Please help... Please recommed minimum but good performing Graphics Card

>CM HAF 912
That case comes with 2 fans, front and rear, and the pictures on Newegg show places to mount 2 more fans, top and side
Consider adding those 2 optional fans to blow more air into the box... cooler components generally last longer
>Windows 7 64 Bit
Make sure you get the PRO version to be able to go above 16Gig of ram
>500GB SATA 1st Solid State Drive
I agree with Harm that you do not need that large/expensive a boot drive... I have Win7 64bit Pro and CS5 Master Collection and MS Office Pro and all the "usual" My Documents stuff on my boot drive, and all that only uses 70Gig of space

I also have my Windows swap/page file on my 2nd hard drive... find instructions at http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US

  • Migrate from XP to new machine with Vista

    Could someone please describe how to do this?
    I have backed up the catalogue on an external drive, and installed LR onto the new machine.
    However,searching on here there is advice to copy the preview and thumbs files,which I cannot find.
    Also my presets etc, where should i copy them to? On the xp machine ther are in user name/app data/Lightroom
    o the new machine there is no lightroom folder in username/app data.
    Really confused please help!
    Phil

    Ok Guys (and gals)
    All seems to be well ;-)
    I made sure that my images were in the same directories..a little easier because the are on an external drive...however the drive was recognised as G and not H. So after some fiddling in the admin tools to rename it, all was ok.
    The thing that was puzzling me is that the directories in username/application data/lightroom (where the presets etc are stored in XP) have changed in Vista.
    As others said they are now User name/application data/Roaming/lightroom...but the files are not created until after you first launch LR.
    So I copied the previews folder and catalogue from My Pictures in XP to username/pictures in Vista, which seems to be the default location.
    Then clicking the catalogue file opens LR with that catalogue.
    There are no user presets as yet,but once LR has been started the file location is username/app data/roaming/lightroom/presets.
    Copy all the presets there.
    Then I went through the other files and ensured that I copied any other usefull info,such as preferences,metadata presets, export presets,from the existing folders into the new.
    All i had to do then was re set up my id plate, export presets and go through all the options to make sure all was well.
    The only issue is that I have one directory on my hard drive that is not recognised. Some images were on D,on a partitioned hard drive (C and D). Now I have one drive C.
    But the catalogue still has the folder and the previews so its no hastle just to browse to the new location to fix it.
    So yaaaay! Now just the ballache with Vista (I hope not)
    One final note...called LR tech support for help and was told an email would be sent with the full info what to do. After quite some hours no mail....another call revealed no case id and nothing recorded. Hmmmmm...
    Thanks all who replied and hope this helps others

  • Trouble deleting unselectable user folders on new machine

    I just recently got a new iMac and was switching files into from my older machine. I had folders for each member of the family under the "places" section on the left hand side of the desktop. Now I have those folders there on the new machine, but they are unselectable, and so I can't delete them. I've already  re-copied legitimate family member folders from my LaCie external HD, but I'd love to get rid of the ghost folders. How?

    I had the same problem with migration assistant after a hard disk failure & it wasn't wanting to restore since it was a new computer.  I keep my time machine BU on a time capsule, not a thumb drive, so the first few steps below may vary.
    So, look in shared & see if you can find your time machine drive & double-click to open.  There should be a folder called Data.  Open that.  It will take a while to populate, just wait.
    There should be 1 (or more if you set up a new machine name at some pt) sparsebundle files in there.  Doubleclick the one you want; it will mount a disk image called Timemachine Backups.  That contains a folder called backups.backupdb.  Open that.  It should have your machine name, open that.  There should be a whole bunch of dated folder; pick the most recent one.  Open that.  It should contain a folder with your boot drive name.  Open that.  Then you should find folders with copies of all the folders you have on there.  You can then drag contents to the matching places on your new machine.  Some applications may not install properly this way, but most of mine did.  Those that didn't I had to get the installer disks our or redownload them.
    SO far Time Machine has worked pretty well, except for attempting to fix printer drivers that got hosed by Lion, & got wiped out completly in the repair attempt.  Migration Assistant didn't work.

  • New machine with old system disk????

    Hi
    I've got a first generation Mac Pro and my new 8 core arrives tomorrow. Can I pull out the system disk from the quad core and put it into the new Octo? Will leopard reconfigure itself to work with the new hardware?
    Many thanks
    Nick

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    No. The license for the quad core machine limits the use of the quad core software to a quad core machine. Secondly, even if you did manage to bypass the restrictions of the firmware of the new machines, the drivers are different, and kernel panics, and non-upgradeable systems may persist afterwards. Macs have always in general can only run the system they shipped with and newer systems up to the limits of their hardware. If you must use an older version of an operating system for a software, find an alternative on:
    http://guide.apple.com/
    http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/
    http://www.macupdate.com/
    contact the vendor that is behind on their software development, or buy a used or refurbished Mac * which supports the operating system in question until you can upgrade all your software to be compatible with the operating system that ships with the new Mac. Sell the newer Mac unless you have need for software that will only run on it. Use my Identify your Mac FAQ* to determine the age of the machines you are looking for.

  • Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

    Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

    Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

    Hello
    I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
    i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
    I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
    Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
    I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
    Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
    Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

    First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • COPA document created from billing document, cost components are twice

    Hi Experts,
    Ref Subject line : COPA document created from billing document, cost components are twice.
    I have checked the following :
    1.  Cost Estimate of a material
    2.  Production Confirmation of the Order
    When comparing both of the above, they are same, without variance.
    Now when a COPA document is created, we observe the Cost Component Split in Sales Order to be exactly TWICE as compared to Cost Estimate of the material.
    May I please request help from you all. What must be the cause & where do i check / rectify.
    Regards,
    Hussein.

    Hi Hussein
    If you are seeing double in KE30 Report - May be you are updating both sales order and billing doc in COPA and hence you are seeing 2 line items.. But one of them will be record type A and the other one with F
    If the above is not the case and you are seeing double in the COPA document itself - Then See if you have mapped VPRS cond type in KE4I to the same value fields as Cost Comp Split
    Also, one strong possibility that you are using Batch Split in SD.. .... Which means your delivery document (VL03N) will have multiple batches of materials being delivered to the customer....
    a. In this case, your Item Category for main item (HPOS) and Sub Item (UPOS) has to be different and the Item catg for UPOS should not be relevant for billing / Costs... Note 77414 descirbes this situation and the settings to be done in SD Customizing
    b. You may need to apply note 352441 in your system

  • I own a version of Photoshop CS2 which is no longer supported.  Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

    Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

    Do you mean CS2 won't run on your present operating system?
    Admittedly CS2 is rather old and Adobe no longer supports it, but it should still run on older operating systems.  Which OS do you have?
    Elements is one option.  However if you want PS Extended with all the bells & whistles, look at the $10/mo  Photography plan which includes Lightroom.

  • If we download Illustrator CS6, then afterward have to upgrade to a new machine, will it be transferrable? (We are now using Mac OS X 10.6.8)

    If we download Illustrator CS6, then afterward have to upgrade to a new machine, will it be transferrable?
    We're now using Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    windowman,
    In addition to what OldBob said, these are the system requirements for CS6:
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.
    It may be noted that 10.8 and 19.9 are inherently installed on Intel based systems, so they all apply.

  • I can't seem to get my Windows 7 Box to "see" the NAS where my music and movies are stored.  This ran fine on W XP.  After I installed iTunes on my new machine, I can't get it to "see/recognize" the NAS drive.  5 other computers can.  Any Ideas ?

    I have a mix of Apple and Windows Boxes.  The primary NAS is a 2TB Buffalo Unit.  The back-up NAS is a QNAP with 6TBs (set up as Raid 5).  Until I removed my old 32 Bit Dell machine today, all the rooms in the house got excellent delivery of audio or video, via Apple TVs, which then run into DACs and amps, and the  rest of the gear.  The 32 Bit Box was failing on some boots, so I got a new machine.  I installed 64 Bit iTunes on it, but cannot get it to recognize the NAS Box. It's like the setting took, as I can see it, however, it "appears" that iTunes is looking elsewhere for the media.  I would really prefer not to reload all 850 CDs, and redownload the 56 movies from iTunes.
    Is there something that changed in 64 Bit iTunes ?  years ago, iTunes would sometimes boot and really want to find the music under Documents and Settings..... but that seemed to sort itself out.

  • Can I get my iPhone 4 replaced (in New Delhi, India) if it is out of Apple's 1-year limited warranty?

    My iPhone 4 is around 2 years old now, and it has been working pretty well. But from a few weeks, I am facing problems in the touchscreen. First, the bottom left corner went unresponsive (making me tilt the phone everytime I needed to insert a symbol). The a few days back the entire left edge of the screen got dead. And today, even the bottom edge of the screen has become unresponsive to touch. So you see, the defect is spreading. Typing on my dear phone has become a pain. I have taken utmost care of my phone and the screen is *scratchless*. I have never dropped my phone. There has been no physical damage AT ALL.
    I have seen many discussions where the phone got replaced by a brand new one, but most of then have been in the USA. I am living in New Delhi, India and I would like to know if any such replacement schemes are available here. And if yes, are they applicable in my case? If not replaceable, how much will a new touchscreen cost my pocket here in India?

    If your iPhone was sourced originally in India

  • Error when booting off install disk: "panic: We are hanging here . . ."

    My iBook's working fine except it's very slow (3 years old), so I decided to reinstall the OS.
    When I try loading off my original OS X installation disk, it boots to an error "panic: We are hanging here . . ."
    If I stick the install CD into the iBook while it's on, it reads the CD fine and even offers to reboot off the CD for me. But when I reboot, I get the same panic error.
    When I take the CD out, the iBook loads fine again.
    So my computer still works, but I can't figure out a way to reinstall. Any ideas?
    fyi- I tried Disk Utility on my HD and it passed verification.

    Call Apple Support. They may be able to send you a replacement disc at nominal cost (much less than new). I think you'll need your computer's serial number so they can get the correct one.
    How does the computer handle other CDs? There's the slight possibility it is the drive and not the CD.
    The other thing to do is to try and troubleshoot why your computer is slowing down and at least not to have to immediately worry about getting a new CD. Here's a bunch of reading. However, I wouldn't blindly go running a bunch of utilities but to address things one by one. For example, one major slow down is an over-full hard drive and no utility will help with that.

  • CS2 Quits constantly, new machine, same old problem

    Hello.
    my g5 quad was replaced by apple with a 3.0GHz MacPro and while running certain apps hard, like CS2, Adobe Camera Raw, or Adobe Bridge, they will quit unexpectedly just as they did on the defunct g5 we had.
    I have tried everything, just as i did with my Quad, to repair the situation. reseating the RAM, resetting the PRAM, deleting the cache, running DU to repair permissions/repair the disk, running AHT in loop, AND starting with a fresh OS install. none of my files aside from my music and my photos are from the g5 i had. this is not an importing anomaly.
    i went to the apple store and they told me that this may be because it is running in Rosetta. i also asked them why my 2 year old PC with an single core AMD Athlon64 3500 and 4 GB of PC3200 can run CS2 so much faster than the MacPro (ridiculous to watch but the PC is actually 2 times faster than the apple if set to the same task at the same time), and they said this may also be due to Rosetta and/or leopard not yet being here. i have been assured that Leopard and CS3 will fix all this. i don't know what to do. i don't want to bring the machine back again. i feel so badly because those guys have tried so hard to help us because they know it is (was) our business machine and that we bought it to speed up our work flow. unfortunately, i don't think the machine is capable of that kind of thing, and i don't trust it to do much anymore. Apple has been very kind to us, and so have their people, but the machines we have used have not been quite so kind or helpful once our troubles began.
    i'm not into fighting the holiday crowds for parking and lugging a 40 pound machine around... and frankly, i would be pretty upset if i were on the apple team and saw me back at the store with the brand new machine after all the hard work they put in to help us.
    i've stopped using the apple machine as i am afraid to push it hard for my business or multi-task. as a photographer, i am certain that i am not pushing it as hard as a videographer would be. but, i can't run more than CS2 and maybe a web browser (firefox 2.0 is very slow and unresponsive on this machine) without it slowing down... or crashing a program altogether and losing all my work. CS2 is what i use...
    so, i've resumed work on my windows machine, and basically use the apple as a storage device/paper weight. that was a $5000+ mistake our business has made, and it's tough to recover from that in my business with one PC based machine that works and an awfully expensive apple paperweight.
    NED SNOWING wrote back to me and had this to say:
    "hey said this may also be due to Rosetta and/or leopard not yet being here. i have been assured that Leopard and CS3 will fix all this.
    This is correct. As all PowerPC applications, like Adobe CS2, have to run through a software "translation" layer everything is slowed down for that application. This is why CS2 apllications run no better than the G5s on the Mac Pro. However, once the like of Adobe etc release their applications as Universal or Intel binary applications you'll see the performance skyrocket forward.
    Due to Apple's accelerated transition the like of Adobe have in actual fact been caught a little short in their developement timings. Be aware that the use of Rosetta for applications is only temporary.
    By the way, there's no reason that you could run Windows under Boot Camp on the Mac Pro in the meantime.
    Mac Pro 2.66GHz 3GB/5x300GB (see bio)/ATi X1900 XT/AE/BT ; Dell 2405FPW Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro 15.4" C2D 2.16GHz 2GB/120GB/Glossy ; Mac mini CD 1.66GHz 2GB/80GB/SD"
    My question stands at this:
    still, i do not understand why the machine is so dramatically slower than my 2 year old PC with a single core AMD64 XP3500 and 4 GB of PC3200 AND 2 near full 80GB IDE hard drives.
    the Quad was ridiculously fast. it was so fast that i thought there was something worng with it. i never wanted to use my windows machine again and then it failed and failed and deleted our data and failed again...
    if i am understanding you correctly, you're saying that this machine SHOULD run CS2 at a rate on par at least with the Quad... well, i invite you to show me what i am doing wrong, PLEASE. The failure of the Quad crippled our business, and now this machine has put us at a $5000+ deficit without anything to show for it. It takes me more time to use the Mac than my PC… IN CS2… and your statement is that the MacPro should run at speeds equal to or at least comparable to the g5. Mine doesn’t. and I am not at all happy about having to bring a brand new machine they replaced along with my PC to the store to demonstrate how slow their stuff is when the Quad blew this heap away AND could multitask. The Apple guys at the store have been great, and this just plain stinks to have to bring back a machine that's supposed to be working and isn't, AFTER being replaced. it's pretty damned embarrassing.
    no errors in AHT, Mem test is fine. 2 500GB hard drives, primary drive has 400GB free when i am not working on a project. 250GB when i am. all my stuff is backed up on Terabyte Servers. the replacement machine they gave us had 2GB of RAM (4-512 sticks) and the Apple Store installed 2 1GB sticks as the machine we turned in was equipped as such.
    please, please, please help me.

    while running certain apps hard, like CS2, Adobe Camera Raw, or Adobe Bridge, they will quit unexpectedly just as they did on the defunct g5 we had.
    The I would say that you're installing some software that is problematic else you used the Migration Assistant to get your data from one to the other. Either way, I would clean install the system and install a minimum of software to ensure that the system is stable before adding to it. I find it hugely unlikely that two completely different systems to exhibit the exact same issue.
    Additionally, if you have installed Adobe Version Cue 2 then that might well be your problem.
    still, i do not understand why the machine is so dramatically slower than my 2 year old PC with a single core AMD64 XP3500 and 4 GB of PC3200 AND 2 near full 80GB IDE hard drives.
    Have you ever had a conversation with someone with whom you did not have a common language and had to use a translator? This is the situation that Apple has with Rosetta (where Rosetta is the translator). If you take into account these mechanics you can't expect this scenario to have a conversation as quick as two people talking in a common language, even if one of the parties isn't very good at that language.
    if i am understanding you correctly, you're saying that this machine SHOULD run CS2 at a rate on par at least with the Quad
    No… I'm not saying that. What I said was that the Mac Pro should perform equivalently to a low end G5. I would expect a 3GHz MP to be roughly equivalent to a 2.3GHz DC PowerMac G5 in the best case. To expect more than that with Rosetta in the picture would be rather delusional.
    I am not at all happy about having to bring a brand new machine they replaced along with my PC to the store to demonstrate how slow their stuff is when the Quad blew this heap away AND could multitask.
    I wouldn't be best pleased about that either although I don't really know what you're expecting any of us to say. As I said earlier my best advise would be to erase the boot/application drive and then install everything new and from the original CDs/DVDs. If under the simplest setup possible you still experience crashing then I would contact Adobe or which ever software developer for the problematic application(s).
    Otherwise, just return the thing, eat the restocking fee and wait until Adobe CS3 is released.

  • Safari problems on new machine

    Hello. I just bought a Dual-core G5 and am having some issues with Safari (and to a lesser extent, Firefox). I have none of these problems on my G4 Powerbook, and they're both running the very latest OS updates.
    Here are the issues:
    1. When I log out of Hotmail, it doesn't log out completely and go back to the MSN Homepage. Instead, it gets stuck on an "almost logged out page" with two buttons at the bottom -- "Try Again" and "Done". The same thing happens in Firefox, actually -- but only on this new machine. There must be some browser setting needed to automatically get past this, but I've got cookies fully-enabled, etc. Any ideas?
    2. I think that whatever setting is affecting #1 is also affecting my ability to log into FREDMIRANDA.COM. When I try to log in there, it accepts my username & password and tells me I successfully logged in. But I really haven't been logged in because when I go to read a forum that requires login, it tells me to log in again. No matter how many times I log in, however, the site doesn't recognize it.
    3. Whenever I start up Safari on my new machine, which happens to have two monitors, the browser window ALMOST goes back to where I'd placed it before -- in the upper-left corner of the 2nd monitor. Why doesn't it go EXACTLY to that loction, which is where it was when the program last shut down.
    If you can help me figure out what's going on and how to fix it, I'd certainly appreciate it...

    another thing you might try is (after quitting safari) opening up:
    /applications/safari.app/contents/resources/english.lproj/brower.nib
    in interface builder and ensuring that the browser window is positioned where you want it. save the layout. note that this will affect all users.
    on the other hand, this might be a multi-monitor issue (can't help there).
    hmm...this other business is peculiar. it'd probably be better to start with firefox, since it's more self-contained. are you sure all your settings are identical on both versions? running:
    diff -u g4firefoxprefsfile g5firefoxprefsfle
    should give you a quick overview.
