Does the Audible 2.2x_ firmware update really fix battery iss

i've been reading that the audible firmware fix takes care of the battery conflict.
is this true?

The new firmware that adds Audible support also reduces the standby time to 4 hours, which is the same change that was in the previous PDE firmware (referred to as the battery drain fix).

  • Does the MacBook need a Firmware update?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if with this little beast we needs an Update regarding its CPU (Firmware).
    Thanks in advance guys.

    To run Boot Camp, no. For anything else… that's really up to the Apple-update Gods. Most Macs have at least one firmware update in their lifetimes.

  • I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

    I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
    I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
    If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    The bottom of the page I link to says:
    Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
    But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
    Boot ROM Version:          MM51.0077.B10
      SMC Version (system):          1.75f0
    What does the additional "B" mean?
    My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
    I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

    Hello,
    It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!

    Not sure what the B means.

    No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

  • Does the upgrade to ios 8.1 really took so long? since yesterday the status is "Update Requested".

    does the upgrade to ios 8.1 really took so long? since yesterday the status is "Update Requested".

    I have the same problem. Software Update sits for many hours, stating "Update Requested..." Gear spins slowly, but it reaches no conclusion. Tried restarting phone several times.

    Yes, the iPhone 5 is compatible with the latest version of iOS.

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • HT4623 Help! After doing the IOS 7.1.1 update my iPad 4 just shows a iTunes icon and a cable with an arrow. It won't turn on. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    After doing the IOS 7.1.1 update on my iPad 4 the screen just shows the iTunes icon and a cable with an arrow. I can't get the device to open. Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks!!

    Yes. The phone will be back to default settings.
    Once the phone is up and running you can try and restore your backup again.

  • Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to Apple's download webpage instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime dialog box?

    Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to to Apple's download webpage (to download a full version of iTunes) instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime pop-up/dialog box where I usually perform the updates?

    iTunes 10.4 and Safari 5.1 contain more than 'just' the OSX Lion-release but stability and security improvements as well.
    For example, here is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 what the Safari 5.1 contains.
    In here http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ I can't find an "end-date" for the download of the Lion installer.
    Nonetheless, personaly I would download the Lion installer and then copy it (from your Apllications folder) to a secure place (backup harddisk, external hardisk etc.).
    When your IT gives it a go you can then use te Lion installer from inside the Applications folder, but I would also say to make a bootable clone of your current OSX Snow Leopard before starting the Lion installation.

  • HT1600 How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?

    How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mine's usually about 5 minutes, but it wouldn't be more than 30-40, if it's any longer.......
    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • Battery Life and the 1.4f10 SMC Firmware Update.

    Since the 1.4f10 SMC Firmware Update makes the fan to run constantly at a low speed, will that affect the battery life?
    Anyone notice any big decrease on battery life?
    thanks.
    Lok

    The fan should account for a pretty small amount of total energy consumption in any notebook computer (my guess would be about 2%) - but that assumes it kicks on once in a while and not running constantly.
    Since the upgrade, my fan has been running non-stop while on AC with peripherals plugged in, but not as much when I disconnect everything and run on battery. I think the battery is driaining faster but I do not have good data pre-upgrade. It would be great if someone could post a pre and post upgrade battery performance test. If you do, make sure to do a callibration first: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284

  • Anybody else having trouble running the GeForce 7300 GT Firmware update?

    The GeForce 7300 GT firmware upgrade doesn't seem to work for me.
    I have a 2.66GHz Mac Pro w/ 3GB RAM that was purchased back in May. It has the stock 250GB HD (no partitioning) in drive bay 1 and two 300GB drives for audio files and iTunes in drive bays 2 & 3. I am only using one monitor. While viewing the system profile, my GeForce 7300 GT has these specs:
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0393
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 3004
    The update downloads and installs fine through Software Update, but as soon as I run it to actually begin the update process, I get this message:
    Necessary resources are missing, corrupt, or you do not have the correct permissions.
    Delete the Geforce 7300 GT Firmware Update and re-download it and run it again.
    item: 6
    I have re-downloaded it a number of times (either thru Software Update or direct from the Apple site) and I've verified/repaired permissions with disk utility as well, but I still get the same result. I've had no issues at all with my video since owning this machine, so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
    Any ideas?

    Hi All,
    Some basic chunk of our monitor settings are stored
    in PRAM, now I can't think of any specifics that will
    result in the error massage you got but still for a
    real "clean" update try resetting PRAM
    (<Command-Option-P-R> before the gray screen) and
    then applying the update.
    Some more about PRAM
    reset...<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnu

    Hope This Helps

    Baryo:
    Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that already, but I still got the same result. Console shows that KEXTLOAD crashing everytime the update tries to run:

  • Why does my retina MBPro and the projector go blank, when connecting with HDMI? This worked fine until the latest OS and firmware update.

    Connecting through HDMI worked fine, until the recent firmware update and the 10.7.5 OS update. Now, both retina display and projector dosplay go blank, with the screen coming back when unplugged from the projector.

    Clone your system.
    Never apply updates w/o one.
    And yes there is a page with all the Apple Downloads to do manually and then you can keep it on hand. Same for the OS X Lion or ML installer - save them before running. Still on 10.6.8 so you have OS X 10.6 DVD.
    Combo updates do not do any harm. There could be issues to the drive directory beforehand.
    Mac Pro has been shipping with Lion since summer 2011, though you can even now still reinstall iwth 10.6.4+

  • HT3728 Firmware Update 7.6.4 Error: I uploaded the 7.6.4 firmware update today, and received an error message as it was finalising. As I am using my Time Capsule as the Airport router, I am now no longer able to access it to try to resolve the problem. He

    Dear Support Team,
    I agreed to the Time Capsule 7.6.4 update today, but as it was completing, I received an error. It said to close the page and try again.
    I use my Time Capsule as my Airport wireless router and now can't access the Time Capsule to re-upload the Firmware update.
    Has anyone else had this happen?
    Is there a way to resolve the problem?
    Do I need to hardwire the Time Capsule? Then what?
    Would really appreciate some help!!
    Thanks everyone.

    Factory reset the TC and it should come back to life.
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
    As a rule .. wireless is not reliable enough for mission critical work like firmware upgrades.. (Heck I don't think it is reliable enough for backups).
    Apple doesn't insist on wired connections.. some other manufacturers do.. and post warnings not to attempt it over wireless. Warnings inevitably read after the failed firmware update btw.. so perhaps Apple have decided to just save themselves the hassle.
    I believe it is just good practice to use ethernet for any time that sitting on a branch.. whilst sawing it off (ie failure will kill any future access).. means you always use ethernet for any setting up of a wireless router.. but you see I am old.. with grey/white hair.. and too many dead modems and routers around me.

  • Does the Imovie 6.0.3 update fix the stability issues?

    Hi,
    Been using Imovie 6.0.2 a fair bit lately, and have had quite a few crashes. I see from this forum that I'm not the only one.
    I haven't yet been able to update to the latest version (6.0.3) released last week, and would like some user experience opinions about whether the update has fixed the stability issues. Anybody noticed any improvements or otherwise?
    My crashes seem to happen pretty randomly, it could be when you're putting a transition in, or just when you click Play or move the playhead. Any time really. I get the little spinning circle and Imovie is hung. Tried leaving it for ages just in case it was eventually going to return, but it doesn't.
    Has the patch fixed it?
    cheers,
    Ian

    Software Update says I have nothing that needs updated. Since I know this isnt true, I went to Downloads and attempted to install both updates--it stopped and said I had to go back to the previous download. After a couple journeys back to nowhere, I gave up.
