Nvidia 173xx driver updated, compatible with latest xorg

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthr … ?p=2557225
This driver was removed from extra in September. Now, in may you can finally update to a current xorg.

Not quite. The 32bit version tries to use a symbol that was removed some time ago, so it has non-working opengl. The 64bit version works fine. Nvidia is aware of it, so maybe there will be an update.

HT4972 Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch

Hello Im JS.Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch. Thank You have a nice day.

What update?
iOS 5 is compatible with a 3G (as well as 4G) iPod. However, if you are stuck with 4.2.1 that indicates that you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to 4.1.2. See:
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Best update compatible with 10.6.8 with a Core i5

What is best update compatible with my macbook pro - OS X 10.6.8 with an Intel Core i5
I am not sure if Mavericks is compatible with this computer, and wonder if anyone has suggestions on what update to get

You can check below:
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         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.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.
Or you can stick with Snow Leopard. It's up to you. You can install the above on a separate hard drive or a separate volume on a hard drive in order to check it out before you decide to upgrade your main system. Be sure you make backups before you begin any system upgrade.

NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

Alienware M14x Laptop
Windows 7-pre 64-bit
8gb ram
3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
Intel i7 2760QM
AE CS4
AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
(It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
"This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.

Hi,
I believe I did reply this message elsewhere few days ago. Anyway. 750Gb or 1Tb is fine for your machine.

Shouldnt be? Itunes will back up your phone before applying updates, so even if something 'goes wrong', you can restore it to how it was.

Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

Which External Drives are compatible with Time Machine. I plan to utilize it for backups and to connect to an Airport Extreme.

MBP Retina, 15 inch, Late 2013. Intel Core i7. OSX 10.9.4
Which External Hard Drives are compatible with Time Machine.
I plan to use one drive for automatic backups connected to an Airport Extreme.
The connection can be USB or Ethernet and should be expandable.
OR
should I just buy the Time capsule and avoid the compatibility, connection and interference issues.
Thanks

Hi Kappy,
I just saw that on the Apple Support site that "Time Machine is not supported with USB hard drives that are connected to an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme device", just as you have suggested.
Why is the newest model of the Airport Extreme, which is the model I have, an exception to the Time Machine compatibility?
The following information is from Apple website:
Time Machine works with:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard drive (any model)
External USB hard drive connected to AirPort Time Capsule (any model)
An external hard drive connected to your Mac
Use the Time Machine pane of System Preferences to choose your backup disk(s).
Additional Information
Time Machine is not supported with USB hard drives that are connected to an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme device.

Is 6288 update compatible with 6280?

Is 6288 software update compatible with 6280?

The issue for 6280's seems to be that the update from 3.x to 5.x causes the handset to die and then the handset has to be revived / recovered using the tools at a service centre. In fact going from early versions of 3.x to later versions of 3.x is also risky.
As the NSU currently does not have a revive / recovery mode for dead handsets I am not surprised they chose to play it safe and only support the 6288 which has an initial firmware version of 5.92.
Hopefully future versions of the NSU will support the 6280 properly.
First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

What external tape drives are compatible with sunblade 100s?

hi,
please, can anybody tell me:
1. where i can find out whether or not a particular tape drive is compatible with my sunblade 100 workstation running solaris 9?
2. do external tape drives usually connect to the workstation's serial port?
3. what kind of specs/features should i be looking out for?
thanks in advance for your replies.
Message was edited by:
sun-certified

I would imagine you could use any tape drive with your sun blade... most are connected by either scsi or fiber channel... there could be some that are network controlled... not aware of any that are controlled by serial port...
GOOGLE is a wonderful thing... try it, you will like it...
compatibility is more concerned with which OS and program you want to use with the tape drive...
specs depend on what you are backing up... a single user would most likely only need a single drive... if you were a multi-national corp, then maybe you might contact Sun Sales...
maybe you should to some research yourself...

[SOLVED] xorg update has broken nvidia-173xx driver

Hi,
I've been using arch for around 2 and a half months on 2 computers (a dell Inspiron 2200 and an old home built pc). So far I've been able to figure out most things myself. However, following today's xorg update x seems to be broken. My laptop, which does not use nvidia, seems to be fine. On the pc i installed the i686 version and am running kde 4.5.1
I have reinstalled nvidia-173xx and nvidia-173xx-utils, and run nvidia-xconfig but this has not helped any.
Although the installation is carried out there is an error stating:
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules In order to use the new nvidia driver, exit xserver and unload it manually
A google search on the above error didn't advance me any further, either.
I have also waited for today's kernel update but that hasn't seemed to fix things.
If I run "startkde" i get an error message stating that it can't connect to the x server.
"startx" says much the same only more verbose.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following information :
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so undefined sym$
failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so
unloadable module "nvidia"
failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
I've done a lot of esearch but can't find any solutions to my issue. The following thread seems to be related :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103716
but i can't seem to find an answer there either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

ok, went to downgrade using
#pacman -U ...
but i have yet another error due to a conflict between files :
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/protocol.txt is already present in the file system
xorg-server: /usr/share/man/Xserver.1.gz is already present on the file system
xorg-server; /usr/share/xkb/README.compiled is afready present in the file system
is it possible to safely force the installation?
sorry if thatś a lazy question but I've been looking at this for so long that i can't fathom the idea of futher searching.
EDIT: ok, i had a break and realised it'd be safer to simply rename and the delete the problematic files. The downgrade went fine. I have X back.
thanks for the help.

Latest Firefox update compatible with Mac Tiger OSX 10.4.11

Firefox notifies me that I'm not running the latest version (I have 3.6.24 GTB7.1) and to download the version compatible with my older system (Mac Tiger 10.4.11). I click on that link and can find nothing that states what systems the version(s) there are compatible with. I have in the past downloaded and installed an incompatible version, a situation to avoid for obvious reasons.
Bob Hunt

Thanks for the fast responses, I am particularly happy to have found the floodgap.com website. Didn't think that I was the only one muttering about the abandonment of two decades of pre-Intel software and tech files that my work depends on, and am glad to see some action in that direction. Surely a cottage industry will spring up to keep hardware available. I love what Apple has brought us but not their ability to turn their back on what brought them up, and millions of users in the process.

Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for Premiere Pro and other applications

We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update in Premiere Pro and other applications. So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver.
Thanks!

It should be added that only Macs and Quadros need the CUDA driver. That is not required for use with GeForce cards on Windows.

Does ITunes show updates compatible with your device only or all available updates?

If iTunes is showing thy iOS 6.1 is available as an update does that mean it's compatible with my device for sure?

Just the latest signed one that is compatible with your iPhone.
