Drives by Intel?

System Profiler seems to be telling me that the drives (350 and 7500) in my new 3. quad core MacPro were made by Intel. I didn't know Intel did that and don't recall seeing them mentioned here. Am I reading this right? Do these drives have a rep?

The built-in SATA controller is in the Intel chip-set, so that may be what System Profiler is showing.. Disk Utility may give better drive information.

  • Driver Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series doesn't work with a specific Kingston USB

    Hello guys, just the other problem I'm facing with the 840 G2
    I'm working in the MDT image for the HP 840 G2 and I would like to comment you one problem that I found with the USB 3.0 drivers. Based in your webpage, the last HP USB 3.0 official drivers are:
    Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series Products
    3.0.1.41 A from 15 dic 2014
    I have found that those drivers doesn't work properly; if you insert a Kingston DTSE9 (32GB) the content of the usb will not be accessible randomly. The event viewer will display:
    The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk1\DR13
    To solve this problem you have to obtain the last version of the drivers from the Intel webpage:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Control...
    I have all the drivers properly installed and it seems that the computer is working fine, however I'm a little worry thinking if I should update all the driver to avoid possible problem like this one.
    If you have found similar problems it would be nice to share it.
    Thank you very much.

  • Can't Install IFFS Driver from Intel on U310

    I have a Lenovo U310.
    When I run 0wff06ww.exe, which is the installation for IFFS driver from intel, it gives me an error, saying "The Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." However, I downloaded this straight from the U310 driver website.
    Anyone know the problem?

  • Satellite A40-151: Cannot install display driver from Intel site

    Trying to update display driver on the A40-151. Have downloaded latest driver from Intel which very helpfully states 'You cannot install this driver, please contact your vendor' no more clues.
    Toshiba site only seems to have the 6.13.10.3514 version which is the same as that which came with machine. Am I therefore stuck with no possible upgrades?
    The current driver seems not to be 100% compatible with Directx 9.0c * Sigh *

    Hi
    What Intel graphic card was installed on your notebook?
    Is it a Intel 852GME 16MB-64MB shared memory graphic card???
    I have found nice information on the Intel page and it seems that the graphic card hardware does not support the DirectX9 but only the DirextX7 and DirecttX8
    The graphic driver from the Intel page will not help you.
    Firstly you will be not able to install it because its not designed for the Toshiba notebook usage and secondly the hardware does not support it.
    But I give you one tip if you search for a earlier driver version.
    Some notebooks use the same graphic cards. Try to search for the driver in different notebook series with the same graphic card .
    But the new installation will nothing change. The DirectX 9 API is not supported

    My thunderbolt 27" display works fine with Mac powerbook 13" 2.8Ghz, however with bootcamp and installed Windows 7 pro 64 bit version installed, the display only has a resolution of maximum 1280 X 800.  I updated the graphics driver to Intel HD3000 with no difference.  Any ideas how to get the same quality as with the mac os?

  • System Update Stalls at WiFi Driver for Intel Cards

    T510, XP 32bit. Running system update, it has now been stuck on the "WiFi Driver for Intel Cards (For windows xp 32bit)" installation going on 4 hours+ now.  This has happened with like model's / OS and the result is usually to force a reboot. And manually install it. Any suggestions why system update takes hours to install the WiFi Driver for Intel Cards (For windows xp 32bit)?

    Then don't try and install it. Uninstall the device and shutdown. Once you reboot it should rediscover and attempt the driver installation. It you're have trouble with the same driver package. Delete it/remove it and download it again and deoompress the package. Be sure it's the right on for the OS and device.
    You may have to work in safe mode to clean this up.

  • HP LaserJet 4 Postscript driver on Intel MacBook Pro

    I have an HP Laserjet 4M printer (with a JetDirect card) on my network. On my other Macs (PowerBook G4, PowerMac G4, Mac Mini PPC) all running 10.4 I set the printer up and was able to use the 'HP Laserjet 4/4M PostScript' (v1.1.0.X) driver. The support site lists printer drivers included with 10.4 and lists the 'HP LasderJet 4/4M PostScript' driver (v1.1.0.X) as being part of the HP printer package provided with 10.4 - I assume that is what I'm using on these machines. I just got a new MacBook Pro with 10.4 and can't find the HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript driver anywhere - I've tried to re-load the HP printer drivers from the install CD and it says they are already installed. When I choose the model in the printer setup utility I see the LJ 4 Gimp driver but not the other. I've currently set it up with the Generic PostScript driver, but that doesn't have any of the model specific options that the HP driver has. Are the printer drivers that are supplied with 10.4 different for PowerPC vs Intel Macs? Or am I not looking in the right place for the driver?
    TIA
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    Well done with finding the file. Based on your info I searched the PPD folder and found the LaserJet 4.gz, which after unpacking and opening saw that it was ppd for the HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript 600DPI entry I could see in the printer list under HP.
    As to how this file got there I cannot say for sure. I would have said that it was part of the 10.4.6 DVD that came with the MacBook Pro. But after checking a new Mini, I found it doesn't have this file? So, I know I have previously run a HP installer to help a forum postee. Maybe the LaserJet 4.gz was added by this installer. Certainly the 'Date Modified' field is different to the other HP files (04/03/2005 vs 17/11/2005) and it is the only file with this date. Very weird!!
    Looking at the ppd there is reference to five printer driver plug-ins;
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpColorOptions.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpEdgeToEdge.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpFinishing.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpImageQuality.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpProofAndPrint.plugin"
    Now, all of these files are present on my Mac and when I looked at the info of these files I found there are written in Universal. Checking the Mini again, I found the same files, also in Universal, so it looks like the plug-ins are part of the OS X 10.4.6 install. So, if the LaserJet 4.gz file was added by a different installer, it is interesting that it makes use of these plugins that are already present.
    Anyway, we may never now the answer but the concern now is that you have a speed/quality issue using the ppd. The fact that you took this file from a PPC Mac won't be the issue. A ppd is just a text file describing a variety of options for the printer. But if you don't have those plugins mentioned earlier then that could cause delays and the quality issue, because the option to set the 600dpi quality is within these plugins. The other thing could be that the ppd you obtained from the PPC Mac wants to use different files to the ones you do have. Open the ppd using TextEdit - you should see something near the top like above (or the exact thing). Look at where the files should be and check that they are there.
    The other thing I noticed is that the ppd is calling an old version of the PostScript Interpreter (v2011.110), which is Level 2. I'm not sure how well the Intel Mac's work with level 2, maybe additional instructions are required or Rosetta has to be used which is causing delays in the file creation and therefore the spooling? Without a PSLvl2 device I cannot confirm this, but it may explain why the PPC's are spooling faster than the Intel. A test could be to set the Universal application to open using Rosetta. I would use TextEdit, and with it still set to Universal, print a few pages and time it. Then, set TextEdit to open using Rosetta (by doing a Get Info on the application icon) and print the same file. If there is no difference then my idea is rubbish and there must be something else. But if it does make a difference, then you have a workaround. Although I personally believe that slowing your Mac so that the spooling appears quicker is not the answer. Might be time to invest in a brand new HP...

  • Can I use same USB drive for Intel and PPC backup?

    Hi, I have a USB hdd that was used for TV recording but failed on that so I reformatted it as Mac OS extended journaled with 6 partitions (GUID), and using SuperDuper, cloned Lion from a Macbook Air and Tiger from my eMac into different partitions, with the idea of using it as an extra backup.
    Tested the USB drive on Disk Utility verify disk function and it said all 6 partitions appear OK. Can boot the MBA from the USB drive (although slow) but the eMac does not show the disk image on the USB drive as an optional restart item.  I have eMac backed up on a separate Firewire drive but would like to use the USB drive as a second line of defense.
    My question is, would I be able to restore from the Tiger dmg on the USB drive, given that it is GUID and not Apple partition scheme. Would I have to reformat it to Apple partition scheme. Also, how would you go about a restore  from the USB drive if the eMac's OS was kaput?

    You can't store a clone of an Intel-based Mac and a clone of a PowerPC-based Mac on the same drive.
    That's because an Intel-based Mac can start from a GUID partition table, but a PowerPC-based Mac can only start if your USB drive is using Apple Partition Map instead of GUID. In your case, you have to buy another external drive to make a clone of the PowerPC-based Mac or the Intel-based Mac.
    To change the partition map of your USB drive:
    1. Open Disk Utility (it's in Applications > Utilities folder), and select your USB drive in the sidebar.
    2. Go to Partition tab, and press "Options" button, where you can choose the partition map you want: GUID, MBR or Apple Partition Map. Note that you won't be able to start an Intel-based Mac from a drive that uses Apple Partition Map

  • Win 8.1 x32 gfx driver for Intel Celeron embedded gpu

    Hello, i upgraded my Lenovo Flex 10  from windows 8 to windows 8.1 and there are drivers for everything except Display driver for embedded Intel Celeron GPU. What a shame?
    I tried to contact Intel, but their website says i should ask my solution manufacturer.
    My CPU is Celeron N2810 and there is only driver for x64, but it was x32 operating system installedon my Flex 10 and now i can not downgrade and there is no display driver, except Mycrosoft's default one (Metro Interface is laggy). 

    Hi,
    According to the results of these two dump file, they had same reason of BSOD, both they were running google update when BSOD occurs, maybe you can try to remove Chrome on your system for test.

    Chrome is not the problem, its very widely used so if there was a problem it would get fixed eventually
    its only a browser, the problem is a device. BSOD happens at the kernel level where the device drivers are loaded

  • Question regarding DVD/CD Drive on intel imac...

    My intel imac dvd drive is playing up. Its spinning longer than it should, making noises it shouldnt be and generally rejecting perfectly good DVD/CDs.
    My warrenty ran out and now I need a replacement. I called up Amsys; a company here in the Uk which deal with apple repairs and I was astounded at the quote I was given. £70 labour and £180 for the drive..£250 just for a DVD drive!?! I couldnt believe it.
    So, Im asking you the forum, what can I do? Yes I could get an external I suppose but is there another option? Could I get the right DVD drive from anywhere else and install it myself? Is that difficult?
    Any help would be apprecated.
    Cheers

    "Playing Up???" You mean "Acting Up???" Gosh, I wish you Brits would speak ENGLISH!!!
    Since your warranty is up, a new DVD drive wouldn't be that hard to replace, if you're competent with electronics. There are many websites with step-by-step instructions. (ifixit.com for one.) Go for it! Go with a better quality one that comes with the iMac. My new Aluminum iMac's DVD drive sounds and rejects perfectly good DVDs as your does. Cheapos???

  • Using G4 as external drive for Intel iMac?

    I have a G4 DA with lots of personal information in it, including one bootable HD with OS 9 stuff. I have finally broken down and bought a 20" 2.66 GHz iMac as I can see that software for non-Intel based machines is beginning to dry up.
    My question is, is there a way to hook the G4 to the iMac so that it can be used just as any other external drive could be used, without having to attach and detach cables every time I want to do it, or is the difference in processors such that this can't be done?
    I know many would say "just transfer the files from one to the other," but I am sentimental about the old machine and don't want to get rid of it. I have upgraded the processor to 1.67 GHz so it is no slowpoke, but it can't compete with the newer ones for applications like video streaming, and I have become tired of seeing the spinning beachball.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    a brody:
    One way I have to keep running a G4 for at least 30-40 years is to have 2-3 fully functional backup towers. I have a heavily upgraded Sawtooth and 2 spare towers in waiting for parts. I plan to get at least 1 more if not 2. A Sawtooth can be grabbed for as little as 50-80 on ebay. Even The lower MDD models like the dual 867 are well below 200 now often. Not an overly deep money pit to have some spare hardware.
    I also own a Mac Pro but I honestly have more pride in my Sawtooth. The one I run has painted plastics from an automotive painting shop. Along with many many other customizations that would take over this thread to have to list.
    My point is that with the proper arsenal of hardware to keep you going for years you can essentially keep running a G4 forever. I can understand someone's need to want to keep a G4 around forever. No matter how slow they are now or will be these towers have an appeal far beyond simple aesthetics.

  • Looking for driver for intel GMA 3650

    colours of background images of websites are all mapped to white and as such are invisible.
    I guess the reason could be that the last event of the WIN 10 microsoft basic diplay adapter driver install was: Das Gerät "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0BE2&SUBSYS_40121297&REV_09\3&11583659&0&10" erfordert weitere Installationen.

  • Driver for intel cs330 webcam on windows 7

    HI I have a great old webcam a Intel CS330, but i have just bought a new computer and its runing windows 7 and i cant seem to find a driver for it :( Could you please tell me where i may get this from if it is avalible or if it will be anytime soon.
    Thank You

    I was having this same issue and found a solution. I was thrilled when I upgraded to 7, until I found out that MANY drivers and applications are just not compatible. BUT....here's the loophole: you can set the program to run in Windows Vista compatibility
    mode and it WILL work. To do this: 1) Download the driver utility (CS330.exe in this case) to your desktop. Note: I used the CS330 driver for Windows XP and am running 64 bit Windows 7 on my computer. 2) Right click on the icon and select "Restore Previous
    Versions" 3) Select the "Compatibility" tab. 4) Check the box for "Compatibility Mode" and select "Windows Vista (Service pack 2) from the drop-down menu. 5) Click "Apply" and then "Ok" 6) Reboot your computer
    and click on the icon to install. Follow instructions given on the screen. Hope this helps!
    I tried this, doesn't want to find the driver in the c:/temp/cs330-xp dir

  • What do I port serial driver to Intel Solaris8?

    How do I port a serial driver from linux to intel solaris8 ?
    Because I can't find the serial driver sample, so it is difficult
    to make it work in intel solaris8.
    Are there someone knows how to handle? or any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    That kind of depends. Very old versions of LabVIEW only had one serial driver called serpdrv and several LabVIEW functions that called it. There were some advantages to using these when you built an exe since serpdrv was same and easily included with the exe distribution. Several years ago, a new communication API called VISA was introduced. VISA gave programmers a single driver to communicate with serial, gpib, VXI, ethernet, and now USB instruments. The downside to VISA for built applications was that the installation of the driver was a bit more difficult to include and it required quite a bit more disk space. I've preferred using VISA for quite a long time and since I typically use a mix of serial and gpib, VISA made the most sense to me. Now, in Lab
    VIEW 7, VISA is the only supported interface and NI has made the installation easier and the disk requirements smaller. So, if you're looking forward, I would recomend the VISA functions - VISA Write to send data to the serial port, and VISA Read to receive data. The older functions can be found on the I/O Compatability>Serial Compatability palette. LabVIEW 7 has a compability palette as well but they are VISA functions writeen to look like the old ones.
