Original Live Drive!1 ,ct4860 ,compatibility?

Hi,
What Creative soundcards are compatible with the the original Li'vedri've!? I/O panel?I have the panel(model ct4860)?and would like to recycle it but I'm not sure what soundcards it works with. I've not seen a comprehensi've list of compatible SoundBlaster cards with the original Li'veDri've!.Does such a list exist?If not why?I don't think thats asking to much. Thanks.

Progress (of sorts). Went for the "clean sweep installation" (again). Downloaded the latest driver pack from Creative (again). But this time, before the "clean sweep", I actually renamed a number of files in %WINNT%/System32 and %WINNT%/System32/drivers so that Windows DEFINITELY can't re-use them.
This time, the driver update was successful. I can tell that because now, when I run the RemoteCentre driver update, it actually completes (where before it kept quitting, and telling me to update my sound card drivers).
So now I'm running latest drivers, plus am running latest version of Remote Centre. Now, on restart, Remote Centre starts at least (previously it'd just give me an error saying it can't find the remote control receiver).
Problem is that even though it's now starting and showing the remote control GUI on screen, after it starts I can't do anything with it. The remote control GUI disappears and I can't get it back. If I right-click on the RemoteCentre icon in the systray and choose "Configure RemoteCentre" it says........
"Unable to detect remote control receiver - please check to see if it is installed correctly".
I'm really at a bit of a loss now I don't have sufficient free hardare to build a Win98 machine to confirm that the hardware works and as far as I can tell that is the only way I can be certain whether it is dead or not. It definitely worked fine in Win98 - can't remember if I had it running in Win2k or not, though.
If anyone has any more ideas on how I can test the thing, please let me know. For example - when I remove the covers for SPDIF connectors, I can't see any lights - should I be able to see a red light to indicate the device has power, or is that a red herring?
Please help I promised a friend I'd rip his tape to CD weeks ago now. I haven't got a suitable cable to convert RCA jacks into regular "headphone"-style stereo jacks, and so can't plug into the card itself. **bleep** **bleep** **bleep**

I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's. By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already. Go to the Floodgap website (they author it) download it for free. The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported. It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test. That's now my default on my G5's. Firefox and Safari are no longer supported. As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me. The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie. The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to. They 'dumbed it down' for the masses. Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion. So Leopard should be fine for you. It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine. As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site. As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps. See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM). You might find you don't need eight. A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will. I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC. Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro. The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it. You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available. As far as backup on your resurrected machine: look for a firewire enabled backup if can. Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup. Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes. You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all. The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00. It runs nice and fast through the 800 port. I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures. They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

MacBook hard drive is full again. Replaced original hard drive with a Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 256GB hard drive about 18 mo. ago, but my MacBook is now already saying that my hard drive is full again. 13in. Alum. Late 2008 MacBook

My MacBook hard drive is full again. I have a 13in. Aluminum, Late 2008 MacBook, and about 18 months ago (in October 2013), I replaced the original hard drive with a Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 256GB hard drive. However, my MacBook is now already saying that my hard drive is full again. When I check "System Information," under "Storage," it states the following: Audio 52.02 GB; Movies 33.68GB; Photos 43.13GB; Apps 14.76 GB; Backups 174.4 MB; and Other 96.39GB.
Also, at home, I have an Apple Time Capsule 4th Generation 2TB that I use as my wireless router, and I also use it for automatic backup via Time Machine. And when I first purchased Time Capsule, the first time I connected Time Capsule, Time Machine asked if I would like to use it to back up my files, and I clicked, "Use as Backup Disk." And that's really all I've ever done with Time Capsule.
In addition, I also have a LaCie Porsche Design P'9223 1TB external hard drive. I have copied my MacBook's hard drive onto my LaCie external hard drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Obviously the Audio, Movies, Photos, and Apps are taking up a lot of space... Any suggestions re: what I can do with Audio, Movies, Photos, and Apps? And what about the Other? Other is taking up 96.39 GB. What is Other, and what can I do about it?
And what about partitioning my hard drive... Is that something I should do? Should I partition, or configure, my MacBook's internal hard drive differently? And should I partition, or configure, my external hard drive? And if I need to partition, or configure, my MacBook's internal hard drive differently, how do I setup Time Machine to backup per any such changes? Same thing for my external hard drive?

Thank you for your help.

Partitioning makes no sense. You have a drawer full of stuff. Split it into two smaller drawers and you have two smaller drawers full of stuff.
Decide what you can store on external storage - your iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom libraries can all be stored on externals, as can your iTunes Libraries and so on. Do you need to carry 30 gigs of movies with you all the time? You can get portable drives the size of an iPhone these days.

I have a macbook pro 10.6.8 system. My hard drive was replaced under warranty. Since then, my computer runs hot. The original hard drive never ran hot. What would cause the new hard drive to run hot?

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. This is my first computer so don't know anything about trouble shooting. A week before the warranty expired, I took my computer to Apple to be checked. I was told that my hard drive was bad and they replaced the hard drive. Since then, my computer runs hot most of the time and the fan is constantly coming on, which is good My computer rarely ran hot with the original hard drive. What would be causing this?

racergirl,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference with the heat?

Always want to keep the boot drive with more free space than may seem necessary for performance and to function at its best, 30-40% free or even 50% is not excessive.
Ideal is to separate your system from your data.
You should always have bootable backup / clone of your system
Don't use a green drive for system or data though.
When you are done cloning system and/or data, remove the old original and keep as backup.
Then move the system drive to #1 - no matter what you want to reset the default boot volume to where the system is.

I want to replace my Mac Pro, original Hard Drive but can not slide it out to replace.

I have copied my Original Hard drive and place a larger drive in a open slot in my Mac Pro, Now I want to take out the Original Drive, but the tray does not slide out. Does any one know why? I got my Mac Pro June 2007. It has two Optical drives and I have filled it with 3 internal Hard drives and 8 gig of memory. all this works and the new Hard drive works just fine, but now want to replace the Original Hard drive, and it will not slide out. any Help?

Make sure you set Startup Disk control panel to the drive you want.
Clone the drive to another drive and have a bootable backup.
SuperDuper, etc to clone.
Repair the drive (from another drive or DVD) and repair permissions (maybe).
Disconnect externals just to rule out.
Ideal boot drive has just OS and applications.
Limit login items.
Startup should be 30 seconds with WD Black 640GB and up.
Note: never mentioned what you planned to use, or how you cloned or setup the boot drive.
What matters is the drive is latest generation, probably 64MB cache (32MB also).
People use SSD 120GB or 10K 150-600GB WD VelociRaptor but most popular is WD Black 1TB probably.

What is the difference between Icloud and Live Drive?

I had purchased for me seperate storage space where by i could download music/pictures to my cyper drive and my Ipad would pick it up. Is this Icloud or Live Drive?

That is livedrive. You cannot use icloud to keep your files online unless the files are generated using iworks. But, icloud is free from apple, 5 gb worth of space. Currently usage is pretty limited, cannot compare wth livedrive, dropbox or sugarsync.

I want to centralize my Itunes Media library to a Mybook Live drive.

I have bought a My Book Live drive as it said I coudl run an iTunes Server. I want to be able to have one central Itunes Media location for all my music and apps etc. So I have moved this to the My Book live. When I open Itunes I see all my music under the LIBRARY and under SHARED/MyBookLive. I don't see my apps or other items? Also if I add a new album to my music library it shows up in both on the PC I add the music from but not on any of the other PC I have in my house. So I want to have a simple solution with all mymusic and apps etc in a single place that looks the same on each of my PC's?
Any ideas

Thanks for the quick reply!
No, I simply went to Itunes, Library, Music. As you mention, I can't click and drag the folder, so I click and drag a section of songs at a time, but then they are all resorted to "by artist" instead of "by title".
All I am trying to do is create space on my internal hard drive by transferring ITunes to an external hard drive (so Time Machine is not an option). Any suggestions, or is what I am trying to do not possible?

Don't have Apple original DVD drive. Now install disks won't boot. What????

The past 3-4 hours, I have tried installing 10.5 (first) 10.4 (as 10.5 failed) from original discs in perfect shape without success.
After seraching help on the net, it seems as if Apple in its incomprehensive wisom is blocking such attempts if the user has been illoyal enough to purchase and install a non-Apple driver.
At http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2956 Apple says:
"Is this this original optical drive? If you have issues, make sure you're using the original Apple optical drive that was included with your computer (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-RW, Combo drive or Super Drive). This is only a concern in three scenarios: if you have replaced your original Apple drive with a non-Apple drive, if you have added a non-Apple drive to the second bay of a Power Mac G4 model with two drive bays, or if you are attempting to install from an external drive."
No, I bought a Pioneer DVD driver (yes, it reads DL). So does that really mean that I cannot make a new installation? And if so, are there any workarounds?

Yes, it shows and mounts. What happens is this:
When trying the "normal" way: inserts the disk, it mounts and opens a window. I click button "install". Computer restarts, starts reading the DVD, but after 10 seconds, it spits it out from the DVD driver and boots from regular system, already installed on hard drive.
When selecting the installation disc from the Startup Disks in the system preferences: Computer restarts, starts reading the DVD, but after 10 seconds, it spits it out from the DVD driver and boots from regular system, already installed on hard drive.
When booting with C key down: starts reading the DVD, but after 10 seconds, it spits it out from the DVD driver and boots from regular system, already installed on hard drive.
When trying Opt key down on boot: starts reading the DVD, but after 10 seconds, it spits it out from the DVD driver and only optional system remaining to boot from is the regular system on the hard drive.

Live drive CT4860 insta

A friend of mine gave me a Li've Dri've model CT4860, I have no idea how to hook it up. I have a SB li've 24bit card in my pc. He told me all I have to do is hook up a 4 pin cd dri've cable from it to my SB card. Anyone know about this?
thanx

Dear Woodstock,
You do not need a driver for the 4860 Li've! Dri've, this unit functions as a break-out box, totally at hardware level.
Ok- nothing I read up til now indicated as much- I thought there were updates available etc for it since it has it's own chip on it's own card etc.
The 4760 Li've! Platinum card has an I/O connector at the end that kind of resembles an IDE connector. If you got one, you can use this to connect your card to the Li've! Dri've. You will need the proper ribbon cable which should have been supplied. Nevertheless, it's not too difficult to make your own, just make sure you got the pins right. The missing wire on both the card and the Li've! Dri've acts as a guide.
Oh- well that has all been set up and everything on it works except for the SPDIF i/o which is why I thought there might be an update that would fix that problem.
Good luck, mate.
Well thank you- at least I can sleep at night knowing that I have everything up to date! Do you have this same setup yourself? If so, can I ask you a few questions about it's The manuals and help files either aren't clear, or do not cover everything. Thank you for replying- was getting quite dim. -w-

Compatibility of Live Drive II with Windows

Can anyone out there help me? My soundblaster card worked fine when I had Windows 98. When I upgraded to 2000 it ceased working and in the end I gave up. Now that I've upgraded again to Windows XP home I'm trying again but when I try to initialise the recording device it tells me it doesn't recognise the soundcard.

Try installing the Li've Uni Dri've package from:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?sOSName=Windows+XP&region=3&Product_N ame=Li've%2+Platinum&Product_ID=3203&modelnumber=& driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=33&y=
The default XP drivers won't recognise the dri've I think.
