GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
pci10de,a:
Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x252
Revision ID: 0x00a3
I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just for clarification:
You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

Hi,
I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick 10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

Video ipod not recognized by windows at all

My new video ipod suddenly cannot be recognized by Windows. I'm not really sure what happened - one day I was able to plug it in and have iTunes automatically start and sync, and now whenever I plug it in I just get the message "do not disconnect." Also, the iPod is not recognized by Windows - doesn't even show up in "My Computer," though it does show up in "Device Manager" and in the "Safely Remove Hardware" dialogue.
What could be wrong? I already uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalled them, to no luck. I also installed the new iPod system software 1.3 but also no luck. Finally, I uninstalled all of my USB ports and forced Windows to reinstall them, but that didn't work either. The first time I put in the iPod after that I got a dialogue box that it had recongized the new hardware and was installing the iPod, but nothing ever came of it.
However, both iTunes and my video iPod are fully functional, and I have taken VERY good card of the video iPod.
Any idea what could be wrong???

I tried it, setting it to E. It didn't work. Tried the same thing after setting it to disk mode and it didn't work. Just the same old BS about "Do not disconnect," but it isn't recongized anywhere on the system except for Device Manager and the Disk Management tool you mentioned. No acknowledgement from iTunes or in My Computer. Meanwhile both iTunes and my iPod work fine, but they can't communicate with each other.
I AM GOING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried every trick in the book that I could possibly think of. Not only did I uninstall and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime and the iPod helper, but after I uninstalled them I COMPLETELY nuked them, eliminating every file and clearing extraneous references out of the registry. Then I reinstalled from the CD going by the instructions by the letter. I thought for sure it would work now but for some ridiculous reason it doesn't.
I am completely at my wits' end.................. What the heck can I do???
PS: I also have Linux installed in a secondary extended partition, which is on my hard drive but not counted as C. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

Will do. Thanks for the advice.
This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

HP Pavilion tx1000z - Wireless card not recognized

Model: HP Pavilion tx1000z CTO Notebook PC
Wireless has been working fine - two weeks ago it failed to be recognized.
1. Doesn't appear in Device Manager
2. Wireless switch remains amber.
3. Attempted to use Add hardware - not recognized.
4. Pulled the card and re-installed.
No solution.
So...
Contacted HP and purchased a replacement card.
Installed new card.
No solution. Still failing to be recognized.
All other ports are working to include the wired internal modem.
Contaced HP help and their solution is to send it in to the repair center and for the low price of only $400(!) they'll replace the motherboard. This was after zero troubleshooting on their part.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated as I'm a deployed soldier and this laptop is my one link to home.
Thanks.

Well I cannot self promote but am actually affiliated with a store that could do the repair, but I will steer you instead to some of our peers. A very lively industry has popped up on ebay for such things. These ads talk about the "no video" problem but the "no wireless" is caused by the same thing. I would communicate with them in advance of buying and make sure they understand it is the "no wireless" problem and I am sure they will explain how they can fix that, too.
This guy does it for $125 flat and has a 100% rating:
TX 1000 repair
Here is another with a 99.6% rating
$115
They are all doing essentially the same repair which has proven to extend the life of the laptop by 12 to 18 months. I think somewhere up to $150 is fair for a year of use on a laptop as you would buy a new one for 4 times that or more and expect to get 3 or 4 years out of it.

APPLE DVI To Video Adapter Not recognized in Lion

Is anyone successfully using an APPLE M9267G/A DVI To Video Adapter, with a Power Mac using OSX 10.7+ ?
I am thinking that Lion has dropped driver support for this adapter. Can any confirm or deny?
Thanks

I've got a 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Xeon
running OSX 10.7.3
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB
and of course the APPLE M9267G/A DVI To Video Adapter
The apple video adapter attaches to video card via DVI-I
When booted with the APPLE M9267G/A DVI To Video Adapter alone, there is video signal present, but it is very unstable and will not lock at any available software resolution / frequency combination.
However, when I click the Detect Displays button the video signal stops.
The APPLE M9267G/A DVI To Video Adapter works a-ok with my

Why are my PXI cards not recognized by Windows or MAX?

I have a PXI-1045 chassis connected to a PC through MXI-4. When I turn the chassis and PC on with a PXI card in slot 2, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." appears, and the PXI card is not recognized (it is scene by Windows as an unidentifiable PCI Devices, though I have a DAQmx installed).
More details:
Windows XP
LabVIEW 8.0 installed
TestStand 4.0 installed
Latest DAQmx 8.XX installed
NI Scope installed
NI CAN installed
MXI-4 PCI card installed in PC and recognized by Windows (as PCI-PCI bridge, and MXI-4 Device)
I identified PXI chassis 1045 in MAX and on subsequent boot up saw that MAX complained about pxisys or some other ini file (in the chassis status area of the screen) so I configured it as 'other' then put in the PXI-resorce CD and selected the ini file for PXI-1045, MAX no longer complains about pxisys and instead says the chassis is configured properly
If I have nothing but the PXI MXI-4 card installed in the PXI system and boot up the chassis then the PC, I get no errors
If I have a card in slot two (I've tried PXI-6509 Industrial Digital IO, PXI-2569 Relay Module, and PXI-5102 Digital Oscilliscope) and boot the chassis then PC, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." shows up when Windows boots and Windows sees a PCI Device but can't identify any drivers for it.

Hello,
Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Are you switching on the chassis first or the PC? Please make sure that you switch ON chassis and then boot the PC. This typically happens when you have a corrupted installation. I would suggest downloading the latest version of driver from here and re-installing it.
Please uninstall all the driver software from computer before installing the new software.

Airport Extreme base station not recognized anymore by Airport Utility software

Hello,
I just encountered the problem today.
I have old Airport Extreme base sation (mushroom design).Picture below.
I have iMac 24". About this Mac Picture below.
Obviously, Airport Utility has been updated recently and today my network is not valid anymore, as well as the mushroom is not managed by Aiport Utility softwrare anymore. The only way to get WiFi now is using my computer as an antenna via the sharing of internet trough its WiFi card: not satisfactory.
The message of the software led directly to this support community.
The picture with the base station icon says: "this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station. To know more, check the Sevice and Support Community."
I did reset the base station may times, without success. I can't rename the base sattion, i can't create rename my network, i can't set up password access, i can't use WiFi other than the default Airport Extreme network.
Since this is not my field of knowledge, would anyone come up with a brilliant solution other than .... :
"Did Apple just manage to make you buy a new Airport base station ?."
Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply and exlpanation.
I just downloaded the Aiport Utility 5.6.1 from Apple site. Unfortunately the OS X version is not compatible with this Airport Utility.
I don't have Time Machine neither.
Below is the message I got:
"Airport Utility cannot be installed on this hard drive. The Mac OS X version on this drive is not supported"
Is there something inbetween: a correction to Airport Utility 6.2 plug in that would accept my base station and compatible with my iMac ?.
Thank you for your attention.

Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?
