T43 BSOD Star Wars Galaxies DirectX 9.0 Issue

Having a problem with Star Wars Galaxies and my T43. The game plays for a minute or so, then crashes with a BSOD before restarting. When windows reboots and sends off an error message, I get sent to a webpage telling me that I'm not DirectX 9.0 compatible. The irony is that according the SWGs config screen, I'm running DirectX 9.0.
Any ideas? I bought this laptop as a reconditioned unit last year and have made no hardware mods to it.

Try dx9 install from Microsoft found HERE
This sometimes fixes errors like that.

Anyone playing Star Wars Galaxies on XP on MB?

Hi all!
I'm thinking about getting a Macbook. I know it's not a great gaming machine, but I do like to do some casual gaming.
I got an iMac so I've been doing most of the playing on there.
Just wanted to know if anyone's played Star Wars Galaxies on the Macbook under XP?
Obviously I know I won't be able to use all the display options, but wanted to know if it's even playable.
Thanks.

UPdate to my own question.
It plays great!

MX 440 - getting error on Lego Star Wars Demo - Vertex & Pixel shader?

Hi people,
First time poster! I have an old-ish card (GeForce MX 440) but it has always worked fine for me until today!
I have downloaded the huge Lego Star Wars Demo after so many positive reviews, but now get the error message: "Sorry but your machine is unable to run this game. We require a graphics card which supports vertex and pixel shader 1.1"
Well, I thought my card did... err.. does... What am I doing wrong!!! Please help me someone! HELP! Okay Oscar stuff over. But does anyone know how I can overcome this (short of buying a modern warp driven graphics card)?
Thanks in advance,

FAQ
When I try to run the game I get an error message saying "Fatal Error: Your Graphics card does not support Pixel Shader v1.1"
The most likely cause is your video card does not support Pixel Shader 1.1. As it states on the game box, you must have a video card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1 for LEGO: Star Wars to run. Unless you are running an Nvidia GeForce 3 ti, 4 ti, or FX, 6000 or an ATI Radeon 8500, or Radeon 9000 series, or X series card, this game will not run. None of the Nvidia GeForce MX, or GeForce 2/GTS/GO video cards are supported, as they lack the Pixel Shader chip on the card itself. Any ATI Radeon card not listed on the game package will not run LEGO: Star Wars. On-board Intel (82810, 82845, 82845G, 82865G) video chips are not supported, as they lack nearly all the required hardware needed to run LEGO: Star Wars.
***Please note Nvidia TNT cards and ATI Rage cards are also NOT supported***
Please Note: Customers with systems running the Intel 82915G video chip will not be able to play Lego: Star Wars. Although the 915G chipset does support Pixel Shader v2.0, it does not support Hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L). Hardware TnL is a basic DirectX 9.0 function which is not supported by any Intel video chip. As Lego: Star Wars does use Hardware T&L along with Pixel Shader, this game will not run on any Intel Graphics chip.

How to get Star Wars Rebels in-app purchase to transfer to children's Family Share account?

My wife downloaded the Star Wars Rebels game to her iphone and to the kids ipod/iphone with a different apple id. We then purchased the full version from inside the app for $5.00. I deleted the version on the kids phone, and went through the family share purchases in itunes to download the version that my wife had. The game works but is limited because it is still telling us that we need to buy it.
How do I get the in-app purchases to transfer to my kids (family share) account.
Yes I tried the restore purchases button in the app already with no success.

Hi, Matt.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are running into an scenario where an in-app purchase will not show on a Family Sharing device. At this time, in-app purchases are not able to be shared via Family Sharing. I did verify that the Star Wars Rebels app is able to be shared, but the Content Packs offered with this app are in-app purchases. If you wish to access the Content Pack on another device, you would need to purchase it on that device.
There are a few things that you can't share:
Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
In-App Purchases
Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
Items that were hidden
Apps that aren't shareable
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
Cheers,
Jason H.

Cannot open Time Machine restore screen (Star Wars)

I've got a Late 2006 iMac (amongst others) running Lion 10.7.5 which I backup to a NAS drive and for some reason I can't get into the Star Wars restore screen to access the backed up files. When I select Enter Time Machine it connects to the NAS which is a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and sometimes it makes Finder the focus application but then nothing. The machine seems to backup just fine, no errors connects and disconnects to the NAS. I thought at first it may be the NAS or the backup set where the problem lay, but I even connected a USB drive to it, again it backs up but will not open Time Machine to restore anything. It is driving me mad all the other machine I have work just fine, and the problem is this one has some homework files for my which I need to recover.
Thanks in advance.

Is that the one in several languages? If so, that's a *kernel panic.* They're usually hardware, but not always. Disconnect everything, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
If that's no help, disconnect everything again and run the Apple Hardware Test, from the separate disc that came with your Mac. Instructions should be printed on it (in very tiny type).
If it passes that, you might want to download and run the Rember app, a free and much more extensive memory test: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/

Several tries produced the same results. I then went to a different hard drive and opened applications for the problem hard drive.
You lost me there. What is the "different hard drive"? A clone? Of the same Mac?
Which is the "problem hard drive," the replaced internal?
It appears the restore brought back everything but almost all application icons are grayed out with a slash across them, not third party stuff either but iTunes, Safari, System Preferences, Mail etc. When clicking on them I get the pop up "You can't open the application ____ because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
This almost sounds like you got PPC stuff restored onto an Intel, or vice-versa.

How can i score some star wars ringtones?

I downloaded the "star wars sound board" application because I wanted to have star wars ring tones and alerts, etc., on my iphone. I can't create ringtones from that application. Any suggestions on how to get star wars stuff? Hopefully free....

Time Machine does not display old files: the star wars screen stays stuck

I have been looking for an known report, but can't find it.
In Time Machine, I don't see the 'star wars' panels anymore. It was working when I installed it.
In an activated Timemachine screen, the date slider on the right of the screen does not react. Only the front most screen is seen = "now".
I used to have time machine on an airportextreme; but because of adding a shared USB printer I had to move the external HDD to my own iMac.
Time machine tells the backups are successful.
Did I do something wrong by moving the HDD around?
Did I do something wrong with 'permissions'? [I added myself as a user with read permissions.]
Should I reinstall Timemachine?
thanks in advance

Sort of. Time Machine stores backup differently when they're done locally vs. over a network.
Double-click your external HD. It should have a "sparse bundle" including the name of your computer. Those are your network backups.
Double-click the sparse bundle to mount it, then try Time Machine again. If that doesn't work, quit Time Machine and control-click the TM icon in your menubar, or right-click the TM icon in your Dock, and select the +Browse ...+ option. That should show your backups in a small window; select them and click the +Use Selected Disk+ button.
Post back with your results and we'll explain further and see how you want to proceed.

Star Wars scrolling effect

Does anybody know how to create the Star Wars scrolling into the distance titling effect?
I assumed it was just a matter of manipulating the aspect ratio of the frame inside Livetype, but I couldn't find the controls to do this! How do I create this effect?

You can also get FXFactory, a free FXPlug handler from Noise Industries. It comes with a set of freebie filters and one of them is StarTitler. Very slick, very easy to use.
http://www.noiseindustries.com/fxfactory/
Oh, sorry, just realized this is a Livetype question. The FXPlugs from Noise Industries will get installed so you can use them with FCP and Motion, not LT.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed "Slow Motion (commonly known as a form of lag)"

I have been attempting to run the game "Star Wars the Force Unleashed," on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Late 2011 with Intel Graphics HD 3000, 500 gb hard drive, 2.4 GHz processor speed, and 4 gig ram, and the game seems to be going in "slow motion (commonly known as a form of lag)." I have done my resurch and my sources have told me that I might have to turn off v-sync. I have not found a way to do this and I was wondering what might be a way of doing this, or is there anothers solution? Your contribution would be much appreciated.

Star Wars Bundle not released in a timely manner?

I like many others purchased individual Star Wars movies on pre-order! Then suddenly Friday morning there it was $89.95! I sent Apple an email Friday asking for the ability to get credit for individual movies against "Bundle". Anybody tried to get this done also? Anybody heard anything?

Hi, Tina
Thanks for your response. The problem was due to me not fully understanding the implications of the router configuration. Under the VPN and Remote Access settings for Remote Access Control you choose which protocols are going to be used for the LAN to LAN
connection. I had blindly followed the guide which used PPTP.
What I had not realised was that the guide issued by Draytek assumed there were no other incoming VPN connections.
Because the router already used NAT to redirect port traffic, selecting PPTP for LAN to LAN disabled the NAT settings for PPTP and staff using 'on-demand' VPN connections were unable to connect because the PPTP was being treated as a LAN to LAN connection. Authentication
for the connection was failing because the router did not recognise the users' Windows domain account. Also, the there is a small explanatory note stating this will happen on that setting but I had not read it properly.
Once I changed the LAN to LAN protocol to L2TP and unchecked the PPTP option staff were again able to use 'on-demand' VPN connections.

Anyone played Star Wars: The Old Republic on Macbook pro 13 inch?

Just wondered if anyone had played Star Wars The Old Republic on the 13 inch MBP. Im considering buying the new 13 inch, 2.9ghz i7, but not sure about Intel HD 4000, has anyone had much success with the Intel HD 3000 on previous model. Im guessing bootcamp is the best way to play it.
Thanks

Don't wait on Apple....rev up some developer skills, wrestle permission from the ST concern and DIY.

Leopard doesn't work with Lego Star Wars II and ATI graphics?

My son has an iBook G4, and has been running Lego Star Wars II just fine under the latest release of OS 10.4. He just installed Leopard, and now the Lego Star Wars game says that his graphics board isn't enough to run the game. Is there a patch for this? He has a PPC G4 1.42 GHz with 512 MB RAM, ATI Mobility 9550 graphics board with 32 MB RAM. We installed 10.5.1 patch to the OS.
Any help?

Here are the minimum system requirements for Lego Star Wars II:
System Requirements
Mac OS X v10.4 or later
1.6GHz PowerPC or Intel processor
512MB RAM
64MB VRAM
3GB free hard-disk space
Mouse and keyboard
DVD drive
As you can see, your son's computer doesn't meet these requirements.
I'm sure he'll be happy when you tell him you have to buy him a new computer to play the game!

"Star Wars" style scrolling title?

I am a new iMovie user (one week) and am getting frustrated already with the limited titles that seem to be provided. I am looking for two kinds of titles:
1) A "Star Wars" style scrolling title to present a paragraph of text that bridges a narrative gap in my movie. I thought I could use the "credits" one, only to find out that iMovie automatically splits the text into two halves as though it were crediting people for roles in a movie. Argh! What I'm looking for is not exactly "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" where it disappears to a vanishing point at the top, but just something where a block of text can scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that appear lower on the screen than the one provided with iMovie.
Thanks!

...but just something where a block of text can
scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up
the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
Have you tried "Scrolling Block"?
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that
appear lower on the screen than the one provided with
iMovie.
Note that iMovie lets you adjust the vertical position of certain titles. As the title plays in the little preview window, move the mouse over the window. If the cursor changes to a cross the title is movable. Click on it to drag up or down.
"Centered Title" is one.
Other titling options are built into your Mac. They include all the text options in TextEdit, which lets you make lots of cool text. You convert the text into an image and import it.
You can also use the Ken Burns Effect in iMovie to zoom/pan across images of text. You can create a block of text of any style or combinations of style, capture it as an image, and import the image using the Ken Burns effect to animate it however you like.
It's possible too, of course, to purchase third-party title plug-ins for iMovie.

Star Wars Bundle?

I preordered Star Wars episodes 4, 5, & 6. I wanted to do the bundle of all 6 movies that other people were providing but since I tunes would not let you preorder the bundle I preordered just the last 3 movies. Now iTunes is offering the star wars bundle with all 6 movies for $89.99. I thought since i had purchased three of the movies it would lower the cost to $29.99 since I have already payed $60. but it still shows $89.99 I clicked on the buy button and it warns me that I already own some of the content do I want to go ahead and purchase the bundle. I am scared it will charge me $89.99 on top of the $60 I already spent am I out of luck because I preordered 3 of the movies or am I missing something. Thanks

Another poster said that they were charged the full bundle price. If you want the bundle then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you for the individual film purchases so that you can buy the bundle instead : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
