Fiery 250 driver and new Intel Mac

I recently installed a new Intel iMac in my office and hooked it up to our Xerox printer via our Fiery 250 RIP. Bad news--the driver does not work with the Intel Mac. I had a Xerox tech come and try to troubleshoot it for a few hours, went under the hood to try and resolve the issue...nothing. Next step is he is going to have to contact Fiery. Anyone else have any experience with an Intel Mac and getting the driver to work on Fiery? Very inconvenient.

i can give you a tip.
download the ppd from the support page.
install it via tcpip and select the ppd.
it will work to print, but no special features then.

Using External Boot Drive with New Intel Mac Mini

I have a 1st Gen MacMini and use an external 7200 RPM Lacie drive as the system boot drive along with all the applications.
If I were to purchase a new Intel Mac Mini, is it possible to use the current external drive as the system drive or is there some conversion steps that would be necessary ?
Thank you.

You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.

If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

Hi! You can update the component to 6.4.1 or you can
force QuickTime to run in Rosetta so that it can
(try) to use the PowerPC version of the component
that you already have.

When I try to download OS 10.5.6 from 10.4.11 I get 'software cannot be installed, I havemore than 1GB RAM, enough Hard Drive and a intel core processor. The OS 10.5.6 software is from my newer Mac ibook, any suggestions?

Hi Tommy,
Using install discs created for another computer is the problem. I suggest you get a stand alone install disc for Leopard and give that a try. I know it's a bummer since you have a perfectly good install disc but you can't take an install disc from a new computer and use it to update an older computer. As a matter of fact you would have problems using your install disc on the same type of computer if it didn't have the same build number. In the old days of Power Macs that wasn't an issue. You could take an install disc for one computer and update every Mac you owned. Sorry.

Need Advice: New Intel Mac Mini Still In The Box

Hi!
Okay.. I know... I have several posts going here as I have several issues I am trying to solve rather simultaneously. Thanks for being patient with me.
I have my old 1.25 Ghz PowerPC Mac Mini running 10.4.11 and all was well and happy. Then Security Update 2007-009 happened and all went to ....well... you know and, yes, it was bad! Went to Apple, got it running of sorts as they re-installed the OS, but they used an old version of OS X. (10.4.7. Can you believe that?) This caused other problems. It continues to have all sorts of difficulties, as I have had to get applications to re-recognize that the computer is back up to 10.4.11. Currently, I am struggling with trying to get iTunes to access it's music folders on the external hard drives. Realized that I hadn't even gotten around to figuring out whether or not some of my other applications work, like some of the games and third party, etc.
The thing is I got a new Intel Mac Mini for Christmas and it's still in the box because as I suspected I need to get my old mac perfect again before I can even think about migrating stuff over to the new Mac. But.. here's the thing... it's starting to look pretty much like 2008 will come and go before I can get the old Mac ready enough to take the new Mac out of the box. This really is rather silly!
Now... I can't get the old Mac to see the music and it made me think. I have all of my iTunes music and iPhoto backed up on an external hard drive (I used Apple's "Back-up" software to do it) and in addition to this two complete copies of the iTunes music and iPhoto photos albums on two separate external hard drives. Should I just forget using migration assistant? Can I get my music and my photo albums into the new mac directly from the external hard drives?
Or...can I use "back up" to restore the music and photos into the new Mac?
I am starting to think that the best way to get my new Mac running is not risk it by attaching it to my old Mac. What do you think?
Thank you so much for any advice or experiences you can give. -Charlotte

I know that I am vacillating back and forth as to what to do. Thanks so much for being patient with me. All of your advice is really appreciated and I am at least closing in on deciding on my strategy. Probably will follow your first response advice, especially considering that some of the third party apps may not have updates to handle Leopard quite yet. Anyway... it's a good strategy since everything is on the externals anyway.
You can say that fine.
Ha ha ha.... yes, I've been messing around with computers since my parents bought our first Apple computer back in 1979. Just like you, I've never had a serious problem with any of the computers and we've had them all, running all sorts of things from the Original Apple and Apple IIc (which my parents still have and it still runs!) to the Commodore and all the Windows permeations and then on to the Macs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger, probably because we've always been careful with the machines and what we install in them and how we update them. I have always kept my computers on UPS' and un-plug them when storms brew outside. As it is I am still using my eight year old Windows 98 computer, (for games mostly) and it still runs quicker than most peoples windows pcs and it's only a 740 Megahertz.
I haven't had to re-install anything, especially on this lovely little Mac Mini until now and wouldn't have in this situation, had I known more. I had taken the little Mac Mini in for a Procare "Tune-Up," only four days before the big up-date disaster. Not sure what they did to my mac in the tune-up but the guy gave me back the machine assuring me that the computer was perfect with no problems in answer to my asking "were they sure?" Even after the Genius Bar techs at the Apple Store re-installed the OS to fix the big problems it seems that no one ever thought to run verify disk. Had the Genius Bar techs at the time of the tune-up done this, or at least told me to do this, the last security update would not have wrecked so much havoc. It was only after I got the machine back from Apple that second time that I found that the directory had been corrupted when I ran disk verify. Actually it is amazing that I have had this little Mac Mini for so long and so not have had any problems on it that I would be able to go so long without having to know this really pretty important aspect of keeping one's mac in good running shape. I had been running maintenance scripts and permissions verify and repair and thought that was all there was to it. Silly! You know... that really is a testimony of how nice these little machines are.
Anyway... experience is a good teacher and I have learned so much it's actually been great! This stuff is pretty interesting.
Now... on to Leopard!
Thanks so much and you have a great New Year! -Charlotte

Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
(BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

Windows Vista Installation on New Intel Mac

I bought a full version of Vista about two years ago. I removed it from the Intel Mac I had originally installed it on. Indeed, I've replaced the HD it was on, but for reasons other than removal of Vista.
I installed Vista successfully on a new Intel Mac, but it won't accept my Product Key.
I followed the instructions and tried the online activation. After entering a very long string of numbers, I received a curt, automated, "We do not recognize your registration number. Please call back at another time." The line then disconnected.
Various searches online have produced no result. The Microsoft help page has an article on registration, but all searches from it for my issue lead me back to that same page.
I assume that the fact that the OS was registered on the other machine has caused a problem, but I note that the license lets me install the OS on one machine. This, I am doing. As the OS was sickeningly expensive, I'd like to reinstall to get some use out of it.
Any ideas?

That's sort of what I feared.
Considering that almost no one buys a "full license" to Windows other than factory installed on a machine or as an upgrade, I figured the problem I had would generally be unusual, except for people who installed it new on an Intel Mac, which is why I posted the question here.
I've not been able to find on Microsoft's help page a phone number to call Microsoft about this issue, and, as I said, all purported web-based solutions send me right back to the very same web page about product registration. If they weren't a monopoly, they wouldn't be able to get away with this.

New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

New Intel Mac mini: Is 1G Ram Enough?

Hello everyone.
I intend to get my dad and my sis (upgrade from her old iMac G3) each a new Intel Mac mini Core Solo.
I understand that the new Intel Mac mini shares the ram memory between the processor and the "in-built" graphics... also understand from an Apple KB docu that it is best to pair the same ram to maximise efficiency or something...
My dad will be mainly in iPhoto, organising his digital photos, burning CDs and touching up a bit here and there; And both of them will be using mainly to surf, email, chat, maybe a bit of word processing etc - I would say "light to moderate work"
So is 1Gb of Ram enough for the processor and the graphics? I would probably try to max out as big a hard disk for them... and a 19" monitor...
Thanks and cheers

If he can afford it, I would recommend putting 2-1G modules in there. OS X loves RAM and will call for even more running apps under Rosetta.

My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?

My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

Getting a new Intel Mac, Logic question

I currently run Logic Studio on my dual G4, which is finally starting to die on me. I am going to be getting one of the quad Mac Pros soon, and I wanted to make sure that my current Logic Studio will install on it. In other words, does the move to 10.5 and the intel mac mean I need a different version of the Studio disks, or will my current ones install and run without a problem?

Your Logic Studio disks (ie Logic Pro 8) will install fine on your new Mac Pro.
It is a Universal Binary installer which means it will look at you hardware and install the version appropriate for your chipset.

Compatiability to run Windows on New Intel Macs

Is it the plan for new Intel Macs to be able to run Windows-based programs without having to run emulation programs like VPC?

I work in Environmental Science and the amount of
programs for presenting and manipulating data are few
and far between.
Have you looked here for software that you might be able to use?
Wouldn't this approach open up a lot of avenues for
Apple and make switching to Apple easier for people?
Perhaps, or it could make people think of a Mac as just an expensive Windows PC. And developers could say, "If Macs run Windows, then let's save some money by not making a Mac version of our software." And consumers will probably post questions here about how their Windows program won't run right on their Mac, or call Apple asking for Windows support, or get all upset because Windows crashed their Mac and erased all their data and blame it on Apple...
Apple has said that they will do nothing to prevent Windows from running on Intel-based Macs, but they will also do nothing to facilitate it. This means that if it is at all possible to run Windows on your Intel-based Mac, doing so will be totally unsupported by Apple.

Playing older projectors on new intel macs

hi
I recently got a new mac intel laptop and found that none of
my projector movies are supported by the system. This includes
pieces made between 1998 and 2006 on versions of director upto 8.5.
Actually a piece I finished in Febuary of this year is showing as
not supported!
Is all this work obselete now? Are there any third party
solutions to getting these works to still play - other than
watching them on an older computer. Or would they work if I
republished the movies from the source files with an uptodate
version of Director?
thanks in advance for any help

Did you mean to say "versions of Director AFTER 8.5"?
Director versions up to 8.5 were only capable of creating
projectors that ran in Mac OS 9.x or below. On recent Mac computers
running OSX, OS9 was able to be run in an emulation mode called
"Classic". Classic mode is not supported on the new Intel Macs. If
you use a later version of Director, you should be able to create
OSX versions of your projectors that are reported to work on the
newer systems (I don't have a machine to test). Of course you need
to make sure you have versions of any Xtras that will work properly
in OSX.
Hope that helps.

HELP WITH TRANSFER FROM IBOOK G4 TO NEW INTEL MAC

HI
I just got a new intel mac and want to transfer all my stuff from my ibook G4 ... I tried the migration assistant, I plugged in the fire wire and turned on my ibook whilst pressing the T down. I get the firewire icon on my old machine but the new one still says 'waiting for old machine to restart' It just wont do anything when it gets to that point.
I dont think I'm doing anything wrong but the thing is gettting me aggravated to say the least.
HELP PLEASE!!

Karen can't help there but wanted to warn you.
I did the same thing--iBook G4 to intel iMac, did a "transfer all my stuff" and had problems. At least one G4 program caused my iMac to crash at start-up (it was a special anti-virus program). Also some messy things like the iMac though it was on a wireless network after the copy (like my iBook was) when it was, in fact, on a wired internet connection (it still worked but I got errors in the console log). Just messy.
Once you get your problem sorted out I'd be careful about which programs I transfered over.

I am not much of a computer technician. I bought a time capsule thinking I could use this for an external hard drive and keep my MAC hard drive free. Was I mistaken? One I back everthing up on the TC, can I delete everything off of my MAC?

TC was designed to backup your Mac. The TC literature is pretty clear about this:
If your Mac's hard drive has a problem....it will sooner or later....you can use your backup on the TC to rebuild your Mac.
But.....if you move all of your data to the TC from your Mac....you only have one version of that data now, and it is on the TC.
Have you thought about what will happen when....not if....the TC has a problem? Since the only version of your important data was on the TC, and the TC has failed......you lose all of your data.....because you have no backup.
A much better plan would be to add a USB or FireWire hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac. Move the data on your Mac over to the hard drive.
Then, the TC will backup both your Mac and the hard drive. So, you have original data on on one drive and backups on another drive.
That would be a minimum backup plan. Most of us have more than one set of backups.
