One other thing that's not in the change log (but the regulars here know it from experience): If you're upgrading from an earlier 2.x firmware, you won't lose your music. Only those upgrading from .x (non-PlaysForSure) firmwares will lose their music.

  • Sun Ultra 5 DST firmware update required?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if the Sun Ultra 5 requires a firmware update for the DST timezone change? I'm guessing not and only solaris patches required.
    Thanks!!

    Hello.
    The system clock on Sun machines runs in UTC time.
    It's libc.so and the time configuration files which are responsible for the local time (translating UTC to local time and vice versa). Therefore libc.so does DST, too.
    This means: No firmware update is required for time zones and DST, only OS updates!

  • Late 2006 MacBook Pro replacement keyboard: firmware update required?

    My late-2006 2.33GhZ MacBook Pro is still going strong -- except that a group of keys on the internal keyboard stopped working two weeks ago, requiring me to replace it. It was a delicate operation, but it worked like a charm.
    Shortly thereafter, though, I started noticing a symptom that jogged my memory: when I'd go to type something, quite often the first character would be dropped, as if the keyboard wasn't waking from its low-power state quickly enough. This had been a common complaint with this model, and Apple addressed it with the MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update released in 2008. I recall installing it and very specifically noticing the problem had vanished.
    So of course now I'm wondering: is it possible my new keyboard needs the firmware update too? You can see the catch-22 I'm in: I can't install it, since the computer is convinced the updater has already been run. when I do run it, I get a generic message that the update isn't necessary. I even tried removing:
    /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.BuiltInKybdFirmwareUpdate.bom
    to see if that would enable the updater to run, but no dice.
    Of course it's possible I'm simply losing my mind, and the keyboard already has the update. Could someone else with this exact model -- someone who has run the keyboard firmware update -- tell me what version their internal keyboard is at, based on:
    System Profiler -> Hardware -> USB -> Apple Internal Keyboard
    Many thanks!

    Hi Eric,
    Any resolution to this? I do not have the exact same MacBook - mine is a 17" MacBook Pro, but in case it helps you, my updated keyboard version is 0.18 using the same installer
    My problem is that when I originally used that software update (over a year ago), it created an intermittent keyboard/trackpad failure. Every 2 days, on a very regular basis, my trackpad and keyboard fail. In order to fix the problem, I go to the Utilities folder and run the "Built-In Keyboard Update Firmware" that the original DMG installer installed there. Once I run that program I'm good for another 2 days. Apple, of course, has no clue to what's going on.
    Why am I telling you all this? I noticed that you are running Snow Leopard. I tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago. After the Snow Leopard install, my keyboard failed like clockwork; however, it turns out that the firmware installer that I have been relying on for the last year to fix my intermittent failures no longer works under Snow Leopard. My phone calls to Apple were a complete waste of time (apparently there is a very low threshold to get on the "Genius Bar"). One of my questions to them was specifically about a way to re-run the installer from the DMG file. They again had no clue, and In the end I had to downgrade to Leopard to get my Keyboard back.
    All that said to let you know that even if you can find a way to re-install the firmware updater (I'd like to know how, if you figure it out), there is a good chance the actual firmware update won't install under Snow Leopard.
    Good luck - let me know how you make out.

  • 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!

  • BDX1100 firmware update required

    I recently bought the Blueray version of XMENays of Future Past. I tried playing it on the blueray player, and it kept ejecting it. I played it on the PS4 and it worked fine. Reading online, it seems Fox added some new copy protection to the disk which is making it incompatible with older players. So a new firmware upgrade is needed to support this change.
    If you decide to do so, make sure that if you use Region A for Blueray, then DVD should play regions 1 and 4 as well. Unlike your original firmware.

    You would need to download and install this firmware update before you can install OS X. However, Tiger is not supported on that machine; the last supported version for that is 10.3.9. Apple no longer sells this, but you can still find it at various retailers.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.

    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:

  • Downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update?

    Can I downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after having applied the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0? This firmware update requires OS 10.5.2 or higher to be installed. Now that it is installed can I downgrade back to Tiger (10.4.11)?
    I have a MacBook Pro 17 (late 2006). It ran perfect except for the occasional ignored first key press problem that these MacBook's have. In late December I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.6) and installed the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 that is suppose to fix the ignored first key press problem. Ever since then I have had constant keyboard & trackpad failures. When the built-in keyboard fails, thankfully I can still use an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. I've tried everything. I've reinstalled Leopard four separate times, reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, pressure on the keyboard cable under the battery (even though I don't think this version of the MacBook has that problem). Nothing restored my internal keyboard and trackpad. During this process I tried to re-install the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update using the original package file that I had downloaded, however I was given a message that the keyboard didn't need to be update because it already has the updated functionality and the installer package would then quit. Then I remembered that the original firmware update actually installed a Keyboard Firmware Update application in my Utilities Folder. When I ran the Firmware Update application in the Utilities Folder it instantly fixed my keyboard problem! Unfortunately the keyboard fix is not stable. It fails 2 to 3 time a week. Running the Keyboard Firmware Update application fixes the problem every single time, but this renders my MacBook useless as a portable (I have to have an external keyboard/mouse to run the Firmware application). I have, incidentally, tried all the other suggestions in the many keyboard threads in this forum (putting the computer to sleep, restarts, shut downs, PRAM & SMU resets, repairing permissions, running other applications, etc.), and nothing works except reinstalling the Keyboard Firmware Update using the application in the Utilities Folder. At this point I just want to downgrade to Tiger and go back to the way it was. I'll happily take the ignored first key press problem over a completely dead keyboard.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how you were able to get the macbook to accept the update? I had to take mine to apple store and get entire keyboard and trackpad replaced in my macbook. They then told me to ignore the update cause they did not have any other keyboards to replace if it happened again.

  • Crucial M4 SSD shows in BIOS and runs, but is not visible to firmware updater

    I recently upgraded an older computer to Windows 10, and while everything worked, it takes a very long time for the operating system to load. Once the login screen appears and I log in to the system, however, everything is quick and works as intended. The Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 SSD I'm using is running in IDE mode, since this older machine doesn't have AHCI. I found that a firmware update was available (070H) and thought it might help with the slow loading times, so I downloaded the Windows 8 firmware updater and tried to run it. It detected the drive and identified the firmware as 040H. When I ran the updater, however, it spun for a long time, and then said "Not Responding" and threw up an "End Process" button. I terminated the process and rebooted the system. It took several minutes to load, as it did previously, and when it loaded, I started the firmware updater again, only to find that the drive was no longer detected. I downloaded the manual updater file, burned the ISO to a CD, and rebooted the system. I tried to run the manual updater, but it told me it couldn't find an eligible device. I rebooted and let the system take its usual long time to load, and now I'm back to where I was before the attempted firmware update, but with no way to update the firmware. Can anyone offer me a solution that will enable the firmware to be updated once again? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Firmware updates require AHCI, as does most of the technological features that make SSD's perform properly. This is written just about everywhere.Thank you for the suggestion. I read the instructions, however, and not only was it not apparent that IDE mode was incompatible with the upgrade process, the instructions themselves suggest IDE mode as a workaround for older systems: "If your m4 drive is not recognized in Step 8 of the 'Run the Firmware Update' section above, it may be necessary to run this update in IDE mode instead of AHCI mode, on some older systems." I am aware that AHCI is the optimal solution for an SSD drive, as I have installed several of them in the computers I've built and the laptops I've serviced. Even in IDE mode, however, it offers a significant speed boost for older machines, and for people who don't have the resources to replace their computers, it helps to extend the life of their systems.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Pismo w/panther needs to create bootable OS9 partition for firmware update

    Hi guys -
    I have the original software install and software restore cds that came with my pismo, and I'm sure there must be a way to install OS9 onto a partition on my pismo from there without erasing any of the data or OSX10.3 on the other partition. Years ago when the original hard drive died, I simply bought and installed Panther and didn't install os9 anywhere.
    Now I've picked up a MBP and am unable to complete the Migration Assistant data transfer from the pismo to the mbp using FW (it recognizes the info on the pismo, but stalls during transfer at 8.1 hours to go!) because (it seems) I never installed the 4.1.8 firmware update on the pismo when the update came out. The update requires a boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 writeable partition.
    So, essentially, I'm looking to install os9 off of one of the original powerbook install/restore cds onto an empty partition I've prepared on the pismo so I can update the firmware and then complete the migration to the mbp.
    1. Is there a way to check the pismo's current firmware (in case I've already installed it years ago and forgot?)
    2. Is there a simpler way to get OS9 onto the pismo?
    3. Is there a simpler way to migrate my data to the MBP? (Other than pick up a 2.5" FW enclosure, remove the hd from the pismo and do it from there?)
    4. If no, to the above questions, How do I do this?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Tom -
    Thanks for replying so quickly, and the tip on how to find the current firmware info !
    I just checked and my pismo is also running Boot ROM Version: 3.2.4f1
    However, my concern isn't how well or whether it can run Tiger - it's the machine's ability to run in Firewire Target Disk Mode. And the update in question is intended to address the pismo's shortcomings there (it's mentioned in the ReadMe file that comes with the update). It's in the apple document for troubleshooting Migration Assistant that I discovered the existence of this update. The process for me freezes...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
    Nice to hear that Tiger runs well on the pismo though, I'll bear it in mind for the future.
    Here's what I've done since posting my initial question:
    I inserted the Software Restore CD and copied over all the files from it onto my partition. System Preferences<Startup Disk recognized an OS9 system file on the partition, and I selected it as my startup disk. Unfortunately, on restart I got the question mark flashing over the folder, and the pismo booted up from the Software Restore CD still in the drive. The CD did not identify my HD as viable to be restored to, something like there was nothing to restore and I must install software instead.
    I am very wary of doing an install because I doubt the partition will be detected and of course the Install CD will erase the contents of my hard drive during the install. I'm tempted to pick up a cheap hd and install OS9 on that for the update, but there must be a way to get it onto the partition without wiping everything out!
    Any additional help would be appreciated!
    Best
    Steve

  • Cisco 5508 Firmware update 6.x 7.0.98 Questions

    Hi guys,
    Have not done an update on any cisco gear since about 2001
    We have a cisco services contract with IBM that supplies us access to the usb drivers, firmwares etc, and we have a Cisco 5508 6.x running ~30 Cisco 1252's, some 1231's and (potentially) some 1262's once the firmware update is done.
    We have a base-count license(permanent) of 50AP's, no expiry
    So I guess my questions are:
    1) When flashing the new firmware - do the licenses require any sort of modification, or will they work as per normal
    2) Are any serial numbers or codes required to be entered once the 7.0.98 firmware is installed?
    3) I assume that the old firmware/config becomes 2nd in line to the primary boot option of the firmware during boot process?
    Thanks

  • Another STUPID question from the Hoss; Firmware updating , Yes or No?

    I've gotten conflicting input from persons whom I consider to be far more Knowledgeable in their Geekness than am I.
    Let me lead off by saying that they are ALL very long-term Mac-ers, these are the people who convinced me to dive into Lake Cuppertino!
    One "faction" advises to NOT install the firmware updates, that they are a risky proposition, that the computer is best off with the firmware installed with it's build.
    The other group says that Apple wouldn't encourage us to update the firmeware if it wasn't safe and good and generally wholesome for our computers.
    My experience with this thus far; The ONE time I did be all brave and studly and do the firmware update, it froze my computer so badly that I ended up having to make the 90-minute,(one way), journey to the Apple store and hand it over to the resident Genius.
    Fortunately, it was the 15 minute fix, as opposed to the alternate possibility, which requires, apparently, 3 days.
    So I was left with the feeling that the nay-sayers are indeed correct.
    And I have some trepidation in risking it again, because I REALLY REALLY need my 'puter working, don't have so much time for driving a majillion miles to get, either a 15 minute, or a,(possibly), 3 days fix.
    What can you folks tell me about this?
    Does a significant interval between the inception firmware and the update you finally decide to install exacerbate the risky-ness of doing it?
    Is there a point where you absolutely MUST update the firmware?
    What causes the brick-ness after the install?
    I am certain that there are MANY differing opinions and experiences.
    I will appreciate any responses that may help to make this all clearer to me!
    THANKS, And CHEERS!

    More than likely because they got bit when doing one or are paranoid from reading these "emergency room" episodes. That's the beauty of having multiple, bootable clones. You can do the updates on one and test to see if there are any pitfalls. This is my standard advice before updating/upgrading/installing new stuff.
    Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

  • HELP! Frozen mac due to firmware update crash. How do i restart it?

    I have had my Tiger 10.4.7 Mac for 4 months, no problems, but when computer done a firmware update, it got part way through and I lost power to computer. Now when I try to turn on all that happens is a black screen with the white power dot on constant. I tried to install the OS X install disc but I cant get that out now as none of the keyboard buttons seem to work. I tried the support phone line, but they just told me to download a firmware patch. I lookedon the site but have no idea which one they suggest to try, and how would I get it to recognise it anyway? Any ideas please?

    There is a download for restoring original firmware on the Apple download page, for each computer.
    You need to download it, burn it to a CD and follow the instructions.
    And never do a firmware upgrade on any computer unless it is on a UPS. Sometimes it is not recoverable and requires factory service to repair.
    But I suspect that the restore firmware CD will work for you.

  • G-4 firmware update?

    What in the world is that? It keeps downloading on my screen uninvited. To install it, it says I have to press a button on the front of my computer. I'm afraid of it because I don't know what it is and it's an intruder. I'm tired of it taking it upon itself to download on my computer when I didn't request it.

    Your current Firmware is identified as the Boot ROM version in you Apple System Profiler. Look at this link. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.
    You didn't say what model G4 you have. On the above link, find your model Mac & click on it's firmware link. Then read the Read Me file. If you are not planning to install OS X, trash the firmware update file & your problem will go away. You can install the firmware & you Mac will operate on OS 9.x without having OS X installed.
