Mac Pro keeps freezing & no longer Shuts Down properly

Hya.
Im using a Mac Pro in work (Mac Os 10.5.8. with 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) . One day while doing a "Save as" in a program, the program froze/became unresponsive. In the Force Quit tab, it says "not responding", so i click force quit on it. It closes the window ive been working on and i get the message that the program has closed, BUT in the Force Quit tab, it still shows it listed and "not responding" next to it. It is also showing as running in the dock still. So obviously i cant restart this program, because its unresponsive. I have to shut down the computer, it shuts down everything else, but gets stuck trying to close down this frozen application, so it doesnt shut down the computer and i have to just switch the computer off.
I thought maybe it was just one program, but its litterally any program, could be safari if i say...click a box in facebook, or sendspace where it asks to search my computer for a file, if i ask it to do this, then the program freezes. It seems to mostly happen when i ask the computer to search for something i guess. "Save As" in most programs. Or if i click to import an image into a program, then bam, freeze.
Sometimes even "Finder" freezes and i have to just switch the computer off.
I generally get about 20-25mins without it happening, that is if im not heavily "saving as" or importing things, or asking the computer to do anything "tough".
Also, if one program freezes, and i ignore it and keep using another program, within a few minutes the next program im using freezes.
Some of the things ive tried are killing the running program in the Terminal application, and trying to quit the process in the Activity Monitor application. Neither work in closing the frozen program.
Ive used Disk Utility to see if there are any problems with the disk and there are none. We also bought DiskTools Pro and it also sees no problem with the hardware.
Originally i had something like 40gb on my desktop, i thought this might be slowing things down, but ive cleared it to nothing on the desktop and the problem continues.
I know I could reinstall the operating system, but i just dont like the idea of having to put everything back in its proper place again, and files "linking" up to their original place.
Not sure if this ties in with the problem, but we have an external hardrive plugged in which used to automatically sync up with time machine. This no longer works, and havnt been able to Back Up since the problem started.
Anyone have any idea what could be the problem before we have to send it off to get repaired?
Thanks in advance!

that is why my approach
clone your system
be ready to restore if needed
don't rely on Disk Utility
have an emergency boot drive / a working clone
keep data on another drive
spare extra drives
probably Disk Warrior has been rated #1 for over 10 yrs to rebuild directory
you should never need to reinstall, but you do need backups and how to use them

Mac Pro starts up and then shuts down, how do I fix this?

Recently when I start up my Mac Pro it start its process and then I see the Apple Logo and then the screen goes black and the monitor says I think something like no digital signal. I have to start up my Mac Pro a number of times before it finally stays open. Because I use to see a bright flash when the Mac Pro would start up or shut down, I thought that may be the problem had to do with my monitor but I'm not sure. I tried disk utilities and Tech Tools Pro 6 but nothing so far has helped the problem. I don't think its my harddrive since all test say its OK. Then I remembered some says something that computers have an internal battery and that they need to be replaced from time to time. I don't know if my Mac Pro has a battery but does anyone know if this would cause my problem?

There is a pram battery but I don't think that's the cause of your problem.
Have you blown all the accumulated dust out of your machine?
Try reseating the video card, maybe the ram too.
Run Apple Hardware Test (boot from your second installer DVD, push D down immediatly after the boot chime).

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?

Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
Tried safe boot several times. No help.
Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?

... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one.

My brand new mac pro keeps freezing

Hi, i have recently just bought a Mac Pro from the apple store, i have only had it about a week and half.
whenever i am using the computer, it keeps freezing on me everything stops working apart from the mouse, at first i thought it might because i have too many programmes open but it happens even when I'm doing a simple task, most of the time it takes 2-3 minutes till it kicks back in and starts working but sometimes i have to turn the mac off by the power button as it takes so long. would be great if someone could help me, as i said its brand new so something like this should not be happening.
many thanks,
luke

If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Mac Pro keep freezing and powering off itself

I have a Mac Pro 2008. For weeks now, it will start, work for plus minus 4 minutes and freeze or go off itself.
There is no authorised maintenance in my country. Has someone experience the same before ? Have tried all reset, etc..
Does it has to do with the power supply ? It is connected via a UPS.
PLEASE HELP.

Can you tell us how much RAM (Memory) you have? It's listed by clicking on the  in your title bar....go to About This Mac and it's in the 1st window.
We would also like to know what size hard drive you have and how much free space is on it.
If you click on your Hard drive icon (should be upper right hand corner of your screen), or the Finder in your Dock...when the window opens it says at the bottom how much Free Space you have on your drive.
If you go to the , click on About This Mac, click on More Info... in that window. The next window says how big your hard drive is under Hardware....click on Serial-ATA.....look under Capacity:
We need to know this cause if a hard drive is too full it slows things down and creates operational difficulties.

Mac Pro 3.1 (Early 2008) - Shuts down unexpectedly , Shuts down after 5-6 sec, On sleep it shuts down

My Mac Pro is doing some weird things on random time frames, for example:
-For 4-6 months it works perfectly, I mean it never shuts down unexpectedly and it goes to sleep mode without a problem but after that it goes back to this weird phase and after 2-3 days back to normal.
In the last 3 years I have replaced the following components:
Graphic Card (from Nvidia GeForce 8800GT to ATI Radeon HD 5770)
Memory (From 10 GB to 32 GB)
2x New Riser Cards
New Power Supply
New HDD
Logic Board Battery
With all these replacements I still have this issue, do you think the Logic Board is causing that?
Please advice !!!

Mac Pro 2008 no Chime then shuts down

Hi,
Yesterday I shut down my Mac pro and it shut down as normal.
Few minutes later when I tried booting it, the fans would startup then a few seconds later the machine would shut down. Never got to the chime stage.
I removed everything ( the 3rd party ram modules, the graphic card, the E-sata Card, all the Hdds except the main OSX one, removed all USB cords etc ) and tried booting up again. No luck :/
Later I put the Graphic card back in ( But didn't plug a monitor into it ) and tried booting. The first time the red leds came on, the fans started, the Graphic card fans also strated but still no chime. Waited for 2 minutes then I shut it down again. Next try same problme as before - the fans would startup then a few seconds later the machine would shut down. No chime.
Disconnected the power cord and left system off overnight.
Booted up in the morning and I heard the chime a bit late ( this is happneing more frequently last few weeks before yesterday , late chimes on boot ) and the sytem booted up fine, osx loaded fine etc. The third party rams are in but I havent loaded the Other HDDS nor the E-sata card as yet.
I am wondering.. WTH happened ? Will this problem re- occur ? Has anybody been through this situation ? What was their experience ?

I removed the boot drive .. everything ...and tried but the problem still persisted ( even reset the SMC as you suggested )
I had a 8800 GT but that died and so I went back to the stock amd 2600XT that came with the tower. If I could convince the local mac resellers to sell me the 5770 I would. But they insist I must have the 2009 or later mac pro to purchase ( WTH :/ ). BAH !
I have sent the tower for analysis at a local apple authorised service center. Should be getting a feedback in two days time. Will update here when I get some news.
And yeah there seems to be a lot of 2008 mac pro issues lately. Googe throws up quite a few recent ones.
Pity.. was a Solid machine for me 50 months straight

Mac pro keeps freezing up.

i have installed a crucial ssd in my mac pro (2.66 Ghz Quad core Intel Xeon). I am running OS 10.6.8. I have read about issues of freezing with ssds with hibernation, and have put my settings so the computer doesn't hibernate. I am trying to back up all of my pictures and videos. It takes so long, however, that the computer will freeze before I can complete my backup. I've tried to run time machine... same problem. If I do a hard reset, the computer works without a problem.

Until you get your backups done, use
system preferences > Energy Saver ...
set computer sleep to NEVER (extreme right) and uncheck Put Hard Disks to sleep when possible.
Once your backups are done you can adjust those settings.
Non-Apple SSD drives accumulate old data that Mac OS X marked as deleted and added to the free pool, but did not Zero.
Over time, your SSD drive will choke on this stuff unless you do something to Zero it out. TRIM Enabler by groths seems to be mature enough now that it can be trusted not to do damage, but your mileage may vary. You will still need backups of anything you cannot re-create.
You can also use a third-party tool to consolidate free space and then immediately write free space with Zeroes. This takes time and enrgy, while TRIM Enabler seems to "just work".

My mac book keeps telling me to shut down and restart

Mt Macbook is about 6 years old. It is now not strating up: I keep getting a message to shut down and start again. I have tried to perform a soft reset; now the computer just shuts off a few seconds after starting. I do not have the installation discs. Any suggestions?
I do not mund losing the saved files; I performed a back up just a few days ago. I just want the computer to start again.
Thanks

Sounds like you got incompatible or bad RAM.
Return it and buy from OWC or Crucial

What is up with ios7.1 my phone keeps freezing up or shut down in mid app.? Fix this please

What happened to ios 7.1 my phone keeps freezing up or stop in mid app. never had that problem before?

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Mac Pro won't sleep or shut down

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro (2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) running latest software. It won't go to sleep. It looks like it does but it doesn't. I get a grey screen saying it had to restart because of a problem. I have to turn it off manually on the button and the secure emty trash doesn't seem to empty because the icon bin has "paper" in it. Also, I get asked if I want to remove all items. I say yes and it still looks full. I just reinstalled EVRYTHING a couple of weeks ago (from my old 10.5 discs). What to do now?

Hi-
The problems that you describe indicate a user account problem, which are typically caused by preference settings, or, items in login or startup items files.

The easiest way to test/resolve this is to create a new user account for yourself.

Intel iMac keeps freezing, lagging and shutting down.

My iMac has for the past week or so repeatedly frozen, sometimes leading to it showing a blue screen forcing me to shut it down.
When I then try to turn it back on, it doesn't load. However, a Safe Boot and HD restore fixes the problem temporarily. The computer works ok, with a bit of a lag sometimes. But as soon as I open too many apps, or sometimes just for no real reason at all, it just freezes and stays that way. This means I can't really use my computer for much else other than ubrowsing the web. Programs such as Word or Photoshop mostly just freezes the computer up.
I've never had this problem before at all. What could the prolem be? Is it a hardware problem? I'm unsure what to do, and I really don't want to turn in my computer anytime soon.
Thanks, William.

It is really hard to say if the hard drive, or hard drive interface is faulty without swapping in another hard drive. Since the Intel imac is not made for user access, I would ask a service technician to diagnose your error. If your data is not backed up, try a recovery using tools on my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
if none of them see anything, ask if the technician can try to just remove the hard drive, if there is still some non-backed up data on it, so you can get a chance to put it in a Firewire SATA hard drive case to see if it can see any data that way.

Mac pro keeps freezing!

I was organizing photos and caused the first freeze. Now I have restarted the computer 9 times but as soon as the desktop loads it slows down ad freezes. Other users are fine. I have plenty of memory. I tried to go to disc clean up too.
<Edited By Host>

There is no disk clean up.
There is Lion Recovery mode
Also Safe Boot.
You should have made a bootable backup clone.
A clean install too on a new drive to start from.

Whenever I power down it either restarts or hangs after shutting windows down. I have upgraded the firmware to 1.8 and all the wake-on options are off.
Anyone have any ideas?
