7 angles (cameras) edit - is it possible for iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo?

or i want too much?
Hi there! I have 7 tracks of ProRes HQ 1920 X 1080 50i to perform a multitrack edit. Problem is - doesn't show a realtime preview, so i can't choose a proper track
Is it possible with my iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo, 2 Gigs of RAM, + strip 1TB raid? I guess i'm in lack of memory If i increase the amount of RAM to, lets say, 8 Gigs - would it solve a problem?
If not - is there a way of some low resolution editing? Thanks

ProRes HQ, certainly not. Definitely not over Firewire and almost certainly not over even the internal drive (not that you'd want media on your system drive anyways). Yes for low-res editing, it's called offline editing. Someone else will probably have a lint for you to Kenstone or Creative Cow to easily tell you what to do, but when I did it for me, I went from DVCPro HD to DV NTSC. As long as you export the correct timecode, you should be set to then edit in that offline format's sequence then Media Manage back to the full-quality files.
Hope this helps,
-Brian

  • Which install DVDs on ebay for imac 20" tiger  intel core duo?

    Hi everbody.
    Those folks selling install DVD's on ebay don't usually specify which machine their discs are for.PLUS THEY DONT ACCEPT RETURNS.
    Anyone know how I can determine which Tiger discs will restore my imac 20" intel core duo SERIAL NUMBER W86****NU2P ???
    Any help will be great, thanks!!
    Jorge in SA

    Please don't post your serial number in your post.  Take a look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159#iMac it will have the version of Mac OS that came with your iMac.  Try to match that with the DVDs on eBay.  Or you can always call Apple to order it.

  • What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
    Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
    You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
    For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
    This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • My iMac has an Intel Core Duo processor, what can be done to upgrade to Lion?

    my IMac has an Intel Core Duo processor.  What can be done it to allow me to upgrade to Lion?

    Got 2GB of RAM and 7GB of disk space as well?
    Got current BACKUPs in case something goes horribly wrong?
    If so, upgrade/update to 10.6.6 or later and The App Store icon appears. For US$29.99, you can download Lion.
    If you fear you will need a DVD of it, you must make one after downloading and BEFORE you install, as the image is consumed during the Install, and not available afterward.

  • Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?

    Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded?  Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8.  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006

  • G4 iMac migrates to Intel Core Duo

    I just migrated the contents of my 17” G4 iMac to a 20” Core Duo. The only piece of software that wouldn’t run on the new Mac was Nikon Capture 4.4.1; upon launching, it told me that it was missing necessary files. I reloaded the software from my original 4.0 discs. This time the error message said to click to go to PACE and run the installer, which I did. The installer claimed to run successfully, but NC4 still claimed to be missing files. At this point I went to the NikonUSA website and downloaded the NC4.2 updater. After running this and rebooting, NC4 ran just fine. I finally updated it back to V4.4.1, which also works properly.
    Rosetta notwithstanding, compared to running NC4 on the G4, it’s much faster. Opening a D200 RAW file on the Core Duo is about as fast as opening a D2h file on the G4--not instantaneous, but reasonable at around 7 seconds. Same goes for edit files.
    With 2 gigs of RAM on the Core Duo, NC doesn’t suck up all the memory, as it did on the 1 gig G4. No “page outs” when working on several RAW files at a time. This is much better performance than I had been expecting from it.
    PSE3 work reasonably well, too. Faster than on the G4, at least.
    While I was trying to get NC4 to work again, I did play around with iPhoto6. It seems very fast and has some interesting features, so I’ll probably start using it too.
    All the included iLife6 programs seem to work well, and much faster than on the G4.
    I had no problems with any peripherals except a very old USB CameraMate Compact Flash card reader, for which the OS X driver appears to no longer function. A no-name card reader I got for free from OMax works fine, though. So does my Epson 1650 flatbed ( I use PSE3 to access it), a QPS external firewire drive and an Epson 1270 printer. No problems with Wi-Fi or ethernet,either. When I plugged the ethernet cable fron the Core Duo into my Airport Extreme base, the computer automatically switched its settings from Airport to ethernet--neat!
    This is the seventh Mac I’ve owned and the easiest migration so far. The improvements in performance and in the quality of the display greatly exceed my expectations.

  • Creator 2 for OS X on Intel Core Duo?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the current Creator2 release for Mac OS X supports the machines with the new Intel Core Duo chips (e.g. iMac)? If not, does anyone know when the new machines are expected to be supported?
    I tried installing Creator2 on an iMac Intel machine and it failed with this error:
    "The RAVE_J2EE_HOME environment variable is set. This variable needs to be unset before installation."
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the response and I look forward to Creator 2 on MacIntel!
    As far as RAVE_J2EE_HOME, I have no idea why the installer is complaining that it is set. I haven't installed anything on the machine prior to trying to install Creator 2 and I definitely didn't manually set it (I've never heard of the variable before). Doing an echo of the variable in Terminal gives nothing. Since I now realize that I was trying to install Creator 2 on an unsupported platform, I guess all bets are off on the installer as well. I will just try again when the MacIntel version is out.

  • Will FCP X work on an iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor?

    FCP X requirements are for a 64bit processor.
    The Intel Core Duo is 32bit, so does that mean FCP X will not work at all on it?
    Or will it work but with reduced performance capabilities?

  • RAM maxi for iMac 2,4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    thanks a lot in advance : is it a good idear to have 6 GB in RAM DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz-( 4GB + 2 GB )-
    on my iMac,  processor 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ( 20-inch ) ?

    This one ?

    If you or your Mac really needs the 6GB RAM than sure.
    The slight decrease in speed due to not using paired-RAM isn't comparable to the gain you get from the additional RAM.
    Have you used Activity Monitor as described in here Mac OS X: Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor to determine whether you need more RAM ?

  • Using Migration Assistant from iMac G5 to Intel Core Duo

    I've developed a problem while transferring files using Migration Assistant.
    I've inadvertently created two accounts. I misunderstood what was going to happen when renaming one of them. I thought I had to change the old home folder/user name to avoid a conflict when creating a new Admin/user acct on the new computer .... don't ask!! So, I now have several folders: some that came on the new iMac, the others that read 'from the old Mac'. It's apparently the new login/acct name that's linked to the 'from the old Mac' files . Hope this is making sense.
    If I go up to the top right menu and select the newly named acct., it rotates and brings up all the settings and preferences I wanted transferred and obviously were. If I use the old login name, it's just the basic iMac settings without my settings, prefs,etc..
    How can I delete the basic acct. and use the imported settings/preferences? I want only one Admin Acct./log in with my imported settings/prefs. Do I delete folders and rename the 'from the old Mac' to just the folder name? I've read some of what Kappy has said aout migrating files from the G5 to the Intel, and I know he's an expert, he's helped me before, but in truth, I don't really understand what he's saying about how to migrate to the Intel.
    Can someone offer some advice? I'd appreciate it.

    You may not want to keep the Home folder you've migrated. See the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • IMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM

    The Internet is frequently very slow.  I am hard wired to the TimeWarner Motorola cable modem, but also have a new router with 5 GHz that has a Firewire port.  Would my Internet speed increase substantially by hard wiring to the router by Firewire?
    My MacBook with 4GB RAM is much faster via a wireless connection.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or comments.

    Unfortunately, connecting your iMac by Firewire directly to a router which then connects to the cable modem will Not increase the speed of your Interent connection relative to directly connecting your iMac to the cable modem.  Your iMac's network speed is at your ISP's delivered maximum directly through the cable modem.  All the router would add is the ability to share the cable modem's  output signal  among multiple connected computers. I believe you are experiencing the fact that the internal hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.) of your older iMac may be slower in processing the ISP's internet signal than your more powerful MacBook.
    Hope this helps:)

  • Imac intel core duo random shutdown

    My iMac 2006 (late) intel core duo 2ghz shuts down regularly after brief periods of activity. As soon as I turn it on, the HD fan spins at around 5000rpm according to istat pro. All other fan speeds and temperatures are normal.I need to unplug it for at least an hour in order to successfully boot up again, an then the same thing happens over again. A new HD was recently installed with the Mac OS extended (journaled) scheme on , and someone mentioned it should have been as GUID scheme. Can that be a possible culprit ? I dusted it all out, changed the ram for new and even changed the power cord.

    it should have been as GUID scheme
    Yes - any Intel Mac needs to be GUID partition scheme in order to be bootable. So, if yours boots up without a problem, then it should be ok. Check Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
    What OS version are you running? I'd suggest booting from your disks (not knowing which version I can't be specific - but one should have AHT (Apple Hardware Test) included. See these instructions on how to run it (use the extended test) and post any messages or results you get:
