Mac Pro turns on and goes to desktop but won't do anything from there

Hey guys,
I've had my Mac Pro for about 3 years now (fully updated) and have owned macs for about 20 years now and have never run into this issue. Hopefully you can help. I can turn my mac on and reach the login screen. I login and reach the desktop. From there weird things start happening.
1. Safari won't load. My dock where the Safari button is goes into hiding the second I click on Safari. Nothing loads.
2. If I go to my main drive and click on the Applications folder, the window disappears and I'm back looking at my desktop.
3. If I try to open System Preferences it may come up and it may not. Depends on the time.
4. iTunes will still open and work (although all my iTunes files are on a separate harddrive).
5. If I try to Restart or Shutdown the computer won't. I have to manually shut it down by holding the power button.
6. If I mess around with trying to open things long enough (Safari, Applications Folder, etc) the entire computer will lock up. I can still move the mouse around but it won't do anything.
I have booted the computer from the Install Disc and have run Disk Repair and have even repaired permissions and still nothing fixes this issue. Does anyone have any idea on what to do?

Buy Disk Warrior.
Clone your system with SuperDuper.
Install a clean set of the system (erase and install) and full updates.
Gradaully test it out.
I would not use it as is.
Normally I would say, try a new "test" user account and see if the problem goes away (after you have a backup).
Your DVD is not 10.6.6, and Apple First Aid is not as thorough as say Disk Warrior, good start but not to do full reliable repairs.
Every hard shutdown etc just adds and corrupts the directory and file system.
You do have corrupt files, prefs and more.
I'm sure there is or ought to be some nice FAQs on system maintenance and repair for Macs.

Mac book pro, Turns off and goes under protection especially with an External monitor on.

Mac book pro,
Turns off and goes under protection, sometimes without any specific motivation, but most of the time when an External monitor is pluged-in.
I use it when I work with final cut pro, and this problem it's becoming huge and changing my workplans....
It can turns off also 10 times in two hours.
In many forums I read that the CPU temp could be the problem, but I've checked it and It's always around 62°-68°....
In some others they say that the new RAM could be the problem too.
Is anybody able to help me? (Underneath you can check the Panic Report and my mac informations)
Thank you so much.

Never mind, I found it.

2009 Mac Pro turns on and then powers off a few seconds after.

Help!!!
I have two Mac Pro's with separate issues. First Mac Pro does turn on but then cuts off by the time it gets to the Login window. I opened it up and saw that when the computer is on, there is a red light in the middle of the processor board. Is this normal? And what should i do to see what is causing this? I had 16GB RAM but i tried swapping out chips to see if maybe it was a RAM issue. Same issue even if all i put in is 2GB of RAM.
Second mac Dosent even turn on. Also a 2009 model. the red light that normally blinks once when you plug power in on the Main board, doesn't even flicker. I feel it's the power supply, but before i try swapping power supplies i thought i would see if i could get a second opinion.
Please Help
Thanks

On your first example, if the Mac detects Directory Damage such that the Boot Volume cannot be mounted, it will run the equivalent of a Disk Utility ( Repair disk ) at Startup. If that does not repair the problem, you will not be starting up, so it powers down.
On the second one, the traditional method of debugging those difficult problems is to remove everything that could be dragging down power, and hope for the Chime. Yes that means everything. If you remove all the RAM, but it is otherwise working, it will flash the power light to indicate "not enough working RAM to start up". Add back some RAM and you should get the chime. add back the graphics card and you should get the blinking question mark. Add a boot drive and... so on.

My new iPod touch 4th gen is not working only showing apple icon! Been on charge for ages! And have tried to re set it turning off coming back to icon screen then not doing anything from there! Help!

New iPod touch. Been working fine, needed charging so have charged it for ages. Only apple icon screen is appearing and nothing else! Have tried re setting still nothing! Help!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4904 I need to repair my start up disc so I have to start up from installation disc. In doing so, my computer restarts, I hear the mac sound, then a grey screen and then turns off and goes on in this cycle endlessly. Why can't I restart from disc?

I need to repair my start up disc so I have to start up from installation disc. In doing so, my computer restarts, I hear the mac sound, then a grey screen and then turns off and goes on in this cycle endlessly. Why can't I restart from disc?

Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Mac Pro Mid 2012, both running OS 10.8.5. When working in Illustrator the Display starts to make my Document trasparent and I can see the desktop through my document. I have to toggle my display res back and forth to fix it?

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and 2012 both running OS 10.8.5. Both using ATI Radeon HD 5770 1052 MB vid cards.
Using the standard Display that came with the Macs, everytime I'm working in Ilustrator CS5 or 6, the Document I am working on gets transparent, and I when I try to move a pallete or the Document itself, the pallet or doc leaves trails from where it was to where I moved it. The only way I can resolve it is to open the Display prefs, choose a lower res, then switch it back to the "Best for Display" option. This started happening on both machines after the 10.8.5 update. I have since gone through all the Pram and Board resets, even had Apple replace the Vid Card and nothing helps. Anybody have this issue. It only happens in Illustrator.

Hi Marco@JustALittle,
I really apologise for the inconvenience.
I will have someone from the senior team reach out to you shortly.
Can you please send a private message to me with your contact number and the best time to reach you.

Mac Pro RAID 5 disk goes offline frequently in a random way. What can be causing this odd behavior?

Hi dudes,
I installed recently two Mac Pro RAID cards inside their corresponding Mac Pro systems. Four 2 TB Hitachi SATA disks are contained inside each system, and configured as RAID 5. Yes, the operating system is installed on this RAID 5 volume in order to get the highest performance of the array, taking advantage of the RAID 5 protection (Autodesk Smoke runs in each system; this application works only with uncompressed video in real time). I already had tested both systems keeping separated the boot disk just for the operating system, and making the RAID 5 volume just with three 2 TB disks, but the performance was slow on both systems.
The performance is now very good, but unfortunately, in both systems happens that sometimes one of the disks goes offline with no apparent reason. The RAID Utility immediately reports the failure and it is mandatory to declare as spare the disk that went offline. Then the rebuild process begins, but in the meantime, the performance goes down in a noticeable way. Sometimes it is even worse, because the disk disappears completely. Then, it is mandatory to turn off the system, and boot it up again, in order to see in the RAID Utility the missing disk, which needs to be declared as spare in order to be reintegrated into the RAID 5 volume in a slow rebuilding process.
Some important remarks: this very new Mac Pro systems do not have the iPass cable (at least apparently; I already disassembled completely one of these systems). This cable is mentioned in one Mac RAID card manual that I found over the internet. The diagrams do not match exactly with the Mac Pro nor the Mac Pro RAID board. I did not find a proper iPass connector in any of the Mac Pro RAID cards (?!). So, my guess is that currently the communication between the system and its Mac Pro RAID card is just by means of the internal bus. I think that if the iPass connection were mandatory, the RAID Utility would report it with a noticeable error message. Please advise.
I think that these Mac Pro RAID cards need a firmware upgrade, in order to be able to work fine with big SATA drives. Again, please advise.
Thanks in advance from Mexico.
Sincerely,
Martin Ponce de Leon

Hi Grant,
Thank you for your prompt response. The manual is a PDF document issued by Apple and it seems OK, but no updated to the latest Mac Pro system and Mac Pro RAID. I do not find the link where I found this manual. The systems belong to one of our customers. As far as I remember, in the printed manual included with the boards, it is not mentioned anything about the iPass cable, just about the battery cable. Do you know where can I get a PDF manual of the latest Mac Pro RAID card and the latest Mac Pro system? This client is far from our offices. So, I would prefer a PDF copy of this manual.
The drives that have gone offline, once they are back, are reported in a good status in the RAID Utility. Besides that, I have tested them in another system in our facilites, and all of them work fine. So, my guess is that the high capacity drives are not yet supported by the Mac Pro RAID card, or it requires a firmware update.
They do need to have in the same volume OS and video storage because three disks do no provide a good performance (they need also RAID 5), but four disks work fine... excepting when one disk is missing. Please advise. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Martin

First time user trying to set up new Mac pro, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard together?

So I just bought a new Mac Pro, wireless keyboard and mouse. i am a first time Mac user. How do I even get started......connect the wireless mouse and key board to the Mac Pro desktop to even get started??

Just turn on the mouse and keyboard and observe that the green light comes on and starts to blink then turn on the Mac. The Mac should give you on-screen instructions.

ALSO on an APC (Back UPS RS-1500). Woke up yesterday to the sound of it (UPS) beeping, red light on, computer off. Happened today, same way. Checked energy saver settings.
Wasn't using it, so did not hear click.
MacPro starts ok, shuts down ok, sleeps ok.
I had it plugged into a wall socket for two weeks while I configured it. No problems. Only after plugging into to the UPS. This UPS has served well backing up a Dual G5 tower previously.
Battery shows 100%. No heavy periphs (like printers) online.
Had a multimeter in the UPS the first time around and got 122 volts in the line.
Could it be the UPS?

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
"Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?
OS 10.7.5
Mac Pro 1,1
20gb ram
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card
30" Apple Cinema HD display

after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support

Why does my Mac Pro turn completely off while in the sleep mode?

Why does my Mac Pro turn off completley overnight when I had placed it in the sleep mode?

A power fluctuation may also shut your computer off from sleep mode.
Is there anything in the System Log overnight?

Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue

Hello!
Is there FIX / Workaround to Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue ? ( +w/ ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT display adapter+ ). Its really annoying problem :-/.
Main problem is when i start my Mac, my 30" HP screen dosen't wake up, it always on suspend mode. Sometimes it wakes up on the 3rd try orso, sometimes it ruins my motivation, ideas and i give up (talk about inspiration killer). If i connect PC Laptop to that screen, sreen wakes up straight away. ATI says display adapters "drivers" are included on the OSX install. Great. Weird thing is i didn't recognize this problem at all 6-8 months ago, so i thought my system is fine. So i can't return my HP screen anymore.
My choices are to buy another 30" screen or buy different display adapter; there's two choices atm i think;
*-ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB PCI-E for Mac Pro (~200€)*
*-EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition 1GB (~500€)* (this one has seperate OSX drivers).
_Can anyone confirm if those display adapters work with HP 3065 30" screen ?._

Thanks for all information. I haven't been Mac user very long . I just want to get rid of my annoying problem. I'll do music composing mainly on my Mac Pro. So, it dosen't really matter what display card i'm using, i want to just make sure it works with HP 3065 .

I have a mac pro for work and they made it log on windows at start up. how can i switch back to Mac as well so i will use the i cloud fetures ?

Is a version of Mac OS running on this Mac? Reboot and hold down the option key.

Mac Pro turns on and goes to desktop but won't do anything from there
