Mac Pro shoot down after few seconds

Hallo, mein Mac Pro 2008 hatte ein ähnliches Problem schon mal während seiner Garantiezeit. Wurde von Gravis repariert. Leider hat mich damals nicht interssiert was es war.
Nach dem Start schaltet er nach wenigen Sekunden aus. Manchmal läuft er auch länger, bevor der Bildschirm schwarz wird und das Gerät in den Ruhezustand übergeht. Es liegt nicht an den Systemeinstellungen, die Energiespareinstellung sind auf eine Stunde eingestellt. Die Garatiezeit ist abgelaufen und eine teure Reparatur ist momentan weit außerhalb meiner Möglichkeiten.
Wie kann ich feststellen woran es liegt? Gibt es irgendwelche Lämpchen, die mir anzeigen welche Fehlfunktionen laufen? Womit es zusammenhängen kann. Die PSU habe ich heute ausgetauscht, (aus USA heute angekommen, soll neu sein, hatte auch keine Gebrauchspuren was bei über 300 € eigentlich auch zu erwarten war), also an der PSU lags nicht. Woran kann es liegen? Wie erkenne ich: ist es die Hauptplatine, sind es die Heatsinks oder die Northbridge, was wird die Funktion bald völlig einstellen? Oder was auch immer es sein mag.
Bitte teilt mir das Geheimnis mit, wenn ihr es kennt.
Mit besten Grüßen Bernhard

On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up.

Hi there. On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up. The time bar comes on for a while before it simply goes blank and switches off without any notification. Battery iappears charged. Could it be a virus? Help please!! O

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts on that?
One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

Mac Pro shuts down after setting up RAID (HELP!)

So, I recently purchased a rev 1 Mac Pro and decided to setup a RAID using 4 750gb WD drives. I am not using a RAID card, simply using Disk Utility.
I first combined drives in bays 1 and 2 (striped) and then combined drives in bays 3 and 4 (striped) to give me essentially two 1.5tb drives.
I then created a mirrored RAID using the two striped raids so that I would have the speed of a striped RAID with the safety of a mirrored RAID.
Once I did this, it showed up as one hard disk on my desktop (I was booting with an external). I then cloned my external drive to the new RAID disk on the desktop, and did so successfully.
However, now when I try to boot from the RAID, it chimes, the Apple appears, and then the Mac Pro shuts down. I tried holding down option and all 4 drives appear. I tried booting from a different drive, and the same thing happens. I should also note that the firmware bar flashes on the screen before shutting down (looks like a really long pill).
Any ideas? Does it sound like I did something wrong? I hate to start from scratch, as it takes all night to clone my external drive to the Mac Pro. Thanks for any help.

Hello, Hatter. Thanks so much for the information. I went with the information from the Macworld article (I believe) "RAIDing the Mac Pro" and according to it this setup was supposedly a great idea. But, yes, it's not working out so perhaps not in this case.
So, I have four brand new 750gb Caviar Black drives installed. If I understand you correctly, I should stripe 3 disks together, then use a 4th as backup (using Time Machine?). So, if I use the drives I have, I'll have a striped configuration that gives me 2.25TB of space, and a 750gb hard drive for backup. That technically would work for now, as I have about 660gb of data on the system (although in the future I'd need to swap out that 4th drive for a 2TB.
So, if that is what you're suggesting, would you mind telling me exactly how I do that? I think I understand, but just want to make sure as this is my first Mac Pro and first time setting up a RAID. Thank you so much for your response.
p.s.: I'm guessing I'll need to do a fresh start and clone my external drive all over again, correct?

Pavilion 23 bw shuts down after few second after my pc booting.

So I just bought two Pavillion 23 bw to dual screen. When I try to boot up my pc with only one connected the screen shows a sign of life by showing me the windows loading screen but after few seconds, fall into sleep mode and dont want to recognize the pc anymore. I tryed multiple times, no succes. The drivers have been installed and the DVI cable and port is the same I used for my previous screen. The port in question is from my graphic card which is a Radeon 280x.
Can you help me please!

Mac pro slows down after RAM uppgrade ASP (its my workstation)

I have an mac pro (first 8core released back in 2007) and i uppgraded it from 4 to 8 gig of ram. After the upgrade it became slower so I installed snow leopard since it should handle ram and multicores better but that didnt help. Its like it go from sleepy to extreme slow. Like an photoshop image that should take 12 seconds to load took 10min!! So its somethin fishy.

Does 2007 have 4 memory chips as ideal as 2006 had? Can the macstore give me bad compatible rams (i asked for orginal mac ram memmorys). If this could make it go slow. Mabe snow leapord helped out to slow it down but I worked one and half day before I uppgraded to snow leopard and it was already slow.
This is on my worskstation so its Asp. Is there any heros here?
(ok I will test to take out the ram and se if everything goes back to normal but still I would like to get it to work)
Cheers
Joel

"need" is something that is "recommended" for symmetrical memory performance.
It shouldn't run any different really.
I always recommend this:
try with just the new RAM
put highest density in A1:A2
It is symmetrical, sort of, as 4x1GB in slots 1:2 on both Risers.
My take: doesn't play nice or get along with original 4GB; marginal; and ideal is 4 x 2GB; second best 8 x 1GB. 6 DIMMs is the worst configuration AFTER not having enough.
I'd wipe out your swap files; clone your drive - if you haven't done so in six months you should, also if moving to a new OS, DEFINITELY either
Clean install on new/2nd drive (great excuse for new fast drive);
Clone and then upgrade (worst scenerio)
Clean install followed by running Migration Assistant for everything except applications.
Don't want to have issues with new OS, new drivers, AND new hardware (even RAM) and a new OS isn't going to fix a problem, just add new ones. And TEST a new OS before you commit yourself (reason for backups and clones and the like).
Also, run Disk Warrior on fresh clone before you use it.
What you do, why, you probably did need more RAM, 4GB is pretty basic and not even enough for pro apps like graphic editing.
Watch RAM temps and run AHT Extended Loop briefly.
I'd watch for bad blocks and disk sectors; re-initialize drives, even install some new ones: WD 10K V-Raptor for system and another for scratch; Samsung 1TB F3 for data.... something like that if it has been 2+ yrs.

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!

The first generation mac pro shuts down after start up suddenly

I have had mac pro since 2006 and have used it so many times without any problems starting up/booting successfully. Recently it was not booting well and i done pram clearance and worked for a while. Once after going into the desktop the screen just froze and i could hear a repeatitive clicking sound from the computer. I was able to shut down and did not use the computer for some time. i have tried to switch it on today and it goes through the normal dong sound and apple logo appears plus a grey bar underneath which fills to a bit and then there is a change in sound in the computer as if something coming to off and then there is the same repeated sound of faint clicking and the computer shuts down. can please anyone help me how to sort the problem out?

how do i carry this operation out?
Your machine info has changed from 10.6 to 10.3. No MBP ever shipped with 10.3, so I'm including directions for 10.6:
Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
how do i open up the disk drive?
Not sure what you mean by this.

Macbook Pro shuts off after few seconds of gray screen

Help - I came home to discover my power cord had died and my laptop turned off due to no power. I used a friend's power cord to turn it on later that night and send some emails. I bought a new power cord the next day, plugged in, and turned the laptop on. It stayed on the gray screen with a spinning wheel beneath the apple logo for a while. I restarted it and it turned off after a few seconds of the gray screen. An empty bar flashes twice horizontally at the bottom before the spinning bar begins.
I tried booting in safe mode, but it would just stay on the gray screen. I tried doing shift+command+v and received a message about keys out of order and disk error full, can't repair. I was able to boot from the install disc, and when I click "Repair Disc" I get the same erros. Not sure what to do now?

Would my time machine data be preserved with this?
Well this is the big gamble. You really don't know for sure.
TimeMachine has gotten corrupted from a failing original drive and then unable to restore properly to a new drive.
It's not like you can access the files on a TM drive directly and cherry pick what you need and leave the rest. It's all or nothing.
If you go erasing your only other copy on the boot drive, which the files still could be accessed from another boot drive, and if you find out the TimeMachine drive can't restore, then your up the creek without a paddle right?
So if your able, create a data recovery drive and try to rescue your second copy of the files on the boot drive or restore the TM drive to the second boot drive , so this way your files can be accessed directly if you need it and you have two copies again.
Once you can direclty access your files then you can go about erasing and installing on the internal boot drive.

Mac Pro Shuts Down After Boot.

Hey guys I have a 2008 Mac Pro. I went to turn it on today and It started like normal up to the Apple logo screen then shuts off. I've looked around on here for a while and cannot find any posts that have the same problem that I am having. Any ideas????

Have you done any maintance on your mac pro lately?
It might be clogged with dust and Cooling compound is likely dry as old bubbelgum.
Try to check your internals of the mac if its clean, disassemble the heatsinks, both on northbridge, CPU and, GPU. Also remove the PSU cage to look for dust at/inside the PSU, if so disassemble the PSU and get it clean. Don't just stick a vacuum cleaner at the back.
check this guide how to disassemble the CPU heatsinks

If it don't help, call apple support or go to your nearest Apple store for repair service.

All apps just shut downs after few seconds/minutes. I have reset Ipad but did not help. What next?

- Have an Ipad 2 with IOS 5(01?) installed.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't help - try downloading another app - any free app will work. See if that helps.

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck
