Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

Mac mini core duo graphics card

We are considering getting mac mini core duos for our kids -- but a question has arisen about the graphics card for both OS -- mac and windows. Is it powerful enough to handle games? My partner is concerned that as the games get heavier, 3D, etc., the mini graphics card may not be able to handle them well enough.
Thanks!
susan

sadly, he is right...although the mini can handle 3D games, the quality is what you would expect from an integrated graphics chip...extra RAM is a must, but for it to handle games 2, 3 years from now, the mini may not be your best option...anything with a dedicated graphics card would be better

Graphics card not recognized by Windows

My Mac Pro has its original nVidia 7300 and an upgraded nVidia 8800GT. A game compatibility problem suggested it was time to update the graphics drivers. Everything was working OK until I went to update the nVidia/WindowsXP driver. The Windows Device Manager only sees the 7300, and not the 8800GT. Seems odd, since the display was plugged into the 8800GT, and it worked OK except for the game. However, since Device Manager did not recognize the 8800GT, I could not update its driver. I did upgrade the 7300 driver and this fixed the compatibility problem when I moved the display to the 7300 port.
I'd like to use the better performance of the 8800GT, but Windows doesn't see it and therefore I can't procede with the upgrade. Is it possible to use this card with Windows?

Which drivers are you trying to use? the 7300 may not be compatible with the latest, and you need to use Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode to properly update graphics drivers (I saw 3DMark06 go from 5000 to 8000 as a result).

This seems to be an issue with CC, as the graphics processor is recognized just well by CS6. All settings are exactly the same in CC and CS6.

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.

Graphics Card Not Recognized under Mavericks Update? MacBook Pro 8,2

Every since I updated my macbook to mavericks, my dedicated graphics card is not recognized under system profiler or any software on the computer. I have the Macbook Pro 8,2 (late 2011) and the upgraded dedicated GeForce graphics card from the factory. My system is just running off of the integrated intel graphics at this point and there is no option to switch back in system preferences. Is my card just dead in there or did mavericks ignore it? I have no other operating systems to check. Should I just make an applestore appointment and get it looked at?

Found the solution ... finally!
Go to your system preferences - energy saver and then check if your Graphics setting is set to »higher performance«. Somehow the update to Mavericks change this setting to »better battery life«
Now both cards are recognized and running ... however, watch out: since I changed that setting, my fans are going crazy! ... so I'm not sure if I should keep it. It would be much easier if one could change the setting all the time without the need to logout and login again ... well, Apple though good isn't the Holy Grail

Dedicated graphic card not recognized

Hello there, I have bought a Lenovo G500 with a i3 3110m proccesor 4 gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 8570m graphics card. I have a very big problem now, a couple of hours ago I got a blue screen of death and since then, my dedicated graphics card isn't recognized, only the Intel one. I tried doing a system restore of yesterday when I installed some programs, that didn't work, I did another one for about a week ago, I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, I even installed an older one to see if anything works, but nothing yet. Something like this happened before but I don't know how it got fixed, I'm asking for someone's help because I really don't know what to do, the notebook is only a couple of months old and I don't think it should be acting this way. Thank you.

Do you have the latest version of bootcamp? If not, download it and recreate your driver cd then when in bootcamp install the new drivers

HELP!!! Graphics Card Not Recognized in Windows 7

Hey all,
I'm running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate on my 11.6" MacBook Air (Stats Below) and for a while every once in a while I would have to reboot Windows 7 to get it to recognize the GPU. Now it won't recognize it at all and I can only get up to 1024x768 resolution. It works fine in Snow Leopard and shows up in the Windows Performance Information, but has the 320M's memory listed as Zero Megabytes. Has anyone encountered this; does anyone have a solution? Can I use the drivers Nvidia provides on their website to update?

This worked like a charm for me, thank you. I have this problem on a fairly regular basis, and have various theories about how to prevent it... mainly that you have to unplug all your external USB devices and ethernet connection before shutting down your system... which seems to work a lot of the time, but not all the time, plus I forget to do this piece of "magic" reasonably often - and it might actually just be wrong, but it seems to have descreased the frequency of the problem. Usually just re-installing Bootcamp over the top of itself solves the problem, sometimes not, at which picking a recent System Restore point usually does the trick... but this last time neither of those solutions worked. Uninstalling the driver and rebooting worked!! Smart, should have thought of that myself a long time ago. Thanks again!!

Snow Leopard on a 1.83 White iMac Core Duo w/ GMA 950 Integrated Graphics?

Hi. My parent's computer is an older, white iMac with a GMA 950 integrated graphics. Currently it's running Tiger and it runs very well.
However, I am in town for a short bit and was thinking about updating their system while I'm here. Does the iMac 1.83 with integrated graphics run Snow Leopard very well? Or should I just leave Tiger on it?

Anyone with a 1.83 iMac Core Duo with integrated graphics (NOT the ATX 128 mb graphics) running Snow Leopard?

Imac Core Duo Crashing ......A Cry For Help

I received my eagerly awaited iMac core duo 17' 160gb. I took it out of the box and it work away fine. When I was installing Norton Anti Virus the installer quit before the full install was complete. I then restarted the iMac and the welcome to OS X progress bar completes and after that all that appears is a blue screen. I do have mouse movement but no login window appears. I have tried reinstalling the OS X software from the software restore disc that came with the iMac but this did not fix the problem. I then opened disk utilty on the the software restore disk and did what first aid was available on this disk, but again no fix. I tried booting from a Disk Warrior bootable disk but this disk will not boot. Through total desperation I opened disk utilty on the restore disk and went to intialise the drive, but the drive will not erase.
All suggestions of a fix or any assistance in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. To say that I an frustrated,stressed and demented over this would be a understatement.
Thanks in Advance

Last time I installed Anti-Virus on one of my Mac's. It was a terrible experience on my G5. Not to say AntiVirus is bad to install, but currently there is absolutely no reason to install one.
Really... don't waste money or cpu cycles on antivirus until there is a reason, right now there is this golden halo that protects mac from viruses. I really don't know why mac's rarely if ever have a virus, but I really don't question it either.

Nikon Coolscan V ED and iMac Core Duo

Anybody using their Coolscan V ED, or another film or flatbed scanner, with the new iMac Core Duo? I plan purchasing the CS V ED in the very near future, but unsure whether it will work well with the new iMac.

Here is my little exchange with Nikon today...
After they referred me to the FAQ that I already read.
ME: "Thank-you for your reply but I still think you've failed to answer my question. The article you refer me to with your link is main reason I contacted you. I'd like you to escalate this issue to somebody that can answer my questions in more detail...
Which BRAND-NEW Macintosh computers are supported with the Nikon LS5000 scanners?
Does Nikon intend to support Mac? If so, then when, since all new Macintosh computers now have Intel processors?
It's already been four months of new Intel Macs, I'd expect Nikon to have at least some small idea of how much longer would before the Mac platform is again supported?
What's even more disturbing is that I only stumbled upon this issue by browsing this support forum. I was on the verge of purchasing at least four and possibly up to eight scanners and corresponding computers. That would have been a financial disaster for my company considering the lack of support and the seeming lack of concern by Nikon regarding the new Mac computers.
NOWHERE in your sales literature or the Nikon Coolscan website does it say that Macs with Intel processors are not supported. The sales literature only states that Macs require at least a G3 processor or better. Most people would read that and assume that a brand new Mac with the latest processor would be better than a G3.
Shame on Nikon for hiding this issue under the rug and not providing a prompt solution for their very loyal customers."
NIKON: "Hello,
These days new operating system version pop up every other week.
We strive to keep our products up to date with the latest operating systems out there, and work closely with Microsoft and Apple to see that this support comes as quickly as possible.
Apple is still offering systems with the PowerPC processors, like the iBook G4, Power Book G4, and the Power Mac G5.
As of today, we do not support the new Mac systems with the Intel chipset, but this is currently being looked into. We have no other information to offer at this time.
Thank you,
Dave"
ME: "These days new operating system version pop up every other week." LOL- You must be thinking of Windows where there are nearly a dozen versions not counting the new Vista.
But I understand. Nikon is working on it and you have no further information. That's fine.
However, your sales literature is seriously flawed. It says that the scanner will be compatible with a G3 or better processor. If your equipment doesn't work with the newer Intel processor, then it's NOT compatible with a G3 or better; it's ONLY compatible with a G3, G4, & G5.
My complaint is that you should either make a note in your literature at least for your vendors or issue an estimated date of when you're going to fix the problem.
As I explained, this is a PRE-SALES question and your attitude towards me is troubling. I was looking to purchase between four and eight of these scanners and because of inaccurate information in YOUR brochures, I almost purchased thousands of dollars of useless computer systems.
Maybe you should forward my question up the chain of command at Nikon... to somebody that cares more about what POTENTIAL customers think.
Meanwhile, I will post this issue at dozens of Mac user forums so that others don't make a big mistake by thinking a new Nikon scanner will work on their new Mac computer system.
NIKON: "Hello,
We certainly do care about potential customers, which is why we will not offer any software that is not ready to be released. Software development takes a very long time to finalize, and involves a huge amount of testing before it is published publicly. Our timetable for software release for this new technology is unclear at this point, and we apologize for that.
As for the product literature, it will be updated to include this new item in time, and our vendors are supplied with up to date support information on a regular basis. At the time of publication, all information on the brochures was correct and up to date.
Thank you for pointing that out, however, and I will be happy to pass your comments onto our QA team for review.
Regards,
Dave"
I think everyone with a Nikon Scanner who is considering the purchase of an Intel Mac or vice-versa should send Nikon a flood of complaints regarding the issue. How long can this really take them? The new Macs have been out for quite a while now.
In my experience, Nikon has excellent equipment but once they identify an issue, they do nothing to resolve it. It gets swept under until the next scanner is released.
Example: The older LS-4000 scanner had firewire communication "issues". Issues that were never fully resolved but the LS-5000 scanner is now USB-2.0

Can't videochat with iMac Core Duo, can with PowerBook G4

Hi everyone. My girlfriend and I live in different time zones, so we've been using iChat (me) and AIM 5.9 (her) for the last year to videochat. My PowerBook's screen died recently, so I bought an iMac Core Duo, and all of a sudden, we can't connect anymore. Here's my setup:
20" iMac Core Duo:
Mac OS X 10.4.5, iChat AV 3.1.4
Connects using wireless
No firewall
17" PowerBook G4 1GHz:
Mac OS X 10.4.5, iChat AV (whichever version comes with 10.4.5 for PPC)
Connects using wireless
No firewall
AirPort Express:
Firmware 6.3 (tested with 6.1.1 as well)
NAT, no port forwarding
Whenever I attempt to videochat with my girlfriend using the iMac, I get an error stating "Prachi Gauriar[me] did not respond." I browsed the discussion boards here and found the testing screen names (thanks Ralph!).
With the iMac, I can connect to Mac users, including appleu3test01, appleu3test02, and friends of mine. I cannot connect to RjinWI PC via AirPort Express (same error as above). It does work when I connect my machine directly to my cable modem.
With the PowerBook, I can connect to both Mac users and RjinWI PC via AirPort Express.
Bottom line: Using the exact same setup on my PowerBook and iMac, the PowerBook works and the iMac doesn't. I suspect this has to do with the new AirPort Extreme cards that are being used in the iMacs, but I'm not sure.
Has anyone worked around this? I'm kind of avoiding setting up port forwarding on the AirPort Express, as it's troublesome and doesn't really seem to be the problem. I'm willing to do it, but I guess I just don't expect it to work, so I'm hoping someone else has another suggestion.
20" iMac Core Duo (Early 2006) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Rj,
It seems many people are forgetting the tweaks they made to get ichat 3 to work on Tiger on Non intels when they switch.
I would check System preferences > Quicktime and set the Streaming speed to match their download.
Next I would be concerned about iChat Add-ons that are written for PCC (non Intel) code and set iChat to Open With Rosetta in the File menu and re-start iChat
iChatUSBCam is not ready yet.
iGlasses is.
Showmacster seems it is not.
Lastly I would ask how the ports are opened for iChat in the Modem (or Router) IF Port Forwarding are they pointing to the old Mac ?

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Printer recommendations for iMAc Core Duo

Greetings! I need a recommendation from anyone who is successfully using a multi function printer with an iMac Core Duo. I am returning an EPSON CX5800f because the scanning driver does not work. The printer works great but the scanner does not. Any success stories? Thanks Billy D

Hello, again! I am back. I returned the EPSON today and I am looking at an HP OfficeJet 7310 for printing, faxing, and scannng on my iMac Core Duo running OS 10.4.6. Any one with good or bad experiences with the 7310? I received an email back from HP saying that the 7310 would work with Intel Macs but I see no such indication on their web site driver download page. Plus HP has not said that the scanning driver for the 7310 would work with the iMac Core Duo. Any comments? Thanks!

External Hard Drive and iMac Core Duo

I purchased a new iMac Core Duo and also have a iMac G4.
I transferred my data from the old computer to the Core Duo with no problems. I have a Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive on the old mac. Everything transferred well including the external hard drive.... everything worked well until yesterday. Something happened, I don't know what. The Core Duo no longer recognizes my external drive, and I can't reload it. I tried to migrate all of my files from the old mac to the new, But that doesn't work anymore either. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have an awful lot of data that I really would like to have again on the new Core Duo.

I think my new iMac just fried my external Lacie d2. I kept my iphoto library on the d2 and was working in iphoto and suddenly photos started disappearing. When I rebooted, the drive was fried. Disk Utility couldn't repair it.

What can I do about my 20 inch iMac (Core Duo) doing a LOT of disk activity?

What can I do about my 20 inch iMac (Core Duo) doing a LOT of disk activity?
I have iStat and can see the disk activity which halks other operations till it finishes.
Is there some built-in Optimization software I should use?
Thanks,
Tom
