Anyone using AP2 on a 2Ghz G5 with Radeon 9600 graphics?

I had high hopes for v1.5 but it just ran too slow on my G5 to be usable. I hoped to upgrade the card to an x800 xt but after being on order through B&H for six months or so with the estimate of availability "within the next 2 weeks" for that whole time, I finally gave up and got my money back from B&H and gave up on Aperture.
I have now ordered V2, and I'm hopeful it will be - if not fast - at least usable now on my 2Ghz G5 with the 9600 card. (3GB ram)
Is there anyone using it with this configuration who could provide me with some feedback?
Much appreciated!
Forrest Smyth

I got a 2x2.5Ghz PowerMac G5, 2 GB RAM, with a 23" Apple Display, and a ATI Radeon 9600 XT..
I also found Ap1.5 to be a bit to slow, but I just stuck with it.. I have now installed the trail version of Ap2.0 and its quite noticeably faster, fast enough for me to keep this Mac for a while longer (unless it breaks)..
Im not entirely sure, but it seems that it takes a bit longer to fully load an image (Nikon D80 RAW files) then in Ap1.5.. but thats not to bad, just use quick view mode to browse around.. and then work on the images you want to work on.
As I said it all works faster, straightening can now actually be done in near real-time
and all the other sliders (even highlight & shadows) are far more responsive..
now I must say this is in an aperture library with only about 200-300 images.. I hope it will stay as fast when I get the full version and get all my 30,000 images in it.

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

  • Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?

    Hi,
    Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?  If so, is it working well and would you do it again?  Is it compatible with the Apple dual DVI cable?
    Thanks,
    Alan

    I just got a Yamakasi precision 2703.  I'm using it with a 13" macbook pro (non retina).  I got it working with a thunderbolt / minidisplayport to dual link DVI adapter from monoprice for $~70.  At first I didn't think it was going to work, plugged it in, turned on the display, nothing happened.  I unplugged, plugged the USB cable back in and the monitor came to life.  Working great so far.  I bought mine from green-sum on ebay.  The recommend not using this monitor with apple computers due to overheating issues... I don't see why that would be the case, though.  I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far no issues, and I've been happy with the monitor, no dead pixels, no bleed in the corners.
    The monitor stand on the 2703 isn't too bad, a little wobbly but not as bad as the others from what I've read.  The monitor does sit a little low, though.  I have a much sturdier stand coming from monoprice for $20+shipping, which will provide tons of adjustment, both height and rotation.
    Good luck!

  • Anyone using Cakewalk/Roland A800-pro controller with Logic?

    I'm looking to buy an extra keyboard besides my Fantom X8 to use onstage and trigger sounds from the Fantom. So it has to have a classic MIDI-out and a nice keybed. The A800-pro seems the right board to do that.
    But when at home I want to use it with Logic also. The A800-pro has the ACT system of Sonar integrated, but I don't use Sonar, I use Logic on a Macbook Pro (wich maybe will be taken onstage too).
    Is anyone using the Cakewalk A-pro series with a Mac? How does it function as a controller? Or what other board do you recommend instead? Does it funtion well with mainstage?
    Thanks in advance, Wilmar

    Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
    What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
    When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
    Any suggestions?

  • Has anyone used the new 5K retina iMac with Lightroom

    Has anyone  used Lightroom with the new 5K Imac. If so any problems ?

    Just bought one - arrives next week. From what i can tell it's should be the fastest mac for lightroom. Processor speed is most vital. Doesn't really use all the mac pro multiple cores as I understand 4 is plenty (correct me pls?) and 16Gb ram should hopefully do it. Getting a raid thunderbolt 2 drive for image storage which will daisy chain with my eizo monitor. Choose 3tb internal fusion as I understand full SSD doesn't really help too much. 2GB graphics plenty unless you're doing video maybe?.
    Only issue is I have a series of archive 3TB firewire 800 drives which are daisy chained. the questions is how will these work with an adapter but this remains to be seen....

  • Has anyone used the Panasonic BT-LH2600WP monitor with Premiere CC and AJA T-TAP?

    I'm considering investing in the Panasonic 26" BT-LH2600WP to use as a color correct monitor with my 27" imac and a aja T-tap (thunderbolt to sdi adapter).  Has anyone done this or know if there are any quality issues?
    thanks
    Phil

    Phil, I have a similar set up, but I have the 17-inch Panasonic SDI monitor. Premier works okay with the T-Tap, with some minor yet annoying bugs.
    If I monitor audio via HDMI from the T-Tap, which I prefer, then my Panasonic monitor and its matching audio are about half a second out of sync with the iMac display. (But the HDMI audio is perfectly synced with the Panasonic SDI video.) This is annoying because both the Panasonic and the iMac are directly in front of me, and it's confusing seeing the out of sync iMac image. Definitely not something to show any clients.
    If I switch my audio monitoring to "Adobe Desktop Audio," which is the feed from the iMac's headphone jack, this problem disappears. In that case, the Panasonic and the iMac display are almost perfectly matched up. However, now I'm getting lower quality audio, with added digital-to-analog processing in the signal.
    Using the T-Tap is smooth and trouble free in Final Cut Pro X, but in Premier it is a bit buggy. That said, it works mostly okay.
    While we're on the subject, can anyone suggest the best Preferences settings in Premier to use the AJA T-Tap? I may be missing something.
    Thanks!

    I am ever afraid to do something with myself maybe I'll fire the card etc...
    I don't think I have ever heard of anyone frying their card by overclocking it as long as you use common sense and don't go crazy ( I could be wrong)
    You will see visual artifacts if the card is overclocked to far and when you do just go in and knock it down a few MHZ

  • Anyone using an Ipod in a VW with their "ipod adapter"  help!!

    This is the worst interface I think I've ever seen for an IPOD and I'm wondering if anyone knows if VW has a work-around to improve their interface.
    Currently, the car stereo treats the Ipod as an external cd changer and will only play the first five playlists and then access the entire library in the 6th preset button. The Major problem is it seems to only play songs in order and will not randomly access the library-thereby totally defeating the point of an ipod to begin with.
    Additionally, they've hit the interface away in the glovebox making it impossible to access and alter...
    If anyone knows any way of improving this situation I'd love to hear it. I'm currently shocked and in awe of VW's stupidity when designing this so-called "ipod interface" Worst piece of engineering I've seen in years... (unless, I'm just using it wrong... but reading manuals etc, hasn't helped so i don't think it's me... I hope.)
    Thanks!

    forgive me if I'm jumping to conclusions... but it sounds as though you are using 2 different PCs. 1 in the UK, 1 in Canada. If this is not the case then please disregard what I'm about to say.
    In order to play music from an iPod on a computer other than the one used to put the music on, you'll need to set the iPod for manual update in iTunes preferences. This will allow access to the music on the iPod for the sake of playback.
    Secondly, the iPod can only be updated from one computer or another. You're unable to update the iPod from the music library on two different computers without one erasing the other. If you want to get rid of the music on the iPod the iPod updater can be used to restore it back to factory settings, at which point you should be able to update it on the PC in Canada just fine.
    Hope this helps,

  • Anyone using Mac Mini as a DAW with Logic?

    Hello Applers',
    I am currently using an imac as my DAW ith Logic Pro 9. I am wondering if anyone is using a mini with logic and how does it perform. The one thing that worries me is the 5400 RPM drive and I fear that the Solid State drive, even dualed would not offer enough storage space for the Long Haul as I currently have over a TB filled and an external TB drive 70% full with older files on my Imac. Just looking for opinions here and thanks!

  • Has anyone used Ethernet Gateway and LabVIEW, communicating with Ethernet/IP protocol ?

    I have a PLC system (Jokab Safety B20)  together with Ethernet Gateway (also Jokab Safety type E1).
    What I want to do is to communicate with this unit using LabVIEW Ethernet/IP.
    Read a couple of data and write a couple.
    Has anyone anything like this with LabVIEW and Ethernet/IP ?
    I'm completely new to using PLC's, but I have made a minimum PLC application, but can't get communication to work with LabVIEW (+ Ethernet/IP).

    i generally use an OPC server to talk to he PLC and then use Datasocket to talk to the OPC server tags.
    if that gaetway thing is an OPC server then you maybe abel to do data socket R/W via it.
    Otherwise the NI OPC server may support that widget and (at the rate I bill out) is a good deal in the eyes of most of my customers.

    Hi,
    I am doing a evaluation and I have installed Apache 2.0.32 (latest beta) on Windows
    2000 and am using WebLogic Server 6.1SP1. However when I tested the configuration,
    I get this error saying:

    This is how I configured the httpd.conf:

    TIA for any pointers to get it to work.
