Help! MacBook Air Nvidia Graphics 256 uninstall failure to boot up! Help Please!

Hello, I have a 2011 MacBook air with an Nvidia Graphics Geforce of some sortI was trying to install fallout 1 on the computer, but it said I need to uninstall the Nvidia 256 graphics updatethe thing did not turn on. Status bar on, then says panic on the screen along with the word kernel and a bunch of numbers. Then it says to restart computer everytime I turn it on. It says things like "panic", ( 4 potential arts on stack), kernel version: Darwin kernel version 10.8.0, and debugger called Panic. Is there any possible way to turn it back on? Tried plugging in the reinstall drive and holding down D, nothing, holding down C with reinstall drive, nothing. I need to know how to boot it back up without reinstalling Mac OS! Thanks!

Can I change my Macbook Air's Graphics card?

Hello, I'm having a problem with my Macbook Air's graphics card. When i open After Effects CC, it says that i need an approved NVIDIA Graphics. That in other means, should I change my Macbook Air's graphics card? Even some programs requires me an NVidia Graphics or ATI graphics to render the media. This annoys me a lot as i can't render the media out the software!
So, is there any possible way i can customise my Macbook Air's Graphics by changing it or some sort?
Service it? Pay it? Ask the iBox store? Dismantle it myself? Please help!!
Product: Macbook Air (128 GB)
Operating System: OSX Mavericks 10.9.4
Processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Graphics: Intel HD 5000 -----------> Needs to be changed!!!
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Thanks afterwards! =D

Hi.
Macbook Airs only handle integrated graphics card, and there is no slot on the Motherboard to add one. If you want a discrete graphics card, to use with professional software, you need to go towards an iMac, Mac Pro or 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina. If you do not want to buy a new machine, you could get an older second hand Macbook Pro with a discrete graphics card.
The Macbook air isn't built to use this kind of software.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
James

It is really not relevant what you buy; especially with electronics, your item is "outdated" as soon as you get it home because there will always be a newer, bigger, better things out there.
Does your machine no longer do what you need it to do? If so, sell it, and buy a new one. If it does what you need, then keep it and work with it.
Apple allows for returns within the first 14 days; you can try going to a store and seeing if they will make an exception, but I would not expect it.

Safari on MacBook Air showing graphics in 16-bit colour

Hi all,
On my MacBook Air system, graphics that appear in Safari show up as this (here's a small sample):
In particular, look at the mirroring under the image... it's streaky, indicative of 32-bit-to-16-bit colour conversion.
Is there a setting on Safari that can force it to display graphics in 32-bit colour? The MacBook Air's Display settings don't offer anything with regards to setting a display depth:
Any technical details about this issue would be most welcome! It's not a problem for me, but it is noticable in some Web pages.
Incidentally, Firefox 8 also does this too, but running apps like OmniGraffle Pro:
shows good colour graphics (32-bit).
Is this something that the graphics controller is doing?! For Safari and Firefox to use different rendering engines and produce the same results in rendering images with 16-bit graphics is rather perplexing!
Or... is this Lion's doing?! I am running Safari 5.1.2 and Firefox 8.0.1 on Lion 10.7.2.
Cheers!

I finally found what was going on with my MacBook Air... turns out it has nothing to do with the machine at all. Instead it was because I was using a 3G connection in order to get to the Internet.
My mobile phone provider was using a proxy server which reduced the size of images by re-rendering them on the fly in order to reduce bandwidth on the 3G network! So all those graphics artifacts were caused by my mobile phone provider!
If my MacBook Air uses another Internet connection (like WiFi) on another provider, the problem disappears!

I cannot sync Xerox M138 Printer with my Macbook Air. Printing is paused and does not resume. Please Help.

I FIXED IT MYSELF.
I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
And then I did.
And after 15 minutes, it worked!
Self-solved problem!

Updated software on Macbook Air and bootcamp partition disappeared. Windows boot option no longer appears. Can I get it back and the data?

Updated software on Macbook Air and bootcamp partition disappeared. Windows boot option no longer appears. Can I get it back and the data?

Amy, is there a chance they could both be Syncing to another device that has the data erased?
What are the sizes & modification dates on the files you found?
Could be many things, we should start with this to be safe, though 2 different ones would seem unlikely to be this problem...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

MacBook Air/nvidia GeForce9400M/driver issue font installation fails on xp

xp sp3 on a MacBook Air (bought 04-2009, 2x 1,86 GHz, 128 GB SSD) fails to install otf type fonts with an error message. Also Adobe Photoshop 10 (CS3) will crash upon trying to insert writing into a jpeg, tif, psd etc.
Source of problem: The nvidia graphic driver needs some more memory allocation than xp expects.
Remedy: open the registry editor (START>RUN>regedit)
navigate to the following key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement
add a new REG_DWORD Value
change the name of the value to
SessionImageSize
set its value (decimal) to
20
reboot
-- this problem would only seem to affect xp sp3 systems with nvidia graphics
-- be sure to backup your registry before changing it and
be sure to know what you are doing before editing the registry
Apparently this problem has been recognized by nvidia and implemented in their latest driver release. This is not suited, however, for Apple products, since they have further customized the nvidia driver (and apparently NOT included this fix!).
The fix will resolve the problems mentioned above with installing otf type fonts and inserting writing into pics in photoshop. Photoshop, however, continues to crash upon exiting, an issue not yet resolved.

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.

2013 MacBook Air for graphic design?

I've been looking at the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air for quite some time now. I'm a graphic designer, so I'll be looking to use Adobe CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat) and Aperture. Also of course, the general things such as Safari, Mail and iPhoto.
I have the new 27-inch iMac at home, which serves as my main machine. 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz, 32GB RAM (8GB at the moment - upgrading soon), 1TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX with 1GB. I love it!
I absoloutely love the MacBook Air - it's a lovely design, so lightweight and the new 12 hour battery life is just epic!
If I were to get the MacBook Air, I would definite upgrade to these specs;
- 1.7GHz dual core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz (although I'm told the i7 will drain battery quicker, and isn't much faster?)
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB Flash Storage (or possibly 256GB - bare in mind, I have a 1TB external hard drive).
So I guess the big question is... Will the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air, with these specs, be sufficient for my needs?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The problem of the MacBook Air is the GPU, and Adobe apps don't support the GPU of your MacBook officially because it's an integrated GPU.
Sincerely, if you want to use that type of applications, the only valid Mac is the 15-inch MacBook Pro. It includes a quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM (with the possibility to add up to 16 GB), a 500 GB HDD (with possibilities for bigger HDDs and SSDs) and a NVIDIA GPU which will work with your applications without any problem. Also, you can modify the RAM and hard drive without voiding the warranty.
If you want to give the MacBook Air a try, buy it and see if your applications work properly. You have 14 days to return it if it doesn't work as you expected, but to be sure, go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is designed for home tasks

Can my MacBook Air play graphic-intensive games?

So i'm getting MacBook Air in 2 months, and i was wondering. Can my MacBook Air play some graphic intensive games? I'm thinking of playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn or maybe XCOM and other games, Will i suffer occasional lag? Will the MacBook overheat? I opted for the 13-inch, Dual-core intel i5, 4GB RAM, intel HD 5000 Graphics and 128GB of storage. I'm planning to use this MacBook as my Daily Driver for computing, and that includes gaming. Any advice would help me greatly, thank you.

And eGPU is an external graphics card.
By the way a graphics card is the part of a computer that figures out how to display something on a screen. For example, if your character throws a ball, the graphics card figures out how fast the ball should move and how to display it. Your MacBook Air doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, it just has a processor which is capable of functioning as a modest graphics card.
The fourth generation Vidock is an external graphics card enclosure. It allows you to connect a desktop graphics card such as GT 640, GTX 650 or Radeon 7970 graphics cards. The 4th generation Vidock will connect to your Mac through Thunderbolt.
No, I don't have a link where you can pre-order. So far, they don't have pre-ordering. They haven't released it yet, but they'll release it sometime in the summer. They haven't even got much information about it on the Villagetronic website. But here's a link so you can check it out: http://www.villagetronic.com/g4/product-lines
There are a bunch of them, but I'm not sure which one is the one with Thunderbolt and will cost $100. I guess we'll all have to wait until they release it this summer.

MacBook Pro (nvidia graphics)

How do you connect a macbook pro with nvidia graphic cards to a projector. I was told to get this computer by the Mac-guy and now I'm doubting he was right.
What way can you hook up a mac to a projector.

In that case you will need the mini display port to VGA adaptor, like this one and a standard VGA cable to go to your projector (assuming that is the sort of interface the projector has - most projectors come with one).
Next question. Are you connecting to it using MacOSX or are you trying to connect through Boot Camp and Windows? If it is the later then you will also need to download the latest Bootcamp drivers for your version of Windows from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents.

MacBook air 128 or 256 flash storage

Should I go with the MacBook air with 128 or 256 flash storage?

I should just follow Dominic23 around the MacBook Air and post this link everywhere -
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2012
So yes it is possible to upgrade your MacBook Air with a larger SSD if you decide in the future that the current capacity is inadequate.
Without knowing your needs, it's really impossible to determine if the upgrade is necessary. Do you have a lot of media (Music, Movies, Photos) on your current computer? Do you intend to continue to add to this collection? What is your purpose for the machine? How about applications, do you use multimedia applications or application suites that require a significant amount of installation space?

Macbook Air and Graphics Processing

After reading a bunch of posts, it appears that the sluggishness of the Air on graphics could be improved with updated drivers, is this true or am I misunderstaning something.

Well, I just came from a white Macbook from mid 2007 (2.16ghz C2D, 2GB RAM). It had a onboard Intel GMA950, and I'm quite surprised that the X3100 on my MBA is kinda sluggish sometimes and never ever better than my old video, specially regarding animations of the UI on Leopard.
Exposé, Dashboard, the Dock, everything seems a little bit less smooth than before. I wasn't expecting a major bump with the new graphic chipset (although the reports of it being far better on the new Macbooks), but, again, it never best the GMA950.
Not that it's bad at all. However, by the looks of it, I'm totally inclined that some driver update may be coming soon.

MacBook Air 2013: Graphical issues

I'm experience a few graphic gliches on my MacBook Air 2013. There two types of graphical issues:
1. Horizontal stripes for a few seconds
