frolicols Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I recently just installe iDeneb 10.5.7 on my PC which is Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 nVidia 7600GT 256mb Ram 1GB Foxconn 775socket The installation of both programmes went great and I rebooted like it asked me to. The problems started when I launched iMovie when it says that I need a more powerful graphics card to let it launch. So when this message came up and it quickly closed down. Is there a way around this without buying a new graphics card. My other problem was in Keynote where I click play to start my presentation. It fades to black but then quickly fades back to the desktop with a message popping up asking me to turn down my graphics settings. I did this and I went to 800x600 resolution with "thousands" of colours and I got the exact same message. Any help would be grateful. And Thanks In Advanced.

asarath Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well any ideas then... Everyone seems to be a bit blank???? If it's any consolation, I can't even get iLife09 to install on my hack running iatkos v7 (10.5.7). The ****ing installer keeps asking for 10.5.5. Something is wrong with the software. About iWork, I am surprised - it runs well on an integrated gma950 (mine) with all transitions enabled. Please check if QE and Ci are working on your machine - Apple apps seem to need those to run properly. If they aren't, figure out how to enable them from the drivers forum here. But if they are, it needs more skill than I have - probably doing some low level terminal fiddling. Sorry if that is of no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanbk168 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 yo... checked the about this mac, more information, under graphics/displays.... u must see that CI/QE supported... if not tried harder... i think you need to have CI/QE to work with iMovie... I was using Geforce FX5500, 6600GT and also 6800GS without any problems... not need to change your graphics card but ensure that CI/QE is turned on...

pcmaczone Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You need a Quartz Extreme compatible card to use certain features of iLife like iVideo. Your card should be compatible but do you have the driver loaded for it ? Are you getting the correct native resolution when you boot or do you need to enter "Graphics Mode" as an option on start up? Perhaps you need the correct Kext loaded. As an aside iLife 09 works fine apart from iMovie on my version of OS X, which boots from a 80gb USB drive. I'm using Flash OSX Leopard 10.5.6 for Pen Drive. Only thing I have a problem with is iWork 09 which i mentioned in another thread. Hope you get it working. No hope for me with iMovie unfortunately as there is no support for the ATI 4850 from Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceomni Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Have you checked System Profiler to see if your graphics card has Quartz Extreme and Core Image QE/CI Enabled? That should do the trick. If not we can talk you through the process of getting your card up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msingh Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Have you checked System Profiler to see if your graphics card has Quartz Extreme and Core Image QE/CI Enabled? That should do the trick. If not we can talk you through the process of getting your card up and running. I do have QE/CI supported natively by OSX (I am using Quadro NVS 140M, and the System Profiler reports quartz enabled). Pages is still opening blank pages. Update: No. The System profiler does not show that now. I *had* QE/CI working under 10.6.0. Update to 10.6.1 killed it. Maybe it was a bug all along. Display: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0429 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Damn. I am going to reinstall to 10.6.0 and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msingh Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 See this post for a possible solution (in com.apple.Boot.plist) : QE/CI This may work for some graphics cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
