OSX 10.5 and ATI X800 any issues?

All,
Wanted to check if anyone has updated their G5 with aftermarket video cards like the ATI X800, 9800 MAC/PC, etc. In the OSX 10.5 forum some users have mentioned that the are having some graphic glitches

I've been having the same INFURIATING problem with my 1.8 dual Tower.
An x800 ATI card (256VRAM) with 2.5GBs of system RAM, and full screen video through Front Row and Full Screen Quicktime is totally unwatchable!
(That same tearing effect about half way through the screen, just as Rob Meyer described. But also the progress bar in Front Row is just a white stripe instead of a blue line with a moving dot.)
But you know what the absolute CRAZY thing is? When I play those very same video files in iTunes full screen, they play flawlessly!
The issue exists ONLY with Front Row or Full Screen Quicktime.
The latest ATI drivers (10.4 was the latest version) made no difference at all. Booting from a Tiger drive still produced the same issue with Quicktime in full screen.
The only thing that did help? Lowering the resolution of my 30" Apple Cinema Display from 2560 x 1600 to 1920 x 1440 (stretched). Which needless to say, is Unacceptable.
I'm not holding my breath for ATI to address the issue. I just PRAY Apple's 10.5.2 update does.
Please Apple!? Please, please, please fix my drivers? I wanna watch my iTunes video with front row!

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear

HT201250 The initial backup is taking 2 days. Can I stop and restart without any issues?

Just got an iomega external hard disk backup and the initial backup is said to take two days. Can I stop and restart without any issues?

On a big backup, the initial estimate is often wrong and gets better after a little while. But, yeah, there is a "Stop backing up" command in the Time Machine menu, right? That is safe as far as I know.

HT1338 I have a new MacBook. Pro and never had any issues until yesterday. I can not get it to complete its cycle to. Turn on, where I can log in like normal. I read the reboot in the little manual, but nothing. Please help!!!!!

So what happens when you boot it up? What do you get?

I want an iPhone 5 and have checked my local retailer and can get it in December (backordered). My question is: If I order one online, a) will it arrive quicker than Dec and b) will I be able to take it to them and activate without any issues?

Firstly, if you order online from the Apple Store, I assume you will be using an "upgrade" discount, right? If yes, there is no doubt that your service provider will accept you new iPhone 5 without question. Secondly, I think you will see an shipped by date as you order online, and thus will know if the date is better than your local retailer.

Leopard + ATI X800 display issues

I have a G5 Dual 2.7Ghz G5 with an ATI X800 XT, we run the computer as an edit suite and cut TV on it.
I currently have it setup with 2 boot disks with Tiger and Leopard. As its a production machine we have been using Tiger exclusively but I've had Leopard running for testing.
Previously I had noticed a green noise on the right display (both Dell 24's) only in Leopard, that was only in 10.5. Tiger continued to run with out any issues or noise.
Today I booted into Leopard and found, after it fell to sleep and was then woken I got this -
[img]http://www.lotech.co.nz/images/IMG_0035.jpg[/img]
[img]http://www.lotech.co.nz/images/IMG_0038.jpg[/img]
It would seem to be driver related as the system is still completely stable. I don't think its overheating, as my first X800 was replaced for that and the noise is very different.

Although I read about problems with this combination and the 30" Cinema Display - I went ahead and upgraded to Leopard. I did see some "pink flashes", until after updating to 10.5.4. Now everything seems fine and I don't see ANY problems. I did not install the ATI Displays software.

CS4 GPU Accelleration and ATI X800

My Photoshop CS4 does not allow me to turn on the GPU accelleration, the checkbox is greyed out. This is on Vista 64 with latest updates and with or without ATI catalyst. My card is ATI X800 PCIe. This card has pretty good 2D performance and I believe it also has OpenGL 2 support, and I don't see why it does not work. Does anybody have similar experience or an idea for troubleshooting? So far I only tried reinstalling drivers.

Running the latest driver? That's the first advice you'll get but that may not help. There are a couple of registry toggles you can to turn on/off GPU features. Here's a link.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb406921
You'll find these registry toggles disscussed in some forum threads if you do a search.
With 256MB of RAM on your card, you'll be limited in what acceleration features you'll get as well as the number of open files you can run accelerated. See this Adobe Tech Note which has some details on troubleshooting that may or may not help you:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404898
Here's a list of the cards Adobe has tested (yours isn't on the list):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405711
Even if you do get OpenGL running with your card, you'll probably want to upgrade to one with more onboard memory. I'm still trying to home in on what cards offer a good price/performance specifically for Photoshop CS4 acceleration.

Mac Pro FirePro D700 running CS6 OnLocation and Encore. Any Issues?

Hey everyone,
I'm attempting to help someone out with a purchase of a new Mac Pro. They do alot of video work and currently are using Adobe CC2014 as well as CS6 for OnLocation and Encore.
They would like to get a new Mac Pro running OS 10.10.2, the dual FirePro D700 6GB video cards, 1 TB SSD and the 64GB ram.
Doing some reading, it looks like the CC 2014 apps should work just fine, but what about the older CS6 OnLocation and Encore? are there any performance issues or stability issues with theses program with the FirePro D700?
Just like to hear some experiences before he takes the plunge and spends the money on the MacPro
Thanks in advance!

I installed an ati 5870 and fcp 7 wont run, it says no vram. so I reinstalled the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. This card however doesnt support my 46" sony bravia client monitor via vdi to hdmi (with adapter) is there anyway to make it do that (patch, driver, tweek to card)? also what other card should I get that will support the 30" apple display and the sony. I have another system luckily thats newer that I work on with clients, but I dont want to foresake the other mac pro yet. is the 5770 going to work? Please let me know what you think, I greatly appreciate it. Also my system profile doesnt say I have pci express 2.0 on either my old or new mac pros.
why are there no patches for this card, updates, drivers? nada. let me know. thank you.

*Is it possible to run the factory NVIDIA 7300 GT side-by-side with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 to achieve a three monitor setup?*
Yes with OSX. There may be problems with Boot Camp.

Sony PMW-EX1 and FCS 2 - any issues?

After being hooked by the Creative Cow on the Sony PMW EX1, and then doing some more research on the Prosumer camcorder, I'm really interested in this unit. Cost appears to be about the same as the Panasonic AG-HVX200 $5800 or so. But what I like most is the true 1920 x 1080 resolution the Sony provides.
BUT, heard some rumors that the Sony doesn't get along so well with FCS 2 ?
Opinion most welcome.
Thanks, Rob.

Hi Rob,
although this post is answered, I have some feedback on ex 1 cam. I am in Australia and have had the camera for around one month. I have shot some footage around town but only on 35mb vbr setting as i don't want to water down quality.
the camera is very heavy in the hand but no real issues. onscreen histogram helpful too. i played out footage to local tv station camerapeople and they were very impressed. i did this on a bravia 3100 full hd set by component hd in(btw) very little artifacts on movement.
On capture though it is a little bit of a leg exercise to bring stuff into fcp6.02. You must have all latest software 6.02 installed and sony transfer software etc.
I tried usb from camera to mac pro and it is very(too) slow. on my mbpro i used express slot and it is very fast and easy.
Therefore if you have both mbp and mp comps you should target you mac pro into MBP and then capture direct from SxS card to your capture scratch folder which is very fast.
THIS WILL BE A POPULAR FIX AND SAVES BUYING A CARD READER(V.EXPENSIVE)
Of course if you don't have a MBP, you are in the clag, so to speak.
I am really surprised these cameras are not available freely yet.
cheers

Maverick OS and Netflix. Any issues?

Netflix has stopped working on my iMac since I installed Maverick. iTunes and Apple TV are still operating, and Netflix opens but won't load content. 'm not sure if there's a connection, but has anyone encountered the same issue?

Yeah, me too. I contacted Netflix and they said to uninstall and reinstall microsoft Silverlight.

2 printers on wireless, any issues 7520 a4 and 7612 a3

Hi,
I have an a4 printer; photo smart 7520, which I use primarily for a4 related documents. It is connected wireless to my laptop. I am now planning to purchase a3 printer office jet 7612 primarily for a3 documents.
I would like to know can I have both printers connected wireless to my laptop?
And are there any issues when doing this.
Much appreciated, as always

Scan for nearby networks in your neighborhood using a tool such as InSSIDer or Vistumbler and see if there are any other networks operating on the same channel as your Wireless network. If there are, see if you can set the router to broadcast on the least busy channel in your neighborhood. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the best to use.
Oh, and I would switch to WPA2 if possible.

Updates on 27" iMac - question on any issues following updates

I have become very wary about just clicking the button to download updates on prompt on my 27" iMac following a series of problems with 10.6.3. update now finally resolved,
The current batch of updates are:-
27" iMac Firmware Update V 1.0
Digital Camera Compatability 3.2
Safari 4.0.5
Epson Printer 2.3.1
Security Update 1.0 2010-003
I have real concerns over the Firmware update for the 27" as installation involves the fan running at high speed - and there have been lots of new reports on the forum with fans suddenly running at high speed and I wondered if this might have a connection.
Please could anyone let me know if they have run the updates and have experienced any issues on any of them.
Many thanks

Updated my 27" with all the latest, zero problems. Fans work fine.
FWIW, I update all my machines as soon as new updates come out, have had trouble exactly one time in the last ten years. That was caused by the Unsanity APE which was easy to fix once I figured out the problem.
I've always wondered what percent of the Mac population the trouble reports in these forums represent. My speculation - no data - is that it's a minority, albeit rightfully vocal.
In any case, I have no qualms about early updating, have never been bit, but to be sure, YMMV.

Any issue and/or advice with activation of global password policy (10.9 osx server) ?

Hi Pro,
I have an OD domain (10.9.1 server) with 20 users mobile account (10.9.1 osx) authentification, I’d like to enable a global password policy, and I'm curious what actually happens when I add some policy in Server Admin > Open Directory > gear > edit global password policy?
If I set a "reset every 45 days" option, is that from the time the policy is enabled, or from the time the user account was created?
Any issue with Keychain ?
If I set a "must have one letter" or "numeric character", etc...and the user doesn't currently have a password that matches this criteria, will they be forced to set a new password immediately, or the next time one is initiated, did the account will be disable?
I just trying to prevent any bad experience for the users.
Thanks

Hi,
The 45 days will start from the moment you enable that setting for all active users, and will start whenever you create a new OD user.
There won't be any issues with Keychain, it will updated when a new password is set. On that specific day when they login or restart, they need to choose a new password. Keychain will update automatically.
The new policy will start working after the 45 days have been set. After 45 days that policy will be enforced, not before, users can continue to work with a less secure password. About 10 days before that deadline or earlier they will get an option in their login screen to renew their password because it will inform them it will expire soon.
You might want to notify all users of a new password policy when you set it and then inform them again about a week before it will expire. That will ensure a smooth transition...
Goodluck!
Jeffrey

I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. 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.
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. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.
