System Info wrong?

Hello all,
I bought a quad core 2.0 i7 mac book pro in october 2011. Recently i was doing some cinema 4d renders(which I normally reserve for my desktop 8 core), and I noticed it was running a little slow. I was poking around and looked at about this mac from the apple menu. I was suprised to see that under processor it said: 2 GHz Intel Core i7. I contacted MacMall where i purchased the computer and he assured me it was a quad core. Can anyone verify this? Thanks in advance.
John

It is possible to have a dual core i7 and a quad core i7 running at 2GHz. (not sure what model you mb is)
To know exaclty what you have, click on the apple logo on the top left corner, then go to about this mac, then clck on more info, then click on system report.
Once there, look on the right hand side of your screen, check what it says under " Total number of Cores ".
That'll tell you if you have a dual core or a quad core.

My apple tv is registering on my tv - i can see it on my system info screen but the apple tv doesn't show up, as well my imac doesn't seem to let me share - so i don't know whats wrong, why my apple tv isn't working

anybody able to help me with my setup for apple tv. i've followed the directions in the guide and my tv doesn't seem to register in part. it's weird because my tv system info identifies the apple tv but the screen never went black and it doesn't show anything, too, my imac doesn't seem to register the apple tv unit either

I would try connecting it to another tv to see if it works there if it does
then likely your tv can't handle the default resolution and you should lower it on the other tv
if not then you should connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore it's firmware

System info PSE 7 is wrong.

My system info of pse 7 tells me that the operating system is Vista while I'm working with windows 7. And it gives a place for the catalogfile that don't exists on my computer. Has it something to do with the version of PSE in combination with the version of windows?

The default path for the catalog is normally:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
If you can’t see the folder for ProgramData you may need to reveal hidden files.
Follow these steps to display hidden files and folders.
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

V5 552P-X617 system info reads only 1.45 GB ram. It should have 6GB. What's wrong?

My V5 552P-X617 is supposed to have 6GB of ram. It is showing only 1.45 GB of ram on the computer properties page and the system info page. I contacted customer support and since it is NOT under warrenty they transfered me to a secondary tech support company. The company charged me $200 and said that it was a software issue and that they could fix it. They did NOT fix it and did NOT give me my money back. On the task manager page it is showing to be using 75% of memory and 100% of Disk. Why is it not reading the 4GB of memory from the motherboard. If I remove the 2GB of installed memory the computer will not boot up. The V5 will work, Slowly, if I do not run the antivirus. NotHappyV5

They made it worse and didn't offer a refund? That sounds screwed up, sorry. Is there any way you can complain to the people in charge and get your money back?

Was told I purchased an iMac i7, but just discovered it is an i5. Just saw in system info that it's an i5 not an i7! What can I do?

I checked the system info this morning because I wanted to see if it reported the extra 4GB RAM that I purchased and had them install and saw that it reported my computer as an i5 and not the i7 that I specifically asked to purchase and told that's what I was purchasing. What can I do about this? They were new in training but I thought they would not have gotten something as important as this wrong. I'm very upset about this unless the system is reporting it wrongly. Is there somewhere else I could check to see what I really have? I'm new to Macs. I love the product but not being misled or used as a guinea pig when sit comes to training new Apple employees.
Thank you for this great forum!

You have already verified the Sytem specs (as you stated) in System Profile. Other than taking the machine apart to physically look at the chip, that is your best information about the system. Using the serial number on the Apple Support site to trace your machine will yield only build date, warranty status, Apple Care Support (if applicable).

System Info Error

System Info reports the wrong OS and CPU.
I'm on Windows7 using a dual core I3 CPU,
but it reports Windows 2000 and a slow single core CPU.
Might it be because one of my HDD has remnants of a W2000 system?
In any event how do I fix Premiere to take advantage of
my updated hardware and software?
Thank you !

Premier Elements has its own forum:

Any program is only able to use what the operating system SAYS it can use

CS5 closes when opening system info in help

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I have CS5 b4 bit. When I open system info in help I get an error message that there is a problem with CS5 and it will now close. Any suggestions as to what is wrong and how to fix it?

Probably the usual issues with bad graphics drivers... Turn off OpenGL in teh prefs and update your driver, then try again. Could of course also be some plug-in or other driver e.g. for a scanner or printer....

Mismatch in amount of free space, between UI and System Info.

I'm running a 2011 15" MBP, with a 2 TB drive in it, and the UI is indicating that I have about 520 some odd GB left. System Info and Drive Genius indicate about 490 some odd.
I don't foresee this being a huge problem any time soon, but it's bugging me.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

Hi Urvashi,
Please check the following in your system:

- there you will find the Basic information 'Passing type'
This must be set to '2' (Table Transfer). If this is set

Is it possible to change settings in "Help System info"?

Is it possible to change Photoshop settings by clicking on Help and then System info? Since there is the possibility to type and the OK-button, I just started wondering.

All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

Issue is with OpenGL. System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode.

Problems with Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended
I am trying to use the Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended and have been unable to figure how I can get it to be an option using text. Can you explain how I do this, please?
I have also tried rasterizing the text first and that does not work. I have tried placing the image and them loading the selection and I still do not have the option of Repousse.
I believe the issue is with my OpenGL. In the System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode. I spoke with the "Geek Squad" who advised that this is not an issue with my Mac but has something to do with the software.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.

If you really want help you may have to provide relevant information about your OS, GPU, its VRAM …

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.
