am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

Mark,
Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.

Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?

Yes. You should be fine with Snow Leopard, but Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. If you upgrade to Lion I would first upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GBs if your model supports it. Also, see:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Lightroom 5 with a 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor?

I just bought and installed LR5 and it is not importing or even opening folders of images on my hard drive. I have a MacBook with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and I see on the packaging that the software requires a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support. I am not sure if this is the problem. I otherwise meet all the requirements.
Can someone help?

I think you are right at the minimum specs.... but you should still be able to oprate even at a slow spped.
How are you trying to import and please don't have threads /post in different forums and with similar questions. It wastes a lot of time reading the same/similar things over and over.
We'll sort you out ok though!!

Doe's the reconfigured mac mini with the 3.0GHz Dual Core i7, with 3.5GHz Turbo Boost, run at 7200 rpm?

Hello there.
Doe's the reconfigured mac mini with the fourth generation 3.0 GHz Dual Core i7 with 3.5GHz Turbo Boost, with 1TB Fusion Drive, run at 7200rpm?
Thanks.

Historically Apple have generally used 5400rpm hard disk drives and while the detailed information on the Apple store does not definitively say what speed hard disk the 1TB Fusion drive includes, it does make mention of testing conducted with a 5400rpm drive.
Therefore I think we can safely assume it does come with a 5400rpm 1TB hard disk. However this is not necessarily as bad as it sounds, the whole point of a Fusion drive is to automatically off-load the most commonly used files to the much faster 128GB SSD portion of the Fusion drive so overall you should get performance better than even a 7200rpm hard disk.
Finally, as far as I can see for the Mac mini it does not matter which speed model you buy they will all come with the same 1TB drive model if you chose a 1TB capacity, so the 3.0GHz Dual Core i7, 2.8GHz Dual Core i7, and 2.6GHz Dual Core i5 will all have a 5400rpm 1TB hard disk.

Can't burn at 8x DVD-R with superdrive on new dual core G5

I just recently bought a dual Power Mac G5. It's a great computer but the problem I'm having is that my superdrive won't burn DVD-R faster than 4x. I'm using Toast 6.1.1 and TDK discs. I did a search and it seems that others are having similar issues, so I wanted to know if Apple is doing something about this or if there currently is a fix?
I really don't like the idea of wasting money in buying several different DVD brands and finding the one that burns at 8x. The TDKs burn perfectly at 8x on my dad's PC and I've never really had problems with TDKs before so I'm thinking it's an issue with the superdrive.
Anyone else having problems burning at 8x with the new superdrives? I feel a little ripped off because I paid for an 16x burner. I haven't even tried 16x because I'm trying to finish off my stack of 8x DVDs, but since it can't burn at 8x I'm not getting my hopes up.
Dual 2.0 Power Mac G5, PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Yes, I refuse to buy Apple's DVD because it cost so much. Even if it worked on my computer, it wouldn't be worth the price to use 8x
FYI Apple has been using Maxell as the manufacture for all their DVDs for some time. You get the exact same disc with the Maxell Gold Metal label, made in Japan. The Gold Metal labels can be manufactured in either Japan or Tiawan (which are Ridata). Check the UPC code. It clearly states the country.
I have had fantastic results with the Ridata (Taiwan) ones and I use them exclusively for projects going out to customers. I have had zero returns on them.
I just recently saw 8x Ridata discs on for $19 CDN for a pack of 50, so they are considerably cheaper than the Apple branded discs. Maxells I have gotten for as little as $8 CDN for a pack of 25.
One other thing, I seem to remember (can't remember where or when) that you need Toast 7 on the G5 for proper functioning. I did not see anyone say they were using Toast 7, just 6.1.1. I know I had a lot of problems before upgrading to v7. The upgrade may make the difference. I checked the Roxio forums, and could find nothing there. If you are lucky, they may give some assistance if you have registered your copy.
Again, sorry I can not be of more help.
If you are still on Apple care, I would call them as well as checking in here. You may get lucky.
Good Luck,
Gary
Dual G5 2.5 GHz Dual Core, 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.3)

A suggestion for those with freezing dual-core 2.3 G5s (and maybe others)

I'm on my second dual-core 2.3 that's showing the random instability that many others are describing on the boards. To summarize:
- The kernel panic screen usually (but not always) appears.
- Within 10-20 seconds of the crash, fans come on full bore.
- Nothing of substance is recorded in the logs (at least not that I've found).
- Problem occurs with stock RAM as well as 3rd party modules.
- Crashes usually occur soon after a period of steady processor activity (playing large QuickTime movies, transferring files over the network, etc.)
- Problem exists under both 10.4.3 and 10.4.4.
- Apple's hardware test reports everything's fine.
- I've never been able to keep the machines up for longer than 3 days.
So I decided to give something a try that I happened to see in one of the many posts on the topic. In the Energy Saver pane, I've set Processor Performance from Automatic to Highest. And guess what? I've been doing all the same stuff I've always done, and haven't crashed for 6 days!
Just curious if others with similar symptoms have success with this...
Troy

Troy:
I've been using my PM dual core 2.3 GHz hard since November with nary a problem. I usually keep the Energy option at Automatic, unless I'm going to be running heavy-CPU database processes, when I set the CPU to Highest.
And I do watch movies fairly often on the 2.3.
I always use Software Update for OS and Security updates. I've been updating my Macs for years this way, and haven't seen a kernel panic since OS X 1.0. Permissions repair is always run before and after updates.
Cocktail and DiskWarrior are run periodically for maintenance. I probably run Cocktail every week or so, and DiskWarrior every few weeks just as preventive measures.
Knock on wood, this has been a very stable computer.

I use a 2003 FW800 MDD desktop, with dual 1.25 GHz processors, and OS10.4.11, and with native Bluetooth card, won't recognize a newer Bluetooth Headphone set as an Input or Output device in System Preferences

I use a Mac 2003 FW800 MDD desktop with dual 1.25 GHz processors, 2 GB memory, and a native Bluetooth card installed. I use OS10.4.11. The FW800 was the only MDD that could use Bluetooth natively, as an optional installation. I use the installed Bluetooth to run an Apple Aluminum Keyboard, and would like to use it with a new (2010) Samsung SBH-600 Bluetooth Headphone set, but, although the set will pair with the computer, and is recognized in both the System Profiler, and the Bluetooth section of System Preferences, it is not recognized in the Sound preferences section of System Preferences as either an Input or Output device. Only the installed external Apple speakers are recognized. I'd like to know if there is anything that can be done to make the Bluetooth system installed work with these headphones - either something that can be changed in the computer settings, or an added external Bluetooth device with different Bluetooth capabilities.

It it may be that you are running either an outdated BT software or the firmware of the card is not up to date.
What version is your BT software? Is it later than 1.5?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1209
Firmware:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL354
Along with the firmware, it is likely that the headphones require a later BT revision than you are running. The headphones need rev.2.
You may need to move to Leopard for support.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL889
It also may be that headphone support is limited to iChat or the like in Tiger.....
If you go to a USB BT dongle, D-Link often gets the nod as having native compatibility in OS X.

Logic 8 on Macbook Pro - fully loaded with 4 Gig rams - how does it run?

Wondering what people's experiences using Logic 8 on a Macbook Pro are. I haven't bought one yet and deciding between the laptop and the Mac Pro tower. I play to only be recording one instrument at a time, primarily guitar and bass. Then using a lot of virtual synths for the other insutrements.
Is a fully loaded Macbook Pro sufficient for several tracks of virtual synths and effects (reverb etc.) for mixing etc?
Any experiences would be very helpful prior to my purchase. I'd love to get the laptop but want to make sure it'll be sufficient for my needs.

Should be fine - I can do much more than that on my 2.0Ghz Macbook with 2G of RAM.

AE CS3 hanging on exit on I7 system with 12 gigs ram

I've been running CS3 on a single core XP system fine up to now, but recently purchased an Win7 I7 system with 12 gigs of ram, and moved my CS3 suite to it.
On a new,clean install, on a new clean system, AE CS3 is always hanging when I exit the program, with no indication of what is wrong, or chance to do anything. I just get a busy cursor that never goes away, and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL it to get any options to terminate the program.
Wondering how I can fix that. Keep in mind I'm on CS3, so please dont' suggest patches/updates intended for CS4.
If it's relevant, I am using OpenGL, and Render Mutiple Frames.... and I really hope I don't have to shut those off as a 'solution', as that would defeat the purpose of purchasing this new system.
Hope someone here can help. Thanks...

Yes, it still hangs, every time I exit AfterEffects. Didn't do this on the other system, but it happens every time on the new Win7 system.
Here's what Windows tells me when I CTRL+ALT+DEL it...

Are there any settings I could/should change?

DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

Hello guys, freshblood is here,
I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort. core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

I agree. The BIOS gives you better control with better options.
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 26-January-09, 02:14:05
Dumb MSI Dual Core Center. It is not the best tool ever developed. Use the BIOS for overclocking your system.

Euhhh New black Zen Micro with PINK LCD ?????? and windows unable to detect my mp3 play

please help me,the lcd is supose to be blue!
and i installed the 2 options on the cd and windows dont detect my mp3 players !
pls help thx

DM wrote:
The Micro can support pretty much any type of encoding and bit rate used in an MP3 file. However using a non-standard format (standard ones would be: 28, 60, 92, 320, etc...), may result in it not having the ability to transfer. VBR or CBR encoding techniques are supported using whatever encoder you like such as LAME.
If the file was not tagged properly then that could be a reason why WMP is refusing to transfer it, because if it was transfered then there is a risk that the player will have a hard time reading it and therefore freeze. Its just a precaution WMP might take, although I'm not certian on this eventhough it does seem logical that WMP is programmed to do this.
If its a WMA file then thats different, as the Micro does not support the Lossless encoding. And if you dont have the PFS firmware, you do but just mentioning, then it will also not support subscription songs.
Perhaps WMP itself isn't working correctly and needs an update? Check to see if any updates are available via the player itself and Windows Update.
If you can provide the techincal details of the songs that would be nice
Thanks DM for the answer, but as I wrote. There was a problem with my playlists, nothing to do with the player.
Cheers,
Jorge.

Buying a used Mac with CS6 installed. What are requirements of buyer and seller?

I want to be sure the transfer is completely legal and that seller can't deactivate CS6 after I purchase.

Problems with Boot Camp, OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and Windows 7

My new Mac Mini Server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.3. I want to install Windows 7 as a dual boot. I start up Boot Camp and use an ISO image to create a USB boot disk. I don't seem to be able to use the DVD to install, so I use an ISO image on disk. I continue with the Boot Camp installation, with all three options on the main screen checked. When I get to the part where I have to pick a partition on which to install, the only one I can select, and must format, is the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. But the Boot Camp support software Windows is installed there. I can continue with the Windows installation, and boot into Windows 7 with no problem. But since the Boot Camp drivers were wiped out, I cannot connect to the network, etc. I don't have a Boot Camp control panel either.I did this once before on my other Mac Mini Server I have, running the same OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and it worked without a problem. I'm writing this message on that copy of Windows. But this new install just will not work, after two days of trying. I *must* get this working. I'm stumped.
CAN ANYONE HELP ??? TIA !!!!

First, this is re-post of your other thread.
Your driverrs were not and will not be "wiped out."
Run Boot Camp Assistant. Download the drivers
Your profile says Lion so that will let you store drivers on flash memory card.
They are never placed where Boot Camp created a partition.
