Comment on nVidia Geforce GTX Titan GK110 works on Hackintosh with Mac OSX 10.8.4 and official Drivers, including CUDA support! by Apple Nerd

Apple Nerd — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:18:33 +0000

I tried it myself and it looks like it is working quite well actually! I did a write up about it here: http://www.all-about-apple.com/build-your-own-mac-pro-with-geforce-gtx-titan/

I had to download the 10.8.4 beta though. And remove the NV* kext files from the USB stick when installing.

However I still have some issues with the graphics, it is not really smooth and it seems like the graphics card is not running on full power. Especially when I try games like World of Warcraft, Starcraft and others.

Do you have any ideas on how to unlock the full power of the card? :)

For now I installed Windows again but OSX on PC hardware is getting really good now!

Nice blog BTW, want to exch links?

Comment on kernel[0]: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero – A never-ending story about Adobe failing to get their Flash Player and Adobe Air Plugin to work on Mac OSX in a “normal” way. by vanilla1234

vanilla1234 — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:28:16 +0000

The bug status is currently “closed withdrawn” with reason as “Third Party”. Apparently adobe is ignoring postings at this site saying “Still an issue” at: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3077658

I added a vote there today asking why this was closed. Ended with this:
“Please comment on this blog belonging to nanofunk.net folks who originally created this bug report:

Comment on RAW Video for DSLR with Magic Lantern and Black Magic Hyperdeck Shuttle (vs. Atomos Ninja): 5D MKII, 550D, Rebels by Prune

Prune — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:44:05 +0000

The BM Hyperdech Shuttle (pro 2) can record Avid DNxHD to save space.

BUT

it does not do any pulldown or flag in PsF recording. This has been corrected on Atomos hardware.
That means, any PsF recoding (most of the HDMI cameras do this) will be recorded as interlaced, leading to unusable footages until you convert them…

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to buy the Shuttle.

Great work folks! This cured my problem – disabling the separate flash version that Google Chrome uses.

Even in late May 2012, The current Auto-updating Chrome version 19.0.1084.52 still runs Flash version 11.2.202.235, which is still causing these errors and very severe system slowdowns (which are so complete that if audio is playing, it stops for several seconds) when this Plugin is enabled.

Firefox however, using the systemwide version of Flash, is running fine and does not produce these Console errors – even though it is on the exact same version # as the Chrome Flash plugin (11.2.202.235)!

Note that my experience with Google products is such that if they are partially (but not fully) at fault for this bug, it will take a very long time for a fix to be rolled out.

hello dslr4video! thanks for the pointer. you are right about the misleading title (i will just fix the title right now) – there are just minimal differences of the d800 to the d800e, so i would also say that they are not worth the price. the german article says “the differences of the two cameras are minimal and can be ignored for most photographers” – so yes, you are right about the misleading title: the differences are only minimal, but there is a difference.

dslr4video — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:56:46 +0000

dear nanofunk, while i think you are right about the overall minimal differences of the nikon d800 versus the d800e, the actual title you wrote is somehow misleading. you wrote “no technical difference” and i think this is not true. the sensor is weaker in the d800e, at least according to the links you provided and also when i look at the official statements from nikon.
so there is a small technical difference, but the question is – is it worth the money? in my opinion also NO, since i always retouch the images (and never use in-camera jpeg rendering).

Yeah, B&H sells the 4TB drives in a ‘kit’ but when ask Promise about it, they say they don’t know anything about it. Then they say it’s not supported, but B&H says it’s fine.

Very disappointed that B&H would sell a ‘kit’ that doesn’t have manufacturer support (and that they won’s support).

Very expensive solution – without support = fail.

Thats what I am saying, its not only about flash is about component how is basically flash and photo both using and that part is bad, I think its graphic card related, so maybe its a kext for card not sure, basically when you do that Photo Booth procedure above, there are 9 images and you click arrow for next effects you gonna get 9 IO errors 1 for each frame – Photo booth its not flash.

I made a huge effort drill down what is causing the problem:

1. APPLE

2. ADOBE (flash)

1. Using Snow Leopard SSD (Vertex 3) drive – video on SKYPE freezing after 1 hour.
2. I got freeze on movies.
3. Returned SSD to OCZ that Apple found that SSD has SMART failure.
4. Put original HDD to MaBook Pro (2011) – Installing LION
5. Installed Lion on it – Freezing again
6. APPLE vs ADOBE
7. I noticed that I am freezing on that error mostly on videochat by using google talk plugin and can see the error in the console.
8. By reading forums I assume its a flash, Uninstalled Flash.
9. Still having the errors in the console – Assuming its APPLE – but not going to APPLE STORE – GENIUS knows nothing.
10. As I am developing website I got an idea that if even you uninstall flash still you can get the script by inserting it into HTML – I went to one of these websites: VERDURA.COM – you would say nice HTML 5 + JQUERY – NO FLASH and as I am keep refreshing it I am getting error in the Console, so I am thinking what is wrong.
11.Copied the code and removed all html except scripts and 1 of them was having SWF shockwave plugin.
12. Made HTML file with that 1 line of code and keep refreshing it and getting the error in console – NOW IT IS FOR SURE FLASH to be exact SHOCKWAVE!!!!

13. Break Point

Major Question: Why I am getting errors when the Flash is gone?
Answer: Looking for shockwave plugins, since CHROME is using own separated plugins I do

“chrome://plugins/”

Look what I have found even flash is gone:

http://cl.ly/1b3z3j1R1r0j44201H19

I disabled it, NO ERRORS SINCE THEN! Not even safari, firefox, chrome, console is clean.

Hope it helps.

@Ray: the “original” optibay is overrated. we purchased 4 “cheap knockoffs” and are perfectly happy with it. why paying more for the same material? the optibay is also built quite cheap. the “knockoffs” as you called it, are mounted inside the MBP anyway, so you will never see them. nanofunk can totally recommend using “knockoffs”, since we never experienced any problems so far.

Lawrens — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:57:41 +0000

I’ve started getting this error recently just 2 days ago, I’ve never had this problem before, and the only thing I’ve changed was hooking up a new Wacom tablet (pen & touch), installed its software/drivers, it might’ve installed another program called Adobe Air (I really don’t know what that is but I’ve seen a pop up before that I closed).

I’m using Chrome also, since it auto updates (along with flash), I don’t know if an update started messing with my system.

My kernel_task will grow in size until it reaches 300-400mb and would slow my system to a crawl until I terminate Chrome and its flash plugin, then its memory usage will go back to 200, so as many have pointed out, it’s flash related.

I’d just like to post this comment because for me, I’m pretty sure this problem started popping up just 2 days ago after I installed a new wacom tablet, I’m aware some probably doesn’t have the tablet hooked up, but I thought maybe it could help pinpoint the problem and maybe it has to do with the input devices others have. What I’m going to do is uninstall the wacom driver, unhooking it and see if the problem continue after a few hours.

Filmic pro can be used on the Iphone to set frame rate, lock exposure, lock focus and white balance. It would have been a perfect little app, if it allowed manual settings for sharpness, contrast, saturation and tone.

TRIM is not required on Mac OS X, Mac OS handles that.
BTW.: Modern SSD drives handle that on the controller level. The OS doesn’t have to do anynthing. Enabling TRIM in this cases even has the reverse effect: slower driver.

I’m having similar problem with Lion & Chrome and only when I try to play the Chrome widget “Dead Frontier” and a Facebook game that requires the Unity web player plug-in. My Intel Mac-Mini dead crashes with no warning and then restarts. The only notification I get that a crash took place is in Console:

12/18/11 5:02:27.000 PM kernel: Previous Shutdown Cause: 3

Chrome and any other programs I had running automatically start back up.
Chrome, though, at the top asks me if I want to reopen the page that crashed–I say No-of course.

Also it that Unity plug-in crashes in Safari and Firefox too, when I try to play the Facebook game Margaritaville. It’s only a Beta version so it’s not a browser problem in THAT case. Regardless, Chrome and Lion behave STRANGELY. I get weird warning messages occasionally about going to well-known safe websites like Google that it might not really be Google. I hit “ignore” but it is annoying. But if I restart my mac warnings go away for about 6 hours.

we tested a setup with 3TB drives (seagate barracuda XT, hitachi deskstar) although, we did not have the hardware for more than a week, so i cannot tell about any long term issues. as with any other raid setup (except the drobo) the drives have to be EXACTLY the same build. mixing drives will NOT WORK. we heard of some other people upgrading their drives without any issues. the drives were filled with data and erased several times. as with any other product, keep in mind that the promise pegasus is quite new and there can be issues of course. also, wait for firmware updates, as there can be of course also issues with the main hardware unit! @TheArchitect: did you post a ticket in the promise knowledge base?

We configured Pegasus R6 with 3 TB Hitachi drives and RAID 5 w/o spare. Our customer experienced a big problem: After copying over 11 TB the volume disappeared and could not be accessed after rebooting the system. All data was lost. He did this a few times and it looks like there is a big problem when the Pegasus R6 has more 11 TB of data. Any idea? According to Promise support Pegasus is not compatible with 3 TB drives.

The reason for them is problems with Flash, I get most of these error when using Youtube.
Solution: join HTML5 project on youtube – youtube will use HTML5 rather than flash to play videos. At this point using the system becomes bearable.

Then to reduce these errors that are left try using OmniWeb instead of Chrome/Forefox/Safari. With Omniweb I dont get a sigle error of this type!

Comment on Four Thirds Lenses on MFT (Micro Four Thirds) Cameras: but is there a way to mount FT on Canon EF? by folio5

An adapter for Four-Thirds lenses to Canon EF type lenses is plainly not possible. MFT have a smaller image circle than Canon EF mount lenses, the projected image from the Four-Thirds or Micro Four Thirds lens will not fill the sensor on the 5d MK II or any other full frame camera. You get a circular image in the middle, surrounded by a black rectangle. So the short answer is: NO.

System also locks up forcing a hard reboot to get control back. All of this started with 10.7. Recently updated with 10.7.1 – no change.

@aliquis we had the same issue here which disappeared after installing flash beta 11.0 from adobe labs and using safari instead of chrome — chrome seems to come with its own version of flash, so switching to safari solves issues for now.

I’ve had this problem intermittently for some months on a 5-year-old C2D MBP. Sometimes the screen just freezes (except for the mouse) and sometimes the screen goes black and everything seems to freeze. Hard reboot necessary. Thought Lion might cure it but if anything it’s got worse. Same buffer allocation message in console. Driving me insane.

I installed “Trim Enabler” and I am having temporary system freezes which I think is coming from Safari.

I installed the Flash 11 beta, we’ll see how that goes. It’s definitely something Trim Enabler caused.

@Danny Richmond: there are also the Speck MacBook Pro Cases, which i personally like more. We have two of the satin black covers - they perfectly keep scratches away, so you have a perfectly vanilla notebook with a high resell value.

I believe nothing could beat this beast in term of performance. Design wise, it’s classical and no other pc laptop able to match with the unibody aluminum case. However, the worst part of the MacBook Pro is also the aluminum case. It is very prone to scratches cause by day to day usage especially using outdoor. I would suggest to get it cover up by skinstyler.com wrist rest products. They help to reduce the sharpness edge of aluminum case and also protect it from scratches. Do check out their classical designer collection to match with MacBook Pro http://www.skinstyler.com/wrist-rest-protection-cover-skin-designer-collection-c-26_25.html

you have to scroll your mousewheel up to actually move the on-screen content down
that’s actually wrong: with new feature the onscreen content moves in the same direction with your mouse scrolling, while before it used to move up when mouse scrolled down. =)

Comment on MacBook Pro Early 2011 freezes and kernel panics: revert to 32bit to have a stable system by moebius22

moebius22 — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:32:10 +0000

What is with this company?! I bought a 2010 MacbookPro 17′ used from the Apple store and had freezing problems. I returned it DOA and got my money back hoping this would be fixed for the 2011 model.

Now when I’m just about to buy a 2011 MacbookPro 17′ for school (I’m a film student who edits) I find out about this.

So what should I do?

Buy a 2011 and hope it’s fine, or buy ANOTHER 2010 and hope it’s fine?

Any suggestions?

yes, we are still updating this post. still, if you are concerned about stability you should use a 32bit kernel. if you are running 10.6.8 you should not have any issues with the 64bit kernel – if you do, please let us know! the SATA “problem” does not apply to the MacBook Pros. The HDD runs on a SATA 6GBPs port, the optical drive on a SATA 3GBPs port. See our post on 32bit Kernel setting for more information: http://www.nanofunk.net/macbook-pro-early-2011-freezes-and-kernel-panics-revert-to-32bit-to-have-a-stable-system/

Wow was really excited to get a new Macbook Pro 17″ this year, as I’d been saving up and my 2006 model has been having some serious issues (not to get too sidetracked but it is a Dual Core, and the heat has caused the metal around the frame of the screen to warp and distort and finally crack since I need to close the damn thing). Looks like I’ll have to wait till the next model! I bet apple makes a new one to coincide with there OSX 10.7 Lion release…

I don’t believe heat is really the problem nor the GPU.
I can get my 15″ 2011 very hot due to GPU intensive stuff and the yes > /dev/null
No problem.
From a cold boot, i can install 2 big software at the same time (virtualbox installing ubuntu + Eclipse installation). It would then hard lock up.

The issue I think is with the SATA controller, when i do too many file access at the same time, that’s when it locks up. Then the fans start to spin like if something was stuck in a loop.

I haven’t even had a chance to deal with the overheating issue. My 15″ Macbook Pro suffers from not being able to wake from sleep. This only happens when the machine goes to sleep with the cover open. A press on the keyboard or trackpad does nothing, the machine freezes and is unresponsive. Eventually get a screen with distortion and gray and black lines.

I returned my macbook because of the heating issue.

When I called Apple for this, they said its not a laptop, its a portable. It is not designed to keep on the lap. Did i just pay 2000$ for a laptop, but since Apple does not call it laptop, too bad?

I dont care if you change the terminology. It still is s fking laptop.

I am not going to pay 2000$ for a system which you tell me how to use. What else? Apple tells me I can only use my 2k machine 4 hours a day because its healthy and its not designed to run for more than 4 hrs a day.

in your simple delay, you should leave the maximum delay time fixed (set it high, maybe half a minute [tapin~ 30000] and no user changeable number box) and better include a control for the feedback (which is fixed in your example…)

In all patches: using presentation mode is way better than hide on lock…
