Mac pro screen blank

My Mac Book Pro screen is blank when turned on. No keystroke will do anything. Screen stays white not black, cursor is on screen and can move.
What will help this? HELP!!!

YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE WHAT GRAPHIC CARD YOU USE.
Because the first suggestion is X1900, OEM 7300GT, 8800GT are all due for upgrade/replacement.
Do yourself a favor the ATI 5770 from Apple works well for us and 10.7.5.
You could also use Lion Recovery Mode / pull your hard drive and boot from a bootable clone backup (because you know about and learned to do that years ago with SuperDuper or CCC or one of the other programs).
Dust, heat, old FBDIMMs, graphic cards that literally do give up and die.

  • Mac Pro Screen Blank When Started

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 running 10.7.5.  I turned off my computer.  When I went to turn it back on all I am getting is a blank screen.  No apple logo or moving wheel.  I have a bootable hard drive, so I tried to reboot holding down the option key.  Blank screen. 
    Now what?

    My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
    I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices.  That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.
    Ciao.

    Congratulations. I think this is very hard to do.
    However, this is a forum devoted to video editing. You want one associated to the MacPro.

  • Thin purple vertical line appears on my Mac Pro screen

    A few days ago I started getting a thin purple line running vertically on my Mac Pro Screen. It comes and goes.

    It is probably a hardware fault. Make and appointment with your Apple Store to have it checked.

  • My Mac Pro screen went grey ?

    My Mac Pro screen went grey ?

    Aamirfrom,
    boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the  OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is your display still grey?

  • Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

    I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

    That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
    Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
    Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
    Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
    ¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up?   that could be a backlight failure.
    The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

  • Mac PRO Desktop blank DVD will not eject keeps freezing. "LION"

    you cannot reset or shut down the machine properly unless you hold down the power button.
    is their a Physical emergancy eject on the mac pro desktop or a way to get the diwc out?
    Yes I have tried ejecting uning terminal and disk utility will not open becouse of the DVD drive.

    If you want Apple to address your problems, the first requirement is to reproduce the problem with no third-party kernel extensions present.
    Most users find that when the eliminate the third-party kernel extensions, they eliminate the kernel panics.
    The black screens could also be caused by your graphics card beginning to go.

  • 10.5.7 Fundamental Incompatibility with Mac Pro - Screen/System Lock ups

    Hi all.
    It looks like 10.5.7 is causing a lot of problems, but I think I found a problem that is very fundamental.
    First, my system. It's one of the original Mac Pros with Quad Xeons at 2.66GHz. It has 24GB of RAM and several drives in there. I have 3 30" displays plugged into 3 NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT cards. I originally ran a 10.5.7 combo update on my 10.5.6 system, and experienced these problems (detailed below). As I was also running a beta of iTunes and the iPhone SDK (the 3rd release), and beta 2 of Safari 4, I thought this may have caused some trouble. So, I tried an experiment.
    I bought a new Corsair 256GB SSD for my startup drive. Loaded my family pack of 10.5.6 onto it as a fresh install, and just applied the 10.5.7 combo update. I get the exact same behavior with no further software. So, this is a fundamental incompatibility of 10.5.7 with a machine having these specs.
    Now the problems. They start with the primary (in my case center) screen locking while the other two screens keep working. Meaning, the primary display "works" but none of the windows move, the clock freezes...yet, if you move the mouse there and luckily grab a window, you could move it out onto the other 2 displays and it would allow you to continue to use the application. If you hit the CONTROLkey and scroll up and down (zooming the display in and out) it can sometimes "unlock" the primary display, but then there are many artifacts. For example, the shadows cast by windows appear as plain grey "dashboard esque" blocks and have black stripes at the edges. Also, at random times, the machine just seems to hang completely, and unlock a minute or 2 later. Eventually it locks for good.
    Unfortunately this has lead me into a deadlock situation. My iTunes has been updated to the 3rd beta in the iPhone 3.0 SDK release. The library has been modified and only works with that version now. That version requires 10.5.7. So if I revert back to 10.5.6, I lose my iTunes Library or have to wait till the offical version of iTunes is realeased (although that may still require 10.5.7).
    I see lots of people are having Firewire (800 in particular) problems, and I have several drives I need on Firewire. It's not a solution to yank them. It all works fine under 10.5.6, of course.
    So the question is...is help on it's way? What to do!?
    Thanks for any insights.

    I can only tell you that I've run 10.5.7 on my Mac Pro, same model as yours, without any problems. As a beta tester my Mac Pro was the main hardware on which 10.5.7 was tested. I currently have it installed on a first generation iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro as well as a second generation MacBook Pro. So far not a single problem.
    But, I don't have multiple video cards nor do I use any beta version of iTunes (didn't know there was one since each system upgrade includes the current release) but I do use the Safari 4 Beta - the most recent version just released when 10.5.7 was released.)
    I can suggest you read the following about updates of system software:
    Essential Steps Before Updating OS X!
    Please do things right before updating OS X in order to avoid problems.
    A. Repair Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means your backup drive (should be erased first.)
    Source means your startup drive or volume.
    C. Download the Standalone Combo Updater from Apple.
    Be sure you quit all running applications and disconnect all peripherals (except original keyboard and mouse) before running the installer. When the installer is running do not use the computer in any way other than to respond to an installer dialog.
    Install the update by double-clicking on the installer package icon. When the installation is completed Restart the computer. Your computer will boot twice - this is normal. Upon completion of the update use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Not all permissions will seem repaired. You will get spurious reports regarding permissions related to iTunes, Front Row. These can be ignored. They will appear every time you repair permissions.
    Following these basic steps should prevent most if not all updating problems. Note that if you have unrepairable disk problems reported in Step A then DO NOT update your system until those problems are resolved.
    If you find that you did not follow these suggestions, then you might consider reinstalling OS X and going about the process properly in the hope of a successful result:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Mac Pro screen issue

    Hi all,
    my mac pro shows the apple logo at start up and the users available.
    Then, either the screen goes crazy with lots of moving thin grey lines or I get to
    login in under my account and then the finder has lots of artifacting on the screen
    - black blocks in the finder window or parts of top bar displays overlapping text. I've
    had some odd black triangle across some of the finder windows too.
    If I log in to the guest user (safari only mode) the screen is fine.
    Is this a graphics card issue or something else?
    p.s. I have tried installing 10.8 but alas, my mac is just one model out from being suported.
    Cheers,

    The 7300 as I said could be on its last legs also.
    10.6.3 DVD is your best bet probably.
    And it isn't that hard to setup and install and be back up and running.
    But I would invest in a ATI 5770 regardless, you have 6 yr old system
    ATI Radeon 5770 or Nvidia 8800GT

  • Mac Pro screen will sleep but not the HD!?  ..could it be 10.5.6..?

    Hello Wonderful People..
    I've have recently discovered that my Mac Pro will sleep but only the screen,not the HD!? If I'm correct, this might have only started since updating to 10.5.6, but I'm not entirely sure!
    Any ideas..?

    ..can't find a way to delete this post! All magically is ok again..?

  • Mac pro screen

    hi im a macbook pro user... in future im planning to go for a mac pro, a great big question. the monitors are not cheap, is there any way that for some time i connect the mac pro to the macbook monitor you know... in the time i get the money for the screen? or how can i solve this?

    You can't directly attach an Apple portable (Macbook/Powerbook, etc) screen to a desktop, since there's no "video in" port on the laptop.
    There's a kind-of workaround if you already have a single monitor attached, and want to use your laptop screen as a second one, in the form of ScreenRecycler. You can't set it as the only monitor, though (because you need to be able to see the connection from the desktop to set it up).
    I'd second TheDov's advice - both Dell and Apple LCDs of at least 23" size are very, very nice. I got my Apple 23" as a refurb model - check Apple's refurb site for good deals (they still have 23" screens for $750).
    If your budget's not quite there yet, you might also want to find a cheap CRT VGA monitor - the Mac Pro comes with a DVI to VGA adaptor.
    Don't forget that once you get a good DVI monitor, you can use it as a second screen for both your Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.

  • My Mac Pro screen is completely black when I turned it on

    My Mac Pro turns on but nothing shows on the screen. The screen is completely dark. Is it because I need a new battery for my MacBook Pro? My MacBook Pro is three to four years old and I never change the battery on it. Could some help me out!!!!

    The Analog VGA signal is generated by the graphics card, directly into the pins at the end of the DVI-I port on the computer. All the adapter does is shuffle the signals to get them onto the correct pins on the DB-15 (three-row) connector.
    So as long as all the connections are good and no pins are bent, the display card itself (or possibly the display) is the most likely failure.
    The Apple-firmware 5770 is a good replacement card for ALL models of Mac Pro. Accelerated operation requires 10.6.5 or later, so you would need to upgrade your Mac OS X version.
    The other question is, how attached are you to that old VGA monitor? Are you sure it is still working correctly? How about a new digital display with better picture quality and higher resolution??
