  • How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate  the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs.  Anyone found a workaround?

    I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro.  I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
    Does anyone know of a work around.
    Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

    USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance.  Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.

  • I am having trouble with a LaCie 526 monitor working with my new Mac Pro.  When I boot up, I see the sign-in screen for a second, then it disappears, reappears with some of the screen pixelated and the spinning beach ball -- and then freezes. Any thoughts

    The LaCie is connected via DVI to thunderbolt adapter.  It had been working, and then when I switched off the computer and restarted several days later, I see the signon screen flash quickly, followed by nothing, followed by the signon screen and spinning beach ball and it simply freezes.  Any thoughts?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • 2009 Mac Pro will not boot up under Windows

    I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro system (Mac Pro 4,1) and I've had this system for 3 years already and have been working under OS X with this system ever since I purchased it.
    However, when I tried to boot off my Windows disk, something very interesting happens. The Mac Pro WILL NOT boot up off the Windows disk or a known working Windows partition if two monitors are connected. Upon holding down the option key and selecting the Windows partition, I will get a black screen on one monitor (the one connected via Mini Displayport) and the other screen receives no signal and will enter standby and the system is halted. It does not respond to keystrokes, there is no hard drive activity, no measured power increase on the UPS, no apparent network activity, nothing. The only way to exit this scenario (from what I can tell) is to power off the machine, disconnect the display on DVI, power on the machine again, select the Windows partition wait for the system to reach the login window and reconnect the DVI monitor (at which time Windows recognizes it immediately and the system works fine again).
    My question to the community is, does anybody know why this is happening and is there a known fix for this? Quite frankly, having to disconnect a monitor just to restart is very tedious and frustrating. 
    I have two Samsung P2350 monitors attached to an ATI Radeon HD 4870 (512MB, from Apple). One is monitor is connected via directly DVI and the other is using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter. Both monitors work fine under OS X with no issue. At first, I thought that this may be a driver issue on the Windows side and after installing all the latest updates and drivers the issue is still apparent. From what I can tell, this doesn't seem like a software issue but rather a firmware or EFI issue as this happens before Windows even loads.
    If anyone knows of a fix or what to do in this situation, or if you are also having this issue, I would love to hear your input!
    Thank you!
    For the record, I am running all the latest software builds on the OS X side (10.7.4, not that it would really matter at this point). I have also disconnected all unnecessary equipment in a trial and error scenario but the results are still the same.
    The system passes all ASD testing.
    The full specification of the computer and all connected equipment are as follows:
    2009 Mac Pro (4,1) 8-Core
    2x Intel Xeon Nehalem 2.66GHz Quad-Core CPUs
    16GB DDR3 ECC 1066MHz RAM (Apple Branded)
    Two OWC 120GB SSDs (One for OS X, the other for Windows 7 x64) - These are in place of my optical drives.
    4x 2TB WD Black Hard drives for storage.
    Two Samsung P2350 Monitors connected via DVI. (One using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter).

    In Windows I am using the latest (12.4) Catalyst Software Suite, 64 bit of course, downloaded directly from AMD's site after installing the drivers from Boot Camp.
    As for installing Windows I used an original (not burned) installation media (Disk is in a pristine condition). And yes, Windows is fine, the problem just seems to be getting the system to boot up Windows with that second monitor. However if the "problem monitor" is disconnected the system boots fine 100% of the time and connecting it later after booting the system will still operate properly.
    For the sake of arguement I swapped monitor cables and connected the "second" monitor to the mini displayport adapter to verify that it wasn't a cabling issue and I'm still yielding the same issues.
    As for GPU testing, I've played games (Crysis, Grand Theft Auto IV, Battlefield 3, etc.) and I've had no issues with the card or stability.
    You would think that Apple would try to find a fix for this, especially considering the caliber of this machine.

  • Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

    Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
    I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
    This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
    When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
    (I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
    and the display has no signal.
    During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
    Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
    In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
    but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
    In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
    In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
    In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
    As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
    You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
    This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
    and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
    http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
    Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
    Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
    and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
    Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
    Do you really think it's the new Drive?
    Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
    Any kind of help is welcome and
    I thank you in advance if you can help me.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
    Thanks again

  • Mac Pro will not boot, constant loud fan noise and nothing else

    hello,
    earlier tonight,i put my mac pro on sleep, then later on, when i wanted to take it off sleep and use it, it made the loud fan noise, which it always does but goes away, but this time it the fan wount slow down and the loud noise stays and i dont see anything on the screen. im guessing the fan noise is the ATI x1900 card...
    any help please..i just bought it 2 months ago...

    Hi, here are the steps I would go through. I would unplug the Mac Pro completely from everything and look at the video card's fan intake to make sure it isn't plugged and just make sure everything "looks" correct. I would then plug the machine back into one monitor/keyboard/mouse (leave all the other peripherals disconnected. Once that is done push the power button. Does anything happen? If not then if you have another mac and an external hard drive, make a copy of the OS on the drive and see if you can get the Mac Pro to boot off that drive. If the video card doesn't work then it will not show anything when booting off an external drive. If the external boot does work then I would suspect that you have a bad hard drive (or it crashed). At that point I hope you have a back up of all your data and such.
    Mind you these are steps I would go through. What a nightmare. One other thing to check, make sure your monitor didn't die.

  • Mac Pro will not restart from dropdown menu

    Hi all,
    My Mac Pro will not restart from the dropdown menu or when clicking the 'restart computer' when installing software updates. I have an external firewire hard drive hooked up as part of my backup process. It contains a clone of my startup disk.
    I have tried disconnecting the firewire drive, rebooting then attempting to restart from the dropdown menu. Still no joy. I always have to end up shutting down manually by holding the power button in and then restarting with the power button.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dennis

    You might try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    If your Shutdown functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    EDIT: Also, if you can launch Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and see if you can find the process that is still running.

  • HT1444 mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard

    mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard 10.6   ? presently using 10.5

    Haha! That's true. Though I've noted many users here calling a Power Mac a Mac Pro and visa versa.
    When my Power Mac died and I brought it into the Apple Store to have them look at it, the first Mac Pros hadn't been out that long. Even the staff didn't know the tower Mac they had out on display was a Mac Pro. I pointed out that it had two optical drive bays in front. Only the Mac Pros have two. All Power Macs have only one.

  • Mac Pro will not boot - HD and Machine are fine.

    Greetings, and thank you in advance for your wisdom.
    I have a 12-core Mac Pro, and she has been running like a dream. Once a month I run Onyx. Yesterday I did the same and upon reboot I got the grey apple screen and the spinning progress wheel that never stops spinning.
    1. I repaired the HD via Disk Utility. All is fine.
    2. The contents of the start-up drive are accessible - so the drive itself is not physically damaged.
    3. I installed a new HD and made a copy of this Start-up disk via the Disk Utility. It will not boot from this drive as well.
    4. I installed Snow Leopard (still using this) on the new drive to make sure the computer was happy. It fires up fine.
    5. Everything is disconnected from the Mac Pro
    So, I have obvious, and idiotically damaged the start-up disk using Onyx (assumption).
    My life would be much better knowing I could do something that would enable me to boot from my current start-up and that's where I seek your wisdom.
    Another question would be: If the above is not possible, if I install a fresh OS on the new drive, and then begin to replace all of the folders from the old drive (applications, library, etc.) will I be able to access my files as I did before. My issue is that I use this for music production, and there are literally close to 100 plugins that all have been registered. Going back through that process again would be days of labor, as some of these were purchases years ago. Tracking down serials would be a task. I think you understand.
    So any advice that might prevent me from having to do as I said above will be wonderful.
    Thank you all so much.
    Lance

    Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
    from:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
    If your Hardware is functioning correctly, and your disk has no un-repaired Directory problems [Hint: run Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) first] then re-installing Mac OS X modifies ONLY the files that are part of Mac OS X. Your Added Applications, User files (which contain preferences and serial numbers) are not supposed to be touched.

  • Mac Pro will not find boot volume

    Hello,
    My Mac Pro will not find it's boot volume. Each time the computer is started, the blinking folder with the question mark is the result. A working install of 10.7 does exist on the machine's primary hard drive. If  I were to press the option key on boot, I can select the primary hard drive (after entering the password) and everything boots as normal. I have run TechToolPro on the volume with no detected errors, even after a volume rebuild. A Recovery HD partition is not on the boot volume. Should that matter?
    I really really do not want to reinstall Mac OS X. I have hundreds of gigabytes of data in question. Any reinstall/reconfig would take days to complete.
    Thanks

    So you are saying that setting the default in Startup Disk doesn't work?
    And you have not got or been using Carbon Copy Cloner or another to provide working bootable backup?
    You should have Lion Recovery on one of your drives, do a clean install.,
    I assume TTPro media scan turns up no errors.
    MOVE all your data OFF the boot drive. Keep the system OS and apps on its own drive.
    Clone the system. Use TimeMachine and cloning for backup.
    And how is the pram battery?
    Any time you zap pram you lose the default and it will look for it like you see starting with SATA0 (bay 1)

  • Help! My Mac Pro will not boot up

    I knew I shouldn't try to use the Boot Camp on my MP, but I thought it would work.
    I have three HD in my MP and followed the instructions for the installtion of WIN XP on Mac drive 3, but when I was faced with the formatting choices in the Win setup I got confused with all the drive letters (I have two CD drives and three HDs), and must have formatted my Mac OS drive and partially drive 3.
    My Mac Pro will no longer boot to the Mac OSX, even with the "option" key held down. All I get is a black screen that says: "NTLDR is maissing. (press CRTL-ALT-DEL to reboot).
    Is there any hope of a recovery?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Wow...this is good to know! After many years with PCs I "assumed" that it would name the 1st drive "C" and then each one after that in order.
    My problem was that I have three identical drives, all 250 GBs, so it was confusing, but that is exactly what the instructions said. So, with your encouragement and a little bit of faith, I will try this one more time. At least I learned how to recover after deleting my boot drive.
    Thanks so much...
    Tony
    Tony,
    If I remember right from my boot camp / xp
    installation, boot camp aliases the drives, and when
    it tells you to format C: for windows, that's the one
    to select from the screen.
    I panicked when I saw that, but then I realized that
    the C: drive shown on the installation screen was
    actually my secondary drive (and that boot camp had
    shuffled the drive letters around). If you notice,
    C: is actually not the top of the list, and in my
    case I had two different drive sizes and so I could
    reason that C: matched my secondary drive's size.
    In short, pick C: for installation, as the program
    says...
    I thought for sure it nuked my OSX installation at
    first, when it didn't seem that I could boot back to
    OSX, but in the Control Panel of Windows (or in your
    System Properties on OSX) you'll see an icon called
    "Startup Disk" which will also allow you to pick OSX
    or Windows and then restart.

  • 16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What

    16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!

    Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • 2007 Mac Pro will not boot, even in safe mode

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro purchased in 2007 that had been working well up until a few months ago.  I had trouble with Microsoft Word 2008 repeatedly crashing; I repaired the hard disk and moved up to Word 2011, and the problem seemed to resolve. 
    Yesterday, the machine crashed, and I am not able to start it up, even in safe mode.  I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM, removed and cleaned the graphics card (NVIDIA 7300 GT), and removed the 3rd party RAM I installed at least 2 years ago.
    When booting to the internal hard drive, the Apple logo will show, then a blue screen followed by a gray screen with a frozen cursor.  When I boot to an external hard drive or the OSX Leopard install DVD, the screen flickers like below:
    When I tried to boot in safe mode while holding shift + command + V, the safe boot froze after reading:
    panic (cpu 2 caller 0x2abf6a): kernal trap at 0x0029a4bc, type 14= page fault, registries:
    [4 lines of 2-3 letter acronyms and numbers]
    Error code: 0x00000000
    I am thinking of buying a new graphics card (ATI Radeon 5700), but I want to be sure (as much as possible) that will solve the problem I am having.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

    replace the system drive
    always clone your system
    yes dump the 7300 if you plan to keep using it and use Lion
    A clean install would be nice start, on say 120GB SSD or something too
    And 2x2GB FBDIMM set is $30 if you need a set
    AHT is on your OEM DVD from 20007
    dust, temps and air flow is also important
