Mac pro doesn't shut down
My mac does not shut down. I always need to hold teh start button in for five seconds to force it to shut down.
If I connect my ipda mini and iphot automatically comes up then iphoto hanges up and can't be shutdown uless I force quit it an dthen it whacks out the finder an dI have to force the machine to shut down.
I did teh oram zap thing and it seem to help temporarily but the problems reoccur. IS there a utlity of software package I can run?
Larry
I agree.
So, just so I have a game plan.
Option 1.
External Drive:
Buy an external drive and do a clean install on that drive and migrate the apps etc on to that drive from the bad drive?
Option 2 Internal Drive:
1. Swap out the time machine drive for the new internal drive
2. Migrate the files apps etc. from bad system drive
3. Replace teh bad drive with the time machine drive and reset time machine
Option 3 two new drives
1. Swap out the time machine drive for the new internal drive
2. Migrate the files apps etc. from bad system drive
3. And repalce the time machine one with an external drive and do fresh time machine start.
Basically option 3 leaves me with a new internal disk and a new external disk as the time machine disk
I would like to keep my system drive internal. Doesn't this make for better speed?
What sounds good to you, or your option?

As soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down
Linc,
You keep showing up when I search for this problem so I hope you can help.
I'm having the same issue in Premiere and Media Encoder (but not After Effects). My Mac just restarts itself as soon as video is loaded. I can start Premiere and open a project and go through relinking media, but as soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down.
I've fixed the problem temporarily two times. The first time I was troubleshooting what was wrong and wound up putting in my old video card and after that fixed the problem, I switched back to my GTX 680. I also did a driver update. After doing that I was ok for a few days so I figured it was a driver thing or maybe the card just needed to be reseated. Then when it started acting up again I figured something was going on.
So I started searching again and came across one of your posts that recommended removing CUDA. I did that and it worked perfectly for a week until about 20 minutes ago. Crashed in the middle of an edit and now each time I restart Premiere it crashes as soon as video touches my monitors.
I found this post because I specifically searched for "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb(8.2.7)" from my Problem Report.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Darren

<Re-Titled By Host>Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the shortened log. Here's the full thing. By the way, where do you learn to read these things? Are there keywords like "error" that you just learn to look for or is it something for in depth?
Thanks,

Itunes make my mac pro impossible to shut down...
Hello,
So, when i launch itunes, my mac pro can't shut down. I choose "shut down", then the gray screnn and the wheel turning, but... nothing else. I have to shut it down with the button...
Mac pro nehalem 2010 with Lion or Mountain, after re-installing lion or mountain Combo, or re-installing iTunes, with or without any peripherics pluged (usb firewire...) with another sessions... Hardware test is all correct.

As the subject line says, my "early 2008" Mac Pro will not shut down. I have let it set overnight and it will not shut down or restart. I also installed an update which required a restart, selected to restart and the computer would not. Also, whenever I boot up, the computer hangs and will not load the finder. I have to do a "hard" restart and after a couple tries it eventually works...should I just call Apple?
Forced shutdowns tend to cause more directory errors.
How many drives?
Any green version?
Did you disable "allow disks to spindown"?
Possible it is an external USB printer or device, or cable?
I'd boot from another hard drive and do system repair and maintenance.
Create another boot volume if need be.
Startup with using Disk utility but also Disk Warrior.
And when it is working, make backups with CCC or SuperDuper.
Lacking that, boot from OS X DVD and go to Utility menu and access Disk Utility. -
Mac Pro 2008 keeps shutting down and restarting
Just the other day after being shut down for a week my Mac Pro 2008 started shutting down and restarting on its own. Any idea where to begin troubleshooting?

Mac Pro (Early 2008) shuts down unexpectedly
I have a recurring problem with my Mac Pro (Early 2008). I put the computer to sleep; then, when I tap a few keys on the keyboard to wake it up, I hear the start-up sound and it boots up as if it were shut down.
This is particularly strange, because I do not have to use the "power" button on the tower to turn it on. When I tap the keys on the keyboard, as if to wake it from sleep, it makes the start-up sound and boots. I am guessing that somehow it is shutting off when I first try to wake it from sleep, and then must re-boot. But this is odd behavior that I've never seen from any Mac, and I've been using them for almost 20 years.
Any ideas? I'm going to call Apple Support but I always dread those long wait times and often fruitless conversations. I did not migrate information from my previous system; I took the time to manually migrate my files and reinstalled all apps from DVD specifically to avoid problems like this. Very frustrating.I've noticed the same problem for one day with my new MP 2.8 dualquad, got a reboot after every sleep.
This solved the issue for me:
• Reset the PRAM (Boot the machine and hold ALTCOMMAND+PR for 3 startup gongs)
• Reset the SMC -> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123-en

Windows on Mac Pro will not shut down
Hi I recently had the MAC Pro the one with 4G RAM, I installed Windows XP on it as well, seems everything is running Ok except that every time when I shut down Windows, it just hang there and I have to press the power button to force it to shut down. Does anyone have any idea why this happen? Anything I need to check? Do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!
Hi, sorry I should have been more specific. The version of the Windows installed is fairly new. If the windows just boot up and then I shut it down, it will shut down right away. But if I run some program like MSN or browse internet for a while then when I try to shut it down, after I click Start->Turn Off computer then I click any of the 3 options (Stand By, Turn off,Restart) it just do not respond, but at the sametime the windows is not frozen, I can still run other program which seems really odd. So I have to manually press the power button to shut it down. I might need to reinstall Windows.

Occassions where Mac Pro refuses to Shut Down/Restart
I have a Quad 2.8 Mac Pro (Early 2008) and have been frequently running into a problem where both Leopard (and now Snow Leopard) refuse to close my programs and shut my computer down when I ask it to.
This started roughly 4 months ago and started as just a minor nuisance. Since I use Boot Camp and run two operating systems I tend to restart often. I also always shut my machine down when I go to bed.
When I click shut down or restart the window for the logout countdown shows up. I go ahead and click to have it do it instantly and the machine will just sit there. Usually it will come up with an error saying a application refused to be shut down. What's odd is it is usually a program I don't even have open anymore. I can force quit every application I have open and it will still sit there.
Anyone seen this before? I don't even know where to begin.Check on Activity Monitor if there is a process that is hanged or something... there is got to be a process that is not responding to the kill signal and you might have to force it to die for the shutdown to end...
once you find what process is hanging you can start working out why is it not closing and fix that problem...

I'm helping a friend with her new Mac Pro quad (latest model, 6g RAM, 1TB OEM drive, 2 extra 1TB Seagate Enterprise drives installed for storage, 24" ACD) and she can't shut it down now. Worked fine for the last week since she bought it all but now it won't. I've had her do all of the usual things like Permissions Repair and such, but still the problem exists. All software updates have been performed, everything works fine except for the shut down routine. There's not much software on the box, Photoshop CS4 and Bridge, and that's about it, other than the OEM Apple stuff. The Adobe apps have current updates, too.
Any ideas?try restarting with the command-option-p-r keys held down. Failing that, shut it down hard, then unplug everything...power..usb firewire...everything. Let it sit for 5min (that's prob longer than needed) and then restart. Failing that, call Apple tech support.

Macbook Pro doesn't shut down after update
After downloading the update for Safari 5.1.2, I restarted my computer to finish the installation but it stayed stuck on a grey screen with the software update bar on top. Now I can't shut down my computer. Everytime I shut it down I'm brought back to the same grey screen and nothing other than the power button will shut my macbook down.
I'm running Lion on a Macbook pro 2.4 GHzHow long are you waiting? I've waited as long as 3-minutes in Leopard already. I was about ready to force shutdown, but then all of a sudden, it shut down.
If yo don't reboot that often, you may have a bunch of virtual memory swap files it's unloading. Try shutting down right after a reboot and see what happens.

Mac pro restart after shut down
hey i have mac pro 4.1. i have 10.9.1. and always that i press the "shut down" the mac just doing restart. i tried log out and press shut down but still restart. need fix..
thanksI kept having this problem until I noticed my Apple trackpad was running low on battery power. Since replacing the batteries I have not a single random restart. (Of course, when I shut down later it could reappear just to make a liar of me!)
So...could it be a Bluetooth issue - polling with low battery power or some such? -
Mac Pro won't shut down reliably
I have an early 2009 Mac Pro and after upgrade to Lion I have problems with shutting it down. I have checked other discussions, my symptoms are little bit different than most I saw (it does not stay in the grey screen with spinning wheel):
- sometimes it will shut down normally (although it may take long time)
- in most cases it will start shutting down normally, goes to the gray screen, then to the black screen, I hear disks are powered down, only think I hear is the power fan which is still running - and it stays like that for hour or more without any change - untill I hold down the power button for a couple of seconds
The behaviour is the same when restarting.
I have already switched off the "recent items" in System preferences/General and when swithing off/restarting I do uncheck the "reopen windows..."
I have Windows 7 in Bootcamp on separate hard-disk and I do not have any similar issues when shutting down or restarting from Windows
Everything is up to date and the only HW which is added to the Mac is internal USB hub card (was added befor Lion upgrade and there were no issues with it). This is the only problem I am having - everything else works, the system is stable etc.
I have already tried to repair disk permissions, but there was no problem there either.
Many thanks for any help. TomasMany thanks, that worked - I unplugged everything from the USB hub and it switched off normally. Then I tried to put stuff back and it looks it was the mouse which was causing the problems - although I find it hard to understand why Thanks again for your help, Tom
