Flashing back MacBook 5,2

I have a Firewire camera that will runs on a MacBook 5,2. The system needs Boot ROM MB52.0088.B05.
I have a number of Macbook 5,2 running the camera wil no trouble. All have the Boot ROM I need and it works great.
However I have more Macbooks 5,2 that have Boot ROM MB52.0088.B06. Pre-installed with 10.6. These will NOT run my Firewire camera.
The camera locks up within 2 hours of use.
I have successfully flashed the firmware on one Macbook 5,2 and now it works fine. So I know it's the Firmware.
I'm using the command from this article.
http://pubmem.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/flash-efi-firmware-update-manually-on-a-m acbook-51/
If worked one time and I can NOT duplicate the procedure on more Macbook 5,2
I change hard drive between MacBooks and ran the same command.
Apple states the Boot ROM version is MB52.00088.B05.
How can I get these back to B05?
Can anyone help???

My cursor recently started to dissapear when im not using it but when i press a key it flashes back for a second... how do i fix this?

Well I'm a frequent Firefox user ad recently my cursor has started to dissapear when I'm not moving it. However when i press a key it flashes back for a second also, when I'm moving it flickers a lot (one moment its there one moment it isn't). How do i fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Earlier today (july 20th 2010)

Never saw this problem until today, first on Facebook, then on these Mozilla support pages. I had one Firefox window with multiple FB and Mozilla tabs open.
Here's my observations: On the FB and Mozilla pages, the cursor (arrow/hand) acted identical and as described here, would disappear after 2-3 seconds of inactivity or non-motion, then instantly reappear with mouse movement or key strike but only momentarily if no further motion/action occurred. Interestingly, I also had one FoxNews tab (actually FoxNewsInsider) open, and observed slightly different activity. The Cursor/hand would disappear as described above, but instead of staying invisible, it flashed on /off for what appeared to be <1 second on then <1 second off, until mouse movement or key strike. Now, here's the really interesting part ... When I opened a second FoxNewsInsider tab, the problem corrected itself with no direct action on my part to resolve the issue. I was going to close all tabs, then Firefox and perform the system reboot to correct this annoyance ... but, still have not seen the problem.
Okay, I'm not going to say viewing FoxNewsInsider webpages not only provides one perspective on news, and the added benefit of fixing cursor/hand problems .. but maybe there's some to being well informed ... Sorry folks, couldn't resist ... :) I will be watching for the disappearing cursor issue again, and will reply here with any updates or changes in my observations.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Looking for MSI FX5900 TD128 BIOS !! Need to flash back from 5950

I had flashed my BIOS a couple of months back using the WFFLash utility of Leadtek and since then ive been gettin low scores on 3dmark03!
Overclocking my 5900 once get me to get a 6300 3dmark03 score and now it doesnt go over 5800 or even less!!
I was hoping if some1 could either give me a link or if some1 had the BIOS of the GPU i own, it was be grateful!!
Even has any1 else encountered this low scores after their Flash!
Oh yeah which utility do i need to re-flash - WFFLASH or NvFlash!
Hope to find some help here ! !
THanksss !!

Utk,
The BIOS is static and flashing back probably won't make things better. I believe your scores or performance is suffering from OS decay. It might be a good idea to review all the software you have installed since you flashed your BIOS and see what's running in the backround. Perhaps even a fresh install of the drivers, maybe even a fresh install of the OS.
Read this link, it saves me the time of going into detail http://www.computerclub.org/tips_tricks/tip_performance2.htm

Looking for performance degradation
Before I move on, let me point out that there's another area where benchmarking software really shines for computer users and that is in keeping an eye out for performance degradation due to OS (Operating System) Decay.
This type of problem is little understood but very common. Let's take a closer look. As you've been using your existing operating system over time, you've probably installed, upgraded, and uninstalled numerous applications. In addition, you've probably added and removed lots of hardware and device drivers. Furthermore, you may have upgraded your operating system with a multitude of patches, bug fixes, and updates.
Considering all the wear and tear these types of operations put on your operating system, chances are good that you've experienced OS decay first hand. Some of the symptoms of OS decay are frequent system lockups or crashes, strange error messages, unusually slow performance, and Windows directory that's bloated with files.
Of course you must realize that OS decay is actually a natural occurrence that results from the heavy use of your system. You could look at the OS decay problem much as you would look at an aging automobile—no matter how well you take care of it, eventually you're going to have to buy a new one.
Fortunately, you don't have to buy a new computer to solve the OS decay problem; you just have to rebuild the operating system from scratch.
As such, the question is not if you must rebuild, but when you must rebuild. If you regularly check your computer and keep tabs on your system's progress over time, you'll have a much better picture of when the OS decay has gotten so bad that it's degrading the overall performance of your system.

Since IOS 7.0.3 Screen flashes back to main screen for no reason

If I am reading an email or a web page, the screen usually flashes back to the main screen without reason or notice. I have "reset all settings" in the settings section, perform cold and warm reboots but nothing seems to help. Any others with similar problem?

Try resetting the device (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears ).

Flash Back Recovery in process flows?

Hi,
I am using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10 G R1.
I am using process flows. In order to get the old data into the tables, whenever the process flow fails, the availabe option is Flash Back Recovery.
Could you please suggest me, does it a good practice to use flash back recovery in a datawarehousing project?
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Please tell me about flash back query

Hi
Please tell me about flash back query and when to use it and the advantages..
Thanks in advance..

Flash back query is mainly used for table recovery and data recovery.. To do the flashback user requires the FLASHBACK ANY TABLE privilege.
This is how it can be used.
1) DROP TABLE emp;
2) SELECT * FROM recyclebin
You will get the tablename in the Recyclebin table.
3) FLASHBACK TABLE emp TO BEFORE DROP.
Following part expalins how it cane be used for the data in the table.
1) UPDATE emp SET sal=5000;
2) COMMIT;
3) ALTER TABLE emp ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
4) FLASHBACK TABLE emp TO TIMESTAMP(SYSTIMESTAMP-5/1440);
Now query the table to get the data which was updated before 5min.
Similarly one can use it for the database recovery also.

Flash back database in RAC

HI, I have a question regarding using the flash back database feature nwhen in a rac environemt...I see in the documentation that when flashing back the database that you will need to us the open database with the resetlogs option in order to flashback. So does the open database resetlogs need to be done for each instance in order to get the instance database open?
Thanks.

See if MOS Doc 819905.1 (How to Enable Flashback for a RAC Database on ASM) helps.
Also MOS Doc 416496.1 (ENABLE FLASHBACK DATABASE IN RAC ENVIRONMENT).

Can i recovered dropped users from Flash Back Database

I am having confusion on step by step process for Recovering dropped user from Flash Back Database or from RMAN.
And Which case we will use Flash Back Database or RMAN?

1) Restore database (PITR- Point In Time Recovery) until the schema was dropped.
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SCN XXXXX;
2) If you only want a table:
flashback table XXXX to before drop;
3) Flashback database (if you have flashback on):
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN XXXXX;
or
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO TIME "TO_DATE('XX/XX/XX','MM/DD/YY')";
You have some examples at documentation:

How many Disk do we store Flash back on?

We used oracle 10G,
we have archive logs 26G/day
we think of flash back on.
How many disk do we store flashback files?
Please help us for informations, when we need oracle flashback?

Are you asking about raid levels? If you are only copying your archive logs to one destination, then you should at least have your archivelog disk mirrored, if not a higher raid level like level 5. It would be advisable to archive to multiple locations. Remember, if you lose one of your logs before they can be backed up, you will lose data if you have to perform a recovery. The amount of disk space you would need would depend on how many archive logs you intend to keep available on disk. Also, are you using the flashback area for your rman backups? You would also need to have additional space for each of these backups you want to have available on disk. Remember, you can always backup archivelogs to tape and delete them.
My general rule of thumb is that I like to only use up to 60% of a disk available for logfiles. This way if you have a large spike in DB use for a period of time you are not going to quickly run out of space. In this example if you generate 25G of archive and you want to keep 5 days worth, then you would generate 125G during this time period, I would probably want to have 200G of disk available to give you 60% normal usage.

Flash back query !!

Flash back query ( any of the given options) is it possible to recover truncated table data?
Whether it has to be database point in time recovery or there are other ways to do it ?
Examples will be of great help.

Suddenly my entire screen now has little dots on it that flash back and forth between pink and blue. What's up?

I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?

It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.
