Powermac G5 & GeForce 6200 Do I Really Need To Flash The Card?

Here I go Again! I got a nice deal on a Powermac G5 1.8 & I would like to Upgrade the AGP Graphics Card. I have a Card that the sites say will work, but since it came out of my PC, they talk about needing to Flash The Card first. The procedure is a long winded one & I'm wondering if this is really needed. I don't want to just put the card in the G5 & have something fail. BTW. the Graphics Card is a Geforce 6200 DDR2 256MB AGP. The other thing that concerns me is the G5 takes DDR PC3200 Ram & this Graphics Card is DDR2. Will that make a difference? So does anyone have experience on this sort of thing? I would appreciate the Help. Thanks in advance.

The 256 MB of VRAM might run bigger or more Displays, but won't be any faster than a 64 MB card for that reason alone.
Which Video card is in it now?

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Hello Angel8C,
Your MacBook Air running Yosemite will need an updated version of the Flash Player plugin to play web content that is in the Flash format (not all video content is Flash; there is also HTML5 video, amongst others). If you are being prompted to update your Flash Player plugin, you may find the following article helpful:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on March 20, 2015 - Apple Support

HT1751 This was extremely helpful, however, all the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook. My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?

My original library exists on my old computer, so I could still transfer it. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated - thank you!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I am running Itunes 9 on Tiger. Everytime I try to edit my credit card number, it says "session timed out". I need to change the card number in order to purchase music. Also, I lost the last 2 purchases. Can I download them again without a charge?

Also, I lost the last 2 purchases when I backed up after a hard drive crash. Can I download them again without a charge? Newton

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.

Do I really need Adobe Flash Player?

Received a pop up telling me that my Adobe Flash Player needed to update and asked me to close Safari in order to install. Do I actually need this software & how useful is it; reluctant to install it unless it's going to be of use to me.
Thanks

The number of websites requiring Flash is diminishing by the day. Flash content can be very resource-hungry, slowing down your computer. Recent OS X updates block older Flash versions due to concerns about its vulnerability to malware intrusion.
If you can't live without Flash the only download site you should use is this one:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Don't install Flash without understanding its implications for your computer's reliability and performance.

Minimum hardware needed to flash the BIOS.

K8N Neo4 Platinum MS-7125 (v1.0) MB. What is the minimum hardware needed on the motherboard to flash the BIOS using the recommended floppy with CD support and enabling the temporary virtual drive like the instructions say to do? MSI support recommends I flash to the latest BIOS (W7125NMS.145) before I start using my San Diego 4000+. So I was hoping to flash while I'm building the system up before I install the OS. So I guess what I'm asking, can I flash with just the CPU/fan, video card/monitor, and memory? And no hard drives installed?
Thanks!

It may be advisable to use only i memory module in slot1 to give better stability

I have just updated my iphone 4 to the new ios 6.1, now I can not sync my music to my phone via my iTunes. Before I done the update I was able to put the songs on my phone via iTunes, can anyone please help as i really need to put the songs on my phone.

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

Do I really need to name the file when making a PDF?

When I use Export for making a PDF, the name of my open InDesign file is not automatically offered as the name of the PDF.
Does anyone know if I change this? My filenames are long and very precise, and any typo would be bad.
Thanks.

That's what I thought I would do when I noticed the PDF creation was not using the InDesign file name, but I can't because since I am making a PDF, only PDFs are shown in my source folder. All other file types are filtered out.
I've never seen this behavior before - I gotta be missing some PDF creation setting somewhere, but I can't find one.
I'm suppose I will have to copy a filename to Notepad and paste it in the export window. (Doesn't that seem a little lame though?)

Really need access to the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack SDK

Hello,
My company has been trying very hard to get access to the Toshiba SDK. We have followed the instructions listed at http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=faq/sdk a couple of times now over the past 4 weeks and have yet to hear a response. As the site indicates as well I have checked to make sure that the message has not be blocked by SPAM.
My company has no problems signing an NDA.
Can somebody please help speed up this process?

Maybe you should try it again. I guess momentarly is holiday time and even I am on vacation. ;)
I already had contacted them in another case and that was last year around the same time. They responded me in september so I guess they should do the same in your case..
Greeets and good luck

I really need help with the Apple Hardware Test!

I have been having problems with the computer freezing. The other night the only way I was able to start it up was to boot off the install disk. My brother being fairly savy with Macs helped me with this. Long story short, I uninstalled and reinstalled all of my non Mac programs. This happened three days ago. Everything seemed fine. Then tonight, same thing. My screen froze, and I shut it down. I couldn't access anything. I zapped the pram, and my user screen came on. When I tried to log in it froze again. Then it started just shutting off on it's own. Everytime I turn on the computer it shuts off. So then I tried holding down the shift key, then by accident, I held down the D key. I thought I remembered my brother doing this. Then the Apple Hardware Test screen came on, so I did the test. It said: A harware error is detected 4HD?11?40000004:SATA(0,0)
What does this mean and what do I do?

SATA would very likely mean your hard drive is failing or has failed. Do you have AppleCare?

TS1292 I really dont know were the card is .I just want to move on past the redeem section and buy or get free apps as I am stuck with about 25 choices and I am tired of trying to just move forward

I just want to move on down the list of options to buy or get the apps free as I do not have the cdaed or the code and it stops me from going forward.

Not entirely sure what the problem is - is this an existing account or are you trying to create a new account ? If you want to be able to buy apps then you need a payment method on it. If you are trying to create a new account and you don't have a gift card or credit card with you then you can follow the instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving a credit card number (you can then add payment details if/when you want to buy something and not just get free items) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Satellite M305D - Need to flash the BIOS

need flash bios program

Hi
Why do you need a BIOS update?
A BIOS update should only be done if you have a problem with the notebook and otherwise its not necessary to update it.
However, as Eldoardo said you can find the update on the Toshiba US website.
Before you start the update, close all running programs also your antivirus and firewall and make sure that you are logged in as Administrator. Furthermore connect the AC/DC adaptor before you start the BIOS update.
Bye

Will I need to flash the vbios of my not yet bought GX740

Hi! I'm planning to buy a new GX740. Howver, the vbios flashing issue is turning me off. It seems stressful and risky. Does someone know if the new GX740s sold in Sweden these days already have the new vbios installed?

As the laptops are probably the same in the Finnish market as in Sweden, I'd assume that it is already in the latest version. I bought one earlier this week, and BIOS, EC and VBIOS were all in their latest version.
