Mac Pro not correctly updating?

Can anyone help me?
I am working on a Mac Pro 5,1 (OSX 10.6.8).
This computer will not update correctly. If I try to install multiple updates, it tells me the computer must restart in order to install the updates. So I click on restart, and it actually does more of a log out. No updates ever occur.
So if I select to install multiple updates.... the updates fail. However, if I update individually... updating works.
So I am trying to figure out how to fix the problem. I am sure someone will just say, simply update individually. That is not an option, in my estimation. This is an expensive product that should function normally and as intended.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Well, there is the rare chance that you have system disk drive problems of one type or another and are not doing what maintenance the end user can and should do including clone your system and use Disk Repair and other tools.
You may even need to try with a clean install and update, and then use Setup Assistant.
Nothing beats having bootable system backups along with TimeMachine.
If you have Lion or Mountain Lion use Recovery Mode.
Use Safe Mode too.
Computers need the tires changed and rotated and oil, air and brake fluid maintained too.

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Are you booting from RAID? even though it warns that you can't be booting from RAID, some people still run the update.
Any problem with your system?
While it only says that you need to quit any and all open programs, sometimes it helps to reboot (and boot into Safe Mode) just to begin the process.
When there was an SMC Firmware update before (last fall) some people also had trouble.
We aren't mind readers, and to say it failed doesn't give those of us reading this (and non of us are Apple tech support) a lot to go on.

Screen dims randomly with Mac Pro - NOT a Macbook

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my screen will dim randomly when watching movies or YouTube. This is on my early 2008 Mac Pro - not a Macbook Pro which seems to have this problem commonly. I've searched and searched and lots of people have this problem with a Macbook Pro (battery saving feature or something) but there are no options to defeat screen dimming that I can find for a Mac Pro!! Mountain Lion just keeps getting worse and worse!
HelP!

Hello, thanks for taking the time to help me out!
This is a 2008 MacPro (2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) running Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.4.
I am running two monitors: a HannsG HH281 and a Hewlett PAckard HP w2408h.
When this first was happening back in March 2013, I thought it had something to do with the ambient light sensor on the HP (the HannG doesnt have a light sensor), but it also might have has something to do with the dynamic contrast on the HannsG. I had shut those features off, and I actually hadn't had this problem in a while and there has been a few Mountain Lion updates since then.
I just tried to reproduce this by turning on/off the dynamic contrast on the Hanns G - did not get the problem
again. I also just turned the ambient light sensor on for the HP, and again, the problem did not occur.
So it is hard to say if the problem is gone away or not or if it just is not showing itself at the time being?

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1 keeps repeating

Recently I had my MacPro motherboard replaced by an Authorized Repair Center, and for the most part, everything has been working great since. That said, as I've been performing my regular software updates, I've noticed that the "Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1" keeps appearing as new update. I've installed this update multiple times now (or it seemed as though I did), but it keeps appearing with each new update.
Is there some way I can complete the update? Is it possible that there is some serial number conflict between my old/new motherboard that is preventing this? Do I need to return my machine to the repair center?
Thanks for any help.

Did you actually run the update from your Utilities folder (where I believe it ends up)? You'll go through a process of rebooting and hearing the long tone / seeing grey screen and progress bar. Until it's actually run properly, you'll keep seeing reminders.

Why would I get a Sudden Motion Sensor error on a Mac Pro (not a laptop)??

Get this error all the time since upgrading to Logic 9.1.4. Thing is, I have a Mac Pro, not a laptop.
Apple sends me to this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
Should I disable sudden motion sensor? Seems silly. I am recording woth headphones, there's no movement from the computer. And again, didn't have this error for 3 years and suddenly I get it after upgrading to 9.1.4?

9.1.4 seems a bit shaky...
That said, you might try disabling "Sleep" for the drive.
As I recall, it's a generic error meaning the computer either isn't getting a response from the drive or that it can't pull data off fast enough.

Hi, I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) on mac pro. can i update to Os X Mavericks? thanks

Hi, I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) on mac pro. can i update to Os X Mavericks? thanks

We don't know a thing about your hardware, so we really cannot answer. See below.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

[URGENT] Mac Pro not booting, Fan error but fans are working.

Hello,
My server G5 is stuck on grey screen with spinning wheel. I ran the AHT and got the following:
2FAN/4/8: CPU A INTAKE
All the fans are spinning. I would really really appreciate if I can get any help or advice. I tried searching for this AHT error but could not find anything solid.
This is our main server and its crucial to our organization and I am sweating bullets here.
I reseted memory and unplugged all RAID drives. The three LED on the Logic board are Red, Yellow and Green; Power On, Trickle and Open Firmware respectively.
Thanks for any help.

Just to say that usually it helps to include the make/model of RAID controllers, whether it is hardware RAID or not. The Mac Pro Apple RAID card IS a PITA and is particular sometimes about drives and its battery reconditioning as well as mounting drives and time to create a hardware RAID5.
When a drive causes trouble it is often though not always because of directory being damaged and OS X can't even inspect to see if there is a system or if it can be mounted.
And because the G5 normally only has two SATA drives, to use three requires a bracket or something else to add drives, like Sonnet G5 Jive. And then a PCI SATA controller with internal ports. But that is just your average SATA controller.
If it was a Mac Pro the thread could and should have been moved to another forum. And you still refer to this as a Mac Pro, not PowerMac. Which leads me to wonder.
Molex y-splitters as needed in a G5 but three yrs for a set of drives, I'd say they were due for backup + erase/initialize and restore. Hopefully you kept them in shape with Disk Warrior during that time (don't rely on just Apple First Aid to maintain and repair/rebuild directories).

Mac Pro not auto-negotiating link speed correctly

We have found that none of our Mac Pros are auto-negotiating their network link speed correctly while running 10.4.10. This happens while booted into the production OS as well as netbooted to a 10.4.10 NetBoot image. The network card can be forced to negotiate at higher speeds either through the command-line or System Preferences but it will not do it on its own. We have gigabit to every desktop and imaging at the default 10 Mbit is horrible! Any help would be appreciated!

There is a kext that is the culprit:
/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel82 54XEthernet.kext
In 10.4.9 it's version is 1.1.7a3, in 10.4.10 it is 1.1.8a2, in 10.4.11 it is 1.1.8a6
That doesn't matter much really, but that's the details.
1. Get the 10.4.9 Intel Combo Updater
2. Get OpenUp or Pacifist
3. Open the DMG
4. Show contents on the PKG
5. Copy out the pax.gz file to the desktop
6. un-Gzip the pax, and open that up (with Pacifist or OpenUp)
7. Get the old kext
8. Copy it into your /System/Library/Extentions
Now, the permission on the kext need to be changed to root:wheel or if you in Finder system:wheel
Also, you should either delete the kernel caches or:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
this changes the date stamp on the directory and OS X will recreate the kernel caches...
And yes, the 10.4.11 seed update corrects this.
Also bonus Log files! These have been "prettied up" for readability, but you'll see, 10.4.10's driver is just spitting out Zer0s so the network switch/hub has no choice but to say "O K... I ' l l s p e a k s l o w e r t h e n..."
10.4.9:
Auto-Neg Advertise Reg (04d) = 0xde1,
Link Partner Ability Reg (05d) = 0xc5e1,
Gig Advertise Reg (09d) = 0xe00,
Gig Link Partner Ability Reg (10d) = 0x7800
10.4.10:
Auto-Neg Advertise Reg (04d) = 0xde1,
Link Partner Ability Reg (05d) = 0x0,
Gig Advertise Reg (09d) = 0xe00,
Gig Link Partner Ability Reg (10d) = 0x0
(Much Prettier)
10.4.11(seed):
Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (04d) = 0xde1
Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register (05d) = 0xc5e1
Auto-Negotiation Gigabit Advertisement Register (09d) = 0xe00
Auto-Negotiation Gigabit Link Partner Ability Register (10d) = 0x7800
PHY Specific Status Register (17d) = 0xaf48
If this info from 10.4.11 is NDA well bite me, I think people should know it'll be fixed in the future, right?

Mac Pro not reporting memory amount correctly - please help

Hi all,
I have recently purchased an additonal 2 x 4GB Crucial DDR2 FB-DIMM 667Mhz sticks for my Mac Pro Dual Core Intel Xeon 2 x 2.66GHz computer. I have installed these correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
I am seeing now that instead of the 13GB I should have showing in system profiler (which I initially saw after installation of the Crucial sticks), I am seeing 11GB. The two 2GB Kingston sticks are both showing incorrectly as 1GB.
Can anyone help with regards what I should do to check if it's a Riser problem or the two sticks, etc... I've ran a memory scan with TechTool Pro 5 and that came back fine, though for 11GB Ram and not the actual 13GB I should have/see.
I'm going to call Crucial and my local retailer tomorrow where I got the Kingston Ram pre-installed on purchase of the Mac, and that Kingston has a life-time warrenty anyway, but still I'd like to try and resolve this and look into the issue further myself too.
Please can someone kindly advise me what steps to take, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Ash

My advice, over the 5+ yrs Mac Pro memory:
Try with just the Crucial.
Remove the pair of 512s - doesn't add much
having 6 DIMMs is WORST config
best is 4 DIMMs matched quad set: 4 x 2GB or 4 x 4GB.
the smaller DIMMs should go down to 3/4.
Forget TTPro to test RAM. Use AHT yes but "no errors" usually means Riser is okay and mechanically the DIMMs are okay but might need more.
However, it is next to impossible to say for certain, and you can always find mixing brands or batches same can be a problem.
I would not say "correct" though.
correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
High density or largest in DIMM slots 1 & 2
Sometimes a configuration works that doesn't make total sense, like all the 4 x 2GB all on Riser A.
Riser A: 2 x 4GB
Riser B: 2 x 2GB

Mac Pro not recognizing bootable DVDs and Disk Utility giving odd results.

My issue is complex, but I'll try my best to explain it as I can.
One has been resolved it seems, but I am including it so that the whole issue can be seen in context.
Friday, May 16, 2014
Last night, after rebooting my Mac Pro from my Bootcamp partition (I'm using Windows 7 Professional if that information is helpful) I received a kernel panic upon Mac OS X booting (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
My first action was to launch Disk Utility to verify the Mac HD, verify was stopped by disk utility citing that I should insert my Mac OS X install DVD and repair the disk.
I tried booting from my Snow Leopard install DVD. After the grey Apple logo appeared with the gear spinning below it remained for roughly ten to fifteen seconds (a little long) — then the Apple logo changed to. A grey prohibitory sign (circle with a diagonal line through it, the spinning gear remained. — I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD a few time, same result.
Following this I tried booting using Disk Warrior, same result again.
I tried booting both the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs in both my upper and lower optical drives, with no change.
I decided to leave the issue and call Apple Support in the morning
Saturday, May 17, 2014
This morning I woke my Mac Pro from sleep, opened Disk Utility and tried verifying the hard drive to see if it was temporary — same result, 'please insert the Mac OS X install DVD and repair the drive.' — I also tried booting the install DVD again with no result.
I then booted my Mac into Safe Mode to check my hardware.
Upon opening Disk Utility and verifying my Mac HD — the result "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", rand the test again to see if this was an anomaly, but disk returned another pass.
I performed a normal restart of my system, although Finder was a little slower to load than normal, the system booted correctly. — I then launched Disk Utility and verified the Mac HD, it returned another pass.
This confused me, after a call to Apple Support the tech explained that 'sometime a Safe Mode boot will fix problems because it disables all non-essential processes when booting. — That makes sense to me.
However.
The issue of my Mac not recognizing bootable DVDs remains — it reads disks correctly, it just will not boot them.
Other steps I have taken to try and resolve this remaining issue.
1. a PRAM reset. — No change.
2. an SMC reset. — No change.
3. Removal of newly installed RAM. — I have tried both running the old and new RAM separately, no change using either combination.
4. Running bootable DVDs in different optical bays. — No change from both bays.
a. My upper drive is an MCE Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive, but I have booted from this drive before. (Less than six months old.)
b. My lower drive is LG DVD-RAM combo drive, I have also booted from this drive before. (Over one year old, replacement for an Apple optical drive.)
None of the above steps have helped, I still cannot boot from my optical drives — I always receive a prohibitory sign shortly after the Apple logo.
Other system information:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
8GB of RAM (4 x 2GB)
500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (less than a year old, boot drive for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
1TB Samsung HDD (for data storage and also containing Bootcamp partition)
2TB HDD (cannot remember manufacturer, contains Time Machine backups, as well as data storage)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of VRAM
Sorry for the long post but I really need to be able to boot from my optical drives.

Update: found an old Mountain Lion installation USB flash drive I created a while back.
I am able to boot from the ML USB flash drive, but am still unable to boot from my either my Snow Leopard Install DVD or my Disk Warrior DVD. — I have verified both DVD and they pass verification tests.
This leads me to believe that the problem resides either in the Mac, or in BOTH the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs.
Since I am able to boot from a USB drive, I will look into the possibility of creating a bootable Snow Leopard drive, and perhaps also a Disk Warrior drive — at least until I can resolve the 'not able to boot from DVD' issue.

Migration assistant screw up, Mac Pro not seeing wifi/TC

Hi
I've been using a MacBookPro (MBP) for almost 5 years now, with a 1TB Time Capsule (TC1) using Time Machine (TM). I am the sole user, HDD is 270Gb used/50Gb free; using Mavericks, v10.9.2. On Friday, I used Sophos anti virus home edition, to scan the MBP. It comes up with no threats identified, and I uninstall Sophos.
Yesterday I took delivery of the Mac Pro (MP) with the 3Tb Time Capsule (TC3).
I booted up the MP, with the TC3. I did not, at this stage, connect the TC3 to the internet. Using TM, I backed up the MP. TC3 flashes the amber light.
Using Migration Assistant (MA) I tried to copy the MBP to the MP, 3 times. This did not work. At the point where the target machine has listed what is available to transfer, I click Continue and MA on the MP closes, on the MBP it says something like connection lost. The screen where this happens, lists 3 items available to transfer Application, Documents/Date and Computer settings; with a content of 128kb indicated, which is clearly wrong! The connection was an Ethernet cable direct from the MBP to the MP.
At this stage, I decide to connect the MP to the internet using TC3, there's some settings to be changed on TC3 using Airport Utility and it connects ok. TC3 has a steady green light.
I run 2 software updates on the MP. I surf the net briefly, to make sure it's ok.
I try again to use MA. This time, the dialgoue box listing what's available to transfer is different. There are 2 or 3 more options, colour is present, the font is different, the box is about the same size. The MP would not let me take any screenshots as all other applications are closed when MA is running. I don't think it gave me the size of what was being transferred, but it looked more hopeful, so I Continue and the transfer starts, with an estimated time of 33 minutes.
The transfer completes.
The MBP, as you would expect, has not changed, the MP has, but not in the way I expected. Applications appear to have all transferred (without checking them), no Documents/data and no Downloads appear to have transferred; I ticked to transfer everything.;I know I can reconnect the Ethernet cable and simply copy the data across.
But the main problem appears to be, the MP does not see the wifi.
Ethernet cable is removed.
The MP asks if I want to give permission to eeEvents manager (I presume calendar related) and say yes. It also asks if I want to install a Java run time, no.
In System preferences/Network it tells me a new Thunderbolt bridge has been found and asks if it's ok, to accept it, yes. It tells me the Ethernet cable is disconnected, rightly so; it says Airport is not connected.
I open Airport utility, no sign of the TC1 or TC3 despite it searching. Apart from TC1, the MP, MBP and TC3 are sat within a couple of feet of each other.
I turn on TC1/TC3 (separately and not at the same time, then at the same time), but the MP does not see them. I've reset TC3, rebooted the MP and still the MP does not see it.
I don't get any errors or warnings coming up.
I think my next option is to try and reset the MP to the factory settings, but this won't work, as I've no internet connection to reinstall OS X. No disc is sent with the MP.
Any suggestions as to what to try? Otherwise, I'll be off to the Apple Store tomorrow for a One to One!! :-(
Thanks for any help and Happy Mother's Day!!

Take the MP and connect it via ETH to your main router.
Restart the machine holding down command option R, you should see a spinning globe
Open disk utility and reformat the MP HD as Mac journaled
Then install OSX on this drive

Mac Pro not booting from CD's using 'C'

All of a sudden I am unable to boot from a CD. Every disk that I try will not boot. The CD drive will try to read for 5 minutes, then crash with that different language please restart your computer crash screen. I've tried DISKWARRIOR and MacOS X Leopard. They will not boot. I've cleaned the disks and reset the PRAM, but still won't work. All external connections are unplugged.
3 months ago, it was working perfectly, I even did a clean install of Leopard. The only thing that was changed in my system, was an upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 88GT, but why would using a different video card force a crash during a CD boot?
Otherwise, my MacPro is working perfectly and the disk has no errors. I can read, write, install apps and run movies on the CD ROM drives. but cannot boot

Recently, I bought diskwarrior but it doesn't boot. I tried the Leopard install to test it out. That doesn't work, then I called Alsof and they said it should boot on my current system.
DiskWarrior will not boot on a Mac Pro (Early 2008).
"All Mac models meeting the system requirements for DiskWarrior *except the new Mac Pro and Xserve models introduced on 01/08/2008, the MacBook Air introduced on 01/15/2008, the MacBook/MacBook Pro models introduced on 02/26/2008 and the iMac models introduced on 04/28/2008* can be started from the CD."
<http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html>
If you want to use DiskWarrior, you need to put it on another drive or partition containing OSX 10.5.4
Therefore, all of sudden nothing boots. Like I said, the only change I did was to replace the video card.
That's why the Leopard DVD won't boot. The Leopard DVD that came with the computer doesn't have drivers for the new graphics card. If you still have the old card, install it, install Leopard, update to 10.5.4, then put in the new graphics card.

2009 Mac Pro not letting me upgrade to Mavericks nor 10.8

I have a 2009 Mac Pro with OS 10.7.5 installed, it running perfectly fine but for some reason it's not letting me update to 10.8 nor 10.9. Mavericks works totally fine from ssd card mounted on a usb dock but when I try to use the SSD inside or the hard drive the Mac Pro came with it does not boot up. I was getting a problem when trying to upgrade Mavericks from the store where Mac Pro wouldn't boot, it will just show a question mark so I reinstalled OS 10.7.5. When trying to install Mavericks from a usb drive, Mac Pro does not see none of the internal hard drives and for some reason does not even let me eject the optical bay, has this happen to anyone if yes, what you do to fix the problem.

"Image" was not a reference to the physical drive, but rather the actual bytes representing the version of Mac OS X on the drive.
• If you built Mac OS X on that drive from the Mac OS X that shipped with another Mac, it will be trouble.
• If you built the Mac OS X on that drive from a "Full Retail", "Purchased" (for $0, but it still counts as a purchase) version from the Mac App store, it has all Drivers and should work fine.
