Aperture 2 with "older" Macs?

Anyone tried v2 with the following?
- G5 DP 1.8 GHz
- GeForce FX 5200
My 1.5.6 runs "ok" on my current set-up but I see the GeForce FX 5200 is not listed under recommended video cards for Aperture 2.
TIA

Hi there, Aperture 2.0runs quite well on my machine, although I've got the X800 card in it. After reading someone's post about the Quad 3 GHz w 8 core's NEVER showing a "loading" in 20 MB RAW files (and I tested this at the Apple store, I just had to upgrade to the new 8-core. Any week now...
But it's really like in the review (CNET methinks) "it's like someone chucked a new processor in there".... press p and it is flying!

  • CS6 compatibility with older macs (2007-2008), using Mavericks 10.9

    I've heard about compatibility issues with older macs (2007-2008) when trying to run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 with Mavericks 10.9. Right now I'm using CS6 on my existing mid-2007, with Mountain Lion, -works great, and I'm worried if I upgrade to Mavericks there may be problems (based on FAQs)
    I do lots of video editing/rendering and am looking into getting another back-up computer to speed up editing time. I'm looking at purchasing an older Apple Mac Pro Tower : 2008 : Xeon 8-core 2.8ghz : 16gb ram : 1TB hd. Will this run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 if I'm using Mavericks 10.9? If not, why?
    Does the issue pertain to Mavericks with older macs, or is it CS6 with Mavericks, or what? Thanks!

    Mac 10.9.3 and CS6 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1480238 may help

  • Does version 3.0.1 allow sync with older Macs with PPC, or only with icloud?

    Does version 3.0.1 allow sync with older Macs with PPC, or only with icloud?

    Thanks again John,
    That is exactly what I mean, Im having problems giving planning users only calc access for Essbase. If I do that the users are not able top run scripts from the Planning app.
    What is strange is that for a while it was working for some users, but not for others, now the only thng that works is to give users admin rights for Essbase server.

  • Toshiba TV with older Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I was thinking of buying a HD TV by Toshiba that claims it can be connected to a Computer (makes no mention of Mac) using it’s “PC INPUT (15-PIN D-SUB)“ port. I’ve seen others mention using HDMI instead. What port on my older Mac Mini would I connect to? I think the video port is an HD monitor out.
    Anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to use the TV as a monitor for the Mini some of the time.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

    All minis have had some form of DVI up until the most recent model. DVI can provide either an analog or digital signal, and because of the ubiquity of VGA monitors the early minis came with a DVI to VGA adapter. The same DVA connection however can deliver a digital signal if the video hardware in the computer supports it, which the minis always have. Audio is not included in this type of connection however, although some TVs support using a combined HDMI and secondary audio input. Many times one HDMI is specifically grouped with a set of RCA inputs on the back for this purpose.
    The big difference in how you connect is that most standard video devices sources have historically used an overscan method of image delivery. The image is actually larger than the screen area you will be presented, so the TV overlaps the outer part beyond the actual viewing area. This is largely an artifact of when CRT TVs had fairly widely varied true display areas, and even broadcast equipment couldn't provide a perfectly consistent image area. Because this practice is still used, most video input methods designed for 'dumb' video source like broadcast, cable, satellite, or set top boxes and players use an overscan method. Some TVs allow you to adjust this for the normal video type inputs, like composite, component, S-video, and HDMI. Computers have basically always used a pixel for pixel image rendering model, so VGA as an almost exclusively computer standard does not use overscan. Thus, when a TV has VGA, that input does not use an overscan method to display the image.

  • Using iTunes store with older Mac

    I have a 5 year old Mac PowerBook G4 10.4.11, and cannot seem to access iTunes store any longer. My older Itunes store has ceased to function and the new version will not work on older Mac (yay Apple!). The new version needs 10.5 to work, so I am left with a non-functional iTunes.
    (I also just want to point out that 5 years old is NOT ancient for a home-based laptop.)
    Is there any way I can continue to buy music at iTunes with a work-around, or a version of the current iTunes made for older Macs, or should I just shop elsewhere, at (ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops?
    I specifically bought my machine planning to have a long life out of it and get good value, but now Apple are turning a really happy customer into a really seriously ****** one with this ploy to get me to update my machine, which I will not do unnecessarily.
    A very unhappy, currently unable-to-buy-anything customer.
    In the meanwhile, if anyone can help or give sound advice, besides moving to Ubuntu and avoiding Apple altogether henceforth, I'll be really appreciative.

    Lee888,
    There has been some unhappiness about that lately, but indeed the Store will not work with old versions of iTunes.
    But you can easily shop for music at the Amazon.com MP3 Store.  (If you are in the UK, use amazon.co.uk). 
    The Amazon store only needs a browser, so is unaffected by upgrade issues.  I guess it meets your definition of "(ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops."
    Once you have the MP3s, simply add them to your iTunes library.

  • Networking together with older Macs

    I am running Tiger 10.4.3. I have in the past, with earlier versions of OSX, connected to computers in my household running 8.6. I had to do this when I changed over to my new computer, which at the time was using Jaguar. We got a DSL connection, so we decided to network the computers together. I cannot mount the disks from the older computers running 8.6. They show up in the Network, but when you click connect, we get the error message: This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it.
    Do I have something set up wrong, or has apple made it impossible for a computer running Tiger to connect to a computer running 8.6? If they have made it impossible to do this, will it be possible for me to connect to my children's computers if I upgrade them to 9.1?

    Is there a way for them to access my computer
    without
    having to enter an IP address each time?
    This should be possible if you check the "Make
    AppleTalk Active" option in Tiger's AppleTalk pane of
    the appropriate network port in the Network system
    preference. (Probably "Built-in Ethernet" if you use
    a wired router.) This should 'broadcast' the Tiger
    Mac's network name (set in the Sharing sys pref) to
    the older Macs, allowing them to see that name in the
    Chooser & connect to it in the traditional way.
    We have AppleTalk active in Tiger. We can see the name of the Tiger computer in the chooser on the older computers, but if we try to connect that way, it loses the connection. If we enter the IP address, in the chooser, it works though.
    One word of caution about this one way sharing: the
    older OS versions don't know enough not to show files
    on OS X Macs that they shouldn't. You should make
    sure your kids don't access it using an admin account
    name to avoid exposing more of the OS X Mac's hard
    drive than necessary. Even if they just can access
    their own account's home folder (recommended), public
    folders, etc., a few normally invisible files will
    show up, so make sure they understand they should not
    disturb them.
    They only have access to the public folder.
    Can 9.1 communicate both ways?
    Yes, as long as the enable file sharing over TCP/IP
    box is checked in its File Sharing control panel.
    (This is the checkbox missing in earlier versions.)
    I have an old SuperMac S900 that doesn't officially
    support anything later than 9.1 either (because it
    uses a 680X0 processor). Its network name appears in
    Tiger Finder's networked volumes list & I can connect
    to its "available shares" without getting the
    incompatible AFP version error or any other problems.
    It is sometimes slow to show up on the network list
    after starting up, & the same may apply for your
    children's Macs, but if you give it 5 minutes or so,
    they should appear & work just as well.
    Well, that is good to know. My children all have power PC's PowerMac 5400 for most of them and one PowerMac 5500. Got them all at school auctions or they wouldn't have their own computers. : - )

  • IPad with iOS6 update not syncing with older macs

    I downloaded iOS6 for ipad, but now cannot sync with my mac because I'm running an older version OS X (version 10.5.8).  Does anyone know a solution to this?  It's important to us that we can update the ipads as we use these in meetings.
    All the best,
    Tim

    Apple's documentation is a bit confusing. iOS6 seems to require iTunes 10.6.3 which you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    and which should run on Leopard. However it still may not be possible to sync with this - the Tech Specs for the iPhone 5, http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html , say
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    I would suggest downloading iTunes 10.6.3 - it's free - and seeing how far you can get with it. If you can't sync you will need to upgrade your Mac at least to Snow Leopard.

  • Icloud set up help...on windows 7 with older macs in house

    Hello
    Thanks for any help...I am trying to get my photos backed up to the cloud.
    I hope I got this right
    I went to sign up and it said I needed at least a windows PC or a mac that is a later version OS
    than my 10.6.8 and 10.5.0
    does this mean i can do the initial set up on my pc and then use it on my 10.5.O mac to upload my pictures to
    the cloud...most my photos are on 10.5.0 mac mini...
    OR do i have to have a different icloud account for mac and windows?
    Thanks I am so confused as to how to save my photos before I get a new mac and time capsule...
    i lost them all before and thankfully they were backed up to a drive...
    I want to secure these photos the best way I can as so many loved ones have passed away...
    Thanks...any help would be so appreciated...I don't mind paying for extra cloud storage if i know those
    photos are safe...
    and that I can set up on windows 7 and use it on my older macs
    Rose

    iCloud doesn't backup your photos, so there'd be no point trying to use that.
    Use Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive.
    Dropbox works on OS X 10.5.8 at least, so that may be your best option.

  • IPad with older Mac?

    Hi,
    My Dad ordered an iPad (hasn't arrived yet) and I was going to help him set it up, but the tech specs says it needs at least OS X 10.5.8 and I have 10.4.11.
    Can I transfer files without syncing it with iTunes? Besides not being able to sync, is there anything else I can't do? Can I at least charge it with my Mac's USB port?
    thanks
    Jeff

    No you can not transfer files without syncing it to I Tunes. When you get it, you have to set up the I pad thru I tunes. If you have an I tunes account, you can go to another computer, sign into i tunes with your account. Then sign back out. It is pain, but that is the only way unless you upgrade. The charging question, I am not for sure.

  • Using Aperture with multiple Macs

    Hi, all -
    I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to share and manage a common photo library across different Macs. I'm about to buy a 2nd Mac (my wife and I will each have our own) and I'm curious how to best share the photo library between our two computers. Assume that the photos will be stored on a common server that is accessible to both. I'd like to use iPhoto on one Mac and Aperture on the other, but I haven't come up with a good way to make each application "aware" when I upload new pics to the server.
    What are other people doing to have a common photo library?
    What I'm currently doing is importing files from the camera to my local computer, moving files to the server, and then using EXIFtool to rename files by date/time they were taken and sorting into a directory structure based on YYYY/MM/DD. The main photo directory on the server is then shared with the other computers.

    I have two Mac's. Both happen to be MacBook Pros. One is the older 2.4 the other is the newer 2.66 (June 2009). I have always kept my Aperture Libraries on external hard drives. Currently I am Using Lacie 320 GB Firewire 800/400. However I am looking at getting the new Lacie eSATA 500 GB.
    Now all I have to do is plug in to either system I am using and open the Library. I have another one I use for the Vault for backing up.

  • 23" Monitor with Older Macs

    I am posting this here in case anybody needs help in the future.
    I just got a 23" HD monitor to use with an older Quicksilver 867 mhz G4 (not a dual one, from 2001). I had to install a new graphics card - I used the ATI Radeon 9200 which is compatible with the older G4's and also works with OS 10.2.8. At first the monitor did not work, unless it was mirrored with the older monitor, and it was at a poor resolution, so I had to remove the original graphics card (which was acting as the default and preventing the new monitor from working), and then reset the PRAM.
    As soon as I did all that, it worked. Since the ATI cards have DVI ports, I did not need to use an additional adapter cable.

  • Backing up iPad 4 with older mac

    Are there any options to backing up an iPad 4 to an older (G-4) Mac?  The only option that I have been shown is to buy a newer computer or to use the cloud.  This is for my 80 y.o. mother and we really don't want to buy her another computer but it is nice to back up locally without ultimately paying to use the cloud.  Suggestions?  I don't have her products in front of me but she has an iMac desk lamp version running the max OS 10.5.8. 

    The minimum requirements to sync and backup an iPad 4 would be Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on the Mac. You need an Intel Mac as well. your mother will have to backup to iCloud or upgrade the Mac. You get 5GB of storage for free with iCloud and purchased content does not count against the storage.

  • Iphoto will not sync with older mac?

    I have an older ibook, G3, with just a CD drive. I am running tiger 10.4.10 and iphoto 2.0. I understand that in order to sync photo's I need the latest version of iphoto which is included with ilife 08. Here is my problem, ilife 08 will not run on a G3 mac! Plus I don't have a DVD drive to instal it? So ... How in the heck can I get the latest version of iphoto on an older ibook?

    Create a folder in the location of your choice - named by whatever you choose but if you want to have an Album or multiple Albums of sorts, create these folders in the Pictures folder in your Home folder/directory - which should be the same location as your iPhoto library location.
    Export the chosen pictures from iPhoto to the created folder or folders placed in your Pictures folder.
    Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes at Sync Photos From, select the Pictures folder which should be available via the pop-up menu.
    Select - Selected Folders.
    The folder or multiple folders you created within your Pictures folder should be available in the window below. You can select each folder or a chosen folder. The number of pictures available within each folder should be available to the right of the folder name.
    Select Sync and you are done.
    To add additional photos to your iPhone, add chosen photos to the existing folder or folders created in your Pictures folder or create a new folder. This is the manual way of creating albums within iPhoto but serves the same purpose.

  • Using Aperture with two .Mac accounts

    I am moving all of my photos into Aperture 2, and we have two .Mac accounts for my office, one for business and one personal. My assistant's machine is set to the business .Mac account and my machine to my personal .Mac account.
    I would like to keep all of my photos in Aperture but deploy the photos into web galleries and websites on both .Mac accounts. I can see how to handle the web pages by outputting to disk and then dragging them into the right folder in each iDisk. But I can't see how to do this with web galleries. In the past, I've tried changing the .Mac account in the system preferences and then using iPhoto and iWeb. This doesn't seem like a good solution.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Right now, I've having to export the photos from Aperture and import them into iPhoto on my assistant's machine and then publishing the web galleries from her machine. There has to be a better way.
    Thanks,
    Alfred

    Multiple User accounts are the answer.
    Each is independent of the other and stores your iWeb files (on the same machine).

  • Best video card for Aperture with Power Mac G5

    Any suggestions for a good video card to use with a 2.0 GHz dual processor G5 (AGP video). The current card is an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with 64 MB of VRAM and the performance isn't fast enough to use Aperture for image edits -- sorts and metadata updates work well enough, but something like cropping is too slow to be workable.

    I looked long and hard for this card, and after waiting for months to get one, it finally arrived...DOA. I sent it back for exchange, and they had no more in stock, so my money was refunded. I looked again, and luckily found another one at a different retailer. It arrived and worked for about a month before artifacts started showing up. I sent it back to ATI for repair on December 4, and I still haven't gotten a replacement. The latest run of X800 cards that were retooled for ROHS compliance are crap. There are so many defective ones coming to their repair facility that repairs/replacements are taking more than 10 weeks.
    That being said, the difference it makes in Aperture over the 9600 is significant, but not earth-shattering. For RAW images, it won't make performance great, but it will at least be tolerable compared to what it is now. There's no other video card upgrade for an AGP G5 that is worth pursuing. Still, it's a rather expensive card at about $300, and considering the quality issues and how difficult they are to find, I'd say it's not worth the hassle. Save up for a new Mac instead. One of the new Mac Pros, even the 4-core model with the Radeon HD 2600 XT, is blazingly fast in Aperture compared to a maxed-out G5.
