Mac Pro 4.1 - No. USB or bluetooth after El Capitan 10.11.3 updated

I have an early 2009 Mac Pro 4.1 (2 x 2.93 GHz, 16 GB ram, 5870 1 GB GPU).  After the upgrade to 10.11.3, the bluetooth is indicating is not available and not picked upward by looking at system information.

In addition, the USB ports do not work.  They will power the led lights on an external USB switch, but the keyboard and the wired mouse will not work (red under the mouse does not appear).  I tried the front and rear USB ports and none works.

I can't get USB working on card PCI-E card USB3 I installed.  And this ONLY works if I start the computer and after loading in OSX, THEN connect the keyboard and mouse in.  If I have the keyboard and mouse connected at startup, it does not on the PCI-E USB port.

I tried to turn off, turn the power to the cord, out of RAM and resetting, out all readers and back, leaving the computer and unplugged for an hour, then restart.  This does not solve the problem.

I booted the Mac using OS x 10.9 Mavericks and everything works fine, the bluetooth functions properly and all the USB ports work fine.

So I have the feeling that this is a problem with the 10.11.3 patch.  The system was fine in 10.11.2.

Could someone please suggest how I can troubleshoot and resolve this problem so that I can use several USB ports and reconnect the bluetooth devices.

Thank you!

    You have a RAM failure.

    The Mac Pro features help Error correction Code RAM with hardware integrated with its Xeon processor. The Mac Pro 1.1 uses FBDIMM who get hot and do not have a long life expectancy. Work for 7-8 months does not work tomorrow.

    The error correction is used aggressively at the start, and all DIMM found to have errors during the Power-On Self Test brief execution have their slots declared 'empty '. This isn't an anomaly, these modules DIMM turns out to be BAD.

  • install el Capitan on no boot drive Mac Pro?

    I have a Mac Pro Tower 2012. I want to install El Capitan on one of my disks in storage so that I can switch from the boot disks. I think it would be easy, but I don't know how.

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    Paste the HD into a Bay in your MacPro.

    Open disk utility. Partition the disk.

    Be sure to only use the card Partition GUID and MAC OS extended (journaled) format

    You can choose to have the drive as one partition and then put el Capitan on it.

    Or you can have two or more partitions with El Capitan on one and use the other partitions

    anything you want. For example, I have a 1 TB drive that has three partitions, one for Yosemite

    one for El Capitan and the third for storage. Once you have configured your partion (s), quit disk utility.

    Now you are ready to install El Capitan, the installation program will ask you where you want to install the operating system.

    It can show you your original disk, but click on the button below "display more drives" this should display the disk partitions you created select one on your new drive and continue with the installation. "

    Based on my experience, your extended keyboard usb from Apple is the oldest plastic or the most recent aluminium? Based on which you have a branch above Apple usb extension cable. Anyway look at the end of the cable usb and it is most likely has that match unusual for her, this little triangle. It can fit on the Mac Pro USB, but can be a little bit loose as an adjustment. If you use a newer Apple usb extension on the older plastic Apple usb keyboard, this isn't a good fit. If you use the old extension of usb Apple on the most recent alum Apple keyboard, which is not a good fit.

    So low line trying to look at the adjustment of the end of the usb in the Mac Pro or hub or ver, you connect to. I got this problem which caused two problems: I was using the older usb Apple with the new Apple alum keyboard extension cable.

    1. frequently the keyboard did not react, looked dead

    2 - beta install for starting seeds would start on the hard drive to complete the installation.

    Given that I have "corrected" the usb extension appropriate keyboard usb Apple alum both problems went away.

  • 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.

  • PCI 3.1 ASUS USB to the Mac Pro running El Capitan?

    Hello

    As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4.1 (updated to 5.1 and 2 X of Hexa-Core Xeon X 5670 CPU) I "suffer" a restriction.

    And it is now old and really slow USB 2.0.

    I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 and I spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card.

    Of course, this card is given only as compatible with Windows...

    But I've seen a few reports of people claiming to have inserted this card in their Mac and have used successfully with several devices.

    It seems that these reports are under "Yosemite".

    I was wondering if they are always good with El Capitan...

    I put the card in the Mac.

    It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro.

    In fact looking at the system information, under "PCI" give "Expansion USB card".

    BUT:

    -No USB key I have insert mounts;

    -No USB stick plug mounts;

    -my mouse lights

    -the keyboard does not work...

    So I'm wondering if:

    -El Capitan has got rid of the first USB support 3.1 to Yosemite?

    - Or if my card can be default somehow?

    -If this behavior can be caused by updates, I made (Mac 4.1-5.1 online) + 8-Core CPU-online 12 Core CPU?

    If anyone would be able to help me, I would be eternally grateful :-)

    If so, the card can be sent to the seller...

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Replying to myself: the card is functional.

    And the material is not at fault.

    How will I know?

    Simple: my Mac can dualboot on Mac or Linux Debian.

    So I just started in Debian on the same Mac Pro.

    Guess what? Without having to install any additional software, the card USB 3.1 is perfectly recognized under Linux.

    To remain decent, I will remain silent and will not say what I think Apple tries to limit the use of their devices without the need of technique to do so.

    I will now try to start to Yosemite to see if it allows me to use the card.

    Kind regards.

    Hello there Penguiner.

    Looks like you bought the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card and questions about its compatibility with your Mac Pro. The following Knowledge Base article speaks to the maps provided by Apple which have been tested and work with the Mac Pro:

    On the compatibility between Mac Pro-carte models graphics

    Since the ASUS card is not listed, the reference of the article could be a good recommendation to follow:

    This article applies only to video cards that originally shipped with a specified Mac Pro or upgrade kit have been offered by Apple. Similar maps that are not provided by Apple may have compatibility issues and you have to work with this card provider to confirm compatibility.

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

    Kind regards.

  • PCI cards with USB 3.0 or eSATA for a Mac Pro 2006 (1,1)

    Hello, Apple people!

    I got my hands on a Mac Pro 2006 earlier from a friend. I used it as a BESTIAL Server (seriously, this thing is not so much as breaking a sweat even when I throw it the more difficult task.) I love this machine) since I got it, and I think I want to do the updates. My plan so far is to get multiple mounting OWC to pick up the second drive Bay currently vacant DVD and install two 120 GB Samsung 850 EVO drives in RAID 0, while using the real HARD disk bays for a RAID 10 array (nested RAID: two RAID 1 arrays brought together in a RAID 0 array) of four 2 TB red WD drives and use two 250 GB hard drives currently in the machine in an external case in a matrix RAID 1 for backup. I'm pretty happy on this issue.

    My question concerns what interface to use for external drives of 250 GB. I can use:

    • USB 2.0 currently on the machine
    • FireWire 800 currently on the machine
    • a PCIe USB 3.0 card
    • a PCIe card with eSATA

    That we will get the faster speeds? I know that, theoretically, eSATA would get faster speeds (6 Gbps eSATA vs 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 vs 800 Mbps, Firewire 800 vs 480 Mbps USB 2.0), however I know also (maybe?) that the Mac Pro I have only has grooves in v PCIe 1.1, with a (supposed) 250 MB/s maximum data transfer rate. would this bottleneck a PCIe USB 3.0 or eSATA card not worth?

    Note: don't worry all "Mac compatibility" with PCIe cards (or the table RAID scheme I mentioned). I am running Ubuntu Server (64 bit) on the machine, and given that the Linux kernel supports much more conductive than Mac OS X, I probably don't need to look at all the other drivers. This issue is specific to the hardware capabilities of the Mac Pro.

    Probably the most simple installation, you can do is to install the eSATA extender cable adapter.
