Where are the drivers and how come my monitor works without them?

Hey folks!
I thought the drivers were all in the kernel, but then again I always have to install the Intel/Nvidia/whatever drivers to get my graphic card/chip working, but that's only if I want to run X. So how come I can see the console text displayed before that, at various resolutions (which I can select in GRUB)? How can anything be displayed before I've installed a graphics driver...? What kind of driver is used before that? Curious.
Thanks in advance.

Oh I see. Just like the graphics in the installation process then? What about the two Archlinux logotypes at boot? Could they for instance be displayed at the login prompt as well?
Most certainly. In fact, I tried a distro a few years back which actually had a penguin permanently in the background of the console as sort of a wallpaper.
BTW, you have 2 Arch logos because you either have 2 cpu's, 2 cores, or hyper-threading.

HT201272 Where are the audiobooks and how do I get them back?

I can't find the audiobooks I have deleted from my iPhone and iPad to download again. Can anyone explain how to do this?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on a backup ? If not and they are still in the store, then you can try contacting iTunes and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Where are the drivers for HP LaserJet 5P for Windows 8.1 (64bit)?

Had been using HP LaserJet 5p printer with HP LaserJet 5p printer driver, but had printer disconnect for a few months due to not have black toner. Now I want to use the printer and my control panel does not show HP Laser 5p printer for my tablet but shows it for my laptop. I can not find the driver on the HP support list and the support list does not recognize HP LaserJet 5p.

First of all sorry for this post Cat but I was answering this guy when you locked his thread, I did put quite a bit of effort into it so i will just paste what i put in my reply here lock it if you wish its just for his information--
All brand spanky new hardware has drivers not a lot of older stuff have drivers for vista, so if you have a lot of pre 2004 hardware chances are you will have to upgrade
but as to your question the newest creative (x-fi) cards DO HAVE VISTA drivers

Where are the drivers?

Alright it's probably a stupid question but I just bought a new mac that came with leopard.I used boot camp to partition and install windows vista on my new mac. Everything worked fine until I had to install the drivers.I don't know where the drivers are. They supposed to be in the leopard dvd that i don't have. Where are the drivers?

Hi Obe7,
the Mac OSX install disc that you used to install Leopard on your Mac is a 'hybrid'-disc, which contains an OSX part (only visible while in OSX) and a Windows part (only visible while in Windows).
The BootCamp 2.0 drivers are on the Windows part of that disc.
While in Windows insert that disc and usually the driver installation starts automatically.
If not, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the disc and start the 'setup.exe' file manually.

Where are the instructions about how to upgrade to Firefox 5?

Where are the instructions about how to upgrade to Firefox 5?
I have FF v4 and want to upgrade to v5. But despite my searching, I cannot find any instructions on how to upgrade. Why do S/W developers for the most part fail to provide this essential information?
Specifically, does one do an in-place upgrade (install to existing v4 directory)? If so, are all the user's settings/ preferences/ configurations/ bookmarks/etc. preserved? Or does one install to a new directory? If that is the case, how does one then incorporate their former customizations into the new install? Also, what happens to add-ons, plug-ins, etc.
Install instructions, including upgrade instructions, should be readily available on the same page where the download link is!
Please advise. I'm anxious to upgrade, but without this basic information, I will not feel comfortable in doing so.

In Firefox 4 and later you can go to Help > About Firefox to check for updates and update.<br />
You can update Firefox in the same installation folder.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
To change that select:
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
Menu > View > Hide Layout

Where are the admins and Support has been getting weaker

Ok first of aqll. Where are the admins? I have seen none of their posts anywhere. They dont' seem to care or moderate the board.
2nd of all, in some support sections, some people say smart alac things where they don't want to help their users. I got somone from one of my posts saying, "Don't try to attempt to do something when you know nothing about it"

They may or may not send an email to the offender,</div>
This is an interesting thread and I thank you and the other more experienced folk for your participation. There is a few similar recent explanatory type threads which are also useful.
However, the above partial reply does concern me a bit. And yes, I do realise that you personally are in no way responsible for or accountable for the actions or non-actions of the mods or for Apple policy. And that you are just helpfully recounting what appears to be the Discussions policy and practices.
Several months ago a reply I made to a thread was deleted, presumably by a mod but what instigated that action I do not know or do I know who reported my apparent posting crime.
To quote from : Apple Discussions Use Agreement
"5. Breach of the Agreement
If you fail to abide by these terms Apple will send an e-mail that informs you that your Submission has been deleted or edited."
I did not receive any email from Apple explaning the reason for my submission deletion.
As shown by this thread a similar experience has occurred to other users
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=792552&tstart=0>
Now, of course I am in no position to require the mods to account for their actions and I accept that these Discussions are wholly owned and operated by Apple, but Apple does [or I hope so] realise the value of the discussions and the goodwill they create and enhance.
But what is the point of having a set of rules, availble for all to see, which are in effect a two-way agreement, if Apple chooses to ignore them while expecting users to abide by them. I would have liked the opportunity to explain the import of my submission. But having it peremptorily deleted without explanation is just not fair.
But then, I expect someone will take offence at this post and it will be deleted.

Where are the home and end buttons

so i'm new to mac and purchased a mac book pro and that's when it hit me, where are the Insert, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys? Where are the arrow keys. I'm not much of a track pad user and although I think it is awesome I like to keep my hands on the keyboard as much as possible.
Also, is it me or does the Delete key on a Mac move in the wrong direction (from right to left instead of left to right)?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The answer is the Fn key...
Held down in addition to the Left arrow is Home, with the Right arrow key is End, with the Up arrow key is PgUp, with the Down arrow key is PgDn, and with to the Delete key is Forward Delete.
You might find it helpful to enable the Keyboard Viewer in Hardware, Keyboard, Show Keyboard viewer in menu bar. On OS X 10.6 it displays a flag for your selected country. (Not sure about OS X Lion 10.7 though.) When enabled, click on the flag and select Show Keyboard Viewer. As you press Shift, Fn, Ctrl, Alt/Option, and Command you will see onscreen what keystrokes result, separately and in combination.

How do I install the nvidia 120 gt, where are the drivers?

I purchased the nvidia 120 gt from apple....There are no driver disks...and when I go online no one knows where to get the drivers...HELP ME!

Drivers are included in Mac OS X "Requires Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later".
So if it is black, the problem is not drivers.
This card does not require aux power, so it can be installed at the same time as another card, unless the original has completely failed. What display are you connecting? How are you connecting it (cables, adapters) ? What Mac are you using in year of issue, speed, number of processors, MacPro 3.1 designation, etc. ?

Log and Capture - where are the cuts and renames stored

I'm having a problem where I'm loosing the cuts and clip renames

Sorry about that (I'm new to FCP)
Log and transfer sequentially renames all of the clips when I point to the AVCHD directory on my mac (which I copied from the camera). It, unfortunatly, doesn't add any leading 0's, and it sorts alphabetically, so my clips are out of order (1, 10, 11, 12, 13...2, 20). The process that I have been following, in order to get them back into order, is to add leading 0's to make them the same length (eg Clip# 1 becomes Clip# 001...). This is a real pain and I would welcome suggestions on how to improve this process. I would be much happier if it used the start time of the clip (or even the sequential 5-digit clip number that comes off of the camera)
In 'Log and Transfer' I am setting in and out points on the clips. When I add them to the import batch the utility only brings in the video between the points.
My problem is that, on a few occations, I have gone through the hour or so that it takes to do this only to find that the changes are gone when I reloaded the project. Most of the time it works fine but, if I knew how / where it stored this info, I would be able to verify it and make sure that it's archived...
Thanks again for your help

Guest Ipod touches and husband's iphone can no longer connect to internet with airport. But Ipad2 works and so does hard wire computer. where is the problem and how do we remedy

WiFi connections no longer working on Iphone and guest's Ipod Touches. How do we remedy this problem. The Ipad2 and hardwired computer are working with no problem

I had the same problem -- only iphones couldn't access wifi all of a sudden. I solved it this morning by uploading a previous firmware version to my Time Capsule. The solution was offered in a different discussion in the iphone section, which I found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15180888#15180888 :
Eureka thats the problem
The iOS 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 for iphone is not compatible with the firmware 7.5.2 for apple airport extreme and time capsule. If the WiFi router is an apple airport with firmware 7.5.2 an iphone with the updated firmware will not be able to detect and connect to the WiFi network.
Solution The iphone firmware can not be downgraded, the airport firmware has to be downgraded
1) Make sure that the settings of your Airport Extreme are in mixed a/b/n mode
2) Open Airport Utility
3) Select Upload Firmware from the BaseStation menu
4) If you current version is 7.5.2, click Upload Firmware
5) Select 7.5.1 from the pop up menu
6) Restore Firmware
Now the WiFi network is detected and connected perfectly as before upgrading the iphone to 4.3.3.
