Not possible to start applications that came with X-FI Plati

Hi all,
I have a problem with all the Creative software that came with my new X-FI Platinum (that i bought today). Whenever i start an application (like audio console or THX console) i get an error message that no compatible audio devices are found on my system. I've installed my X-FI with the CD that came with the product, and also tried to update my Audio card to the latest available drivers.. i even tried th new X-Fi drivers from Windows update
Before this card a used an Audigy 2 SZ (which worked perfect btw, but i want to move to Vista soon so that why i bought the X-FI), which i de-installed properly and removed all software before installing the X-Fi.
Could it be that there are leftovers somewhere that conflict with the X-Fi Creative software suite?.
I hope someone can help me out.
To summ up what system i have:
Intel Core 2 duo @ 2.4ghz (E6600)
Asus P5W DH deluxe MB/ Bios 707
2048Mb Mem
nvidia 8800GTS
Aegea PhysX card
WinXp sp2
Directx 9c (june 2007)
Thanks, Ramses

Ok.. apparently the driver which i downloaded from Creative was somehow not compatible with the applications.. i removed all apps and driver and sweeped my system with driver cleaner.. also de-installed the F-XI from hardware manager.. reinstalled all apps + driver from the installation CD and now it works.. Creative apparently uploaded a driver to my region (europe/netherlands)which is not suitable for the X-FI platinum.

I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve? I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. 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.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook? The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

Deleted the natve Tasks Application that came with my BB Curve

I have mistakingly deleted the natve Tasks Application that came with my BB Curve and now need to reinstall it.
How do i go about doing that? Your assistance will be appreciated as i cannot live with out.
meeemo

You didn't state what model curve you have (8300, 8310, 8320, 8350, 8520?), but download from your carrier same OS that is on your device now (Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx") and install that OS to your PC.
Then, run Desktop Manager > Application Loader, and check the box for the Task app.

I want to sell my MBP. How do I completely erase my 2007, 17-inch Macbook Pro that is currently running Snow Leopard. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE BOX ANYMORE.

I want to sell off my old MacBook Pro and do not want any of my old stuff on it for the next person to fool around with. I'd like a clean-slate for the next guy/gal. It's a 17-inch that I purchased back in '07. It is currently running Snow Leopard after I installed it myself about two years ago. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE LAPTOP IN THE BOX.

No problem, stick in your 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk you used to upgrade from 10.4/10.5 with
If you don't have this disk anymore, you can order one online at Apple.com for $29, they don't sell it in the physical stores.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Reboot holding the c or option key down to boot from the disk, select Disk Utility from under the Utilities menu on the second screen (first is language selection)
Now select your boot drive on the left with the drive makers name and disk size and click Erase > Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase
It will take some time to complete as it's making sure all your personal data if not easily recoverable off the drive using software.
Now quit and you will be back in the installer window, install 10.6 and it will reboot to the "Welcome Video" you can choose to press the power button down and do a hard shutdown, the computer will boot again to this video for the next owner.
If you need even more security in your data deletion efforts I suggest you read this

Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

Can Not Find Apple Loops files that came with Logic 7

I recently reinstalled my system and upgraded to leopard but am still running Logic 7.
My problem is that all of the apple loops that came with the application are no longer accessable for some reason.
I can view all of the loops in the loop browser, but any time I click on one to preview, it comes up with this error message: "Club Dance Beat 038.caf" - what kind of file is this?" It seems like all of the files are .caf.
When I search my system to try and find the loops, I cant find any loops that seem to go with logic. There are apple loops for garage band and soundtrack pro but not logic.
Can anyone help me in accessing my apple loops for logic? Shouldnt these things just come with the application when I install it? That does not seem to be the case here for whatever reason.
thanks much
Jesse

Your "problem" is that you now own the Garageband Loops, which are in the new .caf format.
Your version of Logic cannot open these files.
These .caf files were introduced with Logic 8. You would do good to upgrade Logic, if you really need to use those files.

How do I revert to Snow Leopard from Mountain Lion? I do not have the setup disk that came with my MacBook but I do have the Snow Leopard software.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and very much regret this move. I cannot use Parallels or Bootcamp for Windows XP which I need for some of my 'older' accessories. How do I revert from Mountain Lion back to Snow Leopard? I have the Snow Leopard software but I do not have the original setup software disk that came with the MacBook (leant to a friend and never seen again).

If you do revert to Snow Leopard, be aware of this "feature" I used with my 2009 MacBook Pro:
When it had the original OS (Leopard, I believe) I set up Bootcamp with Windows XP. I also installed Parallels and use the Bootcamp partition for Windows XP within Parallels.
I then upgraded to Snow Leopard and all was fine.
I then upgraded to Lion and still my Bootcamp partition works for Windows XP and also for Parallels.
I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion so I cannot speak to whether or not the Bootcamp paritition of Windows XP will continue to work. If you do and it works, LET US KNOW!

My machine crashed and I had to do a fresh install. It did not recognize my discs that came with the machine. A Mac tech got me back up and running but FaceTime has gone missing.

You're welcome....
Check appstore and see if they want you to buy it again or see if you can download it for free.

Applications that came with Epson printer on Win XP respond "Can't open... PowerPC apps no longer supported. Were they in Snow Leopard before I upgraded?

Epson pinter came with photo apps that ran under Windows XP. Loaded onto iMac 27", they don't respond with "Not compatable with Mac" but rather with "You can't open the application ..... whichever one ..... because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion? Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?

Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion?
Yes, using something called Rosetta.
Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?
OS X 10.7 does not support Power PC applications. I do not speak for Apple, but it appears they determined that since most applications are written Universal Binary, there was no reason to incur the expense of maintenance in the new OS X.
Many manufacturers have provided updates for older equipment (some have not). I suggest you either run software update andor check with Epson.

I want to wipe the hard drive on my apple G4 powerbook clean. I do not have the original discs that came with the laptop. I do have the OS x 10.4 disc that I purchased. When I reinstall 10.4 will that disc also have itunes iphoto and safari on it.

I have an apple powerbook g4 running 10.3.9 which my daughter gave me. However all the installation discs were lost. I just purchaed OS x Panther for it. I want to wipe the hard drive clean to get rid of all of her personal information as I want to donate the laptop to a needy family. Do I need the installation discs or will the panther os x disc have everything that I need to wipe the hard drive clean and install panther. I do have an external hard drive.

Hello again,
Some of those applications you mention will not be on the recently purchased OS 10.3 Panther disk so you'll need to make a copy of them so you can restore them later.
Copy to your external drive;
iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes* and you may also have World Book 2003 depending what bonus software was installed when new. There may be other Non Apple applications you want to keep also.
*You could probably still get a download of iTunes but because it is such an old version, to save searching for it, make a copy of it while it is in front of you.
Everything else will be the 10.3 Panther disk including Safari.
Ideally with original disks, the process would be:
Insert your Install disk 1 into the drive and then Restart, and hold down the C key to take you to the installation windows.
Select your language, the start up Disk and choose Erase and Install.
At the point your registration process starts, abandon the registration, quit and eject the disk and switch of the computer.
This will allow the new user a freshly installed system, whereby they can complete the registration process themselves.
However...
But as you want to add back iPhoto and iMovie etc, you'll proceed to create an Admin account, in order to add back those applications, by copying them from the external drive back to the Applications folder. After doing that you are finished.
Instruct the new user can create their own Admin account, (more than one can exist) and thereafter deleting the first one you created.
This would achieve a fresh setup akin to the original.

There is an error when I want to reinstall the applications that came with my mac (after having reinstalled the Mac OS X DVD). What can I do?

I erased my hard disk and then installed the Mac OS X DVD. After having done this I wanted to install the applications too, for which I introduced the Applications DVD. The DVD is recognized and I follow the instructions given. On the last step, the installation, the Installer shows me a Message. It says that there is an error, and that I should contact the Software developer. It is very weird, because there is no error number or any other explanation. If somebody could help, I would be enormously thankful.

If you have a backup (and I hope you did one as before any potentially dangerous task), you can restore it.
If you don't, but have a recent system, you may try to boot in recovery mode.
If you can't, you have to get another computer (or simply your Windows Mac) to "burn" your system image either on a DVD or a flashdisk (.dmg are just .iso so you can change suffix).
Anyway, each and every data you had on you HDD, including 3rd party apps, would be lost.

Do I need the original disk that came with a mac or can I just buy the OS software??

Hi I recently bought a used macbook and the seller did not have the original disks that came with the computer. What I was wondering is if I needed to install a new hard drive in the event that mine fails, can I just buy a copy of the OS and install it on the new hard drive or do I need the specific disks that came with the machine??
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You say that you have Mac OS X 10.7.5, so if it came preinstalled, see that you can't reinstall it because it's registered to the old owner. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs
If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. See if your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion
