New MBP's - NVidia 8600M GT not recognized in Vista

I just installed Vista Ultimate on one of the new MacBook Pro's that use Nvidia 8600M GT. The adapter is not recognized and is defaulting to Standard VGA driver.
I tried manually installing the Nvidia drivers but it bombs out after saying that no compatible hardware is recognized.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

i was able to get it working after going here...

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop. Is there a fix? Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

Hello there baku_k,
It sounds like your iPod shuffle just isn't being seen in iTunes no matter what you do on your PC running Windows 8. Without knowing the exact troubleshooting you have done, I would recommend that you look over the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you determine what may be happening, named:

All the very best,

New iPod not recognized in Vista PC and no devices in iTunes

Hello, plugged iPod Touch into computer and Vista showed usual little box which said automatically located drivers and installed them. But couldn't find iPod in My computer. Installed iTunes from download area. No devices in left column.
Reinstalled iTunes from fresh download. Plugged iPod in every USB point on computer, but nothing happens. IPod not found or recognized.
Tried to find USB driver in Device Manager but all have generic names and so can't identify which driver was installed for iPod. None show installation date or anything which may identify which one. Also forgot to create restore point first (kicking self - always do this normally before installing something new).
Been through Apple help pages and tried all their ideas including reinstalling. Still nothing found.
Could someone please suggest what to do, besides dropping computer out of window?
Many thanks
Phil Chave

Why New-SPConfigurationDatabase and other commands are not recognized?

Hello Community
    In Sharepoint 2013 Server I am an Administrator and in
SQL Server 2012 I am a securityadmin, db_owner and sysadmin. In the
I am also a domain user and domain administrator.
    Below is what is returned from the Powershell command I entered:
PS C:\> $PSVersionTable.psversion
Major Minor Build Revision
3      0      -1     -1
    I am running WS2012 and the prerequisites for Sharepoint 2013 Server have been installed.
    However when I run the Powershell script to configure the
New-SharepointFarm the command fails with all of the Powershell
commands returning the following error message:
PS C:\scripts> .\New-SharePointFarm.ps1
Configure Database
New-SPConfigurationDatabase : The term 'New-SPConfigurationDatabase' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

    As you can see the error says: "The term 'New-SPConfigurationDatabase' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet"
but as you can see $PSVersionTable.psversion shows the Powershell version I am using so my question is:
    How come when I run commands like "New-SPConfigurationDatabase" they are not recognized?
    Thank you

Hello Alex
    I should have included that while troubleshooting I did that too.
The results of "Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" were:
        Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 3
    and if I try to run .\New-SharePointFarm.ps1 again I get the same error:
        The term 'New-SPConfigurationDatabase' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

New battery, did SMC reset - still not recognizing battery

I have a black 13" macbook - about 4-5 yrs. old. Original battery died and swelled. Got a new battery. Macbook was not recognizing it. Did SMC reset. Solved problem temporarily. For a few days everything worked fine, I charged fully, allowed to drain fully, and used normally. After a few days, X over battery icon, no battery found in system profiler. Did SMC reset again, this time with Option key pressed per a post on this forum. Worked for a few days. Keeps happening. I do the SMC reset, the system works fine for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, but inevitably the X appears and macbook does not recognize the battery. I have read posts all over the internet of similar problems. Is there a design flaw in the hardware? What is going on, and how do I fix it?

Where did you get the new battery? It seems likely that it's defective. Return it and get another one.

Sync new iPad with Mac bu Mac not recognizing

i plugged my new, first time used iPad into my mac and the mac is not recognizing the iPad. I then plugged the iPad into my PC and the PC did recognize and take me to the registration page in iTunes. I am wanting to sync with the Mac. Any ideas how to get the Mac to recognize?
Mac OS X
Version 10.4.11

Yes it is however, you can only use it for the following:
iPad 1st Gen
No Uses
iPad 2
No Uses
The New iPad
Use your iPad as a wireless hotspot. 3G/4G Versions only.
I hope this helped. I see you are meaning iPad 2, my iPad 1 sometimes uses my iMac as a hotspot (I think- The simbol is shown), even though my iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iMac.

New MBP - set up - media folder not working?

ok, I have a lovely new MBP, I used to have my external HD as my Itunes Media folder location, just pointed it to that folder again, but itunes is doing nothing. usually when I have done this in the past it starts to feed in all my playlists etc.
any ideas of what I might be doing wrong here? something changed since I did it previously in Tiger?

on my previous MBP I had itunes set to use my external for my songs. then how come they are not showing?
File -> Add to library and select the folder where the music is located.
I can't get itunes to recognise those playlist or even the library as before?
"Those playlists" are in the iTunes library file in the \Music\iTunes\ folder on your old computer.
Did you copy the \Music\iTunes\ folder from your old computer to your new computer?

External Hard Drive Not Recognized In Vista?

I have a Western Digital MyBook hard drive, 500 GB. I have my Time Machine backups un there as well as my iTunes music.
However, whenever I am in Vista, it never shows up in the Explorer.
Why is this happening?

I am new to mac but also have fusion. I have the western digital ext hard drive and a back up genie to back up my fusion pc side and a seperate simpletech 1 tb ext hard drive configured for my mac. I also have a shared drive that i can save from side to side. With all this said i sometimes have the issue of not recognizing the western digital in my fusion pc side. Then all of sudden hours or a day later it will be there. It is not formatted for mac. Help, how do i get it recognized all the time.

Creative Zen stone with speaker not recognized by Vista 32

My creative zen stone with speaker is not recognized by computer. Downloaded starter pack and it worked, but the first time i disconnected it and connected again, the device is not in "my computer". It is listed as working properly under "safely remove hardware". Uninstalled drivers, and connected again, driver was installed and I am told the device is ready to be used, but it is still no where to be seen, and update tools etc. also does not recognize connected device.
thank you

Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

3G iPod Not Recognized in Vista

I have a 3G iPod, and I'm trying to connect it to sync, but Vista is not recognizing it. It keeps asking me to insert the disc so it can search the disc for a driver. I've never had this problem before. The iPod says "do not disconnect", but itunes doesn't launch, or recognize it when opened manually, and in device manager windows has a little question mark by the ipod. I've run out of idea. I'm trying to connect it via firewire. My iPod nano is found fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Also if anyone knows why suddenly iTunes can't find certain songs and my playlists are suddenly blank, even though the songs are physically still on my hard drive, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know.

Close down iTunes, try a USB port on the back of the PC and see if Vista recognizes it....if so, then fire up itunes.

Click Wheel iPod not recognized by Vista Retail

I have a 20gb click wheel ipod that Vista v6.0 does not recognize in device manager. iTunes does not recognize the unit either.
I'm surprised that Apple has not addressed the problem comprehesively but rather suggests generic fixes for all their products such as the 5r's. Particularly given the number of customers with the same issue. Hope was dashed with the promise of a fix in the latest version of iTunes. End user fixes are innovative but I had hope that Apple would use its resources to address the issue with a retooled and workable driver (presuming this is where the issue is).
After searching the forums and trying every conceivable fix from formatting, usb ports, older versions of iTunes and Windows drivers, I'm in need of a fresh perspective.
The most noteworthy link to an article from end users I've attempted which unfortunately did not resolved the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2001067#2001067 (Thanks to Buegie for the comprehensive approach).
Is anyone aware of ongoing efforts from Apple to address the issue with a software fix or have they abandoned support of older models?

Ken,
UAC was disabled on the machine from the first day Vista was installed and long before any other software was installed. I suspect that it would have been disabled in safe mode regardless although I've never tested that theory.
I was surprised to read that Adobe would not install for you unless UAC was on. I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 yesterday without UAC on and without incident.
Above you describe you are trying to resolve problems similar to my own. If your ipod was not recognized by Windows or iTunes, I encourage you to disconnect your cable from the pc, boot it in safe mode and then connect the cable. There are a number of different issues and fixes revolving around this issue but surely this would be one of the simple ones to try. I tried them all and I really mean all so I was nothing short of stunned to see this work. Good luck.

Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
UPDATE
I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?
