binary Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, Here's a great tip I discovered while playing around with iWeb and having the same freeze issues as other users without QE support. Remember plists are your friends. Open the iWeb application by right clicking on the app and selecting "Show Package Contents" Browse to "/Contents/Resources/" and open "deafults.plist" in textedit. Find the lines "<key>SFRAcceleratedCanvas</key> <true/>" and edit it to <key>SFRAcceleratedCanvas</key> <false/>" Save Relaunch iWeb. No more freezing, prefectly usable. I'm not quite sure if there are any ill effects, probably not, just no fancy effects and such. Maybe those who have installed iMovie, or iDVD could find similar keys to get those apps working as well. Enjoy!

Tek_No Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Very nice one, binary Pages and iWeb now also working over here... I'm currently looking inside Keynote for some possible keys to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek_No Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 At first look there are no plists for either Keynote or iMovie containing "SFRAcceleratedCanvas"... What I could find for e.g. Keynote is that references to this are being made in Keynote.app/Contents/Frameworks/SFRendering.framework/Versions/A/SFRendering (unix executable)... Won't be easy to get Keynote or iMovie working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tek_No Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hey suleiman, I don't think you will find such a plist for Keynote See my previous reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suleiman Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 finally caved in and got QE and CI enabled, now all my iWork apps work great, and iLife apps run superb too, with the one exception of iMovie, which plays and edits movies just fine, but has an odd blueish tint to it. Anybody have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 In 10.4.5 iWeb doesnt even start. It worked great in 4.3 and 4.4 but not in 4.5. I have edited Defaults.plist without luck. Running with a non supported ATI 7500 mobile. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeguy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The ATI drivers are the ones giving you problems. You're probably getting error messages that point towards OpenGL. Try removing the ATI files in your Extensions folder (you may want to back them up first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 So i shall just remove all ati kexts and not replace them? I have made a backup of the 10.4.3 kexts so I can replace them with those if thats good. Edit: Removed the ATI kext's and iWeb now works! Thanx weeguy!

MCheiron Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi all, are there any news about keynotes? Was anyone able to find a workaround to run it? Thanks a lot, MCheiron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afraydo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 How would you go about to enable QE and CI? If that's the only solution to keynote and imovie hd then why aren't more people doing it? What are the disadvantages of enabling qe and ci? Please excuse my noobish questions and dont laugh I have SSE2 chip and i also cannot get keynote to work but pages 06 works like a charm thanks to the tip!

MCheiron Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Same here Afraydo, but how can you do that, if your graphic card is not supported yet by the openAti driver package? I have no knowledge about how to adapt those drivers for my Ati fire gl 9000 mobility. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 How would you go about to enable QE and CI? If that's the only solution to keynote and imovie hd then why aren't more people doing it?They can only be enabled if the video driver running supports them, and for many video cards, there is no driver support for them yet. If they are supported, I think they do get enabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afraydo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 They can only be enabled if the video driver running supports them, and for many video cards, there is no driver support for them yet. If they are supported, I think they do get enabled by default. I have a Nvidia GeForce2 MX 32mb ram and I went on it's page and it says that these cards are now in the imacs but i still can't get keynote to work! I'm going to go ahead and download every single driver they have availible for the mac and see if I get any results. Would anyone happen to know a card under $100 that does support QE and CI? Could I just go out and buy any card that has been releaseed within the past 3 years made for the mac platform and would it work for keynote and imovie HD?

Afraydo Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I tried searching for anything that has to do with my nvidia geforce2 mx but I can't find anything for the mac. I don't even see any drivers on nvidia's webiste for the mac and this card. Could anyone who already has these drivers or kexts or whatever give me a link or download? Also my card is 32mb, but in the system profile it lists it has a 128mb card? Is there any explanation for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfn Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Be careful - just because it's in Macs doesn't mean the x86 drivers work. For example, no one with a Radeon Mobility 7500 can get QE working, despite that the TiBook DVI uses that card and has QE. I'd check the wiki to find compatible cards.

lxdude Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi... I'm new here, and I hope somebody can help me (Even though this topic seems to have been unactive for a while) I have a OS 10.4.6 working perfect on my system with iLife 06 and i have everything running perfect except for iMovie HD... I can load that application up fine and import footage and everything is great except that I can't click any of the buttons. I can right-click clips and the context menu apears, and I can open all the menus at the top of the screen... but no other buttons work. Also, if I move my mouse just to the left of the preveiw buttons, the minimize, maximize, close buttons on the top of the window become active (they turn from grey to their associated colours) Please help! matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
