2nd graphics card doesn't work after upgrade to 10.6

I ordered my Mac Pro with two ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphic cards and they always worked great. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, it always shows a display connected to the second card even when there isn't. This wasn't an issue until I started having windows displayed on that "ghost" screen that I couldn't see. In the System Profiler, It no longer recognizes the graphics card like it should and reports the wrong amount of memory (1024 instead of 256MB... I wish) and of course reports a "Display" that doesn't exist. Since from time to time I like to connect my TV to my Mac - for movies or whatever else - I connect it to this second graphics card but since 10.6, it hasn't worked.
In short: my second graphics card isn't recognized correctly; it has a ghost display with or without a display connected to it; will not connect to a display.

I'd assume you do have a bad card now. Maybe wait and see if newer ATI cards come out, or opt for 4870 or flash one of the 1GB models that can be flashed, and save couple $100.

  • Graphics card doesn't work after cleaning

    So yesterday my computer was dusty so i decided to clean it, I used compressed air can. So when i was done i put everything back and started up the computer and i got no signal to the monitor, all fans were running even on the gfx but the monitor was black. So i switched place on the gfx and still nothing, i've change the cpu cooler to the stock Intel one, still nothing, i have checked the ram and still no sign. So what should i do?? Can i get a new Gtx 760 of my warranty? Btw i think my videocard is the problem, what do you think?. Please help!

    Be aware that using compressed air (especially if using canned air) can cause condensation causing a short if the card is installed shortly afterwards. In this case warranty would be void. Try without the GTX760 and see if computer works fine (in case cpu has integrated gpu or you have another vga). If so make sure card is dry and retry. If no help try the card in another system.

    My Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML
    Mail client connects with the Mail Server wich seems to run but then they can't receive any email...
    the problem seems to be related with dovecot ... in my smtp log i get this:

    I have to say that in the usr/libexec there wasn't the dovecot directory so I just tried to create one but with no luck

  • [solved]wacom doesn't work after upgrade to xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29

    hello..
    i have already posted about that in testing-forums, but since xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29 have moved to extra, though i'd create a seperate topic about that.
    after i have upgraded to xorg 1.6 and kernel 2.6.29 my wacom device (as built-in, not usb) on my thinkpad x41t stopped working.
    before upgrade i have used xorg with hotplugging enabled. everything worked fine.
    after wacom stopeed working i removed everything regarding input devices from xorg.conf -> no change
    put an fdi-file for wacom -> no change
    installed linuxwacom-dev -> no change
    i don't really know, if it's a kernel or an xorg issue. loading wacom drivers manually still doesn't solve the problem. no warnings or errors about wacom in xorg-log or messages.log
    how could i check, wether my system recognizes the device properly at all? it doesn't show up in lspci or in lsusb.
    any help would be great.

    well, upgraded again to xorg-server 1.6, disabled hotplugging, installed linuxwacom-dev from aur and the wacom works as allways. (had to edit xmodmap one more time, since kbd returns other keycodes than evdev does :-| ). no matter, done is done.
    but intel driver returns broken graphics if i rotate screen with xrandr.
    i guess there is no way around this execpt switching to the ultra-slow legacy driver?
    just for comparison - glxgears fps:
    intel: ~900fps
    intel-legacy: ~280fps

  • Please help: Application doesn't work after upgrade to Workshop 8 sp2 from sp1

    Hi,
    Our application worked on workshop 8 sp1. After we upgrade system from sp1 to
    sp2, some of the part doesn't work propertly any more.
    1. netui:select seems not bind form data propertly. For drop down list box in
    forms, although user has chosen something from the drop down list box, the returned
    value in the form is always null.
    2. we use Java script window.open(url,...) to download and view files. After upgrade
    from sp1 to sp2, clients keep getting IE error complaining that "Internet Explore
    can not open this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or can
    not be found. Please try again later", although the server and the files are all
    in local host server.
    Please help. Thanks

    Did you update your workshop application files and recompile your application?
    A few things changed between GA and sp2, some annotations were renamed, and some
    were added.
    If you open up your application in Workshop sp2, it should given you the option
    to upgrade your application.
    Failing that, you may need to go through the code that is not performing as it
    was before and check whether it was not utilising a bug that was fixed in sp2
    and thus causes it to not function correctly now.

  • Google Maps Widget doesn't work after upgrade to Safari 4.0

    After a lengthy bit of trouble shooting with an iWeb specialist yesterday, we reached a conclusion that somehow installing the release version of Safari 4.0 (released Monday, 6/8) causes the GoogleMaps widget to not function or display properly. Using backup harddrives of recent systems, the widget worked properly in OS X 10.5.7 running iWeb 3.0.1 with both Safari 3.2 and the BETA VERSION of Safari 4. On that same system, once I download and installed the release of Safari 4., the maps widget would not work or display properly.
    To describe what doesn't work: None of the options (search field, address bubble, or zoom controls) appear regardless of what the user selects in the HUD when creating or editing the content. I am unable to pan and/or scroll around the map within its bounding box at all. The only thing I am able to do is edit the address field in the HUD and end up with a map with that location centered in the window.
    The AppleCare specialist didn't have much response in that I think this is a brand new and VERY obscure bug.
    I am curious to know if anyone else has exprienced this condition.

    It may be obscure in iWeb but the Safari 4 update has messed up the Google maps in iPhoto big time. Be sure to report it as they are all related to the Safari 4 upgrade and probably only be solved by a Safari fix.

  • Right headset doesn't work after upgrading iOS

    I use iPhone 4 32GB. I upgrade the iOS from 5.1.1 to 6.1.3. On the previous iOS, i don't have any problem. But after i upgrade my phone, my right headset doesn't work. I've clean the jack, plug, etc; I've tried to change the sound settings, music setting, etc, but it doesn't change anything. My headset still mute, exactly the right side. The left one is still okay. I've tried to plug another jack and nothing change. Anybody help :'(

    If you've made sure it's clear of any debris/dust, tried using a different pair of headphones and it still didn't work, I would contact Apple with the hardware issue and find out what your replacement options are.  It might be conincidental, but a software update shouldn't change the jack on the phone because that is hardware.

    Hello -
    Are you installing these distributions on a non-English operating system?  If so, the first thing to try would be the workaround listed on this known issue. 
    The known issue only lists Italian OSs as the troublesome OS, but it could actually happen on many different non-English OSs. I will update the text accordingly the next time I update the known issues list.

  • Downloading new photos - iPhoto doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hello,
    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, iPhoto has stooped working after downloading photos from my Sd card.
    Some picutres downloaded are black while some others are ok, but in any case I have to restart my iMac because every apps running can't be used anymore.
    That happens only with iPhoto, after downloading, instead normally it works.
    Now I use Aperture and everything is fine but I'd like to figure out why iPhoto acts like that.
    Do I have to trash it?
    Thank you.

  • IPod in iPhone 3Gmusic doesn't work after upgrade to iOS4

    My iPhone is very unstable after upgrade to iOS4 and one major failure is that iPod music doesn't work properly, some song (recently purchased from iTunes) cannot be played even if it is in the list. There are a lot of new space in memory after upgrade, seems songs are removed or compressed in some stupid way.
    Spotify is also working like **** after upgrade to iOS4. Also big problems with the phone being slow and hanging in many different kind of modes.
    From being a real iPhone fan, I am very disappointed. Maybe Apple think they are immortal now and think they can release any kind of crap and still keep their customers...

  • HT4528 iPhone 4s' wifi doesn't work after upgrading to iOS 7

    My Verizon iPhone 4s will not connect to wifi after upgrading to iOS 7. You would think Apple would have figured this problem out before releasing iOS 7 to the public. Any fixes?

    After having trying everything out on the web, I found a fix that worked out. The thing to do is to deactivate your phone and then reactivate it. The way to do it is to first power off the phone. Then take out the SIM card. Then power on the phone and make an emergency call for about 5 sec. Turn the power off. Place the SIM card back into the phone. Power on the phone and plug it into the computer and to itune. Itune will then ask for your user name and password. The wifi will be working.
    All you have to do then, is reinstall your saved restored file.
    That's it !!
