Computer doesn't make use of all his power...!?

I guess that my mac pro don't uses all of his computing-power. I have a quite new mac-pro, 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 2GB 800 Mhz memory. Before this, i had a G5 daul 2.5Ghz, but so far i couldn't notice the enhanced computing power.
Could it be possible that something blockade the power? I use my mac pro for musicproduction with logic. Sometimes logic crashes with an overload message. But when i see the CPU-load window, only one of the eight cpu load indication is overloaded, and the other seven are not even in use.
Does anybody know whats going on here?
regards... alex

This problem occures very likely due to the single-threaded
architecture of your Logic-Version, meaning approx that this
app's tasks/operations can only be processed by one cpu.
Many apps (especially the older) aren't optimized (or bad-coded)
for multi-core/-cpu-Workstations like our Mac Pros.
Therefore they can only utilize 1/8 of the potential raw power
they could provide.
We're all in the same boat, as we all expect and hope our favourite
apps to get more out of our machines aka "go multi-threaded".
The newest logic-Version should at least take advantage of two cores.

Logic doesen't make use of all my ram cap capacity

Why doesn't use logic 9 all of my ram memory?
For example i have the abbey road drums and that is generally knwon that it needs very much memory. But when i play it the memory load is only 1.5 GB. But i have 8 GB memory. Why it doesen't make use of all the memory?
And how is it in your set up?
Thanks for reply.. regards..

Logic uses 1.5 GB because that is all it needs. RAM allocation in Logic is dynamic. It doesn't claim 8 GB when it only needs 1.5. Just create more tracks and load more AR drums, and no doubt you'll see the amount of RAM Logic uses, increase. Provided you are running it in 64 bit mode, of course. Otherwise (in 32 bit mode) it'll start whining ("my memory is getting low!") somewhere between 2 and 3 GB.

How can I best make use of all my devices ? Mac mini, Apple TV, AirPort Extreme, airport express, ipad 2 (all purchased in 2011) and an old imac with OS X. I use my iPhones personal hotspot for all Internet.

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

New itunes using up all my power

Ever since installing the new itunes i cant import new cds as the computer is using up all its power. if i try to use another application at the same time as itunes the computer just freezes now. i've tried reinstalling and no change

I am experiencing the same issue when ever I add a Genera iTune Pinwheels and starts using up all of my system memory. I took my computer to the apple store and they found that I had a bad Ram module. I will see if the issue persist after the new ram module come in. I hope it will fix the issue if not I will have to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What software are you using to copy the DVD I wonder if it is the software we are using to get the DVD to the Mac.

How to make spatial computations use more/all CPU power?

Hi,
In an service I'm calculating spatial data (using Microsoft.SqlServer.Types) in memory. These calculations often take 4-5 minutes but they are never, ever, using more than 50% CPU. I have tried this on a single core too (Azure) and still, CPU won't go above
50%. I'd really like 100% CPU usage in these services.
What to look for in the code? I've got a lot of loops and where possible I'm using AsParallell() to take advantage of instances with multiple cores.
Why doesn't the service just claim full speed on the CPU and get the job done twice as fast?
Werner

Can you clarify what it is exactly that you're trying to do?
you say that you're using the .net libraries to perform spatial computations in memory but then you mention that you also have spatial data (i'm assuming from the index comment) in the database..
Where is the bottleneck? on the db site for when you're pulling out the spatial data or on the .net app server that's running the service?
Is the query using the spatial indexes? is trace flag 4199 on?
I found that rolling my own tesselation function greatly improved parallelism in regards to spatial queries, although this is only applicable to point in polygon type queries eg return the name/attribute of the complex polygon in which the lat/long sits

Deauthorize dead computer but Can't use Deautorize all

We have reached the 5 authorized computer limit. One of the iMac died hence I can't authorize the new replacement now
I tried Deauthorize All but only then to find out that I can use it once a year & apparently I have used it (ok - even though I didn't remember but it says it will be till next May before I can use that feature again).
Any idea what else I can do?
thanks!

Since you've used your once-per-year reset, you will have to contact iTunes Store support and ask if they'll deauthorize your systems for you. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Don't bother to call Apple tech support; they cannot help with iTunes Store issues.
Regards.

Siri doesn't understand me at all.

I don't have an accent. I will say play a song from "so and so" and she'll say "face time with John"? It doesn't make sense at all. Are there settings that maybe I need to change??

Cinnamonb3,
What do you mean by "It was not turned on."? Siri used to work perfectly for me, but I had to reset my phone to solve a battery drain problem, and now she misinterprets everything I say. (My first iPhone, too.) It looks like I need to go through the same fix you used.
Thanks for your help!

My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore when getting his own account?

My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore or does he have to start from scratch? They payment can still be from my card/account, that`s not the problem, but facetime, imessage etc. is a available on both mine and his apple products (I know you can check what email/phone number we can be reached at, but it`s just a click and he see my messages and I his). It`s the privacy problem that is the most important.

He needs to have his own account, the sooner the better.
As for content, non-protected songs can simply be copied to his own new library, and he can use them. As for protected content and apps, anything he still wants will have to be replaced.

Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows?

Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray so I cannot start audio chat. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not? I am confused.

HI,
You need to satisfy several things along the way
Account type
You need to have a Jabber or Google mail Account your self.
If you have a Google Mail Account then it needs the "Talk" option Enabled in your Google account Settings ( A Facebook with "Chat" enabled is also a valid Jabber ID to use in iChat).
Connection Method
This is about which apps can connect to which apps for Video ro Audio to work.
iChat Video when using a Jabber account is iChat to iChat Only.
iChat connects using a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Jabber based Apps if they have an A/V module connect using protocol called Jingle.
Needless to say Google do their own version of this that is written in to the web Browser Plugin that allows Video Chats (there are PC and Mac versions), and in the PC app called GoogleTalk.
However it is also not that compatible with other Jabber apps.
See Jingle here
This claims, now, that Google had a hand in writing the Protocol.
Also in the "Clients Supporting Jingle" list many more version of Google products are mentioned with extended info. (it suggests that someone at Google has been editing the page).
Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not?
The specific answer to this to be clear is NO.
We are talking about different Apps (or web Browser Plugins) using different Internet Protocols that are not compatible.
The simplest thing is to get the Web Browser Plugin (However there can be issues with the Flash Plugin)
At one time Google used Flash to do Video Chats and it would seem their Plugin is very close to this part of Flash.
See the Known Issues and the "Google Talk Plugin Disables iSight On Mac" item.
Options
Use a Web Browser yourself with the Plugin.
Use a Flash Base Site such as MeBeam (Flash has to be enabled in your Browser and the instructions are simple on the page)
Try to find a Jingle capable Mac Jabber Client (app) ( I have not found one).

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

When I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't show up at all. Not on the computer or iTunes nor does it charge when plugged into the computer. It charges just fine when it's plugged into the wall .

When I plug my phone into the computer nothing happens. The phone doesn't respond the computer doesn't show anything and ITunes doesn't show anything!

I would not worry too much about the charging aspect of the computer connection for now. I did notice that the last time I connected my iPhone to my computer the iTunes had changed and the only way I could determine that my iPhone was connected was by noticing a box at the upper right on the computer screen vs. the older graphical interface which showed the connected iPhone in a column on the left of screen. My iPhone did not turn on and did not charge. However the iPhone was connected and I could in-fact select Sync from one of the iTunes pull-down menus. Again, for quite some time I though my iPhone was not triggering the computer at all when I connected it. I use an iMac.

So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

TS2756 hy, does anyone know why my computer doesn't recognise my iphone? I can't seem to make it see the personal hot spot :( any suggestions? thanks

Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

New used computer doesn't have iPhoto so can't transfer pictures from old computer without upgrading new one. Is there a way to download an older version of iPhoto?

I can't access any of my iPhoto pictures from my old computer since the new (used) computer I got doesn't have it. The new one is a newer version but the applestore only has the iLife 11 which would need me to upgrade. I'm not against upgrading I really just want to access these photos. I used an external harddrive to store the pictures from my old computer and am assuming that the only reason they're not showing up on the new one is because it doesn't have the applicatin (makes sense).
Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
The pictures from iPhoto that are on the external harddrive will show up if i had to the application right? Will they show up on a newer version of iphoto even though they're originally from an older version?
Ahh sorry if this is confusing I'm just really frustrated at technology right now..../////

Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
I suggest you don't do that. There is no guarantee it will work right with a more recent OS.
Install the correct version of iPhoto for the version of Mac OS X you are running. (Which is what?) The folks here will tell you how to get to the Library on the external drive when you provide more info about your computer.
