I need help with a software update problem??

I recently got a new macbook pro and I was doing a software update last night as it was required but then when it started to do the update the computer installed the software and then a barring noise came from the mac and it tried to restart 4 times before it eventually came back on. The software trying to install was Fireware 800 I think. Can anyone help with this?

Try MacBook notebook forum to talk to other users, or OS Software (Lion or Snow Leopard)
Does not sound like an Apple OS update though.

  • Need help with "Nokia Software Updater"...Plz

    plz i need a help to update my phone

    Please do a search on this forum for "6280 software update" and you will have your answer.
    Many people have written here about Nokia software updater that tries to flash their 6280 phones with V6.10 (intended for the 6288) and then breaks their phones.
    I myself was busy downloading the firmware for a friends 6280 that was just minutes away from being flashed with 6.10 when I came across messages on many sites telling about the issue with the software updater and 6280 phones. I managed to save that 6280 from sure doom.
    If you also searched before hand you would not have this trouble.
    You need to take the phone to a nokia Service centre to have it flashed now and get it into a working state.

  • Need help with apple software update error

    I'd recommend trying to uninstall everything - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 .
    If that doesn't resolve it, I'd recommend going through it, or try installing through another user if you're able to.

  • Need Help with E90 software Update

    Hi Everyone,
    I bought an O2 locked e90 from someone on Ebay, and that phone was never updated to the newer version. I had the phone unlocked to be used in 3G, but when I tried to update the software through Nokia Software Update to version 300, it fails saying that USB connection failed and cannot continue installing. I have changed few cables just to make sure that it was not faulty, and still the same error. I was told by someone since the version in the phone is quite old it is failing to upgrade to the new one. Can anyone plz help me from this misery?????

  • I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

    I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
    Product: D110a all-in-one
    OS: Windows XP Professional
    Error messages: None
    Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
    The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
    IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
    When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
    least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
    It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
    out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
    Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
    printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
    trunk is a round, solid object.
    I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
    I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
    how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
    I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

    Hi everyone,
    I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
    Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
    Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
    connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
    Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
    Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
    INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
    eth0="dhcp"
    eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
    eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
    No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
    But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
    Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
    Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
    brazzmonkey,
    you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
    Use, f.e., netcfg:
    Comment your old lines.
    In /etc/rc.conf insert:
    NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
    DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
    In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
    First one is named  Eth0-dhcp.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION="ethernet"
    DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
    INTERFACE=eth0
    HOSTNAME="your hostname"
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
    Second one is named Eth1-static.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='whatver'
    INTERFACE='eth1'
    HOSTNAME='hname'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.0.10'
    GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
    DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
    The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
    Hope it helps.
    mektub
    PS: netcfg must be installed.

  • NEED HELP WITH IOS 6 UPDATE!!! PLEASE.

    I have an 8GB iPhone. The iOS 6 update says that I need 2.4GB available to update. I deleted all of my apps, 200 pictures out of 400 plus videos. It says only 5.1GB are used but it won't let me update the iOS 6. Help me please?

    I am having the exact same problem.  Can't upgrade via the phone, even with a wifi connection - says I need 2.4 gb of storage, although the software is only 500 mb.  I'm not about to delete everything on my phone just to update the OS. 
    So plug the phone into the computer that it normally syncs with and update via iTunes.

  • I need help with an Apple ID problem...

    I own a Macbook and an iPod touch, I have downloaded numerous apps for the iPod over the years. 18 months ago my boyfriend got an iPhone 3GS and created an Apple ID but it would not let him download apps due to some kind of issue registering his bank card. At the time I tried to sort it out and told him to get in touch with Apple support but he was impatient and wanted to start getting apps right away so I caved in and let him use my Apple ID. The next day I realised this was a stupid thing to do when all his apps started appearing in my iTunes. However I didn't see it as too much of a problem at the time...
    Tomorrow I am going to pick up my shiny new iPhone 5 (my first iPhone ) and I am worried about plugging it into my Mac and having all these apps that I really don't want around in my iTunes. I am imagining an absolute pain in the bum trying to sort all these apps out and syncing them to the right devices? I would absolutely love to just shift all his apps over to his Apple ID, he has loads of stuff that he needs to keep now. He does not have a computer himself, but there is no real need to plug his iPhone into my macbook ever again. After having a quick read around the forums, there seems to be no simple answer to this problem. If anyone could help with this I would be extremely grateful!

    DoubleSkin wrote:

    You can't. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them. In your case, that would be your ID. He really needs to get his own ID, delete these apps, then purchase them using his ID.
    For you, just delete what you don't want from your iTunes library.

  • I need help getting the software updates

    i was constantly disconnecting from the internet when playing online games on the mac side of my hard drive until i got a software update, but i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition, so i still frequently disconnect when playing games on windows, anybody know what the problem is or how i can get the software updates on the windows side?

    i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition
    Of course it didn't. Mac updates don't affect windows, and vice versa.

  • I need help with the new updates

    I completed the Iphone IOS 7 update but now my itunes says i need the new version.  After i downloaded that it then said i need to have at least OS X v 10.8 or higher i have no idea what that is???

    It says 10.5.8 so this means i have to buy Mountain Lion so I can run the new Itunes?
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x Which is the Minimum requirement for iTunes v 11.1
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • Need help with Xperia Ray Update and software

    Hello,
    I am here to ask about 2 main topics, I need a professional opinion about them,
    First, I was wondering why My ray doesn't have the 3d camera application although I saw it in other Ray phones from another countries - I am from Egypt - Is that an application that comes with the country?!!
    and why I can see a voice dialer application in settings/applications/manage applications, but when I try to find it and use it, I can't find it's shortcut anywhere?
    Second, I received the new ICS system update 4.0.2.A.0.62 but I haven't installed it yet on my mobile, because I'm afraid that it will affect on the speed and battery of my phone, so I really need your opinion about that, is that update going to slow down my phone or not ?
    and if it is going to slow down my phone, is there any other update that might be better.
    Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to you all.

    it seems that ICS might not be available in your country and/or by your carrier if you want it

  • I need help with getting an update for my 1st generation ipod shuffle.

    I am trying to install iTunes and iPod software on my computer but the iPod cd is apparently not compatible with my version of windows. I need to download an update but I cannot get any support because my 1st generation iPod shuffle is not one of the selections available for support. Does anyone know how I can download the update I need?

    Neil, I installed itunes but that hasn't helped the issue I am having with my 1st generation iPod. I have searched and searched but there is nothing that allows me to update my iPod, download to my iPod, all I see is iPhone or iPad, neither of which I happen to own, so I am still at square one with my problem. I can't get any Apple support because my iPod is not one of the choices, no mention of the 1st generation. It's as if it no longer exists and there is no support available. I tried plugging it into my usb port, hoping that something would pop up on the screen and give me guidance, but alas, that failed as well. I feel like this whole thing is an exercise in futility.  Thanks for your attempt to assist me.

  • I need help with the Security Update 2006-002!

    Security update has really screwed up the two systems I've installed it on:
    1) My G4 PowerBook refused to reboot after the update, getting only as far as the initialApple screen. Rebooting with a 10.4 install disk and using Disk Utilities to try to repair the disk either results in an "Unable to unmount disk" error, or if Repair does proceed, it is unable to repair the disk. I get a "Invalid node structure" error message, then a "Rebuilding B-Tree" message, then a "The Voluma Macintosh HD could not be repaird" message, and Repair quits with a "Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit" message.
    2) On my Dual 2 GHz G5 desktop, Safari appears to be unable to load more than six URL:s in 6 tabs; I read about 20 webcomics all organized in a bookmarks folder, and my usual practice is to select "Open in tabs" to open them all at once. Heretofore Safari has opened all the tabs and all the URLs without a hitch. After the update it will open all the ttabs but only about the first six sites load - all the rest just sit there spinning their wheels.
    Also it has hosed iChat on my Dsktop. iChat will open, but will not send or receive chats, and will not open the buddy window.
    Also Also, the system frequently hangs, seizing up anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, then resuming normally. Safari seems to be the culprit, but I can't really tell.
    I need an update to recover from the effects of the last update.

    I'm not very knowledgeable on macs yet being a new user (switcher) However, there appear to have been too many problems for too many people and too many systems associated with this update for it to be co-incidental. Take a look through the topics since the update appeared. My computer is brand new. The update did something that screwed something in the startup file (or whatever) The nice man in India helped me get the computer going by removing all sorts of wonderous things, this after his colleague in Cork had sent me all sorts of stuff to my work address to try out when I got home, like pram and nvram (which only made things worse) and other things. Now my computers fixed. Except that there's now no printer, it won't find the drivers off the install discs and any driver I load from canon isn't recognised or a script isn't recognised. I bought this thing to get away from problems like this on PCs!!!!
