Why does my 2600xt GPU (256MB) only 128 in profiler?

I was reading threads on upgraded graphics and started wondering what VRAM my card has and went into system profiler, it is the 2600 card which is supposed to have 256, but it only shows 128 mb vram. Could this be due to running dual displays?

Many Users have already had these cards fail and have updated them to more modern solutions such as these:
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Why does my Alesis ioj2 express only come out through one side? When I sing into the microphone, it only comes out one side. I've set everything to stereo and it still has not solved the problem. Please help ASAP.

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

You know what - I'm sorry
I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
I am officially embarrassed

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
How can I change this? Why does this happen? I really need to know as soon as possible. I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr. But I can learn VERY FAST!)
Thanks for your help.

Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

Why does my school want to put a provisioning profile on my iPad?

My school requires us to have an iPad and wants us to install this provisioning profile. What does the profile do and is it going to mess up my iPad? Will they even need this in ios 6 ?

What a coincidence. Part of this question is even worded EXACLTY like yours is worded.

Why does FireFox freeze and the only way to unfreeze it is to open the task manager and close the plugin-container.exe file??? It has been happening more and more often and it is getting VERY AGGRAVATING!!!!!

When Firefox does freeze (not responding appears in parentheses in the page tab) I am not able to access any of the webpages (the entire webpage is hidden behind a vaguely white transparent foreground) and more often than not any files I might be downloading are stopped before the entire file has been transferred - which means that I have to start those downloads from the beginning AGAIN. This has been happening for quite some time and I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT HAPPENING!!
If it continues to happen for much longer I will swear off FireFox FOREVER!!!!! Either a program works or it does not work and lately Firefox has not worked worth a damn...........
The ONLY way to force Firefox to allow me to access it is for me to end the plugin-container.exe file process using Task Manager. Clearing there is a SERIOUS problem here that has not been resolved - why not???

The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.
Firefox hanging as you close it see:
*[[firefox hangs]]
* [[firefox is already running but is not responding]]

HT1589 Why does creating a new library only look for mp3 and AAC files. why not ALAC and AIFF ?

I want to add a new library so i can use on sepcific devices. However it does not att AIFF or ALAC files. I always import using AIFF into my standard library.
If i want to use only mp3 files in the new library do i have to create them first in my standard library then they will appear in the new library. then delete from the original library but keep files?
Thanks

Then it may have stalled, ot there could be permissions problems... Try adding the folder again or use iTunes Folder Watch.
Also i dont want to downsample to 128k. i want to use 320k and still have best quality without using lossless formats to put on the iPhone
iTunes can now downsample to 128k, 192k or 256k...
Also i dont want to see 2 of each song in one library
thats why i want to use two different libraries.
Yep, that bit I get, but switching in and out of libraries and trying to keep things up to date is easier said than done. I'm just trying to point out there might be an acceptable alternative that is easier to manage.

Why does Shockwave Flash "stop responding" only around 1-3 pm? Works fine mornings and evenings.

For the past couple of weeks I've been having this issue. Everything works fine all morning, and then mid-afternoon, Mozilla goes haywire and I get an "unresponsive plugin" error message, telling me Shockwave Flash "has stopped responding". It derails my entire computer system, everything ends up "not responding" (every single window, tab, program, even pictures and Word documents) then after I spend half an hour moving at the speed of molasses to save, close, and restart things, then it continues working just fine for the rest of the evening. It ONLY happens around 1 to 3 pm.
It's aggravating to say the least. And I can't figure out why. Everything I have from Adobe is up to date, all of my plugins in general are up to date, and I've been using the same exact websites for work for years but this has only cropped up recently.
Any ideas? Should I just take a long lunch and avoid my computer from 1 to 3?
PS: I'm the only person home, and my wifi requires a password, so it's my internet service fighting a crowd or anything.

I'm not paying for Norton for the toolbar, I like the Internet Security options in general.
It has this "Vault" that stores all your website passwords, and "Identity Cards" to store financial information, addresses, etc. I feel safer having this information stored in Norton (which I gave the most unique and secure password I could think of) rather than storing these details on individual websites.
Heaven forbid anyone ever steal my computer, they won't be able to access ANYTHING unless they can hack into Norton, which is the only password I hand-type. Before I got it, I used to have Firefox save it for me, but there was no security in that. Anybody could open up, say, Amazon.com, and log right into my account, and instantly have access to my credit card and change the mailing address. Using Norton Internet Security, they can't get into any of my accounts (shopping, banking, email, etc), and even if they do, they won't find any sensitive info available.
As for Firefox 22, I just clicked "update" the other day (before then canceling) because it specifically said the plugin wasn't available, and I need it for the options I just mentioned. The next time it prompts me, I'll look again and see if it's ready yet.

Why does my 3rd gen ipad only charge with an iPhone charger and not the 10w charger it came with?

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Why does my 8G Ipod Touch only allow 6.46g?

I purchased a 8G Ipod Touch 4th Generation but it only allows 6.46G. Why am I losing a full 1.54G?

That is NOT why.
Apps, OS, user storage for Safari means you have less than 8GB for user files.
There is another thread dealing with storage use, how much to plan for based on file type, but that is another issue.

Why does iPhoto slide show show only horizontal stripes?

Hi,
Suddenly my iPhoto ’08 no longer works. Everything shows up fine in Preview, but when I start the actual slide show only horizontal stripes appear...
What can I do?
Thanks,
Klaus

Klaus:
Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't fix the problem rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why does the highlighting/underlining feature only select parts of words?

Is there a reason why in certain PDF's I can only select parts of words? Before in the same document I was able to select, underline, highlight, etc., with no problem. Has there been an update or change to the software that causes this to happen? Can it be fixed?
