As it's a .exe file, only able to be executed using Windows through BootCamp or Parallels, would you be able to run it and overclock gpu/cpu through profile options and have them take effect in Mac OSX or would they only take effect when running Windows on the mac? Trying to find a way to clock my Mac OSX 10.5 2.2ghz 9400 chipset. Have read about it on forums, though i've not read if it will work when just running OSX as I don't regularly use windows.
Are there any programs that clear out a mac for what I used to use in windows, like the temp folder, unused programs, caches, cookies, etc. For some reason my mac has been acting a lot slower with the color pinwheel of lag coming in more and more, I only got it in October and i rarely have more than four programs open at a time.
It would appear that the new iPhoto app that is being prepared for cross-platform use is being optimzed for cross-platform as iWork applications have been. The tools for altering photos only has a fraction of the tools currently available in Aperture (and even less than available in platforms like Lightroom. There had been hope that with the new iMac Pro that there was going to be a supercharged version of Aperture...but no mention at that role out, nor in today's WWDC.
Is it possible to run the a MacPro under bootcamp all the time using a high end Nvidia or ATI graphics card?I would like to use the MacPro as a gaming PC.
It is incredible slow - freezes constantly unless on very low graphics in games like World of Warcraft so i'm assuming i need to upload graphics. So i went to the Nvidia website, and tried to update driver by following steps correctly, selecting the correct options, etc and it said it couldn't update for my system..How do i update my software so i can play without freezing?
This very fast and very expensive new video card for my Dual Core Powermac G5 doesn't seem to be speeding anything up for me. Is this because the graphics cards on PM G5's still rely on the CPU or something? It still stutters when I'm playing back certain video online.

can anyone tell me if there is any kind of utility, that will run from a CD and pre-boot an ibook G4, without ever loading the OS, where you can perform hard disk checks, changes etc. I'm looking for something like "Sysinternals ERD Commander, for PC", but for Mac. Also, is there an equivalent to Norton Ghost, for the Mac? So that I can take an image of everything on the mac hard disk, and just re-image back to that exact state, if I screw anything up?
So, I bought myself new Macbook Pro exactly 21 days ago, and was disappointed to find out that they refreshed it today.
However, I am heading to Apple Store Friday afternoon to find out what I can do to get that refreshed one. (I waited 7 month, until the last day of the presentation)So, to people with 320m graphics, are there any big difference? Does the battery lasts longer?
We are trying to install/update to the NVIDIA 270.00.00f06 driver for the PNY Quadro FX4800 for Mac on our MacPro 3,1 with OSX 10.7.4. The system tells us "No Driver Update Needed for this System", and will not allow driver to be installed. Can anyone advise if the current driver is automatically installed or provided by Apple Updates. If not can you provide proper instructions on how to properly update the driver. Also how can we confirm what driver version is currently installed.

I am going to college this year to study Graphic Design and i am looking to purchase a MBP 15". I have read a couple of other threads which cover similar questions however i am not truly satisfied with the answers i have read.
My MBP will have to run the following programs on a regular basis: Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash. It will also have to run basic tasks such as word processing, internet surfing and email. Finally i would also like to install parallels and XP on the machine just in case an work or applications need to be run on windows. Obviously all of these applications will not be running simultaneously however there is a strong chance 2 or 3 maybe running at the same time. My Imac deals with this without problems, will the MBP be the same?
my dad has Pro Tools 8 (the mbox) and he is wanting to plug it into his Mac Pro, however it seems there is only one FireWire port on the back of the Mac Pro, which is currently being used to power a 30" and 23" ACD.
How can this work? is there a firewire splitter, allowing you to use two firewire ports from one?Or anything else you can do, does anyone have any idea's?
im trying to get rid of my 3.1.2 dev tools because im upgrading to 3.1.3 and i try this "sudo perl /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl" but after i do that in terminal is says cant find the unistaller for devtools so can anyone help find a way to get rid of these devtools
I am working on a Mac Powerbook with OS 10.5.8. I thought I was confused, but when I use MS Word I could not locate certain functions. I discovered that when I open a new document the TOOL functions (between FONT and TABLE) located on the top of the screen disappears. As soon as I hit the button to open the new document it leaves the screen. It is there before I open the new document. I am not talking about the TOOLBOX. I have no problems with that. TOOLS includes things such as spelling check, creating envelopes etc.
So I'm interested in building my arsenal of Macbook servicing tools and I'm interested in finding out what is the best brand. I would imagine that tools are rather generic and brand not being an area of consideration. I just want to make sure I buy high quality tools for a high quality machine.
I was looking at the "al a carte" tools from ifixit and powerbookmedic. Seem inexpensive, but I probably wouldn't ever imagine spending more than five dollars for a screw driver anyway... Oh and with a coupon code, I can place 4 or 5 consecutive orders and get each tool for free and only pay shipping/handling
I will be starting my own business soon, providing various IT aspects for the SME market (up to 100 employees) anything ranging from technical support, to SEO and basic web design / development, including branding. Just wondering what tools you use for your business and how you are getting on with them, could be apple apps or online tools. Normally, I am a Windows guy for "business" but only because I use MS for servers and so on.
This is what I have so far; Freshbooks for accounting Basecamp for project management Evernote for receipts/ideas/snips of text Drop box for backup / online storage of documents Quicksilver Skype
I'm new to osx, and need windows for my work too. After playing a few days with the apple keyboard, I exchanged it for my old logitech keyboard. After a few weeks I got used to the Ctrl/Alt/Command key differences, but one think kept bothering me:
- Home / End Keys.
I know I can use Ctrl + Left or Ctrl+Right, to have the same effect as the home/end keys in windows. But I had to disable Spaces, because it also uses those keys. What kind of programs or hints are available to remap such behaviour. I found DoubleCommand, which says it works in Leopard 10.5.2, and it has this one option, but I can't seem to get it working.

Everything. Nothing works. They're all selectable, sure, but the cursor looks like the old Control-Click arrow and they do absolutely nothing. Photoshop CS5. Clearing out all preferences and secondary files doesn't work. Restoring from a once-working Time Machine backup doesn't work.
I've got 20 MP4 files I'm trying to merge into a single MP4. When I drag any one of the MP4 files into MKV Tools it comes up with an error that says: "The variable theTrackData is not defined. (-2753)". Can someone either help with a solution to the MKV Tools problem or suggest another program to merge MP4 files without losing any video quality.
So I had to take my macbook pro into the genius bar recently to replace my battery and they ran diagnostic tools from a nano. Anyone know how to get a hold of these tools or what they are?
So I'm an idiot I installed the developer tools cd not knowing WHAT the dilly yo was :-p and now I'm unable to take it out of my Hard Disk because it's owned by the system?? I'd kinda like to get this HD space back-how do i do that?
Will a Apple G5 M9032LL/A run pro tools. I'm looking to get a older model while on a budget to run pro tools.Is this model number M9032LL/A ok to use pro tools with. What version of pro tools can this machine run?
