Restarted Mac pro
hi, could somebody help me pls. i've tried to re-installing the application OS X Mountain Lion on my PC. Had followed the instructions on reinstalling it by choosing 1. Apple Menu> Restart> Command R keys while Mac restarts. 2. Chose an available Wi-Fi network but I don't have any password to click. My PC hanged up from then for almost 1hour now. What should I do w/ this?. Power off isn't working either.
Yes, that is what I done. I renamed it; just wanting to give it a different name. After about 30 min of searching I finally found my files. There might be an easier way, but what I done to put everything back to where it was, was drag all my files back to the old name. Then I deleted the new name.
So what is the purpose of that? I noticed I had 2 other names besides the original name. I must have created them somewhere along the way during the customizing and personalizing of my Mac.
Just an FYI. I have used a PC all my life, but after hearing so many good things about Mac (other than a shortage of software) I decided to purchase a Mac. I have been a proud owner of this Mac Pro for about 3 weeks now and dont plan on ever going back. I spend more time actually doing something productive than trying to work the bugs out of the system.

30" LCD Cinema display - sporadically blanks out, need to restart Mac Pro
2007 vintage 30" LCD Cinema HD display running off a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT. Was Mac OS 10.5.latest, just upgraded to 10.6.4 with no effect on the problem.
This has happened perhaps 8 or 10 times over the last few months, and IIRC always when I'm playing WoW. I know WoW heats up my Pro more than anything else because I can hear the cooling fans speeding up when I load and play it.
The symptom is the screen goes totally black. The little white light down the bottom-right of the display comes on. If I push the power button on the display the white light goes bright, but there's no other reaction. The capslock light on the keyboard still reacts so I know I don't have a total system hang.
I shut down the whole Mac Pro by holding in its On button for 10 seconds, and it powers down as normal. But the white light on the display is still on, and I have to disconnect the power from the display so the white light goes off; only then I turn the Pro back on and all is well again.
The screen always gets very warm to the touch - I can hold my hand on it OK so it's not burning hot but it still seems too hot to me. Is this normal for this screen? It seems a little odd there are no cooling vents if so. Having just restarted iStat Pro says Mac HD (I think that's the display) is 46c, CPUs and everything else 40c or below. It is coming on for summer here but today is not hot, iStat says ambient is 23c.
So what am I asking for? I guess some sort of validation of my issue, advice, and where I should start diagnosis - display, video, display power, the Mac itself ... or should I just get Apple out here? I do have Apple Care.
Thanks all.And it's happened twice since then, both while playing WoW. After the latest reboot my temps are 49c for display, 45c and 48c for CPUs. The Mac has been on for over 6 hours before I ran up Wow with no problem, in Wow for maybe 5 minutes and there it goes.
The latest Mac updates to iTunes 10.1 and OS 10.6.5 were applied a few hours ago, well before this latest crash.
My best guess is that either some component has gone temperature-intolerant that didn't used to be, or there is something in the latest WoW version that is triggering some hardware, driver or OS problem. I really don't have much of an idea where to go now. Any suggestions? -
Logitech bluetooth mouse not found on restarting Mac Pro
hi
for some time now I have been using a logitech V270 bluetooth mouse with my Mac Pro which has a bluetooth 2.0 card installed. all works fine except that when i restart my Mac Pro the mouse is generally not automatically detected and i get the 'bluetooth mouse setup' screen with the message 'there isn't a mouse connected'. i then need to press the reset button on the mouse and go through the usual connection procedure.
i wonder i anyone has any advice as to how i can get this set up so that the Mac Pro automatically connects
thanks
nickHello all -
I found a solution to this by using Bluetooth Explorer. I had previously tried this and it didn't work, however I realized that I was using an old version of Bluetooth Explorer! When I downloaded the newest version from apple, it worked like a charm and I was able to select which Bluetooth adapter I wanted to use. Switched it over to the USB dongle and it works perfect now. No more skipping mouse, woo hoo! -
? I get a matte gray screen on restart, Mac Pro, OS 10.7.3
After installing updates, I restarted my Mac and it ends up with a matte gray (cloth-like appearance) with a gray Apple logo, but does not get to the desktop. I can open/close the DVD tray, and have cursor control, but nothing else seems to work.
Short of reinstallation of Snow Leopard, what are my alternatives. I did the Lion update online but do not have a system disk, hence reversion to Snow Leopard is my only option.
TIA,
JamesThere are instutions for how to save your Lion ESD package and keep it for later reinstall.
Clone as backup strategy and use it regularly for your system and before any updates.
Of course you can redownload Lion and may need or want to at some point.
There is or shoud still be a Lion Recovery partition. Use it.
Carbon Copy Cloner can clone both the LR partition as well as all your other volumes
you tried a SAFE BOOT? that would be first step.
I'm waiting for ability to rollback updates and drivers but until then may as well leave as is / install SL on another drive / use Setup Assistant / And do a clean install of Lion also on another drive
In the meantime try to repair and recover files.
And do you have TimeMachine? you can use that from Lion Recovery.

Restart MAC Pro in Windows Partition
I have a black screen with the message:
"Data missing
Restart: Push a tab..."
But nothing happens... no response of my MAC.Further to the above: I have now managed to install and boot Vista64 from the SAS drive.
For those interested, I booted into OS X (on a SATA drive) and installed the drivers for the Atto card, then flashed the card with the latest firmware (as at 13/9/08). After rebooting, I could see the SAS drive in either Mac or Windows - although I still couldn't boot from it, or install an OS to it.
I used the Atto "MakeDisk" utility to create a Windows driver folder on a USB Flash drive.
Then I attempted to install Vista (loading drivers from USB as approprate), but it wouldn't install to the SAS drive becuase it was a "GPT Style partition".
I rebooted into WinXP and used DiskPart (from the command prompt) to change the SAS drive from a GPT to an MBR disk.
After this I could install Vista sucessfully (still had to load drivers from the USB).
I've now created a second MBR partition on the SAS drive, and tomorrow I'm going to install the BootCamp drivers in Windows and then see if I can install OS X.5 on that partion.
I'm pretty happy, as even if I have to run OS X from a SATA drive, I've got what I wanted - a quiet, good-looking and realatively cheap high-end dual-boot PhotoShop machine (I use PhotoShop on Windows). -
I think I have blown out my USB ports. Plugged in an external drive to USB, but drive also had an AC connection which I connected. Whole screen went white; unplugged external drive (both AC and USB) and shut down MacPro. Restarted and everything came back except access to USB ports. Have tried to reset PRAM and SMC. No success. Have I blown out the electronic circuitry to my USB ports?
Thanks for the response, but ironically enough, I feel really stupid after posting that because a couple minutes after posting that my DELL mouse started working again, but I honestly don't know how long that'll last. After it started working again, I tried switch which port it's plugged into again, and the other one (the one closest to me) still isn't working. If it stops working again (which it probably will), I'll definitely take it to the Apple Store. But, for some reason almost every time I take a device to the Apple Store, it fixes the problem itself when I get there, and then stops working after I leave (like just now.)
That's happened a couple times, like when my computer was heating up alot, and when my phone's sound kept shutting off by itelf.
Anyways, I want to keep this discussion up just because I know it'll stop working soon. But, yeah, I was planning on taking it to the Apple Store anyways, but I think the earliest I can is probably Saturday or Sunday, so I'll do that then.
Thanks for the response!

Mac Pro restart/shutting down problem
So, now I have my Mac Pro. I really love this machine. I working in OS X & I gaming in WinXP SP2 (boot camp 1.1.1. & http://www.macproxppics.com/ solve the SATA problem) - its beautiful.
But I have a strange problem. In WinXP after I choose Restart (or Shutting Down) sometimes I see the black screen (looks like the machine is getting restart) & hear HDD-working sound (trrr-trrr-trrr... etc.) And nothing happend! If I wait 1-3 minutes the HDD is sounded & nothing happend. If I restart Mac Pro manually (turn power switch) machine restarting & working. In OS X I never see this problem, but in WinXP this happents more than one times per day.
I check HDD in WinXP. The result is - HDD is clean.
OS X disk utility check - all okey.
What can I do?CORRECTION! I opened my Mac Pro & see - this is no HDD-problem. HDD works okey on startup.
This is DVD-R drive! Sometimes DVD-R drive front panel indicator ligth green (if Mac Pro case is closed - this indicator closed to...) & drive sounded 'trr-trrr-...' After 3 minutes ligts off & Mac Pro booting whithout problem.(DVD-R drive have no disk inside)
I need a service repair? -
2008 Mac Pro burner failure - report "Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR - Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03"
Problem just arose - burners working days ago - NO major changes in Mac Pro --- Attempting to burn some DVDs (data only), using the latest version of Toast v12.0 & Dragon Burn, as soon as I tell either my internal or external unit to burn, it runs a few minutes then pops up dialog box - "Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR - Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03". Blanks are new Memorex. I've restarted Mac Pro multiple times, still no burning possible. In dire need to restore capability. Most gracious thanks for ANY immediate assistance.
There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

Many random abrupt restarts with ML and my Mac Pro
Any help would be appreciated with this...
Ive recently clean installed Mountain Lion with only a handful of 3rd party apps on my 2009(?) Mac Pro and seem to be getting about 3-6 random Kernal Panics and/or abrupt restarts a day. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for them as they all happen when doing differant tasks. Last time it happened I was only browsing in Safari with itunes playing in the background. iTunes started to skip like a scratched record 4 or 5 times then suddenly the computer shut down and restarted itself. Below is the report that I sent to Apple. Any idea whats causing the problem or suggestions on a fix? If more info is required Id be happy to post. Thanks!

When I shut down the Mac Pro, it restarts
Has anyone run into this issue with their Mac Pro? When I shut down the computer (either via the Ctrl + Option + Cmd + Eject or the Shut Down command from the Apple menu drop down), the Mac Pro will simply restart and take me back to my log-in screen.
At this point, I can hit the shut down button on the login window and it will shutdown, but this is annoying, a waste of time, and unnecessary.
I have tried performing an SMC reset, but it has not resolved this issue.
Specs: Mac Pro (2010)
3.33 GHz 6-Core
(2) 2TB Internal HDD
12GB ram
ATI 5870 graphics card (1GB)I have noticed the exact same behaviour. It only happens when I have something plugged into one of the front USB ports (example : external HD, USB key)
Apparently the system crashes during the shut down process, and then reboots.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution -
Mac Pro 3,1 - freezes, shows strange pixels on screen and then restarts
My Mac Pro 3,1 sometimes freezes and shows strange pixelated objects on the screen and then restarts by itself. Is this a hardware issue or a software issue?
I'm running OS X Mavericks on it and everything is up to date. I have a lot of saved professional audio work on it that needs to be done and I can't afford to get a new Mac Pro. Any please help me out! Thanks a lot.Yes, there was a kernel panic today again.
Here is the report:

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

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. -
I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.
Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account. -
How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?
I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot. No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
Thanks!Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders. The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night. -
How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advanceYou are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart
