My mac pro book is blocked /jammed, the OS start stays on the apple without end
Two days ago, I have stopped my mac book pro after 2 hours of synchro with a time capsule (clean session).
From this event, my mac is not start properly. It satsy in the system launch "white apple on the grey back" with the barrels wheel running
I'd like re boot my mac. But How do it?
I ve tried "cmd+s" at the start and 've seen message saying that ok and suugest to "exit" if i don't want to modify the file
Hwo to valid "exit"???
Thank you for your help!
First try to do a Safe Boot and see if it manages to start up. Hold down the Shift key prior to the startup chime, wait (a long time) till it starts. This will load JUST the OS, no non-Apple stuff. If it manages to get going, try to restart and see if the problem is solved. Safe Boot also clears all the system and user caches (why it takes so long) so if one is corrupted and impeding start, this may clear it out. Holler back with results.

My Mac pro 2008, not running after the Apple logo, i rebooting and i rebooting

SRY for my english, it's not my language. Help my please, my apple care is finished 10/2011, and i will repared itself. Many thanks. Alain Muno
Not saying this IS your problem, but … I just went through avery similar problem with Mac Pro3,1. Here is my story.
On boot of any Mac OP system drive, internal or externalHDD, (Lion or Snow Leopard), original Mac Pro install CD, Snow Leopard CD,nothing. (Would only go to gray screen,apple logo, spinning gear that would stop spinning after about a minute.) But, it would boot on XP drive. However, in XP, on Windows black startupscreen, had alternating columns of two different patters of blue dots and XPgraphics were not as they should be (larger icons on desk top, slow response,different size of desk top (maybe 600x400 when it should have been1024x768). Supplied hardware test showedno failures. Took it to shop. Their better diagnostics showed nofailures. All peripherals (my drives, myCDs, etc, disconnected. (NOTE: they didnot try a new video card since they did not have one.) Still would not start even using their drives(external or internal). Shop tried a newlogic board. That did not work and theyput the original one back in. Shop saidall they could come up with was new processors. This was not a cost effective option and they had none to try.
After thinking about it more, I figured it could be thevideo card: the original 8800 GT that came with the Mac: that it was so bad itwould not start in Mac OS but would limp along in XP. I was all set to buy another vid card one-bay just to try. While doing thatresearch, came across several articles on the Internet that discussed vid cardfailure due to micro-cracks in some solder joints. These develop due to age/heat cycles. The proposed fix was to ‘reflow’ the solder. Figured it was worth a try before spendingthe money on a new vid card. Found thesedetailed instructions on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7um_hZYom4 I followed the procedure, put the vid cardback in, and now it works just fine.
I did not and would not do this until I had ruled outeverything else. But, it has worked forothers and it did work for me. -
I have a mac pro book version 10.10 that is running on the sluggish side. I can hardly use the internet because every time I click on a link or details about a product all the pop ups that make it impossible to surf the net. I am afraid to take any steps on my own because I am not quite that tech savvy. What can I do? I didn't think these kinds of things happened with a mac.

I have a music collection on my iPod (160GB Classic). I have that collection on my old Mac Book. Now I have a new Mac Pro and want to transfer the collection to the new Mac Pro, is that doable?
Thanks roaminggnome. Can I do that transfer wirelessly or do I have to get a large jump drive to copy and transfer. I presume that I cannot use my iPod right?

Change my mac pro book display
hello
i have a mac pro book
i ordered it with the glossy display. bad idea.
i have it out in my studio, so it gets dusty alla time, i sneeze on it a lot, i like to touch the screen a lot to point at things and so on. and therefore it pretty much stays grubbed up.
i am wondering if it is poss to have the screen swithced to the other non glare kind and how i would go about that and would it cost a lot of money.
thnaks
harold*"i sneeze on it a lot, "*
Yuck. Don't you cover your mouth or turn your head away?
*"i am wondering if it is poss to have the screen swithced to the other non glare kind"*
sure...it's possible.
*"how i would go about that"*
your local apple authorized service provider
*"and would it cost a lot of money."*
Absolutely
Buy an external monitor instead. -
I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?
Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

my mac book was refused by the apple service center as the mother board was crashed , pls help me what to do
If you live in a big city, then I would recommend an independent computer store that fixes Macs. There are many mom and pop computer stores that fix your computer. Just Google it.

I have downloaded Windows 8 on my Mac Pro 13'' retina display. The first few hours everything worked fine until I open windows today and the trackpad/mouse and keyboard aren't working. Ive tried resetting windows but it didnt work. help appreciated thanks
It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch... -
I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted.
I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted. Can I boot and install OSX Snow Leopard instead of reinstalling OSX Leopard?
Buy a new drive.
Leave your corrupt Leo system as is.
Maybe you own Disk Warrior? maybe not.
If you don't own Carbon Copy Cloner, invest in it. It can verify and do checksum on all files. So too can Lloyd's File Integrity app.
But you are overdue probably for a new system drive. My vote today is pick up a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for $90 is fine, will feel like a new computer and is room enough for system and apps. All your data needs to go to drive #2.
With a clone you should never have to reinstall. But you would have bootable backups from points in time, like right after installing, right before making changes.
If you are running Leo then it has to be Early 2008 or before, a 3,1 or maybe 1,1 or 2,1 model.
Leo is not receiving security updates. Snow is, but Lion is even more secure and runs on all Mac Pro models. It does drop support for all the older PowerPC programs and drivers.
You should insure that you are prepared for any updates needed even for 10.6.8.

My amp has an USB input but when I attach my mac pro to it, and set the input to the USB setting, no sound comes out. I looked at the system settings, but none of them produce a different outcome. How can I send the music through the USB out to USB in?
AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole. -
