Open gl driver for 8600m under Mac OSX

Hey,
Does anyone know when Apple would update the opengl driver for 8600m in SR MBP?
Are the planning to update it for gaining performance?

Mate, u gave a very interesting reply~
As I know, many laptop manufactures suffers updating driver with their products (or they stop updating driver after a year). As a result, consumers are forced to use official driver. However, ATI and nVidia also prevent end users to install their lastest driver on any laptop products. This is annoying us that have to search the "crack" inf on the Internet in order to install the latest driver.
Although Apple did not accurately announce the performance and functions of 8600m, usually, people estimate/expect these performance from reading review or benchmark from similar products. The performances of a piece of computer are depend on hardware itself as well as software. Driver is the main key to determine how would the hardware would perform. Unfortunately, todays they are selling their product by promoting the name of the hardware. Without much knowledge in computer, consumers do not know these performance software issues behind these hardware. Personally speaking, I suggests that this kind of inconsistency is a kind of misrepresentation in commercial activity. I wish that there is a kind of law would state that these computer products must provide or will provide a mature driver (which at least 80% of what the hardware claimed) within 3 months after the product release on the market.
regards from a law student.
Anyway, please tell us what u get from calling apple.

  • Printer Driver for c4680 using Mac OSX 8.5

    I have a Mac Book Pro with OSX 8.5 and have an old HP Photosmart c4680 printer that I want to use.  I have tried to download the driver for this printer and get an error message that says "Can't install the software for the HP Photosmart C4600 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  Does this mean that there is no driver for this OS X 8.5?  Thanks

  • Which drive for XP? mac osx or data?

    What would you pros do in this case? Install XP on a small 20gig partition on a 320gig data drive that is shared between both OSs? Install it on an extra big drive all by it's lonesome, or install it on a partition on the MacOS 320gig drive? Just not sure if there is a "smart" way of organizing these OSs on the same machine.
    Any takers on this?

    Hi,
    here's what I did:
    I have Windows installed on a partitionend second 320GB HD and gave it 200GB while I use the remaining 100GB as an OSX 'play and testing ground'.
    I would suggest to go with more than the 20GB just to avoid the neccessity to repartion that drive later when you run out of space with Windows.
    And if you plan to maybe upgrade to Vista some time later, then 20GB is way too small.
    And on a MAc Pro I would never install Windows on the same HD as my main OSX is.
    Regards

  • Open port 21 for ftp in mac osx server 10.6

    Hello
    I want to open port 21. The firewall in the mac server is already off.The ftp server is enabled in this mac server. The NAT in the router is set accordingly to the internal IP of this MAC computer (OS X Server 10.6). However, whenever I try http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ to check whether the port 21 is open or not, it still says that the port is closed.
    Any idea?
    Thanks a lot

    well if your trying to connect to the host, without an active network port you could try connecting with localhost or 107.0.0.1. You could also try deleting the ethernet interface and re-adding it. And or hard coding the ethernet interface to static ip.

  • Reproducible Shockwave player error under Mac OSX 10.6.3

    I develop Shockwave "jigsaw" puzzles with Director.  Sample at kayingleside.com.  My clients are experiencing problems with the most recent Shockwave player under Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.  Play a jigsaw at the above web site to experience the problem. 
    When you click on a puzzle piece it vanishes.  You can drag the mouse around as you would to move the puzzle piece but it is difficult to position correctly as the piece is invisible.  When you release the mouse button the piece reappears correctly in it's repositioned location. 
    I can reproduce this behavior myself on a Mac 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.  2 GB 800 MHz DDR-2 FB-DIMM;  OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3;   Shockwave  player 11.5.9r620.  The problem does NOT appear when playing the jigsaw puzzle within Director 11 under Snow Leopard nor  when running OSX 10.5.8.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

    Hello,
    Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
    when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
    Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
    application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
    paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
    Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
    but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
    try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
    So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
    the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
    And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
    The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
    http://transtoba2.seige.net/
    And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
    Best regards
    Leander

    The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
    http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
    It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
    In summary
    OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
    To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
    To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
    To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
    Hope this works for you

  • Bluetooth drivers driver for lion 10.7 OSX

    I deleted my blue tooth drivers on accident and my key board and bluetooth device want work How do I reinstall the driver for lion 10.7 OSX?

    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry.

  • Use external drive for windows and mac

    Hello,
    I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
    the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
    to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
    Thanx.

    If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.

    Where can I find a print driver for my e-mac running os9.2

    Actually the best place is the web site for the printer. You'll also need the model, but there are still some OS9 drivers out there.
    You must supply the printer make and model for people here to help further.

  • Use same external drive for itunes in mac and windows?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Air that has bootcamp and I use 99% of my time under Windows 7.
    All of my music and movies are on an external hard drive and I have a problem using
    it for iTunes under Windows and the Mac at the same time.
    Is it possible to have both versions point to the same external drive?
    I tried almost everything but it fails as the file paths are stored once and for all in
    the iTunes library file.
    When booting under OS/X and opening iTunes, it loads the .itl file and shows all music
    but of course it doesn't see anything since the path under OS/X has nothing to do with
    the one under Windows.
    My iTunes lib was created under Windows and all files are stored in a variation of:
    J:\Private\My Music\iTunes[Rock | Classical | Soundtracks]
    Under OS/X of course the path is totally different:
    /Volumes/DRIVE_J/Private/My Music/iTunes/[Rock | Classical | Soundtracks]
    Now if I reimport everything in iTunes for OS/X it will change all the paths and then
    Windows will not be able to fetch the files.
    Isn't there a way to have relative paths so both the OS/X and Windows versions
    of iTunes work flawlessly without caring at all about which OS is running?
    This is driving me nuts.
    I'm not talking about Sharing an iTunes library over a network. I want to share the
    same physical folder between Windows and OS/X
    Thanks for any help.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1.0 Error accessing preferences under Mac OSX 10.5.7

    On my Intel iMAC under German Mac OSX 10.5.7 or 10.5.6 I can not open the preferences (in German:Voreinstellungen) of Adobe Reader 9.1.0, I am always getting an error:
    "Fehler beim Laden einer Anwendungsresource" (Error while accessing a program resource ?)
    Updating or re-installing Adobe Reader does not solve the problem. I can open .pdf documents without any error.
    Who can help ?

    I had already deleted the preference-file, but still the same error.
    There is another problem-report (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1771582#1771582), describing the same problem together with printing-problems.
    It turns out, that the filesystem on my internal hard drive (which is formatted case sensitive), is the troublemaker, as described in the 1771582 report, because I also can not install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on this iMac (wrong file system).
    It's strange, but ADOBE does not seem to support case sensitive formatted Mac OSX hard-drives, this causing trouble with Adobe Reader and Photoshop CS3 Install.
    I will re-format the Internal hard-drive (with no case sensitive) later and let you know the result

  • Continuous Kernel Panic and heavy instability for my iMac Mac OSX 10.6.8

    Two or three days after the second upgrade to Mac OSX 10.6.8 my iMac started with instability.
    Hour after hour the system stability degenerate affecting all the applications, the Finder and at the end with all the user's accounts of my family.
    The problem started with Mozilla that was unable to launch flash player on youtube asking for an update, I switched to Safari, but after a first video without problem I obtained the same result (the plugin stopped to work). Then Firefox and Safari did become unstable and crashed all the time also looking to other website. Nor other application was affected at that moment.
    I downloaded and installed Google Chrome. After few minutes of normal behaviour the same thing happened to Chrome. It doesn't crash but it is impossible to see any single web page (session crash).
    In few minutes any single application started to become unstable, crashing all the time.
    Finally a grey shutter appears on the screen with written in different languages something like: you have to reboot manually your system maintaining the power button for a while.
    It seems as a strong Virus (on a mac? it is possible? and no one report this in internet?).
    Hour after hour the situation becomes unmanageable. Finder crashes, Dock crashes if only I try to ope application folder and restart, antivirus are stopped or crashes when I try to make a full scan of the disc. When some application attempt to use the network it crashes.
    I did try to use Time Machine to restore the system at the date 25/7, when all worked fine for sure. Nothing. Time Machine crashes as soon as I try to restore the system at the date.
    At the end I - desperate - took the original DVD of my iMac and make several attempts to reinstall all tfrom scratch.
    Nothing to do. A strange message appears: "The Mac OS X Installation couldn't be completed" and an error log appears.
    Let me summarize the message in the log (what I think is relevant):
    Process:      LCA
    Path:           /System/Installation/CDIS/LCA.app/Contents/MacOS/LCA
    COde Type: X86-64 (Native)
    Application Specific Information:
    *** error for object =0x....: incorrect checksum for fread object - object was probably modified after being fread.
    Thread 0 crashed:
    < follows threads items reverse history >
    It seems to me that this means there is a strong Virus affecting my Mac. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
    What appear strange to me is the fact that the OS X installation program cannot proceed. How it is possible if the source code is read from a DVD?
    If a virus affect my iMac it should be activated by normal bootstrap of the system, not with a boot from CD.
    Please help me. Now I finished ideas.

    I suggest you might try some maintenance on the system:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Delete caches to resolve some startup problems:
    Boot into single-user mode.  After startup is completed you will be in command line mode and should see a prompt with a cursor positioned after it.  At the prompt enter the following then press RETURN after each commandline:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    If you receive a message that says "***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****" then re-run the command until you receive a message that says "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK."  If you re-run the command more than seven times and do not get the OK message, then the drive cannot be repaired this way.
    If you were successful then enter:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*
    rm -rf /Library/Caches/*
    reboot
    I suggest you print out the above to be sure you do not make any errors when entering the commands.  When in single-user mode you have 'root' access, so it's important that you not make any mistakes.
