Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA finds, but won't configure

Okay, I know that the Intel Ether Express Pro/10+ PCI cards are supported by Sol 8/IA, and I am trying to use an ISA card... is there any way to make it work?
I have done an install with 'no network', done a sys-unconfig, done a reconfig boot -- all like the help instructions say to do if you have an unsupported NIC card, but I still cannot get it to work. It says that it fails to set the IP address (and yes, it is a unique IP).
Any suggestions as to how I can make this card work?
I have also tried 3Com 3C905B PCI and cannot get it to work either. I have no problems with the Intel card working in other O/Ses... but can't seem to get any O/S to like the 3Com card.
Ideas, suggestions, etc?
Thanks!

Try this workaround for this issue for 3com NIC card.
Step 1.
Create a file /etc/hostname.elxl0
Step 2.
Edit /etc/hostname.elxl0 file and add the hostname entry in to this file
Example:
osiris
Step 3.
Edit /etc/hosts file and add IP address and hostname entry in to this file.
129.158.230.190 osiris
Step 4
Reboot the system with reconfiguration option.
b -r
if it is not successful try for another workaroud.
Step 1. Insert the 3COM NIC card in to the system.
Step 2: prtconf -v | grep pci
Example:
prtconf -v shows:
pci8086,7112
pci8086,7113
pci8086,5345
pci10b7,1000 <- 3com
Step 3. In file /etc/driver_aliases, look for the driver that matched the
chipset
on the card. One of them is elxl for the 3com chipset.
Example:
/etc/driver_aliases:
elx "pci10b7,5900"
elx "pci10b7,5950"
elxl "pci10b7,9000"
elxl "pci10b7,9001"
elxl "pci10b7,9050"
elxl "pci10b7,9055"
elxl "pci10b7,9056"
elxl "pci10b7,9004"
elxl "pci10b7,9005"
elxl "pci10b7,9006"
add elxl "pci10b7,1000"
Step 4. Add the vendor/ID that the Plug-and-Play BIOS startup message displayed
for this card like this: elxl "pci10b7,1000" This will support
the NIC
in Solaris.
Step 5. Add the following lines to support the card in Device Configuration
Assistant:
Example:
pci10b7,1000 pci10b7,1000 net pci elxl.bef "3COM 3C980B TX"
Add the entries in /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file, under PCI
devices
section
Step 6. Run "devlinks".
Step 7. Reboot the system with b -r option.
Hope it helps.

Files in Finder but won't open

I made a disc image the other day using Carbon Copy Cloner and when I mount it, there are a bunch of files that list in the Finder just like they would normally, with appropriate file sizes and their icons in tact, but they won't open in their respective applications. Every file, like a quicktime for example, if you double click it will open its associated application but then the app will report an error like "can't understand file" or something like that. Does anyone have experience with files that appear to be there but won't open? THanks.
PS - permissions seem to be set correctly on these files -

Hello Sean:
According to your profile information, you are running OS X 10.3.x. If that is the case, you should post in that forum as you are liable to get incorrect answers here. If you are running OS X 10.4.X, I have read that CCC had some compatibility problems with OS X 10.4 - I do not know if they are resolved (I dumped CCC in favor of SuperDuper months ago). I only use SD (and before that CCC) to make bootable clones......

IMovie project is visible in finder but won't open

This morning I created a new project and had it just where I wanted it. I closed iMovie and came back later but it doesn't show in the project window. I can see it in finder but when I click to open iMovie doesn't open it. Any clues would be appreciated
iMovie 9.0.6
system 10.7.4
Thanks!

Hi
Did You move or alter any folder named (on DeskTop/Finder) ?
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
If altered anything in one of them - Try to move it back and Hope that iMovie find's it again.
Never move or alter on DeskTop - only within the iMovie Application - else connections to Project and material will break and this can be anything from Hard to impossibly to mend.

Laserjet Pro 200MFP, lights on but won't function or communicate

Laserjet Pro 200 MFP screen is blank, surrounding lights on, won't operate or commuunicate.

Hi @ntcktt,
I see by your post that the display is blank but the lights are on. I can help you with this.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try another outlet in another room, just to rule that out.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
There are about 4 Laserjet 200 models.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My HP officejet pro 8600 will print but won't scan wirelessly

My officejet pro 8600 will print and scan with a usb connection. It will also PRINT when connected wirelessly but it doesn't SCAN wirelessly. Running OS X Yosimit 10.10.2. thanks John

Thanks John!
I'm still curious as well, do you get that same error regardless of initiating the scan from the printer or the software?
At this point, I will suggest that you try resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer just yet) and then perform a verify/repair of your disk permissions. Once those complete, restart your Mac and then add the printer back to the queue.
Try scanning again via the HP software and then the Apple software. Please also ensure you try initiating the scan both from the printer as well as the software and let me know if there is any difference, thanks

Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

(Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
"The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
"The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
"The file could not be found."
But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.

If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other. I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g connected, but won't print

Windows XP Pro, new OJ 8500, connected by wired network.
firmware updated from web
printing function is unreliable - works then not
Do test print (or any other print job) from Windows, you can see the print job briefly flash in the print queue, and then disapear. It's like the job gets sent, and then the printer just deletes it, rather than print it.
go to http:\\192.168.0/103 - device webpage appears
HP digital imaging monitor shows connected.
Ink levels show on webpage OK.
HP Solution Center > Settings > Printer toolbox > Services Tab > print a self test diagnostic - Prints fine. (but job never appears in Windows printer print queue).
HP Solution center - scans work fine.
Windows Firewall exceptions: all HP .exe's and SLP port 427 TCP & UDP appear ok.
HP software removed and re-installed.
I have run out of ideas.
Your help please.

There are a couple of utilities near the bottom of this page that I would try (HP Print Diagnostic Utility and HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility):

If you try the HP Full Feature Software and Driver listed on the upper part of this page, I would use the HP Software and Driver Removal Utility located on the page first, especially if you installed from the original CD.

Acrobat Pro CS5.5 installed but won't work with my serialnumber

hi,
in 2012 I bought and downloaded CS5.5 and installed it completely. Never used Acrobat Pro though. Today I would like to but. Adobe Application Manager opens and asks to type the serialnumber. As I copied it from my LWS account and pasted it, the manager says it is not valid for this product? How can this be? What can I do? Anybody an idea? Thanks, Axel

Mac Pro (2008) Mouse opertational but won't click or open any applications. Help Please!

Mac Pro (Early 2008) my mouse lets me navigate all over and I can see the arrow and everything but can't click or open any applications. What shall I do? Help PLease!

I have a very similar problem on a Mac Pro 2010.
There are 3 Mac Pro's in the office and my apple mouse works perfectly on the other 2 machines, but not mine. On the flip side, he other Apple mice (from the other two Mac Pro's) work perfectly on my machine....?????!?!?
I've tried the guest account on my Mac and mouse works perfect. But when I log back into my account, the click functionality is gone. I can click on the toolbar (open applications) but I can't click anywhere else (Although I have noticed that I can click tabs in Safari, but it just closes them, it doesn't switch to the tab).
The only major difference, is my Mac is running Yosemite, and the others are Mavericks and Snow Leopard.
Any ideas????

Macbook pro has wifi connected but won't open internet - says computer offline - works fine on ethernet and other pc's

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
computer one year old.

He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

My non intel Mac runs OS10.5.6 but won't run Firefox 4.0, will I be able to run it at a later date or is my G5 ready for the graveyard?

Latest update says it won't run on my Mac (see question above) and current latest compatible version (3.6.17) will have full tech support for only a limited time now. Is there anything I can do to bring my Mac up to spec. Is it really a dinosaur already? Will I be able to run FF4.0 (or later) at a later dater date?
Any answers appreciated, thanks... B

Ah you have PPC version. Either you can keep using Firefox 3.6.* are try a third party version of Firefox 4.0.* at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
The Firefox 4.0 and newer downloads contains the 32-bit and 64-bit version for Intel at moment.

Photos show in finder, but won't let me select them...

For some reason I can't access some of my photos - when the finder window opens and I click on Photos, I can see the thumbnail of the picture in iphoto but the file name/number is a light gray color instead of in black. (I did not delete photos). Any ideas?

What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

MacBook Pro will turn on, but won't go past the gray screen.

Earlier today, my MacBook Pro took a small tumble to the ground. I did not shut off, but it was working a bit slower. I decided to do a restart on it and now it will turn on, I can hear the CD drive is still operational, but it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinner at the bottom and sits there. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Use Target Disk Mode:

You will need a Firewire cable.
Another option is to extract the HDD from the MBP, place in an enclosure and then connect it to the iMac.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro connected to network but won't connect to internet

My Macbook Pro is connected to the wireless network we have with a full signal strength. However, it will not connect to the internet unless I plug the computer directly into the router with an ethernet cord. Additionally, I can connect wirelessly without any problems at hot spots or other houses.
Anyone have a simple fix? I've already reset Safari. I've restarted routers and modems. I don't know what else I can do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This happens a little too often.

I think you trouble shot your problem. Get a new router.

QuickTime 7 doesn't offer that, but the built-in QuickTime X Player does. You may find another use for the key.
