HP PRO DESK 400 GE MT

HI,
By this Hp Pro Desk 400G2MT, I got Windows 7 professional 64 bit Os,
but i need to Downgrade to Windows 7 Professional 32 bit ..
even the recovery disk what i received that one also with 64 bit software, is any other link which have 32 bit?
is this possible to get 32 bit software ??

Hi:
You will have to contact HP technical support to see if you can order a 32 bit recovery disk.
If you have a W7 product key sticker on the PC with the 25 character code, you may be able to download the version of W7 Pro 32 bit you need directly from the Microsoft Digital River links.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Then you can use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or 4 GB USB Flash drive. The tool will also make the media bootable.

Use the Windows product key on the PC's case to activate the installation.
HP does offer driver support for W7 32 bit.

How to transfer photos from a camera chip to my Mac Pro Desk Top?

Take the memory card out of the camera and insert it into a card reader then use Finder to copy the iomages over to a folder on the Mac desktop.
Basically the exact same way you would do it on any make or model computer.

HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 (M375nw & M475dn) - Driver packages will not install

Hello all,
I need some assistance with a very persistent and frustrating issue trying to get driver software packages for our LaserJet M375nw & M475dn to install correctly. We are running Windows 7 Pro x64 on HP 8300 desktop PCs.
We have these printers printing properly via our print server and the proper .inf driver but need the ability to scan to the PC. I would like to install the HP-provided software packages (which include the Scan driver & utility) but am running into the error below.
"A problem occurred while preparing to install software to your system. Please restart your computer, and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please check the product support web site for your product."
I get this error at 80% in the "preparing to install" process. I am using the latest drivers from the website for each of these models (which actually use the same package). I have tried both the Full and Basic driver package with the same results.
We have these printers installed via a static IP on the Network, not USB. I am trying to install as a Local Administrator. UAC is disabled. The PC is fully updated and doesn't have much in the way of custom software. It has SCCM client, MS SQL Native Client, Google Earth, Adobe, Trend Micro AV, OnBase, Office 2007 and Chrome installed.
Here are some of the things I've tried w/o success:
Tried installing with latest drivers from HP website
Ran all Windows updates
Ran the Scrubber uninstaller provided in the package / Running "uninstall" executable from HP software
Disabled all non-MS startup programs/services in msconfig, disabled Antivirus, rebooted, tried to again
Restarting computer (many, many times between different troubleshooting steps)
Tried disabling "Smart Install" (though I think this only applies to USB connections)
Checked print spooler - it indeed is started/running properly
Uninstalled all HP-branded software
Can any of you offer some help please? I'm not sure what to try next.
Some other posts I've looked at w/ no success are:

How do I get my Mac Book Pro desk top back to the right size?

My son was using my Mac Book Pro this morning and managed to enlarge both the desk top and any browser I use - Safari, Firefox etc. I am unable to get them back to the right size and have to keep shifting across to see what files I have etc. Can anyone give me advice on how to put it back to normal. I have tried looking at 'view options' and also in trackpad, mouse and keyboard in preferences but to no avail. Note that the files on the desk top are not smaller or bigger - it is the actual desktop which has increased in size and is no longer contained within the frame of the screen. Would be grateful for any help and thank you.

Did you try CONTROL and two finger drag on the trackpad?
Ciao.

New Mac Pro Firewire 400 solution !

I was surprised to see that my NEW Mac Pro (2009) does NOT have even a single FW 400 port. Everything is FW800. That doesn't help with my legacy camera and hard drive.
Another surprise is that Apple doesn't sell any kind of solution, (Except a 6 foot long cable) for this problem.
But, I have found this adapter available through Amazon:
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
If Amazon can sell this adapter, why can't Apple?
Cheers.

I picked that one up as well to plug my cinema display into. I wondered at first if it would cause any issues, but other then seeming to fit a little loose, it is okay so far.
I also heard another option (if available) is to plug the firewire into the back of an external drive. I don't know if this would be better or not.

Droid pro location 400 miles west of current location

Cannot figure out how to reset gps cannot use navigation or any locating service. any ideas?

Figured out that it has something to do with the network extender that i have in the house. although, it doesn't seem to affect my wifes droid pro. When i'm away from the house it works fine but while hear it is about 400 miles off. I believe it is using the network instead of the gps. Or the gps on the NE isn't working properly.

My Mac Pro Desk Top computer no longer can "see" my second display??

I've tried reversing the connections on the back of the MacPro but it still doesn't "see" the second display. I've had these two displays hooked up for years with no problems. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and I just had the MacPro in the Apple Store for a "One To One" transfer of data to my new MacBook Pro laptop. When I brought it back home it still worked fine. I then was cleaning up some stuff and I know I went into my "Users and Groups" panel in System Preferences and I did remove some items from the "Login Items" list that open automatically so maybe that is the problem?? I know the second display is getting power and recognizes it's connection to the compuiter because when I disconnect it, it says, "no signal" and when I reconnect it, it just goes to sleep. Advice appreciated.

Some of the graphics cards that had two DVI connectors had one Dual-Link (suitable for all resolutions including wider than 1920 wide) and one Single-Link (suitable for resolutions up to 1920, but not wider). This does not appear to be your problem, since both are less than 1920 wide.
The "Drivers" business is a complete Red Herring (Not Applicable), as the Mac does not use Drivers for displays -- it uses a unified driver for the Display CARD, and customizes it based on the capabilities reported by the Display when connected. In order to get this to work, the display must correctly self-identify.
To verify that the display is correctly detected, look in:
About This Mac > ( More Info ) > Graphics and Displays ...
... a correctly self-identified display shows its Name and its maximum resolution. be skeptical, this information does not update when you plug/unplug the display, and you have to close and re-open this window (or possibly the entire program) to get the information to refresh after a change.
If either display provides a USB cord, it must be plugged in to complete the display connection and provide display ID and control (this is much more common with Apple displays that third-party displays).
Is there any evidence of trauma to the display connectors or cables? Any bent pins on the connectors?

Upgrading from Firewire 400 to 800 on Original Macbook Pro

Is it possible to upgrade my original Macbook Pro Firewire 400 port to an 800 port? And will it perform at 800 on the original Macbook Pro?
This is my situation:
I will be recording on a Canon HD VIXIA HF S10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder. You can record to an internal memory of 32GB or a 32GB removable SDHC card. The camcorder does not provide a Firewire port, only USB 2.0. I figure if I use the card to record on, I can then use a Firewire 800 card reader to transfer the large HD video file to the laptop, believing this would be considerably faster than the direct USB 2.0 from the camera (I could be wrong). I will edit the film and then save it to an external portable 800 Firewire hard drive for storage. I will be backpacking which means the weight, size, durability and speed all matter for this process. I am just trying to decide which setup is best for my camcorder, computer and external hard drives. Thanks.

FireWire 800 can potentially be much faster than USB 2.0. It is that way with hard disks for sure.
You cannot upgrade the port inside your machine. What you can do is get a FireWire 800 card like this one and stick it into your ExpressCard slot.

Want to upgrade running systems on mac... for mac pro desktop

I have a 2004 Mac Pro Desk top-- Spent a lot on it!!! Trying to figure out if I can get just a new running system for it and keep everything else-- I have the really large monitor-- but I can't load the newest os software on it...

I think that the vieo card needs to be replaced because the monitor keeps turning off when it gets too hot.. but I was trying to figure out if I could overhaul my system to speed it up and maximize it's functions... I was thinking 2004 but I think your right-- I believe it was around 2006 that I purchased it... but I don't want to spend that kind of money again and it still runs-- however, it is more the hub of the house-- and I wanted to use it for our central network with a timecapsule and extended 4 t hard drive running off of that for movies (I know overkill) but we just want to be able to stream the 380 movies we own to any tv in the house through aple tvs... I am trying to learn more about the running systems and found I can not upgrade to the most recent OS system per apple rep... so it is the onl mac not running on the upgraded system... Please be patient with me-- I am not up on the hardware part of things and I need to find that out before I have someone else look at it... But here is all I had in about this mac--

I don't know if this says anything-- but everything seems to be in slots and I was uncertain why things in those slots couldn't be upgraded or if they are all too interdependent to run together with a upgrade-- for example if I replace or add a processor if the drives would not be accesible because of incompatibility...
So I guess the question is how to upgrade and maximize what I have?

MAC PRO TO LGTV WITH WI-FI DIRECT. MAC SETTINGS?

My mac finds the TV but TV can't find Mac. What settings do I need on Mac and how do I set them.
I would like to connnect Mac to TV wirelessly.

Hi Sabretooth04,
Thank for the link to the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color User Guide. I have already downloaded the PDF of the User Guide and have it safely stored in the "Documents" folder on my main hard drive. I have made searches within the document looking for information about securing the wireless WiFi connection on the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color. I have not found the answer I was looking for.
You directed me to page 43 in the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color User Guide (document number c02663889). Unfortunetely those instructions are for installing a Windows wireless network. I do not have a Windows computer. I have an Apple iMac computer. I apologize for not being clear enough about the computer I'm using.
My Apple iMac shows me all the Wi-Fi networks that are within range of my Apple iMac. Most of the networks are password protected / secure / locked (meaning next to the name of the newtwork there is a padlock symbol) My HP 64 LaserJet 400 Color appears in the list of Wi-Fi networks and it is not secure or does not have a padlock symbol next to the name (HP 64 LaserJet 400 Color). This tells me that anyone within the range of the printer could wirelessly send a document to my printer to be printed. I don't kow why someone would want to do that but my experience is there are evil people that don't have anything better to do than cause disruption and mayhem and an unlocked printer is an invitation to send a 250 page document to my unsecured/not password protected/unlocked HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer and use up all my paper and towner.
So I do I secure my HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer with a password so someone cannot access the printer wirelessly and print a 250 page document when I'm not home?
Thank you.

Has anyone installed Mavericks on an older (circa 2006 or 2007) Mac Pro 1.1 ?

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on an older Mac Pro desk top.
Needing to upgrade Adobe Lightroom 3 to LR 5 and it requires OS 10.7 or higher.
Apple's specs for Mavericks call for a Mac Pro 2008 or newer.
Has anyone successfully installed Mavericks on an older Mac Pro?

Yah. But just try booting a MacOS volume that you have forgotten to install the driver in. Yikes!
I will be installing Snow Leopard on Friday. That won't be a sensible thing for anyone to attempt if a GTX-285 is fitted in the computer.
I have taken the precaution of reinstalling my 8800GT to permit a trouble-free Snow install.
If I knew Snow will install a GTX-200 series driver there would have been no need to do this. But I have no indication that Apple's new OS will support the new card. I hope it does.
Even if it does, the latest EVGA/nVidia driver for the MacOS is awful, nothing like the WindowsXP driver's superb performance. I do a lot with 3D entertainment, games and Second Life. Using those with the GTX-285 in the MacOS is torture. MacOSX drivers for both the 8800GT and the GTX-285 are terrible when running Second Life in comparison to Windows versions on both those cards.
Currently, the 8800GT is a far better card than the GTX-285 is in 10.5.8 for Second Life.
Will Snow address those driver concerns? We'll know soon enough.

Hi everyone,I am new to this so please forgive me any mistakes I may make.Early 2008 Mac Pro desktop installed ML ok but next day nothing, reinstall ok restart same problem ML installer remains on my snow leopard disk. Any help appreciated.Kind regards

There I go first mistake straight off. I was wondering how to fit my big long problem in. My fault I am sure but if anyone can help please.
Early 2008 Mac Pro Desk Top, 2 hard drives 1)snow leopard, 2)lion.
I have downloaded Mountain Lion usuing disk 1,selected no.2 as my destination, installed ok everything fine, set my startup as no.2 in preferences, switch off. Next day start up - nothing, my only way to get moving was physcally remove disk 2, and let snow leopard restart.
Reinstalled, everything fine, then same problem on restart next day, remove disk,and so on.
The mountain Lion installer remains in the snow leopard dock.
I know the problem is me, so if anyone is kind enough to be able to offer a solution it needs to be in easy speak (press button a, press button b) because I am not that savvy.
my best regards to all, and thank you.

Where did you get Mountain Lion? Did you download the 4+ GB file from the App Store? If so, then I would try doing the following:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your second drive on which Lion is installed (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Install Mountain Lion
Double-click on the Mountain Lion Installer application in your Applications folder. Follow instructions to install Mountain Lion on your old Lion drive - Drive 2. When the installer finally finishes it will restart the computer automatically from Drive 2. At this point there is no need to change the Startup Disk unless you want to boot from your Snow Leopard drive.
You will startup to the Setup Assistant in which you will configure your own admin account. You can, if you want, omit that part and instead choose to migrate your Home folder and other data from the Snow Leopard drive. I would recommend you do that unless you wish to do it manually at a later time. In this case create your new admin account using the exact same username and password that you now use on your Snow Leopard system.

Acrobat XI Pro download message: Akamai - what to do next?

I just bought Acrobat XI Pro for $400, but when I went to download,
it says, "Akamai Download Manager 580.16 MB". So I downloaded this
and it looks as though I never received Acrobat. Where do I find Acrobat?

Hi HMSchuldt
Akamai is the download manager which manages to download your application from Adobe. By default it downloads the application in your download folder if you haven't change the default location. The setup usually is in zipped/compressed format and Akamai also plays the role extracting that setup and initiating the installation till that installation wizard needs user interaction, if your setup has been downloaded succesfully without any problems.
