MacPro3,1 Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 3 GHz, 16 GB Reboots not stable.

Hi,
I have tried to search the community but I'm not getting any wiser. It all started when i installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. Now I formatted the SSD and re-installed Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and it has gotten worse. I don't understand what has happend.
Anyone know what to do?

Why is it that the DIMM 4 only has numbers in it? All the others have all zeros?

  • Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon Running Slow

    Hi everyone!
    I'm a professional photographer and could use some advise, and thanks for your help in advance!
    I have a Mac Pro 3.2 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 gigs of 1066 MHz DDR3 of memory, running on OS 10.9.5, and my main drive for applications is 1TB and has about 420 GB free. I have various other hard drives for storage.
    I use Chrome, Lightroom 4, Photoshop CC2014, Blogstomp, Spotify or iTunes, and I have Backblaze Backup running continuously.
    When I first got my computer I didn't have any problems, but over the past few months it's been running super slow. I know that LR4 has issues, but I want to make sure that there isn't anything else I need to look into before getting more memory. I mean even Chrome opening up has the beachball.
    Thanks!

    The output from that, post it, can be useful.
    More details on the hardware from it too: amount of memory (24-48GB RAM), any changes or upgrades.
    Good tips and advice can be found here, also pro graphics

    My guess is this is a 5,1 2010-2012. You could use a GTX 680 or later, it has good PCIe (the 2009 is somewhat weaker and crippled by sharing slots 3&4)
    A Samsung XP941 512 $525 delivers 1100MB/sec reads and 900MB/sec writes to supercharge your system - one of the best and few such, similar to the same SSD blade used in the nMP 6,1. Lightroom and CS love to be able to load and write scratch, graphic libraries. Bootable. You could use a smaller 256GB $275 for system in slot #3 and one for data and scratch in slot #4 if you wanted to go full out.
    You said it was fine originally so maybe something you installed, or an upgrade to the OS or something else that Etrecheck should help show.

    If your Blue-Ray video is under 30 minutes, you can burn it to  DVD disc using a DVD burner. I haven't had any problems playing these discs in a Blue-Ray player. The quality is the same as burning to a Blue-Ray disc.
    First I make a disc image and open that in the VLC player to check the quality... after that... burn to disc.

    Pro Tools 10.3.7
    Interface Apollo 16
    Pro Tools is curretnly not compatible with Maverick.   Also, I believe that Pro Tools 10 only allows 4GB ram to be utilized (not sure ) 
    I know Pro Tools 11 allows more, but not sure how much more.  Also not sure if the upgrade to Pro Tools 11 I will have to purchase all new plug ins or if my existing ones will continue to work in it.
    The platform changes from 32 bit to 64 with the upgrade to 11
    If it is as simple as adding more ram, what mode-part #l would you recomeend.  Can the processor be upgraded also ?
    The new tube like Macs are non compatible with UAD Cards.  Those cards a must my sessions

    You can use Activity Monitor to check if apps run as 32 or 64 bit - simply look at the "Kind" column (you may need to select it under View -> Columns) and see if the app in question is listed as "Intel" i.e. 32 bit or as "Intel (64 bit)".
    While in Activity Monitor you can also check if Pro Tools is close to the 3-4 GB limit of a 32 bit app - if you aren't you will probably not benefit from more RAM.
    Your MacPro (it appears to be a Early 2009 model) should have come with a small booklet showing how to install RAM and what kind of RAM that you need. Any RAM that fulfills the requirements should work but your safest choice is probably to buy from a retailer/online store that supports Macs as they will usually know what kind of RAM you need for your mac model.
    Upgrading the CPUs should be possible, but I haven't seen Apple document how to do this, so you will probably have to google around a bit to find instructions and CPU part numbers.
    Your choice of CPUs will also be limited by the motherboard and CPU socket so you may be limited to faster version of your current CPU chip and some slightly newer versions.
    Going from your current CPU to the fastest version included in the 2009 MacPros would be going from 2.26 GHz to 2.93 GHz. This would only give a modest 30% speed boost. Using newer and highly clocked CPUs might boost this somewhat more maybe to 50% ?

  • Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive.

    Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive?
    Or should I transfer them to Lightroom?

    That's really a personal preference. Support for Aperture is coming to an
    end and you may find yourself unable to get to theses photos in the future
    in the case of a HDD crash if you can't get the software to reinstall.
    Faced with that prospect, I would probably put it on my list of things to
    do when I am feeling really bored and looking for something to amuse myself
    with. You can export your Aperture photos in their original format to a
    folder on your desktop and then import them into Lightroom. Use the copy
    option on the import to save the photos in a new folder within your
    Lightroom catalog.

  • Which OS for Mac Pro (3,1) 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon?

    I purchased my Mac Pro 3,1 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon  with 10.5 (Leopard)-

    Is there not a full 10.7 OS Disc?
    There is no official DVD at all, but there is a thumb drive with both 106 and 10.7 on it for US$70.
    On an older Mac, about 2010 or older, you need access to one of:
    • The Mac App Store ( such as on a Mac with a working 10.6.8 or better)
    • working Recovery HD
    • a bootable 10.7 Installer, on thumb drive, Hard drive, or DVD
    So for ONE 2010 or older Mac with a bad drive, you would have to buy the US$70 Apple thumb drive, or have previously made a DVD or Hard Drive when you previously downloaded 10.7. Or you re-install 10.6.8 then overwrite it with the downloaded 10.7.
    • another Mac with 10.7 installed so you could transfer Recovery HD to the down Mac with "Lion Recovery Disk Assistant"
    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
    On some 2010 and most 2011 models, if Recovery HD is messed up or not Installed, but you have a working Broadband connection [with DHCP enabled], the Firmware has been upgraded so it will boot from the Internet and do the whole job using "Lion Internet Recovery" as described in the second section of this glossy article:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
    If no DHCP is available [no Router upstream, either yours or your ISP's], it may not work.

  • Slowwwwww mouse new to me 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine

    I have a new to me 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon machine and I can not get my mouse speed to the speed I am used to using the preference setting FAST. any ideas. Also I have my Wacom pad on it and can get no speed out of it much either, mouse or pen?
    Both mouse and pen used to whizz along on my G3 and 4?
    I downloaded mouse zoom yet that seemed to load and just made no diffence?
    Stumped!
    Using Tiger 10.7.3 downloaded Intuos 9 X12 drivers as old ones would not cut it 'They' say it works with Tiger!

    Ta for the reply. All clean installed when it left Apple store.
    Sorry for my ignorance here, yet I did not understand how this applied:
    No Intel Mac Pro worked wtih anything less than 10.4.7.
    And had to be OEM, there was no retail 10.4.x for Intel.
    Better off with 10.5.8.  ?
    Seem to have sorted it now. Darned if I can rember how in my fiddling!
    the mouse now whizzes along!

  • My 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon turns itself off and on by itself

    my 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon turns itself off and on by itself

    Always makes it easier and shorter thread life to start wtih a basic list of parts: RAM, GPU which can vary a lot and be important, other upgrades or changes or such.
    Whether you have done SMC Reset, Safe Boot, Clean install. Even disconnecting external devices.
    And whether you have 10.6.8 or not, likely not.
    3rd party tasks
    Best is to start wtih a base clean system and only install the minimum necessary latest versions and test as you go.
    Setup an emergency boot drive in addition to the OS Recovery partition to perform repairs and more. Especially if you are now using an SSD.
    When it started. What you did or what  happened before and how long it has been this way.
    Not a cure but having a UPS helps and helps to avoid sudden power loss or changes or from storms.
    2008's ahve become notorious for these kinds of issues. They shipped with wake from sleep restart bug that was addressed with a pair of firmware updates to EFI and SMC but have not I would venture to say been 100% successful.

  • Best graphics card for MacPro 5,1- 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon OS 10.6.8

    Hi everyone.
    I have a 2011 MacPro 5,1- 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. 32GB RAM OS 10.6.8 with the stock ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card.
    When I output/process/convert video through Quicktime or iMovie or Adobe Premiere or VisualHub (not always, but usually WS multi-pass H264, best quality), it seems to take forever.
    Currently (as I type this) outputting a 2 hour movie made of 14 clips of 852x480 30fps 44KHz movies to a 29.97 multi-pass H264 48KHz file with Adobe Premiere CS 5.5.2- is coming up on 10 hours.
    I would like to upgrade to a better graphics card with better VRAM and processing power. I realize that being on OS 10.6.8 may create a few problems. I'm willing to upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 if need be. Though I'd hate to lose the carbon programs that I still use (like VisualHub).
    I've heard that nVidia is the way to go, but I'm not sure which card to get. The Quadro FX 4800 looks promising (and expensive).
    Anyone have any insight?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Dual or triple boot until you are sure if Lion or ML works.
    GTX 570 2.5GB VRAM $320 from MacVidCards is one way to go, even GTX 680 (but that does require 10.8.x)
    Nvidia 4000 (I thought I read Nvidia has a 5000 Quadro) not the older 4800. Amazon has Q4K $800.

  • How to delete photos with Zero KB size that were downloaded onto mac pro osx vers 10.5.8, 2x2.8 quad core intel Xeon ?

    How to delete picture files ( nikon NeF and jpeg )  with Zero  KB  size that were downloaded onto mac pro osx vers 10.5.8, 2x2.8 quad core intel Xeon
    -- have not been able to move them or move them to trash without  crashing  Finder  ?

    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    Try trashing them in Safe Mode, reply if that doesn't help.

  • HT201364 Can we install os x Mavericks on a quad-core intel Xeon ?

    Hello there,
    Unfortunately I can not install os x Mavericks. I would wonder if it's due to my computer's age. My processor is 2 * 3 ghz quad-core intel Xeon, 8 GB of Memory!
    Thank you.
    Best wishes,
    Ed

    Need to know the Model Identifier or when it was manufactured.
    It needs to have been released in Early 2008 or newer. Model Identifier 3,1 or greater.
    Yours appears to be the original Mac Pro. It doesn't have the necessary hardware (64-bit EFI) to run Mountain Lion or Mavericks.

  • I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • Fileshare between my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit) & Power Mac 9600

    I want to make my Power Macintosh 9600/233 (Mac OS 9) a shared computer with my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit)(Mac OS 10.6.6). I am using a Netopia Model 3346N-VGx DSL Ethernet Managed Switch to network with my Samsung printer and the Mac Book Pro.
    I also have a Power PC G4 (Mac OS 10.5.8) connected (via a Ziplinq 48" Retractable Crossover Network Cable) to a Farallon EtherWave 10 Base-T AAUI Transceiver, which in turn is connected to the Netopia, from which I can share files. All of this is ethernet connectivity.
    I thought I could connect my 9600 using the same method as for the G4 or by connecting the ethernet cable from the 9600 directly into the Mac Pro Quad Core. However, neither of these methods work.
    An additional stumbling block is that I have not used this 9600 for several years and am not sure of its account name. I'm fairly certain of its password. But because I don't have a second monitor for this machine, I can't muddle my way in.
    My questions:
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Oh man, what a dilemma...
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    Without a monitor on the 9600, almost none. At the very least you'll need to configure the server with appropriate network settings for your environment, and that can't be done headless.
    You might only need a display for long enough to setup the network, but you'll need one all the same.
    Once the network is configured your options are either AFP or FTP, but I'm not even sure the old version of AFP is supported anymore, which means you may need to fire up an FTP client on the 9600 and push the files to your MacPro.
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    As mentioned above, you're going to need a monitor at the very least to configure the network settings. I'd be inclined to say at that point you might as well copy the files off any way you can and put the 9600 to rest. If you're really, really fortunate and the 9600 has a CD burner I'd probably use that and count myself lucky
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    The 9600 shipped with SCSI drives, which no current Mac support (at least without a SCSI card), so there's no way to remove the drive from the 9600 and attach it directly to the MacPro.
