Mountain Lion incompatible with Geforce 8800?

I have an 8 core Mac Pro, everything has been working fine...until I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Doing anything video intensive causes the system to crash.  Sometimes the whole system has a kernel panic and reboots on its own.  Other times, the video goes nuts, and I get repeating patterns all over the screen, and am unable to get the system back to a usable state without having to hold the power button.  The video card was a GeForce 8800GT, which I have been using for years with zero issues... until upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I have all updates installed as well.  I took the video card out and put back the ATI that came with the machine, and it seems to have resolved it.  But why is it doing this?  The Geforce is a far superior card, and I hate not having it.  If there is no fix, I may just downgrade and start looking at switching back to a Windows machine.  If anyone has any suggestions or answers, please help.  I appreciate it.
Below I'm pasting a log of the kernel panic:

  • Mountain lion incompatible with sky go

    Just been informed that mountain lion is incompatible with sky go. every time you use sky go it registers the mac as a new device each time. you are only allowed to register two devices per month so in effect you can only watch sky go twice per month!!! was advised by sky there is no fix in the pipeline. cant think the growing number of new mac purchasers are going to be too happy with this. Any one got same experience or solutions

    Could this be approaching resolution? I just had a chat session with Sky and here's a screen grab from the session:

  • Why is mountain lion incompatible with my mac pro?

    The app store says that Mountain Lion is incompatible.  Not sure why. I have 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon processors.  I have 8 GB of memory free and over 800 GB of storage free.  Can someone explain?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    If you're running Lion, it should, where my iMac shows it's an early 2009 design:
    But a Mac Pro 1,1 is probably an August, 2006 model.  I don't find an article that connects the model number to build period for Mac Pros, but plug your serial number into this site.  It should show it.

  • Mountain Lion incompatible with other equipment?

    I recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion and am now unable to use my Epson scanner or my Canon ip4820 printer. Am I just out-of-luck and need to replace these two essential pieces or is there a way around this?

    For the Scanner, try opening Image Capture and see if the scanner is listed or try the Print & Scan system Prefs.
    For the Printer, have you tried removing it from the list in Print & Scan, and then adding it back?
    "Unable to use" is pretty vague. There could be many reasons you are unable to use the devices. What have you done and what specific things are preventing you from using them? Scanner software doesn't open, Error messages, Printer doesn't show up in Printer list, printer shows up but error when printing, etc.

    HI,
    People who have had computer that has had the Logic/motherboard replaced during repair or refurbishment that has not has the Mac Serial Number Flashed to the board have found that iMessage in particular have not been able to "register".
    A current purchase of Mountain Lion will tend to give you the latest version which as of Thursday (12 th Mar) is OS X 10.8.3
    You can use System Information to find if the Serial Number is there as it appears under the Hardware section.
    If it is missing you need to get to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider who can flash the info to the board.

  • Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?

    is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes

    VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
    I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
    As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.

  • Mountain Lion Server with Network User

    I have a Mountain Lion Server with a network user. The whole system has been redone from Lion Server and on top of that I moved location, ISP, hardware and a few other things. The way I used the setup on Lion was to bind my MBP to the server and login from the MBP login window with the network account. If for whatever reason I wanted to look at the network account on the server, I could fast user swtich and everything that was open ie Safari, Mail, etc would be the same as it was on the MBP.
    Now if I'm logged into the network user on the MBP and then go to the server, it logs in as if I've just booted. They share the home folder and any new files/folders created on one shows on the other. But if Mail is open on the MBP it won't be open on the server.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I believe I got it to work, but,... How do you get the network account users to show up on the login window of the client computer? The login window shows the name of the client computer and the local accounts on the client computer. When I select Other in the login list I can login using a network account user id and it logs in. The network account user names do not show up on the login window

  • Will Mountain Lion work with old models of Time Capsule?

    I was using an online backup service but it slowed down my machine so I want to go to an external drive backup. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am thinking of purchasing an older version of Time capsule for my backups. My question is will mountain lion work with older models of Time Capsule? thanks so much.....

    Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
    Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better.

  • Is it possible to use Snow Leopard on Mountain Lion iMac with Virtualbox ?

    I've been lucky recently, with people giving the perfect solutions for me so I try again.
    But, this one is a tough one: How to run a virtual Snow Leopard on a new iMac ?
    I got a 2013 iMac with Mountain Lion (10.8.5 now) so,  totally incompatible with Snow Leopard. I need SL anyway.
    Give up all you old applications and buy new ones is not acceptable. First, this is not my way of thinking and, second, some cannot be replaced.
    Many posts say that you can use Snow Leopard with VirtualBox but I could not find anywhere the "how to" (in this particular configuration).
    For instance, I followed these 2 protocols, almost similar:
    http://www.maketecheasier.com/install-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-in-virtualbox-on-win dows/
    http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/02/snow-leopard-virtualbox.html
    but they use Windows as host system and something is not working (for me) with Mountain Lion.
    I made many attempts, with VirtualBox 4.2.18, using pretty much everything: Snow Leopard DVD, SL Server DVD, .dmg of both. I've also got Combo 10.6.8 updates for both (but I'm not sure if it can be used before installing). With another MacBook, I managed to install a SLS on external hard drive and update to 10.6.8. Was unable to use it anyway.
    Inevitably, I ended up with the message:
    "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
    I have no idea of what support to use and even, probably  important, if it should be set on Primary or Secondary Master ? (in Settings / Storage)
    Is it possible at all ???
    Would it work better with VMware Fusion ? Anybody successful ?
    Help
    Thanx

    How to install and run OS 10.6 Snow Leopard on a virtual machine on top of OS 10.7 Lion:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/17/install-run-mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-in-virtual -machine-on-lion/
    From kappy:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  Insert the disc into the
             optical drive and restart the computer.  After the chime press and hold down the
             "C" key.  Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
             dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
             OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4.  When the installation has completed your computer will require a restart after
             which you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update
             process by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to
             bring your installation current.
    First you will have to prep your new SSD:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Will an iMac mini and mountain lion work with a touch screen monitor?

    I was wondering if Mountain Lion would work with a touch screen monitor. I have a project in mind and this is a key part to the equation. If any one could help this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I do Not know for certain, but from my understanding, touch screen interfaces require that the OS version used to drive them be "designed" from the beginning to operate within that environment.  Obviously, at this point OS X has Not been designed to function that way (non of the Mac's using it work that way); although the mobile version, iOS 6, used in iPhones and iPads was indeed designed from scratch to operate that way.  So one day sometime down the road it's possible that OS X too will share this ability.  But not yet.
    Hope this helps

  • Will the new 3GHz iMac (24") with GeForce 8800 be good for Aperture v2?

    hi all.
    I've just seen the specs on the new iMac and I'm interested. I was resigned to buying a Mac Pro but found it difficult to justify the cost because I'm not a professional photographer. the new iMac might be good enough at a much more justifiable cost.
    I wonder if anyone has information or opinions regarding the following.
    Will the glossy screen be a nuisance? There is stray light in our living room where I use my computer although we do have venetian blinds on both windows. (don't bother suggesting using the computer in another room. this is Hong Kong where space is scarce and expensive.)
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations? (Aperture was not included in Apple's test comparisons)
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400? on my iMac, transfers to/from my external SATA disks run at only a dismal 13MB/s rather than the ideal 40MB/s. is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    your input and information would be appreciated (and it's probably going to be a common question).
    sincerely,
    Gregory

    Will the glossy screen be a nuisance?
    My expectation (every workspace is different as are individual perceptions) is that the reflective issues of the iMac's glossy screen would be very tolerable. What many (not all) graphics pros including me find intolerable is the fact that glossy displays add contrast and saturation to images. However many, perhaps most, non-graphics-pros prefer the added contrast and saturation, which is why Apple uses those displays. Each individual must do his/her own side-by-side comparisons and determine personal preference.
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations?
    Yes.
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    I believe yes, but that is just a guess since I do not know the card well. Certainly picking an iMac for Aperture usage I would choose the top 24" with the 8800 GS card
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400?
    Yes.
    ...for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    Yes. Best IMO will be to have the AP Library on the internal drive but with Referenced Masters on external FW800 drives. The top iMac allows up to 1 TB internal drive size. Since drives slow as they fill, order a large drive and keep it less than half full to optimize operation.
    ...is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    Pretty much everything impacts AP performance, so the more things you optimize the better. The maximum 4 GB RAM of iMacs, although quite workable, will always be limiting. Good policy is to restart or at least close as many irrelevant applications as necessary prior to an extended Aperture work session.
    Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:

    If you ever do run into performance issues, work to dial in on each of the performance tweaks he discusses.
    As an aside, I too like the MBP (ideally 17" matte screen) as preferable to the iMac because of the portability. Unfortunately cost may make that an unacceptable choice, but I cannot overstate the huge benefits of portability.
    Good luck!
