Do older USB1 sound devices need Universal Binary drivers?

Or does UB not affect drivers?

UB affects everything! If the drivers are not built into the OS, then you require drivers.

  • Non-universal binary drivers--risky?

    I have a Lexmark x75 PrinTrio printer/scanner and since it was the handiest scanner I had when I needed to scan something on my Intel iMac, I downloaded the driver and installed it. Due to the absence of Print Center, the printer part (which I don't need anyway) didn't complete its configuration, but the scanner is working fine.
    Depending on which page you visit on the Lexmark site, the driver either is or isn't Tiger compatible and it's PPC native, not a Universal Binary. There's nothing more up to date to run this scanner with, and nothing bad happened when I made the scan... is it safe to use such an old driver that isn't Intel native? If not, how should I best get rid of it (the Installer doesn't have an uninstall option and it didn't produce a log that I could find)?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    As long as it's working properly, I wouldn't worry about it. I can't see any problems with running a scanner driver in Rosetta; it shouldn't affect anything else.

  • Universal Binary scanner not showing in CS4

    This works in CS3, but I cannot get several scanners o show up. They are all universal binary drivers and they work in CS3 running natively. Is there something different in CS4 in the way of scanning support? Does anyone have their scanner working through CS4 successfully? If so, what scanner? I'm using one of the newer Canon scanners.
    Thanks.

    The TWAIN.plugin is available in the downloads section on the adobe website.

    if you're on the mac. You need the file:
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 Optional plug-ins and ReadMe
    English, Spanish and French
    Why is it inefficient? I hate the MP Navigator and scanning software included with the Canons that they make you use. I much prefer scanning from inside photoshop.

  • Will Snow Leopard run older PPC software, pre-universal binary stuff?

    Hi there
    I know this is probably the most stupid question in the world, and I know that Snow Leopard dropped support for PPC and is intel only.
    Does this mean that I could no longer run my CS2, MS Office 2004 and Quark 6.5 (as none of these were universal binary apps, and are all written for PPC architecture)? Or is it just SL will only install on Intel macs?
    Thanks in advance

    PPC is supported, but there are some PPC applications that are too old for Snow Leopard. You should check all that you use for the latest info BEFORE updating. I think there are problems with CS2. It is not officially supported in Leopard, but may work there. CS3 is not officially supported, but does work.
    Is there a 'best' way to upgrade? clean install and retrieve data from time machine backup? Complete rebuild? Install over the top of Leopard?
    Any method should work if your applications are up to date, and your existing system has no problems. If your current system is old, though, it may have some forgotten applications or modifications that could cause upgrade problems.
    The safest way (but more work) is to erase the drive, install Snow Leopard, update to 10.6.2, copy just user accounts and data from your Time Machine backup, and install the latest versions of applications.
    If possible, make a bootable backup of your system drive before you start. That will protect you against any possible problems with the Time Machine backup.

  • Deleting Universal Binary Files

    I have just downloaded OS X Lion and I am trying to delete some file on my Macbook to speed things up.  I have downloaded cleanmymac and it had found universal binary files. Can i delete theses.  I am using a mac with 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.

    I have some spareparts from my first car, 2th and 3th car, 5th and 6th car... from the 70s and 80s and 90s and we can never know - perhaps one day we need it....  I never dit use one single part yet, because the new cars use more smart devices and parts - the old will never fit... but still I keep all this stuff. My new car have to stay outside, there is no space left in my garage or the carport, because all the spareparts.
    I have also spareparts from my first 8086 PC, Apple II Apple III Lisa 1 + 2, the Commodore 64, Amiga 2000 and all PC and PPC and Mac sience. The parts will not fit in any of the new iPad Post PC Devices anyway. But never know, perhaps one day.... I have to find soon another house - there is no space for me in my bedroom anymore - more spareparts from the first iMac and the MacBooks I do not use anymore because of the iPad...
    So better keep all the Universal Binaries - never know - perhaps one day we need it... ;-)

  • Will non-universal-binary Logic+plugins run on an Intel Mac?

    Hi,
    this may sound like a dumb question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer on this question yet: will my Logic 7.1 (not Universal Binary) install on an Intel-Mac?? Our local Mac store expected that Rosatta will take care of everything, and that only performance will suffer a bit.
    That would mean that all non-universal-binary plugins would run, too??!!
    Just curious...
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Jaap

    Hi Jaap,
    In a word, nope!
    It seems you're more informed than your local dealer, :o)
    Rosetta will not handle the plug-ins & third party (AU) need the (U B) upgrades. You need the 7.2 (U. Binary) to run logic on the new Intel machines.
    Best regards,
    Jorge

  • Fincal Cut Studio Universal Binary Question....

    hello all. just was confused on which final cut studio should i be downloading first on my MBP. i have two versions of final cut studio, one is not the universal binary, and the other is the older version, regular final cut studio. my friend said i needed to install the first final cut studio, non UB, before i install the universal binary version. is this true? also, what is this universal binary version? i don't quite understand it. i tried looking around for the answers, but i was just confused. thanks in advance.

    Friends don't help friends install software. Especially when they're wrong. Mostly because they ARE wrong.

  • Universal Binary Driver for Photosmart C6180

    Is there a Universal Binary Driver for the Photosmart C6180?
    I'm trying to use Presto Page Manager, a Paperport-like application for OS X, and it isn't recognizing the scanner. Their tech support (or what passes for it) is telling me I have to use a Universal Binary Driver.

    Since the printer works on a different computer, it sounds like the issue is strictly software based.  
    It sounds like a complete reinstall of the software for the printer needs to be done.  Ensure that the software is uninstalled from the Vista system.
    If the fatal error appears again, try using the A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows document from HP for assistance with the fatal error.

  • How to tell if an app is "Universal Binary" i.e. Intel-compatible?

    I have various freeware and shareware apps on my new MacBook Pro which I "migrated" over from an old PowerBook G4 which I had been using until getting my new MBP last week. To whatever extent possible, I want to avoid using old PowerPC-chip designed apps, since they'd have to go through Rosetta translation in order to work, but using Rosetta extensively slows down Snow Leopard's snappy response time.
    So, I want to make sure that each app is designed to be Intel-compatible. And if it isn't, I will try to track down a newer version, or if there aren't any, then find a replacement app that will do the same function.
    However, I don't have documentation or "read me" files for most of these older share/freeware applications, so it's not easy to tell just from "looking at them" whether or not they were written in Universal Binary (or in some other Intel-compatible way). One could always look at the date the application was made, and if it's really really old, then one could assume that it's not Intel compatible; and if it's really really new, then one could assume that it is compatible. Unfortunately, most of the apps are from that exact transitional period when some apps were made for PowerPC, some for Intel, and some Universal Binary, etc. -- mostly they're from the 2006-2009 era.
    So: Is there some method for "peering inside" applications to see if they're written in Universal Binary?
    As an example:
    I have a program called flvThing 1.0.1. If I control-click its icon, choose "Show package contents," then go flvThing>Contents>MacOS>flvThing, and do "Get Info" on the excutable file therein, it says "Unix Executable File (Universal)." Does that mean that it was written in Universal Binary?
    If that's true, can I use this same method to peer inside most/any apps and see if they are a "Unix Executable File (Universal)"? Or is there some other method for finding this out?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    Yow! That was easy! Thanks. Worked like a charm. "Solved."
    Two follow-up questions:
    1. I see five ancient apps listed as being "Classic." I presume that I might as well Trash those right now, since no Classic apps will ever run in the Post-Snow-Leopard world? None of these five Classic apps are important or necessary, so trashing them is not a problem.
    2. Some of my Intel apps are listed as being 64-bit, and some as not 64-bit. Should this concern me? Does it matter? I presume that both 64-bit Intel apps and non-64-bit Intel apps will both work perfectly fine on my i5 MacBook Pro 15" -- right?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Default Sound device with attached USB devices

    Hi,
    my situation: i've got an iMac 27" with an attached 24" cinema display (using display port and usb). Also i've plugged in a usb headset (headphone with microphone).
    Whenever booting up Mac OSX 10.6.4 (also happened to older version of Mac OSX, at least all 10.6.x versions) OSX sets the default audio device (input, output and system sounds) to the cinema displays audio device. No matter what i choose as the default sound device i have to reset it after every boot.
    Does anyone know how to come around this? I know i can easily set the device by alt clicking on the speaker symbol in the menu, i know there are tools out there like SoundSource that let me even more easily set the sound device but all i want to have is a default sound device that doesn't get overridden on every boot.
    Any help?

    All right, I seem to have solved it. The fact that it was only working using plughw: should have tipped me off, but at any rate, this is my working ~/.asoundrc:
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1

  • Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

    Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

    YYou can connect with the cables listed above or with an Apple TV device. Keep in mind that and ipad is what it is and was made to be used as it is. I can tell you first hand that what you are trying to do will likely not be of assistance since the ipad is still required as the user interface. Connecting to a larger display maybe fine for watching movies if that's what you have in mind but for overall use the ipad will still have to be used and thus looked at to type and touch. Even with a bt keyboard there are still to many limitations That only a mouse can solve along with a keyboard and display.
    All said, you may be better off looking into, and perhaps using along with the bigger screen, some of the features that can be found in (general-text size) and (general accessibility) settings. Other then that, if you are not mindset on the ipad experience, there are other products on the market that are better suited and more affordable. I have provided care for my mother in law from here 80's to mid 90's. Been there, done that.

  • Sound device selection

    a feature i would like is for sound device selection. i have my pc connected to a usb headphone audio device and my surround amp through onboard soundcard. having to go into windows sound settings and change the default sound device through control panel is a slow task. thus changing all programs that do not handle sound device selection to operate on the windows default sound device and then needing to change it over and over. simply changing the sound device within firefox then starting the audio/video playback will initiate the new sound device.

  • Change Output Sound Device

    Is there anyway to change the output sound device in iTunes without going through System Preference?
    I have an iMac with built-in Speakers, and a 5.1 Griffin Firewave over Firewire. I want my music to come through my external speakers but I don't need my system sounds to come through those, right now I can only change it through System preference and haven't found a way to divide them up.
    This is do-able in the Apple DVD Player... any thoughts for this function in iTunes? Is there some place I can put this in a suggestion box if it's not already a function?

    It is a great pity you are using Leopard. Up until Tiger there was a great little free app called Detour that let you assign separate audio channels for different apps. You could Google "Detour" and see if there is another utility that will work for Leopard?
    There is also an app Soundflowerbed that lets you route the output from one program and port it into another. Unfortunately, those programs must have 'audio channel recognition' (not a technical term - I just mean that they must be able to take an input and deliver an output, e.g. like GarageBand). iTunes doesn't.

  • Multiple Creative sound devices in one system

    -Multiple Creative sound devices in one systemrHello community, I recently tried to get two X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express cards to work in one computer. One card worked well. As soon as i plugged in the second card and booted the system, i got a quite reliable bluescreen SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX, which indicates improper handling of shared ressources by the driver. I performed extensi've testing on two different machines with both Windows 7 64-Bit and Windows XP 32, freshly installed and patched, latest drivers, no other software or sound hardware present, but the problem persisted. I contacted support an was told that a such a combination is neither tested nor supported by Creative. So now I am stuck with two expensi've cards, that don't work together. Is there any information from Creative which devices will work flawlessly together if combined? For example the X-Fi Go!. It's USB. How many of those will work together in one system? (if more than ) Can I plug in a Soundblaster Play USB device simultaniously? Does Creative test for things like these? And why ist there a "Select Audio Device" option in the Creative Console application if multiple cards don't work?

    Hi Suresh
    Generally it is not possible to activate two industry solution in
    switch framework .(transaction SFW5) ..But we can make the activation
    of industry solution as client dependent and client independent . if we
    make it as client dependent then we can activate different industry solution
    for each client
    To know whether the activation is client dependent or client
    independent you need to check table SFWPARAM for any entries. If it
    does not have any entry then its client independent (repository changes)
    It affects all the clients. Please make entry in table SFWPARAM
    and try !
    I hope this information helps
