Suddenly Quartz Extreme Not Supported

Just got my new 20" iMac G5. was enjoying the RSS and iTunes artwork screensavers only this morning and now after migrating from my G5 1.6 they're gone and system profiler now says Quartz Extreme Not Supported. Zapped Pram all software updated and done a couple of re-starts.
Can't think what I've done (or not) to screw up this feature
Any help welcome
G,

Ok update.... I followed directions here http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20081110225534811 and Quartz Extreme is supported on both now, but i'm still getting the ugly scan line.

Thanks!

Hi Leek Mibles;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
The reason your system is telling you it can do Core Image is because it doesn't have the hardware to support it. Since your system is a PowerBook, you are unable to upgade the graphic card because it is soldered in. So I am sorry to say that the only way for you to get Core Image is to upgrade your whole system.

Quartz Extreme not supported after 10.4.7 update

I recently updated to 10.4.7 and now quartz extreme is not supported.
How can I resolve this problem?
Mac Mini 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 Mb RAM

Hi Dr. Smoke.
Many thanks for offering some advice so quickly.
1. The reason I believe Quartz Extreme is " not supported" is mainly because when i turn my mac on and start using OS X, if I am in say DVD player or might use a widget the screen is very "choppy". Not sure if this is clear, but the motion is choppy. When I checked my system profiler it showed:
ATI Radeon 9200:

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Rotation: Supported
Now, I just recently I decided to change my resolution and checked back with the system profiler and it said Quartz Extreme was supported. Core Image still says "Not supported".
Unless I manually change the res. everytime I use my mac it still keeps saying Quartz Extreme is not supported.
Can you tell me what is happening and is it fixable?
many thanks!

GeForce4 MX Quartz Extreme not supported

My Geforce4 is supposed to be supported by QE. I did a install of tiger over panther and now nothing works. I can not install final cut 3.0. i ran all if the software updates from apple.
my machine is a DP 867 G4. I tried to hit esc when the QE error msg pops up but that does not work. Is there a solution to this. I don't know what else to do!!

I experienced a similar grief, FCE 3.5 was working OK until I decided to lower some of the settings to see if my computer would work faster. When I tried to open FCE 3.5 the sign [ Graphic card does not meet the requirement of this software ] Finally I went into (About this Mac) >More info > Graphics/Display and saw Quartz Extreme: Not supported. I then went into System Preferences >Display and saw the setting: Colors was in Thousands. I changed it to Millions and Wallah!! every thing works as normal again.
Check your display and make sure the color is set to millions. I hope this helps.
Peace Love & Courage

Quartz Extreme not supported on Port 2 of ATI x1900 xt

I'm having trouble with my system. For some reason, on my second monitor connected to port 2 comes up with Quartz Extreme not supported. I searched around, but haven't found any answers. Does anyone know why this is and if there is a way to fix it?

I also have a AJA Kona LHe hooked up. Thanks.

Pretty much from what I see, there is a conflict with the AJA drivers because every time I uninstall the AJA drivers then check the system profiler, both displays show that Quartz Extreme is supported. But once I install any version of the AJA drivers for Final Cut Studio 2 (5.1, 5.1 NDD, and 6) it will disable the support for Quartz Extreme for one of my displays. So the only thing I can do is hope there is a 6.1 or something that will take care of that issue. I read the update news for 6, and there was no fix for what causes this problem. Otherwise it would have said it fixed the problem that required them to make a NDD version of the last driver. I emailed AJA the other night about this, but haven't heard back from them. I hope they have a good reply.

Mac Mini: Quartz Extreme not supported?

I have a Mac mini (late 2008) 2.0Ghz with an Intel GMA950. MB139LL/A -- It says Quartz Extreme is not supported. Is that right? This machine is new and shipped with Leopard. Do the Mac minis really not support Quartz Extreme?

I'm not sure which "Samsung SyncMaster 940" you have, but it looks like the technology in that monitor may be about 5 years old.
My guess is that monitors that have been released more recently will have better support.
Personally, I like to buy monitors from stores with good return policies, because you never know what you might not like about a monitor until you try it. Depending on where you live, Costco can be a good place to buy monitors, as they have probably the best return policy in the business. (90 days on TVs, but no time limit on monitors -- the last time I checked.)

Radeon 9600 Pro - Quartz Extreme not supported? Help!

I've just got a Radeon 9600 Pro PC/Mac edition, as the 9600XT that came with the G5 died on me last week. It's taken an age to get it working, I could only boot in safe mode, in the end I deleted all my existing ATI extensions, installed the ATI Displays 4.5.7 and it works. BUT ... (and it's a big but)... performance is VERY slow and System Profiler says Core Image and Quartz Extreme are not supported. If anyone's got any ideas I'd be most grateful.
Thanks. Richard.

OK here's the latest. I did an Archive and Install (keeping my users home folders, though), and when the G5 restarted after the install it hung - the grey screen with apple appears, the little cog rotates under the apple, then that freezes and, although you can hear the hard drive working for a little while, it gets no further.
So I booted in safe mode, which works fine - ran the 10.4.10 combo updater, reset PRAM and NVRAM, same again - won't boot. Then I installed the ATI drivers from their website - same again. I can only boot in safe mode.
So i'm back where I was when I first installed the card - the only way I could boot other than in safe mode was to delete all the ATI extensions from /System, after that it booted but reported Quartz Extreme and Core Image not supported.
ATI support still haven't replied to phone calls and emails from Monday. So I' kind of at my wits end with this. Surely if I can boot in safe mode there can't be a hardware issue with the card, can there? Could there be something wrong with my AGP slot??
Any ideas gratefully received.

Quartz Extreme not showing up on stock Mac Pro and card

I have purchased a new Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display from the Apple store last month. Safari Top Sites is not working and the "help" stated I need Quartz Extreme. Looked in the profile, but it is not listed in the list on the right at all. It is a stock apple card and display.
Is my monitor video card not even capable of using this feature or do I need to reinstall the system or something??

With Snow Leo basically if you can't get quartz extreme you shouldn't be running 10.6.x
Easy way to tell if it is working though would be that your menu bar across the entire top of the screen is transparent, or if you add a widget to dashboard you will get the ripple effect. If you are on a system where Quartz Extreme is disabled you will not get those effects.

Any other solutions regarding the sudden Quartz extreme message for iMovie?

iMovie suddenly won't open (Quartz extreme required) and no solutions mentioned here seem to help. I've tried changing the resolutions temporarily, restarting, permissions repair, deleting the com.apple/imovie.plist from library preferences, software update, deleting iMovie then redownloading (from an external HD), and it's still not opening even though I've made movies in the past. I did download the iDisplay app to use an ipad as a second monitor, which I thought may have caused the problem. So, I deleted iDisplay from my HD and emptied the trash. Still no iMovie. I'm outside of warranty and don't want to pay money to have Apple Canada fix their own issues - so please help. Thanks.

I have the same problem on my brand new MacBook running 10.5.4... One suggestion was to change the colors from millions and then back but I don't even have that option in my display panels. In another thread I found something that worksL
If I simply log off and back on, then everything is fine again (no need to restart). It will show it as supported in the system info. At first I used to restart, but for the sake of trying it out once, I decided to just log off and on. It had the same effect as restarting, so that's what I do now.
ANd in yet another answer I found something that worked for me: change the display resolution and then change it back.
Obviously some display setting is getting corrupted in some fashion and in my case I'm using with and without an external monitor, so perhaps it loses some needed preference...

Mac Pro 1.1, OSX 10.6.8, ATI 1900XT, Quartz Extreme - Not working

I am about to sell my computer and I wanted to check and make sure everything is working as it should. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 2x Intel 2.66ghz Dual Core, running OSX 10.6.8, ATI Radeon 1900XT.
Everything was working fine a few weeks ago. Now when I try to open just about any program, I get an error that says "This system does not meet the following minimum requirements: ie Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
I have always been able to run FCP and all the programs that are giving me this error. I don't know exactly when I updated to OSX10.6.8, but I am almost certain I have been able to run FCP with OSX 10.6.8, I was running it about three weeks ago and the only thing that I know of that is different is that I updated photoshop.
I found this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12728219#12728219
Which suggests doing the Snow Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1083
I tried running it, but it says it only works with 10.6.4. (I am on 10.6.8).
I also looked to see if Quartz is enabled in the system profiler, but it doesn't even show that option:
Does anyone know what could possibly be happening or causing this? Getting a new GPU is not really an option since I am selling the thing.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If your computer meets the minimum requirements, you can purchase and download OS X 10.7 'Lion' from the Mac App Store online. It is also available on a flash drive at about double the price of the download.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Specs, minimum hardware requirements, and upgrade paths for OS X 10.7 'Lion' are also listed here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Even though Lion runs in 2GB system RAM, 4GB or more is highly recommended.
Also be aware that Apple recently announced the next version of OS X, 10.8, called 'Mountain Lion', but no firm date for availability, other than 'coming this summer.'

Suddenly " display does not support HDCP " - March 2014

Hello Sky peoples Having had no trouble with my Sky+ HD and my LG TV for months and months I am now getting this "does not support HDCP" dialog every time I switch on. The TV was on then suddenly it blacked out and wouldnt restart - so I had to de-power at the socket. After restart, this error dialog always appears - and no HDMI signal I have tried all the remedial actions, power-down restarts, cable switchovers, updated box software, unplug/replug The display still works fine on bluray and xbox 360The sky box is still putting out a signal on composite video. yinch'14

Hi there Yinchy,
Thank you very much for joining us on the community forum and posting your query.
I am extremely sorry to see that you are experiencing this issue.
There are a number of things that you can do to try to resolve this.
Firstly, Reset the HDMI signal.
Using the Sky remote:
1) Press Standby on the Sky remote. Standby light displays.
2) Switch off the power supply or remove the plug at the mains socket.
3) Switch connection equipment to standby and disconnect at the mains socket.
4) Confirm no lights remain on the Sky box or any connected equipment.
5) Wait 60 seconds, then switch the TV on at mains socket.
6) Switch the TV to the correct HDMI or DVI input.
7) Switch the Sky box on at the mains socket.
8) Wait 2 - 4 minutes after the standby light displays.
9) Switch on all connected equipment at the mains socket.
10) Press Sky to switch on the Sky box. The green light displays.
Please let me know how you get on with this and I will be able to help you further if required.
Many Thanks,

FCS Compressor issues - Quartz Extreme not loading on headless XServe

Hi,
I am running FCS on a OS X Leopard Server Intel XServe...installed a Quartz Extreme GPU (an old stock nVidia 7300 taken from a Mac Pro) to meet the specs. Everything worked fine. However I want to run the system headless - it is an XServe in a rack! Only problem is that without a monitor attached to the GPU, the XServe fails to acknowledge the existence of the GPU. Quartz Extreme does not load. Compressor will not launch if opened (explaining that I have no GPU!) and the automatic encodes from FCS come out as 0Mbyte .mov files. I admit I already knew about the issue of Final Cut Studio apps not running on a headless machine, even with a GPU installed. I just assumed Apple must have fixed this one for FCS because it is server software....I am guessing plenty of people must actually run FCS on headless machines....what's the trick to getting encoding to work?
Thanks!
Daniel

Depending on your xServe, you can just stick the dongle in the back and it should activate Quartz Extreme. You shouldn't have to install another graphics card. If you have an older xserve, you may have to hook up a monitor to the dongle.

Quartz Extreme Graphics Card Support FCE 3.5

Newbie so bear with me...
I have a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 so I went with FCE 3.5 thinking I had all the minimum requirements as advertised. When I went to install it did not highlight for install. I checked the more detailed requirements in the package and the only thing I'm lacking was the "AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card". In the System Profiler under graphics/displays I have:

As you can see it says Quartz Extreme not supported for the Viewsonic 19" monitor that I currently have. Wondering if there is a way around this. Just bought new HD camera setup/new os/fce so I would like to not spend more money on a new monitor. Let me know, thanks in advance!
-Nick

Hi Tom,
There is no actual error message displayed - the Final Cut Express HD is not highlighted under Custom Install as shown in the screencapture below:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/nstatom/fcpinstall.jpg
The manual claims that if something is not highlighted it does not meet the minimum requirements and the only thing I do not meet is the video card. Any ideas? Thanks again in advance.

MXO & Quartz Extreme

Hi Folks,
Wonder if anyone can help with this.
Below is my GPU detail from system info showing no Quartz Extreme support through the MXO (attached to DVI port 2). I found this link:
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=184
from back in '07 seemingly demonstrating a problem with port 2 -no GPU mentioned-& Quartz Extreme. My Mac will not open iMovie as it says no QE support, I'm guessing it's detecting the unsupported MXO & saying 'no way baby'. It can't be a common problem with all GPUs can it?
I have not as yet switched the monitors around to test, (nest of vipers cable-wise), but have searched about to no avail so far in Forum land.
Is there a workaround or command line insert to get around this?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi fellow Nick.
I saw another thread that suggested re-applying the 10.5.7 *Combo Updater*.
Here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9524601&#9524601
No idea if it worked -the OP never replied. 10.5.8 is out now anyway, so the 10.5.7 updater might be no longer available.

ERROR: (line 63): 'Error' : mipmapping not supported

I just tried the new pb3d release... and I'm a bit dissapointed. Suddenly mipmapping is not supported anymore? Why? This can just be a new error.
So I can't use the new release and have to stick to the old buggier one
Can't you just put pb3d open source so that we can fix these kind of thins by ourselves? I liked writing shaders in pb3d, it's so much more friendly than AGAL and the toolkit looks almost finished...

But has Adobe plans to open source PixelBender3D? Can you say something about this?
Adobe has no plans to open source PB3D. That's as much as I can say.
