Can't run firmware updater - HELP!

Hello,
I downloaded the newest version of the bluetooth firmware updater to be able to use my headset "nxzen" for skype with me powerbook. I was able to pair the device, but when I change it in "sounds" it is not working.
I was told to update the firmware. And when I want to run it out of utilities, it tells shows this failiure message "This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
Any suggestions? Funny enough, that I can sent pics from and to my V3 easily...
Please, help....!!!! This is simply driving me nuts!!!!

TS1717 I can't run an update in iTunes until I know how to close the account. Can someone please help me?

I need to run an update for iTunes but it won't run until I 'close' it. Could someone tell me how to do this? Just clicking on the red button
doesn't work. Thanks

Which are you working on, a Mac (which you state in your profile and would seem to be indicated by your reference to a "red button") or a Windows system (this being the iTunes for Windows forum) and what OS version are you running?
If you're running a Mac, clicking the red "close" button just closes the window; it does not quit the iTunes program. You have to actually use the Quit iTunes command.
Regards.

Can't find firmware update in folder it's supposed to be in

I just purchased the iMac software install CD for Mac OS9.2 and tried to install it on my very old blueberry imac which is now running 8.6. I started the computer up from the CD and everything loads in correctly to start but when I try to install it, a message comes up saying that the firmware needs to be updated and that it is in the CD extras folder. When I open that folder I don't see anything that says anything about firmware updates. Am I overlooking something or is it called something else and I'm just not looking for the right thing? I've exhausted every book I can find and there isn't much about OS9 or firmware in any of them. I don't have that computer hooked up to the internet at the time so I can't download updates. I have access to an iMac (intel) if I can do something to a disk (I've honestly never tried it yet with the new iMac) I just hope you aren't going to tell me I bought the wrong disk, I have a dreadful feeling that $40 later I'm out of luck. I've already been majorly taken by the apple store that screwed up this computer in the first place (sold me and installed the wrong memory, then when nothing would work properly said the memory wasn't right, they took OSX out and said it would not run on this computer, installed OS9 without charging me because of all of the problems, but never gave me a disk for it. Then one day the dreaded blinking question mark appeared and OS9 would never run again so I'm back to good old 8.6 and thought I'd try again. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. It would mean the world to me if I could get this running in OS9.
blueberry imac 333MHZ Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier upgraded memory

Hi, KAC13 -
As Niel has stated, the OS 9.1 CD, p/n 691-2746-A, will work.
The p/n for the retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (North American English) is 691-3334-A.
Both of those CDs will contain any firmware update required in order to install that version on your model. It would be advisable to test run the disk before proceeding to remove your existing OS 8.6 - boot to it, then try the installer. If you get the "your need to update the firmware" protest at any point, you will still have OS 8.6 on the machine and so be able to install the firmware update.
If that protest does occur, copy the sub-folder containing the firmware update for your model from the CD to the hard drive before trying to install it.

Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it. Did not try to upgrade OS until recently. Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1." I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
Who can help me out the this Catch-22? I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

Hi CursedIn,
If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

X230 SSD Firmware Update help

Hello,
We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
Thanks for the support

We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
Thanks for the support.

Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

minxlj,
It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
Staffan,
As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

Running firmware update on an unlocked ex-Orange N...

I have a Nokia 6680 that I originally bought on contract from Orange. However, as the contract expired, I recently purchased the phone's unlock code from Orange so that I could use it with other SIMs.
I have just successfully installed and run the new firmware updater (v1.3.0, I think), and have updated the phone from firmware v3.04.07 to v4.04.07. However, I know that newer versions of the firmware are available from Nokia (there is a v.6-something). Does anyone have any idea why the new firmware versions are not available to me?
I was expecting the updater to remove the infamous Orange menu from the phone, but that hasn't happened. Do I need to do something before running the update in order to prepare it for installing a later firmware update?
The only other info I can give you is that the phone is version 'RM-36'.
Any advice that anyone can offer would be very much appreciated!
Nokia 6680 owner

Thanks, patc. That sounds like it makes sense. Kind of annoying - especially as Orange charged me 20UKP for the unlock code (and it took a month of hassling them to get it emailed to my correct email address after they typed it incorrectly the first time!).
The v.4 firmware does seem to have opened up a few more features - particularly noticeably on the camera - but the later versions sound even better.
Now, I just need to find an English-speaking Nokia Service Centre in Beijing, where I live...! That might have to wait until next time I'm back in London, I think

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Everything is okay from the first boot up.., browsing the bios (since i just used the optimal default or standard setting), windows 7 installation, drivers installation and installing and playing BF3 for a while.
But every time I tried to run windows update., it always fail and saying ....restart the system etc (sorry I forgot the exact words )
How can I fix this?
Also I want to ask regarding the memory (ram) information it only register 1600 instead of the expected 2133 (on bios and speccy)
And 15.9GB is registering in speccy instead of 16GB (I know its just .1 :D) I'm just curious or anxious that there might be a problem
Thanks

Thank you Sir. I think I got the problem causing this., but I can't find the answer yet.
Here's how I find it: :D
After spending almost a day trying to make it work., I finally gave up and decided to clean install the OS. (win 7 ultimate 64)
After I re-installed the new OS there is no internet connection yet because I still have to install the LAN drivers of the motherboard.
So I downloaded the latest drivers from another another pc, saved it on a flash drive and installed it one at a time.
So I installed the LAN driver.. okay.. windows update now working.
I installed all the other motherboard (except for the Intel IRST) and ATI drivers. windows update still working.
Installed the latest Intel IRST... windows update stopped working again..., :(
so I uninstalled it.. but still windows update not working. Luckily I found the system restore and restored it to the time when I haven't installed the Intel IRST.. and its working again... :D
NOW.... I downloaded and installed the latest Intel IRST for my motherboard from Intel's website this time but the problem is still the same! the windows update stopped working again!!!!
Finally.., I just use system restore again until windows update is working.. and never installed any Intel IRST.
If you have a solution for this., please help me...

HT1237 Where can I get firmware updates for a Mid 2007 Mac mini (Macmini2,1)?

The model for some reason is taken off of the firmware update support page. I found an archive of the page from 2011 and there seems to have been an update. My current SMC Version is 1.19f2 and the update was 1.3f4 but the strange thing is that when I follow the link to download it forwards me to the late 2009 model page. Any help would be appreciated. I'd look across the internet but I'm not comfortable download firmware upgrades from a 3rd party site.
Much thanks
Edit: I found that the mid 2007, late 2006 and early 2006 use the same SMC firmware and realized that both the link from the archived page and the link for the late 2006 model on apple's page all linked to the early 2006 firmware update. I'm going to try it. If you want me to update with results reply, otherwise consider this dead...

Good moves methinks, & it is strange how they list it, here's my 2007 iMac...
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
Here's my 2005 G5...
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
So it appears it probably is nineteen!

Formated Muvo NX before firmware update, help plea

For some time ago, I formated my MuVo NX 28mb player by mistake. This caused the player the firmware to go "blank", the player would not start at all. I tried to download the firmware update, but it couldn't see the difference between my mp3 player, and a normal memory stick. Anyone have any ideas that can solve this problem?
Oh, and I apologize for bad english, as it is not my nati've language.

Is there a Recovery Mode for your player? See the sticky post at the top of the page.

MBP C2D Firmware update help

Currently my MBP C2D has firmware of Boot ROM Version:MBP22.00A5.B00
and SMC Version: 1.12f5. When attempting to update the firmware to the most up to date version it states "this computer does not need to be updated" even though it does not have the most current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too experienced the same thing, and was equally puzzled. Then I read this Special Report about the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2 at MacFixit. There, rather buried away in a paragraph towards the end, is this statement:
Not required for Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros Note that (although Apple makes no mention of the fact) EFI Firmware Update 1.2 is not applicable to Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pros.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

E66 Firmware update help

Hi All,
My name's Ty and I'm from new Zealand.
Have a question to be helped please.
My Phone tells me I currently have the lastest firmware version. Problem is that I know there's been a new update to 200.something.somthing.
Because of my product code. Nokia Software updater won't allow me to get the new software version.
Can someone please tell me how I can get this new software version ...? The reason I need it is because it's proven that this new software update will allow me to pair my E66 to my BMW and " transfer the contacts over " ...
Any help will be appreciated ... I've already taken it back to the shop I got it from and they tried the same thing
expecting a different result .... their more stupid than me, as I told them I tried NSU already ...
Thanks in advance

Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.

thanks
alex

I also have the new MBP with the C2D, and i checked everywhere to see if i needed the firmware upgrade, and couldn't find it anywhere. All the references that i found were toward the old MBP, not the new one. One question about your boot camp tho, does your cpu constantly run at about 75% load in windows, because i just installed boot camp with XP pro today, (NO problem with firmware that i found) and i was always under load. Might be something to look into.
PS, mine is 1.12f5, just like yours
