FCP 5.1 rough on the old Mac

Hi there and thanks for reading!

I have an old one, and I mean, mac

OS x version 10.5.8

2 GHz power pc G5

1 GB DDR sdRam

Final Cut Pro 5.1 [Yes, I know it's old, but I needed to match what they had at the public access station]

Lately my Final Cut has agitated fonctionnee.  It doesn't matter if I restart.  To this end, I dropped a bunch of things on the hard drive, so it might work better.  Now, I have 65 GB available and used a 168 on hard drive.  Always the same problem, with no improvement whatsoever.

I also get the 'Spinning Wheel of Death' almost any time, I try to do anything about the program.  Render times are incredibly long and do chromakey or luma key with other special effects is almost impossible because of the slow times.  Also the same program will not play certain things, but just towers [the spinning wheel of death], and then jumps ahead--possibly after a minute or two.

Until recently, it was a great machine and I was able to do many things with it, including editing of a feature film.

If you have thoughts or ideas for me, would be great!

While 1 GB RAM meets the minimum requirement, I am sure that more RAM would be useful.

Open the activity monitor, see the: > all processes of sorting on the % of CPU, see if anything with too much % of CPU when this happens, click the memory tab, you have lots of Pageouts?

Open the Console in Applications > utilities and see if there are clues or recurrent messages when this happens.

  • Retrocopatibility between the latest Mac OS and the old Mac Mini

    Hello

    I m trying to buy a Mac Mini used for my son but I want a machine that can use the latest Mac OS today and at least the next operating system.

    I know that older machines cannot use the operating system more recent (I had this problem with a MacBookPro). Where can I get information on this to avoid buying too much a machine old and limited in this respect?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Best.

    The Mac mini 2010 aka. Mac mini 4.1 or later supported El Capitan (the current version) and macOS Sierra (next version) of the Mac operating system. While the older models of Mac minis are also supported El Capitan they will not support Sierra.

  • Pack to photograph for the old Mac OS x 10.6.8 CC

    Hi guys,.

    I have an old Mac running OS x 10.6.8 and ch & Lr available for download are currently incompatible. Is it possible to buy the CC photography package and download and the older version of the software?

    Thank you

    Vicente

    Of course, you can install the CS 6 version which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    All what you need to do is to download and install Adobe Application Manager, sign in with your Adobe ID and install Photoshop CS 6.

  • It is possible to find the old MAC address?

    I have a serious problem with an application because of licensing depends on the virtual machine's MAC address. This MAC address changed when the transferd vm to another host.

    Do you know if there is a way to find old MAC?

    Thank you

    While previous answers are basically good, I want to add that you need to search your vmware*.log files or all occurrences ethernetX.generatedAddress to find the older Macs used by the virtual machine.

  • Impossible to copy the old Mac VM (Fusion 2.0.6 running leopard) again Mac (SL running Fusion 3.1.2)

    Just got a new MBP with SL, I upgraded to Fusion 3 and tried to migrate my Windows xp VM on my old MBP at this news.

    Here's what I did:

    (1) stop the virtual machine from windows.

    (2) copy the package of VMware, IE. all under the/Document/Virtual Machines / to the same location of the new MBP

    (3) launching the Fusion 3 on the new MBP

    (4) choose "open an existing virtual machine.

    (5) windows XP VM will appear in the Menu.

    (6) it starts to 'load' but then he says "the virtual machine appears to be in use", and there a yellow warning icon.

    I don't know what is the cause. I already have stop my VM before I copied this on. That is to say. He is not in a paused state.

    I suspect that there may be some impure lock sitting somewhere in those files, tagging, wrongly, that it is used...

    Any help is appreciated. Right now, it seems that I have to continue to use the old MBP/Vmware

    Try looking at the beam (right click on-> show the contents of the package) for folders .lck. If present try to delete.

    If present try to also delete the file .vmss .

  • Connection of the old Mac Iomega Zip to the Mac Mini

    I couldn't find an answer to this common question I could map to a solution to my problem, so:

    I have an old Iomega 250 MB Zip disk that I used on a Mac of pre-iMac. It is a parallel port connection. I'm trying to use it on a Mac mini running El Capitan. I am trying to connect a parallel cable mini / USB. I am recovering some important files from this bygone era. I have the Mac Ziptools drive.

    I don't know if it's to see the player: he seems afflicted to a connected player ID, but can't open it nor report any info on this.

    So, in fact do this as shown? If this is not the case, how can I do this? Thank you.

    I do not know its being a common question. At least not in this decade.   My G4 has a Zip drive, but it dates back to 2002.

    I don't remember if the readers required Zip one driver special for which I suspect 99.999% there is no version of El Capitan.  He could have that included in the operating system returns with OS9, but because people have stopped using Zip disks long ago should not appear in a newer operating system.

  • How to manually install the old Mac OSX flashplayer.app

    Hi, I need to downgrade FlashPlayer for a certain software from Leap Frog connect CFT can use it.

    When I extracted the version specified, it gives me ONLY a "Flash Player.app" (not an Installer).

    MY QUESTION IS where manually install the flashplayer.app while it is committed?

    Mac G4 10.4.11

    Hi, for following my last post on holding off. What are the browsers that you use?

    Leap Frog recommended version is the one you want, not the one you have open. HOWEVER, the vs 10.0.45.2 is a very old version and has no security patches which have the 10.1. It's one thing. The other is that if you use a browser and install this version 10.0, sites that have updated for the 10.1 and last may not work correctly.

    What I would say to you, is if you need to install the vs for the needs of Leap Frog, and then to do it in a browser and use to Leap Frog.

    Install in another browser, the latest version of Flash Player vs 10.1.102.64 so you can access the Web sites that have updated.

    Now another thing, the browser that you choose to install the 10.0, you will need to uninstall everything that is there first, restart and then install and reboot again.

    If already, you use a different browser and install the latest FP in it and already have an older version installed, then you must uninstall in the same way.

    Hope that it is not confusing, but let me know.

    Thank you

  • Thunderbolt 3 connectivity with the old Mac?

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch end 2013 retina with a thunderbolt port 2. I read on the stroke of lightning 3 and since it is in the form of a usb key, unfortunately I is not a port on my mac for her.

    But the speeds were impressive and I wanted to know if I have a cable thunderbolt 3 to crush 2 or Thunderbolt 3 nothing else on my mac (plug in the side shot of lightning 3-port usb c in my monitor), I'd get those same speeds 40 Gbit/s?

    Also, thank you for giving a link to a bolt of lightning to thunderbolt cable 3 2 if you do not find one

    Thank you!

    It is not the connector that is important. This is your internal hardware that doesn't support fast T2 or T3. It only supports speeds of T1. T3 uses the same connector as on the new MacBooks - USB - C 3.1. Save your money. Even if there is a T4 slip, you won't get anything faster than what you have now. Cable determine the speed.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements come from the old mac (externalHD) to the new iMac

    Is it possible to make this transfer?  I'm not very techie and I tried something I thought might work... but of course, it was too easy.  I dragged the record EPA from applications in old HD on my desk.  Then I dragged in the Applications folder into the new computer.   I received a msg saying license for this product has stopped working... There is a problem requiring to restart the computer to start the program.  So I restarted and then got the same MSG... and he said: if continued to see this msg, IT contact administrator or Adobe tech support and mention the error code 6.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

  • the Sierra with the old Mac compatibility

    I use two computers, both running under OS El Capitan.

    I have a MacBook Pro of 2009. It run Sierra?

    What happens if my iMac has Sierra and the MacBook Pro has El Capitan? Sierra 'modernize' my photos so that they do not share on my MacBook Pro? Passwords? Mail application?

    My 2011 iMac runs Sierra very well. The more RAM you can throw at it, the better. I have 12 GB in mine.

    A 2009 MacBook Pro can not run Sierra. It requires a model mid-2010 or later.
