Mac Pro :: Red Light Flash?
May 24, 2009
I was starting up my Mac Pro this evening in a dark room and noticed a flash of red light for half a second upon pressing the power button. Being curious of this I shut down the computer took off the side panel and tried powering it up again. I saw 4 lights on Memory Riser B flash on for half a second then disappear. In System Profiler it shows all my ram is 'OK' but I have never witnessed this flash of red light before. Is this a normal thing to occur when powering up a Mac Pro late 08 model or should I contact Apple over this?

Weeks back, had some blinds by my desk fall on my opened Macbook and strike right near the power button. No real physical damage, although the power button feels a tad stiffer when pressed. But since then, at start up, the sleep light will flash quickly off and on for a short burst, but then proceed with start up.
I've searched around the internets and seem to think that this might be a memory problem. But in most cases the computer won't start up at all. In my case the only indication I have of a problem is flashing sleep light at start up.

My friend's MacBook Air crashed. It blacked out, and turned off. Now, when he presses the power button, he gets a beep, and that's it. the white LED light also doesn't flash. It's a short, soft beep.

When I am in a quiet room, I notice a light humming coming from my macbook pro and also a light vibration on the right side. Is this just the hd spinning or something to be concerned about? it is 2 weeks old.

I want to create a simple flash movie (I don't yet own or know how to use Adobe Flash). Pretty flowers in the background, inspirational music, passages from the Bible or something fading in an out... you know the schtick. Maybe convert it to a screen saver.

I'm trying to read news sites and my eye is distracted by things bouncing around in adverts. It's even worse when they're playing obnoxious sounds until you click the mute button in them.Therefore I just thought I'd let people know about this wonderful piece of software. I've seen it mentioned a few times here but even if this thread only helps a few people I think it'll be worth it:[URL]Not only does it hide these horrific insults to humanity (ok a bit strong perhaps), it actually prevents them loading, therefore your pages load quicker! And it's completely unobtrusive! If you want to watch flash file, simply click on in.

watch Youtube vids using H.264 MP4 codec instead of flash. As most of the videos I watch are recent uploads (last year or so) they have SQ and HQ H.264 version available. As Flash eats up system resources worse then anything I can think of at the moment, I am trying to find a way to force the videos to play in MP4 format. I know ClicktoFlash has this option for Safari, but I am trying to find out if there are any other ways to do this without user input (for playlists). I use YousableTubeFixURL for Chrome and Firefox which has the option to do this, but no matter what option I choose, it always plays using Flash. I know FF doesnt have a built in MP4 player, but I though I heard of a way to get VLC or Quicktime to play it.

After 4 years of no problems when I log onto Yahoo/AT&T email it says Flash is blocked-you must unblock Flash in an openmail app. I have reinstalled Flash to no avail. The email app seems to work fine. How do I make this message go away?

I have upgraded from a OX 2.8 to 3.9. I now have to use two browsers to use the internet. Safari to have access to my yahoo mail account, and fire fox 2.020 to load information on my business website.
I have not been able to use shockwave flash or flash player on the up load. When I was using OSX 2.8 I could add pictures to my business website and etc., I had no problem viewing the slide show I had on my website, other than the system was a little slow. I have an ibook G3 128 +512 ram, total. 900 mhz, 12. inches and white case. The systems requirements indicate that I need to upgrade to tiger OSX 4.0
I know there are some issues using Fire Fox with OSX 3.9. When ever I tried to access my yahoo mail from Fire fox, the system would crash.
Other than getting a new laptop, any suggestions? I tried to down load Shock wave from the old apps web site called Camino. I get an error message that the plug in cannot be loaded sussfully I have tried load flash Player 7.09, but get a message that it can not load. Could this be because of not enough space on the drive. Maybe I am not loading it correctly. Shouldn't I be able to click it to install it in the right place without having to try the different files.

I hate Flash. It?s crass, it?s loud, it?s obnoxious, and on a Mac it is a literal drag on the machine, sucking up the CPU and memory as if there?

I have a Mac Pro 3.1..Sometimes (most of the times, actually) the Mac Pro doesn't boot and just stops after the chime (just as it was powered off). But what I found strange is that the white status light is always on (not blinking, always on) from the moment I connect the power strip.
I've run multiple times the Apple Service Diagnostic tests (running then again at this moment) and there´s absolutely no error reported. I've changed memory, video card slot position, everything I could think off, but still haven't found a solution.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

I recently noticed something rather peculiar about my MacBook. When I put my computer to sleep, the sleep light never does what it used to. As far as I remember, the light is supposed to very bright, then go dim, and then go back to being bright correct? Well, since I installed the latest OS X update, I've noticed that my sleep light never gets dimmer. It just stays on full brightness all the time.

My Macbook Pro randomly shut off (I don't think it was low on battery, but I can't be 100% sure.) Now when I plug in the charger, the light on the charger is green for about 6 seconds, then goes to red and stays red. I cannot turn on the computer, and there is no sign that it is even charging.

I'm looking for a really small, lightweight USB drive to use with my new Macbook Air. I take a backup of my office before I leave to work at home and I don't want a massive stick so what's a small stick that can hold 4GB? I know the Sony Microvault tiny is now discontinued, why is this?

does anyone notice that sometimes the screen light will dim over time? (new alum unibody macbook)
is it because sometimes i use a lamp really close to the laptop vs other times using a far away light source? does the brightness change automatically?
i sometimes increase the light to full..and then maybe 2 days later...i find it is 2 notches lower..without me doing anything...

This has been bugging me and it'll be another week or two until I can get my hands on one. So, what's the little light (if it is even a light) on the right hand side of the front of the unit?

When I press the F8 button, the level indicator comes up, but there's a "not allowed" symbol as well (the circle with the diagonal line through it). This is the same when I press the F9 and F10 buttons - it comes up, but also the "not allowed" symbol

Hello, I tried searching the forums for my problem, but have not found it. I have a week old 13 Macbook pro 2.53. The problem I am having is when I set the keyboard backlight to "Never" turn off it still does. I even set it to 5 minutes and it still shuts off at like 4. I have tried disabling it etc...and it still turns off when set to "Never".

Yesterday, I unhooked everything from my MP to install the following: 2nd superdrive, 2GB RAM stick, Intel SSD, stock Nvidia GT120(slot 3). Now, I have since taken out the additional RAM because testing showed faster memory tests with 3x2GB ram sticks vs 4x2GB. I'm assuming because of tri-channel memory. Anyway, now when I cut the computer on I'm getting a brief red light flash on the riser card. I have looked in system profiler and it shows all DIMM slots as "OK" and is showing 6GB of RAM. I have inserted the OSX DVD and ran a short and long hardware test and nothing shows up wrong or problematic.
The computer as you can tell in my other thread about SSD benchmarks is running at great speed! The only true weird thing is when I tried to boot from the OSX DVD to restore from a time machine backup on the Intel SSD, the MP hangs up on the grey screen with the apple logo(spinning wheel is there but freezes eventually) and on my second monitor is shows a box that says "You need to restart your computer". So this is a kernal panic, no? The nearest Apple store is over 2 hours away and the same goes for an authorized shop.
Also, I installed the stock HDD and the factory RAM and the light still remains. The only way I could use my SSD was to use carbon cloner and put the SSD in bay 4 and go that route. Everything worked fine and the SSD is now the boot drive. But, its kinda irritating because if this thing fails I can't boot from the OSX DVD to restore. The only thing I haven't done is remove the Nvidia GT120 but I had to re-install that crappy thing because I am running 3 monitors now. I have my main monitor(dock) hooked to the GTX285 and monitors 2 and 3 running of the GT120.

My mac recently started printing light and faded. My printer is an HP laserjet 5si w/postcript and network card. I can print fine from my PC, everything from the mac is faded. It makes no difference whether I print with the printer driver or through gimp-print. The result is the same. I am running 10.4.11.

Our green light comes on for our camera (on our Mac 10.4.11) when we are not using it. It also comes on when photobooth and ichat are not running. Does this mean that we have a virus, someone somewhere is watching us, or what?
