Where does it say what kind of video card I have?

I'm using an ibook g4 I bought in early '05 and I want to know what video card I've got installed. Any idea where I should look to find out?
ibook g4    

Apple sure doesn't make that kind of information too easy to find. You can look inside your "System Profiler" utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), but even then it will probably say something weird like "ATY,M08" that really doesn't tell the average person anything.
Your iBook has a 32MB "ATI Mobility Radeon 9200". I usually visit www.apple-history.com to find these kinds of tidbits.

  • How do I find out what type of video card I have?

    I just want to know what to do to know what type of video card I have. What steps do I take to find out?

    Go to "About This Mac" under the Apple menu. Select "More Info..." and then "System Report...". Look under Hardware>Graphics/Displays/ Your video card(s) will show up at the top.

  • What kind of video card do I need for Motion 2?

    So I just went to load Motion 2 on my laptop - I just had it upgraded to a 120 gig hard drive from a 60 gig, now I have room for all my software but as I went to install Motion 2 I got an error message saying I don't have the right or appropriate video card...Well, what do I need, becasue every other app in FCP studio works fine on my lap top with the video card I have.
    What do I need, where to get it and how much?
    Thanks much

    You need a video card supported by the program, as listed in the Technical Specifications - Sorry
    Even if you could find a Dr. Frankenstein to put a card in it would be scetchy at best and pricey to say the least.

  • What kind of video card

    I need a recommendation for a video card for a Dimension 4700 to work with a new HP 2311x LED Monitor.

    Try this ebay search as a starting point for the Blue & White G3 display cards. Check photos carefully -- AGP cards are plentiful but they have a distinctive tab at one end of the connector to pull off the 25 Volts for ADC, and will not fit in the PCI-only Blue & White G3. Also, some of the ATI cards sold as aftermarket cards, especially those with additional Video In/Outs will often only show up in Mac OS X as Black and White.

  • Where does it say what applications are open?

    Just updated to os x maverick. before I was able to swipe and see what applications i had running even if I closed the window. How do i do that now?
    If I close safari but it's still running in the background how can I tell?
    thanks!

    It is possible to see what apps are running from the little white light in the Dock, or by using Command Tab, which will show you what apps are open and allow you to switch to them. Mission Control will also show you what is open.
    However, with increasingly fast SSDs and improved memory management, it shouldn't really matter whether you access an app by launching it or by switching to it.

  • Where does it say what is included in a "combo" update?

    There is a Mavericks 10.9.3 Update and a larger one for the same labeled "Combo".  Unfortunately, when looking at their "details" I cannot find any difference.  And searching the site is no help either.  Can anyone help me with this distinction?

    Hi,
    The Combo site does only provide a link to the info/data that has been updated in OX 10.9.3 and not everything that have been updated since OS X 10.9
    You would have to look at all of them to work it out.

  • What kind of videos can I use?

    I had a question, what kind of videos can i upload onto a new nano?
    See, I have a DVD of my family reunion, someone video taped it and put it on DVD. Is it legal to use that DVD?
    And I was wonering...if so, how do i get it onto the ipod? I have never used an ipod with video...so the itunes part is completely new to me.
    Just to tell you though, my XP does not play dvds....any suggestions?

    Whats t&c?
    Anyway in most contries your aloud to make backups of your DVD and rip them to watch on your iPod.
    Programms which do that include Handbrake and VisualHub.
    But if its a DVD you burned yourself, you should be able to convert the files on the DVD with either Quicktime or iSquint without any of the other programms.
    iSquint is great much faster than Quicktime and free.

  • Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

    /Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
    I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
    I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
    So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
    Can anyone help?
    Sign me, aggravated.

    I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

  • I have an old Black MacBook (2008)...does anyone know what kind of FireWire it has?  Is it a 4-pin or 6-pin?

    I have an old Black MacBook (2008)...does anyone know what kind of FireWire it has?  Is it a 4-pin or 6-pin?

    And there is cable from 6-pin to 9-pin (FW400 to FW800) available from
    the apple store or anywhere quality computer products are sold...
    saw a belkin brand on 2M cable. Also adapters appear, in a search.
    And Thunderbolt to FireWire, for those instances where a newer Mac may not
    have FireWire or need to use a peripheral via that port.
    What are you connecting?

  • What kind of video camera do I need to be able to import to

    I do not know what kind of video camera I need to have to import to iPhoto. My parents have a VHS camcorder. Can I use that one? Do i need to have a digital camcorder?

    Hi Katrina,
    welcome to thsi forum
    to throw in some €cents...:
    * mini-dv, nothing else
    * with the "big" brands (Sony, Canon, ...) you stay save
    * go to a shop and make some "hands on experience"... Panasonic for example is VERY small for some hands...
    * ask for a firewire-cable, 4/6pin to connect camera with your Mac (no, usb DOESN'T work)
    * that camera doesn't need any effects...- you will add this in iMovie..., so a very basic one is good enough
    * get a second battery and a tripod ;-))
    * follow any other advice given you here in this forum
    and, besides, no, vhs camcorder don't work with iM....

  • I had to reinstall windows xp on my PC and everytime I try to download itunes a message pops up saying "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. it does not say what program

    I had to reinstalled windows xp on my PC and everytime I try to download itunes a message pops up saying "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". But it does not say what program is required. I've had to reinstalled windows xp before and never had a problem.

    Go START/ALL PROGRAMS/APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE"
    If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but "Deselect" any other software offered at the same time.
    Once done, try another iTunes install

  • How long does mountain lion take to download and where does it say how much it has left mine just says downloading ?

    how long does mountain lion take to download and where does it say how much it has left mine just says downloading ?

    It's totally dependent on your broadband speed.
    It took me about 45 minutes to download, but I have a reasonably fast connection.
    It will often say in the purchased pane of the Mac App Store how much longer it will take.
