M-Audio Delta drivers are broken once again for 10.4.4

We just got the Delta 2496 card working with Tiger 10.4.3 when M-Audio released their v2.0.5 pkg.
Now their v2.0.5 is broken on 10.4.4, in precisely the same way pre-2.0.5 was broken on pre-10.4.4.
We have a vastly upgraded Sawtooth/AGP system. Not going to be able to afford any kind of new machine or upgrades in the seeable future. We're stuck with what we got.
Point the Sound Panel Prefs to the 2496 card, then make iTunes 6.0.2 or QuickTime 7.0.4 play something. Hear quickly repeating machine-gun sounds, then eventually SystemUIServer will crash, then crashreporterD(aemon) itself crashes! And anything else you try to start will crash, too! Try logging out and Finder will crash -- repeatedly! You then must restart your Mac with the Power Button. I sent Apple a ton of crash reports on this just a little while ago.
I sent e-mail to [email protected] staff because their web-portal for technical issues is not sending me my temporary password for it there. I have a feeling they will not respond by our deadline of Friday January 13 2006. Had someone posted an official warning about the drivers not working, we would not be in this present predicament. We have a Panther/10.3.9 partition for backup purposes, and this same v2.0.5 driver pkg works fine on it, so will be our only choice to continue our audio projects until/if M-Audio/Apple can fix this 10.4.4 bug.
(Before you say anything: YES I ran "diskutil repairPermissions /" in single-user mode no less, YES I re-installed the COMBO 10.4.4 update a second time in single-user mode, all this after "/bin/sh /etc/rc" came up, and re-ran repairPermissions YET AGAIN, did the "fsck -fy" thing a third time, result being nothing else is wrong with the updated 10.4.4 system as installed here. It is clearly only when pointing Sound Prefs to use the 2496 card. I don't know if back-level drivers mentioned here e.g. v2.0.3 or v2.0.1 will work with 10.4.4. What I am is STUPID for allowing myself to apparently be the first Guinea Pig for testing M-Audio with a "GM" system update release. I thought that's what Select and Premiere ADC members would be doing ON OUR BEHALF, we who cannot afford such memberships. Yes I am angry about this -- YET AGAIN we get bit like this. GRRRRR.)

Hi and thank you both for taking time to reply.
I've known how to fix OSX in single-user mode for quite a few years. Even with these kernel hiccups yesterday, the 10.4.x system needed only minor repairs there.
The 10.3.9 system here is on another separate internal drive, not partitioned, so it should be unaffected (crossing fingers of course <g>). What's funny is that the latest M-Audio Delta v2.0.5 is working fine on 10.3.9. The reason v2.0.5 will be needed: its MIDI fixes -- previous versions never got it quite right.
Yes I've learned that 10.3.9 has probably been the best way to fall-back ... Tiger has caused too many changes this past year. But I'm totally spoiled now with 10.4.x's speed and gcc-4.0.1 able to tweak most open-source projects to new heights ... it's tough going back to relatively slow 10.3.9.
One thing that is not M-Audio's problem but Apple's: right now there is no 10.4.4 Kernel Debug Kit, nor any SDK updates in case headers/APIs/etc. have changed in 10.4.4 or QuickTime 7.0.4 CoreAudio etc. (I just checked). How is Apple suppose to help third parties troubleshoot and update their drivers etc. when these are not made available along with the "GM" stuff?
I finally got registered at M-Audio's tech site, but no one has yet to reply to my problem record there or via e-mail. Figures. An "I saw it" would be nice, just to know...
So I did some testing on my own:
The Delta v2.0.4 pkg IIRC caused the same kernel-type problems on 10.4.3 as v2.0.5 is doing right now on 10.4.4. I already tried running the Delta Uninstaller and put v2.0.5 on on-top of 10.4.4 again, still crashing only when playing audio thru that card.
I jumped back to Delta v2.0.3 on 10.4.4 just to see if the kernel bugs go away, and so far I haven't seen any oddness, but the audio quality is suffering somewhat (sort-of what some ppl were complaining about QT 7.0.2-.3 back then, so maybe that's what got re-introduced with QT 7.0.4, oy vey).
But we don't get the MIDI fixes -- that's only in v2.0.5.
I'm still miffed that someone who has a Select or Premiere membership should have been able to test these very popular cards before 10.4.4/etc. came out. I guess I'll go on record to say: If someone would donate such an account to "me", I would most certainly make sure that happens next time.
Oh well ... I now need to find out if we can use Delta v2.0.3 & 10.4.4 with jackit+darkice now (if anyone is interested: search for the station call-letters 'KOKF' on the various shoutcast/icecast yellow pages during Friday and Saturday nights (only), that'll be us, yes that's the reason for the deadline). Otherwise we already have tested everything on 10.3.9 so that'll be our fallback, but I will be busy recompiling every project that's been updated while we were up using 10.4.3. Fun fun fun.
p.s. The "single-user mode" is even safer than "safe mode" to do any repairs or installs. Still do the 'fsck -fy' thing before anything else. Then once the /etc/rc script is run, 10.4.x is still in single-user mode but it has enough of the Mac subsystem running (not just the BSD stuff) so that cmd-line apps such as 'diskutil repairPermissions /', 'hdiutil mount' (for the dmg holding the pkg updates), and 'installer' can do its usual stuff. Yes the network is up then, too. This is only for real *ix geeks that know what they're doing of course. But this mode is about as low-level as it can get to do these kinds of repairs, something Applejack/etc. has yet been designed to do (mount dmgs, do softwareupdate, run installer, etc.). I'm glad there is such a mode, tho, as it provides the least interference to do such repairs.
Thank you again, at least for letting me belly-ache about these problems.

    Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all
    Hi and good day,
    I don't listen much to music, but mostly audio files (radio programmes etc.)
    But there is still one big drawback with iTunes:
    What I want to do is to be able to __delete__ an audio file (or song)
    on my iPad/iPod/iPhone (the Mac Library is there via Home Sharing)
    once and for all:
    I don't want to have to go back to iTunes and delete them there.
    I want to delete them on the device and forget about them!
    Please Apple it's about time.
    Any suggestions welcome!

  • M-Audio Delta 1010LT driver problems with 10.4.6

    I'm having problems with the M-Audio drivers for my Delta 1010LT sound card under 10.4.6. Specifically, I'm getting frequent kernel panics if I try to play sound through the card when I boot up in the morning after the computer has been shut down during the night. I've tried using not only the current version of the Delta driver (2.0.5), but also 2.0.4, 2.0.3, and 2.0.1.
    Recently, after being very frustrated with this problem, I requested and received a replacement card from the vendor, since both I and M-Audio Tech Support suspected that I might have a defective card. I have to admit that there seems to be some progress. At least for the time being, I have a working setup for Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1 with driver version 2.0.5 and Mac OS 10.4.6. However, I'm finding that I'm still experiencing frequent kernel panics if I try to play sound through the card (any sound application causes a problem, not just PTMP) when I boot up my computer in the morning. (BTW, I probably wouldn't have this problem if the driver would allow my computer to sleep! But that's another story . . .)
    I do have a workaround (at least, it seems to be a workaround, though my past experience leads me to believe that it could cease to be one at any moment): immediately upon starting up, I reinstall the driver. Then everything seems to be OK—unless the system freezes (which it does frequently, and which it didn't before I installed the 1010LT), in which case more often than not I get a kernel panic upon rebooting and have to install the driver again.
    Since when it does work, it works very well, I don't think that the problem is with my machine. (I've tried switching slots several times, which does not seem to have an effect.) But something is still clearly not right.
    BTW, through a process of trial and error, I've determined that there seems to be a conflict, at least on my system, between the M-Audio Delta drivers (all versions) and Intego VirusBarrier X 4 (and, I think, also ClamXav). I assume, though I can't support the assumption, that they may conflict with other anti-virus software as well. With Mac OS X viruses beginning to appear, this is a serious problem that I think should be addressed very soon!
    I'd be interested to hear if other users with Delta 1010LT cards have had similar problems under 10.4.6. I've seen a large number of such items involving 10.4.3 and 10.4.4, but there appear to be few reports of such difficulties with 10.4.6.
    MDD dual 1.25 GHz Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I finally gave up and ordered a Firewire 410, which works beautifully. Too bad that I wasted $200 on a card that I couldn't use, but . . .

  • Can Apple fix the 12 bit audio problem once and for all?

    I have had persistent audio problems from I Life V3 all the way up to I Life 06. Sometimes it is synch issues. Sometimes it is audio dropping out. I have been through the various forums and applied the various remedies with some successs, some failure. The basic problem is that I have an extensive quantity of Mini DV tapes dating back to 1997, most recorded with 12 bit sound (prior to 2002). Apple's basic stance has been, you must use 16 bit sound or I Movie and/or I DVD won't work and . And proposes awkward workarounds. Basically placing the onus on it's own consumers. Why can't 12 bit sound support be included in I DVD 06 and these persistent audio issues put to rest once and for all? Is there some overwhelming technical reason why it cannot be done?

    I don't know about overwhelming, but the DVD specification (which was not developed by Apple) calls for the audio to be sampled at 16-bit/48KHz (I think you might also be able to use 96KHz as well). This is what the software expects. If you choose to use another sample rate then the software may or may not be able to "fix" it in post. The real problem is that many camcorder manufactures set the audio to 12-bit by default.

  • I tried upgrading to MountaIN lION HOWEVER i WASNT ABLE TO Install.  I then tried reinstallling Snow leopard but once again it will not let me install stating there are errors on the disc.  I have run disc repair on disc utility but it wont allow me

    I was told to reinstall Snow leopard which I did .  More troubles! It then came up cannot iinstall as there are errors.  Tried going into disc utilities and repair but once again it stated iin red I cannot proceed.  can anyone help me here.  Before this was happening my system was slowing right down with the beach ball making an apearance after tapping the mouse or typing text.

    So you are trying to reinstall Snow Leopard?
    In order to do that, you need to erase your hard drive - you cannot go back to an earlier system without erasing. Make sure you back up your files first. Then insert the Snow Leopard install disk, and restart while holding down the C key. If that does not work, insert the install disk, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and highlight the install disk > click on restart.
    Once you are booted into the install disk, go past the language selection and then to Utilities in the menu bar. Use Disk Utility to repair the drive (just in case), erase it and then install. After that, eject the disk and update to the latest 10.6.8.

  • The big iChat problems. Audio/Video (now completely broken in 10.7.3), the "not-authorized" problem

    So, I am running iChat on OS X Lion 10.7.3 on an early-2011 MBP 13'' . These problems have been here for a while, though (I got my comp with 10.7.0). I have AIM/GMail/Yahoo connected..
    One problem is the issue of non-authorized people. There is a list of "not authorized" people that I have to scroll past in my "offline" section of iChat buddies before I actually get to the real offline contacts. Big note here: All these people have the address (something)@aol.com. These contacts have come up as a result of my gmail connection. You see, a few months ago Gmail and AIM did this chat unification process where @aol.com contacts can be just added into Gmail for chatting. These @aol.com copies come up asking for an invite when the REAL AIM address person talks to me. The invites leave once I press decline, but then they stay on my list as not authorized. If I delete these "not-authorized" copies, the invites will come up again and the cycle will repeat. It is a nuisance considering how much of these false contacts are on my list.
    Second problem is video/audio chat in general. This issue really applies on AIM/Yahoo—there is nothing for Gmail because people usually use the web interface which simply doesn't work with iChat video/audio. If the people used Google talk, the issue written below would probably come up.
    See, what happens is that…(now in 10.7.3), video/audio chat is simply broken, simple as that. My contacts always tell me that an error has occurred when trying to accept my video chat invite. It simply doesn't work. They are using AIM desktop in most cases. When it DID used to work (to a very limited extent, I'll say; it was hit or miss earlier pre 10.7.3, now it's just miss), it was just video but NO audio. They could see/hear me, I could only see them. When I did audio chats, they hear me, I..don't hear them (so audio chats were pointless). The only case where this problem doesn't happen is where it's Mac to Mac, iChat to iChat. VERY limited in use of audio/video chat, if you ask me.

    Hi,
    If AIM contacts have been added to your Google Buddy List then I would login to Google and remove them from there  (the iGoogle or GoogleMail web pages will show the Chat option)
    Whilst they are still in the List then the Authorization request will probably be resent (In this case it is probably being generated by the method Google are using to add the AIM names as iChat only sends it once).
    Google/Jabber Video chats is only iChat to iChat and so is Yahoo with iChat 6.
    The Yahoo App streams Video which People can be allowed to see and Audio is added in as an Audio Chat.
    The connection Process is not the same and iChat/AIM
    Jabber and Google use Jingle to Connect (in fact Google's version is not that compatible with other Jabber apps).
    This means iChat to the Standalone PC app  or any Web Browser using the Google Video Plug-in (PC or Mac) or to any Jabber app that is using a Google ID (or a Jabber ID) will not work.
    On the iChat to AIM on a PC.
    This has always been a bit of a hit and miss affair.
    Some people have no trouble but other spend ages trying to set things up and never find the solution.
    This is the Original Users Tip  (up to about AIM5.9)
    A "replacement" for that tip that has not made it across yet.
    I have yet to try Video to the Web Login version that is now on offer.
    However I would limit the Bandwidth in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps (possibly try 200kbps for 1-1 chats) as you will not know the interent speed available to the Buddy if they are using the web login.
    Comparisons
    When you compare iChat actual functions to what you would like it to do it can appear to be limited.
    On the basis that you would want your IM app to be able to have Buddies from other services listed in a Buddy list (combined) or Lists which apps do you know of can do that and Video to some of them ?
    Adium and ProteusX can both have Buddies from the major Services ina  Buddy List but don't do Audio or Video.
    Yahoo and MSN both allow the other's Buddies in the list but I am not sure about Video or Audio chats
    They cannot connect to Jabber or AIM buddies even for text chats.
    Jabber does depend on the server you use and whether that does Transports for you to have text chats with other services.
    Instructions for iChat.
    Mercury IM is a JAVA version of MSN and still has not got to Audio and Video
    Similar for aMSN
    Gizmo5 and YakforFree both died...
    Skype is Cross Platform  but is only 1-1 in Video chat.  (cost extra for 3 and 4 way chats)
    Yahoo had dropped support for their Mac version now iChat has the Yahoo option  (you can still download it  - IT being the beta it has been for  years).

  • MDT 2012 deploy OS from USB external drive failed - need to unplug and plug it once again

    We are using MDT 2012 and deploying Windows 7 using media (USB external hard drive). We can successfully deploy Windows 7 32 bit using this method but there is a problem with deploying Windows 7 64bit. This problem appears only on HP EliteBook 840. We can
    boot into WinPE 64 bit and can start proper task sequence, all image is applied then after restart, before logon screen appears there is an error saying that cannot find litetouch.vbs script. After clicking ok, I can logon to Windows and there is no usb external
    drive recognized. But when I unplug and plug usb drive once again it is recognized by Windows and can be used. I can see that Windows install some drivers just after plug it again
    I checked BIOS looking for some USB power options - there is no such settings. And 32 bit deployment works ok. So this is not a case. Looks for me like a problem with proper usb drivers for 64 bit. I download all drivers from HP website (driver pack and
    drivers only for USB 3.0). We are using make and model matching in MDT - works ok for all the rest hardware models. Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

    Not sure what's going on here. Is this a USB "Flash" drive or a USB "Hard Drive". There *Is* a distinction.
    I *thought* that MDT would copy itself to the c:\minint\scripts folder to continue installation.
    Next time, when you see this error, Press Shift-F10 to get into a cmd.exe prompt. Can you find litetouch.vbs on any of the drives? Does the USB Drive appear?
    IF in fact, the USB Drive is not appearing after the 1st reboot, then you have a problem. Why did the USB 3.0 driver not install. Check the Driver Installation Logs to verify.

  • Delta records are not loading from DSO to info cube

    My query is about delta loading from DSO to info cube. (Filter used in selection)
    Delta records are not loading from DSO to Info cube. I have tried all options available in DTP but no luck.
    Selected "Change log" and "Get one request only" and run the DTP, but 0 records got updated in info cube
    Selected "Change log" and "Get all new data request by request", but again 0 records got updated
    Selected "Change log" and "Only get the delta once", in that case all delta records loaded to info cube as it was in DSO and  gave error message "Lock Table Overflow" .
    When I run full load using same filter, data is loading from DSO to info cube.
    Can anyone please help me on this to get delta records from DSO to info cube?
    Thanks,
    Shamma

    Data is loading in case of full load with the same filter, so I don't think filter is an issue.
    When I follow below sequence, I get lock table overflow error;
    1. Full load with active table with or without archive
    2. Then with the same setting if I run init, the final status remains yellow and when I change the status to green manually, it gives lock table overflow error.
    When I chnage the settings of DTP to init run;
    1. Select change log and get only one request, and run the init, It is successfully completed with green status
    2. But when I run the same DTP for delta records, it does not load any data.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.

  • Delta  reocrds are not getting extracted . Problem with delta Quaue

    Hello friends .
    Could you please help me in this scenario ?
    It’s related to delta load from application 12 ,  - 2LIS_12_VCITM.
    Some how data is not getting transferred from LBWQ to RSA7 . There are more than 200000 entries in LBWQ , but the job is not able to transfer any entries to RSA7.
    For rest other application , data is going correctly .
    The job status showing is correct , like XXXXX LUW are transferred … there is no error in Job log , it technically correct .
    I have found one notes , in SAP service market place , but still it doesn’t match with my job status . My job status is NOTESID  ..where as per the notes it should WKEDPI*** ( something like this ) .
    I have taken below steps to solve this problem but still it doesn’t work .
    1.     Removed job from schedule ( the job for LBWQ to RSA7 ) and Executed the job manually .
    2.     Executed Program RMSBW12.
    3.     Deleted the Delta Q from RSA for application 12 and regenerated the same once again by running the infopackage , early delta initialization with out data transfer , . Once Delta Q is generated , run the job once again .
    I hope , I tried with all correct way ..but still I could not able to transfer the data .
    But with all above steps , still data is not transferred . Daily infopackage is running as per the schedule , and bringing only 0 record . If it still doesn’t work then I have to do Re-initilization .  and this is big cost for us . as we have to lock the sys for users and so on .
    Could you please give me some tips , that how can I transferr the data from LBWQ to delta Q ( RSA7) . If it works then definitely , I will save my lot of time .
    Please suggest me , how can I proceed . Please save me from this situation.
    Many many thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi Akshay,
    Go to SMQ1 and check MCEX12 Queue. If your delta records are piling up in SMQ1 and not being transfered to RSA7, you need to check your back gound job control option once again.
    The back ground collector job will collect the recrords from SMQ1 and push to RSA7.
    Try to execute RMBWV312 program in SE38 and manully push all the recrods to RSA7. Once all the records are available in RSA7 you will find the MCEX12 queue will be cleared in SMQ1.
    Cheers

  • Warning: Audio from iMovie08 projects broken in iMovie 09

    I had 6 active projects when I upgrade. Three of them seem to be fine, but the other three dropped their audio tracks that I added. Of the three good ones, all three use audio tracks that are simply drop-in songs from iTunes -- where I selected the audio via the iMovie08 media browser.
    Of the three with issues, one of them had a custom audio track that I'm not sure I can replicate, so that may just be lost.
    The other two were simply songs I dropped in from iTunes via the iMovie08 media browser. The songs show up in the projects pane, but with a yellow exclamation point. When I click play, the movie plays fine, but with no audio.
    So, in these two projects with broken audio from an iTunes track, I simply deleted the broken link and re-dropped the same song in. Now the audio is back, but after about 20 seconds of playing, the movie gets choppy, and playback starts freezing though the audio keeps rolling. I haven't tried export, so I don't know if this impacts the final product, but it does make it unworkable to review my projects.
    Has anyone else had this issue -- where the audio link breaks and, if you fix it, it seems to mess up the video somehow.
    I put this up here both as a request for help, and a warning to others -- back up your projects before upgrading, check each project carefully for the broken audio issue, and if the audio is broken, don't think that just dragging the audio back in will fix the issue.

    I spent some time on the phone with apple today troubleshooting this issue. my projects would freeze the visual while running the audio. They had me download a short movie from apple.com (any .mov file will work). close all apps including imovie. go into home folder/movies and drag the imovie events and imovie projects folders to the desktop. this essentially erases all the info in imovie. then open imovie and make sure there is no content inside. once confirmed go to file/import/movies and import a .mov file you know is clean (i would suggest a short one to keep from spending a long time). when the movie shows up in your library select a clip and put it in a new project. does it play both audio and video? if yes the problem is with your clips. if no you have faulty software and will need to replace ilife. go back to home folder/movies and drag the imovie folders on the desktop back. it will ask you if you want to replace existing folders. say yes or continue. if the clip you tested earlier played fine you will have to reinstall ilife and rebuild all events you want to work.
    this is a pain but it works. mine is back to normal.

  • M-Audio Delta 1010LT

    I installed an m-audio Delta 1010LT in my G5. So far I love the sound, nothing is misbehaving, and think it was a pretty good choice. However, there is one thing that bothers me: while it is easy to use for all of your sound input and output, it's volume cannot be controlled by the main system volume in the Sound preferences nor the Volume menu that can be put in the menu bar. At first this didn't seem like a problem, because most of the apps I use have their own volume controls. Then I opened a web page that automatically played a midi file, or mp3, or had a flash animation with audio, and suddenly I realized I don't know where Safari's volume control is. Oh, that's right, there isn't one because it's not typically an audio app, but I couldn't do anything other than navigate away from the page, or close it.
    I understand that it makes sense for a pro audio tool to always remain at a fixed, rather hot level, but it's extremely inconvenient for other uses. I could easily create an Automator action to set the 1010LT's volume to maximum and launch Logic Pro, then adjust it as desired after quitting Logic Pro, so I'd rather have the ability to control the volume of the 1010LT's output.
    Does anyone know of a way to control the output volume of the Delta 1010LT for general system use?

    the final tip is
    don't try too hard trying to make it work, because all the pro interfaces doesn't support that master volume control on the top bar or the on the keyboard volume control
    As soon as you choose your pro card as the default output, it automatically bypass the volume master control that you use to have with the built in card
    question, if you Pro interface then you should have a mixer right?
    because my signal runs through my mixer before it goes to my monitors, and so as alot of other pro musicians
    actually you don't have to be a pro musician to use a mixer, its just one of the choices you make when you want to have a studio
    so just use your mixer, thats if you have one
    its all the same
    stash
    I got two 1010LT in G5 and both of them connected as one so the output is coming from the 1st card
    from the card to my mixer, from the mixer i have many splits (headphone, control room,main mix etc etc, so my monitors is being controlled by my control room knobs
    and i can switch off the monitor without affecting the main mix or the head phone, and i think thats one of the advantages of having pro interface, it goes with a pro mixer or just any mixer
    so if you have a mixer just use that to control the volume
    because i can tell you that none of the pro interface give you that choice to use the volume control on the keyboard
    Delta cards
    digi cards
    motu
    all other pro cards doesn't support that
    someone please correct me if I'm wrong
    as far as DELTA being a good card, I'm down with you, alot of people use to hate them because of their drivers and others use to hate them because of what others have told them
    but their drivers are stable now
    if you have the latest updates
    10.4.2
    logic 7.1.1
    delta version 2.0.4
    pro app support
    and as long us you are using on any macs besides G5 dual 1.8 and G5 dual 2
    I think you should have less problems or no problems at all
    stash again

  • Audio and Video are Out of Sync

    Hello,
    This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
    I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
    This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
    PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.

    I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
    Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
    I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
    At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.
