Belkin n52te Speedpad with Snow Leopard

Several folks have posted threads (now archived) asking how to get a n52te to work with Snow Leopard, but did not get responses. Here is how I got mine to work on my late 2010 Mac Pro (running with the 32-bit kernel (64-bit does not work for me)).
Install the belkin driver (v1.04) from the CD (the website has an older version). You'll probably get the error that at the kernel file did not install right. Reboot per instructions.
After rebooting, check to see if the file n52te.kext is installed in system/library/extensions. If not, get a copy from the installer (n52te Editor.pkg) and manually copy there. (Right click on the installer to Show Package Contents, copy the file Archive.pax.gz to your HD, expand this file, expand the folders, then move the n52te.kext file to system/library/extensions.) Reboot.
Open the prefpane "n52te editor" and go to the Device tab. You will probably get the message "n52te not connected". That means that the process "n52teHelper" is not loaded. Manually reinstall the prefpane "n52te Editor.prefPane" by getting a copy from the installer (n52te Editor.pkg) again. Right click on the installer to Show Package Contents, copy the file Archive.pax.gz to your HD, expand this file, expand the folders, then double-click the file "n52te Editor.prefPane" in the archive. If you open activity monitor, you should see the process n52teHelper and this process should run at boot-up (check your accounts log-in items). You might have to reboot again. Now the n52te works and is configurable.
If you want to run with the 64-bit kernel, configure the n52te booted in 32-bit kernel and reboot for the 64-bit kernel. The n52te works (except for application autoswitching) but you cannot edit the configuration. To edit, boot back into 32-bit kernel or use virtualization and run the windows version of the editor (I can use Parallels 6 running XP). Both options work for me.

I'm afraid you a working with a lost cause.
Have you considered getting a Logitech G13? They cost about $65. They do have drivers for 10.6
Nobody here can upload any file (there's no upload function on this forum or a place to upload it to). All any user can do from this site is to point you at a download link that might exist somewhere on the Internet. A simple Google search for your device drivers for Mac comes up with just more problems with no solutions, and you should know by now that Belkin dropped development for your device back in 2009. Nobody on this site has ever gotten the device to work properly for several years.
Belkins' site only had drivers for 10.4 and 10.5 and they were a beta (test) version. I'd say that Razer has abandoned this product. There were reports that the firmware update conflicted with the 10.5.6 update and there's no reason it won't get broken with any system update we get from Apple in the future.
Razer (the company that designed the product that Belkin made) shows the n52te as a "Legacy" product so it doesn't appear they will be working with the drivers any longer. Their newer "Nostromo" device (also made by Belkin) doesn't have any Mac drivers at all...
With 10.7 on the way in the future, I wouldn't care to put buggy trickly installation junk in my OS. It will be very difficult to trouble shoot any problems the drivers might have or cause, and create problems or become totally useless whenever you have any system updates.
I'd be looking to sell that device to a windows user and buy a device that's fully compatible with the current Mac OS. If you really have to use the product then your best solution would be to use Bootcamp and install Windows on your Mac, use the device on a PC, or get an old Mac that will run Tiger.

  • Definite Latency / Lag with Snow Leopard

    Hi - I just wanted to post my experience trying to figure out why on earth I was suddenly experiencing such terrible lag/latency on my Mac and how I figured out it was Snow Leopard. I had recently upgraded to SL, but didn't immediately make the connection.
    Initially, all I knew was that I had terrible lag even while my boyfriend was using the same internet connection through a Belkin router (on a PC), and did not have any lag at all.
    We tried the following fixes:
    - Rebooting the router/modem
    - Rebooting my computer a ridiculous number of times
    - Repairing disk permissions
    - Repairing disk
    - Changing DNS settings to google's open DNS (note: this seemed to fix it for a couple weeks, but the problem returned)
    - Flushing cache
    - Changing other settings suggested by people on other posts
    - Doing a bunch of terminal commands, including sudo killall mDNSResponder
    - Reinstalling Snow Leopard
    - Trying to connect using a neighbor's wifi (I still had lag w/ this, and my boyfriend did not.. another indicator that the internet itself was not the problem)
    Finally, I decided this was probably a hardware issue and purchased a new Macbook Pro. This did NOT solve the problem; almost immediately I had terrible lag again (note - this lag happened while I was surfing the web, but was most noticeable while gaming online).
    At this point, my boyfriend and I had tested almost every possible theory: internet connection, hardware, software bug, dns, etc... The only possibility remaining (unless there was some kind of intrinsic problem with every Macbook pro) was Snow Leopard. Googling this issue resulted in plenty of posts about some networking bug with snow leopard.
    And so, we figured out how to work Bootcamp and installed my online games through it and POOF - problem GONE. I now surf the web and play games through Bootcamp. I really hope Apple comes out with a fix for this. It seems pretty extreme to have to switch to a different OS to solve lag problems.

    We have the same problem. Brand new MacBook Pro, old XP PC with cheap wireless card. The PC has ming of 12ms at pingtest.net, the Mac runs at 40ms. (OK, suddenly, with no changes here, the Mac has pings of 1200+ms. I hope that passes.)

  • HP 1312nfi Multi-funtion printer & brand new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I just got my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard May 2010. I can only print and fax with my 1 year old HP 1312nfi color laserjet multi-function printer. I cannot SCAN at all. I tried loading the software that came with the printer but it wouldn't install the 'Print Director' as I had on my old iMac (with Leopard). Then I went to HP and it said not to install the software that came with the HP printer because Snow Leopard has it all. I read that there are 3 ways to scan from my computer which none of them work. I brought up the printer then clicked printer setup and when I try to bring up the 'print utility' from the last tab, it won't open anything. Where is the printer utility now? Why can't I scan? There has to be a way. HELP please?

    Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    That's it really.

  • I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard.

    I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
    I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

    Dear Nathan,
    Many thanks. To the best of my memory, that is how I got where I am today. Initially I had one failed setup, then discovered compatibility mode and ran using it.  The result was not an obvious failure, but something was not there because not only were some drivers missing (wi-fi, trackpad, ...) but (much to my disappointment) the 3.1 update would not run. It complained that 3.0 wasn't there. If I hardwired to my home network, the machine would do almost everything I wanted, but the graphics were slow and clumsy. That is when I hunted around for the NVidia driver and downloaded it from NVidia. And that is where I stand now.
    My son found this link http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/15/using-boot-camp-to-install-windows-7-on-you r-mac-the-complete-walkthrough/
    which has instructions claiming to do the install straight to Win 7 without using compatibility mode.
    Given that my clumsy efforts to patch things up have probably necessitated a Win 7 deinstall and reinstall to test either your plan or the one my son found, I am inclined to sit tight for a couple of days to see  how much I can learn.
    I appreciate your interest in  this problem, and if you are up for reading the process at the link my son found and commenting, I would be grateful.
    In any case, many thanks, Paul

    I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard.  Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

    Hi there,
    I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

  • Is there a way to make Silverkeeper  work with Snow Leopard?

    I use a computer "given" to me by my school. I do have administrative privileges, but IT installs all OS software and configures it per the network on campus. Last February, they installed Snow Leopard and I began to restore all my files from my external backup. I'd been using Silverkeeper for years, I prefer the way it works (basically, it copies all files, then, with subsequent backups, can be set to only update changed files and add new files into the backup. In other words, there is only one folder. As a designer, I have the "v1,v2" so deeply ingrained in me that I never loose the early versions of documents). In short, Silverkeeper works for me. Time Machine is an interface that does not.
    So, IT installed Snow Leopard, I bring my machine home, and start bringing files over. For every single file, I had to type in my password. The drive, every folder and every document was suddenly marked as "Read Only". I tried changing permissions. Didn't stick. I repaired permissions, tried changing, still wouldn't take. I contacted IT, one of the guys opened Terminal and typed in something (he never gave me the line of code, so I can't tell you what he did. I asked him what he did, he just said, "It's ok, I just gave you full permission. Don't sweat it." I got home, tried to bring over some files, and they still asked for my password. Nothing had changed. Except that the machine started sending urgent error messages. I disconnected my hard drive, rebooted, and could not get past the grey screen.
    Even longer story short, IT wiped my computer, reinstalled SL, I brought in my hard drives, they worked with them to have them all "Read Write" again, and said I had to use Time Machine as a backup. They blamed the entire mess on Silverkeeper.
    So, the semester went on, I've been using TIme Machine ever since and I hate it. Hate it. I want my Silverkeeper, or some other such backup that gives me one file, and all my records kept in that file, in a visual manner. I hate these dates, with the multiple folders, and the threat that it will throw away old files (I just resurrected a file from a Quark doc made in 1994!). But IT has me too afraid to use Silverkeeper. Personally, I think something went wrong with the first install, then IT screwed it up even more by opening up Terminal and "fixing" the code, and they refuse to admit they have ever made a mistake. BTW, I've been using Macs for 22 years and have never experienced anything like this. I have done more system upgrades myself than I can remember, I have troubleshooted my own machines for years, and kept them humming beautifully.
    It's summer, and I want a different backup. Please help, or let me know if I dare brave my old favorite once again. If there is a utility that I have to buy, I will. I'm so fed up and frustrated with the interface on Time Machine, I'm ready to go back to the bad old days of manual backups.

    Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Tons of problems with Snow Leopard

    Made this post over at my blog but I figure this would be a better forum for it in hopes we can get some of these issues resolved... it seems like Apple has pulled a Microsoft and released what appears to be a beta version of Snow Leopard! Inexcusable bugs are appearing left and right, and the supposed "improvements" have actually hindered my computer performance and productivity...
    This really surprised me. After years of releasing amazing OS upgrades that seemed to make the best OS even better, it seems like Apple has taken 2 steps back with Snow Leopard. I can't tell you how upset I was to realize I was experiencing many problems that I previously only saw on PCs.
    After one of the many bugs popped up again on my computer, I got frustrated and started combing the internets for a list of known bugs in the OS and the inevitable slew of Apple users registering their disgust. Unfortunately, my search didn't turn up anything but positive reviews of the OS and very limited complaints on a few message boards. To this end, I'm posting this entry to try and help other users who are experiencing similar issues and hopefully get Apple to clean up this mess of an OS.
    Below I've created (and will be adding to) a list of problems I've experienced in OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. I encourage everyone to list your Snow Leopard issues in the comments as well, in hopes we can create a master list of problems.
    I am using a 2 GHz Black MacBook (Core 2 Duo) with 2GB of RAM. Keep in mind Leopard (OS 10.5) was running flawlessly on this more than capable machine. I am currently running the latest Snow Leopard build, 10.6.1. I upgraded 10.5 with the retail version of Snow Leopard, integrating my current apps into 10.6 (did not do a clean install). I've organized my issues below by application. This post is less about third-party applications and more about Apple apps/built-in OS features, as Apple is fully accountable for these pieces.
    APPLE APPS
    Airport:
    • Airport is now incredibly slow getting past the "searching" status message and into what was known as "scanning" status in 10.5 (now called "Looking For Networks…" status message). This issue occurs most often when I revive the computer from sleep. I have to turn Airport off and on again, then wait an inordinate amount of time to get past the useless "Searching…" message.
    Volume and Sound:
    • I rely on my volume control icon on the toolbar. I change my system volume dozens of times every day (due to my job)... previously, I could click the volume icon then simply roll the scroll wheel on my two-button mouse to adjust the volume. Now, I have to actually move my mouse down onto the volume slider area before my scroll wheel works! What gives? In allowing the user to fine-tune the volume levels, Apple removed this functionality for some reason? This is a real pain for me as the extra second it takes to do this really adds up by the end of the day.
    • Sound now starts stuttering for no reason? When I wake my computer up from sleep and I have headphones or speaker plugged in, the audio stutters greatly. I have to unplug then re-plug my speakers or headphones to fix the issue! This is a problem I saw on many PCs due to sound cards not playing with Windows nicely, but was NEVER an issue I experienced using OS X.
    • The Mac OS startup chime plays on my MacBook external speaker when I startup, even though I have speakers or headphones plugged in! It also does not matter if I had my system volume on mute when restarting • the OS seems to now decide what volume my system should be at when I start up!
    Safari:
    • Defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    • Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    • Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    Stacks:
    • Apple seems to have completely removed the functionality or sortable sub-folder listings? For example, if I choose to sort my stack by "Date Modified", the initial list of folders in the stack appear by date, but all my sub-folders appear in Alpha order, and there is no way to change this! Come on Apple, why remove this?
    iPhoto:
    • Freezes completely when I go to "Export…". My Export opens on the Facebook tab of the dialogue box, and it seems the issue occurs when iPhoto can't find the source image. Rather than an error message though, I get the color wheel of death.
    Spotlight/Search:
    • When I search from a Finder window, sometimes I get the new feature of sortable results columns to work, but sometimes I don't. Seems arbitrary when it works and when it doesn't.
    System Preferences:
    • More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    Install:
    • In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard, so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    Preview:
    • Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    THIRD-PARTY APPS
    Entourage:
    • Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    CS3:
    • Slower than ever, Photoshop is running at a snail's pace.
    I hope everyone can contribute to this string and get Apple to fix these problems.

    I can address some of these:
    Safari defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    All applications, to the best of my knowledge, will run in 64-bit if they include 64-bit code. With most you'll never notice, but if an application supports plugins, then you have to pay attention to whether the plug-in is available in a 64-bit version. More and more are becoming available, but not all. If you have plug-ins that aren't, you need to set the app - Safari or whatever - to 32-bit mode. This is not a bug; it's necessitated by the conversion to full-time 64-bit support. The developer of iGetter claims that an update for compatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode is under development but no time frame has been given.
    Snow Leopard is perfectly capable of running 32-bit apps. You just can't mix them, running a 32-bit plugin in a 64-bit app.
    Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    Have you installed the latest version of Flash? Flash is almost always a bit problematical, but I've had no problems running Flash content on any site with SL.
    Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    This may just be an issue of not being clear on how Mac OS X allocates memory. This article may provide some insight:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342
    More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    This is normal if a preference pane has not been provided in a 64-bit version.
    In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard
    Actually it was called "archive and install" and was removed as an option as no longer necessary. The normal installation creates all necessary new files and more robustly replaces old ones, so having an archive of the old system folder was deemed to no longer be needed.
    so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    To restore completely from a full Time Machine backup, you erase the disk using Disk Utility from the menu in the Installer, then choose to restore from a TM backup.
    Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    Seems to work OK for me. I've had as many as twenty open with no noticeable slowdown. But you may be opening much larger documents than I have.
    Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    Impossible to offer any advice here without knowing what version of Entourage you're using, whether it's been fully updated, and what type of email account this was.
    Regards.

  • When I try to enter a time machine with Snow Leopard backups Lion I get an error code -6584 ... how to fix?

    Hi.
    I had a first gen time machine with backups all on Snow Leopard.
    This died (power supply), and I bought a new time capsule, because to fix the old one would cost nearly the same amount.
    Since, I have started using Lion, and backed up onto my new time capsule in Lion.
    Unfortunately, there was a file I deleted that I really need for a Logic Audio project, that is only present on the old time capsule.
    I got the old time capsule fixed, so it powers up. I even extended my current wireless network with it. I can see inside it -- all the data that I dragged onto its HD in the past is present, and the "Sparse Bundle" containing the data for the time capsule save-states is present too.
    Now, when I try to "Enter" my old time capsule, I get this error message:
    I tried entering the time machine via WiFi and via ethernet, to no avail.
    Can anyone help me to access these old save states on my old "snow leopard" time capsule?
    I was thinking maybe I need to try to access it from a machine with Snow Leopard?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same issue. Does anybody know why this has happened

  • My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

    My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update.  Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
    When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways. 
    It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since.  I've reset my printers, turned off both computers.  Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working.  Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    THanks in advance.

    Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
    If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).
