10.5.3 with 8800GT and dual 30's still laggy

after a fresh boot of 10.5.3 and high hopes that all this talk of "graphics improvements" in 10.5.3, I would see a big boost in my horrendous UI performance. Alas, it seems not to be. Once again Apple has neglected to address this issue for its pro users:
http://skitch.com/rhuk/cpnt/untitled
total score of 32.71 for the UI as reported by XBench. With monitors "mirrrored" i can get it 272.23:
http://skitch.com/rhuk/cpns/untitled
very dissapointed in 10.5 and this 8800GT.

Apple didn't but I found a site that was more complete and listed a number of improvements to OpenGL.
I sort of expected to see a "Graphics Update 2.0" show up in Apple Software Update as they did with 10.5.2 again. Could still happen or not.
Maybe waiting for something new or new drivers aren't ready. It took ATI and Nvidia most of 2007 to get their drivers cleaned up and optimized for Vista 32/64 which were a leading cause of problems, complaints, and errors. Time to evolve is not something that seems to happen over-night.

Mac Pro, Leopard 10.5.2, Photoshop CS3, 8800GT and Dual Monitors - Crashing

Hi, I received my Mac Pro (with Nvidia 8800GT) earlier this week and set it up with my dual monitors. I soon discovered that Photoshop CS3 crashes when scrolling a 'zoomed in' image with dual monitors. Photoshop is setup so that all palettes are on the smaller samsung monitor and the main image window I'm working on is on the 23" cinema display.
I've updated both the OS and CS3 but cannot solve the problem unless I switch to a single view setup, ie, drag all the palettes over to the larger monitor so that photoshop is no longer dual monitor. Then it works fine. Although it's a workaround, it's not an ideal situation. Has anyone else found this to be an issue? Have you found a solution?
I've also re-installed Photoshop, visited a genius bar and changed mice!
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

My Mac Pro had been running 3 Dell monitors on two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards for months, and with the (I think) Safari update all of a sudden the Mac freezes, 1 monitor displays garbledy gook, and the other is blank with a blinking power light. That is, until yesterday when the power light refused to come on. So I says to myself, "Self, how about testing them on my iBook?" The 1704FPT will not power on, plugged in to a computer or not. The 1707FP shakes like crazy when starting up on the iBook, then settles in and seems to work. Meanwhile, the SP2008WFP is working alone on the Mac Pro, but not totally trouble-free. What the heck is going on?

4500X with VSS and Dual-Active Fast-Hello

Hello,
ich have two pairs of 4500X-32, with other word two vss-systems in a test environment. IOS running version is 03.05.02.E.152-1.E2, dual-active detection with a fast-hello link is running. When i pull the VSL connectors to simulate a failure the active switch go into recovery-mode. After the vsl is restored the switch in recovery-mode start a reboot as desired. The configuration is saved and if i repeat the procedure, all is working fine. But when i start the systems the next day and begin to test the dual-active detection again, the vsl port stucks in " waiting to be aggregated" after restoring it. No reboot happens, the only solution is to reboot the switch manually. After that this misbehavior is repeating. Only setting the dual-active detection interfaces to its default, and reconfiguring them for fast-hello dual active detection again brings the feature back to normal operation:
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/12
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
dual-active fast-hello
Both vss systems shows the same behavior from time to time, i have no explanation, can somebody help?
Regards, Stephan

Fast hello is not supported for the 4500 series unless you are running the latest version of the IOS (3.5E)

Fans noisy with Maverick and dual screen

Hi,
I use a second screen on my MBP.
Since I have installed Maverick 10.9.1, the fans rotate at 5500 rpm all the time (even when I do nothing). And... it's noisy !
If I unconnect the 2nd screen, after seconds, the fans rotate slowlier.
When I was on Mountain Lion, this problem wasn't.
I try a SMC reset with no success.
I don't know if there is a solution or if I must wait for the new release of Maverick.
Thankl's for your help.

Either use separate X (gnome remembers things properly then) or learn to deal with not having that many panels . Separate X means you can't drag windows from screen to screen.

Issue with dock and dual monitors

After unplugging my MacBook (Late 2008) from my Samsung External Monitor, my dock disappears and requires a "killall Dock" in Terminal to reappear. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.
PS- Running 10.5.8 and it happens all the time.
Thanks again.

could have something to do with how you are sharing your desktop b/t the laptop and the monitor... try resetting your monitor to "clone" or resetting your home screen to the laptop BEFORE unplugging the external monitor--

Safari-Bookmarks won't sync with iCloud and other devices, MobileMe still "active"?

Hello, I've got a problem with my iMac runnning 10.7.5
"He" does not want to sync bookmarks (safari) from the local iMac to anywhere else.
(I also use a Macbook white, iPad 1 and iPhone 4).
Not to other devices, not to iCloud.
I can switch off and on the "sync bookmarks"-checkbox as often as i want - nothing happens after "merge".
One ore maybe interesting Information:
In my system-Settings i can still click on "MobileMe" and the button "move to iCloud" ist still shown.
If I press the button, I see the Erorr-message "mobileme has ended" or something linke this.
If I start the MobileMe-"Application", I get an error after some seconds "service not available".
Some months ago i changed from a older iMac to the newer one (using TimeMachine-Restore).
I can not remember if the problem came with this switch or not.
Any hints?
Thanks!
Greetings from the cold Germany.

Yes, I could disconnect from Mobileme but this does not change anything regarding the problem.
bookmarks are still not transfered to other devices.
In the system-Settings, the mobileMe-Entry is still available and I coud try to "sign on to mobileme"
Disable and enable bookmark-sync after disconnecting from mobileme does not change anything.
The Merge of the Bookmars (question comes after disable and enable again) takes ohly 0,0005 seconds to merge. Very fast.
One more thing: if I log on to iCloud, I can nowhere find anything regarding bookmarks.
Where to find the bookmarks online normally??? I remember some years ago, using the running mobileme-service, i could access my bookmarks from any pc all around the world...
Any further hints?

Email address with hyphens and periods are invalid - still not fixed after 2.01 update

When I use the native messaging app in OS2 I cannot send or reply to an email address that has a period and a hyphen in it.
the address i'm sending to is [email protected]
the address turns red whether in a reply or selecting the address from the address book. When trying to send an Invalid Address message appears that says "the address fields include one or more invalid addressses. please correct or remove address and try again."
8000 fixes in the new update and this isn't one of them? Why? When will this be fixed - very irritating.

Please, Lost_at-Sea, this is not a typo, it happens when I hit reply! It's also not a bounce message (which is what I would receive if I typed the address wrongly), it's an error message from the email app.
Blackberry staff have confirmed this is a bug in the forums and there is an open issue for it since mid-April.
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB30115&sliceId=2&cm...
I think it's a combination of two dots and a hyphen that does it; I haven't heard of anyone unable to email to [email protected], but I might be wrong.

N73 ME not working in Network Mode GSM and Dual Mo...

Dear All,
I have N73 ME.
Firmware: V 4.0812.4.2.1
I am using Vodafone Line and I am living in egypt.
I have a problem with the network of the device. The device is working fine only with the Network Mode UMTS, but not working with GSM and Dual Mode, which makes it doesnot have network signal in many areas, while I have another Nokia 5200 phone whick works fine in these areas.
Is it a Software or Hardware problem?
and what is the solution for it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the mac mini server the same hardware as the other mac minis (except for the quad core i7 and dual hard drives) with different software or is it configured differently?

I have a mac mini with an i7 dual core processor. It is perceptably slower than my macbook pro with a quad core i7. Does the mac mini server have the same hardware configuation as the regular mac mini with server software or is the hardware different (aside from the i7 quad core and dual hard drives)? I want a mini with a quad core i7...

Your assumption is correct. The server does however only
have the Intel HD3000 graphics like the base model with
no option, at this time, for the discrete graphics chip. So,
depending on what you are using it for, that could be a deal
breaker. Remember that your MBP does have a discrete
graphics chip.
I have a 2011 Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display
that gets used as an engineering workstation and general
personal use (some photo editing, LP restoraton, general
internet browsing). You simply just not enable any of the
server services. I find the combination to work quite well
for my purposes. I also have a 13" 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro
which is pretty much strictly for work. As far as CPU
power it is pretty much equivelent to your Mini. For the most
part I find the Mini does outperfom my MBP. I heavily use
Parallels and Windows7 virtual machines, so the more cores
the better.
So, If you do a lot of CPU intensive stuff that is multithreaded,
the Server may help. If it is graphics intensive and your software
heavily leaverages the GPU, you may actually take a hit on
performance.

Dual G5 late 2004. Some problems with fan and freeze and now can't start

I just purchased a late 2004 Dual 2.5 Gig, with PCI-x and 1 gig ethernet. 1 Gig of what I presume to be factory ram and blue toothe. Connected to a new 23" Apple display.
The problems I have been having pale to where I stand now. I am stuck and can't move forward. At this point, the computer is off. When I try to turn it on, it does little to nothing and gradually the fan speed increases until the computer sounds like it wants to take off. The screen either stays dark, or sometimes I see the ? briefly, and then the grey screen with logo and that is where it stops. Currently I can't get past a lot of fan noise??
Can I get this thing started?? I have tried both starting from CD and hard drive. No luck.
This whole mess started yesterday and has continually gotten worse. Those details I can get into if needed, but for now, what can I do to see the screen and start over.
I just bought the machine, and I was doing a clean install that was acting funny. Hard drive sleep mode would cause the machine to not wake up. Specifically it was the monitor that would not wake up. The keyboard and the computer would still respond when I adjusted the volume. The screen was black.
I narrowed the problem to drive sleep, or monitor sleep by using the energy saver preferences. Just the monitor sleeping wasn't the probem. The computer would wake up. But if the hard drive went to sleep, then I could never get the screen back and the computer acted dormant. The only thing I could get was the volume sound from the computer and lights on the keyboard.
I ran Techtool Pro 4.1.2 ( i think ) and it reported possibe problems on the hard drive with the volume. I made the changes hoping that would fix the problem? No.
I decided to flush it all and start over with the install cd, make sure firmware was good, reformat the drive, and then install the System. But instead, I got caught is this loop of death that I can't get out of.
It had a kernal panic the first day I turned it on, but that was the last one. (dark screen with white message) The computer ran rather sluggish at times. I was shocked at times. Very slow finder response.
So? Suggestions? I have searched Apple support and tried anything I can think of. This is my first G5, but I have had some exposure to OSX beginning around 10.2. I am at my wits end and would greatly appreciate some input. For now I have to get some sleep.
Is my battery bad? It just won't start?
Thank you for any help you can provide, or links to articles!!

Hi Lawson, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
You could try a PMU/SMU reset
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
Use the second procedure if you have a button as shown in the photo - use the first method if you don't. You may not have to remove the intake fan assembly to get at the button. Observe static precautions and make sure to press the button once only.
Then try to start up on the CD/DVD.
If it fires up ok you could then proceed with the 10.4 install as before, and then combo update to 10.4.8
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
I would connect only a display, wired keyboard and mouse to start with - and disable any of the sleep, etc. Options in Energy Saver.
You may wish to use the Disk Utility on the 10.4 retail disc(under Utilities in the menu) to Erase and zero(select Security Options) the drive before the install.
The kernel panic and other problems could have been caused by a corrupted system on the boot drive, or by hardware problems, such as RAM, video card, battery, etc. Some of the hardware stuff is linked-to further down the post here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3084827&#3084827
However, try the PMU/SMU reset and erase/install first, and post again with details if you still have problems.

Problem with dual currency when working with AMEX and VISA

Hi all,
We are in process of implementing SAP travel on demand with integration of AMEX and VISA corporate cards. Paymentric was in charge of our configuration and the information is comming to our system now.
As per our set up, the statements are being procesed with errors, due the currency we are receiving the charges is USD instead of country home currency. Example -> Argentinian employee travel to Brazil, and paid with BRL currency. We are receiving the statements in USD instead of BRL (There is a validation in the tool which cannot process statements in other than local currency)
I spoke with AMEX and VISA representatives, and both says that they work with dual currency model, so changing the currency in the statements is not a possibility.
Are we missing something in the config? I was reading information and discover that other countries like China are having same issue.
Thanks for your help,
Hernán

Hi Hernán,
credit card statements usually contain two currencies:
1. 1. Local Currency: if the Argentinian employee travels to Brazil and buys something there, the local currency would be BRL
2. 2. Billed Currency: this is the currency in which the credit card is billed (according to the credit card setup). Each transaction is converted to the billed currency in case of foreign transactions.
Cloud for Travel and Expenses knows for each employee exactly one home currency. An expense report is always processed with home currency.
Up to release 1502 it is not possible to import credit card transactions if the credit card billed currency does no match the employee’s home currency (there is no restriction to the local currency).
As of release 1505 this is possible, but it has to be activated in Business Configuration:
Travel and Expenses -> Expense Reimbursement -> Expense Input Channels -> Group: Credit Card -> Do you want to import credit card transactions with a credit card currency that differs from the home currency of the employee?
In addition, you must use the new posting interface "SAP ERP Financials Using IDoc (with extensibility)". If you detect settlement deviations or differences on the reconciliation or credit card account (split payment) due to the currency exchange rates in your financial system, you can correct this situation by implementing BAdIs in the ERP system.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Ralph

Issue with HP Z820 64GB RAM and dual Quadro K4000's and rendering and playback performance

I'm having major issues with performance on my system (running windows 8.1. Premiere CC 7.2.2). My friend in the office here has a Mac Pro (2013) with 6 core cpu and dual D500's and I have dual Xeon 2665's and dual K4000's.
The problem is that he can export twice as fast as me on mercury software and almost 3 times faster on Mercury GPU. He can also add twice as many affects before his system drops frames (using same settings and video file). When I go to GPU-Z my gpu's are hardly working with GPU export selected... with software only my CPU's get to 60% load max whereas his CPU get's to about 84%. Am I missing something? I know the D500's are almost the same as W8000's (and he has two), but dual K4000's shouldn't be that far behind? And how does selecting cpu exporting get him an export time of 6 minutes compared to my 15 minutes when I have a 32 threads to work with??
Am I doing something wrong? Have I got a setting somewhere that is causing this that I might have missed? Are dual D500's really THAT much better than dual K4000's? AND HOW is my 7k+ machine that much worse than his £3200 mac?
Please help. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks
Edit - Would just like to add that the video files we are using are pro res 422 and that I have the latest bios and latest nvidia performance drivers

That HP Z820 should kick the Mac pros butt! For example we run Autodesk Flame systems ( 150k software) on the Z820's with Quadro 6000 cards and they fly. We also had a new mac pro in for testing a few months ago w the dual fire pro cards all decked out and it was crap next the the Z820. Of cource the new MP cant run allot of highend software because of its lack of nvidia support and the firepros lack of open GL but we did run premier and smoke etc on it for testing. ( Although i thought it looked cool the total lack of exandability and nvida support was to much so we sent it back). Graphic workstations need PCIe expandability and a choice in GPs.
Anyhow here are a few observations:
-Software being used will dertermine the hardware purchased,
-The dual xeons at the much lower clock speed are meant to work 24/7 like a lamans endurance race, not a sprint race. Better to get highest frequency xeons.
-Having dual CPUs with all thoughs cores will only work with a software that is properly mulithreaded, premier is definetly not one of those softwares so you not getting any advantage.
- the advantage to Quadro cards are much more noticable in 3d tha 2d. If your running Autodesk maya, 3ds max or the recently disscontinued XSI you would be flying compared to the W7000.
-dual GPU cards do not preform at twice the speed. On average the second card gives about a 10 percent boost.
-At present ( and as akways) , nividia Quadro drivers are much more uptodate and bug free compared to ATI highend cards. This will inevitably change as openCL over takes openGL, until then Quadros are the clearly superior cards for those with DEEP pockets.
-I think you would have been far better off with a single Quadro 6000 vs dual K4000s. Also any higher end ATI firepro card would have worked since Premier now uses open CL and no longer needs openGL. Main advantage to Quadro at this point ( besides 3D ) is to be compatible with the most softwares and get the best and most optimized drivers. Firepros will work properly in far fewer softwares at this point but I can see a day over the next few years this may change but not as of yet in 2014. So his W7000 wins this sprint race in this single simple example but in most any other situations your cards will actually work and win. I like saving money like the next guy but I even purchase Quadro cards for my home use and experimenting, but Im not a gamer.
-FYI: Cuda core count no longer is true measure. For example older Fermi cards worked at twice the frequency than the newer kepler architecture so in effect today you need double ( actually more) the amount of cuda cores to equal the older cards. Also the true compute power in the new Keplers is also much inferior to the older cards. Its all creative advertiseing today more akin to creative accounting / smoke and mirrors. What im trying to explain is when people read the charts that show the cuda core count and say the higest is best is completely not true. It may have the most "cores" but it will not render correctly, double percision is missing, colors may pop, anti aliasing is inferior and inconsistant, interaction ( most important) and shaders will be buggy or missing. There are very good reasons people spend money on highend Quadro cards but the charts and reviews generically speaking never understand or can even test for this stuff.
-Even given the above scenarios your Z820 should be killing your competition. Using a decked out Z820 is way overkill for anything CC. ( Kinda like driving an F1 to get groceries.) get your HP rep to come over and replace / test your rig. Its free and covered in your coverage.
I am CLEARLY not a tech guy as my talent in is creation and design but I overhear the tech guys talking.

Thanks,

Linksys/Cisco E4200 are compatible with DHCP. Second, these Wireless-N routers are only capable of enabling the VPN traffic to pass through the device. You will need a VPN router and software to create the actual network to connect with your VPN client.

Dual boot with lion and mavericks?

WDS with Airport express and Dual ethernet Airport base

Can the airport express and dual ethernet airport base create a wds? I can't find the options on the airport base's software.

The Dual Ethernet (snow) AirPort base station (ABS) does not support WDS.
Only the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and AirPort Express (AX) support WDS.
