Can someone explain why ati radeon mac 9700 pro: not working in MDD?

Hi,
I might have posted a long thread about the 9700 mac pro video card that I just got, however why for some reason its working in the Digital Audio machine I have and not in my MDD machine? When I connect it to the AGP 4X slot and turn on the computer, I get nothing but a black/cold screen.
And yes, I have the molex connected to the power supply? I am trying to figure out where I am going wrong with connecting this video card up to my MDD mac. Works in the DA machine, but not in the MDD.
It required me to tape pins 3 and 11 and I bought it off of ebay. I might appear to be a pc card, though the PCB is red in color.

Oh this helps!
What is so different that the card won't work in my computer? Remember, though the seller told me through his ad on ebay that it is a MAC card, I highly doubt that it was a real mac card to begin with, but rather a PC card because in the end he told me to tape pins 3 and 11 - but his ad did not mention this.
I have also done an in depth analysis of my entire system using techtool pro and the AHTCD - Both have determined that there is nothing wrong with my system at all.
So, what is the conclusion as to why it worked in my Digital Audio machine and not the MDD? Can an MDD refuse a PC video card flashed w/mac firmware? Is it some sort of smart slot?

  • Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags?

    Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags? One is the new Group tag (with its own two-person icon) and the other tag is the original People tag (one perswon silhouette icon) from previous version. If person already had been tagged the new People Group will not work. Anyone else having a problem or has found a solution?

    I would have no problem with using the new People tabs except for two things:
    1) There are pictures of people that facial recognition cannot handle. An example would be a profile view. These have already been tagged with old people tags. The new People Tab is dependent on facial recognition and will not accept these.
    I don't use facial recognition at all, sorry.
    2) The mystery is that the conversion from old to new was not automatic during the upgrade. Hours on telephone with Adobe tech did not resolve how one reconciled the two different tags. It appears to be more than a problem of naming the tags.
    As I explained, there was no conversion at all with my own categories, and I was too happy for that. From a number of other posts on that subject, I don't think that reconciling the two different kinds of tags is possible. I think I'll try a new conversion from an old PSE6 catalog so that I can play with the new scheme; that should work even without face tagging.

  • Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a...

    Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a WRT54G would change from a steady green to steady orange after firmware upgrade?  Everything is connecting properly, and I see no change in performance of network other than light change described.   Thanks. 

    The way I understand the Secure Easy Setup button is this.
    It will be orange when the router is in normal operation mode. The light turns green when you press the Cisco Systems button (that is orange normally) so that the router will search for the web device you are trying to connect to the router. If you want to disable this feature all together go into your router settings page at 192.168.1.1
    Go to the Wireless tab, and then the Advanced Wireless Settings sub-heading, once in there look for the option SecureEasysetup and simply set it to disable (enabled is default) then click the save now and apply the settings. The light should be out now meaning you don't have the Secure Setup feature enabled.
    It is just a personal choice to have it on or off, it should not affect router or internet performance unless you hit the button trying to connect a device to the network.

    computer CPUs use very small wires that heat up when electricity is passed through them. Its actually one of the major limiting factors in miniaturization, making the wires too small and they melt.

    Apple usually doesn't participate here, we're just users.  Have you done a search for an app for Weather Emergency Alert in the app store?  It certainly doesn't come built-in in the iphone.

    why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.

    davenug,
    given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

  • Can someone explain this difference in Mac vs Win policy ?

    I can download a MathScript module for evaluation with the Windows evaluation version, but for the Mac, I have to first buy LabVIEW (the module is free, just can't be evaluated). Can someone explain the logic behind this nonsense ?

    NI's activation platform doesn't work on the Mac or Linux operating systems. We created a "special" evaluation version of LabVIEW for the Mac, but after the 30 days, it requires you to uninstall it and install the regular version of LabVIEW, which doesn't have activation.
    VISA is offered as a free download because it a device driver, and by practice, all of NI's device drivers are free. However, the MathScript RT Module is an add-on for LabVIEW. The reason that the Mac and Linux versions are free is because we don't have LabVIEW Real-Time for Mac or Linux, and the real-time capabilities for the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module are the primary reason for the cost of the Module in the first place. This ability to deploy custom .m files to embedded hardware, and run them deterministically, as well as the plug-in tools to do profiling and testing, is a huge differentiator for MathScript on the Windows platform. However, that functionality doesn't exist on the Mac or Linux platform.
    The reason you can't download the Module is because we need to be able to track who the users are. Each new release of LabVIEW brings a new version of the MathScript RT Module, and we physically mail the new media to all of the users who have "purchased" the free Module, just like with any purchased Module. If we simply said go download it, then each person would have to go re-download it with each release.
    "Go stuff yourself" is certainly not the intention. You will be able to use the Mac version of MathScript (free) on the evaluation version of LabVIEW for Mac. To find this version, navigate to http://www.ni.com/trylabview/ and choose to "See Download Options". The mac version is linked within this page.
    I hope you find this information both helpful and satisfactory.

  • Previous saved bookmarks.html files were almost twice the size. If I rely on this much smaller folder for saving my I may lose bookmark data. Can someone explain why my folder is now suddenly so much smaller?

    Since I upgraded to 3.6.3 my bookmarks folder has become nearly half the size upon exporting it in html format. I normally refresh my working copy of Mozilla by saving the bookmarks and then erasing all aspects of Firefox and starting over from scratch. I am concerned that if I rely upon this smaller folder I may be losing data. Can someone tell me what is happening here? It could be that this is just an improvement in Firefox but I do not know how to test the waters to see if all my data is saved.

    Are you comparing the size of the bookmarks.html file that is exported from Firefox 3.6.3 to a bookmarks.html file that was exported from earlier versions of Firefox?
    Really shouldn't be a difference, there hasn't been a change to Firefox regarding the bookmarks.html file in years.

  • Can someone explain why my keyboard want pop up?

    my ipad keyboard want pop up for some reason can someone explian wky?

    The iPad isn't paired to a bluetooth keyboard (Settings > Bluetooth) ? If not and you don't get the on-screen keyboard when tapping on a text entry field then try a reset and see if it shows after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can someone explain to me how this line of code works?

    My friend put in this code to my game script
    if CollisionDistance < 2 then
    else if "pMushroom" = string(collisionModel).char[8..16] then
    pInfo = member("Info") 
          pInfo.Text = "Press 'F' to consume Mushroom"
    else
    end if
    else
        pInfo = member("Info") 
        pInfo.Text = ""
      end if
    So this is used in my game so that when a ray is less than 2 units away to hits an object named pMushroom, instructions would come up that say "Press 'F' to consume Mushroom" (I'm sure you already knew that though).
    I have a bunch of mushrooms out lebed pMushroom01 - pMushroom09
    I tried to use this for other models like:
    else if "pStick" = string(collisionModel).char[8..16] then
    pInfo = member("Info") 
           pInfo.Text = "Press 'F' to take Stick"
    But the instructions do not pop up. I've checked that I was the right distance away with my collision detection.
    Could someone explain to me the code and what could possibly be wrong?
    "char[8..16]" is what I really don't get.

    collisionModel is most likely a property variable. So "else if "pStick" = string(collisionModel).char[8..16] then" is taking whatever is in that variable, and setting it as a string. Then it is parsing out the characters in that string from character 8 to character 16 and comparing that sub string to the string pStick.
    This works in the first example because "pMushroom" has 9 characters. "pStick" has six characters and so it will never be equal to those characters in collisionModel. You might try:
    else if "pStick" = string(collisionModel).char[8..13] then
    it may work.
