Driver updates for gaming on a mac

I am a world of warcraft junky and for some reason the mac im running on can only run the game on its lowest video settings without causing serious frame rate issues. a friend suggested that i should update my video drivers and i have no idea how to do that with this mac. im running on the osx 10.4.11 laptop, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make it run the game better
(according to specs im running over the minimum requirements for the game)

Which exact model of notebook is that? OSX10.4.11 just describes the operating system software you are running and doesn't describe the hardware which is probably the limiting factor. Go to the apple in the upper left corner of the display and drag down to about this Mac, then get more information. Copy and paste the computer information but delete the serial number for privacy reasons. I'm going to start off by guessing that either your computer is too old or with too few resources (especially video card) to optimally run the software (very likely), or (less likely) you are running an old version of the software that wasn't designed to run on a modern computer.
I don't think Apple does driver updates if your friend providing advice comes from the PC world. Any updates are usually in terms of System Updates and you already have those. Once we know your model computer we can look for any special updates.

Gaming: driver update for NVIDIA GeForce - Sat P20

i am not able to run an driver update for my NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600 on Satellite p20-521. can someone help me out please.

Hi Cuong
I assume you use a wrong graphic driver or a wrong graphic card driver update procedure.
Toshiba recommend to use the own graphic drivers. The all drivers for European Toshiba notebooks you will find on this website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
After successfully downloading please unpack the driver. There you should find a setup.exe. Please install it.
Well, if this procedure doesnt work so please go to device manager and select the graphic card and right click. Then you can select the option update driver. The driver source is the driver download place.

Driver updates for Belkin components busport.

Hello,
A friend has an old horizontal beige G3 to which was added a Belkin Components 2xUSB busport. The original floppy disk contains the driver for pre 8.5 systems, but the manual advises going to Apple UK website for driver updates for use with OS 8.5 to 9.
Can't find any sign of this update on Apple UK - which isn't surprising of course given how long ago it was issued, but can anyone point the way to a download for this driver? Would be most grateful..
Thanks....BC

The download that is available by itself is OK for 8.6. It specifically states it is not useable for later versions of OS9. It includes USB extensions v 1.4.1.
These are the extensions that install when you re-install with the card in place in the machine:
USB Extensions From Mac OS 9.2.1:
HID Library 1.5.5
USB Authoring Support 1.1.2
USB Device Extension 1.5.5
USB Mass Storage Support 2.1.1
USB Printer Sharing 1.0.2
USB Printer Sharing Extension 1.0.2
USB Software Locator 1.5.5
USB Support 1.5.5
USBAppleMonitorModule 2.1

Driver update for Win 7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available

This patch is needed for the TouchSmart 600 AIO Desktop series if you haven't installed it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...

The update is not part of the desktop Win7 update disc from MS or HP - Microsoft has not yet integrated it into Win7, and it is not yet available on Windows Update (it is likely to hit there sometime in January). It was available too late to get it out on HP Update before the holiday break. I don't believe there have been any rolls to the Win7 upgrade disks. I do recommend (while still on Vista) running HP Update and installing all applicable updates - PRIOR to doing the Win7 upgrade. Also - I'd double check the drivers page for your system for any Vista updates as well, best to do any driver/BIOS/Video BIOS updates prior to the Win7 upgrade process. I know that some of them were created before Windows 7 was out - and may not want to install if it sees the newer OS.
As to the fix - this could manifest itself in many ways - but essentially - this resolves system flakyness with USB devices attached . Some internal devices (card readers, touchscreens, some Wireless LAN interfaces) connect via USB - so they could be affected, even if you haven't hooked up anything to your system externally.
Not sure just what problems you were experiencing, so can't say this was the cause (and will be the fix) - but if it applies to your system - I'd definitely give it a shot. I checked a couple of systems that had this update - I see it now on the software drivers and update page for them, so it looks like it rolled out OK.
Happy Holidays...

Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates? I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

Need some advice

I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

>cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

A few days ago, Software Update showed a printer driver update for HP so I installed it. Now, after everything that I print, I get an extra page that just has "2345X" printed on it. I tried reinstalling the driver update but still get the extra page. Anyone know how to get stop this extra pgae from printing?

Hello charliemun,
What I suggest is to reset the print system, click the link below to proceed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Once you have reset the print system please make sure you are selecting the HP Driver and not the Airprint driver (see picture below)
Please let me know if this has resolved the error of the extra page with the numbers on it, or if you require more assistance.
Thanks,

HT3669 Epson printer driver update for 10.8.5

Apple lists "software available" to update my Epson Artisan 50 printer driver to version 9.0. However, when I do an Apple software update the printer is not listed and does not update. Epson website says all updates must be done through Apple. I just recently got a new iMac with Mountain Lion and switched the printer from my old 10.4 iMac. It no longer prints colors accurately so after going through all the standard "fixes" with Epson I hoped a driver update would help. Any ideas?

sorry - it is HP Photosmart D110a. the HP website says that there is no additional software other than the Apple update:
"With the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, HP is providing updated print drivers and software for your printer. These updates are available through Apple Software Update . You do not need to download a driver from HP to use your printer with Mountain Lion."

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03379337&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=4023246&sw_lang=
What functionality is available in the HP driver update through Apple Software Update?
Depending on the printer functionality , one or more of the following software components might be included in the HP driver update for Mountain Lion:
HP print driver
HP fax driver
HP Utility
HP scanning files compatible with Apple’s Image Capture and Preview applications

Driver update for HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One Printer - B211a using Mac OS X 10.10 YOSEMITE

Since I installed the last Mac OS X Yosemite ver 10.10 my printer is out of the driver update, besides the driver dowload page says it exist, but when I click on the version of my operating system 10.10, it only delivers for 10.9 which is Mavericks, missleading to dowload the wrong driver, Could somebody let me know how and when this issue is going to be fix? Are we going to be notified as this driver is available? That would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Hello, You can try Installing the OS X v10.10 Yosemite HP Print Driver from Apple Software Update. Hope this helps!
