Carbon X1 _ Needing to Repeatedly Re-Install Synaptic Drivers (Win 8.1)

Hello All,
For the second time in a week, I've received the famous message saying that the Synaptics UltraNav drivers aren't being recognized. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 and have installed Update 1 as well.
I've already uninstalled the old drivers and re-installed the new drivers from Lenovo's site twice now (both times it was the latest April 21st 2014 version).
It works perfectly fine for a few days, however, today I received the messaged again out of nowhere. I hadn't done any Windows updates (or any updates for that matter.) Literally, one minute the drivers are fine, the next, I have to do the uninstall/reinstall song and dance all over again.
Is this some kind of bug? Am I going to have to keep doing this over and over in the future??
Any insight would be super helpful.
Cheers,
Jasmine

I think one of them might be the chipset driver. I am surprised that Windows Update didn't pick it up. Still checking. There was a newer system update on their website but that didn't detect them either.

Itune needs administrator rights to install updates in win xp sp 3

I have an issue with ITunes application with user profile and administartor profile. ITunes needs administrator right to install updates.
Under normal user profile , ITunes not able to install any updates.
It required manual works from administartor to run the application as "Administrator". Application level permission ( itunes.exe ) has full rights to the user,
but still ITunes needs administrator rights.
Please advise on how to install iTunes updates without Administrator rights.

It can't find the uninstaller. Use Revo uninstaller for the PCSuite and all Nokia related driver software and clean the registry with Ccleaner.

Need Instructions For Clean Install Of Drivers After Refor

Hi, I will be reformatting my hard dri've and doing a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP . I have the CD for upgrading to SP2. I am not a novice with regard to reformatting and reinstalling drivers. However, my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro was purchased only a few months ago and installed after uninstalling an NVidia Geforce card. Would I install the OS (and all patches) prior to installing the video and then audio drivers? Previously I have installed the OS, video, audio, modem, and then all of the upgrades from Windows Update. I have been all over the Knowledge Base and have downloaded the upgrades (drivers and applications) for my Soundblaster sound card. I also read in here to use the original CD and then update the drivers and software applications. I am getting more confused as I go. I apologize for the long post. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TechSavvyFreddy,
Here is what I would do:
) Install OS and completely update it first and foremost
2) Install latest chipset drivers and software for motherboard
3) Install Video and Update completely
4) Install the Sound Card from CD then Update completely
5) Install other components.
That is the best way to assure you get the system set up properly and have all the software installed.

Need a Repeater for stronger wifi connection

Hi,
I'm new to wireless issues so please bare with me.
I have a MBP with snow leopard installed. I have a boat docked at a marina that has free wifi. If I am at the marina office, the signal strength is fine. When I am on my boat (distance from outdoor wifi antenna to my boat is approx 100 feet) the signal is very and drops very often. I was told that I need a repeater that will extend the signal strength. When I went to the Apple store I was told that I could use Apple airport express, but that it only acted as a repeater if using other airport express or airport extreme base stations. The marina uses a netgear R0318 router. So then I was told that I need a repeater that is compatible with the netgear router and my Mac. I saw this repeater:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0355694
Would this do the trick? Is there a better option? I'd like to use the airport express, but it doesn't seem to work. I also have an ipod touch and a wireless printer (Lexmart) that I would want to be able to have on the network.
Any help is apprecisted.
Thanks,

Bob,
I suppose there is a remote possibilty that a user who is reading the Apple forums may have used the product that you ask about, but it's also more likely that you won't receive an answer, so you may want to post on the other company's website if they have one
The bottom line is this with any repeating type of device.....you won't know until you try. For that reason, it's a good idea to understand the store's return policy in case things don't work as hoped.
Even if the AirPort Express were compatible with the Netgear device, the correct location for a repeating device is about 1/2 the distance from the main router to the area that needs more coverage. A repeater or extender can only "repeat" what it receives. If you locate the device at your boat, it will receive little to no signal to repeat.
So, if you find a device (Netgear would be first place I would look to insure compatibility), you'lll need to think about how to locate it correctly.

During the installation of Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista, I received an error message saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Are administrative privileges necessary to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista?

The happens when I attemp to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on a classified network. Initially when I try to install Firefox 4.0, a screen comes up saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Then when I cancel my logon username/password administrative screen, the installation process lets me continue and I can install the Firefox 4.0 software. I would like to know if Firefox 4.0 might encounter problems later on a classified network if Im able to install the software initially.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

I just purchased an airport extreme router to increase the range of my wifi. I have an imac with 10.5.8. I get a flashing yellow light on the base unit and it tells me I need airport utility to install yhe ubnit. Where do I get this and how do I do it?

So I assume that the original modem stays installed with the coaxial cable and the Exrtreme is in addition to that.
Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

Do I need to install the drivers on my old Mac Pro disc or from my Snow Leopard disc?

Hi,
I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (dual quad @ 3GHz) w/ 24GB RAM and I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed. What do I need to install?
On my newer 2009 iMac (which included Mac OS X 10.6) I just inserted that disc specific to the iMac and installed the drivers, but the disc for my Mac Pro is old (10.5.2) do I need to install the drivers on it or not? Can I just insert my Snow Leopard 10.6 disc to install Boot Camp etc., or won't that include drivers for the Mac Pro? The Mac Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

Why can't I update to OSX 10.9.1? I restart my computer and the AppStore still says I need to restart to install. I've tried many times with failure.

I restart my computer and the AppStore still says I need to restart to install. I've tried many times with failure. I have restarted manually, through the appstore, and on the Apple Menu.

If your computer is looking for a server, it sounds like you might have a problem with your Internet connection.
Chrome is probably trying to warn because .exe files can contain viruses. Chances are, if you're connected to mozilla.com and have https: (a secure connection), you don't have to worry about getting software with viruses or other malware.
Is your account on your computer an administrator account? Are you able to install other programs without limitation? If not, you might not have administrative privileges, which will make it hard to install things. You can download things, that doesn't require admin privileges, but altering the computer's operation by changing programs requires such privileges. If you do have admin privileges, I don't know what could be causing your problem.
Don't know if I've helped you or not, hopefully someone else knows specifically to what you refer and can answer, if my suggestions didn't do anything to help

Adobe Bridge has been deleted and needs to be re-installed. How can this be done without reinstallin

Adobe Bridge has been deleted and needs to be re-installed. How can this be done without reinstalling the entire CS5

Hi RDMDanielM,
Welcome to the Community!
We cannot install Adobe Bridge as a Standalone product, you can just reinstall Photoshop and Bridge will be reinstalled with it. Go ahead and start uninstalling CS5 suite but choose Photoshop from the list and the same will be applicable while Installation.
Thanks!

revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

Need Urgent Help Cannot install Mac OSX 10.6 on 20" intel imac

I recently purchased an intel imac an intel mac pro from an auction. When i purchased the macs i was told that no operating systems will installed and i would need to purchase and install mac osx10.
I purchased the mac osx10.4.6 family pack from the apple store online.
i put the new disc in the mac and restarted holding down c.
for some reason nothing happens and i get folder with a question mark.
I have tried this several times but nothing seems to work.
I am a complete novice with macs and migrsting from pc.
thanks

You cannot buy a retail version of Tiger that will install on any Intel Macs. You must have the original installer discs that came with the computer. You should not have purchased the computers without them nor should they have been sold to you without them.
The only option you have is to call AppleCare or go to a local Apple store and see if you can purchase the discs needed for each computer (there are different versions for each model.)

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

I need to know which install disk to buy for my mac serial number 17*****ZE4

Need to know which install disk to buy since I lost my original.
<Edited by Host>

You have an 24" Early 2008 iMac. It came with Mac OS X 10.5, and you would need the disk set for your specific model. It's possible that if you call Apple Support, they can still sell you a set, but that model of iMac is no longer supported by Apple so Support may not be able to help. If not, then you'll need to look to private sellers or companies that sell obsolete software.
You can also call the online Apple Store and purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Regards.
