Help iMac looking for bootable drive
Started Boot Camp. Partitioned the drive. Inserted Windows 7 disk. Could not select partition because it was not formated. Quit windows 7 install. restarted iMac. I get "DOS" type screen the states "No Bootable Device -- -- insert boot disk and press any key.
Now what??? Is there a OS X boot disk that I can download. How do I get the iMac to boot to OS X again?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You were doing the Windows installation correctly. When Windows asks you for the partition to be installed, it will tell you that you can't install it in the BOOTCAMP partition, so you have to format this partition, and then, you will be able to install Windows.
Now, turn off the computer and turn it on. Then, hold the Option (Alt) key just after the startup sound, until you see all bootable volumes on the screen. Then, choose the Windows DVD and install Windows. If you need all the steps to install Windows 7 on your computer, follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R. Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro. Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-) Humbly, bowiej
Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
See this, there are some work around's in there;

Hi dad,
Drivers for Windows 7 are not available for this model. While considering the desire to provide the best possible support for Canon's current products, Canon must make decisions on which products to support when new operating systems are introduced.

I have a HP Pavilion p6331p Desktop PC, and I'm looking for a driver for the mouse that came with the PC.
Here are the details on the bottom side of the mouse:
M/N: N910U
RATING: 5V ...100mA
Class-1LED Product
HP P/N: 505062-001 Rev.A
HP S/N: {Removed for privacy}
KYE P/N: 31010563201
I have Win7 (64-bit)
The reason I'm requesting drivers for the mouse is: After a few months using the PC, one day I decided to install Ubuntu, so that I could dual-boot between Win7 and Ubuntu. I created a blank partition, and when I installed Ubuntu, I used Ubuntu to format the blank area, and instead it formated the entire drive, wiping off setup files that HP installed on the secondary partion.
Therefore, I had to buy Win7 and re-install the OS to the computer. Ever since, the wheel on the mouse has been irratic. This is why I am looking for the driver for the HP mouse. I have looked in the file section on HP's website, and cannot locate a driver. I have downloaded the other software that came with the computer.
Can someone please direct me to the driver software?you probably didnt make a partition ubuntu could recognize
windows makes a dynamic partition which only windows can recognize,so if you were going to install sometihng else,it wouldnt recognize the partition
use gparted to make basic partitions,
your question,
is your mouse the touchpad or a usb mouse ?

Hi,
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate a driver for your instrument. I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/ and with the instrument manufacturer. We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would s

An instrument driver is a collection of functions that implement the commands necessary to perform the instrument�s operations. In short, someone read the instrument user manual and implemented some of the functionality in a program for the end user. Instrument drivers are not necessary to use your instrument. They are merely time savers to help you develop your project so you do not need to study the manual before writing a program.
There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation. I would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.
Some useful resources for your application are
ni.com > NI Developer Zone > Development Library > Instrument Connectivity

Hope this helps!

Looking for labview driver to control Tennesy Chamber
Looking for Labview driver to control Tennesy Jr Environmental Chamber
(Watlow series 942 controller) LV6.0
Email [email protected] if you can help out.
Thanks,
David.The first place to look for stuff like this is the vendor's web page--in this case www.watlow.com. How did I know this? I guessed. You can typically guess 90% of company websites...
In a couple minutes I was able to find your controller and a document on how to communicate with it. If you email me I can send it to you (it's too big to post...).
Next, reading the document (which by the way contains a good basic primer on serial communications)I saw that one of the protocols you can use for communicating with the 942 is Modbus RTU. I can also send you a set of modbus drivers.
Hope this helps in thermal testing your chips...

ive fixed the start up!!!
just install the driver again and it uninstalls it!!
still no fallout tho "
The problem arose from my installing a 256 color fix for a Nvidia Card. Trying to run Fallout 1. Noticed that if you run the fix again you have an uninstall option. I am able to run the option but get a failure message in the end.
I got "fix" from:

New iMac looks for old Mac tower
I purchased a new iMac recently and used Migration Assistant to move my Documents folder over from my old G5 Tower. To the best of my memory, I did not use Migration Assistant to move system files or applications over to the iMac.
Once I thought I had everything configured just right, 3 things occured where the new iMac was looking for the old G5 Tower:
(1) at startup, a dialog twice appeared, indicating that the old G5 could not be found. I used the Accounts/Log In Items to disable start up items that were "unidentified." First problem solved.
(2) When I try to print, the iMac looks for my old G5 when I first try to access a pulldown menu in the print dialog window, and after quite awhile an alert message appears indicating that the G5 server is unavailable. I've tried deleting all installed printers and then reinstalling them, to no avail.
(3) In my folder windows, under the Places list, there is a favorite folder that is repeated twice, one that links to the "04_FT" folder on the new iMac, and an identically named item that does not function as a link (but a folder with this name did live on the old G5) and I'm unable to remove it from the list. When I Control click on it, the only option I get is to "Open Sidebar Preferences."
I suspect that both (2) and (3) are similar "ghost" references back to the old G5, but I don't know how to remove them.
I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions that the iMac community might have to offer.I would recommend starting over and instead of using Migration Assistant this time using Setup Assistant. They are cousins, similar but different. First SA is more reliable and second it will not create a second user account. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

IMac looks for networks while connected
I have a brand new iMac 21. It's connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme on a closed secure network. It connects fine, but when I click on the WiFi icon, the first line "WiFi: Looking for networks" is grayed out, but with a spinning gray circle on the far right. I can access the Internet and my network has a check mark by it, so why is the iMac looking for networks? Also, when the iMac wakes up from sleep mode, I get a window saying that it's looking for a network, even though I can see that it's already connected to my network. I checked the network preferences on my Macbook, and they're exactly the same as on the iMac, but the Macbook seems to know that it's connected. I checked the "ask to join new networks" box if that makes any difference. Any suggestions? Thanks.
If it is constantly searching for networks every five seconds or so, then it is the bluetooth - wifi problem discussed on other threads. I find that system preferences > network and clicking at the bottom on the 'Show wi-fi status in menu bar' button to switch it off, and then back onto the menu bar, solves the problem. Sometimes on waking I lose wi-fi completely and have to reload, but that's infrequent.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a solution soon. -

Canon MP280 Series
When you select print you should see a menu option labeled Printer Settings (or Printer Options). This may be hidden in 2 different ways. First, the program may have minimized the print dialog box. Look for a button labeled Show Details. If you see it you'll need to click on the button to see all the printer options that are available. Having done this you'll see more options. Typically you'd look for the Printer Settings under a popup menu labeled Layout but sometimes something else is showing. For example, below you'll see that Safari hides it under Safari.

Dead iMac, Looking for Options
My girlfriends 2001 iMac G3 died, and it would not be too much of a problem if it were not for all the photos on her hard drive.
I think i can get the hard drive out but I do not know if there is a specific size of hard drive enclose for the iMac's hard drive.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Also, is there any way I should store the hard drive after I take it out of the computer and before I put it in the enclosure.The iMac has standard IDE/ATA HD, so you can get almost any enclosure, and put it in there, and then recover your data. I like the Mercury Elite Pro enclosures from OWC found Here. One thing that you should look for when buying an enclosure if make sure it has the Oxford 911 chipset and not the more common - and less expensive Prolific chipset. The only think you should do whilst teh HD is out of the computer is to make sure it doesn't get wet and what not.

Looking for Labview driver for Agilent 4294A (HP)
Help!
I've been browsing the driver database looking for the Labview GPIB driver
for Agilent(formerly HP) 4294A Gain-Phase Analyzer.
Does anyone know where I can get it?Hello all,
NI is interested in developing LabVIEW and CVI drivers for the Agilent 4294A. I have been trying to obtain one of these units on loan from Agilent for the past couple of years with no success. If anyone can spare their 4294A for the duration of driver development or can influence Agilent to loan a 4294A, NI will write certified CVI and LabVIEW drivers for it.
