IMac 24" GT130 - Issues with Duke Nukem Forever?

Hi all,
I have a 2009 24" iMac Core 2 Duo, 3.06Ghz Nvidia GT130 512mb & 1GB of ram running 10.6.8. However Duke Nukem Forever does not run well and i was wondering if anyone else has had this gmae running on a similer Mac?
What is the issue here, is it the processor or the video card? Which Video card would be best suited in a newer 27" iMac for this (and other games) as i was looking at changing the iMac anyhow. I don't have the cash for a current iMac 27" with the 1gb cards etc but i would appreciate any advice ion the cheaper macs or a used mac.
Thanks.

  • IMac/Magic Mouse issue with multiple iMacs.

    I bought two new imacs last month with wireless Magic Mice.  The mice one both of them keep having communication issues.  I returned them to the genius bar and they replaced them.  I'm still having the issue.  I keep having to reset the SMC for them to work, but they only work temporarily.  I've also tried zapping the PRAMs  Any suggestions?

    Do a search of this forum, Just look down this page for two or three other posts with the same theme. Many folks report the issue. Many folks report different ways of solving it for themselves.
    I have had the MM for three weeks now without one issue. I am even experimenting with BetterTouchTool for added utility of my MM.

  • Having issues with wireless on my iMac

    Hello,
    I have had my iMac since August of 2011 and sometime last year I decided to upgrade to Lion (like maybe a two three months after I got it). The upgrade was rather smooth, with the big exception that ever since I have updated to Lion I have had annoying issues with my Wireless Internet. I know that this is a known issue, but I am hoping to get some answers/assistance... maybe there is something I can do in my particular case.
    Originally the issue was that whenever I turned on the computer from sleep, the Internet was disconnected. Now, I have a been a iMac/Mac Mini user for over 7 years now and I never had such issue, you turn on the computer, the Internet goes on with it too. It would require me to manually connect to the Internet evertime by selecting our Wireless Network from the drop-down menu.
    About, I want to say, two months ago? Apple sent out a fix via Software Update that said it would correct issues with the iMac wireless not turning on when returning from sleep, "Finally!" I thought and I enthusiatically waited for the update to come.... and it came and it just made things worse. It doesn't make me manually connect the Network anymore, but it takes it sweet time connecting (like a minute some times) and other times it will connect and disconnect a few times before not giving any more problems. Oh did I mention sometimes it just decides to turn off for no reason at all? Yeah, happens a lot. Especially annoying when I am excersizing my nerd rights and playing an MMO and suddenly get booted from the game because for whatever reason my Internet decides to log me off.
    This morning, it was connected to the Internet but websites were taking forever to download, eventually Chrome was just giving up and saying it couldn't connect... but the Internet was connected (full bars if it makes any difference). I tried turning Airpor on and off but no dice. Now, this totally sounds like a router issue, except my boyfriend was sitting behind me on his brand-spanking-new HP and he was happily surfing Reddit or whatever he does whilst online, no issues there.
    So the question is: Is it possible to "revert" back to the time before the update? I guess I could use Time Machine, but uhh, I dont want to revert the whole computer. So how exactly would that work (Time Machine noob here)? Is it possible to look at updates done and simply remove? Also, is there a more amicable fix that packing the whole thing up and taking it to the Genius bar? I'm willing to try some DIY fixes as long as they dont involve messing up with the whole network, especially since no other device is having issues, just this one and we have a lot devices.

    If you have a router that can do a 5GHZ network try it. There seems to be less interference in that part of the spectrum.

    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.

  • Performance issues with Imac intel 2011 27 inch..

    I have an 2011 imac 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
    Since a few months i noticed performance issues with FCPX, where before it would run through video it shows sometimes the color ball. Now the computer is slow in starting up and shutting down also. Ran disk utility but to no avail. I am now considering reinstalling mavericks.

  • Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

    I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
    In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
    In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
    Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
    I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
    All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
    What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
    I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
    Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
    Best,
    Travis

    Hi!
    I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
    Xbench:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
    MenuMeters:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
    If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
    As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
    Hope this helps in some ways.
    Cheers,
    Rene

  • My Apple TV drops out when my iMac isn't connected to wifi yet my TV is connected to wifi.  Also having issues with losing settings on Home Sharing as well.  How do I fix these issues?

    Whether I'm watching a movie purchased via my Apple TV or a movie stored on my iTunes app on my iMac I'm having constant issues with Apple TV either cutting out (randomly - not related to wifi) or not being able to access the 'My Computer' files when my iMac drops out the wifi connection because its in power saving mode.  I also have issues with 'Home Sharing' settings having to be reset and sometimes having to unplug the Apple TV power cord and plugging it back in to be able to successfully reset these settings so I can get back to watching whatever it was I was viewing on Apple TV.  My TV is connected to wifi as well so I'm wondering if there are any changes I can make in the settings of both my Apple TV and iMac or TV so that I can just select whatever it is I want to watch and be able to watch the entire movie or episode without it dropping out or having to keep flicking the mouse on the iMac to keep the computer connected to wifi?  I love Apple products generally but Apple TV is proving to be a pain in the a**e lately.  Hopefully someone can help me sort these issues out

    Intermittent issues will point to a local network/wifi issue.
    Reboot ATV and router, make sure both are up to date
    Try ethernet
    The home sharing connection will cut out if the iMac goes to sleep.

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

    Hello Apple Community,
    I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up.  I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power.  When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications.  I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac.  The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play.  Now here are my current issues.
    When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs.  I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked.  Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade.  On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
    The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes.  I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound.  iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
    The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
    iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues.  Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1.  All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
    I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly.  I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working.  Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it. 
    What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files.  After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu.  Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues.  This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
    Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
    One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired.  I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there.  Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

  • Issues with FP on old iMac running 10.6.8

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having issues with installing FP on my old iMac running 10.6.8.
    It seems to go through the motions, but it doesn't appear to install properly, as some websites are blank.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a possible solution?
    If I am not able to make FP 13.0 work on this computer, I may have to revert back to an older version of FP.  All my usual websites worked well on FP 12.0, but not on 13.0.  Does anyone know where I can install an older version of FP?  I looked everywhere on the website but everything forced me back to FP 13.0, and there is no way of circumventing it.
    Thank you so much for your help and attention to my dilemma.
    Kind regards,
    GrandSlam

    I had problems after updating Flash Player on my 10.6.8 too, so I went back to 11.9.900.117 and everything worked again.
    I was afraid Adobe had dropped support for 10.6 already, so I didn't do any updates after that.
    But now I think there was some incompatibility only with that particular version (I don't remember the number), because just now I've installed 13.0.0.214 and things work as desired.

  • Widgets issues with recent install of Mountain Lion on my iMac.

    Since installing Mountain Lion my screen periodically locks up an shifts to the right. I noticed along the left a charcoal background with large dot pattern was showing while the screen was shifted and locked to the right. Then a few times the widgets screen popped up on its own and I realized the background matched what I was seeing when the lock ups happen (I have never used the widgets). So it appears the Widgets screen keeps trying to launch spontainiously. I did notice the Fetch widget had an alert on it and with some investigation found that Fetch Works no longer had a widget for Mountain Lion, so I just deleted it. This I thought fixed the bug but now today the shifting and locking up has started again.  I did take the machine in to have a Genius run a diagnostic because of the hard drive issue with the iMacs but he said all looked fine and reinstalled Mountain Lion while I was there to see if that helped.. but it did not. Has anyone else run into this? If so, were you able to fix it? it actually just happened twice while I was typing this and I had to sit and wait for it to not be locked up so I could complete...

    You can use the Mountain Lion USB disk that you created or you can press Command and R keys on boot, but it will download OS X Mountain Lion from the Internet

  • Save for web&.... the image exceeds the size for ....issue with AI on imac i7

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from using macbook Pro to Imac inte core i7 with 4GB. I use illustrator CS3 for high resolution documents i.e saving a Design for say maybe saving for iphone &ipod skin; a quality jpg that is 1300px(width) by 2000px(height.
    General information
    The issue is I keep getting the pop up with:
    The image exceeds the size Save for Web was designed for. You may experience out of memory erros and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?
    I click yes, but get another pop up with:
    Could not complete this operation. The rastarized image exceeded the maximum bounds for save for web.
    And last weekend after NOT being able to save anything I went and bought 16GB memory thinking that this ussue would be solved, but nada.
    I have researched around here and google only to find about scratch disk: went to preferences then to plug-ins and scratch Disks -I seem NOT to get to the bottom of this at all.
    And this morning I was trying to create a pattern Design and could not even get the design on the color swatches as I have done before with macbook pro with 4GB -IT'S NOT FUN, because I am NOT doing it right. Do you care to help me out?
    Thanks a whole bunch in advance
    //VfromB

    Are you including a color profile?  What metadata are you including with it?
    How many pixels (h x v)?
    50 kb is not all that big.  Does your image have a lot of detail in it?  Content can affect final compressed size.

  • Wake issues with 24" iMac

    I am having the issue with my iMac lab. Units will go to sleep and when a student tries to use the unit there is no response from keyboard but mouse will respond. They need to be restarted to resolve the issue but should it go to sleep again we start the process all over. I have 17 in this lab and have been sending them in for repair two at a time. They replaced the DC/SATA cable on the first two and it resolved nothing. Resetting PRAM and PMU also did not correct the issue.
    Any ideas? Hardware? Software?

    I have a computer lab with 25 with the same problem. I found this happened after they keyboard update. Has anyone really solved this problem with the keyboards not responding after the computers go to sleep? We have to restart several every day, every hour. What is apple doing with this?

  • Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

    Upon installing Leopard, I've noticed several graphics issues and general lag and delayed response with the interface. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.16ghz White early 2007, 3gb of RAM, with the GeForce 7300GT card. I have Time Machine disabled, and Spotlight has fully indexed.
    When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase and Install" and have manually installed my Applications after the Leopard install. I'm using only a few applications that are all "Leopard ready" and have a relatively clean system at this point. I have also cleaned the PRAM, per the recommendations in some of the threads ive read, which didn't seem to correct the issue in this case.
    It seems that any time I run any type of video or graphical application, such as Photo Booth, World of Warcraft, iChat, etc, I get a large amount of lag and slow response with the interface. Windows respond very slowly, and the applications freeze for 15-20 seconds. Even when not engaging any applications, opening folders in the finder as well as the dock appear to stall and respond very slowly.
    Aside from these issues, Leopard has performed very well and I have had no other issues. Quicklook and coverflow all seem to respond very quickly and smoothly. My guess is that it may be driver related as it seems to be centered around items that are engaging the video card, though it is strange how some graphical effects seem to work smoothly while others are rather choppy. I have been watching the Activity Monitor and there don't appear to be any processes that are sucking up CPU, and nothing obvious that may be reducing performance.
    I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this on similar hardware, or possibly may know what the culprit could be. My best guess, again, is that it could be the drivers or firmware with this specific hardware that I'm using.
    Thanks for your time

    I've had the same graphics issues with my white iMac 24 (serial no starts W8638), but with the GeForce 7600 card. AppleCare got me to do all the usual stuff (reset PRAM, clean Leopard install etc) but problems continued. The usual pattern is that after a while horizontal lines appear (usually in Safari) and things deteriorate form then on until there is so much pixellation that I have to turn off and back on.
    Yesterday I ran for several hours using SMCFanControl to set the fans to max and had no problems, so my suspicion is that the additional graphics requirements of Leopard are over-heating the graphics card or logic board.
    The Apple engineer took the machine away today and said they'll probably replace the logic board and graphics card (I think they can't change one without the other in the iMac?).
    Will be a few days but I'll report back on what repairs they make and whether they solve the problem. My fear is that any changes they make will have no effect if its a design problem and the card is just not up to the job without over-heating. Though it could be the card just needs a good clean
    Has anyone else tried increasing fan speed?
