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:

Graphics:

Audio: First file on the list.

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.

Since loading Maverick and then, with the assist of Apple Support, I had to reload drivers and updates for my HP scanjet G4050, I now enter image scan to scan photos but nowhere is there a "send" button to get them to iPhoto.
Here are a couple of ideas:
1. (my favorite) - connect the printer to the router with an Ethernet cable for virtually the same functionality, more speed and fewer connectivity issues.
2. Reset by turning the printer off, holding # and 6 keys while and for a few seconds after turning it back on.

Atto Drivers and Updates for DLT 7000
Does anyone know the correct Firmware and Driver to download for a Atto Express PCI UL4S SCSI card for use with a Quantum DLT 7000 and DVD Studio Pro?
I am on a Mac Dual 2.5 G5 running
DVD Studio Pro 3.0.2
I was given explicit instructions from my duplicator for the UL3S. My Mac recognizes the DLT 7000 and the SCSI card, but DVD Studio Pro is not giving me the option to output to the DLT 7000.
No one is answering at Atto's Tech department today - I've been trying to get through for hours.
Thanks in advance if anyone knows.Finally got help from Atto Tech department.

I cannot get itunes to update. I have version 10. When I either 'check for updates' or try and update thru the apple menu, it doesn't update. What should I do?
Hi gnaksung,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working.
You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - Apple Support
If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:
iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6

i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8
An update.
From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
"iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later." -

I am using Windows 7. I am not sure if a response will come. I am new to forums. Do I wait or will someone contact me?

[email protected]Hi Deb,
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
Let me know if you get any error or warning.
Thanks. -

I had the same problem when trying to update from 5.1 to 5.1.1 over ethernet. Try unplugging the ethernet cable and update over WiFi - worked for me. After the update you can plug in the ethernet cable again.
Yes, I had the same problem and resolved by the method suggested by Toccolo...... thanks. -

Keep getting an HP update for 10.6.8 and I'm on Lion. How do I stop this?
My MacBook Pro came with OS Lion installed, but almost every day, I get a notification to download and update for the previous OS for my HP printer. How do I stop this from trying to install on mt system?
Open Software Update and, while it's doing its check, open its Preferences from the Software Update menu (beside the Apple menu). in Preferences, click the Installed Software tab. Is the HP update listed there?
Do you have an HP printer? I suspect so, because I don't, and I never get notified about HP printer updates. Software Update does keep me posted on Epson and Brother updates, because I have Epson and Brother printers, but I never hear about updates for Canon, Lexmark, Kodak, Samsung, etc. If by some chance you don't have any HP printers, you might go to Mac HD/Library/Printers and just delete the HP folder that you'll find in there. SU can't update software that you don't have. -
What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes. I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!! GRRRR!!!
Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Are you connecting via wifi? if so try an eithernet cable as I have found on windows 8 running the adobe manager will disconnect the broadband modem from the internet and requires rebooting the modem. But a direct cable to the modem works just fine.

what happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but it still asked me to download a 700mb software update
plz helpIf you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.
