Look at what is happenning with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage. You should have some free memory.
When you have lots of page outs more memory will be helpful. My entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
Page ins/outs: 29163/0
Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space. Thus, I have enough memory.
Activity Monitor has a neat feature where it can display a dynamic dock icon. In Activity Monitor View > Dock icon > Show cpu history.

New 2nd Mac Pro boot drive (ssd) how do I know which is booted?

   Both boot drives are Leopard. Also how do I switch between them safely? Is this do-able w/o restarting? The restart surprised me and I damaged one, maybe more older externals, so I'm gunshy about moving ahead... Need conceptual and practical help.
   My original boot drive is in pre-fail status (according to OWC software), so I want to use the new ssd rather than risk the old boot drive to back-up everything - system, Time Machine and photos - to a partitioned new 4Tb ext'l drive... I assume I should be able to do this with the SSD and then retire my orig'l boot dr?... Does this make sense? Many thanks...

OK, this is good to get cleared up, and helps sharpen my question: What are the actions that jeapordize external drives in cases like this? I can guess a few: pulling out the firewire/usb etc cable while they are mounted and the computer is on? Or, If they are powered, switching them off or pulling the plug out of the electric outlet before ejecting?
   There must be others because I didn't do either of these before getting the message that the drive was improperly disconnected and was likely damaged. I did perform "command-option-eject" just before getting the above warning message (I actually was told to do that command at the Genius Bar in order to switch boot drives ) but perhaps there was more I was supposed to do but forgot...Can you think of others - why I screwed up so badly? It keaves me so hesitant and worried around this beautiful machine....?

Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.

I purchased Premiere Elements 13. Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system. I have Elements 12 and never had this problem.

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 & Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system. I have Elements 12 and never had this problem. What are my options? Do you have a compatible program for WinVista similar to Premiere Element?

deniseu
This is not Adobe. Please do not duplicate threads. I have answered one of at least 3 of your threads currently appearing at the top of the list of threads in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum tonight. Please see
I purchased Premiere Elements 13 and it is not compatible to Win Vista which is my operating system. What are my options?
New to Premiere Elements 13....it does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, and OSX 10.7.
Also see

In your other thread which I have cited above, I have posted a list of choices ahead of you. There is no workaround to get Premiere Elements 13 to support Vista, XP, or OSX 10.7 that has ever surfaced.

The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?

On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?
I will attach a recent screen shot of a print window I opened and the extra code is above and below the window. There are matrix type blocks of code and then lines under the window. I get this all the time and it is getting worse.
Any help to get rid of it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.
