Why would a PCI card not work in a similar G4?

Why would an Audio Interface PCI card work in one Mac G4, but not in a newer, similar computer?
My Sonorus STUDI/O audio interface card has been working great in my G4 450 (AGP), through various MacOS versions, now in OS 9.2.2, using LOGIC Pro 6 recording software.
Putting the card in a Power Mac G4 Dual 1.25 Ghz (MDD Mirror Drive Door), the card is recognized by Apple System Profiler, but Logic abruptly quits without explanation as soon as it starts up and tries to acknowledge and integrate the card.
Throwing away Logic’s Preferences will let me successfully start up Logic, and choosing the basic MacAV as the audio engine will work just fine (so it’s not the application itself that’s broken). But if I specify the STUDI/O, as soon as I relaunch Logic to activate that choice, the program just quits without explanation again.
Same system (OS 9.2.2) as in the G4 450 (except that the Mirror Drive’s OS 9 was a slightly newer, machine-specific build).
No special drivers needed, as Logic supports the card directly.
I tried all available PCI slots, with no difference.
So why would a PCI card suddenly not work at all in a newer, but comparable Mac? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter
Additional bit: The STUDI/O card is not supported in OS X, and Sonorus has closed its doors. So there's no help forthcoming from that direction. But in OS 9, everything should be good to go. Could a somewhat newer, faster computer like the Dual 1.25 really have that much of a detrimental impact on a PCI card?

Wireless pci card - not working under OS 9

Hello everyone,
I very rarely post on OS 9 sub board, but I have one quick question. First off, my mac is a powerful(to me it is!) 2003 MDD dual 1.25(last before G5) and has 2GB memory with 2GB L3 cache per processor.
Now thats out of the way. I would like to know if the Belkin F5D7000 card(wireless-G 802.11g) supports working under OS 9.2.2? If Belkin does not have a driver for it, is there a generic driver I can install which would allow my wireless card to work under OS 9.2.2? Yes, I have the FW400 based system, however I might consider going with the FW800, but I would like to know really what the big differences are between the FW400 and FW800 machines?
I know the FW800 has ONE FW800 port, has a slot to support AIRPORT EXTREME card(though my machine has a PCI Belkin F5D7000 wireless-G airport extreme card). It also has support for bluetooth which I wouldn't really use anyway since I have no device to make use of bluetooth.
So, my question really is, is there a way to get the wireless card to be recognized under OS 9.2.2 even though Belkin does not have a driver for it? I really would like to use OS 9.2.2 sometimes, but its useless to me if I can't get on the i-net, and regular ethernet is NOT AN OPTION since where I live is only wireless internet.
Ideas? Suggestions?

Hi,
A ethernet to wifi bridge is connected to your computer via the ethernet port.
ex: http://www.macsense.com/product/networking/wua800-1.html
So there is no need for driver in the OS since it's using the ethernet port like connected via a wire. It's the box that convert it to a wifi signal. You could even use this for OS X, Windows or Linux etc...
Many manufacturers make this kind of device.

Usb 2 pci card - not working!

I have a G4 400 MHz with Memory of 1.12 GB and a Bus Speed of 100 MHz.
I recently added a hard drive without problem, and a pci card. This pci card states on the box "compatable with mac osx". However, I have bought an EYE TV stick (for digital channels) which does nothing when loaded in the port. If I test the usb port with an ipod, the ipod charges but does not load on screen. I'm guessing the card is not loading to 2.0 usb speeds, but why?
Very frustrating. Main reason for adding a card was to get the EYE device to work.
Any ideas?

Why would a website suddenly not work in Safari?

I have been on the website for months, but suddenly I cannot access it. I can access via a Proxy so the website and my ID/log in is up and running. I have tried via Firefox and that does not work either. I cleared my cache, restarted but still no joy. I called my ISP, but they tell me it must be a problem with my laptop. Any help please?

[Athlon64] k8n neo2 pci cards not working, missing onboard lan + firewire from bios

So while after putting the htt to 2x in the bios trying to isolate the highest htt my new cpu couldd handle by board apparently died a few days ago. Resetting the cmos and removing everything didn't help. I ordered up a new board and a few other things. I took the neo2 out of my case today and decided to give it one more shot. Then i remembered that my psu (enermax 470w) had a loose connection on a ground in the 4-pin connector that i had a bunch of trouble when i put the system together last year. Anyways, i fandangled around with it,plugged the motherboard back in and got everything up and running.Well, almost everything. My pci-wifi card and sound card weren''t showing up in windows. Thought it might have somethingto do with the onboard sound and lan since i had forgetten to disable it while getting the system up and running. Went into the bios and now the secondary lan and firewire were missing from the integrated peripherals menu where you enable/disable them. Like, their names aren't even there. Thought maybe flashing the bios backto an earlier version might help, i had just flashed to the newest for the new cpu. No luck there. Tried resetting the cmos after that, and moving around the pci cards, but no go. Anything else i might try?

MBP 2010 Mavericks SATA PCI Card not working

Hello there,
with Mountain Lion I had no problems with my LaCie SATA II ExpressCard 34, but after installing Mavericks this card is not working anymore.
http://www.lacie.com/de/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10274
I contacted Lacie Support, they do not have an actual driver.
So I bought a Sonnett Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb ExpressCard/34 which should work with Mavericks.
Unfortunately my MBP from 2010 does not. Sonnett offers a workaround http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=466&expand=_a3_a1_a2&action=b778 #b778
After installing this I could use the card when I plugged it in AFTER systemstart. If the card is plugged in when the computer is started, the compter will not start at all. So, if I like to use an external drive as startvolume with this card, it is useless.
Does anybody have the same problem and any solution?
Will there be an update for Mavericks regarding this problem?
Thanks for Feedback

I can't offer any solutions, my MBP doesn't have an Expresscard slot, but it seems like no one else has answered so I thought I'd offer a suggestion. Contact Other World Computing at Macsales.com. They specialize in Mac hardware and may be able to supply you with a card that works.
As for the "will there be an update" question, we're all just users here so we have no idea what Apple will do.

Why would the Java Plugin not work in Firefox 5 on Mac SnowLeopard? I have the most recent version but am unable to use any Java features on Firefox 5. Firefox 3.6 works with the same Java but 5 will not.

Most recent version of Java and firefox. Java Applications will start to load but end up in an infinite loading loop.

Well, it's what I did to get my Java working in Firefox 4. I installed both binaries into my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. The version was newer that what was previously installed (newer version is 0.9.7.5). It solved the Java problems I was having. My inital problem was that Java would not initiate and no applets would run in Firefox version 4 which I just installed a few days ago.
I know the readme.txt. says it is not compatible with version 4, but the release date on 0.9.7.5 is after the release date of Firefox 4 and so that was I tried it. I figure there was nothing to lose as at worst it woud update my two plug-in files. Nothing was going to be changed otherwise. If you try it, it might work.

Why would my iTunes password not work for my iCloud password if I am using the same account?

I recently redownloaded "find my friends" to my iPhone, and tried to log in and couldn't. Now I use my iTunes account with the iCloud also, and I can't access my iCloud account either. My password has never changed for either services, my account ID was not changed or misspelled, and I shouldn't have any other accounts either. Silly me decided that I should to log out of my iCloud and log back in but it won't accept my password. Am I missing something some where along the way? I can still download apps with the password but why can't I log in to my iCloud account anymore? Can I have different passwords with the same account? If so how do I change one with out changing the other also?

As long as you can't spell I wouldn't worry about it.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

=SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !

Why would a USB soundcard not fix the crippling issue ?

Just out of curiosity, for people who have ThinkPads with the internal sound card disabled for mixing and don't have expresscard support, why wouldn't a separate USB-based sound card not work? I've read on the forums where people say they haven't heard positive experiences with USB sound cards anywhere. I'm not totally tech-inclined, but the USB sound card would be its own separate device and I would not think Lenovo could affect it.
Is it because A) Lenovo somehow found a way to cripple USB devices that are sound cards or B) the USB sound card itself has this crippling built-in?

Something like that is small and relatively inexpensive. Just want to hear a technical explanation as to why something like that can't be an easy workaround.
Thanks.

the x-fi relies alot on the computer CPU to process the audio streams, technically it is not a sound card. You should call or email Creative to get a better understanding of why it doesn't work properly.

HELP! - Lumia 800 memory card not working :/

My phone decided to go into the notorious restart loop - So following everyones advice on teh internet I performed a hard reset.
It loads the orange sign - then the Nokia sign - then the windows mobile sign as if the phone is about to start with the noises etc... then it decides to goto a screen says
"MEMORY CARD NOT WORKING
Your memory card has changed, is damaged or is non-compatible.
To fix this, turn your phone off and either remove the memory card or replace it with a new compatible card. Then reset your phone to the original factory settings.
To learn how to reset your phone, refer to the owner's manual"
I also get the option to make an "emergency" call or "turn off" the phone. the volume buttons also work the volume fine aswell as the option to change the phones mode from silent to vibrate or vibrate and ring.
Tried hard reset numerous times, tried charing the phone for hours on end and trying it, tried soft resets. Basically the only options i've found.
Just to add.... Why would a phone with no memory card slot even have a message stating that the memory card is faulty and that i could even remove or replace it???
I hope someone manages to help me without having to cough up £50 excess to my insurance.
Anyone come across this before?

Sorry, it's my standard response, but your phone doesn't work. Take it back to whoever sold it to you. It's a consumer good, consumer protection rules apply.
Your problem certainly has novelty value but if you've done the hard reset and it didn't work you're at the end of the fix it yourself stage.

Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

Hi
I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
Sorry if I sound thick
Thanks
Neelie

Hi
I found this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
Bye

Why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

I have the same problem. I contacted magic jack, and after more than an hour of waiting, here is the final part of our discussion, before I had to leave to go to work:
Me: the magic jack app has worked fine for months unregistered. Never had a problem before. I must go to work now. I will leave the chat box open. if you could, send me a list of possible fixes and I will try to apply them when I get back. Please write in detail. Is there a way that I can get in touch and get a senior rep on right away to handle my problem when I get back, or do I hae to wait again when I call next time?
Kara: I am one of the senior rep here and in fact one of the supervisors . Here is what you are going to do:
Kara: Once you register the magicjack app into your Iphone, we can refresh your account connections here manually however if you dont register it, no options in our end to work for your connections since the MJ app is not used to be registered. No worries, we can remove your account if you dont want the service anymore for free.
+++++++++++++++++
So, it would seem that either there is a problem that they don't know about, or else magic jack is trying to force everyone to not choose option 3 on the opening screen, the one which allows you to continue to make a call without registering.
Has anyone received a solution to this problem from magic jack support?
