Will Prores work well on my Quad PowerPC G5?

Hey all -
Will Prores 422 work well on my Quad PowerPC G5? Or will it bottleneck once my timeline starts filling up with the feature film I'm cutting?
Other data that may help:
A post house will be capturing all 24 hours of HDCAM tape and putting it onto an eSATA or firewire drive.
The producers and I are trying to decide between the Prores codec and the DVCPROHD codec.
We have a G5 PowerPC Mac (non-Intel) and we're currently running FCS1, but it's a NOT FOR RESALE version, so we can't upgrade and we'd have to purchase the full version of FCS2.
[I've been looking for the answer to this question for about an hour in the forums, but am not having any luck, so please forgive if it's a repeat.]
Thanks again in advance - these forums really rock!
B.

I apologize most humbly in return for my barbs as well, Mike. I'm glad we could work it out.
I really get a better sense at the level of frustration the main posters here must have at the folks who cut costs at FCP's expense, and then take advantage of the vast amount of knowledge you guys all contribute here.
As a gleeful sidebar, one of the producers is walking into the Apple Store in Pasadena and purchasing Final Cut Pro Studio 2 this afternoon, so that I can start cutting in ProRes once the tapes are finished dig'ing on Tuesday. So long NOT FOR RESALE version and Hello paid version!
Based on the recommendations of the opinions here on this board, and of Mike at Plaster City Post, the producers have decided to give the Prores 422 a go on my Quad G5 PowerPc, and if it turns out to bottleneck, we'll re-compress to a lower-res and keep our Prores versions to conform from when we're done.

Will bootcamp work well with new MacBook Pro 15-Retina?

Am I going to have any serious limitations if I bootcamp the new MacBook Pro 2012 with Retina display?
How will Windows 7 (or 8) look on the Retina display?
Will the bootcamp installation provide Nvidia drivers for dedicated graphics chip?
Any other limitations?

I just loaded win7 via bootcamp on the macbook pro retina and after you install the bootcamp drivers, you can actually scale all the way up to 2880x1800. Text is obviously smaller but if you set the text scaling to 150% it is readable - still on the small side. Everything seems to work after you install the bootcamp drivers. There is a nvidia control panel that you can access to adjust settings as well. Like within OS X, you can drive the retina display plus 2 external monitors and have all 3 displays functioning. There are 2 things that are a bit quirky - 1) the backlit keyboard always turns back on for me after I reboot even though I turn it off before rebooting and 2) it gets toasty - I installed core temp and with all 3 screens going, and just running Windows Update and browsing the web, cpu temps got up to 195F. Lowering the screen resolution and unplugging the external monitors seem to bring this down to 145 or so so it seems it's related to the nvidia gpu pushing the extra pixels to the various displays. It definitely runs much cooler under OS X.

Will factory unlocked phone bought from US work in India without any voltage converters?

Yes but you will not get 4G/LTE in India and the warranty is no good in India.

One account for apps, one for iTunes Match. Work well?

Who out there buys iPhone apps on one account, and is subscribed to iTunes Match on another account?
Constant authentication when swapping from buying apps to listening to music, or not?

Actually, no, it doesn't require re-authentication of the computer every time. The problem arises with iTM enabled,whenf you log out of that account and into another then you are locked out of the original account for 90 days. So, no, this method will not work well.
Just out of curiosity why do you do it this way? It seems very cumbersome to me.

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Does anyone know what SSD will work well/best in a Macbook Pro 2009 13.3inch 2.25 core2duo laptop

I am looking for advice on the best solid-state drive (SSD) for MacBook Pro 2009. I heard that only a few work well since there is a problem with the Nvidia chip working correctly with SSD's on these particular MBP models. I tried an Intel 520 series SSD and I was getting the "beachball" effect every 20 seconds because of the 1.5 negotiated speed link so I returned it to the store. Has anyone found a good SSD that wont give me the low negotiated speed link/ constant beachball effect?
Any help is greatly greatly appreciated, I've been trying to find a good SSD for months now but worry that I will buy one that it wont work well with my MBP like the Intel 520 series did.
Thanks again.
Using Macbook Pro 2009 13.3inch 2.26 Core2Duo, 4GB of Crucial RAM if that means anything.

You should be able to get 3.0 Gbps from your hard drive bay interface. Not sure why the Intel didn't work for you - but I wouldn't 'buy down' to a 3.0 Gbps SSD (some sold by Crucial and OWC, just to name two): get the fastest that you can so that if you upgrade your machine in the future, your SSD can travel with you.
I've had good luck with the Crucial m2 series - I've one of the 512GB models and it's worked well for me and has good Mac support. They're not the absolute fastest on the market, but they're good and solid.

When will Adobe finally make a Flash Player that works well on Mac OS X?

Every single Mac user in the world has issues with Adobe Flash Player. Whether it be crashing, slowness or temperature bursts of the computer, everyone has some issue. Flash for Windows is a well-developed plugin and works well, unlike Mac’s version. It has been years now and Adobe has done nothing. My question is, when will something be done. Is there a way to fix all these issues, Adobe, or is that to difficult for you? Thanks and post your thoughts.

Funny, my Imac is the only box here that does NOT have issues with it,
and Im running FF 3.5.4 and Flash 10,0,32,18
ALL windows boxen are broke, and all run the latest Flash and Firefox 3.5.4
They work on the flash test site fine, but NOT on Youtube, where I need
them most.

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes
Regards,
Anubha

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If after reboot that doesn't help...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Photo Booth will not open. My camera works well with other apps.

Photo Booth will not open. My camera works well with other apps.

try running it in either 32 or 64bit mode and see if this changes the experience. Locate the icon in Finder, right click "get-info" on it and see the checkmarks "run in 32bit mode" ..
on Lion some users had trouble opeining pb when "iglasses" was installed, also a thing to check.
Else repair permissions of the disk, using Apples disk utility app.
