How to install USB card in Mac OS 8.6?

Recently, i buy a new printer. the printer only can use USB connection. My MAC is MAC 8500/1800. It is no USB port. i added a USB card. But it is not work. I find information on internet. It need installed a software(USBSupport1.4.1smi.bin). I downloaded the software. But it can not open. i hope some people can help to solve the problem.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello tytom2003,
Welcome, and Happy New Year!
First, make sure your printer and USB card are Mac compatible.
Second, you will probably have to re-install your Operating System in order for your Mac to "see" your USB card. You cannot install the proper USB and USB support extensions by downloading them, because your Operating System will not "see" them, will not recognise them.
You should perform a "clean reinstall" (also known as "archive and install") from your original installation CD - or from a retail, full install CD, with the USB card installed in its PCI slot. Your Mac will now automatically "see" or recognise the USB card, and will see the need to install the USB extensions.
By doing a "clean install", you will have a newly installed System Folder and the old, disabled 'Previous System Folder' next to it. You will not lose anything, as all your old applications and documents will be saved in the 'Previous System Folder' where you may retrieve them and drag them over to your new System Folder.
I assume you are running OS 8.6, but it doesn't really matter. The OS CD will install the correct USB extensions. (An OS9 CD might install 1.4.6 extensions - whatever it installs should work).
I did not have your exact model, but rather a 7300 and several beige G3s, but the procedure is all the same.
It is also possible to do a 'Custom Install' or install by 'Tome Viewer' utility.
Let us know if it works.
I hope to have been of some help. It will have been an honour.

I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

How to install windows on a mac

hi,
I was wondering if anyone has an easy guide on how to install windows on a mac. I purchased a external hard drive to make it easier but still absolutely no clue on how to do this. At college some software isn't compatible with mac so i need to install windows aswel. Any help would be great as not very good with this at all and bootcam

An external drive is not necessary. There are several options.
One is Parallels
Second is VMware
Third. Partition the hard drive using Boot Camp
Boot Camp Assistant is pre installed on your Mac in your Applications > Utilities folder.
If you use Boot Camp, you will need to purchase a Windows install disc.

Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

How to install lan card in solaris 11

Hi,
can some one please tell me how to install lan card in solaris nevada snv_55b X86, 5.11
When i do ifconfig -a it only displays loop back driver only
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
The other driver was missing can please some one tell me how to install that?

Well, the lan card has to be one that is supported by Solaris and you need to have the proper driver installed before you'll be able to get it running. A good starting point would be to look at the Solaris Hardware Compatability List (HCL) at:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/index.html
There is a blue box which says "Check out the X86 device list" which may be a good place to start. You won't be able to pick out Solaris version you're running for the OS type menu but if you can find the device anywhere you should at least be able to determine which driver it uses so you can check that against your system. If you don't have the driver package installed, you'll have to install it before you can see the device. If course, if the device isn't supported you're stuck. At least the HCL can help you select a new interface card which should work.

How to install hard drive into mac pro

how to install hard drive into mac pro

I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
For one, should I partition the drive?
My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

How to install windows 8 on mac

I just bought windows 8 pro and am trying to install in on my windows. I have previously installed windows 7 via bootcamp but just deleted the partition because I want to start over from scratch with windows 8. I understand bootcamp needs to be updated to bootcamp 5 but every time I try to use the assistant and download the windows update to my external hard drive it freezes halfway through. I'm confused as to what I should do now. I downloaded the bootcamp 5 drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents. I downloaded the first one,
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
I'm not sure how to install this or how it works exactly but there is a file in it called setup.exe but it requires a program to open it which i dont have. I have the unarchiver program but even that wont open the setup.exe. Is this the file I need and if so how do I go about updating bootcamp. I also found out that I have bootcamp Version 5.0.2 (462) but when I open the assistant the only option on there is "create a winows 7 or later version" I assumed I needed to update it because it says nothing about windows 8. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to save the folder you downloaded into a USB drive. Then, after installing Windows, connect it and open the setup.exe file, so you will install the Windows support software. Windows support software is needed to make your computer run properly in Windows.
When you open Boot Camp Assistant, how many options do you see and how are they named? It's possible that your Mac isn't officially compatible with Windows 8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

How to instal camera raw in mac

Hi, I'd be obliged if someone could advise me how to instal camera raw 8 into an imac.
many thanks

If you have Photoshop CS6 or higher, you already have Adobe Camera Raw 8. What you want is to update ACR to version 8.6. You can do that automatically through the Help > Updates menu item.
If you have a lower version of Photoshop, you cannot run any version of ACR 8.x.
If you don't have Photoshop at all, then you need to buy it first.
For the next time you post, please give explicit, detailed information:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

How to install windows on 2011 mac mini

how do I install windows 7 onto mac mini? I have read people say to copy windows onto a flashdrive. Then install from that. Question is do I use my iMac to copy windows install DVD to flashdrive, then plug flashdrive into my mac mini and finish install with bootcamp?

If you want, instead of using a USB drive with the Windows installer (and as you have Windows in a DVD and not in a ISO file), I recommend you to buy an external optical drive to use it to install Windows on the Mac mini. Any external optical drive will work.
If you need help installing Windows, print this file > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
