Strange MacPro startup issues

I'm having the strangest issues with my MacPro. If I start it up it will go through the Apple logo screen with gears, then it goes to a blue screen and instantly into a black screen with the mouse icon. It stays at the black screen and when I move the mouse it makes a duplicate mouse so one pointer is in the top left and the other pointer moves with the mouse. I know the system is running behind this black screen as I can use key commands to shut down the machine (control-eject + return).
I can use another machines clean 10.5.2 install as target disc mode and it does the same thing. I can do a single user startup just fine and also a safeboot (holding shift) just fine without the black screen issue. So I'm thinking there is an extension that is causing this problem that safeboot doesn't load. But what's also strange is when I startup off the Leopard DVD it has the same black screen issue.
This is just really confusing me and I'm not sure what to do next besides replace the logic board. Does anybody have any suggestions or seen anything similar?
Thanks in advance,
Kye

I'm as clueless as you.

Currently my Mac Pro is sitting somewhere inside an Apple Store for a week...
I thought if it can't boot off of the DVD installer (with an empty HD pretending to install a new OS X copy), then it's a hardware problem. I even took out all the HD and tried to boot from the DVD installer.
My advice to you is that if you want to get your Mac Pro repaired, don't bother calling up AppleCare, they can't do much for you. I thought they were going to send me a box so I can put my Mac Pro in and wasted a week finding out they gave me the wrong information. They told me they only do it for laptops or small products. You need to bring it to an Apple Store or an authorized seller who can do Carry-in repairs.

  • New StartUp Issue

    My new MacBook Pro 17" has been having startup issues recently. After I shut down, leave, and come back, the startup issue occurs.
    After pressing the power button, fans will go on, proccessing noises occur, HOWEVER, it just boots to a white/grey screen W/OUT the apple logo or round loading bar. The keyboard does not initialize either.
    The only thing that I have found to 'fix' it, is just to leave it powered off for an extended period of time. It will then boot up.
    I have tried many non-software related 'cures', and my compuer is completely up to date on all OsX software.
    Any ideas guys??

    you can try to boot to safe mode ( restart holding Shift )
    - you can attempt to boot to install disc and disk utility
    - you can boot to AHT ( apple hardware test ) to see what component is failing ( insert disc, restart holding D )
    - chances are, this is a hardware issue though. you will probably need repairs.

  • Startup issue - Process 'Starting Framework'

    Hi
    I seem to have a startup issue with NM2004s.  I get a Half Green/ Half Yellow icon in the MMC.  The 01 instance is always yellow and never progresses onto green.  I have a process status of 'starting framework'.
    Anyone else had this issue?
    Cheers
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
      I just installed the J2E on a laptop that already has a NSP instance.I am facing the same issue on the J2E.Do you remember if you could resolve this and how?
      Any hints would help.
    Thank you

  • Essbase server startup issue

    Hi All,
    We are encountering a strange essbase server issue. We installed all products on Hyperion suite 11.1.2.2 on 64bit windows and successfully configured too(atleast as per message pane)
    All services are up and running including Oracle Process Manager(Essbase.exe running in processes). But when we open EAS console and try to add Essbase server, it doesnt add but there is no error message as well. The window just stays and hangs.
    2 things we tried:
    1. Navigated to C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin and ran startessbase - it runs fine...message says..started successfully..opmn service started(we found essbase.exe in processes too) but still same issue from EAS console
    2. We go to the path D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin and then from cmd prompt...started "essbase" and then it works.,
    So as 2 is working, we copied the path to "path" environment variables and created couple of them as well ESSBASEPATH and ARBORPATH., tried to again start services or run startessbase.cmd....but no use.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
    Regards
    Sri

    Thanks All, appreciate your support.
    I tried below
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>start opmnctl
    Below is the result
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>opmnctl validate
    opmnctl validate: succeeded.
    Next I tried below
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>opmnctl startall
    opmnctl startall: starting opmn and all managed processes...
    D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin>
    Then I tried to login MaxL. I am unable to login to MaxL
    Once I give this command - MAXL> login admin 'password' on xx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
    It goes to next line and stops at ""_
    On the opmn log this is what I see...and in the essbase server .cfg file....it doesnt have netdelay and retrycount numbers...will that cause any issue?

  • Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

    Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
    I’ve installed two databases.
    When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
    Startup pfile=’…location..’;
    I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
    when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
    Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
    I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
    I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
    Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
    Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
    Thanks,
    Ayman

    When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
    Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
    Next ... from the command prompt:
    set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
    Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
    From the same command prompt session or other ....
    set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

  • Another startup-issue

    I have a problem with system startup. My MacBook is pretty much brand new and the system is not cluttered or anything. And still the startup-process freezes even before the apple logo appears, so I just get the grey screen and that's it. I have read about other startup issues, but in those cases the computer at least booted until the apple logo was shown, so my case is slightly different.
    After unplugging my external USB hard drive startup works. It also works when I plug it into the other USB-slot. Other devices plugged into the problematic slot (keyboard, USB-stick) work and do not cause problems during startup.
    Any experiences with this problem? Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way? Is it something that can be fixed?
    Ordinarily, I would just use the other slot and be done with it. Since the computer is brand new, however, I'd prefer to be on the safe side.
    Thanks in advance,
    Timo

    Hi
    +"Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way?"+
    Possibly? Running an Apple Hardware Test might say?
    +"Is it something that can be fixed?"+
    Yes. It should be covered under the standard 1 year warranty regardless. Provided the fault is not down to wilful or accidental damage it will be covered under the warranty.
    You could connect the external USB hard drive in the affected slot an restart the mac in verbose mode (command+v) at restart. This should display error messages - if any - at the point where the start-up stalls. Possibly giving a clue as to what it's having a problem with? You may see an I/OKit error problem or something similar?

  • Have any ideas re: G5 startup issues? Long post...

    My dual processor G5 (purchased Jan. 2005) is in the shop, and, of course, out of warranty. It's been down for over two weeks. Here is the story of its demise:
    Installed 10.4.9 upgrade. Began having "launch systems" and crashdump/usb crash errors thereafter. Not a lot of info online regarding these problems, so I decided to do an archive and re-install of my system software.
    Started having intermittent problems restarting the G5. Either it would chime, but not kick on the monitor, chime and kick on the monitor but hang at the grey apple startup screen, or not chime at all, with which only the fans would come on. Apple Extended Hardware Test came back OK. Still had problems after removing my USB devices.
    Problems continued after the reinstall of the system software, eventually to the point where I could not even boot from a CD. When the G5 did operate, after a short period of use it would freeze, and I would have to force a restart and pray it would boot up completely. It would reliably freeze after waking it from sleep, but also froze in iPhoto and Finder as well.
    I have tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM with no improvement. Took it to an Apple Authorized Service Center, luckily only a couple miles from where I work. They tried booting with the Apple RAM only, then the third party RAM only, no improvement. Hard drive was completely reformatted and system reinstalled, no improvement. I am waiting to hear what else they've tried.
    My G5's serial # falls outside of those involved with the power supply issues. Yet, could this be a possibility? Any other ideas as to what the problem could be, or has anyone had similar issues?
    I freelance as a graphic designer and this has me in a panic. Now using the hubby's Intel iMac to run CS2 and it's a drag.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi and thanks for the input. I just spoke to the Apple service guy and he still insists there is not a hardware issue. Apparently there is an Apple technical doc, available only to authorized techs, that refers to this particular issue, and the fix is a download and install (firmware, perhaps?) He has to contact Apple and confirm my G5 is within the serial # range for this particular fix.
    That's my best interpretation of our discussion. He was rather cryptic. But he says it's not the power supply.
    I did an archive and install because, like an idiot, I did not have anything backed up at that point. After that failed, I used up my stash of DVDs and copied gigs to our iMac until the G5 gave out. I had run the hardware test several times and each time came back clean.
    Permissions were repaired before and after updates; had it freeze a couple times mid-update. Tried booting in safe mode and single-user mode and still had the same startup issues.
    To add insult to injury, I purchased a LaCie Porsche external drive as an eventual backup drive whenever the G5 returns. Hooked it up to our iMac to backup the items I saved off the G5. It failed after the second use. Returned for replacement.
    Thanks.

  • Black Macbook Startup Issues

    Hey guys.
    I'm having a distressful startup issue with my Macbook (13-inch, black). It's happened to me before, but that was a few months ago and everything was fine. Now it's happening again and I'm getting worried that the workaround I've found won't work anymore.
    The first time it happened, I wanted to restart my computer because I had installed a bunch of things and it was running a little slow. After I restarted, I heard the "GONG", the apple appeared, and the spinning gear also appeared. It seemed to be working, but after a few minutes, the apple changed to a "do not enter" sign.
    I tried resetting the P-RAM to no avail, and finally ended up starting up in Safe Mode (by holding the Shift Key) which at least allowed me to start up my computer. From there, I was able to reset and my computer started up normally after that just fine.
    Now, last night, the same thing started happening. There were a few different things that happened this time. For one, I got a big gray box on my screen that told me I needed to reset my computer in a few different languages. Secondly, (the only thing I can attribute the cause to) was that I had opened iChat for the first time in 5 months or so. Shortly after is when I got the box.
    So I reset and started having the same problem. I've reset in safe mode now, and am currently installing an update to OSX 10.6.3.
    The only programs running at the time of the incident were:
    -Google Chrome
    -Text Edit
    -iCal
    -iTunes
    Any help you guys have for me would be GREATLY appreciated! I took it to an Apple store the first time it happened and they didn't know what was wrong with it. :/

    Well, after booting in Safe Mode and installing the update, it started up just fine. I am afraid that this is going to happen again, though. Any help you guys have would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 - Startup issue from bad to worse

    I was facing similar startup issues like others (abrupt shutdown). I saw posts with similar issue so I tried the method (F1 on startup then F9 and F10) but ended up making things worse. Now it won't boot at all. Goes to "Windows didn't start successfully" and I have tried every single option (safe mode, last known good config and normal start) but nothing works.
    Any suggestion?

    remove the hdd and use linux live cd to check if it boots.

  • Intermittent Startup Issues, Fan Reving

    Has anyone else had startup issues with the G5's? I have had to re-seat memory in my lab on 3 machines and this seems, so far, to have alleviated the problem.
    The funny thing is I have had these machines for about 8 months and never had this problem. My computers are locked and access to the physical memory is impossible.
    Just curious?
    Once I tried to run in Open Firmware the computer beeped 3 times, thus telling me it was a memory issue. Each of the machines exhibited different symptoms??? One was caught in the blue screen. One in the gray screen with neverending fan reving and spinning startup wheel. Lastly, a frozen computer (in an account) where all keyboard and mouse commands are not recognized. Upon hard shutdown and restart either this machine ended up stuck in gray screen **** or started ok.

    Yeah, if you are in a humid lab (i.e. animal research lab) or some other unique environment sometimes the conditions can be less than ideal.
    Most electromechanical connections, such as the slots where the RAM plug in or PCI card slots or cable connections, are more apt to become less than optimal in such a condition.
    Another problem tends to be that the G5 is a hunk of cold metal when powered down or even sleeping and in a cold room. Humidity loves to condense on cold metal and has been known to cause problems.
    However, since all you have had to do thus far is re-seat the RAM, the impact seems to be minimal at this time.

  • Strange Cluster Startup Timing Issues (Solaris 2.7)

              When we start up our admin server for our WLS 6.0sp1 cluster (running on Solaris
              2.7), then try to start all the managed servers approximately simultaneously,
              the managed servers come up apparently normally (no errors in the logs) but no
              EJBs ever deploy.
              If we follow the same steps, but wait until each server is all the way up before
              starting the next, everything is fine.
              Has anyone else run into this?
              -daniel
              

    Hmm, I wonder if they "cannot" or "will not" supply you the patch...
              Oh well, hopefully this won't get me in trouble! Here's the patch, stick it in your weblogic /lib
              directory or in CLASSPATH, and add the following to your startup command:
              -Dweblogic.rmi.queuesize=n
              And if you are having problems, don't tell BEA who gave this to you! :-)

  • MacPro Startup Stalls-then boots to wrong drive

    Greetings! I am stumped. My trusty MacPro (dual 3ghz-quadcore) has started to exhibit strange behavior on startup. A few days ago the startup was interupted by what I thought sounded like a failing drive (hic-pause-hic), so I did a fresh install of Lion on another internal drive to head off disaster. That was fine for a few days, but now things have taken a mysterious turn for the worse.
    Once the start button is pressed, I get the led light on the button, the monitor shows white/grey the fans spin up and then stop, and then it just sits there, silent. Here's the weird thing... after waiting and watching that white screen for almost 20 minutes, it suddenly booted into my former Snow Leopard drive and started fine.
    I am unable to influence the startup in any way. That is, I can't start in single-user mode or select the startup disk by using keyboard commands since the startup is effectively stalled on that white screen.
    I have reset the SMC, unplugged an external esata card and did a dust removal. But, since the computer does not respond to startup keyboard commands, I'm not sure how to proceed further.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions on how to pin down the issue.

    I wish Apple Support and Knowledge Base (Tech notes and articles) were easy to use.
    Lion has Recovery mode - that is available at startup.
    Command + R gets you there and best and maybe only way to repair a disk directory.
    You never want to repair a drive with anything older than what you run.
    So learn to find a way to use CMD - R and also to CLONE your system
    Other commands at startup, Safe Mode (Shift), Single Usere (S) and Verbose (V)
    TimeMachine backup - 2TB WD Green
    Clone the system drive - WD Black 1.5TB $107 also makes a nice fast boot drive if you aren't ready for $200 120GB SSD

  • Hard drive startup issues after extended sleep/shutdown

    Hello,
    When I put my iMac to sleep or shut it off for an extended period of time (overnight) and then try to wake it up or turn it on, the iMac makes a strange clicking noise and freezes.
    After manually shutting down and restarting it one or more times it will startup fine.
    Putting to sleep/shutting down the computer for short periods of time doesn't cause any problems.
    So when this first started happening I though "Uh oh, hard drives going to that great recycling depot in the sky."
    But, Disk Utility, Apple's hardware test, and TechTool Pro 4 all find nothing wrong with my system.
    Is there any chance this could not be an hard drive issue? Or should I just get the drive replaced and stop trying to diagnose the problem?

    You've covered the biggies already - I'd recommend a trip to the Apple store or at least a call to AppleCare. Back in the late 80's and early 90's 'stiction' was a serious problem with hard drives. A hard drive motor has very low torque; it can spin fast but it doesn't have much oomph and the lubricant used back then could harden overnight so that when the computer was booted up the drive's motor couldn't spin up the platters. Improvements in lubricants have made stiction less common today but it hasn't been eradicated and it is one of the things that might be affecting your drive. At any rate, since I can't put your computer on my bench, the best call I can make is for you to make a call. Sorry.

  • MacPro power issue

    I have recently starting experiencing a very strange problem with my 2008 Mac Pro. It has been upgraded to all the latest software updates i.e. 10.7.2 so I cannot rule out any of these causing the problem.  The issue is that when I restart my Macpro I get the usual note and then the 30" Cinema screen remains black even though its little white power light is on. If I turn it right off and then on again on the front power stitch I get the same problem. However If I remove the powwr lead from the machine entirely and the  plug it in again the machine starts up again without any problems. That is until it needs to restart again and then I'm back to a black screen. These symptons are entirely reproducable all the time. Can anyone identify what is the likely cause of this problem. Could it be a failing power supply or something else?

    Do you have a backup of Snow Leopard or your original installer disk to see if your 30" works with those?
    You could try smc and pram reset just for the heck of it.
