I MAC G5 (2005) looking to upgrade for audio/video needs

hi i have had computer for 3 years and just recently it has been on the blink. tried resetting smu , seems to help for a little while. can't handle youtube, call of duty2, garageband, hdvideo06. goes into sleep mode and you hear fan.
i also would like to upgrade this computer the most i can to handle taxing programs like garageband with multiple tracks/fx and video. any info would be great, i know 2g of ram is the most i can add. will that be enough? and what else should i do as well.
thanks

Welcome to Discussions - going into sleep mode is the sign of overheating, it may be a failing power supply unit. How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
Yes, you can add another 2GB of RAM to your iSight, for a total of 2.5GB, which should be more than enough to run your applications. Try using OnyX to clear your caches and free up some memory. The only upgrade you can make to the computer aside from memory is replacing the dive with a larger one, although opening and working inside an iSight can be very tricky, as well as voiding the warranty.

Mac book pro verses iMac(intel)for streaming video

Mac book pro verses iMac (intel) for streaming video (skpying) which one would you recommend?

Neither one is particularly advantageous. Streaming video will take a considerable amount of power, meaning you'll probably want to keep a MBP's power adapter connected.

Power Mac DaulCore 2.3 - USER FEEDBACK FOR AUDIO PLEASE?

Hello everyone,
I'm interested in replacing my Powerbook G4 17" 1.33 model for the new Power Mac DualCore 2.3. I plan on using this in a Pro Audio situation.
(I'm not interested in the Quad model, because of the price and the problems other users are having with Pro Tools LE 7 and other audio apps.).
I would be using the DualCore 2.3 with my existing setup, which consists of the Digi 002, External Firewire drives for Audio, Pro Tools LE7, Live 5, Reason 3, etc.
I'd like to get feedback before I purchase the computer and find out how this computer works with Pro Tools ( amount of RTAS plugins, Audio Tracks, speed, performance etc). As well as how the DualCore is working with the other above mentioned programs.
Being that I'm working in a small environment, I would also like to get feedback on how the computer itself is working (fan noise, noise in general, speed, performance etc.).
I know that the computer hasn't been out for that long, but I'd like to get one of the last, so called PowerMacs before Apple switches to Intel.
I'd like to replace my existing computer in the next few months so that I can get to work.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

hi
i m a audio user to i use DP4.6 and logic with 828 and 869hd interfaces, with protools i use the 002 rack version with protools le the machines that i use are a powermac 2.5 quad, powermac dual2.0 and a powerbook 1.5 15" and i never have a problem of any kind except with the protools le and the 002 rack with the quad 2.5 but with the last update and the last drivers i dont have any problem or any big issue to report except of course the bip's ups noise from the g5's but apple never got a solution for that, but dont worry if you want to go for the 2.3 g5 do it, you dont will get any mayor problems.
good luck

How can i change the setting for audio-video for my face time to built in only so i can have my skype camera ?

Good evening,
The last few days my I lost the ability on Skype to be seen by the other party ... I can see them but they cannot see me. At the same time my Face Time sent me some messages error.
When I open my Skype and go to Preference and go to audio/video I see my image ... and when I go back to make a call the camera is off (no light). When I look at the bottom where I can have a drop down arrow I have Face Time (built in).
On my other Macpro (that work well) I have at the same place built-in only.
Cannot change anything on my MacBook air ... no drop in.
Please Help and thank you !

I have to use RTP and RTSP for transferring the
audio/video streams in real time.
How I can sen and receive RTP packets.
How can I make the RTP Player.
What is the role of JMF in it.
Please suggest me and provide me the codes if
possible.
Thanks alot
shobhit vermaThere are two ways using which you can send and recieve packets using rtp. One without using the SessionManager and the other with.
1.) Not using the SessionManager makes things easy for you but it offers very little flexibility to you. You can do this by just specifying a medialocator pointing to the specific url
2.) Using the SessionManager is what is usually suggested. This process is more complex. First you have to instantiate a RTPSessionMgr to a SessionManager reference using which you can send and receive streams to and from the network. The process is more involved than this and is suggest you read some tutorials to get a better understanding, than me explaining to you the entire process.

Hi Kingofmacs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro and TV both have HDMI ports, you can use an HDMI cable to connect the two.
This article can help confirm that your MacBook Pro has the necessary HDMI port:

Looking to upgrade from my T400, need advice.

I've had my T400 for 4+ years. Rock solid. I like both the T440p and T540p.
What I'm primarly looking for is more screen space. 1440x900 on a 14.1" is too cluttered.
Advice?
Also will either the T440p and T540p.have the new haswell chip?

Well...
You could order the machine and return it if you end up hating the clickpad.
Consequently, you can still buy a refurbished or even new T520/530 units that have the conventional touchpad. A T520 would even have the same keyboard layout as your current T400 if that means anything to you.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Mac mini (2009) does not work for s-video input on my tv

Hi,
I have a new mac mini (2009) and I want to use like a media center. I have an adapter at MiniDisplay port to s-video to connect to my tv. I do not have digital inputs on the tv, I only have s-video, rca and scart. When I plug in s-video or RCA I have no image on TV. The adapter I have is the original apple store. Can you help solve the problem? I do not like having to change the tv.
Thank you

Any advice on Mac Pro setup? Have 2TB of image/video, need it all backed up

I'm looking at purchasing a Mac Pro (currently have a MBP and 2 1TB external drives).
I'm new to the world of RAID and not sure how to best spec out the drive configuration.
I have about 2TB of unique data (outside of my internal drive) which I would like to have completely backed up - this consists of image files of all sizes (tiny to 200MB), and lots of video for editing.
I have no clue how to set this up - I only recently started editing images and video, so haven't had to deal with these conztraints before.
1. I'm guessing Bay 1 should be either 500GB of 1TB, and hold my basics (email, calendar,etc) as well as all of my apps and their associated files.
I would certainly want this drive to be backed up, I assume maybe so I can simply boot off a clone of Bay 1 if this one fails?
2. Outside of Bay 1, I have 1.5-2TB of unique data right now, and but probably won't get up past 3TB anytime soon. How do I best make sure I have everything backed up, and keep things running quickly?
3. How should I incorporate Time Machine, if at all?
Thanks so much in advance for any advice!!

Hi there,
Basically, unless you go for super-expensive SAS-Drives and the Hardware-RAID card, you will be using SATA drives in your Mac Pro. You've obviously got four internaldrive bays which you can, as you said, fill with 4x 1 TB drives (from Apple, or any other compliant SATA drive (some chose Samsung, some Seagate, some Western Digital(WD)).
What he is talking about is a card that gives you a SATA externally (eSATA), which can then be connected via a cable to a set of drives in an external enclosure.
There are dedicated SATA controller cards, and apparently you could even use a simple "extender cable" as your Mac Pro comes with unused internal SATA connectors (http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/04/20/mac.pro.esata.extender/
http://macenstein.com/default/archives/678
- at $25 a rather inexpensive alternative perhaps?). However, I don't know if you might be losing performance compared to a dedicates SATA controller card for an external drive set (likely).
You will find plenty of different manufacturers of these combinations of drives and drive-housings, here's just one for illustration purposes:
http://www.mbsdirect.com/product.php?productid=17322
Have fun!
Let me know how it went, I am looking for a similar solution in about a month, after my new Mac Pro ships in a few weeks... that will be soo fast compared to my current setup!

Need help with 4-5 camera set up for audio/video podcast

Hey guys. I'm overseeing the podcast/audiobook studio construction for my company's new entertainment venture. It will ultimately be my job to produce the podcasts and audiobooks. The catch is that they also want to film the podcasts as well. I'm trying to find the most affordable set up that makes the editing/conversion process easiest for me on FCPX.
As you'll see I'm a bit all over the place. The essentials for what I'm looking for is
1) The right Camcorder
2) The most efficient way to record, edit and sync audio
What is the most affordable camcorder to use that works really well with FCPX? I've been hearing rumors that some aren't compatable and require a tedious conversion process. The Kodak Zi8 seems perfect because it shoots in 1080p and has a mic input, but I'm not sure if it works well with FCPX. Now, I don't know if the mic input is necessary. I was thinking the easiest way to automatically sync audio is by plugging the 4 mics into the camera's mic input and record that way. That should sync everything up automatically right? I also watched a tutorial on the multicam editing option in Final Cut and that seems perfect for this project. Do I need a mic input if I use this method? It seems like the syncing is super easy with the built in camera audio and the podcast audio files together.
I also would like to be able to record directly into the computer but don't know if that's possible. The process of taking 4-5 SD cards and uploading it after each shoot that way seems super tedious. I'm not sure if there is way to do that.
Another option would be for us to buy a video switcher but all the options seem so expensive. Anybody know of good hardware that'd work? That way I could edit on the go and if we want to make this a live ustream we can do so. I was also thinking about switcher software and using MIDI. Not sure if that is possible either.

Lets ignore whether you should be doing this, but, if they are requesting that you do it, have at it.
Although, the simplicity of this is mind boggling, for them not to do it...ah well, you're donating for a non profit, they are probably the cheapest game in town, and lost the sole employee who could scratch their backside...
Choice one, I dont recommend this one - File > Print booklet, 2 up saddle stitch. Flip back and forth using the Print Settings button at the bottom to orient the page layout and set paper size. Set the printer as Adobe PDF. Keep checking the Preview in the main Print Booklet dialog, I had to set a page range of 39 pages in a 40 page book for this to work last week.
Choice two - If you have set a 44 page document with bleeds, export to pdf, toggle "Use ducument bleeds", no crops. Place those reulting pdf's in a new 11 x 17, landscape doc, with appropriate bleeds. How you defined the bleeds in the 44 page document dictates how much fiddling you will have to do at the center (fold line) of the new 11 x 17 "imposed" document. (If your 44 page was not set as facing pages, you might have defind inside bleed to zero. If it was not set as a facing pages document, it references top, bottom, left and right bleeds) (The use of pdf for this is not necessary, you could just as easily place pages from the original InDesign file as pdf's) Setting a blue line/guide line at the center would help to crop in bleeding frames.
All above seems too simple, you are only needing to impose pages 22-23 for these steps btw.

For audio/video, is the iMac enough? Or is MacPro the way to go?

I do most of my work in ProTools as a recording artist, but am starting to do video editing, specifically concerts with multiple HD cameras set up. I will always be mainly working on the audio side, but I'd like to become proficient in video editing as well since it would help out in the studios I work with for various projects. I'm not going to be making massive movies or anything, but i will be sifting through various camera angles of concerts to make promotional videos and the like.
Is a new iMac the way to go, or MacPro?
I'm leaning towards the iMac on account of price, though I'd likely top it up with all the bells and whistles... so it'll be likely close to the base price of the MacPros if not more. Also, they'll be coming out with another iMac soon I hear, though nobody knows when. So I'm ready to wait for the latest iMac. Should I?
Thanks!

I'm not that big on tweaking my computer so much... i only recently upgraded the RAM on my 2006 MacBookPro! So while I can appreciate the value of customizing my computer, I doubt I'll be fiddling with it too much.
I suppose my question is, can the iMac do the job? And are it's shortcomings such that I'd be foolish not to spend the extra couple thousand bucks and get a MacPro? Is it worth the extra dough, for someone who won't be regularly upgrading this and that? And should I wait for the supposedly upcoming new iMac?
Sorry, I should have said questions up there.

Satelite internet causes communication errors for audio/video ichat

Have Wildblue satelite internet, can't use the audio or video ichat. It comes up with a Communication Error. Have changed the Quicktime streaming setting to 1.5 mbps. Wildblue says it is because of latency issues and they don't support video streaming. Any ideas????

Hi
One thing to try is you could try sending yourself a email with a large attachment(around 5Mb) and once it has run for a short while then try a video call.
If the video starts quit the email sending.

Ipad2-ipod4 cable options for audio/video out

Trying to find the best option for playing music/video from iPad2/ipod touch G4 through my home theater receiver.can I use one cable for both? Receiver does have HDMI inputs/output to tv, but will sound play through to tv or just on surround. Also do any options play audio in 7.1 sound, or at least 5.1?

Sorry you were having issues w/ audio sync. Try bypassing Onkyo system and going directly to TV w/ component cables. Sync issue could be a result of HDMI firmware hand shake problem. Then from TV you can use the optical out to Onkyo system.
