My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
Thanks

Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
Remove the AC power cord.
Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
wait a quarter minute.
Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
wait a quarter minute
attempt to power on.
If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My Mac Pro wont power on please help

My mac pro wont start up.
I have already checked the power supply, fuses and have tried to zap the PRAM and changed the internal battery.
The on/off button is completely unresponsive and no light is showing on the monitor

To make progress, you need the fans to come on and the Chime. The conventional way to debug this issue is to remove EVERYTHING that could be drawing down too much power, and try for the chime.
Remove:
Graphics card
any other PCIe cards
Hard Drives
DVD Drives
external devices like USB devices
all but one pair of DIMMs
Then try to power it on. If it chimes, or the power light flashes, it's alive and can be debugged. Add back one item at a time and try for more.

Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore, Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore

Looking for advice on Mac Pro with a dying video card. This the early Xeon dual core 3.0Ghz with an ATI Radeon X1900. Maybe the Nvidia Quadro 4500. I know there is s Quadro 4800 which I don't know if will will work with this older Mac Pro. Links and advice is appreciated.

Both cards will work with your computer although that's not stated on Apple's website. I'm using a 5770 in a first generation Mac Pro and it works quite well. I can't get the best performance from it because my MP only has PCI Express 1.0 slots.

mac pro wont let me install os x 10.6 from disk

You need the orignal system discs or an upgrade DVD that has Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on it and you must erase, or better Re-Partition, the drive to get rid of any Newer version of OS X first.

Mac Pro & ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card

I just bought a new Mac Pro but upon set-up I realized that I couldn't use my existing Apple monitor that has a ADC connection. I would have to buy the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter. Instead of doing this, could I take the ATI Radeon 9200 out of my old Quicksilver and put it in the new Mac Pro? This older video card has the right kind of connection that I need for this monitor. I could put it in and try but thought I would ask before I did just in case it is not compatible.

The Apple adapter will work for a LCD with ADC, but not for a CRT.

There are no ADC graphics cards that will work in a Mac Pro.

Mac Pro 1,1 needs 2nd card for 3rd display

I have dual core (2.66 GHz) Mac Pro 1,1 with 8 GB ram, 120 Gig SSD boot drive, 1-500 internal HD and and external FW 120 Mg
Am sticking with SL 10.8.6 for another year or two, as I have too many Rosetta-dependent apps and too little money.
Am running two 23" Cinema displays with the original Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT card, both @ a 1920 x 1200 res, 32 bit color.
However, I need more 'desktop', as I do a lot of multi-window tasking (6-8-10 windows up and active at a time).
I want to add another used 23" Cinema dislay at 1920 x 1200, 32 bit color for a total of three monitors.
Next year, I may swap out one of my 23" displays for a 27" or a 30"
What is the cheapest graphics card to add for the third display?
I assume that another Apple GeoForce 7300 GT MA567Z/A is my best bet?
Best price I have seen for a Apple GeoForce 7300 GT MA567Z/A is about $130-$140. Is that a good price?
I assume that the plain GeoForce 7300 GT, @ about $30, is not designated for, and will not work in a Mac. Correct?
95% of what I do:
Lots of spreadsheets with simple charts.
Thunderbird mail
Web browsing,
Lots of research and writing in Word
Lots of text and photo 'cut and paste'.
A small amount of low end photo editing
A small website
A few relatively small drawings with McDarft.
I don't do:
games
video, movie, sound editing
any other high graphic demand stuff.
I am only using about 60 GB of disk memory
Thanks for any advice which would add to my previous homework.
I love these forums!

Sorry, I forgot to add that small detail..
I can switch both connections and it'll work for the mac part of the deal but the windows end cant switch screens - making the apple display the primary display on windows..
now it sounds like a "windows" issue doesnt it!?heh

Mac pro and motu PCIe audio card with a 2408mkIII

mac pro and motu PCIe
i recently upgraded to the mac pro from a G5 and now my motu 2408 mkIII sound card does not work.
i installed the motu PCIe 424 pci card from motu and installed the latest UB drivers, followed the instructions to the letter, repeated numerous times in every pci e slot with only temporary luck. it worked briefly and then when the computer slept i lost the connection with the interface and have not been able to regain it.. yes i re-installed to the letter again. the pcie card is seen by the computer but it cannot seen the external rack mounted 2408 via the audiowire that connects it. yes i tried other cables. the unit worked fine on my G5.
i have heard of others with the same problem after updating the firmware to SMC 1.7. my mac pro came with the latest firmware.
Message was edited by: tara ntula

another user forum wrote this on 8 august 2007 in regards to their mac pro.
To my surprise I had five software updates waiting for me. Among them Pro App update, two of them, and this SMC update. After I updated my MOTU PCI-424 audio interface no longer works. Tried installing MOTU drivers again, still nothing. It can't communicate with its audio interfaces. So right now, this amazing update from Apple stopped me from working, and I am on a pretty tight deadline. I hope I'll find a solution ASAP

Mac Pro + ESXi 5.1: video card passthru problem

Hello,
I've installed VMware ESXi 5.1 on my Mac Pro (model 5,1). I've created a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine, and configured ESXi so that the Mac Pro video card is attached to the VM via VMDirectPath I/O. The windows VM boots and makes use of the physical video card: its desktop is displayed on the Mac Pro's screen.
Doing the same thing with a Mac OS X 10.6 VM yields to a non-bootable state. The Mac OS X VM will boot only if I remove the PCI device from the VM configuration.
Is there any way to use the (Apple provided) ATI video card of my Mac Pro into a Mac OS X VM on top of ESXi?

okay ben, I'll try to help you. I was in the same boat you were, trying to look for a Mac sound card that I could install into my Mac Pro. Short Answer:there isn't one, unless you're looking to spend a lot of money. For the record the last one ( I think) was the m-audio revolution 7.1, but that was PCI, which doesn't matter now (PCI-E). Perhaps creative makes an external USB sound card which might help, but I'm not really sure on that.
Your best best is, afaik, if you speakers support it, use the optical out from your Mac pro and connect it to your speakers. There may be other solutions out there, but they are all guesswork, as far as I know

Mac Pro Mouse Lagging and Sound Skipping

My Mac Pro 1's mouse is lagging and the sound is stuttering.
I took it into the Apple store and they ran all the tests and had it pinned to a RAM issue and a graphics card issue.
I upgraded the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770 and upgraded the RAM then. It has a new hard drive in it, and is running snow leopard as well. All of this has improved it, but it is still creating the same problems.
What is left to be done?

You should absolutely contact Apple immediately. This does not sound like trivial problem and is probably indicative of an imminent total failure.
Mac Pro 2.66; 1 GB RAM (until price drops from heavenly highs ) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mac Pro makes a odd sound!

Whenever I turn on my Mac Pro, after several minutes I hear this single tick sound. Almost like something either switched on, or got warmed up and expanded a little? Anyone else have that? I never experience any issues because of it, but do you think it's something I should check out with applecare?

You never replaced the video card? added or replaced RAM? other changes?
Lack a bootable backup? usually called clone.
How many types of backup?
Also, Lion 10.7.5 is supported but not earlier versions.
FBDIMMs fail, not if but only when, due to heat stress.
PSU problems are rare. A UPS of course is a wise investment and should be a must on any desktop or workstation computer.
Reset the SMC involves unplugging everything. Then hitting power button. Then wait. Reconnect only kb/mouse and monitor.
The X1900 had to be removed and cleaned every 3-4 times a year due to dust and heat.
The OEM 7300GT would likely be on its last leg also.
The system startup disk - generally replace every 2-3 yrs if not more. Ideal today, a 128-250GB SSD $80-130.
My guess is that even if you remove all the disk drives and try booting, it won't. But try. And try from the OEM 10.4.7 DVD or later retail OS X disc.
