Do I need to buy another ATI x1900xt?

It seems that the ATI x1900xt is the best card in it's price rage to work with color effectively for professional use? yes?
Well, after a year has passed, my $400 card just broke, just like everyone else. Apple sells this card knowing its a faulty card, with it's over heating flaws, and glitchy behavior. How many cards does a post color guy have to buy? One a year? No warranty for the after market sale. I would have to buy a whole new computer with the crappy ATI graphics card with the additional warranty, so I may be able to go to Apple ever 6-12 months to replace the card without cost.
When will Apple feel responsible and make the color software fully compatible with a DECENT graphics card, so little struggling post facilities like mine will sleep well at night knowing my freaking computer monitor will actually stay on?
My fellow Apple lovers, Color is arguably the best software Apple has. Is there no other affordable card to buy? Any news for a better card for the future?

It's not the card preventing you from playing realtime uncompressed HD, it's disk speed.
Right the first time.
Here's some numbers: 1080i29.97 10-bit 4:2:2 requires a sustained throughput of 155MBytes/sec. Thats Bytes. Times 8 for bits, so 1.24 Gigabits/sec. eSATA is supposed to deliver that, but I've never seen it.
I use a Quad FibreChannel RAID3 side-by side dual MediaVault and have never dropped a frame.
In point of fact, the PCI bus isn't fast enough to support uncompressed HD, so everything is done proxy to DVI displays, and everything full scale has to happen on a dedicated card, like the KONA on PCIe.
So, given these numbers, why is it that COLOR can't achieve full frame-rate playback and takes so long to render? Well, let's take another look at those figures...

I bought Microsoft Office in '09 when I purchased my desktop. When I purchase a new MacPro, can I install it or do I need to buy another license?

Very interested in purchasing a Macbook Pro.Can I load the Microsoft Office software purchase in 09 on the new computer? Do I need to buy another license? Interested in the new iPad Mini, have an iPhone. Do I really need the Mini or the laptop with more capabilities?

To clarify the Rosetta issue: Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011 will both run in Lion and Mt. Lion. It is the 2004 edition and earlier that required Rosetta.
ARTWW: One way I restored Office 2004 capability in Lion (and now Mt. Lion) is through installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels:

The Mac version is a separate version from the iOS version and has top be paid for separately.
If you buy it from the Mac App Store (MAS) however it is quite cheap and can be installed on all your computers that use the same Apple ID.

Yes. They are not interchangeable. Different hardware platforms and different operating systems.

Do I need to buy another copy of Mountain Lion for my MacBook?

Yes.

My Keynote disappeared and the store says I need to buy another one, any help please?

It just disappereared and I really need it, I can't afford to buy I just need it, I had it but I don't even know what happened!

Usually you can download apps again but I don't know. You posted this on the iTunes forum and you bought it from the Mac app Store, not the iTunes Store. I'll request this topic be moved.

I NEED TO BUY ANOTHER IPHONE

Which iphone version should i buy have less defective battery drain and over heat
at this time
3GS 16 black
3GS 16 white
3GS 32 black
3GS 32 white
most people have experience please give a command
look like the white have over heat problem but perfect screen
and the black have perfect battery non over heat but screen turn yellow tin

Honestly besides the fact that one is white (attracts sun less) and one is black (attracts sun more) there is absolutely no difference over the battery drain. The storage size of the iPhone makes no difference on battery drain or the life of the battery. In all reality, buy which one you like better. I bought the black because I like it, and I bought the 32GB because I needed more than 16GB of space. So you should do the same, do you like the black or white? Do you need more than 16GB of space? Take a look at how big your music/video collection is that you plan on syncing with the iPhone, that will be a big determination on which size model you go with.

I migrated my mobileme to the cloud without OSX Snow Leopard. I then installed the updated software and still cannot access my mail through the mail on my dock. do i need to buy another app?

Can you help me figure this out. At the apple store they said install snow leopard then buy some app to get your mail to work on your macbook. the one guy said it'll prompt me to it, but i can't figure it out

I'm sorry. I must not have been too clear. I got Lion installed and I can't get into my mail without logging into iCloud. I used to be able to just click on the mail/stamp icon on my dock. And I kind of remember the guy at apple saying I had to buy something else in the app store after I successfully installed lion (which I just accomplished) Thanks for your help!

Do I need to buy another update for Lion?

if I bought one for my iMac but then do I need a seperate one for the MacBook Pro?
If I had bought the disk, wouldn't I have been able to use it on both computers?
I downloaded it to the iMac from the app store...

You are allowed to install it on multiple machines when bought from the Mac App Store. Just open the app store on the second computer and go to the purchased tab at the top of the window and click install where Lion shows up. (You have to be using the same Mac app store Apple ID.

Help! Decided to back up to the cloud for the first and purchased 10gb. It turns out I should've bought 20gb. This was only a few hours ago. I need to know whether I can just buy another 10gb, or I need to cancel that purchase and start again? Thanks!

Help! I purchased 10gb of storage so that I could back up to the iCloud for the first time a couple of hours ago, but I should've bought 20 gb.
Do I just need to buy another 10gb, or should I somehow try and cancel my initial purchase and start again!
Thanks

Many thanks, just tried that number from the uk and it's not recognised. I'll endeavour to track down another number..

Do I need to buy Windows after replacing my Hard Drive?

I have been told that my laptop (HP DV-6) needs a new hard drive. Looking at the steps, I am willing to do this myself, but I was also told I need to buy another copy of windows?
Is this true or can I use the key that came with my original disk?
This question was solved.

Need 3 monitor support and currently have ATI X1900XT

I have a single x1900xt and now have 3 monitors I need to power. Is it possible to combine NVIDIA cards and ATI or do I need to purchase another x1900xt? It is important that this setup work both in windows XP as well as OSX. I am planning on connecting a 30" and 2 20" monitors. Anyone have a similar configuration yet or can make any recommendations on a proper setup?
Mac Pro dual 2.66GHz 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

For the benfit of others, my (AKA Neurorad) original posts from Macrumors:
I have two Apple XT1900 upgrade kits. Installing the second card can be hazardous - it is a tight fit for slot 3. Removing the adjacent SATA drives will help. The release tabs on the slot sockets can be easily broken off if you do not have good access - I have proven that.
1. Yes, you can install two ATI cards, one in the 16 lane slot 1 position, and the other in either slot 2 or 3. It will not fit in slot 4. Slot 2 shares bandwith with slot 1 and can give you up to 8 lanes each. Slot 3 can give your 4 lanes at most for a card, but leaves slot 1 at 16 - probably the best if a secondary monitor is used on the slot 3 card. BUT - only the Mac OS works properly. Windows XP Pro get confused and the device manager has several additional unusable system components, including the 16 lane PCI express slot. Bootcamp 1.1.1 does not correct this. In Windows, you cannot properly activate a monitor on the second card or properly adjust to monitor attached to the slot 1 card. Not very useful. The grossly reduced bandwith of the second card in Mac OS X and the conflicts in Windows makes this useless for anyone who wants to boot into Windows.
More info: http://developer.apple.com/documenta...mentation.html
There is an application that helps manage the card settings called "Expansion Slot Utility" that appears after you add a card. It is in the /System/Library/CoreSerivces folder.
2. You CAN run the ATI X19000XT in slot 1 and put a Nvidia 7300 in slot 4. Again, Mac OS X handles this without a problem, but - surprise - Windows chokes and cannot use both at the same time.
Next, an RMA for the second card. Any suggestions from anyone??
Windows does boot with either Two ATI or an ATI and Nvidia card. WIth two ATI cards, only one the slot 1 card is active (tested with only one monitor hooked to each). The resolution is too low and cannot be properly set. With an ATI and Nvidia card, I was able to boot into the ATI card on one monitor, again only is low resolutions. I reinstalled the Nvidia drivefr then windows would boot only to the Nvidia card,a lthough at decreased resolution . I did not try the Nvidia card in slots 2 or 3.
I gave up with the second card (either Nvidia or ATI) after no luck in Windows via Bootcamp. I am hope to try again. The presence of the second ATI card in slot 3 messed up Windows Device Manager. Besides the usual PCI slots being flagged before I added anything, the additional ATI card caused the slot 1 driver to report a problem under Device Manager. Even if it worked, running the card in at best a 4 lane slot seems counterproductive (the only way to preserve the full 16 lanes in Slot 1 is to put the additioanl card in slot 3. The ATI card will not fit in slot four (8 lanes) although the Nvidia 7300 can fit in slot 4.

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Is your Apple ID set properly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores?
If so, log out from there and log back in.
If that doesn't solve it (it should), check Settings > General > Restrictions
