New 945GCM5, unable to install sound device

Hi all, please help,
I used the parts on the list below for a friends PC whose old motherboard was fried by power fault, some parts used, some new.
Anyway, I installed all the parts into his case along with the old hard drive. Formatted and installed Windows XP and then started to install the drivers from the CD for the Intel chipset, Intel onboard VGA drivers, Realtek NIC and Realtek HD Audio driver.
All the drivers installed and recognised the devices except the sound drivers. No matter what I do I can't get windows to install the drivers, it just won't recognise the drivers as belonging to the device.
The device shows up in Device Manager as PCI Device with the yellow exclamation mark to show a problem, when I disable the onboard sound in BIOS it disappears so it is definitely the sound device (onboard Realtek ALC888 chip, I believe).
What I have tried so far,
1. Tried install from CD.
2. Downloaded latest drivers from MSI, and tried install.
3. Downloaded latest drivers from Realtek, and tried install.
4. Tried to update driver from driver tab of device in Device Manager with the above drivers.
5. Formatted and reinstalled XP over again, and tried 1 to 4 again.
Is there a problem with the motherboard? Am I wasting my time?
Is there a way to force the install of the drivers?
Sorry if I've gone on a bit too long! Any help would be much appreciated, I've spent ages trying to fix it!

Your problem may have to do with SP3. There are known problems with SP3 and KB88111 / Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver.
Try this:

If that doesn't work, try again with SP2 only.

New PC, Xfi, driver installed, sound disapears after a short time

Help.
I have a new computer which i've been looking forward to some time.
I think my motherboard is Asus P32N SLI or something similiar.
Quad core and X-fi music on Vista Premium
I installed the drivers from the CD and rebooted then I couldnt change speaker settings from 2. or 5. (depending which time I tried), I want 7. but it just reverts back to those.
I used Auto update and rebooted, the sound of windows starting up came and then on windows nothing, on the test sound in control panel I get "Failed to play test tone" and nothing works, yet the device is there, its got drivers, and I can't figure it out.
Please help!
Many thanks
David

Nope,
But I just discovered that that it is actually not only the sound that stops working but rather the whole video that has a "hick-up" and then when it continues the sound is gone. If I fastforward/rewind then it seem like the player rocovers and play the stream correctly again.
What are the Mp4 clip prefs you have used when converting?
I am planning to try some other settings when converting to see if that makes any difference but I doubt it will help. I think we will have to wait for a "better" i.e. working Video Player for the iPod ...

New HD, unable to install Windows 7 from recovery discs

I have a pavilion dv6. The hard drive recently failed so I replaced it (the original was a Western Digital 640Gb, the new one is WD but 320Gb). To install Windows 7, I used the 6 recovery dvds I made when I originally bought the notebook. After the 6th dvd, the screen displays the hp logo and stays on that screen without restarting. I have tried the Windows install 3 times, the 1st time I had to do a hard shutdown because it just sat at the hp logo screen. The second time the system shut down on its own due to overheating. The third time I waited 1.5hrs before shutting it down. Any help is much appreciated.

A couple of things to consider.
1-On most machines Recovery Disks will fail to install if the hdd is smaller than the original, unless maybe there was a configure to order option on your model to choose a smaller hdd.
2-Have you tested the hdd in BIOS setup, not that uncommon to receive a faulty hdd.
3- Scroll down on the page and get Partition Wizard Bootable CD ISO and ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd and boot from it. Delete any partitions, create one and format. Next try booting from Recovery again.

Also double check your firewalls and virus protection that they are not blocking any ports also make sure you are plugging in the fastest USB

Hello elmiliner
It sounds like you are having issues with connecting to the internet. Check out the first article to troubleshoot that issue. If you are having issues, then try the second and third article for further troubleshooting.

Unable to install iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows 8. I get Service "Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services. I am trying to install this on my desktop not a mobile device.

Unable to install iTunes 11.1.4.62 on windows 8. I get
Service "Apple mobile Device) failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I am trying to install it on my desktop. I am also in Administrator mode. My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
runtime Error!
Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
My iTunes stopped working at this time. I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1 -Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1 and have it sucesfully install the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It keeps coming up with an error that the driver is unsigned or disappears completely from device manager.
I have tried full uninstall including cleaning registry keys and file system. If I uninstall and re-install 9.2.1 usb driver works perfectly and I have no issues synching with phone or seeing the phone in Itunes.
I have tried repair installs, updating the drivers by pointing to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
I have tried removing all USB devices and having them reinstall from Windows after a reboot. Nothing seems to work.
I just got a new IPAD and cannot use it because I cannot install 10.1 at least to have it connect. It came with IOS 4.2.1 on it.

I also encountered the same problem.
and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..
but when reinstalled prior itunes version 9.2 its gone
and issue fixed.
i can sync my 3G.
but not my 4G. it says you need to upgrade to 10.1 or above
spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
i finally find out one thing.
pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
ok. lets start...
in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
and reinstall itunes 9.2
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
uninstall itunes 9.2
and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
restart the computer and start itunes now
what happens?
best of luck.
-Kmhm63
reinstall the newer version 10.1
I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.

Unable to install Snow Leopard to a brand new Macbook Pro

I have a new MB Pro that I'm unable to install 10.6.3 onto. This is a machine I got for work, and it has a corporate image on it. I thought I'd be able to create an additional partition on the hard drive and do a fresh install of 10.6.3 on it.
If I just put the disc in and boot, holding down <option>, then I can choose the Mac OS Install Disc. However, after a few minutes, the DVD spins down and the machine just sits there.
If I boot into the existing partition, and run the installer from there, I can point it to the new partition and it starts installing. However, with around 36 minutes left, the machine reboots, and ends up sitting on the grey screen with the Apple logo. Again, I can hear the DVD drive spin down.
I tried this with 10.6.0 discs as well, but since this is a brand new machine I realized that it would probably need 10.6.3. Unfortunately, even that isn't working.
Is it possible that our IT department has done something that would prevent me from booting off of install media?
Thanks for any help...

It sounds like your computer is trying to use the install disk and is having some issues reading it.
Your IT department may have put a firmware password on the computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352) but I don't think this is the case as you are able to use the option key to enter the start up manager and select an install disk an start the boot process.
It might be time saving to just ask your IT department if there is something about the computer's setup that prevents you from booting to an Install disk. A basic task that many users want to accomplish requires that ability, repairing the disk with the install disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782
Make sure you are using the original install disk that came with the computer. If you are using the original Mac OS Install disk then check the disk in good lighting for scratches or smudges. A dirty or damaged disk may not respond like it should.
Do you have an original Mac OS X 10.6 Retail Install disk? If so, try using the C key or option key with that disk. It should at least start up using that disk and eventually (1-5 minutes) bring you to the Language Selection screen. If it does then you have dirty or damaged install disk. Try cleaning the disk with a soft, clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
Hope that helps.

Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
states this app unable to run on this PC

Hello jgrn76,
It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sound devices missing post-10.6 install

Did an upgrade on my MacBook Air. Everything else went smoothly... except suddenly my sound devices are missing. No output, no input. No more software updates to install.
Anyone have any idea?

As per a forum search here will show you if you're looking hard enough, the flex cable and sound board go south on these things due to frequent overheating. This was confirmed by a Genius yesterday. They're going to replace the cable and sound board, as well as order a new logic board and replace that if they find other heat damage.
As to your problem, I saw some suggestions that the sensor that detects optical/analog output for your jack may have become dirty and to try and "clean" it by repeatedly inserting/removing your headphones. I don't know if that'll help you at all, but I do remember seeing it.
Good luck!

Unable to install Device CALs on Windows Server 2012 after OS Reinstall

Due to a hardware fault we had to reinstall Windows Server 2012. I have activated the Terminal Services licensing Server but I am unable to install Device CALs that we have purchased.
The error is as follows:
"Remote Desktop Services Licensing is unable to process your request. Make sure you provided correct information. If the problem persists, try other methods of activation. Error code is 800"
I tried contacting technical support over phone - they are also unable to resolve the issue.

Hi, thanks for response.
I contacted Clearing House over phone and provided them with all the details regarding authorization
number(s), license number(s) et al. However they also mentioned that there is some technical error from their "tool" and directed me to Technet Forum.
I shall try the Hotfix
