SB X-Fi Fatal1ty XtremeGamer Pro not detected in Vista

I have purchased the above card and installed it. Vista locates it as new hardware, but the X-Fi Driver install does not see it.Config:<blockquote dir="ltr">ASUS Stiker ExtremeIntel Core2 Duo 2.44Ghz (Liquid Cooled)2Gb RAMNVidia 8600 GTSVista 32[/quote]Ok, Here is what I have tried so far:?
Reseated card - No Go<
Changed PCI Slots - No Go<
D/L newest Drivers from Creative - No Go<
Cleaned gold finger connector? - No Go<
So, the only slot I have not tried it in is the 3rd PCI-E x6.
Any help would be great.

Have a browse through these, I know that the 680i has had problems.

Mac Pro not Detecting Bootable USB Drive to Install Snow Leopard 10.6

Hi
I have to Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon. I have been running Leopard on them. I wish to install snow leopard, so i took out my USB HDD where I have made a Bootable Partition with snow leopard. I have used this in the past on all my machines to install snow leopard. Now when I try to install Snow Leopard from this on my mac pro, it does not detect in the "Option Boot" start up menu, it only shows my leopard disk. If I got to start up disk in system preference, then it shows my Snow Leopard disk, but when i select that as start up, it still boots to my Leopard..
Since I am doing a fresh Install , I have another HDD installed, formatted for snow leopard. When I launch snow leopard installer from Leopard and select install in the new drive, it does some installation , but when restarting it goes to my leopard again.
This is the case on both the Mac Pro;s, but not on my laptops, I tried on my air and my macbook pro, and my friends mac book pro, it instantly boots up to the usb drive with snow leopard.
So is there anything im missing ? Or is there something wrong with my Mac Pro's?
I dont have the snow leopard DVD, else I would have tried that too..
Please advice asap!!
Thanks
Sa1

Hey
Thanks for the reply!
I have two USB HDD, with the copy from snow leopard dvd, and both are formatted in GUID, they work fine on my laptops and even the old mac mini, just not working on two identical Mac Pros.. Its very strange, as it keeps booting to leopard, and if I remove leopard Disk, and just put the new one and connect the USB dive, its shows a folder with a "?" mark sign!
And the USB just works fine after its booted to leopard, it even starts installing snow leopard to the disk i assign, but it does not complete the installation as it boots to main leopard drive..
I have tried to reset PRAM on both machine, I have changed usb slot..
I dont know what to do!

MacBook Pro not detecting display resolution properly on Leopard 10.5.2

I have a 15" 2.2ghz MacBook Pro that I recently upgraded to Leopard. When I am home, I connect the MBP to a USB keyboard and mouse, and a Samsung 226BW 22" display using a DVI cable. Prior to the Leopard upgrade, I could connect the components, close the MBP, hit the spacebar on the USB KB and the MBP would wake up using the Samsung in its native resolution of 1680x1050.
Since the upgrade there are two major problems. I can no longer wake the MBP up with the KB. It sounds like it is waking up, the Apple logo illuminates for a moment, then it immediately goes back to sleep. Secondly, the MBP is not detecting the correct resolution of the monitor. It shows both as being 1440x900 no matter what. Under the system profiler, it has exactly the same description for both the MBP display as well as the Samsung 22". I have already read other posts and performed the following:
Reset the SMC
Reset the VRAM
Trashed the windowserver.plist and rebooted
Any ideas on why this may be happening? Thanks in advance.

You are not alone. Spent over an hour with AppleCare support. The engineer was fantastic, but when he got out of his area of expertise and tried to take me to level 2 support, the level 2 folks said 'contact samsung' That's obviously a delay tatic. This is very clearly a 10.5.2 upgrade issue. My external 24 inch samsung display was working fine prior to the upgrade and now it's stuck on 1440X900. They took me through PRAM resets, cache clearing, plist removal etc.
Very disappointed to see Apple take a very microsoft like stance to a problem that is obviously a bug in the graphics drivers for 10.5.2. The engineer also indicated that this was a known issue, but the docs on it are 'eyes only'. I question that culture as well.

Macbook pro not detecting iphone 4s

My new macbook pro will detect and charge my classic iPod through a USB cable but will not even detect my iPhone 4s with the same cable. I have tried other usb cables that charge my phone daily and they will still not help detect my computer detect it.

Macbook Pro Not detecting my FireWire

Hello,
I just had an accident a few months ago that caused many of the ports of my MacBook Pro to be crushed, however, i had the ports and logic board replaced so it should be working now. However, when i plugged in my FireWire to import a video i had shot on my Camcorder, the camera detected the FireWire but my Mac did not. I tried rebooting to solve the issue, but for some reason my Mac is not detecting the FireWire at all. The FireWire is an Apple WireFire 800 and the camera it is connected to is a Canon VIXIA HV30. I need to use my FireWire for University Classes and an internship i have. How can i fix this?

This camera is supported. You need a Firewire Cable. For FW400, you need a 4 pin to 6 pin cable. For FW 800 you need 4 pin to 9 pin cable. When going down from 6 pins (or 9) to 4, you lose the pins that provide power. So your camcorder must be plugged in to wall power (not batteries). Make sure your camcorder is in Playback mode.
Open iMovie. If it is not detected automatically in a miinute or two, try clicking on the camera icon at the left of the middle bar.

DVD Drive not detected after Vista reinstall/recover

Hi,
I was having various problems with my computer (dv6815nr) so I did a complete recovery using the recovery image
on the hard drive. Everything seems to work now except the dvd drive is not working. it is not detected in device manager.
I have tried all the fixes and "mr. fix its" that i could find on the ms knowledge forum. i have also checked the registry for the upper/lower filters as described on the ms website and also in this forum. i have also removed, rebooted, shutoff and then reinstalled the drive with no results. any help would be greatly appreciated.
gocd1

yes, the drive was working immediately before the recovery. I noticed that the drive was not working when i went to install the windows ultimate upgrade disc. drive lights up, spins disc and then nothing. Also, i have physically removed the drive from the computer, shut off computer removed power supply (cord and battery) held down power button for 30 seconds restart computer with drive not in computer and then shutoff again and physically reinstall drive. Also have done uninstall of all IDE/ATA controllers channels in device manager and then restart as recommended on another post. looked on another hp6700 and found "cd/dvd" on device manager list and mine does not have that. so not sure why dvd drive would be in ide/ata channel list.

Acrobat 9 Pro not detecting differences

I'm comparing two PDF's, Acrobat 9 Pro, two pages only, magazine layout. They were both created from InDesign CS4 on the same Mac using the same settings. There is one text change in a paragraph, one word, colour changed from black to red, regular to bold.
Acrobat hasn't detected the change. Tried all three detection settings.
Any ideas?

Do you get a message if you try to open Acrobat directly? It sounds like you did not activate the product.

Mac Pro not detecting internal HD. Blinking Question Mark!!

Hi there,
Ive been looking for an answer about my problem but it seems most of the people has got the problem; the hard drive might be damaged. Thats not my case.
Ive got two Mac Pros. One is working flawlessly. So I swaped HDs to see what happened and when I turned on the computer, the good MAC detected the hard drive of the failing computer and I logged in normally. When I turned on the failing computer with the good HD, it didnt read it. In conclusion I realized that there was not a HD problem, something else is going on.
After that, using the good Mac PRo, I installed both HDs and both were detected. This confirmed that definitely, the HDs are Ok. Whats wrong?? I dont know, hope you people can help me.
Thanks a lot.

The blinking question mark says you could not find:
The preferred System
of the preferred version
on the preferred drive.
All these parameters are stored in Parameter RAM, and sometimes they get damaged "just because".
If you use
System Preferences > Startup Disk ...
... to set the correct startup disk again. your problems may be over.
If not, you may need to reset the PRAM.
If that does not solve the problem in the long run, you may need to replace the PRAM backup battery.

MacBook Pro not detecting flash drive

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro laptop (latest model) and I've encountered a bit of a problem with it.
When I plug a USB flash drive into either of the USB ports on the laptop, the computer fails to detect the drive and show it on the desktop.
However, when connected to my Thunderbolt Display and with the USB drive connected through the monitor or even through the keyboard (which is connect to the monitor) the laptop detects the USB drive without any issues. Also when I connect the keyboard directly into the laptop via USB and then plug the USB drive into the keyboard it detects it just fine.
The problem only occurs when plugging the USB drive directly into one of the laptop ports.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you

vas12345 wrote:
Yeah, it's just one drive. I think I figured out what the problem is. The USB drive is very old and cheap, most likely USB 2.0 but the ports on the MacBook Pro are USB 3.0 so there might be a compatibility problem.
In theory that should not be the case since USB3 is supposed to be backwards compatible to USB2. Perhaps the solution is to copy the data to a new device and trash the old drive. At least the cost will not be excessive.
Ciao.

Macbook pro not detecting my hard drive

I have been using this 500GB WD Hard disk and it has been working properly. However, it is not being detected today when I plugged it in.
I have tried methods like "automatically fixing errors" at PCs and checked it on Disk Utility, unfortunately it is still not working. I have important files in it and what should I do?
Thanksss x

eww's suggestion may seem a bit rash, but I've found that to be the case also. My WD external's enclosure also fried.
I bought OWC's FW hard drive encloser. You can put in your own drive(s) (I bought Seagate drives from OWC) depending on whether you want a single drive backup, dual or RAID. I bought the OWC Mercury Elite...great enclosure rated top in all my Mac magazines. What's nice about these is, if the drive goes bad you can replace it yourself and not have to get rid of the whole unit (like what happened to my Western Digital FW Ext. drive last time!). OWC's enclosures have Oxford chipsets which are totally Mac friendly. They also work for Windows machines. OWC also backs up their products...no arguing involved.

Macbook Pro not detecting USB network interface for iPhone 4S

Hi all.
I have an iPhone4S and my service provider is Vodafone India. I was able to share my internet 3G connection (Personal Hotspot) via USB with my Macbook Pro until recently. I am running Lion. I am not able to do so anymore for some inexplicable reason. It still works fine with Wifi and Bluetooth, but no Internet via USB. I tried deleting the networkinterfaces.plist as someone suggested but no luck.
Am at my wits end. I am sure its not the Phone and I am sure the USB ports are ok since I can connect via USB stick dongle modems from 2 different service providers. But they are bboth dial up types.
Just the iPhone does nbot seem to work since it is supposed to connect automatically.
Help please....anybody...
Thanks a ton for any feedback in advance.

Macbook Pro not detecting external display

I can't seem to make this work. I'm using a MiniDP-DVI cable which is plugged into an DVI cable plugged into an external monitor. I know it works because I have tried it on other computers and it has worked on the Macbook (erratically).
I've reset the PRAM several times and it has not fixed the problem. I did it in this order:
1. Remove adapter from computer
2. Shutdown
3. Press Option Command P R until the second chime is heard.
4. Log on as usual
5. Reconnect adapter to MBP
This is what the system log states when I plug the adapter in:

I had the exact same behavior and log and I solved the issue by replacing the MiniDP-DVI adapter. I tried the "broken" adapter on another set of laptop+display and it was working there, so that made me think the adapter was ok, when apparently it was not.

MacBook Pro not detect OS X bootable USB

I make the bootable USB in disk utility in OS X recovery beacuse i can't boot to my mac. but my mac can't detect my bootable USB when i hold (option) key while boot up.

Hello there, Tomzvvip.
The following Knowledge Base provides another way to boot up to that device:
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
How to choose the startup volume
Follow these steps:
Turn on, or restart, your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manager should appear. The Startup Manager scans for available volumes.
Use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to select the volume you would like to use.
Press the Return key on your keyboard to start up the computer from the volume you selected.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
