Unable to install Microsoft drivers for keyboard

I purchased a split Microsoft keyboard last night for my Macbook Pro.  (Oh how I wish Apple would release an ergonomic keyboard.  I love the style of the aluminum keyboard, by my wrists can take it anymore.)  I went to Microsoft.com to install the drivers and dowloaded the DMG file, however when I try to install them, I get the following error:  "“Microsoft Desktop.mpkg” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.  Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.  Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  I followed the Apple help instructions to open the file, but it still wouldn't install.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

Thanks, Sig.  That helped.  I was able to install the software, but my MBP still isn't recognizing the keyboard or at least naming it as the Microsoft one.  Oh, well.  Looks like this one is being returned becaue the spacebar is too hard to strike anyway.

  • Unable to install XP drivers for Deskjet 3650 on Windows 7

    I have a HP Deskjet 3650 that is connected via USB to my main computer running Windows 7.  I can print without problems I am having problems sharing this printer with 2 other computers running Windows XP.  I have downloaded the drivers for XP and extracted them onto the Windows 7 computer.  
    On the properties of the HP Deskjet 3600 Series printer, I have clicked on the Sharing tab.  
    Share this Printer and Render print jobs on client computers are both checked.
    When I click on Additional Drivers, only X64 is checked and says yes under installed.
    The other two options (Itanium and x86) are both unchecked and say no under installed.
    I tried checking x86 and clicking OK.  I'm then prompted to install print drivers and Browse to where the print drivers are located.  I browse to the 3600/enu/drivers/win2k_xp folder and see hpf3600k.inf   When I click Open, and select OK, I get a Selected Printer Driver Not Found Error  which says The specified location does not contain the driver hp deskjet 3600 series (LIDIL) for the requested processor architecture.
    On one of the XP machines, I have installed the printer software and am only able to print if I physically plug the printer into it.
    On the other XP machine, I have not installed the printer software but I have download and extracted the drivers.  When I click on the Add Printer Wizard and select the printer on the network, it tells me that I am about to connect to a printer on the Windows 7 computer and says that it will automatically install a print driver on my machine.  I click Yes to allow it to continue and it tells me that the server for the hp deskjet 3600 printer does not have the correct printer driver installed and that I can click OK  to search for the proper driver.  I click OK and browse to the folder that I extracted the drivers to and see that hpf3600k.inf is located in the folder and click OK and I get a Install Driver Error window that says Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver.  Contact your administrator for help locating and installing a suitable driver.
    So, it appears to me that the driver that I am downloading from the hp site for Windows XP is not the appropriate driver, am I wrong here? 
    How can I get this printer to work print on all 3 computers without having to move it from one to the other.  The printer has to be physically connected to the Windows 7 machine as the other 2 are in the kids' rooms.
    This question was solved.

    Try the following: on the XP machine go to the Printers and Faxes folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the shared computer and printer), OK, then click on have disk and point at the directory where you have unzipped the XP driver.
    On the XP machine you have already installed the driver do the following:  go to the Printer and Faxes directory, right click on the Deskjet 3650, select Properties, Ports, Add port, Local port, New Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the shared computer and printer), OK.

  • Unable to install microsoft office for mac

    I want to download Microsoft Office for Mac v.X to my new MacBook, however, when I try to install I get an error message saying "Powerpc applications are no longer supported".  Anyway around this as I still have a user key on this software available

    No way around it.  You must upgrade to Office 2011.

  • Silly issue: Unable to install network drivers for Win2008r2 or Win2012r2

    It must be because it's Friday evening and I'm just lucky like that but for some reason I'm not able to install the network drivers for my Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 R2 installs in B200-M3 servers.
    I've mounted the Cisco driver ISO (ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.1.3.iso) and in each OS I've gone to Device Manager, then had to View -> Hidden Devices to show the Network Adaptors, then tried to have it install drivers from the ISO but no luck.  I did go to the correct subfolder Windows -> Network -> Cisco -> etc.  and even tried just having it search the whole CD, searching subfolders.  It either says no drivers found, or--for Windows 2012-- it says that Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date.
    I've got to be missing something obvious.  Any help would be most appreciated!

    Hi Benjamin
    We have done this many times; which UCS version are you using ?
    Check

    and Installation Guide
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/os-install-guides/windows/b_B-Series_Windows_Install.pdf
    Please use
    ISO image of UCS-related drivers  Release Date 12-DEC-2013
    ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.2.1.iso
    Normally you are asked during the Windows installation if you would like to install additional drivers; say yes, unmap the install iso, map the above driver iso, install fnic and enic driver; then unmap driver iso, map Windows install iso; do a refresh.
    Good luck

  • TS1369 unable to install usb drivers for ipod/ipad/iphone, even after following steps from diagnostic testing

    I have followed the steps suggested to reinstall the USB drivers for my ipad/ipod/iphone products, but receive a message that says one of the installers cannot perform the installation at this time. I've tried numerous "other" times, but get same msg.

    Hi 2010c309a,
    I understand you are having issues with your scan software on your computer. I recommend a complete uninstall reinstall.
    The HP uninstaller program might be available on the printer CD, depending on the printer model. If you have the printer CD readily available, try this option to quickly check whether you have the HP Uninstaller, and then run it. If you do not have the CD uninstall all HP printer software from the control panel. Here is a document you could look at for help.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02259020&lc=en&product=3737195&tmp...
    First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started.
    Scroll down to Windows imagine Acquisition. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started.
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing again.
    Hope this helps.

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

    Good day all!
    I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
    Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
    A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
    I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

  • Unable to install robohelp plugin for framemaker

    Hi,
    I have FM8 and RoboHelp HTML 9. When I open a new project and try to import a FrameMaker document or book I get the "unable to install robohelp plugin for framemaker" error.
    I tried with FrmaMaker open and closed - same thing.
    With RH7 it used to work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rakefet

    Unsure about the plugin message, but you can import FM into RH9. The problem may be that you have a current RH9, but not a current FM10. Try downloading a trial of FM10, create a v10 copy of your book, and see if that imports.
    Mark's comment applies to linking, but not to importing.

  • How can I install JDBC drivers for Oracle?!?....

    i have a program that has this line:
    import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
    that gives this error when I compile it:
    package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
    So I think I need to install JDBC drivers for Oracle. (?)
    I went here: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_111060.html]
    and downloaded the files for JDBC Thin.
    Then I followed this: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html]
    by entering these commands (I'm using Ubuntu):
    export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/ojdbc6.jar
    export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/orai18n.jar
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/files
    When I type echo $CLASSPATH I can see that those commands worked, but it hasn't made any difference when I try to compile.
    I still get the same error. Is it because I didn't do anything about the .so files? The readme page didn't mention them in the installation section.
    Please help! I am so stuck...

    I don't think you need the shared libraries (.so files) and given what I saw when I glanced at those pages, I don't think they'd even work for you, although maybe I just didn't read enough of it.
    What happens when you type
    javap oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceon the command line?
    How are you invoking javac? Are you perhaps passing a classpath argument?
    Are you sure that the path to the jar files is correct? Are the paths relative?

  • Qosmio F10-136 - Unable to install any drivers

    I have a Qosmio F10-136.
    I have recently formatted the hard drive. Since I had lost the recovery disc, I had to use another copy of Windows. I downloaded the drivers available online from the Toshiba website but I have been unable to install any drivers except the wireless LAN. Most driver setups refuse to run at all, some seem to install the files, but the driver is not detected.
    Please advise.

    > 1. Sound device not working still - When I install the audio effect driver (i.e. toshiba virtual sound), there does not seem to be any effect even though it is installed. Then, when I install the SoundMax Audio System, it gives me an that the driver does not exist.
    What do you mean exactly by does not seem to be any effect. Can you hear the sound coming from the speakers? Are there any yellow exclamation marks related to the sound card? If not then the sound card driver has been installed properly and the sound should work!
    > 2. I cannot figure how to install the LAN driver.
    Where is the problem? Download the LAN driver, unzip the package, access the device manager, choose the unknown device (LAN card), point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba driver page and finish the installation.
    The LAN card should be recognized properly.
    > 3. Same with the TV tuner drivers; there is not setup file.
    As mentioned above; you can install the drivers in device manager. Choose TV tuner in device manager (possibly marked as unknown device too.) point to the TV tuner driver files and finish the installation.
    > 4. During the windows setup, I had created 3 drives, but I cannot access the drives D & E. When I try to access them, windows asks me to format them, but it gives me an error when I try to do so. Also, the hard drive is not shown in the disk management (not even C drive), so I cannot do anything. Although, the hard drive is shown in the device manager.
    If other partitions have been created on the HDD then this should be visible in disk management. I dont believe that you cannot see even the C partition. In my opinion you didnt check this correctly.
    Access the disk management (MY Computer, right click, manage). Choose Disk Management. There you should see the HDD and CD/DVD drive.
    If the partitions have been created but not formatted then you would see just a free space.
    Click right on this space and you could either format this or could delete the partition.
    PS: I recommend using a 3rd party tool like Partitions Magic in order to create the partitions on the HDD (Win XP)!!!
