Cover flow slow to scroll in Vista with Nvidia GeForce 8400M

I recently purchased a new laptop with vista service pack 1. One issue is the cover flow motion is really slow to scroll compared to my last computer using xp. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

I have had the same problem with my new Dell XPS notebook since I bought it in mid Feb. I have googled the problem and a lot of users are also having this problem. Cover flow mode is painfully slow and unuseable. If you find a fix, please post.

    Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

    This laptop I am on right vnow has a n nVidai GTX 765M and it works beautifully on Premiere CS6, CC and CC 2014.  You do have to add it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_cards.txt file or simp[ly delete it.  I hope you know that you have to be plugged in to the AC line to successfully what to edit with a laptop.  Also you can improve the GPU performance if you reset the memory clock on the GPU to 1500 MHz from the default 1000 MHz.  It is because nVidia.slows down the clock to conserve battery.  If you register on the site you can see my results on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) site.

  • Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    I have a Macbook Core Du0 1.83ghz running 10.6.3. Each time I watch a video on youtube or watching Flash or other multimedia animations, my fan run super fast.
    Is it the same with the new Macbook with the Nvidia Geforce graphic card?
    Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    Watching videos taxes the GPU and CPU. That's why the fan runs faster - to cool the computer. When you aren't doing much the fan slows down. This is true of all the laptops regardless of which GPU is involved.
    Since you have the first generation MB model, it runs hotter than later models that incorporated some changes to the cooling system making the fan run faster during idle. You can accomplish a similar result using the third-party fan control software, SMCFanControl - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. It can be used to increase the fan's idle speed to 2000 RPM. This won't make the fan run any slower when the computer heats up.

  • HT203254 My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

    My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

    I tried last week. The best I could get was a discount on the repair, but the damage to my logic board by the GPU caused it to no longer boot. The program ended in December last year, but it has been extended in the past.
    If you have no other damage you might be able to get a flat rate tier 1 repair if you are in the USA.

  • HT203254 mac book pro 2008 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor...

    Hi,
    I just want to know if my mac book pro 2008 15" with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor can be changed or repaired?My Mac doesnt have display on it...Sometimes it shows up...but after a while its black screen again..tnx

    It's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
    Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
    Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long.

  • New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

    I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
    My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
    I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
    I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
    What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
    What is Mercury Playback Engine?
    What's CUDA?
    Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
    Thanks very much!
    Greetings!

    Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others.  If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
    1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
       Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
    2. Pro -  PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
      Con -  Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
    3. Pro -  newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
       Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best  operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
    In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling"  and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
    In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
    IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
    I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
    Good Luck !

  • Flickering screen on 13" MBP 2010 with NVIDIA GeForce 320M

    Did anyone experience display issues with his / her 13" MacBook Pro (2010) with NVIDIA GeForce 320M? I've been using mine for several weeks and every now and then, the display starts flickering and I have no clue why. Unfortunately, the problem is not easily reproducible and the hardware test from the shipped DVD doesn't report any problem.

    I did no longer experience the issue unfortunately / fortunately. No idea what was causing it.
    My MacBook Pro is now at Gravis for repair because the left command key keeps popping out. According to the technician there the key itself is broken and he doubts that I can have it repaired under warranty. Questionable quality if keys break during normal usage. It's also the first keyboard in my life that breaks and I really don't hammer on the keys. Maybe I will end up ordering a replacement key on eBay.

  • Running ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Possible?

    Can I run the ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT together in my mac pro?

    The X1900 would have to go in double wide slot, you would have to run one or both at 8x.
    I think something like ATI 2600 might make more sense. The 8800GT is listed as discontinued (have a thread or two about it being EOL). So unless you have the 8800GT may not be an option anyway.
    The 4870 + 2600 combo would be best I can think of for us with 1st gen now.
    This assumes you simply need to drive 3 monitors. And don't want to wait and see if the Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 (doubtful) will support 1st gen EFI32's.

  • IPhone 4s cover flow slow down and jerky help

    Hi all
    i have copied my music over from my backup 3GS to iPhone 4s but in cover flow it is very very jerky and not as smooth at all, my 3gs is way smoother an much better than on the iphone 4s it even has problems loading the covers up as there is a delay in doing so as it seems to b slow
    whats happend there not as good as my 3GS
    So i tried to remove all songs and turned off the iPhone and powered the phone back up and put the music back on and its still jerky and not as smooth what the hells going on this phone should breeze through cover flow view
    My 3GS is still on iOS 4 does anyon have the same problems ? Try to scroll fast and it just jerks and slows down but like I say not on the 3gs
    Any help

    Hi, I have the same problem with my 4s.  After reading all the suggestion on this and simmilar forums I checked my picture files assigned to my albums.  I selected in iTunes an album, then right click to get pop up menu, selected "get info.  Then I went to artwork, copied it (right click, copy), then I copied the picture to picture editor to see the properties.  I noticed that some of my pictures assigned to albums are huge, something like 2000 x 2000 pix.
    When I repliced them with smaller ones, i.e. max 600 x 600, everything become smoth.  Now my cover flow work perfectly as it should be.  Definitly ther must be something wrong with iOS5 because before I did not notice such a problem on 3GS of 4 model, even I had the big picture assigned to the album

  • Cover Flow Slow when browsing - but works just fine if internet is open

    Hi:
    I have installed and am using itunes 7.0.2. When I select the Cover Flow view, the album covers come up and everything seems to work but there is a major lag and my dual core processor computer running Windows XP MCE is maxed out at between 70-90%. If, however, I open up Firefox or Thunderbird and then try it, my processor chugs along at 10-17% and everything in itunes works without any lag at all. Shutting down the internet connection brings the lag and system resource hogging back to critical.
    Any ideas what is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Did you post from the system that has the problem? (Your "More System Details" list shows Flash 11.7 instead of 11.8 for some reason.)
    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash ''(I see from your post that you've done this part)''
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

    is there something I can change to improve scrolling in firefox? I've tried to turnoff desktop effects and scrolling is the same annd also running firefox from a fresh profile. Hence, i suspect my nvidia 9800GT card to be the culprit. If anyone has a working xorg.conf with nvidia, 64 bit and smooth scrolling on the above mentioned sites please SHARE! Many Thanks!

    Sorry, I don't use KDE, but it may be related to how do you start KDE: from xinit or via KDM or sth.

    It's running the same driver as before.

    Did you uninstall it? Did you install the nouveau driver? 'pacman -Qqs xf86-video' will tell you what drivers you have installed.
    No, I don't have the nouveau driver installed. I have to check if I have the nv driver installed but I didn't uninstall the nvidia driver. I'm starting KDE via xinit.

  • Cover Flow Album Art won't change with Song Change

    When I play songs in Cover Flow mode (landscape), the album remains on the same album that I first played even though the song has advanced to another album. Is this behavior consistent with anyone else or is this only my iPhone that is acting this way? Seems like the album art would change when the song changes, as it does in portrait mode.

    I have many problems occuring randomly when i try to use Spotify on my Ipad Air 2 in the BMW car in offline mode.
    *After some time Album Art and track names are no longer updated
    * After some time some of the HMI buttons get greyed out
    I was able to solve all these issues by temporarily enabling WLAN hotspot on my mobile phone, then spotif on the ipad will correct itself.
    Of course that's no permanent solution to fiddle with the mobile phone while driving, it must be some sort of bug of spotify that will hopefully get fixed to have proper offline usability in the car.

  • Cover flow slow after upgrade to iOS 5

    my cover flow is really slow and sometime it's crash

    Hi, i have the same problem, restore the device two times, and put the music in auto sync, and manually, a few albums, a lots albums, the problem is the same, and in the album list the problem persist but is less problematic.
    This is a huge bug, is an IPOD, is for music!!!!
    For other way, the "STORE" button is a crap, only think in U$S, "STORE" here, "STORE" there, in all places.
    Another thing, the "GESTURES" is thinking for IPAD device, Some functions should be disabled from the interface., for that i have an option what dont have any funcion to me?!
