Just installed the X-FI I/O Drive Upgrade...NOW I have proble

I have been using my X-Fi just fine for the last 3 months. No problems whatsoever. However, I got really tired of having to get to the back of my computer and switch cords between my speaker system and my mic. Thanks to the "Flexi Jack", you can only use one at a time. I use a mic and headphones in games, but use my 5. speakers to listen to music, etc.
So I got the I/O dri've installed. I can now have everything hooked in at once, and also have volume controls on the front of the PC as well as the handy remote. It's very convenient.
Unfortunately, now my sound has started cutting out. I'm using the SPDIF OUT on the I/O Dri've. I don't think this can be software related, it has to be hardware. All my drivers are up to date, MOBO Bios, everything is fresh.
It's really strange. At times the sound will go continuous for 20 minutes with no interruptions. Then at other times it will cut out every 0 seconds. Very annoying. There is no hissing or static, it just cuts out for about second. Silence.
I've read through these forums and can't find anything relating to problems starting because of the I/O Dri've. What gives? Anyone have any ideas?
AMD 4400+
ASUS SLI-Premium
Fortron 600
eVGA 7900GTX
Creative X-Fi

Thanks for the reply. My power supply is the SLI-certified Fortron 600. It's only 3 months old. It's been rock solid so far.
I have my PC and speakers plugged into a surge protector, but it's a few years old. I think I'm gonna go buy a new surge protector/conditioner, and see what that does.
If this doesn't work, I'll unplug the I/O dri've and see if my sound returns back to the way it was, with no anomalies.
Thanks again for the help. I'll post if I fix the problem.

I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

You'll need to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 7 to regain compatibility. Good luck....

TS1363 Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone

Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone (which it saw fine just a few minutes ago). So I can't do a backup etc. What's wrong and how do I put it right?

Well, without my doing anything, the situation has now righted itself. I came down this morning, switched on the computer and the IPhone - and now ITunes recognises the IPhone (it is listed under "Devices", which it wasn't before)
I notice however that the IPhone doesn't get listed under "Devices" until the backup process is complete. So maybe this points to what may have been going on before? Except that the reason I was worried was because the first thing I wanted to do after dowloading the new version of ITunes is make a backup - and I couldn't because ITunes didn't "see" the phone.
Anyway, not the first time I have had the eerie feeling that my relationship with IWorld is not in my control.

Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

Can't Install the X-fi I/O Drive Upgrade

I've trying to install my X-fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit for two days, all i get is the following message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" when trying to install it. I can't install the software in the CD either, as someone else suggested, it won't install, gives an error message. I've tried everything suggested in the "read first before posting". I've searched troughout the forum, and couldn't find any solution, just more people with the exact same problem, and not a single reply. It would be nice to get a solution that works.

Where are you connecting pwr? To the card or directly to the bay? If its plugged into the card then disconnect that and then there is a floopy pwr connector on the bay itself and thats where you hook up power. The only time you will connect pwr directly to the card is if you get the break out box as it will get its pwr from the card. If your already set up that way then sorry for intrudingJess

I just installed the itunes 10.5.2 on my pc and it wont access the itunes store. the same thing happened when i did the update to 10.5.1. can someone help me out

just installed the new update 10.5.2 and now my itunes wont access the itunes store. can any1 help me out?

I have had this same problem since uprading to 10.5.1. I just checked 10.5.2 and it's still broken.
Are you behind a proxy server that requires authenication? I am and I was fine with 10.5.1 until I had to change my proxy server password.
Previous versions of iTunes used to prompt for new proxy credentials but the 10.5.x versions don't.

Can I just install the drives off the website or

Can I just install the drivers off the website or do I have to install all that junk on the CD first ?
I really don't need Aol .

You didnt mention which card you have but assuming you have an X-fi variation no you don't have to install from the CD, unless of course you want the fancy mixer and such as those are not included in the driver downloads. The install cd does let you select just the stuff you want.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

Just installed the latest Version of Firefox and it wont play any videos or games? Help, so tired and frustrated with this web browser.

I just installed the newest version of Firefox version30. It wont play videos on youtube but i figured out what to do to fix that (change to "never activate" on Shockwave Flash add-on in plugins).
But if i leave that setting on then the game that i try to play on Facebook tells me turn on flash and when i do i still get a blank screen on FB. What do i need to do?
Im sure theres a simple answer. Ive tried at least 6 different things by reading others solutions and they have not worked. I dont get why why im still having problems WHEN I JUST FRESHLY INSTALLED THE NEWEST FIREFOX AVAILABLE FROM YOUR SITE!!
These annoyances are exactly the reason I and many others have left Firefox for Chrome after being loyal for many years. Help please!

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins". That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
Also, I don't even see Flash listed as installed on Firefox. Are you sure you have it installed? Try downloading it from the below site

I just installed the latest iMovie 10.0.2. Please don't say "look at the help menu" - it doesn't help. This is radically different than the version I'd been using. For starters it automatically converts to mp4 rather than .mov - that's my 1st question

Sorry for the long headline - I'm new to the support community and thought that was the post! I've been happily using my old version of iMovie - I don't even know the number - I guess it was 11? I just installed the most recent 10.0.2 and it is radically different from what I've been using. For starters, whereas my uploaded video used to be in the lower section, and I would edit up above, now it's reversed. Whereas I used to click on the transitions and drag a blur or whatever to my movie right while I was editing, now it's on a different screen. And the easy old Export file button is gone, where you could choose setting, file size, export as Quicktime movie - all gone - now it converts to mp4 and I STILL can't figure out how to get it back to .mov
Please don't say "read the Help manual" - I tried - there's nothing there about any of this. And by the way, I'm not a techie - I taught myself what I needed to know about the old iMovie and am now lost so please no snarks. I would appreciate any help.

Select in browser your movie, click Export on toolbar, choose iTunes, QT etc. then choose size of your file in opening window. And then click Export in this window.

If I purchase a box set of iLife and just install the iDVD component on my new iMac should I be able to make a DVD in the format that plays on a TV DVD?

When I recently purchased my first iMac I was disappointed to find that there was no DVD making facility. I want to make a video of photo's and movie clips and then make a DVD that will play on a TV DVD player. I am thinking of purchasing a box set of iLife that includes iDVD and just installing the iDVD component. Can someone please confirm that tyhis will work? If not any suggestions?

If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

I just installed update version 11.1.4.62. Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad. My wife just installed the same version with the same result. The problem is clearly a problem with itunes. What's wrong with itunes?

I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly. I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad. I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc. I tried diagnostics to no avail. The diagnostic didn't recognize either device. As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple mobile device service, That didn't work either. My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem. She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
Until now, itunes has been totally reliable. I am convinced the problem is with itunes. Where do I go from here?

I resolved the issue by doing the following:
1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
2. Uninstall bonjour.
3. Reboot.
4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
It worked. When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.
