Macbook and Core Image

Will GMA950 handle Core Image?

According to this Apple page "Core Animation takes advantage of the multiple cores in most new Intel-based Macs. When developers use the framework for an application, the process runs in its own thread. On a multi-core Mac, this means the application runs on one core, and Core Animation on the other. Core Animation runs on any Core Image-capable Mac (including most Macs shipped in the past two years)."

  • GeForce4 MX Mac Edition and Core Image

    Do I have Core Image Support under either Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5.7 using a GeForce4 MX (Mac Edition, originally installed in a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz)?
    I'm running it in a Digital Audio Dual 533 in its 4x AGP Slot.
    Under Leopard 10.5.7, the system profiler says its Software Supported, but I don't see any "Ripple Effect" when adding something to the Dashboard. Under Tiger 10.4.11, it says Not Supported. I thought I had at least Software support in my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz when I was running with Leopard or maybe Tiger there ... CI wasn't available in Panther 10.3.9, was it?
    Any suggestions where I can get Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard GeForce 4MX user documentation?
    I'd like to make to best use of it in my DA under Tiger (and maybe Leopard).
    Thanks!

    Bill,
    I'm a little confused at what exactly "Software core image is", for information sake my eMac with an ATI 7500 (does not support core image) displays the same behaviour in 10.4 and 10.5 (Core image 'not supported' in 10.4 and 10.5 'software supported'), but no ripple effect etc..
    In my experience any card that does not supported hardware-wise for Core Image won't display the ripple effect - maybe there is an underlying advantage of 'software supported' video cards but I'm not sure what - maybe it's just vague terminology which means the same thing under 10.4 and 10.5
    I suppose the conclusion I have is don't expect to see the 'ripple effect' or other visual core image features :P.

  • Quartz Extreme and/or Core Image on RAGE?

    Hi,
    I have a Power Mac G4 and it has a 16MB AGP ATI RAGE 128 card in it. Is there anyway I can enable Quartz Extreme and/or Core Image on it? It's running Tiger (10.4.11).

    This application supposedly would patch a PCI Mac to use Quartz Extreme but does not work after 10.4.3. It isn't intended for an AGP Mac. According to Apple you need a Radeon card to use Quartz Extreme: Mac OS X 10.4: Requirements for Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics.

  • Core image and acd compatible cards for cube

    I recently bought a second hand G4 Cube online and I am going to update it to Tiger. Now I haven't received the cube yet, but I was thinking along with the OS update, to change the graphics card too with something better. The cube has the Apple Cinema Display along and Tiger have core image. I can find a list with the core image compatible cards on this site, but I cannot find anywhere a list with all the cards that support both acd and core image and are agp x2 compatible. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Christos

    For a Cube, I think there is only one possibility for both ADC and Core Image.
    The Radeon 9700 which shipped with G4 MDDs.
    Here is one, priced insanely...
    Link
    From the picture, it looks like this particular one is 4x/8x AGP only (the AGP connector is shown with only one notch instead of 2).
    One other possibility would be to use a compatible Radeon 9800 or Geforce 6200 and an (expensive) ADC adapter like this one.

  • Core Image?

    Hey, I've recently switched to mac after being disappointed with my old pc. So far it's been great and I'm thoroughly happy. I'm interested in graphics and use Photoshop, Image Ready and iPhoto. So to increase my graphics options I decided to use Core Imgage that I have heard and read about, however, a Spotlight search shows that I don't have it. So I'm wondering does Core Image come with 10.4.7? Or has something gone pear-shaped and for some reason i don't have it for whatever reason. If so, is there a place I can download it, as I've not seen anything on the Apple site.
    Thanks for any replies.

    Mac OS X 10.4: Requirements for Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics
    If you're wondering what the video requirements are for Quartz Extreme and Core Image in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, find out in this informative document.
    Note: Quartz Extreme and Core Image are impressive video enhancements in Tiger that appear on fast Macs. But even if you have an older computer that can't use Quartz Extreme or Core Image, it can still run Tiger if it meets the system requirements. If you have a third-party video card installed, contact the card manufacturer to determine if it is Tiger-compatible.
    Quartz Extreme
    Some appealing graphics effects, such as the "rotating cube" effect you see when using Fast User Switching to switch users, are powered by Quartz Extreme. Quartz Extreme uses OpenGL and a supported graphics card to reduce the number of onscreen calculations being performed by the CPU. To take advantage of Quartz Extreme, you need one of the following graphics cards:
    ATI: Any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU, with 16 MB VRAM or better.
    NVIDIA: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX or later, with 16 MB VRAM or better.
    Core Image
    Other graphics effects and optimizations in Tiger, such as the ripple effect that shows when you place a widget on Dashboard, are driven by Core Image. When a programmable GPU is present, Core Image uses the graphics card for image processing operations, freeing the CPU for other tasks. To take advantage of Core Image, you need one of the following graphics cards:
    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
    ATI Radeon 9550, 9650, 9600, 9600 XT, 9800 XT, X800 XT
    nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200
    nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
    nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, 6800 GT DDL
    If you have a different card, contact the manufacturer for Core Image compatibility information.
    Verifying compatibility with System Profiler
    With Mac OS X 10.4, you can use System Profiler to make sure your computer's GPU supports Quartz Extreme or Core Image.
    Open System Profiler (it's in /Applications/Utilities, or, if started from the Tiger install disc, open it from the Utilities menu).
    Click "Graphics/Displays" under Contents.
    In the right pane under "Display," look for the Quartz Extreme and Core Image lines; next to each, you will see either "Supported" or "Not Supported."

  • Quartz Composer effects render blank white video - confused re Core Image

    I've tried the Quartz Composer effects in iMovie 6 but they preview as blank white video and when I apply the effect they render as blank white video.
    Here's my video config:
    Chipset Model: ATY,RADEON
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-A
    VRAM (Total): 32 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x5144
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-74901-224
    Displays:
    Acer AL1912:
    Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
    Depth: 32-bit Color
    Core Image: Not Supported
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Supported
    After reading this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/hottips/
    I see that the Quartz Composer effects are supported only for Core Image supported video cards. I think that means I'm out of luck. It seems odd that the effects still attempt to render and be applied even if my system doesn't support them. Is something wrong with my installation, or is this expected behavior?
    I've seen statements here on the discussions that Quartz Extreme should enable effects like the ripple when opening or closing Dashboard Widgets. My card does support Quartz Extreme but I do not see the ripples. I'm guessing that it's actually Core Image that produces those effects and that's why I don't see them. Is that a correct guess?
    I guess I'm confused over the difference between Quartz Extreme and Core Image.
    Thanks for clearing up my confusion...

    Quartz Extreme, as I understand it, is used by OS X for drawing windows
    That is true. Quartz Extreme is a special, hardware accelerated instance of Quartz. Quartz is OS X's native drawing environment. When Quartz Extreme is not supported, Quartz will be used instead.
    Quartz Composer is something else that builds on Quartz. It appears it requires Core Image. Core Image is a set of graphics routines that allow image manipulation (if you have the developer package installed, you can also find an application called 'Quartz Composer' that you can use to define effects, screensavers etc).
    Core Image also intents to leverage your GPU. Apple's Documentation alleges that if there is no GPU available it will use the CPU instead. Theoretically, your Mac should support Core Image. Yet...
    From Dennis' System specs:
    Core Image: Not Supported
    This may be the reason why you can't use these effects in iMovie. Because of shortcomings in iMovie's plug-in API, the plug-ins may still show up in the f/x panel - they simply will not function when selected.
    Perhaps a later version of OS X enables CoreImage on all Macs?
    Hope this helps,

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • MacBook and Intel Core 2 Duo?

    Hey there everyone,
    It is great that Apple is announcing the Intel Core 2 Duo, but when would it be available in the MacBook or MacBook Pro?
    I am starting school in January and would like some time to use my new MB or MB Pro, but don't want to make a decision to buy and have the next gen processor avail next week...
    The special with the free iPod Nano or reduced price iPod ends September 16th. Why are people waiting until next Tuesday, September 12 to make any purchases...I hope no bombshell will be dropped on everyone.
    I was totally prepared to get my MacBook or MacBook Pro tomorrow, but VERY hesitant now.
    Any advice? Am I making a big deal out of this? Will I EVEN notice a difference between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo?
    The main reason I am not buying a MB Pro is the heat issue and yet the Core 2 Duo is predicted to be cooler...
    Help!!!

    Apple does not pre-announce updates like that. They also do not allow us to speculate on their boards about upcoming products.
    It is close enough to a major conference that waiting a week would not necessarily be a bad idea if you can.

    I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
    But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.

    Hi,
    As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
    Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.
