Can Drivers Be Updated w/ XCode?

Aside from html, a bit of PERL, PHP, and Java, I have never written code. In fact, I am a photographer by trade. One of the annoying things about upgrading to the Intel processor is the number of my hardware drivers that do not work. Is it possible to upgrade existing hardware drivers with XCode?
If this is possible, the first project that I would like to undertake is to fix the driver which allows me to connect my camera to my laptop and shoot tethered via firewire cable. The existing driver installs on my MBP but cannot connect with the camera. I assume this is because of a small part of the driver that addresses the firewire connection that is no longer functional. Am I naive but this seems like it should be easy to fix ( anything is easy if you know how - I do not).
I created a new project and attempted to open the driver in XCode. I was not successful. I assume the reason is because the driver is compiled. Am I right? Is there any way to reverse engineer the driver? I believe that most of the code that I need already exist. For example, when I connect my camera to my MBP iPhoto automatically downloads the files. However, iPhoto does not work for me as it was designed primarily as a post-production tool. The same for Aperture.
Any words of wisdom? Has XCode for Dummies been written yet?

I spent the day working on the problem of not being able to shoot tethered to my MBP and discovered that the problem was not as bad as I had thought. The answer to my problem is an application that is part of the OS that I was previously not aware of. In the Applications Folder I discovered a utility called Image Capture. I suspect that Image Capture is the utility that causes iPhoto to connect to your camera. With Image Capture, the workflow is not perfect but is a suitable workaround until I can upgrade my cameras.
Image Capture allows me to designate the folder where I want my file written to my hard drive. It allows me to specify which helper application I want to view or manipulate my file in. I selected Adobe Bridge but I could have selected iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop, or any other image browser/editor.
In the preferences I can elect to have the files automatically downloaded to the folder that I have designated on my hard drive. This does not seem to work properly, at least with my Kodak DCS 760. In order to download my files I have to manually click a button. It would be nice if I could shoot between 6 to 10 images and have them download automatically. However, this is not a huge problem as the download via firewire is relatively fast. Each image takes about 3.5 seconds to download on my MBP.
I also learned about the application Automator. I am not sure exactly how I will use Automator in my workflow but the capabilities seem fascinating. I plan to spend more time in the future exploring this tool.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I think that I might just ask Kodak for the binary data for Camera Manager and attempt to update the driver. If I am successful it will be a great learning experience and I will make it available to anyone needing it for free.
Happy New Years everyone!

HT5639 Windows 8 already installed, can I only update Bootcamp drivers or must I reinstall?

If i already installed Windows 8 on the previous Bootcamp version, do I need to reinstall now with Bootcamp 5 to make trackpad, etc work? Or can I simply update the drivers within Windows 8? If I can simply just update the drivers, can someone please explain that process?W

On the evidence here you have the wrong version of the Boot Camp drivers?
Boot Camp 5.0.5033 is for Win 8 64bit, is this what you are using (download it here)
There is a sheet that will tell you which version of Boot Camp does what (here)
Verify and if needed download the version you need.
I will also repeat my earlier advice, If your installation is currently working, don't fix it.

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive...SMC 1.3

Hi all !
I have a problem. I'm have a macbook pro Santa Rosa =
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.27f1
This morning I saw the update for the SMC firmware (1.3).
Before restarting, I have this error :
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6606/26048579.jpg
Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partiton or RAID scheme.
When I went into Disk Utility in order to check, here is what I have =

I thought Boot Camp could be involved becauseI know it's the only thing related to the EFI.
I searched on internet, and Ifound nothing. There was a solution in order to reset the partition table, but the tool is no longer available. The link on on the application explains that I have to reformat my macbook pro. I find a bit weird to make this , I can't spend hours for backup / restore just because the SMC update does not work. have you any lead for me ?
Thanks ,
Razique

Have you tried this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Cannot get drivers and updates for my PC

I'm finally upgrading my hp pavilion d4500e cto desktop pc from XP to Windows 7 (I don't like Win 8 so got Win 7 Prof). Before upgrading, I want to update the BIOS if needed and save off the drivers and updates to external storage. I went to the Support page > Software and Drivers and searched on my product name. I'm having issues getting the drivers and updates I need for this PC. If I use the Solution and Update Finder wizard, it scans forever and never stops. I did a direct search on the product and clicked the product name. However I then get a page that says "Page Not Found". I tried searching for these drivers/updates on my newer HP Envy laptop thinking maybe I could at least save off from that PC. I get the same results after I click on the product name - Page Not Found . Help!! I need these drivers/updates ASAP. This PC still works great and has plenty of memory but due to software changes over the years I really need to upgrade to Win 7 now. TIA

You're very welcome.
There is no W7 BIOS update for your model.
There is a BIOS update for the XP operating system and you installed it, that would be the latest version.
Do not attempt to install a BIOS update written for another operating system. In other words, don't install that BIOS update after you install W7.
Here are the W7 x64 drivers you need...
Chipset driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/14875/en-us
Graphics:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us
Audio: First file on the list.
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&CatName=Sound+Blaster&prodID=14103&...
If you are missing any drivers after you install W7 and the above drivers, please post back and let me know what is missing and I will see what I can do to help.

What drivers to update for recent Twist purchases?

Hello everyone,
I just bought the twist on black friday and need to know what drivers to update?
Also, does anyone know how one can update drivers by using the lenovo setting without the usual going to a web browser and manually finding the update? I am pretty sure there is a way but I don't seem to find it. I was looking around the Lenovo Support App but maybe I didn't look well enough.
Similarly, the driver update for tent mode didn't work for me, so hoping Lenovo comes with a solution to the Tentmode problem.

I'm expecting driver updates to solve that issues that most of us are seeing with the lenovo twist
Touchpad driver:
should resolve the issue where mouse moves and click around in tablet mode
Power Management:
should resolve the issue with the auto-rotation especially in tent mode
And maybe one that improves the battery life? Hopefully...

Debranded Touchsmart Drivers and Updates?

I'm thinking of buying a Debranded TouchSmart, and I want to know how do you know which drivers and updates to get if you don't know which model it is? Also, does anyone know if they still come with the bad hardrive that has the brick bug? Alot of these say they were refurbished, so I'm hoping they changed that drive or put the update on them. Does anyone know anything about these Debranded TouchSmarts?

Read the other thread on this same subject, it's all been covered in the past 2 weeks.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/TouchSmart-PC/Cant-find-Correct-Model-or-Serial-CTRL-Alt-S-Not-working-...
If the BIOS string still lists an HP S/N you can use HP Recovery media and drivers, if it does not contain the HP SN, then you can not and will need to get the apps on your own.

Problem with "ld" after updating to Xcode 2.3

After updating to Xcode 2.3, I got an error when building a FORTRAN program. The problem seems to occur at the linking stage. The error message goes like this:
/usr/bin/ld: can't open: /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0/libgcc.a (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
It is true that there is no such a directory (/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0), but there is one named
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1
Why does "ld" seem to miss the update?
(Some article on the web suggest adding -lSystemStubs -lcc_dynamic flag. How does that work?) Thanks
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ld comes with Apple's XCode, but g77 (or some other program in the g77 package) is what calls ld. When g77 itself is compiled, it hard-codes a list of paths to some xcode-supplied gcc files. If your g77 predates the release of xcode2.3, it would only know the locations of the older gcc (4.0.0) files (until xcode2.3 was released, nobody knew which gcc version it would have or where its files would be).
Fink's g77 3.4.3-13 and 3.4.3-100 both appear to encode locations for both gcc 4.0.0 and gcc 4.0.1. Perhaps you have a slightly older revision?

X230 Family Type 2325 drivers In update retriever

Sorry for these issues, the updates team is still working on getting all the updates published for the new systems like X230...
Bluetooth should be there starting from today.
I recommend not installing RapidBoot Shield unless you have personally tested it and determined that it makes your image boot faster and doesn't cause side-effects.
Intel USB 3.0 has a wrong dependency on RapidBoot Shield, the team is working on removing the dependency. If you are using ThinInstaller you may be able to figure out how to remove the dependency from the XML file yourself...
