Can't install new 2.1 firmware

Here are the steps that lead up to my problem.
- I synced my iphone 2G with itunes 7.7
- updated to itunes 8 (and rebooted macbook as instructed)
- repeated the iphone sync
- rss news of 2.1 firmware availability arrives
- begin another iphone sync
- I click on UPDATE button
- 2.1 firmware downloads but extraction fails with error (-19)
- sync aborts because iphone dropped out of sync mode ("Sync in Progress" goes away on phone)
- unmount & unplug iphone from usb
- reconnect iphone to usb
- itunes alert that new firmware (2.1) available
- I select to install the new update
- iphone never goes into sync mode (no "Sync in Progress" on phone)
- the backup prior to 2.1 install fails with -19 error
However, if I choose NOT to install the new 2.1 firmware, the iphone immediately goes into sync mode and a successful sync completes. I'd like to install the 2.1 update but that means the iphone won't go into sync mode and the update subsequently aborts because of it.
Any ideas?

Problem solved. Here's what I did.
- Completed a successful sync with 2.02 firmware / itunes 8 (slow!)
- Kept the iphone plugged in (i.e. did not unmount it)
- Clicked UPDATE in itunes
- Upgrade to 2.1 proceeded just fine this time!
So, once I completed a sync then the trick (for me) was to not unplug the iphone and then re-plug it in again for another sync/update attempt. It seems that clicking on the INSTALL button (itunes new software alert dialog) while itunes wants to just do a sync caused the problem. Why, I don't know. Saying no to the update, allowing the sync to complete (took ~1 hour) and then clicking on UPDATE does the trick for me.
2.1 is working fine for me now and syncs do happen much faster.

  • Can't install new MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2

    Hi all. I've tried to update to the newly released MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2, but when I go to run it, it says that my MacBook doesn't need updating. I know that I'm on the older 1.0 Firmware with Boot ROM Version MB21.00A5.B07. Any guesses as to why this new update won't run on my MacBook? It's supposed to be for all versions. Thanks for your help.

    Are you getting this update from the automatic updater? If not, you don't need it and you certainly don't want it.
    Unlike software updates, one should never attempt to install a firmware update that is not specifically designed for that machine. Downloading and attempting to install firmware that is not correct can result in corrupted EFI and the need for the firmware restore CD.
    You did make a firmware restore CD as instructed, I hope. It's the first step.

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working. 

  • Can't Install New Apps

    I can't install new applications to my iPod Touch. I've restored the iPod, reset both it and the computer but it still won't work. The unknown error code is 0xE8000050.

    You may want to test with a different free app. Also try to restart the device, and try to sign out then back in the iPhone.
    Turn off Cellular data as that won't work if it's a huge app.

  • TS3824 How can we install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?

    How can I install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0, if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?  My computer has 5 vertical purple lines against white screen at startup before the Apple logo appears and the spinning gear...then everything disappears and the screen hangs on the white screen.  I have tried unplugging and removing all my peripherals and the COMMAND, OPTION, P & R set of keys and still nothing.  I have tried COMMAND C to start up from cd and it only tells me to turn off the computer and turn it back on.  I found information on Apple's Support pages regarding the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but I am unable to download and install if I can't get to the Apple menu.  Can anyone help?

    You may have hardware problem, I think a visit to your local Apple Store or AASP is in order.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Since 28th December I can't  install new apps and can't  update my newspaper. How can this problem be solved?

    I can't update my newspaper "Welt HD", nor can I install new apps from the app store.
    When I try to install an app, only new Icon shows up and is showing "waiting" forever. When I tried to update my newspaper, it only shows "loading" forever.
    When my iPad connects to the W-LAN, for a sudden I have IP Traffic in downstream. When I turn off my iPad, the traffic goes away.
    I tried to turn off and reset my iPad several times with no result.
    Many thanks for all tips,
    Regards

    The problem is solved by using backup from iCloud.

  • I still can´t install new Symbian ANNA, my Ovi Sui...

    I still can´t install new Symbian ANNA, my Ovi Suite and N8 still writte "No updates  availeble". I tried every option, which is avaible for update, but answer is still the same : "No updates  availeble". Do you know, where is problem and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for reply

    US typically gets the updates late because the laws there require certain additional software. For example, there the phones are required to transmit GPS data to 911 if the phone is capable of doing so, in other countries this piece of software is unneeded. Thats just one thing I can remember off the top of my head apart from the info that AFAIK software will also have to be approved by the FCC over there before it gets released.

  • Satellite L650-1M0 - CAN'T install new display driver

    Hello!
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-1M0 and i CAN'T install new drivers to my graphic card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD site. Why i cannot do it? I want to install the latest display drivers because i have problems with display mode. My laptop is set on 16:9 but some programs display in 4:3.
    Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what should i do to download drivers from AMD site. I have Windows 7 64x ;).

    >Why i cannot do it?
    Im really wondering you are asking something like this. It is well known that support for mobile units (notebooks) is offered by notebook manufacturer and not by hardware manufacturer.
    Due to specific notebook design and limited cooling performance graphic card cannot be upgraded as on graphic cards designed for desktops. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be graphic card damage or switch-offs because of critical hardware temperature.

  • I can't install new software update!

    I can't install new software update! for my Nokia 6500 slide.
    when install the new software on to my laptop, Vista home premium, service pack one.
    It give me this error "error 2738 could not access VBScript run time for cutom action".??????
    Can anyone help me please?
    How **bleep**.

    Impossible to say without more details other than "I can't install". If you'll post full details, including whether you're attempting to update from the iPad directly or from iTunes on a computer, where things are breaking down, what error messages if any you're getting, and any other details pertinent to your issue, then someone can perhaps offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Can I install new/different software in home hub 2...

    Hi all,
    I want to remove/unassign ports that have been associated with games and application previously used, but unfortunately my home hub 2 (Software version 4.7.5.1.83.3.37 (Type B)) does not provide this function!
    Apparently it is a bug in the Type B where once a port is assigned, it can no longer be used / assigned to a new/different application!!! Stooopid!
    Does anyone no if it is possible to install new software that would provide this functionality? maybe home hub 3 software? if this is even possible... Or, (this is probably the wrong forum to be posting this in lolol) is there a way to hack the hub 2 to run different software all together, Linksys maybe?
    It would probably just be easier to go out and buy a Linksys router lol.. but I like to break things!

    I doubt there are any custom firmwares for the homehub. As I've explained it's a consumer grade device which isn't designed to be buggered about with. Also, unless the hardware was identical to another device you can't simply load linksys firmware on to a non linksys device, or netgear firmware on to a non netgear device and so on as they would simply not work.
    Grab a Netgear DGN2200 from your local currys/PCWorld or your favourite online retailer. Much less bother.
