• Mac Pro 3.1 installation GTX770 and Adobe Creative Suite 2015

  Hi all

  I plan to upgrade my Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) with a GTX 770 (now I have a Geforce 8800 GT) and then install the latest Adobe Creative Suite 2015.

  Did anyone see any problem in this scenario?

  Thank you

  Luca

  I don't see any problem.

• When using OS 10.11.4 after using Safari for a few minutes, the system freezes, the only way to UN - freeze is to close the system with the power switch on my Mac Pro early 2008. Any ideas?

  When you use Safari on my system Mac Pro 8 core early 2008 if will freeze with no other way to free it up it's close with the power button.  Any ideas?

  Once you can restart go immediately to disk utilities and run repair disk permissions.

  When is check your Safari to make sure you have the version appropriate for your machine.

• How to upgrade the graphics card (gtx 770 or 980) on Mac Pro 3.1 (2008)?

  Hey,.

  I am looking to update my graphics card on my Mac Pro 3.1 - I currently have a GTX 660ti but I was looking to upgrade to a GTX 770 or, if possible GTX980.

  I have a few questions (GTX 770):

  • Power required: I found a tutorial , but I'm still not sure if the GTX 770 will draw too much power from the PSU?  The TDU is 230w and there are a lot of online chat on do not go above 225w.  I also noticed that my mac pro 3.1 is about 980w - so I'm confused as to why the limit of 225w has been mentioned (something to do with the power being driven by pci slots?)
  • Wiring: The gtx 770 has 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8-pin connectors.  What/how should I connect to these terminals?  The tutorial mentions buying a Y 2 x 6-pin connector.  Is anyone able to confirm this?
  • Experience: Are confirmed cases of the GTX 770 works on a mac pro 3.1?

  Finally - I wonder about a 770GTX since I.  What is the best card (for games) that confirmed cases of work with the 2008 3.1 mac pro?

  Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

  The location PCle supplies 75 watts max. Each of the two connectors on the system board each supply 75 watts max.

  So, you can get 225 watts which for me is pretty close to 230 watts.

• AHT inconsequential error Ram 4MEM (Mac Pro 4.1)

  Hi all.

  Something weird going on here. Evil Finder behave sometimes (especially with the readers of WebDAV connected cloud/external) and Photoshop don't... Well well... strange things. So I thought I would check my material with AHT.

  I have a Mac Pro 4.1 / 2.93 GHz Quad with 24 GB of RAM: 2 x 4 and 2 x 8 GB. AHT reports a RAM error (4MEM). So I removed all the DIMMS and test began with the two 4 GB ones and AHT returned an error (4MEM) RAM. When I test both 4 GB modules in AHT 1 and 2 housing reports and a mistake. When I test a single module of 4 GB in slot 1 or 2, I get no error 4MEM. So the two modules installed together DIMMS = error. Installed individually don't = "no found prolems.

  In addition, 4MEM errors seem incompatible:

  65/4MEM/40000006: 0X799D7C18

  9/4MEM/40000006: 0X799D2998

  Then, I tested all of the 24 GB of RAM with MemTest86 CD but he could not find any problems.

  Someone has an idea, what happens?

  It would be really good if, when an error has been detected, memory modules would all just dropping dead, problems would be easy to isolate. But this isn't the case. Memory problems are difficult to find, they come and go, it is very difficult to 'catch them in the Act. Synthetic patterns of tests memory do not always generate the same failure that made a running system.

  But your money Mac Pro tower with processor Xeon processor uses memory RAM of code of error correction. Modules of memory have eight extra in addition to the 64 data bits control bits, as well as your Xeon processor use on all references to memory.

  On writing, permutations of parity on the subsets manufactured with care the data bits are stored in the extra bits '' syndrome. '' On reading, a lot of correction and error detection can occur. Mistakes single-bit are detected and hardware corrects these errors in tense cycle of memory, without any software intervention. Error indicators are read from time to time in the background, and the results are recorded by the memory module.

  Generally, a benarde error cannot be corrected, so to design this cause your Mac to stop during a panic machine control, core, often detected by multiple processors to prevent the poisoning of your data.

  Errors counters can be read by the memory of the about this Mac report:

  

  chart de.com

  your report will be slightly different, but the information it presents is STATIC - for updated information, you must refresh the report or call it again.

  Many tests memory of third parties are not designed to run on a Mac with memory error correction. As simple mistakes are corrected in Hardware on-the-fly, they aren't.

  In addition, the error correction is used very aggressively at the start. The reasoning is that the nay errors that occur in these seconds must be so severe that the modules must not be used by the system, and their locations will be marked "void".

  Any module that is seen as BAD in any situation is really BAD, even if they suffer later. If your Mac was overheating for a different reason, which may explain why the modules tested bad is perhaps the only excuse. If you eliminate overheating, these modules may be ok later.

• end of 2013 Mac Pro self begins with red light under DIMM 3

  My end of 2013 "trash" Mac Pro has an intermittent problem on start up - this can take up to 8 auto restarts before it starts to fully operational status. During these reboots red lights are visible through the base, in the area of the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. This happens in about 3-4 times when the Mac Pro is started first thing in the morning. Sometimes - but rarely - it will also restart after a period of normal operation.

  Run diagnostics and, before one of the operations described below, this indicates that all was well but the 2 just many times where I ran diagnosis, he pointed out that no WiFi interface has been installed. Have also run Memtest that since several days of testing, running as a single user with multiple passes, says memory all OK.

  Have tried resetting the SMC both NVRAM and update of the OS. Removed and reinstall the RAM modules. After the reinstallation of modules, first start only registered DIMM 1 & 2 modules. There seems to be no problem with the seating, nothing loose or place and taken liberation were entirely home. Next and all subsequent boots saved all 4 modules.

  A day of immediate bootups without problem but then, first thing this morning, had two cottages restarts during startup. I gave the 2nd boot press / press and hold the 'on' then booted diagnosis - no problem not indicated. On the startup resulting, everything was fine.

  I guess the problem is in, either the GPU or with 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Can someone tell me the meaning of red lights? Diagnosis would be easier if I knew.

  Hello Bob,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that you have found a red flashing in the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Typically, this indicates a bad RAM module or the module is not seated properly. I see you have already done the troubleshooting that I would have recommended. So, unless you have third-party RAM installed in your Mac Pro, I suggest you take a look at the following link to access the service options for your computer.

• Mac Pro keeps stopping, lightweight CPU a / b overtemp on

  I bought a used Apple Mac Pro 2.1 in December.  I use it mainly for editing my photos on Adobe PS, using filter of camera RAW.  The unit never gave me any problems, until early last week.  Here are the specs:

  | 8-CORE 3.0Ghz (2 x Quad-Core)

  | 32 GB OF RAM

  | 250 GB SSD

  | V RAM OF 4 GB GTX-680

  | Double BONE - El Capitan (primary) and Yosemite on two separate boot disks.

  All started early last week, with an error screen when I open an CR2 on Adobe PS file.  I got this message...

  "Camera Raw has temporarily disabled acceleration graphics processor because of the error." Update your graphics card driver may solve the problem. "Choose the option 'Use the graphics processor' in the dialog box Camera Raw prefer to re - enable GPU support.

  In 5 minutes, I when preferences and choose 'use the graphics processor', then continued my work.  Subsequently, the Mac suddenly stops without any warning whatsoever! No message, no noise from the tower itself, the power light remained.  I then turned off the power.  I waited for a minute and he went back on.  The password screen, it would be closed again.

  I then let the rest of the machine for 30-45 minutes, removed any buildup of dust inside using compressed air and turned on the unit return to perform minor troubleshooting. as well as other "light work" to avoid an overload of the system... He will stop in 35 minutes to turn on the machine.

  Still, I unplugged everything (including the power cord) to reinstall the two riser cards. I powered the Mac with the access panel open, to keep an eye on something unusual.  All fans are smooth running, no sign of problems.  Until I updated the driver (Nvidia Cuda) GPU, the machine will stop again in 10 minutes!  Frustrated, I opened the side panel to only discover, both red lights (CPU A / B) on the section of the overheating of the logic board.  After the recharge time, I restarted the MAC and ran a tempature monitor I have installed.  I noticed the radiator of the Northbridge turned very quickly when I was running Adobe PS, please refer to the picture I have attached.

  

  I have no idea what to do next.  I'm not sure if I need a replacement PSU, or something else entirely.  Pointers, help and/or advice.  I greatly appreciate 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.

  < published by host >

  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.

• Mac Pro RAM, Audio, Bluetooth mouse problems

  I recently bought an Apple factory refurbished Mac Pro (end 2013) and replaced the three-chip RAM of 4 GB with 16 GB of Crucial two chips. Everything was great for the first two weeks. Then I started having a strange audio problem. Audio would become suddenly agitated. I disconnected and reconnected the speaker output and it would start working again. Finally, unplug the unit and plug the unit has stopped working (audio would eventually just stop working completely... zero sound with or without the speaker plugged in...) and I had to restart the computer.

  Then one day I noticed that only 16 GB of RAM showed up (I run own memory, so he's in my toolbar). I opened the machine and moved the two chips on the other side and when I rebooted, I got 32GB again.

  Then I noticed that when the audio problem came once again (he seems to be after the computer has been for a few hours or more) my Apple bluetooth mouse would disconnect and reconnect intermittently... ONLY when the audio starts to get restless again.

  I zapped the PRAM several times and now I get the 32 GB of RAM only after disconnecting the chips and MOVING them to another location, but not all the time. The audio port will begin to spoil, I reboot and I'm back to 16 GB.

  So, is it bad RAM? I removed a single chip and the audio problem still happens.

  Anyone have this problem? Apple Care suggested I bring it in the Apple Store, but I thought that I ask here before go this road, just in case there is a known issue.

  Thank you!!

  Rick...

  To establish if it is a RAM problem, remove 16Bb sticks and replace the original 4 GB sticks.

• Mac Pro 2.1 starts do not

  Hi all

  My old Mac Pro 2.1 (2007) worked ok until a month ago.  Then, he stopped starting.  It will be just off the phone with the gray screen at startup.

  So when I do the recovery with cmd + R powered mode, it displays a gray screen with a battery of short horizontal lines, and it will sit there for days.

  The Mac Pro has 8 MB of RAM, graphics card is Nvidia 7300 with 256 MB of video Ram and OS x version 10.4

  No idea what it could be? The test equipment with the OSX DVD shows no error on hardware.

  When I try to reinstall the os x, then it will keep showing a message "Please restart your computer by putting out", and it will just continue to do that.

  Forward your info, advice and help on this.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Budkor, it may be a bad graphics card. Align on any Apple for a free diagnosis. You will need to have the repair made to a FSAA (Apple authorized Service Provider) or Apple filing for lower prices. The AHT is not very reliable to find problems. Apple has much better proprietary software to diagnose your hardware.

• The Mac Pro has a future?

  The Mac Pro has a future? Processors seem to have reached a plateau and it is no longer an Apple Display Monitor for it. I want to replace my 2009 model at the beginning because it will not support the Sierra and would prefer a Pro for an iMac as I run SETI 24/7.

  I think that early 2009 Mac Pro is supported of Sierra, although...

  Sierra has Siri requiring a microphone that Mac Pro does not, so we need to do, even if Apple can't sell microphone or headset for Mac Pro.

  I use Sierra Beta Version2 on 2012, MacBook Air and it's fun.

• Freezing / sluggish: Logic Pro 9. Mac Pro; Yosemite

  As the title suggests, I am experiencing sluggish controls and performance in reading with Logic Pro.  My specs are:

  Mac Pro (round) mid-2010; 2.8 GHz Quad Core (Intel); 12 GB OF RAM

  10.10.5 Yosemite

  Logic Pro 9.1.8

  Everything is apparently fine with the performance, however, I randomly and almost inevitably experience the app 'snap '.

  Never quite completely, it freezes, will get rather unresponsive in functions such as when I'm in the reading, he will just continue to play while any activated button will be delayed for a few seconds until the number of seconds before he answers.  This does not happen with the launch at the beginning of a session and a cool app, but wire time, it will be unless I have close / restart the application.

  I recently created a new installation of Yosemite on his own internal drive - using a stock of Apple HD (Western Digital, Black Label, 1 TB, 7200 RPM)

  The only thing installed on the OS drive is Logic Pro and a few plug-ins.  I watch performance monitors, nothing appears close to overload (this is both logic and Universal Audio monitors CPU usage).  My sessions are not complicated: consist on average of about 4-5 stereo Audio tracks / track Instrument 1-2 / 2-4 Bus titles.  Plug-ins averaged around 2-4 per track.

  I use a writing another drive internal (2 TB) and save the files of session while recording / mixing.  My plan was to spend the end sessions at the coast by car after completing their but I suspect that it is the source of performance problems.

  My question is, I'm pretty committed to get an upgrade of RAM max (32 GB for my system).  I hope that this will add enough buffer space to avoid blockages in the performance.

  • It is, 12 GB sound like a stretch to try to run the logic without any problems?

  • Would a 32 GB upgrade be important?

  • Logic Pro (9) have known problems with hang up and becomes unresponsive / slow over a period of time with a running period session continues?

  • Any other use?

  • Is it I better off working on and recording of current session to the local operating system drive rather than another drive?

  In fact... I think you will find that much of this is related to graphics performance. Are you running one of the EQS of channel mode Analyzer, medium or hi res? This will certainly lead to delays, even if they are not displayed. Logic 9 graphics routines is quite old and showing their age with newer operating systems. Using a dual monitor system (display)?

• Can I use 6 discs in a Mid 2012 Mac Pro Server to?

  I want to consolidate a couple of servers on a Mac Pro Server. I intend to use a disk to store data and the other as backup (simple clones). 6 TB of hard drives compatible with the Mid 2012 Mac Pro?

  Yes with the following conditions:

  -There is a bug in OSX 10.8.4 and later the internal formatting prevents drivers more than 2.2 GB.

  This bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been set. You can

  using an any older Mac OS X disk utility, your Mac may initially with 10.7.3, 10.8 or 10.8.3 and therefore the 10.6 DVD and so does not work

  Another work around is to move this drive in an external case and delete it there (assuming your case is modern enough to deal with readers more than 2.2 to.

  • When you DELETE a more 2.2 TB drive in an internal drive Bay, it is given the stuff of Logical Volume in Mac OS X 10.8.3 and later versions. Many readers regarded here as a BUG. Logical volume group partitions were not needed and trafficked, re - DELETE and other functions. There are several very different workarounds:

  • Re-CLEAR in a box outside, provided you can accommodate more discs 2.2 TB ("really old" cannot).
  • CLEAR using Mac OS X or Recovery_HD or install predates it 10.8.3
  • Manually delete the partitions of a logical Volume using Terminal Server group.

  -For the mounting of sled internal:

  The penetration of the screw depth for 'down-screw mount adjacent to the platters' on some readers from over 3 TB have been shortened. This may mean that the live sled down until they adjust and begin to compress the washers on the sled. If this is the case, your drive will not rest flat on the sled and do not breed with the connector backplane without additional adjustment.

  OWC now sells sleds that uses different types of mounting holes in the HD to avoid this problem.

  You can shorten the screws, or put a washer under the head to ensure they can be warm in the authorized depth. Also, now OWC/Macsales now sells sleds that use the location of the different types of mounting screws to avoid this problem. However, these sleds are only for the Pros 2009 and subsequent
