ATT Option Ultra Express Card Crashes Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6)

My Macbook Pro ran hot from continual SyncServer issues and Disk Utility Permissions that were unrepairable in Mac OS 10.5.8 Disk Utility.
So I upgraded to Snow Leopard and the Permissions pretty much cleared up, but a new problem arose:
My AT&T Option Ultra Express Card crashes Mac 10.6 as soon as it is inserted in the MP Pro, even after removing Globetrotter and launch2net software.
It seems as if Option needs to release a firmware upgrade to work with Snow Leopard, or Apple needs to sort out the incompatibility of Express Cards.
Until then, I'm paying AT&T monthly for mobile Internet service that is now unusable.

Since I've updated to Snow Leopard I've the same problem: CS4 crashes every time I quit it, but it seems to work properly.

Expansion Box _ Multiple Graphic cards Crash

Hello
I have this configuration: I work on Octane render With Maxon Cinema 4D. I bought an expansion box to have 4 extra Titan's card to speed my render.
Adobe CS6 coud run side by side with this conf runing.
Since my update to Adobe CC, Premiere pro check graphic cards present on the computer and don't understand whats going on with the box plug in the second PCI express card. So premiere Crash every time my box is on.
So in my Workflow I'm obiged to shut down the box every time I want to work with Premiere.
My Question:
Where I can ask to an engineer to lean over my problem, to have the oportunity to Premiere do do like in CS6 and use only one graphic card. It certainly be easy to check or uncheck this option in the pref.
With the futur Mac pro it will have this problem too because the expansion box will be obliged.

Everytime I start up Photoshop, my graphic card Crashes!

So when I start up Photoshop it starts loading the items and stuff but than I believe it gets to the 3D Stuff or Something when my Graphic Card Crashes. My Graphics Card is an AMD Radeon HD 6410D I've tried to update it but no Updates found for it(It's up to date) So can it not handle this? (The Error message it gives me is The Graphics card has stopped but recovered) Or something like that.

I went to the site, downloaded the installer, Installed it, checked to see if it still crashes and it does. Oh well... I guess I'll just live with it. Do you know anyway to FULLY Disable 3D Graphics because I believe that's what's causing the crashing.

T420s Nvidia Graphics Card & Express Card Questions

Hello, and thank you for checking out my post. My apologies for writing a book, but I'm hoping to give as much detail as needed the first go round.
I just received my custom-built T420s (4170-CTO) and have a couple technical questions/concerns about it. The details of my configuration are located at the bottom of this post.
First off, one of the deciding factors of my purchase was the discrete graphics card. On the T420s I chose NVIDIA NVS 4200M Optimus Graphics 1GB, Intel Core i7-2620M Processor. I was thrilled to have more than 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory for my games. Upon receiving my laptop, though, I ran the Windows Experience Index and saw that the lowest score was the graphics card, which is identified as Intel HD Graphics Family and has 64 MB of dedicated graphics memory. After my heart started beating again I checked Device Manager and found under Display both Intel HD Graphics Family and NVIDIA NVS 4200M listed as working with up-to-date drivers. When I configured the laptop online there was no mention of hybrid graphics, so I'm not sure why I have an Intel Graphics card on the machine. My current laptop that I was looking to replace is a T61p with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics card, and only that NVIDIA card is shown under Device Manager and in the Windows Experience / Performance Information. Thinking that perhaps disabling the Intel card would cause the NVIDIA card to take over, I disabled that through Device Manager. My screen went black and after feeling quite stupid I rebooted my computer. The default Windows Display driver kicked in, allowing me to see well enough to get back to Device Manager and enable the Intel Graphics. I counted myself lucky that I wasn't stuck with a working computer with a blank screen, but I'm still confused about why the NVIDIA card isn't the only display adapter on the machine, and why it isn't the default/main adapter. Most importantly, will it be usable to run my games?
My second question is regarding the PCI ExpressCard slot. My aim for this machine was to have a HDD to store my data (I selected the 320GB 7200 RPM HDD) and a SSD to boot and run my programs from. Another reason for choosing this machine was the comment on Lenovo's site stating that a user booted his T420s from a solid state drive in the PCI ExpressCard slot, which was exactly was I was looking for. I need the CD/DVD drive, so I can't put the second hard drive in a caddy. During configuration I chose the option for an Express Card Slot & 4 in 1 Card Reader & Smart Card Reader. From what I can tell, the Express Card slot is not connected to the Card Readers and I will not lose use of those ports. When I opened the computer up to install more RAM, I saw what is labeled in Lenovo's hardware manual as the Express Card slot, apparently empty - which is great! Now I need to figure out what kind of SSD to look for, and on that I'm kinda lost.
I'm guessing that my ExpressCard slot is 34mm and PCI form factor rather than USB... but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a not-incredibly-educated guess. I'm also not sure where mSATA comes into play for me, if at all. Looking at SSDs on sites such as newegg.com, I'm unsure of what form factor to choose - ExpressCard, PCI-E, mSATA, and/or 1.8"?
The tech specs of my configured T420s (copy/pasted from the order status) are as follows. I hope this means more to you than it does to me.

Thanks!

The T420s with Nvidia GPU has two graphics card that can switch on the fly, if you only want the discrete gpu, just go into your bios menu under graphics there is an option to select discrete.
With the Nvidia Optimus (which is what you have), it can switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU depending on your application needs. This will allow you to conserve battery or power.
Expresscard slot 34 mm slot is occupied by the card reader that you ordered.
What you are talking about within the ram slot cover, is the mPCIe slot, which can be occupied by a mSATA drive.

IMAC 24Inch with NVidia 256 MB graphics card CRASHED NO SCREEN STARTUP HELP

HI there, wondering if anyone has had their nvidia GT graphics card crash then the screen go black?
I got home tonight, my ali imac 24inch, looks like its off, I turn it on, everything boots up but no
screen. Ive shared the screen through my macbook and look at the system info and it says under graphics displays "No information found" What does this mean? Has my graphics card destroyed itself?
It better not have! HELP!!!

Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

FP11 - Graphics Card Crashes

Hi Adobe,
I'm experiencing regular graphics card crashes when viewing Molehill demos using the latest FP release 11.0.1.3d.
For instance, these demos cause my entire screen to go black for 5 seconds and crash my whole browser:
http://www.ringo.nl/projects/away3d/broomstick/LoaderOBJTest.html
http://blam3d.com/demos/f16uvtest.html
Any also, I can't watch any videos on Vimeo and half the time, youTube videos won't play for me.
I've lodged bugs for these issues in Jira:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7191
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7192
But I'd like to know from Adobe, will these crashes go away when FP11 is released? There are so many different PC/Graphics Card combinations, will Adobe be able to ensure that Molehill applications won't cause crashes?
My team has invested a lot of time in a big app that uses Molehill, but we are getting very nervous seeing so many crashes - please re-assure me and my team that FP11 Molehill will be rock solid at the time of release!

obviously its NOT fine, and stability in a handful of other applications means jack.
different applications apply different load in different manners to the hardware.
There is an evident history of improperly configured hardware or actual hardware combinations causing problems in D3D but not in OpenGL, or in OpenGL but not in D3D.
such is the case with a VIA KT600 and an nvidia GFX card at AGP 8x causing graphical corruption and crashes in D3D that never occured in opengl, or an overclocked i7 that absolutely only ever hung in opengl apps but not in direct3d apps(voltage insufficient).
The sooner people stop blinding themselves to the realities of just how much a precise configuration matters, the sooner they'll fix their own problems.
Seriously, if i can deploy flash across a wide assortment of hardware configurations and not get crashes or blackscreens, then its definitely saying about the configurations of the denialists who claim their system is fine.

(bootcamp) graphics card crash when playing games

Firstly apologies if I've put this in the wrong section of the forum... this is the most applicable I could find.
Having tried to enquire at the good folks of AMD, they told me I needed to see apple. Finding a support email is nigh on impossile - so either that or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
I have a boot camp partition on a mid 2011 macbook pro - my graphics card is Radeon HD 6750M.
I have recently been experiencing graphics card crashes when playing games.
There is no boot camp update available, so I am forced to update the driver manually. Trying to use the automated detection/installation tool on the ATI site resulted in the error "your computer doesn't have a proper graphics adapter"
When I located and downloaded the mac bootcamp drivers from the ATI site site, and I tried to install these it was unable to detect my existing microsoft C++ distributable or install its own - so the installation failed.
All advice welcome!

yeah - it *might* have fixed my issue - or at least it hasn't crashed yet... jynxed it now ofcourse ;p I have acouple of questions though...
Why did this just start happening - I've played other games and this game before without these crashing issues?
I'm worried about configuring this fan thing correctly - lots of 'if your hardware gets damages it's not my problem' warnings on the software site. I know there's only 4 options - how do I ensure I select the right one? ie I thought I had a unibody macbook pro but it can't find the second GPU?

USB/eSata express card not working on stock kernel

Hello everyone,
I have a weird problem and I don't seem to find any solution by myself. Let me give you some background info on what I plan to do.
I purchased an express card to eSata/USB 3.0 adapter and want to make it work on my laptops. Precisely, it is this card: http://www.amazon.de/Notebook-Express-C … B007F8TXZ8
1: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Ubuntu 14.04 amd64
2: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Debian 7 amd64
3: Lenovo X200T (1,6GHz) running ArchLinux amd64
The card does work fine only on the Ubuntu machine. I would like to make it run on the two other ones as well. I thought I might get help here getting it to work on machine 3 and then transfer the results to machine 2. What really matters to me is eSata, btw, I do not even have a USB 3.0 device to test with.
First of all, here's what happens when I plug the card into machine 1:

Apart from the supposedly found block device (can't judge) I am not sure if there is anything that is really eSata specific and not USB 3.0 related.
So far what I think I can tell from the output is that the modules
pciehp pci pcieport
seem to be dealing with the express card as such whereas
xhci_hcd
takes care of USB 3.0. I cannot see any clear reference to the eSata connector, which might not be surprising if the bus is just passed through (again: not sure).
For completeness' sake here comes the output of

Sticking to my suspicion that this might just be a USB related issue and eSata might still work due to some sort of passthrough, I attached the very eSata drive that I could mount on Ubuntu. It did not work.
I then researched and found this blog post: http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1360
So I downloaded the pkgbuild for the arch linux core kernel and checked the config. It matched the recommendations.
Another hint I found was to unload acpiphp and force-reload it. However, this tip does not seem to apply to the arch kernel:
[user@3-arch:~$ sudo rmmod acpiphp
rmmod: ERROR: Module acpiphp is builtin.
Anyone any idea on how to make the card work?
Thank you!

For anyone else seeking help on that: Card slot was deactivated in 2/3 Bioses.

ESata express card. - opinions wanted

I've got a Lacie 1.5Terabyte HD and a Lacie eSata express card. I have created 2 partitions on HD, one for installing MAc OS X and the other one for data. Inserted Mac OS X disk that came with Mac, restarted Mac, boot up fine but the Lacie drive is not shown in the list of drives I can choose from to install the OS on. Am I correct if I say that is because the Express Card needs its driver to function ? Connected the drive with fire wire and installed the OS, connected drive to eSata card again. When I go to preferences, I can select the Lacie drive to start up from but the computer do not start up from it, it start up from internal HD, Am I correct if I say it is because the eSate express card is only seen by the Mac after the driver is loaded ?

Got this when I shut the card off while in iTunes :

Satellite P300-220 (PSPCCE) and express card with firewire

I have problems with a shared IRQ between firewire (IEEE1394) connector and ati radeon 4600 mobility.(the IRQ used by both device is the 16)
This sharing make my firestudio presonus (sound card external via firewire) problems while reading music on my DAO.
I would like to buy an express card to solve this problem but i must be sure than it will not be the same IRQ (16) than the other firewire connection.
If you are using such a card please verify wich IRQ is used when it's connected on the laptop.
You can see it with the device manager.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
The Windows OS controls and assigns automaticity all recourses to all controllers!
In my case the SD host controller and the graphic card shares the same IRQ 16 and there is NO conflict.
So I doubt that your issue is related to the same IRQ which is uses by graphic card and firewire.
Sorry but this is everything what I can suggest regarding your issue

RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader=Unassigned class [ff00] dv6t-7000

Hello everyone. I am having issues with the built-in card reader in my HP dv6t-7000. I know that this kind of question has been asked before, but I am unable to find a solution. I am new to Arch, but have used almost ALL other distros. Arch is the first Linux on my laptop. Now down to the details.

The card reader class is Unassigned. Why? I followed this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206464 and installed the realtek driver with no sucess. dmesg shows no changes. The card reader is basically ignored.
according to lsmod the module is active.
rts5229 299012
What should I do?

same fix. Didn't work for me. Should I try rtsx_pci instead?

Must reseat My x-fi express card every time I restart my computer

AMust reseat My x-fi express card every time I restart my computerW I am forced to reseat my x-fi express notebook card every time I turn my computer on in order for it to work which is very frustrating since I do a lot of video recording by Firewire and need the card to work reliably. Once i reseat it into the express slot, it works fine, but not before then.
I have a Dell XPS M730 running XP sp3.
It is apparently a driver problem because if I forget to reseat during bootup, both Sony Sound Forge and Adobe Premiere Pro .5 freeze up when I try to load them at they are scanning for audio devices.
So far I've tried:
1) disabling the on-board sound card hoping to eliminate a possbile confilct.
2. Downloading the latest drivers, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of how to solve the problem?
Thanks

1. If you log in automatically, a bug in some versions of OS X will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only known workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
2. If the selected Desktop picture is stored in an iPhoto library on an external drive, export it from iPhoto and move it to a folder on the startup volume. (Credit for this solution to ASC member janay.)
3. If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
4. If you have a MacBook Pro with automatic graphics switching, disable it temporarily in the Energy Saver preference pane, set the Desktop picture, then restart the computer and re-enable graphics switching.
5. If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
          Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
          Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
          Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

Ok, so now I need a new eSATA PCI Express Card for my Mac Pro

I have a Seagate eSata External Drive which comes with an eSATA PCI card.
The http://www.cwol.com/serial-ata/esata-pci-express-1-ext-1-int.htm site recommends this card: eSATA PCI Express Card - 1 eSATA II and 1 Internal SATA II Port, but it doesn't specify whether it works on a Mac Pro - any suggestions?
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi
I think the Radeon 9800 is certainly the most powerful graphics card you could buy for your G4 and would do everything you need.
Just be aware there are at least 3 different Mac versions though.
There's a G5 version, the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition, which is 8X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
There's an older Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 128MB VRAM.
Finally there's a newer Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
So long as you get one of the 2X/4X AGP versions, either with 128MB or 256MB VRAM, it should work fine.
It's perhaps also worthwhile mentioning they do require a separate internal power connection, although this can be taken from a hard drive molex power connector. Also they have a cooling fan which can be noisy.
I hope this helps.

Express34 Card crashes Leopard

After installing Leopard, the MBPro will boot and run successfully only if I remove my eSATA II Dual Ports Express Card/34 Host from the slot. If I insert this card, the machine crashes. I have looked on the internet at Silicon Image for the latest drivers for Si3132 chipset and there is nothing new (I downloaded and tried 1.1.9 and 1.5.16 just for drill, but it doesn't change the problem. I think I was running 1.1.9 which I downloaded last December when I set it up). Now I can't access my RAID 10 array with all my Final Cut Pro capture scratch files. Is there a workaround? Pending a new Si driver, is there any info on Express34 drivers for Leopard? Thanks. Andy. Happy Holidays.

OK. Here's what I've done.
Spent almost 2 hours with Apple Tech Support ... they had ideas but no solution.
I have done an Archive Install of Leopard from the disk (10.5). After some minor hiccups with the BSOD requiring doing the install twice, I finally got a happy complete install. I then upgraded to 10.5.1
Then I reinstalled all the applications that wouldn't run anymore. So there I was, with a happy 10.5.1 install and everything happy. I used Time Machine and backed it up to another drive (FW800).
Then I took the disk from Sonnet that comes with the new Express34 card I bought ($100) and loaded it. Rebooted (even though it doesn't prompt you to) and then inserted the card. Then spun up the first drive in the 2 drive RAID10 array.
It still crashed the MacBook Pro. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sonnet product page says (footnote2 @ http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposataexpress34.html )
some jibberish about my Western Digital Caviar RE2 drives aren't designed for RAID implementation.
Of course, they have been working just fine as a RAID 10 array under Tiger with the no name Silicon Image chipset card I had in there before (see first post in the thread).
So Monday when I call Sonnet, I already have a feeling that they are going to tell me that's what the problem. Meanwhile, all my Final Cut Pro capture scratch and a whole bunch of other stuff is on those drives. Am I screwed or what? Any ideas? After Sonnet blows me off, how do I fix this?
Buying a pair of new drives won't save me reripping hours and hours of material, not to mention the
500 bucks I have invested in those 2 drives. Talk about frustrating ... Have a nice weekend.
