Checklist for firmware install

hello all,
At long last I am going to upgrade my original Bondi blue tray-loading 233mhz imac to OSX. THis will be fraught with anxiety because I upgraded my chip to a newer technologies 455mhz chip years ago and that chip is not quaranteed to be firmware upgradable. But after years of reading the process and now finally having a new imac to back all my schtuff up on I can take the plunge.
So... I am getting ready and I want to make sure I have the order right and the list of things I will need.
I have a 40MB hard drive as well, just another piece of info.
So, first I need to use the firmware update 1.2? I download it and follow the instructions.
Than I put the 10.4.6 disk that came with my imac g5 into the CDROM and choose disk utility and partition the drive and make sure that the first partition is 8G.
Than I can install.
correct?
thanks for you help. kt

Hi Again kt!
You don't need to purchase a License for the Mac.
When you buy the Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, the license is included.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
It can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the 10.4.7 Combo Update, to upgrade to the most current version.
Tiger System Requirements.
Additionally,
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

Zen Xtra won't connect for Firmware Install. WMP Rolled back to v

My Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra would not load firmware from it's hard dri've. It only entered into a cycle of displaying the 'Creative' then 'EAX' screens. I Downloaded the latest version of firmware 'ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03' and installed it following the instructions on the Creative website.
The install started initially but then failed because either the software installing the firmware, or the zen xtra, locked up. I left it for nearly an hour and had no choice but to cancel and try again.
Since this time I have been unable to load any version of firmware to the zen xtra. The installer says that the zen is not connected even though it is. When I do connect it, the 'autoplay' dialog appear asking me what to do. So, the computer recognises the device as 'NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra' but the firmware installer will not recognise it at all.
I have carried out a 'Reload OS' in preparation for new firmware. I have also carried out a 'Format All' and 'Clean Up' from the Recovery Menu that the zen xtra is now stuck in. All appears to be fine with the Zen's hard dri've as, on completion of the format, the hard dri'ves shows 'Freespace 3833.7MB'.
I have looked on this discussion forum and FAQ and this appears to be a common problem but have found no solutions. I have tried uninstalling Windows Mediaplayer and rolled back to v0 and reinstalling drivers and MediaSource software but problem persists. Please help.

OK. Sorted it! Try this!
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9829
Turns out you have to uninstall Windows Media Player Runtime v as well as WMP itself.
Also, if you have the problem with reduced HDD space because of installing PlayForSure firmware, you could install a bigger hard dri've. They are the generic 2.5 inch hard dri'ves fitted in Laptop Computers! My 40Gb Zex Xtra now has the 80Gb HDD I removed from my VAIO! And it was easier to do on the Zen than it was on the VAIO!

Is there a definitive checklist for troubleshooting Home Sharing?

I googled that question and the first hit was a link to symptoms and diagnostic tests for borderline personality disorder
I haven't gotten Home Sharing to work between my iMac, iPhone or iPad, EVER. At first, I could blame it on my Actiontec PK5000 modem -- which everyone should know by now -- doesn't support multicasting, or IGMP, or whatever you call it, which is a requirement for Home Sharing to work. Some people say the latest firmware update for that modem fixes the issue, but it didn't for me. So, I bought a new DSL modem/router combo: Linksys X2000.
Home Sharing still doesn't work for me, and I'm tired of the same google results that don't produce solutions. Is there a definitive checklist for troubleshooting Home Sharing? I'm not talking about Apple's outdated troubleshooting guide.
Here are my specs:
iMac 2.4 GHz Intel 2 Core Duo (2007ish)
OSX Lion 10.7.2 - firewall disabled
iTunes 10.5.2
Linksys X2000 wireless N router w/ ADSL modem w/ latest firmware Ver.2.0.01 (Build 4)
ISP: CenturyLink (DSL)
iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1
iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
All devices share the same wireless network. It doesn't matter if the iMac is hardwired to the router or wireless, Home Sharing fails between all devices.
I beg you, please help. I have less than 30 days to return this modem/router.

Problem solved by wiping hd and doing a clean install of Lion. Yay! Apple phone support is awesome, btw

Checklist for Exchange Certificate issues

Checklist for Exchange Certificate issues
1.
Why certificate is important for Exchange and What are Certificates used for
Exchange is now using certificates for more than just web, POP3, or IMAP. In addition to
securing web services, it has also incorporated Transport Layer Security (TLS) for session based authentication and encryption.
Certificates are used for several things on Exchange Server. Most customers also use certificates
on more than one Exchange server. In general, the fewer certificates you have, the easier certificate management becomes.
IIS (OWA, ECP, EWS, EAS, OA, Autodiscover, OAB, UM)
POP/IMAP
SMTP
2.
Common symptoms for
certificate issue
Here we can see three different types of the certificate warning, mainly from the Outlook
side.
a.
Certificate mismatch issue
b.
Certificate trust issue
c.
Certificate expiration issue
3.
Checklists
In this section, checklists will be provided according to the three different scenarios:
Certificate Mismatch Issue
[Analysis]:
This issue mainly occurs because the URL of the web services Outlook tries
to connect does not match the host name in the certificate.
[Checklist]:
Firstly make sure how many host name in your certificate the certificate. Run “Get-ExchangeCertificate | select certificatedomain”.
Secondly, check the web services URLs which Outlook are trying to connect to. Run “Test Email AutoConfiguration”
In this scenario, you need to check the host name for the following services:
Autodiscover
EWS
OAB
ECP
UM
If any of the urls above does not match the one in the certificate, refer to the following article to change
it via EMS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726
1.
Do not forget to restart the IIS service after applying the changes above.
2. Make sure a valid certificate is enabled on the IIS service.
Certificate Trust Issue
[Analysis]:
For the self-signed and PKI-based (Enterprise)
certificates, they are not automatically trusted by the client computer or mobile device, you must make sure that you import the certificate into the trusted root certificate store on client computers and devices. On the other hand, Third-party or commercial
certificates do not have this problem. Most commercial CA certificates are already trusted because the certificate already resides in the trusted root certificate store. Because the issuer is trusted, the certificate is also trusted. Using third-party certificates
greatly simplifies deployment.
[Checklist]:
If it’s an Enterprise CA certificate, manually install the root certificate to the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” folder:
If it is a 3<sup>rd</sup>-party certificate, first remove and reinstall the certificate. Check whether the Windows Certificate Store on the local
client is corrupted. If it still does not work, please contact the third-party CA support to verify the certificate.
Certificate Expiration Issue
[Checklist]:
When a certificate is about to expired, we just need to renew it by referring the following article:
Renew an Exchange Certificate
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332322(v=exchg.141).aspx
To avoid any conflictions, it’s recommended to remove the expired certificate from the certificate store.
[How to set a reminder to alert the administrator when a certificate is about to expired]:
It’s easy to fix the certificate expire issue. But it should be more important to set a reminder before the
certificate expiration. Or there can be a large user impacts.
Generally, the Event ID “^(24|25)$” will appear in Application log when a certificate is about to expire.
If it’s not quite visible, we can refer to the following solution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2011/11/18/certificate-expiration-alerting.aspx
OWA certificate revoked issue
[Analysis]:
IE
includes support for server certificate revocation which verifies that an issuing
CA has not revoked a server certificate. This feature checks for CryptoAPI revocation when certificate extensions
are present. If the URL for the revocation information is unresponsive, IE cancels the connection.
[Solution or workaround]:
1. Contact CA provider and check whether the questioned certificate is in the Revoked List.
2. If not, check whether the certificate has a private key.
3. Remove the old certificate and import the new one.
Workaround:
IE Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Clear the "Check for server certificate revocation"
checkbox.
4.

(Reported previous post with link to SIS package to moderator)
This is not the correct SIS package for the N73. The package shown is for S60 3.2 devices, but the N73 is not S60 3.2, I believe it is S60 3.0.
Most features may work with this SIS, but if you experience strange problems, try using the S60 3.0 version.
But there are no significant difference between 2.5.3 and 2.5.5 with regard to attachments. The only changes were with localization (languages).
At this point, try 2.7.0 which is out now:
http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php
Make sure to pick the right phone on the drop down list. It does matter! There are 4 different packages. This list makes sure you get the right one.
I have seen some issues with attachments not completing that seem to be carrier dependent. You can test this my using Wifi (if possible).

Checklist for eliminating latency?

Using LE8, I've tried everything I know, including increasing the sample rate to 192000, and there is still some slight latency when I use my Yamaha XS8 to play Ivory (stand-alone) piano voices, as opposed to playing the synth's internal voices.....at 44.1 it's completely unplayable. My piano guru/friend runs Ivory at 44.1 samples on a Mac Pro, with no latency whatsoever. Although my Mac isn't a quad core, At 2.8Ghz and 4GB RAM, mine is pretty fast. (I have Ivory sounds on the first partition of a 7,200 RPM Firewire Extreme Lacie, and the software on the Mac.)
Anyway, hints or checklists for all the specific settings I should be looking at would be appreciated. My Interface is the Alesis io|26.

Cool....thanks. I do use Pro Tools for most of my work. I'm wondering if Digi's Core Audio manager has any effect when using Logic....for example does it leave any Buffer setting remnants intact in the Mac system, even when using Logic? I'm having trouble eliminating latency when using Logic -- have tried everything I can find in Logic and Mac settings -- and am wondering if the Core Audio manager is an issue? Thoughts?

Safe boot required for firmware upgrades??

The two recent firmware upgrades, EFI and SMC, both required me to do a safe boot for the firmware to install. Is this normal behaviour?? Trying to do the firmware install from a normal boot results in in an installation failure.
Possibly related, the "fixed" version of Parallels crashes the Mac during the install. If I try the same install during a safeboot, it will install. However, the system will panic during a normal boot until Parallels is uninstalled.
Thoughts?? Advice??? Thanks!

Software Pack 8.1.0 install fails "Phone Firmware Install failed"

Hello-
I have a brand new UC540 that I am trying to install the latest software pack on (8.1.0) using CCA 3.0.(1). I have gone straight into Maintenance>Software Upgrade and tried to run the update, but it fails with "Software Pack Installation failed, reason = Phone Firmware Install failed". I try to run the Software Pack install without any phone loads selected and the same thing happens. Also tried wiping the system to factory defaults, but it says the current factory default configuration is missing and I must download the version of the software package.
Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
In addition to David's excellent post make sure you configured the UC's IP Address as default gateway. In my case I had the exactly same problem. After a closer look I noticed that the UC used a different IP address for some tftp requests than the one from the directly connected network.

It looks like the UC used the Loopback0 IP address which was unknown because of the lack of a route/default gw. after i configured the 192.168.10.1 as default gw, the CCA update run trough like a charm

I have a box that will not go away, it says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? If i push not now, it keeps popping up, if I push install, it says it's not available, help.

I have a dialogue box that will not go away and it seems to have started when I upgraded to Mt. Lion. the box says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java 6 SE runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? (smaller print) Note: Usw of this software is subject to the Software License Agreement applicable to the software you are downloading. A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: htp://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Finally there are two boxes to click. One says not now. If I click on that the box goes away for 2 to 3 seconds and then pops back up and WILL NOT go away. If I click on the second box, Install, it says The software is currently unavailable. To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open Java Application again.
My confusion here is that I have no idea what the java application is, When I click "okay" on that box, the original box pops us again and WILL NOT go away. CGoing to the apple lega web site was no help. My solution so far has been to drag the dialogue box as far to the lower right and out of the way as far as I can. Help.

Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.
