Please help in selecting video card

I have an older 500 MHZ (single cpu) G4. I just bought a 23" Apple display. I use the comp. for graphics applications (photoshop, illustrator, etc)
The video card I have in the G4 currently is an ATI Rage 128 Pro. I need to upgrade for the new monitor. I need an AGP card with at least 128 MB and a DVI connection for the new Apple display.
Also, right out of the box, the display does not work. I had it all hooked up and plugged in and the display never turns on. The LED light doesnt even light up. Is this a bad transformer or a video card problem.
I am sending the display back.
Please help me pick out the correct video card. All of the ones I have seen are either for the G5 or not for certain generation G4. I will be upgrading to G5 sometime next year but I have to work with this one for now.
Thanks for your help.
Paul

  • Frustrated Please Help! ~ Squished Video

    I received a video clip that is 16:9, but it looks squished. It should only be 4:3. I need a way to un-squish it.
    I was hoping that when I imported it into iMovie there would be a way to change the aspect ratio and un-squish it. (to be clear, the video should be 4:3, but when I received it, someone had squished it into a 16:9.)
    In iMovie, if I select "cropping and rotation" and click "Fit" then the squished video is still squished, but there are now black borders on the top and bottom. What can I do to fix this?
    Oh and I read somewhere online that I could change the aspect ratio using DivX player. I was able to open it in DivX player and view it with the proper aspect ratio, but now there doesn't seem to be a way I can save the corrected version to import into iMovie.
    Any suggestions??
    Sincerely,
    Kimberly

    Okay. My Logic Pro Studio worked great. Until one of my children used it and forgot what they did.
    Now when I create an instrument track and use an LP instrument from the library, I also hear simultaneously the midi from my Yamaha S80 which I have used as a controller. I do use the instruments from the Yamaha S80 when I wish to on a separate audio track. But whenever I try to create an instrument track, I also hear the midi voices from the Yamaha. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!
    Thanks so much in advance!
    -Perhaps you had "MIDI Local" set to OFF on the S80 controller.
    -set the volume on the S80 to off until you need the sounds.
    -You are actually creating a MIDI track instead of an Instrument track.
    -USB Midi is flummoxed and plugging/unplugging then rebooting Logic may fix (as mentioned by the previous poster)

  • Please Help - Nokia 6500c Video converting

    Hi, could you please help me - what is the best way to upload video? I just bought the phone, which is great, but Nokia's software is really slow and the Suite hangs up almost every time. If I convert a .avi with it, only audio remains. What programs do you use for video conversion and what selections seem to give the best quality? Thanks!
    6500c, 6030

    This feature is not available on the phone. However, you can achieve this by downloading applications from the Nokia Store or from another third party website.

  • PLEASE HELP crop my video in frame before transferring it to DVD

    Please help. I don't know how to crop specific clips that the camera may have shot off-balance, something I did very easily in Elements 9. Plus once that gets taken care off, how do I transfer it to dvd? The setup is completely different from Elements 9.

    You need to post your question at this link:

    This forum is for Adobe Photoshop Elements while you need Adobe Premier Elements that deals with Videos and all that.

  • Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

    hi All,
    Please help me. my flv video file works perfectly localy in
    my computer...but its not visible when i uploaded the flv html and
    flash files to ftp?
    thanks in advance

    This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
    1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
    2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
    3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
    Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

  • [SOLVED] Help diagnosing nVidia video card

    I've got a nVidia GT 240 that is producing some glitches on video playback.
    Frames that become stuck and have to wait until a full refresh and sometimes, complete freezes.
    Also, this happened yesterday:
    http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9318/d3zs.jpg
    I use it only for video playback over HDMI to a 47" TV via XBMC.
    I would need help troubleshooting it... I tested my ram with memtest86+ and it's fine, so there's nothing else that comes to mind that could be the problem. I don't know how to test a video card, though.
    What would you suggest me to do?

    OK: I meant, the problem is not related to the video card, it has nothing to do with the video card, th video card is fine,... if you want to know about what I have been through, you can see it in this thread:

  • Please help me - importing videos

    Please help me if you can... I just finished converting a video on Videora, and now I have located the file, but I cannot drag and drop it into iTunes. I have tried going to File > Import... locating the file, and entering it, but that has not worked. Then I tried putting the file as a desktop icon and dragging and dropping it into iTunes, but that appeared to have failed also. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated - please!

    I have the same problem too. I downloaded videos from limewire and it says that its a WAV file or something but its really quicktime. Maybe I have that backwards but I wonder if it can be converted to the correct file that the ipod plays.

  • Need help on MS8808 video card

    I have a Vanta / TNT2M64 video card (MS8808 Ver 1A) purchased from Techtronics here in western Canada. I accidentally shorted the card against my metal computer case while re-installing the card ..and now its dead. I put the old video card back in my computer, so I know the computer is still working fine, so I apparently caused an electrical problem on the MS8808 card. Can anyone suggest which component I may have fried, and if it can be replaced? Does anyone have a detailed component schematic for this card ..one that lists the details of each component? Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Im running Hybrid SLI (Geforce Boost) on my Acer Aspire X1200 SFF with a Geforce 8200 (integrated) and a Geforce 8400 GS (add in) and notice no instability issues. (230 watt psu)

  • Please HELP very important video lost after restoring from backup

    I used my iphone 4 to record me preposing to my fiance and then today I stupidly sync to computer and restore from my 3GS backup before backing up the video files. Is there anyway to get the video back? Please help this is the most important thing in our life. Anything, Anyone please help. I am very devastated right now!

    Too be honest. If you recorded the video on the iPhone 4, and then synced the iPhone 4 to iTunes to the computer it is usually connected to, then the video should be backed up.
    I'm not sure though, how you managed to have your iPhone 4 up and running, but then restore from a backup from your 3GS?? If you have synced your iPhone 4 to iTunes before, then the backup will have been from the iPhone 4. You get the option the first time you connect the iPhone 4 to iTunes, to either setup as a new device or restore from a backup (that's if you have had a iPhone previously). You can restore the iPhone (which would set it up has a new device, which would remove everything off of it). If you have done this, has far as I know the old information off of the iPhone, would be still there until you synced the iPhone to iTunes again.
    In Windows, the library file for iTunes is in username (whatever you are called) music/iTunes, the library file is called iTunes Library.itl, also in this location is the iTunes/iTunes Media folder, in there should be any video/s that have been synced from your iPhone.
    Other information off of the iPhone are in the following location:
    (You will need to first make sure you have Windows set to show hidden files & folders), Username/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer
    I hope you manage to find your video.

  • Help - Need OpenGL Video Card for G4 with ADC

    OK, I've got a G4 with 1.8 GHz Dual Processors. I just upgraded from FCP 5.1 to FCP 6.0 and it tells me that FCP 6.0 doesn't like my video card because it "doesn't support OpenGL." So I need a new video card - problem is, my G4 Quicksilver utilizes an Apple Flat Screen with ADC connector. I really like the Studio Display and don't want to change it. Does anyone know of a video card with "OpenGL" (that will work with FCP 6.0) that also has a ADC connector????
    Thanks, Gilbert

    As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 is ATI's most powerful card with an ADC connector and the GeForce4 Titanium is nVidia's, although I don't think either supports Tiger's Core Image etc.
    The following utility can monitor VRAM usage, which may help decide whether the 128MB version of the 9000 would be noticeably better:

  • PLEASE HELP me select new internal hard drive for Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina)

    Good afternoon.
    I just bought a Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina) 15 inch from a friend.  I think it is running Mountain Lion (has not been upgraded to Mavericks yet), and has iLife on it.  It came with the stock 500 gb 5400 rpm internal hard drive.  At home, I only have the Snow Leopard OS installation Cds and a copy of iLife 2011 installation Cds.  I am going to buy 16 gb of RAM from Other World Computing to install.
    I want to replace the hard drive with a 1 tb hard drive, preferably something that is $100 or less.
    I talked to Other World Computing (OWC) and looked at the Data Doubler Option to replace the optical drive with a Solid State drive, but decided that for now I want to keep the optical drive inside the computer for portability issues.
    I know that Solid State drives are better, but they are still too small, and I want the ease and portability of a 1 tb size INSIDE my computer.
    Initially I was going to order this from Other World Computing: 1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB Cache. *'New' Factory Replacement with 2+ Year HGST Warranty*    As of April 4, 2014 it's on sale for $79
    But then I started reading some of the discussions online and thought maybe I should get a hybrid solid state drive?
    I saw on Amazon the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014  It's on sale for $94.
    But according to some reviews, this Seagate has a platter that is only 5400rpm, unlike the previous Seagate Momentum that has a platter speed of 7200rpm.
    How reliable are the Seagate, versus a Toshiba or Western Digital or Hitachi or something else?
    Here are my questions about replacing the hard drive:
    1.  Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
    2.  Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
    3.  Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
    4.  Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer.  Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
    5.  If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
    6.  If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
    I would love to get some recommendations about the smartest option to upgrade my hard drive with something that will be fast (I edit lots of photos) and large (1 tb) that isn't going to cost too much.  I don't know much about the different brands or options (and there are so many listed in tons of online reviews), that I got really overwhelmed and confused by the info out there.
    I would really appreciate any help and advice.  I've never switched out a hard drive before.
    PLEASE HELP !!!  Thanks!
    Here is the "About this Mac" Info:
    Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,1
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Software: OS x 10.8.5
    Storage (Hard drive): APPLE HDD ST500LM012 Media, Rotational, SATA, GPT (GUID Partition Table)

    1.  Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
    The boot drive, regardless of what it is, needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  This is standard with OS X.
    2.  Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
    There are arguments pro and con.  Bottom line, SSD's and hybrid drives are still quite expensive per GB than standard hard drives.  If you have the bucks and are a speed demon, go ahead.   I have better use for my money.   Standard hard drives are mechanical and may wear out over time.  But even though SSDs are not mechancial, they can still go bad and ultimately they even have a limit to their write capacity.  The jury is still out on this debate.
    3.  Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
    No
    4.  Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer.  Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
    You can physically put the hard drive in but probably not install Snow Leopard on this MBP.
    The mid-2012 MacBookPro9,1 models came with Lion 10.7.3 (11D2097) preinstalled.   It is very unlikely you would be able to install Snow Leopard on it.  Historically you cannot install a version of OS X that is earlier than the version that came with your Mac (even if you replace the hard drive).
    5.  If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
    Not via Snow Leopard on this MBP.  See my response to #4.
    6.  If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
    No.  They are completely independent of each other; they are just independent storage units (drives) and their RAM does not interact.

  • Need help ASAP: No video card signal for neo4 plat

    I just bought a new case, motherboard, ram, video card, power supply, and CPU. i took my drives from my old Dell and placed them into this case and the MSI neo4 plat. motherboard (specs at the bottom). after getting it to post, i noticed there was no video. i triple checked for anything that wasn't hooked up or loose. everything seemed good. i'm using a VGA monitor. i looked at the D-bracket 2 and noticed that it had 3 red lights and one green in the lower right hand corner. in the manual this means no video signal... well obviously. what does this mean and how can i fix it? my video card's fan is working. i see no spot for a PCI express power input. any ideas? i use my computer a lot and need to do some things before i leave for vacation on the 15th. i'd like to resolve any issues before i leave so i can relax about it when i get back.
    thanks,
    Zack

    well it seems things have gotten worse, after taking out the ram the other day and putting it back in thinking it was a ram problem, which it turned out not to be, it is giving me a ram problem. i just snapped em in a few times in all possible configurations and nothing is changing.

  • Help, is my video card dead

    It was a bad day and the only bright spot was my new memory arrived.
    I shut down the machine, discharged my static with a wrist strap, put in the new memory and put the maching back together and turned it on. Nothing on the screen, it is blank. Arrugh!! - then I took a breath and said "don't panic".
    The machine is connected to my network and Hurray, I could reach it and get files etc, just can't see anything.
    I have two displays, removed one, swapped to the other port and still nothing. I thing the video card died (sob, sob...hmmm... a christmas present?..an upgrade potential??)
    So what do you think: machine is running, two different monitors don't work on either video plug. Time for a replacement?
    Thanks in advance.

  • HELP! What video card can i upgrade with?

    Hello,
    First thanks for looking at this post.  Alright so my problem is I have a MSI GT780DXR with the GTX570M Nvidia card in it.  I am wanting to upgrade my video card what are my options?  I have tried multiple sites looking for my answer and keep coming up empty.
    Many Thanks,
    Dreamsend

    If you want to play a safe way. GTX580M is your choice. If you expect a GPU performance boost, then I do not have any recommendation, but you should refer to this thread first before buying a new card.
