Why wont my Mac Pro Start?!?

Hello All
My Mac Pro (Early 2008) has begun acting strange. It wont power on.
I have done some trouble shooting (Removed all attached Devices (USB, ESATA, NETWORK,) Basically the only thing plugged in the rear is USB for keyboard / mouse and 1 DVI Monitor Hook up.
I replaced the power cable (Jug Cord), changed which wall socket the power plugs into.... but still it wont start.
A fix is to Pull Out the power cord from rear of MAC Pro, leave out for about 1 minute and then plug it back in. I hear it click and then it will start up once i press the power button. However once I Power back down, same problem.
Is this a faulty PSU? Or is there an internal Battery that could be causing problem?
I have tried removing the ram sticks also, same problem.
MAX OSX 10.6.8

Interesting, so putting a ATI 5770 means i cant boot from DVD? How come?! What if i need to re install OS from DVD?
Secondly, i was reading apple website http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3891
Mac Pro: Using ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with Mac Pro released before 2010
Symptoms
You may notice display anomalies or issues playing back video or other HDCP-encoded content when you use an ATI Radeon HD 5770 video card in Mac Pro computers released before the Mac Pro (Mid 2010).
Resolution
The ATI Radeon HD 5770 video cards are supported only on Mac Pro (Mid 2010) models. They are not supported in earlier versions of Mac Pro. Learn more about graphics card compatibility for Mac Pro.
Then It says:
Graphics cards for Mac Pro (Early 2008)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (part number 630-9191 or 630-9897)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
ATI Radeon HD 4870, offered as an upgrade kit
Note: The Radeon HD 4870 card requires Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later for use with the Mac Pro (Early 2008).
Can someone tell me, whats the difference between all the 4870 Cards?
This one is $130

This one (refurbished yes) Is less than $50: Will this one work in my Mac Pro??!?

I dont really have $200+ for a 5770 Card now.

Why wont my Mac pro start if a usb drive is connected?

....even if an empty little mac os journelled 250mb flash drive is inserted on startup, osx kinda waits until i pull it out to move off the white screen and give me the desktop...
its not a big problem because as soon as i disconnect any usb device it gets going but i was just wondering if anyone knew why it does it and if it could possibly highlight any bigger issues?
thanks,
steve

I am having the same problem. I got a 1.5TB Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive. It was brand new but formatted Fat Dos. I used disk utility to partition the drive (only way it would format it) to the choice for GUID or something that said it would work with intel mac. I got the drive working fine showing up in finder etc. I rebooted the computer and it hung on a gray screen and eventually a folder with a question mark came up flashing. If I hit the power button on the Mac pro and disconnect the usb drive it boots fine. If I restart the computer without the drive attached it boots fine. If the drive is connected it will not reboot. Does the Mac think that the USB drive is the boot drive? How would this happen and how would I correct it? I need to use this drive as a backup drive for Time Machine as my time capsule is full. Please help

Why won't my macbook pro play youtube videos?

Why wont my macbook pro play youtube videos????
I bought this over the summer and it's now Nov 28th. I've had it with this thing and nobody is answering my question! Please help!
I reset safari, emptied my cache, cleared my history, uninstalled and re-installed flash player and nothing has helped. In fact, un/reinstalling flash player worsened the problem. And I cannot update it becuase it says "not recognized".
I do have avast anti-virus: but I can't fix the warnings in it (after I scan, some warnings popup and it wont let me fix it and I have no idea where to find it in the computer itself). Does this have anything to do with it? I need virus protection, so I dont want to get rid of it.
I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
I know it's not my internet because my dad's pc works great and my sister's mac (for school) loads youtube videos instantly.
I also have this annoying issue where every page on the interned needs to be reloaded three times before itll load the first time. It sits there for five minutes and does nothing, then I reload the page and BAM its loaded: EXCEPT YOUTUBE.
For a $1400 machine, I'd like to know what and why this is happening.

Perhaps there is something wrong with your software and/or a corrupt cache file outside of the browser.

Hmm hard to tell what's causing this. May have to do a process of elimination to cure everything on the machine.

Uninstall the anti-virus, they always cause issues on Mac's.
You say you need anti-virus, so install the free ClamXav, it's a program you run as you need it, because 99% of the malware out there is for Windows and won't run on a Mac, thus you can just run ClamXav when you need it on where you need it. Won't bugger up the machine.
I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
Firefox is a free web browser by the open source community, it's very powerful and highly customizable with more add-ons, extensions, personas, themes than any other browser. Some things can be done on Firefox can't be done on any other browser at all. Certainly for someone who is a bit more seasoned to use it fully.

You mentioned your "dad" and you've mentioned a delay loading pages and not YouTube at all.
Are you by any chance the Administrator of the computer? Can you install Firefox if you wanted too just as a experiment or does it ask for a Admin name and password and you can't provide it?
"Nannyware" has the ability to block sites and slow down page draws as it's consulting with the nannyware company if that site is suitable to be loaded on your machine.
If your are the Admin of the machine, then your going to have to methodically go through the fix it list I've generated here to resolve your issue as I cant' tell what's causing your problem specifically behind a screen.
If it's too much for you, take the machine to a local Mac/PC software repair shop and they can fix you up.
I suspect by #12 your machine will be fixed.

Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector. This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it? Please help.
Thank you

Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

Sapphire HD 7950 Mac Pro Edition 3GB Video Card

I am thing about putting in this video card in my Mac Pro 2008.
Sapphire HD 7950 Mac Pro Edition 3GB Video Card
What do the apple support Communities think about is Card?

I have been using this card For one month now in Mac Pro 3.1 early 2008 model.
works great in Lion. This weekend I upgraded to Mountain Lion and screen rarely
might flash on left mouse clicks in firefox 23 and 22 web browsers.All other applications,
especially X Plane and on the windows 7 ultimate bootcamp disc with Flight sim X and
2004 run fantastic with extremely high frame rates

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple book store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.

Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
hard drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time.

Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive?

Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive? Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?

Because Apple did not put one in there.

We can't really answer that, but it would not surprise me. More and more of the computers being produced by Apple lack an internal optical drive. If you really need one, get an external such as LowLuster suggests.
Best of luck.

Go to your email provider's setup page and check what the settings for the SMTP server are supposed to be. Most good providers will even have instructions on how to set up Mac Mail.

Why does my Mac Pro try to start up from a blank drive?

I fitted a 2nd drive to my 2006 Mac Pro in anticipation of dual booting Windows (not done yet). The dive is FAT formatted but is empty. Why does the Mac Pro try to boot up from that drive every time I start it up, despite having set the startup disc as OS X in the System Prefs?! Getting sick of seeing the flashing folder with the question mark evry time I start it up.

I might be inclined to think the problem is really on your startup drive. You might try reinstalling Snow Leopard.
Also, try:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Windows and Mac Pro w/ Apple RAID card

It happened i have a need to run Windows natively on Mac Pro with Apple RAID card installed.
I know there is no Windows driver for that card, but i had a hope to bypass RAID card via connecting of internal SATA drive directly to iPass(SSF-8087) connector of Mac Pro's motherboard and using of that drive for Windows.
So, i've connected SATA drive this way and it works fine with OS X.
But i can't even try it with Windows because Mac Pro doesn't boot up from Windows installation CD if Apple RAID card installed
Empty black text console is all that i've got after selecting of Windows installation CD in EFI boot menu.
I need a suggestion how to bypass my problem, or generally speaking, how to install Windows onto Mac Pro with Apple RAID card.

I've tried that.
Installation and booting of WinXP passed OK if RAID card removed.
But i've got black screen again trying to boot WinXP after RAID card re-installed.

Why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?

why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?
I always enjoyed speccing up machines that i will one day upgrade to.

HT1218 I pad and mac pro including apple store, accept my apple password but the HD TV apple movies does not. I worked fine until two weeks ago.

My apple password works with IPad,mac pro and apple store. Apple movies do not accept the same password. It all worked fine until three weeks ago.I have changed nothing

Username and password are not apparently an Apple Care issue they refer you to iTunes support (email) to resolve this issue with iTunes and Netflix account

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share? We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders. This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both. I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.
