Intel Macbook and Plugins

Hi all, looks like I've found a mate who'll give me a good price for my powerbook, so I'm moving up to a macbook.
Just looking for a bit advice regarding plugins, I've got old mixes I may need to access and a currently unfinished project, both which contain PPC only plugins. I'm of the understanding that the plugins WILL work if I run logic in Rosetta mode? I should be able to finish the main project before handing over my pbook, but I'm just think of the future, should I need to access these projects will I be able to through rosetta. Performance shouldn't be an issue as it would probably only be to make tweaks.
Also I was going to bounce processed versions of the channels with the unavailable effects on them so unless I need to alter those effects themselves I shouldn't have to use rosetta.
Does anyone have any experience of using 7.2.1 under rosetta to get better compatibility with plugins?

Mine too is running perfectly, no mooing or anything, and compared with my old Powerbook, it runs quite chilled! It used to get boiling when maxing it out.
Fingers crossed for Royal Mail to deliver on monday, it's really quite frustrating that I can't run Logic!
Great to hear about the screen, I'm very much loking forward to seeing Logic in widescreen, it was never really the height of the screen that mattered to me, it's more the length anyway. Still, I'm looking forward to hooking it up to some bigger monitors, and to really putting it through its paces!

Intel Macbook and Airport management Utility

I am trying to set up airport management utility on my new Intel Macbook Pro. I have downloaded the utility and attempted to open it and get an error stating that it requires Airport 3.4. The update doesn't work and I believe I must have the latest Airport update. Might this be an Intel Mac issue?

OS9 on new intel macbook

I've got a new (realtively) intel macbook and am trying to install/use classic os9.
This article says how to install it, but the instructions don't match the install discs I have.
How do I get this installed? Or is it already installed and I just need to find it?
Thanks in advance
MacBook (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB RAM, Airport

Hi, J&R -
As Tom has stated, Apple does not support Classic (OS 9) on any Intel-processor Mac.
However, there is a third-party approach which some folk (not all) have found works good enough for their purposes and software. It's a program called SheepShaver, which can use up to OS 9.0.4 in its environment on Intel-based Macs. You can access a description, how-to, and download links here -

Problems starting up my intel macbook

hi im having problems with my intel macbook and was looking for ideas. To cut a long story short the laptop kept cutting out on me for no apparent reason. Now there is a firmware update to fix this which i now know. But the last time it cut out was in the middle of a rather large systems update (with about 1% left). Now every time i turn on my laptop it says.
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x009bddf): unable to find drive for this platform: "ACPI".
debugger called: <panic>
backtrace, format - frame : return address (4 potential args on stack)... a whole load of numbers and letters...
kernel version: darwin kernel version 8.6.2: date and a root file.
"you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button".
Its doing this every time i turn it on. So i thought i would reinstall the system. It booted from disc fine but when it came to restart after the reinstalling the system same thing. Any ideas? I really dont want to have to send it back and wait weeks and weeks for it to get fixed.

Hope you get it to work ...make sure you inserting the disc at the right time as well...
7. Turn on the computer and continue holding down the power button until the LED blinks rapidly followed immediately by a successive series of blinks (3 quick blinks, 3 slow blinks, 3 quick blinks). Insert the Firmware Restoration CD while the lights are blinking, then release the Power button.
8. Insert the Firmware Restoration CD. You will hear a long tone once the recovery process has begun.

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook. I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen. How do I do this?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Can I transfer docs between a MacBook with a Intel processor and a iMac with a PowerPC processor by using a usb cord?

Can I transfer docs/folders between a MacBook with a Intel processor and a iMAC with a PowerPC processor using a usb cord? Or by loading from the MacBook to a external drive and then to the Imac.

You need to use an external drive, FireWire cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless connection.

I don't think you have a case.
You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

2007 Intel MacBook Pro Pinwheels and Loss of Sound

Hello all,
So, about three weeks my 15" 2007-model Intel MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard began acting very strangely. All at once, after my computer had been on for most of the day, the toolbar item processes like Airport, Sound, Time Machine, etc. all began to display rainbow pinwheels of doom, with about a 10-second return to normality every ten minutes or so. This caused computer actions like playing sound, connecting to internet, opening force-quit, changing volume, etc. to only occur (and all at once) within that 10-second window. Other processes like Safari ran smoothly but very slowly--tabs would reset themselves, Flash refused to load, pages did not change for tens of seconds. Looking at my activity monitor, I could see that my CPUs were mostly idle, so I think that rules out some kind of malware coming in and gumming up the system. I tried restarting Finder, and then restarting the computer, but neither had any effect, and I also noticed that while shutting down, my computer would display the gray startup screen and a gray loading pinwheel for several minutes between leaving the desktop and powering off.
However, this behavior went away after that night, and so I dismissed it as a minor problem and thought no more of it. In the intervening three weeks (about a week-and-a-half ago), I upgraded my machine to Lion so that I could start an iOS coding project for work--as I upgraded, I also got rid of a Boot Camp Windows partition I'd been carrying around and didn't need anymore.
For the first two weeks, everything went fine, and there were no problems with Lion. However, this pinwheeling/slowdown problem has returned with a vengeance! The same symptoms have appeared, except they are becoming less and less intermittent/more persistent.
I have also been able to verify that my software is completely up to date, and that restarts have no effect on this new appearance of my issue. It seems to come and go as it pleases.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it?

the toolbar item processes like Airport, Sound, Time Machine, etc. all began to display rainbow pinwheels of doom,
For the toolbar issue... it's actually referreed to as the menu bar.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Clicik Go
Move the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

I purchased snow leopard and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs

I purchased snow leopard from online macstore in Australia and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update from 10.5.8. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs. Do I need 10.6.0 to install first?

Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, restart your MacBook while holding down the C key, this should start your Mac from the optical drive instead of your hard drive. Choose your language and install Snow Leopard. When it's done and you've restarted on your new 10.6.3 system run software update to upgrade to 10.6.8. Done.

Intel MacBook Pro and uncompressed video. Does it work???

I'm about to buy a 2nd edit system (currently running dual G5, AJA IO, with FCP 5 and, 3TB of SATA uncompressed storage) I need this next system to be mobile but still do uncompressed video. I see that you can use the AJA IO with the old MacBooks but you need a PCMCIA FW card with dual FW800 drives raided together to do 10bit uncompressed off of Digi Bet or Beta SP. Id there a pcmcia card slot on the new intel macbooks? Is anyone running this setup with success? I need to buy this thin ASAP and have it running soon. Any ideas?

MacBook Pros do not have CardBus slots or PCMCIA Type II. They do have one ExpressCard/34 slot which is, I believe, becoming the new industry standard. Well, ExpressCard is, anyway. It's simply a higher bandwidth expansion card format that uses the PCI Express bus or USB 2.0 for connectivity. It's important to note that the MacBook Pro uses the 34mm form factor (there is also a 54mm form factor). You'll probably have to wait for the hardware you have to support ExpressCard/34.

Intel macbook keeps slowing and freezing

I have the 2006 Intel Macbook which Ive upgraded with an SSD drive and Mountain Lion. Periodically the system freezes up, say on launching an application, opening a web page etc, and takes a couple of minutes to come right. Ive done a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion which seemed to sort things for a little while. My intuition is that the Macbook is struggling with the SSD, like the 'old' innards are finding the drive too fast or something!
Any suggestions anyone?
Chris

The first thing that jumps out is that Mountain Lion is not going to install on a circa 2006 MacBook because of its 32-bit EFI. At best, a Late-2006 MacBook will be running Lion. A "early" 2006 MacBook (Core Duo model) peaks at Snow Leopard.
The second thing that comes to mind is that you're probably having an issue with not enough RAM and that the freezing is caused by the system paging out to virtual memory. After such a freeze, open Activity Monitor and check to see how much swap is used (on the System Memory tab). If you've got a bunch of apps open, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see you several GB deep into swapping. That's not going to be a comfy fit.
Lion itself requires 2GB RAM minimum. A Late-2006 MacBook can unofficially support 4GB installed (with 3GB of that 4 being usable). That'll help a lot.
As for the SSD, your SATA system can only support 1.5GB/s and 3.0GB/s drives. I've an Intel Series 320 600GB SSD in my Mid-2007 MacBook and it rips along beautifully. If you've put in one of the new 6GB/s SATA drives, you may find it to be an awkward fit due to most of the newer drives not being able to fall back to 1.5GB/s mode.
