Will this mac run garageband and if so what version? the mac i am considering is a Apple Power PC G5, Dual 2GHz Processors, 160GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.1 installed .

Hi, I am a newbie to mac's , but i am considering buying the following mac to hopefully run a version of garageband(though i am unsure as to the versions available and what will run on this mac?).
The mac is a power pc g5 with a 160gb hd 2gb ram osx 10.5.1 is installed(i am now aware that i can update this to 10.5.8 via apple) what verisons of garageband work best on this set up ? the mac would come with a disc ilife08 though i am not sure if this has any music software on it?
any help would be nice.
Many thanks J

Thanks for the reply, i am interested in this mac to try out this platform....i understand what you are saying.....but i do not wish to spend too much money on something i may not get on with(even though people say macs are the best).
I thought that the price i can buy this mac(£100 all in) was a good entry level to look at this platform and if i like it i can always invest further money down the line in an intel based mac.
Can anyone advise if this spec can run the garage band on the ilife disc?
Is it possible on the version on ilife 08 to use appleloops?
ANy help would be nice
Many Thanks Jay

I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
The internet plugin folders are at:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins and
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

Mac running Mavericks Crashes Firefox Daily. EXC_BAD_ACCESS / KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE Please help.

Hi,
I have a Mac running Mavericks and Firefox keeps crashing most daily for the past three months and I get a "Firefox has crashed submit report" popup.
It is usually if I am playing a youtube video or a movie (more then one) at a time. Or if one video is loading and I try to play or load another. I notice if I "que" or pre-load a long video (more then 15 minutes), then try to play a new one it will crash.
I have tried the following solutions none of which have worked:
A) Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox
B) Reset Firefox (Help, troubleshooting information, reset firefox)
C) Turn off hardware acceleration (Firefox, preferences, un-check hardware acceleration)
D) Turn off "enable hardware acceleration in "youtube" (it now asks me each time if I would allow it to play)
E) Plugin Check and Updates are all up to date (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) I only have:
SharePoint Browser Plug-in (research)
Default Browser Helper (research)
These plugins are up to date: (as of March 7th 2014)
Shockwave for Director 12.0.6 (Up to Date)
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 (Up to Date)
QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3 (Up to Date)
Sometimes I get this as the "signature": libsystem_platform.dylib@0x4280
Again I have tried the above solutions but they have not worked. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thank you
Shawn

System Requirements Confuse Me. Will This Laptop Run Premeire CS6?

Hey, I know many people ask these questions but requirements/recomendations/technical specs have me second guessing myself. I know that no laptop is great for heavy video editing, but will this laptop run Premeire Pro CS6 for regular stuff?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834257152&Tpk=HP%20ENVY%20dv7%20DV7- 7247CL
I7 quad core
17in 1080 screen
nvidia gt 650m 2gm gddr5
8gig ram (expandable to 16gb)
Thanks

5400rpm hard drive is below the 7200rpm specification... so editing would be VERY slow and subject to "jerky" editing playback
IF the laptop has a USB3 port (I don't see such mentioned) you could use a 7200rpm USB3 drive for your projects and video files
External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1117813 - http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page/84-disk-setup
ONE possibility is this $47 USB3 dock with fan http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-Cooling/dp/B0055PL2YI

Hp printer Office Jet Pro 8600 wont print from my Mac running Mavericks. Worked fine with PC.

I am having trouble getting my printer to print with my MAC. It recognizes jobs in the queue, but keeps telling me the printer isn't connected? I have uninstalled and re installed it, updated the drivers. Grrrrr
Need this for school. Not sure what else to try?

Hi @zeern2003,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Officejet 8600 will not print from your Mac running Mac OS X Mavericks. I am happy to help you with your printing!
Please see this printing guide, Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue. As it has information on what to do if your printer is offline, not printing, or not responding.

Canon MF4890 Drivers Won't Install On Mac Running Mavericks

I just purchased an MF4890. I use a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. The disk that came with the printer doesn't support Mavericks and when I download the drivers from the Canon website, they won't install. If I keep the driver image on my Mac desktop, the printer will print for a time -- but then it no longer sees the printer. This isn't normal. I should be able to eject the disk image (as in every other application), and the app/drivers should be installed on my mac. When I as much as created a folder on my desktop and moved the disk images into the folder (print/fax/scan), the mac no longer sees the printer (wireless).
Help! Does this printer support Mavericks?

Hi BonnieBoop.
The imageCLASS MF4890dw does support printing on the OS X Mavericks operating system. You should be able to open on the Mac_MF_Ver1010_00.dmg file and run the installer package. The icon looks like an open brown box. Next just follow the steps to install the driver.
If you are not able to see this information or if the setup does not allow you to save the information, we recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) and a live technical support representative will be glad to assist you.
Have a good day.

Can I upgrade CS5 on a Mac running Maverick?

I have a Macbook Pro, running Maverick, and older version of Creative Suite, CS5. Still works, but I have been getting notices that upgrades to this are available. BUT...cannot tell anything about the upgrades - if they will work on this platform, if they are free or pay. So I am afraid to try to install them. I spent the last hour trying to contact Adobe by phone to ask this simple question - are upgrades available to me. Guess, what? They can't be reached by phone. Every time I travel their phone tree, I end up on a branch they cut off. Not good product support in my opinion and if I were starting over would really question using these products. But that is the way it is. I realize that likely no one out there can answer this for me, but thought I would put it up in case you have dealt with a similar issue.
Thanks,
Richard

I have version 7.0.4.553 - according to the info function. Maybe this is the latest.

My mac, running mavericks, has stopped recognising wifi devices, including time capsule and printer. Wifi Broadband still works. How do I fix this?

Just over a week ago I found my mac would not recognise my wifi printer and attempts to add it again have been fruitless. I then received notification from time machine that my backups to Time Capsule have failed. The last back-up was about the time the printer problem occured. It appears that the mac no longer recognises the wifi devices. I am not aware of any software updates at that time. Has anyone experienced this, and if so what is the fix? Thanks in advance

Restart your router.
Then reset your Time Capsule > Resetting an AirPort base station
Then restart your Mac.
See if that makes a difference.

I can no longer access documents in iCloud from my Mac running Mavericks

I entered into the Yosemite public beta program. After running the installation, I decided to go back to Mavericks. I used my Time Machine Backup to restore my Mavericks installation. All is well again except one thing, I cannot access any pre-Beta documents in my iCloud. I can't see anything in the folders: in Numbers, Pages, or via iCloud.com. I also can't reset iCloud via iCloud.com. I can access some of my documents via Numbers on my iPad, but they have issues like missing fonts.
If I officially leave the Yosemite Public Beta (via the leave webpage) will it restore my iCloud documents access? Or am I stuck until Yosemite and iOS 8.0 are released?
I would expect some bugs and speedbumps in a beta, but every page I viewed before trying it stated I could go back to Mavericks using my Time Machine backup, which I did. Had I known I shouldn't enter my icloud info when installing the beta when it asked, I wouldn't have. I'm assuming the files are still there, I just can't see them because I was upgraded to iCloud drive as part of the beta. I may try installing Yosemite Beta in Parallels just to see if I can recover my documents that way.
Anyone else experiencing this?

You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine. To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu. Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine. Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

Photoshop CC on a Mac running Mavericks does not recognize Epson 3880

This is my first post to this forum so I hope that I am following protocol and presenting my issue clearly.
I am running Photoshop CC (on a Mac Retina with an Epson 3880). It has worked fine for months but it crashed twice yesterday while I was in print mode as I was playing with configurations – switching from Epson to Adobe and playing with color management. (I have an Epson 3880.) Now when I open a file and click File/Print or File/Print One Copy, the printer selection menu does not appear and instead I get a message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." After that the print and print one copy commands are greyed out on the File dropdown menu for that image file, but if I open another, the print function appears to be available but the same thing happens
I have downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson, deleted the printer from System Preferences, installed it again and rebooted. I have done all this twice to no avail. (The OS, the printer drivers and Photoshop CC are all up to date.)
I can use the print command from Lightroom 5 but not from Photoshop CC.
How can I reset Photoshop’s print function to recognize the printer?

Epson has had a LOT of problems with drivers on MacOS 10.9.
Contact Epson for driver updates that work correctly on MacOS 10.9.

How to Sync iPhone Contacts to Mac running Mavericks?

I stuck woth 10.6.8 for as long as I coudl but eventually uplgraded to Mavericks..
Now it seems contacts do not sync between the iphone and the Mac any more...I can't even find the options for that in iTunes or iPhone prefs.
I have gone through all the Menu and so far have failed to spot any item that is related.
I have seen other threads about contacts not syncing and mention was that I shoudl turn off iCloud Sync...well iCloud was not even on..I have not used iCloud for contact sync since it screwed all my contacts, deleted laods and duplicated the rest. so there is no way I will touch that again.
Any tips apprectiated.

OH bloody brilliant! First I see iSync has gone so I cna't sync my other phone now this!!
Wha the ***FHFY are Apple trying to do ....grrr. Make monye no doubt by forcing evey one to use the iCloud, then once we are all on it.start charging for data.
What next I wonder for OS 11, no ability to install apps at all ...forcing you to use and pay for apps on a per use basis ...rather like Adobe Createive Cloud products...
Lost ofr words.....uurrr..the most useful part of having a Mac and iPhone for me wa the ability to keep contacts syn'd...
It's ok for them no doubt with good and cheap internet access so they can use iCould every where..but not all the world is like that. Annoyed, angry fumin g....

Will this machine run Xcode 4?

Ive seen a fairly cheap macbook with this spec
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.4GHz
HARD DRIVE: 160GB
MEMORY: 2GB
MAC OS X: UPGRADED TO LION 10.7
Would that run Xcode okay or is that not enough for it to work well?

As always, upgrade your ram to the maximum the computer can handle...ram is cheap and will reap benefits in all things dev related as well as w/the OS.

Will Intel Macs run all PPC software?

I'm thinking of buying a new MacIntel computer and running Quicken is an absolute necessity and Virex (7.2) a close second and I was wondering if anyone knows if they will run on it as neither is Universal.
Are there any applications that won't run on the Intel Duo chips?
Thanks
It would be nice if there was a specific Forum for these kinds of questions.

Hello,
Not all PPC programs will run on Rosetta, but most will.
Virtual PC is the only program I know of right off, that will not run on Intel Mac's. But, it's not needed as they can run Windows without Virtual PC.
Also, any program that installs a control / icon in the Preference Panel is supposed to fail as well.
Maybe someone can comement on one, but as far as
I know none of the virus programs have gone
Universal and work correctly on a Intel Mac.
Norton Antivirus is Universal.

I prefer the free ClamXav.
But, ClamXav is not as novice friendly as people are accustomed to. It is better as a limited scanner.
It's e-mail integration is not as friendly, and can be quite damaging if you make a mistake.
But, it's manual scanner, and folder watching scanner are great.
I have it set to monitor everything I download to my desktop.
With the reported problems, and less than friendly e-mail integration, I would not use it to scan incoming e-mail.
For a free antivirus program, ClamXav is great. But, for those who want the ability to just install and forget it, you'll be better off with a commercial program.
Many web-browser plug-ins are also not yet universal. So, you'll have to run Safari in PPC mode to use some plug-ins.

Will this game run on my MacBook?

*I apologise if this sort of thread has popped up numerous times before but I am unsure whether my computer will be able to run the new Sims 3 game.*
*The requirements for the game are;*
**OPERATING SYSTEM**
**Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or higher**
*PROCESSOR*
**Intel Core Duo**
**MEMORY (RAM)**
*2GB*
**HARD DISK SPACE**
**6.1GB of space, 1 GB extra for saved games and custom content**
**VIDEO CARD**
**ATI X1600 or Nvidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of video RAM or Intel Integrated GMA X3100**
*I currently have 1 GB of RAM and plan to upgrade it to 2GB. However I think I only have GMA 950, whatever that means. Will I be unable to run this game?*
*Intel GMA 950:*
*Chipset Model: GMA 950*
*Type: Display*
*Bus: Built-In*
*VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory*
*Vendor: Intel (0x8086)*
*Device ID: 0x27a2*
*Revision ID: 0x0003*

According to the requirements:
+*This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.*+
While you don't have a PowerPC... you do have the GMA 950. As they specifically say it isn't compatible, there's probably no point in even trying. To be honest the x3100 would probably be just barely playable. Game manufacturers usually set the minimum requirements for hardware that will barely run it and up... so even meeting the minimum requirements does not mean you will have "good" performance.
There is unfortunately no way to add a card to improve your graphics capabilities. The Sims have traditionally been pretty light on their graphics requirements. With The Sims 3, they have beefed up the graphics a bit which knocks out some of the lower end GPUs.
