Firmware update with black menu interface option?

Hello folks and Apple people,
I purchased my black 30gb iPod a few weeks ago, and it's cool except for the fact anything that comes in contact with the casing scratches it. A little disappointed in that but from what I gather the only thing to resolve the issue has been to put the soft white case in with each model (which also scratches the acrylic) :-/
Anyway, my main question is one that I think others would be interested to know about. Are Apple going to release a version of the software for this iPod that permits me to change the menus from a white background to a black one with white text? It looks a little out of place with such a cool black unit, and a black user interface would seriously rock.
I can only hope!
Athlon 64 3500+   Windows XP Pro   Waiting to buy my first Intel Mac as soon as they come out!!

Sounds cool, but it would probably look goofy and hard to see the album art. But i do like the idea of being able to change background and menu colors.

  • Printing with Black Cartridge Only option grayed out: Officejet 6000

    Trying to print a black and white photo in gray scale using only the black ink cartridge, unfortunately that option is grayed out. Is there some setting that has to be chosen first before black cartridge only option becomes available?
    I feel like I've tried just about every combination, but maybe I'm missing some minuscule, unintuitive step.
    Thanks

    Nope, its not a bug.  When you choose borderless the print region actually becomes bigger than the page to make sure there are no white gaps.  The ink that does not make it to the page is caught in a trough filled with foam just below the print zone.
    The color ink is a dye ink (like food coloring).  The black ink is a pigment ink - like carbon dust suspended in water.  When it is over-sprayed in the trough it piles up until the pile of pigment starts dragging and smearing on the back of every subsequent page!  Not good, so we do not allow the black cartridge to print when set to borderless.

  • Firmware update with muvo tx 128mb ..solved

    hi all
    today i have tried to update my muvo firmware with win 98 se
    i have installed drivers MuVoTX_DRV_LB__00_05_250 but unfortunately tool for update (MuVoTX_PCFW_LB__0_05.exe)dont recognize any device
    then i have tried usb 2.0 drivers (MuVoUSB2_PCFW_LB__20_03.exe)
    and Creative MuVo USB2.0 firmware update .20.03...
    i hold the power button on muvo and keep it pressed. Then plug the player to the usb-port of the computer and keep the button pressed for at least 5 seconds.
    this time installer recognize muvo and i am able to flash it, unfortunately muvo with firmware .20.03 dont works anymore as mp3 player
    solution: i have extracted files from firmware .0.05 and copied them in directory where i have muvo updater bundled with firmware .20.03.
    this time all works and i have my muvo updated... <FONT color=#222222 size=>

    ah. the file you linked twice to is for this: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=25&product=099 a completly different product than the MuVoTX 28MB (which for some reason is listed as a separate product from the other MuVo TX (28/256/52) versions...), that's why you were having the problems.
    good to know you got your muvo working again though. Message Edited by batkinson00 on 02-24-2005 0:26 PM

  • N91 Firmware update with Mac OSx

    How do you update firmware on the N91 with a Mac running OSx (Tiger)? Any help much appreciated!!!

    You don't, I'm afraid. At least not by yourself or without a PC with Windows, as the update software is Windows-based.
    You can take your phone to your nearest Nokia service/repair center, though:
    http://www.nokia.com/repair
    Or you could find a friend, relative or colleague with a PC running Windows.

  • Hp envy-m6 1201tx (Bios Update with switch-able graphics option)

    Hi I have bought Hp envy-m6 1201tx, it is very smooth in working & all,
    but the problem comes with switchable graphics.
    i've studied every possible option for switchable graphics to work so i can use my AMD (Radeon HD 7670M),
    but i can't because my pc does not support Opengl applications to run on High-perforance (AMD gpu) & and thus im forced to used low quality GPU(Intel HD Graphics 4000) which i don't want  . I want to use my AMD GPU and it it only possible if there is a (Bios Upgrade) from HP with the option of Switchable Graphics(Fixed Mode & Dynamic Mode). I've spent around $927 for this pc and also upgraded the RAM as well to 16GB & it will be all in vain if i can't use my AMD GPU. I just want bios upgrade for my PC like HP did the same bios upgrade for these PC's http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02948560&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en . Its a problem all HP envy-m6 1201tx users and others are facing.. I im a loyal Customer of HP and i dont want to switch to any other brand so HELP and Replay ASAP. 
    I hope i wont get disappointed........
    Regards 

    badar_salam
    The only BIOS update available for the HP ENVY m6-1201tx Notebook PC is "HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)" below. As to whether or not it includes Switchable Graphics in it I cannot say as there is nothing the description saying it does.
    HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115872-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Not every computer or Notebook will have the option in the BIOS as not every computer or Notebook are the same hardware requirements may not be available for a BIOS option.

  • Firmware update with web desktop manager

    Hello,
    I want to update my devices via Web Desktop Manager. I have configured the BES like discribed in the appropriate document and I have configured a share and a software bundle.
    After login in the web desktop manager, I have no possibility to update the firmware. The register card "Device software" is missing.
    I don`t know how to fade in the missing register!

  • Latest firmware update killed my network, HELP!

    so.. I updated the firmware about a month ago when it was first available.. My device is completely stock and i'm not really ready to root nor factory reset it. I reset it before due to an error on the backup assistant screwing with my external sd card (the real issue was the copy and paste error some devices were faced with). I've been through about 4, 32gb externals and the latest sandisk just sent me.. is bad too. :/
    But, that's not the issue i'm getting at. Since the lastest firmware update with caller ID, etc.. I've had little to no signal, dropped messages in my house, completely dropped 4G LTE while using GPS.. horrible due to some areas I was in.. slow or lagged device to the point where i've had to restart my device 3-4 times each day in the last week...
    Can someone either tell me if there is a quick solution to this or what the next step should be in this process. because this whole "we've retracted the update but are looking into a fix" ** isn't very settling. Since, on Verizon's time.. I'm afraid the next update won't come for a few months..

    I am having the same issues described by everyone else (dropped 4G, worse signal, etc.) after the update to MD3.
    My wife's phone is identical but without the update and it works fine (like mine did before the update)
    WHAT is the resolution to this issue, Verizon? I really don't believe I should have to go down the root-my-phone route and find third party sources to fix this issue. Why can't you just push the old firmware back to my phone?
    I am quite disappointed that what was my best smartphone experience to date has been ruined.

  • FIrmware update error

    I see that others have had problems updating the Airport Extreme firmware to 7.3.1. Mine is now at 7.0.0. Solutions proposed by others just don't seem to work for me. Tried soft and hard resets, unplugging, even a system reinstall. Tried updating firmware incrementally (7.1.1, etc.). In short, I've been stymied at every turn. This has not been a typical "Apple" experience! Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
    Thanks-
    Rob

    Hi,
    Be sure to run the firmware update with Airport Utility 5.3.1 (or more recent). Use a wired connection with the computer running the utility plugged into one of the group of three LAN ports. You also need to have working connectivity to the Internet so the computer can grab the firmware image from Apple via the Internet.
    After I upgraded to 7.3.1, it didn't really seem to solve any pre-existing problems. Frankly, I'm thinking the upgrade path for the AEBS is to retire the AEBS. I've had an AEBS for over a year and have never gotten it to perform satisfactorily. The best luck I've had is using the AEBS as a dumb bridge. I'm going to see if I can get the AEBS to talk WDS (wireless distribution system) with my Linksys WRT54G/GS or my Cisco AP350. At least one other AEBS owner said WDS works with Linksys - despite the fact that Apple's HowTo says the AEBS's WDS is proprietary.

  • Aluminum Keyboard firmware update FAILURE

    I accepted the firmware update yesterday and was asked for my appleID password to confirm installation. After the firmware installation started (listed as "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0" in the title bar of the installation window, but 1.1 in the software update list), the keyboard just stopped working entirely (although the mouse connected to the USB slot was still functioning) and oddly, I was asked for my password to resume installation. Of course at this point, I had no functioning keyboard to enter the password!
    I plugged in a spare MS keyboard to put in the password and continue the installation, which stalled due to some internet issues (still not sure if it's ISP or AirPort related). I woke up this morning to check and the update was still stuck installing. It wouldn't let me close the update without forcing, but I went ahead and stopped it and re-started the firmware update by checking for software updates again. The update asked me for my password THREE times and went through a loop of progress on what appeared to be the same installation screen. After the third time, I received a message that the firmware installation failed.
    So now I've completed the firmware update (with an error) and managed to incapacitate my keyboard. Any idea what I can do to get my keyboard working again?
    I'm aware of the possibility that the additional keyboard may be causing problems, but being prompted for a password three times during the firmware update necessitates it.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    At this point you may be better off taking the KB to an Apple Store and getting them to install the firmware.
    To be honest, I would never do a firmware update with Software Update. As you see, things can go wrong, especially when you are relying on an internet connection. Whenever SU informs me of a firmware update I decline to install and then go to the Apple Downloads page, manually download the update and, following the instructions exactly, install the update manually.

  • EFI firmware update - I can't get any sound from ITunes now.

    I just installed the firmware update with no problems except I-Tunes won't output any sound. It is playing, but no sound comes out through speakers or through the headphone outlet.
    I reinstalled ITunes latest version, still no sound output. Checked my sound preferences, still no sound from ITunes.
    I do get systems sounds (the beeps and stuff), just not from ITunes.
    Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Try trashing iTunes preference file (com.apple.iTunes.plist) and repair permissions.

  • HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

    Slone,
    I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity.  After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new.  I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad!  This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
    I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used.  Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
    Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
    I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup.  I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
    Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware.  I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like.  Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
    Good luck!

  • Lumia 920 locks up with Black Update

    I'm using an unlocked Rogers (Canada) phone on T-Mobile (USA). My phone had been working fine with the Amber update but as soon as I updated to Black it started hanging and acting weird. These are the symptoms:
    1. If I have a device pin setup it hangs as soon as I type in the pin or if I hit the emergency call button.
    2. If I don't have a pin, most apps don't start. They say they are loading but after 30 seconds or so they drop back to the start menu.
    3. It never successfully reboots, I have to use the soft reset key sequence (power + volume down) to get it to restart.
    4. I see missed incoming calls but the phone gives no indication when you're actually calling it.
    Things I've tried:
    1. Soft reset.
    2. Hard reset.
    3. Flash to pre Black using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. (no longer possible since it downloaded the black update this morning)
    4. Restoring backup after hard reset.
    5. Picking all the defaults after a hard reset.
    6. Changing the region on startup after a hard reset.
    7. Changing the keyboard layouts (remove some, add a bunch). This the one setting I seem to be able to get to.
    8. Uninstalled all apps I could (I can't see what games are installed).
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? I'm in the US and the phone is Canadian so it's going to be a pain to send it in anywhere.
    Thanks!

    that's really a bummer.
    I went through the same thing/similar when I updated my 920 to black.
    I had to hard format and use the NSRT to reinstall the firmware completely 10-12 times until it finaly took the firmware correctly.
    other than that, seems you have done everything you could to troubleshoot it.
