My mac pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound

My Mac Pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound, more and more frequently. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this telling me one of my HD is going bad?

...I had them so close together that it sounded like the MacPro. Once I pulled them apart however, it was clear where the sound was coming from. Thank you all for the help!
Been there, done that. And the instructions, once I found them, seemed to list every possible communication except the chirps; I had to call tech support, which was actually a pleasant experience after dealing with Verizon.
The frequency of chirping as well as how long each chirp sequence lasts seems to be related to the line voltage. It's as if the UPS begins to worry as the line voltage goes down that it might have to actually do something with its battery.

    The panic was caused by the MAXPower device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed.
    First check the manufacturer's website for an update. If there is none, or if it doesn't help, I suggest you remove the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post another panic report.

    That is the distinctive panic report of an uncorrectable memory error.
    *** Panic Report ***
    Machine-check
    9 error-reporting banks
    Processor 0: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000004
    machine-check is a Hardware problem. Memory problems often show error code 4 or 5, and are detected by MULTIPLE Processors at once. (a software problem would panic-out ONE Processor, and would not say Machine-check.
    The Xeon Processor with Error Correcting Code memory on the Mac Pro stores additional bits with each word in memory, carefully computed so that if the word is read back with one bit wrong, the errant bit can be corrected by Hardware with essentially no slowdown. A background task collects and tabulates the error occurrences, and they can be read back using the STATIC display shown below.
    Uncorrectable errors are detected, but most of these cannot be corrected, so your Mac will halt with a kernel panic, machine check detected by multiple processors. This is by design, to avoid poisoning your data.

    So go about your usual work. From Time-to-Time, re-invoke or Refresh this display. The first modules to show up with errors are BAD, and any filled slots that show as "empty" had errors during the power-on self test, and are also BAD.

    My MacBook Pro keeps making copies of a document that I am trying to save. I don't want to duplicate the file. I only want to save it on both my hard drive and my external hard drive. I do not want to change its name for every save, which the computer seems insistent on doing. Help!!

    I did not create the file to be read-only. I created to be able to continue to add to it as I work on it.

    Sounds like a permissions problem ie read only.
    If running repair permissions from your DiskUtility.app does not sort it,
    Someone should jump in here with erudite and concise fix.

  • 2008 Mac Pro keeps losing connection to my Plex Blu-ray burner

    my 2008 Mac Pro keeps losing connection to my Plex Blu-ray burner.  It is installed in the second optical drive bay.  If I power down, pull the connections to the drive and re-attach, the drive is again recognized on boot.  A day later, no drive found.  The first optical (top bay) drive never loses connection.  Any thoughts?

    Disable drive sleep in the Energy Saver system preference.

  • You can't use The following message is stopping me access my disk utility.  'this version of the application "Disk Utility" with this version of OS X.'  not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.

    After installing Yosmite, The following message is stopping me accessing my disk utility.  'You can't use this version of the application “Disk Utility” with this version of OS X.' you have “Disk Utility” 12.1.1. 
    not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.
    Help

    For whatever reason you don't have the Yosemite version of Disk Utility which is 13. I suggest you reinstall Yosemite.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Check that you have the current version of Disk Utility.

  • I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks?

    I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.

    The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
    I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
    Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
    Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
    The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
    you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
    Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

  • Mac Pro - Keeps crashing more frequently

    Hi All,
    I wonder if anyone can help as I keep having issues with my Mac Pro crashing more and more frequently.
    Its an early 2008 model 2 x 2.8ghz, 10gb ram, Nvidia 8800 GT512 card.  Im on mountain lion which is up to date.
    I'm a photographer and whenever im creating a batch of previews in lightroom for instance it wont get all the way through without crashing and rebooting.  I thought at first it was getting to hot but after using SMC to run the fans at max during the preview creation, it now still crashes.
    Below is a copy of the error report, which to be fair at the moment doesnt mean a lot to me, im hoping that some of you more advanced users can decipher it a little?
    Many thanks in the first instance.
    Dave

  • My Mac Pro keeps restarting & I don't know why

    Hi,
    It's happened three times now, twice when I was asleep and once when I actually witnessed it happen.
    When I saw it happen, it was  as if someone had pulled the power plug out of the back, it was that quick.  I was typing along and suddenly zap, it powered off instantly!  It wasn't a power outage - I have a UPS with a loud obnoxious alarm, so I'd have know were that the case.  Besides, in all three instances I checked the clocks in the house and none of them were flashing 12:00, it wasn't a power outage.
    When it happens, it reboots immediately (of course that's not instant, it takes the usual amount of time to boot up), and it's waiting at the login screen.
    I'm getting concerned, and I'd sure like it to stop doing this.  Especially considering what I paid for this machine (around $7,000, not counting the monitor and all the extras)
    It's a Mac Pro, 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon running 10.8.3.
    At one point I bought more ram (32GB) and I honestly can't remember if the first time it restarted was before or after I had bought this ram or after.  Could bad ram explain it?  If so, can I test it?  Other thoughts I've had - can a failing hard drive do that?  I didn't think so but I don't know.  Or maybe a surge from a device that's connecting via USB (not all my usb devices are going through my UPS)?  Bad ram??  It'd be great it if were something simplie like a failing power supply, I really hope it's not the motherboard or CPU.
    I'm not quite sure how to read the "Problem Details and System Configuration" upon restart (the dialog box that comes up explaining that the computer was restarted because of a problem, and would I like to send a report to Apple), but I've pasted that info below my message.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks,
      -Adam

    Thank you all for your input.
    The hatter, thanks for the info.  It's a CyberPower UPS probably six years old.  I'm not sure what the lifespan is on these UPSs, whether it's getting old or not.  Also thanks for the info on how to effectively test the RAM, from subsequent posts it sounds like it's likely (hopefully) not the ram, but if it comes to that I'll know how to test it now, thank you.
    Grant and Linc, yeah, I have a lot of crapware in my kernel.  If that's the cause of my problem, I'm very releived!!  I'm glad it's probably not a hardware problem.
    I'd love to figure out how to remove the crapware, but I don't know if that's possible.  I haven't manually rebuilt a kernel since I was using Gentoo, ages ago.  If it's not possible, I'll resintall from scratch again.  It's carried over from many years of OS X upgrades, so a fresh start would be great anyway, I'm sure.  The only addons I'll keep are ExpanDrive (fantastic application that mounts FTP sites as locally mounted RW drives that you can access in the finder), and Little Snitch, you all know what that is I'm sure.  I'll see if there's an alternative to Logitech's crapware, I really like being able to use all my special keyboard and mouse buttons but for a long time I've thought their drivers and software are very poorly designed.  And then Audio Hijack Pro, hopefully it only needs to add one or two kernel modules (as far as I know soundflower has been obsolete a while now).
    Can/does a Kernel panic shut down a computer that quickly?  It was literally instantaneous, I didn't get that warning screen in all the different languages, it was just down in a flash.
    Thank all for your help, all this crapware in my kerenel causing this problem seems extremely plausible and I'm releived it's probalby not my motherboard!  My next step will probably be to install OS X from scratch.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?

    Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
    MacBook Pro
    2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
    4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
    OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
    I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
    Tried safe boot several times. No help.
    Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something  - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
    Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
    Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said  “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
    Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
    Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?
    Cheers

    ... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
    While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
    Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
    If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one.

  • Mac Pro keeps freezing & no longer Shuts Down properly

    Hya.
    Im using a Mac Pro in work (Mac Os 10.5.8. with 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) . One day while doing a "Save as" in a program, the program froze/became unresponsive. In the Force Quit tab, it says "not responding", so i click force quit on it. It closes the window ive been working on and i get the message that the program has closed, BUT in the Force Quit tab, it still shows it listed and "not responding" next to it. It is also showing as running in the dock still. So obviously i cant restart this program, because its unresponsive. I have to shut down the computer, it shuts down everything else, but gets stuck trying to close down this frozen application, so it doesnt shut down the computer and i have to just switch the computer off.
    I thought maybe it was just one program, but its litterally any program, could be safari if i say...click a box in facebook, or sendspace where it asks to search my computer for a file, if i ask it to do this, then the program freezes. It seems to mostly happen when i ask the computer to search for something i guess. "Save As" in most programs. Or if i click to import an image into a program, then bam, freeze.
    Sometimes even "Finder" freezes and i have to just switch the computer off.
    I generally get about 20-25mins without it happening, that is if im not heavily "saving as" or importing things, or asking the computer to do anything "tough".
    Also, if one program freezes, and i ignore it and keep using another program, within a few minutes the next program im using freezes.
    Some of the things ive tried are killing the running program in the Terminal application, and trying to quit the process in the Activity Monitor application. Neither work in closing the frozen program.
    Ive used Disk Utility to see if there are any problems with the disk and there are none. We also bought DiskTools Pro and it also sees no problem with the hardware.
    Originally i had something like 40gb on my desktop, i thought this might be slowing things down, but ive cleared it to nothing on the desktop and the problem continues.
    I know I could reinstall the operating system, but i just dont like the idea of having to put everything back in its proper place again, and files "linking" up to their original place.
    Not sure if this ties in with the problem, but we have an external hardrive plugged in which used to automatically sync up with time machine. This no longer works, and havnt been able to Back Up since the problem started.
    Anyone have any idea what could be the problem before we have to send it off to get repaired?
    Thanks in advance!

    that is why my approach
    clone your system
    be ready to restore if needed
    don't rely on Disk Utility
    have an emergency boot drive / a working clone
    keep data on another drive
    spare extra drives
    probably Disk Warrior has been rated #1 for over 10 yrs to rebuild directory
    you should never need to reinstall, but you do need backups and how to use them

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • Mac pro keeps rebooting

    My Mac Pro 2.1 Keeps rebooting ramdomly. It seems to be more common when editing video.
    Any ideas anybody?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry for the slow reply.
    My Mac Pro 2.1 screens go black and instantly reboots, sometimes it keeps rebooting until i hold the power button. I have reset pram,smc,renewed permissions and checked hard discs.
    I am booting from a drive with lion 10.7.3. It also happens when I am booted from another drive running Snow Leopard.
    I have also removed 4 gig of the 8 gig of ram and tried different configs of ram.
    I have also disconnected everything except the keyboard, mouse and 2 monitors.
    It is driving me bonkers because I cannot trust the mac Pro and I often lose work because it suddenly reboots.
    Any suggestions anyone.
