Graphics Card Not Recognized under Mavericks Update? MacBook Pro 8,2

Every since I updated my macbook to mavericks, my dedicated graphics card is not recognized under system profiler or any software on the computer. I have the Macbook Pro 8,2 (late 2011) and the upgraded dedicated GeForce graphics card from the factory. My system is just running off of the integrated intel graphics at this point and there is no option to switch back in system preferences. Is my card just dead in there or did mavericks ignore it? I have no other operating systems to check. Should I just make an applestore appointment and get it looked at?

Found the solution ... finally!
Go to your system preferences - energy saver and then check if your Graphics setting is set to »higher performance«. Somehow the update to Mavericks change this setting to »better battery life«
Now both cards are recognized and running ... however, watch out: since I changed that setting, my fans are going crazy! ... so I'm not sure if I should keep it. It would be much easier if one could change the setting all the time without the need to logout and login again ... well, Apple though good isn't the Holy Grail

Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

Dedicated graphic card not recognized

Hello there, I have bought a Lenovo G500 with a i3 3110m proccesor 4 gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 8570m graphics card. I have a very big problem now, a couple of hours ago I got a blue screen of death and since then, my dedicated graphics card isn't recognized, only the Intel one. I tried doing a system restore of yesterday when I installed some programs, that didn't work, I did another one for about a week ago, I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, I even installed an older one to see if anything works, but nothing yet. Something like this happened before but I don't know how it got fixed, I'm asking for someone's help because I really don't know what to do, the notebook is only a couple of months old and I don't think it should be acting this way. Thank you.

Graphics card not recognized

Photoshop CC

This seems to be an issue with CC, as the graphics processor is recognized just well by CS6. All settings are exactly the same in CC and CS6.

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.

Iphone 5 not recognized by iTunes on MacBook Pro

Phone is running OS 7.1.1, iTunes 11.2.2 and Macbook Pro is OSX 10.6.8. I have tried removing the extensions and reinstalling iTunes as suggested in a support article, restarting with or without the phone attached, but no luck - the phone doesn't show up in iTunes.
I have a rather large selection of photos/videos on the phone that I need moving to a permanent storage - this is very frustrating.

After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

Hello!
I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Upgrading graphics card and ram on late 2011 macbook pro?

Hi. I have a late 2011 macbook pro, and I wanted to know if i could upgrade my graphics card and ram for better performance while gaming. I play WoW and diablo 3 and often notice lag and can only run on low settings. So my graphics are Intel HD 3000 which is integrated, and i was wondering if i could upgrade to a graphics card like AMD or nvidia. Also, would upgrading from 4 gb of ram to 8gb of ram help my performance? Thanks.

You cannot upgrade the graphics card on your MBP. It is soldered to the logic board.
RAM can be increased to 8 or 16 GB. The correct specifications are; 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
The best vendors for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Ciao.

USB net stick will not work and not recognized by brand new macbook pro lion

Hi and thank you to anyone that can help!
I just bought a new macbook pro with OX 10.7 Lion the other day. I have an Alcatel x220 USB internet net stick that I used to use with my previous computer with Windows 7.
When I insert the usb stick, the setup driver is supposed to come up, so I can install it on the Macbook. But nothing comes up, and the macbook does not even recognize that I have inserted the net stick.
I also downloaded the program, and the drivers, and still nothing. The apple people tried fixing it for a few hours today, and they can't figure it out either. Same with the cell phone company that provides me with the net stick. No one has any idea how to fix it.
Basically, anyone have any idea how to get the USB net stick Alcatel x220 to work with a new macbook pro OS Lion 10.7?!?!?!?!? This is driving me crazy, and I would really appreciate anyones' help! Thank you!!
Daniel

thanks I appreciate your response. Yeah I read something about the 64 bit problem. I found this link and at the bottom there is a driver update or something to make it work with 64 bit. But I can't seem to get it to work right, and even could the apple tech people. This is the link: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/mobile_broadband/ot-x220.html
Also, do you have any idea which USB sticks there are that are compatible with the 64 bit Lion?
Thanks again

120GB Vertex SSD not recognized in Late '08 Macbook Pro

Hi there,
I can't seem to get my late '08 macbook pro (MacbookPro5,1, unibody, 2.53ghz) to recognize my new Vertex 120GB. It hangs at the blank light blue screen, or sometimes gets the folder icon with question mark on it.
Oddly enough, if I put the SSD in an external USB/SATA enclosure, it boots right up. Also, if I stick it in my other unibody macbook, it boots up just fine.
So it seems the problem only exists when it's the internal drive of my macbook pro (10.5.6, all software up to date). I've tried resetting the PRAM and resetting the SMC, to no avail.
About the SSD:
* The SSD is still firmware 1199, as I haven't upgraded yet - but I don't imagine this is the problem since many others here seem to be running 1199 just fine.
* I formatted as HFS+ (GUID) and then restored my data onto it using SuperDuper. The fact that it boots in the macbook & over USB indicates that the drive is set up fine.
Any ideas out there are much appreciated!

Graphics card not recognized by Windows

My Mac Pro has its original nVidia 7300 and an upgraded nVidia 8800GT. A game compatibility problem suggested it was time to update the graphics drivers. Everything was working OK until I went to update the nVidia/WindowsXP driver. The Windows Device Manager only sees the 7300, and not the 8800GT. Seems odd, since the display was plugged into the 8800GT, and it worked OK except for the game. However, since Device Manager did not recognize the 8800GT, I could not update its driver. I did upgrade the 7300 driver and this fixed the compatibility problem when I moved the display to the 7300 port.
I'd like to use the better performance of the 8800GT, but Windows doesn't see it and therefore I can't procede with the upgrade. Is it possible to use this card with Windows?

Which drivers are you trying to use? the 7300 may not be compatible with the latest, and you need to use Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode to properly update graphics drivers (I saw 3DMark06 go from 5000 to 8000 as a result).

HELP!!! Graphics Card Not Recognized in Windows 7

Hey all,
I'm running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate on my 11.6" MacBook Air (Stats Below) and for a while every once in a while I would have to reboot Windows 7 to get it to recognize the GPU. Now it won't recognize it at all and I can only get up to 1024x768 resolution. It works fine in Snow Leopard and shows up in the Windows Performance Information, but has the 320M's memory listed as Zero Megabytes. Has anyone encountered this; does anyone have a solution? Can I use the drivers Nvidia provides on their website to update?

This worked like a charm for me, thank you. I have this problem on a fairly regular basis, and have various theories about how to prevent it... mainly that you have to unplug all your external USB devices and ethernet connection before shutting down your system... which seems to work a lot of the time, but not all the time, plus I forget to do this piece of "magic" reasonably often - and it might actually just be wrong, but it seems to have descreased the frequency of the problem. Usually just re-installing Bootcamp over the top of itself solves the problem, sometimes not, at which picking a recent System Restore point usually does the trick... but this last time neither of those solutions worked. Uninstalling the driver and rebooting worked!! Smart, should have thought of that myself a long time ago. Thanks again!!

Email invites not recognized since Mavericks update

Hi!
I updated my Mac Mini server to 10.9.2 and OS X server to 3.1.
Since the update the calendar server is having issues sending out proper email invites.
For example when sending invites to someone who uses Outlook / Exchange, they are not able anymore to directly accept the invite. The .ics file is named as: "not supported calendar message.ics
This seems to happen on multiple Exchange servers. We can open the ics file and accept it, but the ical server doesnt seem to recognize the answer. I made sure the answer was in the mailbox thats being used by the ical server
We setup the server to use a gmail account for monitoring email invites.
The ics files generated by the ical server are containing much less lines that before the update:

Mavericks update, MacBook Pro, short cut buttons not functioning to

After recently installing the OSX mavericks 10.9.3 the shortcut buttons at the top of my keyboard are either not working or are not functioning with the correct button. I checked through the system preferences and found nothing to help me. What can I do to get the short cut buttons to work?

Did you try syst prefes/keyboard restore defailts?
Try SMC reset;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Follow a bttery you should not remove yourself
PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Try a sfe boot:
Power off, power on holding the SHIFT key, continue to hold till you see the progress BAR, then release and allow to finish booting (this will take longer than a regular boot) after it boots shut down and boot normal.

Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier. iCloud came out in 10.7. So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud. You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
HTH.
