Surface Pro Driver injection no longer working under MDT 2013

Since upgrading to MDT 2013 we are experiencing an issue with deploying Windows 8.1 to our Surface Pros. The deployment seems to be ignoring driver group settings in CS.ini and it basically injects no drivers. We are following the guide Microsoft posed here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826
So I'm confused as to where we are going wrong. Here is the section in question from CS.ini:
[ByModel]
Subsection=Model-%Model%
[Model-Surface with Windows 8 Pro]
OSDComputerName=TAB%SerialNumber%
DriverGroup001="Windows 8.1 x64\Microsoft\Surface Pro"
DriverSelectionProfile=Nothing
XResolution=1920
YResolution=1080
Incidentally the computer name is getting set so i know this block is working. Any idea why the drivers would get skipped over?

I've been deploying to Surface tablets just fine and deployed to a Surface 3 just a couple days ago without any issues, but I do follow Johan's "Total control" way of managing drivers. http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/112/MDT-2013-Lite-Touch-Driver-Management.aspx
I'd recommend you go that way as well as you'll most likely have fewer issues. Depending on your situation you may also want to make use of the "ModelAliasExit" script and use Make variables or you can just follow the method above exactly as is.

For %TaskSequenceID% no longer working in MDT 2013.

I've used the blogs by Michael Niehaus to get MDT 2010 and MDT 2012 LTI deployment wizard application selection profiles working.
I'm now running MDT 2013 and when following the instructions here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2012/09/04/revisiting-lti-deployment-wizard-application-selection-profiles.aspx, the MDT Wizard Displays the error: "No task sequences are available (TaskSequences.xml does not exist, is empty, or is inaccessible)."

Updating the deployment share seems to have resolved the issue.

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

"Older" apps no longer work under 10.7

Filemaker pro 7, Toast and Photoshop CS3 no longer work under 10.7. Is there any way to make these work or will I have to go back to OS 10.6?

Time for an update.
I'd scrap Toast. And CS 5.5 and FileMaker Pro 11 are way better than the older versions you have, and will run substantially faster as native applicaitons.
Though I thought CS3 was actually a Universal application and thus _should_ run on Lion (albeit not supported any more)

CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop

Hi! I am having problems with my HP desktop computer and wonder if someone can help me solve this issue.
My CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop. When I tried to test my CD/DVD drive to ensure it it was working properly , When I clicked to open Hardware Diagnostic Tools and it said "The software program is not found". The CD/DVD drive was working but will not respond or recognize that a disk is in the drive. It states insert disk in drive. Where are my diagnostic tools that are missing?

Hi,
Your Seagate update CD is to update the firmware for Seagate hard drives.
Did you try the tips in the post that I referenced above?
Error 31 indicates that the driver is not installing correctly.
Go to Device Manager, locate the CD/DVD drive, open up the CD/DVD drive, double click, click on the Driver tab, then uninstall the driver. Now reboot your PC and Windows will re-install the driver.

Hello, I changed my Imac hard drive which no longer worked. I installed a hard drive

install OS X 10.4.2 on the hard drive, I do not see the disk. What is the problem?

Thanks for the help
I started on the installation CD OS X 10.4.2, I used Disk Utility
to partition the disk according to the document that you have proposed. unfortunately
I have not succeeded. When I partition the disk, even if I called it Macintosh HD, it
does not keep the name and it shows disk0s3 instead. I did an erase on disk.
When I mount the disk it tells me that I must repair. When I tried to repair, I got
the following message:
Volume check failed
The underflying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
I also had a message:
Invalid b-tree node size.
Note: The disc is new, but it has already been formatted on a computer Imac 27 inch 2011 OS X Lion.
I used a USB 2.0 to SATA cable to adjust the formatting.
What to do to fix it?

XITEL HiFi-Link AN1 No Longer Working Under 10.4.6

My XITEL HiFi-Link is no longer working under 10.4.6.
This USB sound device is selected as my output device.
I have tried both USB ports - no sound.
Both USB ports function properly with other input devices.
Any Ideas?

Kernel 3.13.7 contains the patch to fix this bug, from here on the mailing list: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/20/819
So now I don't have to hold back my kernel anymore, and this issue is resolved. Woopee!

Drive Mode no longer works on my LifeDrive

Ever since upgrading to 10.4.9, Drive Mode no longer works on my iMac. Syncing continues to work fine. Lots of other people on the Palm forums are having the same problem since upgrading to 10.4.9. Did something change in the way the OS handles mountable drives that could be causing this problem?

I have same problem with Palm T5 and MacBook since 10.4.9

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

GPIB-ENET driver 1.10 no longer works under Windows 2000 service pack 2

I have used my GPIB-ENET adapters with Windows 2000. However, since I installed service pack 2, the GPIB driver 1.10 no longer works. It seems to install correctly and puts the GPIB icon in the Control Panel. After a reboot, however, the icon is gone from the control panel ! It is even gone from the install/remove programs box. I have tried this on two PC's with the same result. This is really bad as my GPIB-ENET boxes are now useless. Can you help with this?

Thanks for the advice, but the 1.20 drivers cannot be downloaded. They must be purchased for $80 US. I have already paid many thousands of dollars for three GPIB-ENET adapters plus LabVIEW. This is really shabby. I know of no other company that charges for driver updates once you have bought the hardware. I should have bought the Tektronix adapters instead.

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

Hey hvbnfrgvn,
Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.
Best of luck and have a great day!

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

Sync no longer working under 10.6.3

I can no longer sync under 10.6..3 to MobileMe, it worked perfectly prior to the update. When I open my address book I get the following pop up box stating:
You need to replace your Contact Information on MobileMe. There is a box to click on that says "Replace". When I click on the box nothing happens.
I went to the preferences pane and selected MobileMe-Sync-Advanced and invoked Reset Sync Data. That also did not work. I went to MobileMe using Safari and deleted all my contacts and tried everything again and nothing worked again. So I am stuck and unable to upload or sync from my computer to MobileMe. Incidentally, I also tried to run all the scripts using Cocktail and cleared all the caches. Any more ideas for me?

I can't find anything in the specs that indicates this model is supported for Macintosh.
as said worked fine under 10.5 and 10.4 on differtn Mac machines.
a firmware upgrade from LG.
can only be done under Windooz, correct? or can you do this on a Mac?
Have you tried it with USB just to verify whether or not it works that way?
just did, USB option works.

Surface Pro pen pressure is not working in Photoshop

I just bought Microsoft Photoshop.
But Adobe Photoshop doesn't provide pen pressure sensitivity.
I tested Microsoft OneNote, Fresh Paint, and Autodesk Sketchbook. They are working well.
Please provide the pen pressure function in Photoshop too.

On the Main photoshop forum, one of the Adobe staff is stating that the issue is with Microsoft and not Adobe. I can not see the code nor do I own a surface pro therefore I can not confirm nor deny it. In other words, I am a poor lonely user with the same access as every other user. LOL.

Macbook pro (early 2008): Trackpad not working under Windows XP

My Trackpad worked regularly under Windows (Bootcamp) and Mac OSx until some months ago my Motherboard had to be exchanged because of a fault function of the graphics card. When I started Macintosh after the Macbook pro was repaired the Trackpad worked regularly, but under windows the mouse didn't react to moving the finger or clicking. I reinstalled the drivers, but this didn't fix the problem.
What shall i do now? Thank you for any advices.

since my mac is year and two months old (funny, two months and you are screwed).
Not if you had of purchased Apple Care. You would have been covered for 3 years.
What I would like to say to the Apple:
This is not the place as Apple does not come to these forums.
These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post "technical" questions and offer answers to each other voluntarily. No one here works for Apple nor does Apple get involved in responding. Not even sure if they "lurk."
