Hello gator2468,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
My first suggestion would be to triple check that you are plugging the headphones in all the way. If that isn't the case, try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo appears.

External graphics cards

I have read some information about this Thunderbolt port and some people are say that there is no reason why we cant have a external graphics card for the 2011 mac's Surly this would be a great addition esp if it was a apple upgrade as this could potential move apple in to a different direction with PC gamers.
Either way back to the point of the question, will this ever happen, is it even possible??

It's certainly possible as Thunderbolt is basically an external PCI Express port... the same port that an internal card would typically connect to. However, just having access to the systems PCI bus isn't enough, there would need to be driver support to allow switching between the internal and external cards... as well as drivers for the external card itself. While it may happen sometime, I wouldn't expect to see anything in the near future. There are very few Thunderbolt devices at this point. Developing an external card which will rival the internals in performance is going to be an expensive process and it may not be considered economically viable. The current video cards (especially in the upper end 15" and 17" machines) are actually quite gaming capable. To get performance similar to today's highend desktops, you're going to need an external power supply as well. Those cards use a significant amount of power to get that performance. You're more likely to see the same gradual increase in notebook GPU performance that we typically see over the years.

Is it possible to add external graphics cards via thunderbolt on a 2011 MBPro?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, quad core, RAM maxed at 16gb, 250 SSD, and SSHD to replace optical drive, but wanted to know if there was a way to add an external graphics card via Thunderbolt for more screens and faster work in VIDEO editing on-the-go?!?!
Is this possible? can anyone give me any advice that would help me.
I DO have a 2006 Mac Pro that I've also maxed out and it's STILL a BEAST and i love using it... but wanted to see how i could increase my macbook pro too, seeing it can run mavericks and ALL my adobe CC apps too.
Thanks so much for ANY suggestions!!

External Graphics Card?

Hello. I am currently running the Macbook Pro non-retina display, 13 inch screen with intel core I5 processers. I decided that I was going to put Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack One onto my computer via bootcamp, so that I would be able to play Battlefield 3 on my mac. Now before any of you recommend that I just buy a whole new computer, I do not have the budget currently to do this. My budget is 100-250 dollars. I have the built in Intel Hd 4000 GPU, and as many of you probably already know, is a terrible card. I play Battlefield 3 on low settings, and average 18 FPS. I am looking for an external graphics card capable of running this game better then my current graphics card. I haven't been able to find much in google, and I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

I emailed a Silverstone representative and I found out that they're expecting to release the T004 in the first quarter of 2014. I'm guessing that they'll release it in time for CES, which goes from 7th to the 10th of January. Although, it's expected to cost somewhere between $200 for it, and that's not counting the cost of the graphics card, which will be at least $50 for a good one and I'm not sure if Silverstone will include a Thunderbolt cable, which could be another $30-40 expense. So, in total you're looking at a minimum of $250, but that definitely beats buying another computer. I'm also looking forward to the release of the T004, because my Mac also has only integrated graphics, which aren't good when you're playing StarCraft for a couple hours a day. I think I'll get a GTX 650 for it. It'll be great for StarCraft!
Regarding compatibilty, I'm sure it will be fine. I know that MSI was working on the GUS II, which is similar to the T004. They were able to get it to work on a Mac running Windows by making a driver which tricked the computer into thinking the GPU was connected through PCIE. The Silverstone representative I emailed also said that the T004 will be 100% Mac-Compatible.

How can I measure the Graphics Card usage? I.e. percent load

Hello,
How can I measure the Graphics Card usage, like with the processor in Task Manager, but instead giving a percentage usage for the graphics card instead? Is there an easy way to do this, or would it require a lot of code? Is it even possible?

Ah, so It's unlikely that Java3D will include anything for reading this data then? I was really aiming at measuring the GPU usage under this API which although i have limited knowledge using, I do at least have some knowledge - I wouldn't have a clue how to access any other API's!
I'm using an NVidia TNT2 card at the moment, which is quite old.

How to switch to the Graphic HD in WIN7?

How to switch to the Graphic HD in WIN7?

When Windows is running, I believe the discrete GPU is always active. I'm not 100% certain that's true of the current models, but it has been true of all previous MBPs that had two GPUs.

Can we add external graphic card on macbook pro

can we add graphic card to my macbook pro late 2011
i7 processor

Not yet, no. MSI is showing an early demonstration of a Thunderbolt peripheral that will host an external graphics card, so there may be a solution eventually though it currently is Windows-only. See:

Multi-screen with a powerbook G4 ? need an external graphic card or ...?

hi
im on powerbook G4 of 2003.
want to have either a very large display screen(28 or even 30 fts)or maybe two or three external screens ...dunno yet , depends of your answers ...
is a 1920x1200 resolution like the 28 fts viewsonic screen will overload my internal graphic card ? if not ? can i try an 30 fts even if i will not use the native 2500x ... resolution of course ..
if yes ,any of you guys know an external graphic card , powerfull enough to support 2 external screens ? any recommandations ?
ty all for your help

Assuming your PB is the original 2003-vintage with a 1.0G video processor and 64MB of video memory, the Apple spec sheet shows this:
===========
Video and graphics support
--NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go graphics processor
with AGP 4X support and 64MB of DDR SDRAM
video memory for 2D/3D graphics acceleration
--Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously
supports up to 1440 by 900 pixels on the built-in
display and up to 2048 by 1536 pixels on an
external display, both at millions of colors5
--DVI output port
===========
Yours may have an ATI video chipset; run System Profiler from your Utilities folder to find your exact video processor details.
Beyond that, you may need to contact ViewSonic to see if there are any "gotchas" that would prevent one of their monitors from working on a 1G machine.
This Cardbus adaptor:

Gives you another display port with 32MB VRAM.

MOVED: Fans on full speed after graphics card removal

This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=253215.0

Quote from: CalcMasterH on 15-February-15, 11:45:39
Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the graphics card.
So a few weeks ago, my NVIDIA video card was damaged. Short-circuited or something, but there's a burn mark over one of the modules and it was preventing my computer from turning on. It had to be taken out or replaced, and because I didn't want to spend the money replacing it, I opted to remove it and just use my integrated graphics card in my laptop.
However, now the fans in my laptop are running at full speed all the time, regardless of CPU/GPU temperature. I've searched over several forums for a solution, and I've looked into several different programs, including MSi Afterburner, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, SpeedFan, Riva Tuner, and RWEverything, but to no avail. Most of them require a video card in order to control the fan speeds, but since I don't have one in my computer, I can't change anything. I've also looked into the BIOS, but it doesn't appear to have any fan controls.
I'm pretty sure the fans are running at full speed because they can't get temperature data from the (missing) card.
Laptop:
- MSi GT60 0NE
- (Had a) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M
- Integrated Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000
- Running Windows 8
Any help would be appreciated, and I can provide more info if needed! Thanks!
Have you checked if your bios have a graphics switch or w.e it's called where you can switch from Nvidia to UMA GPU = Intel gpu ? if your laptop dont have that then nvm about it

[p7-1240] How can I tell which graphics cards will work with my motherboard?

I recently went through the nightmare of trying to install a Gigabyte GTX 650 in my PC. After a few days of struggling and scouring the internet for answers, I discovered that it is incompatible with the BIOS on my motherboard, and HP does not offer BIOS updates. I returned the card and am now looking for a new one, but I am unsure of which cards will work now, since my computer met all of the system requirements for the graphics card, and It stil ldid not work. Since GPU manufacturers do not list BIOS specs under system requirements, how can I tell if a graphics card will work with my sytem?
My computer is a p7-1240 with an upgraded 520W PSU and approximeately 11" of room to install the card.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thexn, welcome to the forum.
The problem is, many of the newer video cards require the computer to have a full UEFI BIOS. HP began using one in mid-October, 2012. Before this date the BIOS is Legacy. This is why the video card didn't work with your computer.
I don't know what you want to spend for a card, but MSI makes a GTX 750ti that has a hybrid VBIOS. It has a switch to change to Legacy or UEFI. There is a video link directly below the picture of a card. Paul from Newegg gives a full description of the card.
I like EVGA cards the best. Their Tech Support has given me a lot of information about their cards. However, you have to go back to a GT 640 card to find one of their cards that doesn't require the UEFI BIOS. They do have some updates for their BIOS'es that solve the problem, but you have to call them for the exact cards.

PXI External Graphic Card

Hi Guys,
I have a PXIe system, currently running in RT. Now, there is a requirement for the PXIe system to have up to graphic output to control some instruments. I came across these cPCI cards:
1. http://ekf.de/s/sv1/sv1.html
2. http://ekf.de/c/cgxa/cv2/cv2.html
Based from my understanding, SV1 is a card that acts as a garphic card for the system as you can insert an AMD card somewhere on the card. CV2 card, on the other hand, is just as an extended display output. I've emailed the OEM, and their feedback are as follows:
"For CV2, VGA resources have to be released by the BIOS, we have the experience already that NI CPU boards are not able to release resources for our VGA board. Anyway, our hardware contains standard Intel hardware same as a PC. And we have customers, using cPCI serial http://ekf.de/s/sc1/sc1.html with a hybrid backplane for a PXIe DSP board and mixing with cPCI serial peripheral boards. This would be the right Graphics board: http://ekf.de/s/sv1/sv1.html"
So, I'm not sure whether it can be used or not. If it is possible to use one of these two cards with a NI PXIe system, I'm also planning to convert my RT system to Hypervisor. The Windows portion is specifically meant to handle these cards while the rest of the program and processing resource still maintain in the RT system. Will this work?
I'm attaching the datasheets for these two cards, for your reference. Any advice or feedback?

Why not???
If its possible to connect such card to the notebook, then I dont see any serious reasons why you shouldnt be able to use it.
But as far as I know this external card can be used only with the external display (monitor) because the internal notebooks display is already taken by internal graphic card.

How to properly configure a graphics card for Adobe Premiere Pro, SpeedGrade, and After Effects?

Alright, so I have the following system configuration:
2 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970s
5960X CPU
MSI X99 Gaming 7 Motherboard
32 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB and 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSDs
Basically, although I have the whole system built together, I'm unsure how to check and know whether or not Adobe Premiere Pro is actually using the graphics card or not. I know that it has to be using some of it, otherwise it wouldn't launch properly (as I discovered from a recent experience.) However, I don't know if there are, perhaps, certain settings within the NVIDIA control panel that should be configured so that Premiere Pro can use the card to its full potential. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
In other words, these are (I'm pretty sure) all of the default settings that the control panel applies to Premiere Pro. However, I'm not sure if there are any settings in here that I need to change or not. So what I'm looking for in a response to this question:
What settings, if any, should I change for Premiere Pro (as well as other adobe applications that can utilize all the strength of the GTX 970)?
How can I check the GPU activity to know that it's being used during a render? (For example, I can check the CPU utilization with the Task Manager while I render to see that it's being utilized to 100%).
If, perhaps, something else goes wrong and even with the right settings, let's say the card still isn't being fully utilized, what other settings might I have to change to make sure that the GTX 970 is being fully used by Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects/SpeedGrade CC 2014?

If you want a benchmark to measure the performance of Premiere Pro's utilization of your: disk system, GPU and CPU use our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM)
When you finish running the test and then run the script, you will get this report
This happens to be the result of my laptop (with SSD drives and a GTX 765M GPU)
The disk performance is self explanatory.
Number 2 is a seven layer very complex timeline with heavy CPU and GPU assistance, without GPU hardware acceleration (CPU only) it would take greater than 1350 seconds.
Three above is a measure of a exaggerated timeline using many, many GPU MPE accelerated effects and features that will use a GPU at 99% load (54 seconds above) and a CPU only export of the same timeline (802 seconds).
If you want to compare your results to others you have to register on the PPBM7 site to see the results.
EDIT! I corrected the number in 2 above originally I said 900 seconds but really it was greater than 1350 seconds
