch and i can't keep it on for more than 15 minutes before the screen dims down the whole screen or it freezes and tells me to hold down the power button to reboot the computer. Sometimes i reboot right away and before the OS loads it does it again? what is causing this and how do i fix it? I got my macbook less than a month ago....
Ok i tired all that and still did not help
i ran the fsck -fy thing and it seems like it kept getting a kernel panic during that which seems weird. The scrolling text didn't really give me any real information from what i could see but i know it didn't help either.
I have let the computer sit all night and i have now spent about 5 mins without a KP so im thinkin my RAM may be heating up and jarring loose or something if that is even possible
Thanks for the info so far guys!
EDIT: ok i have ran the fsck -fy thing in the scrolling text again after start up with APPLE/S command. It went thru its checks and said "Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
So i infact was getting a panic last night during that scrolling text boot up. Again i think it may be a heat problem. During that panic tho all this weird code came up but it said (panic) and hard jumbled words but i sort of remember a line saying something about opitmized pointer or such.
Thanks again guys for the helpt tips! -

I currently use the 24" LED as a display for my Mac Pro, but give the increased pixels on the 27" iMac and it's MiniDisplay Port in capability, and given it's cheaper than the 30" cinema display, with a much better panel, on only slightly lower vertical display resolution, I've been giving serious thought to switching to the baseline 27" iMac as a display.
A couple things are holding me back. I'm guessing with MiniDP in, you only get the video, no audio like on the 24" LED (which uses USB). Since there's no USB, I'm also guessing there's no iSight pass-through. I could always add speakers and and a mic/cam combo, but that seems less elegant.
Has anyone tried the 27" iMac as a Mac Pro display? If so, please let me know how well it fits.Peter Miller wrote:

Hello Pete.
Search your SnowLeopard Mac Finder > Help for "target display mode" (without the quotation marks) to find the instructions for this new feature.
Among those instructions are:
The external display computer works like any other external display. To change display settings, open System Preferences on the primary computer and click Display.

Mac Pro Display Issue - Unexpectedly Sleeps and Freezes
Just since a couple of days my Mac Pro desktop has been having display issues. Unexpectedly the screens go into sleep mode, it turns black and freezes, the computer doesnot respond to the keyboard or mouse.
At first I thought this was related to Chrome, and switched to Firefox, but the computer is still having the same issue. I have to shut down and restart each time it gets stuck.
I even went into preferences and changed the energy saver settings to "Never" allow display or harddrive to sleep. But this problem is stil happening.
Does anyone have the same problems? Or a solution?I cleaned out my mac with compressed air, it was dusty, but the display flickering happened again.
So I followed your advice and installed:
Temperature Monitor
http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
Which showed that my memory module 1B and 2B were 70 - 75'C(160 -167'F). There was no reading for the graphic card so I couldn't tell if that was over heating.
Then I installed:
smc fan controller
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol
and increased the memory_cpu fan speed which lowered the temperature of the ram to 60'C (143'F).
I even changed this ram's placement and put it in different slots.This ram was the same temperature in the new placements.
Also this is the kingston 2gb ram without heatsinks. Ive used it for 1.5 yrs, and this is the first time its giving me these problems.
Do you know how I can check if the graphic card is over heating? or is the problem just with the ram?
Thank you for all your help! -
Why no controls on My Mac Pro display for the 9/12 event?
Why no controls on My Mac Pro display for the 9/12 event? I thought it odd that I had no conrols for the event (later in the day) - Just something Apple was trying different. - It was frustrating that I could not pause it , and later, jump to the point where it crashed. (anybody else have that problem?) But later I had my wife look at it on her 24" iMac, and the controls were present and it worked fine. I thought it might be because I had turn off Java; I turned it on and tried it, still no fade in on mouse move controls. Anybody have an idea why? (Apple STILL needs to update the product list on this submit page This is ML 10.8)
After 3 more days, and a reboot, still no controls on THIS video. Everything else seems fine. Even the Apple movie trailers with the same type of "floating" controls work properly. Does anybody have a clue?

Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed
Hi everyone,
I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
Throw in 8GB RAM.
Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro. -
Mac Pro display remains black after start up.
My 2008 Mac Pro display remains black after start up. It is plugged in properly and the light comes on, but the screen stays black. It first started doing this about a week ago, but after a manual restart or two, it would start up properly with the display working. Today the display has remained black every time I've tried to start up. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Safe Mode uses a very simple way of talking to the screen -- it does not even load the screen driver, and it uses a very common low resolution.
If it does not work that way, it simply does not work. You need a replacement graphics card.

My daughter wants a new Mac Pro; however, she will be living in London, England (we live in New Mexico). My question is...Must she buy a "special" Mac Pro for her needs in London, or can she use an adaptor for power?
Your welcome. Most electronics have universal power supplies that can deal with overseas power standards - before she starts getting lots of adaptors with transformers, check the manual or specifications online for her equipment. Often a simple adaptor that just adapts the physical US style plug to the UK style, or even better and cleaner, a new power cord, is all that is required. Found this out when I went overseas myself last year. And it can be overwhelming at first!
