Mac Pro keyboard issues after OS X Mavericks v 10.9.5 Update
My keyboard stopped functioning after the last OS X Mavericks v10.9.5 Update on 9/18/14. I'm unable to input my login information to start a remote access session. I need to fix this so I can resume working from home. Is their an easy fix to this problem?
Both, but you need to make sure your hardware is compatible.

Mac Pro never sleeps after upgrading to Mavericks
Hi Folks
Just realised that after upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro never goes into sleep mode after the time set for it in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
This never happened with Mountain Lion.
Any body here having the same issue?
FYI - This is a 2012 Mac Pro having duo 6-cores, 64 GB RAM, 1 x SSD and 3 x HDD.
Thanks you for your comments.
BTest after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computerwill not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
and uncheck both boxes marked
Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
Step 4
Reset the SMC.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
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.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 6
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 7
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again. -
Mac Pro runs slow after upgrading to mavericks?
I can't figure it out..
Been a mac user sinc Macintosh then mac plus.
First time i have no explanation.
I upgraded my 2010 Dual Quad Mac Pro 96gb ram, ran so very very fast with Sonnet 4 port eSATA and MOTU PCIE 424 card.
Ever since i upgraded it is so SLLLLOOOWWW!!. I have tired re-installing, contacted all the hardware vendors and software vendors, got all the updates.
I cant figure out why it is running like a 20 year old computer?. I get the wheel, Finder hangs allot, will not relaunch. I take out ALL THE THIRD PARTY CARDS, and boot, still runs like a turtle. Adobe creative suite slow, Aperature takes hrs to update library. Tried creating a new library. Still slow. Avid Media composer, Final Cut Pro X is so slow at rendering i can drive to Santa Cruz from Santa Barbara to MAvericks surf spot go surfing and come home to find out it is 95% done. Also copying large 20 gig folders from one internal to another takes hrs. used to take minuts.
I need help! It is so unpleasent using my mac pro now, , miserable user experience. I dread booting as it takes 5 min to go. I have dual monitors. Apple NVIDA card. could it be CUDA? no updates availble. I removed all the third party cards, and nothing happens. Removed all usb, FW, etc pluged in usb mouse from Apple Factory.
What ever happend there must be a patch or fix? all of my friends with Macs all having same slow issue. Please offer some fixes.
1. Is there a way to __Un-install Mavericks? and return my computer back to previous OS? without ruining or formating HD?
It seems like the only solution. I would Purchase a new MAc Pro, but none of my studio takes thunderbolt, and it is so exspensive i am cornerd. I would be so happy if i could just remove Mavericks, instead of taping aspirine all over my Macs. Please Apple send an update that fixes this. Just google it 100,00's of users? we all love Apple, we need you to help us help you! anyone? please help.
Please help!!
Kiind Regards
B1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec sh
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that takes administrator privileges.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

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?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! -
When do Boot Camp updates come? Mac Pro SATA issue driving me NUTS
I just got a Mac Pro, FINALLY, and after a long wait, I've had to suffer through hours of shoving Windows XP on my Mac Pro with Boot Camp 1.1. After successfully getting it all put on there, the stupid SATA issues are driving me nuts. I tried the slipstreaming fix TWICE, and I have no patience to try it a third.
Basically, I know 1.1 just came out, but do we know when the next update will come that will supposedly fix the SATA issues? How often do updates come for this so we can have a basic window of when the update will come?but to expect Apple to support Windows SATA driver issue IMHO is not a fair expectation of Apple
I disagree… in this case at least. Apple has stated that Boot Camp is a feature of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and to not have it work correctly, or to its potential, on their flagship product, the Mac Pro, as it were intended then this makes it unacceptable. For Apple's customers and for Apple themselves.
Apple IS ultimately responsible for having this work out of the box and with standard off the shelf product, which includes the minimum Windoews product (Microsoft Windows XP SP2 at this time).
Bear in mind that Boot Camp is still in beta so demanding a fix is a little difficult and the the part that I feel is unfair to Apple. While I have stated previously (in another thread) that Apple will fix this issue… they can't not, it appears the reality may be a little more difficult. It is possible that upon the release of Leopard the minimum system requirements on the Mac Pro will be Windows Vista.
What I find a little odd though is that there are no SATA issues on the rest of the Mac product line. -

When working from home I connect an older USB Mac Pro keyboard (one of the clear plastic ones) to my Macbook Pro 15", OSX 10.7.5. The integrated Macbook keyboard itself has that F3 "Expand" function that I frequently use to find stuff when I've got a million things open. Is there a way to program one of the function keys on the external keyboard to do the same thing?
Considering that such a program is OS-specific rather than model-specific, it might help to also ask in the forum for the OS version you have, which appears to be Tiger. Those forums are here:

I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8., I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8. How do I update to a more advanced version of OS X with a download?
You need to go through 10.6.3 and 10.6.8 to get to 10.7 or 10.8. If you find that 10.6.8 isn't enough, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Anyone got an idea on how to fix the problem?I have 8GB ram on a late 2009 MacBook Pro, which has weathered good times and bad.
Reboots are killing me. It seems every root program has to do its thing all over again. (The same is true of my more recent MB Air, but of course, it has only a couple RAM that can't be built up, so the effect is less pronounced.)
I also note -- having "upgraded" to Mavericks directly from Snow Leopard -- that iCloud slows everything down. My Contacts (formerly Address Book, a perfectly good name) are atrocious, always requiring some sort of dishing information in and out with iCloud and ... well, it's just not pleasurable.
But this is progress, right? At least the battery lasts longer to compensate for more wait time. -
Mac Pro having issues with widgets after booting in 64-bit mode
I tried the temp 64-bit boot (holding down 6 and 4 on startup), Mac Pro boots fine. I've noticed a difference in how my system runs n 64-bit. Much peppier. But the one thing I've noticed is that widgets are coming up strange. More specifically, The Weather Network, Conversion, and Translate widgets. The letters and numbers are coming up as outlined boxes. The drop down menus still work, the names just don't come up. ie. In the Conversion widget, the drop down menu name is boxes, but when you click on it, you can see the names of the selections. But as soon as you choose one, the letters turn to boxes.
I've restarted my computer to boot back in 32-bit, and don't see the same issues. Is anyone aware of this, what's causing it, and if there is a fix? Thanks.HI Eric,
Some widgets and browser plugins as well such as Flash aren't supported in 64-bit. Some widgets were originally written for PowerPC platforms.
Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Mac Pro slow down after Yosemite 10.10.2 upgrade
Upgraded in January.
I get the spinning color wheel all the time. Programs crash.
I've run adware medic a few times, and etrecheck.
First run through, adware found Genio.
Since then, it hasn't. Etrecheck still says it sees it, but Adware doesn't. Still no good.
I reset SMS and PRAM.
This machine is slow. Previous to the upgrade, this machine was very fast!

Activity Monitor - Mavericks also Yosemite
Activity Monitor in Mavericks has significant changes
Performance Guide
Why is my computer slow
Why your Mac runs slower than it should
Slow Mac After Mavericks
Things you can do to resolve slowdowns see post by Kappy -
Hi, my Mac Pro apparently goes to sleep whenever I leave it for a significant amount of time, i.e. to go to sleep at night. When I come back to it, I hit the spacebar to wake it up. The computer makes noise like it is waking, the screen comes on long enough for me to open an application like Entourage then it immediately shuts back down. In the beginning when this problem happened, I could touch the space bar and it would just come on, now after so many times of that happening, the problem has graduated.
Now nothing works to wake it back up. I know that it hasn't shut down because the light is on on the computer. However, the keyboard doesn't work at this time, the mouse has no effect, nothing will bring my display back up. I even touch the power button on the monitor and the monitor appears to be working properly, but it cannot show me my display screen. The only things that fixes the problem is if I hold the computers power button until it powers off then power it on again.
The fact that it wasn't doing this when I first got it tells me there is something seriously wrong with it. Does anyone out there know why this is happening? I'm afraid that eventually one day I will hold the power button and power it off and it won't come back on.
BTW, I searched the discussion forums and didn't find the exact problem discussed.Hey Will. It's interesting you are having the same issue. May I ask what generation your mac pro is? Mine is a 2006.
As I said in another thread, I have been in a game of troubleshooting phone tag with an apple specialist for about a week and a half now with almost nothing to show for it. Today he suggested I try plugging my computer in without going through a surge protector. Although the protector I have is brand new, I tried anyway and the machine still shutdown on a wake attempt when plugged directly into a different outlet.
Like you, I am getting VERY fed up with this issue. Although it's intermittent, it's serious enough to cause significant problems and it's not something I am willing to live with.
My instincts say the problem is with the power supply or possibly the SMC on the logic board. However, until apple is willing to fix the machine, I seem to be stuck trying to prove to them there is actually an issue. All in all it's shutdown on wake at least 20 times now, which should be more than enough to warrant a service visit in my opinion.
The truly discouraging thing is I submitted the console logs (the platform failure ones) to the tech specialist and he forwarded them to the apple engineers. I had high hopes the seemingly important logs might shed some light on the cause and therefore allow a fix to occur. Instead, when I spoke with him today, he said the messages didn't indicate a cause of the issue. (Again, this is according to the engineer who looked at the logs.)
So, as it stands, I am being told to try all sots of stuff to narrow down the root of the issue. I even tried a re installation of snow leopard to no avail.
I'll post again if anything new comes up.
