What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

ATI Driver Problem - Encore CS5

Hi All,
I have spent a number of hours now trying to troubleshoot an issue with Encore CS5. I have it installed on a HP 6930p Notebook computer with a ATI HD3400 onboard video card. Whenever Encore starts, my screens go black and I get an error "display driver stopped responding and has recovered". I have the latest (22nd October 2010) drivers installed and I have tried changing nearly every setting for the display card, but to no avail. It is obviously the driver, because if I change the driver back to the standard Microsoft driver, the software works, but with limited resolution and without the ability to extend screens. If I also revert to the oldest version of the ATI driver, it doesn't black out, just crashes with a "application has stopped working" error.
Now I could just keep changing drivers when I use Encore, but this is a bit extreme and you would think it would work. All my other CS5 software works ok... PPro, AE, Photoshop, InDesign etc.
Operating System is Windows 7 Enterprise 64Bit with 4GB Memory.
Anyone got any suggestions or advice? Or is anyone else having a similar issue and managed to solve the problem?
I could always install my older version of Encore CS4, but does installing Encore CS4 after CS5 has been installed cause any issues or problems? Is this the easiest answer?
Regards, John.

You have to do what you have to do, but I would be reluctant to settle for EN CS4 with a CS5 suite - dynamic link is further improved, and you'll be giving that up or complicating it.
(Yes, there are some users with problems, particularly doing Bluray, and they refer to using CS4 at times to fix things. I like dual installations.)
No real idea on the video card issues. I do think it is interesting that it is only Encore.

Overheating the laptop - Ati driver problem (SOLVED)

Hi ppl.
I have Acer Aspire 5732 Z laptop. Intel Pentium processor T4400 2.2 GHz. Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512 MB VRAM, 15.6", 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD.
I successfully solved all the problems during the installation, but this one I can not handle. The laptop is HEATING too much. I also have Ubuntu 9.10 on the other partition and its all fine. Its working on the temperature of ~46 C. And my Arch is working on the temperature of ~60 C. So its about 15 C difference between Ubuntu and Arch. Way too much.
Arch is running in KDE mode. Have to add that I installed all KDE packages. Maybe the cause of this problem ?
I am using the proprietary Ati Radeon driver. I tried to change it with open source Ati driver but Xorg refused to configure again (gave me a blank screen).
I checked Wiki on laptop, but didnt succeded to solve this problem. Here s my rc.conf:
MODULES=( acpi-cpufreq )
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !acpid !acpi-support powernowd wicd !network !netfs alsa crond laptop-mode kdm)
powernowd configuration:
OPTIONS="-q -u 30 -l 10"
acpi-support is blacklisted because I installed it from AUR and didnt managed it to work. Its just saying "no permission" during the boot. I actually installed it because I read that its Ubuntus Acpi management. ~ I repeat Acpi is working fine on my Ubuntu.
I can also show my laptop-mode configuration files - if needed.
I am a newbie for Arch but I rlly done my best on this issue as I want to use this system. I think its great and highly configurable and I just love the fact its a rolling distro. But I cant use it overheating.
So, please help.

I am using lmsensors on Arch and some kind of panel sensor on Mint, but its ok for sure. Few minutes ago I checked temperature on Arch and it was 56 C. Then I rebooted and when I logged into Mint it was 56 C. But few mins later temperature normalized to 45 C in Mint. After lsmod I logged into Arch again and temperature raised to 54 C.
So its Arch problem for sure.
@hokasch
I am not sure about noise level of fans. Sounds similar to me. But maybe its a fan problem. I know its sometimes loud and sometimes silent. Probably depends on the system temperature. Maybe Arch cant control it normaly. Is there any kind of software that is used for fan speed ?

Kernel 2.6.14.4 - ATI Driver - Problem

hello,
i have a problem with the ati driver 8.20.8.
i have installed it from the community tree.
pacman -S ati-drivers
it installed a kernel *ck and the ati driver.
after that i do a
fglrxconfig
my xorg.conf ist correct. fglrx is enterd at driver and the dri section is availabil.
3D isnt availabil, look at this screenshot.
you can see that the mesa driver is loaded.
whats wrong ?
thanks for you help!

Hi, I have the same problem. I uninstalled mesa and I still get this line
OpenGL renderer string: MESA GLX indirect (which I obviously shouldn't).
Moreover the X log file is trying to convince me that I have direct rendering:
bash-3.00# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Direct
(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled
whereas running
bash-3.00# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
claims the opposite :shock:
10x in advance
(btw. kernel 2.6.14archck4-1, xorg 11R6.8.2)
EDIT: After a reboot even glxinfo thinks that DRI is enabled, which is obviously not the case (foobillard is running real slooooooow) ... strange things are going on...

Problems linking with log4cpp..

Hi all,
working on a T200 with solaris 10 and sunstudio 11,
I have a program that I have to compile with -library=stlport4 since it's being ported from gcc where it was using <hash_map>.
I succeeded building log4cpp-0.3.5-rc3 with SUN compiler both with standard STL and with stlport, but now it seems I cannot use neither one of these two version of liblog4cpp.so with my program, because when it comes to linking in sunstudio, it fails with a lot of messages like
undefined symbol first referenced in file
std::ostream &std::operator<<(...) liblog4cpp.so
std::ios::operator void *() const liblog4cpp.so
The test application included in the log4cpp source distribution has been built and runs with no problems...
So I have no clue of what this could be, it seems like liblog4cpp.so itself is missing some external library when it comes to linking with my app...
If I remove -library=stlport4 everything is ok, but then I cannot use hash_map in my program....
Any idea? Am I missing something particularly stupid?...
Thanks in advance.
Andrea.

Yes,
I've checked that liblog4cpp.so has been built with -library=stlport4 both on the compile and on the linker command line.

In any case, even if I have to give up, I'd really like at least to understand what's really going on under the hood and why does liblog4cpp_stlport cause all of this...

AMD/ATI driver problems on a Dell laptop with attached dual monitors

I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop with a docking station for two additional monitors. I'm shooting for a "big desktop" setup, with my laptop display and the two external monitors forming one large multi-monitor X screen.
When deciding which video driver I'd need, I did the usual:
$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus XT [Radeon HD 8800M Series]
Which is weird, because the M4800 isn't shipped with 8800M cards. Rather, it's shipped with the AMD FirePro M5100 Mobility Pro (see above link) (also, too many "Pros", AMD...).
I tried the open-source driver, but I couldn't get both my external monitors working in tandem, so I went with catalyst-test, since the non-beta version of the proprietary driver doesn't support the 3.13 kernel (or my alleged 8800M series card, for what it's worth).
My display setup using catalyst-test is still far from ideal. My dual (horizontally adjacent) monitors reset to cloned/mirrored desktops after every reboot, and my machine refuses to show three monitors (dual monitors + laptop display), even with the 2GB of dedicated RAM in my graphics card (see above M4800 link). There's other miscellaneous annoyances as well.
Using hardinfo, I see that my VGA driver thinks it only has 256MB of RAM... which doesn't align with the M4800 specs. Is there a way to change this value?
Just today, I found the catalyst-firepro driver, which I think might be the correct driver for my laptop, at least given the specs on the M4800 from the website.
There's also the option of not using my AMD card at all, and just using the Intel graphics on my laptop. (I had to disable hybrid graphics in my BIOS to get any AMD-specific drivers to work). I'd like to steer away from this, due to the performance loss, but I'd be willing to make the change if the pros outweighed the cons.
As I see it, I have a few options:
AMD/ATI open source driver: Can't seem to get two monitors working, much less three...
catalyst-test: Any two monitors will work together, but not three. Other annoyances.
catalyst-firepro: Have not tested yet.
Intel open-source driver with AMD card disabled: Have not tested yet.
Can anyone who has had similar issues and/or hardware offer a best course of action which has worked for them? I know we're supposed to avoid "opinion" questions, but I think this is grounded enough in the scientific method to merit some helpful responses.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

The last option to me is screaming catalyst-pxp at me, because that's one of the few options if you have integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card.
Let me get this straight: Can you disable the either or both of the Intel/AMD graphics in the BIOS settings? If so, but don't want to disable either, you might want to look at the hybrid graphics section of the wiki.
I know about powerXpress and I think I'd like to avoid it. My experience with hybrid graphics on other Linux distributions is that it's rather unstable or just plain unsupported. If someone can convince me otherwise, given their experience with hybrid graphics on Arch/Linux, I might reconsider.
I'm fairly certain I can enable either of my GPU's separately, but I'll have to check for sure next I reboot my PC.
The last option I mentioned because I thought the Intel drivers might be more robust than the AMD drivers, which have don't have a sterling reputation when it comes to supporting Linux (compared to nVidia anyways, who I know in the past have had good Linux support).

Radeon Mobility HD 4650 / xf86-video-ati driver problem

Hi everyone,
I am under Archlinux with my laptop (Asus N81vp) since a year, and i've got this problem since the begining. With the radeon driver installed, my X work well but the fan of my card is screaming and my laptop anormaly hot. I do not have this problem under Windows or with the catalyst driver (witch is working). I really want to use the radeon, more maintained (and free ^^).
I cannot have the temperature and the state of the fan, my ic2 chips aren't recognized by lm-sensors...
I really don't know where the problem is : if anyone have a Radeon mobility HD 4650, i would like to know if they have the same problem or a solution. Maybe it's a bug of the driver, or a configuration problem...
Anyway, if anyone have a solution, i googlize it for hours, and this problem outclass my knowledge...
Here's a bit of my hardware and configs files. I you want more, tell me
Thanx in advance (and i'm sorry if my english sucks, i'm from France ...)

As far as I know, the open source driver simply churns through quite a bit more power than catalyst when idling. The higher core temperature is the unfortunate direct result of this.
I'm using xf86-video-ati 6.14.2-1 too, but with a Radeon Mobility HD4570 (which is detected by lm-sensors, by the way). With the default driver settings (highest power state), I see core temperatures as high as 88 degrees C when doing nothing. I've added
echo mid > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
to /etc/rc.local as a workaround for the issue. This basically forces a lower power mode than default at boot. Currently, my GPU idles at 64 degrees C, which is sort of acceptable in my opinion. The obvious side effect of this workaround is that your graphics performance goes down, which I'd even notice in Gnome 3's transitions (not being as smooth as before).

ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
Now the problem has begun...
I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I still have to find a verification for this, but:
Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
Sorry
Stefan

Problem link with blog french iWeb

Have some problem with the "blog french" version iWeb8. Have a 1-Name 2-Entrées 3-Archive

I am having the same problem-- and viewing with Safari as the browser has had no effect. Any thoughts on solutions?
I've been a Mac proponent for two years now, though recent problems are causing me to re-evaluate. Aside from this snafu, the most recent Quicktime update neutered all sound on my .avi files as well. When can we expect updates/solutions to these problems?

DVD/CD Drive Problem: Works with DVDs, but won't Read CDs

As the title states, my laptop's CD drive will not read CDs (it is a satellite A205 by the way). The yellow light lights up, it makes noises as if it is trying to read the CD, but just doesn't do it. It won't show up as a CD being there when I look it up on "computer". On the other hand, when I put a DVD in, it works no problem. Anyone have any idea of what I could do? I've tried uninstalling the driver on device manager and restarting the computer, thus allowing it to reinstall it, and it didn't help. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Try cleaning out the drive with compressed air and/or a lens cleaning disk. This often times helps.
Next try booting to a Linux Live CD or some other Self Booting CD like Memtest. If it doesn't then you know for sure that the drive itself is defective as you are taking Windows out of the equation. If it does, then you know it's a Windows problem which will more than likely require restoring the system to it's factory out of box state using the Recovery DIsks to fix.
If the drive works with a Live CD then try going into device manager, uninstall the DVD drive, then reboot the system to have Windows automatically re-install it. This sometimes helps as well.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

ATI Driver Problems Version 8.533.3.1-081110a-075168C-Lenovo

I hope I'm pasting this in the correct location.
The lastet version of the ATI drivers for my ThinkPad (T60) have a problem. The Catalyst Control Panel will simply open and close really fast. It will not run. Is there anyway to diagnose and fix this issue?
At this time I am forced to use NGO's Optimized drivers, but I'd rather use Lenovo's drivers.
Thank you.

Nvidia Geforce 650m driver problem for windows 8.1 on macbook pro

Hey guys. I installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro (mid2012, Intel core i7, retina, Geforce 650m) of course only for game, but I have a disappointing problem with the graphics driver. First I tried to instal graphics card driver by bootcamp (not the last version, the one before the last) .It started to install drivers one by one starting with graphics card, but suddenly the screen got black and remained black forever! I restarted the windows and guess what! after windows logo it got black and nothing more! Then I installed windows again and tried to install driver from windows update. It checked for update and found the driver for it and downloaded it and started to install, but again the black screen !!! Please help me thanks.

no this does not work. bootcamp drivers are broken for windows 8.1 on an efi install. apple is withholding the discreet gpu drivers from microsoft to trick people into thinking osx is more stable/efficient and thus windows cannot detect which gpu it is supposed to use when it can see both. the discreet gpu is hidden in the fake bios setup that bootcamp wants you to install with. the problem with doing this is that the more powerful gpu is all you can use in windows so the computer runs more hot and is louder which is annoying and hard on the battery life.
thanks apple, if i knew that when i bought the laptop i would have gone with something else.
This is not correct. If you force an EFI installation on a preUEFI Mac, you will see GPU and Audio errors. A non-EFI Hybrid MBR installation works correctly. Does Windows have the ability to switch GPUs? OS X, using external monitors, uses the non-Intel discreet GPU and the machine does not run hot. If Windows can provide dual-GPU support (which they have) and also provide GPU-switching (missing), this can be done. Can it be done for older hardware, highly unlikely. MacRumors has threads with PCI Register changes to expose the Intel GPU and the machine still runs hotter.
