Mac pro shuts down 5 seconds after first time starting up

my new mac pro won`t start up properly, I push the start button, the start up image appears on my display and 5 seconds later the computer shuts down without any visible reason or notification. It`s a Mac Pro bought in the US and I`m trying to use it in Europe...
I`ll appreciate any advice you can give me!

Try a SMC reset.

  • My mac book pro shuts down just after it is started

    My MacBook Pro shuts down straight after it has been started. A bar appears at the bottom of the screen that I've never seen before! A tiny part of it is filled, it disappears and the machine shuts down.

    My suggestion is to work through the options here -> If your Mac won't turn on - Apple Support

  • Mac Pro Shuts down

    Hi.
    My Mac pro shuts down unexpectedly after about three days. And I don't know why. It never happens when I'm working with the computer. In pref it is set to never shut down or rest and to turn on automatically after power failure. But this dosen't seem to work either.
    I made a dump from system log or what it is called in english. Maybe someone smart can figure out what seems to be the problem by reading the things happening before the shut down?
    I have a FTP server on the mac so I would like it to be up and running all the time.
    OS is 10.9.5
    regards

    new log if anyone have any ideas what seems to be the problem.

  • 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?

  • Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

    I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
    I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
    Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
    As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
    Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
    What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

    For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
    And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • My brand new Mac Pro shuts down for no reason

    My two week old Mac Pro shut downs for no pparent reason. Using the wireless, not plug in to an outlet but battery fully charged. Both times happen within 15hrs. apart.

    Take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

  • My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still have 50 minutes life.

    My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still has 52 minutes life without any warning. Does anyone have this problem? BTW, it is less than one year old.

    You must have a MacBookPro, right? MacPro's are big desktop models.
    Try the MacBookPro battery forum or their Usage forum.

  • My Mac Pro shuts down prematurely.  Seems the battery drains almost instantaneously, once it hits about 50% or less.

    My Mac Book Pro shuts down prematurely, seemingly doing a rapid battery drain when it reaches < 45%.  I can only work, while on battery for approximately 15 minutes even when starting out fully charged.  Although, a full charge now only reached 95% - 97%.  Can't recall if it ever reached 100.  Looks like the battery has about 240 cycles on it.  I thought at first it was over heating, but now not so sure.  Heat may be normal levels.  Does this mean it is time for a new battery?

    Apple menu > About this Mac > more information
    scroll down to Power and click
    look for Battery Health Information, Cycle count and condition.

  • My mac pro shut down without any reason!

    I have a Mac Pro 8 core XEON with OSX LION, 22gb Ram, Ati 1gb to conect an Apple Led Cinema 27" anda Apple HD Cinema 23", two hard drives 1tb and 350gb, 2 external hard drives 500 gb, and 1tb.

    i think maybe is the operating system! i don´t know! theres not reason for over-heating...
    Mac pro's are "dust magnets" and suck it in all the time it's on.  Open you mac pro (you won't harm it) and drag you finger across some of the bear metal parts.  Can you write "wash me" on it like a dirty car?   Probably can. 
    This same dust gets on (an in) everything inside.  All the air intakes and exhausts and components.  The video card has the same problem.   The dust builds up on all these components so they don't dissipate the heat as efficiently and end up running hotter and hotter as more dust builds up.
    This was the reason my first suggestion was blow out the dust (and if there's enough dust do it outside so you don't breath it in yourself).
    As mentioned above you should install a temperature monitoring utility like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Hardware Monitor, etc.  Then you can monitor many of these temps yourself.

  • New Mac Pro shuts down when I put it to sleep?

    I go to click my mouse of keyboard and nothing happens. I click the power button the back lights up and turns on as if it were off, what gives? This is brand new 64gb ram, 12 core, didn't even do a migration so it's all new stuff on here.

    Hello Chief Sneed,
    It sounds like your computer is going to sleep but when you later go to wake it up it will not turn on unless you press the power button and it looks to have shutdown at some point. I recommend checking to see if the computer is scheduled to shutdown at a certain time with the following article:
    OS X Mavericks: Schedule your Mac to shut down or go to sleep automatically
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13914
    Schedule your Mac to turn on, turn off, go to sleep, or wake from sleep at specified times. You might do this if you want to be sure your Mac turns off when you aren’t working and turns on before you come to work.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver.
    Click Schedule, then select the options you want to use.
    To schedule a startup or wake time for your Mac, select the “Start up or wake” checkbox. Choose a day or group of days from the pop-up menu, then enter a time.
    To schedule a shutdown, sleep, or restart time for your Mac, select the bottom checkbox and choose the appropriate option from the pop-up menu. Choose a day or group of days from the pop-up menu, then enter a time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Why mac pro shuts down when idle, even when charging ipad?

    why mac pro shuts off when idle, even while charging ipad?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My Mac Pro Shuts down during sleep

    Well I have a variation on what others are experiencing with their machine.
    1- I put the mac to sleep. Or it goes to sleep when i's supposed to.
    2- I let it sleep at least a few minutes…
    3- when I press the space bar, the following happens:
    - the mac responds immediately (see below)
    - the fans kick in just as when you start it from shut down with power button
    - the startup screen appears and everything after this point is the same as a cold boot.
    I'm puzzled, but this is more an info message than a call for help.
    My setup:
    2.8 GHz 8 core Jan 2008 mac pro.
    4x2 GB RAM from OWC (667 Mhz)
    2x1 GB RAM (factory) reseated to follow the RAM arrangements guideline.
    8800 GT video Card.
    4x 750 GB Seagate drives. formatted as two RAID 0 pairs. One of the two holds the OS and apps.
    The only other thing present is the OWC/Newertech S-ATA adapter that essentially brings the 2 unused SATA ports to the back of the compouter. Nothing is plugged to this for now.
    Software:
    OS 10.5.2 ans all updates applied.
    for the moment the only non-apple app installed is the temperature monitor suite.
    Hope this tells something to others. Will send this info as "feedback" to apple.

    Ok so my g5 died...still complaining. Should have had apple replace it while still under apple care.
    Had to buy an intel mac which has limited compatibility but is fast, durable.... i doubt it. I was sold on the g4s before i switched to apple. Never owned one bought a g5 to switch from pc for audio recording. Durability was my goal, didn't think i would ever need mac pro.
    Mac pro reboots after it has been asleep. This is not a ram error. It is a design flaw. Their are many things that cause sleep issues which seem to be very complicated. This problem is sold with your mac.
    The first thing i did before i even opened the box was read apple discussions on this issue and other bug reports. There are lots of reports on this particular issue as i was familiar with it the first time it happened to me which was maybe the second time i put the computer to sleep. To be honest why there hasn't been an immediate bug fix is disheartening. All i got to say is typical. I think i will be having some very stern words with apple tomorrow. Over all dissappointment in all departments regarding apple- durability, compatibility, backwards compatibility, customer support, and their inability to stand behind their flagship machines. I guess they're just a second rate circuit city brand. This is not only a rant.
