Can't install beta firmware.

Hi,
I am trying to install iOS 4.3 on my iPad. I alt click the 'Check for Updates' button, choose the .ipsw file but when I try to update, the update fails and I am put into recovery mode.
Has anyone any suggestions of what to do? I have restarted my computer, made sure itunes is up to date etc... but it will not work!
Thanks in advance!

Wow psycho, 23k+ posts! You are quite the Overlord here!
Aside from voiding the warranty on a phone that has probably been out of warranty for at least a year, why is it against the forum rules? Symbian is open source now.... or didn't you get the memo?
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

HT2368 Hello, I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware, need help. Thanks

Hello,
I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.5
Need your help.
Thanks

Also, according the the 1.4 update page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL974
It will update the Boot ROM version (on MB 5,1) to MB51.007D.003.
Yet I have (MB 5,1) Boot ROM version MB51.007D.B03. Weird again!
What a mess Apple. Considering how important firmware updates are you'd think they could make this a little clearer.
Anyways, again, I don't think we need it.

Can't install EFI Firmware Update

Hello,
i can't install the Firmware Update (EFI 1.1) on my MacBook (Core 2Duo, OS X Version: 10.4.10).
My System is on an GUID partition scheme.
I get a white screen after the "long beep" and after a few minutes the cpu fan start to run.
I disconnected all my peripherals but this does not work either.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
jan

Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

HT1237 How can I install the firmware without an installed operating system?

I'm trying to update the firmware on a mid2010 macbook pro whose hard drive failed. In order to use Internet Recovery I need to update the firmware. I don't have an OS to boot to YET so I'm no sure how to use the DMG file via a direct boot.

I started down this path because as per http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/ it says "if your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically". After doing some research I see that in order to get Internet Recovery to work you need an upgraded firmware, hence my opening question. Also at that link it says "Not all Macs running OS X Lion are enabled for Internet Recovery. But Apple still has you covered with the Recovery Disk Assistant." so I tried going down the Recovery Disk path. To be honest, w/o the original restore media, I wasn't expecting any of this to work, but the language on the macos/recovery site makes it seem like it is possible.
It is very possible but you need to create the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, Recovery HD USB drive, on the computer it is going to be used on from the Recovery HD partition that is on that computer when Lion and the R-HD is on that system.
In all honesty Apple should have a method and instruction on how to create a REAL Lion Install Thumb drive or DVD if you like. In stead of this STUPID Download system.

Can't install beta 2 as a trial version

When I launch the installer, it goes to the Welcome screen. I click Accept. It goes to the Serial Number screen, but the "Install this product as a Trial" radio button is disabled. (See attachment) I had the first beta installed and uninstalled it before I tried to install the beta 2. I tried rebooting the computer and running the installer again. Same issue.
Running:
Windows XP SP3
Dell Optiplex GX620
3 GB RAM
I also have Flash Builder 4 beta 2 installed. That installed without any issues.

serial number required!
Important: In order to activate the Flash Catalyst beta and use the product beyond the default 30-day trial, you will need the appropriate serial number:

HT204032 Can't install SMC firmware update

I'm trying to install the SMC firmware update 1.6 on a mid-2011 Macbook Air. First downloaded it from App Store, and after restart it was stuck at a gray screen with spinning icon, no text or progress indicator-- stayed that way overnight. Tried downloading directly from Apple, same result. Tried resetting SMC, then installing, same result. It won't finish instlaling the update-- any ideas?

Check your system profiler ...if your SMC is up to date it will read: SMC Version 1.4f12. If it is not and you have the first gen. Macbook (CoreDuo) then make certain that you are running 10.4.8 before you begin the update.
Make sure you are following these instructions explicitly...
To update the SMC firmware on your MacBook:
Your computer’s power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source.
1. Quit all other open applications.
2. Click Restart in the MacBook SMC Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart.
The SMC firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update. During the update your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.
As the instructions say - you have to restart the machine via the installer. Also, you do not mention but did you have a status bar appear during the update?

Can't instal SMC firmware update on my MBP 1.83

Hi. I tried installing the new firmware 3 times but my MBP restarts and shows a blinking file folder with a question mark. If i then restart i start right up into OSX. I also have a partition for XP and have no problems booting using the option key. Any ideas? Thanks all!!

Hi,
First go to System Preferences -> Startup Disk -> select your Macintosh Disk, and click the lock to prevent changes.
That should do it.

Installing N91 firmware on V1.10.030, RM-158, 19.0...

Hi,
I do not have internet access at home, so I saved the firmware from the Nokia website on a CD ROM in a net cafe to save on and to install from my PC at home.
I do not know whether the firmware installed or not, as I never checked the version I had before installing. The N91 never displayed any messages and never showed any reaction to advise that the firmware had been installed.
Can I install the firmware upgrade in this way and should it be successful on a PC without internet access?
How can I tell if it were installed or not?
Problems I encountered:
Originally I was going to return the mobile to Nokia in the USA (I purchased my SIM free N91 from www.mobilebee.com), but MobileBee.com advised that my problems stemmed from the fact I had not updated the firmware.
Nokia Europe told me I would have to return it to the USA where it was purchased, a cost which I would have to bear because of Nokia's shoddy workmanship.
The problems I was encountering were:
If I slid shut the music control panel over the digits panel during a call, the N91 would drop the call;
I installed over 2 days and 14 hours of music (approximately 800 songs at 128kbps, AAC files), but noticed they were progressively disappearing, or displaying exclamation marks and not responding to "play" commands;
I tried sending picture messages, but the hard drive was saying it was empty and/or no images were available.
Incidentally, I think it is disgraceful Nokia is selling a product that is clearly not ready to perform the functions it advertises.
Firmware updates are acknowledgements of failings in the original software of the product and the fact that there have been several over a short space of time is a damning indictment of Nokia's pursuance of profit and turnover over quality and customer satisfaction.
In Ireland Nokia can be held accountable for misleading advertisements and claims about the product's abilities under the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act, 1980. Let this be a warning for future releases of mobile phones.

Hi
I am a bit confused since your title shows RM-158 which is the GSM only version sold in China or APAC. Is thie mobilebee selling you APAC market devices? If so then when you update it will put the APAC or China Sw on it.
1- Hanging up a call with the slide is how it works. However if you hold down the left soft key and close the slide it holds the call. Standard S60 slide action (see quick guide)
2- AAC files. What did you use to synch the old Nokia Ausio manager or USB MAss storage.! Indicates the file is gone but the library has not been updated. Did you do a full synch that removed songs from the HDD but you did not refresh the library
3- Update - In any event try this from a blog from a PC with internat access, it goes over the internet to get the sw for your phone
I just upgraded my N91 with the official SW from Nokia and its GREAT!. Now I can update my own N91 when new Sw comes or refresh my device if somehow I screw it up:
1) Make sure you have the latest PC suite (6.81)from : http://europe.nokia.com/A4144903, or other local regional sites.
2) Install the Nokia software update application sw from http://www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate (note you need 256MBytes of RAM on your PC)
3) Then program your phone
a) Backup your phone memory (ROM) using PC suite (to preserve your DRM activation keys etc).
b) Copy your files (Music, Videos, Documents, Images etc) from the device HDD to your PC (recommended to use USB Mass storage).
c) Copy your applications, themes etc (original SISX, Java etc files before you installed them) from your HDD to your PC (Do not simply copy the installed directories/files over)
d) FORMAT your HDD
e) Proceed with SW update (note you need to be attached to a charger and not in offline mode. Do not answer or make call or disconnect the device during this process)
f) Reset your phone memory by typing *#7370# (code 12345) (recommend this just to be safe)
g) Restore your phone memory using PC suite
h) Copy back your HDD contents from your PC to your clean HDD
h) Re-install your applications/themes
I have nad very few problems with my N91 so good luck

How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

Hi,
I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router. It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update. I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine. How can I install the firmware update?
Thanks, - Dave
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update. Just point to the .bin file and away you go. Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.

How to install Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 in Lion?

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 27" iMac with a NVidia 7600GT graphics card. Knowledgebase article HT3986 says that Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 must be installed first. I downloaded the firmware update but on running it says the Mac OS X 10.6 is required but I've already upgraded to Lion.
I was able to install Windows 7 but I have to disable the graphics card for it to boot and use it in VGA mode.

I deleted imassages and I can't install it again

Hello
I deleted imassages and I can't install it again
the only version that i found avalable on the web is "beta" and it says that i can't install beta on my mac
so how can i get it back?

The only way to reinstall Messages on a Mac running Mountaiin Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
Backup all data first before restoring OS X just in case.
