Help need help with drivers etc...had to replace motherboard in my m9517c

I had to replace my motherboard in my M9517C and as a result had to reload windows. Now the computer does not know it is an HP computer so I cant load any of the software for the DVD drive, media smart etc. The motherboard was not available anymore so I didnt have a choice but to get an Asus motherboard that was not from HP. How can I get around this issue or can I?

Hi,
As MediaSmart and other HP software checks the bios for a tattoo ( which you won't have on the bios chip of your new Motherboard ) before it will install, there is probably no way to get around this.
Best wishes and a happy new year,

Need help with Raid 1 hard-drive replacement

Hello All - I hope someone can help with this.
I have a Raid 1 set-up using two 1Tb external drives (1 Seagate and 1 Lacie) which has been working perfectly - until yesterday that is. I received an error message saying the Raid 1 Set was degraded. On checking I got an error message against the Lacie HDD 'Disk failure'. Following instructions i found on Apple Support i tried to replace the failed drive with a new 1Tb drive - but then got an error message saying that the new drive was too small - on checking the original Seagate Drive reads as 999.86 Gb with the new Drive reading 999.83 Gb. I presume this is to do with formatting of the 2 drives, although one would assume (perhaps naively that as both drives are 1Tb they would be the same size when formatted!!
In light of this I ran 'verify disk' on the Raid 1 Set and this was ok and I am now attempting to rebuild the failed Lacie drive - 10 hours still to go. However even if this works I would want to replace this disk as it is quite old now. The Raid 1 Set is backed up to Time Machine on a separate HDD.
Can anyone suggest a way forward for me to swap out the old drive and replace it with the new drive that I have purchased - I can't see how exchanging this for another make would be any guarantee that the disk would be the same size? I understand that I can't replace the failed drive with a larger drive. The only other way I can see of proceeding is to buy a second new disk (same as I got today) and create a new Raid 1 set and copy everything across.
Thanks in Advance

For an external hard disk drive or other (different) system shared
storage devices to work, they probably should be formatted in a
format seen by both operating systems.
If the WD unit is not seen by Windows computers on your network,
the WD may have been formatted in HFS+ for the Macintosh. That
is OK unless you need a Windows computer to access the same.
The Macintosh can see and use a standard Windows disc format;
so the external drive may need to be reformatted away from HFS+
if that is really what is going on (and archive any data on the suspect
drive elsewhere, since it will be lost to reformatting overwrites)
and then both Mac OS X and Windows should see the files on there.
And Macs set up to run Windows may also see the non-Mac format;
without having to re-boot via BootCamp, if that option is in use.
As to the other question(s) I really have no idea at this point in time.
And since that may be the rub, hopefully someone will follow up here.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

Hi Wouz,
I am sorry that the windows 7 drivers are not fully released yet but we have some beta version of drivers. Please check if you can find what you need here. However, it does not cover all of Lenovo products as yet. Lenovo has a large amount of product models to support. Please bear with us and we shall release the drivers soon after the Windows 7 launch in 22nd Oct 2009.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Best regards,

budfroggy,
The Nvidia LAN is included with the NF3 motherboard driver:
I would rec 5.10, since there are some having LAN problems with the later 5.11.

Help with Drivers for HP dv8315nr for Windows Vista 64bit

Hi everyone! In 2007 i bought a laptop a HP Pavilion dv8315nr with the hope that the stickers in his keyboard saying "Vista Compatible" was true and the promise of that the AMD Turion processor can handle a 64bit OS. Today i realize that was not entirely true, because i got the Windows Vista ultimate for 64bits and the processor can handle this OS but i see that in the HP site don't provide any support for the drivers, so i get the problem that i don't have audio in my laptop and the modem adapter doesn't work either.
My question is can anybody help me with the audio driver for the HPdv8315nr for windows vista 64bit, that's my priority.
I appreciate the attention for this manner. Thank you

I have the same problem with my Photosmart 7350's--I have two. I cannot get either to work with the New Mac Pro driver--Gutenprint .... I got the new drivers from Apple for HP but they fixed nothing. I even downloaded the newer drivers from HP, but their Printer Assistant does not seem to be working. I downloaded it twice. I can get a test page to print a few lines but the rest of the page is blank. When I try to print with either Pages or Word I get either nothing or trash.
My computer is the New Mac Pro 2.8 8-core with OS X 10.5.4.
These printers work with my Windows machine and I have read where they work with the Mac OS X. Can someone help. The link for printing trouble shooting did not help. My guess is the driver but I cannot get one do show up even after the HP download.
thank dr_lynch

Help with Drivers for Ethernet Controller (on a T42)

When I go to my Device Manager .. i see this category called 'Other Devices' .. under which I see:

I can't seem to locate the right drivers for my T42.
I was able to find my PNP Device ID for this and it says:

Help with pico /etc/profile

I have redhat 7.3 and i install the sdk. Its in usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin
Where exactly do I put the line path so every user can use the java/javac etc commands anywhere. I tried. but it dont work. Im I clicked on save settings, but im not sure that saves it. I was trying to follow the other thread instructions but everyone seems kinda different. Im very new to linux by the way. Think i installed it by accident :P

# System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc
pathmunge () {
if ! echo $PATH | /bin/egrep -q "(^|:)$1($|:)" ; then

It seems to me that when ".plist" files contain references to other files or folders, most require full paths and they won't accept anything to represent a generic "home". Either that, or items are represented by "alias" data, referring to a specific file, which would be completely independent of paths. That of course means that any sort of "template" account must avoid containing references to items within the "home" folder because the template will contain references to the original items, not their counterparts in the new user's home. Note that things like the "sidebar" in a regular account or the "Dock" in a "Simple Finder" do contain shortcuts to items within the "home" folder, but these aren't generated from ".plist" files in the template but rather are generated on the fly by "Finder" during login.
In the case of the default download location for "Safari", I think it defaults to the user's "Desktop" in the absence of a ".plist" file. However, if the user changes the location, then a ".plist" file is created at that point. It would also appear that the default download location is set to the user's "Desktop" if the default Safari "home page" is changed, which also causes the same file to be created. The file appears to be: "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist"
I haven't tested this to see if it would work, but it might be possible to modify your existing template to remove the reference to the "download folder" while retaining the desired Safari "home page" using something along these lines:<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">sudo defaults delete /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfigpriv DownloadFolder</pre>

Help with opening up iBook to replace HD

Hi all,
I purchased an iBook G3 500/15GB/128MB (late 2001) on eBay a couple of months ago. Although I have an iMac I use as my main computer, I thought it worthwhile upgrading the HD & RAM of the iBook (as well as installing an AirPort card) just to make it a bit more useful. I could see that replacing the HD might be tricky, but as I already managed to replace the HD & RAM of my G3 iMac I thought this would not be too difficult with the right instructions.
Yesterday, I finally got around to beginning "the operation" with all my tools ready & both the PBFixIt.com guide & the Apple service manual open on my iMac. I have managed to remove the lower case without too much drama, but I am now stuck on the screws on the upper case. They all seem to be so tightly screwed in! - well most of them, I managed to remove about 4 so far. I keep trying them from time to time whenever I am home, with no luck.
Can some of you more seasoned iBook upgraders/repairers give me some tips? Even just suggestions for good screwdrivers, if that seemed to make a difference... Having got this far I'd hate to give up now...
Thanks in advance!
iBook G3 500 (Late 2001) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks to both of you for your encouragement. Ronda guessed right, I was using a rather cheap'n'nasty #0 screwdriver plus a $2 set of precision tools. I paid a visit to a more specialised electronics store this afternoon & invested in an insulated screwdriver (I don't need the 1000 volts protection, but the rubber handle was a lot easier to grip) and also "Screwdriver Helper", a liquid that looks like drops of a nail file and apparently helps to increase the torque of screwdrivers.
Armed with my new tools I was able to get off one nasty screw that had frustrated me for about an hour in just a few seconds... and so on with most of the others. Despite all this, I actually managed to grind out the head of one of the crucial screws on the top case, under the keyboard, and it looked like there was nothing I could do to get it out... :-/
If you are faint-hearted when it comes to opening up computers you might not want to read further...
I could prise up enough of the corner of the top case & shield to see where the hard drive was. So, I managed to unscrew & untape the shield in that corner & lift out & unplug the HD with the top case precariously pried up. What can I say, I'm stubborn & I hate getting other people in to fix something I feel I should be able to do myself. Anyway, to my surprise I was able to slide in the old HD & plug in the new one with less difficulty than I expected (but it would have been much, much easier if I'd had the whole top case off entirely instead of having to prise it open.)
I put it all back together a lot easier than getting it apart, thanks to keeping my screws organised. I think I may have to have another go at getting the bottom case on better - I couldn't get the two long torx screws under the feet to go back in straight, so I left them off, and it's slightly out of alignment with the top case round the back where the display hinge is. But it's late & I really wanted to see whether the whole thing was still actually working or not...
I was very anxious when I plugged in the power cable & pressed the power button! But pleasantly surprised when the iBook booted from the external firewire HD with no problems, & once I logged in Finder complained that it couldn't recognise the 74.5 GB disk I'd "inserted" - the new HD.
Of course, time will tell whether or not I was completely successful. But right now Carbon Copy Cloner is copying all my old HD's contents over with no apparent problems...

Help with Crossfire on the KA92 Platinum Motherboard

I am still working out other issues with my system, but from day one, when everything was perfect, I wasn't able to setup crossfire. Both video cards are new and the same, (2600XT MSI Radeon 512MB GDD4), and both cards are recognized under device manager. I have downloaded the newest drivers and Cataylst Control Console, yet the option tab for Crossfire is not showing. I have both crossfire cables hooked up, and have the cards in PCI-E slots 1 and 3 (both dark blue) on the motherboard. The cards will not physically fit in slots 1 & 2. The heatsinks are just way to large. Any ideas or tips would be helpful. Once I get my new board, this is my next issue. MOBO bios ver. 1.3. Thanks, Todd.
