Can i use a g3 imac for extra processing power

hello, can i use an imca g3 graphite to supplement by g5 1.6 model. if so, how? i am using logic and am running into serious processing problems....is there anything i can do to make sure i am using the processing power of the g5 to the max?

First and foremost, make sure that Logic (and the 3rd party stuff) are the only thngs running on your desktop (ie, no Dashboard apps in the background, no iTunes, no iPhoto, etc, etc).
Second, when you do use a 3rd party plug in, make it sound as close to accurate as you want, then bounce that track and reimport it as a plain audio track (much less processing power need to play the audio track than to apply effects in real time). You can always go back and fine tune later.
Third, Sculpture and Sound Designer are HUGE CPU hogs. Use them sparingly or in the case of Sculpture, bounce the track or freeze it.
Those will release a lot of processor cycles and move you on your way to better performance from your machine.
Good Luck!

  • Can I use a SD card for extra storage?

    I want to add storage for my macbook pro retina because I'm running out of space. Can I use a SD card that I will leave in the macbook?
    This looks like just what I need. The ad says I won't even know its there.

    Don't do that. The SD card reader inside is not meant for that, and it will not work.
    Buy an external disk of good quality, USB3, format it correctly < Mac OS Extended (journaled) >, do not install any software that came with it, and start using it.

  • HT3924 Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

    Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

    To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for.  I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box.  You can look at the models here:

  • How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

  • Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

    Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

    In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

    Office for Mac comes with a single or (for extra cost) a 3 license pack. Unless your sister has multiple user licenses you may not use her code.

  • Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8

    Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

    This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
    Now another question.  I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones.  Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account?  Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time?  or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

  • HT4436 My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

  • Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

    Hi experts,
                I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
    data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
          IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
          wa_quote type ZIQMD,
          wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
      COMMIT WORK.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
        COMMIT WORK.
    when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'  , but iam not getting data  for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'  interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
                  Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Poorna.

    Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
    One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
    1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • Can I use one gift card for two apple ID at the same time?

    Can I activate one gift card for two different apple ID and use amount from gift card like bank account?

    No, an iTunes gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, and it can be used to buy content for that account (you can't, for example, redeem it on an account and then use some of it for gifting content to another account).
