Is Apple's Color Compatible With My Computer?
I have a G5 . . . however, it's an older Dual 2G G5 with PCI-33 slots . . . These slots will not allow me to work w/HD material because they're not compatible w/any HD cards, etc . . . I have FCS, but am thinking about upping to FCS2 - particularly to use Color. Would I be able to use Color on this computer then?
Also:
I have a Sony DVMC-DA2 analogue to digital media converter that I use to view FCP footage (DV) externally on a monitor. I believe I recall hearing or reading somewhere that Color may not be compatible with this device and I would not be able to view my footage externally using Color and my media converter.
Is any (or all) of this correct?
One last thing: If I CAN'T use this particular G5 set up as it is with Color, would the purchase of a Matrox MXO that takes the video and audio information directly from the computers DVI slots for the purposes of transmitting "accurate color" to a 23" Apple Cinema Display, somehow, circumvent whatever PCI33G5-to-FCS2's-Color incompatibility issues there might be?
Thank you all in advance for helping out and answering these, possibly confusing, questions. I'm just trying to figure out the best setup that I can get to configure my computer to color correct my present project (a DV feature) as well as future film and HD projects.
Thanks again,
Javier Calderon
Just did a search and found info that . . . well . . . although helpful, wasn't too promising for my particular "iron".

"Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro."
Although not specifically stated, the verdic doesn't look good at all for my "paltry" PCI33s . . .

Been running Firefox for years. I upgraded as I usually do whenever there is a new version of Firefox. I downloaded Firefox 5.0 and now if I try to log on is says "This version is not compatible with your computer's architecture." I've changed nothing on my computer. I'm on a G4 Mac OS 10.5.8. I tried to download the older version of Firefox 4.0 but still the same message.
Hi @kbaostrem
A full feature driver for Mavericks is not available for your printer, either from the CD that shipped with your printer or from the HP website. This document applies to HP printers supported in Mac OS X versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks), and 10.10 (Yosemite) that only have drivers available through Apple Software Update.
If you would like, I can help you put the printer on your wireless network without software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
Connect to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3050a and then part of the MAC address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.
You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.
The blue wireless light will go solid, put the Mac back on your own network.
Add the printer to the System Preferences.

"OSX Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."
I bought a MacBook Pro (13" retina display) today. Tried to update software. Error mesage said to ujpdate OS. When I tried to, error message said, "OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
All owners of the model seem to have the same problem. Presently there is no 10.8.2 updater for your model. The previous updater has been pulled. Wait a while and one will show up when Apple gets it fixed.

have lion 10.7.4 up graded from tiger 10.5.8. tried to download mountain lion but received a message that mountain lion is not compatible with my computer. anyone have this problem or suggestion?
It's actually not the chip... it's the drivers for the video card. this is what my friend who does IT work said.
"The drivers for your Mac's video card are not 64bit compatible even though the computer itself is. Mountain Lion has done away with all 32bit OS components so it only runs on full 64bit MAcs now"
So even though I updated my video card to a newer version and my computer itself is 64bit... apple didn't create a driver for it that was 64 bit. My hardware is fine for this update and the chip can handle it. It can handle all my 64 bit programs just fine. It's apple forcing me to update and buy a new expensive computer. So much for long lasting computer... they last long but they won't be supported very long.
Why not release a version of mountain lion that supports 32 bit graphics alongside the 64 bit? Wasn't that what grand central was going to accomplish? This is rubbish. -

Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer
When will I be able to upgrade my Mac Pro to Mountain Lion:
2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Memory 13gb 667 MHz DR2 FB-DIMM, 64GB free disk (system), 1TB free other disks, computer age mid 2007, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
As of 11/28/12: Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.I installed Windows 8 Pro on a PC, quickly shutdown and walked it over to my Mac Pro 1,1.
5365s are 8-core and Geekbench in the 8000 pts range.
An apple 2010 refurbished is $1800 also, old 4-core 2.8 but can upgrade easily to W3680 6-core 3.33
I agree running native beats running VM
The issue with getting Windows 64-bit onto 32-bit firmware is just the install phase but a real pain. 64-bit Windows requires, if the system is EFI based. I do have one PC that does use UEFI and Windows 8, another that does not. Both are 2008-9 motherboards (Intel which supports UEFI, and Gigabyte which did not with X58). Apple of course last updated our EFI 1,1 and 2,1 back in 2007. Before UEFI was done standardized etc. -
Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1? Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?
First Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -

Is iPod compatible with my computer?
Hi, so I'm going to buy an iPod classic this week. I was looking over the specifications and everything and under Windows operating system it said you need to have service pack 3. I have a Windows XP computer with service pack 2. Does this mean that the iPod classic won't be compatible with my computer? I don't have the money to buy a new computer or upgrade it or anything and this one isn't even that old. Please help me out.. I really want this iPod!
You don't need to spend money to install service pack 3, it's a free download from Microsoft. Have a look at this link: Microsoft Help & Support - How to obtain the latest Windows XP service pack

In order to run Windows Applications, you must own the applications and, since they require Windows, you must own Windows. There are technologies like wine that will allow Windows applications to run without Windows, but they tend to be flakey at best.
