Has anyone installed WD Raptor, 10000RPM drive into iMac?

I've read some reviews and it appears to run only a little bit hotter than 7200, so it shouldn't be a problem should it?
Thanks,
Marek

The G5 iMacs have a tendency to overheat, make sure that you vacuum the inside and the air vents regularly and keep the area where the computer is kept well ventilated and you should be ok.

Has anyone installed the D5259a M70 driver in XP? MS gives warning that it is not logo'd.

I'm looking at installing a D5259a M70 driver on a Lenovo T60 laptop as a temporary fix. When I get to the end I get a warning from XP that the driver has not passed compatibility testing and could destabilize the system. I've only found the one driver so far so would like to know that this has been done before with no ill effects. Thx.

Well, well, well... Nothing has changed. Somehow or another Adobe has managed to truly take control of Windows 7.
I updated Bridge or more correctly... The Cloud did and every files extension in Bridge had 'none' as the application. Lovely stuff. Now All I want to know is why did Adobe take control of Windows file manager and cause this much grief?
I almost never use the clunky and often impossible to manage Bridge. Simple freeware... Irfanview is way more elegant than Bridge and 10 times more useful IMO.
Well thanks for the heads up Curt. I never considered the full implication of giving Adobe the freedom to add and remove whatever they wanted to... Forget the don't fix what isnt broken thing... Just pour everything we've got in the cloud onto all the members PCs, eh? Hard drives are cheap and hey, what are forums for when things go wrong if it isn't to keep Adobe informed of bugs they can silently fix and pour 'em back into the cloud as fixes.
Ha,ha you just gotta love progress eh?
This is really going to take on. I can see it now... For every mess up of a PC -- "THE CLOUD DID IT"!!!

Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro?

Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro currently running a 160 GB Hard Drive?

It depends upon exactly what you want to do with your Mac. My old Late 2007 17" MacBook Pro only has 4GB RAM and it works fine. It is a little slow if I am doing anything involving heavy computing (rendering video, compiling programs, etc.) but it works just fine. In most cases, the increased RAM will help performance, but the cost can be fairly high with an older machine like you have.

Is it possible to install a 7200 rpm drive into a Macbook running a 5400?

Is it possible to install a 7200 rpm drive into a Macbook running a 5400 rpm drive? And if so does anyone know what brand of drive is stock in the Macbook? What is a good brand? Seagate? Hitachi? Western?

And if so does anyone know what brand of drive is stock in the Macbook?
The 250GB drive in my new aluminum MacBook was a Fujitsu. I replaced it with a 500GB Samsung since I was more interested in space than speed.

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

Has anyone been successful importing h.264 into Encore?

First, my system and goal:
A MacPro with 2.66mHz dual core and 12 gigs of RAM.
Multi Terrabytes of space.
I shoot on a Panasonic HVX-200, edit in Final Cut Pro and output Quicktime files as the basis for rendering to DVD and Blu-ray. I shot this stuff in 1080i. The camera codec is DVCPROHD and that is what I output to also.
I am trying to burn Blu-ray discs. I have an external Pioneer BDR-203 Blu-ray burner and it works fine.
I have done my tests and have decided that for Blu-ray, h.264 is far superior to mpeg2 in look and file size so I am sticking with it.
Here is the issue (and I have scoured this forum area and found no one discussing or solving this issue to date):
I have made hundreds of different DVDs with DVDStudioPro and am very familiar with it. Not to get off on a tangent but my beloved Apple has decided to betray me by not supporting Blu-ray (the ONLY way to output HD for us independents) so I studied up on Encore and have been using it to format my latest project to HD. The interface works pretty nice and even has some superiority to DVDSP but you have to have the patience of JOB to see your results. 5 Day (Remember. That's 24 Hour Days) Rendering is my tops so far. (OK. Full Disclosure... the documentary is 3 hours and 15 minutes long BUT DVDStudioPro took the same Quicktime files and crunched them down to mpeg2 for the DVD in about a day) Anyway about 6 days ago I had a 3 day render session that crapped out on me as it was finally recording to disc. For some reason it didn't like the BD-RE disc I had in the machine and just bagged the whole process. When I put in a new disc it just started rendering All Over Again. After that debacle I gave up on that method and now am rendering to BDMV folders which I then burn to disc using Toast. (While I am writing this my fingers are crossed that it will make it to the end - it's been another 3 days...)
I provide the details above to show why I am more than dismayed that I cannot figure any way to import h.264 files INTO Encore from another renderer. Either Compressor or Encoder render much faster than Encore. So I have tried render my project to a variety of output types from both Apple's Compressor and Adobe's Encoder with no joy any way I try.
(as a side note I am also dismayed that when I made a change to a MENU, Encore decided to encode The Whole Project Again rather than just the menu part...)
One of my latest file testing adventures was based on a theory that the problem has to do with DVCPROHD recording to 1280 x 1080 anamorphic rather than 1440 x 1080 (the "expected" frame size for 1080i). I fooled with that a half day but could not get either renderer to generate any test material from my FCP output that Encore would burn without re-rendering. By that I mean I cajoled and tricked Compressor and Encoder to output 1920 x 1080 files; 1440 x 1080 files and 1280 x 1080 files (all h.264) to see if Encore would recognize any of them without re-rendering them. No Luck.
So. Has anyone had success importing h.264 into CS4Encore from anywhere (but particularly using the same or similar gear I am using)? The Encore literature really doesn't give you much to go oon.
Lately I am very inclined to think the problem has something to do with this 1280 x 1080 DVCPROHD issue but I can't say for sure. I offer that as a suggestion if anyone else with a similar production stream is having the same problem and maybe it will trip a switch in their mind for a solution.
I like the Encore interface and design possibilities you have by swinging back and forth from PShop and After Effects but using Encore's renderer is like Chinese Water Torture.
Thanks for your help.

Brian,
I got your test file into Encore and got Encore to show its Blu-ray transcode status as "Don't Transcode".

Best way to install a new hard drive into a laptop?

what's the proper way to install a new hard drive into a laptop? i've heard that cloning can result in very slow boot up and shut down times, and that the proper method is install the new hard drive, install OSX, and restore data from time machine. comments? thanks very much

Cloning doesn't cause the resulting system to slow down in and of itself, but it does retain any previous problems, which can build up over time and result in poor performance. (The same can be said of installing new system versions on top of old versions.)
A clean OS X installation will give you a clean base to start from. Mass-restoring data and applications will undo some of that benefit, but by no means all.

Has anyone installed Lion on mid-2007 MacBook?

I have a mid-2007 MacBook that I have not yet installed Lion on. Has anyone installed it on a similar MacBook? If so, how does it run?
I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, so I am familar with it. I am just curious if it will be really slow on the MacBook.
Thanks.
Thom

I think it depends on what you need to do with the computer. I have a 2007 black macbook with 4gb ram. Most stuff works ok, although everything is noticeably slower. But some stuff, Aperture in particular, barely work at all - aperture is almost unuseably slow. So be forewarned! And please, don't believe anyone who says it'll run just as well as snow leopard - it doesn't.

Has anyone installed 9i for Solaris8(for SPARC) on Solaris8- X86 (for Intel)

Has anyone installed 9i (9.0.1.1) on solaris8-X86 (intel). I know it is not available on the Oracle website for download. I was wondering if anyone has tried installing the sparc version on Intel.
I have done the same for 8i but don't know if it can be done for 9i.
Thanks

I know this seems silly, but an "eval" version of 9i for Solaris Intel was available from the Oracle Store for the cost of the media. I have also found when I went from Solaris 8 10/01 to Solaris 8 02/02 that 9i came with the OS for the Sparc. I haven't upgraded my Intel boxes yet so I don't know if the same trick applies!
Not quite what you asked, but....

Has anyone installed the GIMP?

Has anyone installed the GIMP on their iBook? I have a couple questions because of the way their site is worded:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
In the requirements section are they just explaining why it doens't run on version 9 or earlier? It almost makes it sound like you have to go download that stuff (which is why I feel stupid for asking this). :-/
This site, http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ , which is the first site they list on the places to get GIMP, makes it sound like the application there is all you have to download, except for the extra install from the OS X Install Disk. Would that be all I needed?
I'd love to have this program on my iBook, so if anyone who has installed it could walk me through it, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
I myself have not tried GIMP.app because I have lost the urge to use X11. In order to use it, you will to download X11 from your OS X disk and install X11; not to be confused with X11SDK. I bet you can find a bunch of GIMP and X11 users in Mac OS X Technologies > Unix forum.
You may want to look at this previous post.

Has anyone installed the new firmware?

Has anyone installed the new firmware yet? And have you noticed any issues with it? I'm weary of installing Apple's firmware updates after how terrible the last one was (I'm sure everyone remembers the hdd hangs). Also, Apple's trackpad update was terrible as well for the first few weeks it was out.

Because I was one of the users affected last time.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10416721#10416721
Not just a tiny amount of people. Lots of people had this issue. Firmware downgrade is what solved it, until Apple released an upgrade of the upgrade. I just wanted to check if anyone was having issues with this firmware before I upgraded.
And I'm not sure why people are getting so offended. It's a simple question of "did upgrading to the new firmware screw up your computer", and requires a yes or a no answer. The last two times I installed an update it messed with my computer, so it makes sense for me to be weary. You would be as well if you were in the same situation. And I have not yet heard anything about this firmware, but I haven't had time to check out what people have said. I'm in med school and I'm usually fairly busy.

Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?
a VXI instrument through a PCI-VXI-8335 card (in the PC) talking to a PCI-VXI-8345 card (in the VXI chassis) via MXI-3, Has anyone created a PCI-VXI-8335 card driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

Now i want develop driver on RTX,my hard platform is similiar(PCI8335+VXI8340+1418A),and after i read the PCI baseaddress,i find PCI8335 only has memory-map,so that means if i want to driver this board ,so i take following steps list below:
1.use Rtmapmemory() to map the baseaddress to virtual address
2.using memset() or memcpy() to driver the 1418A board
is this right?
if you can give me some hints,thanks
or you can contact me :[email protected]
