Windows On Mac :: 7 32-bit: Only 2.18 Gb Of Ram - GPU Has So Little Memory Onboard?

Aug 26, 2010

I installed Windows 7 32-bit with bootcamp on a 2010 15 inch MBP with 256mb 330m Gt.

However, Windows 7 reports that 2.18 Gb out of the 4 Gb is usuable How is that even possible since the GPU has so little memory onboard?

Mac Mini :: Disable The Onboard Bluetooth And Use Dlink?

Mar 27, 2009

I have a Intel Mini Core 2 Duo (1.8x Ghz)I broke the bluetooth antennae connector inside the case while upgrading the memory. My BT keyboard and mouse continues to work, but only with the case open, and when they are very close to the computer.I have located a replacment bluetooth board, but before I spent any mulah to fix the problem, I am wondering if it would be possible to just use a Dlink BT 120 USB device that I already own.From what I can tell this particular device is one of a few that will specifically work with Macs. In reading it sounds like it should work without any needed drivers.

Power Mac G5 :: DVD Onboard Burning Software (Error Code 0x8002006D)

Nov 1, 2007

Shortly before switching to Tiger, I was having problems burning DVD's. I noticed it first with toast, but found that it also was happening with the onboard burning software for Mac OS X. Every time I tried burning, it would start into the burn and then give me this error: Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error code 0x8002006D). I did a hardware test, reinstalled system software, and searched all over Google for any possible solutions. I found tons of people with the same problems, but everyone's solutions seemed to differ, and non seemed to work conclusively.

Some said that the lazer was having calibration problems and suggested using a cleaning DVD. Others said that if I created a new user and switched, then it would work. I tried that, and it just got worse. Others said that the media was not good but I've burned with the exact same media in the recent past, and it worked just fine then. Why would it stop accepting a certain type of media all of the sudden. Besides. My co-workers have the same computers, and they can burn just fine. Do I need a new drive, or is it just a simple software problem? CDs burn fine, but no DVD-Rs.

Hardware :: Skype Does Not Recognize Firewire Camcorder OnBoard Microphone But IChat Does

Feb 25, 2009

I'm attempting to use a Canon Optura 300 MiniDV camcorder as a webcam for Skype on a current-generation Intel Mac Mini, running Mac OS X 10.5.6 Server with the latest release of Skype.

Connected via Firewire (1394a 6 to 4 pin) Skype recognizes the camera without any problems and the image is crystal clear, but it does not recognize the camera's built-in microphone as a sound input option. Testing with iChat, Apple's software does recognize the on-camera mic as sound input (and passes-through fine), but it never actually appears as an input option in the System Preferences' Audio panel, which I think is the root of Skype's problem.

The Optura, with a wide-angle lens attached, gives us a wider field of view than our external iSight, making it more useful for showing off our newborn, from the comfort of our living room (without having to huddle around the MBP), to friends and family currently far afield. (Plus, since the Mini in question is our media server, we can Skype via our HDTV.)

Windows On Mac :: Installing Windows Via Parallels Or Boot Camp Partition / Memory Required?

Sep 15, 2009

I just purchased a new iMac (2.66 c2d & 4gb of ram), Parallels 4, and Windows XP. I would like to get great performance whenever I use Windows XP and would like to know which installation procedure would help accomplish that.

Would Parallels provide me with a better user experience by installing Windows directly via Parallels OR by having Parallels utilizing a Boot Camp Partition? Which is better and why? Also, how much memory should I allocate to Parallels/Windows XP?

Mac :: XP Or Windows 7 - Which Required Less Memory?

Dec 11, 2010

What would be the best Windows OS for me to buy for a I'll be using it mainly to run some online poker third party software that can only run with a windows OS. A pro on youtube said he decided to use XP for his MAC since it required less memory. However his article was in 2009, so I'm not sure if Windows 7 would be better and more up to date. I'll be using parallels as well. My biggest concern is slowing up my computer or not having it run smooth. Should I get XP or windows 7? Please be specific. 32 or 64 bit, and what version, Home, Business, Ultra, etc.

OS X :: Windows Not Recognizing Memory Stick (FAT)

Oct 22, 2009

I've partitioned my 8GB USB memory stick using Disk Utility in Snow Leopard and gave it the format of MS-DOS(FAT). It completes successfully, and works within Snow Leopard however when I plug it into Windows, it says its unformatted and needs formatting. It only gives me the option to format 200MB!!! What is going on? I know formatting more than 2GB in FAT is impossible or something but I did it with my external HDD and it works perfectly in Windows.

Windows On Mac :: PAE Support For Memory Utilization?

Apr 14, 2010

So I have a MacBook 4,1 with Windows 7 32bit installed via bootcamp. I would install 64bit however at the current time the drivers don't exist for older Macbooks for Windows 7. Anyways, I have 4GB of RAM installed and as most are aware, 32bit Windows only recognizes like 3.5GB or RAM. For some reason my Windows 7 tells me I only have 3.0GB... but that is beside the point. I want 4GB useable. Back when I had Windows XP installed, I remember enabling PAE support to allow for using 4GB... however I don't remember how I did it and I'm also sure it's a bit different in Windows 7. So long story short, anyone know how to enable PAE in Windows 7 so I can utilize 4GB of RAM? Also I've heard there are some issues even if you can get this working.

Windows On Mac :: Win7 32bit Installed - Only 2.73GB Memory Usable

Oct 1, 2009

I've had my iMac for just under a week now, and I wanted to play some games, so I did a Time Machine backup, and ran BootCamp. Vista install disk wouldnt work, so I used my copy of the Windows 7 RC1 32bit. That worked fine, its installed and working just fine, but when I went to check what it would show under "System" in the control panel, it shows my memory as 4.00GB and says 2.73GB useable. Is this normal? I know that 32 bit cuts off memory at around 3.23GB, and I was under the impression with Windows 7 and Vista SP1 the limitation was supposed to be moved to 4GB. Is this something I should be worried about? Also, I get some really bad lag spikes on Windows.

OS X :: Adding Memory And Then Running The Memory Utility Application?

Mar 21, 2009

I just bought a early 2009 MAC Pro and it came with 3GB of RAM, I ordered 3 2GB sticks of memory to replace the 3 1GB sticks that I had in there from Kingston. I turned off the unit, I popped the little levers and pulled the memory out of slot 1, 2, 3 and then replaced the memory with the new Kingston in slot 1, 2, 3

One of the sticks in is not working at all and I get the RED LED light no matter what slot I move that chip to. So I am running on 2 of the new Kingston memory chips.

Can I mix the memory and add the 1GB into slot 3 and 4 with slot 1 and 2 full of 2GB chips?

Also how to I run the memory utility again? I went to /system/Library/CoreServices/ and then I see the program Memory Slot Utility.app

How do I run this? I'm used to no spaces and I type ./then program name

OS X :: Memory Keep Disappearing Day By Day / 1 Giga Of Memory Left From 2 Giga

Apr 14, 2010

I'm new to mac and I've noticed that I can have 2 gigs of memory one day and the next I'm down to 24 or something!I've noticed that if I open a file in Itunes and then change the info that there are now 2 files in the finder, one with the old info and the new with the new metadata. Why does OS-X do that?!

Also, if I have 1 gig of memory left (out of 180 or so) why does it disappear to 0 if I open photoshop? I'm used to a PC running virtual memory and CPU but why does the Mac actually take away my available memory?I'm at my wits end here, it's been driving me up the wall for weeks!

Im willing to pay more for full IF IT IS THE BEST way to do it.

Mac Pro :: How Much Memory Is Enough

Sep 27, 2010

Im trying to figure out how much memory to order for my mac pro which will be ordered soon. I know the more the better but there must come to a point where it makes little difference?

My primary uses are lightroom, photoshop (amateur/prosumer level) as well as running windows XP and possibly 7 inside Fusion.

Would 8gb be enough or would 12 make a substantial difference ?

Is there a big real world difference between running in dual or triple channel?

So my last project - the first one on my new 3.2 octo with 20 GB RAM - and I'm getting out of memory errors in FCP. I thought at first it was a permissions or bad preferences problem, but it turns out that I actually pushed Final Cut too far and it exceeded it's 4GB RAM limit. does anyone have any info from Apple about when they might upgrade FCP to use more RAM?
