Mac Pro :: 2008 With 4870x2 - Can't Get It Up With 10.6.2

Feb 1, 2010

I have a MacPro here with a 4870x2 connected, (using Apple's mini onboard PCIe 12v rails to supply power) in slot 2. (1x 24" Dell connected via DVI)OEM 2600 is in the 1st/bottom slot. (2 x 24" Dells connected via DVI)

I Decided to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, but am having a hell of a time getting the 4870x2 up and running. (PC side is obviously fine)

A couple of questions...

First of all... anyone got the 1-core driver active and happening so far? because I just assumed that it would be, considering it worked in Leopard.

Secondly, do I use the same instructions/howto that's for hackintosh's over at this forum?

I have tried the above, (both the "accel" download and the updated instructions/downloads to no avail)

At the moment, a vanilla install knows the card is there, as the "Arrangement" tab in the Displays System Preferences is coming up with 3 displays connected at 1920x1200, but the Dell screen connected to the 4870x2 is black. (orange standby light on)

After applying the updated instructions from the above link, I get a corrupted array of horizontal pixels just after the grey Apple logo on my 2600HD connected Dell screen. Other 2 displays are black during this and the whole machine is locked up... (not KP'd but screen sharing is not available either)

If someone has got this happening, could you please carefully outline your procedure step by step and also include links to files you used to get this card happening in 10.6.

Mac Pro :: Crossfire Working In OSX With The Goal Of Running A 4870x2?

Jun 15, 2009

The limitation for getting a 4870x2 working in OSX seems to be the lack of crossfire support. Crossfire is available in Linux and BSD, though I'm not sure to what extent and how well. So serious question time: What will it take to get crossfire working in OSX with the goal of running a 4870x2??? Seems to me it should be possible, I just don't know how.

MacBook :: Caps Lock Will Not Work At All On 2008, Still Won't Work When External Keyboard Is Connected

Feb 22, 2012

I have a 2008 black macbook with 10.7.2 installed (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). When I press caps lock, no green light turns on and letters remain in non-capital form. Even when I hold Caps lock for a few seconds, nothing happens. If I physically connect an apple keyboard via usb to my computer, caps lock doesn't work.

MacBook Pro :: Safari4.0 Doesn't Work - Shuts Down - Ichat Can't Work

Jul 8, 2009

I told myself not to do it. Don't update the Safari software to 4.0, you know how they always mess up these things. And yet, per accident I did. Of course Safari 4.0 doesn't work. Every time I open it, it shuts down. iChat also doesn't work anymore, and even the Dashboard shuts down every now and then. In addition, the computer feels incredibly slow. I can't download rapidshare links on iGetter anymore and everything just feels wrong. Countless threads have been opened on this matter with a variety of different problems for different people. Yet I have not read a proper solution. I have seen all kinds of technical solutions being offered but I'm not a computer wiz and I do not know the terms they use. I just want to go back to Safari 3.2 or at least the one before the 4.0 But I read that deleting Safari 4 and reinstalling 3.2 won't work because of a certain webkit that got installed with it, making it impossible to go back.

Software :: Won't Work To Stop Time Machine / Can't Work With Exe

Sep 3, 2009

Since I just lost my hard drive on my iMac 24 Intel, I am using external hard drive to backup via Time Machine. My question is what procedures are needed when you disconnect ext. hard drive? Do you change Time Machine from ON to OFF?

I know that I have to eject the ext. hard drive using proper commands, but what happens whenever I reinstall the ext. hard drive? Does Time Machine start over from the beginning or just update for changes since my last backup via Time Machine?

When I go on trips, I store ext hard drive in a safe and this is why I am asking.

Software :: Won't Work With File Size / Can't Work With Settings

Mar 23, 2008

Why are Apple applications are so much larger than similar Microsoft applications. Some examples: Word -12.7 MB and Pages - 273.4 MB: Excel - 11.7 MB and Numbers - 138.6 MB. Both Word and Excel are sophisticated programs and I would have assumed they would be large, and that since Pages and Numbers are relatively new so they would be lean, but the opposite seems to be the case. They all work well except Numbers is slow. Is that a function of size? Is obesity epidemic in programming as well as programmers?

Applications :: Won't Work With Final Cut / Can't Work With Dissolve And Colors

Jan 26, 2009

Just made an image slideshow in Final Cut.

Just a bunch of images and some audio.

When I export via File > Export > Quicktime Movie..., the cross dissolves between images disappear when I watch the movie in Quicktime.

When I export via File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion... the color looks horrible in the Quicktime movie.

Mac Pro :: Won't Work With Dual 4870's / Can't Work With 2nd Graphic Card

Jul 17, 2009

In the last 2 weeks before my MP shipped, I've asked 3 Apple Geniuses at Apple stores and Apple Tech support about running dual DVI 23" Cinema Displays with 4870's. They ALL said I would need a second card. When I attempted the install, there were only 2 power cord clips on the back face of the main board. Both being used by the onboard Radeon 4870. What to do next? Another call to Apple support offered me a nice Indian girl who I could not really understand. Finally, I called a local non-Apple shop that I frequent for hardware and service issues. The very nice service tech told me to take the 2nd card back, since that original 4870 will drive 2 monitors perfectly, in my case, with a simple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor for the 2nd 23" display.

how would you install any 2nd graphics card, if a 4870 takes up both power clips?

OS X :: Won't Work With Game Graphics / Can't Work On Full Screen

Jan 12, 2010

I'm on a IMac OS X (version 10.5.8) and I just noticed a bit of a change in the graphics while playing Heroes of Newerth. I left all the graphic stuff on medium quality, and I've noticed now that when it is on full screen the picture is sketchy. When I minimize the full screen (apple m) i realize its a lot smoother than it is in wide screen (no kidding huh?). Before I thought it was just due to me having the IMac wireless, but I've noticed it's been happening for a week already and I usually get better bandwidth when no one is home. So is this a graphics card issue or what and if so how would i deal with this?

PowerPC :: Won't Work With G4 Temp / Can't Work With Average

Sep 21, 2006

Just had to replace the logic board on my PMG4 DP 1.25GHz machine. For the life of me, I can't remember the operating temperature before I swapped the board. Currently it's running at 130F - 140F. This seem about right for the other folks running these machines?

Mac Pro :: Won't Work With 24" ACD To 4870 / Can't Work With Adaptor

Mar 13, 2010

I just picked up a second 24" ACD with the mini display port. I already have one, so the mini display port on my 4870 is in use. So I think I need an adaptor to go from the MDP on the second display to the DVI on the 4870.

However, this adaptor has a male MDP and a female DVI. The ACD has a male MDP, so I think I need an adaptor which is a female MDP and a female DVI.

I find it a little strange that it is so difficult to put two identical monitors on the Mac Pro. I did search the forums, but kept getting hits for the above adaptor and I am not sure how it would work.

Mac Pro :: Won't Work With Ram / Can't Work With Setup

May 1, 2008

I just got my new Mac Pro and installed a second 8800GT which works perfectly fine, and also 8GB (2x4) of OWC RAM. When I boot the system it now says 8GB RAM instead of the 10GB I have installed (8GB from OWC and 2GB default Apple).

I have them installed as:

Riser 1:
2GB | 2GB | 2GB | 2GB

Riser 2:
empty | empty | 1GB | 1GB

The little book that came with the system said if I had 3 pairs to use slots 3&4 which is why I set it up that way. Are there any issues with doing this? Do I have the RAM in the right slots? How can I set this up to see the full 10GB?

OS X :: Won't Work With Log In / Locked Out

Mar 10, 2008

I was looking to modify OSX's main menu, y'know, top left, with the apple? I was trying to remove a button.

I had activated the root user account, and successfully modded the menu to add characters to one of the buttons. The file I edited was in here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Resources/English.lproj/ (after this I get fuzzy)/SystemMenu/Objects.xml

I don' remember the exact name, nor do I have access to it... as once I had successfully modded the menu the first time, I tried commenting out the menu object altogether in the XML file, and when I rebooted, I couldn't log on!

Whenever I clicked a user and started typing in the password box, no *** password characters were displayed, and the computer would go back a step, and ask me to chose a user again! The keyboard was working, as I was able to go to the Boot manager and choose to boot off a CD. I am reinstalling right now to fix the issue (the computer needs to be used ASAP), but I am curious as to what the problem may have been. It seems like with all the menu mods out there, this modification would not be unusual.

OS X :: Work With 10.5 And Printer On Win XP?

Mar 22, 2008

I am an ex Windows user that finally saw the light, and bought a Mac with the latest OSX 10.5
My wife still belongs to the dark side and her computer runs XP. Our printer is connected via USB to her computer. I have tried to find out how to setup so that I can print from my Mac onto the printer through her computer. I am on a wireless network and file sharing is working fine. I googled the printer subject, but the only tutorials I found were outdated. Also, the printer I am trying to install is not in the default drivers preinstalled or available on OSX. The printer is a Canon MF4150.

Mac Pro :: ECC REG Can Work With Mac Pro 2009 Or Not?

Aug 24, 2010

I am building my Mac Pro, I want to have 3 X4GB ddr3 memory on my Mac Pro.

I know this is ECC memory and Registered, and Mac Pro uses unbufferred ECC.

Can some one confirm me if Mac Pro can be put with it (as the below linked ebay item)? From the searched threads, some said yes with speed penalty, but he points to a wikipedia page to explain the speed difference could caused, not confirmed based on experience though. I am not concerned with the speed difference, if there is but minimal. Cost is my concern. I wanted to know if those DRAMs work fine in 2009 Mac Pro. Any body tried before?
