Do I have enough CPU to not care that my GPU can't ray-trace?

Hey Adobe-ites -
So I'm running some tests of my new iMac 5K (See image below) and I am getting the Ray-Tracing error message regarding my unsupported GPU card. 
After Effect is telling me that my GPU is not supported, and that I need an NVIDIA card with CUDA. 
Since I do not have these, and will certainly not be getting these, am I going to notice a huge difference since my CPU is pretty quick? 
And is there no way of fixing this? - Rumor has it that an update for AE-CC is coming out to fix this.
Also, in what particular scenario would I be using this ray-tracing feature?  I have a feeling I wouldn't miss it.  The work I do is not dependent on bending 2D objects to 3D.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Ok I figured as much.  And Yes!! I just got a nice surprise that Cinema 4D is free.  It automatically launched after I was futzing around with 3D options.  They're so generous nowadays!
While I have you guys here, any tutorial you can point me to that makes it easy to create a 3D object?  Preferably a 3D flat circle. Like so... (see image)
I want to create a spinning chronological timeline on the side edge of the circle, and spin it around to different points of the "timeline" (dark gray edge of circle in image)
As you can tell, I'm fairly new to 3D design and animation. My boss splurged on this fancy iMac so now I'm putting it to use.
THANKS!!

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

    Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
    Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
    Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

    I have one folder on an XSAN that one machine can not make changes to. Whenever I try to duplicate or copy a file in this folder I get 'The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).'
    The permissions are fine, and I have trashed the finder plist and reset the NVRAM.
    Anyone have a answer?

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • I have iphone 4 but not purchase that  from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty

    i have iphone 4 but not purchase that  from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty, i have purchase from grey market

    Only iPhones sold by authorized resellers in India will be serviced by Airtel or Aircel. If you purchased from an unauthorized source, it's quite possible that the iPhone came from some other country, and would be serviced only in that country. Discovering what country the iPhone was originally sold it will be quite difficult unless the place you purchased it from can tell you.
    So in practical terrms, it's probable that you have no warranty.

    What does the description for the magazine and/or the magazine's website say ? Some allow you to download on more than one device, but some magazines/newspapers only allow you one download of each copy.

  • Time machine says restore target does not have enough space, but not true

    I have a PowerMac G5 Tower with Dual 1.8Ghz, 3GB Memory.
    The internal system disk is a WD 1TB(931.4GB) disk, but it has serious volume structure errors that are not recoverable with First Aid or Micromat TechTool. The 1TB disk was only about 1/3 full(~350GB used).
    Fortunately, I have been using time machine since July, using the exact same type of disk(WD 1TB), which is external..
    I installed another external 1TB that is exactly the same as the original system disk(WD 1TB - 931.3GB).
    I am able to select the backup source of the original disk from the time machine disk, but when I select the destination(new 1TB disk which is completely empty and reformatted), I get the following error:
    -"This volume does not have enough space to restore your system"
    I don't get it.....the original and new disks are exactly the same size. In fact the time machine disk is also the same WD 1TB disk. Realistically, only 350GB should only be needed anyhow...
    Please help....
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Apple phone support recommended that I install Leopard on the replacement disk, boot from it, then use the 'transfer data from time machine backup option'. This worked, but takes an hour longer because I have to install an OS. I am in the process of transferring 337GB of data to the new disk using this method(system is estimating this takes about 8 hours, so I am sending this note before it completes). This further verifies that there was plenty of space on the 1TB replacement, despite the error message.
    The new replacement disk I chose was an internal Seagate SATA disk. I was wrong in the previous note, the original internal system disk that had the volume corruption was also a Seagate SATA disk, not WD(though, the external 1TB was a WD). I did duplicate the bug mentioned in this bug with this disk before I installed the OS, so the problem had nothing to do with Seagate vs. WD, or internal vs. external. I booted from the replacement, then used the setup assistant to transfer data from a time machine backup.
    In summary, there definitely is a bug in the time machine restore option: Time machine reports that there is not enough space to recover, despite the fact that it had a full 1TB clean, and newly reformatted space. I duplicated the error at least 6-7 times, during the course of troubleshooting, with different replacement 1TB disks(WD and Seagate), Internal/External disks, Firewire, USB, and SATA connect.
    This is very nerve-wracking, as the restore is the major reason we do backups. How could apple have missed this one?
    For what it is worth, I spent ALOT of time on this, because I also ran into the bug that WD external disks(firewire and USB) are not bootable on Power PC systems(this is of course a WD issue....).

  • When I get on to on to Itunes it says "You don't have enough access privileges for this operation" and I can't buy music either. How do I fix this?

    when I go into my Itunes now it tells me that " You don't have enough access privileges for this eperation" which is causing me other issues with buying my music too. " Could't download purchase........" something like media file and stuff. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. This is my mom's old macbook pro  and have never had a problem before. Just down loaded the new updated Itunes today but that didn't help anything.  Please help. Thank you

    Hey veo1,
    I found the following information about that error message:
    These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.

    Hey my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem?

    It can sync with a 32-bit, so long as you have the correct version of iTunes installed. I'm assuming that you are referring to a Windows based computer, so check out this support document regarding the device not being recognized by Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    I rented movies from I tunes and want to watch them on my HDtv.  I have a media player, not appleTV.  How can I watch the movies?

    No, to connect iPad to your TV, use one of the following cables:
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable
    Apple Component AV Cable
    Apple Composite AV Cable
    Apple VGA Adapter and a VGA cable
    Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store or check with your local Apple retailer.
