Cannot get audio working on Mac Pro in Windows XP

Hey all, I've got a Mac Pro (late 2006, 3GHz), and I'm running Windows XP. Trying to get audio working, installed BootCamp using the Leopard Install DVD, but no dice. No sound at all, not audio devices showing up in Device Manager/Control Panel, you know the usual places.
Ive retried the installer, when it gets to SigmaTel audio drivers it says "An Instance of this installer is already running". I'm assuming that's a bad thing but I don't know how to fix it....

I may have a solution for you.
Install *[_THIS WINDOWS UPDATE_|http://files.filefront.com/kb835221exe/;9494950;/fileinfo.html]* while in windows.
Once you have installed the above update then repair your bootcamp driver by inserting the Leopard disk and choosing repair. This will repair the drivers. Once this is done, you audio should work.

Htaccess, cannot get to work on mac os x lion server

I've enabled mod_rewrite.so in httpd.conf
I've updated the apache2/httpd.conf to...
Code:
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
<Directory />
   Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order deny, allow
   Deny from all </Directory>
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow, deny
   Allow from all </Directory>
I've changed apache2 / users / [username].conf
( I also tried using /Users/[username]/Sites/ instead of the Documents root path.)
Code:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
   Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow, deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>
I've added then removed AccessFilename .htaccess to the httpd.conf file to test.
I've ticked the "Allow overrides using .htaccess files" In the Server advanced configuration for the website.
Restarted Apache following all changes.
phpinfo shows mod_rewrite
htaccess file
(I am just trying a very simple change in the .htaccess to test. I've also tried garbage to pull an error. No avail. )
Code:
DirectoryIndex test.html
I've been messing around with this for 2 days now and cannot find an answer.
I really need this to work
Any advise is appriciated.

I cross posted this and now it won't let me delete this post. So I will just say that this is resolved. I had to right click on the .htaccess file and remove the .txt from the get info box. It then started working. The .txt wasn't appended to the .htaccess from the file browser as it was hidden. Caused me some grief.

Icloud sync only works between mac pro and windows outlook, not with iphone and ipad anymore

Hi
Can anyone help me with my problem?
I do have icloud installed on my MacBookPro, on my Windows Outlook computer, on my iPad 2 and on the iPhone 4S.
Now until yesterday everything synchronized perfectly well.
Then I created some groups on my MacBookPro address book and since then (I believe that was when it started) icloud no longer synchs from and to the ipad and the iphone. It still works between the Mac and Windows Outlook.
On the iPad/iPhone I have tried everything but it still won't do. I have even reset the whole iPad and obviously lost all data and tried again. I all sometimes get is a few contacts back into the address book on the ipad. But only a limited number, not all.
Also, to delete the icloud account on the ipad/iphone is sometimes not possible. It just hangs and I can see the message "Deleting..." for ever.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance!

One more comment. Wired connection seem to be stable neither. I have ping running to the Windows computer and after a couple of minutes, it gets broken.
However if I have both WiFi and cable connection to the home router and disconnect from cable (after ping is broken), I get the network to the Windows comptuer back. Nothing serious on the network change, I just get 192.168.1.x instead of 192.168.1.y as IP).
During this network switch I do nothing with the Windows computer.
This is not valid if I want to connect to the Windows computer via Microsoft sharing (smb://192.168.1.x), then it immediately breaks the connection. Can't get it back until Windows is restarted.

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again.

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

Cannot get audio on movies.

I have two atv units. both are hooked up via hdmi to their respective viewing equipment. I can hear the menu feedback clicks, etc., but cannot get audio on movies. music works fine. tv shows sometimes. Any ideas?

Try changing the Dolby Digital settings - if set to On and the device doesn't decode dolby digital you don't seem to get audio - at least on my TV.

The new user helped a little but not enough to make the customer happy. I have done a bunch of research over the weekend and I have found there is a little known bug in Apple's ACLs. ACL stands for Access Control List and I have a snippet from a MacFixit that describes the issue:
"A disappointing aspect of Repair Permissions in Leopard is that it does not deal with ACLs (Access Control Lists), a secondary layer of permissions control laid on top of standard Unix permissions, tentatively introduced in Tiger and actually used for the first time in Leopard. Repair Permissions will announce that it is surprised to discover that a certain folder has an unexpected ACL setting, but it won't do anything about it (in other words, it won't repair that kind of permissions)."
Anyway it appears to me that if your privileges get hosed in a computer upgrade the only way to really fix the problem is copy all of your data to a second HD and then break out the install DVDs that came with the Mac Pro and do a fresh install and set the user/file-sharing up manually and then copy your data back to the Mac Pro. I did not connect back to the G4 to get the data again, I just copied my many years of correspondence back to the Mac Pro and this time everything works?
The new user idea did let me manually drop files onto the Mac Pro from connected computers it WOULD NOT let me save files to the Mac Pro from network computers. I usually got a bad path message when I would try and save from Word or TextEdit. I figured I had wasted enough time on this problem and erasing everything and starting over was a better idea.
Thanks everybody.

USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to to "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
Change these two settings to this:
When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
And
Then go to Finder Preferences
Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.

Hello, Edward and thank you for your note.
I read through the thread you mentioned and it seems that people are having a lot of problems with the iCloud clients, so we're not alone, but the unique issue in my case is the failing email address vs. the working perfectly email address.
After reading your message tonight, I tried my setup again with the preferred Apple ID (the one without the "." between the names), and for the first time ever, IT WORKS. Mail app configured the servers both send and receive as p01-smtp.mail.me.com and p01-imap.mail.me.com. For the first time, I'm able to send and receive into the Mail app, create mailboxes, move messages into and out of mailboxes, keep Sent messages, etc.
I had a 50-minute support chat with MobileMe support via ExpressLane on Monday afternoon. They couldn't resolve my issue but passed me on to escalation. I was told to expect to get an email from advanced support by this afternoon, but none has arrived. However, so far tonight -- and I will check again tomorrow several times before declaring victory -- it looks like something has been fixed on the Apple end to make things work.
I will report back after I do some additional testing tomorrow to make sure the fix is real and is solid...and before I let my friend, the new Mac user, know the good news.
Regards,
Mike

What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability. Trying to find which is better.

What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability with this. I am running Lion and Trying to find which is better as I know from experience not all cards are created equal. Thanks in advance for your help!

High Point RocketU Quad USB 3.0 for Mac is working great for me. Had an issue with CD/DVD Drive which was resolved with most current driver downloaded from the support site.
Running Moutain Lion on Early 2009, mirroring two Seagate Go Flex 2TB USB 3.0 Drives. Installed in Slot 4.
Using it primarily with VMWare Fusion for Virtual Drives. Windows, Unbuntu and other OS running really well.
HPT Support was responsive and very helpfull using the WEB Portal under the product page.
I have some comments and a suggestion:
Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
Good luck.

Cannot get into itunes via Mac keep getting error −50 ? help please

Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Open system Preferences > Software Update > Check Now.
Restart your Mac after all updates are installed.
Then try iTunes.
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code. It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30. When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19. I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem. I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working. Works fine on my iPhone.

There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

Migrating to Mac Pro from Windows intensive GIS modelling only in WinXP..

Hi all,
I have some cash for a new workstation and have been pondering moving to a Mac as I am frustrated with Windows for som many reasons. I am a scientist who does a lot of modelling, luckily software such as R is available on Mac so I am happy with that. However, I am stuck with some windows dependency due to ArcGIS which is windows only.
I have several questions:
1. I have a couple of existing machines that have cheapo PCI-E Sil3132 RAID cards that run RAID 0 on two 1TB disks as swap. It should be possible to use this in Bootcamp no problems as Windows has drivers for it, but could I access this array through OSX and importantly, through Parallels so I could use the Mac and Windows at the same time?
2. I have several external arrays that use the ESATA connection from some RAID cards, however, these are all in NTFS format. Can I read/write to these disks in OSX? I am confused by an abundance of posts which say yes, no but yes in Snow Leopard..
3. Reading people's comments, it is widely accepted to steer clear of the Mac RAID card as it is overpriced. Is it also not compatible with Windows?
4. Do you guys think it is worth it to move? I could just go down the PC route again and get a similar spec machine as to the Mac Pro, but I can't tell you how much Windows upsets me sometimes.
Any advice at all is appreciated.
Thanks,
A

Dual boot though makes things more complex and doesn't sound like running Windows programs in a VM is going to help.
Therefore a lot to convert, consider, and limitations.
Don't know how well if at all Parallels 6 will work with your arrays.
Swap. Put your system on an SSD, be sure to have enough RAM, because Mac OS and users avoid swapping and pageouts like the plague.
A Mac Pro can be a fine Windows only system, suitable almost, and similar to others that use Xeon processor.
Burn out hits everyone, but maybe if you could get past that and build a new system from ground up that meets your needs and expectations, that would be easier.
NTFS write ability is not hard to add, but is not native to OS X either.
Disclaimer: I run my Mac Pro as Windows 99% and have played around with some PC controller cards and Mac controller cards, and there is always trouble with cross platform.
As for Mac Pro, $4k+ for 3.33GHz 6-core 3 x 8GB RAM buys a lot of hardware, and in PC realm something that can be clocked much higher and more RAM...
