Using old drivers safe?
I currently got a new iMac with Mavericks installed, and I want to use my old Wacom tablet. I downloaded the latest driver (circa 2007) and when I tried to install it, I got the message:
"Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer".
If I bypass this, is it safe to install?
Yes.

PCI-MXI-2 Using old drivers on new OS
I have a PCI-MXI-2 card that is currently in a Windows Xp computer.
The windows xp computer is using the driver NI VXI 2.1.1 (Windows 9x/NT/2000).
This current setup works. I would now like to move to Windows 7.
The card is connected by VXI to a VME-MXI-2 card, which is configured with three measurement cards from an outside company.
Because of the hardware that I am using, I believe I must keep the orriginal driver in order for it to work. I have not been successful with newer NI drivers.
Does anyone have advice on using older NI drivers on newer operating systems?
I have not been having much luck with this approach so far.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Update:
- I removed all the national instruments software
- I installed the old drivers on Windows 7 in compatibility mode (ni vxi 2.1.1, VISA shared components 1.6, IVI shared components 2.2.1)
- I made sure that all software was the same version as on the old machine
- I then configured the boards with T&M manager
Success. Everything now works. This is a very valid approach for those using old hardware that can't handle the new drivers. -
Can I use / find drivers for an HP Deskjet 3520e on OSX 10.4.11
Can I use / find drivers for an HP Deskjet 3520e on OSX 10.4.11
Thanks for suggestion but HP Support Center don't support the HP Deskjet 3520 e.
Our old iMac wont upgrade to "snow-leopard" - the drivers supplied with the printer are not backwards compatible beyond IOS 10.6. We are max-updated at 10.4.11.
Tried a "gimp" (?) set of drivers which goes through an auto-install but I can't see or select the drivers.
Find it hard to believe that there is no solution -
Uninstalling old drivers quest
Not sure how to find old drivers to uninstall before putting my new sound card in and installing the drivers. What will happen if I don't uninstall the old drivers first?
Just use this method and settings to install drivers.

Deleting Old Drivers. Driver's Folder
Where can I find the driver's folder or folders in the Mac OSX leopard? I want to delete some old drivers and I just can't find the folder.
ThanksI just noticed I have 2.76 GB of drivers in /library/printers.
Is there any downside with deleting most of these, especially for printer brands I doubt I will ever use? -
Do I need to remove old drivers before installing new ones (Windows XP)
I have an Acer Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows XP home edition installed. I've reinstalled the OS by using recovery tool, updated it again. I want to finish setting my laptop up by updating some drivers, mainly chipset and GPU. I've already found that newer ones are availabe. But do I need remove the old drivers first to avoid any problems in the future? Or do I just run the setup executable of every driver?
Run the setup and check if the new one are installed; if not remove the old drivers and install the new.

Use old HD with new P965 Platinum MB. Possible?
If I wanted to use my present HD with my new P965 Plat board, I have to boot with the OS CD and do a "repair" or a "install", or is this even possible? Has anyone tried/done it? Thanks.
Your "old HD" is P-ATA (IDE), right?
Theoretically it should not be a problem, if there is still room for a second drive on the JMicron IDE-port.
However, you should install a fresh XP SP2 onto that drive using JMicron Drivers (F6). Just "reparing" the existing installation might not work properly. -
Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop? Would like to use larger screen when working at home. I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work. When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer. What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible? Any assistance would be appreciated.

11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu. -
I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?
Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong. -
I have changed my icloud email in my iphone but in macbook still using old email. I tried to delete the old email in macbook but it requires password and it does not accept the old password for the old email anymore. How do I remove this old email?
Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I am trying to use old style figures for a school typology project. I can't find them. I think I might need a specific font, but I dont know what that would be.

The gear was at the top left, not the bottom. Just for future help.
Thanks! I guess they were bored with having at the bottom for 10 years....
You will probably find that the typography panel in Pages 5 is kind of broken, you need to close it and reopen for each new font, and I think small caps and various other things do not work yet. -

Can I use LINUX Drivers in Solaris 10...
As a beginner, I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto my system. The motherboard is ASUS M2A-VM, with integrated graphics, network interface, audio, etc...
My audio and network interface are not working... The motherboard came with a cd which has windows drivers and additional software.
It also has linux drivers for:
Audio:
Core5
Core6
Linux
RHEL4
SUSE10
Other
realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05f
LAN
FreeBSD
Linux
SCO_OpenServer6
Unixware7.x
Chipset, and RAID!
Has anyone used any of these ASUS Linux drivers with Solaris...
If so what steps do I need to take to get them to work on my system! (I hate to ask, I know you all have better things to do) Maybe you can point me to a good book that explains how to go step by step...
My question is how do I get my NIC to work (What steps do I need to follow? the sound is not an issue, as, I can do with out that. Will any of the drivers mentioned above work?) thank you in advance for your answers...Drivers are the "connective tissue" between the Operating System and the hardware. The connections from the drivers to the OS are not compatible between different operating systems, so no, you cannot use Linux drivers in Solaris.
If the OS is similar enough you can sometimes get away with it -- example, using Solaris 9 drivers in Solaris 10. But between completely different OSes? Won't work. -

i have been using my mac book pro for more than 11 months.
.My use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it to office...
my confusion is that shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost....Will spending so much money be worth itLike any other insurance, it's only worth it if you have a problem. I've purchased it on my "high risk" Macs and not purchased on the others. So far I've never needed it.
