  • Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks? I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.

    Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks?
    I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks into it and "dual-boot" to determine which flavor of OS X you are running.  DO NOT install Mavericks over your Snow Leopard environment as Mavericks will destroy it!
    You can then experiment using Mavericks all you want with the ability to boot back into Snow Leopard as needed.

    Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)!  Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.

  • IMovie 10 on an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB?

    Will iMovie 10 ever be installable on an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB?

    They updated iMovie to 10.0.1 so it will work with these Mavericks machines:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6023
    "Installing iMovie (2013) previously required a computer with an OpenCL-capable video card. This requirement was removed, and you can install iMovie version 10.0.1 on any Mac with OS X Mavericks."

  • I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine, can I change the Vieodcard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible?

    I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
    You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
    I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
    Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
    What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

  • IMovie 10.0 Oct 22, 2013 won't install on my Mac Pro 2008 with OS X 10.9.  Software Updater says "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".  I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB.  What card SHOULD I have?

    After installing Mavericks on my 2008 Mac Pro (10GBRAM, several HDs, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) Software updater says there is an update available. iMovie  Apple   Version 10.0   Released Oct 22, 2013. 
    So I click the UPDATE button
    Software Updater puts up a dialog that says "Your computer’s video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".
    I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB.  What card SHOULD I have?
    Thanks.

    It is a easy fix to this problem.
    I have this video card
    iMac 24 inch, early 2008.

  • After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMAc it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remeber to open with MY choice rather than Ap

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • "iMac 27" with quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor"

    I'm about to order a new iMac 27" quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor.
    I'm a long time PC gamer but decided i want to make the full switch to Mac and I have a few questions about the graphics capabilities of this computer.
    I game in a clan that plays Battlefield 2 Project Reality.
    Will this card handle this game at the high settings and native resolution of the monitor? I also play COD4 and have the same question for that game.
    Thanks for your input. I'm sure this will be helpful for all of us and I will share it with my clan of over 100 people strong.

    Yeah it plays crysis fine, here is a video of me playing it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dMUFr57ens
    My specs are: Core i7, 8gb of ram and ATI 4850.

  • Will imac 2008 model monitor work with the imac pro

    Will my imac 2008 model work as the monitor for the imac tower.

    There is no iMac tower.  Your other iMac cannot be used as a monitor.  This is a feature that wasn't introduced until the more recent iMac models.

  • 2007-2008 24" imac video board connected to motherboard?

    My brother has a 5 year old imac taking up space in his garage, does the motherboard need to be replaced if the video card is fried?
    How much would this cost?
    Think he played too much WoW....
    Thank you for any help.

    wow is not a very demanding game so that would not be related
    but apple make all their own pcb's in the imac not std video cards works
    likely you can't even get the pcb for the video card any more

  • IMac and video card ATI Radeon HD 4850

    Using my iMac 24"/3.06/SD with OSX 10.6 and trying to access Final Cut Express, it tells me I need an AGP video card! Why isn't the ATI Radeon HD 4850 able to display FCE? It operates all my other Apple software. Please, has anyone an idea about this?

    Moving this discussion to the Hardware forum.
    Someguyinnw what specific Adobe applications are you planning to run?  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Creative Cloud.

  • Bad video card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 2008 early macpro?

    I get the green squiggles on the screen when i connect the right hand side dvi port to a monitor. left side is fine. currently only using one dvi port port, but i am looking to upgrade to a apple 30" with the dual-dvi connection for maximum resolution.
    does this indicate a possible failure of the video card?
    I've only heard good things about this video card, how can i tell for certain?
    might'n it be time to put in a newer video card that'd run the 27" Apple LED if that were the case?

    After 4 years, my 2008 Mac Pro just experienced a grey screen, then black screen failure with the ATI 2600XT graphics card ... the usual troubleshooting methods pointed to a hardware problem.
    Using the info on TS3630 from the link above, I determined the card's serial number was among those affected. I went to the Apple store this weekend, and they swapped the bad card for a good replacement at no cost to me. So, as of Sept. 2012, they are still honoring the replacement program.
    Be sure to bring a copy of the tech doc + all your pertinent system info (the store was not aware of the program until I showed them the document). Also, do check in advance whether they have the replacement in stock ... I was lucky that my local store did, otherwise, they have to order and you'll need top make a return trip as they will not ship the replacement card to you.
    kudos to Apple for handling this so well after all this time!

  • Audio playback issues; Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Intel Core Duo 2007/2008 model

    Hiya,
         I cannot fully remember when this issue started but recently it has made listening to music, watching videos impossible. Whenever i play audio via iTunes, QuickTime, YouTube, Streaming via Chrome/Safari after about 5-10 seconds the sound will start to stall and then the machine will also stall and often become unresponsive untill i hit pause/stop or the mute button on the keyboard. I do not have this issue when using Ableton Live 8 or Logic Pro 9 as the sound and performance is what you would expect from an apple product; perfect.
    I have had my logic board "replaced" twice via apple due to the NAVIDA issue on my model of macbook pro and they did mention that since they replaced it my macbook had developed a "software issue" which they aknowledged to be thier fault.
    I have booked into see the genuis bar this saturday but was wondering if anyone has had these issues?

    Gordon,
    A couple of things this is an iMac forum, there is a MacBook Pro forum I'd recommend you repost to. Also I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine to protect your security. Next time you copy and paste just remove the serial number it isn't needed.
    Best of luck.

  • Anybody here successfully connect PlayStation 3 to iMac wirelessly?

    I have internet sharing turned on. I have my wireless network set up using the iMac's built-in Airport Extreme Card. My PS3 can find my wireless network and it can obtain the IP address but it can not communicate with the server due to a DNS error.
    Sony and Apple support could not help me. You all are my only hope. I know it can be done. I just need to find someone who has done it and is able to explain it to me.
    Thanks for any help.

    These are the instructions from the Help menu in the Finder. It is easy to look up subjects if your change the view in the Help Viewer to Index.
    Sharing your Internet connection
    If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can share its connection with other computers on your local network.
    For example, if your computer is connected to the Internet using a DSL modem and has an AirPort Card installed, you can share the DSL connection with other AirPort-equipped computers.
    On Windows computers, sharing your Internet connection is sometimes referred to as a "network bridge," or 'bridging your network."
    1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
    2. Choose a network port from the "Share your connection from" pop-up menu.
    3. Select "Built-in Ethernet" or AirPort depending on which computers will share your Internet connection.
    4. If you have turned on the firewall on the Firewall pane of Sharing preferences, you also need to turn on Personal Web Sharing on the Services pane of Sharing preferences in order to share your Internet connection and allow computers connected to your Internet connection to browse the web.
    IMPORTANT: If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in Ethernet, for example), investigate possible side effects before you turn on Internet sharing. In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting their network.

  • How do you remove the back of an early 2008 model iMac
