E63 Firmware Updated now Content Copier "Hangs / H...

Good evening.
This is my first post here and it's a cry for help:
I updated my E63's firmware this (10/9/09) evening and then did the restore from PC Suite Backup "Nokia Content Copier", downloaded fresher versions of 3 or 4 applications, redid my email accounts and, once everything was back the way I wanted it, tried to do a backup via PC Suite to "gel" my changes should I have trouble down the road.
PC Suite Backup "Content Copier" goes through 7 of the eight progress points it lists without a hitch. On reaching the eighth "Settings" stage and displaying "67%", it stalls out... I've waited over an hour for it to resume / finish / error... 3 times! The program responds fine on the PC (WinXP) when I abort the backup.
Any suggestions or ideas are most welcome at this point - I feel rather vulnerable not having a backup of my data to fall back on...
Thanks in advance for your time

MODERATOR - Please delete my post: Problem self-solved after soft reset. Sorry!

New Zen 8GB crashed during firmware update; now I can't get it to reboot or connect to a compu

I went and exchanged my "problematic white screen" ZEN 8GB for a new one this evening. When I came home, I attached the new unit to my computer and started to perform the required firmware upgrades. The upgrades downloaded fine, but after the installation started, they seemed to freeze. I waited for an hour before I did anything, but finally had to assume that the update had malfunctioned and would never finish on its own. At that point I clicked "cancel" in the window monitoring the upgrade installation, and thought I could just start the process anew. Unfortunately, my computer no longer recognizes the ZEN when it's plugged into a USB port.
I rebooted my computer, just in case that was the problem, but it still can't find the ZEN when searching for devices to AutoUpdate. As for the Zen itself, I can turn it on and off, but the screen remains black (i.e., no info on screen). If I reset it, the screen flashes the word "Creative" only. If I try to do a Recovery, I can't get any text to appear on the screen. I can't even reformat the ZEN via my computer because they're no longer speaking. I assume that the interrupted firmware installation caused this problem, and that the ZEN just doesn't have enough of an operating system installed to work properly. Is there any fix for this that I can tackle myself Or, is it back to the store to return this one, too I have noticed a lot of white screen flashings as I've been working with the new ZEN, so perhaps this just wasn't meant to be. Any words of advice are certainly appreciated, however.

Same happened to me and I only had the thing a few hours. I may leave it connected overnight to see if the battery needs charging but if nothing happens it's going back. I've tried plenty of suggestions. The Creative screen flashes on when I plug it in but then just sits there. Reseting does nothing and how can you do anything to it if it's not recognised by the PC. Vista did see it before the update attempt. Wondered whether to throw XP back on.
Do I have to resort to the new ipod Nano
OK I've done it. Somewhere on this forum it said to disconnect the Zen from the PC.
Now at the same time, press and hold the play/pause button, put a pin into the reset button and hold down the on/off switch (yes all 3 in that order at the same time). Recovery mode came on and I tried to uninstall the firmware update from previously - it didn't do it but I updated the latest firmware again anyway and this time it worked. I guess the last attempt didn't take.

Macbook Air interrupted firmware update now bricked, help!

My friend has attempted a firmware update on her Mid 2012 13" Air (MacBookAir5,2), I'm afraid not sure which update it was.
Anyway, the battery was completely flat and she says she attempted the update after the magsafe power had only been plugged in for a short time.
Now it is continuously trying to install firmware update, press power button to turn on, it runs through update then shuts down, when you then press power button to start up it just goes through the process again (5 times so far).
I can't see a way to re-install the firmware as you seem to need a Mac with an optical drive.
Ran OSX utilites and repaired disk, no errors.
Ran Apple Hardware Test via internet all OK, no errors.
I'm running out of ideas of what to try next.
Thanks in advance

There one thing you can try, but before we start, it may be a good idea to reset the SMC and PRAM. The first would be to try and reset the firmware. This can be done by starting with the computer off and then pressing and holding the power button down for about 30 seconds until you hear the POST gong and see the screen light up. if the progress bar pops up let the process finish and the computer restart. Hopefull it will boot in to the OS after that.
if you keep having issues you may want to contact Apple for the next steps.

Trackpad Firmware Update 1.0 Freezes / Hangs

I had a brand new MacBook out of the box a day ago. The only thing attached to it was the power cord. After a fresh setup for a new user a number of Apple software updates were found and I agreed to install them. Upon the first reboot the Trackpad Firmware Update application started up automatically. A gray box appeared with a warning not to interrupt or shut the power off to the Mac. I clicked "update" and the status bar started moving (no other applications had been opened). It got to about 95% done and hung. A one inch thick line of dark gray appeared to cover the top edge of the screen (it was translucent so I could still see through it).
I left the computer alone for 10 minutes because I was warned not to interrupt or shut the power off during the firmware update. With great reluctance I eventually pushed and held down the power button (there was no possible way to "Force Quit Applications" and the computer appeared completely hung).
After powering back up the machine the Trackpad Firmware Update application says the firmware is up-to-date and the trackpad appears to work. So it appears all is good. My questions are:
1) Is anyone else having this issue?
2) It is quite concerning to see a firmware update hang. Is it possible, or even advisable, to redo the update? The updater application won't allow it because the firmware is supposedly "up-to-date" but clearly there was an issue with it completing properly.
3) Can anyone explain what happened?
I have noticed people having other problems with the update but only a few talk about it freezing up or hanging up during the update itself.

Seems like some others have had this issue as well but certainly not everyone. I found the following:

There is an article on "recovering from an interrupted trackpad firmware update" here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3312 but it seems to say you should be able to try updating again. When I relaunch the updater it says the firmware is up to date even though it never appeared to complete before I had to force a shut down. Hopefully a newer version is released sometime that doesn't freeze the system when installing.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless - Driver and Firmware update, now it's frozen?????????

Just recieved my headphones yesterday - plugged it in and charged it = works. I then decided to download the newest drivers and firmware and went straight to bed. This afternoon, suddenly no sound is detected, what so ever! The USB Power LED flashes slowly and a constant red glow is showing at my headphones.. When I try to re-pair it, the USB Power LED flashes rapidly as it should, but neither the Mic Mute button, nor the Connect Button on the headphones responds.. It feels like the headset is simply just frozen right after the new driver/firmware installation.
I've tried everything pretty much.. Went from Wireless to USB to see if that helped, but it didnt. Tried to remove / setback the drivers, still dosn't work. Headphones is just completely frozen with no buttons working and a constant red glowing light - can't be turned off or restarted!!!
WHAT TO DO?!?
Cheers,
Alexander

My headphones just ran out of power during the day = it resetted itself. I then connected it again and re-paired it. Atm it's working perfectly fine again. I will now try to reinstall the Control Panel, not the driver though, hopefully it will work this time and wont make the headphones go into "non-responding-retarded-mode" once again :-)
Conclusion: For me it felt like it was either the Drivers or the Firmware update, maybe both, which made my headphones "crash", or atleast not respond to any command / buttons pushed. If anyone faces the same or similar problems as me, due to installation of drivers/firmware, let your headset run out of power (if you as me, don't know how to remove the battery manually) and just reconnect it :-) Should work then.

Time Capsule (brand new) needed Firmware update, now issues still

I have just updated my firmware on the Time Capsule, (I did figure out why I was getting an earlier error on my Time Capsule when an error popped up that "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to my TIme Capsule because the "backup image was already in use". I finally saw the number or exclamation mark (I forget) and it stated it needed a firmware update (wish it would download them automatically). After I did that though, I am backing up my iMac.
I have to take my iMac to Apple today in Tampa and drop it off to replace the HD per the replacement program of a recall so I have to make sure the backup is complete. I also want to make sure my iPHone is backed up and so I was told when I bought Time Capsule that it would also wirelessly sync up all my Apple wireless devices.
I was told to use Airport Utility, but that doesn't seem to work at ALL now and I'm not sure why. As of Feb. 7th, that was updated and it seems to have caused problems for many.
I am in v. 1.2 and just deleted it and added it back in.
How can the Time Capsule allow my iPhone to access it through Airport Utility? Was there a setting I am missing?
HELP with the Time Capsule backup, the iPhone (and then my daughter's iPod, my iPad and that's about it) backing up wirelessly through Airport Utility.

Your idevices do not backup directly to the TC.. nor does the Airport Utility do anything but setup the TC.
Time Machine is the backup for the Mac.
The devices like iphone are backed up to itunes or cloud..
The itunes is then backed up by TM to the TC.. so it is indirect.
See apple doco on back of iphone for instance. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Let me also suggest you do a disk image of the mac. You will find this is much easier to recover your working mac from.. in fact get a USB drive is even better and download superduper.. you can do free disk images from it, but they can also be done from disk utility. Make a bootable USB drive which is an image of your existing internal drive. That can be easily restored to the Mac when you get it back.

Zen Micro Firmware update - Now can't transfer W

I loaded my WMA files to my new ZEN MICRO 4Gb player... Then I signed up for Napster to Go...Said I need a firmware update...did the update...Had reload again...but, now all my transfers of WMA files fail! MP3 files work fine...Anyone have the issue before?

Ever since I upgraded the firmware for the micro, I have been unable to transfer WMAs via Media Player v0 or Creative MediaSource. The error I receive is "An error has occurred while transferring this file". This only occurs on WMAs. MP3s transfer fine.

Zen Xtra fails PlaysForSure Firmware update - Now it won't install a firmw

Zen Xtra 40 - Was upgrading from .30 firmware to 2.0.03 to support WMP and VistaFirmware Upgrade to Failed to Complete
Downloaded and ran PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03
It identified my Zen Xtra and started the upgrade, Zen Xtra rebooted and just sat there. 2 hours later I disconnected Zen Xtra and its in Recovery Menu. Reboot says Firmware Problem and goes to the recovery menu again.
If I plug it back into my system it says it found a 20mb 'Portable Device' MTP and lets me open the device but nothing is on the 20mb partition.
If I run PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 again it says I must plug in the device, even though its definitely plugged in and recognized as an MTP device.
Seems like the PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 isn't designed to identify the device after a partial upgrade? Tried older .30 Firmware install program, it can't identify the device either. Device shows up in Device Manager as Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra using a Microsoft Driver.
I've installed the latest JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00.exe drivers and it does not help. Device still detects as a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. If I uninstall Windows Media Player it won't install any drivers and won't accept the PCW Driver either.
Where can I get a firmware updater that will function when my Zen Xtra wants to be an MTP device?I tried another computer with WM9, just PCWDRV 2.0 drivers, and it will not detect and install the drivers when I plug the device in. Says it can't find suiteable drivers for this device.
Tried Cleanup, Reload OS, Reboot.
Boot v.4 and HW v0.0. Any ideas?

Wow after searching hundreds of documents on this forum I got my firmware updated
!!! I took my notebook, which I had recently upgraded from WMP9 to WMP after I could not get it to recognize and upgrade my Zen. I uninstalled WMPI uninstalled WMP RuntimeRebootedI went to Microsoft and get WMP0 specificallyInstalled it and closed itI ran the ZenXtraPS4Audible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exeOn the Zen I selected Reload OS, I click to have it reload OS, while it was doing that I plugged it into the notebook. The Firmware Tool Detected the Device again!!Current version 2.0.03Upgrade will be 2.0.03I click Upgrade!?It upgraded this time!!?The bummer is ALL MY MUSIC is wiped off my device. I didn't format it, but I guess the upgrade does it for you. Which means I just lost hundreds of dollars worth of songs since WMP doesn't have a license transfer and all my music was on the ZEN. So even though I have the files on my computer, they won't play because I don't have the license any longer.

Firmware updated, now I can´t use Huawei E220 modem

I´m at the end of my tether.
I have an i-mac running OSX 10.4.8 if I remember correctly.
Yesterday (2nd October 2007) my mac downloaded a firmware update.
I let it install the firmware update and then when I tried to get on the net with my Huawei E220 modem it no longer worked.
I deleted the vodafone mobile connect program, used my windows xp laptop (with my Huawei E220 modem) to download the mac installation software for the modem, and re-installed the modem on my mac, but I still have the same problem:
I click on the vodafone mobile connect icon and the icon starts bouncing up and down... but it doesn´t open the programme window, and doesn´t respond - it´s the first crash I´ve ever seen on the Mac. I don´t know a lot about macs and need help with this problem - I even shut the mac down, and turned it on again holding the "on" button in, incase there had been a problem with the firmware. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? please?
MacIgnoramos.

doh! even a pc user probably could have told me how to do this:
1) uninstall vodafone modem program "using the proper uninstall option of the program" - i.e. not simply dragging the icon to the trash can.
2) re-install.
3) sit back, and enjoy the mac again.

My MacBook pro did a firmware update now will not accept my password

My Skype account was hacked so I changed the password for my computer too I did a firmware update the computer started up and went to a black screen asking for my password it does not accept the new or old passwords. I have tried resetting the password with the snow leopard install disc but it will not recognise it and ejects. Please help

Try image capture (in your applications folder) - or the finder - if neither of these see the card uyou need to try a USB card reader - once you get yoru photos off use the camera format command to erase and reformat the card
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Firmware update, now it won't start poperly!

I just got my macbook back from a 29 day service, the shutdown problem, guess that dosen't matter.
However it workt fine to boot up and everyting was going fine, until I did the firmware update for SMC? The fan speed control update!
There is no doubt that the fans sounds more, they are! Alot more. Well thats not the problem.
The thing is, when I power on my macbook the only thing that happends are the "sound loop" and a black screen. Nothing more! After some google-ing i found out that I maby had to reset the "PRAM"? After powering on press altfunktionkey+RP and the machine reboots. At first I thought that solved my problem, but I have to keep resetting it every singel time I reboot/power-on the computer and that is realy annoying.
So the BIG question is, is it possible to downgrade the firmware back to the old one? And if it is HOW do I do it?
Thanks for your sugesstions!

here is the link to repair permision:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
just restart using your installer disc by pressing C when the disc already inside the macbook, or press option key and choose 10.4.x folder from the disc.
Then go to disk utility and repair permission, and hope that solved your problem, and repairing disk while you are there won't hurt either.
You can also reset the pmu too.

Good Luck

Computer died and interrupted the Firmware update, now I'm stuck

Not sure what to do, the computer won't start up, but the light is on... no keyboard functions will work, and the screen is black...

If a firmware update has failed during installation and the firmware becomes damaged as a result then there is a way to restore the computer's original firmware.
It's necessary to download certain software from Apple and burn it to CD. Of course this means another Mac (in working order) is required.
Details here: Firmware Restoration CD 1.2
Note there is a small error in instructions 7 & 8. A correct version can be found here: artnum 303469
MacBook (OS 10.4.8); iMac G4 (OS 10.3.9); iMac G3 (OS 10.2.8); etc

E63 firmware update

Somebody is hurt because I permitted myself to write in his/her topic.So, new topic.
I did a firmware upgrade to 400 .... number.Until now my E63 battery made 3-4 days with bluetooth continously on.Now barely makes 36 hours.I read somewhere that this firmware contains bluetooth improvement too...
Lol, if this is improvement, than what to expect from any new firmware?
Another issue...
Ovi Suite, it just eats up with two kind services: service layer... and nokiamserver... about 30% of cpu, all the time.
Even this error is "repaired" in this new 2.0 Ovi suite...
So, I don't get it, why so many updates without fixing that concerns people.Because i think many people are using Windows 7 now...
Thank you for answering.

This just means that V200 is not yet available for your product code. The current version is V410. You are quite a bit behind which would suggest to me that your phone could be network branded.
The firmware for network branded handsets ahave to be modified and approved by the network first causing delays. Sometimes some networks don't bother at all. I have been pestering Vodafone Ireland for an update to V35 for my N95-2 and it is stuck at V20.
You can check the availability of update for your phone here.

Nokia e63 firmware update

i was using a 5233 and i felt it had better features than the e63 i am using at present.please release an update similar to the e5.its an amazing firmware.just love it.please release something like that as soon as possible.thanx

Unfortunately the E63 won't be getting any further major updates as development of that device has ended. If you want the E5's newer OS you will need to buy an E5.

E63 Firmware update issue -

Guys- I recently purchased one of these from the Nokia online shop. I was pleased with it until it started crashing, then I did the most stupid thing I have ever done - I tried to reload the firmware via NSU - bad idea!
NSU decided that the product code for my handset belonged in Germany (even though its supposed to be UK generic) and consequently NSU loaded the German keyboard layout. I called Nokia support and spoke to an engineer, who went through various tests including a hard reset, reflashing via NSU, and altering the locale of the unit, all to no avail. I was advised to take my handset to a Nokia Care Point for reflashing, I then informed the engineer that this was pointless as the care points cannot alter the language file
I have now had to return the handset to them as faulty, and have got to wait two weeks for a replacement. I am, as you can imagine, not happy!
My advice? dont use NSU to update one of these handsets because Nokia will try to say it is your fault that its broken, and if they tell you to take it to a care point, dont bother as they wont be able to fix it either!
