Install a nic card? and a sound card?

I am a pc user and have recently aquired a power mac g4. It seems the network card and audio card (onboard) are both not working. I know you can install pci cards to pcs for such purposes, but I do not know about macs. So I want to know if it is possible to install these cards, if so how do you install these cards in the mac.
I know with Win XP when new hardware is installed it finds it immediately and you either install the driver or it does it for you. How do you add hardware in a mac? Any help is appreciated because before I buy a new mac I want to learn how to use this one. Thank you!!

Hi,
Too bad about your sound and onboard Nic. Can I ask how you know they are both bad? Seems like a lot to be wrong with a single mac, they are part of the motherboard and difficult to break.
Anyway, you can use a NIC card like this:

You can plug this into a USB port and then plug speakers into it.

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

Both Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and Integrated Sound Card Does Not W

Hi! I just installed a new mother board and cpu. Its an ECS 755-A2 mother board with a 3200+ AMD Sempron/64-bit CPU. It's not the best, but i was trying to save money.Before, I had a soyo and a 2800+ AMD Athlon XP and i had the Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Now with this ECS mb, the sound card doesn't get detected anymore, even in device manager. I downloaded the new driver for the Sound Blaster Li've 5. from their official website and when I came to install it... it said that there were no Sound Blaster cards detected on my computer even though it was securely pushed in IN a pci slot!!Then I decided that I don't need sound blaster so i installed the driver for the integrated sound card on my mb (realtek AC-97) and everything LOOKS fine according to their program and the control panel (sound and audio options) but i dont receive any sound from anything at all. I was planning on buying a NEW sound card but then i decided to test this Sound Blaster Li've 5. on my bro's computer. Ironically, it was detected on his .2 ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and now i'm puzzled as why it wasn't detected on mine.What solutions have I tried?I installed numerous drivers for both the sound blaster and the integrated sound card repeatedly and there wasn't any hope. I re-installed the OS twice (I'm willing to do a third though)I don't know what else I can try.. can anyone help and please don't say the mother board :[?Specs:3200+ AMD Sempron/64-Bit CPU (2.2 ghz)ECS Elite Group 755-A2 Motherboard52 DDR RamGeforce 4 Ti4200 Video Card

If you had change the motherboard then I suggest you format your harddisk and start from a fresh install of the OS and not just reinstall the OS.

HT201304 I have been trying for two weeks to log into iTunes using my Bank of America Visa Debit card but no progress. Is it that iTunes does not use debit card, I only have a debit card and Not credit card, so does it mean I can't use iTunes .?

I believe if you haven't already setup an itunes account, if you have access to computer with iTunes installed , you can create an iTunes account on that computer with no credit/debit card and then just buy iTunes cards at your local retailer to get credits.

PO from SO via DI API:Base document card and target document card do not ..

HI All,
I am trying to create Purchase Order from Sales Order. This is possible by GUI (on Sales Order on logistics tabs Click On Purcase Orders CheckBox.
I got the error message: -5002-Base document card and target document card do not match.
The message itself can be understandable, because the Customer and Supplier has a different CardCode.
I am sure I am using a correct code
oPo.Lines.BaseType = BoObjectTypes.oOrders
oPo.Lines.BaseEntry = sDocEntry
oPo.Lines.BaseLine = iLineNum
Where oPo is a Purchase Order document.
sDocEntry is a Sales Order docentry and iLineNum is a Line number of Sales Order
For other A/R to A/R and A/P to A/P documents are working fine.
Has anybody found this error or has anybody created application like this?
I am using sbo2007PL46
Regards,
J.

HT3702 Is it possible to have one credit card and two debit cards on my itunes account so that we can use different cards for different purchases?

Is it possible to have a number of cards (say one credit card and two debit cards) to be listed as the payment cards for my itunes account, so that different cards can be used for different purchases? Or can you only have one card registered on itunes at any one time?

So is there any way that three members of a family can share one itunes account but pay for their own purchases, other than inputting their own cards each time they make a purchase.
No, there is no way to do that.
Or if we all have our own individual itune accounts, can we share each other's music, or can you only sync your iphone/ipad/mac, with one itune account at a time?
You can sync content from up to five iTunes Store accounts to any given computer or device. You just will each have to copy the content into your own libraries so you can sync to your devices and have your devices authorized to all applicable accounts.
Regards.

My daughter added songs with her I Tunes Card and My credit card was charged, what do I do?

My daughter added songs with her I tunes card and my credit card was charged, how do I get it off my credit card?

What process did your daughter use, there is a specific format to redeem an iTunes gift card. The gift card must be redeemed using the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store in iTunes on a computer or the Redeem button at the bottom of both the iTunes and App Store apps in iOS. Redeeming the gift card then applies the value of the card as an available credit to the user's iTunes account. The credit is used first before any bank card also stored in the account. If the purchases use the entire credit and there is an additional balance due, it will be charged to any bank card stored in the account.

Please help! -5002,Base document card and target document card do not match

Hi
When I try to save an invoice with a payment thro' the DI API I get the following error :
-5002,Base document card and target document card do not match
Why am I getting this error and how can I solce it?
Thanks

Hi,
For the sake of anyone else who has this problem:
After much searching for the answer to why I was getting this message I found that the internal validation must be case sensitive and so 'C00417' on the receipt was not matching 'c00417' on the invoice.

Base document card and target document card do not match

I ran into this error "Base document card and target document card do not match" while uploading Outgoing Payments too AP Invoices.
The CardCode of the Invoice matches the CardCode of the Payment so it's not that issue. I can't seem to fix this error.
Any input would be helpful.
Here's screenshots too

Broken sound card, Can i install a pci card and get sound

I fried my internal sound card plugging up my mixer through my headphone jack. I have a mirror door, dual 1 ghz prossesors. Can i just install a m-audio pci card and get my sound back. i hope so. thanks.

The answer is yes, though there seems to be very few Mac compatible sound cards. This is probably because Macs always came with sound built in. The exceptions are the Xserve which have no sound section. I have a dual 1.33GHz G4 Xserve that I have fitted with a M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI card. This works well but is expensive new (I got mine used). My only complaint (as a general purpose sound card) you have to use the M-Audio app to change the volume - the normal volume controls don't work.
MUCH cheaper is the USB sound card option. I also have a Griffin iMic on my work Mac and this is plugged into my keyboard usb slot. That means I can conveniently plug my headphones in with just a short cord. Works great, sounds great, and works with the standard volume controls.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

EMU-1212m and another sound card

Can an sudio interface like EMU-1212m and another SB sound card be used on the same system by switching from one to the other?

neutron wrote:
Thanks. My present configuration is a 2ZS Platinum Pro. I just received an X-Fi Elite Pro which isn't installed yet.
I'm still considering the EMU-1212m and was hoping to be able to use it along with the Elite Pro but based on what you say this isn't possible.
Can I have both the 2ZS Plat Pro and Elite Pro cards at the same time? Or should I fully uninstall th 2ZS first?
I can't be sure if 2zs and original X-Fi can work side by side since, the issue may come from drivers ... both models (and E-MU DSP card models as well) has driverfiles with equal names (file names). If you aren't expertienced asm -programmer, you can't change this the way that those driver file names would be different.
So, if the X-Fi DSP is backwards compatible then there shouldn't be issues to get 2zs/EP combination working (IIRC, in this case, just install the EP drivers/software over 2zs).

FW800 and FW sound card no longer working. Mmmmm

My iMac has just stopped working with my firewire Edirol FA66 sound card. It has worked for years but now the iMac refuses to see it. I spoke to Apple Care this morning who ran me through a few things but didn't help. Having said that, my FW800 Sandisk card reader DOES work OK.
To through a spanner in the works, the sound card works fine with my MBP with the same lead and the same 10.8.4 OS.
A second call to AC this afternoon, after checking my MBP worked OK, was a wasted call. Sadly he didn't have a clue and kept pointing me in the direction of divers... for WINDOWS!!!
Anyway, I'm confused.com. Please can anyone help me?
