Graphics Card Error message...

Hello,
I am experiencing a recent problem with my newly purchased MacBook Pro. (2.4GHz Intel core 2 Duo)
I have FCP 4.5HD and after transfering it over to my new machine I am unable to launch it. At launch I get the error message: "This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. -- AGP graphics card. "
It seems to me that there is a graphics card issue, but I would assume that a new MacBook Pro's graphics card would be more than sufficient and compatiable with a highly popular editing program not to mention they are both Apple products.
Would you be so kind as to stir me in the right direction? Why exactly am I experiencing this problem and what can I do about it.
Many thanks,
Karchi

This is because FCP 4.5 was designed for the PowerPC processors, and you are using an Intel processor. FCP 5.1 was the first version designed to work on an Intel machine.

You either need to either:
1) use the following hack -

or
2) Upgrade to FCP 6

  • Catalyst Control Center ATI graphics card error message

    This error message keeps popping up:
    "The Catalyist Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your ATI graphics driver or enable your ATI adapter using the Displays Manager."
    I have the latest driver and as far as I can tell, it is the only driver it is possible for me to "enable." Why does this message keep popping up and how do I stop it?
    Thank you.

    Uninstall the catalyst control center.
    Download the most recent display driver from Lenovo - not from ATI.
    Uninstall the existing display driver.
    Install only the display driver - do not install catalyst control center.  It is totally unecessary in this computer, in my opinion.  Both XP and Vista do a simpler job of managing displays.

  • Hp officejet pro l7590 with blinking memory card error message

    My all-in-one printer constantly blinks the yellow exclamation point and has the message Memory Card Error for no apparent reason.  I have not used a memory card.  It just decided to show the message and blink.  I turned it off and on again, with no change.  How do I make it stop?

    Experiencing the same problem, so did some troubleshooting of my own.  I am using Windows 7; however, the OS should not make a difference since this is the built-in card reader which can be used without a computer being connected.  Specifically, I was trying to read an SD card to make a proof sheet.
    I knew I had been able to read an older Compact Flash card, so tried that and was successful.  Then I tried an older SD card that is only 128MB -- no problem.  A closer look at the card causing the "Memory Card Error" message revealed that it is a 4 GB SD HC card.  The printer documentation includes Secure Digital in the list of supported memory cards, but not the newer variants.
    Clearly, the error message is caused by attempting to read a non-supported memory card.

  • Windows 7 graphics card errors with games - how do I get/update drivers??

    Just recently installed windows 7 with bootcamp and having some issues with games and screen savers. Most of the screen savers that come with 7 say I need a video card compatible with Direct3D. Secondly, 2 games that I want to play (minecraft and terraria) both give me graphics card errors. Minecraft works fine on the OS X side but says I should update my graphics card drivers. Terraria says the graphics card does not support Direct3D. How/where do I get these drivers or how/where do I update them? The graphics card I have is NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, running on a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2009 model.

    And you tried the Nvidia drivers, no.

  • T40 graphic card error

    Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 12:09 pm    Post subject: IBM T40 freezing  
    I have a question about my IBM T40 laptop. My computer is working fine for almost 4 years. One day the screen suddenly went black when I was using it. I held the power button and reboot it, the system remind that there was a system error and asked me to send the error report to the Microsoft, I did, and then got a report back saying that there is a problem with the video card, and this causes the computer to restart again and again. The report provided 2 solutions, but even before I tried one, the screen went back. I held the power button and reboot again, and pushed blue Access IBM button, then I tried to recover to the factory settings, the computer started to reinstall, but before it finished, the screen became black again...I consulted quite a few computer experts, they all said this is the graphic card failure, and I have to change the motherboard...
    I called IBM help service, they say because my laptop warranty period has finished, I will be charged if I want to get it fixed, and the charge is £193 + VAT + parts. But the market price for second hand T40 is just about £200!
    I paid a lot more money for my IBM laptop than other people did for other makes, I did not expect the motherboard to be gone so quickly.
    Anyone has better solutions?

    Welcome to the forum!
    What you're dealing with is a known issue on T4x/R5x series ThinkPads with ATi graphics. Basically, the graphic card starts detaching itself from the motherboard as a result of heating/cooling cycles and/or chassis strain.
    The only permanent solutions to this problem are GPU solder re-balling, or motherboard replacement. Temporary fixes are numerous, the most popular one being applying several "post-it" stickers on the top of GPU.
    Good luck.

  • G5 graphics card error: ATI Radeon 9800 pro

    Hi there,
    The display on my mac has all of sudden gone haywire, there's bars across the entire screen that keep on changing colours/flickering etc, and when I try to drag open windows they become blocks of noisey colour.
    So far i've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, ran the hardware test which picks up an error on the VRAM which is: 2ATI/1/4:113-A1440; ;16 (I think, it's very difficuilt to read properly), also pulled the graphics card out, given it a bit of a dust etc and put it back in to no avail. I've also tried plugging in another monitor which had the same problem.
    I'm assuming my graphics card's fried, but I wanted to check on here to see if anyone had any other ideas. I'm slightly wary about splashing out on a new card when i'm not completely sure it's the card that's the problem, it could be the logic board for all I know. Also not too keen in taking it to the apple shop as it'll be away for up to two weeks, and I really need a working machine just now.
    My specs are G5 single 1.8ghz, 512 ram, ATI Radeon 9800 pro card (not the special edition)
    Apologies for the long message, and for any spelling mistakes as I can barely see what i'm typing, any advice most appreciated.

    I would suggest first blowing compressed air all around the inside including logic board and video card (if you are adept at removing the card and reinstalling the better, careful not braking the AGP clip at the end of the slot that latches into the end of the card). Also keep the can upright at all times. This should help dislodge dust that build up over time and may cause overheating and unusual operation.
    Then run Apple Hardware Test disc that came with your computer and run the extended test. It should at least help give you an idea if it's the logic board and/or video card. It's not 100% failsafe, but worth a shot.

  • FCE 3.5 on Mac Pro graphics card error

  • Flashing BIOS fixed graphic card error

    Hey guys just to let you know I was getting a BSOD. It was STOP: nv4_disp 0x000000EA (0x963F6 D58, 0x84EEA078, 0x00000001).
    Obviously this is the nvidia graphics driver and I tried uninstalling my current drivers and reinstalling which made no difference. Altered agp aperture size, agp voltage and memory timings and it all made no difference.
    Then I flashed to BIOS version 1.46 and it has cured the problem  
    Just letting you guys know that if you get this error, try flashing your mobo first before trying anything else.

  • Importing from Lexar card - error message

    This has happened twice on two cards - one 4gb and the other 2gb, so not the same card but same camera (Nikon D2x). Get the error message " ICA download error -9919) occurred ...
    Anyone any ideas if this Camera vs Leopard, Lexar vs Leopard or Aperture vs Leopard. As this never happened before Leopard and Aperture update.
    Images are rescued from card via Lexar software, but it is a worry.

    Hello, I've just upgraded computers, and as Leopard is on the new machine, gone from 10.4.10 to 10.5.1, and I'm now getting this ICA download error - 9919 while trying to import as well.
    I'm using a Sandisk Extreme III 2gb card, and Aperture version 1.5.6. Storing the files in the Aperture library.
    I've tried to change the permissions settings as indicated in this thread and the blog post at Inside Aperture, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. And the permissions don't seem to be any different for the folders/files as they were in 10.4.10 (where everything was working fine).
    The odd thing is, the card I'm trying to import from has both jpg and raw files on it, and Aperture will import all the jpg files no problem - it doesn't give me the error until it gets into the raw ones. So it seems like if it actually was a permissions issue, this wouldn't be the case (?)...
    I went back to my old computer running 10.4.10 and tried it there, and everything works fine. So it seems to somehow be related to the switch to 10.5.1. I have the library in the same place, and haven't changed any other settings. I'm able to access all my existing photos on the new computer, so I believe everything's in the right place.
    Anyone else having this issue where the permissions fix didn't resolve it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • CS6 Premiere Pro video card error message

    I do believe my CS6 programs WERE working, but...  When I try to load Premiere Pro, I get the error message about not finding a video card.  The suggestions and solutions (listed elsewhere on Adobe) have not worked:  run as administrator, install latest drivers, etc..  I have a Dell Inspiron 560, Windows 7, and an integrated video of Intel GMA X4500.  How can I get my Premiere Pro to load?  Do I need to install a video card (if so, what are the recommendations--ATI, Nvidia, etc..).  I started with CS5 and upgraded to CS6.  Thank you.

    Ask in the Premiere forum for specifics. also make sure to run all updates. The 4500 was only supported in one of the point updates.

  • Final Cut Express HD & New I Mac CONFLICT - AGP graphics card error??

    Not sure what to make of this. I would imagine this should be as seemless as all of the other transitions I have made with apple. I just bought a new I MAC running 10.5.2 and for some reason when I try to load Final Cut XPRESS HD 3.0, it loads just fine but when i try to launch, an error window pops up stating this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. * AGP GRAPHICS CARD. And then proceeds to NOT launch the program.
    Hmmm??? My graphics card is: ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO. I had the first IMAC 20"(white body) and loaded the same program on that machine. It worked great.
    Thanks for any help.

    If I'm not mistaken (and I could be), I think FCE 3 isn't comaptible with IntelMacs. But you may want to ask in the FCE forum - this is the FCP forum.

  • Netflix Graphics Card Error

    I have been unable to run the Netflix Win 8 app on my X1CT. The error message relates to the graphics driver. I called Netflix and they said I needed to download the latest graphics driver, which I did and the app still didn't work. Is there something about our graphics driver that is incompatible with this app?

  • Graphics Card Error

         I have a 2009 Mac Pro, and I want to play The Sims 3 on it. The game installs perfectly fine, and it opens the launcher, but when I hit play, and error pops up saying the my graphics card is not supported. So I contacted The Sims 3 and they said my graphics card was 100% supported with the game. I talked to a worker on the phone, and they said to contact apple and I have had no luck. Before conatcting them, I unistalled the game, and reinstalled. Updated my drivers from using software downloaded form Nvidia's website. Still no luck.
         Can anyone give me any solutions that could help so I can play my game?
    Specs:
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    Processor:  2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory:  3 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

    VGA Display: 1280 x 768, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB graphics
    Storage: 1 TB SATA Disk

    The SIMs is a common complaint.
    It is a PowerPC program, and is no longer supported because Rosetta was retired as of 10.7.
    Other programs that have similar problems:
    Quicken 2007 (but Inuit has a US$15 upgrade that IS suppoorted in 10.7 and later)
