Firmware update help please

Hello, I posted this in the optical forum but got no answers, so I hope someone could help here.
Hi there, I have just fitted an MSI CR52-M CDRW and ran live update to check for firmware. It said I had version 3.30 and 3.70 was available. I started the update procedure following exactly in windows mode and while it was updating it just simply crashed.
I used the flash recovery floppy it got me to create, but this just set me back to 3.30.
I tried again via live update, but this time chose to do it in dos mode. After going through the process and rebooting etc. It still says I have version 3.30?
Is there a problem with this firware upgrade or am I perhaps overlooking something?
I thank you in advance for any help and advice.

Your post in the optical forum is the correct place. It may take a while to get a response.

"Firmware Update Failure", please help

Okay so my brand new 20GB iPod photo refuses to have the systems software loaded onto it, everytime I try and use the iPod Updater (yes I have the newest version) it says: "Firmware Update Failure. Disk write error." I've got it connected with USB 2.0, it shows up as a removable storage device in my computer but doesn't show up at all in iTunes.
So if any of you know what's going on please give me a hand.

That means that USB2 port is not compatible with the iPod?
I don't think so. More along the lines that the iPod is not USB 2.0 compliant, or properly certified, or it has a bug somewhere.
Basicly if a device is USB 2.0 compliant, it will work with a USB 1.1 port, just very slowly.
from www.usb.org, if a "device" has passed the certification and has earned the proper "High Speed USB" logo http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/logo/usbhs125.gif it also HAS to work with a USB 1.0 port otherwise it won't earn the logo.
Now, this begs the question... has the iPod passed it's tests and earned it's High Speed USB certification logo? I can't find any of Apples products that have the logo, can someone point me to them?
Apple is a memeber of the USB Implementers Forum, Inc (and only has one person that is a member).
You can find some good information about USB at www.usb.org. Specificly that it is no longer refered to as USB 2.0, but as "High Speed USB" (just semantics)

Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

minxlj,
It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
Staffan,
As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

E66 Firmware update help

Hi All,
My name's Ty and I'm from new Zealand.
Have a question to be helped please.
My Phone tells me I currently have the lastest firmware version. Problem is that I know there's been a new update to 200.something.somthing.
Because of my product code. Nokia Software updater won't allow me to get the new software version.
Can someone please tell me how I can get this new software version ...? The reason I need it is because it's proven that this new software update will allow me to pair my E66 to my BMW and " transfer the contacts over " ...
Any help will be appreciated ... I've already taken it back to the shop I got it from and they tried the same thing
expecting a different result .... their more stupid than me, as I told them I tried NSU already ...
Thanks in advance

Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.

Airport not working after Apple sw updates - HELP PLEASE!!!

I have a newish MAC Intel. The Airport was working fine for the last 9 months or so until I puled down Apples usual sw updates. I did them all incl the firmware update. Now the Airport wont hook up. I have wireless to NETGEAR router downstairs. I see network broadcasting as its sen in networks box, yet when I select it and then plug in a WEP and connect it says no can do and jumps back to no network selected. Ive tried this dzens and dozens of times. Lke I said was fine for last 9 months until updates last week...grrrhh.can anyon help me please?
thanks
./david
PS ot sure what OS I have..never checked to be honest
INTEL iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi David,
sunny in Scotland right now ?? (Sorry, just joking)
Have the same one and came to the conclusion that Airport doesn't wait for the DHCP from the Netgear to get a numer like 192.168.xxx.xxx but has already one which is not in the pool provided by the Netgear.
Since I'm depending on this I help myself by turning Airport off (in the Menu) wait 20 seconds and then turn it on again.
Helps every time.
Another guy round here has helped himself by turning off the Automatic (in the Airport preferences) and has entered all numbers manually.
Regards
Stefan

Firmware update help!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I have a N95 8GB and I'm trying to update the firmware to the new version and it says that I am missing key software or something....
Can someone please give me a link to download the pc suite that I need as I think I may have the old version and a link to download the software update application please.
Thanks in advance.

Latest PC Suite is always on http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
Latest Nokia Software Updater is also separately on http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate
If you have trouble with NSU, post the exact error message you get (word-for-word as displayed on your PC). It is easier to figure out what the problem might be ("missing key software or something..." is a bit vague).

Cannot open itunes now I've downloaded the update - help please

I launched my itunes and had a message asking did I want to install the updated version. When it finished installing it said it needed to shutdown and restart - which I did. When I tried to reopen itunes from the shortcut it said it cannot open it coz some files are missing. Can anyone help please. I have contacted apple and although i've had my phone for over 90 days they have emailed me steps on how to uninstalled and reinstall safely. However, once I got the email, the first thing it tells me to do is to launch itunes which I can't do. can anyone help please? Many thanks.

Hi,
Try the following
First of all, see if you can uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If this completes, restart the PC.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
After the installation, restart the PC again.

3GS update help please.

Hi,i updated 3gs through itunes and i thought it worked,however it will not activate neither thru itunes or wifi.i have restored with no success.im now stuck with a phone that i cant go forward or backwards with.any help please before i go mad?
The phone does say connected to itunes sometimes however itunes just says "cannot activate at the moment please try again later"

Sounds to me like the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. If that's the case, the update has bricked it. It will not be able to activate.
If it was jailbroken or hacked, we can not help you here.

Maybe:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Or
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

MBP C2D Firmware update help

Currently my MBP C2D has firmware of Boot ROM Version:MBP22.00A5.B00
and SMC Version: 1.12f5. When attempting to update the firmware to the most up to date version it states "this computer does not need to be updated" even though it does not have the most current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too experienced the same thing, and was equally puzzled. Then I read this Special Report about the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2 at MacFixit. There, rather buried away in a paragraph towards the end, is this statement:
Not required for Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros Note that (although Apple makes no mention of the fact) EFI Firmware Update 1.2 is not applicable to Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pros.

X230 SSD Firmware Update help

Hello,
We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
Thanks for the support

We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
Thanks for the support.

Formated Muvo NX before firmware update, help plea

For some time ago, I formated my MuVo NX 28mb player by mistake. This caused the player the firmware to go "blank", the player would not start at all. I tried to download the firmware update, but it couldn't see the difference between my mp3 player, and a normal memory stick. Anyone have any ideas that can solve this problem?
Oh, and I apologize for bad english, as it is not my nati've language.

Is there a Recovery Mode for your player? See the sticky post at the top of the page.
