6500 Slide + Mac = Update Issues

I'm wanting to update the firmware on my 6500 Slide, I'm on a Mac. I have BT, and the update section on my phone allows me to update using BT. I just can't find the darned software to download. The beta Mac software doesn't support this phone... LOL. Any help?
Currently I'm on v 04.81.

Hi 6500macman
Unfortunately you would have to install Windows under BootCamp or use Parallels on your Mac to enable you to use Nokia Software Updater. Although there has been a menu option for updates over the air, in view of increasing size of firmware update and a reluctance for networks to embrace this feature it has never come to anything.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • Nokia 6500 Slide Software Update

    I purchased the Nokia 6500 Slide phone at Christmas. I was having a problem with receiving photos and telephoned Nokia. They asked me the version of software on the phone - think it's 3.8. I was told it needed updating to the 4.84 version. I was given the name of a local Nokia Engineer who would be able to do this for me. I have contacted the company and have been told that they would be happy to do this for me, but I would have to leave the phone with them for two days.
    Having just read some comments on a website it seems the latest version is in fact 6.60 but there appear to be conflicting views on the software.
    Can anyone please advise me whether I am safer sticking with the original software on the phone or having it updating to the 4.84 version - what are the advantages of the new software?
    Many thanks

    Hi there Hamraam, been reading this thread and if you continue to have the problems with your phone, I would suggest taking your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at. That is strange that calendar entries and personalised settings are not being restored to your phone after the update.
    It is unlikely that Nokia will release another firmware update for the 6500 Slide. It was released in October 2006 or thereabouts, same as the 5610 XpressMusic, and with the release of newer models, the support cycle for the 6500 Slide has most likely ended with the release of the last update, 10.00, for unbranded product codes of the handset. 
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • Acrobat 9.2.0 (mac) update issues

    Trying to update from Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro to 9.2.0 on Mac OS 10.9.  Upon launching the updater, it asks which Acrobat application I want to update.  When I browse to the Acrobat Pro folder under "Applications", the Acrobat Pro app itself is grayed out so I cannot select it.  Screenshot is below.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Acrobat udpates sequentially. First install Acrobat 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3 then you should be able to install 9.2.

  • 6500 slide display screen issues

    Hello, first post and first problem with my phone so far, i'm still trying to figure out whats wrong with it.
    I bought my slide from a cell phone vendor in Singapore, and thankfully i have insurance so if anything is unfixable my insurance will take care of it, but i haven't looked into what id have to do to get that done since im here in the us.
    My problem is this. Recently, my screen or display is starting to do some weird stuff. Sometimes the screen just goes all black, and i cant see anything on it, i can see that it is backlit, that there is at least power going there, but no picture, and sometimes, the normal image of the phone is seriously distorted, like someone switched the colors on a laptop display from 1 million to like 36 colors, not cool. While this is happening though, all the functions of the phone are operating, i can hear when i enter in numbers, and i can dial my voicemail, and im sure if i could remember the key sequence to say....play a mp3 i think i could do that as well. This seems to happen when i slide the phone out, but not always, sometimes the slide will be in, and it wont show anything, and then ill slide it out and nothing happens, so nothing concrete but this is happening. But it always consistently comes back at some point. sometimes ill just leave the phone slid in with the screen black, and eventually it will come back....
    When i had first got my phone, something similar to this had happened, but never for longer than a few seconds. A couple of times after i had been using a bluetooth stereo headset, i had switched off the headset, and then later wanted to reconnect it, but the phone for some reason had it still listed in actively connected bluetooth devices. So i would cycle bluetooth off and then on again. After turning blue tooth off, the phones screen would blank, as if it was restarting, and then i would wait a second, and then the normal stuff like icons and network and all that stuff would come back, like it was thinking real hard or something.
    I thought that it might be software related, i have some games on my phone, and maybe there were problems caused by them, or i thought it might be because i had been using a 6gb hcsd micro card in the phone. I had been using it in the phone for a while, with no issues whatsoever, but then this started happening, so i took it out and put in a 2gb micro sd card that i have as well.
    I just finished installing the latest phone software, and i had done this once before, when a new version came out, so now i have the newest phone software available. Now....after i did this successfully, i examined the phone again, slid it in and out, and the screen went blank a few times, then came back a few times. I decided to shut off the power and then turn it back on, and it seems, as if this is not happening any longer, though i think pessimistically that it might happen again.
    If anyone out there has experienced something similar or exactly like this, and has found a solution please let me know.
    I'm worried that it is hardware related, or permanent damage to whatever counts as a phones bios or firmware, but i cannot be sure.
    Any help or info is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    Hi all.
    Thank you both for your input as far as my problem with the phone is concerned. I had done some reasearch on the problem, and due to the fact that i am in the United states, i decided to see if i could get the phone repaired here locally. I found a place that works specifically on nokia phones, and they looked at my phone and said that they thought that it needed a new flex cable and a new lcd screen.
    I was unable to find parts that i could buy singularly from any vendor, although i was able to find parts for my phone at a website called http://www.tessco.com/
    The people i brought the phone to said that my phone needed a new audiovisual flex assembly, and a new lcd screen, as tessco calls them here: look under flex assemblies. they do not sell lcd replacement screens apparently.
    http://www.tessco.com/products/bmd/listItemsForSel​ectedCategory.do?bmdTypeId=007_26&mfgName=007_26_N​...
    I could not buy my parts from tessco because they will only do batch orders of 125 or more for each part. So, i looked around on ebay, and found 2 auctions where i found an lcd screen, and an AV flex assembly for my phone.
    here are the auction links
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1​&item=120217680995&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1​&item=110206704806&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=001
    i purchased these two parts and the repair guys here locally said they looked good. They repaired my phone using them, and when it was done, apparently they said everything was fine.
    Shortly thereafter, i was using my phone, and the same problem keeps on happening. The screen is still going black intermittently, and it is driving me insane.
    What i am thinking is that something that i DIDNT replace is defective, but no one can seem to figure out what that is, or doesnt know.
    If anyone can contribute some info to my problem, please help.
    And thank you.

  • CS 5.5 (Mac) Update Issues

    I've been stuck on Dreamwever CS 5.5 Build 5366 (v 11.5.1.5366) for well over a year now and none of my other CS products (Photoshop, Flash Builder, Fireworks, Illustrator, etc.) have been updating.  It seems that when the updater updated itself (currently Adobe Application Manager is v 7.0.0.233), there have been no updates.  The only updates I am getting from Adobe are for Acrobat, which I think has it's own seperate updater?
    It cannot be possible that there were only 2-3 version pushes from the CS 5.5 launch.  Just not possible.  There are too many patches that have needed to happen since the launch.  I refuse to go to CC and just want my CS 5.5 to work properly and update itself with any of the patches out there.
    Can anyone assist?  I have also tried to find a phone number to call for Adobe support, but apparently they have taken those down?
    Much thanks in advance,
    Dan

    There have been no updates for CS5.5 since CS6 was launched in April of
    2012. If you're that sure there are updates you don't have then go to
    Adobe.com and click on downloads. You'll find all patches there.

  • Elements 12 for Mac update issue

    Updating Elements 12 (Photoshop Camera Raw 8.2)requires autoanalyzer to be shutdown yet the Elements preferences for media analysis are all deselected and the run menu option greyed out.
    Anyone have a resolution for this?

    with elements 12 closed, open your adobe creative cloud app (or adobe application manager) and update from there.
    if necessary restart your computer and update before opening elements 12.

  • Phone update for 6500 slide

    I have used Nokia Software Updater before to update this type of phone and it updated okay to the latest firmware.
    But this latest phone it won't recognise, i am using a standard nokia USB cable and it does keep losing connection so i thought it could be a broken cable but i think it could be the phone not being recognized as it came from China and seems to have Chinese Network and Pinyin branding because if you do a factory reset it defaults to Chinese language.
    I am able to use Virgin Sim card and also eventually got T-moble internet access on the phone.
    Software Details are -
    V 05.41
    30-11-07
    RM-278
    (c) Nokia
    It always defaults to upper case when texting.
    Will debranding get rid of the chinese?

    Please, try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool first. Is your Nokia 6500 slide shown in the Nokia Suite or the PC Suite? If not, is your phone correctly shown in the Windows Device Manager? If not, did you right-click in the Windows Device Manager and select ‘Update Driver …’?

    If you want to get rid of this uppercase stuff (because of Chinese), you have to change the set of languages. The set of languages are determined by the firmware variant. And the firmware variant is determined by the 7-letter (product) code which is printed on the label underneath the battery.
    If you change the model code (RM-xxx) you break your phone because those firmwares do not fit to the hardware (frequency bands, …).
    Okay, changing the product code, officially only Nokia Care Points do that, officially. It won’t fix your Nokia Software Updater issue but that uppercase stuff.

  • My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

    The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
    I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
    Any help would be apprecated.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • 6500 slide issues (list it here)

    I hope to create a single thread to list and discuss all issues users are having with their 6500 slide.
    Let me start with mine:
    V 0.380
    10-09-07
    RM-240
    Variant: 255.02
    1. sometimes the buttons (numbers or options) becomes unrepsonsive; give it a wait and it works again.
    2. Ringtone and Message Alert tone goes back to default; or display some weird alphabet+numbers after a while. And i had to manually set back my favourite ringtone for both calls and message. This happens to the default 'General' and renaming MyStyle1.
    3. do you find the battery lasting? not for me.

    I got my 6500 slide 3 days ago and I have the same firmware version as you - as well as some of the same problems.
    The screen/buttons hang, and I have to wait or press the end button repeatedly to get back to the main screen and start all over again. A few times I had to repeatedly push the unlock + * buttons to unlock the phone. I also have problems viewing my contact info in the PC Suite...
    And I have scratches on the "2" key on the number pad. Is this just "wear" or is it a defect, as I see this problem reported by many others. I'd like to know so that I don't look like I have OCD when I go to the store for an exchange.

  • 6500 slide battery issue

    Got a new 6500 slide on thurs, charged it overnight as was told by shop, and by friday night after checking out the phones features, sending around 15 txt, and receiving 1 phone call, i get the battery low sign...
    Looking at the specs on the website, its supposed to have 13.25 (i think) days standby time, so with minimal usage, around 6 days? I cant even get one, what should i do?

    Hi,
    I had my 6500 slide in Steel delivered just over a month ago and had read many worrying reviews about the battery life. I'd also read many reviews that said the opposite though.
    After carefully charging the Li-Poly battery for a good 16 hours on the first charge, the phone managed a paltry 24 hours just like yours. I continued for 6 days completely discharging the phone and then recharging it fully to no avail. I turned off all the power hunger features (3G, Bluetooth, Screensaver etc ) and turned on the power saving mode. Still nothing.
    I called my operator who claimed they'd never heard of this sort of problem. I demanded a replacement battery immediately, which duly arrived two days later. Transit seemed to have scuffed the edges of this battery as it had simply been thrown in a paper envelope (no bubble wrap) but I noticed it was a Li-Ion battery unlike the Li-Poly that Nokia issued in the box.
    This has TRANSFORMED the battery life. It will run for up to 6 days with normal use eg. Permanent standby, a few calls, lots of music on the commute, some texting and the odd Photo (I'm impressed with the camera).
    Get a replacement battery ASAP, I'd go for the older LI-ION even though it's a bit heavier. With all the Stainless Steel you don't notice.

  • Software issue with nokia 6500 slide handsets

    Hi All
    I have 2 nokia 6500 slide handsets that seem to have the same issue that driving me mad..
    It seems no matter how many times i set a ringtone and screen saver, the phone reverts back to the standard nokia ringtone and a blank screensaver???
    I have phoned my network provider who dont seem to be of any help at all and just keep advising me that i should try upgrading the software via the pc suite which ive done several times with no fix!
    Im thinking this must be a fault with this handsets/ software as both my phones are doin it and also 3 of my friends phones also are doin the same thing!
    Does anyone know why this keeps happening as im really getting fedup with having to reset my ringtone/ screen saver all the time..
    Thanxs rich

  • Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

    Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

    It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
    Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.
    Care points/service centres and repair info:
    UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
    Canada • Middle East and Africa
    Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

  • Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing.  Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

    Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

    You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
    Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
    If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.

  • 6500 slide voice issue

    Hi all,
    This is my first post so I hope someone can help.
    I have a 6500 slide and have been told that you can set the phone to voice the name of a person calling you (if they are in you contact list)
    Can anyone advise how I switch this option on
    Cheers

    some phones may have the application in it but s60 phones are more complex than s40 and there is a great range of apps and tools for these phones check this site out and have a look http://mosh.nokia.com/

  • 6500 slide usb issue?

    Recently purchased a 6500 slide and have been loving it (despite it's hefty weight for such a small phone) but have a query about it's USB port.
    Does the phone charge via the micro usb port?
    I bought a car charger that plugs into the usb port but it doesn't work. Thinking it might be the phone i plugged into my pc with the data link cable. I was able to transfer files to and from the phone and memory card but it still didn't charge while it was connected.

    maybe the 6500 slide can only be charged through the USB port using specialised car kit?...i have not charged the phone using the USB cable yet~but try to think: if the cable has to do 2 different tasks(file transfer and charging) at 1 time,wouldn't the transfer rate be extremely slow?..
