Expansion Slot Utility not detecting DeckLink HD Extreme Card

I just installed a DeckLink HD Extreme card in my Mac Pro today including all of the software and drivers. When I went into the Expansion Slot Utility it showed up but said the card was running below the maximum supported speed. So I picked a configuration that would work best for the cards that are in the machine. After restarting and opening the Expansion Slot Utility the card was no longer being detected. I even tried going back to the old configuration uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it was not detected. Any help would be much appreciated.

Leopard and 2008 don't need or support the utility. The slots are fixed to begin with. Only the 1st gen Mac Pro needed it.

  • Early model Mac Pro's Expansion Slot Utility not working with 10.5.6 update

    I'm reading that the 10.5.6 update may have crippled the Expansion Slot Utility for early Mac Pros.
    I have a 2.66 Mac Pro, and I just installed a Kona 3 card in slot 3. Already had an ATI 1900xt in slot 1. However, the Expansion Slot Utility program detects only the ATI Card.
    However, in System Preferences - the PCI column clearly shows slots 1 & 3 are occupied and with drivers installed for the respective boards... The Kona card works for video preview (further indicating that it's installed correctly - but the Expansion Slot Utility is broken), but I understand that the Kona card is operating at the 1x speed, thus crippling it...
    Apple please fix this... Any administrators or someone in the loop care to elaborate please...
    Thanks,
    Lonnie

    So, here's the deal. Running the Expansion Slot Utility still works for our model of computer - it just doesn't register correctly within the program. This is only a cosmetic flaw. I've confirmed this with AJA and in System Prefs under PCI columns.
    Also, AJA recommends 4Lane, slot 3. There it lies. Furthermore slot 4 concerns me - too close to drive bays for proper air circulation and the propensity for over heating.
    The main issue of not sleeping has been answered by AJA. Their Kona 3 card does not support sleep.
    Guess I'll be turning my computer off instead of sleeping it after hours - no biggee...

  • Expansion Slot Utility not working -- How to fix / Get a fresh copy?

    I want to configure my PCIe slots to 8x 8x 1x 8x...
    The reason for this is because I'm fitting an ATi X1900 with a passive cooler (Noise!), and it won't fit in the double-height slot.
    All the info suggests running 8x v. 16x will make no difference: http://www.barefeats.com/quad14.html
    However, my Expansion Slot Utility won't run. It worked fine the first time, when I looked at it, but now -- no go.
    The 'Don't Show This Utility Again' button was definitely NOT checked.
    I don't want to have to re-install the whole OS just to get a working ESU...can I download a fresh one from anywhere?

    I DID read your post:
    Hatter...you can't run it from the Utilities folder...it won't work. I tried. Only running it from the CoreServices folder worked.
    So is that now false?
    I launched the copy that I have that I put in /Utilities and confirmed that it will launch and works fine.
    Next, I checked and saw that there was an option when you launch it to "not show again" in the window.
    There must be something wrong on your end. So don't tell me I didn't read your post (or Ned's) and I did see that you had it open in back. Couldn't tab to it.
    But.... it sounded like... you tried to confirm and re-launch it again. At least that is what I would do, to test whether it can be launced, rather than to say "can't be launched except from CoreServices" which I know to be FALSE.
    No where did you say, "okay, it launches now from Utilities."
    So be clear - it ain't easy.

  • Powerbook will not startup with airport extreme card installed

    I have a 2 year old powerbook using 10.3.9 an djust of late when my airport card is in, The computer just sends me to the open Firmware right after i turn it on.when i type mac-boot it comes up with a broken folder icon. however when i take my card out i dont have a problem. is there a wa i can ues my computer and the airport at the same time? what do you think i should do.

    it is a 867 mhz g4 with 256 mb ddr ram. 40 gb hd and
    a combo drive. i hope that is helpfull.
    This PowerBook requires the original Airport card, you can not use the Airport Extreme card in that PowerBook, any attempt to do so could result in damage to both the card and the PowerBook.
    Either change the AE card for an original Airport or use a third party 802.11g card in the cardbus slot.

  • Could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on xp sp2 Sys

    I have Audigy Platinum and trying to install to a recently re-installed windows xp sp2 system. On my previous install everything was working fine and now I am looking to install the newest drivers and the error comes up [color="#ff3300">"could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on system". The strange thing is windows recognizes the card and will install it's drivers, but when I go to install the latest driver update I get the error. In addition, I also tried to run the install from my original disk.
    I also?un-installed the devices showing? in the windows device manager, then tried and the same error, I even tried it in safe mode. Any ideas?Thanks and Advance,Mikel

    Yes i think the real lesson here is not to buy creative,. i have the same problem with their junky card, so i guess ill just have to take buisness somewhere else. if you all do the same perhaps the threat of them going out of buisness will have them deal with their problems. if not atleast we saved others the headache of learning this lesson.

  • Why Airport Utility not pick up AirPort Extreme?

    Suddenly AirPort Utility on MacPro not picking up AirPort Extreme for wireless.  Other Macs in house connecting just fine.

    Restart the AE and try again.

  • "Could not detect any Soundblaster Audio card" - HE

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone out there can shed some light - I've read about a million posts on various forums suggesting how to solve the problem but nothing seems to work.
    Everything was running just fine until I exchanged a video card. Swapped back from a nVidia Geforce 4 MX 64MB to an Asus V8200 64MB in the AGP slot. All of a sudden - no more soundcard. In Device Manager it tells me that it can see a PCI Card that it doesn't recognise and a Multimedia Audio Controller that it doesn't recognise.
    Am running the following:
    OS: Win2K (fully updated)
    MoBo: SiS 730S (notably only 2 PCI slots and an AGP slot)
    Soundcard: Soundblaster Li've! CT4670
    I've tried swapping the Li've! card between the two PCI slots (including with complete uninstalls in between), have reseated both the Video and Sound cards and reinstalled drivers for the Video card AND MotherBoard.
    I have a vague suspicion that the problem lies in an IRQ conflict, but the system resource tools in Windows suggest that there are no conflicts (even thought the video and sound cards are sharing IRQ ). I haven't been able to adjust the IRQ settings because if I take off the automatic settings in BIOS, Windows refuses to boot. :P
    I've tried running the latest driver software from the Creative website and it just tells me that it couldn't detect any Soundblaster Audio Card. Extracted the zip file and tried to apply the drivers manually - reckons it's not the same. Tried the KX drivers - still doesn't want to talk.
    The sound icon in system tray has vanished - but the system still recognises the gameport, midi controls etc.
    HELP!!! Anyone got any ideas? (save going and buying new equipment?)

    Have you tried running the "CTZAPXX.exe" or "Setup.exe" file in the "Drivers" folder in the unzipped files? It should have no problem installing the drivers, unless you have a defecti've card. You may alos need to install the programs by using the setup file in each program's folder.

  • Capturing from a Decklink HD Extreme card and HVR-M15 HDV deck

    Probably not the best place to post this but I sent a request to Blackmagic Tech Support and also posted on the COW.
    I was wondering if anyone is using this card/deck and how they are cabling it into their Mac. I am using a Quad G5 and have both the consumer and professional cables to go into my card. Installed it today and everything is working great but want to get the best quality.
    Thanks all...

    ah, much worse than I feared. After spending the day with this gent it turns out several things are wrong w/ the system.
    One: The new LaCie Big Two drive always comes up with a dialogue box saying the drive isn't readable, but we are to ignore that. There is something wrong with the way LaCie's config file is set... they know about it, but can't do anything about it. that dialogue box comes up every single time you start your computer. LaCie says it's a Leopard thing!
    Two: The Blackmagic HD Extreme card and JVC BR-U50 is a waste of money as it turns out. When tech support finally asked if I was trying to capture HDV 1280 @ 24p...that's when the tech guy says, 'Oh, there's your problem. We don't capture 24p...sorry. You can only edit and output, you can't capture. You have to use firestorm instead.'
    Okay. He now captures his HDV via firewire and doesn't even use the Blackmagic card now.
    wow.
    anyway, thanks for your advice...

  • CSi expansion slots and p2 (pcmcia) and sxs (express card) reading.

    i have a mac pro about a 1.5 years old that i do some video editing on (final cut pro).
    excuse my ignorance but what are the pci expansion slots for?
    do they make cards readers for p2 and sxs cards that fit into
    these slots (as opposed to using usb/firewire connections)?

    Hi indore,
    Yes DV is a good starting point,P2 is great, there are some small issues to get to know about all formats out there these days, use what your comfortable with, or use what your clients will pay for that's a better rule to use.
    I posted my results to date at-

    More testing to make sure all is good is still under way, may be a few weeks yet, i'm getting some colleagues to test on their Macpro's as well. So far all is good.

  • Airport Utility - Not detecting Extreme/Express,

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I've installed the Airport Utility but it isn't detecting either the Airport Extreme/Express. I can manually connect to them through the utility by entering the ip addresses and I can connect to the wireless network.
    The problems are that itunes isn't detecting the Airport Express therefore making it redundant and the wireless internet connection keeps dropping internet connectivity. I'm using a Netgear WN111v2 USB adaptor to connect. It was all running smoothly on Vista but not now.
    I have tried disabling the firewall (AVG) and restarting everything but still no luck. The internet will work fine for a few minutes then every page will fail to load for about a minute even though it is still connected the the airport network. Eventually is will just start working again or if you disconnect/reconnect it will too.
    I really am stuck at this point so need help. If any more information is needed just ask.
    Regards,
    Ivan

    bump!
    need help! or I want my money back for the express as, due to software errors on apple's side, it no longer performs as marketed.

  • Airport Utility not always recognizing Airport Extreme

    I recently bought a new Airport Extreme so I could connect wirelessly to my iTunes library (which is too big to fit on my hard drive) and stream music to my receiver. I hooked up a USB external drive with my library on it to the Airport Extreme and I'm using my old (pre-2005) Airport Express in client mode to stream music to my receiver..
    The problem is my MacBook can't consistenly connect to the network. I'll get a "connection failed" message when I click on AirPort Extreme under "Shared" in my finder window and when I run Airport Utility, it will say "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort wireless devices." Restarting solves the problems sometimes, but not all the time. It seems kind of random but it's very common.
    Does anybody have any hints that might help my MacBook consistenly connect to the network? It's really annoying, especially when I start up iTunes to listen to music and it gives me that "the song cannot be found" error message.
    I realize the problem might be my old Airport Express, but I'd rather not spend the $99 for a new Airport Express if I'm not absolutely sure that's the problem.
    Thanks!

    Airport utility has long had a "bug" where it randomly doesn't see a base station or remote. Sometimes refreshing brings it back, sometimes just letting Airport Utility (AU) sit for a while brings it back.
    The only way I know for a fact to bring it back is to unplug the station, wait ten seconds, plug it back in, wait until you get a green light, then launch AU.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of AU, and the latest firmware update for the base station (both of which appeared yesterday).
    Good luck,
    Matt

  • AirPort Utility not detecting Airport Base Station nor Airport Express

    Earlier today, we were listening to music on multiple speakers (computer and airtunes / airport express) as we always do. Nothing new here. Stereo speakers stopped and computer lost connection with Airport Express. Couldn't get it to reconnect. Unplugged airport express and plugged it back in - no dice. Hard restart.....AirPort Utility detected it once and I tried to reconfigure. Got an error message at the end of configuration.....
    Now.....
    Airport Utility doesn't even pick up the Airport Express. Not only that, it doesn't pick up the Airport base station, which we use for our internet connection (and I'm using right now). Both are old - Airport base station is the round small anthill looking one (probably about 6 or 7 years old) and airport express is about 5 years old. Never had a problem with either. Airport Utility is 5.4.2.
    For now, Airport base station is working, but I don't have access to it via Airport Utility. Airport express just flashes amber......

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Not sure what to suggest that you may have not already tried. I would recommend that you start with the base station first to see if you can access the settings in AirPort Utility.
    Have you tried connecting an ethernet cable from your computer directly to one of the LAN ports on your base station to see if that will help? Power down your base station and computer before you hook up the ethernet cable. If no luck at first, leave the ethernet cable connected as sometimes the base station will simply "appear" after a few minutes.
    If still no luck after several tries, your only alternative is to hard reset the router back to factory defaults and try to reconfigure it.
    Once you get the base station back, you can use the same procedure on the Express to see if you can reconfigure it.

  • Airport Utility cannot detect my airport extreme base?

    I just bought the airport extreme today, and the macbook earlier this week.
    i'm struggling with it big time.
    I tried rescanning a few times. the light on the base is solid green. (not right now obviously, i had to disconnect the ethernet cable in order to ask this question.)

    I am seeing a lot of threads for this issue but no answers that seem to work.
    I went on vacation at the beginning of November and brought my Airport Xpress with me so I could have wireless. I was able to set it up no problem. Upon returning this week (and after an update to OS X) I can no longer see the Airport Express or my main Airport Extreme (even though the lights are green) in Airport Utility. I have restarted everything multiple times and tried to connect from all three of my Mac computers, and nothing.
    I am able to use the internet wirelessly through the Airport Extreme, but now can't reconnect my Express to my network so I can use airtunes or my printer.
    Apple? Any answers other than to restart?

  • Emac disk utility not detecting ibook hardrive in Firewire mode

    ok so i got this ibook g3 (800 mhz version) with no os on it so i hooked it up to my emac via firewire and booted the ibook in the firewire mode. i go into the emac disk utility to format the drive and its not there. i tried booting my emac in fire wire mode and the ibook finds the Emacs drive as a bootable drive. i tried booting the ibook from the drive but all that happed was getting the apple logo with the loading thing below it. i think the ibook is unable of booting since its 10.5.2. so any reason why the disk utility on the emac isnt finding the drive or is it a bad drive?

    thanks for the help, i'm pretty sure its a bad drive or a lose connection now, i used my emac restore disk with 10.3 on it and was able to find the disk drive with a disk in it on the ibook in TDM but not the hard drive. guess im going to have to do the 20+ screw surgery on it to put in a new hard drive/look at the connection. i should just save and buy a macbook lol

  • Format Utility not detecting the external HardDrive

    Hi,
    I have got a new WesternD 1TB hardDrive.
    I am trying to add it to my unix box but I have some problems.
    I can do fdisk and set 10% of it as Solaris2:
    # fdisk /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0
    Cylinders
    Partition Status Type Start End Length %
    ========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
    1 Active Solaris2 1 6080 6080 10
    2 DOS-BIG 6081 12160 6080 10
    Still when I run the "format" utility I don't see the Drive.
    I need to know how can I slice the fdisk partition as just trying to mount the fdisk partition is failing with:
    # mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p1 /mount-part1/
    mount: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p1 is not this fstype
    Even-though I have specifiied in the fdisk the partition to be of type SOLARIS2 or UNIX.
    Thanks,
    JavaMoh

    Hi Everyone,
    I have found the solution, we should use rmformat instead of format to partition removable media.
