Any issues with NEC ND-3500AG on a Mac Pro?

Back when I first purchased my Mac Pro, one of the first things I did was pop in one of my older drives into the second bay. The drive is a NEC ND-3500AG, now immediately after when running 10.4.7 I had a lot of problems with frequent crashes, kernel panics and such.
Now after the 10.4.8 update, I decided to see if hooking it back up would function properly. So far no problems. Has anyone else had any of the same experiences?
Are there some incompatiblities that aren't public knowledge about this or not?
I'll update this post if I run into some problems.

Errrmmm, sorry about the misunderstanding. I guess I should of specified better.
The NEC ND-3500AG is an optical drive. Its quite common and cheap nowadays. LaCie rebranded their external version the Lacie d2. It offers DVD/CD/DVD-R/DVDR/DVD-RW/DVDRW/DVD DL/CD-R/CD-RW capabilities.
I stuck it in the optical bay so that I wouldn't have to spend an extra $100 (for a $30 drive) on the Mac Pro when I bought it.

  • Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB 5900RPM 128MB Cache SATA3 - for Backup Data Only. Are there any compatibility issues with an older  3,1 Apple Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8GHz (4-Core x 2) ?

    Finally mass storage drives are being released. The Seagate ST8000AS0002 8.0 TB 5900RPM has just been released in Australia and I was advised to check on any compatibility issues, being that my 3,1 Mac Pro is an old, but working fine machine.
    I have read there are possible issues with using HDs greater than 2TB with the MP 3,1 . But checking with OWC, they say the Seagate 4.0 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive is compatible for use with the MP 3,1.
    So can the hardware and operating system handle an 8.0 TB of this sort ?

    The problem is with formatting the large disk. The Mac can see and use them if formatted for a Mac
    Format large disks
    That bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been fixed.
    using a Disk Utility from any older Mac OS X, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any saved Installer DVD or thumb drive will work.
    Another work-around is to move that drive to an external enclosure and Erase it there (provided your enclosure is modern enough to deal with drives over 2.2TB.

  • Any issues with adding this card to my mac?

    I would like to add a card to my mac pro that will enable me to capture video from certain types of HD video cameras.
    1. Do I have a slot available to put in one of these cards?
    2. Are there any potential issues with doing this?
    3. I am guessing that by adding the card, it will create an open port on the back of the mac that will allow me to connect the camera.
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
    I have the Dual-Core Intel XeonProcessor Speed: 3 GHz.
    Thanks!!!!

    The Intensity HDMI card is normally used to capture UNCOMPRESSED video from an HD vidcam.
    Lets say, for example you get a Canon HV20 camera - it has both firewire and HDMI outs. The camera, being HDV, uses HDV compression to write to tape. So once video is on tape, you will be capturing HDV encoded video (just fine with FCP). The HDV standards dictate 1420x1080 even though the sensor of the HV20 is a native 1920x1080. But, since non-square pixels are used, consider it 1920x1080 aspect.
    If you hook the HV20 to your Mac Pro using HDMI and the Intensity card, you can capture uncompressed, native 1920x1080 video. However, you better have enormous and extremely fast Raid storage, as it requires sustained data rates roughly, what, 100 times greater than HDV? And you better have a really long extension cord if you plan to use it in the field, as, you must remember, once written to tape it will be compressed HDV video, so the small gain you'll get from native uncompressed 1920x1080 video is only available at the time you shoot, and only out of the HDMI port.
    HDV looks stunning as is, so unless you are a professional with special requirements (in which case I've not told you anything you don't already know), you may want to rethink this.
    If you shoot well exposed HDV video, and edit with FCP or iMovie HD for that matter, and play back from tape to a 1920x1080i HDTV, it is as good as watching the Discovery Channel HD.
    Good luck,

  • Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

    Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX.  The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change.  Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX?  We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
    Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it. 
    Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections?  I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button.  I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
    Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
    Thanks.

    I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed.  I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
    Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server?  Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
    Thanks.

  • I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
    Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

    I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
    1.
    " ...you’d better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data you’ll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
    2.
    "If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
    3.
    I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
    If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
    4.
    "Consider carefully the ODS’ key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you don’t need."
    I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
    Thanks in advance

    Hallo
    I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
    1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
    2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
    Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
    3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
    4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
    for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
    if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
    I hope eveyrhting is clear
    Regards
    Mike

  • Any issues with latest 2014 ios update & Straight Talk

    Hi, I've been with straight talk for about 2 weeks without any problem - switching --porting--pics.....all went well . Now my phone ( iPhone 3c) shows iOS update waiting..
    Due to all I have read here & there,I'm a bit uneasy to do the update. Has anyone had any issues with lates t2014 ios update using ST? Will it affect the working of the phone if I don't do update? Thanks for any input.

    Hi, Glad  that worked for you. I don't know why this is happening other than to offer an opinion. This hardware acceleration was causing an issue with the previous version of FP also. I think that this technology is ready but the websites are not, youtube included.
    The same thing happened with Flash Player for the mobile phones, Android in particular. Adobe was ready but had to wait on Google to catch up. So the users thot Adobe was at fault, but that wasn't the case. Google had to update and that was done with their 2.2 update. This is not an opinion however. I followed this because users were coming here asking why Flash Player wasn't available for their Android:-)
    Adobe/Microsoft/Mac/Linux are all involved and if one advances a particular technology that effects the others, then each one must make a change for that technology to work. At least that's how I see it.
    Thanks for marking your thread as answered
