NI488.2 linux driver software not working

I have installed and uninstalled and re-installed several times NI 488.2 driver for linux. Version 2.5 - in SUSE Linux 10.1.
When selecting troubleshooting, it says the software wasn't installed correctly and says to re-boot and install sofware again. The GPIB explorer sees the card, but I can't get past the troubleshooting box that says to reinstall the software. When I uninstall, the nikal and nipal do not totally uninstall. I looked at the knowledge database and followed the directions on uninstalling, however the UNINSTALL in the /usr/local/natinst/ni4882 directory do not exist, evan after I re-installed the driver again. I don' t know where to go from here to figure out why the software is not installed correctly. Can you direct me in the right direction to correct whatever problem may exist?

Hi Song M!
This is a screen capture of when I uninstall the driver. I've done this before. Apparently, it doesn't totally uninstall and I'm wondering if that has something to do with my installations not working properly. However, I get no errors when I install the driver. In answer to your other questions - the driver is running just fine on another linux machine. I believe there is something in my linux installation causing this, but I'm not quite sure what it is, and where to start poking around. I also believe the problem is in the installation of the sofware, not the hardware, since that is the error I receive.
linux:~/gpib # ./UNINSTALL

Would you like to reboot now? [yes|no]
I found a problem in the knowledge database about uninstalling earlier when I was attempting to fix this problem. It follows. I do not have uninstall scipts in these directories after installation of the software. So, I'm not sure if there's a problem in my installation, or if these just don't exist anymore. But, in any case, I can't uninstall everything.
This is what I saw in the knowledge base:
Problem:
How do I uninstall the NI-488.2 version 2.5 driver for Linux?
Solution:
Uninstallation scripts ship with the NI-488.2 version 2.5 driver for Linux. The uninstallation is componentized, so you will have to run multiple scripts if you wish to completely remove the driver from your system. To uninstall NI-488.2, run the following commands as root:
/usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-help
/usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-util
/usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-driver
Additionally, NI-KAL as well as an additional NI support library are installed with NI-488.2 version 2.5 but may be required by other NI programs. If you do not need any additional NI software, run the following uninstallation scripts:
/usr/local/natinst/nikal/bin/UNINSTALL
/usr/local/natinst/nipal/bin/UNINSTALL
Note: Newer versions of NI-KAL and the NI support library installed by NI-488.2 may not include these UNINSTALL scripts. In this case the NI-DAQmx or NI Modular Instruments Driver UNINSTALL scripts should be run last and they will remove NI-KAL and the NI support library.
The NI-488.2 installer also installs the LabVIEW Runtime Engine. Depending on the Linux distribution, you will need to either remove this via RPM or by deleting the shared object from /usr/local/lib.
So, still looking for more suggestions. I have attempted all you said to do. And still have the same problem.
Thanks,

I have a macbook 2006 its hard drive was not working anymore so i install a new 500GB hard drive but now i just need the software. Which one should i buy?

Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
"windows was unable to complete the format"
So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
waiting for the help !

Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:
+Why does my CD/DVD Drive not work after upgrading to Windows 8?+

You will need to uninstall the Toshiba programs:

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
Please help.
Thanks

How is the hard drive formatted?
Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
(The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
What do you see?

My mac book pro fell of my desk, everything seems fine, but the dvd drive is not working properly, any suggestions

My mac book fell of my desk yesterday. All seems well, but I noticed today that the dvd drive is not working properly, it seems to want to keep ejecting the disk even when the disk is out, and it won't accept dvd's any more. Any suggestions o fellow apple users?

Back up EVERYTHING, then take it in to have them assess for any latent damage. Wouldn't want a similar "delayed reaction" from the hard disk drive, would we?

Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?
Thank you for any help,

Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

hi erabbath,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

Let me know your findings.

Backing up to new external hard drive is not working

I just purchased a new 2TB FreeAgent external hard drive. I hooked it up to use as a time machine backup and in the preferences of Time Machine it said that the drive needed to be formatted. I then went to Disk Utility and erased the drive using the format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and gave it a name. Once that was done I attempted to back up again through time machine but it started the "calculating changes..." at 23% and stayed there all night. I do not know if I need to reformat it differently or why it is not working.... any suggestions?

Did you cancel the backup it was attempting to do, before disconnecting it? If not, did you eject it first?
Do you mean it ran backups? Or just that it was recognized? Those are very different.
The mac pro has 2 internal hard drives. One for the OS and the other for a tm backup.
Be sure that second drive is now excluded from TM Backups via TM Preferences > Options. If TM is trying to back up the internal disk's TM backups onto the new external, that might explain why it's confused (I know I am!)
I attempted to hook up this external drive to a second external tm back up
Do you mean you've "daisy chained" it, to yet another disk also containing TM backups?
and noted the different disk in the tm preferences.
Do the two disks have different names, and does TM Preferences show the new name? If not, the preferences file may be corrupt. In that case, do a "full reset" per #A4 in the Troubleshooting Tip.
Do you have any idea why this drive would not work on my mac pro but does work on my imac?
I'm not entirely sure that's true. Please clarify exactly what you're doing; what's connected where and how, and what's being backed-up.
On the Pro, you have 2 internals and how many externals? Which ones are being backed-up (ie, not on the exclusion list in TM Preferences > Options)?

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.
