WindowServer and other errors causing frequent system crashes MacPro

Many warnings and errors in Console associated with increasingly flakey behavior of Early 2008 Mac Pro running 10.9.2

I have run disk utility on boot drive and other internal and external HD and all is well. I have just reinstalled the OS. In searching through the Discussions, I thought that installed third party applications have causes system changes that affect system preformance. To investigate, I followed Linc Davis' suggestion and produced the following outputs from Setps 1 and 2 respectively. I do not use MacKeeper or Drive genius and have tried to remove previously. Likewise, I do not use AirParrot, EyeTV (left over from 2002??), MisFox, Growl, anything related to the Casio camera, or Lotus Notes.

You have at least partial installations of "MacKeeper" and "Norton Anti-Virus," which are both useless and harmful. You also have quite a few other third-party system modifications that might be useful but could also be harmful, especially if incomplete or outdated. Besides that, many files in your home folder have wrong permissions or are locked.


A.


This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.

Back up all data.

Step 1

If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.

Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):

{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-

This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.

The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.

Step 2 (optional)

Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.

Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:

res


Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

resetpassword

Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.

Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.

Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.

Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

Select

▹ Restart

from the menu bar.


B.

The system is so heavily modified with third-party software that, instead of trying to remove the modifications piecemeal, you should erase the startup volume, reinstall OS X, and then go through the initial setup process, restoring only user data and settings from a backup — not applications or other files. This procedure will be easier than trying to clean up a messy system.

Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.

Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.

When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.User uploaded file


Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog — not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.

After that, run Software Update.


If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.

I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "anti-virus" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or modifies the functions of built-in applications. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.

Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.

Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

1. Followed both steps in A.

2. Followed all steps in B.

  • erased HD
  • installed OS via USB boot drive with 10.9
  • Unable to use TM back up to reinstall user files after three attempts - the process would hang
  • Started OS without instaling user files
  • Used TM to recover Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Downloads, Music, Moivies, DropBox,
  • Used TM to recover Aperture
  • Used App Store to reinstall purchased Apple apps - iPhoto, iWork components
  • Used original disks to reinstall Adobe Creatibe Suie 5
  • Reinstalled 2 Mail user accounts in Mail
  • Reinstalled SpamSieve from TM backup
  • Installed Microsoft Office 365 from mew download
  • Have NOT reinstalled any other 3rd party apps at this point

I/O Error is not innocuous. It is caused by not being able to read correctable data from a block after as many as a thousand re-trys. I think these disks are in trouble and need to be erased and re-written with known-good data, or security erased and overwritten with Zeroes:

OK, now I am really confused. In Disk Utility, if I choose the Seagate 3 TB drive and clkick "Info" it says Disk Identifier: disk5 but when I do a Verify it is listed as disk4s2. Unlike the other drives, that are internally installed, its Bay # is not displayed in Disk Utility. The other drives are listed in Info in Disk Utility as disk0s2, disk1s2, disk2s2 (boot drive), disk7s1


When I try to erase disk6 I get I/O errors. Unmounting it is not an option in Disk Utility.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.

Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

{ diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | pbcopy

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.


Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.


Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.


Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.


The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.

The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.


If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

The 3 TB drive (disk4) is formatted as a CoreStorage physical volume, and the corresponding logical volume is disk5. It's not clear why the drive is formatted that way, since it's neither encrypted nor part of a Fusion Drive, but some versions of OS X will format a 4 TB drive in Mac Pro as CoreStorage, so maybe the same thing is happening here.


disk6 is a 1 TB drive that is either unpartitioned or non-functional.
