    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    Thank you for your reply. I checked the info but i cannot find the brand info. It was installed by authorized mac service, so I am going to ask them. They offered to replace the drive, which is good, but if there are other issues, my computer is out of warranty already. Is there a way to check...

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    I am sorry, but I don't think you read my post carefully (or maybe i didn't express myself clearly). I was talking about AVID upgrade, not system upgrade.

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    As i already stated earlier, I CAN'T upgrade to 10.4.11, since i don't have 2200$ to spend for the software upgrade that I would be forced to do afterwards (Avid Express to Avid Composer). I am just looking for a compromise. The drive i had before was fine, i just needed more space. If the SATA...

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    Thank you, but I am not too knowledgeable :) I have used the upgraded computer for 3 days only. Is there a chance that the problems will go away? Is the uneven hum a normal thing? i don't even mind beachball during typing, for me the most important is the playback, I work with playback buttons...

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    p.s.: the reason why i needed to do partition is that I have on 10.4.9 a software that is no longer supported and will not run on higher versions.

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    Thank you for your reply. I have no idea what they did. they performed all the replacement, partition and cloning. I verified disk using Onyx, it said all was OK. I am testing now how the whole thing works under Leopard 10.5.6 (restarted the comp from another partition). I haven't tested FCP...

    mac book pro upgrade made the performace worse

    Sorry, forgot to add: The drive has two partitions. I work on the partition with Mac OS X 10.4.9 installed. FCP version is 6.0, and it worked well before the upgrade (the partition i work on is an exact clone of my old drive)

    Installing old Leopard alternate boot with Snow Leopard

    Thank you so much. What is the risk in this process? i remember five years ago going through a similar process on my old iMac when I tried to change the lost admin password (the computer had both Jaguar and OS 9 installed) . I rebooted from the disk, pressed C and then the computer got into a...

    Installing old Leopard alternate boot with Snow Leopard

    Hello, I have a tower Mac Pro with Snow Leopard running on it. Unfortunately one of the software that I use doesn't have yet a Snow Leopard update. So I am thinking maybe I can install older version of Leopard on one of the internal drives (i have 3 additional internal drives), so I can boot...

    Hi There, I've been recently experiencing problems with connecting more than one firewire drives directly to the existing computer ports. I use MacPro tower, leopard 10.5.5 When I have one drive already connected and try to add another external drive it either doesn't pop up, or the one...

    LaCIE 2Big Triple doesnt mount

    Hello, We just got the RAID drive from LaCie, after our another LaCie drive crashed. It still worked perfectly 2 days ago, but when I came back to work, the drive refused to mount and the front LED was red. There was an usual noise indicating that the drive starts. I looked at the back and one...
