10.8.5 update breaks ethernet driver?

So after updating my mid-late 2007 MBP to 10.8.5, it crashes hard when connected to the wired ethernet.   By crashes hard, I mean the clock stops, the machine stops responding and turns itself off.   This does not seem to happen when I am connected to the wireless.
Is it possible that the update broke the ethernet driver --at least for my machine.
I have tried the following to fix it:
Boot off of restore partition--repair disk, repair permissions
Reset Pram
Reset system (pull the battery, press the power)
Install the update from the Combo
Delete and re-install the ethernet from system preferences
There were no detectable problems before the update and I'm connected to the ethernet everyday for 8-10 hours.   This problem began immediately after the update.
Anyone else having this problem? Thoughts?   I know this update worked on ethernet speed--is it now broken?
Thanks!
Chris

Do you have recovery partition? Disconnect ethernet cable and Boot to recovery mode. Then connect your ethernet cable and run Get more help as this will open Safari (test a bit longer than just a 1-2 mins, give like a 10-20mins). If problem persist in Recovery Mode or Mac has problem with connection then you have a hardware issue. If in Recovery mode is ok, try boot to Safe mode, create new user and see if still is the same.
If above doesn't help, then go to /Library/Preferences and rename SystemConfiguration folder to SystemConfiguration.OLD and then restart your computer. This step will reset all network settings and create new config files - although there shouldn't be any problems but Time Machine Backup would be recomended to have it anyway.

KB2388210 Update from Windows Update Breaks Sound Driver

My sound card driver stopped working after I installed this update. ?I reinstalled the driver multiple times and the issue was not fixed. ?I uninstalled the update and my driver worked once again. ?I have a Xtreme Gamer Fatality card.

It's an application compatibility update. I don't think it is a common issue.
Did you remove the update?

Update breaks video driver on laptop??

Yesterday i did "pacman -Syu" since it was a long time i did such for the last a lot needed updating. Including the kernel. However when i rebooted this morning i could not acces the laptop.
Lilo says its loading Arch then nothing, but a garbled 640*480 screen.
So either lilo is loading a wrong kernel or soemthing has changed inside the kernel. And instead if the vesafb driver it loads the savage driver.
Going to reboot from cd and do some chrooting to sort it out.

Hello Paul Soare,
Please update the driver from the manufacturer website as MVP S.Sengupta mentioned.
Here is the acer website to select the device and download the driver.

EX485 Ethernet Driver Update

I did something stupid (in hindsight) and am looking for some advice on how to rectify it ...
I wanted to improve the abysmal transfer speeds to/from my basic Mediasmart machine (one HDD). After reading a bunch of posts, I decided to start by updating the ethernet drivers. So I copied the latest driver to the server, and used the control panel/device manager to "update driver". Then I lost the connection to the server, and its never come back!!
I've tried a reboot of the server, but that didn't work. Given that the ethernet port is the only way to connect and work on the server - how do I fix an ethernet problem!!!

Hi,
What your seeing regarding the Driver for your CD/DVD Drive is normal. The driver for these devices is supplied by Windows and there is no update. Here's a screenshot of the driver tab from my Bluray drive - as you can see, it's dated the same as yours.

Re: Updating Marvell Yukon ethernet driver on an Equium A300D

About a month ago I think it was I got an alert on the Toshiba Tempro tool to update a driver for the Marvell Yukon ethernet driver on my laptop. I downloaded the zip file as instructed from the Marvell website (an updated driver was released on 18/8/08) and attempted to install it, but it was then I hit a problem. When I try to install it I'm told a previous version is already installed, and to uninstall the previous version first.
The problem is when I go to the Device Manager and try and find the driver, the only entry there's for a "Marvell Yukon 88E8040T PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller" , but the driver I was prompted to install was for a Marvell Miniport Driver.
At the time I simply ignored it, thinking the update wasn't relevant to me, but since then I've had a number of BSODs - the latest this afternoon - and in all the cases when Windows has finished doing it's error reporting thing, it comes back with the advice that I need up update the Marvell Yukon Semiconductor driver...and directs me to the same download that I was originally directed to by the Tempro alert. Of course again, it tells me I have to uninstall the previous version before installing it, but as I can't find a previous version of this Miniport driver to uninstall there's nothing I can do about it, so again I ignore it. Everything appears to be working fine (apart from my ongoing dropped internet connection problems with my wireless network and the fact that I can't seem to set up a wired connection (maybe because of this driver problem?), but then sooner or later I get a BSOD again, and it blames the Marvell Yukon driver, and I'm back to square one again. I've had the BSOD now 4 or 5 times over the last month.
Any advice appreciated.

Hello
Have you tried to roll back the OS to earlier time using system restore tool?
Try it and let us know if everything works well again. If yes leave it and be happy without updates.

Moving to an external Ethernet Drive - Libraries and Photos are a mess - Cant Find Images

I am in the process of wanrting to consolidate my LR3 files to an 2TB external ethernet drive (connected via airport extreme). First, are there any issue with using the networked drive. I've heard that there may be.
Second, my libraries and photos are all over the place. I cant seem to find the proper catalgues and sometimes files go missing or offline. So, duringn this move to the new 2TB drive, I want to use this opportunity to find and move all the LR3 "stuff" i can and make the workflow better organized.
How can I simply do that???
Thanks!

First, let me suggest that there are two issues here ... Storage (exactly where your photos and catalog file are located) and organization (how do you find/search for the photo(s) of interest. These are different issues.
First ... storage:
You can move your photos and catalog file anywhere to meet your storage needs. You move the catalog file simply by moving it in Windows or Mac Finder to the internal HD (or any other non-network drive). Recommended: put the catalog file on your fastest hard disk. Recommended: move the previews (that are located in subfolders where the catalog is) along with the catalog file. Once moved, you open it by double-clicking on it.
You can move your photos anywhere you want them to be, including a network drive. Although I recommend you move them in Lightroom so as to not break the links, you can also move the folders outside of Lightroom and then reconnect (in the folder panel, right-click on a folder and select "Update Folder Location").
Now, you have your files whereever you want them to be. They are stored properly. It makes sense to consolidate your photos on a single drive if possible, and it makes sense to set things up for ease of backup (i.e. all photos in subfolders under a single parent folder) but other storage schemes are fine if they meet your needs.
Next ... Organization
This is how you set things up so that you can find a specific photo(s) quickly. I strongly recommend that this be done in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata and collections. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by moving this folder to that location or folder hierarchy to help you be able to find things. I strongly dis-recommend that you do this by renaming photos or folders. Leave them whereever they are (after you have met your storage needs above), and organize via keywords. Assign keywords and metadata religiously to your photos. Keywords give you much more organizational power than folders, because you can have many many keyworkds assigned to a photo, but a photo can be in only a single folder.
I strongly recommend consolidating things into a single catalog. This will enable you to search for any photo, because you have one catalog. If you have multiple catalogs, and catalog A is open, you cannot search for a photo in catalog B.
Once all of this is complete, your photos are where you want them (storage) on your networked drive, your catalog (singular, not plural) is on your fastest disk (storage) and your photos are completely well organized in Lightroom, enabling you to search for them quickly, using the Lightroom filter bar, the keyword panel, or smart collections.

Ethernet Driver Not Installed and Yet It Is - Network useless

Device Manager reports the network port on my W500 (4063-3FU) suddenly lacks a driver (Code 28). This is odd since I had manually installed it myself during the upgrade to a 64 bit (Win7 x64 SP1) ... because even the recent SystemUpdate utils don't work very well (as evidenced by the many tips on the forum to manually install things in a certain order).
Multiple attempts to install Lenovo's latest network driver manually appeared to go smoothly, but Windows still says there's no driver. Astra32 calls it an Unknown device which may be odd, and the diagnostic tool "Lenovo Service Center" (LSC) is too vaue to be of use. I am adding screenshots .
So I let Device Manager and Windows Update try to get an updated driver,but it could never find a driver. Or it would get various errors (Red X marks that tell the user nothing useful).
Programs & Features shows what i think may be the entry (highlighted in blue) for the network/port/driver but it's vague. I've been reluctant to uninstall it just yet.
Does anyone know what I should do next? I need to get the network port going.

What about the blue-highlighted entry in the last graphic (from Programs & Features)... Might that be the LAN driver? How could I check?
When I go here for the LAN driver
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu
It says Ethernet driver (Intel PRO/1000 LAN adapter software) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad is the driver for the W500.
The page on the network chipset is here:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu/downloads/DS019225
The network chip should be one of these: Intel® 82567LM Gigabit Network ConnectionIntel® 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
Question is, how do I get the system to evaluate the network hardware? LSC is useless.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

Xp ethernet driver

Right I am new to Mac's and this forum so hello everyone.
My problem is with bootcamp and ive only found one forum entry on the net that points to this isuue so i hope you lot can help me.
I've got Mac OS X 10.6.7 and have decided i also need xp on a partition to run Solidworks for work. I went through the bootcamp setup wizard.
1) set a partition of 80Gb using NTFS
2) installed xp pro from my install cd and used my cd key.
3)it booted from that partition and went to the logon screen but is prompting me to activate my copy of xp, not a problem normally when i install to a pc. BUT i cannot connect to the internet as the ethernet drivers are not installed yet so i tried the telephone way but it will not show the ID for registering on the telephone as i have no ethernet driver!
Therefore i am stuck as i cannot access the normal desktop until i have activated and i cannot activate because i cannot load the drivers from the OS X cd. I tried in safe mode but it will not install the bootcamp exe or recognise any of the drivers.
Please help, someone else must have this problem.
Its a Macbook 2.16 dual core running mac os x 10.6.7 and xp pro sp2 on the partition with proper cd and key.
Many thanks.

Are you now using Boot Camp 3.2 drivers, after installing off OS X DVD 3.0 and upgrading a couple times.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
Sometimes even with Apple drivers you still want/need to update audio, ethernet, graphics drivers yourself.
Then add what I think is the best AV -
Microsoft Security Essentials
There are a number of people running SolidWorks I know from over the years here.

Add external ethernet drive to time capsule

Hi!
Is possible to attach an external ethernet drive (Seagate or Western) to the timecapsule to expand storage space?
Thanks!
J

Hey Bob,
Thanks for your response! I have no need to back up onto the 2nd drive through Time Machine.
Basically the 2nd drive is an offsite back up of an archive, so doesn't even need to be updated.
I was actually looking at purchasing a regular FW drive, but saw the ethernet drives are pretty cheap. The ethernet option will mean it is faster to upload my files, and if plugged into the Time Capsule I was thinking I could access the files remotely if need be. Would that work?
I just wasn't sure if the Time Capsule would immediately recognise the 2nd drive through the ethernet connection. Will there be much (network) tweaking? I'm not too savvy in that regard. I was hoping it would just plug and play like a FW drive, but visible on my network.
Thanks!
James

Internet doesn't work with Killer Ethernet driver installed! PLEASE HELP!

Hi guys,
First of all I might as well start off by saying that I recently upgraded my system to a new build, and so bought some new parts. The motherboard I chose was a MSI z87 gd65 gaming and by gosh is it good to look at, my only problem is that when I install the driver of the disc is that the Killer Ethernet driver doesn't allow me to get internet access (but I am connected to my router).
I have reset windows, reinstalled the driver, restarted my pc, made the bios default and it still persists not to work! I am not sure if it doesn't won't to work with windows 8 because I had to boot from the installation cd. I can't update to windows 8.1 either because I don't have the internet connect/access Nd I can't get another driver because of the same reason!
Has anyone else come across this issue?

Remove Killer driver and suite using >>Killer Cleaner<<. After reboot just install pure drivers: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2

Actually it is not-so-permitted to remove sophos for this machine, but I did it anyhow. No problem so far, but lack of evidence is not evidence of being lack of something so I am not adding it to the list yet

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

How can I update my 6750M driver in windows 7 64-bit?

Hey
I have no idea why apple doesn't update its bootcamp driver after all this time. I need to update my imac graphic drivers update in windows due to adobe flash player crashing my graphics driver whenever Im browsing a flash heavy website. ADM website doesn't allow me to download the drivers but I thought maybe one of you has found a direct link to the driver.
Thanks

Go here: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_13_1_whql_download.html
Scroll down and click the link that says: Download AMD Catalyst Mobility 13.1 Win 8 | Win 7 | Vista (64-bit)
That will download the full driver directly from AMD.
