User feedback please:  graphics cards/hard drives

Hey there. I'm looking to upgrade my G5 quad with new hard drives and a graphics card. I'm interested in the 1 TB hitachi drives that are out. I'm also looking for a new graphics card for my 30-inch display. The main concern I have is avoiding defective products and noise, since I run a audio studio. Any feedback? Temps? Fan revolution averages? Cooling/Mod advise? Lay it on me. Thanks!

Hi,
The fastest upgrade video card for your Quad is the ATI Radeon X1900 GT Mac Edition 256MB as sold at Display section of the Apple Store. Read the Reviews there for more info.
I have four 500GB Hitachi's in my Quad, they work well.
I'm not familiar with those 1TB Hitachi HD's.
Regards,
Dave

  • Jabber 4.4 "Graphics card or driver not supported" error on one machine but not another.

    Hi, I looked at the KB document but the email link on it no longer works.
    I have two end-users using Jabber 4.4 on identical machines, same specs, same driver build and OS image. One gets the  "Graphics card or driver not supported" error, the other does not.
    We have two DellOptiPlex 7010's,
    Both had 2 instances of AMD Radeon HD 7470 - they are dual monitor machines.
    In both cases the driver version 8.922.0.0, Driver Date 12/6/2011. This is the latest Dell has on their website.
    On one machine when I run a fresh install for Jabber for TelePresence 4.4 it works fine. But on another the user first gets
    "supportabilitytest.exe has stopped working
    A oriblem cause the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
    Then when that's closed out we get:
    "Graphics card or driver not supported!
    New features in this version of Jabber Video are not supported by your computer's graphics driver.
    Update to the newest graphics driver available and run Jabber Video again."
    I can't believe it's just a matter of upgrading the drivers because in this case one machine with identical drivers works.
    I appreciate any insights, thanks !

    Hi ksouthall,
    It sounds like the openGL supported version did not install on the one that is failing.  There isn't much we can do regarding that error.  Best practice is to always upgrade to the latest manufacturer's available driver.  Client requirements are below.
    Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Vista, or XP (SP 2 or newer), with OpenGL 1.2 or newer.
    For 720p HD video calls, Intel Core2Duo @ 1.2GHz or better.
    For VGA video calls, Intel Atom @ 1.6GHz or better.
    Webcam, built-in or external. You need an HD webcam if you want other callers to see you in HD.
    Broadband Internet connection with a recommended bandwidth of 768kbps upstream and downstream. You need about 1.2Mbps upstream and downstream for 720p HD video calls.

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

    I have an iMac 2013 running OSX 10.9.4. I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup user files to an external hard drive to free up space on my iMack Hard drive.
    So, say I make the backup today, delete iphoto libraries from my iMac, and then backup my iMac in a week. What happens to the iphoto libraries that are on the external backup drive now that I am backing up the iMac where they no longer exist?
    I will have them backed up to a separate second external drive as well.
    I'm just very cautious about removing them from the hard drive.
    Thanks for helping and understanding my crazy caution!

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2012: Issues with Yosemite update, graphics, and hard drive.

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    I've used 192.8 GB
    Operating System: 10.10.1 (14B25) YOSEMITE UPDATE
    I've been experiencing problems with my Macbook Pro shortly after the two year mark of when I've purchased it. There are a few things that are going on. I recently verified my Macintosh HD disk through disk utility and it stated in red that there was an incorrect number of file hard links & then error: This disk needs to be repaired and to restart and then press "R". However, everything before that seemed to have passed. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive and use the time machine frequently. Another thing that has been happening, usually when I'm opening one my adobe programs, is that my screen will go white for a minute along with unidentifiable pink glitchy shapes that don't move. My computer has not been running like it used to and is running slow, freezing, and periodically going white --- as I just mentioned before. I just know that something isn't it right. I've been having to restart my computer by manually pressing the power button more than I've ever had over the past two years. I always work on my computer on a hard surface in a cool area & my fans seem to behaving okay. I also recently installed the Yosemite update for the mac sometime during this past November too and noticed slower running speed, more freezing, and longer times to boot up afterwards. Please speak up if you're experiencing problems with your 2012 Macbook pro too and especially after downloading the Yosemite upgrade. I don't see how it's in any way acceptable that I should have to deal with issues pertaining to my graphics card. Sorry for this post being a little all over the place.

    Hello brousch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that your Mac is spontaneously restarting whenever you see a certain animation on your screen.  This indicates your Mac is getting a kernel panic caused by that animation.  If you'd like to learn more about kernel panics, including how to troublshoot them, please take a look at the information in the link below.

  • Upgrading Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Ram/Video Card/Hard Drives

    Hi there,
    Ok so I am an avid Mac user, but have neglected one of my machines lately. This old Power Mac G5 just pushed the 3 year mark and I had a bunch of repairs done to it (New Logic Board, Hard Drive, Power Supply) before the Apple Care ran out. I used to do all of my editing and stuff on it but haven't had time this past year so it has just sat here and not gotten any use. I felt as if it was time to get back in the game so I picked up another Apple 20" monitor, some M-Audio studio monitors, a 11" Wacom, but feel the machine is too outdated to do anything.
    Ok first off, I am looking to upgrade from the four 256 sticks (1GB) that I have in my computer with some 2 2GB kits (1GB x 2) (4GB total) and have been looking at the ram that Crucial suggests for this machine (8 Slots). Is there anything that I should look for in ram that will help me get through all of my 3D motion design faster (HD Final Cut too). I don't know a lot about ram when it comes to buffers and such, just how to buy compatible ram. Any suggestions?
    Second I am looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have the GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB of VRAM, which is completely unacceptable. I am looking for a card that can handle all of my motion work along with rendering in Final Cut, something with 256MB of VRAM or more.. I want something that has 2 DVI connections so I don't need an adapter like I currently do with this card to hook up both Apple displays. Suggestions?
    Lastly I am looking to up my storage space on this beast. I currently have a brand new 160GB main HDD (Courtesy Apple Care) and a 250GB Maxtor internally. I would really like to have at least a TB of storage. My question is wether I should just keep the 160 for the main boot up drive and apps along with minimum documents to keep the speeds faster, and get a 500 internal and 500 exclosure, or get two 500's for internal?

    Hi-
    With RAM, fancy isn't necessary, compatible is. Buffers aren't supported, so stick with the recommended memory. Memory should be 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs that are 2.5 volt, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, and DDR400-compliant (PC3200).
    Important: DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the Power Mac G5 computer: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.
    For two DVI outputs, and the power to run your software, the only choices are the Geforce 6800GT and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. For a bit less money, but requires an ADC to DVI adapter for second DVI, the Radeon X800XT will help with the softwares needs. These benchmarks will help you see the performance of the cards.
    For storage, the 160gb will work for OS and applications, but you might as well add two 500gb-750gb drives. The new, enterprise drives have great performance, and though larger, will most probably work faster as a startup drive than the 160gb drive. These benchmarks are from a Mac Pro test, but the results illustrate the speed of the larger drives.
    The Western Digital SE16 series, or the Seagate ES series offer excellent performance and reliability. See Storage Reviews. For a 1tb drive, see this article.
    Of course, whatever you install, add enough external for full backup capabilities.

  • Error message: Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card or driver

    Greetings:
    I've been getting this message lately, using clips of .avi footage from a non-HD Flip Video camcorder. First off, my computer has beyond what I'd need to edit this footage—it's an HP dv 3085dx notebook with 6 gigs of DDR3, Intel Core i7 processor, NVidia GeForce GT230M graphics card. It's a loaded machine. That's not the problem.
    The problem is that the red circle with the X in the lower left-hand corner of the screen shows up and gives me this message moments after I start each new project. However, when I click on it, the message is grayed out and it doesn't give me the option of checking the details. Read on to find out how this is affecting my videos....
    When I playback unrendered clips, the playback works fine. After rendering, however, the clips play back with jerky glitches and flashes that weren't there during playback of the unrendered footage. I've downloaded the latest driver (195.81), and that hasn't improved anything. Here's a link to a video I posted on YouTube, to illustrate the types of glitches I've been getting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFeCh6q1JTQ The glitches are particularly apparent during the stretch between 0:20 and 0:28.
    I'm still pretty new to this craft (read: I haven't tried other software yet), so any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    P.S. Might there be some downloadable Premiere Elements software updates that would alleviate the problem?

    Thanks for your response. My notebook has a 7200 RPM 500 GB hard drive with about 320 GB free. The .avi files were brought in to PrEl from a WD Passport external drive with about 60 GB (of its 400 GB capacity) free. The project was also being saved to the WD drive.
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit system. I have all the latest versions of my NVidia graphics card driver and Quick Time. I also downloaded the PrEl 8.0.1 update from Adobe. Hardware/software-wise, I'm pretty sure I'm in good shape; I'm thinking there might be some settings that I might want to play with.
    The camcorder is a very basic Flip Video USB camcorder by Pure Digital Technologies (Model #: F260W). It records in .avi format; when you plug the USB in, you can access an application that allows you to save the videos. I use this to save them to the local drive (C:) and then I copy the .avi files from there to the WD Passport. The Passport drive is where I bring in the media into Premiere Elements, to keep space free for the OS to run smoothly.
    The project is set up this preset: NTSC > Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders > Standard 48kHz. As stated earlier, the error message shows up pretty much instantly. To be exact, it shows up about 5-30 seconds after I start a project. Unrendered clip previews playback fine. The raw .avi files also play fine in Windows Media Player. The glitching occurs after clips are rendered.
    So, I think that pretty much covers the four steps from the article you linked me to, plus your questions in the above post. There really isn't much of a workflow before the error occurs. I simply drag a clip into the timeline, render it, and the playback gets that splotchy glitching. Now, it could be that the WD external drive doesn't have enough space or speed to run a Premiere Elements project, but if that's the case, why would the error message point to the graphics card?
    Thanks again, truly appreciated.

  • Can't log into User Account after disrupting external hard drive

    I keep my account (Admin) on an external hard drive due to the large volume of data. I mistakenly pulled out the USB cable to the drive while trying to resolve another issue. Subsequently, it appeared a lot of my data was missing. I restarted the computer and couldn't log into my user account. It seems pulling the USB cable to the external drive corrupted something. I verified both disks (internal & external) and all was OK. I ran Disk Permissions and tried to repair. The resultant information is attached at the bottom of this message.
    I can access my data on the hard drive from my laptop over the network. I just can't get into my user account directly. Any ideas on how I can address this issue?

  • Please Help! Hard Drive Problem

    Hi, I know there are various other posts with a similar problem but I have tried a lot of suggestions and keep hitting a brick wall. Apologies if this rambles on a bit or doesn't make a lot of sense.
    Two nights ago my 18 month old imac refused to start up properly and hangs on the grey screen with the fans blowing at full capacity. I have tried various suggestions such as resetting the PRAM and SMU and then opened disk utility from the install cd.
    Verifying/repairing disk permissions got stuck about 3/4 of the way through so I then tried to repair disk which failed. various messages told me that there were "invalid node structure" and that it was rebuilding "Catalog B-tree".
    I was then told that
    volume MAC HD could not be repaired
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    repair attempted on 1 volume
    1 volume could not be repaired
    when I attempt to repair the disk again Macintosh HD is now greyed out (although i can still select it) - clicking repair disc again this time brings up various missing thread records, then -
    invalid sibling link
    volume check failed.
    opening in firewire target disc mode brings up the usual firewire icon on the imac but my ibook doesn't seem to recognise that any external drives are plugged in.
    Any other suggestions? - Is the Hard Drive completely gone or is there any hope? Will erasing the disk and starting from scratch going to do anything? Most of the stuff on the computer is backed up so I am not bothered if I lose everything.
    thanks in advance.

    Hello Again, Happy New Year!
    Managed to get a copy of Disk Warrior Yesterday but now have different problems.
    When I try to start up from the Disk Warrior CD the mac does what it should, I click agree to the terms and conditions, the Disk Warrior title screen comes up and then the mac restarts again.
    Now rather than hang on the grey screen it goes to a black screen with white text (single user mode???) with the message -
    /etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
    -sh-2.05b
    If I try to start up from the Mac OS install disc this works "fine" - i.e the computer doesn't automatically restart itself but disk repair still fails.
    If I enter Target disc mode my imac fails to show up on my ibook so that I can get to any of my files but it shows up in Disk Utlity, etc.
    The Disk Warrior CD works fine on my ibook. I have tried to repair the iMac hard drive on my iBook using disk warrior (iMac in target disk mode).
    It gets as far as Step 5 - locating directory data then appears to hang and the spinning wheel comes up. I left it over night and there is now a message saying that
    Speed Inhibited by Disc Malfunction.
    The spinning wheel is still going and Disk Warrior is still trying to locate directory data.
    Any recommendations? The Disc Malfunction message worries me somewhat - will reformatting the disc and starting from scratch do any good or will I just be wasting my time.
    cheers

  • HELP PLEASE!! Hard drive upgrade problem

    Hi everyone. I under the direction of others bought an 60GB Powerbook Hard Drive 5400RPM HItachi upgrade from powerbookmedic.com. I bought my powerbook in early 2001 and when I took it apart and proceeded to load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex cable on the hard drive. Now am I am I missing something here or am I just a moron? I am really frustrated because the model I bought says that it fits with all Powerbook Titanium models. What am I missing? Help please!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, Denny.
    ...and when I took it apart and proceeded to
    load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one
    did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex
    cable on the hard drive.
    So you removed the old drive, you detached the short flex cable from it, and now you find nothing on the new drive to connect the cable to? Am I understanding correctly?
    If so, is it possible that the connector on the new drive is covered with some sort of temporary shield to protect it during packing, shipping and handling? If it is, the shield should come off if you pull it in the same direction you pulled the flex cable to detach it from your old drive.
    I'm tempted to say you are surely missing something. For Hitachi to have shipped a drive that has no cable connector seems about as likely as for Toyota to have shipped a car with no tires installed, but I suppose anything is (barely) possible.

  • I can't transfer my user settings from my external hard drive to my new Mac

    I purchased a new MacBook because I had an unfotunate accident with my last computer. Everything is saved on my LaCie mini external hard drive under my User Folder. Everytime I try to overwrite my user file (click and drag from the LaCie) I get a message that the transfer cannot be completed because something is in use. It's a different file everytime. Once it was the file for the Times New Roman font--I don't know how it could have been in use.
    What am I doing wrong?!

    You shouldn't try dragging it, rather use Migration Assistant in your Utilities folder and choose "Transfer my data from another partition".

  • Broken video card/hard drive backup/no monitor

    I have a broken video card.  How do I back up the harddrive if my screen is unreadable?

    Do you have access to another Mac? If so, you might be able to use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your hard drive on the other Mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    You won't be able to see the FireWire  symbol on the Mac with the non-working video, but you should be able to see the drive mount on the desktop of the other Mac. Once it's there, you will be able to access its contents and do your backup.
    Also, check to see if your Mac falls under this program:

    If it does, the repair will be done at no cost to you.

  • I can't find my user account photo on my hard drive.

    I can't find the photo I took of myself with the iSight camera of my iMac, which is used in my user account, on my hard drive.
    When I go to System Preferences, Accounts, and click on the photo next to Change Password, a drop down window appears. In this window, I can either choose one of the images that came with Leopard as my icon, or I can choose "Edit Picture"
    When I choose "Edit Picture" another drop down window opens. In this window I can edit my image a bit by moving it around and/or making it larger or smaller. I can also choose "Recent Pictures", which gives me a list of recently used pictures, that are different from the default icons.
    Another option is to click on the button "Take a video snapshot", which bring up a count down, and then takes a snapshot with the iSight camera. Once that picture is taken, I can hit "Set", and I have a new account icon.
    The last option, "Choose", brings up the Finder, which then allows me to choose any picture I want, as my account icon.
    I have not been able to find the picture on my hard drive, that the option "Take a video snapshot" takes. There is no option presented to give that picture a name either at the time you take the picture, which would make it easier to find. It is not in the Photo Booth folder.
    BTW, the same picture is also used in my file in Address book. And here the same thing is true. I can't find the location on my hard drive where this picture resides.
    Does anyone know?

    Hello Abrasha Staszewski
    I can't find the photo ... used in my user account...
    Look in your Mac's Hard drive / Library / Caches folder. (NOT your "User" Library)
    It will have a filename like this: com.apple.user501pictureCache.tiff
    The "501" part may be a different number if there are multiple users on your Mac.
    You can save a copy of this file in your Home / Documents folder if you like, but do not delete, rename, or move the one in the Hard drive / Library / Caches folder.
    Your user account file "belongs" to OS X, and it is part of the info OS X manages and updates for you. Unless you are an experienced OS X user, I advise against manually changing, moving, or deleting files outside your Documents folder without specific instructions from someone who KNOWS that it is safe to do so. Let OS X and your applications manage the file system.

    Yesterday while messing around with my mac I stupidly changed a setting I can't seem to remedy.
    I may have somehow selected an obscure security / privileges option, most likely within the 'get info' option and now my external hard drive icon is not visible on my desktop so I can reselect it to unselect the setting. I know its ok because 'disk first aid' can verify its presence but I can't see it.
    Urgently need access as I have data i need to retrieve.

    I`m a little confused. Disk First Aid is a utility from MacOS 9.
    Do you mean disk utility ?
    If yes, in the upper line is a button for unmounting a disk. I don`t want to try it, but is it possible that a unmounted disk can be mounted again ?
    I just found out, that when you move the cursor over the button, it says: unmount or mount a disk. Maybe that`s it.

  • Please Help! Hard drive problem "Mystery Gb Space"

    I recently ripped a lot of CD’s into itunes, so much that I filled up my hard drive. I cleaned up my music by deleting music I didn’t need. I also burned a majority of music to CD so that I could delete it off my hard drive. I have a 80gb hard dive; I freed up 20gb of space. I did not secure the trash when I deleted the music files. So for a while I had 20gb of free space, but a few days ago I looked at my istat pro and noticed that I now have a full hard drive again. I have not ripped any CD’s, downloaded any thing, or done any thing that would take up this much space. I contacted apple but all they would help me with was buying a plan. The only advice I was given was to secure trash. I would like to know where this “extra gb space” came from.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Get "Disk Inventory X" (it is freeware.)
    http://www.derlien.com/
    It searches your hard drive and gives you a visual representation of all of your hard drive space usage. It seperates each file type into groups of colors etc so you can see where you have 15gb of mp3's and such. You can use it to open finder windows to those files. Just be careful not to delete any system files with it!
    Also, you can save yourself about 7gigs right off the bat by deleting all of the sound files your computer comes with for garageband (unless you use garageband.) I know I don't, and I couldnt believe they ship these machines packed with almost 7 gigs of sound files that you may or may not use...

Maybe you are looking for
