XSKey Driver too old after firewire file transfer

Hi guys, strange and hugely frustrating issue.
Yesterday using Setup Assistant I transferred files and documents via firewire from my ibook to my G5 powermac. Today when booting Logic Pro 7.1.1 I recieve this message - XS Key driver too old. The XS Key needs the driver 'Emagic XSKey.kext' in the folder /System/Library/Extensions.
I have downloaded the XSKey Updater, plugged the key in with an internet connection but when I run the updater I get the same message which disables any possibility of running the update. Obviously this has something to do with older files from the ibook replacing the working ones on the powermac, which is extraordinary. Can anyone help?

Just remove that file (the kext), Logic Pro will run just fine!

XSKey driver too old

Hello,
I have used Emagic Platinum 6 für years and have now bought Apple Logic Pro 7.2. After installation my computer tells me:
The XSKey needs the driver 'EmagicXSKey.kext' in version 1.2 to be installed in the folder /System/Library/Extensions/. Please install the driver with the installer.
In the named folder ist version 1.1. Where can I find the driver installer? It is not on the 2 DVDs. Or what else can I do?
Thanks
Dieter

Firewire File Transfer Problem/ Dual Drive G4 to iMac

Bought a new iMac. My old G4 (OSX10.3.9) has two internal HDs (30Gb & 40GB <my startup>) but only 30Gb drive shows up in target mode. Can't mount 40 Gb drive on iMac desktop to do file transfer when G4 is in "Target" mode? Called Apple "help" and was told to connect FW cables with a "Powered FW hub". No luck! Only 30GB shows up (Disk 0) and 40Gb (Disk 1) doesn't mount! Any suggestions?

Mike and Karn
Thank you both for your helpful and knowledgeable suggestions. Earlier this afternoon, I took my G4 to a local Mac store where the tech fixed the "problem" in 5 minutes for NO CHARGE. He just moved jumpers making the hard drive I wanted to use as a "target" now readable and the other as the slave. I have busily been transferring stuff to my new iMac.
Too bad the "Applecare" telephone "tech" which I waited well over an hour to speak with a few days ago did not the simple and correct answer but instead told me to by a "powered firewire hub"!!
Thanks, Louie

IDE Drive too old to be compatible with MDD (FW800)?

I'm trying to get some data off an old IDE drive (1.2 Gig Connor that is in my Performa 6300CD). The drive is formatted as an HFS + drive.
I am connecting the drive to my FW800 via an IDE to USB adapter that I have used successfully many times with other IDE drives to this computer.
The drive mounts, and one time seemed OK long enough that I could view its' contents in finder. After selecting 1 file, and trying to select another for copying Finder froze.
I couldn't get Finder to relaunch, and couldn't get the machine to shutdown, resorting to holding the power switch in long enough for it to power down.
FW800 booted back up fine, subject drive mounted again fine. Double-clicked on its' desktop icon and Finder froze again. Had to resort to the power switch again. I'm not looking to test my luck further, trying to understand what might be happening.
Could the disk or the interface just be too slow for this machine? Is a 1995 vintage IDE drive compatible with modern ATA-100 / ATA-133 adapters? What information I've been able to find suggests that it should be. From specs I was able to find it is a 3600 RPM drive capable of up to 16.7 MB/sec transfer speeds. (Old Drive Specs)
Worst case I'll just put it back in the 6300 and copy what I want via Appleshare, it will just be a lot slower. That old computer booted fine last time I had it set up.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Power Mac G4 (FW800) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dual 1.25 Ghz

I also have a G3 B&W (350 MHz, 10.3.9) available to try this drive in. Initially it was preventing the B&W from booting at all when installed internally (either IDE connector of the ribbon cable).
I looked again at the Spec page, and this drive has something called a Single Drive jumper setting as well as the more common Master or Slave settings. The drive was set to Single Drive. I changed the jumper to a Slave Drive setting.
After that the B&W booted up, I was able to share it, and successfully copy the contents off the drive.
At this point I'm pretty sure it was the jumper settings that were giving me problems. I'm going to do a quick test with the IDE to USB adapter with this current jumper setting to see if it allows access via the USB adapter.
Thanks for your input, I have accomplished what I set out to do.

Oracle JDBC Driver too old in Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3

I check oracle jdbc driver bundles in the Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3
The version is too old,and current version is:
Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) JDBC Drivers
The question is:
Could we replace the old ojdbc6.jar with the current one (11.1.0.7.0)?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, but be sure the new driver provides the classes registered in Administration Console that are provided by ojdbc6.jar when you configure jdbc resources to Oracle database

Can a device be too old for firewire 800?

Hi all,
I have an old Sony DCR-TRV30 mini-DV camcorder with a Firewire 400 4-pin out. I have long used Firewire 400 to connect to my MacBook Pro 2.16GHz core duo, circa 2006. Right now I'm running 10.6.8.
In order to connect the camera to my students' much newer MacBooks, I bought a Firewire 800 cable (4-pin to 9-pin). The cable is a Rocketfish.
But no computers--mine or my students'--can recognize the camcorder.
Is the camcorder too old to work with Firewire 800? Or should I start troubleshooting the cable?
(It seems to me that 4-pin out is 4-pin out. When I run my profiler, I get the message "Unable to list FireWire devices.")
Thanks.

The port does work with my 400 cable. I think I will have to try a different cable or find a different 4-pin device to test the cable I have now. Thanks. I really just wanted confirmation that it SHOULD work--that a device with a 4-pin firewire port should be able to send data along any 4-pin firewire cable, regardless of the configuration at the other end of the cable.

Network Drive Losing Connection During Large File Transfer...

Hey, everyone.
Recently bought an Airport Extreme and LaCie USB HDD/Hub for my hybrid Windows/Mac home network. I formatted the drive with FAT32 as instructed, and hooked it up.
My first order of business was to back up all of my media on my Windows desktop machine, but it hasn't been working out so well. A short while after starting the 35+ gig transfer (a few minutes at most), I get an error message saying the the destination folder is no longer there. Sure enough, checking 'My Computer' shows that the drive is now a 'Disconnted Network Drive'.
Cycling power on everything and rebooting Windows restores the network drive, but the core problem remains.
Anyone else seen this and have any idea how to deal with it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. Here's the relevant parts of my setup:
Airport Extreme
HP printer and Western Digital "My Book" 500 G USB drive connected by 4/1 usb splitter
MacBookPro connected via Gigabit
Windows XP PC connected via Gigabit
My media I loaded on the usb drive by directly connecting the usb to my PC, I've also loaded other iTunes media to the usb drive from the mac book. If I point iTunes on the PC at the usb drive I can play the media just fine. When I try to copy large files (700 MB) from my PC to the usb drive (via the airport) I'm told the destination folder isn't there. I've also noticed the windows tooltips telling me that it lost the internet connection, and if I have the airport utility open on my mac it also looses the airport for a few seconds. I am able to copy small files (largest that's worked so far is 1.6 MB) the usb drive via the airport.

Problem with Firewire file transfer

I have a PB G4 15" running 10.3.9 that holds files I would like to transfer to an iBook G4 running 10.4.8. I've connected a 6 pin FW cable to both machines and started the iBook in Target mode. It is not recognized by the PB. I then tried starting the PB in target mode, to no effect. I zapped the PRAM, no effect. Then I checked System Profiler. There is no Firewire 400 port as far as SP is concerned. The FW 800 is listed, but no FW 400. I have also unplugged the PB and removed the battery, hoping to reset the ports. No luck.
Is there a way to bring my FW 400 port back to life? Or is this most likely a hardware problem?

That's not good
Not to raise the alarm but I had a friend 'fry' a firewire port by inserting the cable upside down from the way it should - he just wasn't careful.
You should connect the cable after you've started the machines as well.
Have you tried booting the PB into Target and then inserting the firewire cable into the 800 speed port - it is backward compatible and will drop down to the 400 speed.

G4 PCI (with faulty firewire) file transfer to new iMac

I just purchased a new 20" iMac and anxiously awaited the time when I would be transferring all of my files from my old G4 to the iMac. Turns out that the G4 firewire ports apparently are not working. I even bought a PCI/firewire card but it didn't work either, so it must be a problem on the motherboard. Is there another way to do an easy transfer of the files? And is there a way to verify the G4 firewire problem?
Thanks.

Use an "External Harddrive" to move your files.
Move your G-4 Harddrive to an External Harddrive Enclosure, just for anexample here is one from CompUSA.

Satellite P850-31L thinks Intel HD GPU driver is old after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi there,
I have had my Satellite P850-31L since last year and recently updated to windows 8.1.
This laptop has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics card and it use to say that on my dxdiag.
Since updating to windows 8.1 my laptop seems to think I have a Intel HD Graphics 4000 and apparently it's out of date.
When I go on their site to test for the update.
I got told my graphics card is 'up to date' yet every thing else - including my toshiba driver manager says it's out of date.
I've tried updating yet I keep getting a message saying my system setting aren't good enough.
Anyne got any suggestions on what i can do.
Can I get my laptop to stop thinking it has a intel graphics when it has the NVIDEA chip

> defterniko
After Windows 8.1 upgrade you should visit the Toshiba EU driver page and should update the drivers and utilities to the Windows 8.1 version.
Most people forget to do that they update the system from Windows 8 to Win 8.1 but dont update the drivers.
As mentioned by user IronMan; the installation instruction which is available on the Toshiba EU driver page shows you the driver and tool which needs to be updated and you should also follow the installation order mentioned in this instruction.

Error stating mail version too old after 10.6.8 update

I upgraded 3 Intel Macs to Snow Leopard. A Macbook, Mac Pro and an iMac. After the upgrade I ran software update and updated to 10.6.8. This worked without issue on the Macbook and Mac Pro.
However, on the iMac, when I open mail, I get the following message:
You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
I've tried reinstalling Mail from the Optional Installs on the Snow Leopard install disk. I've also moved the com.apple.mail.plist to the desktop. None of this is making any difference.

Good call here. I had already done all updates, no new updates were available, that's what was so confusing, mail should have been updated. Then I looked all over for a way to get to find a version of Mail 4.5, no dice.
I spend all day on Windows at work and then come home and forget things like the ability to grab an Application from another machine and drag it to my desktop. That suggestion did the trick and I'm back in business.
Thanks

How can i transfer data from old MacBook Pro, which is too old to update time machine, to the newest MacBook Pro?

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and wanted to transfer all the data from my old MacBook Pro, but I get the message saying I need to update time machine on my old one in order to use time machine. However, my old one is too old to update. So I decided to use the cable to transfer, because I heard I can do it that way even though it could take time. But I have no idea what to do...
Can someone help me?

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

File transfer from old G4 iBook to new MacBook Pro

I hope this is the right place for this post/question....
I am trying to do a file migration from my old iBook G4 PPC to my new MacBook Pro. The iBook does not have the migration utility and when I put the new OSX DVD in from my MacBook (as instructed to do in the Migration utility's steps) it does not read it (presumably because it is not the right processor, etc) so I had no luck doing the computer to computer transfer. I do not have the "Time Machine" utility on the old computer and using my regular back-up did not allow me to migrate using the "other drive" option (MacBook never saw the drive in the utility, but does mount it and allow me to access it as a drive). I can do this the hard way, file by file, but I have a couple of concerns that I want to check on before I spend hours going down a bad path.
1) I have thousands of songs in my iTunes... can I drag and drop these? What about my play lists?
2) iPhoto - I have thousands of photos - how do I easily transfer those over in their respective scrapbooks?
3) Bookmarks, I can deal with by trying to find the file and importing them, or doing it manually, although there are a lot of them. Easier way?
4) Outlook - I can try to export and import using the built in features, but not sure if that will pull all the folders and structure.
Those are the big ones... I have had this computer for 8 years, so it is pretty embedded in my life and I am hoping for a utility or something that will help this process.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Keith

The migration utility in the newer computer's OS X would usually allow
the older Mac's info to be pulled into the new computer; the installer
disc for the new Mac won't do anything for the old PPC Mac since it
would be unreadable. Intel-based Mac machine-specific discs won't
work in PPC-based Macs; and in general different machines can't
or won't use the install-restore discs from other models.
There may have been a way via ethernet, usb or firewire to share files
using a System Preference panel setting to facilitate this action. The
suggested method should be adequate. You can also put an iTunes
library and iPhoto library on a suitable external drive to par-down the
content and reduce clutter in a portable computer's hard disk drive
and still be able to access those carefully moved libraries from there.
Some good support documents in Apple Support tell how to do this.
In Firefox, you will have to rename the old folder of bookmarks to the
same name as the existing new apps folder for them to be seen. I
just replaced folders, carefully, so if that didn't work the first time, the
items were easy to find and try again later. Once you get the folder,
the contents should appear in the new browser version as they had
in the older one, to some extent, after the file or contents are moved.
Good luck & happy computing!

Flash drive capacity is inaccurate after deleting files from it using my MacBook Pro Mid 2012.

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out my flash drive problem. I'm a new MacBook Pro user and have a Mid 2012 model. I have a Patriot Supersonic 64gb flash drive that I've been using for a few years and has always worked great. I'm not sure if the use of it is relevant, but if so I use it to load movies on, which I then plug into a box (NBox V3) connected to my tv for my kids to view. When the flash drive gets full I swap out the old movies with new ones. I have also used it to transfer movies from my mac to pc.
A little while ago, after transferring files to my pc, I got a message stating my flash drive was full when I tried to add additional movies to it. I deleted more than enough files to make room for the new file, but the available capacity never changed, no matter how many files I deleted. I figured it wasn't compatible going back and forth between my mac and pc, but after talking to support, they said it should be fine and helped me erase the data and reformat it to FAT32. I had the same problem again, so decided to erase the data again and reformat it again to FAT32, but this time not use it in conjunction with my pc. I'm only using it with the tv box now. I'm now running across the same problem again. It's full. I've transferred files from it to create new room, but the available capacity never changes.
I'm frustrated now b/c I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm not sure what exactly is the problem. I had to purchase a new external hard drive (WD My Passport for Mac) in order to store files from the flash drive before deleting them b/c I didn't want to use it with my prior external hard drive (Maxtor) since it is used with the pc. I think that may have been a waste b/c after researching possibilties again today I think it may have something to do with my MacBook Pro ports being USB3 and possibly not compatible with my flash drive, which is a few years old. I'm really not sure though. I could go out and buy a brand new flash drive, but I really don't want to spend any more money without really knowing what the real problem is.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks LowLuster! With that info I have another questions if that's ok. First, I'm sure it's formatted to fat32. I have learned I can't transfer movies over 4gb. I use an external hard drive for those. The files are ones I've downloaded from YouTube in the mp4 format and are never over 1gb. They're all mb in size.
I didn't realize flash drives had limited writes. Is there any way to confirm I've reached the limit? Both times I reformatted it I was able to add back the videos I previously had on it. I would say there were a hundred or so. Both times I left some "growing room" on the flash drive so I could add more files. And, both times I was able to continuing adding until I had reached the max capacity. The problem occured after I tried deleting files to free up space. Does this make sense with "the amount you have used it" theory? Does it start to become buggy at that point, or does it just make writes to the drive impossible?
Thanks
