GPU driver update from AMD website? (G570)

Got a G570 with HD 6370M & Intel HD Graphics 3000 (switchable graphics).
I'm having some bad graphics performance since the driver offered by Lenovo is outdated, and I want to update my AMD drivers. Can I download the latest one from this website without crashing anything and having to reinstall my OS afterwards?
Or maybe could I use this tutorial for my laptop as well? 
Please help me, thank you.

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software.  I hide the updates until I need them.  Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os.  I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work.  First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark.  If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

  • Driver updates from vendors or Apple?

    Hello!  quick question... I am running bootcamp 4, and Win7 is alerting me there is a newer driver available for the video card on my MBPr.  Is it reccomended to only use the "Windows Support" download file from apple when updating windows drivers?  Or can a user safely utilize a vendor-direct driver update?
    Thanks
    Craig

    The graphic card driver that Boot Camp includes is very old, and it's recommended to use the driver that the vendor provides, in your case, from NVIDIA. You can get the most recent NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website > http://www.nvidia.com This is important in order to get the maximum performance of your graphic card

  • Can't print since last epson driver update from Software Update

    I have a Epson Workforce 600 connected wirelessly which was working just fine until I installed the driver update yesterday which was provided via Software Update. Now, I can print a test page via the Epson Software and my computer can see the printer but when I hit the "print" button on print dialogs, nothing happens. It's very strange, it seems as if the click isn't even recognized.
    I've tried printing from multiple programs and it's all the same. Only printing a test page from the Epson software works at this point. Any suggestions?

    The probable cause of this is that the /Library/Caches/Epson folder is missing.
    There are several threads here about this issue with Epson printers: try deleting the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and then reinstalling the software through Software Update or from the Apple download site. After installing the software, restart, delete and re-add the printer. That should recreate the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and you should be able to print.
    hope this helps.

  • Is it safe to download adobe flash drive update from the internet (came via a notice from Adobe)

    Is it safe to download an update from Adobe Flash Drive via the internet? A message from Adobe has popped up on a number of videos I'm trying to access.

    If you are sure it is from Adobe, yes.
    If you have the least little bit of doubt then go to the Adobe site yourself and download from their site and then install it.

  • WELL, WHAT DO WE DO NOW  ??? you answered me !! The problem is across all actions on the display on screen . No matter what I do. I tried getting driver updates from INTeL but even if I tell them it is a Mac the system sends me Drivers for Windows..

    well I'm sure this MacBook Pro 13' (right outa the box) needs driver updates. Is it a retina version ?? I don't know..?? but before I take it back. I want to try everything.

    MacOS X should already include the correct drivers as part of the OS. Figure it out: they built the MacBook Pro and they built the operating system...  they knew what they would be working with.
    Mavericks is brand new and may have the odd fault, but if you're having basic display problems with a new machine it's probably hardware. Take your machine to a Mac Store. This is why they have warranties.
    ps: using very large and/or bold characters is equated with shouting and is considered rude. plain old font works best.
    p.s.s.: You posted in the Mac Pro forum (for the big workstation systems) not the MacBook Pro forum (for laptops.)

  • Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

    I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S.  EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer.  I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again.  Now I could print from  Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc.  So, the problem still persists.
    Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
    Should I upgrade the whole system software?  (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
    Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
    Any help here would be apprciated.
    Thanks  - Rob

  • Help! how to apply Seagate hard-drive update from DVD drive on G4 Powermac

    Short version of story:
    Just put Sonnet PCI SATA card in G4 Digital Audio Powermac running Tiger. Have replaced two IDE drives with *Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1 TB hard drive*. It's recognized and working fine. EXCEPT: this is the now infamous drive ST31000340AS that WILL most certainly fail if it does not get the firmware update that Seagate has made available. (These drives are failing like crazy-- Google for info, do not buy!) I have the firmware update on CD as an ISO file (of course Seagate makes nothing that it Mac friendly but this has worked for other Mac users). But when I try to flash the firmware by starting from the CD ("C" key held down), nothing happens. The G4 just goes ahead and starts Tiger 10.4.11. I have also tried holding down "O + F + option + control on start up. I'm not getting anywhere.
    Since the drive is functional and it's the only drive in the G4, what am I doing wrong? Help!

    I just got off the phone with Seagate who say that while my model numbers are the affected drives, my two drives have serial numbers that do NOT need a firmware update. (Yet!)
    However, I'm not feeling very lucky. I took these two drives from my Maxtor One Touch III 2 TB external hard-drive because it was failing intermittently-- "now you see me, now you don't." Not very good for a backup drive! But Maxtor/Seagate is providing nothing for Maxtor One Touch III owners under warranty but another refurbished (as in previously failed) Maxtor One Touch III and asking hundreds of dollar$ for data recovery. There is not even a firmware update at this point. People should be avoiding Seagate Barracuda drives (these used to be the best of the best, but not now) or at least researching them *very thoroughly* before buying.
    I guess, the good news is that I don't have to struggle with getting a firmware update to work on my PowerMac. Though thanks to you both I will know what to do if these drives eventually do need a firmware update. The other good news is that I got all my data back by pulling the drives from their enclosure which apparently causes overheating. I violated my warranty, pulled the drives, and got all my data back.
    At the moment both of my Barracuda drives are happily purring away in my PowerMac G4 giving that old baby 2 Tb to play with. (I use iPartition so getting the drives recognized on the G4 isn't a problem.) And since I have my new iMac 3.06ghz 24" with all my data backup on WD external drives, I will only use the G4 networked for extra storage (backup for my backup). (I am also using Disk Warrior and Data Rescue II to keep an eye on these drives.)
    Thanks again for the advice.

  • Install optional driver updates from Windows Update for IdeaPad Yoga 13?

    Windows Update on IdeaPad Yoga 13 - Windows 8.1 (64-bit) suggests two optional updates:
    Conexant - Audio Device - Conexant SmartAudio HD
    10.01.2014
    Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
    Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 software update released in May, 2014
    04.06.2014
    Should I install those updates or should I keep the original drivers?
    The original drivers from Lenovo "Drivers and software" section (http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590) seem to be older/outdated:
    Conexant Audio Driver for 64-bit Windows 
    8.65.3.53 10/22/2013
    Integrated Graphics Driver for 64-bit Windows
    Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

    Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
    10.18.10.3282 10/22/2013

    Windows Update has now another update for "Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1" and still no updates on the Lenovo site.
    So I tried the the drivers from Windows Update and it seems that every thing is still working fine.

  • Safe to downaload Realtek driver updates from Realtek or should I stick to HP updates only?

    So I have an HP-083uk - specs are here:- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01946060&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&site=null&lang=en&p...
    HP seem to have stopped updating the audio drivers for this a while ago, while I see Realtek keep updating drivers regularly.
    Is it safe to install Realtek drivers or should I stick to HP drivers or should I look to MSI (my mobo manufacturer) for audio drivers?

    Hi:
    You should be fine using the Realtek drivers from their site. I use them all the time, and recommend to others to use them when they have issues--especially pertaining to audio issues post upgrading to Windows 7.
    This is the driver page you need to get the drivers for your PC from Realtek.  Accept the agreement, download and install the driver for your OS.

    Depending on your iPod model and iOS you can also update "Over the Air" by going into Settings/General/Software update. You'll need a Wi-Fi connection to do this and your iPod has to be connected to the adapter.

  • Intel HD Graphics Driver Update

    I have an HP Pavillion g7 Notebook with Radeon HD 6470M graphics. I was prompted to udate the graphics driver through HP assistant. I have downloaded it 3 times and each time it will not install. When it gets to the install part it gives me a warning that my internet security is shut off and then gives me an installation failure. If I go to the AMD website to get the update it says I have to do it through the manufacturer of my laptop. Anyone know why I cannot install this update?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    You should ignore any Microsoft updates or ANY update (from HP, Microsoft or AMD) for the Intel video in your PC.
    The only driver you can install in your notebook is the AMD driver from your notebook's support and driver page, which also installs the Intel video driver.
    The problem is happening because these auto updates don't know that you have switchable graphics and it is detecting an older version of the Intel video driver and wants to install a newer version.
    The problem is the AMD driver on your PC's support and driver page only supports the older Intel video driver and trying to install it will either not work or will mess up your video.
    Nor can you use any driver directly from AMD. None of those have the Intel driver needed for the switchable graphics to work.
    So, you can hide the update, ignore the update, whatever setting you need to select to not see or install it.
    If you see an HP update specifically for the AMD/Intel switchable graphics in your notebook, you can install that.
