Do video cards not supported on Mac, work in bootcamp under windows?

I have recently purchased and installed Battlefield 3 on my 2006 Mac Pro1,1, on the windows partition and it plays okay on extremely low settings. I am using the ATI 4870 card I purchase from apple a year ago. I want to play the game at higher settings and found a video card "Sapphire radeon 6970 hd" that can run the game at great settings and great frame per second. The problem is that the card doesnt work on Macs (like my ati 4870 does), so I was wondering if the card would work on my windows partition, even if it doesn't work on OS X.  I would rather not have to buy a new PC. Thanks

I had already seen that site while googling, however I could not find information relating tom that specific card in my specific Mac. They had information about getting that card to work on OS x, bit it didn't mention if that worked with Mac 1,1. Also, I am only concned with whether it would work with the windows partition.

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

    For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
    However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
    I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
    I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
    pci10de,a:
    Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x252
    Revision ID: 0x00a3
    I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
    If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Just for clarification:
    You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
    In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
    I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

  • Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

    HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
    If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
    If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

  • Video mode not supported - after installing Lion

    Hi All,
    I installed the new Lion OS on my Mac Mini, all went great and clean.
    But,
    after 2 days of playing with the new OS cool new features I shutdown the Mac Mini and a day later when I started it my TV (Philips HDMI) could not recognized the video format and a message from my TV said "Video Mode Not Support" (I use the HDMI output to an HDMI port on my TV)
    I went to my apple reseler and they reset my PRAM.
    When I plugged it again at home it was working again.
    Then I restarted it to check all is good... and again "Video Mode Not Supported"
    It never happen with OS X Snow leopard. so I guess something is not working as it need to on the new Lion version.
    I'm not sure if there is a workaround until Apple will release a fix but if someone know how to fix it, ill be happy to know...
    thanks
    the hard part is that I dont have a wired keyboard or another display so I must go to Apple to get it solve each time it happens
    Eran

    Hi Markus.
    Im trying the update software once in a while but still nothing... I'm keeping my MacMini up and runing cus I know that if i will shout it down it will not come back with the right display driver.
    anyhow, it did happend once that I shut it down and then it didnt work again after it came back on, so I played with it a little, i took it out of the power outlet and try a few clicks on startup like alt ctrl P and R and cmd + F1 and few other thing and after a few tries it did work... I have now idea why and what actually made it work again but one thing I can say its that the new Lion version have anything it needs in order to work curectly the problem is that somewhere along the startup process (and now im gussing) the OS select a wrong driver for the attached display (in our case Philips) and send a video format to the display that cant be recognaized by the display.
    I realy hope pple will issue a fix to this problem soon!! cus in adition to that I have some zoom issues too which im not sure where it is coming from and if it have to do with our issue.
    Anyway we all hope it will be solve soon.
    Have a good one... Eran

  • Video format not supported error

    video format not supported error help

    You get the error message when you try to sync your MOV / M4V / MP4 files from your iTunes to your iPad? The files are playable in iTunes?
    Then, you'll need to change their so-called H.264 level to 4.1 or below. If you have a Mac, you'll need to use Subler. See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/watching-videos-taken-max-roundup-mkv-mp4m4v-v ideo-converters for a complete tutorial; start at the paragraph starting with "After this, it's worth clicking the video track in the upper list if you want to play the video back in the stock Videos app on your iDevice and not in a third-party one".
    The background explanation for all this is to be found at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible . Note that it uses other, more akward utilities to do the level fixing. Again, if you have a Mac, Subler is your friend.

  • Sim card not supported after unlock iphone 5c

    iphone 5c, 12.7 GB, version 8.1.1, after unlocking when i connect it to itunes w/ other sim, sim card not supported error registered,. i check it to IMEI and its unlock, but why icant use it? I try to restore to itunes and erase my iphone nothing works, what can i do?

    How was the phone unlocked?  Was it unlocked by your previous carrier?  The only way to unlock your phone is to have your previous carrier unlock it for you.
    If you phone was unlocked in any other way, this constitutes hacking or jailbreaking and your phone will not work with another sim card.
    Get the phone unlocked properly by your carrier and there is no reason why it should not work.

    I phone blocked! Sim card not supported!
    Recently bought an Iphone here in the Republic of Congo for about $600 and it was working fine until an update on Itunes. Now the phone just shows a USB cable and I tunes logo. When I connect the phone to Itunes it wants to restore and update, but then just blocks the phone again.

    Who did you by the phone from? Apple? A telecom company? Ebay?
    The phone was most likely jailbroken and unlocked. Applying the latest firmware updated undid that.

  • SIM card not supported for the 2nd time

    My initial iphone 4 was broken beyond repair, under warranty I forked out the cash to receive a replacement. A replacement which told me my sim was not supported - receiving a replacement micro SIM from my carrier it STILL DID NOT WORK. I sent my replacement away, and received a replacement for my replacement. SIM card still not supported. SIM works fine with any other iphone 4, i've tested it on several other computers and completed full restore. Is it just me or does Apple seem to be trolling me?

    I bought an iphone from o2 yesterday and got the micro sim activated today, inserted it and itunes says the sim carrier is not supported :S yet the phone is from o2 and so is the sim! And the sim works fine in a normal o2 phone when inserted with the bigger tray.
    I have taken it out and put it in again but no luck! I rang o2 and they said they are sending me a replacement micro sim but i have read about the problem being in the phone (well at least it was in the 3gs)!
    I'm so gutted - owned an iphone for 24 hours without using it think im going to o2 and then the apple shop tomorrow! Not at all happy...

  • Video format not supported .mov file

    I exported a slideshow from iphoto to quicktime with the following settings:
    1) Export: Custom Export: Movie to Quicktime
    Kind: Quicktime movie file Channels:stereo
    size: 200.2 MB Total Bit Rate: 8268 kbps
    Bit Rate: 1378 bps Video Dimensions: 1280x720
    Video Codec: H.264
    It exports to iTunes, but does not sync to the ipad (video format not supported)
    What is the best setting so I can get the highest quality?

    In looking at the videos that I have, all of which work on my iPad, the ones which I purchased through the iTunes Store are Low Complexity with bit rates of 128 kbps. The ones that I converted by HandBrake for iOS devices are Low Complexity and 159 kbps. All of them are around 850 x 480, H.264.

  • I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

    I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

    Hi Ali,
    I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
    Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
    Device Pack;
    Cisco Unified Communications Manager
    Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
    Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
    adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
    7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
    The steps are in this doc
    http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
    You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack

  • Native signing not supported on mac!!

    To sign both the installer and its executable we're using Thawte and Comodo certificates. For MacOS we've Thawte and Apple. This following command builds a proper signed installer version (along with its executable .exe) with the combination of both the certificates, in Windows:
    adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -target native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp.airi
    (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS789ea67d3e73a8b22388411123785d839c-8000.html)
    When running the same command to compile a .dmg file - ADT reported an error:
    Native signing not supported on mac
    I'm not sure if the adt doesn't has the ability to do such process in MacOS unlike Windows! Any idea?

    Hello Ken,
    Thanks for commenting. But that 'solution' already tested and its found not true with recent AIR SDK version.
    If you do this:
    adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp.airi -target native
    You'll have compiler error:
    "-storetype already specified", and you can see why in the command
    If you do this:
    adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp.airi -target
    You'll again have compiler error:
    "not enough argument"
    I don't think this have a fix yet.
    I lodged a bug at: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3655573
