Looking for ATI Universal ROM upgrade

Hello:
I am looking for the August 2005 ATI RADEON Universal ROM Update. Every link I have been able to find goes back to ATI, with a dead link. Is this update available anywhere else?
I am trying to make my Radeon 9200 Mac edition function with openGL 1.3, and the program calling for it says that I have 1.1 available, and need to update the vid card ROM.

Thanks for the link kmac1036. I've been looking all over the AMD support section trying to find this, and all they seem to have is the January 2005 update.

Looking for 5.1.2 upgrade

Hi,
I am running FCP 5.1 on a PPC G5 and am (ugently) looking for the manual 5.1.2 upgrade.
I found a package (36 MB) for download at a site of a university but it will not install: a error message keeps popping up telling me to use Apple's automatic upgrade process.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!
PS: an recent post pointed to Red Giant but the link has expired.

Sorry, 5.1.4 does not work for me, I really need 5.1.2. I work for a company that manufactures and sells equipment that runs in conjunction with FCP, and we have not yet tested with 5.1.4. For our equipment, the changes between different FCP versions are significant enough to put effort into finding just the right s/w.
Anyone?

49$ for Aperture Universal Binary upgrade against software license

It has been said here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1491182&#1491182 that the universal binary cd will cost us 49$, I think Steve said something like this on stage.
Now, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that this is totally unacceptable.
But I'm glad I accepted the Aperture Software License Agreement. Quote from page 1 of Aperture Software License Agreement:
3. Transfer: Updates:
If Apple makes a Platform Update available prior to releasing a future, paid-for version of the Apple Software, you may obtain the platform Update free of change until such paid for version is available. .... blabla
Now to me this is very, very clear: it says free. Free, dudes, not 49$!
When apple charges 49$ for the Universal Binary disc then Apple is breaking the Aperture Software License. I guess you are then free to distribute Aperture on a filesharing server since you are not bound to the license anymore and you bought this piece of bits & bytes, so you can do with it what you want.
Of course laywers will see this differently, maybe someone can clarify this point who understands something about software law.

Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Emotions are running high all over the place. Found this early this morning:
http://www.apple.com/rosetta/
The Universal truth
Most of the applications that come on your Intel-based Mac are Universal applications, designed for screaming performance with the Intel Core Duo. That includes Mac OS X, iLife ’06, Safari and Mail. Most existing applications will continue to run, thanks to Rosetta. Pro applications from Apple — including Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Aperture, Logic Pro, Logic Express, Shake and Final Cut Express — are not supported by Rosetta. For most applications, you can upgrade to the Universal version for minimal cost (see “Apple Applications” to right). Third-party applications that require precision real-time playback may perform better with a Universal version. For the expected arrival dates of Universal versions of third-party applications, check with their manufacturers.<

Looking for an Answer About Upgrading

Hello Droid Friends,
I am looking to upgrade from a Samsung 510 still on the Alltel network, to the Incredible and I am still a bit worried I don't have all the answers I need. I have talked to 3 different associates and have had totally different answers. I am currently sharing a plan with someone and we both want the upgrade since our previous contract is up and has been up for quite a few months now. I spoke with a Verizon Associate on an in store visit and asked if there is any possible way we could keep our current Alltel promotion which was one of the last that Alltel was doing before Verizon bought them. Its the Friends and Family 10 (1000 Minutes and Texts shared between 2 lines). The Associate I spoke with said it was possible to keep that and upgrade to new devices the only addition is the $29.99 data package per phone. I want to know if there has been anyone who had the same package I currently have and has had a succesful upgrade to the Incredible without picking new minutes and texts separately. If anyone has any information they could share with me about this topic, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also I have noticed that Wal-Mart carries Verizon phones and since newer phones are often more expensive and considering how everything we buy has gone up in price, I wanted to get the best bargain I can. I have considered going to them to get an upgrade. Rather than spending about $300 for two phones I could spend about $75 and get the same thing. I have watched quite a few people walk in and walk out of Wal-Mart with new phones and it takes just about as long to do the switch. If anyone in the community has gone that route I'd really like to hear about it as well.
Thank You for you opinions and advice.

if you go anyplace other then verizon, they will ask you to pick a current vzw plan. they dont have the same option that vzw has.
you will then have to change it back. if its an alltell plan the chance of going back to it is no very good
yes you payless at places other then vzw for hardware, but they cant do things like verizon can
what i do since i have a verizon promoplan is to call cs and do my transactions through them.
yes im paying more for the hardware, but the $40 a month i save on service makes it worth it
i would attempt it this way. if they say you cant keep the plan, hang up and try a diff csr

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

Looking for the Proper WAAS Upgrade Path

A while back I started upgrading some of our WAAS 274/574 devices and once I got halfway through I relized I was on the wrong path to get the devices to accelerate and compress Native ICA for our Citrix sessions.
So Currently I have half our devices at 4.3.3c and the other half at 4.4.7
So my questions are....
What is the latest greatest version that I should be at for Native ICA Acceleration?
What is the best upgrade/downgrade path I should take to get there?

Dan,
It is recommended/required to run 4.2.1 (or a later version) before you install Version 5.3.1
You cannot upgrade from 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 to 5.3.1 since it is NOT supported
Here you have a link about it:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v531/release/notes/ws531xrn.html#wp63349
Please see the hardware specifications
Hope this helps!

Looking for help to upgrade Z61m HD and OS

All,
Being a layman I am looking for some help on how to do the following:
- Upgrade my current HD from the small 105gig to a new 320 gig HD - have the new SATA drive.
- Also wanting to get off of Vista to Windows7 - I have the new Windows 7 ulimate software.
Looking for procedures on how to upgrade(back up data, make boot disks, when to upgrade the OS.....) and not lose my data. I own a 500 gig external HD with plenty of room. Any pitfalls and gotchas are apreciated too.

I did a quick google and found some Windows-based programs you could buy to do that, but nothing for the Mac.
However, you ought to be able to do it in word (I do when I have to print chords w/ lyrics to play with a group). You just have to fiddle with the space bar and tab to line up the chord changes with the lyrics.
It might be easier if you use a fixed-width font like Courier.

Hallelujah, finally disabled OOPP. I use Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade to anything that ignores my settings. Been looking for this info for years!

As soon as Firefox came out with OOPP, I immediately asked how to permanently disable it and had a Firefox developer straight-up lie to me and say it couldn't be done without downgrading. Thank GOODNESS for the instructions on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/713600?page=1 Finally, finally I have excised the hated OOPP!
I run Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade, ever, unless I see signs that Mozilla has radically altered its development direction and discarded most of the boneheaded, broken, anti-user development that has gone into versions more recent than Firefox 1.x. Actually making your mission statement more than an empty promise might be a good place to start.
Let's see...anything else? Oh yeah, any developer who advocates overriding or ignoring user settings, or taking control away from the user, should be kicked off the team. (and investigated as a possible Government mole, but that's a lot to ask for). I hear Konqueror and Safari are looking for new devs. It gets old fast when you try to get support and instead get haughty "You're doing it wrong, stop doing that" responses. I'm doing exactly what I intend to be doing and if you can't support that, someone else will. If you really gave a damn about your users, you might start by backporting security fixes to previous versions instead of spewing out a cacophony of incompatible new versions so rapidly you end up confusing and alienating users and making them switch updates off entirely. I mean seriously, what happens when Firefox hits triple digits? You could stick a decimal in front of it, and name that build after a historic baseball player who had that batting average. But even then you will run out of players in a few months.
It's truly sad. I switched to Firefox because it was the best browser. But Firefox has been backsliding horribly since around 2.0, and the other browsers seem to be in about the same boat. Firefox IS still the best browser - but only if you use an ancient, unsupported version. That's a big problem.

Using an obsolete version released [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/9.0.1/releasenotes/ December 11th 2011] is the exact definition of downgrading. It exposes your system to all the security vulnerabilities that have been fixed since then.
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Out-of-process plug-ins was made mandatory on Windows Vista and later because Adobe don't test Flash Player's protected mode with OOPP disabled. This change didn't happen until Firefox 14, so there was no need to go as far back as Firefox 9.0.1.
If you absolutely have to, you can disable OOPP by creating the ''MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS'' environment variable and setting its value to '''1'''. Firefox must be restarted for the change to take effect. This works in the current version of Firefox, so there's no need to use obsolete insecure versions.<br>
If you don't know how to create an environment variable, see the following article for instructions (the "Using the Custom Environment Variable" section is not relevant).

I just bought iphone 5 and my itunes says I need itunes 10.7 But when I look for upgrades it says I have the current version of itunes. HELP!

I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

Upgrading to uber SDO_GEOMETRY, looking for comments

Good morning folks,
I see the new thread from Dalibor discussing an issue with what I am calling "uber" SDO_GEOMETRY - anyone got a better name?
Uber SDO_GEOMETRY is described here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_migrat.htm#CHDBCHBG
Dalibor wins some kind of prize for the first time anyone has brought up uber SDO on the forum since the old thread ran its course years back
Re: SDO_GEOMETRY size limits here to stay?
Coincidentally this past week was my first shot at trying out the upgrade script and I thought I might post my experiences and see if anyone would have comments. This was just a test machine and I agree that each major error could have been followed up with a SR. But my overall goal is to determine if installing and running uber SDO_GEOMETRY is feasible in my production environment, so for better or worse these experiences are building those recommendations.
So I am not much interested in going much in length why anyone would want to upgrade. I think the old thread covers it. For my work at least, the issues have not gone away. No question a polygon with millions of vertices is nutty, but they are out there all over the place and growing in number each year. Here are two additional datasets I am working with that are "over the top" for normal SDO:
* National Wetlands Inventory (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/DataDownload.html) - Largest polygon has 1,210,907 vertices.
* FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (http://www.msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/info?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&content=nfhlResources&title=NFHL%20Resources) - Largest polygon has 1,537,698 vertices.
My current procedure is to load the datasets using ESRI's geometry format, identify the biggies, export the remainder and then reimport them as SDO_GEOMETRY.
E.g. toss the big polygons away and explain to my clients that Oracle Spatial cannot handle this type of thing.
My production instances remain on 10g so uber SDO is not yet a possibility but I am trying to think ahead.
So back to the present. I started with a fresh 11gR2 (no upgrade history) running PSU 11.2.0.1.2 on OpenSUSE on a rather modest machine with two processors and four gig of RAM. I have about 100 gig of Oracle Spatial data on this machine. Basically I ended up running the upgrade script four times of the course of about 5 days, each run required about 30 hours to process. Here are some notes:
* Make sure you spool the results! The script is quite "verbose" and does not have any error checking so the ALTER TYPE CASCADE part can fail but the script continues recompiling packages and rebuilding all your indexes. This is good in that the system is put back together whether it bombs or not. Bad in that you can waste a lot of time waiting to rerun the script.
* You need lots of undo! The first time it ran through it appeared to finish and it was not until I looked at the logs did I see that I ran out of undo. I just had a single smallfile undo and it topped out at 32 gig. In the end I created 4 undo datafiles and it appears I needed 100 gig of undo! So I believe you need as much undo as you have SDO_GEOMETRY data. The first thing you want to do afterwards is DESCRIBE MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY to see if the type was altered. If you see the usual 1048576 then you bombed.
* Second time through I received an error that I had some spatial indexes in a failed state. Turns out as this is a development box there was an index stuck in "INPROGRS" state due to some flub on my part. This was enough to hose the upgrade. I would suggest folks check for this ahead of time using SELECT * FROM dba_indexes WHERE index_type = 'DOMAIN' AND domidx_status != 'VALID' and drop or rebuild those indexes.
* Third time through I received the cryptic error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22324: altered type has compilation errors
ORA-22332: a dependent object in schema "NAVTEQ_SF" has errors.
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qctostiix1], [], [], [], [], [],
[], [], [], [], [], []I had some sample Navteq data for use with the networking demo I never got functioning. At this point after four days of trying I was getting a bit impatient and just decided to drop that schema and try again. I have no idea why this navteg data caused an issue but the error never happened again with any other datasets.
* Fourth time through the alter type worked! But the script still crashed with
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qximgcn1], [], [], [], [], [], [],
ORA-06512: at line 14After eyeballing the script and the spool file it looks like it failed in the final step where it rebuilds all the spatial indexes. This seems right as I found sixty seven bad spatial indexes afterwards. However, it was easy enough to rebuild those by hand myself (I mean have ArcSDE do so).
So I call this a success! :)
So I am looking for anyone else's experiences they'd like to share.
With the amount of undo required, I think it might be a better route to just use the old school exp to export out all spatial data, run the upgrade and then imp it all back in? Or perhaps just dump out the large tables? Weird 00600 errors cause the DBAs (not part of my organization) that manage my production environment to bleed internally. Ideally I would like to avoid all that pain and suffering. Perhaps just dropping ALL the spatial indexes before the upgrade? I guess I would need to open an SR to see what caused the 00600s. I suspect the indexes.
So I would like to keep this thread tied to the upgrade process and/or planning/strategy for the upgrade process. There are a lot of other issues that we should start new threads over. For example, exchange of data between standard and uber instances as Dalibor is doing. It sure appears that datapump is never going to work and that only the old-school unsupported imp/exp utility can play this role? I have done some initial testing and ESRI's sdeimport/sdeexport tools seems to work fine between these instances. And none of this even scratches the performance issues.
So hey Dalibor, I know you went through this. Any comments?
Cheers!
Paul

Hi Mike,
Nice to hear from you. I would indeed be interested in your thoughts on the upgrade and the actual business case surrounding the upgrade or the decision not to upgrade. I am feeling rather skeptical at this point as the side-effects of the medicine so far are pretty serious. But yet the need to treat the disease remains. You can always drop me an email offline at my first name at my last name dot com or via LinkedIn. The nice things about a super-rare unpronounceable Polish last name is I am easy to find - and that's the bad thing too. Here is an update on my testing.
Per my earlier SR, the folks are Oracle have provided a backport for bug 10085580 for Linux 32-bit. It looks to work just fine and does the trick - problem solved. If one needs something other than Linux you will need to request the backport for your platform. The bug affects more than SDO_GEORASTER so I would recommend this patch as mandatory.
Moving along my next issue is that Oracle MapViewer does not seem to work with uber SDO_GEOMETRY.
MapViewer and uber (Very Large) SDO_GEOMETRY upgrade not compatible?
This is again a bit of a nonstarter as my client has a couple of applications using MapViewer against production instances. I dutifully submitted an SR on the matter yesterday. Almost to be expected the tech immediately asked why I would want to have such a large geometry and why don't I thin it! :)
It's no fun being in the middle on these things. I suppose I could ring up FEMA or Fish and Wildlife and tell them Oracle Corporation thinks their polygons are crazy. But as they are ESRI-shop folks, I think they would just be puzzled by the statement. If anyone has an opinion on how to broach the topic nicely with public agencies, I would love to hear it. Do we need to create a "citizens against huge polygons" lobby in DC? Again the ESRI shop folks are smirking.
The other issue in the thread started by Dalibor where the old imp/exp is erratically failing on the table creation statements is probably going to need an SR too. The work around is to just append the data and create your tables by hand ahead of time. On a more positive note ArcSDE seems utterly oblivious to the type change and I have not found any problems using ESRI tools to move stuff around.
Cheers,
Paul

MacBook Early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn Series - Unable to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion ( Looking For A Fix )

I own a MacBook "Early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn" Series has Intel Processor (T8100 (2.1 GHz ) / T8300 (2.4 GHz)) 45 nm "Penryn" processors, 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) installed in pairs (two 02 GB modules), a 160.0 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive with "Sudden Motion Sensor" technology, an 8X dual-layer write DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperDrive, an Intel GMA X3100 integrated "graphics processor with 144 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory", and a 13.3" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" display (1280x800 native resolution). It also includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a FireWire "400" port, two USB 2.0 ports, optical digital audio in/out, and video out capabilities (mini-DVI) that supports an external display. These models also include the "scrolling Trackpad", built-in iSight video camera, "MagSafe" power connector, "flush against the bed " keyboard that does not touch the screen” and "no moving parts" magnetic latch that "catches without a catch".
Now to the adventure on this, the above model (stock) ships with a Operating System MAC OS X Leopard which was succeeded by MAC OS X Snow Leopard ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which was again upgraded to MAC OS X Lion ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) and the latest one is MAC OS X Mountain Lion ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ).
Interesting part to all this technological babble is how APPLE INC forces you buy their product both hardware and software. Now, I have this old MacBook Early 2008 Model PC and I took it to the shop and I thought I would upgrade the software (OS and APPS) so I take it to the iStore ‘Rescue Centre’, as APPLE INC calls it world over, they say you will have to upgrade it version by version and each version would cost you a licence fee! SO the cost break up would be, I’m currently on MAC OS X Leopard to be updated by MAC OS X Snow Leopard ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which again to be upgraded MAC OS X Lion ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) and then to latest one is MAC OS X Mountain Lion ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which means I have to pay INR 3210.00 to upgrade the machine and I agree to pay for that and after two upgrades the third one(that is the latest version) was not compatible with my machine because of inferior/outdated hardware e unit and If I want the new operating system then I told to buy the new machine which costs between INR 90,000 to INR 1,40,000!!
That … ***** !!!
So I’m here looking for somebody, anybody, whether you would be able to help me with my MacBook which is early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn Series (for exact specifications, see above) and I currently running Lion on it and wondering is there any way I can upgrade this to Mountain Lion?

Your early 2008 MacBook cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion. The reason is that Mountain Lion is entirely a 64 bit operating system, and cannot use any 32 bit components. Lion, while also 64 bit-based, can use some 32 bit components, and thus would work on all Core 2 Duo machines. This article has more details.
The center you went to was incorrect when they said you have to upgrade to each operating system. You need to be at Snow Leopard in order to access the App store to download Mountain Lion. You don't have to install Lion to get to Mountain Lion. See this Apple page on this.

Looking for a more universal scripting language than AppleScript or Automator

I want to learn a cross-platform/web scripting language to automate tasks, write scripts and with the potential to create programs and web apps.
I am looking for something that:
- is not a program with a GUI like Automator, iKey, Quickeys, Maestro...
- is more "universal" than Applescript, cross-platform
- can be used to automate simple tasks in a simple way
- can also be used to create more complex scripts, web apps and maybe, eventually, programs (with GUI)
I've read about Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, C+, C++, Java and others, but I really don't know.
- Java sounds pretty cool, Python too.
- I'm not crazy about PHP or Perl, with Javascript, but some people swear by it
- I don't know anything about C+, C++
Does anyone have any suggestion(s)? Please let me know if you need any more details. Thank you.

C, C++, Objective-C are nor scripting languages and will not help you do web pages. (Don;t know what C+ is).
Forget Java it has lots of security problems and more and more users are disabling Java in their web browsers because of this. Developing in Java would be, in my opinion, a mistake.
If you are doing any web works at all you will need to know some Javascript, no way around that. But Javascript is actually not a bad language
Note Java and Javascript are two totally separate languages that have nothing in common but the first 4 letters of their names.
So you are left with PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby.
Dismissing PHP and Perl out of hand is a big mistake, They are both major players and you will run into them just about everywhere. If you are looking to do this for possible employment you will need to be familiar with them at least.
Python and Ruby are both strong languages as well. I don't have a lot of experience with either so I can;t speak to their strengths but learnign either would not be a mistake.
Knowing what your reasons are for asking this, personal use or for employment, might help refine the list some.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Perl is also included in OS X by default. Not sure about PHP but I believe it also is. I agree TextWrangler would be a good editor for this type of work.

Looking for some assistance upgrading to snow leopard

Hello!
I am upgrading to snow leopard from mac osx 10.4.11 (which i believe is tiger). I have an intel-based mac.
I have read about doing a "clean install" and have heard that it can be beneficial. I have an external hard drive that is about twice the size of my internal hard drive.
I will be purchasing the "box set" of snow leopard (i heard that if one is upgrading from tiger they must buy the box set-not sure if this is necessarily true though).
Ok, so I have searched the forum for "how to do a clean install" and some of the terminology was beyond me.
I am looking for step-by-step instruction for doing a clean install in layman's terms.
I think this will be helpful for many others who utilize the search function.
I thank you in advance and will mark useful responses as such.

I would not upgrade to Snow unless I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to Snow that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough. To make a bootable clone using Disk Utility (DU):
1. Start DU;
2. Make sure you external drive is partitioned GUID (not totally necessary, but I'd do it);
3. Choose Restore;
4. Drag your internal volume to the source box;
5. Drag your external partition to the destination box;
6. Choose Erase Destination; and
7. Click restore.
It will take an hour more or less. Once the clone is made, start up from it to make sure it is functional.
If you do an erase and install, then you will be able to migrate your data, settings, users, and apps from your clone at the end of the install. If you do not like Snow, then you can restore your internal using the clone. The clone is your data backup, possible migration medium, and fail-safe device.
To do an erase and install, start up to your DVD by holding down C during startup, and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and to make sure your drive has a GUID partition. If it does, then use disk utility to erase Mac extended (journaled). If it is not GUID, then make it GUID by selecting the number of partitions you want (even if the number shown is what you want). Selecting GUID will erase your drive correctly. In either case, quit Disk Utility, and continue your installation. At the end, you will be able use the Setup Assistant to migrate your data, settings, users, and apps from your clone.
You probably will want to install at least two of the optional install items, Rosetta (if you plan on using any PPC apps) and QT7. You can install either from the Optional Install Items folder on your on Sno install DVD.
Leave your Ethernet cable, if any, in place when installing, but unplug all unecessary peripherals except those needed to install.
