Fine tuning my new system

I have a G4 duel with lots of 3rd party software installed and that has caused all kinds of issues with final cut express HD.
As a result I have just purchased an end of line G5 17" imac at a good discount, it shipped with Panther OSX(10.3.5) Superdrive, 1.8g processor, but alas it only has a 80 gig hard drive. the good news is the company have thrown in an extra gig of ram. and a boxed edition of Tiger.
What would be the best way to set up my new system, the only software i want to use is Final Cut Express, I have the 1.0 version, 1.01 upgrade and the HD upgrade.
1. What system would you use
2. What version of final cut would you load
3. How much of the system do i need to install.
Thanks Mike Hooley.

1. Tiger. I would erase the hard drive and install the OS.
2. FCE3.
3. ???? I usually don't install foreign languages in the OS. Is that what you mean?

  • Clean install Yosemite - can't transfer Lightroom to new system - Creative Cloud says I have it, other progs fine.

    Hi Everyone
    I've done a clean install of Yosemite on another hardrive - (Creative Cloud member) re-loading of all other software has worked fine.
    Creative Cloud loader says I have Lightroom and it's uptodate - I haven't downloaded it onto the new system yet (clicking icon goes through basic install) - it wants a a serial number, I have checked on the Mavericks system and the last 4 digits are blanked.
    I have signed out of Creative Cloud on Mavericks - returning to Yosemite, no change to Lightroom status.
    Can anyone help with this situation - can't Uninstall Lightroom on old system, same in Yosemite, if I try to boot it from other drive/system (Mavericks) from Yosemite Trial version or serial number request, stuck with software I've rented and can't use.
    Adrian CB

    Hello Rikk
    Many thanks for your reply.
    Just to make it clear - I have not installed Lightroom 5 on the Yosemite system, it is only on the other hardrive and Mavericks. I have checked what is on Yosemite releating to Lightroom - there are 2 files for L5, one is in System - Library - App Support - Adobe, this file is a serial no. reference, the other is in User - Library - App Support - Adobe, these are a set of Folders for Presets, Sets & galleries etc..
    From the CCloud loader Lightroom 5 will not allow Uninstall, there is nothing (program) to uninstall - it has occurred to remove the files I have mentioned to another drive and see if CCloud loader finally acknowledges it is not on the Yosemite system.
    It does seem that these files are indicating to the CC loader prog that it is on Yosemite - so, if I removed the files - more particularly the serial number file - logged out of CCloud, logged back in and hope Lightroom is available to download. Do I continue if the download is for trial/serial number version - and then put back the serial number file to have it usable?

  • SCOM fine tuning

    Hi, 
    i've basic question in system center world.
    i've deployed scom new installation with big workload all Microsoft products. once i imported Management pack, i received tons of error and notifications, servers status goes critical in about 18 server.
    how i can quick check and fix that, should i do that one by one or i can apply setting generally to do basic fine tuning and how i do that ?
    i red some and used most common report but i don't know i can disable all this events for time been.
    thanks, 

    Hi,
    Usually, you don´t want to import a lot of management packs at a time since they require different amounts of configuration and tuning once imported. If you haven´t done so, read the Mangaement Pack documentation that comes with every MP (or download the
    documentation if you´ve downloaded imported the MP´s from inside the SCOM console). Some MP´s requires almost no configuration while others requires a lot of configuration to function properly.
    There is no quick fix as you will have to tune the thresholds to better suit the needs of your organization. To find out what is wrong with each server, navigate to Monitoring -> Windows Computers -> Pick on of the crititical servers -> Righ click,
    choose Open and then Health Explorer.
    Inside the Health Explorer you will see what you have to do to that server but you really need to look through the Management Packs documentation, other wise you won´t get a proper monitoring.

  • New system with Neo4 Platinum doesn't work at all!!!

    Hi guys,
    I bought my new system:
    1 - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Core Venice
    2 - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum /BIOS 1.1
    3 - RAM S3+ 1GB (2x512 MB)
    4 - Western Digital Caviar SE 120 GB SATA WD1200JD
    5 - Hitachi Deskstar 80 GB SATA II HDS728080PLA380
    6 - NEC 3500AG DVD-RW
    7 - Albatron 6600GT 128 MB PCI-E
    8 - Enermax Noisetaker 485W
    Where is the problem?
    It's IMPOSSIBLE to install the OS.
    I can't install Windows XP, I can't install Windows 2000, I can't install Windows 98.......
    When I try to install Windows (no matter what version) the system tell me that it CAN'T read or write some file from the CD to the HD.
    No matter what files it is, once it's the shell32.dll...... another installation it's the file ntdll.dll....... another time the file riched20.dll....... another time it's the file "whatTHEhell!" and so....
    I tried to connect one only HD, I tried to connect the WD and the same. I tried to connect the HITACHI, and the same.
    I tried to connect my HD to SATA 1, 2, 3, 4 on nVidia controller, and the same.
    I tried with the Silicon Image controller and nothing changed.
    I tried to change the optical drive, I connected my old ASUS CD 50x and disconnected the DVD Writer, but the same.
    I've started to think that this could be a cable issue, then I changed the IDE Cable and the SATA cable... but nothing.
    I flashed the bios from version 1.1 to 1.4 with the support to Venice core, the same.
    I also disconnected my SATA HD and I've plugged in my old PATA HD, an old Samsung 6,4 GB HD............... BUT NOTHING!
    I can't imagine nothing more to do to solve the problem, but I'm listening for your advices.
    Thank's.

    hi elem,
    Type of floppy i meant was 1 with a usb componenent like:-
    Mitsumi FA404M 1.44 Silver FDD+Int USB2 7 in 1 Card Reader so if it's just a n ordinary floppy i'd plug it back in.
    I'd try 3) Memtest86+ run it as decribed in the link to verify your memory isn't the issue.
    luck
    Yes Supershanks and blazing storm,
    I misanderstood, but now I reattached my floppy and performed a full scan of my HDDs
    with their own diagnostic tools, downloaded from the Western Digital and Hitachi websites.
    I choosed the DOS version that make a bootable floppy disk and verified the drives.
    The HDDs are working fine and there's no errors on the surface, the HDDs are ok.
    Quote from: SAB on 05-June-05, 19:35:43
    Try swapping the optical drive that you are loading the O.S. from. Make sure SATA controller AND SATA ports are enabled. Make sure IDE controller for floppy is also enabled. Perhaps your optical drive has one piece of dust on just the wrong place. That's all it takes to throw one of those things off!!!
    SAB, I've tried to swapping my optical drives yet. I've tried a DVD-RW NEC 3500 AG, then a CD Player from ASUS, then a CD-RW from LITEON.
    The same problem with the new system, but these are performing very well on my old pc, then these aren't the problem.
    I think the problem could be only on CPU, or MOTHERBOARD or MEMORY.
    Thank's Supershanks, I'm downloading MemTest86+ for a memory scan.
    I'll let you guys to know as fast as possibile the results!

  • [Solved] Cannot burn CD's with LG drive on new system

    Arch x86_64 (up-to-date) on a Zotac GF-8200-C-E miniITX motherboard, Athlon II X2 240 CPU with an LG SATA GH22NS50 DVD+-RW drive. The drive reads CD's fine, but cannot burn anything successfully.

  • How do I play music on the new system?

    I just downloaded the new system for iPhone 4. First time I tried to play my songs on iTunes it started scanning titles, that's all. I can't get it to play. What's going on? These are songs synched from my MacBook Pro, some I wrote and recorded and others. The only one I can get it to play is one I downloaded from iTunes.
    Tom in Texas

    Could you go a little slower? Use smaller words?
    Think I figured it out. iTunes seems to download the music...or something like that...the first time it's used. Had to cycle through all of them before it would play. Playing fine now.
    Tnx...

  • Boot Camp - Setup was unable to create a new system partition....from Windows install

    Hi folks.  So I ran the boot camp wizard and made a USB install key for windows from that.  I boot to it and everything works until I get to the install.  I format the Boot Camp partition as indicated in the walkthrough and then I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.  See the Setup log files for more information." from the Windows installer.  What do I do?   Thanks.              

    just to add to the mix. . . i just got a new macbook retina.
    Originally used a USB flash drive. Hit the same barrier described here.
    Spent a few hours with drive unplugging / replugging silliness. No progress. Went back into OSX to attempt using an external DVD drive. There is no option for that in Bootcamp assistant now - must use USB.
    Grabbed a different USB stick and started again. This time I used the other USB port on the macbook (the one on the left). Everything worked fine this time!?
    You still have to go into "advanced options" and hit "format" when you get to the partition screen.
    Moral of the story: different stick, different port. Sounds random. If that doesn't work, try changing your socks and putting on a hat.
    Good luck!

  • Fixing Radio: Fine tuning songs (Hits, Variety or Discovery Mode)

    Our radio has always been weird, you never know what songs it plays, and it always REPEATS THE SAME GOD darn SONG over the past hour.
    It's time to fix it. 
    If you've tried, or at least clicked into an app of a competing service, this is how it looks like:
    You can kinda tune the station to WHAT YOU LIKE, for eg, Hits, Variety, or Discovery and the radio will adapt what you want to hear.
    Here's another example (A not very solid example though):
    As you may know, Echo Nest is now a Spotify company, anyway, this shows the radio where you can slide to whether artist only or discovery in general (This might not be a good example, as if I just wanted to listen to the artist, I would've just went into the artist page and click on Shuffle Play.)
    Here's another example:
    This is a relatively new music service, but if you've tried its radio, you wil find out that its really really spectacular. You can tell the service what is your mood and it plays songs based on that, but if that's not enough. It actually has brand new algorithms that is built just for this, I read somewhere that it even monitors your location, the songs you play in that location/event, the volume the song is playing and when you hit the radio mode, it will analyze all of this algorithms and play based on that.
    So the radio needs improvements in its really bad algorithms and a fine tuning option.
    PS: If you go the comments section of this idea, in page 2,  bought up a really good visual of a competing music service vs Spotify when using the radio, if you've time you should take a look and if possible share more of the problems that you face with Spotify Radio.

    "Improving Station" is a joke.  I have a station based on Laura Nyro.  I keep getting the same very popular Nyro songs (but even that rarely) and some other 60s, 70s, 80s female vocalists.  Nothing newer.  I also get a ton of stuff nothing like Nyro, including male vocalists and male bands.  How many times do I reject anything of Elvis Costello before you stop playing it?  Same for many other artists.  You really need to track that if someone has rejected every one of an artist, quit playing that artist. Or, better, provide as has been suggested elsewhere here, a button "reject artist."  I've nothing against Costello, or Lightfoot, or the Doobies, or Bread, or many of the artists you put forth on my Nyro station.  I just don't want anything besides lilting female vocalists on my Nyro station.  (As well as much more Nyro.) Your learning algorithms are a joke, song by song is useless-- I have to come running back to the computer to keep rejecting stuff, even though I've been trying to "improve" the station for weeks.

  • Creating New System Entry in SAPGUI 7.10

    Brief Description of the problem:
    I am unable to create a new system entry in SAPGUI 7.10 Logon Pad. It works fine if you choose "Custom Application Server" as Connection Type but when you choose "Group/Server Selection" instead the Next Button is still grayed out and hence unable to create a system.
    Earlier even the Group/Server box never used to get populated but after creating sapmsg.ini, i could go one step further and now I think it looks for some value in Saprouter field in order for the Next button to get activated.
    __*What I am Looking for:__*
    Can anyone tell me how could I incorporate a saproute.ini, as I not clear on the syntax and I never have to use the sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini in SAPGUI 6.40 for users who are connected to Internal network. so this is something new in SAPGUI 7.10 and I am still clueless on why Internal users have to use saproute.ini.
    <route name>=<route>
    Here <route> has the following form: /H/<hostname where saprouter is running>/S/<service saprouter is running>
    So in the above string, how will I find the service Saprouter is running.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response.
    It will work if you add "sapmsSID 3600/tcp" to the etc\*Services* file.
    In SAPGui 6.40, i used to just have sapms00 3600/tcp and it works.
    so in SAPGUI 7.10 looks there is a slight change and need to suffix the SID details also. I still don't find any SAPGui 7.10 documentation regarding the change I did in services file.
    Surprisingly SAP support was recomending to add router entry inorder to make it work inspite teling them we don't need to access SAP systems through router since we access them internally. No good support from them and they just jump to conclusions and they keep repeating the same thing over and over again even if you try to make them understand that it's not what you need.

  • System Landscape New system connection fails

    Hi,
    I've configured SSO between ECC6 (ABAP stack) and Portal EP7 (AS Java Stack) and now when I test the new System Landscape Object connector it fails with the following message.
    "Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct."
    All the SSO settings look to be OK in the Visual Admin and in STRUSTSSO2, SSO2 they are all green. The test for the Connector and the JCO connections is failing. The JCO ping tests fine and I'm able to log into the portal and see the UME and ABAP users in identity management. I've opened an oss message for this but have not had a reply as of yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Jim V

    Hi James,
    Thank you for replying. The connector or Connection is the one that is failing. I used the correct template for creating the system (SAP ABAP Stack) backend connection. The SAP_HR_MasterData (JCO) connection fails as a result but the ping test tests fine. I've gone thru the UME and Landscape (Connector) configuration about 10 times making sure it is correct. I called to escalate the OSS message but still no reply.
    Thanks,

  • Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 not available?

    I'm using the Trial version of Aperture 2.1.2 and tried editing FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro raw images. For Raw Fine Tuning, only versions 1.0 and 1.1 could be selected (and thus sliders such as "Recovery" are unavailable). I did a Software Update (which installed Raw Converter 2.5), and I restarted my system. No apparent change: only 1.0 and 1.1 are the choices.
    Does this mean that Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 is not available for FinePix S2 Pro raw images?

    Perhaps...
    I can understand if Apple chooses not to support or to discontinue support for a particular image type, especially given the Fuji circumstances. And I appreciate the ability to do a 30-day free trial. I guess where I got a little irked is that I had to spend time troubleshooting a problem I thought should have been documented (it is not a bug; it was a decision that affects the availability of product features).
    Thanks for the replies, Brian.
