10.4.7 Intel Update - Firmware update required?
I don't currently have an internet connection and would like to update from 10.4.4 to 10.4.7 . I have the intel combo update but a little bird tells me a firmware update is required also thhough I can't find mention of this anywhere!
Is this true and if so can someone point this blind noob in the right direction?
TIA
Jase
HI, Jason.
You are correct in that the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update" document does not specify that the "iMac (early 2006) SMC Firmware Update" as a prerequisite.
However, the "iMac (early 2006) SMC Firmware Update" does state in its "System Requirements" (box in lower-right corner) that one should be running "Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later."
So, it would seem you should update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later (such as 10.4.7) before applying the "iMac (early 2006) SMC Firmware Update."
Good luck!

Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware
Hiya,
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro,it is Mac OS X version 10.4.8, i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)?
I also tried to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2, however it says the computer doesn't need to install it. And I checked my Boot ROM Version is MBP22.00A5.B00. After the update it should be: MBP11.0055.B08 (MacBook Pro 15 inch). So I don't know what to do?
please help!
Thanks.
Catherine"Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware"
You don't "need" to install anything. If you think you can benefit from the updates then go ahead.
"i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)? "
If it came with 10.4.8 preinstalled, then you do not need to install it.
"So I don't know what to do?"
Nothing. If it says the update isn't needed, then it's already been applied at the factory. -
Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot
Hello everyone
Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
hope someone can help me
Best Regards
krebblyes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
Are there other ways to boot an ISO file? -
went to install os mavericks and got this message: MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 need. tried that and got: This update requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later, please advise.mac
OK. Now, you say you got this alert through App Store when trying to download Mavericks or after you downloaded it and were trying to install it? Which is the correct case?
The error you are getting may sometimes occur when the computer has already been updated, but I don't know why you would be getting this message. I can only suggest that you take it in for service to find out why this is happening. -
Should I update Intel MEI Firmware or not?
You know, there is this little chip on every last-gen laptop's motherboard (apple macbooks either) called Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI), and it has its own firmware that is upgradable. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2013 Retina, Haswell based), and it has the Intel MEI Firmware verion 9.5.3.1526, you can check it yourself using Intel MEInfo Tool (detailed info here):
The question is, can I update this firmware with the newer one that is available (version 9.5.41.1904) here? Is it safe or not? Anyone tried?Zhyrnov wrote:
The benefits are the same as with BIOS\EFI update like bugfixes, improvements, etc. Probably, this new firmware resolves the known 30% CPU Idle issue, I don't know, but I want to try.
You may want to create a system restore point before you update, so you can roll back easily.
Zhyrnov wrote:
Apple boards are nothing but the same Intel boards with Intel chips and logics using some kind of custom design, so I think it is not so much Apple-related thing.
Apple has written a lot of their own firmware, the latest example is the iMac 5K with ATI cards, which have issues with WHQL drivers. GPU drivers are also similar. Another example is the absence of WiDi on Intel hardware, since Apple has their own AirPlay. It is worth a test, if you keep careful backups of Windows and the OSX to be prepared for disaster. -
I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.
If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Computer will not boot up after OS 10.4(intel) update
I received a pop-up today that indicated updates required for iTunes, Quicktime and the OS. I believe the iTunes and Quicktime proceeded with no problem. The OS update (which had Intel in parenthesis) was a huge download and after a long period of time I received a message that download failed, file moved to trash. Also received prompt to Cancel or Restart. I selected restart. The computer never rebooted it is perpetually displaying the apple symbol in the center of the white screen with a cursor indicating loading. I shut the power down manually several times but to no avail. Is there some kind of key to hold down to go into safe mode?
Message was edited by: MaguireOK, I used my MAC OS X install disk to get to the Disk Utilities. I ran verify disk check and repaired a minor "Volume Header" issue. This did not solve anything. I can choose to restart by the Install disk or the installed 10.4.11 OS both fail to start. Is it necessary to re-install OS X?

You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

Get this error when trying to install Logic patch 9.1.4 to my machine.
An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.Thx, but i had already read that and tried it: did not work.
Got it fixed now by reinstalling Logic Studio 9 from DVD.
That indeed creates the Logic Pro folder in Applications - something I had tried earlier by simply moving my existing Logic folder. This means the Logic 9.1.5 update does not simply check a folder name: there must be another entry/registry entry it checks. Reinstalling Logic Studio from scratch solved it for me.
After reinstalling thought Lion forgot my Focusrite Saffire 40, so no DAW. Solved that by reading a forum entry on beta drivers.
So I am happy, music creation wise.
Left for me is to solve the X Mail application saying it does not run under Lion!

what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.
1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

The Moon Worm - Infects Home Routers - Shows Fake "Adobe Flash Critical Update Required" Message
Greetings,
This morning we had numerous workstations pop up with an Adobe Flash error. The browser will be taken over by an Adobe Flash Critical Update Required page and won't let the browser go to any other internet site. Within the page, a box will pop up that says: "Attention! your current version of Adobe Flash Player is outdated! Your computer is vulnerable to malware now. Update your Adobe Flash player now."
This message pops up on IE Explorer version 9-11, Google Chrome and Firefox and the operating systems are Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 pro. It has all the behavior of a virus or malware so I don't want to run it's download file which is named install_flashplayer_12_x32_64_msaa_aax_latest.exe.
I've been able to download both flash player installs from the Adobe.com site for both IE and Other Browsers. Sometimes I've been able to run the installs and it shows that the download and install ran okay with Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX showing up in the installed programs list. Other times, the install won't run and the install file mysteriously gets deleted. Even after the successful download and install, the browser works briefly okay and then gets seized by the "Critical Update Required" page again.
We're running AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition which is kept updated. A scan with this program and an updated version of Malwarebytes isn't showing any viruses or malware that could cause this problem.
What can I do to get rid of this "Critical Update Required" problem and get our browsers working again?
Thanks.
Bill J., Lexington, KYI have a Cisco E3000 Wireless N Router. I was having the issue accross OSX and Windows. This thread was a big help, but when I tried to get the latest firmware from Cisco I found the download link was no lnger present. I chatted with their support and obtained the following info if it helps anyone:
"Linksys is aware of the malware called “The Moon” that has affected select older Linksys E-Series routers and select older Wireless-N access points and routers. The exploit to bypass the admin authentication used by the worm only works when the Remote Management Access feature is enabled. Linksys ships these products with the Remote Management Access feature turned off by default."
" If you have not enabled the Remote Management Access feature of the router, you are not susceptible to this specific malware. If you have enabled the Remote Management Access feature, we can prevent further vulnerability to your network by disabling the Remote Management Access feature and rebooting your router to remove the installed malware. Linksys will be working on the affected products with a firmware fix that is planned to be posted on our website in the coming weeks."
"What we can do to fix this issue is to make sure that the router's security settings is enabled and the remote management is disabled."
"Ensure that the Filter Anonymous Internet Requests on the Security Page is enabled."
"The next step would disconnect us from the session. We need to reboot the router to clear the cache."
"According to the system, your product is already outside the complimentary assisted support period. I’d just like to inform you that we normally charge a fee for supporting this type of issue,
but since we’re seeing a potential hardware problem with the product, we’ll be extending complimentary support just this one time."
"We also need to upgrade the Firmware. However, the Firmware for this router is no longer available for download. Disabling the remote management on your router and securing it would help fix the issue."
I did find the latest firmware for the E3000 here: http://www.userdrivers.com/LAN-Network-Adapter/Linksys-E3000-Wireless-N-Router-Firmware-Up date-1-0-04-build-6/download/ -

Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I am new to Visual Basic programing and i am trying to understand the relationships between Datasets, database, table Adaptors. I have to following code that is is giving me the following error" Unable to load, Update requires a valid DeleteCommand
when passed DataRow collection with deleted rows".
I can track the error and its located in "OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)" code. What am i missing?
It seems that i can delete the data on the DataGridView Table and it only displays the correct data. but my database is not updating, even though the data grid displays differently.I can determine this because, when i save the offset database, i have all
the previous uploads and all the rows that i wanted to delete are still there.
My final goal is to be able to import offset data from a CSV file, save this data on the pc, send a copy of this data to a NuermicUpDown so the customer can modify certain numbers. From here they download all the date to a controller. IF the customer
needs to modify the imported data, they can go to a tab with a data grid view and modify the table. They will also have to option to save the modified data into a csv file.
Im not sure if i am making this overcomplicated or if there is a easier way to program this.
CODE:
Private Function LoadOffSetData()
Dim LoadOffsetDialog As New OpenFileDialog 'create a new open file dialog and setup its parameters
LoadOffsetDialog.DefaultExt = "csv"
LoadOffsetDialog.Filter = "csv|*.csv"
LoadOffsetDialog.Title = "Load Offset Data"
LoadOffsetDialog.FileName = "RollCoaterOffset.csv"
If LoadOffsetDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'show the dialog and if the result is ok then
Try
Dim myStream As New System.IO.StreamReader(LoadOffsetDialog.OpenFile) 'try to open the file with a stream reader
If (myStream IsNot Nothing) Then 'if the file is valid
For Each oldRow As MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTableRow In MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable.Rows
oldRow.Delete()
'delete all of the existing rows
Next
'OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)
Dim rowvalue As String
Dim cellvalue(25) As String
'Reading CSV file content
While myStream.Peek() <> -1
Dim NRow As MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTableRow
rowvalue = myStream.ReadLine()
cellvalue = rowvalue.Split(","c) 'check what is ur separator
NRow = MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable.Rows.Add(cellvalue)
Me.OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(NRow)
End While
Me.OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)
MainOffset.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.MainOffsetValue 'saves all the table offsets
to the offset numericUpDown registers in the main window
StationOffset01.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.Station01Value
StationOffset02.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.Station02Value
myStream.Close() 'close the stream
Return True
Else 'if we were not able to open the file then
MsgBox("Unable to load, check file name and location") 'let the operator know that the file wasn't able to open
Return False
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Unable to load, " + ex.Message)
Return False
End Try
Else
Return False
End If
End FunctionHello SaulMTZ,
>>I can track the error and its located in "OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)" code. What am i missing?
This error usually shows that you do not initialize the
DeleteCommand object, you could check this
article to see if you get a workaround.
>> Im not sure if i am making this overcomplicated or if there is a easier way to program this.
If you are working CSV file, you could use OleDB to read it which would treat the CSV file as a Table:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27802/Using-OleDb-to-Import-Text-Files-tab-CSV-custom
which seems to be easier (in my opinion).

My mac keeps saying "Update required" at boot time
Hi,
This is really beginning to drive me nuts. Every time I boot my Mac (ok, its not every day I do that, but still) it prompts with two options:
1) Update Required
2) Log on as Guest.
When I click option 1 and enter my password, the system boots and I get the normal grey login screen and can log on using my password.
No updates are available.
I then shut down the mac, and everything repeats itself. I cannot get rid of this "Update required" thing and its a bit annoying that I need to logon twice every time.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks a million in advance.
