Should I finally put this beast out to pasture?
I installed Photoshop CS5 trial onto the back of my dinosaur (Dell 866MZ P2 512 RAM Vista Home Premium 32bit) and it SEEMED to install just fine, but when I try opening it the only "image" I can seem to work with is the Windows Error Box: "Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"
Actually, I lied-- I've seen 2 images, the second being the Adobe box: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d) Click OK to terminate the application"
Could the 512RAM be an...umm...issue?
(Dang! I thought at least I could run it in "Glacial Speed" mode...)
Yeah, I read the system requirements, this was a little bit of an experiment -- I was just curious...( I basically use that old Dell to put things on and try to break them; but it's getting too long in the tooth to even be a good thrasher PC ).
Shucks, I even did a clean install of Vista on a freshly formatted old hard drive I had with absolutely nothing else before I installed the PS C5, so I guess it simply ain't gonna work.
Believe it or not, that old P2 with XP Pro does CS4 dang respectably, I believe the reason it's still a contender is it's RDRAM (which has always amazed me in what it can do). Mind you, deciding that rambus was the wave of the future was one of my WORST tech decisions of all time, I spent years waiting for the price to drop and it aint happened yet (maybe next year?
And yes, using Vista is pretty nutso (apologies...?...to Bart ) in any case! Before I got Win7 Ultimate for my "real" box last year I had Home Premium Vista on it for about 3 months at one point and finally reverted to XP Pro

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.
os x, Mac OS X (10.6)I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?
I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.

I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????
Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries. -

Performance Issue - sitting this one out
Hi,
as mentioned in a previous post, I am having serious difficulty with navigation in the grid view. There is no way I am getting any kind of satisfactory scroll movement, either with the mouse nor with the tablet. For a program which is expicitely intended to handle large number of pictures and navigating through them, this is not acceptable.
To make this clear: I love the new features in LR3, especially the noise reduction improvements and the lens corrections; also the fine tuning instruments for sharpening are worth mentioning. However, if I spend most of my time (and nerves) to get to the picture I want to manipulate instead of getting any of my actual work done, it is time to do something about it.
On the ohter hand, LR 2.7 was working just fine; no performance problem (asside from occasional hangups using the correction brush for too long, getting a lot of brush strokes where god himself would't want 'em).
After fiddeling with my graphics card settings, cache settings, even turning off my anti- virus software for testing, and trying what not, I decided to sit this one out: I'll rather use an inferior LR 2.7 that works than a superior LR 3 which doesn't work (talking about contradition in terms...).
So I'll keep on using third- party noise reduction and lens correction software and wait if the adobe engineers find the time to tackle the problem.
Just a finshing thought: distributing menory- hog- software usually is the domain of Microsoft, isn't it? I believe mass- market- compatible software should run (not walk...) on mass- market- hardware.
I hope enough people may comment this in the like of "me, too", so that the adobe guys might take notice.
Thanks,
Mike.Same for me! Editing pictures with LR3 takes soooooo long on my computer (Win 7 64 bits, Intel Core i7 860 , ATI Radeon 48700, 4 Go RAM) that is it not possible to work. LR3 is using 60% of my RAM each time I zoom in the picture, chnage picture or do a local correction. It often crashes. Open in PS CS4 can be painful too.
Listening to Victoria Bampton's advice, I have deleted the lrpreview folder and rebuilt the standard preview. FOr a few days it worked bbetter, but after imprting a bunch of pictures, it is slow again.
Photo is my job and LR my every day tool. I hope the fix will come very soon, just can't wait!

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this? Thanks Eamonn
Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail. I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present". Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility. The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution? I fear I am fast running out of options. -
Should I take the hard drive out of my 2008 Intel 24" iMac
I have a 24" 2008 iMac with a 500Gig harddrive running the latest OS and it is really running slow (pinwheeling etc.) I've maxed out the RAM and I'm not sure if I can get it to run any better. I've cleaned up the drive using repair disk permssions etc. I am considering taking out the drive and putting this in an inclosure to take data off of it and replacing the drive and doing a clean install to sell it. I'd then try to connect the drive to my Airport and use my MBP as my primary computer. Anythoughts or suggestions on how I can go about doing this? Are there easier or better options?
Thanks.That's far too many apps running simultaneously with only 4 GBs of RAM.
Intel version of OS X, especially, OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion are serious computer resource hogs.
OS X, by itself, can use between and up to 2-4 GBs of RAM to run smoothly, quickly and efficiently.
Tthis doesn't leave a lot of extra RAM and in your situation NO extra RAM for running additonal applications.
It's apparent you need more RAM.
Your model iMac can take 6 GBs of RAM.
You can substitute one 2 GB RAM module with a 4 GB RAM module for a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
You still need to cut back on how many apps you run simultaneously, but you'll have more leeway with the extra 2 GBs of RAM installed.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Here's a link to OWC's 4 GB RAM module for your model iMac.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.
Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now. -
I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr........... -
How can I put a video in my Ipad from my pc? (I made this video with another Ipad, but if send it with Imessage, the quality is worse, if i try to put this video in Itunes it don't read it, if I try to put the video in Ipad like it is a normal pendrive i can't)
Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.
VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.
