FIrst ipod, but needs some firmware updates..

I had avoided ipods up to now because they had no built-in FM radio. Now, one does, and it works much better than my Gen 1 Zune radio, except for the "Live Pause" feature.
Is there any chance that Apple might consider improving this feature in a future firmware update?
1. Live pause rewind/forward buttons moves throug the buffer in very large jumps, making it nearly impossible to find the place you want to resume listening at.
Suggestion: add fine forward/reverse control via the the click wheel. Center button selects the wheel to move though the pause buffer, in addition to tuning and volume.
2. It needs a live pause catch-up mode, where it plays back faster to catch up with the current time. (Fast forwarding skips too much material to be useful for this.)
Suggestion: When in delayed playback mode, play back 10-20% faster, without pitch change, (configurable)
3. If not done already, to preserve battery power, add an unbuffered Live Pause mode, where it does not buffer radio audio until pause is pressed. Once playback catches up with real time, turn off buffering again.
4. If I have the ipod powered off and locked, it should NOT power up again when I connect the headphone cable.
When it does this, I have to unlock again, press and hold pause again, then lock it again, Very frustrating.
5. Timed radio recording. Let me set up a recording schedule to catch a particular show (if the headphone cable is connected.)

*** E51 GREAT PHONE BUT NEED A FIRMWARE UPDATE... ...

Hi
TO THE NOKIA FIRMWARE UPDATE STAFF:
I bought that great phone NOKIA E51 but it needs a FIRMWARE UPDATE because the built'in camera gives photo(and videos too!) in VERY VERY "green" color that's too bad (MY OLD 6630 , so only 1,3 megapixel is best in photo quality against my actually E51..!)
*** SO PLEASE REMOVE THE GREEN COLOR TENDENCY IN THE PHOTO! ***
ANOTHER AND LAST problem I have noticed during mine along E51 testing is the integrate REAL PLAYER VERSION has VERY VERY big problems during *MP4* VIDEO PLAYBACK (MP4 VIDEOS MADE ON PURPOSE FOR MOBILE), VIDEO APPEARS In jerks (ESPECIALLY IN FULL SCREEN!) And SOME TIME IT BLOCKS DURING PLAYBACK!
*** SO PLEASE A NEW VERSION OF REAL PLAYER IN THE NEXT E51 FIRMWARE ***
FOR ALL THE REST THE E51 PHONE IS GREAT AND PRICE TOO (200€ IN ITALY), I BELIVE IT'LL BE A BEST SELLER -BUT- ONLY IF THE PROBLEMS I LISTED ABOVE WILL BE CORRECTED!!
i got latest firmware version: 100.34.20

Hi,
I wrote to Nokia regarding this issue using the Nokia India site, and the Nokia for Business site. I also sent an email to [email protected]
Here is the text of the email:
Hi,
I bought my Nokia E51 four days back, and I am VERY happy with the
phone. However, I feel that there are some shortcomings with the
phone, which need to be addressed by firmware upgrades. I am listing
them here:
1) The camera has a VERY noticeable green tint
2) The video playback in full screen mode using RealPlayer is VERY
slow and choppy
3) In the "Missed Calls" part of the call log, there is NO way to
determine WHICH number of the contact was the call missed - "Mobile
Number", "Tel.(home)", "Tel.(office)" or what? The only way to
determine is to call back using the same screen, which is VERY
counterintuitive!
You can have a look at some more people agreeing with me here -
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=14028
and the problem 3) described in detail here -
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=15956
Apart from these 3 problems, I am VERY VERY happy with the E51 - it
lives up to all the promises it makes! Way to go, Nokia! I request you
to address those 3 issues as fast as possible!
Thanks and regards,
I request ALL other users of the phone to please contact Nokia similarly, to have these issues resolved ASAP. If someone can suggest more ways of contacting Nokia regarding this issue, please tell me! Thanks!

My ipod touch needed to be updated so I did and now it won't turn on all it does is show the itunes icon and says toconnect it to itunes so I did and let it be updated and now it wont turn on and I tried resetting but nothing changed.

My ipod touch needed to be updated so I did and now it won't turn on all it does is show the itunes icon and says toconnect it to itunes so I did and let it be updated and now it wont turn on and I tried resetting but nothing changed.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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.

After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

You do not want EFI 2.2, it bricked many 2011 MacBook Pro machines.
EFI 2.3 is the fix. Software Update should install it if you need it, but it goes to the boot drive as that's where the hidden EFI resides.
Check out this link of machines and their EFI versions
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Also if your SSD should be in the hard drive bay as it makes a better boot/applicaitions drive, not a good storage drive as it wears out with repeated use and is not "scrubbable" like a regular hard drive
The hard drive should be in the optical bay and used as a storage drive, you have things all messed up inside your machine, Apple doesn't support or expect the optical drive to be used as such to begin with, then as a boot drive is just asking for trouble. So use the optical bay as storage and not as a boot bay.
Also you can't install OS X or Windows or use a Firmware restore disk because it only works from a internal optical drive, which you have removed.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
You need to learn all about cloning etc., as you have no other means to boot the machine.

I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either. How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either. How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

Are you sure it's not 6.1.6? If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch. Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

Third party routers that need no firmware update

What are the best third party WiFi routers with LAN ethernet ports that need no firmware update to work with 10.4.8 and Windows XP?

Actually the extra ethernet ports is paramount.
Otherwise you don't know who is being secure to
whom. You end up having two routers to setup for
configuration of security. Simplicity is
important, since I want to be able to help set it up
for the friend, and forget it.
?? That doesn't make any sense - I think you're missing something fundemental here. The extra ethernet ports are on the LAN side of the secure connection. The firewall in the router isolates the internal, LAN network (wireless + ethernet) from the external WAN (aka the big bad internet). Whether or not you have a switch attached to one of the LAN ports makes no difference, security-wise - you are in control of the devices connected to the LAN side of the router. WEP/WPA/WPA2 security controls who is able to connect to the wireless LAN.
From a security standpoint, there is ABSOLUTELY no difference between buying a router with eight lan ports and buying a router with four lan ports plus plugging in a five-port switch to one of the lan ports. It's exactly the same thing.
What you don't control is the WAN side of things - the internet itself. You certainly wouldn't want to connect the switch to the WAN port on the router, at least not unless you wanted to run, say, a web server that is exposed to the internet itself. This wouldn't be a good idea in any case - there are better ways to set this up as well (either by setting up a DMZ, or by setting up port forwards)
There is absolutely no reason why you would want or need two routers for this setup - this is only an issue for extremely large networks.
The WRT54G has 1 WAN port and four LAN ports. You can have four hardwired devices (computers, printers, switches, etc) on these LAN ports - they are protected from the internet by the firewall in the router. You can also have any number of wireless devices on this same router; these, as well, are on the LAN side of the router, and are therefore protected.
Adding a switch to the LAN side of the router has absolutely no impact on security. No additional routers would be required.

One song stops after a few seconds on a new ipod touch, need some help

So I just got a 16gb iPod Touch as a gift and it works fine, all my songs play fine except for one of my songs that stops after like 7 seconds of playing. If I have it on repeat it will keep doing the same thing but if I forward the song a bit it will play fine till the end. Now this song plays fine on my PC, and it has played fine on my previous iPod video. Any one have any idea on why this is happening? It's kinda scaring me since I don't have the receipt for this iPod Touch and thats one of my favorite songs.

I had the same problem with one particular track I downloaded off Limewire earlier today and I've downloaded lotsa stuff on there over the years. I guess I'm fortunate compared to some of you with like 10 songs affected.
Anyways a little troubleshooting helps here. First off, it shouldn't be happening with any track downloaded off iTunes. Those are clean as a whistle in my experiences although iPod touch had some bug issues with songs stopping few seconds into them when they first came out last year. That problem appears to have been rectified unless you guys haven't done an update lately on your units.
So if you're downloading off Limewire or some other peer-to-peer service, you're probably getting a corrupted file that is causing this problem. I tried a couple different file downloads of the same song from different users and parameters until I found one that finally worked. It is true that a corrupted file will play on the older iPods because in my case it did on my 80GB and on my computer. It's only iPod touch that appears finicky about what it wants to play.
This is most likely therefore not a bug specific issue with Apple that you can rely on fix. You guys are probably gonna have to find new source files for your affected songs until you get one that works. Pain in the arse no doubt but the only real solution.
Cheers!

Advice needed on firmware update-

Hi everyone… I have successfully replaced the HD on my kid’s imac G3 [yay!] but the [secondhand] disk is running a very old version of OS X [10.0.4, I think…]. Can anyone let me know if I need to carry out any firmware updates before installing Tiger? I’d be so grateful for your advice… many thanks!

Hello,
If you need firmware updates, then you'll have to re-install OS 9.1 (or 8.x or whatever version came with your system) to install the updates.
You cannot update the firmware from OS X on the older iMac G3 systems.
If you already have the latest firmware revision, then you may not need to worry about re-installing OS 9 to install the firmware updates at all.
Take a look at this discussion here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2707137&#2707137
That discussion will show you how to check the version of Firmware that you currently have.
This will help to determine if you already do have the latest version installed.
Keep in mind that the firmware revisions shown in this discussion relate to the iMac G3 333 MHz system.
If you have an iMac G3 350 MHz or faster (the ones with the slot-loading CD-ROM Drive), then your firmware revision numbers should be 4.19.
The firmware version / update for the slot-loading CD-ROM drive machines is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130
For the older iMac 333 MHz or other iMacs with a tray-loading CD-ROM Drive, the update you would need is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60384
Note, that you will need to re-install which-ever version of Mac OS that came with your computer to install these firmware updates.
But, if you find that you already have the latest firmware version for your computer, then you can skip re-installing OS 9 (or whatever came with your system) all-together.
If you cannot make sense out of the numbers you find when comparing them to the update, let me know what the numbers are that you find, and I'll see if I can help you out.
If you do re-install OS 9 or OS 8.6 (whichever is needed for your system's updates), then also consider getting the other updates for your system while you are at it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58174
You'll find updates for your modem, and CD-ROM drive there.
I hope this helps.

Bootcamp needs a firmware update that i already have

So i try to tun botocamp but its says i need to download a firmware update. ive already installed mac osx 10.4.7 and i cant find any other downloads on top of that. any ideas?

The firmware you need can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacearly2006firmwareupdate101.html
It doesn't show up in Software update, so that probably explains why you've never seen it.

D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter needs new firmware update from Apple

I purchased a new DBT-120 USB/Bluetooth adapter for use with my iBook (Clamshell). unfortunately, it's not allowing connections to headsets as I intended.
I have a DBT-120 B1 at home which works fine with my headset but that adapter worked only after updating the firmware with Apple's updater.
unfortunately, the firmware updater will not recognise my new DBT-120 which is a C1.
Apple, please update the firmware updater for the new C1... soon!
has anyone else written a firmware updater for the DBT-120 adapters so that headsets can be used with OS X?
regards,
Gregory

I have the same problem w/ my DBT-120 v. C1
I tried installing bluetooth firmware 1.2 and Bluetooth Firmware Updater gives me the error:
"This Bluetooth device is not supported
This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
I also tried installing version 1.2.1 but during installation that gave me the error: "This update is not needed on this computer."
I have an iMac Intel Core 1 Duo 17" that will hopefully support the headset when it finishes charging, but I would like to be able to use it on the go too.
iBook G4 14 1.2GHz, 512MB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

IPod G5 unplugged during firmware update.... I think its done...

I was installing a firmware and there was a mini-emergency in my house and I accidentally unplugged my iPod. Now, its stuck in that "recovery" loop that everybody is complaining about. Here's what I've tried.
1) The 5R's. Nothing.
2) Reformatting to FAT32 and restoring. Nothing.
3) Manually putting songs on my iPod, nothing.
4) Change drive letter in Windows. Nope.
I would love any suggestions. One of my friends said I should take it to the Apple Store, but, since I (kinda) caused harm to my iPod, the limited warranty may not cover it.

OK, I took it into the Apple Store today. Showed it to the guy at the Genius Bar.
He tried to reformat and restore it on both a Mac and PC, and neither worked. Then, he used some kind of development verison of iTunes to manually reinstall the latest firmware, which still didn't work. Finally, he told me that that he would have to order a new iPod for me.
Of course they had tons of iPods, but no replacement ones (no box, no earbuds, no charging port, just a new iPod), so it would be in on Monday. Charge out of my pocket, $0.
I went with a group of friends and they were all impressed by the service and two of them bought iPod Shuffles.

Need? firmware update on 1.8GH Dual processor G5 PwrMac for Tiger upgrade.

Equipment: refurbed 1.8Ghz PowerMac Dual processor, running OS10.3.9 Panther just fine. CPU's: PowerPC 970 (2.2); Bus speed: 900MHz. Boot Rom: 5.1.4fo
I read on Forums of problems some single processor 1.8 G5's have had with firmware updates prior to attempting to run OS 10.4.3 . I was about to install Tiger 10.4.3, now wonder if it will open a can of worms if I update firmware prior to the install. The reported problems were on machines with bus speed of 600mHz; as mine has a 900mHz bus speed, am I not likely to encounter that difficulty? I would appreciate any input from those familiar with this issue. Sounded like some of the affected owners were really stuck for a long time with that particular problem. Thanks.

Since you did not specify which particular model you have, it's hard to tell you whether a firmware update is even required. Open System Profiler and in the summary look for the Machine Model. If it's 7,2 then 5.1.4 is the current firmware version. If it's 7,3, then 5.1.8 is the current firmware version.

New Member wanting to buy but needs some info..

Hello all, I am new to this forum.
I have found this forum in the search of information regarding these Wind Top pc's.
Information is fairly thin on the net so I thought it best to join this forum and ask my questions here where I am sure I will get acurate answers.
I have searched the threads here in but still need some clarification.
My scenario is as follows:
I want to use one of these AIO's mainly as a music and music video jukebox.
Tv tuner, either built in or usb external would be good also.
Sound output is to a set of active Audioengine A5 2.0 speakers.
Ive been checking out a few other brands like:
Asus, Shuttle, HP, Lenovo and Gateway, though I like the look of the MSI ones the best.
16 inch is realistically too small, 20 inch is just about right and 22 inch upwards may be a little big and probably a little to much like a fully fledged pc, which may be a little much for what I need?
It will be placed in my Kitchen/Dining/Sitting room. Size is 8m x 6m.
I dont really want to spend a fortune, maybe below a $1000 if possibe but definately not to much above $1000. I am in Australia, Tasmania actually and viewing/demoing is fairly non existant.
The MSI 2020 or 2220 etc is probably at the top of my list.
It looks similar to a large picture/photo frame as apposed to a fully fledged computer.
I have attached my Audioengine A5's to my dell 15" laptop, T6400 or 2.0 gig core 2 cpu, 3 gig ram and Radeon HD4570 gfx.
Installed 80 gig of music and when starting/browsing windows media center for music, it does OK but I can see its not as quick as I would like it to be.
Therefore what worries me is trying to work out how one of these lower specked MSI wind top touchscreens will perform.
Can anyone please share their thoughts or experience especially regarding the browsing and playing of a music mp3 collection of reasonable size eg 80 gig etc.
Thanks in advance

It's probably a good idea to check out reviews as that will give a good idea of whether it meets your needs. I don't own a Wind Top so can't comment on what it's like to use.
MSI Wind Top AE2220 review: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/1594404/msi-wind-top-ae2220
You'll obviously want better performance than your laptop, which would rule out the Wind Top AE2020, since that has an Pentium T4500 Dual-Core processor, which is slower than the Core 2 Duo T6400. The Wind Top AE2220 would be the better choice of the two since it can come with the Core 2 Duo T6600 processor.
