Mac pro doesn't recognize administrator password on login, I am using Yosemite and I was using erlier and didint let me log back in password was correct at all times tries to reset password with apple id and still not working. Try disk utilities with terminal and disk is not available, when I updated from maverick to yosemite I didin't set up a disc recovery.

There is no need to do anything to set up Recovery. It should have been created and updated automatically on your Boot Drive when you upgraded to Yosemite.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card. Does it need specific drivers?

I did a little searching for that card. The more I looked at it the more I felt that, yes, it needs a driver, and no, one doesn't exist for the Mac. So it looks like that is a card only supported for PC's. But to be sure, if I were in your place at this point, I would contact MSI directly.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize BluRay burner with Lion

My Mac Pro would occasionally recognize my Blu-ray DVD burner, now with the Lion update, not at all. My Apple Superdrive is recognized in Bay 1, but not the Blu-Ray in Bay 2. Is there any way I can get my blu-ray burner to show up and be usable? I have used Toast Titanium Pro to burn several BluRay discs before on this computer, but with Snow Leopard; even then, I would have to re-boot the Mac Pro in order to get it to remember it.

Look back a couple months for a long thread on BR burners and support.
Also, check and see what OWC sells and supports, and what 3rd party softare or from the vendor of course.
Seemed like BR drive not being "present" after waking from sleep was one issue, or affecting sleep mode. Just like yours.
I don't see that you include the make etc, you might consider that of interest.

Mavericks doesn't recognize admin password

After downloading Mavericks 10.9.3, I tried to install the software. I was prompted to submit my administrator password -- which I did. However, Mavericks maintains that my password is incorrect. I changed the admin password and then attempted to install Mavericks again, but it still doesn't work. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

OS X Mavericks v10.9.1- Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize any internal drive

My Mac Pro (2008) -- after rebooting -- does not recognize any of the internal drives. I'm running 10.6.8 and all of a sudden after reboot, the machine hangs on grey screen and I get folder w/ question mark symbol. I boot from Snow Leopard install disk but no drive shows up as being able to reinstall on. Even opening up Disk Utility from Snow Leopard disc shows no internal drive.
Any ideas?

Just a few additional random thoughts on this Hardware:
A SATA controller failure should take out all SATA drives. On the 2008 model, the Optical drives are IDE/ATA, but there are two additional SATA ports (data only) on the motherboard.
In the 2008 and previous models, the Mac Pro RAID card uses a cable called iPass to intercept the essential signals to the four Hard Drive bays and route them through the RAID card. If that iPass cable were to come loose, the four main drive bays would stop working.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize Magic Mouse

I have had a wireless mighty mouse without any problems but liked the idea of the magic mouse. The Mighty Mouse works fine and I've switched around the BT wires inside like many have talked about. However, when I try to setup the Magic Mouse, it isn't recognized at all. However, I can set it up without any problems with my Macbook Pro. Any thoughts?

Good question. I have a PPC with a D-LInk bluetooth (DBT-120, Rev. C) and I can't get the Magic Mouse to pair with the Mac. I downloaded the latest version, and all I get is a blinking mouse light. D-Link companyt says their bluetooth was only developed for OS-X 10.4 (Tiger) and only worked with luck with OS-X 10.5 (Leopard). There are some problems with the bluetooth keyboard (won't send wakeup from sleep mode) but it hasn't had problems with the Mightly mouse.

My mac doesn't recognize my password when I log off

When I start my computer it recognize my password fine but when I log off or it goes to sleep it doesn't recognize my password anymore and it starts asking for keychains and stuff so I have to shut it down in order to login again, any help?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

You cannot override but you can chage it, the approach depends on the Mac OS X you are using.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
consider the following ideas.
If neither restarting your Mac
nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
problem, you might find some

Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

(1) Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc. Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
(2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
(3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account. Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize iPhone 4Gs

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs
My Macbook Pro 15 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs (iOS5.1)
Suddenly it stopped, last time was April 11 via Wi-Fi.
Now even with the device plugged it can't be recognized.
On iPhone Settings, the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" tab is grayed.
Few days ago iPhone started to behave strangely, refusing to power off, sometimes not charging when plugged to USB port, sometimes does.
Don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance
best

What kind of phone is this? an iphone 4? or an iphone 4S? ( note there is no such phone as an iPhone 4gS)
What you describe here is in my eyes the beginning signs of accidental damge, such as water damge of some sort.
This is a great oppurtunity to see if the same issues you are having when connecting to your computer, replicate when conencted to another computer.
You need to find out if there is a way to test with a new USB cord if possible to rule that out.
Trying to isolate this to, or away from the iphone.

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.

Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize epson scanner

Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize my epson perfection 1670 scanner. Other applications recognize this scanner. What can I do?
All software and drivers are updated.
Acrobat x pro ver10.1.4
Mac os x 10.8.1, mountian lion

Twain Sane can be downloaded HERE. Others have recommended it as well and it is a viable option if your scanner is no longer supported under Mountain Lion.
It is a bit of work to install and configure, but the developer says a preference pane is available and makes it a bit easier. Check out the site for instructions on how to install and configure it.
