Weird question, but it needs to be ask ( sorry )

My friend bought a G5 dual 2.5 not the new one
and i was there 2days ago to set it up, as i checked the specs of the mac it seems to be abit different from mine
mine has ATI Radeon 9600 XT for the graphic card and his is GeForce FX 5200
which one is better, i know mine came with the mac orginal so its safe but why is it the same mac with two different specs
and do you think the person that sold the G5 change the card?
its not a good place to ask this question but its needed for logic as well
because his logic crash straight on the first launch and aperture isn't working on his it says
WARNING:
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
his applications crash more often than mine on the same day
we both got almost the same setup
G5 dual 2.5Ghz 3gb of rams and 2x21 inches LCD flat screens
different interface, he is using the built in I'm using M-audio 1010LT
this really serious
and also to anyone that didn't buy the original mac from the shops please check the specs
you might be going through the same thing as him
thanks alot

Stash,
Check the RAM in the machine. If there is aftermarket RAM in there, it could be causing a problem. Run the Apple Hardware Test. Also, the GeForce card is the barebones card that ships with the machines. At least, it was the barebones with my dual 1.8. Not nearly enough for Aperture, I don't think. I run a lot of Motion on my machine and had to upgrade to a better ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Edition with 256MB in order to start getting any type of smooth workflow.
The graphics card shouldn't affect Logic, obviously, but it would explain the Aperture problem.
Check the RAM!!

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

  • This may seem like a silly question but I need it answered plz

    This may seem like a silly question but I am pretty new to
    dreamweaver but I am learning it. The question I have is this. When
    your typing a paragraph and hit enter to make the next line of text
    it goes down 2 spaces. Sometimes I don't want those two spaces. I
    want no space between the two sentences. How do you put one
    sentence below another with no spaces? Thanks in advance. I seems
    to have figured out all the other basic stuff except for this one
    thing lol. Thanks for the help in advance.

  • 30G IPOD, really dumb question, but I need help.

    I have a question, I need to put some files onto my IPOD, and with my old IPOD I just dragged the files onto the IPOD icon on the desktop, but now I don't that icon and not sure how to get files onto my IPOD. Help.
    I told you guys this was a dumb issue.

    Thanks for the response, but I actually figured it out, pretty simple. The icon does appear on the desktop, just have to enable the disk preference.... I think thats what you meant.
    Thanks again.

  • This may be a silly question, but I need help!

    I have DSL internet at work, and much slower internet at home. I have been buying and download music from iTunes at home, but it takes so long to download. I'd like to do it at work if possible. If I do this, will I still be able to pull up the music at my home? Or, will I have two separate libraries?
    Let me know what to do and if it's possible!
    Thanks!

    Tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store will only be downloadable to one computer, so you'll have to copy them from your work system and take them home and copy them onto your computer there. This should help:
    iTunes 4: How to copy music between authorized computers
    And if you happen to also own an iPod:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Once you've copied the tracks to your home computer, you'll just need to authorize it (just play any of the tracks and it should ask for your iTMS account ID and password) and you should be in business.

  • Very stupid question, but i need answer

    how do i delete music from my ipod >.<
    plz answer

    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod
    There are also a couple of ways that do not involved deleting from iTunes. The default iPod setting is automatically update with iTunes when connected. You can keep the automatically update setting and select "automatically update selected playlists only" then all you need to do is remove the song from the chosen playlist(s) and update, it remains in your library should you want to add it in future.
    Another way but more difficult to manage is to choose the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences. By un-checking a song in iTunes, it will not be updated to the iPod and if already on the iPod, unchecking the song in iTunes will remove it from the iPod during the next update with iTunes.

  • Data values """""""""""""silly question """""but i need to know

    hi,
    When we load the data in essbase
    like
    jan 2009 sales 700(700= data values)
    2009 goes to year
    Jan goes to period
    sale = account
    where does 700 go and sit in essbase

    Based on your original post, I think you may be thinking of Essbase as more similar to relational storage than it really is.
    For example, you say: '2009 goes to year'. In a relational database, this makes sense. You might have a table with the fields 'Year', 'Period', 'Account' and 'Value'. When you load the particular piece of fact data in your example, '2009' sits in the 'Year' field. In a multidimensional cube, all intersections (combinations of one member from each dimension) are potential data storage locations. A cube doesn't store '2009' in 'Year' - it stores +700+ in '2009'! Thanks to your metadata - the outline - '2009' already exists as a potential data storage location before you load any data.
    The Essbase Database Administrator's Guide has a section titled 'Understanding Multidimensional Databases' which may help.
    Of course, if you already know all this and you're simply asking about where the data values are physically stored in the Essbase cube implementation, then I think Srinivas has answered your question - for a BSO cube it's in the .pag files under /app/appname/dbname/.

  • Easy questions, but still need help!

    The first question is how do I change a ring tone? I have been able to change the ring tone before, but sometimes the ring tone doesn't even play. Instead of a ring tone playing, I get the phone vibrating. Is there something I must disable for the ring tone to play? Also, is there a way to change text messages alert as well? I also get vibrate on that one.
    The 2nd question is about the camera. When I take a photo on the camera, the image comes out distorted. Not the real image, but the preview of it. It seems stretched out. I think that's actually how it's suppose to be, but is there a way to change that?
    3rd question: is there a way I can add an e-mail to the address book? To text images to my e-mail mostly. If so, would they charge me for that (am thinking if texting to your e-mail is considered using internet or something like that).

    1st question, go to "profiles" it should look like a speaker.  Select which one you want.  If you choose loud it will vibrate for a second and then ring.
    2nd question, my camera sucks so I have never even really used it.  As much as I love my phone, the camera is the worst.  Sorry, can't help you there.
    3rd question, click on the contact you want to add the additional email to, select menu, edit, then menu again, choose "add email address" and type it in.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi,
    When you use "Save As" you are essentially saving the whole project file. Not exporting. So what you need to do export your movie to a format that your media players like.
