Mac Pro Video problems...

Recently bought a used Mac Pro 2006 on ebay and I've been using it for a couple days and the display starts going black for a few seconds then coming back on. Also noticing some lines in the screen like video distortion. It occurs in Windows & and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I think it was doing it in Lion too which I also have installed.  I hope its the stock Nvidia 7300 GT graphics card failing and not the logic board. I'd hate to send it back as i'm sure the shipping will be steep. I borrowed another card to see if that is the problem.  And bought a ATI 5770 as i planned on upgrading anyway.

That sounds like a graphics card probelm. Try installing the Apple 5770 and see if it all goes away. It should.
NB. the 5770 has a six-pin cable that must be connected internally for more power to the card.

  • Mac pro video questions

    I'm thinking about getting one or more of the mac pro videos to supplement the logic manual in my attempt to get a better grasp of the program and its capabilities and am looking for some advice. Although I'm partially temped to just buy the whole bundle, adding $200 to the amount I'm spending on music gear in the next couple months (I'll be buying monitors and a firewire interface) is probably not a good idea, and there are some videos that I don't expect I'd use at all (at least not any time soon). Addionally, I am aware that a great deal can be learned through experimentation, but that a good course or reference guide will provide a much faster learning process for me, and teach me things I won't figure out on my own.
    Basically, I'm trying to decide whether to simply get the 101 video or the producer's bundle. Here's a basic overview of what I've used Logic for so far, and what I expect to do in the near future:
    -primarliy small projects--only a few minutes in length, no more than 12 tracks
    -exclusively Logic's plugin instruments and effects thus far, but intend to start using some live audio as well (though VIs will still make up the majority of the music)
    -I've started to work on a couple short student film projects, and plan to do more in the future--for right now, I'm content with scoring for smaller instrumentation while still developing compositional skills.
    My big question is about use of the environment and whether or not I should get the corresponding video. I know that this is an extremely useful tool, and yet with what I've been doing so far, I haven't needed to deal with it. Perhaps I'm missing things that I could be doing using it for, but so far I've found that everything I've needed can be found in the audio mixer. I'm sure that somewhere down the road I'll want to be familiar with the environment's functions, but I'm not certain that I need it now with my current setup. If someone could clarify some of the environments uses that would be beneficial to my current needs, that would be super. This may determine whether or not I go for the producer's bundle.
    I know the obvious answer is most likely "the bundles are worth the added expense," and would certainly agree, but I'm going into poor/in debt student mode soon, so I need to be careful. Thanks.

    I guess the main issue here is whether I should get them all now or get them gradually. Obviously, the general feeling here is that I should just go for it, and given the money I'd save all around by getting the main bundle, it makes sense. However, I feel that, for the projects I've been working on until now and will have in the near future, there are videos I could do without. And given my financial situation (aka I work at a video store and will soon have massive student debt), it might be best to wait on those.
    So I'm wondering how essential certain elements are to general versatility in using Logic, so I can decide whether or not I need them right away. For example, I'm planning on using the native instruments bundle for samples, so I'm not sure that I really need the EXS tutorial. And I've just realized that I do actually use the environment all the time, I just forgot that the audio mixer is technically part of it--so that tutorial would probably be very useful.
    Hypothetically, if I were to choose 1 or 2 tutorials (in addition to 101) to buy, and given the general overview of how I've been using Logic, which ones should they be?

  • Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

    Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

    http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
    Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

  • Mac Pro video card in a PM G5 dual 2.0?????

    Will the stock Mac Pro video card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, work in a PowerMac G5 Duallie 2.0 (mid 2004 model) with the pci-x slots? Thankx! And would a Cube G4 Rage 128 video card work in thePM G5? (I bought a G5 without a video card and I need to test it and find a cheap video card for it). Thx again!

    No. It is PCI Express card anyway.

  • Firefox cannot play tutorials at Mac Pro Video, but Safari can

    For 3 months I could watch tutorials at Mac Pro Video in Firefox, but now they do not play, they just briefly flash on then go to a blank white screen. When I switch to Safari the videos do play normally.
    My Firefox plugin check gives erroneous versions for Shockwave Director and Java Applet. I updated both but the plugin check says I still have the older version

    I wasn't going to use it anymore until I got a new one, but I need to get video editing done in the meantime, so I have been keeping the card cool and only working on the computer for short amounts of time.  Is this smart to do?
    Smart or not isn't the question, it's a matter of need.
    Prolonged or repeated overheating will kill the card.
    Also why would the video card fan break like that?
    Abuse, a freak accident, bad plastic, etc.
    What model card is it? Some cards have a history for specific ills, like the Radeon X1900, Geforce 7300 GT, Radeon 2600, Geforce 8800........
    And finally could you suggest another video card to purchase.

  • Mac Pro Fan Problem

    Hi, I have been having some problems with a Mac Pro I have been working with. At the Start-up the Fan goes to top speed and once it logs-in the fan is still pretty loud. I've checking the Temperature of all the computer parts via a Temperature Diode, and its normal and not high. After searching the internet for hours looking for posts that were for the Mac Pro and not for the MacBook Pro (which comes up in about all the searches using the words Mac Pro Fan Problem) and I found some software all of which is not for Mac Pro's. Is there any application I can run do reduce the RPM of the Fans, Reset the Fan Speeds to only turn on when it get hot, or something along those lines.

    Thats odd, seeing as Apple have it listed in the Support article:
    To reset the SMC on a Mac Pro:
    1) From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    2) Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    3) Wait at least fifteen seconds.
    4) Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    5) Press the power button to start up your computer.
    It does exactly the same thing as the SMC_RST button, simply by removing all power from the system. I would assume the reason for this would be that the SMC settings are stored in RAM, which is erased once the power is removed from the board, hence the minimum 15 secs wait which gives time for the capacitors in the power supply and system to discharge.
    So yeah, it does do the trick, or has done for me in the past a few times.

  • Problem with Mac Pro Video Playback Stutter

    I just purchased a new Mac Pro (2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 6GB of Memory) and I'm having an issue with video playback. Whenever I play videos (in Quicktime, online, or in iTunes) the video will freeze briefly every few seconds, causing an annoying stutter that drives me crazy. Sometimes if I restart the computer the video will play normally, but not always. It is quite frustrating for me to have this issue, because I do a lot of video work and would also like to use the machine for watching movies on the Cinema Display I got with it.
    Does anyone have any idea what might cause a problem like this? I got the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 card with 512 MB of VRAM. Thanks in advance for any help.

    .... will be interesting to see if improved drives help close the gap but 20% (most of the time, drivers will show 5-10% at best in a single jump, in some apps).
    Having looked at and used alternatives, helps gives me some perspective. I use to assume or think QuickTime was or must be "it" but there are other apps that can play back video with more finesse, more user control. Maybe why QuickTimeX is getting some buzz.
    People will build PCs to run 3 x 285s in SLI and try to achieve 175 fps, output to HDTV or something for full 'immersion' field effect.

  • Mac Pro boot problem-Get "I have no name!" error message after possible KP

    I think I'm having a kernel panic... and trying to keep from doing so myself
    3GHz Mac Pro/4GB RAM, 250GB boot drive and three 400GB drives as a RAID for video captures.
    I'm still in the process of getting the machine set up with software.
    Demo machine from an Apple Authorized VAR that has been running in his office for several weeks. Had installed Final Cut Studio Monday, allowed Software Update to update the Apple software, including the OS.
    Edited quite happily with FCP on a multiclip project... and did other things over the last several days.
    Had no problems until a couple of hours ago after adding a number of fonts... which may turn out to be part of the problem... or not.
    Rebooted the machine, and after what seemed like a VERRRRRRY long time of gray screen with spinning gear icon, the screen goes black with a cursor in the upper left corner.
    About :30 later, text appears: "3Ghz-MacPro:/ I have no name!#" followed maybe ten seconds later by "SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en0 error17" and "SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en1 error17"
    Screen clears back to cursor... then "3Ghz-MacPro:/ I have no name!#" reappears... and eventually the cycle starts again.
    I would infer that en0 and en1 are the two ethernet ports.
    I've popped the install disc in, booted to it (which took a while to do) and used Disk Utility to verify the disk. No problems found. Repaired it anyway.
    Verified permissions, which found a couple of issues in the library with some files not essential to booting. Repaired those. Rebooted.
    Same cycle as above with "no name."
    Ran Apple Hardware test (the quick one) and it found no hardware problems.
    Am waiting to see whether the AppleCare TechTool Deluxe will boot. Spinning gear continues as I write this (7-8 minutes??)... now wondering whether it's 10.4.x for Intel Macs as it spins.
    After waiting a while... decided to go back to the install disk and see whether I can install 10.4.7 to a handy FireWire drive and boot from that...
    then remove (or turn off with FontBook) all the fonts I just installed and see whether it'll boot from the internal.
    More later. Am watching e-mail on another machine so feel free to offer suggestions.
    Thanks
    Ted.
    3GHz Mac Pro-1GHz eMac-G3 400MHz Lombard   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I installed 10.4.7 onto the RAID so I could see whether it would boot OK, and to swap font folders out so that only the OS installed ones (from the RAID install) were present on the boot's original install.
    Booted from the RAID just fine... and was able to do the font folder swap in the main font and user font folders.
    Trying to then boot from the boot disk didn't make a difference. Same kernel panic with the text as described before.
    Did an "archive and install" onto the boot disk and it came up fine on the fresh OS.
    Updated QT and then the OS to 10.4.8 using Software Update (which I understand from the Apple info site is the "delta" version. Combo is also available, and it updates any 10.4.x version to 10.4.8)
    Moved over some items in various library folders from the previous system to make the ProApps happy (only Motion's not working) and will get a project out the door today.
    Will ultimately wipe the drive and go from scratch on the OS and Apps again.
    Looking forward to half a day of intimacy with my Mac Pro and software disks this weekend.
    Thanks.
    Would still like to know what happened under the hood to cause the problem in the first place... so I can avoid doing anything I might have done to cause the problem... or to avoid other snafus.
    Ted

  • Mac Pro Burn Problems

    Hello,
    I have the Mac Pro 1.1 Version. This is the second MacPro I have gotten because The ATI Raedon X1900XT Keeps overheating and shutting the computer down at 120C. When I called Apple the "THIRD" time to get a replacement I asked them to send me the Nvidia 8800GT instead because of the problems I have been having. Funny story they sent me three of them instead of one..lol.. I sent those back BTW.
    The problem is when I replaced the old card there was an burn image in my metal that replicated the back of the old video card. You can actually see where the processor, resistors, and everything, that burnt into the metal.
    I am getting blue tooth installed at the Apple store because when they sent my second system they forgot to install it..lol.. Can you please help me with my options because of this burn issue? I will have them take a look at it, but I am afraid that they will say the computer is fine, and there is nothing we can do.
    The problem is I want to sell this one and get the new on coming out, and don't want someone to think there is something I am not telling them, and even if I take screen shots of this to show buyers, it will devalue the final system selling price.
    Thanks for your time, and sorry for the long post
    Bobby

    okay, all I can give you is my experience (bear in mind that I'm not an expert, nor do I work for Apple in any ways). You can clean the lens by possibly getting a can of compressed air and using that, maybe trying one of those dvd cleaning discs with the brushes on them. You may have to shut down your Mac Pro 5,1 let it cool down a bit, remove the side panel, then take out and disconnect the dvd drive, take it out,  open it up and clean the lens with lens cleaning fluid (for eyeglasses, perhaps-this is just a suggestion, I've done it once and it hasn't done any harm) then put it back together,  put the drive back in the sled, reconnect it, slide the sled back in, put the side panel back and restart your mac pro. if you have an air compressor, maybe compressed air from a tank, with a blowing tool (the one with the button on the top) might work, if you were gentle, I suppose. Hopefully something fixes your problem, daliah, if not maybe try repairing permissions in disk utility, if nothing works, try posting here again, and you're still having problems reading dvd's, could be the media, could be the drive needs replacing (but who knows?)  replacing a dvd drive, should you need to, is very easy.  In a pinch, you can use a dvd drive scavenged from a PC, as long as it is ATAPI/IDE  and as long as it works
    well, good luck to you

  • Apple Mac Pro Export Problems!

    I have a the new Mac Pro with 6 core 3,5Ghz 64GB and AMD Fire pro 2x 3072MB GPU 256gb ssd and im trying to export a movie in MP4.
    Export time is 10 hours?!??!  Movie size is 48gb
    My movie is: AVHCD, Length 4 hour, Res: 1920x1080 44khz,
    -What i do is... Files -> Shares -> Master Files -> Format Computer -> Video Codes -> H264 Fast Encode -> Res: 1920x1080 And Next. Save.
    When i export the SAME movie on a Macbook Pro Retina 2,3 Ghz i7 16GB 500gb sad, Nvidia Geforce GT750 2048MB  it takes 40min. ???
    I have update all my software. And i dont know what the problem is??

    I don't have the new MP so afraid I can't give any informed feedback. Ten hours does seem long… while 40 minutes for an H.264 encode of a 4 hour movie is far faster than I would have expected. Perhaps someone who has your model – or something similar – will weigh in.
    Here is an article that compares the MP with an iMac. The differences in export speed with different settings are pretty dramatic.

  • Mac Pro memory problems, or...?

    I've been experiencing intermittent "goofy behavior":
    1. fine horizontal black line across a window, today I had one half across the menu bar.
    2. hangs -- i.e., will not respond to any keypress, mouse click, etc.
    3. in the course of working through the usual list of troubleshooting steps I discovered that my Mac Pro does not recognize any of the startup keys http://option, cmd-opt-PR, shift, cmd-S, ...
    - I have substituted an older Mac keyboard for the aluminum keyboard - still no startup keys
    4. I've done the usual preferences, disk maintenance, etc.;
    5. I can't run Hardware Test due to non-functioning startup keys [need D key for h/w test]
    6. When the CPU wouldn't wake from sleep I got the below post-restart report.
    7. I've run memtest two full nights, no errors detected.
    8. I've removed the 2GB of OWC extra memory, running with Apple stock 1GB to see...
    Any suggestions that may accelerate isolation would be much appreciated. Restart report follows:

    B-2 OWC 2GB
    I ran for a while with OWC removed -- still saw artifacts, though possibly less frequent.
    After fixing the startup key problem I was able to run the Hardware Test extended test this AM. Which reported no errors.
    I then swapped OWC and Apple -- ran for several hours with no artifacts, then "screen rash" reoccurred followed very shortly by a hang [no mouse nor keyboard input], hard restart.
    I've run the digLloyd run-stress-test to heat up RAM, then Rember/memtest -- no errors.
    Does anyone know definitely whether RAM Riser A or B is used first?
    Other suggestions?

  • Mac Pro startup problems

    I've been having intermittent startup/sleep problems. One of two things happens...I put it to sleep and then when I come back later and tap the keyboard or touch the mouse, I hear it starting up, but the screen doesn't come on. To resolve this, I could usually sleep it with the power button and then try waking it again. Or I just force a restart by holding the power button down...of course losing whatever I hadn't saved.
    The other thing that has been happening more frequently is that when I try to force a restart by holding the power button down, the cinema display doesn't turn on.
    Apple wants me to disconnect all my peripherals and add them one at a time. I have a bunch of peripherals, and since this is an intermittent problem, I think it'll be difficult to diagnose. As well, i'm a quadriplegic and have no use of my hands, making plugging and unplugging a difficult task. My keyboard is plugged in to my monitor, which is plugged in to a surge protector. As a possible solution, I flipped off the surge, pushed in the power button til right before hearing the chime, the flipped on the surge before the chime and the monitor turns on. Sometimes. And sometimes when it does turn on, my Mac boots with the Boot Camp partition...even though I have chosen it to start with Leopard.
    I've had on-site service and they changed out the logic board and video card.
    This is frustrating. I can't bring it in or send it in because I would think I would need to include all the peripherals to replicate the problem at home.
    Oh...it also seems if I just let it "sit there" for a long period of time, I can eventually boot it fine. Lately, this superstition hasn't worked.
    I've found a lot of the Discussions with similar boot/sleep problems with the Mac Pro, but none have helped me.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This has been an ongoing issue since Panther. It is old as the hills and what it is isn't as easy to remedy as it sounds. There is an issue where, when the machine goes to sleep, the PCI bus shuts off and, upon awaking it doesn't power the video card bus up so, there's no display. There used to be mod to allow the PPC machines to keep the card active and one would go into Terminal and write it in and reset it in such a way to get it to work. However, in the Intel machines, I don't know what that is. IF there's other PCI cards running on that machine that does not support sleep, that same end result will happen. I got so fed up with patching it only to run a hi end audio card in there that did not support sleep and it went right back to a black screen. Best thing to do is to not to use sleep at all. I set it to never.
    Oh, one more thing; there was an issue with some power supplies for the monitors. By simply unplugging it and reconnecting it, the monitor would fire up. I had that happen too with my Apple monitor. The thing was, it just never worked consistent from Panther as I recall.

  • MacBook projects on Mac Pro: redraw problems in timeline

    Hi all,
    my main workstation for Premiere Pro CC 2014 is a 2010 Mac Pro, abroad I'm editing on a 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Transferring projects from the Mac Pro to the MacBook Pro works fine, but every time I (re)-open a project on the Mac Pro, which was edited/saved on the MacBook Pro before, I have massive redraw problems in the timeline: It is mostly black, when I move the mouse some rectangles underneath will become gray, others black... – in simple words: it's not possible to work with this timeline at all. Switching between CUDA/GPU doesn't help, deleting previews, re-opening windows doesn't help either.
    When I create a new sequence, it looks fine, but I can't copy all clips of a messed up timeline to this new sequence, because Premiere only "sees" and copies a small fraction of the clips. The only workaround I found, was to IMPORT the sequences from the MacBook Pro projects. In this case everything looks and works as expected.
    Has anybody seen problems like this?

  • Mac Pro video card flaky?

    I have a Mac Pro 5.1, the mid-2010 model. Recently the display has been acting flaky, and now it doesn't seem to work at all.
    The problems started intermittenly for some time ago. I would switch the computer on and the monitor (a Samsung) would not receive a signal. I would get the picture by turning the monitor off and on again. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the monitor, but since it always received the video signal after flicking it off and on again, I didn't think too much about it.
    Two weeks ago the monitor suddenly lost the signal while the computer was on. The monitor and computer were still both powered, and the video cable was fine. But the flicking off and on didn't work this time. I had to turn off and on the Mac Pro itself to get the video back.
    Yesterday it happened again twice and this morning again. The signal from the card disappears after the computer is on for 10-15 minutes or so. When I was at the computer as it happened, I thought that the computer became more silent when the video vanished. Switching the computer off and on, does not help. I might get a signal, but for 30 sec or so, then it is gone again.
    I do not think the problem is the monitor, although I have not tried attaching another computer to it. I have the Mac Pro also hooked to my AV-receiver and LCD projector. When the Samsung loses the video signal, so does the LCD projector. My guess is that the video card is at fault here.
    The card is an ATI RAdeon HD 5870. Any advice how to make sure that the video card is the culprit, and not for example the motherboard? If it turns out the card is faulty, what would be a recommended replacement for it?
    Edit (addition): There is nothing wrong with the picture before it disappears. No distortions or anything. The video signal is simply gone.

    Have you tried blowing the dust out?
    Also the suggestion about running machine with side off and seeing if fan is running.
    Video cards are cooled by an array of small metal fins connected to the GPU chip. The fan blows air through these fins. Over time, the fins build up a layer of dust. This is especially true if you have animals, keep your Mac on the floor, live in a dusty area or if you smoke.
    The symptoms you describe are similar to an overheating card. They have thermal overload protection which simply shuts the card off when it reaches a temp above 100 C or so. If you are lucky, you just need to blow some compressed air BACKWARDs through the fan to knock the dust off the front face of the fins. I have seen these fins completely covered with dust, at which point the fan can only do so much to cool the card.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac pro resolution problem

    I have created a partition for windows 8.1 pro on my 13' retina display mac pro via boot camp, everything is fine except the resolution, when i open the browser, i could see pixels, the words aren't very sharp, but this isn't my biggest problem, when i open the Solidworks software i'm working on, the icons are too small, or the texts are too big for their boxes. what is happening here? anyone knows what is all about, or how to fix this? changing the resolution of the display didn't solve the problem.

    This is how the words look like in the browser page, you could see pixels. The maximum resolution for this machine is 2560*1600
