Another Usable RAM thread.

Hi. I have read through the threads about the windows 32-bit ram issue. I have disabled switchable graphics yet I still only have 2.49 GB out of 4 GB
I justed added a new 2 gig stick. What else could be eating up the ram?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Disabling switchable graphics may not be enough to fix the issue. I am assuming you are forcing discrete. You can download the latest notebook drivers from the AMD website or download the non-switching version of the drivers from Lenovo's site. The switchable drivers will still reserve the ram for the integrated graphics which will lower your free ram.

Yet another grey folder thread, help!

Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

How can I install another 4G Ram to my MBP (i.e. 8G Ram in total) and how much is it?

How can I install another 4G Ram to my MBP (i.e. 8G Ram in total) and how much is it?

If your MBP is the 2012 model that you have listed, then you can go up to 16GB.
You can get the ram from OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM

What is the actual usable RAM in the 128GB Macbook Air?

I'm considering purchasing a Macbook Air with 128GB of RAM, but want to know what the actual usable RAM is taking into account the OS and other installed programs?

plus or minus a few hundred MB

Add another 4gb ram for g6-2148tx

Is it a good idea to add another 4gb ram to my new g6-2148tx laptop? How much is the maximum ram for it? What type ram do I need? Do I need to match exactly the same as pre setup one?
Thanx

Hi,
The max number is 8GB (4GB + 4GB). Depending the current configuration:
(a) if 2GB + 2GB: you have to throw them out to get 2 + 4,
(b) if 4GB + 0GB: you need only one piece.
I can't find its full specs on HP (both Oz & Kiwi) therefore please use the following program to find out the right specs for RAM:

Can anyone help?? Another new MacPro thread....

Hi all.
Another person here having big issues with PP CC 2014 on the new MacPro..
A little background;
I've been having issues with PP for years. Previously I was a photographer, and Lightroom was my software of choice. That was a great Adobe experience, pretty faultless software really...
Then when I moved to video it was a different story... obviously it's a whole different ballgame dealing with video files, I've not had much luck with my editing workflow!
I was working off an underpowered PC first, then was on a few Macbook Pros. Eventually, I got the go ahead to get a new MacPro from my employer, I thought that would solve all my problems! How wrong I was!
Even after the apparent "fix" for the GPU issues, I'm still having problems...
I'm no Adobe basher....No one wants PP to work well more than me (Al Mooney got highly offended on Twitter after I suggested PP might be slightly less than perfect!)
I'm hoping I might get some tips to improve performance or even a fix for the issues I'm having.
Here's the gist of my specs, can give more if needed;
Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
My main drive is a G RAID 8GB TB2
So,
My main issue is that when a sequence gets more complex, the performance dips massively, to the point where it's unusable and crashes constantly.
The timeline freezes, the playhead is laggy, the system gets really slow to respond in general..... Maybe 15 seconds for the keyboard to respond to keypresses. (or else I need to tap spacebar twice instead of once to get it to respond). If I try to make any change on the timeline that anything more than a simple delete etc, the system can freeze and I need to force quit.
Another symptom is that when quitting the program, often it doesn't quit properly and I need to force quit.
The sequences I'm working on don't seem that demanding (especially give the machine I have) so it's really confusing as to what the issue is.
We're talking videos usually in the 2 -5 minutes range. Maybe 4 video layers. Footage wise; generally 1080p XAVC from a Sony F5, some Canon 4K from a 1DC. Can PP really handle native footage, should I be transcoding??? One of the big benefits of PP is the apparent ability to handle native formats, so it's really disappointing if that's the issue....
I do use a reasonable amount of plugins, like Izotope for denoising dialogue, the dreaded Red Giant plugins, and occasionally Red Giant Denoiser (is this the root of my problems??!). My current project has two layers keyed interviews (2 angles) and I'm using Ultrakey for that. (I bought Red Giant Primatte Keyer, but my system isn't powerful enough to run it without major issues....ridiculous!!)
If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've read other threads but my issue seems different. I can't rule out that I'm making some obvious mistake in my workflow either... so any general workflow best practise tips in that regard would be good too.
Sorry for the long thread and thanks for reading.

Hi healyb2,
Sorry you're experiencing this issue.
I think I've identified one of the issues, Izotope 4 Dialogue Denoiser.....
I've disabled it on an existing sequence and the crashes have stopped (for now).
Let us know if these issues crop up again. You can let us know directly here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
So, possibly (like Red Giant) Izotope plugins may not work usably in Premiere Pro....... which really grinds my gears......
Actually, we work hand in hand with plug-ins developers in the realm of compatibility. Some of these plug-ins companies are quite small so you have to pay close attention to precisely what is supported for the host application. In some cases, it takes some time to catch up to the latest versions.
why are Adobe not calling out the plugins as not usable? What about the plugin manufacturers themselves? I can't see this being a performance issue on my end...frustrating!
That's actually up to the plug-ins manufacturers. Please communicate with them accordingly regarding compatibility. Sorry for any confusion this may have brought about.
Thanks,
Kevin

Another SLOW Lightroom Thread

Just another thread to document the major issues I'm having with Lightroom 4.
System: Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i7-720QM, 8 GB RAM 1333MHz, 500 GB HD, ATI Radeon 4670 1GB with Wacom Intuos 5
Working in the Develop module has been completely unacceptable and is costing me hours of editing time and frustrating, which means its costing me money. Everything from navigating between photos to adjusting slider bars seems to be laggy to put it lightly. After using the Adjustment Brush, making universal changes is taking forever! And if I got back to create an additional adjustment with the Adjustment Brush tool, it's almost not even worth it because it is so slow to respond. Similar to the slow downs after using the Adjustment Brush tool, any changes made after making any adjustments in the Lens Correction tab seem to be super sluggish as well. Oh top of it all, my computer is running extremely hot when running Lightroom, which ever occured in past versions!
I've tried several suggestions that I've seen in forums, such as creating a fresh Catalog and importing the files directly into that new Catalog, hiding the Histogram to free up resources, reducing the size of the Catalog to just the working set I'm currently working on... I've now installed the 4.1 RC and do seem to see some increase in response with the sliders within the develop module, but once I start using the Adjustment Brush and Lens Correction, it seems to be back to it's sluggish self. And after editing a few photos, the entire program is crawling.
I think it's great that Adobe has such a strong following that people seem to be so understanding and patient about these issues, but find it unacceptable that such an unpolished release was issued to the public. If the issues are eventually remedied I will be fully on board with Lightroom, once again, because I do think that the revamped develop module has been a major improvement for editing and workflow, but all those improvements are pretty useless when I'm losing so many hours battling with performance issues.

No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

Another system freeze thread

My apologies in advance on the possible redundancy... I'm a long time Mac user (1985 & a little Fat Mac), and I've never been discouraged with a problem such as this. I don't claim to be an expert, but I've seen alot through the years.
I've had my G5 (Dual 2GHz PowerPC, 2GB SDRAM, OS 10.4.7) for going on 3 years now, and just the other day for the first time I started to experience random freezes. Total system freezes, where the cursor begins to spin endlessly and the clock stops. (I used to believe that pressing the capslock key could identify whether the system was just lagging, or indeed frozen if the light came on... The light would come on, but the system never caught up.) The only way to get my system back is to power-cycle.
This happens to me sometimes just after the computer has booted and is just sitting there (I have no apps set to automatically load up). Sometimes it happens when I double-click to open my HD. It will sometimes happen randomly after selecting various apps to open from the Dock or from their file in the Applications folder. I've tried leaving my Activity Monitor open to see what happens just as it freezes, but I can't catch anything.
I've removed all external devices, stripped it down to just the G5, the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
I zapped the PRAM.
I have run all of the Disk, Permissions and Cache drills...
I have Onyx installed and have used both it's maintenance tools and cleaning tools...
I have used DiskWarrior to verify the directory (it has come back clean) and replaced it anyway with a fresh copy. (I've used v.3.0.3 - compatible with Tiger.)
I boot it back up, and bam - just when I least expect it I freeze up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Mike

Hi, I have the same problem too since a year or so. (I also own a G5 dual 2GH, 1GB RAM).
The freezes became frequent with Tiger 10.4 and every day get worst. Today I'm 10.4.7.
I've taken to support service and, along a year, the hard driver have been replaced once, RAM once too, the motherboard has been replaced twice and first a micro and last the other (few days ago) have been replaced too.
My G5 keeps freezing. Some times with kernel errors on screen, but major times the screen freezes and in few minutes, the fans begin to spin fast and loudly.
Many times after the freeze the system can be rebooted and is usable (no freezes in hours), but sometimes it keep freezing and "refreezing" and so on and I can not use the system in days.
Any times the freezes ocurs when I'm logged in the system, other when is booting (you can see the spinning gear and suddenly it stops). Another times the system frezzes before it begin to load the sistem.
Does any one have a solution.
TIA
Antonio Peinado
PS My son has an identical G5 bought both together and works fine, no freeze in two years.

Yea yea... another 1066 ram problem

so i'd hate to thread crap here... but i need some help
im like the guy posting above, i have some ocz 1066mhz ram rated at 5-5-5-15@ 2.1v
i asked on the ocz boards for help too, and they suggested i lower it to5-5-5-18, 2T, tRFC 60 and 2.1V , but that still fails to be stable after 10 minutes of use.
now i know this ram is fine at 5-5-5-15, and i wouldnt mind running it at 5-5-5-18.. but to have none of them work, is just kinda annoying.
it ran fine on my old mobo, but i got a p45 neo2 to replace it last month, but i have never been able to get it stable at 1066 mhz on the msi board... and now its too late to return the dang board.
i have flashed bios 3.4, but the problems still occur
any solutions?
a quick google showed that a beta 3.51 bios exists that is better, or even that bios 3.2 is better for clocking ram to 1066mhz
do any of you guys have any advice?
also, if there is a new bios, i couldnt find a link on this forum or the msi site that goes past 3.4, and i dont trust flashing bios' totally random sources, so i was wondering if there was a link anywhere on the msi forum or the msi website

If you read the specifications on the website, the 1066 mem is marked with an *, and a clear indication that this is OC. OC is not guaranteed to work by any manufacturer. I just did a build with another manufacturers board, also based on the P45 chipset, same indication, 1066 is regarded as OC. How is that false advertising by MSI if they clearly indicate this as being OC?
I expected the same from my own P45 board and ran through the exact frustrations that you are experiencing.
Just recently the beta BIOS I am using now allows me to go to 1066 at 5.5.5.15 without problems, but my tests have shown that there is no significant gain in performance over DDR2-800.
To blame MSI will not solve the P45 chipset design specifications. 1066 is OC.Find the right BIOS, RAM and CPU combination and it may work. It becomes a discussion of numbers though, as the gain is not worth the trouble.
Edit: Also refer to the Intel specs regarding the P45 chipset. http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/p45/p45-overview.htm

MSI 785GM-E51 - Amount of usable RAM in Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Hello i have the following system:
Mobo: MSI 785GM-E51
Bios: AMI v 2.3
CPU: AMD Phenom II 955 BE @ 3.2Ghz
Memory: 2 dimms of ( KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/2G DDR3 2GB PC10666 1333MHZ VALUE RAM ) , Total 4Gb
GPU: Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro with 256mb RAM
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
The specific motherboard has an onboard ATI 4200 vga. I've installed the Radeon x1950 pro from day 1 and in the bios settings the onboard vga option reads disabled. However windows 7 during install always recognize both x1950 pro an 4200 and provide drivers. In windows device manager i have the 4200 disabled. However windows display that from the 4GB of installed ram only 3,75GB is usable. Is this normal? Isn't supposed to have all my memory available since the onboard vga is disabled? And if it is disabled from start how windows 7 detect it during installation and suggest corresponding drivers ? I'm looking forward for your opinions and suggestions
Thanks in advance...

Usable RAM Issue (2.17GB out of 4GB)

Hello all,
I'm using a 15' early 2011 macbook pro (nothing modified; default specs)
its running mac os X mountain lion and windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on Boot camp
i usually have 4GB RAM, but when i check my system specs in windows, it shows "installed memory (RAM): 4GB (2.17GB Usable)".
and it is actually only using 2 GB, because when i open task manager, it shows memory usage; when its about 1.3GB its halfway full (filling bar)
why does this happen? Does the problem depend on my OS or is it just the hardware?
Thanks in advance

No.
Your computer is 64 bit
64 bit Windows runs 32 bit programs.
New programs are written for 64 bit systems.
your computer has more ram than 32 bit Windows can address.
Why did you install 32 bit Windows?

Sort of looks like hardware issues to me. Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
Did you try just mplayer dvd:// ? That's quite a long options list you've got there.
What kind of drive is it?

Another T60 help thread

Ok, so I have quite a few issues.
I have:
-T60 200749U - Windows 7- 2GB - Dual HDD
-Advanced Dock 2503 - ATI Radeon HD 5450
Now lets tend to the most annoying issue I have.
Ever since I got this thing the headphone jack has not worked properly.
It didn't work when I ran XP, it worked when I ran Vista but only when the switch in the lower left was to the left., now on 7 Ethernet and Headphone ports don't work.
Anyhelp with this would make me a happy guy.
The next thing has to do with my Dock situation.
I got my Advanced dock and installed a ATI graphics card with it.
Now I installed the driver for the card and Catalyst control center changed the settings in BIOS.
All is working fine, I have aero and great picture when plugged into the dock.
Now my issue is that when I am not on the dock I am stuck with Windows basic (which I hate) because I don't have the drivers for the X1300.
Before I installed catalyst and the drivers for the dock's card I had aero running just fine.
I found and tried installing the legacy drivers for the X1300 but that has an old version of Catalyst that doesn't support my Dock's card.
VGA out on the laptop itself no longer works either.
I have a desktop gadget that recognizes the GPU but windows doesn't
I have tried everything I can think of and after 5 system restores and a ton of searching I have had no luck.
Please help.
I had another question but forgot it.
Anyhelp is appreciated and thanks to you all in advance.

Another BORIS MISSING thread.

Hi,
I've been looking at several BORIS MISSING threads trying to find a solution, and have not found a good one yet. Here is my problem:
Originally purchased FCP studio 5.0 in 2005. Noticed Boris was missing (never needed it) about a year ago and never figured out how to get it back (didn't try very hard). Upgraded to 5.1.4 about two weeks ago, and it's still missing. Trashing preferences doesn't help.
The specifics:
Boris does not show up under generators in effects tab or in viewer generators popup.
BorisFX folder is in Application Support as it should be, and all necessary files (as mentioned in other threads) seem to be in place. What's more, if I create another account, BORIS WORKS. But I don't want to login to another account every time I want to use Boris.
Something I've noticed: I seem to recall that Boris file icons in Application Support>BorisFX were some sort of "Kind: After Effects" Icons prior to my 5.1.4 install (also prior to my recent purchase of Photoshop). Now they are either "Kind: Unix Executable File" or (under BorisFX>Gradient Styles) "Kind: Adobe Photoshop Gradient File". Would this have anything to do with my problem? Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks,
Matt

1. Open your system Plugins folder (not your own FCP User Data folder):
Macintosh Hard Drive/Library/Applications Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
2. Copy these folders to the desktop:
Text Scrambler.bundle
Title 3D.bundle
Title Crawl.bundle
Vector Shape.bundle
3. Change the extensions on all four desktop files from bundle to .plugin
This requires password authentication. They will become blank icons.
4. Delete the original .bundle folders from the Plugins folder
7. Move the desktop .plugin files to the Plugins folder
8. Launch FCP and they should now show up under the "Boris"
generators category

Another 7900GT artifact thread

I bought the NX7900GT-VT2D256E-HD last August and was extremely pleased with it.
In the last month, however, I've started to have severe artifacts with textures stretching from horizon to horizon.
I checked temperatures and the GPU was running at 70-75 under load with the fans running at 100%. I installed an 80MM fan above the video card which reduced the temperatures to ~60-65 under load, but the artifacts remained.
As suggested in the other thread, I downloaded ATI Tool and ran it. I discovered some extremely odd behavior.
Sometimes it would show no problems at all.
Othertimes, it would show no pixel errors, but the text characters were horribly warped (were white lines connecting the letters to the top left corner of the screen)
Sometimes the text characters were fine, but I had dozens of yellow pixels flashing on the screen even if no errors were reported.
Othertimes it would show 'delta of #### in ## pixels (140 avg). No errors for ### sec.
Other times it would do all above at the same time resulting in this:

I think it is safe to say we have a problem!
Is there anything else I can try to do or should I start the RMA process?
My system specs are:
Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi
Antec Truepower 550W
DuoCore [email protected]
MSI NX7900GT-VT2D256E-HD at Stock 500/765
2G Corsair PC6400 RAM in dual channel
2 250G Seagate SATA drives

"My CPU is overclocked (E6400 running at 3.2G 8X400FSB), but I've always run the video card at stock 500/765."
remove any OC & re-test. too high system memory freq or too tight mem.timings can cause graphics corruption & glitches too.
"I'm not sure what you mean by 'no core center in background'"
MSI Dual Core Center application, make sure its not running.
I'd never heard of the Dual Core Center application until now, so I'm not running that.
I removed the CPU overclock (now at 2.13) and let the memory default to 533 instead of 800 (even though the memory is PC6400 and specced for 800) and retested and have the same results.
After 4 minutes it shows 'Delta of ~44000 in ~335 pixels (~130 avg)
I didn't change the memory timings, but I will check them. From what I recall they are set to the default 4-4-4-12 that the chips are specced for.
