Need GeForce Forceware driver to overclock NX8500GT

I have downloaded the latest Forceware driver from nVidia 163.71. I'm trying to overclock the card but it resets to factory defaults every time the computer is booted.
After a couple of hours of searching, I found several sources that say that the 16x.xx will not allow overclocking.
I need to know the best drivers to download in light of this.

I uninstalled all nVidia drivers and installed the latest drivers from MSI's website (162.18).
RivaTuner now works, I have my vidcard overclocked quite a bit, and everything seems to be fine. Hopefully the nv4 infinite loop problem is also gone.
"Hopefully the nv4 infinite loop problem is also gone."
If problem comes, return VGA to stock parameters and re-test, if its fine. Then seems you are OC VGA too much, start diging again.

Need Geforce 9400m driver for OSX lion

Please help, I can't find the driver for the geforce 9400m for OSX lion on the Nvidia's website. There's only the drivers for OSX leopard and snow leopard.

Try turning off bluetooth. I noticed after doing some research and using xbench to test my system, GUI resources almost tripled after turning off bluetooth. I know thats odd but of all the fixes and ideas I have found online, this seems to be the only one which increased gaming performance. Be nice if we could download updated drivers from nvidia though. It will only be a matter of time before we have the ability to get lion drivers through nvidias site. Snow leopard is already there so im sure lion is to follow soon. If this doesnt help, go get yourself an optimization tool like onyx or CleanMyMac. This helped me out a little bit. Not much but enough to get another few FPS. Hope this helps.

Where can I find a NVDIA GeForce 9400 driver upgrade?

imac9.1 is continually crashing. The problem report is indicating it is in "com.apple.GeForce(5.4.8)".
I assume what I need is to upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 driver, but I can't find it anywhere,
not even on the official NVIDIA site. Anybody know ehre I can find it?

Hi, we're stuck with what Apple gives us in the OS, before reinstalling 10.5, try reinstalling the big 10.5.8 combo.
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device
This is the message that i get when ever i plug in my ipod touch to my computer. the computer is running on vista. i dont know what to do, because i tried to follow the steps suggested, but it didnt work, the computer said that it couldnt find anything and to check with apple for some driver software. HELP!!!

The iPod touch and iPhone do not use the same type of USB drivers that other Apple devices use. They both require Apple Mobile Device Services to be running. Using this tech article as a guide, you can easily fix this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Do I need external hard drive to back up my iMac before update to mountain lion? My is OS 10.6.8

Do I need external hard drive to back up my iMac before update to mountain lion? My is OS 10.6.8.

First, repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Second, make a bootable backup to an external drive using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Third, purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Be sure you meet the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

Windows 8.0 pro needs an NTFS drive but boot camp didn't make one

Just got a new macbook pro and went through the steps to get windows 8 pro on the machine as well. all seemed to go well until windows asked which drive to install windows on. I selected the one i had partitioned to 50gb.
Error. windows needs an NTFS drive to install to.
Any ideas?
I've read some ways of "turning on" NTFS support on the mac book but as Apple doesn't "support" it, will I be putting my machine at risk for technical help from Apple if I do the command line stuff?
It seems pretty silly to go through all these steps and then find that the drive that has been partitioned isn't the correct version.
Any help gratefully received.
Shaun

You are not following the Boot Camp Installation instructions located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. You do not format the Boot Camp partition, you follow the instructions about formatting, especially the part about selecting the advance option and selecting format.

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

OK in order to read those files you will need MS Office for Mac or install MS Windows on your Mac. You can get MS Office for Mac from anyone that sells Apple products. I would suggest the Apple Store, Best Buy, Amazon etc...For help getting the data from the memory stick I'd recommend visiting your local Apple Store or AASP and they can help you move it. It should be as simple as plugging the USB drive into your USB port and then open a Finder Window where you will see the drive on the left pane. If you don't know what Finder is or how to open a new Finder window you need the sites I've noted below!!!
Because you are new to OS X I would strongly recommend you bookmark and frequently visit the following web sites:

Need ATI XP driver on Satellite Pro A200-15G

Hi,
I'm italian so my english will be not very well :)
I've installed XP on my toshiba Satellite Pro A200-15G.
I've searched the display driver for this model of notebook on this toshiba site, but i didn't find it.
Where i can find it?
Ah, another thing: i've installed xp without update bios for xp... is necessary to update it?
Last thing (for the buyers of a satellite/satellite pro a series): what is the autonomy of your notebook's battery (in various modes and in various SO)?
Thanks.
Bye

Hi,
if you need a display driver then go here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
or especially for ATI cards you can go here:
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
Regarding BIOS: yes, if you want some things on your machine working properly then update your BIOS to the XP version.
Hm, battery lifetime... should be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours
But I am not sure, it depends from so many things.

Do you need a Pioneer Driver or Ext. to use a Pioneer DVDR Drive?

That basically is my question. Is there a driver or extension needed to run a Pioneer DVD drive on Mac 10.39?
I have a DVR-108 and Toast sees it fine but Restrospect doesn't see it at all--says there are no drives with removeable media found.
Retrospect supports this drive but I'm not sure about 10.39 although since Toast sees it?
In System Profiler it shows up on the ATA window but the description list under "burner" says "not supported." Of course the drive is a burner and Toast will burn with it so I'm confused.
Do this and other Pioneer drives get supported under the "Pioneer Super Drives" item I see in the extensions folder?
I was thinking that now 10.39 would support any IDE or ATA drives that Windows would. I know Windows has to have drivers but I don't see anything about "drivers" in 10.39?
Pioneer also mentions nothing about MACs on their info page on this drive and I know their firmware updates have to be made by putting your drive in a Windows computer and upgrading it that way, so maybe Macs aren't supported by Pioneer drives.
Any suggestions? I'd like to get something that will run on 10.39 (I can't upgrade my G4 because I'm using and end of the line ProTools version that won't run on 10.4). and be recognized by Retropsect. I running Retrospect 6.1.124 and also its latest Mac driver from EMC.

Hi Steve
Mac has the drivers already installed and loads them. Every external device needs a driver, it is just that you are more aware of it in windows because you have to install them, but Macs have for a long time done it quietly behind the scenes for you.
As for pioneer Super drives being compatible with Macs, they certainly are, in fact some lines of Mac's optical drives are Pioneer in manufacture but not in name.
The problem is Retrospect, and I've come across the same thing. Able to burn a DVD in Finder, but Retrospect doesn't see the drive. The Retrospect manual is no help as it is full of repetitious conditions and qualifications when all you want is some straight information.
I wasn't able to solve the problem and uninstalled that overpriced and over complicated box of garbage and instead use SuperDuper for backups which cost only $30 but just no DVD ability. So maybe Retrospect needs installed some driver that it is compatible with - I don't know.
So sorry I have no solution but just thought I could at least inform you about drivers and Pioneer drives and Macs.
I'll keep an eye on this topic and look to see what the solution is.

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

Need an instrument driver for Stahl product

Hi guys!
I need an instrument driver for the coil temperature measurement device ER-230.01B (company Stahl)!
Does anybody of you have this driver?
I have already searched in the NI Driver list and couldn't find it.
Thx,

Hi Nobby_83,
Unfortunately we don’t have the driver for your Stahl device. You have to contact Stahl to know if they have the driver.
