Mac Pro Display Issue HELP!

Hello Everyone,
Lately i just bought a new mac pro. recently i have been doing some video projects in final cut pro 7 (i know its outdated lol) in the video preview it seems that the video has some distortion to it, meaning the the video has a skewed effect to it of some sort. I upgraded from a 2009 iMac which i have never noticed this issue before! I don't think that it would be a hardware issue.. heres my specs:
3.33GHz 6-core
12 gigs of ram
ATI radeon 5770 1gb ram
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster SA300
I think that it may be the monitor.. as i soon plan on upgrading to a cinema display.
If anyone has and idea what may be causing this unusual issue that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

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!

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?

Mac Pro Display Issues

I am trying to use three monitors with a Mac Pro with a default Radeon 5770 graphics card, but I am coming across many issues. First, I had to find out that you needed two dual-link DVI adapters if you want to add three monitors. After purchasing one adapter from StarTech for a 30" Dell monitor however, the display is having many issues.
When I first turn the computer on, the display shows "snow". I have to turn the display on and off, but sometimes even this does not get rid of it. Also, the screen will not wake up when the computer wakes up from sleep, although the other DVI monitor attached works perfectly. Finally, the screen will often go into periods of complete black. I can still move the mouse on the other screen, but it jumps around and skips when I move it.
If I want to resolve this issue, should I:
1) Go with Apple's dual-link adapter instead of the StarTech one I am currently using
2) Upgrade the Mac Pro graphics to either the dual 5770 or the single 5870
3) Replace the large dell monitor with an Apple Cinema Display
Or, would none of these solutions even help if this is an unsolvable problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That is not quite right. Strictly speaking, it is not three dual-Link adapters that are required, but all adapters must be ACTIVE, POWERED Adapters.
Apple's solution requires their Daul-Link adapters because those are the ones with a USB lead to pick up even more power.
Your initail query tlaks of wanting to connect three monitors, but you have only provided connection details for two.

New Mac Pro display issues with Thunderbolt display

When connected to a 27inch Thunderbolt display after a while I get vertical blue lines on the display. If I plug my Macbook Air into the screen, after a while the blue lines clear. How do I find out if it's the Mac Pro or the Display?

Thanks Turbostar, that's exactly right, it takes about 30 minutes having the Air plugged in and the stripes disappear.

27" iMac as Mac Pro Display?

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.

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.
I looked for the web-based page, but I could not find it, so, at least for now, you will need to view it in your Mac's Help viewer.

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?

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

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.

Display Issues with Mac Pro 1.1 HELP!!

I have a Mac Pro 1,1:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005D.B00
SMC Version: 1.7f10
Running OSX 10.6.3
I'm on my second graphics card [ATI Radeon HD 2600] after having issues with the original [NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT]. The issue with the NVIDIA card was that, at times, it would display digital artifacts, glitches, distortion and freeze up the system forcing me to have to do a hard shut down. I found many reports of similar issues with that card and the Mac Pro 1,1's.
When I replaced it with the ATI the problem went away for 6 months and now IT"S BACK.
So, are there any particular graphics cards that work OK with the Mac Pro 1,1? I don't want to waste my money again only to encounter the same issue!
I'm also contemplating getting a new Mac all together.
Please advise, I've read many threads with this issue and they all seem to point to the same deal: replace the card. I can't afford to keep replacing graphics cards.
Saki

The 2600XT required 10.5.2+ and while it may 'look' like a G5 the Mac Pro is not. G5 refers to IBM PowerPC based, not Intel Xeon EFI based.
You're running 10.6.3, might want to update your profile itself.

Mac Pro 1,1 Help Needed

I’ve been having a few problems with my Mac Pro 1,1 for a while now. The graphics card appeared to be the cause of the last issue (lines of garbled pixels appearing across the screen), the screen going to black once or twice and not letting me do anything other than a hard reset.
Side note: not long after I bought the machine in 2006 I remember it wouldn’t run The Sims 3 without it having major crashing issues (black screen but sound still playing underneath).
I changed my graphics card about a month ago to the ATI Radeon 5770. Installation was fine and everything seemed to work ok (although, the second DVI connection doesn’t work with either the Apple Cinema HD display, or my HD monitor, so I have one plugged in to DVI 1 and the other in to the mini display port). The other problem with this is that (and this is the only game I have to test it on) is that GTA San Andreas still freezes forcing me in to a hard reset situation. But other video intensive apps (Final Cut Pro for example) works fine.
I used the snow leopard disk to do a disk repair but that found no issues. I repaired the disk permissions as well. This appeared to fix nothing.
I few other issues I’ve had recently:
The Finder crashes.
The computer hangs on a restart / shut down.
USB ports don’t always work on system start. I have to unplug the mouse and/or the keyboard and plug them back in again to get them to work. Some of these are on the back of the tower and others are in the back of the monitor.
Disk drive can’t read burned discs.
When ejecting optical disks the icon will either go semi-transparent and then stay that way (this is usually the case, especially after the disc has been in use).
Other times when I try and eject the disc the disc unmounts, but the tray doesn’t open. Then the disc and the drive itself goes missing from disk utility and can’t be remounted without a hard reset.
The last issue that moved me in to doing a fresh install was Final Cut not working at all. I’ve since reinstalled but the same problems persist - the optical drive not ejecting (but disappearing from the system leaving me unable to do anything other than a hard reset to get it back). This causes obvious problems when I’m installing multi-disk systems.
After I restarted, before I did anything else with it, I asked it to run system update which it did and found updates. I downloaded and installed these and then it restarted. It shut down fine, and appeared to start up fine. But then the Finder crashed and while the mouse cursor moved around, the keyboard wouldn’t input any commands and I couldn’t actually click on anything - another hard reset.
I’m starting to get to the end of my tether with my “superior” mac experience. I know it’s easy to suggest it must be the graphics card causing this, but some of these issues have happened in the past, just not as frequent as now, so I’m hoping there are some ideas that go above the “change graphics card” idea. Of course, I am open to this being the cause.
I’ve ran Onyx & Rember and both have been successful.
Any ideas you wonderful lot?
While I imagine the obvious answer is "take it to a repair centre" this isn't an easy option where I live as all official Apple stores (i.e. not premium resellers) are quite a distance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mac Pro display 1080P on HDTV

Hey there, I just got a new Bravia 46" HDTV that can display 1080P, I connect it to my Mac Pro via DVI to HDMI, and The highest resolution is 1080i (interlaced), and the picture is really clean while static. But it looks cruddy when windows, objects, or video moves around. I then plugged in the HDTV via VGA at 1080 (Doesn't specify if it's interlaced or not), and the picture was incredibly smoother. My question is can you get native 1080P From DVI to HDMI on a mac pro?
Thanks

doesnt seem like it. are you using the Ati X1900xt video card? even the nVidia 7300 card doesnt seem to support that natively..especially on high-def monitors, excluding the Apple Cinema Displays (23" and 30"), i got odd scan lines using HDMI>DVI cabling but with VGA its sharp, clear and (better) and im not using a hdtv, its 1080p 28" monitor. but im to assume its similar to a hdtv.
HOWEVER though, when i hooked up the screen to my macbook pro using the hdmi-dvi cable and plugged it into the dvi port, no scan lines at all (theyre not very visible except on dark grey backgrounds - think in preview when you maximize the window and that dark grey background)
perhaps its a ati card issue (though in Windows i dont experience any of that, so i have no idea honestly)
iam going to assum at this point its a OSX thing, and its a profiling issue within OSX?
but depending on the system configuration it seems that mainly the labtops and mini's have had better luck with High-def 1080p monitors.
id like to know more if you find out more helpful information too.
goodluck =D

2007 Mac Pro Graphics issues

Hey, I've got a 2007 Mac Pro, with the ATi X1900 XT, and since upgrading to Leopard, have had some odd graphics corruption and system hang ups.
While using any particular application, random horizontal lines will spontaneously appear across the particular application like so.
Safari:
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8757/picture1pr4.png
Evernote:
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3186/picture2ca9.png
I'm certain this is not a display related issue, since I can move the application, and the artifacts move with it. Hiding, closing, or scrolling up and down repeatedly are somewhat effective at removing the artifacts, but only temporarily.
In addition to that, square 'swatches' or blue, yellow, or pink spontaneously appear in isolated instances, although those disappear whenever I shift focus to another application, or activate Expose.
In addition, the computer will randomly freeze up when coming out of screen saver, or while using Expose or Spaces, although I am still able to move the mouse. I can still SSH into the computer as if it was fully functional, however, any attempts to 'unfreeze' the desktop are in vain.
This sounds vaguely similar to some issues with the Early 2008 Mac Pro with the nVidia card, however, I am unsure if there is any correlation between the two.
I'm running Leopard, with all available updates, and have applied to firmware update for the X1900 XT ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/atiradeonx1900xtfirmwareupdate.html ), although nothing has helped.
Anybody here ever experience anything similar to this, and / or have any advice on what to do?
Thanks in advance,
Noah

<Edited by Moderator>
I got a replacement for my 1900XT that is the newer version but even with keeping it dust free and using smcFanControl it still has issues after extended periods of use. I'm hoping the 8800GT that just came out for 1st gen MPs doesn't start giving people problems, because if not I plan to get one this summer.

Mac Pro screen issue

Hi all,
my mac pro shows the apple logo at start up and the users available.
Then, either the screen goes crazy with lots of moving thin grey lines or I get to
login in under my account and then the finder has lots of artifacting on the screen
- black blocks in the finder window or parts of top bar displays overlapping text. I've
had some odd black triangle across some of the finder windows too.
If I log in to the guest user (safari only mode) the screen is fine.
Is this a graphics card issue or something else?
p.s. I have tried installing 10.8 but alas, my mac is just one model out from being suported.
Cheers,
Steve

When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
