XP Pro, Service Packs 1,2,3, and sound card problems

I recently purchased a white macbook. So far it has been a very good experience, however I am having some trouble with XP Pro and its service packs. I've installed XP and it works fine for the most part however the sound card does not work. I tried to install the sound card drivers but they did not work. My questions are:
- Do I need to install service pack 1 seperately or does it install with XP?
- Can I only use service pack 2 for the drivers to work or can I use service pack 3 as well?
- When I try to install service pack 2, it says that i require 4 more megabytes, I free space, however it still states the same thing, how do I resolve this?

Hi all and welcome to Discussions,
the 4MB error has amde its return with the Service Pack 3, so maybe these insructions can help you:
1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter.
2. Navigate to
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup
3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value
4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\”
XP with Service Pack 2 was always a neecessity with BootCamp.
Microsoft has add some with the SP2 that are needed for BootCamp to work.
For older (pre-SP2 XP-CDs) you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to make yourself a XP SP2 installation CD.
Works with SP3 as well, but to my knowledge you must have a XP SP1 CD for start.

Stefan

Itunes and XP pro service pack 3

I have just reformat my pc using XP pro with service pack 3. itunes will install ok but whenever I try to open it I get 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
I run all the families ipods from my pc (4) and 'inconvevience' is an understatement.
After checking on line I believe there is a problem with itunes & XP sp 3, are Apple proposing to resolve this issue?

Before you worry about iTunes, you need to check to see if QUicktime works as iTunes cannot work without a functioning Quicktime.
Does Quicktime work normally, if not describe what happens with any error message in full.
If Quicktime is OK you need to work through this trouble shooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
If I understand correctly this was clean install of your XP operating system with SP3, not just an upgrade?
Was this done from a Windows XP disk or was it one of those "restore computer to factory settings" you get with many manufactures - which keeps backup image of your operating system as created by the manufacturer.

I don't have Windows Pro Service Pack 3 available

I don't have the option of upgrading my Windows Pro laptop to Service Pack 3. I don't maintain the OS or OS level myself and don't have support to upgrade. I didn't realize iTunes and my iPod only operate with Service Pack 3. Am I just out of luck and need to get a different player and software?

No, my laptop's controlled by administrator's who need everything at a common level because they have to service so many people, so have it set up so I can't make that upgrade myself. Thanks though.
I like beating my head against a wall and so kept looking into this. Finally found a post on CNET, related to SP 2 that said you can't have something mapped to the drive after your last hard wired drive because iTunes or the iPod has to use that drive location. I had a network directory mapped to my E: drive, right after the DVD/CD drive of my laptop at D:. I moved that network directory to the end of all my mapped network directory drives to free up E:, connected up my iPod and voila!, there's my iPod in iTunes. The iPod synced right up and came alive.

Different service packs in admin server and managed server

Hi,
Has anybody successfully used a WebLogic 6.1 SP1 managed server that
connects to a WebLogic 6.1 SP 2 admin server?
BEA's docs claim:
"The Administration Server must be running the same version of
WebLogic Server as the Managed Servers in its domain. The
Administration Server must also have the same or later service pack
installed as the Managed Servers in its domain. For example, the
Administration Server could be running version 6.1, Service Pack 2
while the Managed Servers are running version 6.1, Service Pack 1."
This is precisely what we want to do, but it's not working. In this
case, we need to run the admin server and managed server on the same
machine, but we need the managed server to run SP 1 to work around a
bug in SP 2. So to our initial installation of WebLogic 6.1 SP 2,
where I run the admin server, I added a second installation, this time
WebLogic 6.1 SP 1, with a different BEA_HOME. When I start the
managed server from this second installation, I can see from the logs
that it is starting up correctly as 6.1 SP 1. But then it fails with
a ClassCastException when connecting to the admin server (I have
included the stack trace below). This seems typical of version
compatibility problems I've had when I've tried connecting to a server
with a client of a different version.
But in this case, you are supposed to be able to have the managed
server with a lower service pack. Does this work for anybody? Has
anybody encountered the problem I'm having? Note that the servers are
not clustered, if that makes any difference, and we have a custom
security realm in addition to the default file realm (though "system"
of course is in the default file realm).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jim Doyle

Detection Office 2010 Service Pack 2 - Slipstreamed Install and WSUS rebuild

Hi,
at a customer of us the WSUS infrastructure had some problems and after some investigation the WSUS infrastructure was built up from scratch. We do have one WSUS Server which syncs with Microsoft and two downstream servers. After rebuild the WSUS infrastructure
we do see one issue:
Many clients were deployed with Office 2010 SP2 slipstreamed. Now the WSUS tells us for the Office 2010 Service Pack 2 Update (KB2687455) that it is missing on the clients.
Is this a normal behaviour or is there an issue with the WSUS detection of the Service Pack? How can I see which updates a client reports to WSUS as installed while connecting with the new WSUS Server? I've tried to figure that out within the WindowsUpdateLog.log
file but without success.
Any ideas are very appreciated.
Peter Forster | MVP Virtual Machine 2002-2011 | Austria |

but wouldn't that cause SP2 to install again (or even downloaded to the client?)
Maybe.
Probably.
If the "SP2 slipstream" was incomplete, or additional Office modules were added post-image, then the service pack needs to be reapplied. The key here is understanding how Office 2010 SP2 is different from other Office service packs in history.

Found a Mac Pro in the trash, missing harddrive and video card. Can I fix?

I believe this is a Mac Pro G5 (Aluminum casing). It is missing a harddrive and video card. I want to fix it. I plugged it in and turned it on and I see a red light coming from the front, not sure if that means its broken or just missing a videocard/harddrive.
Is there a way I can tell if I will be able to fix this machine before buying parts? When i turn it on, it makes the OSX noise the same as when I turn my laptop on.
THanks!

Can you fix it? No, I think you should mail it to me
The best way is to see if you can find a cheap video card - craigslist, ebay, borrow from someone else local to you (computer club or users group?)
As for hard drives, since you can boot of an external firewire drive - you have lots of options.
The video card is obviously your biggest issue. Since you apparently get the "Welcome to Mac" startup chime it doesn't sound like their is a major issue with it.
Now, even if you get it working, what are you going to do with it? The G5 was good for it's day, but for the amount of electricity it consumes, it's not the best out there - the new Mini is probably faster than it and consumes a fraction of the power.
Then again, you got it for free and can probably get a video card for under $100 - cheaper than a Mini and if you live in cold climate the extra heat it generates could be a net positive

Logic Pro X and Eleven Rack Sound Card Problem. Intermittent? MacBook Pro Yosemite. Anyone having this issue too?

Ok,
Avid Eleven Rack Audio Interface with latest firmware into usb MacBook Pro running 10.10.3 (latest Yosemite)
Logic X and the sound card do not see the Eleven Rack all the time. *Intermittently*, but more often than not, I can't select the eleven rack as my interface either in Logic X Preferences>Audio>Devices or System Preferences>sound pref as the eleven rack does not show up in either list to be able to even select it.
Real pain when you are writing and have a flow of ideas and need to get a recording down. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried both usb ports in the macbook pro and the same results.
Of course I unplug and replug the usb cable. Still nothing. I have to quit Logic Pro X and restart to even get a chance for the eleven to even show up in either list.
Once I can select it then I also have a problem with being able to record (it records and gets input not prob) but on playback their is no output (with correct output selected) so I then have to use a Logic X template where the output is set exactly the same as what I am trying currently but for some reason it works with the template on the same exact settings. Mighty pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to try my Eleven on another computer to see what happens too but thought I would ask here.
Thanks

First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
Test and see....
Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

Sound Card Problem in Macbook Pro

I recently bought a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display form Apple Store in Singapore. I am kind of clueless as to why the Sound Card goes undetected in few occasions after a reboot. It is running Yosemite OS X 10.10.2, with Intel i7 Quad-Core 2.2Ghz Processor, 16Gig Memory, 256Gig Flash Storage.
Any help would be much appreciated to prevent this little annoyance of Sound Card "disappearing" when I boot into OS X. Thanks.

[SOLVED] USB sound card problems and audio setup

I want to clarify and correctly set up my ThinkPad T61 sound system finally.
I'm running Arch64 + KDE.
There are two sound cards - the internal HDA Intel and external USB CM118.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Set [C-Media USB Headphone Set], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
First of all, why are there both analog and digital subdevices?
I just need playback and/or recording support for these applications: opera, firefox, skype, clementine, mplayer, vmplayer. As high quality as possible.
Per-application sound control would be nice but if that adds too much clutter, I could live without it. No need for audio streaming or any other luxuries.
All the applications should use the USB card whenever it's plugged in. The internal SC should take over when CM118 is unplugged.
The problem is that most of the time it doesn't work. For example, if I plug out the USB card and then run some application like Clementine or Firefox there would be no sound ("connection refused" in Clementine).
Here is my asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
Also kMix/amix should switch the master channel from HDA Intel Master to C-Media Master automatically. The only way to do this is to write some kind of script, right?
AFAIK the following audio components are installed: ALSA, OSS (for some unknown reason), Phonon, Gstreamer.
I guess I can uninstall OSS without worries as no one seems to need it (checked with "whoneeds").
What about that Phonon? Would it override the asoud.conf if I set default device there? Why there are so many different devices in the Phonon configuration list:
C-Media USB Headphone Set, USB Audio (Default Audio Device)
C-Media USB Headphone Set (USB Audio)
C-Media USB Headphone Set, USB Audio (IECblablabla)
hw:1,0
hw:1,1
default
Intel Analog
Intel Digital
blablalba
And that C-Media triplet for every USB port the CM118 has been plugged in.
Too much confusion! All that mess for just two different cards.
So what is the proper way of setting primary and secondary sound cards in this situation?
Thank you!

I am sorry for my very late response and the lack of structure in my post.
I did some investigation and found a rather acceptable workaround for one of my problems described below.
Here is the basic functionality I need:
1. Automatic (on the fly) switching to the external sound card when it's plugged in and automatic fallback to the integrated SC when usb is unplugged.
2. Automatic (on the fly) switching of the kMix's master channel according to the changes mentioned above.
As for the first problem, I found this udev rule:
KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#pcmC}; K=$${K%%D*}; echo defaults.ctl.card $$K > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card $$K >>/etc/asound.conf"
KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo defaults.ctl.card 0 > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card 0 >>/etc/asound.conf'"
This solution has some disadvantages but it is acceptible. If you know of any better solution, please tell me.
For the second problem, I found this script which uses qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster method to set the master channel. However, I think that constant monitoring for the usb SC being plugged is not very effective. So I thought appending the following code to the second line of the previous udev rule would do the work:
, RUN+="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster "ALSA::C-Media_USB_Headphone_Set:1" "Speaker:0""
But that results in some weird behaviour: master channel stays the same but there would be three new tabs in the kMix window now: USB Set", USB Set# and USB Set$.
Here's what log messages tell us:
07/14/12 12:25:13 PM localhost kernel [10889.749048] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 13 using uhci_hcd

07/14/12 12:25:14 PM localhost mtp-probe bus: 3, device: 13 was not an MTP device
You see, the probe thing is running multiple times!
And here is an excerpt from udev debugger:
starting '/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '(err) 'Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11'
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster ' [2769] exit with return code 1
'/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixers org.kde.KMix.MixSet.setCurrentMaster '(err) 'Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11'
Some kind of X11 problem... And also happening twice! Why?
Running the setCurrentMaster method in terminal works very nicely, so the problem must be the way udev runs it.
One last thing - sometimes the usb SC automatically reconnects (disconnects and connects). I read somewhere that most probably the usb device makes the trouble, but maybe there are other possiblities?

Big bang Xpower SATA 1-6 problems and Sound Card wont install.

My new system came in the mail today and I put it all together only to find out that my Hard Drives and DVD drive would not be recognized from time to time. The BIOS would sometimes not detect the drives and sometimes it would. I finaly was able to get windows 7 installed only to have the compter freez on me. (I belive the freez was due to the drives being dropped, cause I could still move the mouse around but the rest was froze) I also could not get the included sound card to detect, I had it plug in to the spot the manual says to have it and durring my many reboots(due to the drives dissapearing) one time the plug and play wizzard showed that the card was detected but befor I could install the drivers the cpu froze again. I am useing the system now via the 2 SATA 6 ports/ ports 7/8. the computer runs fine on those 2 ports. One of my questions is the are the 2 6gb/s SATA ports controled by a differnt controler then the 3gb's SATA ports? Im just trying to understand why those work and the others dont. What could be damaged on the board that would cause the 3gb/s SATA ports to not function and drop the drives connected to them at random? Also the sound card not detecting could that have some tie in to the SATA problme? The sound card uses PCIE port 1 to funtion but I have no problems runing my video card and its on a PCIE slot. Maybe the sound card is controlled by the same controller used for the SATA ports that are not working??? Let me know what you guys think. I have a replacement board on the way but I would like to know for sure that its not something else causeing my problem. Sorry for the spelling errors/typos, its late and Ive been fighting with this all day.
The new parts I got today are as follows
MSI big bang Xpower
OCZ fatality DDR3 6Gig 1600 @ 7 8 8 26
Intel i7 930
Corsair H50
The existing parts from my old system
OCZ Summit 120gb ssd
Samsung DVD SATA drive
ATI 4890 XFX card
Antec 850 tru power
Antec case as well

I am using the 6.0 ports as we speak with 3.0 and 1.5 devices and its working fine. It even detects the speeds of the drives upon startup. Are you mistaken on the backward compatibility with this chipset.
Sometimes we can't believe some of the reviews & articles we read. I'll research that a bit more too.
I currently have a ticket in with Tech Support concerning two things, one the Quantum Wave card sound crackling like a walk on corn flakes. Also trying to get confirmed if the PCI-E slots E2 thru E7 support anything other than VGA's. Faulty audio controller maybe. Tested Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Champion & it crackles too. Not so sure W7 64 bit doesn't have something to do with it.

"The new 6.0 spec also offers enhancements to support multimedia applications, enhancements for increased functionality, and is even backwards compatible with earlier SATA implementations 1.5 and 3 Gb/sec."
That's what I get for reading the wrong information! I should have read this one first!

Firewire and sound cards

I have a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card and noticed that it has an odd-looking connector in it. I realised that this is a firewire port!
So, excuse my ignorance, can I use this port to connect the iPod to or is it configured to be usable only by the sound card?

Yes, you can try. Make sure you have a Firewire iPod cable also.

Equium A110-276 DVD image and sound playback problems

A couple of months ago my Equium A110-276 stopped playing DVDs correctly.
The sound and images on the DVDs are slow, sometimes skip and are generally out of sync.
I downloaded the latest drivers however it didnt make any difference. If i stream a video from youtube for example the picture and sound are both fine.
Anyone think of anything I can do to fix it?!
Thanks
