Help with Halo and Mac Pro Settings (demo)

Hey guys, I have tried several different options in the video section for Halo demo using my Mac pro. My computers specs are :
2.66ghz
2gb rame
ATI x1900.
No matter what I do, I cant get the game to run smoothly. But in XP via bootcamp I can use full settings!
Thanks
Mo

Macs used to use PowerPC processor's (eg G3, G4 and G5's). Apple has switched to Intel processors which are x86 (Core Duo) and x64 (Core 2 Duo). Because the two processor architectures are totally alien to each other Apple created an emulation layer for Intel Macs that will allow programs created for PPC Macs to run, albeit at reduced performance.
New programs are now made as Universal Binary's or UB's which means that it will run at native (read full) speed on both PPC and Intel-based Macs. Some existing programs have patches or updates to make them into a UB. Halo was created when Apple used PPC chips only, and as such the demo is a PPC app. The UB update for Halo only exists for the full retail version, which will run it at full native speeds.
On a side note, I have XP on a partition and I have far more graphical options on the Halo Demo for OS X... Anti-aliasing 4tw!!!1!

Please help with Firewall and/or other Settings to Chat (MSN Messenger).

I've tried to chat on all (I think) the messenger programs available for Mac that use a hotmail account or .net passport - Adium, Fire, Mercury (current) and MSN itself - and I have the same problem with all of them: I keep getting cut off/disconnected from MSN! No problems with Yahoo messenger or Yahoo ID (although it can be a bit slow sometimes), just with .net passport account.
I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with Firewall and/or related settings, but after months of trying to fix it, I'm about to give up... please help!
Currently the following Firewall ports are all open:
6891 – 6900
1863
80
1080
5060, 9000, 9010 (UDP – typed like that)
including:
Personal File Sharing
Windows Sharing
Remote Login - SSH
and Printer Sharing.
In my most recent disconnected conversation, Mercury logged a "socket fired exception" error.
I'm on a broadband/adsl connection, shared with hubby's pc through ethernet (and he never gets disconnected from msn, btw).
ANY suggestions would be welcome, but apart from the above, please tell me how/where to find what you tell me to look at or for, because I'm a new Mac user (six months), and on top of that I'm blonde
Many Thanks!
Mac Mini (PowerMac10,1) Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 with 1 GB DDR SDRAM

Update:
Someone very kindly pointed out that my Firewall is actually Off (probably because I omitted to click on the Start button)... I did say I'm blonde
So now I'm really stumped... anybody got any ideas? Please?

Need help with G4 to Mac Pro Migration!

After buying my 2.66 GHz Mac pro, i followed the instructions as to how to start up the G4 in "Target Disk Mode" for migration. Was completely useless.
Whether clicking the button in the "Startup Disk" prefs, or holding down 'T' and restarting, i got the same results: My G4 system would restart but before anything appeared on the screen, it shut down and stayed.
I've been searching all over these forums and doing a lot of reading and experimentation. It sound like a lot of people aren't having good luck with the migration wizard anyway.
II did finally manage to get the Mac Pro to log onto the G4 with a cross-over cable. But i need to transfer a tremendous amount of data both from my primary account on the G4 and 3 non-boot internal drives.
Having to go through a public folder isn't going to cut it. .MAC isn't either.
Is there some way i can link up the two systems such that i can retrieve what i want from the G4's drives (without spending additional money).

Efforts to make "Target Disk" mode function didn't seem to go anywhere.
I did at last figure out how to get access to disks all disks on my G4 from my Mac Pro, however.
For those who may need to know it required these simple steps:
{1} I connected both systems to a hub (or DSL router in my case) via ethernet. Connecting the two machines with an ethernet crossover cable also worked, but of course my access to the internet was then unavailable.
{2} Opened TCP/IP in Network prefs on both machines and set them up identically according to my ISP's instructions, as always, but with differing IP addresses.
{3} Under the Services tab in Sharing preferences i checked the box to enable "Personal File Sharing"
{4} I then chose Connect to server... {command-K} in the Finder on the Mac Pro and entered the LAN IP address of the G4.
{5} At the login prompt i entered my G4 main account login & password information.
{6} When the window with my G4 system's name came up and asked which disk(s) to mount, i selected all of them and clicked { Ok }.
Presto. The G4 main drive, my 2 disk raid, my 4th disk, and my home directory all popped up on the Mac Pro Desktop.

Need some urgent help // Streaming windows and Mac Pro

HI ,
I have a nice "issue" here.
At present I am in a project.
We save the video images and sound by capture in FCP PRO with Mac Intel. Ans next to that using a Windows PC to stream live to internet.
We send the video by using a converter from analog to digital using S-video in and out Firewire. (from the converter).
After the converter we send the the firewire signal to a belkin hub to distribute to Mac and PC.
Evenrything goes fine. But the MAc responds to the PC and the Mac to the PC . When the PC blocks (the image for streaming) the Mac stops capturing. When I (the Mac) cancel capturing the PC stops streaming
PLease assist if you can .. how to handle. we guess that the hub creates the issues ...
Should we use a more link switch ? like a network switch ?

Our video runs through a video switcher which then outputs the signal to a PC (live streaming) and into a DRS-11 DV deck for recording as well as converting to FW which goes into the Mac for a live capture (redundancy) as well.
<
Yar, you want deal with the VIDEO, not the data stream, which is what you get on FW.
Use a video/audio distribution amplifier to send duplicate versions of your program video and audio content to two or more different encoding/processing systems.
Your boss/clients are not going to understand the technical requirements if they're Web geeks. Try this: If you want two copies of the same book, you don't use a copier. You buy two copies from the printer. You can't use a copier to distribute copies of a book in real time; each page has to be scanned and copied, one at a time, and they have to be collated separately. Anything that interrupts the process, like pulling out the stacks to staple them into, say, chapters (or insert your own metaphor here), causes the copier to stop since it can no longer knows the collation is correct.

Need help with RE1000 and mac filter

Im really happy with the range expander so far but when it comes to mac filtering it doesnt work, i mean, when i able de mac filtering on my E4200_V2 the range expander works nor more as before, why? any reason? does my RE does not support mac filtering?
thanks

First, for MAC filtering please ensure that you have put in the correct MAC address in your router for RE1000.Since the settings on the RE1000 is important to verify and retrieve the wireless settings of your wireless router to match:
•    Wireless Network Name (SSID)
•    Wireless Channel
•    Wireless Security Mode (WPA/WPA2 Personal or WEP)
•    Network Key or Passphrase
Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22045&userrole=Links...

Help with a 2013 Mac Pro kernel panic?

I've been working with Apple Support to nail down a kernal panic without much luck. The machine is shutting down/restarting a few times a day. Hardware test is negative and I've rebuilt Maverick.
I thought it might be a firewire drive that I had connected to a Belkin dock, but it's now disconnected and I'm still getting the restarts.
Here's the latest problem report. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

New to MAC - trying to sync iphone and Mac Pro with imac

Hi,
Just made the switch to Mac. Purchased my Mac Pro yesterday, loaded .Mac, and plugged in my iPhone to the computer. Followed the steps to Sync iCal and contacts from iPhone and although it is registering there is a phone and downloading photos, it is not syncing anything else.
The steps I took were System Preferences, .mac, and checked the relevant boxes. It indicates syncing is taking place but the calendar on iPhone and Mac Pro are not syncing.
Could anyone help with advice? SHould I be able to sync easily between the iPhone and the Mac Pro with .mac?

You use iTunes to sync an iPhone - not *.Mac Sync* or iSync.
*.Mac Sync* is for syncing between Macs, and iSync is for syncing third-party mobile phones and PDAs.
The iPhone specific forums are here:

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcp and Mac

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcpX and Mac with auto settings and ability to override, need to add external mic or 2. Am one person crew so needs to be easy to use.

And check out the Panasonic AG-AC90. Very good specs for a prosumer unit. Everything in the semi-pro area will involve trade offs for sure. Key thing is to study up enough to know what your needs are vs what trade off are involved in the various models. The ag-ac90 trade off (one of them) is diffraction limited sharpness.

HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):

Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

I recently purchased a new Mac Pro and have been trying to back it up on my Time Capsule for the first time. However, it says there is no available disk space. This time capsule was used with my old Mac Pro that had a Home vault open on it.

The time capsule was used with my prior Mac Pro laptop that unfortunately had the home vault active on it.
My new Mac Book Pro does not have home vault open. But I am unable to back up my new MAC pro laptop because it says there is not enough storage space available. Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
When I go into the time capsule - it shows me NOTHING as being in the backup datas. So, I don't know where to begin to delete all the old data off the
time Capsule and start with a completely empty machine.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

Premiere CC 2014 and Mac Pro (late 2013) are incompatible

It's been 3 months now that I'm struggling with this incompatibility:
Video exports crashing, horizontal lines, overheat GPU,
Both support services Adobe and Mac told me to call the other company for support.
Adobe told me on phone that the latest release of CC2014 would have fixed the problem: LIE
It might be time to make the announcement from both companies to say that Creative Cloud is incompatible with the new mac pro.

I urgently need to know how I can connect 8 thunderbolt display, I was thinking with the new mac pro will come out, but I wonder if it is possible to connect an iMac to 4GB of graphics card, but suffers from the imac. thanks

I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

Logic Pro / Protools - G5 and Mac Pro?

I have a G5 with 8Gb (so still an ok machine) with many VST's and EW library through Kompakt player etc... this also runs Logic 8.02 and Ableton 7 well on Tiger 10.4.11
I have now just bought a Mac Pro 3.0Ghz with 10Gb and Protools HD, on Leopard 10.5.5 also with a few AU/VST's and some TDM plug ins running the same Logic 8.02 and Ableton as above...
I should also point out that I have 2 x 20" Cinema Displays..
Now I dont know the best way to connect these if i want to use them together and the best working way of doing this?
I have one set of Keyboard/Mouse and 1 x USB M-Audio Keyboard too - is there a way to share them ?
I was thinking of selling on the G5 and TRY to migrate my libraries to the Mac Pro but i dont think i'll get much for it and it is stable with some good VST's using Tiger.
So I have a few questions! :
1. Whats the best way to connect these to share my 1 keys/mouse and the USB Radium Keyboard? I did try teleport but couldn't get this working after a while and was a bit reluctant with the KVM switch route?
2 - Do I keep the G5 for the sequencing and Logic/Abelton (composing) and use the Mac Pro for Recording/Protools? - Seems a bit of a waste with a 10Gb Mac Pro! but the G5 is stable...
3 - I have been using 2 screens on the G5, but now do I use 1 screen per machine? or is there another utility that I can swap between the two and have 2 screens for whichever machine Im working on??
Sorry for all the questions!
I do think I have sorted a "file share" folder if i go down the 2 machines route whereby I can drop and access files into desktop folders on each machine, and use them on either
Any ideas, thoughts, ?? - just want to get the best of the two machines incase I can't (or decide not) to sell the G5..
Thanks!

Hi,
your question is interesting But I don't want to replay your specific question... There are anthyng wrong in your desire to use 2 Macs... BUT
I have worked on a similar environment in the past...
I'm talking about G4 400 + a Pentium 3 PC with tascam Giga studio...
I suggest to avoid to use 2 computers...
Logic is able to work without Pro Tools...
Pro Tools is obsolete and you are forced to stay on Leopard 10.5.5...
Why?
Logic works on Leopard 10.5.6...
My G5 is faster than ever with Leopard 10.5.6
Logic 8.0.2 is 1000 times more STABLE on Leopard.. (I never get any Logic crash with G% and 10.5.6!!!
I cannot see any reason to work with a G5 and Tiger.. (if you don't need to use Wa**s demo reset, or other crack sh*t stuffs)
I suggest to install 10.5.6 in your G5!
Leopard and Logic comes with Maximum sound quality... Pro Tools is a step Back to the past!...
Just my personal opinion... but I'm not alone about this point!
Using 2 Computers on a Digital studio is a obsolete way to work!
too much problems...
too much time waste for syncing
DOUBLE PERCENTAGE OF bugs, crash, and malfunction
Double percentage to loose your mind, to go crazy... to much distraction... I want stay focused to my composition without problems...
you need to use Remote Desktop
youneed to use Sharing network
you will loose about 50% of CPU power processing.
ON OS X SHARING network must be turned OFF to avoid POPs, Clicks, Audio drops and so ON!
Anyway you are free to testing by yourself...
Good Luck

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!
