Firmtek eSATA card installs correctly, but doesn't see Vantec Enclosure

So obviously I bought the new Firmtek 2SM2-E eSATA video card to work with my MacBook Pro and Vantec eSATA / USB 2.0 enclosure. It's a 500GB Seagate eSATA drive that I've formatted as FAT32. The drive works great via USB 2.0 connection in both Windows and OS X, but the eSATA part has me stumped.
RTM, installed the drivers under OS X first, and after connecting the card under XP. Used the drivers from the correct folders on the disc for each, and both show the correct information and look fine. But the "light" on the Firmtek card has NEVER lit up, and though I've double and triple-checked the eSATA cable that came with the Vantec enclosure, I'm SURE I've connected it correctly. The power for the Vantec is plugged in, and the light on the DRIVE ENCLOSURE is on... but nothing from the Firmtek and the drive does NOT show up.
Looking in Windows, I went to Drive Manager. I couldn't see the drive partition in here, so I knew something was amiss. When I went to click on Removable Drives, I got an error and a red checkbox. It mentioned removable devices might be disabled, and when I went to services that was the case. I set it to automatic, started the service, and rebooted... no change.
In OS X, all I really know to do is look at the new icon at the top of the page. It's there, the correct info shows and the "Power off card" option is there. So it appears to be installed correctly, but again... no luck from the drive.
Maybe the cable that came with the Vantec enclosure is bad? It's all I can come It plugs in solid on both ends... so I can't figure out WHAT the heck is wrong.
Thoughts? Suggestions? There is NO info on FirmTek's site yet, so I guess I'll copy and paste this to them.

I think I found the solution for the Seagate drives.
I purchased the following:
SeriTek 2SM2-E expresscard34
1 Seagate 7200.10 320GB SATA_II NCQ w/Perpendicular Rec. OEM
2 Seagate 7200.9 500GB SATA_II NCQ Retail Box
AZIO eSATA/USB 2.0 enclosure
I ran some tests and here is what I get:
320GB drive w/1.5Gb/s jumper on ------ works
320GB drive w/1.5Gb/s jumper off ----- doesn't work
500GB drive w/1.5Gb/s jumper on ------ works
500GB drive w/1.5Gb/s jumper off ----- doesn't work
My 320GB 7200.10 OEM drive came WITH the jumper installed.
My two 500GB 7200.9 Retail drives came with the jumpers OFF and none are included in the box. So I don't know where to get one, I am currently using the one that came on my 320GB drive on the 500GB. A regualar jumper might fit but it will be a tight squeeze getting it on there.
To limit your drive to 1.5Gb/s so they will work with the SeriTek, simply place the small jumper so that it covers the farthest 2 pins to the right (when looking at the back, power/sata connectors). There also should be a pic of the jumper installation on the sticker on the top of the drive.
Also, those worried about the performance hit from running your drives at the slower SATA-150 speed, DON'T.
This SeriTek express card has 2 eSATA ports and even if you RAID them to 2 eSATA II drives you will not even reach 150MB/sec combined for the two drives. Check out barefeat's review of this card w/ two SATAII drives http://www.barefeats.com/hard71.html
Notice even the new 10Krpm Raptors (I run 2xRAID-0 in my desktop) are still using the older SATA-150 b/c that is not the bottleneck, the drive is.

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

I have put in all of my card details correctly but iTunes keeps saying my card is declined what don't do?

On my iphone I have gone into my iTunes account and entered all of my card details correctly however every time iTunes has told my card has been declined. The purchases I have been trying to make have all been free so it would not require money and my card had worked before can someone please help??

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

Windows XP Home installs correctly, but Boot Camp control panel will not

I put XP Home onto my 13" MPB and everything works except the Boot Camp control panel and the multitouch and special keys. When I put in the disc it loads and starts to install, as it finishes up and installs the control panel, it shuts down and doesn't install. When it restarts everything except control panel are there. Am I doing something wrong? I have reinstalled twice now with no avail.
XP Home SP2
NTFS

Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

Perfect wifi reception, IP-parameters correct, but doesn't work

Hi all,
In my house I have several computers connecting to the internet through a Belkin N1 wireless router. There usually are 2 macbooks and 1 mac mini (c2d 2.0GHz), all now running Snow Leopard. Since the mini doesn't support N-networking, I've disabled that in the router. The macbooks connect perfectly, no problem there. The mac mini is another story.
When I bought it it ran Leopard, and contrary to the Macbooks it usually connected with a measly 2 bars in the wifi-indicator. But it worked. Since I upgraded it to Snow Leopard, it has perfect 4 bar reception all of the time, but it doesn't actually work. 90% of the time it is totally isolated from the network, despite showing perfect reception and all tcp/ip parameters configured correctly. If I monitor the connection by pinging the router, I see it works for a few seconds, and then most of the ping packets fail with either a timeout or a 'host is down'. It's not just the router, the mac mini can't reach the macbooks either. It appears that switching airport off and on helps, but mostly just for a few seconds, if I'm lucky it'll work for roughly half an hour.
Changing from dhcp to manual configuration makes no difference. The connection always works long enough for dhcp to retrieve the network parameters.
I'm pretty experienced with network stuff, but a system that indicates that all is well while it doesn't actually work, doesn't really give me any starting leads. What can I do?

Well, iStumbler answered some questions and created some new ones: Wifi reception is not erratic at all, it's constantly terrible, a stable 20%. All that time the menubar indicator happily reports 4 bars. Still, while both indicators show no variation at all, the actual network functionality will always go from perfect to nothing at all, a few seconds after switching on airport. Switching airport off and on again consistently helps for getting a few seconds of connectivity.
One afternoon, the indicator in the menubar correctly indicated the poor reception. Can you guess what happened? Yep, the network functioned properly for hours.
So it seems I have two issues to deal with; one is the poor reception that only the mini seems to suffer from (now there are some net interference issues in that corner of the room too, so I have some leads to follow there), and a bug in the Snow Leopard airport driver that at least makes it indicate a totally wrong reception quality, but probably also messes up the actual communication (since it should work with the poor reception, and it did until I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6). Come to think of it, when installing the Snow Leopard upgrade, I had no problems downloading the huge amounts of online updates. So it might actually be a bug recently introduced.
The search goes on.. unfortunately without having internet radio on the hifi system while searching

Itunes Installs Correctly But wont open new development

Hello I posted previously about this same problem. Here is a quick review:
have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows XP and I installed it correctly yet when I attempt to open it the hourglass appears for a second and then disappears and no iTunes. I tried to open it with the process list in front of me and saw that it indeed opens but then disappears off the list. Please help. I do not have any firewalls running, am an administrator on my computer, have tried uninstalling-reinstalling several time on different Windows accounts but nothing has worked.
Quicklime launches fine. No error messages or anything
no firewall
Ok now something new has happened. I downgraded to Itunes 6 so I could still listen to my music and it has run fine until a few minutes ago when I attempted to open it and this appeared:
Also as you can see my entire library is gone (not the music but within itunes)
From what I can conclude it seems my previous Itunes library has interfered with the new one perhaps... But why are there Japanese symbols in the message?
One explanation might be that in the previous I tunes I had songs with Japanese names but I am unsure. Please help.
Thank You

good lord ... maybe it was a library file problem all along with the 7.0.x install? (i don't usually think of them as producing error-message-free itunes launch failures ... but we checked everything else that it seemed like it could be.)
perhaps try doing a library file recreation, as per the following document:
How to recreate your iTunes Library
do you get your library back?
if so (if you're so inclined), perhaps try another 7.0.x install ... do you get a proper launch of itunes 7.0.2 after the install (with the fresh library file in place)?

Itunes Installs Correctly, but will not Open

Hello
I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows XP and I installed it correctly yet when I attempt to open it the hourglass appears for a second and then disappears and no iTunes. I tried to open it with the process list in front of me and saw that it indeed opens but then disappears off the list. Please help. I do not have any firewalls running, am an administrator on my computer, have tried uninstalling-reinstalling several time on different Windows accounts but nothing has worked.
Please help me. Thank You.

I'm having the exact same problem I think. Spent about an hour on the phone with tech support, installing and uninstalling to no avail.
Basically, when I would click on the itunes icon, it would try to open.Sometimes, a white EULA screen would pop up VERY fast and close immediately....I couldn't click on anything. Other times, nothing except hourglass. Same behavior as others in task manager.
Tried opening things up in safe mode and got much further. It wouldn't open everytime...sometimes, I have to shut down in task manager a couple of times, but it would open eventually. Once I couldn't open and had to shut down, but it does eventually open.
Now here's the important part (I think): After accepting the EULA in safe mode, I get an error message that says " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio config. Audio / Video playback may not operate properly." Everytime I open it now in safe mode, get the same message. In normal mode, iTunes behaves exactly as before (.exe pops up in TM, but does nothing and closes) with no error. So I'm thinking that this "audio config problem" is causing iTunes to shutdown in normal mode.
I'm still working on figuring out how to get rid of error. I've tried disabling everything under Sound in device manager...no help. I also tried removing Windows Media PLayer's association with all files thinking one file type may have 2 default programs.
Anyone else with this problem able to confirm similar error? (use F8 during startup to get into safe mode) Let me know if you figure anything out or have ideas of what may be conflicting.

Tab order shows correctly, but doesn't work in PDF

Does anyone else have the problem, or know how to solve it, where you go through and set up the tab order correctly numbers for each page, but then when you tab through the preview pdf or the saved pdf, it will jump between pages instead of going through the tab order you just setup? I'm completely frustrated, as it seems to work with some perfectly, barely work with some, and sometimes if i take a working form and add even just one text box, it blows the entire tab order out.

Thanks everybody. I went through and checked the aligning of the hundreds of checkboxes i have. I also had to end up giving names to some of my pages and
subforms to help fix the issue. honestly i can't tell what fixed it but i think a combination of all them helped. maybe it was too confused with so many unnamed subforms, checkboxes, etc.
I think it'd be a huge win for Adobe if for the next version they could just fix the bugs and try automating/making things easier. it took forever to design this and with a high learning curve.

Loop auditions correctly but doesn't play correctly in Logic project

I've found this particular loop, "Euro Move Synth 3" play correctly when I audition it but as soon as i drag it over into a project, the file will not play as auditioned. I've tried deleting the loop and reinstalling and creating new projects. Using totally default settings. Can anyone confirm the same problem and/or help?
Thanks

Hello,
don't forget that Apple Loops adapt to the speed and key of your project. Maybe you have prelistened the loop in it's original speed and key and said "cool!", and now in your project (other tempo, lower or higher key) it sounds "....".
Another possibility is that you had selected a Midi Loop which is dependend on the software instruments. Maybe you have inserted only the midi data of the loop into an existing software instrument track. In this case, the loops are played back with the wrong sound.
Instead, insert the loop below the existing tracks into the arrangment window. It automatically creates a new track with the right software instrument settings.

Download OK, have installer app, but doesn't run

The installer is in my Applications folder, but double clicking on it looks like it's launching -- then NOTHING. No error message, no activity, no Installer icon in my dock, no windows pop up... nada. Any ideas? (July '13 Air running 10.8.4)

What is the app? What "homepage" do you mean?

Check box in matrix column bind correctly but doesn't appear check sign

Dear Sirs,
I have a check box in a matrix column (the matrix is placed i an extra folder in the item master data form).
The column is bound to a DBDataSource related to the user defined table @IIT_ITM1 as reported in the following code. The table field bound to the check box column is alphanumeric of size 1.
I use the following code:
                oCln = oMtx.Columns.Add("Per_coll", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_CHECK_BOX);
                oCln.DisplayDesc = true;
                oCln.Description = "For test";
                oCln.TitleObject.Caption = "For test";
                oCln.ValOn = "Y";
                oCln.ValOff = "N";
                oCln.Width = 60;
                oCln.DataBind.SetBound(true, "@IIT_ITM1", "U_IIT_PerColl");
                oCln.Editable = true;
The problem is: the binding to the database work (if I click on the check box and save the data, then the database content change accordingly) but I CANNOT LET THE USER SIGN APPEAR on the check box control!
Does anyone have the solution?
Thank you for help
Massimo

HP Office Jet 4630 Printer seems to be installed correctly but doesn't print

I have Windows Vista on my laptop and am trying to install a new HP OJ 4630 e-all-in-one wireless printer. Drivers installed completely. I can see the printer just fine on my network. I can scan from printer to laptop. But I cannot print from this laptop. A print error message will pop up saying that the software cannot see the printer. Is the printer installed?
Using the HP Print and Scan Doctor, a test page will not print, but an internal page will. There seems to be some sort of port config error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.

Itunes installs ok but doesn't scroll properly. plz help!

Ive installed itunes so many times, it doesn't scroll properly and i cant see the file, edit, view etc..(the bar at the top). I cant get a clear view of all my music and its driving me mental!! Does any1 kno wots wrong?

It may be that the toolbar is "hiding" off the top of your screen. Try reducing the screen resolution (right-click on the desktop, select Personalize, then Display Settings). If that then allows you to see the iTunes toolbar, drag it lower on the screen, then set the display resolution back to normal.
Hope this helps.

Time Machine on Mountain Lion Server Accepts But Doesn't See Backups From Lion

I recently (hopefully) upgraded our Mac Mini Server from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion plus the Server app. A Drobo F is attached via FireWire and has a Time Machine partition on it. I've configured the Server app to offer the Time Machine partition on the Drobo for backups and we've got three machines using it: a relatively new MacBook Air running 10.8.2, an aging MacBook Pro running 10.8.2, and a pretty new MacBook Pro running 10.7.5. All three of the machines are able to backup to the Time Machine volume on the Mini. However…
Only the backups from the two machines running ML show up on the Time Machine Backups tab in the Server app. There is an entry for the Backups from the Lion machine, but the latest backup is reported as "Unknown." If I click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar on the Lion machine it shows a reasonable (and recent) time for the latest backup. The log entries in Console for com.apple.backupd also look reasonable – and uninteresting. And newly backuped up files are visible in Time Machine.
The on obvious difference that I notice is that the in the .sparsebundle folders for the ML machines there are two files called:
com.apple.TimeMachine.Results.plist, and
com.apple.TimeMachine.SnapshotHistory.plist
Those files are not present in the .sparsebundle folder for the Lion machine (even after a successful backup).
Is this a clue or is it a Lion vs ML difference?
Does anybody have a Lion machine successfully backing up to a ML server and showing up on the Backups tab?
Any advice on this would be appreciated!

Same here - TM clients running 10.6.8 display as "unknown" on the /Backups tab on ML Server (ML 10.8.3).
My one client on a ML machine is correctly displayed (time/date of last TM backup).
As far as I can tell, the TM backups are working properly on the 10.6.8 machines. The problem seems to be a bug in ML Server
Solution: upgrade all 10.6.8 machines to Mountain Lion.
Roadblock: my 1st-gen MacBook Air doesn't support ML.
