Mac Pro boot option screen freezes after I select the Windows partition

Hello,
I have a mid-2010 Mac Pro, and I am currently experiencing an issue regarding booting into Windows 7. Windows 7 64-bit is installed on its own HDD in bay 2 of my Mac Pro. When I restart my Mac Pro (from OS X), hold the option key, and select the windows HDD, the computer completely freezes and locks up. I can't move the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard, and the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD. This issue does not happen, however, after a cold shutdown and startup. If I completely shut down my Mac Pro, start it up, hold the option key, and select the Windows HDD, it boots into Windows perfectly fine. It is only after a reboot from OS X that the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD.
I have tried everything I can think of, including resetting the PRAM, SMC, repairing disk permissions, etc. I did also call AppleCare a while back, and the technician on the phone was unable to find a solution. I have also tried selecting the Windows partition in the Startup Disk pane of system preferences, and that did not work either. I have also tried utilities such as BootChamp to automate the restart. Same issue. Could this be a hardware issue?
Thank you,
Robert

pull OS X and try
Too early to even try F8 - Windows safe boot
Try booting Windows DVD would be first on my list
Every month on 2nd Tuesday all the security updates for Windows patches come out
Clone your Windows hard drive - $20 Paragon Clone OS are just like CCC: bootable, swapable backup copies
Don't try using and it has nothing to do with OS X
It may be something you or Windows installed though or even an update pending on restart.

I install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

I install mountain lion on my macbook pro late 2009 and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

Restart your mac in Safe Mode by holding down the 'shift' key while it powers up. You'll know if you've entered Safe Mode correctly if you see a progress bar underneath the grey Apple logo screen. Let go of the shift key when you see that, wait for the progess bar to complete then log in.
After log in, go to
 > System Preferences... Users & Groups and remove everything from the 'Login Items' tab.
If you have any anti-virus software installed (Sophos, F-Secure, VirusBarrier, Mackeeper) uninstall it while in Safe Mode.
Restart your mac normally and test.
Any improvement?

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation. I will post my computer's 'specs' below. I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store. The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed. I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2.
The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app. I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there. That fixed the problem. For about three or four days. From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument). My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out. That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online.
So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said. They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board. This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone.
So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion. Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install. This helped for a day or two, and happened again. So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install. I got my computer back last night. Now, I am not saying that didn't help. Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours. Which, let's be honest is still a lot.
So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas? Or guarenteed fixes? I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people. Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
[Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome. Especially DIY fixes. (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly. Worked perfectly before. Anyone else finding these issues? I'm running a quad core Mac Pro, so it's definitely not the hardware.

I've maxed out the memory assignment, but this isn't a memory problem per se.
It looks like certain Premiere Pro conditions are associated with a huge increase in kernel_task memory, zeroing out any available free memory. In my case it seems to be associated with effects applied to titles or jpgs or imported psd (Photoshop) files.
Program restart pulls kernel memory back to the 1.3gb normal size.
Here's where I am at startup:

My Mac freezes after waking up

I have a rMBP mid 2014 that keeps freezing after sleep, but not every time, since I upgraded to latest Yosemite 10.10.3. I can move the mouse and close all active programs, but it takes long time and will anyway not restart after that. I have to force power off and then power on again, then it will work for a while.
I have tried to do the upgrade again och even tried to reinstall Yosemite again, but it didn't help. Here's a report:

I'd be grateful for any help.

Rid the MBP of CleanMyMac. It may very well be the source of your problems.
NO so called cleaning or performance applications should be installed in a Mac. At best they will do nothing, at worst they can corrupt your system.
Ciao.

After upgrading to Tiger, freeze after waking from sleep on PM G4

My experience with Tiger in the past week as not been great. The reason I upgraded was to get iSync 2.1, so that my Moto E815 phone could be sync'd with my OSX AddresBook and iCal. This wasn't possible with the latest version of Panther.
So, I upgraded to Tiger 10.4.3, and now my G4 freezes immediately after waking from sleep. After pressing the 'return' key to wake the computer, the G4 sends a signal to wake the monitor, but on top of the screen saver is a black text box which states there was a problem I must press (and hold) the power button to restart the Mac. It's written in four languages.
When I installed Tiger, I used the 'archive' option.
My computer is a bit of a FrankenMac: Originally a G4/350 with AGP, upgraded with a Sonnet 1GHz G4 processor card, 1.12GB RAM, a 160GB HDD, an nVidia GeForce3 64MB AGP video card, Samsung DVD/CR-RW drive (Patchburn3) and a Belkin PCI card with 2 additional Firewire ports and 3 additional USB 2.0 ports. When I performed the upgrade, I had the keyboard and mouse plugged into the case USB 1.1 ports, a Logitech Notebook Pro USB camera plugged into the other case USB 1.1 port, and a D-Link BT120 USB->BT adapter plugged into one of the three USB 2.0 ports on the Belkin PCI card.
When I check the Console logs after the rebooting, I see a kernal panic in the panic.log. Apple has received this a number of times from me in the past week as I keep sending them 'talkback' logs after the fact.
I also see an error in the system.log which may reveal what is going on:

I suspect the problem where the USB devices are started, because I had that Bluetooth adapter plugged in at the time of the upgrade. I'm speaking of the lines in the log which start with 'USBF'. The keyboard and mouse are useless when the black screen shows up after waking from sleep.
I've tried some of the suggestions I've found for the iBook 'wake from sleep' postings on macfixit.com and here - resetting NVRAM and removing a few of the .plist files. This didn't seem to help.
I would greatly appreciate help in resolving this issue. I've been a Mac owner since the original Macintosh (it's still in my house) and am frustrated that this is the first problem I've encountered.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks. In fact I had bought a new keyboard and mouse (Macally) and sure enough, if I unplug it before it reboots, the CD drive door stays closed and I can boot from a CD! I did not try any of the other stuff. Is there any way to get it to stop this? Why does a USB peripheral cause the CD to eject anyway? Would love to know!

Freeze after waking from sleep

hi, it's been happening only in the past 3 days.
my mac pro is less than a month old.
3 gig ram, dual 2.66mhz processor, 120G hd with more of a third free disk space.
this's what happens: if the computer is in sleep mode, and if after few hours i wake it back up, it freezes.
for the first 10 seconds, the computer apparently works fine, but after that the curson stops responding, as well as all apps.
i can't quit applications, or esc...
all i can do is to powerboot it again.
i've run disk utility and verified disk and repaired permissions.
as it is now all is in check.
can you please let me know what i can do?
on my other systems i used to run Cocktail, but i haven't installed it or run on this intel machine yet, not to screw things up.
can anyone tell me what i should do for this freeze issue, and what's the best system management utility for intel machines?
thanks in advance
milly

Cocktail is not a system management utility, but rather a troubleshooting only utility. Freezes can happen waking from sleep often if there is a third party USB device connected or a PCI adapter to USB that is not familiar with Apple's Energy Saver low power mode. Before proceeding with this experiment, it is important to backup your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Dismount (if a volume), and disconnect all third party USB devices and see if it freezes. If it does, make sure the hard disk is less than 85% full (an arbitrary number most have found to be safe for Mac OS X) using my http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html FAQ as a guide. And if it still freezes waking from sleep, repair the directory:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
Cocktail, and other cache cleaning utilities should be avoided unless an obvious cache problem exists. You can use Cocktail also to delete files no other programs will delete, but only after backing up your data, to ensure you don't delete the wrong file.

Mac Pro 2009 Raid Set Lost after Hard Reboot

We have a newer Nehalem based Mac Pro with a 2009 Black Apple Hardware Raid card. The Hard Drive Configuration is: 4 x 2TB Western Digital drives setup as a Raid 1+0 array providing 4TB of space with what we believed to be optimal performance and redundancy. We had two volumes / partitions configured on the array, one 120GB for the OS and the remaining 3.8TB for data.
Everything was working fine when the server froze up. ON the Screen an error message said there is a problem with your Raid controller, Please open Apple Raid Utility.. Unfortunatly when we tried to do that we just got a spining beachball. We tried to open finder and it beachballed. We tried to force quit and nothing working. Finally we were left with no choice but to do a hard restart of the server and turn the machine off and then back on.
When the server came back on it would not boot up. We were greeting with the Folder with a Queston Mark. We booted from the Mac 10.6 Snow leopard Server Disk and opened up Apples Raid utility software. Much to our shock the Raid Set and the two Volumes were not shown in the Utility. However all 4 of the drives were listed and all being shown as Green light good status, but listed as "Roaming". We weren't sure what to do, the volumes weren't accesible since they didn't exist, the Raid set wasn't there, there was no way to run something like Data Rescue Recovery software. We tried calling Apple and have to wait until they open this morning. After looking online at various forums we came accross this problem with no solutions. Most of the people with the problems had the older 2006 Blue Raid card, and this appeared to be a common issue amoung others with the older card. I decided to try and re-create the Raid 1+0 set. However as soon as I did that I was prompted by Raid Utility that the drives I was selecting to use for the Raid set were already a part of another raid set and using them would delete the data on the set. I obviously canceled the process. Crazy enough the system knows the drives belong to a Raid set but doesn't realize it should know what the raid set information is.
We were using Mac OS 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Server, and I even tried installing and updating an external drive with 10.6.7 Server and booted from the drive from the machine and try to run Raid Utility. That did not work either. Any advice from anyone would be awesome. I'm worried what Apple is going to say when I do get a hold of them, the system is under Apple Care warranty. Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

I haven't lost data, but in my 2010 Mac Pro with 2009-vintage Apple RAID card, it has this Really Annoying Habit of constantly losing Disk 3 (the spare) in my 4x2 TB internal RAID5 array whenever I have to do a hard reboot.
I keep having to re-mark the now-"Roaming" drive as a Spare and then wait 8+ hours for it to rebuild the array ... grrr.
I saw an Apple KB article that suggests removing the Roaming disk and re-inserting it. Duh. Fat lot of good that did. Really wish there was some answer to this issue ... hard reboots should NOT cause array disks to go from "Assigned"/good to "Roaming"!

Wifi/System Preferences Freezes After Waking From Sleep Mode.

Every since I installed Mountain Lion, I've had the issue of my MacBook Pro freezing up while it checks for Wifi after waking up from sleep mode. I have to constantly restart my computer. I'm wondering if Apple is aware of this happening on other computers and not just mine.
Also, my laptop is considerably slower since installing the OS update, especially when I turn on my computer.
- Rog

!!!!!!!!!!!So far only this has worked for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> and UNcheck the box that says "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible on BOTH the Battery and Power Adaptor tabs.
I had this issue when I first installed Mountion Lion on my Aluminum MB 2008. Thought it was 10.8 so I down graded to 10.7 Lion, issue still happened. But after I applied this setting the issue seemed to go away. Before this I also deleted the old wifi settings in Network Utilities and added the Wifi device, ssid, and wep key again (not using WPA2). I will continue testing through the night and will update once I can determine the issue is gone.
Hopefully this works for others too.

Mac Pro wakes in the night after 10.5.7 update

Mac Pro has taken to waking from sleep spontaneously, and staying awake. This is generally some time after sleeping - an hour perhaps. 99% sure this started after the 10.5.7 update. I think (but I'm not yet sure) that if I put it to sleep a second time without doing anything it will then stay asleep.
"Wake for Ethernet administrator access" and "Restart automatically after power failure" are both unchecked. Nothing else on the network at this time except the ADSL router. Computer should sleep after 20 minutes, but it doesn't. Eveything else seems fine after the update.
Thoughts anyone?

Thanks both. I do have wireless KB and mouse, and I've wondered if Bluetooth might be causing the problem. Normally I use the space bar to wake it up. Everything has been fine for 6 weeks from new, until the 10.5.7 update.
After posting the above message at 10:15 I put the Mac to sleep, but found it awake a few minutes later. I've found this in the System log:
Jun 21 10:17:52 ... kernel[0]: System Sleep
Jun 21 10:26:03 ... kernel[0]: Wake reason = UHC6
Jun 21 10:26:03 ... kernel[0]: System Wake
Jun 21 10:26:03 ... kernel[0]: Previous Sleep Cause: 5
Jun 21 10:26:03 ... kernel[0]: USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x5a has remote wakeup from some device
I then put it to sleep again at 10:34 and it stayed asleep until I woke it with the keyboard:
Jun 21 10:34:59 ... kernel[0]: System Sleep
Jun 21 15:51:49 ... kernel[0]: Wake reason = UHC6
Jun 21 15:51:49 ... kernel[0]: System Wake
Jun 21 15:51:40 ... /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[22160]: Starting standard backup
I don't know what UHC6 is, but it's the wake reason both times, so maybe this is keyboard related. It would be a pain to have to turn the KB off every time though.

Mac Pro will not even reboot after 10.5.7 update

I haven't seen anyone else post about this but I started up my Mac Pro after work yesterday and within seconds the graphics went all glitchy and the machine froze up. After shelling out $50 to hear Apple say, "I don't know whats wrong" after trying to boot to CD, Resetting PRAM, then removing the HD and Superdrive respectively. My machine literally freezes up at the spinning gear every time. Anyone else seeing this?

Sorry, I was actually chatting from the Apple as it was being worked on, and after my last entry it turned into this....They are replacing my Video Card and HD for free (of course, no Applecare working there). I got no further answers from them, expected from Apple, but they are taking care of me. Not sure as if this was in recognition of me spending $50 for 2 Apple reps letting me know that they had no idea what my problem was and to take my machine in for repair. It's not Apple's MO for admitting what the causes might be, but they are resolving it. It did look to me that 10.5.7 Nvidia love was the actually cause of my video card just self destructing though. Sorry that I don't have anymore, Apple worked themselves into rectifying this in a hurry.

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again

Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap, Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap

I just picked up a used Mac Pro 1,1 (2006). It has 2x2.0 GHz dual-core processors and 5GB of RAM with the 7300GT card.
In this configuration, the machine was running perfectly. I, of course, wanted to upgrade....
I ordered a pair of 5160 3.0GHz processors cheaply and followed a video tutorial to install them. I used Arctic Cleaner and Arctic Silver 5 for the thermal paste.
Bottom line is: I installed the two new processors and when I fired it up, I could hear the fans, optical drive and hard drives all spinning (normal fan speed - NOT "jet mode", and the HD sounds like it's spinning - NOT like it's booting). NO boot chime and NO display. I popped the cover off and saw the CPU B FAIL light on. I swapped CPUs to test the processor, expecting to see the CPU A FAIL light come on. It did not. It just powered the fans/drives with no result (again, with no boot chime and no display).
To make a long and frustrating story short, I wound up putting one of the original 2.0GHz processors in slot A, leaving B empty (maybe I damaged the socket?) and IT STILL WILL NOT BOOT. I have tried all of my processors - the original 2.0GHz and the new 3.0GHz ones - with the same result. There are NO symtoms or indications - no error LEDs, no beeps - no indication why this machine will not boot.
I have reset the SMC, pulled (and replaced) the coin battery, and left it unplugged for over an hour. I have re-seated everything I can think of.
As of rigt now, I can hear the fans quietly humming with the optical drive making a quiet "click" sound as it seeks for a disk to read, and I can hear the faint chatter of the HD head. The power LED is nice and bright (no flashes or pulses), and there are no red LEDs on inside the case. The memory LEDs flash once during bootup and that's it (it's the RAM the machine came with). Pressing the DIAG LED button tells me the machine has power (green LED), has trickle (yellow LED) and the GPU light flashes green.
Of note, during the swap, I got a tiny bit of thermal paste (non conductive) on the contacts of my 2.0 CPUs - which I cleaned off with alcohol and let dry. The gold contacts all appear to be good on the original processors. I can't really see the tiny little pins in the CPU sockets (my eyes are not as young as they used to be!), but the "look" like they're all there.
I'm going to leave this unplugged overnight, but does anyone have any ideas?? If I managed to somehow destroy ALL of the CPUs, wouldn't I get a warning LED or beep or something? Ideas are welcome, as I cannot afford to replace this machine - it has to get me the rest of the way through college.
thanks

Hello Grant
>
Hardware sets the fans to maximum, and only properly-operating software resets them to "normal levels. If you have fans at normal levels, some software is running.
>
That's what I was thinking, but I'm not even getting the startup chime, and the HD sounds like it's powered on but not doing anything.
EDITED TO ASK: what software could be running at this point? Nothing has loaded from the HD, that much I know...
>Do you still have CPU A or CPU B failure lights?
No. I have just one original processor installed in the CPU A socket. No lights of any kind. (Even if I install an original processor in CPU B, I still occasionall will get a CPU B FAIL light, so I'm thinking I damaged the socket somehow...the light will not be consistent, but it's always the CPU B FAIL light - the light only turns on some of the time (and stays on once lit) - so that's why I pulled the B processor and am simply trying to boot with A alone)
>Do you have a flashing power on light, indicating failed or no memory?
Again, no. I can "make" the light flash by removing the memory riser, but when I re-install the riser, the light stops blinking (with power off during removal/install, of course!)
>Have you done the more severe SMC reset with the reset button OR:
unplug AC power.
Yes. I have used the SMC reset button 3 or 4 times. I unplugged the machine and left it (with coin battery installed) for an hour. The last thing I did last night was that I left it unplugged overnight (with coin battery removed). I have yet to attempt a power on this morning. I will do so and report back.
>
unplug AC power.
Press and hold power-on for a quarter minute to drain the power capacitors.
Re-plug AC power.
wait a quarter minute.
then power on.
>
Haven't done that one yet. (Didnt know about it!). Will try that second today, after attempting the initial boot up after leaving it unplugged all night. (fingers crossed) Of course, the capacitors are likely discharged now after being unplugged and battery-less all night, but you never know...
>Many things have to get synchronized after a CPU swap. It may take a half-dozen reset attempts before everything lines up again and goes.
Thanks for the hope. I will keep trying.
>
I recommmend you remove ALL distractions: all drives, all graphics cards, all PCI cards, all USB devices -- until you get the chime nothing else matters.
Already have done so. Last night I was down to 1 original CPU (CPU A), one memory riser with 1 set of original 1GB DIMMS, 1 bootable HD and nothing else (not even a keyboard/mouse - literally NOTHING else). Will keep trying in this configuration. All I really wanted last night was to hear the "bong" at power on!
Will do a bit more troubleshooting today and will report back.
Thank you!
Richard
