Installing driver - driver version

How can I check out what version of driver (USB peripherals - printer, scanner etc) I have installed?
Also, what happens if you install drivers twice? Does Leopard create duplicate files (suffix with _1 ) or does it simply overwrite old driver? Where are the USB peripheral driver file saved?
Thanks,
J

It should overwrite the old driver.
The version of the driver you have installed is typically in the System Profiler, or the configuration screen in System Preferences or the other program when launching it. System Profiler is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info.
System Preferences has a Print and Fax which lets you find out more about your printer driver.
What do you want to find out the driver version of that you have?

    I found information on how to transfer my itunes library to a new computer. I am going to use an external hard drive for this to transfer my itunes folder to the new computer.
    I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
    My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!
    Thanks for your help!

  • Cant install any driver for Hp NVidia gt230 on Touchsmart 600-1055

    Last few years I bought a HP Touchsmart oversea when I travelled to US then I brought it back to Australia. First couple months it was fine then one day I turned on the PC then It is just black screen after the window 7 boot screen then restart after few seconds. It keeps repeating that process unless I go to Safe mode and remove its NVidia driver and replace with window standard driver ( Video Controller VGA compatible) then I can boot up the window normally but cant use any program that require the delicated graphic card. I have tried hard to find its driver from every resources that I can find on the internet including Hp website and NVidia webiste but still again no luck. for 3 years I still cant find the driver for this that can make it working. What happened? is it my graphic card physically fault or because the software isusse? I forgot to mention that I even try to use the DVDs that I orders from HP USA and try to factory recovery but it is still having the same issue. I try to install many different version of window in cluding win 7 32&64 bits, Window 8 pro 64 bits then STILL NO LUCK. So could anyone please tell me what happened and how to fix it cause as I am aware that HP australia not support for HP USA product and I dont want to see my expensive desktop become a brick. 
    Thanks

    Hello Trung_Hau_Le,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you are having issues where you cannot use the higher end graphics card installed in your HP TouchSmart 600-1055 Desktop PC. The issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
    US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
    Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.
    Now just because you purchased the computer in Australia does not mean your warranty is not good in the US. I am providing you with a link to theHP Global Warranty and FAQs, which states the following:
    HP Global Warranty covers HP products at the level of standard warranty offered in the country in which it is used. For example, a product purchased in country "A" and moved to country "B" receives the current warranty coverage provided by country "B" (if that product is marketed or supported in country B)
    This means that your computer  receives the same treatment in the US as a computer sold in the US. I would recommend you contact HP Technical Support to have your issue addressed.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • I am trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. The dmg from Wacom downloadsand will opens, but when I try to install it the message "Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"

    iMac late 2009 3,06GHz Intel Core Duo; 500gb hard drive, 12gb memory. OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
    '“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.'
    I have been trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. There are several driver packages listed on the website (the device is supplied ready to run with Windows devices) and I have tried tried downloading all the available drivers which apply to my set-up. Some will not open at all and I get a 'Damaged' message on my screen. Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
    If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
    '“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
    I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

    There is no driver to install.  What you need to have on your computer to set up and maintain your iPad 2 is the most recent version of iTunes, which is a free download from Apple.   From this site, click on iTunes and download it......

    Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

  • Satellite C850-19Z - cannot install display driver

    Hi
    I have had to reinstall my Toshiba Satellite C850 - 19Z ----- PSCBWE - 02400NEN
    with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    The laptop uses Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz processor
    Everything has installed fine apart from the display driver.
    I downloaded the following file as my laptop is using an Intel Processor
    Intel Display Driver
    Version 8.15.10.2752
    display-20130924153144.zip4
    For model Satellite C850
    I found the file using the following drop down options on the Toshia website
    Satellite C850 PSCBWE Windows 7 64 Bit Display Driver United Kingdom English
    When I try to install the file I get the following error message:
    This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
    I have checked the requirements in the readme file. The three requirements are:
    1.
    3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processors
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 vPro(TM) processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 vPro(TM) processor
    I am not sure which generation my processor belongs to but i'm assuming it is one of the above since this is the driver for my specific laptop.
    2. The software should be installed on systems with at
    least 1 GB of system memory.
    I have 4 GB of RAM and my system is showing 4 GB is installed.
    3. There should be sufficient hard disk space in the <TEMP>
    directory on the system in order to install this
    software.
    I have 270 GB of free space in my primary hard drive / partition which windows is installed into. The file defaults to extract in this hard drive / partition.
    I cannot figure out what the problem is with this installation.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As you said, the notebook was equipped with the Intel Celeron processor B830
    This CPU supports the Intel HD graphic chip as mentioned on the Intel ARK page:
    http://ark.intel.com/de/products/71141
    The driver can be downloaded also from Intel page:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
    Here choose:
    -Graphics drivers
    -Laptop graphics drivers
    -Intel Celeron Processors with Intel HD graphics
    Here you can download an zip package.
    Then you will be able to update or install the driver within the device manager.
    You can use the Advanced installation which will help you to point to the unzipped driver folder

  • Need to install ODBC driver 9.2.0.6.5 to client but how?

    Greetings.
    I have client PC (Not including DataBase engine) and I want install ODBC-driver version 9.2.0.6.5 (I have reasons). PC is normal Win XP 32bit.

    It's *.jar file, so I need to run it via Installer -> NOK
    In Client PC I do not have this Oracle Installer, what I can to do?
    It's seems that ODBC-driver need installer version 2.3.0.5.0a or later...
    I will be very appreciate if someone can help.

  • How to move the photos from my boot drive to a newly installed hard drive?

    - regarding iPhoto's storage, etc.... Where is the iPhoto library located anyway? And - how to transfer it to the brand new hard drive?
    I want to add a ned hard drive just to keep the media there, so I would like to transfer all the GBs worth of photos (the whole iPhoto library or - what folder, really?).
    What do I need to do in order to accomplish this task?, and assuming that there is no problem moving all the photos (as I understand it would mean Originals, Modified & Data) - can I then just delete the original iPhoto Library (but from where?) somewhere on my boot drive?
    Basically - I want to move all the photos from my boot drive to the newly installed hard drive, and after a successful move, I'd like to delete all the same photos from its original location (the boot drive).

    One addition to Larry's steps: make sure the external drive is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and have it set to ignore ownership as seen here:
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Error 0x800f024b installing x86 driver on Windows Server 2008

    When attempting to install updated versions of my Lexmark Universal v2 PS3 x86 drivers on 2 of my Windows 2008 clustered print servers, I am receiving the following error screen:  "Unable to install Lexmark Universal Universal v2 PS3,
    Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver.  Operation could not be completed (error 0x800f024b)".  I have 55 other Windows Server 2008 file and print servers that I have not had any issues doing this upgrade to.  It only happens on my 2 clustered
    print servers.

    I believe the issue is not installing the driver in the spooler context but adding the driver to the driverstore.  On a cluster the driver is added remotely (yes even on the active node) and the addition to the driverstore also travels the remote install
    path.   There was some issue we fixed for Lexmark due to some long string or something in this context but I can't find the information. 
    Are you running Server 2008 or 2008R2?

    Hi kelsey,
    As Kaewngam indicates, Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8.  You can download 10.3 from the Archived Flash Player versions page, which was the last supported version for 10.5.8, however, most sites require a newer version of Flash Player to view content.  You may be able to upgrade to OS X 10.6 if your system qualifies. See here for system requirements, System requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 The 10.6 CD should be available on the Apple store ($19.99) . You can Google 'upgrading OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6' and it'll return loads of information.
