B520 with Mainboard model# 7745 processor upgrade

Will a B520 with Mainboard model# 7745 and Bios Ver. DUKT34AUS accept a new i7-3770K processor upgrade?
I want to upgrade the i3 processor to i7 and need to find the best value and latest technology that will work in the model 7745 motherboard before I buy the processor.

I have a G5 Power Mac with dual 1.8 processors. I recently upgraded the software fro 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to get an iPad 2. Now my Adobe Photoshop 7 won't work any longer. All the newer Phtoshop versions only work with Intell processors. Does anyone

..know of an older Photoshop version that will work with my processors and system 10.5.8?
Thanks,
Don

I believe I had this issue with PS7 when I first upgraded from OS 9 to OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Couldn't get PS 7 to launch at all.
I ended up having to update all of my Adobe apps to the CS edition to be sure every Adobe app functioned without a hitch.
I am not sure where you'll find older versions of Adobe software, though.
You could try and contact Adobe direct to see if they have any older versions on disc left in stock or not.
Short or that I really do not know.
PS CS 4 was the last universal version that works with PPC Macs.
Pixelmator used to be available for 10.5 Leopard, but it's no longer available for PPC Macs, either.
http://www.pixelmator.com/
Could contact them to see if they have the older version still available on disc or as a download.
This is a pay app, also.
Another pay app that may work for you is Graphic Converter.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/
The other options are the ones already mentioned in the previous reply.
Other than Pixelmator, the other offerings are quite limited compared to PS.
Here's the link to Seashore.

A free open source Unix replacement for PS is The Gimp

You need to install X11 in order to use this app.
If you installed 10.5, you'll need to check your Applications folder to see if X11 was installed by default.
If not you'll need to go back to your OS X 10.5 install discs and do a custom install and just install X11 from disc.
This will just add the additional program and extensions and will not erase your installation of OS X 10.5.

If you are trying to recover photo stream photos, they are only held in iCloud for 30 days. All you would be able ro recover is photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
If you have an iOS device that still has the photo stream photos one it, you can save them to the camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

My home envirornment is an older Mini Mac running 10.5.8 with a PowerPC G4 processor ( I know, it's old). I also use an iPhone 3S, accessing my mac mail account. Do I have to upgrade my computer to a faster processor to use iCloud?

Hello,
You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

Processor Upgrade for iMac G3

Hello, I didn't see any particular posts specifically pertaining to the slot loading iMac (Graphite)..I hope someone can help me out.
I have a G3 Graphite iMac, upgraded RAM currently running Tiger. I used to use it but wiped it clean, re-installied the OS and created a separate account for my 8y/o son, so essentially there aren't many apps on there. For some reason it's running slower than it should, even with just Safari open. Is there a fix or possibly a processor upgrade for this model (I keep seeing that there isn't, but I want to be sure).
It's either that or constantly hearing my son complain of the lagtime and ask for our laptops instead...

According to Mactracker at one point there was a 700 MHz model available in Graphite & Snow. If you could find a 700 MHz G3 CRT iMac logic board on eBay it might be possible to upgrade the processor speed. You could also install a Matshita SR-8184 or SR-8186 DVD-ROM drive.
There's firmware available for both drives that allow them to be flashed to RPC1 or region free meaning they can play DVDs from any region in the world. Normally the drive is restricted to being able to only play Region 3 DVDs from the US. If you order a Matshita SR-8184CD optical drive from www.welovemacs.com call their 800 number listed on their website & be sure to ask for Jessica or Faith since some of the optical drives they sell don't have RPC1 firmware available for them.

SCSI card for a G5 or processor upgrade for a G4?

Hi all
Actually, this is a question that concerns the G5 and the G4 forum, but I decided to post it here first.
So, I have this old G4/400 PCI with an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card that I use for scanning slides with an Artix 4000t sclide scanner; this works fine, but the G4 is rather slow when it comes to using some features of the scanning software, such as removing scratches.
I've been thinking about buying a SCSI card for my G5 (Dual 1.8) for some time now, but I'm not sure what card I should go for; I'm not even sure if there are still cards for such an "old" device as the slide scanner (about 3 to 4 years old, no Ultrawide or something like that). And then there's the problem of the drivers for the card - how long will they be available, especially now that Apple is switching to Intel...?
The other possibility would be to buy a processor upgrade for the G4. I've seen some at OWC, and they seem to be less expensive than a SCSI card. The drawback of this solution is of course that I'll have to keep the G4 standing on my desk... on the other hand, I do know that the scanner will work perfectly with the G4.
The G5, on the other hand... it will be faster and easier, since I won't have to transfer the files for storage and editing, I could free some space on my desk,... but will it work? The G5 is running 10.4, I'm not sure if my current scanner driver is compatible... and what when 10.5 comes out...?
So I'm looking for a second, third, fourth... opinion:
What would you do? Get a SCSI card for the G5 or a processor upgrade for the G4? What SCSI card would you recommend?
TIA,
Tina

I've done some research on G5 and SCSI and scanners, and obviously, what I remembered was correct... making it work seems at least tricky, and maybe expensive too (if you've got to buy new scanning software and and..).
So I guess that's decided: No SCSI on the G5. Leaves the question, should I buy a processor upgrade card for the G4? Getting some dual G4 on eBay might be an option, but then, that would be another computer in my already crammed office, and I just can't throw the G4 away, it's one of the very first models...
I came by the idea of a processor upgrade because I just played around with an old Mac SE, which has an 68030 accelerator card installed, and this seems to work fine. Anyone has any experience with G3 /G4 upgrades (good or bad)?
Smokerz: Why would you not recommend an upgrade? Any bad experiences?

Powermac 7300/166 processor upgrade

Thanks to help elsewhere on this forum my 7300/166, with all its limitations of speed and 128mb memory, is back in business, and I'd like to upgrade the processor if it could be done without spending too much money. Advice, as specific as possible and suitable for a novice, would be appreciated about what to look for, bearing in mind that I'd most likely be searching on e-bay.

You'd be looking for a G3 or G4 processor upgrade card for the "PCI Mac" (7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, and 9600) series. Sonnet, PowerLogix, and NewerTech are some of the manufacturers' names that you'll come across. The processor card plugs into the slot, just as the 7300/166 card does. Some of the cards are physically shorter and have a metal strip mounted along the top edge of the card, so that the card stabilizer on the underside of the hinged plastic panel contacts the card. I'd look for a Sonnet card, but that's just my preference. You can also buy what's called a ZIF carrier card, which resembles a processor card, but has a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket for installation of a G3 or G4 "ZIF type" processor. ZIF processors are the same type used in the beige G3 series, B&W G3 series, and G4 PCI Graphics model. The carrier card provides the flexibility to install (and later change/upgrade) a ZIF processor/speed of your preference.
The one limiting factor when using a G3/G4 processor in an older PCI Mac is the 50 MHz (max) system bus speed. Some users have overclocked this a little, but stability issues can result if you push it too much. You'll definitely notice a speed/performance difference with a G3 or G4 processor, compared to a 604e/166 MHz processor. As I've written before, a G3/G4-upgraded Power Mac will never be the equal of a G3 or G4 Mac with the same processor. Even though the original purchasers paid a lot of $$ for these upgrade cards 3-5 years ago, they have depreciated quickly and often go for very little at eBay.

Equium P200-1ED and processor upgrade

Hi
I have installed an 64GB SSD and installed Windows 7 with user and program data folders on an SD card installed as USB drive through the Expresscard slot. I have also put in 4GB of RAM
It is still slow browsing the web even through wired Ethernet. So I am considering upgrading the processors as the bottle neck appears to be definitely on the processor which is an Intel Dual T2310 @1.46 GHz.
So the question is what is the next possible processor upgrade?
Thanks

On the question of processor upgrade:
I have already upgraded the BIOS and the Intel Chip set driver.
The problem is that this model is discontinued and I can't find much information on it.
I got this old Lap Top for free, I have got an 64GB SSD for 25, 64GB SD and express-card adaptor 30 and the 2X2GB RAM for 19.00. So if a new processor can make it fast enough then it will be worth another $20-$40 expense considering that I saw a used one advertised on Amazon for 245.00.
I know that it can support T3700 with L4 cache. Considering that a 2.GH can be bought for around $20.00. I though I might as well see if it can support something even faster how much that is.
How ever I get the the your point but I just don't know what is slowing this machine down.
When I change tab or reload a form it takes time before I can see the response to the keyboard input.
I have checked the page faults but I don't see anything there.
I wonder if I change to no paging, now that I have and SSD in there. So, any ideas would be welcome.
I doubt the network connection is a problem because I have fast broadband and I have tested it wired and wireless and as I said, I have a desktop running the same OS with 64BG SSD and 4GB RAM and it is a hell of a lot faster but that one has a quad Intel processor. The only other difference is that on the desktop the user folders are not moved to another drive but that is because I don't have and SD slot on the other one and surely SD is a lot faster than HHD.
So, what else could be holding it back? Feed backs would be appreciated.

Processor upgrades

i have had a single 1ghz mdd firewire 800 for about a year. i had great plans for this machine but it is basically a print server for my g4 imac in the living room. recently i purchased a 400 mhz sawtooth to replace the mdd. Is downgrading from a mdd a good idea? i plan on selling one of the powermacs. if i decide to upgrade again which is easier/cheaper to upgrade? there are a lot more processor upgrades for g4 models earlier than the mdd and i am not sure why. i purchased the mdd for around $400. i purchased the sawtooth for $10.

My LW 16/600 will work with the Wintels if hooked via parallel or via ethernet reversed pair cable (single cable with one reversed pair). But if I hook the LW to a hub or to the router the only units that can see it are the Macs. I just turn on sharing on the Mac and make a printer profile in the Windoze control panel that routes to my mac (\\xxx.xxx.x.xxx\<mac name>\<OSX printer profile>). I imagine it has something to do with the protocols back in 1995 when the HP4 was being made as a LW.
But if you say that your HP5 will show up when hooked to a hub but not a router I may try that, isolate the Wintels and the LW on the hub and then hook the hub to the router. Is that essentially what you are describing? A reversed pair cable is a two unit closed loop hub, so the same effect as I described before will apply, right? But current setting of letting OSX discover the LW and letting the Wintels use the Mac to print is no real drag, just a few watts of power for an otherwise unused computer.
My HP LJ5MP worked with the PhoneNet/EtherMac connection to its AppleTalk port back when I just used the old 10BaseT hub for my LAN and internet connection (before modern router and switches). However, the new switch technology doesn't recognize the EtherMac output, which is the AppleTalk input. I found that when I put the hub in between the EtherMac and the new switch, the switch recognized the hub, which recognized the EtherMac and everything worked on my LAN. With this setup, both my Mac and my PC notebook on my LAN could see and use the HP LJ5MP.
Alternatively, I later bought a D-Link parallel port print server for the HP LJ. It works quite well on my LAN and is a little bit faster than the AppleTalk/EtherMac/hub setup. I currently have both connections to the HP LJ 5MP hooked to my LAN. I do it for redundancy, as the two different connections function independently of each other, so if there is a problem with one, the other usually works. This is important to me as the HP LJ is my primary printer for all my computers.

Okay So i Order a new Intel core 2 Quad Q6600 I recieved it today I was excited to come home slap this processor in and enjoy 2 more cores Well i upgraded the bios cause it needed it so i got it ready i added the processor stuck it in perfectly no sliding or being rough with it.. added a fair about of compound needed and after hooking it all back up plugged it in.. Soons i hit the power button it beeped 3 times before going a solid beeeepp Screen never lit up So i hit the power button tried again nothing so i took all back apart added the other one back and it booted up fine im on it right now.. whats going on its the processor the website said it supports Im very aggravated.. I waited 7 days for this just to get disappoint ment i did alot of research before ordering everything looked good to go..

Hi,
You will need the Intel Q6600 Yorkfield and not a Kentfield model processor.
There are few applications that will take advantage of a quad core processor. The Intel duo core E8xxx would be a better choice in my opinion. I had a HP PC with the same motherboard with the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400. The Intel E8600 would be an excellent choice.

Processor upgrades for PowerMacG4

I have recently get a PowerMac G4 dual processor tower because it was the only way to operate my adc apple cinema HD display correctly. The machine is about 6 years old now and works perfectly. In order to achieve good performance in the future (i'm thinkin to switch to Leopard) I'm considering upgrading my processors, video card and slave disk space.
Does someone can tell me truth about does dual processors upgrades offered by Newertech (2x7448 PPc particulary), Gigadesgin and Sonnet? Does it worth the price (up to 700$ in some case if you want top clocked models) configuring that I want enough power to expect to: -record multitrack audio with Logic or Pro TOOL; - to use efficiently guitar rig 3 - play some new games and finally keep in my studio this quite cool looking silver tower in the standards some years more. Does it exists any risk to install those upgrades?

Pavillion dv5 1015ea processor upgrade

I can't find anywhere the type of this notebooks motherboard:
HP Pavillion Dv5 1015ea Specifications
I would like to upgrade the processor with a better dual or quad core that can run on the boards bios and voltages.
Does anyone know what kinds of prrocessor upgrade I can make to this board ?
Also my laptop has 4gb of RAM yet I am unabvle to find the correct 8GB upgrades throu the HP portols!.
thanks

There is a conflict between the Service Manual which says 4 gigs and the specs you have posted which say 8 gigs. I guess I would go with the 8 gigs; what do you have to lose? The T9900 may or may not work. You can give it a try but when the Manual only lists the T9600 the BIOS may not recognize the T9900 and there is no place to go to get that information in advance. I have given you the safe answers...4 gigs/T9600....if you want to gamble a bit go 8 gigs/T9900 but don't complain if it does not work.
HP does specify the motherboard model (it is an HP...laptops are one of a kind proprietary designs unlike desktops) and the chipset and the Service Manual specifies what hardware the system is designed to work with. I deal with all models of laptop and HP provides just as much information as any other laptop maker...Lenovo, Toshiba, whatever. Officially, laptops are not to be upgraded at all so this is a bit of a guerilla art.
