Mac Pro - Restart stuck spinning cog/wheel - Urgent!!

Hi,
I've just gone to restart my Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66GHz comp and am now stuck with my background showing and a spinning cog/wheel which has been spinning for a fair while now.
Please help!!
Ash

Hi,
Sorted it by holding down the power button to shut it down, then rebooted. I think some files weren't being emptied from the trash properly.
It was actually showing my background wallpaper not a blue/grey screen.
Last time I turned off holding down the power button my Lacie drive died (last week after a huge comp crash when the drives were still connected and couldn't be ejected due to the crash), which I'm trying to recover using Data Rescue tomorrow when my backup drive arrives.

  • My mac pro restarts when waking from sleep

    Hello everyone pls help me.
    I have a annoying problem and that is that my Mac Pro restarts after it has been to sleep.
    Last week I updated the system with an update from Apple, safteyupdate 2013-003 version 1.0.
    I have swedish OsX 10.6.8.
    After this update my mac always restarts after waking from sleep.
    So what may have gone wrong?
    Pls help me in a simple way, and pls describe in easy steps if I have to do something.

    One suggestion is to always have cloned your system ahead of time, that means before making changes or updates, early on when it is fresh and working.
    And don't just restart. Use Safe Mode at least, better yet use Recovery Mode if on Lion (which I do recommend) and have a small OS Emergency drive for any maintenance - along with a clone working copy of your system.
    Don't just reinstall over your system. Do a fresh install on another drive. Image it and set that for maintenance, then clone that to be a new working base for your system.
    Setup Assistant does an amazing job.
    Forced restarts can corrupt the filesystem and directory as the changes in memory or cache are not written out and drives are not unmounted properly and will come to bite in the rear.

  • Mac Pro gets stuck on the grey screen and won't finish booting

    I have a Mac Pro 1, 1 recently (successfully) upgraded to snow leopard that gets stuck on the grey screen with the spinning rainbow cursor (after the apple logo and brief blue screen) and won't finish booting up. This happened after my computer froze up and I had to force quit.  I checked out the forums and I tried all the all the suggestions (like disconnecting peripherals) and appropriate disk utilities, saw no errors with the HD reported, and had no trouble doing a safe boot  (everything works o.k. there) or starting up from the software disk to perform the repairs.  I did notice that during the repair permissions command, it gets stuck in the last few minutes, the CD starts to chug along, and everything freezes and I have to force quit.  This happens every time I try it.  I eventually backed everything up, erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, reset PRAM and NVRAM, but I'm still getting the grey screen on restart.  Tech tool deluxe reports a "fail" on the video RAM, but everything else seems to check out.  Could it be a graphics card issue?   I did notice some funky visual glitches occurring prior to the breakdown.  Any other ideas?

    I wouldn't trust Apple Disk Utility to do a hard drive repair, but I would go with TechTool Pro 5/6 if you have that instead of Disk Warrior from Alsoft.
    Clone the drive, though you should have some bootable backup clones already; repair the clone; then boot and work from that drive. Always have a working copy of the system.
    And off load all your data to other drives.

  • Slow Macbook Pro with frequent spinning rainbow wheel!

    My Macbook Pro suddenly is very slow especially when using Google Chrome. I usually get the spinning rainbow wheel for most tasks and on chrome it often says "waiting on cache" or "waiting on app cache". I don't think it's just chrome because I have had problems with other applications as well. I've tried repairing disk permissions multiple times as well as deleting browsing history and nothing has solved the problem so far. I had a similar problem earlier in the year when I had to go to a store to get theBRACKET,HDD,FRONT,WITHIR/SLEEP/HDCABLE fixed. Any tips or suggestions would help! Don't really want to have to go back to a store to get this fixed again. etrecheck is below

  • Mac Pro Restart and Hardware Test Problems

    This appears to be a continuation of a thread I began titled "MacPro Restart or Reboot Problems" in which the reboot problem still seems to be evident.
    Initially, I was having problems with rebooting but after rebuilding my directory with DiskWarrior, the issue disappeared. Then recently, I entered my password and the Mac restarted itself and the same problem is back where the drive seems to try and "catch" but can't.  And now its back to  happen anytime I want to re-boot (however, this tends to be rare.)
    So I ran DiskWarrior again and it reported no problems. Then I tried to run Apple Hardware Test and about 40 seconds into the test, with the message "Testing memory" stated, the fans begin to spin at a high pitch.  The system locks up and the only recourse is to press the on/off button on the front of the Mac Pro.  If I try to wait it out, the Mac Pro will scream and spin until I restart.
    I've ran the same AHT test on an identical Mac Pro that is only a few months older than this one and even using the Extended test, the AHT takes a little over four minutes.  And the Testing Memory message appears early in the test  and moves on.  Then, much later in the test, the fans spin up to the same high pitch whine like the problem Mac Pro.  But only one at a time (there seem to be three of them) and each one quickly quiets down once they're tested.
    So that's the beef. Something I've considered is this Mac Pro came with two Gigs of Apple memory installed. I'm wondering should I uninstall one of them and re-try the AHT to see if it could be the memory.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks!

    I took my G5 to an Apple Store (2 hrs away) and had a Mac Genius look at it. I told him about the reboot issue and the weird skippy sound it made when it tries to reboot. When I mentioned about the G5 locking up during an AHT, he thought that sounded like a hard ware issue. So he ran a diagnostic test with his Apple CD and the G5 tested fine (?!!) We then ran my original AHT disc that I had brought with me. It too tested fine-- it didn't lock up at all! We rebooted like a half a dozen times-- with both keyboard and via the menu-- and it rebooted like a champ. Everything we tried, the G5 rebooted fine. I asked if maybe the keyboard, mouse or monitor back in my office could be part of the the issue. He replied anything connected to the G5 could be a culprit.
    So I brought it back and hooked it all back up. And it would not reboot! It tries to reboot and makes the same sound, same problem! I disconnected and replaced cables and keyboards and mice. No dice. I took the G5 down to an edit bay where we have an identical G5 (same 2 GB of memory, maybe 3 months older) and connected its power cable, mouse, keyboard and Cinema Display monitor to my G5 and tried it. No reboot, same problem. I reconnected the older G5 back to its original cables/setting and it reboots-- no problems.
    I'm at a loss. I guess I will go about doing a zero drive process and see what that brings... However, one thing I have seemed to confirm: the skippy sound that continously emunates from the G5 as it attempts to reboot seems to be coming from one of the optical drives (the G5 came with two DVD optical drives). I'm wondering if I go in and disconnect the optical drive(s), will that lead to something??
    BTW, I did hook up the G5 to another monitor, thinking that maybe it could be a graphics card or monitor issue with the original display. I used a PC monitor with a DVI connector and the problem was still there.

  • Mac Pro gets stuck on Apple logo

    I installed Lion last week (clean restore) and everything was running fine...  I left my mac for a little, came back and noticed on the top right of the mac by the time and spotlight the screen looked weird, like the screen was a different color, but it was just there. Then I realized the mac was also frozen.  I held the power button and when it restarted it got stuck on the Apple logo... 
    I've tried restarting in Safe Mode.  Held down the option key, tried using the Lion Recovery HD, a flash drive with Lion on it (that I used to install Lion with) and a Snow Leopard install disk.  They all get stuck on the Apple logo.  The weird thing is, my friend took out my HD from my Mac Pro and put it in his and it worked perfectly...  So I thought it was a hardware problem with my mac, but the thing is, when I hold down the option key and I load into Windows 7 off of my mac it works perfectly fine, so it seems it's not a hardware problem...
    Anyone get any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Zevie

    Hardware can mean that you have something that Lion is allergic to.
    Not that it prevents the machine from running 10.6 or Windows 7/8 even.
    Don't repair a system with an older system. Or tool. Make sure that it is updated and compliant. Thinks like TechTool Pro 6 and DW all have to be tested, and updated. Disk Utility from 10.6.8 is probably not a good idea and does not understand the new drive partitioning. Use the Recovery Mode partition instead.
    And wait. Unless you like to test a new OS or on the edge, where it bleeds.

  • Mac pro is stuck on gray screen

    Ok I think this month has been the worst month of my life. My Mac Pro showed me the gray screen with a question mark on it. I took it to the apple store and they told me NOTHING  can be done for me other then install a new hard drive ( so untill today 2 weeks ago I am still trying to retrieve my photos from my hard drive I took it to a place where they asked for $6K to do that ) I installed a new hard drive last week and installed every thing I need and yesterday in the morning my computer gave me the ORDER to shut downwith that dark gray screen with many different languages so I obeyed the MAC I shut down and turned it back on, then later that same night it told me to shut down again so I did and just NOW when I went to turn it on it got stuck on the GRAY screen. WHAT is happening? my comp. is on  10.6.8 can someone plse help me. I am LOST. ever since I bought this computer I had my main hard drive changed twice and my power supply was changed 1 year and half to 2 yrs ago.

    The Directory on the Hard drive can get messed up. In 10.4, the cleanest way to deal with that is to boot from the Installer DVD, but do not Install. Wait a quarter minute for the menuBar to be drawn, then choose Disk Utility off the Menu.
    Chose your Hard drive by Hardware_name and ( Repair Disk ).
    When you are done, choose Set Starup Disk, and use it to set your startup disk and then Restart.

    That doesn't look like a complete panic report. Is there any more to it? Regardless, I suggest you run the extended form of the Apple Hardware Test. If it fails to identify a fault, remove the RAM upgrade and test with the original RAM.

  • Mac Pro Restart Failure....

    Hi all,
    Tonight I have experienced a strange restart problem that was not present earlier today. If I try to restart my mac pro, it shuts down ok but I just get a repetitive clicking sound whilst the machine is trying to restart. This to me would suggest a bad disk however the computer will shut down and boot normally. It's just when trying to do a restart. I have run a verify disk / repair permissions etc on all drives and disk utility reports all to be ok. I have also run Leopard cache cleaner. Any ideas why this may have started happening and is there anything I can do to check the disks a bit more in depth? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. No ups, machine is set not too sleep other than the screen which is set to switch off after an hour of non use. The circuit is dedicated to my mac pro including the monitor. It really sounds like one of the hard disks is seeking, getting to a certain point then trying again, over and over. It has been fine. I have however recently added an additional 8GB of ram. Wether or not this would affect anything I don't know. I have checked the lights on the risers, seems fine and everything shows up as ok in the memory system profiler. Other than the thought of a faulty disk I'm baffled! When running the machine, which works smoothly, I do hear a lot of relay type clicks coming from the tower. Not sure what this is exactly but presume it as being normal. Thanks.

  • Mac Pro restarts when waking from sleep

    Hi everyone.
    I just got a brand new Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz), and had Apple upgrade the RAM to 2GB (4 x 512MB). My first problem is that the computer always restarts when waking from sleep, which is annoying! I have reset the SMC by unplugging the machine for a minite, but the problem persists. I have also tried sleeping the computer with nothing plugged in except the monitor and keyboard/mouse, but I get the same problem. All software/firmware is fully up to date.
    I have also just noticed that the System Profiler states that there is only 1GB RAM in the computer, even though I am sure that it recognised 2GB when I got the machine a fortnight ago (I even have a screen shot of 'about this mac' to prove it!). Can anybody help, or do I need to phone Apple support?
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    I have a similar problem - hard restart when closing the lid to put it to sleep. It looks like there is a bluetooth issue(?), but I'm not sure what to do with it. We don't have any blue tooth devices in our house. From the console log:

  • Mac Pro restarting spontaneously

    Within a few minutes of starting the Mac Pro up it shut it self down and restarted. It's done this before but some times restarts by itself a couple of times before settling. A previous time it restated but with the fans flat out.
    This restarting problem can occur days or weeks apart with it switched on every day and other than that the computer performs faultlessly and starts normally.
    I've done a SMC and PRAM reset and it went for over a week without any problems before this started again.
    Anything else I can try before contacting Apple because as it happens so infrequently it going to be hard for them to fault.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've tried that and have nothing other than the mouse and keyboard connected currently. Still does the restarting mostly within 10-15 minutes of switching on. Only does this sometimes usually days or a week mor more apart. The rest of the time it starts normally and runs normally.
    Also tried these:
    Resetting SMC and PRAM.
    Ran hardware test from the install disc
    Ran Hardware test from Techtool Deluxe that came with Applecare.
    In Disc Utility ran verify disc verify permissions and repair disc permissions.
    Did a clean install of Leopard and installed all updated.
    None of these have helped or found anything.
    Time to see Apple I think. Still have AppleCare until Feb.

  • Mac Pro restarts instead of waking from sleep

    Since installing 10.5.6, my 8-core Mac Pro (early 2008) has lost the ability to wake from sleep. It seems to go to sleep pretty quickly (if a little faster than before), but when I wake it up by pressing a key on the keyboard, I hear the Mac startup chime and watch as it restarts.
    I've manually shut down and booted up a few times now, and the sleep misbehavior continues.
    Anyone else? My 10.5.6 MacBook has no problems waking from sleep, only the tower.
    --Chris

    Well, I thought this was resolved a couple of weeks ago after reading a suggestion that called for doing a controlled shutdown, then unplugging everything including power, waiting a minute, replugging only power, and starting up, using the power button on the front to sleep and wake up. It seemed to be waking instead of restarting, and was working normally for about three weeks.
    As of today, I'm back to restarting when I try to wake. I have tried the unplug-everything trick again, and have zapped the PRAM multiple times (seriously, though, does that EVER work?). Nothing helps.
    As mentioned above, I'm already on the BootROM version that EFI Update 1.3 provides, so that's not an option.
    Thinking the next stop might be the Genius Bar, in hopes those guys have seen this.

  • 2008 Mac Pro restarting itself after waking from sleep

    Recently, my Mac Pro has taken to restarting itself unasked upon waking from sleep. I just moved to a town with a hot summer, and my room has no air conditioning and gets quite warm. Could the temperature in the room be causing this? I don't think so, because it happens in the cool of the morning after an all night sleep, too.
    Another factor I just discovered is that one of my RAM chips has stopped showing up in the system profiler.

    Replace the pair of DIMMs first.
    Monitor the temps inside.
    Install and use SmcFanControl 2.2
    Run Apple Hardware Test
    You may want to try a clean system install to test with once you have the RAM replaced. Faulty RAM can cause all kinds of issues. And dirty files. Some deeper check for corrupt files than Disk Utility is probably in order.
    There is a significant "Inrush-current" on boot and wake from sleep with the 2008s. They need good power, a 1500VA/900W UPS, and sensitive to other equipment on the same circuit.

  • Mac Pro restart hangs

    Mac Pro running Tiger. Recently began hanging on restart - will shut down and turn on fine; however, choosing restart from the shut down menu or restarting after software upgrades causes the machine to close down apps and display, but machine never completely turns off. After it hangs I force a power off and everything boots up normally. No error messages on reboot. Any ideas?

    RAM: 16 GB DDR2

    Message was edited by: nsciacca (added specs)

    It probably won't happen on a Safe Boot.
    It probably isn't related to the problems with the Radeon X1900 and heat and dust build-up.
    It could be your drives need directory maintenance with Disk Warrior. At shutdown it syncs and updates the backup volume information table, the journal, as well as writing out any changes not saved to disk and still in memory (and you have 16GB).
    Cloning the system is always a good idea to do from time to time, followed by reformat and restore (after you run Disk Utility and Disk Warrior on the new clone).
    Sometimes reapplying the combo update helps, other times an Archive & Install.
    Soft read and write errors.
    You shouldn't need to reinstall. And as long as you keep backups and use SuperDuper you can have a working clone and either use the newly cloned drive or restore back to your boot drive.
    Formatting a drive (Partition and set new volumes, not erase) insures that the first and last disk sectors are safe for writing (you can't test or map out bad blocks in the partition tables once created).
    Corrupt cache files can also cause trouble which is why SuperDuper skips copying those and lets the system create fresh when first booted.
    The worst error is if the journal is corrupt. Turn off journaling, repair the drive, then re-enable journaling, all while booted from your backup/emergency drive.
    Having a working backup clone and an emergency boot drive are things I consider essential, using SuperDuper (personal favorite) along with Disk Warrior.
    A bad USB cable or USB hub, or some external device can cause a system to hang or not shutdown or restart in timely fashion.
