• Resonance noise coming from new Mac Pro

  Hi all!

  I picked up recently a late 2013 6 mac pro core. I once owned a mac Mini 4 core i7 model quiet whisper. I hooked all my cables similarly to the way I had with my mac Mini. Now the question is, when im downloading with download accelerator or transfer files in both feel between my server, I can hear sound coming from my new Mac Pro resonance frequency. This only happens when im connected by ethernet. If I disable ethernet and use wifi, this noise is more audible! Is this a common problem! My new Mac Pro would already have problems!

  Thanks in advance

  RE: noises reported in Mac Pro end 2013.

  There was an initial report of a noise called "Reel whining", launched by the power under certain conditions.

  Those who could demonstrate the problem got their power supplies replaced under warranty.

  Of course, those who have done nothing and waited for the next version of the software solve the problem have nothing except maybe a headache.

  If this is a NEW Mac Pro, back at the origin of the seller ASAP. If you purchased at Apple in the United States, you can get the unit replaced with 14 days of receipt - the Genius Bar or you local Apple authorized service provider.

  If others, it becomes a problem to repair.

• Mac Pro Tower 2012 Unresponsive (Power Light On, red LED turn on)

  Found my Mac Pro 2012 Tower responds more today with the power led and a red led light on the inside of the tower.  The subject of research and could not find anyone who had this exact question (unless I'm missing something) and I also have trouble understanding what LED light and how do I proceed.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  

  Remove all external and off devices, disconnect all external cables

  Check your GPU for dust/dirt/creep (where it "fits" of the socket), you can remove it but when undertaking this make sure that you are properly grounded at all times and the components are put in static free containers, then clean the inside of the computer with compressed air ensuring that you damage the connectors not blowing the white point.

  Replace the GPU and follow the instructions to reset the SMC.

  Plug directly into a wall outlet connected to the ground not a power strip or battery backup.

  otherwise, to replace the CMOS battery on the logic board, after that leave the device unplugged for 30 minutes or more.

• My Mac Pro 2009 gives me only a power button blinks when I try to turn it on.

  My Mac Pro 2009 gives me only a power button blinks when I try to turn it on. External drives turns on but not the computer or monitor. I tried holding down the power button to restart but I still get only a power button blinking and no departures. It is running IOS 10.8.5 and I use it mainly for recording and mixing of music. I use Digital Performer and, sometimes, ProTools. Nothing new has been installed recently.

  fans on, power button flashing says "not enough RAM that works correctly for starting up".

• Power Mac Pro 2010 problems

  So I just bought a Mac Pro 2010 and it ran fine for a day or two and then I noticed that when he falls asleep the light never blinks and turn even a problem.

  If the unit is off, when I first press the button there is a click but the led stays off and nothing happens. I have to hold down the power button until there is another click. When I press the button once again, there is a click and the power of fans on and the machine finally starts. Although the chime time seems very long.

  However, when he goes to sleep, the monitor turns off, I can hear the fans turns off but never flashes as it should the. Subsequently, the computer cannot be awakened from his sleep. This happens if the timer is active, I press the power button or choose to sleep in the menu. I have to hold the power button to turn it off completely, then start it again. Also, when I press the power button to restart the same as above occurs.

  I ran Onyx to flush all caches that I left my SSD (OWC E2) my Mac Pro 2008. I also reset the SMC and the LANDAU and also ran the Apple Hardware test. Nothing has helped and no errors not found in one of these trials. I tried simply have a HARD classic in this drive and removed all my cards accessories but that does not make a difference. Even when I start windows via boot camp the same problem occurs with sleep.

  Any suggestions?

  I had a similar with a 2010 6 core Mac Pro problem except that the Mac I never sleep, so sleep was not involved. An Apple Store Genius diagnosed as a button battery failure and, eventually, the PS. I asked that the two be replaced since the support for that Mac ends. It's worked OK since then and at Pick-up, engineering was agreed that, while the battery needs replacement, the real problem was the PS.

  Until the repair, one of the things that helped aims to let the Mac disconnected from the AC line for about an hour. Immediately after it by plugging in, he would sometimes start and then work.

• 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.

• No noise in Bootcamp with 2013 Mac Pro Windows 10 X 64

  Hi all

  Has anyone else had problems with getting audio playback works fine on a Mac Pro 2013 running 10 X 64 Windows at retail.   I know that the speaker in my Mac works because it works fine on OS X and chimes on boot up but Windows there is not a glance.    I did all the basics such as checking things in Manager devices etc.   All Bootcamp support software are installed but nothing.  I'm a total loss of any any input would be appreciated.

  Thank you

• 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 2013 become hot, not answer and stop.

  Hello

  I have a 2013 Pro Mac, I bought as used before 5 months and he was well, before 3 days, the weather was warm (approx. 28 °) and under normal conditions, use my Mac Pro start freezing and not answered every 15-30 Minutes and automatically stop or I have to disconnect the power cable.

  I started looking on the problem, I checked the bodies of the Mac Pro and I found it very hot, the fan worked but slow, I searched on Google on a tool or a command I can do the fan faster and I found an application called SMC FanControl, this app showing me that Mac temperature of 48 ° also with this app, I was able to turn the fan to Max speed, I heard the noise of the fan, it worked perfectly with this app. The Mac Pro early to work perfectly also with in normal and hard jobs.

  

  Yesterday, I decided to clean all of my Mac Pro material, maybe that this solves the problem, it was dirty, and I did as new as you can see in this picture:

  I also used for better CPU and GPU thermal compound I found on the market.

  

  BUT the problem came with the first video editing, 48 ° c, closing down and not be able to turn it on for 5 Minutes.

  The question is: why my Mac Pro not control the fan automatically? is it a software or a hardware problem? If the material someone we know exactly?

  Best regards

  Which component was 48 c?

  What was the hottest component?

  It's not hot at all.

  From now on my MP 2013 with base CPU, CPU ITPP and CPU sensors 1-4 are about 100 ° C and speed of 84CFan two GPU time 1750

• FCPX El Capitan new Mac Pro SLOW

  I just add a new computer to our edit arsenal. It's a Mac Pro 2.7ghz - 12 CORE - 30 MB L3 cache - with 64 GB of DDR3 - 1 TB of Flash storage memory - Dual AMD over-pants D700 6 GB VRAM - essentially the full load Mac Pro.  10.2.2 FCPX running

  Why my not make happen almost instantly?  I put in back made in 0.3 seconds.  It seems to me with all this power - this thing has absolutely scream - and yet I don't see a significant difference between the calculation of my MacBook MONOCŒUR i7 with 16 GB DDR and this monster.  My MacBOOK works always - Yosemite, but my new computer came with El Capitan.  I was able to get this added to our budget by telling our Board of how long it would save.  $10,000 for a computer, it must blow my mind. It's also take about a full minute to FCPX bring up a project when I start.

  With rendered BG set this short interval of time. you have tapped on the brakes in FCP constantly. (This isn't actually rendered BG; he makes during periods of inactivity.). My suggestion would be to turn it off. With this kind of horses, you shouldn't make except for the more complex compositions. Or if you need to before export.

  If turn off made does not improve things a bit, I begin to wonder about the project - if there was something on the media - or an effect that was driving the MP to madness. Something like the reduction of the noise applied to a long clip really bind any machine in knots.

  2. do I need to provide a source of additional power for this or already installed cables will suffice?

  Thank you very much

  Yes it will work in a 3.1 based on:

  You must 10.10.5 or later version.

  You don't need additional power but yoo must Nvidia drivers

• Mac Pro 5.1 kicking circuit breaker

  I recently bought a Mac Pro 5.1 12 core to replace my Mac Pro 4.1 8 cores. No one knows if these attract a lot more power than article 4.1? It seems my breaker this time every so often. Never had this problem with the 4.1.

  I should add that it was very dirty inside when I got it. A lot of fluff as he had been on a treadmill. I took the processor board and blowing lint. Not him did not a throughout the cleaning again.

  A 12 core will draw more power than a core 8 but only a little more, unless all the cores are loaded.

  What is running when the circuit breaker trip?

  What else is on the same circuit as the Mac?
