Processor Speed with Apple Color

Whats the lowest processor a Powermac can have in order to run color at a good rate?

"At a good rate"
That's pretty subjective. If you're working SD, a Dual 800 G5 is perfectly capable. If you're working HD, just about any Intel-Mac is capable. G5s are also HD-capable, but mileage varies considerably depending on the flavor of HD and the G5 machine.
One key to a solid Color experience is a good video card. Search this forum for suggestions.
The other key is a second monitor - otherwise the interface is very tight and less than productive.

Change Processor Speed with Apple Script?

Can I use AppleScript to change the Processor Speed in System Preferences/Energy Saver pane?
The background is that my PowerBook G4 is quite noisy when it's running on the highest speed. This is okey during the days but on the evenings and nights I want it silent (but still on), so instead of changing this manually I'm thinking of a Script to trigger this.
Please help. :o)

Hi Andreas
yes this can be done using a bit of gui script, the script supplied can be saved as a "application, run only" and activated say from iCal or cron.
"3" is Lowest, so just change the "3" in this line
click menu item 3 of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of window "Energy Saver"
to 2 or 1 "2" is Highest, "1" is Automatic
and then re-save the script with another name and activate it to change your settings back to where you started.
tell application "System Events"
if not (UI elements enabled) then set UI elements enabled to true
tell application "System Preferences"
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
set frontmost to true
click radio button "Options" of tab group 1 of window "Energy Saver"
click pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of window "Energy Saver"
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of window "Energy Saver"
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events"
if (name of processes) contains "System Preferences" then tell application "System Preferences" to quit
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

How can I connect HDTV to iMac to use with Apple Color?

Hey guys,
I use Color application a lot and the colors don't look the same outside of Color app once they come back to FCP the project is on a dvd...
Is it possible to use an LCD HDTV with the iMac for Apple Color to see the colors would actually look on a TV?
If yes, please let me know...
If not, then is there a workaround?
Thanks in Advance

Ben...no one mentioned the MXO2. Talking about the original Matrox MXO...connects via DVI. And it has Component and SDI outputs. Works with professional broadcast monitors. On that note, the MXO2 also has those connections.
And a GOOD HDTV will work for many non-broadcast workflows. Not everyone does broadcast work, so they don't all need broadcast monitors.
But, I'm sorry to say that the original MXO doesn't work with the latest batch of iMacs, nor the generation before this. It is old hardware designed for older machines. An iMac just won't work for this purpose. Sorry.

Loosing processor speed with larger monitor

I am considering purchasing a 17'' 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo mac book pro for video editing with final cut studio 2.0.
Will I slow down the processing speed if hook a larger monitor up to this computer?

well, answered without an answer...amazing
BTW teh processor does not work more if you plug in a bigger monitor :)unless you do not use a higher resolution the computer does not really care about the monitor size, so a 1024x768 is the same for the computer, on a 12 inch or on a 42 inch

Download speed with Apple TV way too Slow

I have Apple TV and with that I have Netflix.
I am able to watch Netflix but on a TV show that we have purchased the download is 2+ hours. This is not acceptable. How can it be fixed. I have a fast connection to the internet - 30+ Mbps. So I know that it is not my connection to the internet that is the issue.
What can be changed ?? I have the setting of video at 720 not 1080 as I know that will slow it down. My wife is not happy and well it does not help with viewing pleasure.
Please help.
Thanks
FYI - it is the first gen Black Apple TV

There's a number of possibilities here.
In most cases the wireless transmission in the house is to blame.
You may be on a channel some other access point is using. You'd need to do a site survey to pick the most open frequency.
Your router may just be tired. After a while they just wear out and the wireless performance is the first to suffer. I change them out all the time for people.
You may be using old technology. 802.11B and G are obsolete. Consider getting a dual band router which would allow you to set the AppleTV on 5GHz (fast, open, seldom in use in the area). This also means your other stuff in the house can run at top speed without taking bandwidth from the pipe used for the AppleTV (best seen in Airplay, where neither are really using the internet, just the WiFi).
Then there's the possibility that the service itself for Neftlix is busy or your internet provider is choking for one reason or another...

Looking to buy MacBook Pro: Processor Speeds

I am looking to buy a 15" MacBook Pro with 4GB Memory and a 200GB HD, but don't know whether its worth £200 more to get .2 Ghz more processor speed with the 2.4Ghz model, opposed to the 2.2Ghz model. I have never owned a Mac before, will it make much difference? Thanks. Tom. x

Is a new OS likely to be a tad unstable?
Likely, no. Unlike Windows Vista this is not a major overhaul and rebuild but a progression of software releases. For stability this is a huge advantage for Apple and more importantly, us users. But as with all major software releases there will be issues of one type or other which range from cosmetic, to marginally annoying and then to very serious which can be crippling.
While I don't expect very many major issues, if any, it's not a given, even with Apple, as some will attest to with even minor updates.
Ultimately the "risk" is dependent on how mission critical your system is. Personally, I never upgrade to a new OS, which even includes minor updates, until I see what issues are going around and with what applications. Only then will I be happy to make the move. The .2 updater is the magic one for me which usually comes a few months later. Plenty of time to prepare my transition, to ensure all of my software is fully comaptible and to choose carefully when it suit me best.
Everyone's different and see "risk" different so do what makes you happy.

Measure mobiles processor speed

Hello
I am trying to find out how i can measure mobile phones processor speed with help of J2ME. Is there any algorithm that can be used to measure the computational speed? Is there any way to measure Java's virtual machine speed? I found source code from www.tastephone.com where the author measures the processor speed, but i am nor really understand why he is doing like he does:
private int getMHz(int maxi)
1783 {
1784 int i= 2;
1785 long duration, start= System.currentTimeMillis();
1786 while (--maxi != 0)
1787 {
1788 if ((maxi & 1) == 0)
1789 i += 2;
1790 // if maxi is even, add 2 to i, we don't add if it's odd.
1791 }
1792 duration= System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
1793 int mhz= 0;
1794 if (duration != 0)
1795 {
1796 // mhz = number of CPU cycles for the loop : 6
1797 // * number of loops : i
1798 // / (number of cycles per second in 1MHz / number of ms in 1s / 100)
1799 // = 1000000 / 1000 /100
1800 // = 10 so we divide by 10
1801 // / duration in ms
1802 // so now mhz holds a value in MHz multiplied by 100 to have 2 decimal figures
1803 mhz= 6 * i / 10 / (int)duration;
1804 // rounding the decimal figure
1805 if ((mhz - (mhz / 10) * 10) >= 5)
1806 mhz= mhz + 10;
1807 mhz /= 10;
1808 // keeps one decimal figure instead of two
1809 // always return a non zero value (test successful)
1810 if (mhz == 0)
1811 mhz= 1;
1812 }
1813 return mhz;
1814 }
He wirtes at line 1796 that mhz = number of CPU cycles for the loop : 6
Why is number of CPU cycles for the loop 6? Where did he found that?
Thanks

He wirtes at line 1796 that mhz = number of CPU
cycles for the loop : 6
Why is number of CPU cycles for the loop 6? Where did
he found that?Well, I guess, he checked how many byte code instruction this loop takes. He forgets that this figure does not say anything about the amount of real CPU cycles it takes to make one loop. In consequence, the outcome of the computation is mosty setainly wrong.

You need minimally Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Apple states that (of the MBP lines) it has to be from Mid/Late 2007 or later. yours seems to be right on the line.
Apple says
If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.
you must also have the latest version of Snow Leapord or Lion

I wonder what Processing Speed and Built-in Memory do the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display have.
Can someone who has upgraded give any feedback?

Looking to buy new MacBook Pro for editing with Premiere/After Effects, but wondering about trade-off between Processor Speed and Graphics Card

I'm a professional video editor (using Premiere and After Effects) looking to buy a new MacBook Pro and am deciding between two models. The slightly older model has a 2.8GHZ i7 (3rd generation) Quad Core processor with a 1GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE GT 650M Graphics Card. Then newer model has a 2.3GHZ i7 (4th generation) Quad Core preocessor with 2GB SDRAM of NVIDIA GE FORCE 750M/Intel Iris Pro Graphics Card.
Which makes the most difference (processor speed vs. graphics card) with editing with Premiere and After Effects?
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. Your MBP will be somewhat slower than your iMac, as reflected in the general speed; desktop Macs have more RAM and storage.
You recon? If he get's the 17", he would have up to 8x more RAM, 4 x more GPU,, and a bit faster CPU;.
2. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of extra RAM. Loading up the slot will make juggling multiple applications easier, like Photoshop, VLC, and Safari. However, more than 4gigs of RAM will make loading your MBP on startup twice as slow - at least a minute, probably longer. That's why a MBP user with extra RAM should sleep their machine nearly always when not in use, rather than powering off.
I did not know this, I just upgraded from 4gb to 8gb the other day. Have not noticed it being slower, but I don't often shut it down. It's nice to not even have to bother with ifreemem.
3. Additional storage and RAM will maximize the basic capabilities of your MBP, but you won't be able to make a 2.3ghz machine any faster than it already is.
SSD
4. I still feel that your iMac will be faster than your prospective MBP. The only way to dramatically increase the speed would be the installation of a SSD drive (like the lauded OWC series). But they're not cheap.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but want you to get a more realistic idea of your performance.
I chose a macbook pro, 17" of cause. I use it for gaming. Yes a iMac is better for gaming. But, it's nice to be able to move around. Set up a man cave in the lounge 1 week, or in the bedroom, the next. But you fork out a lot more dosh for that luxury. And yes, not as much power as Poikkeus has said.
