DR8-A2 not recognised following Live Update

Hi,
Having ruled out a motherboard problem (thank goodness), it seems that my DR8-A2 DVD drive is the cause of my system hanging at POST whilst detecting IDE drives.
Whilst in Windows (XP Pro), reconnecting the power to this drive causes the system to hang until I disconnect the drive's power.
Just prior to all of this happening, I had updated the firmware using Live Update 3 to see if this would cure a problem with the drive not always 'seeing' a CD unless it was reinserted a couple of times. Now that I cannot boot with the drive attached, is there anyway to try to reflash it back to life?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Patrick

Well it just happened to me aswell, ran live update and now the system doesnt recognise it at bios level, like you said the system just hangs at post unless i cancel the detect, but if i continue to load windows xp in safe mode the system will boot, but obviously without the dvd writer... but loading windows in normal mode it just hangs or crashes as soon as i click the mouse...
now if the drive isntr recognised at bios level how the hell can i flash it back etc...
i think they screwed up on this firmware release now i have a dead drive

Offline install of Windows 7 SP1 not recognised by Windows Update

Hi
I have asked this question over at the Windows Community forum, and someone suggested that I ask here.
This question regards Windows 7 and Service pack 1
I bought a couple of new computers, and decided to use the offline SP1 installation on each to get the computers up to date when I first configured them.
So I downloaded the offline update iso from Microsoft, created a DVD and installed SP1.
After configuring my computer, I then connected windows update to get all fixes etc since SP1.
To my dismay windows update has presented me with a list of *all* updates, including SP1.
Is there any way of getting Windows update to recognise the fact that I already have SP1 installed?
Further info:
This is the procedure I went through.
1) Built the computers
2) Installed Windows 7
3) Installed hardware device drivers
4) Installed SP1 from DVD
5) Connected to the internet
6) Activated Windows
7) Used Windows Update
8) Installed the fix/patch required for windows update to work
9) re-connected to windows update
10) Was dismayed at the list of fixes requiring download. (around 148)
After going through the process of downloading the updates, at around the time of the second re-boot, the list of updates included Service Pack 1.
AV Software was going to be the next thing to install, after the computer was *fully* patched
Further Further informatio :)
I have since gone ahead and installed Windows on my second computer.
I'm still interested in finding a solution for future reference.
After installing Windows7 and applying the offline SP1 update, I checked to see what updates were installed before
activation and connecting to windows update.
These are the updates listed.
1) Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 (KB976902)
2) Update for MS Windows (KB976902)
3) User Mode Driver framework V1.11 (KB2685813)
4) KB958488 (the list just haqd the kb number, no title)
5) Hot Fix for Windows (KB2505454)

Hi Daz,
You mentioned that the SP1 prompted again in the needed updates, I suspect that that is not the full service pack, it is only some changes to existing non-security content, appropriate 10 MB size. you can check the size of the update to confirm
this.
See more information in this link
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/894199
And after you have manually installed the updates offline, have you checked whether these updates are listed in the "installed updates", or in Update history? And you can check the new detected updates, whether they have been successfully installed
in your system. Meanwhile, when you check for updates online, please check your Windows Update settings, we recommend you to check for important updates, not optional updates or hotfix. You can install the optional update or hotfix when you need it in the
future.
Regards

Office 2013 (Word, Outlook, Excel, Power point) are not responding after live update

I had problems all last week with my Office applications not responding. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software which did not solve the problem. I then did a samsung 5 recovery to factory state and installed office all over again which temporally
worked. My computer then prompted a windows live update after which the same problem came back with windows application not responding.
Please help as this is holding up my work.

Hi,
Please check your update patch list, if you had installed the Office 2013 SP1. please try to update the display card dirve. See the below thread:

Phone not recognised following iOS 5 upgrade

Following iOS5 upgrade to iPhone 4, iTunes (Win7 x64) will l not recognise the Phone. It displays
"The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software".
I have redownloaded and completely re-installed iTunes and Recovered the phone but the message persists.
What should I do?

Unfortunately, it's up to the app writer to make his/her app iOS5 compliant. I'd suggest finding the app's troubleshooting or contact info and letting them know there's an issue. If they're non-responsive, then you can look for another one. It's entirely possible that they don't even know there's an issue.

I need to reset my apple tv due it not working following system update. I cannot reset onscreen, so need to factory reset via iTunes. However, upon plugging into iTunes with the micro usb cable, iTunes is not picking it up. Any ideas pleas??

All that happens is the light on the front of the apple tv flashes rapidly. Itunes is not recognising the apple tv being plugged in, so I cannot attempt the factory reset. Help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you made sure that you have removed all the cables other than the USB cable when connecting with Apple TV to iTunes. Also make sure that you have connected the Apple TV to a powered USB port.

IOS update still did NOT fix the live updating to smart playlist on iPhone

I updated to the brand new iOS 4.1 today, and I am still having an issue that has made me upset for the past few months. For years and years I have been able to use smart playlists that have live updated on my iPods and iPhones without problems. Recently, within the past few months of software updates, my smart playlists have stopped live updating.
Here are two examples I'm talking about:
1. I have a smart playlist of music that I call Unrated for iPhone. The smart playlists requirements are that it has no star rating and that it is limited to 500 MB. I used to be able to rate songs on my iPhone, and they would get removed from the playlist automatically within my iPhone without having to sync it with my desktop. Now, as I rate those songs on my iPhone, they stay on the unrated list.
2. I have another playlist called 5*'s least recent. The requirements for this smart playlist are that the songs have 5 stars, and they are limited to the 75 least recently played songs. Songs used to be removed from that list once they were played. Now, they stay on that list until I sync my iPhone to my desktop.
What happened to live updating? Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I have loved this feature for years and now there is a bug! Has anybody brought up this topic before? Because I couldn't find any solutions.

FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
Cheers,

IPod not Recognised by Latest Update in Windows 8.1/64 bit .

Howdy, I am using Windows 8.1 / 64 bit, have updated the iTunes to the most recent verision (11.1) My computer says it ""doesn't recognise the iPod "" When I re-instal iTunes, it still says the same. I go to the left hand side to authorise the iPod and it says ""You have already authorised this iPod"" When I go to ""more"" it rambles on about goinmg to the Right Hand side and something about a "" Charm Bar "" Then it says type Services in, I type Servises in and up comes a rambling diatribe of nonsense and things that are not mentioned in the Aplle help. I am supposed to ""choose services below search field"" ????.. Ther is NO ""Choose Services""
Can anyone advise as the help page is seriously out dated but hey that's APPLE for you. So from having a perfectly good iPod that is about 5 years old and having paid for 64 downloads and updating to the latrest version, I can't even charge the iPod let alone play the music i have paid for. The iPod isn't recognised, the APPLE help is out of date and very vague and doesn't work. 14 Feb 2014 .

Hello @vmsbobj ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand after installing Windows 8.1 you are no longer able to use the brightness, hibernate or sleep mode options.
I cannot seem to find the exact model you've listed. The drivers found here should do the trick for you though: HP 15-g030au Notebook PC Drivers. What you're looking for is the HP System Event Utility software found in the Software - Solutions section.
If you can respond with the product number for the notebook I may be able to give a better answer. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Let me know if this utility resolves the issue.
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Ipod not recognised by finder, updater or itunes

whilst updating my ipod (older version 30gb with dock) with my mac last night (power mac G5) - there was a problem which meant that i had to restart the mac. now the mac doesn't recognise the ipod (not seen in finder or itunes) and i can't restore it, because updater doesn't see it either. the ipod software doesn't see the music either, although it must still be there as the "about" section in settings tells me that there is still alot of usage of the memory. any help with this would be gratefully received.

Have you been through these?
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

Calendar not syncing following IOS8 update

I really hope someone can help me - I have spent about 3 hours trying to sort this out.
Updated my iPhone 5 to IOS8; and my calendar not longer seemed to be syncing (Outlook 2010 on Widnows 7). Did some research, and it looks like I am now forced to use iCloud - would prefer not to, but this doesn't seem to be an option.
Managed to get my contacts to sync eventually, but my calendar still isn't syncing. When I look at my calendar in Outlook, I now have several calendars, including the "Calendar from iCloud" which has all my appointments in - in Outlook. On my phone, however, there are just one or two appointments, and at bizarre times (such as my personal training session at 4am - I'm not that dedicated!! I have logged into iCloud Calendar through a web browser, and the calendar is the same as is showing on my phone.
I have signed out and back into iCloud on both my PC and my phone (when I signed out on my PC, it lost ALL of my calendar information from Outlook but was restored when I signed back in. I have signed out on my iPhone, reset it, signed back in...nothing. The problem seems to be the sync between iCloud and Outlook.
I have checked the iCloud Outlook Add-In is active (actually it wasn't, but I managed to activate it, and it is now active).

Hi, I think we should focus on the apple bugs and not try to insult each other...... No software is without its bugs...
I have IOS 8.0.2 on my iphone 5 and ipad 3 and managed to get around the syncing issues..... so it appears that this bug may be hard to replicate, and likely to be dependent on on a number of variable factors.....
JennBaggs, have you tried the following
turn off iCloud Calendar Sync
turn off Outlook Calendar sync
Close all Apps
Power Off iPAD (holding the power down button)
Power on ipad
Perform system reset (Hold down home key and power button until the screen blacks out and displays the apple logo.
Turn on only outlook calendar sync
go to your calendar app and ensure your outlook calendar is selected for view (you can check this by selecting the plus button at the bottom center of the calendar app.
I'm hoping this sequence of steps remedies your problem....
Regards
Rodney Hee

My battery is not being charged through charger actually it is being charged but really very slow and computer not recognising device after update to ios 6

my phone battery is not being charged through the laptop or when it is switched off the phone is being charged and after its on it does not show charging icon but charges at a real slow speed pls help as facing this froblemm since ios6 update

Hello,
I wrote on another tread with same subject about month or two ago and until now, no one replied. I had the same problem. Today, I was at the friend who has HP laptop. We tried to solve the problem and tried it as follows:
1. My battery in my laptop with my charger - not charging (appears in windows battery charging but all the times it remains at 90 %).
2. His battery in his laptop with his charger - everything is working fine (this is just for the records)
3. My laptop, his battery his charger - everything is fine.
4. His laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is working fine
5. My laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is OK.
I didn't try putting my charger in his laptop with his battery inside. But from above, it seams that something is wrong with the charger. Does anyone have some explanation? This is totally weird problem. Is there any logic in the charger that can prevent somehow battery charging? I am waiting another friend to bring his laptop and charger to assure that everything is OK with my motherboard and battery ( after all, charger is the cheapest, isn't it?) Since I'm electrical engineer, i would like to hear some explanation for this problem.

You mean your iTunes password does not match what iTunes has on file to what you have on the iPad?
Did you forget the password, or did it randomly stop working for purchasing or updates?
Can you log in to iTunes on the computer?
Changing the password in iTunes doesn't effect what is physically stored in iPad settings.

External Hard Drive (Samsung) not recognised since I updated to Mavericks

Hi,
Since I updated to Mavericks I can't see my external Samsung HD when I plug it in. It's lit up and my ports are working fine. I can however see that it is listed under 'Disk Utility' - butwhat do I need to do so that I can use it again?
Any advice much appreciated.
On Disk Utility it says I have options of either Repair or Verify Disk - is that what I need to do? Sorry - tech noob here.
Thanks

Apple ID not recognised for Auto updates

When the Auto Updates option asks for my Apple ID, it keeps rejecting it and I'm definitely putting in the correct ID. Anyone experienced the same and found a solution?

Premiere Elements 10 - Project not compatible following OSX update

Hi,
I have recently been working on a project within Premiere Elements 10 on a mid-2010 iMac without issue.
Over the last weekend I decided it was time to upgrade OSX to Yosemite (v10.10) from Snow Leopard (v10.6) however since then, when trying to open this project, I receive an error that "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements".
Some of my other previous projects give the same error when trying to open, however some do not. I think it may have something to do with whether I have included a DVD menu - those that do work, do not have a menu added.
I'd like to stress that I have only ever used Premiere Elements 10 for these projects.
Has anyone had similar issues or found work arounds?
Cheers

I am strictly an Elements User and problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes. But, you mention of
"The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements" coupled with "DVD menus" brought back a 2011 flash back
of a Premiere Elements 9.0 Windows issue.
As a just in case, please check it out and determine if any of it applies to your situation in spite of the fact that on the surface your issue
is presenting a going from one Mac operating system to another.

In another more recent instance this type of error message pointed to disc menus...
PE 13 - Project not compatible with current version of premier elements
Have you checked the integrity of the related Premiere Elements 10 computer saved disc menu themes in the change from one Mac operating system to the other?
We will be looking forward to your progress.
