Will GTA 4 run smooth in Bootcamp

Im sorry if this is not closely related to Apple products but I would just like to know from someone's experience if Bootcamp plays GTA 4 smoothly or any other games.
Thanks

Check the game requirements against your hardware for minimums. I used it on a 2010 MBP, i7, 8GB ram, Nvidia GT 330M. It ran ok after the publisher fixed alot of bugs so get the letest patches..

Will FCP X Run Smoothly On This iMac?

I am thinking of purchasing the 27" 3.1 GHz iMac with 12GB RAM (default 2x2 with an additional 2x4). Will FCP X and Motion 5 run smoothly on this or would I need to upgrade to 16GB RAM, 3.4 GHz, and the AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB?

This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance. It should help you set things up correctly if you decide to go for FCP X - a truly amazing application.
Make sure you're using the latest version - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on the Hard Drive that your System and your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
If you are short of drive space, use ProRes 422 Proxy (FCP X Preferences > Playback) - but remember to select High Quality when you export your movie.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

HT5639 Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed

Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

Will Final Cut Pro X run smoothly on a MacBook?

I have a MacBook running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6, and I'm thinking of switching from good old iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
I already see that I need to upgrade to 10.6.8 or higher, but apart from that, will FCP Pro X run smoothly on this machine?
If not, does the Mac Store sell older versions of FCP Pro? Like 7?
I do have a 1.5 TB external drive (USB).
Thanks for you help!
Mathijs

If you don't get an answer here, you may want to post this question in the FCPX discussion here.

Will it run smoothly?
Thanks
Jainil Devani

FCP X will run very well on any recent Mac for the vast majority of users. The exceptions would be those who are working with the high end formats used in expensive professional camera, and complex projects that are heavy on effects. The standard advice is that FCP will run best with more RAM than less and that the ideal setup is to have a separate media drive (for media and libraries) and a drive for system backus.

Yes. Just make sure to turn off the intel graphics chip or else Photoshop won't use hardware accelerated features like 3D, swish pan, canvas rotation and so on...

Will Final Cut Pro X run smoothly on my macbook white?

Spring 2008
Core 2 duo,
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I don't want to upgrade to Lion for now. I am interested in FCPX, but a lot of reviews regarding crashes are worrying me.
I also don't like the fact that I can't try it on my system, nor get my money back, nor able to sell it again.
How much of a risk is it really, to buy and install it?
I am not a pro, and I won't miss the most features that got lost with the new version of Final Cut.
I just wish the timeline would have fixed tracks, and that there was a save button.
But can FCPX run smoothly on my system in first place?
iMovie is too limited for my needs.

Simple fact is your computer is at the bottom end in terms of performance specs- and that's when it was brand new. White MacBooks are budget email/web computers with the slowest processors and graphics hardware- not intended for graphics/processor intensive work. Now it's going on 4 years old- an eternity in processor development time. Expecting the most sophisticated software circa 2011 to somehow support your computer is not realistic.
That said, there are certainly alternatives out there. If you can locate a legit copy of FCP 7 for example- on eBay you'd have a professional editing program. If your really feel you *must* have X- a computer upgrade (and some credit card debt) is your best option.

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Is there a way to make PP recognize all info in the timeline, so that everything runs smoothly?

Rendering doesnt cut it. Currently I'm working with 4 seperate files, ranging from 500mb to 3gb (MP4), and they lag to such an extend I can't get the editing done.
I've already posted my aging system on here earlier:
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit) - 16gb 1067 MHz RA
I was adviced to get a second driver. I haven't done this, because it'd be excessive and depressive to connect it to this system . I would rather get a stronger machine when I'm done working on the project I'm working on now and throw this machine in the garbage.
Anyway the question I'd like to get answered: Is there anything I can do that will make the 4 files easy to work with, instantly? Or something simple I should acquire. The rest of my project has been running smoothly.
Thanks, open for any suggestion.

Firefox does not run smooth while loading websites.

Firefox does not work smoothly when it is loading any webpage. Specially, when I open new tabs and load new websites while it is still loading last website in other tab, the situation becomes worse. Main problems that occur are - page will not scroll, or scrolling hangs for a sec or so, works a little bit and it happens repeatedly, new tabs will open but not smoothly, website loading also gets affected in similar way. The dot that revolves on tabs while loading any webpage gets really annoying. It revolves intermittently. Imagine a car engine not starting, it starts, stops, starts, stops. That's what happens with Firefox. But once all webpages are completely loaded and scrolled 2 or 3 times from top to bottom of the page, then it is all good. All the problems occur when page is still loading in fore- or background in any or all of the tabs. I tried to run Firefox with all add-on and plugins disabled, tried to refresh Firefox from troubleshoot information. But nothing helps. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I guess my laptop is not having memory issues. I am using Windows 7 x64 based system. RAM is 4 GB. All other software work well. Most importantly, Chrome has no such issues in comparison to Firefox. Also, when IDM (internet download manager) takes over some downloads, the Firefox hangs for few seconds. Please help.
Thank you.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

How to make powermac G4 400GHz faster and run smoother.

I really want to make my Power Mac G4 much faster and run smoother, can someone help me do this.
P.S. I'm running mac OS X 10.4.11 and I'm trying to install mac OS X 10.6 snow leopard will upgrading my OS help improve performance.

dragon,
First thing to do, and the cheapest, is more RAM. It's not cool to recommend retailers, etc....but you really want to get the right stuff. Macs can be finicky about RAM. You can get the right stuff in many places...IF you know what you're doing. That being said, most 'pros' here in Discussions recommend macsales.com (OWC) and crucial.com because you'll get the right stuff at decent prices. Both have memory 'advisors', where you type in your machine type and get recommendations for the correct memory. Do that yourself, even if you're not ready to buy today.
macsales.com has 512mb for about $30. Crucial wants $60; dunno why; they used to be comparable. One plan, on your limited budge, would be to get one 512mb stick; then save up and buy THE SAME product when you've saved up $30 more. I wouldn't mix. It can be done but you'll save yourself some grief just buying the same sticks from the same place. You'll see a pretty good improvement if you go to 1GB+.
You'll also see pretty good performance if you limit the number of apps you install, particularly "third party plugins". Keep your Mac lean and mean and it'll perform well for years. Be sure to run Permissions Repair EVERY TIME you install an app. I say this because that 60GB HD will fill up pretty fast. Maybe it'd be better just to get the one 512MB stick, giving you 1.5GB RAM. Then, save up for a bigger HDD. You'll need those two upgrades before even thinking of a CPU upgrade.
Get the free utility Macaroni and let it run daily, weekly, monthly tasks. Read thru other posts here in the 'Using ur PMac G4' and "Exanding ur PMac G4".
Please come back if you have any more questions. HTH

Will the MacBook run Worms 3D and Unreal Tournament 2004?

I wish to change my current PowerBook for the new MacBook but for one of the things i use my computer the most besides for high school is to play games and i would like to know if the new MacBook will be able to run smoothly this two games.

You should have no issues with those two titles. There have been people that I've seen/heard of running Doom 3 fairly well on the Macbooks. Early benchmarks ran on the Macbooks weren't too promising, but without being able to provide any more in depth info right now, I can say that you should be fine.
Look into reviews on the Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset in general and you'll see that it's not the best out there, but I've run Unreal2k4 on PC's with graphics cards slower yet and much older then the Intel GMA950 integrated solution in the Macbook.
Obviously if you're looking to do highend/higher detail and resolution gaming then the Macbook is probly not for you. It is a decent jump of a good $1000 or so to the baseline 15" Macbook, but it'd be worth it for better gaming in the long run, aside from the other general advantages.

HD video does not run smoothly in Premiere Elements 7

I have been using Premiere Elements 7 to edit short videos for a couple years now with my standard definition camcorder. I recently bought an HD camcorder. It is impossible to edit these videos in the timeline as they don't run smoothly at all. The raw videos themselves play perfectly but not in Premiere. How can I fix this? Is there a way to lower the quality of the videos temporarily in the timeline just so I can edit them with the finished product being in HD?Will upgrading to Elements 10 fix the problem?

You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
