With SSD as primary drive, still need 2nd drive for audio?

If I get an SSD drive as my primary, would I still need a 2nd drive for recording audio? I thought the main reason for needing a 2nd drive was that the 1st drive would be bust moving its needle arounf doing OS stuff (and thus, you wouldn'[t want your audio recording to compete).
But since the SSDs have no moving parts, no needles, heads, etc., would one big SSD drive get the job done? Or, am I still going to want a 2nd drive for audio.
I'm very mobile and would love not to have to lug around a 2nd drive. But if I need to, I need to.
Thanks for any comments,
Ron

I'm not using it as a scratch drive.
My current setup is as follows:
128 GB SSD (Patriot TorqX - 260 Read 200 Write) for OS and Applications
4 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Buffer Hard Drives in Software Raid 0 for Scratch.
I also have 1 650MB Hard Drive (Shipped with Mac Pro) that I can use.
I am shooting in HD via an AVCHD Camcorder. Importing/Converting to ProRes. Editing in FCP. Then exporting to three formats (DVD, AVCHD DVD for use in Blu-Ray Set Tops, and some form of Divx for use on a Windows Media Center). Most "Movies" are 20-30 minutes in length.
I am thinking about returning the SSD as I'm having some issues with it. With the drives I have in hand (or if I need something else, let me know), what configuration do you recommend.

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer for syncing etc?

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer?

Only you can make that decision. If you say that all of your computer needs are met, then you have answered the question yourself.
I would never rely totally on iCloud for backups. I want more control than what Apple has to offer with iCloud and I don't want to have to pay for the storage that I need as the content on my iPad continues to grow. I realize that I had to buy the computer, as well, but I can backup my iPad to iTunes, backup my iTunes library with Time Machine and backup other files with another external drive that I have connected to my MacBook Pro.
I just don't trust all of my content being in the cloud or in Aplple's servers. Just a matter of choice.

I want to use my canon pixma ip4500 as my printer with my good ole G4. I need a driver. Is there an easy way to get that or is my G4 too old?

I want to use my canon pixma ip4500 as my printer with my powerbook G4. I need a driver but was very confused with how to get one. Is it possible and could someone come down to my level and tell me step by step how to do it? Many thanks.

Nope, your PB is not too old.
Here is the link to the PIXMA ip4500 drivers on Canon's site:
Drivers & Software
The page has you first select your version of the Mac OS (10.4) from the pull-down "Chose Operating System" menu. Once selected, you'll see the available software, Click on the arrown next to "Drivers" and it should look like this:
(click image to enlarge if needed)
Click the word "Download " and you'll get the driver.
Note at the top of that image there are other links to other documents pertaining to this printer. If you click on "Brochures and Manuals," while you are on that web page, you'll have Canon's instructions, probably better done than by anyone here other than someone who has the same printer model on a Mac running OS 10.4.

Laserwriter Pro 630 with Linksys Router. Do I need a driver?

I have a two Powerbook G4s and a Linksys Wireless G router. I want to use the Laserwriter Pro 630 wirelessly through the router. How do I do this?
I first tried by connecting this printer via ethernet cable directly from my laptop to the printer. The printer has a Farallon ethernet adapter. The computer could not find the printer.
Do I need a driver for this printer?
-Luis
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

To be able to use the printer connected directly to the PowerBook you may need to use a crossover cable if you have an older PowerBook. The driver is built into OS X. Also you need to make sure that AppleTalk is turned on for the ethernet port. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339353&tstart=0 for details.
To try and set it up wirelessly you will need to switch AppleTalk to Airport and go through the same setup as above. You may not be able to print wirelessly as a lot of routers do not work with AppleTalk. Another possibility is to get a parallel print server, which uses TCP/IP.

Does anyone know what driver I need to download for my shuffle to work?

I posted my problem previously in "My shuffle must have transcended the time-space continuum!"
In the meantime, I called Apple Care. Great job, very polite and helpful. Thank you Apple!!
Together the agent and I discovered that my Toshiba laptop does not have the drivers needed in order for the ipod to be recognized. Without said driver, I won't be able to use my ipod at all. She said that even with the article that Apple Support has about Toshiba laptops and ipod, that there are still kinks in it.
So, my question is this...do any of you people out there who are more computer literate than I am know what I should look for to download? The Apple agent didn't know what specific driver I should look for. If anyone knows, please help!
In the meantime, I'm going to peruse Toshiba's website and see if I can find anything.

I had the same suggestion given to me by Apple... I went to my USB card manufacturer website (In my case, VIA Communications) and got some info on their forum.
The most I can understand right now (although I haven't solved my own iPod problem) is that first, you should try updating drivers by right-clicking everything individually in the Device Manager under the "USB" section, and clicking on "Update Driver." Also, make sure you have Windows Service Pack 2, and try updating all of your drivers by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . The Toshiba website might have a driver update or a patch, also... I'd look around, anyway.
I updated my drivers (which didn't work), and then I came across a paragraph on VIA's website that says:
"Through feedback in the forums and hundreds of emails over the years, we know that technical support hot-lines for many peripheral (as in printer/scanner/camera etc) manufacturers, tell their customers to "update the drivers" or "update the controller". ... The controller cannot be updated without updating your motherboard to a motherboard that has a later revision controller. ... This is inbuilt and cannot be updated. The advice you received to update the driver or controller, probably means that they recommend that you update the VIA chipset or platform drivers. ... it may well be that the peripheral USB device you want to install is too new for your motherboard and therefore not compatible."
Basically, this means that if it doesn't work after the driver update, it may not be a driver issue, but a power issue.
I've been told (not by Apple) to try buying an external USB hub that plugs into the wall. I haven't yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post whether or not it works, lol. For other people, an internal USB2.0 PCI card worked, but I'm not sure if laptops work with them...
Hope you (and I, and everyone) get it figured out!

I no longer have an iphone. Do I still need mobile me for the ipod touch?

I no longer have an iphone. Do I need mobileme for my ipod touch?

You didn't need MobileMe for your iPhone either, per se. What was it about the service that caused you to sign up? Was it the "Find My iPhone" service? If so, that would still be perhaps useful for the iPod touch, though since the iPod has no GPS locations may be less accurate.
If that doesn't answer your question, please post back with further information about your needs and what you're asking about.
Regards.

27" iMac with SSD only: can you add a Hard drive later on?

I'm thinking of ordering a BTO 27" i7 iMac with onl the SSD, but am wondering if it will then have the internal brackets or space to take a secondary hard drive should I choose to install one later on?
Yes, I'm comfortable opeing up an iMac. I considered ordering just the HDD model then adding an SSD later on, but the steps for that seem more involved, taking out many more components.

Better to order it with both the SSD and a 1 or 2T SATA, because
1. You could void your warranty.
2. iMac's built after 2009 can only use certian drivers with specific built in thermal sensors.

Why I still need to pay for the apps which I purchased when I downloaded in my 2nd iPad? For example the flashcards, I need to pay again for the additional games... Please help.

I have paid for the additional games in my first iPad, when I download it again from purchased history, and execute it, it prompt me a request payment dialog. The truth is, I have paid it previously? Is it a normal for this kind off apps which is lite (free), and paid for upgrade would not have the previlage for second device?

Hi John,
I agree with you, I downloaded it using the same apple id, and it is free even though for the first time downloading. We need to pay when we wanted to buy additional game/flash cards, but for my ipad2, when i select the one I have been purchased before for the additional cards, it prompt request payment... I am doubtful whether it will charge or not.....
Regards,
Anthony

Why is my new download of DPS App Builder still coming up with the notification that I still need to update to the latest release when I already have??!!!

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

There is no "release 32" of DPS going out today, and there are no updates to the InDesign panels. We are pushing out a minor update to release 31 with some new features in the Android and Windows viewers and some minor bug fixes elsewhere.

Mac Pro 1,1 needs 2nd card for 3rd display

I have dual core (2.66 GHz) Mac Pro 1,1 with 8 GB ram, 120 Gig SSD boot drive, 1-500 internal HD and and external FW 120 Mg
Am sticking with SL 10.8.6 for another year or two, as I have too many Rosetta-dependent apps and too little money.
Am running two 23" Cinema displays with the original Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT card, both @ a 1920 x 1200 res, 32 bit color.
However, I need more 'desktop', as I do a lot of multi-window tasking (6-8-10 windows up and active at a time).
I want to add another used 23" Cinema dislay at 1920 x 1200, 32 bit color for a total of three monitors.
Next year, I may swap out one of my 23" displays for a 27" or a 30"
What is the cheapest graphics card to add for the third display?
I assume that another Apple GeoForce 7300 GT MA567Z/A is my best bet?
Best price I have seen for a Apple GeoForce 7300 GT MA567Z/A is about $130-$140. Is that a good price?
I assume that the plain GeoForce 7300 GT, @ about $30, is not designated for, and will not work in a Mac. Correct?
95% of what I do:
Lots of spreadsheets with simple charts.
Thunderbird mail
Web browsing,
Lots of research and writing in Word
Lots of text and photo 'cut and paste'.
A small amount of low end photo editing
A small website
A few relatively small drawings with McDarft.
I don't do:
games
video, movie, sound editing
any other high graphic demand stuff.
I am only using about 60 GB of disk memory
Thanks for any advice which would add to my previous homework.
I love these forums!

Sorry, I forgot to add that small detail..
I can switch both connections and it'll work for the mac part of the deal but the windows end cant switch screens - making the apple display the primary display on windows..
now it sounds like a "windows" issue doesnt it!?heh

Pull out Optical Drive and add 2nd drive to non server 2010 Mini

Is the internal set up the same on the server and non server 2010 mac mini?
I have a 120GB SSD drive that I would love to install as my boot drive and then take out the optical drive and move the 500GB HDD to that spot. I can put the optical drive in an external case and connect as needed via USB. Is this possible with the NON server Mini?

Yes.

Which DAQ Driver I need to use for PCIe 6321 card

I tried to install DAQ 9.2.1mx downloaded from net, but then I was unable to use DAQmx related sub VI's.... Then I tried DAQ 9.0mx but same happened with that also... Please suggest the solution.
Any help from your side will be appreciated... Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LabVIEW 7.1 is too old, 8.5, 8.6, 2009 may be better. At the same you should choose the corresponding DAQ driver.

Download site - OSX still need option-link for PPC

at this page: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
ONLY the intel version is showing.
Yes, I understand that the PPC version isn't the latest...but that doesn't mean you don't still link to the last released version that does work with PPC.
THANKS

Hi, I'm glad you were able to find that version. Just for a future reminder, as soon as Adobe updates Flash Player, within a day, the previous version goes into the Archives.
I agree that when a particular OS is not going to be supported with a FP version, to give direction to the Archived Versions.
Thanks for marking your thread as answered, hopefully other users will be helped also. Glad you put in your subject what your thread is about. I think another user just this week had a PPC, but I see so many threads in a day, it could have been this morning, LOL Just seems like last week:-)
