2007 Mac Pro screens with pixelated strange habits travel & can't access files or applications.

Have a 2007 Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon (OS 10.7.5). Today both screens started having strange pixelated, modes of travel, and we can not access files or applications.

Thought that maybe the video card went bad, but would not be prevented from using the apps, or click files would it? Have to keep restarting the box. Working temporarily, then pixilation and locked files races again.

Ideas or suggestions?  Don't know how to solve problems

Thank you!

Sara

-What video card is installed?

I suspect that the pixilation is due to a video card problem.

Open the cover, with Mac off nd unplugged and clean inside. If the map includes a fan make sure it turns freely.

-What do mean by "we can't access files or applications? What is going on?

  • 2007 Mac Pro HD hard drive enclosure?

    Hi, I have a 2007 Mac Pro, which I was not able to use for more than a year because my monitor has ceased to recognize it after that I tried upgrading my OS.  It may be a graphics card problem. I do not know.  I didn't spend the money on a new graphics card for such an old computer, and I already have a newer laptop now.

    At this point, I want to just put my old Mac Pro HD in an external enclosure so I can hope to access my data again.  I bought a box at Amazon based on previous research, but after the opening of the Mac Pro and looking at the HDs, the speaker, I purchased seems to be quite the size wrong.

    The HD is a Western Digital Caviar SE16.  Can someone tell me what kind of HD casing, I can get this would be?  I want to really just to get my old files and be done with the old Mac Pro.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    The Western Digital Caviar SE16 is a SATA standard 3 1/2 inches.

    Any attachment for a SATA 3 1/2 inch will work.

    What case did you buy?

    Was it for a SATA 2 1/2 inches or the older PATA/IDE drives?

    Good plan. Adobe apps like Nvidia graphics cards better than ATI/AMD and you can easily update the map

    Note the sleds of the 2006 Pro HD - 2008 Mac does not work in 2010-2012 Mac Pros.

    You can also install a blade SSD as boot drive. Very fast

    What is the destination folder that the date be underneath?  In the top right it says users who suggests, you try to put the photos on top of your username instead of under your username.  Maybe that's the problem.  So change your folder in the drop-down list at the bottom right of what it should be rather than users, and if you're going to show us the destination of your photos at least scroll through the list of folders down right so that we can see which is the white highlight.

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  • Installation of Win 7 Pro 64-bit on Mac Pro (Intel) with Boot Camp

    Trying to install OEM Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a Mac Pro (Intel based computer) using Boot Camp (with Apple OS X 10.6). The installation went well until the system reboots to the CD with the OEM Windows 7 drive in the Bay. At that time there a MS-DOS appears on the screen that looks like this:

    1.

    2.
    Select the Startup Type of the CD-ROM:

    There is a blinking cursor (line underscore) after the semicolon, but everything I type on the keyboard appears on the screen when the cursor blinks. I use a USB keyboard connected to the computer for the installation, so I know it works. This blocked me.

    Is it possible that the OEM version is causing this problem? Can I use a regular full version of Windows 7? Do not spend money to buy, then discover it displays the same screen.

    I'll check with both Apple Support, but it seems strange that everything went very well with the installation until the Windows 7 loaded into the Bay. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Are you sure you are using the right drive?

    The OEM versions include a disc OPK and the Windows 7 installation disc, make sure you use the right one.

    Also, insert the disc, press C on your keyboard and select the Windows 7 disc to boot from it.

  • Mac Pro equipped with graphics cards

    (1) Apple certified repair done remarkable work or replacement of these cards, seemed as it did thousands due to schools, universities, colleges had all the problems that I did.

    (2) now did the-d option to initialize the data sent to Apple and have assigned Senior Adviser.

    (3) most recent problem is error codes and system dead slow on my second Mac Pro 6 hearts. Now, does not see my Amd hardware, which is extremely strange to say the least.

    (4) 2 weeks no words or calls returned Senior Advisor, still more serious delays to write make some income with new Mac Pro.

    (5) what did not work is not, the example is iMovie stutters sound.

    (6) final Cut Pro sound of of synk

    (7) k video from my new iPad Pro 4 who made 4 K video sent to dump not recognized on Mac Pro system after that reminder of graphics cards has been made.

    so waiting for words from Apple on the d option played 4 times.

    Nope... but... all I can do is give you my experience. I got a G5 liquid that had major failure 3 times (was under AppleCare) and has been replaced with a Mac pro. I guess you have tried the usual, killer stuff pram resetting the PMU, trying to reinstall and update the operating system and various applications to this topic and all that, and... nothing. Apple does not read or respond to these forums, cmdrDenis, this place is strictly a user forum, and that's all. Save all your receipts, paperwork, document as much as you can and when you talk to Apple or an adviser, be polite, but pragmatic.  Screaming, yelling, Ranting and raving you will get very far.  If you go to apple.com/feedback and leave a comment there, someone can get back to you. Call the main line from Apple can be useful too, but about what, when and how

    I can't say. Apple * may *, in its sole discretion, replace a machine that has had too many major repairs, or repair, but it's Apple to do.  Maybe if you call your local Apple place, explain the situation calmly and kindly and ask to speak to another senior consultant or Manager, perhaps they can help you.

  • CC 2014 Illustrator EXTREMELY slow race on nine Core Mac Pro 6 with Ram 64Gbs. It's not right :(

    Hello

    I just picked up a new kernel 6 Mac Pro and I'm having some serious lag with Illustrator CC 2014 issues. I'm just trying to select relatively simple objects (an illustration on the side of a coin) and there is a huge delay between when I click on an object and when it is actually selected.

    Someone please tell me they know how to fix it? Please

    My company recently "upgraded" my OS to Windows 8.1. (an operating system prior to Windows 8) and I am now terrible performance when you use Illustrator CC 2014. (2014.1.0 release - 18.1.0 (64 bit)). More problematic is that every 5-10 seconds the screen goes black (not answer) for 3 seconds. I had a similar problem with Illustrator CS a year or two ago - I solved this problem by disabling the automatic update of the linked files. So, I'm suspicious that this problem has also something to do with the Illustrator accesses the server, but in this case I don't know which opens access to the server.

    Another colleague of mine using Windows 8 downgraded from "Illustrator CC 2014" to "Illustrator CC" and no longer has the problem of hic - up (unresponsive). "."

  • How do synchronize you Mac Pro calendar with other devices

    I keep all my calendar events on my Mac Pro.  I like to see this calendar on all my devices. However, the devices either show some events, duplicates or anything.  What should I do to synchronize all the?

    Calendars sync-ing in more complicated than expected.

    To synchronize a calendar, this calendar must be stored in a location that is accessible by Internet. If you have Apple devices, the natural situation is iCloud.

    You must have your sync-able calendar stored in iCloud, then you need grant access to other users on this server, by setting her up (easier on your Mac) so that others have the right to see.

  • Strange question WLAN - can't access secure sites

    Hello!

    I just bought a Toshiba L100-120. All right, except the following.

    I can't access the sites secured with the Intel 3945abg built-in. Other sites are OK.

    If I connect LAN, all is well. If I insert my Wireless PCMCIA card, it works also. The only problem is: to access the sites secured with the Intel wireless device.

    I already changed the drivers, I tried everything. It's very strange :(

    Thanks a lot if someone has an idea!

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused of Mr. do you mean WLan secure or secure Web sites?

    If you can not enter the secure, encrypted WiFi network, you must enter the right key.
    In other cases, so some Web sites are not displayed you can try changing the privacy settings of IE for the Internet zone.
