Should I update to CUDA Driver Version 5.0.37 on my Mac?

A few months ago I was given a lot of helpful advice on this forum about installing a GTX 660ti card into my Mac so I could make use of the Mercury engine in Prem Pro CS6.
Here is the former thread for anyone who's interested: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4831609
Obviously it's a bit of a fudge using a GTX 660ti in a Mac, but it has been working for me mostly in the last few months. Yeah I've had some annoying crashes now and again but I'm never sure if that's down to the Cuda card, the Blackmagic card I'm also using or Magic Bullet and Neat Video plugins I use a lot.
Anyway today my Mac has thrown up a message that Cuda Driver Version 5.0.37 is available and the 'update is required'.
Should I install it? The obvious reason for my apprehension is it may undue the fudge that currently allows the Cuda card to work in my Mac. On the other hand it might make my Mac more stable.
So, anyone got any advice?
Here's my setup:
Mac Pro 4,1
2 x 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (2 processors, 8 cores)
32GB RAM (DDR3 1066Mhz)
Nvidia GTX 660ti
Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme 3D+
x4 3TB 7200rpm Internal hard drives (i.e. 1 root drive and x3 for footage)
OS X Version 10.8.3 Mountain Lion

Hi Ivor,
I would take a backup of your system with Carbon Copy Cloner, update to 5.0.37 and see if it works. If not, restore the backup and you're back to where you are now.
FYI there is a newer version of CUDA now, 5.0.45, but it is for OSX 10.8.3. I haven't updated yet so can't tell you if it works.
Good Luck,
Neil

Premiere crashes constantly after update to CUDA Driver Version: 7.0.35

I have had troubles with the dreaded garbled screen bug, it occurs after working with premiere for more than an hour or working with 4K material or large graphic files.
But since updating to CUDA Driver Version: 7.0.35 premiere crashes immediately after starting the same project that worked the previous day. Only switching to open CL stops premiere from crashing.
Please advise!

I moved from Version 5.. to 7.0.36 and the crashes started. Also strange pixelating on some screens. Is there a way to go backwards on the drivers or do I use Open CL until CUDA or Adobe or Apple comes up with a fix?

Should i update my ipod to version 1.2?

I dont no if i should update cause a lot of ppl said that it froze during the update but i bought a movie at the itunes store and it wont go onto my Ipod unless i update it... SHould i update?

Okay there's a lot of risk since the new version has come with a los of problems. but anyway this may help you..
With the new 1.2(wich i have and had a lot of problems but was able to slove) you can download games..(a very cool thing), also have a brightness control...but you could end up with many trobule like, your ipod doesnt work...or album art isnt available or cant show(happened to me). or worse.
Is a risk you can update, but youll have to pray for it to work well...or wait until the new version is available

New CUDA Driver 6.0.37 for Mac: Safe for Pr CC?

As some of you learned the hard way, the CUDA driver version 5.5.47 was a no-go for Premiere. Now, the nVidia site has version 6.0.37 available (which I suppose is a Mavericks 10.9.x compatible upgrade. I'm still on 10.8.5).
Has anybody tried it with Pr, and found it to be a benefit over 5.5.28, the last compatible version?

Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
Chad
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern.   (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Should I update to the newest iPhoto from Mavericks, before installing Yosemite?

I have a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 16 GB memory (1607 MHz DDR3), and a 1 TB Samsung SSD hard drive. I have Mavericks 10.9.5 on it, and iPhoto 8.1.2 (iPhoto '09). I'm about to update to Yosemite, but I've read about people having problems with iPhoto and iPhoto Library after the update. Should I update to the newest version of iPhoto before updating to Yosemite? Is there anything else I should know about installing these updates?

I'm puzzled about why there aren't more questions like mine ("No similar content found")
Two possibilities there: one is that you've phrased the question in a way different from other posters with the same issue or not very many people have the issue.
and why Apple hasn't put more info/help files out there about the havoc that can be wrought upon iPhoto libraries if app and system software updates are not done in the correct order.
I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. You can't update to iPhoto 9.6 unless you're already on 10.10. There simply is no way to do it in the 'wrong order'. And there is no evidence that the order of updating makes a whit of difference to a Library anyway. You may have read about people having problems after an update - read more. There are always people who have issues after updates - updates of any app on any OS. The reasons can vary widely - everything from pre-existing issues on the host machine, faulty download, faulty installer, minor directory and disk damage. So, I really would not read too much into it.

Can I, and Should I, update to Yosemite?

Can I, and should I, update my MacBook Pro to Yosemite? I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8.

NO! don't update yet! wait! as i updated and now my mac is pretty much useless until apple decide to release another update and fix the bugs!!

Z77A-G43 and Core i5 2500K and BIOS 2.4, should i update to newer BIOS?

Hello,
I have this working config. without any issue:
Z77A-G43
Core i5 2500K
2x4Gb GSKILL RipJaw @ 1600
ASUS 7870
PSU Corsair 750W
My current BIOS version is 2.4. I've seen that the latest BIOS for Z77A-G43 is 2.8.
Should i update to the latest version ? Does it make sense ?

Not unless something is in the change log that could be of a specific benefit. If and when a UEFI/BIOS does come along that is going to be of benefit, be sure to use the forum's USB method to minimize the chance of it ever going badly.

Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for Premiere Pro and other applications

We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update in Premiere Pro and other applications. So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver.
Thanks!

It should be added that only Macs and Quadros need the CUDA driver. That is not required for use with GeForce cards on Windows.

If I update from Safari 5.1.10 to OS X Yosemite should I use an external drive first ? NOt sure what to do first?

If I update from Safari 5.1.10 to OS Y Yosemite should I get an external drive ? Is it worth updating ?

Under the Apple in the Menu bar, select About this Mac. What version OS X? How much RAM do you have installed?
Before updating it's highly advised that you backup your data first to an external drive as a clone.
Create a Clone backup:
What is a clone backup?
A clone is an exact bootable copy of your internal drive. Unlike standard copying of all files to another drive, the clone software copies hidden files along with other in-use files that are not avaialbe when you copy over files to another drive.
More info on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning
Time Machine is not bootable. You can only restore from Time Machine.

I have version OS X 10.6.8, should I update software with Lion or Mountain Lion ??

Read this for apps that are lost whe you go to Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
But you have more options that you suspect, I think.
You can clone (CarbonCopyClone, $40 download) your drive to an external. This is wise before any upgrade to be able to recover if the upgrade fails.
But also you can keep a SnowLeopard external drive to run your older apps and to preserve your "fallback" in case you decide to go back (I am *not* bashing Lion or ML, just saying some people do want to go back).

Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for After Effects and other applications

We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update.
So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver.
On Mac OS, you can update your version of the CUDA driver from the CUDA panel, available from the Mac OS System Preferences. For CUDA downloads, see the Nvidia website.
Also, make sure that you have installed the most recent updates for your Adobe video applications.

I actually had a very negative thing happen to me when I updated CUDA to 5.5.47, it broke my computer! Here's what happened and how you might put a band-aid on it for the time being....
Specs:
MacPro (Mid 2010)
Mavericks 10.9.2
ATI Radieon HD 5770 1024 MB
1) I went to System Preferences > CUDA > Update and ran the updated for 5.5.47
2) After the update was successful, I launched Adobe Prelude CC and it crashed immediately. Then I launched Adobe Premiere CC, crashed on startup.
3) I restarted my computer
4) Tried launching Adobe Prelude CC again, crashed.
5) Restarted my computer in Single User Mode, Ran a File System Check, shows that the Mac HD Appeared to Be "Okay"
6) Rebooted and went to System Preferences > CUDA, it shows that I had 5.5.47 but that a UPDATE WAS REQUIRED, the problem was that it didn't have an update button
7) I went to the CUDA update website and found the 5.5.47 update for Mac, ran it and it appeared to install successfully, but the applications still crashed and the preference pane for CUDA still showed that an update was required.
8) I called Apple, they suggested re-installing Mavericks, so I did. Still the apps crashed and CUDA showed 5.5.47 with an update still being required
9) I searched for CUDA and found that it was in HD > Library > Frameworks
10) I moved the CUDA Framework file to my Desktop to make a copy and to remove it from the Frameworks folder
11) Launched Adobe Prelude CC and Adobe Premiere CC and they worked fine.
I know CUDA does some wonderful things when it works, so if anyone has any suggestions on how to re-install and it get it working again, please let me know.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?
